On the first day of June, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sparkling sea, and the golden halo makes the air of Genoa smell of happiness.
Fang Lang was taking his sisters to his newly bought sea-view villa to let them experience the delicious Chinese food. A phone call came in.
"Fang, the order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters has come down. Go to the Navy Headquarters at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to receive the order."
Colonel Parisi's slightly excited voice came out.
"Colonel Parisi, what specific order are you talking about?"
It has been exactly two weeks since the last time we discussed going to the Pacific Theater in General Moraes' office. During this period, Fang Lang also asked Colonel Parisi about the progress of the matter.
However, the answers I got were that we were still communicating and we needed to wait patiently.
Fang Lang thought it was all over, but he didn't expect that when he was immersed in the gentle countryside, he suddenly received a notification, and he didn't know the specific result.
"I don't know the specific situation yet. I only know that the Chief of Staff of the Naval General Staff, Rear Admiral Friedrich Crook, will come personally to convey the new order to you. I require you to be at the expeditionary force at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Naval Command awaits.”
Although Colonel Parisi did not know the specific situation of the matter. However, this time it was Rear Admiral Crook, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, who came from Brazil to read the order in person, so you can know the weight of this order.
Looking at the two girls sitting next to him, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Okay! I hope there will be good news. I thought the matter was over! Tomorrow morning, I will report on time."
Colonel Parisi also smiled when he heard Fang Lang's words:
“This kind of major matter between countries cannot be decided directly in a few sentences. It will definitely require repeated communication and taking into account the interests and demands of all parties before we can finally reach a unified decision.
Two weeks has gone very quickly. Remember to be energetic tomorrow. Major General Crook is a commander who pays great attention to military appearance and discipline. Don't be too casual tomorrow. So be it! See you tomorrow. "
After ending the call with Colonel Parisi, Fang Lang reached out and patted the sofa next to him. Sister Lilith naturally sat down on both sides and leaned against Fang Lang.
"Honey, are you leaving again?"
Before Fang Lang could say anything, Lilith had already taken the initiative to hold Fang Lang's left arm and asked.
Feeling the softness on his arms, Fang Lang felt tender in his heart and said with a hint of reluctance:
"Yes! A new order should have been issued. This time I may have to leave for about three months. You must learn from me!"
"Ah? So long? I don't want you to leave, is it okay?"
Before Fang Lang could speak, his right arm was hugged tightly, and Vivian said softly.
Seeing the two women's reluctant expressions, Fang Lang gently stroked their backs and said with a smile:
"Don't worry! Three months will pass quickly. You must study hard and try to pass the exam directly this time. I will go directly to you after my mission is over."
"If we really pass the exam, wouldn't it be harder to see you?"
Vivian's face was full of displeasure. After all, she was still a young girl. She had just lived a conjoined life with Fang Lang for two weeks, and she was suddenly separated. It was inevitable that she would be reluctant to part with her.
Lilith is older, her thinking is more mature, and she can deal with the short separation between lovers more rationally.
"Okay, Vivian! Fang is a soldier, and we are still in the war, so we don't want to be an obstacle to him. Fang will definitely miss us. We just need to pray for Fang every day and hope that he can come back safely. Don't do anything else. There are too many demands.”
Hearing Lilith's words, Fang Lang felt a little distressed and kissed the two of them on their foreheads before saying:
"If love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever? This is a poem from my hometown, and I give it to you. Don't worry! The war will be over soon, and there will be no more danger. .
I will also visit you when you are studying. When you graduate, I will bring you together, build a big house, and live a shameless life together every day.
Each of you will give me two babies, and we will be like this now, sitting under the afterglow of the sunset and watching the children running on the beach. Okay? "
Fang Lang's words made the two of them fall into deep longing, as if their children were really running and playing on the beach not far away. Longing could not help but appear on his face.
By the time Fang Lang finished packing and was about to go out, the two women were still lying naked on the bed sleeping soundly. After Fang Lang kissed them gently on their foreheads, he quietly exited the room.
