Chapter 243: Back to the furnace
Every word Fang Lang said was righteous and strict, so that Colonel Valdo Grama could not refute it.
even stripped off his arrogant coat and let him swim naked.
Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Mr. Colonel mustered up the last courage and said:
"I'm a colonel, how can I train with ordinary GIs?"
"What's wrong with the Colonel, I'm also a Colonel, and it's not every day that I'm being trained by the U.S. Army Advisory Corps."
Fang Lang directly shattered the other party's hope of struggling at the end.
Of course, Fang Lang secretly changed his concept here, his own so-called training, and the training arranged for the other party are fundamentally different things.
But at this moment, Colonel Valdo Granma, who had been shocked by Fang Lang's momentum, had not reacted for a while.
Just when Mr. Colonel wanted to resist, the four Marine battalion commanders who had been recruited from the training ground had already been ordered to come.
"Good morning, sir!"
The four battalion commanders, dressed in training uniforms, were covered in mud and had obviously been dragged directly from the training ground.
Colonel Valdo Granma frowned when he saw the state of these men.
Fang Lang nodded with a smile on his face and said:
"What, is the training hard?"
Duarte glanced at the officer standing on the side, wearing a colonel's uniform, and knew that this was the Marine Corps commander who had been shoehorned in from above.
The vigilance in his eyes flickered.
After hearing Fang Lang's question, one stood up and saluted:
"Report, sir! It's not hard.
This intensity can be increased for us veterans.
But many of the new soldiers in the camp are already a little unbearable."
Fang Lang knew that Duarte was telling the truth, and the first batch of marines who followed Fang Lang had received some superficial special forces tactical training from Fang Lang.
After entering this naval base, the training of the fighters has not stopped.
Therefore, both in terms of physical fitness and quality, it must be far higher than the 2,000 newly assigned recruits.
"Since you still have the energy to spare, let's train yourself.
I hope that in the final selection stage, the veterans will not let me down."
The four battalion commanders raised their heads and shouted in unison:
"Yes, sir."
This loud shout frightened Colonel Waldo Granma, who was looking at several people, and almost jumped.
Fang Lang was very satisfied with the performance of several people.
"Rest a minute, I called you here today to introduce you.
This is Colonel Valdo Granma, the commander of the Marine Corps appointed by the Ministry of Defense.
Starting this afternoon, he's going to join your team in training.
I hope that you will follow his example, set high standards for yourself, and train hard and seriously.
Considering the older age of Mr. Colonel, his physical fitness may be poor. In training, you have to be of great help to your superiors.
It is necessary to ensure that the Admiralty inspection after six months is fully up to standard.
There is no faith?"
Fang Lang's way of speaking was completely different from the way Colonel Waldo Granma had been contacted.
Hearing that the other party wanted everyone to help themselves more in training, his face became bitter.
It's really going to kill you.
Where is this helping! It's just overseer!
But in the end, the other party said to make sure that he passed the test of the Admiralty, so that he began to comfort himself, maybe the other party did not mean to target me.
Rather, it was to fulfill the requirements of the Admiralty.
The four battalion commanders didn't expect that Fang Lang would clean up this new commander and let him train with everyone.
His heart was full of joy, and his eyes at the new chief were filled with a hint of banter.
However, the instinct after strict training still made them shout in unison again:
"Yes."
Colonel Valdo Granma, who has always been arrogant and domineering, has not had a good time since he got off the plane yesterday.
The initiative that I wanted to grasp was completely lost before I knew it.
Now I even have to train with ordinary GIs.
When the time comes, if you can't persevere, you will definitely lose face and lose your prestige.
Just as he was thinking about whether there was any way to escape, the four battalion commanders shouted in unison again.
It scared him so much that his legs went limp, and he almost fell.
Fang Lang noticed his strangeness at a glance.
I couldn't help but start recalling the information I had gathered about Colonel Waldo Granma.
Relying on his wife to take the position, he is not brainy, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and domineering, and does not take human life seriously, and is strong.
No matter how you look at these personality traits, you shouldn't be so easily grasped by yourself!
The shouts of the fighters in unison can make the opponent almost unsteady, which does not match the intelligence!
It's not going to be dropped!
Wait, relying on the wife to take the position, and the son-in-law is born, the status in the family should not be high.
was kicked from the Army to the Navy, and he didn't hear of any turmoil in the War Department, or his father-in-law's influence had declined.
Either he was marginalized by his father-in-law.
Reminiscent of his father-in-law being an old-school officer, most of the current powerful factions of the Ministry of Defense are officers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force who participated in the European War.
These people have accepted the so-called democratic ideas in Europe and the United States, will they come into conflict with the old-school ideas?
The answer is yes.
Then, the possibility that his father-in-law's influence is declining is very high, and maybe this appointment is already the last bit of friendship used.
Even if it is not a decline in influence, but a marginalization by his father-in-law.
It only shows that Colonel Valdo Granma is not as confident as he appears.
The psychology of later generations believes that a person will show what he lacks something.
So the toughness shown by this Mr. Colonel, will it be because of this mentality!
