General Clark saw that his wife had invited Fang Lang to dinner at home, and knew that there would definitely be no way for Fang Lang to leave directly today.

He didn't believe that Fang Lang was real, he just came over to thank his wife for helping him.

After seeing his wife go to call Sophia, he sat directly beside Fang Lang and took the initiative to say:

"I said stinky boy, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do!"

Hearing General Clark's words, Fang Lang smiled in his heart, his face remained silent, and he pretended to be full of doubts and said:

"Oh! Uncle thinks I can do nothing but come to visit you and my aunt!"

As a rear admiral, General Clark is not a reckless man, and his brain is very useful.

Seeing that Fang Lang obviously didn't want to take the initiative to speak, then he simply pretended not to know anything, waiting to see if Fang Lang could bear it.

"Alright! I'm sure you've come to visit me and my wife."

Then Fang Lang was in General Clark's house and the parents of the Clark couple, and Fang Lang seemed to really just come to visit the couple.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Sophia came home from work and saw the gift Fang Lang gave him.

"Yikes!"

A scream of surprise almost shattered Fang Lang's eardrums.

"Fang, is this really for me?"

"Of course, I picked it out for you from Switzerland. Do you like it?"

The watch Fang Lang gave to Sophia is obviously more fashionable, and people of different ages wear different styles of watches.

Sophia's slightly pink watch is obviously very much in line with her aesthetic.

There was another scream, and Sophia hugged Fang Lang without any image, and chirped at his face.

General Clark, who was watching on the side, was furious and scolded loudly:

"Sophia, what are you going to do?"

It's a pity that Sophia ignored General Clark's angry rebuke, hugged Fang Lang's arm and said:

"Fang, I really like this gift so much, can you bring it for me?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Fang Lang.

Fang Lang never refused the girl's request, picked up the watch and said:

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

The performance of the two made Clark smoke the seven points of military qi, snatched the watch in Fang Lang's hand, and stuffed it into Sophia's hand.

grabbed Fang Lang's hand and said:

"You bastard, come with me."

Fang Lang had an innocent expression on his face, and he was almost knocked down by Clark.

Sophia looked at her father angrily and said:

"Daddy, what are you going to do?"

Clark turned his face to Sophia with a smile on his face and said:

"It's okay, I remembered that there were still some things I didn't tell Fang Lang, we have to talk alone for a while, you go and help your mother prepare dinner first."

After speaking, he pulled Fang Lang and walked directly to the study, and after closing the door with a "bang", he said to Fang Lang:

"Stinky boy, I warn you, don't beat my daughter's idea."

Looking at General Clark's anxious expression, Fang Lang smiled and looked at the furnishings in the study, found a chair and signaled to General Clark that he could sit?

General Clark glared at Fang Lang and sat down on the chair behind his desk.

Seeing the other party sit down, Fang Lang also sat opposite him unceremoniously, and saw a large copper ashtray on the desk, knowing that the old guy's study was allowed to smoke.

Pulling out the cigar he was carrying, he handed one to General Clark and said:

"Uncle, I don't really understand, do you have any preconceptions about me, John and I are brothers, Sophia is John's sister, I don't know which is older Sophia or me.

However, I also treat him as a sister, so why do you think I have bad intentions!"

Clark stared at Fang Lang

, trying to see the truth of Fang Lang's words from Fang Lang's face.

Seeing that Fang Lang really didn't have any abnormal expression, he put his heart down a little.

But then Fang Lang's words made General Clark angry again.

"You see, though, that I'm a young man.

Sophia is a beautiful angel, and I can assure you that I will never go after Sophia on my own.

But if Sophia were to attack me, I don't think I would be able to refuse."

"You bastard, I know you're here to buy aircraft carriers, but haven't you already made connections?

According to me, General Nimitz has agreed to sell aircraft carriers to you, what are you going to do here?"

Clark didn't want Fang Lang to continue to stay in his house, he felt that he should send the other party away quickly, so in the end, he couldn't help but take the initiative to start asking Fang Lang's purpose.

It's a pity that Fang Lang didn't want to follow his rhythm, and smiled:

"You've said everything that Admiral Nimitz has agreed to, so why should I, a retired rear admiral, come to you?"

Fang Lang added the tone of the word retirement very heavily.

Clark felt particularly harsh when he heard it in his ears, and he unconsciously felt a little lost in his heart.

That's right! I'm already retired, so what's there to hold onto!

Seeing Fang Lang's indifferent attitude, he couldn't help but think in his heart, this kid wouldn't really just stop by to visit his family!

It would be embarrassing if that were the case.

Clearing his throat, General Clark forced himself to calm down:

"Better it be as you say!"

Originally, after Fang Lang said the word retirement, he was worried that the old guy in front of him would not be able to accept the blow and lose his temper.

As a result, although it looks a little lost, the whole should still be open.

