The main dimensions of the Essex-class aircraft carrier are 265.79 meters x 44.99 meters, with a standard displacement of 27,100 tons, a full load displacement of 33,000 tons, and a crew strength of 2,750-3,450 people.
It is powered by four steam turbines, steam propulsion, four shafts and four propellers, with a maximum speed of 33 knots, a cruising range of 20,000 nautical miles/15 knots, a flight deck of 262.13 meters x 29.26 meters, and a maximum aircraft capacity of 100-103 aircraft.
But at this moment the aircraft deck was full of planes, the number of which clearly exceeded the maximum capacity.
Even the runway was filled with planes. Fang Lang looked at Jefferson with a puzzled look on his face and said:
"So many planes? What's going on? Are they extra gifts?"
Jefferson smiled and said:
“How is that possible? I can’t use your own money to do favors for the Brazilian Navy.
An aircraft carrier comes with a hundred aircraft.
Also, didn’t you later place additional orders for F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters and TBF Avenger bombers?
...
...
We will send them all to the aircraft carrier for you."
Fang Lang slapped his head and remembered that he had used the public funds given to him by the Navy Department to buy airplanes.
But seeing the packed apron, Fang Lang felt a little headache and said:
"But if there's danger on the way back, we won't even have the chance to launch a few planes to resist!"
Jefferson looked at Fang Lang with surprise and said:
"Is there anyone who dares to attack an American aircraft carrier?"
Fang Lang didn't know how to respond to the Americans' innate self-confidence.
No wonder Americans in later generations acted like they were the boss and they were second to nothing. It turns out that this kind of self-confidence had already begun to emerge from this time.
Fortunately, in a few years on the peninsula, his hometown will teach him a lesson, otherwise these guys might think they are the strongest in the universe.
"Once we go out to sea, they will belong to our Brazilian Navy."
Fang Lang also knew that the world war had just ended and everyone was licking their wounds. The world was generally peaceful, but peace did not mean safety!
There is actually an arms race between South American countries. It is hard to say whether neighboring countries will be happy for Brazil to have its own aircraft carrier.
Fang Lang looked at these fighter jets and knew that some of them could not fly directly back to Brazil, so he could only shake his head.
Suddenly I remembered that in the application report at that time, I also promised to purchase destroyers together with other naval bases!
He quickly asked:
“By the way, I remember we also purchased four Fletcher-class destroyers at the same time?
When will you deliver the goods? Won’t it be together with the aircraft carrier?
I need their escort.”
Jefferson nodded and said:
"Yes, they are also delivering the goods in the next two days, but their delivery location is in New York Port."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"OK! That's no problem. I'll send them a telegram and ask them to wait for me offshore and then return home together.
Escort me by the way!"
Next, Fang Lang, accompanied by Jefferson and Clark, took a detailed tour of every compartment in the aircraft carrier.
Because the aircraft carrier is so huge, the tour lasted an entire afternoon.
That night Fang Lang stayed in the captain's room on the aircraft carrier.
The next morning, the crew carried out acceptance inspection while continuing to familiarize themselves with the ship's equipment.
Accompanied by guards, Fang Lang boarded a vehicle waiting outside the Norfolk Naval Base and left the naval base.
"Sir, this girl lives in the suburbs of Washington, and it may take us four hours to get there."
Lieutenant Syrio Reich, sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned and said to Fang Lang in the back seat.
"It's okay, I have enough patience."
Fang Lang seemed very relaxed.
After more than four hours of trekking, the vehicle finally arrived at a town called Stafford in the far suburbs of Washington.
Lieutenant Cirio Reich pointed to a clothing store on the side of the road and said:
"Boss, this is the clothing store opened by Miss Ianna Siti."
Fang Lang glanced out the window at this small clothing store, which mainly sells women's clothing.
There are two customers in the store now, chatting with the beautiful woman with big wavy blonde hair that Fang Lang had seen in the photo.
Looking at the street environment, I have to say that the American economy was really developing very well during this era.
In a small suburban town, there are many cars parked on the roadside.
Even their convoy of five cars parked on the side of the road did not attract much attention.
Fang Lang, who didn't see any danger, nodded and said:
"Then let's go directly to visit Miss Ianna Siti. Are the gifts I asked you to prepare ready?"
Sirio Regis quickly took out a gift box from his arms, handed it to Fang Lang and said:
"Boss, it's ready. This is a Tiffany sterling silver bracelet."
Fang Lang took it, shook it, gave a thumbs up, and said to Syrio Reggie with a smile:
"You actually know Tiffany, not bad."
Hearing Fang Lang's teasing, Syrio Reci's face turned slightly red, and he pushed open the passenger door and got out of the car.
The doors of other vehicles also opened at the same time, and a group of men in suits stared vigilantly at the surroundings and slowly approached the vehicle where Fang Lang was.
This action finally attracted the attention of the people around.
After all, vehicles have become popular and everyone thinks there is nothing new to see.
But now that it was obvious that a big shot had arrived, it still aroused people's curiosity.
Don’t say that foreigners are not lively. That’s because they think it’s not fresh enough and there’s nothing interesting to see.
Today, when such an important figure travels, the sight of a bunch of bodyguards accompanying him still attracts everyone's attention.
