Chen Dao lay on his back in the chair with a weak body, and several derogatory words such as bureaucracy, Yiyantang, and nonsense instantly popped up in his mind.

"If you don't speak, I'll take you as an agreement, you eat with me at noon, and join me in the afternoon." Goering said.

"It's no problem for me to hold two positions at the same time, but if I go to the navy, who will handle the day-to-day affairs of the Herman Golin regiment, will they let them go to the navy to find me to sign?" Chen Dao asked lazily while lying in his chair.

"Hehe," Goering smiled, a smile that had an unfathomable feeling in Chen Dao's eyes.

"Everyday affairs can be left to Lieutenant Colonel Mandolfer to handle, don't you usually do the same? What is the most common thing you say when the officers in Hermann Goering's regiment ask you for official business? 'Don't come to me for such a trivial matter, go to Lieutenant Colonel Mandolfer. ’”

Goering pinched his throat and imitated Chen Dao's voice, Chen Dao jumped up from the chair with a shake, pointed at Goering and said, "You, how do you know?" I see, you must have arranged a spy for me. ”

"The Herman Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment is named after me, shouldn't I care about the day-to-day affairs of the regiment? Anyway, it doesn't matter if you are the head of the regiment or not. Besides, the professional ability of Lieutenant Colonel Mandol is very good, and with him, the affairs of the regiment will not be affected in any way, so you can rest assured that you can go to the navy, as long as you come back every once in a while. ”

Chen Dao's blood surged in an instant, glared at Goering and shouted: "You explain to me, what is the meaning of 'it doesn't matter if you are the head of the regiment or not'?" ”

Goering quipped: "Blushing what? Sit down and talk well. ”

"You hurt my self-esteem, you know?" Chen Dao pinched his waist with his hands and stared at Goering condescendingly.

There was a knock at the door, and Goering's secretary pushed the door in and said, "Marshal, Captain Garand is here." ”

Chen Dao saw that an outsider came in, so he had to sit back on the chair angrily.

"Let him in." Goering said.

A moment later, an Air Force captain about Chen Dao's age walked into the office and saluted Goering respectfully.

Chen Dao glanced at Garland and saw that Captain Garland had a big back hair that was very popular among young German soldiers, and a mustache that looked like Hitler's.

How did Captain Garland's head grow so vividly, like a winter melon standing up, Chen Dao thought silently.

Goering got up very embarrassed and walked up to Captain Garland, pointed at Chen Dao and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Colonel Heinz von Rosen. ”

Chen Dao hurriedly stood up and walked to the opposite side of Garand.

"He was Captain Adolf Garland, squadron leader of the 4th Dive Bombardment Squadron of the 2nd Teaching Wing, he served in the Condor Legion, and he was awarded the Spanish Cross of Merit with Diamond and Gold, Spain's highest honor." Goering continued.

Garland's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Dao's name, and he immediately stretched out his hand to Chen Dao and said, "Colonel, I have seen you in military magazines, and I like you very much, and you can't escape the war as a soldier. ”

Chen Dao saw that this captain Garand with a winter melon face was so good, so he held Garand's hand and said very face-savingly: "It turns out that you are a combat hero who participated in the Spanish War, and you must tell me about your heroic deeds in Spain when you have time in the future." ”

After listening to the compliments of the two people, Goering said with a straight face: "Captain Garand, stand upright." ”

Garland hurriedly stood upright, and Chen Dao stared at Goering suspiciously, wanting to see what Goering was going to do.

Goering picked up a silver aluminum box with the eagle emblem on the table, and took out a pair of epaulettes from the inside and put them on Garand's shoulders. "From now on, you are Lieutenant Colonel Garland, congratulations."

Actually promoted by two levels! Chen Dao was taken aback.

A trace of confusion flashed in Garland's eyes instantly, could it be that His Excellency the Marshal made a mistake, and then thought that such a small probability event could not happen, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of joy.

Garland remembered excitedly that when his superiors informed him yesterday that Field Marshal Goering would personally confer on him the rank of major, he received numerous envious glances from his colleagues.

