After General Crook heard Fang Lang's words, he also fell into a deep silence for a while.

Brazilians are not as reserved as Chinese people, and they don't like to hide and hide when they speak, this is the second contact between Crook and Fang Lang, to be honest, I don't know much about Fang Lang.

But today he was really moved by Fang Lang.

Because what Fang Lang said was right, Fang Lang's record was confirmed by him, and his order for promotion in rank was also announced by him personally, including the appointment of the commander of the First Fleet, which was also issued by himself.

Looking at the sharp-tongued, confident and calm young man in front of him, he felt that he was old for a while.

After thinking for a moment, General Crook asked strangely:

"Why would you be reluctant to have Mr. Orlando captain an aircraft carrier? His appointment as captain does not prevent you from continuing to be the commander of the First Fleet!

We are well aware of the advantages you mentioned, so we have never thought of removing the commander of the First Fleet!

You're still the supreme commander of this carrier battle group! ”

Fang Lang was stunned when he said this, what is the situation? Wait, let me think about it, Admiral Moraes expressed his support for himself as fleet commander, he was originally the fleet commander!

Colonel Berry also said that Orlando wants to compete for the captain of the aircraft carrier, and it seems that he really didn't say that he wants to be the commander of the fleet!

It can't be that I made an oolong!

However, the other party is the captain of a battleship, and he wants to turn around and serve as the captain of his aircraft carrier battle group, and he doesn't take the initiative to show favor to himself when he meets him, so he looks arrogant.

In this way, it will be hellish to be able to listen to your own command in the future. No, even the captain of an aircraft carrier can't accept this guy.

But this guy treats himself with this attitude, he shouldn't really just want to be an aircraft carrier captain, right?

Wait a minute! This guy wouldn't think that the captain of the aircraft carrier was the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group, right? Is there a problem with my understanding or Orlando's understanding?

Thinking about the other party's battleship captain position, it should be possible to understand the job responsibilities of the aircraft carrier captain as the commander of the battle group.

It seems that there are indeed some misunderstandings in this matter, and of course, this misunderstanding Fang Lang will not explain this misunderstanding with General Crook.

touched his nose, didn't say that he might have misunderstood, and smiled:

"Your Excellency, I believe you should be very clear that the main job of a good aircraft carrier commander is the operation and training of aircraft carriers, as for the content of this operation and training, is there anything similar to that of battleships?"

This remark reminded General Crook that the operation and training of aircraft carriers all revolve around aircraft, and this guy Orlando has been fighting for the position of captain of the aircraft carrier, and I have not heard that he has taken the initiative to learn relevant knowledge such as aircraft scheduling!

Before General Crook could answer, Fang Lang continued:

"The most important thing is that the way battleships fight is completely different from the way aircraft carriers fight, and if the commander of a battleship is in command of the aircraft carrier, it will be a big problem.

If I had to choose, I would rather choose a commander in the Air Force to be the captain of the ship, and I would be more reliable than the commander of the battleship. ”

In fact, this is also the reason why American aircraft carrier commanders must have experience in serving in the Air Force.

It should also be noted here that when an aircraft carrier battle group is fighting, the command ship is often not an aircraft carrier. Of course, it is not the same in every country.

At least our country has a special command destroyer, after all, in wartime, aircraft carriers are the primary target of enemy aircraft, which is very dangerous, and a bad command will be played out if it is directly hit.

Commanding a destroyer, on the other hand, will not be so obvious as a target for enemy aircraft, and will be able to command the actions of the entire battle formation very calmly.

The United States is doing the same, and the French command seems to be on the aircraft carrier.

More excessive cases are even put the command in submarines.

As soon as Fang Lang said these words, it was equivalent to a clear refusal to let Orlando serve as the captain of the aircraft carrier of his First Fleet, as a direct leader, he did not agree to take this position, and if the Admiralty forcibly arranged it, it might cause a situation of discord among the generals and commanders.

Admiral Crook immediately rejected the idea of Orlando as the captain of the aircraft carrier.

"Then you mean, you still want to be the captain of the aircraft carrier and the commander of the fleet at the same time, right?"

Originally, in General Crook's mind, Fang Lang and Orlando were two candidates, but now that Fang Lang has rejected Orlando, of course, only Fang Lang himself is left.

In fact, after Fang Lang found out that he might have made a fuss just now, he didn't care too much about whether he was the captain of the aircraft carrier.

However, having said so much before, and negating Orlando, it is better to slowly train it by yourself than to ask the Admiralty to arrange an aircraft carrier captain who is not familiar with him.

Moreover, Fang Lang himself also knows in his heart that although he has studied the scheduling and management of flights in Okinawa. However, there is no real practical experience to be able to truly assume the responsibilities of an aircraft carrier battle group commander.

