General Clark's adjutant obviously saw that the relationship between Fang Lang and General Clark was unusual. Therefore, the affairs of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force were arranged very carefully.
Although the military camp is just a temporary military camp built with simple tents, the same is true for the entire US military camp now. Fang Lang couldn't fault anything.
Fang Lang understood very well the soldiers' desire to rest, especially the Marine Corps soldiers who couldn't wait any longer. Therefore, the Marine Corps soldiers moved in immediately after the camp was confirmed.
Since Fang Lang's Marine Corps is a completely new force, it has not yet received complete running-in training. Now that he has arrived at the base camp of the US Marine Corps, Fang Lang will not let go of this opportunity to learn.
He directly explained the situation to General Clark's adjutant and expressed the hope that the most elite Marines in the United States could be arranged to help train real Marines.
There is no need to report this small request to General Clark. The Marines on the island have been resting for a few days and are causing trouble everywhere with no way to vent their energy.
Now that a group of rookies are here and they can be abused, it's simply not appropriate. In the end, I only wanted to borrow a team of more than ten instructors, but in the end, more than a hundred American soldiers signed up enthusiastically.
What else is there to say? Of course Fang Lang supports it with both hands! As for the cost of training, Fang Lang didn't have to worry about it at all. The adjutant just told the logistics department that Fang Lang and John were very familiar with each other.
The door of the logistics warehouse is completely open to the Marine Corps. After all, it is the supplies of the US government and not the US soldiers themselves. Who would feel bad?
Besides, this is not a waste, just report it directly and transfer it to the Allied Forces for training. With such a large-scale war consumption, who cares about this small loss!
Fang Lang directly ordered Duarte to seize this rare opportunity and learn real combat skills from the American soldiers. And use the supplies of the US military to complete the training of its own soldiers.
I can only give him forty days of training time. In forty days, Hou Lang will see the Marine Corps that has been well-trained. He even directly stated that he could accept a five percent loss of personnel.
It is equivalent to directly telling Duarte that he has given twenty-five death quotas. This made Duarte's eyes change. He obviously didn't expect Fang Lang's requirements to be so strict.
Fang Lang even directly told the major officer of the U.S. Marine Corps who came to organize the training that as long as he couldn't practice to death, he would practice to death. Each instructor was promised a training subsidy of one hundred dollars for forty days, and the major received a subsidy of five hundred dollars.
If you can reach the average combat effectiveness of the US Marine Corps, an additional 20% bonus will be added, and if it exceeds the level of the US Marine Corps, an additional 20% will be added.
The news sent instructors in the U.S. Marine Corps crazy. The Brazilian Marine Corps ushered in their hell month, which made all the Marines of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force pale when talking about their experiences this month.
Of course, Fang Lang would not deliberately torture these soldiers. He hired a five-person medical team with a high salary to ensure the health of the soldiers.
It was promised that if the soldiers meet the training requirements, each of them will receive Fang Lang's personal reward of one hundred US dollars. If the level of the American instructors exceeds the reward, the reward will be increased by 50%. If the team's performance does not meet the requirements, all rewards will be cancelled.
This made the eyes of the soldiers who had just been transferred to work under Fang Lang and had just received his first personal allowance from Fang Lang shine, and all of them expressed that they were bound to get this bonus.
After arranging things for the Marine Corps, Fang Lang finally waited for John on the afternoon of July 7th. I don't know if General Clark deliberately avoided Fang Lang, but broke his promise and didn't show up with John.
When Fang Lang saw the visiting John at the gate of the camp, the two of them were very excited. After punching each other, they hugged tightly.
"Fang, why do you seem to have lost weight? Are Italian girls too enthusiastic? You should also pay attention to moderation."
"Hi! You know Lilith is indeed a gentle and good girl. Do you know how determined I am to leave her and come here to see you?"
"You bastard, will you die if you don't show off Lilith in front of me?"
