Chapter 240: One Blow
After hearing the words of this second lieutenant Albertu Deere, Colonel Valdo Granma said with disdain on his face:
"A little lieutenant wants to be my lieutenant, what good are you thinking!
I have my own adjutant and I don't need anyone else to arrange it for me.
Take us back to our accommodation."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod his head again and again:
"Yes, sir, please come with me, the car is ahead."
Colonel Valdo Granma didn't say much, turned to the delicate beauty and said:
"These damn navy fishermen really don't know how to do anything about etiquette.
When I was the commander of the army, the colonel named Fang Lang was just an infantry cannon fodder!
When the old superiors arrived, they didn't even come to greet them, which is really uneducated."
The delicate woman wore a small white hat in her hair, and a white ornament in the shape of a fishnet hung from the brim.
It looks very elegant.
After hearing his man's words, he didn't forget to cover his nose and frowned slightly:
"No wonder I smell a faint smell of fish, they are all fishermen.
You'd better arrange for someone to clean up our house, and if I smell this fish every day in the future, I'll throw up."
Colonel Valdo Granma smiled and said:
"Don't worry! Tomorrow I will organize all the people to clean up the neighborhood properly.
Let these damn fishermen enter civilized society in advance and experience it."
After hearing his words, Madame smiled with satisfaction, turned her head to look at the soldiers with luggage behind her, and scolded:
"Be careful, these suitcases are valuable.
You, you, you're talking about you, how can you put your suitcase on the ground?
If it's dirty, you'll lick it clean for me."
Several soldiers behind him were frightened, and hurriedly raised the suitcase that had not landed on the ground by a few points.
The husband and wife didn't notice, and the faces of the people who came to greet them began to look ugly.
Ensign Albertu Dill was even more cold, and looked at several soldiers carrying luggage, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Under the guidance of Second Lieutenant Albert Diere, the group came to a row of Willis jeeps parked next to the runway.
Before he could invite everyone to get into the car, Colonel Valdo Granma frowned and said:
"Why are they all military jeeps, and there are no high-ranking officers' cars?"
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill hurriedly stepped forward and explained:
"Sir, the vehicles at our naval base are trucks except jeeps, and there are no cars for senior officers."
"Honey, this is not going to work, you have to hurry up and ask the logistics department to buy two cars.
Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient for me and my children to go out.
This jeep is leaking everywhere, and I don't know how much ash it will eat!"
Mrs. Granma's delicate voice sounded in the back.
Colonel Valdo Granma hurriedly said with a smile on his face:
"Don't worry! When I apply for the purchase of tank equipment, I will purchase two cars by the way, so as to ensure that you and the children will not be exposed to the wind or rain.
Now I will grieve my dear, and go back to my lodgings in this broken jeep."
After speaking, he looked at the back seat of the jeep, obviously feeling unhygienic, and said to Ensign Albert Deere:
"Don't you usually have maintenance on your vehicles? Let's see how dirty this seat is, and find something to cushion."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it didn't make sense!
I just did it before the reception, why is it dirty? Could it be that his subordinates are lazy?
You must know that Fang Lang's requirements for the health standards of the army are very strict, whether it is the warship or the environment in the base, the maintenance requirements for ordnance equipment are very strict.
All places are cleaned at least twice a day, and the gendarmes inspect every day if the white gloves of the gendarmes get dirty in that area.
The consequences are very serious, not only for the person in charge of this health area, but also for the three levels of direct command above him to be reviewed.
And, it affects everyone's allowances.
This can't blame Fang Lang's perverted request, it is really an army with so many people living together, and if you are not careful, it may cause infectious diseases.
Therefore, Fang Lang can't be cautious if he wants to.
In addition to strict requirements for hygiene, Fang Lang's requirements for the appearance of the army are also very strict, I remember that in my previous life, when I was studying and participating in military training, the instructor taught everyone to fold tofu blocks.
Fang Lang also wants to promote it in the First Fleet, but because his fleet has been stationed in the tropics for a long time, there is no opportunity to use quilts at all, so he can only ask everyone to tidy up the bed.
It looked very pleasing to the eye, and at first the officers and men of the First Fleet complained, but after a long time, everyone found out about such benefits.
In addition, Fang Lang has formulated a strict reward and punishment system, and everyone has slowly developed a good habit of hygiene for the sake of their own honor and their own allowance.
Therefore, when Ensign Albertu Dill heard that his subordinates were unhygienic, his face changed, and the soldiers around him also changed color.
And the driver of the car quickly turned his head and looked at the place pointed by Colonel Valdo Granma.
But no matter how you look at it, you can't find anything dirty!
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill even reached out and touched the seat and floor, but he didn't see a trace of dust!
It stands to reason that this kind of jeep without doors should have some dust after driving for a while. But Natal as a seaside city.
