After hearing the words of Second Lieutenant Alberto Dill, Colonel Waldo Gramma said with disdain:
"A young second lieutenant wants to be my adjutant, what good things are you thinking!
I have my own adjutant and I don’t need anyone else to make arrangements for me.
Send us back to our accommodation. "
Lieutenant Albert Dill did not dare to say anything more, so he could only nod his head and said:
"Yes, sir, please follow me. The car is just ahead."
Colonel Waldo Gramma didn't say much. He turned to the exquisite woman and said:
"These damn navy fishermen are really ignorant and don't understand any etiquette.
When I was the commander of the army regiment, the naval colonel named Fang Lang was just an infantry cannon fodder!
When the old superior arrived, he didn't come to greet him. It was really uneducated. "
The delicate and beautiful woman wears a white hat on her hair, with a fishnet-shaped white decoration hanging from the brim.
It looks very elegant.
After hearing his man's words, he covered his nose and frowned slightly:
“No wonder I smelled a faint fishy smell, it turns out they are all fishermen.
You'd better arrange for someone to clean our house. If I smell this fishy smell every day from now on, I will vomit. "
Colonel Waldo Gramma smiled and said:
"Don't worry! Tomorrow I will organize everyone to clean up the surrounding areas.
Let these damn fishermen enter civilized society early and experience it. "
After hearing what he said, the lady smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at the soldiers carrying luggage behind her, and scolded:
"Be careful, these suitcases are very valuable.
You, you, that's you, how could you put the suitcase on the floor?
If it gets dirty, lick it clean for me. "
The few soldiers behind him were so frightened that they quickly raised the suitcase that was not on the ground.
The couple did not notice that the faces of the people who came to greet them began to look ugly.
The leader, Second Lieutenant Albert Dill, had a cold gleam in his eyes. He looked at the soldiers carrying luggage with a look of thought in his eyes.
Under the guidance of Second Lieutenant Albert Dill, everyone came to a row of Willys jeeps parked next to the runway.
Before inviting everyone to get on the bus, Colonel Waldo Gramma frowned and said:
"Why are they all military jeeps and not cars for senior officers?"
Lieutenant Albert Dill quickly stepped forward and explained:
"Sir, apart from jeeps, the only vehicles at our naval base are trucks, and there are no cars for senior officers."
"My dear, this won't work. You have to hurry up and ask the logistics department to purchase two cars.
Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient for me and the children to go out.
This Jeep is leaking air everywhere, and I don’t know how much dust it eats! "
Mrs. Gramma's delicate voice sounded from behind.
Colonel Waldo Gramma quickly said with a smile on his face:
"Don't worry! When I apply to purchase tank equipment, I will also purchase two cars to ensure that you and the children are protected from the wind and rain.
Now, let me feel sorry for you, dear, and take this old jeep back to my residence to talk about it. "
After finishing speaking, he looked at the appearance of the back seat of the jeep. It obviously felt unhygienic, and then said to Second Lieutenant Albert Dill:
"Don't you usually do maintenance on your vehicle? Look how dirty this seat is. Find something to pad it quickly."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, it didn't make sense!
How could it be dirty if it was done just before the reception? Could it be that his subordinates are lazy?
You must know that Fang Lang has very strict health standards for the military. Whether it is a warship or the environment in the base, the maintenance requirements for ordnance equipment are very strict.
All places must be cleaned at least twice a day, and the military police will inspect all sanitary corners every day. If the military police's white gloves get dirty in that place.
The consequences would be very serious. Not only would the person in charge of this health area be in trouble, but his immediate superiors three levels higher would also have to review the situation.
And, it affects everyone’s allowances.
This can't be blamed on Fang Lang's perverted demands. In fact, with so many people in an army living together, if you are not careful, it may cause infectious diseases.
Therefore, Fang Lang couldn't even think about being cautious.
In addition to strict requirements on hygiene, Fang Lang also has very strict requirements on the grooming of the army. I remember in his previous life, when he was studying and participating in military training, the instructor taught everyone how to fold tofu cubes.
Fang Lang also wanted to promote it in the First Fleet, but because his fleet was stationed in the tropics for a long time, there was no chance to use quilts, so he could only ask everyone to tidy up the bed surface.
It looked very pleasing to the eye. At first, the officers and soldiers of the First Fleet complained, but after a while, everyone discovered the benefits.
In addition, Fang Lang established a strict reward and punishment system. For the sake of their own honor and their own allowances, everyone gradually developed good hygiene habits.
Therefore, when Second Lieutenant Albert Dill heard that his subordinates had unqualified hygiene, his expression changed, and so did the soldiers around him.
The driver of this car quickly turned his head and looked at the place pointed by Colonel Waldo Gramma.
But no matter how hard everyone looked, they couldn't find anything dirty!
Lieutenant Albert Dill even reached out and touched the seat and the floor, but he didn't see a trace of dust anywhere!