Lieutenant Cirio Reich winked at the soldiers around him, and three of them pushed open the door of the clothing store and walked in.
After confirming that there was no danger inside, he nodded to the people outside.
Sirio Recchi stepped forward and opened Fang Lang's car door.
Fang Lang saw the three people in the clothing store, and they were obviously a little overwhelmed by the situation.
He smiled, put the gift in his shirt pocket and got out of the car.
The people around him were unable to see Fang Lang's face clearly because of the bodyguards' obstruction.
But the three people in the store were obviously stunned when they saw that the person coming down was a Chinese young man.
The shop owner with big wavy blonde hair looked a little disappointed.
Fang Lang smiled, trying to look as harmless as possible, and walked into the small women's clothing store with a warm look on his face.
He smiled at the blonde beauty with big waves:
"Hello, Miss Ianna Siti, my name is Fang Lang, I'm from Brazil, nice to meet you!"
Hearing that Fang Lang was from Brazil, the blonde with big wavy eyes widened and said in disbelief:
"Did Waldo ask you to pick me up?"
At this time, Fang Lang seemed to be able to hear the BGM playing in the girl's heart, and the narration of A Chinese Odyssey followed.
My prince charming is coming to pick me up on a colorful cloud.
Fang Lang coughed twice and glanced at the two customers in the store with a slightly apologetic look.
The two young women were very tactful. They nodded to Fang Lang, then opened the door and left.
"Uh! Miss Ianna Siti, actually I am Waldo Granma's superior. I am on a business trip to the United States this time, and I was asked by him to come and visit you.
This is a small token of my appreciation, I hope you like it.”
As he said this, he handed over the gift in his hand.
The girl with big wavy blonde hair did not refuse. She took the gift, said thank you, and opened the gift wrapping.
When I saw Tiffany's standards, a smile immediately appeared on my face.
After taking out the bracelet and fitting it on his wrist for a while, he seemed very satisfied.
She smiled sweetly at Fang Lang again and said:
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
Then he looked Fang Lang up and down before saying:
"You are so young, and you are his superior?"
Fang Lang smiled shyly and said:
"My family has some connections in the military."
The blonde with big waves said with an expression of sudden enlightenment:
"Oh! No wonder. I understand."
The guards around him twitched their lips after hearing Fang Lang's words.
"He's already a colonel, so aren't you a general?"
Soon the girl with big wavy blonde hair opened her eyes and mouth wide in disbelief.
Fang Lang was a little surprised. It seemed that Waldo Granma had been in contact with Miss Ianna Siti recently!
Otherwise, how would Miss Ianna Siti know about the military rank upgrade after returning to Brazil!
He smiled and shook his head and asked tentatively:
“No, I’m also a colonel, but I’m his superior in terms of position.
Haven't you heard that he's been transferred to the Navy now?"
The blonde with big waves said a little disappointedly:
"We haven't communicated for almost a month."
Fang Lang nodded suddenly and said:
"I see. I just heard you say that Waldo Granma is going to take you to Brazil?
Can……"
Seeing Fang Lang's hesitant expression, Miss Ianna Siti waved her hand indifferently and said:
“Don’t worry, I know he has a wife.
But he and I truly love each other, and we already have our own children.
He promised me that he would divorce his wife and marry me."
My goodness, he almost blurted out a curse. No wonder Waldo Granma wants to buy a property. Is he really planning to divorce his original wife and be with this girl with big blonde hair and big waves?
Isn't this even worse than myself?
I am just a philanthropic person, but I never deceive women.
Didn't the intelligence provided by the Second Section of the Logistics Department say that Waldo Granma loved his wife very much? He was completely obedient to her.
I didn't expect that he would promise the woman in front of him to marry her.
Fang Lang thought it was impossible. Given Waldo Granma's situation in the Brazilian army, if he really divorced his wife, he would definitely lose the support of his father-in-law.
In this case, everything he has now will come to nothing.
So Fang Lang was sure that he would never divorce his wife and marry the girl with big wavy blonde hair in front of him.
If that's the case, are the big blonde waves still that important?
Soon, Fang Lang realized that it didn't matter how important the wavy blond girl in front of him was to Waldo Granma.
Waldo Granma would never want his wife to know the existence of this little girl.
This big blonde wave is a very useful handle no matter how you look at it.
It seems that I need to arrange someone to protect the big wavy blonde hair in front of me. It would be bad if that guy did something inhumane in order to prevent his wife from discovering the existence of the big wavy hair.
"Oh! So that's how it is. No wonder he spent a huge amount of money to buy a mansion in Rio de Janeiro some time ago.
Is this to take you back to live with him?"
The blonde with big waves said with a smile:
"Yes, he told me about the mansion. But I haven't seen it.
Have you ever visited it? "
The anticipation in his eyes was about to overflow from his eyes.
Fang Lang felt that the girl in front of him with big wavy blonde hair was really innocent and cute. Not only was she completely unguarded against a stranger like him, she also believed the scumbag's words without a doubt.
This made Fang Lang feel guilty whenever he chatted with him.
He shook his head and said:
“We are based in Natal, a long way from Rio de Janeiro.
So, I didn’t have the chance to visit the love nest he bought for you.”
Maybe it was the love nest that Fang Lang mentioned that evoked some associations in the blonde with big wavy hair, but her face actually blushed a little.