In addition, there is no industrial base nearby that can pollute the environment, and the air quality is still very good, as long as the car is not driven on the dirt road outside the barracks, the car will basically not get dirty.
Seeing his clean palms, Ensign Albert Dill still didn't understand that the other party hadn't found any hygienic corners at all, and it was clear that he was picking on thorns.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he said with a smile:
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll find a blanket for you right now."
But Colonel Valdo Granma shook his head with a dark face and said:
"Now that the sun is so big, go find some blankets, and you take off your military uniforms and put them on."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill looked at his own Navy uniform, and then at the other party's Army uniform, and had some speculation in his heart.
But no matter what the case may be, he can't accept using his military uniform as a cushion for the other party.
It's not a question of cleanliness at all, it's a question of dignity.
So, the smile on Second Lieutenant Albert Deeer's face finally disappeared, and he said to Colonel Waldo Granma with a serious expression:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, but military uniforms represent the honor of a soldier.
I can't accept the request to use our military uniforms as cushions for your family."
Colonel Valdo Granma apparently did not expect that a petty second lieutenant officer would dare to refuse to carry out his orders.
And it was still in front of his family, which made him unable to get off the stage directly.
The already very gloomy face can be carried out directly by the black.
"Mr. Ensign, do you understand the consequences of disobedience?"
"Report sir, I'm a soldier, I'm not disobeying, I'm defending the dignity of a soldier."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill said without backing down.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to admit that he was disobeying orders.
The soldiers who came to greet this group around were also very ugly at the moment.
The faces of the group of soldiers behind the colonel were numb, and they seemed right
Indifferent to what is happening in front of him.
Colonel Valdo Granma's hand was already uncontrollably touching the pistol pinned to his belt.
However, Second Lieutenant Albert Deere stood in place with a blank face, as if he had not seen the other party's movements, looking at the other party.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, everyone stopped talking and watched as Mr. Colonel prepared to deal with it.
A soft and cute little girl's voice rang out:
"Mom, I'm hungry."
The little girl clearly didn't understand what was happening.
However, his voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Mrs. Granma stepped forward and took the little girl's hand and said:
"Good baby, when you get home, let someone prepare food for you."
Colonel Valdo Granma said with a blue face:
"Mr. Ensign, you've got a life back.
Now send us back and settle down, and then go and take a week of confinement ourselves."
Second Lieutenant Albert Deere said with a blank face:
"Understood, Mr. Colonel."
It's not that Second Lieutenant Albertu Dill is cowardly, but in the Brazilian army at this time, ordinary soldiers have no human rights at all, and you can only obey orders when a superior officer orders you to be a slave or a servant.
Only after becoming an officer can you gradually have certain human rights.
The Brazilian Expeditionary Force, as an army under the command and training of the U.S. military, is relatively Westernized in its thinking, and the servile subordination between officers and soldiers has gradually disappeared.
In addition, at the beginning of the establishment of the First Fleet, Fang Lang attached great importance to the construction of a sense of honor among soldiers, and corrected many bad habits in the Brazilian army.
Not to mention that the officers and men of the First Fleet are equal among officers and soldiers, but it is definitely an exception in the entire Brazilian army.
Take the situation of corruption and bribery in the army, for example, this is a basic operation and a common unspoken rule in other Brazilian troops.
The First Fleet explicitly prohibits the acceptance of bribes from junior officers and prohibits subordinates from offering bribes to their superiors. Both sides will be expelled from the military if they are discovered.
This made many officers and soldiers transferred from other units to the First Fleet very uncomfortable.
Coupled with the allowance given to the whole army by the commander of the First Fleet, it is even more unbelievable to most people.
After all, the current First Fleet is not only two or three kittens, but the full number of aircraft carriers alone has reached more than 3,400 people, and the number of marines has also reached more than 2,500.
Together with the crews of other warships and the logistics personnel of the base, the total number of members of the First Fleet has actually exceeded the 10,000 mark.
With such a huge army, the amount of allowances that Fang Lang has to issue every month is as high as nearly 800,000 US dollars.
The amount of the allowance, in fact, is much higher than the military salary paid by the Brazilian government.
This also caused many officers and men of the First Fleet to call Fang Lang the boss or OSS, rather than the commander.
Because, many people believe in their hearts that Fang Lang is their boss, because Fang Lang sends them money.
Everyone in the First Fleet was told that this allowance was given to everyone by Fang Lang privately.
If someone gets to the bottom of it, then all employees will stop paying this allowance; If you do not perform well, you will be deducted from the allowance; Disobedience to orders or disobedience to Fang Lang's leadership will result in suspension of allowances.
A large part of the functions of Section 2 of the Logistics Service are to monitor the dissemination of this information.
