Fang Lang had anticipated what Reinhardt would say. If he really wanted to cooperate with the British and join the Pacific battlefield, joining the Pacific Fleet would be the only way.
However, if Fang Lang said some things, the taste would definitely be different. So, he said in a slightly questioning tone:
"I am from the Brazilian Navy. How can I join your British Pacific Fleet?"
Reinhardt was obviously very familiar with the situation of the Pacific Fleet and said without hesitation:
"The Pacific Fleet is originally a mixed fleet! The warships come from the British Empire, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries. Many of them are even captured. There will be no problem if you join them."
Fang Lang knew all these situations. If he had a choice, Fang Lang would certainly hope to join the US fleet. At least there wouldn't be as complicated relationships as the Pacific Fleet.
But who made the Americans refuse? Sigh! It was really a cold shoulder.
"Brother, are you serious? I am really tempted by what you said! But this is not something I can decide on my own. It requires the approval of senior government officials."
Hearing Fang Lang's slightly excited voice, Reinhardt knew that the rest of the matter would need to be left to him. So he laughed and said:
...
...
"Haha... Fang, don't worry! The Pacific Fleet is currently lacking in strength, and the Navy Department is more than happy to have a destroyer with your record join the team!
At the same time, this will be good for me too. To be honest, brother, the last gift I gave you caused my father to suffer a lot of criticism in the Admiralty.
If you can really join the Pacific Fleet and help the British Navy fight, then the matter of this gift will be infinitely downplayed.
This is really good news. I must immediately inform my father of this good news and ask the government to issue an invitation, so that it will become legitimate. "
After saying this, he ended his communication without waiting for Fang Lang to reply.
Fang Lang had never expected that things would develop to this point. If the British government really pushed Fang Lang's House to join the Pacific Fleet, wouldn't that be in line with General Morais' plan?
It seems that my wish of climbing Mount Fuji on horseback may actually come true!
Since there is really a chance to enter the Pacific battlefield, it is very necessary to contact another friend of mine!
This friend is of course John Clark, the son of General Clark, commander of the US Fifth Aircraft Carrier Fleet. Because the two established a true friendship in the hospital, Fang Lang was much more casual when treating John.
"Hey! John, how are you doing lately?"
Listening to Fang Lang's slightly teasing words, John was very happy to be able to communicate with his good friend during the war, and laughed:
"Haha... Fang, how did you find time to contact me? I heard about your outstanding performance in the Atlantic battlefield! I didn't expect you to be a naval genius. If you had known this, you shouldn't have stayed in the army!"
Fang Lang was not surprised that John knew about his performance in the Atlantic. After all, General Jackson and his father, General Clark, were good friends.
When his friend despised his experience in the army, even though that was not what Fang Lang experienced after his rebirth, he still refuted without hesitation:
"If I wasn't in the army, would I have the chance to meet you? If I didn't know you, how could you still brag to me so calmly?"
John, who was speechless after being criticized by Fang Lang, quickly changed the subject.
"Oh! It seems to make sense! Okay! You can always convince me easily. Our battle is not over yet! I don't have time to brag with you here. Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about today? Do you need help with your family business again?"
Seeing John change the subject, Fang Lang pretended not to know and told him the purpose of today. Fang Lang did not want John to help him participate in the Pacific battlefield. His main purpose was to see if there would be a chance to meet him in Asia.
Relationships need to be maintained. Communication nowadays is not as convenient as in later times. Regardless of John's background, he is indeed Fang Lang's first real friend since he came to this world, so Fang Lang wants to maintain this relationship.
That's why he wanted to inform John of the opportunity to go to the Pacific theater.
"You little brat, you talk as if I must have something wrong when I come to you. This time I want to tell you good news."
Unexpectedly, before Fang Lang could tell the good news, John had already imagined it himself. He interrupted directly:
"Fang, you're not going to tell me that you're going to marry Lilith! This is not good news, you bastard. We agreed to compete fairly!"
Fang Lang was so angry at this bastard that he wanted to kick him twice.
"Alright, Lilith, don't think about it anymore. I've already told you that she's your sister-in-law. You'd better give up on her as soon as possible."
When John mentioned the fact that Lilith became Fang Lang's girlfriend, he burst into tears and regretted not having taken her over directly.
"Oh! God! You damn bastard, you took advantage of me leaving Italy and attacked my goddess. Just wait! Tell me! As long as it's not about you and Lilith, other news is good news to me!"
Fang Lang didn't mind John's feelings for Lily, as he knew John wasn't really obsessed with Lilith. Lilith was almost a ray of light for the two during their hospital stay.
The two of them were in the habit of teasing Lilith when they were in the hospital, but they didn't expect that Fang Lang would actually succeed in doing so later.
"Asshole, you dare to still be obsessed with my woman? Just wait, I will come to find you soon, and then I will kick you into the Pacific Ocean to wake you up."
Fang Lang's words made John stunned. What was going on? It was very dangerous for him to come to Asia to find him at this time. He quickly asked:
"What do you mean, you want to come and see me? I'm at war now, why are you here to see me? You're not really going to Asia just to kick me out, are you? That's not necessary! It won't be too late for us to get together again after the war is over!"
Fang Lang said unhappily:
"What good things are you thinking! You are not a peerless beauty, why would I run so far for you! Let me tell you! The Brazilian government is working now. Let me go to the Pacific battlefield and we can meet, right?"
John was stunned by the news that Brazil was going to join the Pacific battlefield. He asked:
"I've never heard of you Brazilians participating in the Pacific War!"
Fang Lang thought, something that has just started to be implemented, there is definitely no way that news will be released so quickly!
"You definitely don't know now! We asked the United States to help you fight in the Pacific battlefield and asked you to support us in forming a small naval fleet, but you refused."
"How come you come if you've already refused?"
Fang Lang had nothing to hide from John's question. After all, it was not a secret. Even if John reported it to his superiors, it would not affect the overall situation.
"You Americans don't need help, but the British do! Now we just have to wait for the top to reach an agreement, and I will probably join the British Pacific Fleet."
When John heard about the Pacific Fleet, he looked disdainful and said directly:
"The shabby Pacific Fleet that Britain cobbled together? You are kidding! They are still having a headache over the inconsistency of logistics supplies! What good will you gain from going there?"
Fang Lang knew exactly what John was talking about. However, his personal goal was not to gain any benefits, so he said indifferently:
"I don't care whether it's good or not. As long as I can have the opportunity to ride on Mount Fuji, I'm willing to pay for it!"
"Fuck, you forgot you are Chinese, are you really going to come to Japan and fire some shots?"
"Of course. Just firing a few shots is not enough. I want to kill them before they surrender!"
Hearing Fang Lang's murderous tone, John understood Fang Lang's determination. Since his good brother had an idea, he would support it with all his strength. So after thinking about it, he said:
"Let me put it this way! Brothers, if you really want to fight the Japanese, I will go find my father and see if I can transfer you to his side. You have more chances here than with the British. What they want now is to take back their colonies. It will depend on us to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns."
Unexpectedly, I just wanted to talk to John about the upcoming meeting, but in the end John actually offered to help and transferred Fang Lang to the US military.
Fang Lang didn't want John to do something that might have a negative impact on him for his own ideas. So he hesitated and said:
"But, your Atlantic Theater has already rejected it!"
"That's why I said I'd give it a try! I'll let you know if there's any good news."
As a result, John responded nonchalantly and ended the communication.
