Just when Jiang Haoran decided to go to Imphal, Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Navy, also sent a long-distance urgent telegram, saying that he had now arrived in Chittagong, and asked Jiang Haoran to rush to Chittagong as soon as possible to discuss important matters.

Jiang Haoran suddenly muttered in his heart, he could roughly guess the telegram from the Allied Headquarters, it must be related to the Soviet Union, a few years ago, the people of the United States proposed to let Jiang Haoran send troops to India, the intention of attacking from behind the German army, was categorically rejected by Jiang Haoran, the expeditionary force has just experienced several tragic battles, heavy casualties, although it has been supplemented, but all the troops are mainly recruits, and have not undergone systematic training, and it is impossible to conduct a large-scale expedition. Now that another month or two has passed, the people of the United States probably want to revisit the story again.

But Nimitz suddenly arrived in Chittagong, but Jiang Haoran was puzzled about this, but no matter what, Nimitz's invitation Jiang Haoran still had to go, and immediately ordered the airport to prepare for takeoff, and immediately went to India, and set the first stop in Chittagong, and went to Nimitz first.

The plane took off from Wenzhou Airport in the morning, stopped at Baoshan Base at noon, and after having dinner and replenishing fuel, continued to fly to Chittagong, and landed at New Delhi Airport at about 4 p.m.

Chen Shaokuan, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of China's Pacific Fleet, and Yang Honglie, deputy commander-in-chief, personally greeted him at the airport.

With the establishment of the new government in Chongqing, the commander of the navy, land and air force has fallen on the new president Li Zongjian alone, Chen Shaokuan's original naval commander naturally does not exist, and is replaced by the current commander of the Pacific Fleet, the name of "China's Pacific Fleet" is set by Jiang Haoran, and it is high-end and high-grade, just like the demeanor of a powerful naval power, in fact, China's current navy can indeed be called a powerful power, and the number of four aircraft carriers is not something that ordinary countries can get. Although soft power will take some time, Jiang Haoran believes that this time will not be too long.

Especially after entering Chittagong, this confidence made him even stronger. It had only been three or four months since the last Battle of Midway, when Chittagong had just been taken over from the British, and it was a mess inside and out, but now everything was clean and orderly, and many new buildings had been added to the original desert along the road, many of which had already begun.

Even the pattern of the city has changed significantly, the streets are cleaner, neater, and wider, and they have obviously undergone a drastic repair, which is more in line with the temperament that a large military port should have.

In this regard, Jiang Haoran was full of praise, and praised Chen Shaokuan and Yang Honglie a little embarrassed.

Taking advantage of the time on the road, the two reported to Jiang Haoran about the recent work.

The weapons and equipment on the ships were all in place, Marshall did not break his promise, the aircraft artillery he promised was not bad, and a batch of attrition reserves were also provided.

The navy's personnel establishment has been fully put in place, more than 98,000 officers and men, of which more than 14,000 are young officers who have returned from studying in Britain and the United States, the reorganization of the troops has been completed two months ago, all ships and ships can operate normally and go to sea, and the main force of control is mainly the retired mercenaries of the Navy recruited by Jiang Haotian from the United States, they are skilled and excellent, and they are more hands-on than the overseas officers with rich theoretical knowledge, but this is just a transitional period, and after the student soldiers adapt to a period of time, It still has to be handed over to them, and it is always not very reassuring for foreign soldiers to use it.

In the first battle of Mengdu, all four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy participated in the battle, which was a rare combat training, and Chen Shaokuan did not waste this opportunity. Although the performance of the army was somewhat unsatisfactory, and there were many problems on the battlefield, such as soldiers not being able to find their own positions, officers not being able to find their own soldiers, artillery not being able to find their target positions, and carrier-based aircraft not being able to take off and land on time, but this was their first aircraft carrier operation, and it was understandable that they needed a run-in period to adapt.

Chen Shaokuan and Yang Honglie both said that after this campaign, the overall quality of the troops has improved a lot, and these situations will definitely not occur again in the next battlefield.

The shipyard has already started to break ground, the first phase of the project can be completed in two months, the team of scientific research personnel and experts can enter in advance, and some of the equipment can also be relocated to enter the trial operation stage, in short, before this year, the main construction of the entire shipyard will be completed, and the relocation work will be carried out gradually, and strive to complete more than 50% within the year.

Jiang Haoran can still accept this progress and planning, to relocate a large shipyard that can produce four aircraft carriers, hundreds of other battleships, destroyers, and so on in two years, this is not a small project, and it is inconceivable that it can be completed within two years, and Chen Shaokuan's ambition is admirable. At the same time, Jiang Haoran also deeply felt that he did not look at the wrong person at the beginning, the rise of the Chinese Navy, except for him Chen Shaokuan, may not really find a second person, the key is not the problem of ability, but passion, Chen Shaokuan has a passion for the Navy that ordinary people cannot have.

In the evening, Jiang Haoran finally walked into the naval headquarters.

Nimitz had obviously been waiting for a long time, and was pacing back and forth in the house, when he saw Jiang Haoran appear at the door, he immediately walked up quickly, smiled brightly, and said hurriedly: "My old friend, have you finally waited for you?" ”

"Hehe, old ghost, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Jiang Haoran stepped forward to hold Nimitz's hand and quipped.

Nimitz glanced left and right, looked at Jiang Haoran and was not in a hurry to speak, Jiang Haoran understood in seconds, and immediately ordered all the personnel to leave.

Soon, only the two of them were left in the huge headquarters.

Jiang Haoran smiled: "Say, what is it, why is it so solemn and mysterious?" ”

Nimitz said, "Jiang, you should have received an order from the Allied General Headquarters, right?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Well, Stilwell sent me a telegram, so I didn't rush to see you, so I didn't return to the Imphal headquarters in time." ”

"Oh, thank goodness!" Nimitz patted his chest and said, "Then you don't know what the command asked you to do?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, how, is there something wrong? Nimitz's solemn appearance made Jiang Haoran a little nervous.

Jiang Haoran's mood rose here, Nimitz was not in a hurry, and slowly took out an iron box, took out two cigars from it, and handed one to Jiang Haoran.

The more this happened, the more nervous Jiang Haoran became, blocked the cigar handed over by Nimitz, and said hurriedly: "Old ghost, don't hang your appetite, say something quickly!" ”

Nimitz lit his cigar to himself, still saying slowly, "Don't worry, Jiang, smoke a cigar first to stabilize it, and the next news will not be a good thing for you." ”
