One hundred dollars is a lot of income in this era. Fang Lang's words shocked de la Torre speechless, because as a first mate, he could also get some respect from the crew, on average every month It can be about thirty US dollars, but now Fang Lang said that as long as he does his job conscientiously, he can get an additional one hundred US dollars monthly allowance.
This kind of thing is simply a fantasy in the Brazilian army. All subordinates pay filial piety to their superiors. When did the superiors start giving private allowances to their subordinates?
De La Torre looked at Fang Lang blankly for a while, then swallowed and said, "Mr. Captain, I listen to you."
Fang Lang saw de la Torre's expression and said calmly: "Go back first! You will see my promise soon!"
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the Navy Colonel's office. De La Torre's words reminded Fang Lang that although he had the support of Americans, if he wanted to make a name for himself in the Brazilian army, he must live up to his standards! After all, he is now a man with the ability to make money.
Fang Lang first went to the warehouse to get two cigarettes, took out the cigarettes inside, stuffed some American souvenirs into them, and then strode to the office of Colonel Attilio Parisi, commander of the Brazilian Navy.
Because he still doesn't know who is under his jurisdiction. It may be because of direct arrangements by the Americans. As a small second lieutenant officer, Fang Lang's work is actually arranged directly by the Navy Commander. This is also good, you can find the biggest boss directly without having to make a difference to the middleman, and the cost you pay is lower.
"Report! Ensign Fang Lang, I have something to report to you!" Fang Lang held a small satchel in his hand and knocked on the door of Colonel Attilio Parisi's office.
"Come in, Second Lieutenant Fang, didn't you just leave? Why are you back so soon? Is there something wrong?" Mr. Colonel looked at Fang Lang with a puzzled look.
"Sir, this is my first time reporting to you. I was careless and accidentally trampled a flower at your door. I am here to apologize to you!" Fang Lang looked serious.
Colonel Attilio Parisi was a little confused. What did it mean that he had a bad memory? Since when have there been flowers and plants at the door?
"Did you remember wrongly? There are no flowers at the door of my office!"
"Sir, that's because after I stepped on it, I was afraid of your punishment, so I threw it away. To express my apology, I brought some American souvenirs over, hoping to make up for your loss." Take out the prepared gift and put it on Mr. Colonel’s desk.
The colonel saw Fang Lang put a cigarette on the table and finally realized what Fang Lang meant. I took a look at the opened cigarette box and thought to myself, what do you mean by looking down on someone! Am I a person who lacks cigarettes? And it's still unsealed.
"Okay! I understand. There is no need to come here to apologize for this little thing. It is more important to seize the time to go back and get familiar with your team."
Seeing that the colonel did not open the cigarette case to see what was inside, Fang Lang was worried that if the colonel gave it to someone else, wouldn't he be performing for the blind man? He quickly said: "Sir, I hope you won't dislike the souvenirs I gave you. This kind of souvenirs need to be smoked one by one. If you smoke them one by one, you will be very sad."
Fang Lang's words troubled Mr. Colonel again. Why do you want me to teach you how to smoke? You have to smoke one piece at a time, not one cigarette at a time. He picked up the cigarette and looked at the place where it was opened. His pupils shrank and he quickly covered the cigarette box with his hand.
Turning to look at Fang Lang's expression, it was a wonderful expression, one that included shock, embarrassment, blame, worry, doubt, and happiness. The expression on his face kept changing, and after a while he laughed and said: "Fang, isn't it just a flower? Is it worth making a special trip for you? Come and sit down first, drink a cup of coffee, there is no need to worry about work. Be urgent, we still have plenty of time.”
"Sir, I am very grateful for your generosity. Your work is so busy, so I don't want to disturb you too much. Before our fleet sets off, I will come to you again to report. If you need to bring anything for your family in Brazil, If you have something, please be sure to notify me, I will come to pick it up right away and send it back to your home personally." Fang Lang saw that his gift had been delivered and Mr. Colonel had accepted it, so he no longer hesitated and prepared to visit Next sir.
Colonel Attilio Parisi also wanted to see how many local specialties there were, so he stopped trying to persuade Fang Lang to stay: "Okay! Go back and work hard, and good news will come soon!"
Mr. Colonel's words made Fang Lang a little confused about what good news he could get from the military camp report he had just reported. Without any hesitation, he said "Goodbye, sir." and left the colonel's office.
The office of Lieutenant Colonel Graham of the Logistics Department was near the storage area. Since I had never been there before, I had to ask around a few times before I found the place.
After knocking on the office door, it took a while for a woman to respond: "Who is it?"
"Is this Lieutenant Colonel Graham's office? My name is Lieutenant Fang Lang. I have something to report to my superior!" Then I heard a rustling sound inside, and a charming white woman opened the door. He walked out, gave Fang Lang a wink, then twisted his butt and walked away.
Fang Lang thought to himself, he came at the wrong time and disturbed the chief's business. Will he be put in a bad position? I don’t know if it’s too late to turn around and leave now. Just when Fang Lang was still thinking about whether to leave, Lieutenant Colonel Graham's voice came from the room: "Please come in!"
Listening to the emotionless voice coming from inside, Fang Lang was so embarrassed that he could dig out two rooms and one living room on the ground with his toes. But since I had already reported my name, I had no choice but to push the door open and go in.
"Sir, when you came out of Mr. Colonel's office just now, you left something behind. I brought it to you!"
The room was very warm, and there was also the smell of women's inferior perfume, and a special smell. Fang Lang knew what it smelled like, so he felt a little nauseous.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Graham seemed unconcerned. While slowly putting on a military uniform that did not fit particularly well on his fat body, he turned to Fang Lang and said, "There is something left behind. What?" Something!”
Fang Lang didn't waste any time and put the cigarette case directly on the table in front of Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. The lieutenant colonel picked it up casually and looked at the opened seal. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile began to appear on his oily and sweaty face.
"Haha...Thank you, Second Lieutenant Fang, for your hard trip. This is indeed my thing, and it is very valuable. Second Lieutenant Fang, please see if there is anything you need my help with. I must express my gratitude." Affection."
Fang Lang didn't expect that Lieutenant Colonel Graham would actually do things for a fee, which made Fang Lang's original dislike of him fade a lot.
After thinking about it, I didn't seem to have anything that needed his help. The reason for sending souvenirs this time was actually because he only knew these two officers in the Brazilian army. Let's light up the cold stove and say hello. I hope I can think of myself when good things happen in the future. In fact, Fang Lang felt that the souvenirs sent out this time were not much. The colonel was only four thousand US dollars, and the person in front of him was only three thousand US dollars.
Suddenly an idea flashed and he said: "Sir, I don't need your help for anything! You told me this morning that we are mainly responsible for transporting trophies back to the country, but don't you know that you have a lot of trophies here!"
"That must be a lot! It's a pity that our transportation capacity is not enough, and the shipping route is not safe. Alas! This is what worries me the most. Now you are the only transport ship, and I don't know when it will be shipped!" Fang Lang The question clearly touched Lieutenant Colonel Graham's sore spot.
"Is that so? Maybe I can provide you with some help!"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Lieutenant Colonel Graham beamed with joy and said: "Second Lieutenant Fang, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly. If you can solve this big problem of mine, I will definitely apply to the commander for you." Promotion reward.”
Fang Lang quickly said in surprise: "Sir, do you really mean what you said?"
"I will never break my promise!" Lieutenant Colonel Graham promised with a serious face.
