The person everyone was talking about, Fang Lang, had already arrived at the Naval Hospital impatiently and hugged his girlfriend Lilith tightly.
"Lilith, I finally see you again! Did you miss me?"
The little girl had tears in her eyes and a look of grievance as she hugged Fang Lang's waist tightly, burying her tearful face in Fang Lang's arms.
"Fang, I miss you so much. You never write to me. When I want to write, I don't even know where to send it!"
"Haha...silly girl, I've been at sea the whole time, and the postman can't catch up with me. By the time your letter reaches Brazil, I might have returned to you."
Fang Lang could clearly feel Lilith's intentions from the strength of her arms. He smiled and whispered comfortingly in the little girl's ear.
"But I miss you!"
Feeling the little girl in his arms acting coquettishly, Fang Lang would not refuse.
"Yeah... I understand. I missed you, too. Now I'm home, right? Do you want to take a leave in the afternoon and go shopping with me?"
...
...
Lilith's joy at Fang Lang's return was beyond words. When she heard that Fang Lang was going to take her shopping, she buried her head in Fang Lang's chest and nodded happily.
"Yeah! Then let's go pick up my sister together!"
Fang Lang couldn't have thought that Lilith would still remember to bring Wei Wei'an with her at this time. It wasn't that Fang Lang didn't like Wei Wei'an, nor did it mean that he didn't want to be with Wei Wei'an, but Fang Lang was with Lilith first after all, so he still wanted to give himself and Lilith some more space alone.
"Are you sure you want to pick up your sister?"
Hearing Fang Lang's slightly hesitant question, Lilith seemed very puzzled and said:
"Of course, this is our agreement. I can't leave her and date you alone. Don't you like Wei Wei'an?"
As a man, how could he not like such a good thing as sisters? However, if he put himself in Lilith's shoes, Fang Lang would also worry whether she really didn't mind at all.
"Of course not, but Lilith, do you really not mind at all?"
"No! My sister and I have a great relationship! We share everything together!"
Looking at Lilith's heartless expression, the scumbag said the most scumbag words with a half-hearted attitude.
"But if that's the case! Am I being too mean?"
"We did this voluntarily! You can't be blamed for this!"
After hearing Lilith's answer, Fang Lang didn't know how to describe his feelings. He felt happy and guilty at the same time.
The two of them laughed all the way to school to pick up their sister Vivian! The three of them laughed all the way, and after having dinner together, they sent the two back home.
When Fang Lang returned to the naval base, Lieutenant Colonel Graham had been waiting outside Fang Lang's barracks for a long time. Fang Lang saw Lieutenant Colonel Graham waiting outside the door at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel Graham! Are you waiting for me here?"
"Oh my God, Fang, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for almost an hour!"
The lieutenant colonel had obviously been waiting for a long time. He stood up, stamped his feet, and rubbed his fingers.
"Uh! I'm so sorry, sir. I just got back to Italy today and had a lot of things to deal with, so I came back quite late. Please tell me if you have any instructions."
Fang Lang would never tell him that he was going shopping with his girlfriend in the afternoon. If Graham knew how long he had been waiting and that Fang Lang was enjoying the blessing of having many wives, he would be very angry to death.
"Haha... I didn't give you any instructions, I just have some good news to tell you!"
Seeing Fang Lang's attitude, Graham couldn't show any dissatisfaction, so he just smiled.
"Haha... I understand, Commander Graham. You are a commander who keeps your word. You really do what you say. Thank you very much for your support."
When Fang Lang heard Graham say that he had good news, he thought that he was here to take credit for his promotion from lieutenant to captain! He couldn't help but think, don't you see that your buddy's collar badge already shows the rank of captain? You're here to take credit now, aren't you too late?
"Ah! No, Fang, you misunderstood. Your promotion to captain is just a small matter. I came here this time to tell you another good news!"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Lieutenant Colonel Graham waved his hands and said that in the Brazilian army, as long as you have money and can bribe the superiors, you can easily get a lieutenant-level officer. It has no gold content, so Lieutenant Colonel Graham said nonchalantly.
"Ah! Any other good news?"
Judging from Graham's behavior, it was obvious that he did not regard helping Fang Lang get promoted from lieutenant to captain as something worth bragging about. This made Fang Lang look forward to what kind of good news Graham could bring him.
"Yes, I believe you have received the order to report to the expeditionary force headquarters tomorrow!"
Looking at Fang Lang's expectant expression, Graham began to keep the secret.
"Yes, today Colonel Parisi has ordered me to report to the expeditionary force headquarters tomorrow morning! Is there any other good news?"
There was absolutely no point in keeping this kind of information confidential, so Fang Lang felt it was natural for Lieutenant Colonel Graham to know about it.
"Hehe... Of course, you did something big in Brazil quietly this time!"
Lieutenant Colonel Graham looked at the young man in front of him with envy. After all, this was the first time that Brazil uncovered an Axis spy organization during World War II. Therefore, the credit and influence were enormous. Otherwise, such a small matter would not need to be known by the President, and the Ministry of Defense would need to call for commendation.
Of course, this may also be because Brazil has only been a member of the Allies for a short time, and there is no threat of war on its own land. At most, German submarines cruised in the waters frequented by the Brazilian Navy, causing a lot of trouble for the Brazilian Navy! Therefore, World War II did not have much impact on Brazil.
Of course, there is no impact at all. For example, the formation of the expeditionary force will definitely affect many families. The sharp increase in the demand for materials from the Allies has pushed many Brazilian resource companies to an unprecedented height.
The Brazilian government made even more money. Vale, Brazil's largest state-owned iron ore company, was only officially established in 1942. It was able to become the world's largest iron ore processing and export company because of the continuous sales of high-grade iron ore to the United States during this period.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Fang Lang. Fang Lang is only concerned about what benefits he can get.
"Hey! This is no big deal. It's pure luck! The credit came to me automatically! Is the good news you mentioned related to this?"
Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Graham knew that Fang Lang did not have a clear understanding of the benefits of this.
"Of course, the Ministry of National Defense sent a special telegram of commendation. Do you think it's good news?"
I heard that it was a commendation from the Ministry of National Defense. Fang Lang knew it was very rare, but what was the point of a commendation without something practical?
"It's just a commendation? It's useless!"
Seeing Fang Lang's slightly disgusted expression, Lieutenant Colonel Graham couldn't help but begin to envy Fang Lang's good fortune.
"Of course it's not as simple as just a commendation. I came to you this time to tell you a good news. Tomorrow you will officially join the ranks of school-level officers."
Lieutenant Colonel Graham's words finally confirmed what Fang Lang had heard from Colonel Parisi. However, this credit was not his alone. After all, when Fang Lang discovered the two Japanese spies, he brought De La Torre with him, and the bonus was shared by the two of them.
"What? There is such a good thing. What about my first mate?"
Graham obviously knew something about De La Torre's affairs, but after all, he was not his own man, so as for the benefits obtained by the first mate, he could only sigh that the other party was lucky.
"Of course he was promoted to the same rank as you! He is so lucky. He has been at the rank of lieutenant for four years. I didn't expect that he would be promoted to the next rank in less than four months after following you."
Hearing what Lieutenant Colonel Graham said, Fang Lang also said with a smile on his face:
"Hahaha... this is all luck, luck. Hehe..."