Aircraft carrier captain is a position that must be experienced.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, to tell you the truth, I learned flight dispatch in Okinawa. But the real command of the aircraft on the aircraft carrier combat has not been experienced.

If I command the aircraft carrier battle group directly, I am afraid that I will have shortcomings. Therefore, I had to be the commander of an aircraft carrier myself in order to fully absorb what I had learned.

Become a military commander who is truly capable of commanding aircraft carrier battle group battles. ”

After saying this sentence, it can be regarded as once again explaining the necessity of Fang Lang to serve as the captain of the aircraft carrier.

After all, a commander of an aircraft carrier battle group who is not familiar with the rules of aircraft carrier operation may indeed have problems.

General Crook can be regarded as understanding the reason why Fang Lang must be the captain of the aircraft carrier himself.

"You're right, it seems that only you can take the position of captain of this aircraft carrier, after all, this is our first aircraft carrier in Brazil, and there is a process of learning and groping for many things.

All of us may have taken this position too lightly.

Well, today's meal is a full harvest. Don't worry! I support you as the captain of this aircraft carrier.

But you also have to find a path that suits us as soon as possible, and then train our own aircraft carrier captain.

You can't always be in two positions and don't give the people below room to improve, right? ”

Regarding General Crook's direct statement, Fang Lang was completely relieved.

With the recognition of the two giants, General Crook and General Moraes, I believe that the position of the captain of this aircraft carrier should be stable.

This is not a matter of letting the sand in.

After the bauxite and the fishing company got into the relationship between the two generals, Fang Lang believed that there were many things that would be easy to do.

At that time, this First Fleet should be able to truly become his own fleet.

No more opportunities to mix sand into it.

Just like General Crook said, today's meal was really fruitful.

Next, General Crook took the initiative to ask Fang Lang's experience in Okinawa and why he felt that the navy without air supremacy felt desperate.

After some conversation, General Crook became more appreciative of Fang Lang and became more eager to have his own country's aircraft carriers.

and Fang Lang did not forget to remind:

"Now that the matter here has been dealt with, we must hurry up and go to the United States to implement the matter of the aircraft carrier, and I hope to hear good news from you soon."

Fang Lang's stay in Rio is indeed not a big deal, and now whether it is the automobile industry or the equipment of the tank division, Fang Lang is no longer involved.

And now there is a more urgent thing waiting for Fang Lang's participation, that is, news from Germany that the guy named Paul may soon start the treasure.

How can this kind of treasure discovery be without one's own participation!

Now, because the automobile industry has not cost the family's money, it is time to go back to Germany to reopen negotiations on the introduction of the machine tool industry.

Therefore, Fang Lang returned to Natal after submitting an application for a business trip to the Admiralty again.

Now Natal, when Fang Lang left, has changed a lot, and the cement road of the main road is under construction.

The streets are full of police patrols, for example, when Lang first came to Natal, it felt a lot more prosperous, and now there are people hanging out on the streets of Natal at night.

At the very least, the law and order situation in Natal is recognized by the local population.

Because now that the new president is sworn in, it means the end of the military management state, and Fang Lang must hand over to the city government before he can leave Natal to do his own business.

Of course, there is actually no specific matter that needs to be handed over, after all, in addition to rectifying the police system at the beginning, Fang Lang did not participate too much in the management of the municipal government.

The reorganized police system is still managed by the city government, but with an additional training system.

Early the next morning, Fang Lang, who had finished handling military affairs, drove to the city government building under the protection of several guard vehicles.

Mayor Dursley and Speaker Jada Brooke were already waiting outside the government building.

Seeing Fang Lang's motorcade coming, the two hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and several people went directly to the conference room of the municipal government building after a short greeting outside the city government.

"Mr. Mayor Dursley, Mr. Speaker Brooke, congratulations on your re-election as Mayor of Natal and Speaker."

"This is all thanks to Colonel Fang's governance of Natal, and the elimination of the gangsters, so that people have no oppression. We in Natal now also have our own industries such as sugar, tanning, textiles, salt, etc.

Because industry requires a lot of manpower, people who used to have nothing to do are now working in factories, and everyone has a job, and all the credit is credited to us.

That's why we were easily elected as the new mayor and speaker. Actually, we know it's all thanks to you. ”

Mayor Dursley was very modest and gave all the credit to Fang Lang.

Speaker Brooke also nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the performance of the two, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"This is what you deserve, and I just provide a development idea, isn't it all you who are operating the specific implementation! It shows that your efforts have been recognized by people. ”

As for the specific reason for the election of the two, Fang Lang didn't care, after all, both of them were local political families, even if the two took turns to be the mayor and speaker, he didn't care.