Originally, Fang Lang was going to contact General Nimitz in advance through General Clark's relationship, but the old guy in front of him didn't know why, he was always guarding against him, and he felt a little like he couldn't get in.

Fang Lang was not ready to meet Nimitz through him, so he deliberately showed a desireless appearance.

The father of this kind of brother, Fang Lang doesn't want to use money to win over the other party to serve him.

But when I saw the other party hearing him talk about his retirement, he showed a trace of loss.

couldn't help but move in his heart, and deliberately teased:

"What? Looking at you, it seems that you are still a little reluctant to retire!"

General Clark's retirement was a choice that had to be made, and if there was a choice, of course he wanted to continue to command the battle of the aircraft carrier battle group!

As a veteran, how many people are really willing to leave their high-ranking positions easily?

Looking at Fang Lang's obviously deliberately ridiculous tone, General Clark surprisingly did not refute.

Just glared at Fang Lang fiercely, and began to trim the cigar in his hand.

It doesn't look like you're in the same know.

Fang Lang felt that this old man was a little cute at this time, and smiled:

"Hmm! It looks like I'm really reluctant!

Or, for John's sake, how about I hire you as an advisor to my aircraft carrier fleet and continue to use some of your spare energy?"

As soon as he heard Fang Lang's words, General Clark, who was still a little ignorant of Fang Lang, looked at Fang Lang and said:

"Isn't that the purpose of your kid's coming here today?"

Seeing General Clark, with a look of expression that you really didn't have a good heart, Fang Lang also said helplessly:

"Alas! You're just saying the wrong thing!

Kindness is not rewarded, if it weren't for the fact that I just saw you a little lost because of the mention of retirement.

You see if I'm going to say that.

This is not my personal business, and the Brazilian Admiralty will naturally be with it when the time comes

You U.S. Department of the Navy to talk about it.

Although I have a say in these matters, it is not up to me to decide.

You don't think you said anything."

Although Fang Lang looked like he had nothing to do with me, General Clarke's heart moved.

Although he retired, he still had a lot of connections with the U.S. Department of the Navy.

Otherwise, he would not have known that Brazil was seeking to purchase an aircraft carrier from the Admiralty.

As early as the Pacific Theater, General Clark had already discovered Fang Lang's interest in aircraft carriers.

At that time, the relationship between the United States and Brazil was good, but out of consideration for the interests of the Americas and the relationship between the Brazilian government and the United States at that time, did not reach the current level.

Therefore, it was impossible for General Clark to teach Fang Lang relevant knowledge privately at that time.

However, unlike in the past, the Brazilian government is now truly pro-American, and the U.S. government must show strong support for the pro-American government.

At the same time, with the end of the war, the US military needs to be reduced on a large scale, and military spending has also been greatly reduced, and all kinds of equipment in the US army also need to be retired from active service.

From these two considerations, the US Congress also agreed to sell aircraft carriers to the Brazilian Navy.

Now that the aircraft carriers have agreed to be sold, it is definitely necessary to train the Brazilian Navy, and at this time, if Fang Lang can persuade the Brazilian Admiralty to agree to let him enter the Brazilian aircraft carrier fleet as an adviser for guidance.

Wouldn't it be possible to experience commanding the naval fleet again?

As for whether the fleet belongs to the US Navy or not, what does it matter?

Thinking of this, General Clark could no longer control the desire in his heart to return to the aircraft carrier fleet.

"That Fang, is this idea you just said serious?"

When Fang Lang heard General Clark's twisted tone, how could he not understand his thoughts, and said directly without thinking about it:

"Thoughts? What's the idea? I don't have an idea!"

This made General Clark angry enough, and he kept cursing in his heart that this bastard was really not a good thing,

Now it's okay, he actually caught a sore foot.

Clearing his throat, General Clark said in a calm tone:

"Fang, let's stop beating around the bush, tell me your purpose! If I can help, I will not refuse."

This meaning has been expressed very clearly, and everyone can talk about the conditions openly.

If you have any requirements, just say them and listen to them, and if you can do it, you will never refuse, otherwise you can't help it.

It's a pity that Fang Lang has already figured it out at this time, and it is better to go directly to Vice Admiral Chambers of the United States Navy who he met through Commodore Jackson through the retired rear admiral in front of him, and it is better to go directly to the United States Vice Admiral Chambers who he met through Commodore Jackson in Italy.

Sometimes a simple relationship of interests or a simple political position is better handled and simpler than such a simple emotional relationship.

Therefore, Fang Lang simply laid out the carriage and horse path with General Clark:

"Uncle, if it's about work, I think I should go to General Chambers or Brigadier General Jackson, at least they're not retired, are they?

Or simply go through normal working procedures and have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Navy Department liaise directly with the relevant departments of the U.S. government, after all, I am only a small Navy colonel.

The Brazilian Navy is not my personal army, and I have no reason to use my personal connections for the benefit of the Brazilian Navy, do I?"
