Fang Lang smiled and patted every soldier around him, then came to the sonar soldier and patted him on the shoulder:
"LaRue Cabrera, right? I thought your name was Cabrera!"
The sonar soldier obviously didn't expect that the captain would remember his name. He was recruited from other warships by De La Torre. He had no background and no chance of promotion. He had worked under De La Torre before.
So after de la Torre told him Fang Lang's rules, he chose to agree to be transferred over without hesitation. Before coming over, Fang Lang had only met him once during the interview, and he could call him accurately without thinking. His name made him very excited, and he quickly stood up and said:
"Yes sir, my name is Cabrera."
Fang Lang smiled and stretched out his hand, shook it with the other person's, and held the other person's right arm with his left hand and said:
"Well done Cabrera, you are an excellent sonar soldier."
At this time, the sonar soldier's face was red with excitement and his voice was trembling:
"Sir, thank you for believing in me! You led us to victory!"
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Young man, be more confident. You are my soldier. Of course I believe in you. Come on! I am very optimistic about you!"
In fact, the Cabrera in front of him was five or six years older than Fang Lang, but at this time, no one thought there was anything wrong with Fang Lang's title of young man.
Fang Lang returned to the bridge with a smile and said to the first mate: "Okay, the first mate will take command next. I'm going to take a rest. If you need anything, just call me."
The first mate of the House was Amar Reina, the original chief engineer of the transport ship. After hearing Fang Lang's order, Reina stood at attention and said loudly:
"Yes, boss. Attention all personnel, the captain is resting. Now I am in command."
I had been nervously directing the battle just now and didn't feel the cold. Now I relaxed and suddenly felt a chill coming over me. I realized that my back was completely soaked with sweat.
Fortunately, he was wearing two pieces of clothing, otherwise if everyone could see his soaked back, his tall image would not be able to stand up! Fang Lang walked towards his captain's cabin as the ship swayed. People kept greeting him on the way, and he nodded in response.
After finally returning to the captain's room, he excitedly waved his fist, his face full of excitement, which was completely different from the cold image he had just now. It took two or three minutes to calm down completely, and he quickly changed out of his soaked clothes.
Commanding a battle is indeed very energy-consuming. After relaxing, Fang Lang lay on the bed and wondered whether he had just discovered the enemy ship based on his analytical ability or his sixth sense!
After much deliberation, there was no answer. Finally, the waves shook Fang Lang into sleep without even realizing it.
The next day and night were spent in calm conditions. On the fourth night after the fleet left the protection of the US Air Force, light rain began to fall in the sky. The temperature, which was not high, dropped to about five degrees. Standing outside the bridge The soldiers will feel their whole bodies trembling when they are blown by the cold wind mixed with rain.
After dinner, Fang Lang was inspecting the safety of the equipment on the warship outside the ship, and from time to time he chatted with the soldiers standing on duty in the wind and rain.
Suddenly I heard a call coming from the warship's internal communicator:
"The bridge is calling Captain, please come to the bridge, over!"
Fang Lang glanced at the dark night, and his heart sank. Knowing that he would definitely have to face the German submarine again, he walked quickly to the bridge. Soon they arrived at the bridge. As soon as the second officer on duty saw Fang Lang, he immediately reported loudly:
"Sir, news just came from the escort command ship Callaghan. The Thor on the right side of the escort fleet intercepted German communications. We were discovered by a German submarine. It is expected that the German submarine will set up an ambush in the K area. The Thor has already gone to pursue it. This German submarine has been spotted. The command ship has named us and we will be more vigilant."
"Oh! Area K, it looks like we won't be able to sleep tonight! Everyone, take the time to rest. You continue to command from above, and I'll go to the war situation center to take a look."
Fang Lang thought that the German army was on the decline and would not be able to bounce back for a few days. Unexpectedly, German submarines were still very active on the Atlantic route!