Combined with the performance of the other party after being severely reprimanded by himself.
The likelihood of this scenario is very high.
If that's the case, this guy in front of him is a paper tiger at all!
Grandpa Mao really doesn't lie, all imperialism is a paper tiger.
This old boy is now estimated to be a paper tiger with no appearance.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang decided to take a good look at the other party.
Pretending not to see the other party's unbearable performance, he continued to say loudly to the four battalion commanders:
"Please tell me and your new commander out loud, what is the slogan of our training?"
The four battalion commanders reflexively shouted in unison again:
"Blood, sweat and tears,
If you lose your skin and flesh, you won't be left behind."
When Colonel Waldo Granma heard this slogan, he felt that his mouth was a little dry and his face turned pale.
Fang Lang didn't give him a chance to continue thinking, and said loudly to him:
"Colonel Waldo Granma, please tell me out loud if you have the confidence to complete the training mission."
For a moment there was an eerie silence in the office, and all eyes were on Colonel Valdo Granma.
This made Mr. Colonel's head a little dazed, his palms sweated, and his body involuntarily began to tremble slightly.
Seeing his performance, the eyes of the four battalion commanders were playful, mocking, and disdainful.
But Fang Lang was eighty percent sure in his heart, this guy might really be a paper tiger.
The toughness and arrogance shown are all to cover up his lack of confidence.
It seems that the son-in-law of this Minister of War is not easy to be!
If his speculation was true, if he really had some ability, Fang Lang wouldn't mind keeping him.
After all, if you understand the real situation of the other party, it is very easy to grasp the other party!
But this guy is actually a straw bag waste who treats human life as a mustard.
Fighting a war only knows how to fill it with human lives.
They were all transferred to the Marine Corps, and they are still holding on to the tank theory they learned in the Army.
Completely unaware of the difference between the Army and the Marine Corps.
It didn't even occur to me to take the initiative to study the tactics of the Marine Corps.
That's not what a straw bale is.
It seems that General Crook has also lost his eyes!
However, there is no hurry to get him away now, his own military rank and qualifications are not enough to get to the top, and then he may invite a new trouble.
Compared to an uncontrollable newcomer, this guy in front of him is obviously more in his own interests.
Coughing lightly, he reminded Colonel Valdo Granma, and Fang Lang's tone softened:
"Colonel Valdo Granma, do you have faith?"
When the four battalion commanders heard Fang Lang's slightly gentle tone, they all felt chills.
Colonel Valdo Granma finally reacted, and hurriedly said with some nervousness:
"Have faith."
Hearing that the other party finally answered his question, Fang Lang smiled with satisfaction.
"If you have faith, then you will go down and get to know each other.
Duarte, you take Mr. Colonel to the logistics department to receive the uniform of the Navy, as an officer of the Marine Corps, what is the matter with always wearing the uniform of the Army.
Colonel Valdo Granma changed into a Navy training uniform in the afternoon and arrived at the training ground on time to report.
Do you understand?"
The four battalion commanders said in unison, but Colonel Valdo Granma seemed to be a little cowering, and he wanted to stop talking.
Fang Lang ignored him, but picked up the documents on the table and read them.
Seeing this, Colonel Valdo Granma knew it was time for him to leave.
He could only follow the battalion commander out of Fang Lang's office.
And took the initiative to close the door.
What Mr. Colonel didn't know was that the document Fang Lang was looking at was exactly the background information about the colonel.
Including every word that Mr. Colonel said after coming out of the airport yesterday, it is recorded in detail.
Fang Lang focused on the intelligence officer's description of the interaction and conversation between the colonel and his wife.
Judging from the content described in this document, the relationship between the colonel and his wife is still very good, and even Mr. Colonel has a few manifestations of spoiling his wife.
As for whether these are real or performances, we have to wait for the confirmation of the intelligence services.
Fang Lang can't be blamed for being too cautious, it's really that the position of the commander of the Marine Corps is too important.
Although there is a speculation about his performance today, speculation is speculation in the end, and speculation without verification is utopian.
Picked up the phone and called the second section of the logistics office again.
Soon Lieutenant Sirio Reich came to Fang Lang's office, and Fang Lang told the other party what he had discovered today and his own conjectures.
Lieutenant Sirio Leitch didn't expect Fang Lang to come to such an unbelievable conclusion.
After a moment of silence, Lieutenant Sirio Reich said:
"Sir, it's very easy to confirm this situation, we just need to have someone go to Rio de Janeiro to find out if the attitude of the former Secretary of War towards his son-in-law is really as the Commander suspected.
Or Mr. Secretary of the Army's influence now, is it true that it has declined.
However, the identity of the other party may not be suitable for colleagues from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency to investigate.
If you don't get it right, you might attract the attention of others.
If not! I'm going to Rio de Janeiro today."
Fang Lang understood that what Lieutenant Sirio Reich said was right, and if he wanted to confirm this speculation, he only needed to investigate the situation of Mr. Colonel's father-in-law.
But the other party's body
It is too sensitive, and if this guess is wrong, it can lead to serious consequences.
