General Clark's adjutant obviously saw that Fang Lang had a special relationship with General Clark. Therefore, he made very careful arrangements for the Brazilian expeditionary force.
Although the military camp was just a temporary camp built with simple tents, the entire US military camp was the same. Fang Lang couldn't find any fault with it.
Fang Lang understood the soldiers' desire to rest, especially the Marines, who were even more impatient. Therefore, after the camp was confirmed, the Marines moved in first.
Since Fang Lang's Marine Corps was a completely newly formed unit and had not yet received complete running-in training, Fang Lang would not miss this opportunity to learn now that he had arrived at the headquarters of the United States Marine Corps.
He explained the situation directly 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 was no need to report this small request to General Clark. The Marines on the island had been resting for a few days and were getting bored. With no place to vent their energy, they were causing trouble everywhere.
Now they have a bunch of rookies to bully, which is perfect. Originally they only wanted to borrow a team of more than ten instructors, but more than a hundred American soldiers signed up enthusiastically.
What else is there to say? Fang Lang certainly agrees with it! As for the training expenses, Fang Lang doesn't have to worry about it at all. The adjutant just told the logistics department. Fang Lang and John are very familiar with each other.
The door of the logistics warehouse was completely opened to the Marines. After all, these were supplies from the U.S. government, not the American soldiers themselves. Who would feel bad about it?
...
...
Besides, it's not a waste, just report it and hand it over to the Allied forces for training. With such a large-scale war, who would care about such a small loss!
Fang Lang directly ordered Duarte to seize this rare opportunity to learn real combat skills from the American soldiers and use the US military's supplies to complete the training of his own soldiers.
He could only give him forty days of training, and after forty days Fang Lang would meet the well-trained Marines. He even directly stated that he could accept a 5% loss of personnel.
This was equivalent to directly telling Duarte that he had given out 25 death quotas. This made Duarte's eyes change. He obviously did not expect Fang Lang's requirements to be so strict.
Fang Lang even directly told the major officer of the US Marine Corps who came to organize the training that as long as they didn't die from the training, they should train to death. He promised that each instructor would receive a 100-dollar subsidy for 40 days of training, and the major would receive 500 dollars.
If the average combat effectiveness of the US Marine Corps can be reached, an additional 20% reward will be given. If the level of the US Marine Corps is exceeded, another 20% will be given.
This news drove the instructors of the US Marine Corps crazy, while the Brazilian Marine Corps ushered in their hell month, making all the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Marines pale when talking about their experiences in this month.
Of course, Fang Lang would not deliberately torture these soldiers. He specially hired a five-person medical team at a high salary to ensure the health of the soldiers.
It was promised that if the soldiers met the training requirements, each would receive a personal reward of US$100 from Fang Lang. If the level exceeded that of the American instructors, the reward would be increased by 50%. If the team's performance did not meet the requirements, all rewards would be cancelled.
This made the eyes of the soldiers who had just been transferred to work under Fang Lang and had just received their first personal allowance from Fang Lang light up, and all of them expressed their determination to win this bonus.
After arranging matters for the Marine Corps, Fang Lang finally waited for John on the afternoon of July 7. He didn't know if General Clark was deliberately avoiding Fang Lang and actually broke his promise and didn't show up with John.
When Fang Lang saw John visiting at the camp gate, both of them were very angry. After punching each other, they hugged each other tightly.
"Fang, why do you seem to have lost weight? Are the Italian girls too enthusiastic? You should also be more restrained."
"Hey! You know Lilith is indeed a gentle and good girl. Do you know how determined you are to leave her behind and come to see me?"
"You bastard, will you die if you don't show off Lilith in front of me?"
"Haha... Don't be sad, brother. I'll ask Lilith to introduce you to some hot Italian girls. However, I haven't seen you for a while, and you've grown a little bit! Are you sure you can still handle the girls?"
"Do you want to compete?"
"Forget it. As a good brother, I'm afraid you'll feel inferior. Haha..."
After chatting and laughing, Fang Lang and John walked into Fang Lang's tent arm in arm.
As soon as he sat down, John apologized to Fang Lang.
"Fang, my father asked me to apologize to you. He is really busy with military affairs and can't leave. So..."
Fang Lang waved his hand nonchalantly, interrupting John's words.
"What are you talking about! John, we are good brothers, and your father is my elder. It doesn't make sense for an elder to visit a younger person. Don't worry! I don't mind. It's easier for us to chat when your father is not around, right?"
In fact, when Fang Lang left General Clark's office, he already knew that there was no chance for him to learn the command experience of the US aircraft carrier fleet from General Clark.
Therefore, he had already set his sights on studying in Britain or France. As an adult, he would not be affected by General Clark's unwillingness to teach him aircraft carrier command experience.
After all, the US 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 the next time Fang Lang made a request that was not so difficult, General Clark would definitely consider it carefully.
Even if Fang Lang couldn't get any benefits from the US military from General Clark, he would definitely get some benefits in business. For example, if there wasn't this relationship, Fang Lang wouldn't be able to manage the penicillin production line, right?
"Fang, you're absolutely right. I don't like meeting with my father either. It's too uncomfortable. It's not as comfortable as we are now."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and bumped fists with Fang Lang.
Fang Lang also smiled and punched him.
"Young people have common topics! Why did I hear from your father that you also want to join the combat unit?"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, John's smiling face immediately began to become depressed.
"Hey! Don't mention it. I'm almost frustrated. After all, I came from a combat unit, but now I'm in charge of logistics in the navy and I don't even have the chance to see the enemy. What's the fun of my life?
You are not as carefree as me. When we first met, I was a major and you were a staff sergeant. Now I am a lieutenant colonel and you are a colonel.
I have heard about your brilliant achievements, it is exciting just to think about it. Aren't men supposed to be like you? "
"Haha... buddy, I heard from your father that if you join a combat unit, your mother will divorce your father! For the sake of your family, forget it!"
"Alas! I am so pitiful, and you still laugh at me. Are you a good brother?"
"Actually, in my opinion, being a logistics officer is pretty cool! Especially for a logistics officer in the US military, there will be a lot of suppliers giving you benefits. But you don't seem to be short of these, so this doesn't seem to be of much use to you."
"Don't mention it. How could I not need it? I also need to spend money! I also need to pick up girls! However, under my father's nose, I dare not take any benefits, for fear of causing a bad influence on my father. If I had known earlier, I should not have listened to you and come to work under my father."
"It seems like you are really a bit pitiful!"
"Hey! Stop talking about me. I heard from my brothers today that the Marines under your command seem to be in a miserable state!"
"It's not tragic at all. I'm doing this to improve their combat effectiveness. You've also participated in the training of the expeditionary force. The combat effectiveness of the Brazilian army is really hard to describe.
Otherwise, you Americans wouldn't insist on training us for two years before sending us to the battlefield. Now that they are under my command, of course I have to be more strict!
The Japanese are like stones in the toilet, smelly and hard. I dare not let them go to the battlefield unless I train them into an iron fist! "
"Yes! We have all been on the battlefields in Europe. Whether it's the Germans or the Italians, none of them are as reckless as the Japanese.
By the way, speaking of this, I want to remind you! The battlefield in Asia is different from that in Europe. These dwarfs 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 talk. As Fang Lang's first friend after he woke up, the two of them were friends for life.
Therefore, Fang Lang also regarded John as a true friend. During the dinner, the two of them drank a lot of wine and got drunk.
