As Fang Lang said, if he really had a copy of Reinhardt's confession, even if Reinhardt repaid him in the future, he would be reluctant to do so.
Moreover, there is also the worry that Reinhardt will do something drastic in order to get this confession back. Anyway, even if Reinhardt burns the bridge, Fang Lang won't suffer much loss.
It's better to be more open-minded. Although this does not guarantee that Reinhardt will not be worried about this matter in the future, at least he will not be blamed for this matter.
"So I decided to pretend that this matter never happened. I will arrange for someone to send you back to the Harry and withdraw my crew. Also, I will issue a hush order to my crew.
I just completed the mission to rescue the Harry and sank two German submarines. As for what happened on your ship, I don't know anything. How you report what happened to your superiors and how you comfort your crew is your own business. "
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt completely ignored the injury on his leg, got up from the ground and said:
"Fang, are you serious? Didn't you report the discovery of the Harry's anomaly to the command ship earlier?"
Fang Lang smiled and stepped forward to support Reinhardt and said:
"Since the Germans have taken control of the Harry! If I reported to the command ship, wouldn't they also be able to monitor it from the Harry? If so, wouldn't they know that I discovered something unusual about the Harry.
If the trap is discovered, they will definitely attack directly! As a destroyer, I am not sure that I will directly face the siege of two U-boats and a destroyer. "
As he spoke, he patted the arm of Reinhardt, who was obviously shaking with excitement.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Reinhardt trembled all over, and was so excited that he couldn't speak. His face turned red, and tears began to flash in his eyes. He looked at Fang Lang blankly, and after a while, he slapped him in the face. On his own face, he said with a trembling voice:
"Fang, I'm sorry! I have always looked down on you and even discriminated against you. I never thought you could help me like this. I apologize for my arrogance and prejudice. I have discriminated against you because of your skin color. I apologize to you. Apologize.
From today on, you are my savior, Reinhardt. I will prove this kindness with actions. You will never be disappointed. "
Seeing Reinhart's expression, Fang Lang knew that he was serious, but whether it was true or not, Fang Lang no longer cared. Since he decided to take a gamble, he would definitely give the favor to the end.
So after hearing what Reinhardt said, Fang Lang patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, Reinhardt, since I said, I will treat this matter as if it has never happened, and I will do what I say. The problem you have to worry about now is not on my side. I can assure you that in House On the phone, I issued a gag order, so no news will get out.
However, I cannot guarantee whether the personnel on board the Harry will tell the truth. So I suggest you think about how to make the crew of the Harry forget this unpleasant experience! "
Obviously Fang Lang's words hit Reinhardt's pain point. Not many people on the House knew what happened to the Harry, but all the more than 300 people on the Harry were imprisoned by the enemy.
Among them, will there be anyone who is unwilling to surrender? There is no doubt that there must be some, so these personnel will definitely be worried about Reinhardt's order to surrender, and they may bring this matter up when they reach the shore.
In this case, the deal reached by Reinhardt and Fang Lang would inevitably come to nothing. This was something neither of them wanted to see. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Reinhardt decided to send a telegram to his mother as planned.
Fang Lang directly lent the telegraph room to Reinhardt, turned around and started to clean up the matter. First, he reported directly to the command ship that he had successfully completed the rescue mission of the Harry and sunk two German submarines that had set up an ambush.
Because the Harry's stern rudder was damaged and could not continue driving, it needed to be towed by a rescue ship. After Fang Lang's report, he sent Reinhardt, who had already contacted his mother and completed the communication, back to the Harry and picked up Duar. Special et al.
Fortunately, the four people injured on the Harry had minor injuries and were treated promptly by military doctors on the Harry. There were no major problems. But the two sacrificed soldiers really made Fang Lang sad. This was the first casualty among his soldiers since Fang Lang was reborn.
