Chapter 3, Report.

Soon, under the arrangement of Brigadier General Jackson, Fang Lang followed the messenger, holding his own orders, and arrived at the naval dock in Naples

"Report, General, I am also unaware of this issue. I have not experienced any fainting spells for three days. Personally, I feel that my physical condition is fine and I am ready to work at any time." Fang Lang did not wish to be sent back to the hospital to continue lying down.

"I heard your commander say that you performed very bravely on the front lines. Why do you want to be transferred to the Navy Logistics Department?" Brigadier General Jackson once again posed the question in his heart, clearly suspecting that Fang Lang was transferred to the logistics department by John out of fear for his life.

At this moment, Fang Lang felt extremely nervous, as it was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had encountered such a high-ranking officer. Although John had said that General Jackson was easy to get along with, that was because he had a good father, while he was merely a low-ranking soldier from a third-rate country, not much different from the status of a colonial servant soldier. If he did not perform well, he might be sent off to a corner directly.

Fang Lang's response clearly astonished Brigadier Jackson: "Aren't you the son of a Brazilian farmer? How come you know so many languages and about navigation?"

In fact, it is not far from the Navy Hospital; it is just that the area near the Navy Hospital is occupied by warships, while the location where Fang Lang is currently situated is designated for the docking of transport vessels

Due to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, General Mascarenhas de Morais has repeatedly approached Brigadier Jackson, hoping to arrange a transport ship for the Brazilian Navy, so that the Brazilian Expeditionary Force can independently establish a shipping route between the expeditionary force and Brazil to transport the wounded and fallen soldiers back to the Brazilian mainland

It is uncertain whether this vessel is an improved version of the Victory Wheel, but Fang Lang still hopes to board the Victory Wheel. This is because the early Liberty Wheel was powered by an outdated steam engine, achieving a mere speed of about 11 knots, while the German submarines had reached speeds of 17 knots. Therefore, if detected by a German submarine, escape would be impossible. The Victory Wheel, on the other hand, improved upon the Liberty Wheel's power system, allowing it to reach a speed of 18 knots, ensuring that it would at least not be caught by German submarines, thus providing a greater assurance of safety. The German submarines had reached speeds of 17 knots, so if detected by a German submarine, escape would be impossible.

Please enter! A commanding voice came from within the door

Report, General, I am proficient in English, French, Portuguese, and Chinese, and I can also engage in basic spoken communication in Spanish and Italian. Regarding naval-related skills, I am capable of handling the shipping operations of large transport vessels. The fact that Fang Lang is fluent in so many languages is undoubtedly a wealth of knowledge brought by his two lifetimes. Furthermore, working on large transport vessels is indeed his old profession from his previous life. Although the current ships are certainly not as advanced as their ocean-going container ships, which are depicted in their manuals, navigating the oceans without relying on automated driving is also an essential skill for their crew. Additionally, over twenty years of experience in ocean navigation is sufficient to rival the excellent captains of this era.

Certainly, the freighters are also armed. Each freighter is equipped with six anti-aircraft guns and one anti-submarine gun, which serves merely as a psychological comfort. If they were to encounter the German Navy, they would undoubtedly still rely on the escort fleet.

Moreover, given Fang Lang's rank and qualifications, he should not be assigned to a large transport ship, while small transport vessels are unlikely to become the primary targets of the German military

Fang Lang straightened his military attire once again, reached out to push open the door, and saw a tall, robust middle-aged man, around fifty years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, sitting behind a large office desk, looking up at him.

Cadet Fang Lang approached the desk with a standard military posture and saluted sharply, saying: "General, Second Lieutenant Fang Lang reporting to you!"