It stands to reason that after driving a jeep without doors for a while, there should be some dust. But Natal as a seaside city.
In addition, there is no industrial base nearby that can pollute the environment, and the air quality is still very good. As long as you don't drive the car on the muddy road outside the military camp, the car will basically not be dirty.
Seeing his clean palms, Second Lieutenant Albert Dill still didn't understand that the other party had not discovered some sanitary blind spots at all, but was clearly looking for faults.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he said with a smile:
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'm going to find a blanket right now to cushion you."
But Colonel Waldo Gramma shook his head with a dark face and said:
"The sun is so bright now, why are you looking for a blanket? Take off your military uniform and put it on."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill looked at the navy uniform on his own body, and then at the army uniform on the other party, and had some vague guesses in his mind.
But no matter what the situation was, he could not accept using his military uniform as a cushion for the opponent.
This is not a matter of cleanliness at all, it is a matter of dignity.
Therefore, the smile on Second Lieutenant Albert Dill's face finally disappeared, and he put on a serious expression and said to Colonel Waldo Gramma:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, the military uniform represents the honor of the soldier.
I cannot accept the request to use our uniforms as cushions for your family. "
Colonel Waldo Gramma obviously did not expect that a young second lieutenant officer would dare to refuse to carry out his orders.
And it was in front of his family, which made him unable to get off stage.
His face, which was already very gloomy, was so dark that he could even draw water from his face.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, do you understand the consequences of disobedience?"
"Sir, I am a soldier. I am not disobeying orders. I am maintaining the dignity of a soldier."
Second Lieutenant Albert Dill said without giving in.
Of course he would not foolishly admit that he was disobeying orders.
The soldiers who came around to greet this group also looked very ugly at this moment.
But the faces of the group of soldiers behind the colonel were numb, and they seemed to be disappointed.
Indifferent to what is happening in front of you.
Colonel Waldo Gramma's hand reached uncontrollably for the pistol in his belt.
Lieutenant Albert Dill, on the other hand, seemed to have not seen the other party's movements. He stood at attention with an expressionless face and looked at the other party.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, everyone stopped talking and looked at how the colonel was going to deal with it.
A soft and cute little girl’s voice rang:
"Mom, I'm hungry."
The little girl obviously didn't understand what was happening.
However, his voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Mrs. Gramma stepped forward and took the little girl’s hand and said:
"Be good, baby, let me prepare food for you when you get home."
Colonel Waldo Gramma said with a livid face:
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, you saved a life.
Now send us back to settle down, and then go and receive a week of confinement yourself. "
Lieutenant Albert Dill still said expressionlessly:
"Understood, Mr. Colonel."
It's not that Second Lieutenant Alberto Dill is a coward, but that in the Brazilian army at this time, ordinary soldiers had no human rights at all. You could only obey orders when superior officers ordered you to be a slave.
Only after becoming an officer can you gradually have certain human rights.
As an army under the command and training of the US military, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force is relatively Westernized in ideology. The slave-like subordinate relationship between officers and soldiers has gradually disappeared from the old Brazilian army.
In addition, when the First Fleet was established, Fang Lang attached great importance to building a sense of honor among soldiers and corrected many bad habits in the Brazilian army.
Not to mention making the officers and soldiers of the First Fleet equal, but it is definitely an alternative among the entire Brazilian army.
Take the situation of corruption and bribery in the army as an example. This is a basic operation and a common unspoken rule in other Brazilian armies.
The First Fleet clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to accept bribes from junior officers, and it is prohibited for subordinates to bribe their superiors. If found, both parties will be dismissed from the military.
This made many officers and soldiers who were transferred to the First Fleet from other units very uncomfortable.
Coupled with the allowances given by the Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet to the entire army, it is even more unbelievable to most people.
After all, the current First Fleet does not only have the original two or three kittens. The full complement of one aircraft carrier alone has reached more than 3,400, and the number of Marines has also reached more than 2,500.
Together with the crew members of other warships and base logistics personnel, the total number of members of the First Fleet has actually exceeded the 10,000 mark.
For such a huge army, Fang Lang's monthly allowance would be as high as nearly 800,000 US dollars.
The amount of the subsidy is, in fact, far higher than the military salary paid by the Brazilian government.
This also caused many officers and soldiers of the First Fleet to call Fang Lang boss or OSS instead of commander.
Because many people believe in their hearts that Fang Lang is their boss because Fang Lang pays them money.
Everyone in the First Fleet was told that this allowance was paid to everyone personally by Fang Lang.
If someone exposes this matter, all employees will stop paying this allowance; if you perform poorly, your allowance will be deducted; if you disobey orders or disobey Fang Lang's leadership, your allowance will be stopped.
A large part of the function of the Second Section of the Logistics Department is to monitor the dissemination of this information.