I went out and drove to the Expeditionary Force Naval Headquarters. I walked all the way facing the rising sun. The breeze blowing from the seaside carried the fresh fragrance of flowers. Looking at the rising sun not far away, Fang Lang had a hunch that good news would come today. I couldn't help but start to look forward to today's order.
When Fang Lang arrived at the headquarters, he nodded to the officers he knew or didn't know. During this period of time, Fang Lang would often come to the Navy Headquarters when he was working. After all, this was now their own station.
All naval officers know that although this young Asian man still holds the rank of major, his promotion is not far away.
After all, this young man is the only captain in the Brazilian Navy with a record of actual combat sinkings, and his destroyer is the most advanced warship in Brazil.
The future of such young people must be limitless. Even many young naval officers hope to be transferred to serve under him, not because he is handsome.
Rather, because he can lead everyone to win the battle. The military is a place where strength is important. Whoever can lead them to victory will gain their loyalty.
Brazil's naval headquarters in Genoa is a fortress-like two-story building that should be hundreds of years old. Parisi's office is at the far end of the east side of the second floor.
The space is very large, and there are not many personnel in the entire naval command. After all, there are only a few people in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy. However, as an occupying force, they have the right to expropriate an address in Italy that they deem suitable as their office.
Parisi's office door was not closed. After knocking a few times, Fang Lang walked in directly. The relationship between Fang Lang and Parisi no longer needs to pay attention to etiquette, both parties are very casual.
Seeing Parisi looking at a document, Fang Lang didn't say anything and went directly to the reception area in front to make coffee.
"You kid, don't just worry about yourself. Make me a drink too. It's still early, so we don't have to rush."
Parisi said casually.
"Well! Where is your orderly? Ask him to go to the restaurant and get me some bread. I haven't had breakfast yet! I'm a little hungry."
Before Parisi could speak, the orderly who had just walked into the office carrying a kettle said immediately:
"Sir, wait a moment! I'll get it for you right away."
The orderly also knew that Fang Lang and Parisi had a very close relationship. Therefore, he answered directly without hesitation.
Fang Lang smiled and nodded at him and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's see if there are any eggs and bring me two. Thank you!"
The orderly nodded and smiled with a smile on his face:
"Okay, sir, come right over."
Looking at the orderlies leaving, Colonel Parisi smiled and said:
"Why, you also like my orderly?"
Fang Lang handed Colonel Parisi a cup of coffee and said with a smile:
"Whatever, I just envy you for having both an adjutant and an orderly. You don't have to do anything yourself, how comfortable it is."
Parisi also put down the documents in his hands, stood up, took a sip of coffee, walked over to Fang Lang and sat down.
"Don't worry! Your boy will have these soon. Your rank of colonel will not be stuck, and there will definitely be a clear result this time."
Fang Lang stirred the coffee cup with a spoon and smelled the aroma of pure coffee, and said casually:
"Oh! Did you receive a clear message?"
"I can't hear the news from the upper levels now, but there are also some rumors coming from below. But I can't be sure of the accuracy, so I'd better not say anything. It will be clear once the order is read out."
After speaking, he blew the hot air on the coffee and took a sip.
"Okay then! I'm not in a hurry right now."
"I heard from my brother that your family made a lot of noise in Rio Grande do Sul. They opened three factories and my brother was praised for this."
What Colonel Parisi was talking about was the penicillin manufacturing equipment and pesticide and fertilizer manufacturing equipment that Fang Lang purchased from the United States. After Fang Xinshui communicated with the Alegre municipal government, they have officially settled in Alegre.
Moreover, small batch trial production will be available at the end of July.
"Hi! A little business. Why are you interested?"
In fact, Colonel Parisi's retirement was forced and not his own intention. Since I was on the wrong team, there was nothing to complain about.
He was thankful to be able to escape safely. Although he was reluctant to let go, he was unable to change it. Fortunately, he met a dark horse like Fang Lang, who was able to take over some of the low-level officers who were following him, so that he would not have to leave sadly after following him.
Listening to Fang Lang's inquiry, he smiled and shook his head:
"I don't have such a big capital. I have already bought a farm and am ready to go back to being a leisurely farmer."