Currently, there are quite a number of seized transport vessels at hand, but the captains who can be trusted are unwilling to work exclusively for the Brazilians. Moreover, the seized vessels' commanders are not prepared to sell them at a low price to merchants. If Fang Lang is truly capable of fulfilling the role of a captain for ocean-going vessels, then it would be as if someone is offering a pillow to someone who wants to take a nap

Understood, General! Fang Lang could not possibly inform Jackson that his current physical condition is excellent, to the point where he could kill a cow. He is unsure whether this is a side effect of his time travel, but his overall physical fitness has at least doubled compared to before. The frail body he once had is now beginning to show increasingly prominent muscles. His mental state is also remarkably good; Fang Lang feels that he could manage without sleep for at least three or four days.

"Report, General. The main reason for this injury is that I often faint suddenly. John is concerned that my health would be dangerous in the combat unit, so he recommended me to serve under your command." Fang Lang found it difficult to say that John was acting out of gratitude for saving his life. On the battlefield, the relationship is inherently one of mutual rescue; if one were to transfer a benefactor to the logistics department simply due to a life-saving favor, it might lead General Jackson to perceive John as immature. Of course, Fang Lang believed that John was indeed immature, but the more immature he was, the more advantageous it was for Fang Lang.

"I heard John say that you saved his life, is that correct?" Brigadier General Jackson did not let Fang Lang sit down and directly asked.

It is evident that Brigadier General Jackson has conducted an investigation into Fang Lang's background. Unexpectedly, his response greatly differs from what Brigadier General Jackson had learned. However, Fang Lang cannot disclose that it is a skill from his previous life! After much consideration, he could only weakly respond: "Uh! Report, General, all of this is self-taught. My dream before joining the army was to own my own ship and library. I wanted to sail back to my homeland, Huaxia, to take a look."

The Charles Joss transport ship before us is clearly a Liberty ship that has been in service for no more than two years, and the Liberty ship is a type of vessel that Fang Lang is very familiar with, as it is indeed quite famous. Construction began in 1941, and by the time of Germany's defeat and surrender in 1945, a total of more than 2,700 had been built across eighteen shipyards in the United States

Have you always been quite familiar with him? Hearing Brigadier General Jackson ask this, Fang Lang understood that he suspected his rescue of John might have ulterior motives

Crossing through the crowd of people using lifting equipment to transport goods, Fang Lang followed the messenger up the gangway onto the freighter that was about to set sail back to the United States with strategic supplies.

Alright! If there is any discomfort in your body, you must report it in a timely manner, understand? Jackson is also worried that if Fang Lang encounters any physical issues while with him, it will cause John to trouble him

"Report, sir, Lieutenant Fang Lang of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force has arrived to report!" Fang Lang called out from outside the office of Brigadier General Neo Jackson of the Fourth Fleet of the United States Army. This was what John had informed Fang Lang before leaving Italy, that Brigadier General Jackson wished to have a conversation with him prior to his arrival.

"Yes! Your Excellency the General! Thank you for your support; I will definitely not let you down." Fang Lang was overjoyed to hear that he could directly allocate a warship to the Brazilian Navy after passing the test, allowing him to serve as captain. Although the transport fleet is often attacked by German Navy submarines at this time, each voyage is actually escorted by a naval fleet.

"Do you still experience these sudden fainting spells?" Jackson clearly did not want to have someone under his command who could faint at any moment

Brigadier General Jackson, who had been closely observing Fang Lang's expression, felt a sense of relief after hearing Fang Lang's response

"Then tell me what skills you possess, and I will arrange some work for you." Brigadier General Jackson ultimately decided to accept the employment of this well-connected individual

"Report, General, yes." Fang Lang expressed his concern that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so he could only answer whatever was asked.

Alright! It seems I need to assign you another task. You are to go to the Charles Joss transport ship at the dock and report to Major Raquel Cross! Their transport ship will soon be returning to the United States, and I will request Major Cross to assess you. If you successfully pass the assessment, I will allocate one of the captured transport ships to your Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy for you to serve as captain, fulfilling your dream of being a captain. What do you think?" Brigadier Jackson was pleased to hear that Fang Lang was confident in his ability to handle the duties of an ocean-going transport ship.

The report states that the general did not know him before saving him, and it was only when he woke up in the same ward that he realized it was him who had been saved, and thus they gradually became familiar with each other
