Chapter 270: Aircraft Carrier
The only uncoordinated figure in the greeting group was Colonel Valdo Granma, commander of the Marine Corps.
Because he didn't understand the situation when he first came, he was beaten by Fang Lang with a combination of punches and thrown into the Marine Corps to participate in basic training.
It almost didn't kill him, and after returning home after the first day of training, he already realized that he was being tricked.
However, at this point, they have all participated in the training, and they quit halfway, which is obviously even more inappropriate, and may make their image in the whole army plummet.
He can't convince the public at all, and if the military commander can't convince the public, then his career as a leader will come to an end.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and hold on, and today the chief of staff, de la Torre, informed him of the airport to pick him up, but he was overjoyed.
It's not that he misses Fang Lang much, or how worried he is about Fang Lang's attack.
Mainly, you can take the opportunity to rest.
After Fang Lang finished greeting everyone else, he boarded the car and went to the headquarters of the First Fleet.
In the car, Fang Lang asked the chief of staff, De la Torre:
"Have all the crew arrived safely?"
"Yes, boss.
The crew has arrived at Norfolk Naval Base on the East Coast of the United States as originally planned, just waiting for us to complete the formalities and be ready to take over our new aircraft carrier."
De la Torre answered his chief's question crisply.
"Then let's get ready, and set off for the United States as originally planned to pick up our first aircraft carrier."
At this moment, Fang Lang is actually looking forward to it very much, after all, this is an aircraft carrier!
Although it is not as advanced as the aircraft carriers of later generations, it is also a big toy in the hearts of many boys.
There should be few men who have never dreamed of commanding such a big guy to gallop across the ocean!
Fang Lang admits that battleships are also cool, but in the end, battleships can't keep up with the times.
Future wars require air supremacy, and the navy's air supremacy needs aircraft carriers to guarantee it.
At the same time, it is also a seed to accumulate aircraft carrier talents and understand the aircraft carrier structure.
Designers in their own shipyards can also get some inspiration from this big guy to prepare for their own shipyards to undertake aircraft carrier orders in the future.
"But, sir, don't you need a break?"
De la Torre asked, a little worried.
Fang Lang looked at De La Torre's somewhat worried expression and smiled:
"I don't need to rest, and I'm not hurt.
It's the soldiers of the guard platoon who want to give them a vacation, and this time go to the United States to draw a platoon from the Marine Corps to serve as a guard!"
De la Torre knew that what Fang Lang decided only needed to be carried out.
Looking at Fang Lang's appearance, he should not have been affected by anything, after all, Fang Lang is an army soldier who has participated in the European War, and he must be used to seeing scenes of life and death.
"Good boss. Lieutenant Sirio Reich, waiting for you in your office, saying that I have something to report to you."
Hearing de la Torre's words, Fang Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled a little like a fox.
I knew in my heart that what I had arranged for him to do had already been done.
He nodded and did not speak again.
De la Torre would not take the initiative to ask Fang Lang, after all, what he needed to know, Fang Lang would never hide it from him.
Don't listen to what the chief doesn't say, that's where della Torre is smart.
There was nothing to say all the way, and as soon as Fang Lang arrived at the door of his office, he saw Lieutenant Sirio Leitch of the Second Section of the Logistics Department sitting in the waiting area outside the office.
Still holding a document bag in his hand, when he saw Fang Lang coming back, he hurriedly got up and saluted:
"Hello sir!"
Fang Lang smiled and waved his hand at the office and said:
"Let's go in and talk."
After speaking, he directly stepped forward and pushed open the door of his office.
Sirio S.
Lieutenant Lei Qi followed closely and walked in, and Qi Qingshan, who was following behind, immediately closed the office door from the outside.
Fang Lang, who entered the office, went directly to the desk, and said to Lieutenant Sirio Leitch very casually:
"Show me the information, pour what you want to drink! By the way, pour me a cup of black tea."
Seeing Fang Lang's attitude, Lieutenant Sirio Leitch smiled and was not polite, put the document bag in his hand on the desk with both hands, and pushed it in front of Fang Lang.
turned around and began to go to the tea area to prepare tea for Fang Lang.
Fang Lang opened the file bag, and saw several files with a photo of a woman with a look of twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a dress, with a graceful figure, and a big wave was very eye-catching.
It can also be seen from the black and white photos that this is a gorgeous and moving beauty.
"Huh. No wonder, this can be regarded as a hero sad beauty pass!"
Lieutenant Sirio Reich turned back to Fang Lang and said:
"Yes, boss. I've seen myself, and it's more beautiful than in the photos.
A big golden wave, and few men can refuse."
Fang Lang looked up and smiled at Lieutenant Sirio Reich and smiled:
"Why, you like big waves too?"
Lieutenant Sirio Leitch looked at the chief's somewhat strange expression, and didn't quite understand what Fang Lang meant.
But he still smiled and said:
"Boss, didn't you teach us to learn to appreciate all that is good?
Don't you like big waves?"