"Haha...Brother, don't be sad. I'll ask Lilith to introduce you to some hot Italian girls. However, since you haven't seen me for a while, there is a tendency of horizontal growth! Are you sure you can still handle it? Are you here girls?"
"Would you like to compete!"
"Forget it, as a good brother, I'm afraid you will feel inferior. Haha..."
After joking, Fang Lang and John walked into Fang Lang's tent arm in arm.
As soon as he sat down, John turned to Fang Lang and expressed his apology.
"Fang, my father asked me to apologize to you. He is really busy with military affairs and can't leave now. So..."
Fang Lang waved his hand nonchalantly and interrupted John's words.
"What are you talking about! John, we are good brothers, and your father is my elder. There is no reason for the elders to come to visit the younger ones. Don't worry! I won't mind. It's better for us to chat when your father is gone, isn't it? "
In fact, when Fang Lang left General Clark's office, Fang Lang already knew that there was no chance of learning from General Clark's experience in commanding the US aircraft carrier fleet.
Therefore, he had already set his sights on studying in the UK or France. As an adult, he would not have done anything wrong just because General Clark was unwilling to teach him aircraft carrier command experience.
After all, the U.S. military is not his own, and many things are beyond his control. This is determined by his own position.
However, Fang Lang believed that General Clark rejected Fang Lang's first request, so next time Fang Lang makes a request that is not that difficult, General Clark will definitely consider it carefully.
Even if Fang Lang cannot benefit from the US military from General Clark, he will definitely benefit from business. For example, without this relationship, Fang Lang wouldn't be able to handle the penicillin production line, right?
"Fang, you are absolutely right. I don't like to have guests with my father either. It's too frustrating. It's not as comfortable as we are now."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to fist bump with Fang Lang.
Fang Lang also smiled and punched him.
"Young people have something in common! Why did I hear your father say that you also want to join the combat force?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, John's smiling face immediately began to become depressed.
"Hey! Don't mention it, I'm almost exhausted. After all, I came out of the combat force, but now I am working in the navy to manage logistics without even having a chance to see the enemy. What fun do you think I have?
How can you live such a carefree life? Look, when we met, I was a major and you were a sergeant. Now I am a lieutenant colonel and you are already a colonel.
I've heard about your glorious record, and it's exciting to think about it. Aren’t men supposed to be like you? "
"Haha... Brother, I heard from your father that if you join the combat force, your mother will divorce your father! For the sake of the integrity of your family, forget it!"
"Alas! I'm so pitiful, and you still laugh at me. You're still not a good brother!"
"Actually, from what I see! It's great to be a logistics officer! Especially as a logistics officer in the US military, you have to have many suppliers give you benefits. But you don't seem to be short of these. This seems to be of no use to you."
"Forget it, how can I not be short? I also want to consume! I also want to pick up girls! However, under my father's eyes, I don't dare to take advantage at all, for fear of having a bad impact on my father. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have listened to you and come to work under my father.”
"It seems like you are really pitiful!"
"Hey! Stop talking about me. I heard from the brothers below today that the Marine Corps under your boy seems to be a bit miserable!"
"What a tragedy, I am doing this to improve their combat effectiveness. You have also participated in the training expedition. The combat effectiveness of the Brazilian army is really hard to describe.
Otherwise, you Americans would not insist on training us for two years before you dare to put us on the battlefield. Now that they are under my control, of course I have to be stricter!
The Japanese are like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard. If I don't train them into iron fists, I don't dare let them go to the battlefield! "
"Yes! We have all been on the European battlefield. No matter whether we are Germans or Italians, we are not as desperate as the Japanese.
By the way, when I say this, I want to remind you! The Asian battlefield is different from the European battlefield. These little guys will not surrender easily, and they often even pretend to surrender. I think you must be careful. "
In this way, Fang Lang and John had a long conversation. As Fang Lang's first friend after waking up, the two of them had a life-long friendship.
Therefore, Fang Lang also regarded John as a true friend. At dinner, the two of them could be regarded as close friends. They drank a thousand glasses of wine and got drunk alone.