Now that the major has become a lieutenant colonel, what will happen when he returns? It will definitely be stripped naked by envious, jealous and hateful colleagues, tied to the plane and taken to the sky, enjoying the pleasure of zero contact with nature.

Without waiting for Garland to recover from his agitation, Göring continued: "The German Navy will set up naval aviation, and in order for naval aviation to quickly form combat effectiveness, our air force will send two capable officers to serve as the commander and chief of staff of naval aviation. Congratulations again, Lieutenant Colonel Garland. It won't be long before you will be the first chief of staff of naval aviation, and Colonel Rosen will be your commander. ”

Chen Dao suddenly realized, no wonder Garland was able to promote two ranks, it turned out to be the partner Goering found for himself.

"Lieutenant Colonel Garland, we will be partners in the future, congratulations." Chen Dao hurriedly stretched out his right hand to Garland.

"Oh, thank you." Garand, who was almost stunned by happiness, suddenly came back to his senses and held Chen Dao's hand.

"We ate together at noon, and in the afternoon we had a meeting with Marshal Raeder of the Navy." Goering said.

After a period of hard work, Chen Dao learned that Garland was 27 years old this year, and he was only one year older than him, and he said that this was also a young man.

Garland learned that Chen Dao was one year younger than him, glanced at Chen Dao's rank of colonel, and then thought about his rank of lieutenant colonel, and said in his heart that there were still people above him who were promoted, and the joy of being promoted to two levels in his heart immediately faded a lot.

At 1:40 p.m., Marshal Raeder arrived at the Air Force Headquarters with his men. At two o'clock, the meeting started on time.

When Raeder heard Goering introduce Chen Dao and Garand, Raeder looked at Chen Dao a few times, and immediately recognized Chen Dao as Major Rosen, who had recently appeared on the cover of a military magazine, and also made wild claims that he had defeated Major Rosen of France in eight weeks.

Seeing that in less than half a month, this Major Lawson, who didn't even have a long beard, had turned into Colonel Lawson, and the surprise in Raeder's heart was beyond words.

Out of the corner of his eye, he swept over the young lieutenant colonel with a winter melon face on the opposite side, and Raeder couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, it was such two young people under the age of 30 who were going to be the commander and chief of staff of the German naval aviation, and he was powerless to stop it.

Why is there always such a bizarre tragedy? Or in the German Navy, which it has painstakingly built. Raeder couldn't help but wonder God, what happened to the country of Germany?

It is a pity that Marshal Raeder was too far from God and too close to Goer, and all he could do was consult with Goering about the details of the formation of naval aviation.

After listening for a while, Garand saw that Chen Dao had no intention of speaking, so he couldn't help but ask a few questions, which were answered by Goering and Raeder one by one.

Chen Dao sat in the chair and smoked silently, but he pricked up his ears to hear Garand's question clearly, and said in his heart that Garand, who had just learned of his new position, could ask the right questions, and he could be regarded as a talent.

Goering and Raeder discussed it for a while, and the meeting came to an end after it was decided that Chen Dao and Garland would take up their posts next Monday. After declining Goering's offer to leave him and his men for dinner, Raeder led his men away.

"Marshal Raeder, please wait." Chen Dao said.

"Colonel Rosen, what's your problem?" Raeder asked.

Garland looked at Chen Dao, wanting to hear what his new superior had to say?

"Will Lieutenant Colonel Garland and I wear Navy uniforms when we take up our duties in the Navy?" Chen Dao asked.

"Yes. And the Navy will grant you the same rank as you do in the Air Force. Raeder replied.

Raedel said in his heart that you must wear a navy uniform, so that if you have problems in the future, the navy can justify you.

"So my rank is colonel, and Garland is lieutenant colonel." Chen Dao muttered to himself.

"Do you have any questions?" Raeder had an impatient look on his face.

"What rank is Commander of the Submarine Forces Dönitz?" Chen Dao suddenly asked.

"Major General." Raeder replied.