For this reason, Fang Lang hosted a solemn burial ceremony at sea for the two soldiers, and promised in front of all the officers and soldiers on the ship that in addition to the pension from the Brazilian government, he would pay a death allowance of US$10,000 for each of the two soldiers. In recognition of their heroic performance.
All the soldiers looked at Fang Lang eagerly. After all, ten thousand dollars was not a small amount of money at this time. Fortunately, Brazil is not a country where fighting often occurs. Otherwise, if his men always suffered casualties, Fang Lang would not be able to withstand it.
In this way, after another three or four days of sailing, the transport fleet finally entered the combat radius of the British Air Force, with British Air Force aircraft protecting the fleet along the way.
This made Fang Lang very nervous, fearing that the Reinhardt family would come to silence him. He was so frightened that he ordered all anti-aircraft firepower to maintain first-level combat readiness throughout the process.
Time passed quietly in Fang Lang's fear, and soon the fleet finally arrived safely in Plymouth, England. A total of five transport ships were lost during this escort, and two escort destroyers were injured. It can be regarded as a successful completion of the escort mission.
Originally, according to Fang Lang's expectation, they would have no more missions after this voyage. After all, the Germans would surrender soon.
While Fang Lang was waiting for further orders, Reinhardt boarded the House again. After this period of training, Reinhardt has completely returned to the high-spirited state when Fang Lang just saw him. .
Riding in a limousine, they drove directly to the gangway of the House. The crew of the House thought that some big shot was coming, so they immediately ran into the cabin and called Fang Lang out. However, it turned out to be Reinhardt. , everyone just curled their lips and ignored it.
However, Reinhardt stepped forward and gave Fang Lang a warm hug without caring at all, not caring about the etiquette of a British gentleman:
"Fang, let me tell you some good news secretly."
Looking at Reinhardt in front of him, Fang Lang almost didn't dare to recognize him. After all, this was very different from the Reinhardt in Fang Lang's original impression. Of course, Fang Lang was happy to see this change in Reinhardt. , who doesn’t want to have a few more friends!
"Oh! Have you settled your own affairs? Congratulations!"
Reinhardt laughed and said:
"This little thing of mine was all settled before we docked. This is not the good news I want to say today."
"Oh! Is there any better news?"
"Brother, the Germans are surrendering. Isn't that good news?"
Fang Lang was startled by Reinhardt's words. Is this guy so well-informed? They should still be negotiating now! Is it confirmed now? He couldn't help but look at Reinhardt in surprise.
"how do you know!"
"Haha...Brother, have you forgotten my family background? Of course, this news is not the main good news I want to tell you."
"Is there any better news than the surrender of the Germans? After all, now we can go home in peace."
"Brother, although I know that you sank four German U-boats this time, which is enough for you to level up after you go back. However, as your friend, I have obtained a benefit for you."
Reinhardt looked at Fang Lang with a proud face. He was obviously very satisfied with the gift he had prepared and was very confident that Fang Lang would be very satisfied. Fang Lang looked at his expression and couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
"Okay! Stop being so pretentious, kid, and tell me if you have any good news."
"Haha... I guarantee you will be satisfied with this gift. Didn't I just tell you that the Germans are about to surrender? To be precise, Germany's General Dönitz will order all the troops to surrender on May 8, the day after tomorrow. German submarines surfaced and surrendered to the great Royal Navy of the British Empire."
"What does surrendering to you have to do with me?"
"Brother, of course I can't forget you for such a good thing. So, I convinced my father that we will go to the Atlantic Ocean together to accept the surrender of two U-boats. One of them is a song I gave to you. Gift. How do you like this gift? "
Hearing Reinhardt's words, it took Fang Lang a while to react. Of course, Fang Lang was very happy about such a good thing. He could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and lowered his voice:
"You mean that I can take a U-boat back to Brazil as my prize, right?"
"Haha... Of course, brother, how about it, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Of course Fang Lang was very satisfied with this gift from Reinhardt. This is a famous U-shaped boat!