The happiness between men is sometimes very simple, Fang Lang knew that Lieutenant Sirio Leitch didn't really understand the meaning of his words, but he still couldn't help laughing.
"Haha. Lieutenant Sirio Leitch, I like your candor.
I don't think anyone can say no to a blonde beauty with big waves, can they?"
Smiling, he began to look at the materials on the file, and found nothing out of the ordinary.
continued to open it back, and while Fang Lang was checking, Lieutenant Sirio Leitch picked up a cup of black tea and put it in Fang Lang's hand.
Then he stood quietly across the desk, waiting for Fang Lang to finish reading the information.
Fang Lang looked up and saw that Lieutenant Sirio Leitch had not prepared a drink for himself.
Asked:
"Why don't you pour yourself a glass?"
Lieutenant Sirio Leitch knew that Fang Lang was not polite to him, but really regarded himself as his own.
So, let yourself be a little casual.
But he couldn't really just prepare tea for himself in the chief's office.
Shook his head with a smile and said:
"I've had two cups of coffee outside."
Hearing the other party's answer, Fang Lang did not continue to dwell on this trivial matter, and asked:
"Are people still in the United States?"
"Yes, we were just watching from afar, and we didn't make contact with him.
If you agree, we can always bring them back to Natal."
"Is her side clean?"
"As of now, we don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I haven't seen her come into contact with anyone suspected of being an intelligence agent."
"I know, I'll visit the United States in person this time."
As he spoke, Fang Lang put the materials back into the file bag and handed them to Lieutenant Sirio Leitch.
The lieutenant took the aisle with both hands:
"Understood, then I'll go down and arrange it first."
Fang Lang nodded, took a sip of the black tea on the table, and his eyes became a little deep.
Lieutenant Sirio Reich saluted and turned to leave.
After a short rest in Natal, Fang Lang and his entourage took a special plane to Norfolk, the naval base on the east coast of the United States.
Because of General Clark's operation, this arms purchase has become a purely commercial act, so the US Navy has not arranged personnel
Docking.
Instead, the staff of Shata Company arranged vehicles to send everyone directly to the naval base.
Looking through the car window at the aircraft carrier that is about to belong to you is a completely different feeling from looking at someone else's aircraft carrier.
The vehicle was parked on the side of the aircraft carrier and looked very small, and after the vehicle stopped, Fang Lang directly pushed the door and got out of the car.
Can't wait to look up at the behemoth around him.
A long line of vehicles followed by stopped, and after the soldiers jumped out of the back of the truck, they also looked up one after another, and couldn't help but sigh.
Without personal experience, I really can't understand everyone's mood at the moment.
General Clark patted Fang Lang's arm and said:
"Didn't you kid never go on an aircraft carrier, as for making such a fuss?"
Fang Lang didn't look back:
"You don't understand, the original aircraft carrier was yours, but now this one is mine.
It's a completely different feeling."
Clark looked at Fang Lang's saliva and said with a smile:
"What can be different, aren't they all the same warships?"
"Can you see that someone else's woman is beautiful in a photo the same way you feel when you own this beautiful woman?"
Fang Lang's words made the old man Clark on the side almost vomit blood in anger, is there such a description?
However, when I thought about the first time I took over my aircraft carrier, I was just as excited, so I shook my head and didn't say anything.
Finally came back to his senses, Fang Lang glanced at the chaotic team behind him, frowned, coughed heavily, and the deputy captain reacted and hurriedly blew the assembly whistle.
Only then did the fighters react and began to stand in line to assemble.
Turning his head, Fang Lang saw three people coming up and down the ramp of the aircraft carrier, led by Jefferson, the general manager of Shata Company.
Fang Lang smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with each other, hugged each other, and greeted each other.
"Boss, this big guy is in very good condition, I just arranged for the navy to do an in-depth maintenance, we have inspected the goods, and all the equipment is running normally.
No equipment has been dismantled, and it is ready for battle."
Jefferson also admired Fang Lang's relationship with the U.S. Navy and was able to persuade the Navy to resolve this matter so quickly.
"Well, are there any other documents that I need to sign?"
Fang Lang was very satisfied with the big guy in front of him at the moment, after all, this was the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world at the moment.
"There is no rush in the documents, most of the documents have already been signed with the people from the Brazilian Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Logistics and Equipment.
Just wait for you to sign the acceptance documents."
"In other words, as long as we pass the acceptance and sign the documents, this aircraft carrier belongs to the Brazilian Navy, right?"
"Yes, boss!"
"So what are you waiting for?"
Fang Lang smiled and turned his head to the officers of the newly formed aircraft carrier and said:
"We're on board and we're going to accept it."
The crowd agreed.
"Yes, sir."
Then all the soldiers, led by their respective commanders and American advisers, boarded the Essex-class aircraft carrier, which is currently the most advanced in the world.
Because most of the US military advisers originally served on the aircraft carrier Tarawa, they are very familiar with the condition of the aircraft carrier.
After everyone boarded the aircraft carrier, Fang Lang visited the aircraft carrier of his own accompanied by Jefferson.