"The same commander of a unit under the Navy, why is he with the rank of rear admiral, and I have the rank of colonel. Could it be that in the eyes of the Navy, the status of naval aviation is not comparable to that of submarine forces? Chen Dao asked.

"This is indeed a very serious question, please answer it, Marshal Raeder." Goering reacted and asked.

Raeder saw that Göring was the leader, and several high-ranking officers of the Air Force, Mirhi, Jeshunek and others were staring at him, and he instantly felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange.

"If you want to be promoted to the rank of major general, show your strength, if you are a competent commander of naval aviation, not to mention major general, it is possible to get the rank of marshal." Raeder is also a person who has seen the world, and he was not overwhelmed by the momentum of the senior officials of the Air Force, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Marshal Raeder, there is a saying called seeing the essence through the phenomenon, and the rank of major general and colonel I mentioned is just an appearance, and the essence of the matter is ・・・・・," Chen Dao said.

"The essence of the matter is the status of naval aviation in the navy, and the people of our air force are going to the navy to help you build naval aviation, not to be discriminated against, please pay attention to this, Marshal Raeder." This was stated by the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, Jeshunek.

Chen Dao didn't expect that Yeshunek, who was not familiar with him, would take the initiative to help him speak, and glanced at Yeshunek in surprise.

The question of rank was raised to the level of a matter of face, of course, in the military it was called a matter of honor, and Marshal Raeder instantly felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was even more oppressive.

"Ahem." Goering rolled his eyes and coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Marshal Raeder, Colonel Rosen, and Lieutenant Colonel Garland, though young, I can assure you that they are certainly competent naval officers. After they took office in the Navy, they did everything they said and did not only on behalf of the Navy, but also on behalf of the Luftwaffe. Do you think I will pick two incompetent officers at random to the navy to discredit the honor of the Luftwaffe? If you look at Lieutenant Colonel Garland's Iron Cross of the First Degree, and then look at the diamond and gold Spanish Cross, don't these two medals prove Lieutenant Colonel Garland's ability? ”

Hearing Goering talk about himself, Garand's back straightened even more.

"Did you know that Colonel Rosen has already begun to perform his duties as commander of naval aviation before he took office?" Goering continued.

Raeder, of course, didn't know what Goering was talking about, and asked suspiciously, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"When Colonel Rosen learned that he would be appointed commander of naval aviation, he begged me to halt the dismantling of the aircraft carrier Strassel immediately, and I agreed. He also asked me to restart the construction of the Strassel, and although the Navy had stopped allocating funds, I saw that he was dutiful, and I vouched for my reputation to allow the shipyard to allocate workers for the construction first. As for the funding, the Navy can make up for it later at the shipyards. Does this incident prove that Colonel Rosen was a competent naval officer? Goering asked.

Marshal Raeder frowned and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Goering said dissatisfied.

The naval officer sitting to Raeder's left whispered a few words in Raeder's ear, proving that the dismantling of the USS Trass had indeed been stopped, but for unknown reasons.

Chen Dao saw the embarrassment on Raeder's face, and his heart was already happy, and he said that his brother-in-law is really a master in the business field, he doesn't have a backache when he sits and lies, and the black can be said to be white, and it seems that his rank of major general is about to be obtained.

"Marshal Goering, I assure you that naval aviation will be treated the same as submarine forces, and no one will discriminate against them." Raeder said sincerely.

Seeing that Goering and the others didn't speak, just stared at him, Raeder knew that he could only convince them by taking practical actions, and said in a heart: "Colonel Rosen will get the rank of rear admiral." ”

Chen Dao was not happy, and asked calmly, "What about my chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Garland?" ”

Field Marshal Raeder gritted his teeth and said, "He will gain more respect in the Navy." ”

Raeder said it very implicitly, but Garand still understood, and he would receive the rank of colonel.

Promoted three levels in a row, and when I went back, my colleagues knew about it, would they tie themselves up with ropes and drag them behind the plane to fly kites? Garland thought sadly.