Shaking his head, he put down the irrelevant things in his mind and walked into the war center. At this moment, everyone in the war situation center has obviously received the notification. The radar has already been turned on. Although it is relatively busy, everyone is not panicking.
Patting de la Torre on the shoulder, Fang Lang said:
"Lao De, haven't you been on duty during the day? Why are you still here now! Go and rest for a while, and then come back when the battle starts. If you don't rest, you won't have the energy to fight."
De La Torre shook his head helplessly and said:
"Boss, I want to rest too! But we are all novices after all. This combat situation center is too advanced, and all of them are equipment that we have never been exposed to before. I am afraid that I will fall asleep later. If you ask me to sleep now, I will sleep too. Can’t catch it!”
Fang Lang smiled and comforted de la Torre and said:
"We have to believe in our brothers. Everyone has been trained. Besides, even if these equipments don't work, won't we know how to fight? Don't worry! The German devils can't even think of attacking the fleet under our protection."
Just when Fang Lang wanted to chat with De La Torre a few more words, the fleet radio rang, saying it was a communication from the Harry, and asked Fang Lang to answer it. Fang Lang was also speechless. In the battle the day before yesterday, the Harry had gained nothing. After being beaten in the face, Fang Lang thought that Reinhardt would calm down a little. Unexpectedly, in the past two days, it started to get worse.
He constantly asked the House to obey his command, which made not only Fang Lang very unhappy, but also the crew of the House.
The army is a very special group. As long as you can lead everyone to victory, everyone will obey your command. But if you can't win by following me, then everything you say is nonsense.
Fang Lang knew that Reinhardt must be very unhappy that Fang Lang could kill the German U-boat. But as a soldier, war is not a game, it is not about winning or losing, but a matter of life and death.
Fang Lang feels that he is a mature person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, so Fang Lang just smiles at Reinhardt's boring behavior, as if it is an annoying mosquito in your ear. The buzzing cry may suck a lot of blood from your body, but it won't cause you much harm.
Of course, if given the chance, Fang Lang would never mind, giving him an unforgettable memory and letting him know why the flowers are so red. Smiling and shaking his head, Fang Lang returned to the bridge and picked up the communicator and said:
"Harry, I'm Fang Lang from House. Please tell me when I get it. Over!"
Reinhardt's voice immediately sounded on your communicator:
"House, I am commanding Reinhardt on the left side. We will arrive at Area K in two hours. In order to prevent the radar system from running for too long and causing an overheating reaction, our ship will turn on the radar in two hours. Please make sure your ship's radar is on. If you find any abnormality, please report it to our ship as soon as possible. Over!"
When Fang Lang heard this, he said, "Fuck you, you really treat yourself like a green onion." You are afraid that your radar will overheat, but aren't you afraid that my radar will overheat? When the fight starts, you can turn on the radar the whole time. What should I do? This mother is really selfish to the point of being selfish!
If it's other trivial matters, Fang Lang doesn't bother to care about them and just pretends to be deaf and dumb. But for things like this that are related to his own safety, if he wants to sacrifice himself to fulfill you, then you are overthinking it.
"Harry, this is the House. The relay of our ship's radar system has overheated and is undergoing maintenance. It cannot be turned on now. The specific start-up time cannot be determined. Please inform our ship of the enemy situation after discovering the target."
Fang Lang would not directly break up with him, and the upcoming battle would not allow it, so he found an excuse for equipment failure and directly rejected his request.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his request. It is indeed a realistic situation. A fairer approach should be that everyone can take turns to turn on the computer, allocate time, and ensure that they are not offline.
But, good guy, you directly stated that you want to rest throughout the whole process to deal with the upcoming fierce battle, so others don’t have to fight? We are all on the same front. If there is something wrong with my radar, I will definitely not be the only one who will suffer losses.
Reinhardt on the Harry was furious when he heard Fang Lang's answer:
"Damn Brazilian bastard, do you think that having a kill record means you are great? How dare you not take my orders seriously, I will definitely make you look good."
