The fleet arrived at the port of Naha. Tan Renhao took the transfer plane sent by Gan Yongxing to return to Zhoushan. When he arrived in Zhoushan, it was already early in the morning of October 28, and Tan Renhao seized the time to sleep for a few hours on the plane. Otherwise, Gan Yongxing would not have arranged a special plane for him so "enthusiastically" that he had just set foot on land. Then it's time to board the plane.

Back at the Navy Headquarters, the first news Tan Renhao got was that the principal went to the capital, first, to determine the Navy's 28-year military budget, and second, to have a relationship with Yan Dingyu.

"Now that the problem has come to the table, the principal will definitely have a lot of trouble going to the capital this time." Gan Yongxing made Tan Renhao a cup of strong coffee. How did you sleep on the plane? ”

"It's not bad, it's already here when I wake up, and it just happens to let me adjust to the jet lag." Tan Renhao took a sip, so bitter that he immediately frowned. Is it the next stage of combat operations that has caused disagreement? ”

"It's not just a disagreement, it's like the army and navy are going to war." Gan Yongxing laughed exaggeratedly, "After you left, the army has been opposing the attack on the Panama Canal. And to assert that we can't be successful. I heard that the day after you left the capital, Yan Dingyu took Gu Xunlei to visit the prime minister and talked with the prime minister for a whole day."

"Sell their battle plan?"

"Is there any other place besides this?" Gan Yongxing laughed as he spoke, "I also learned about the news later. At that time, Yan Dingyu concluded that we would fail, and now he can't take it back."

Tan Renhao thinks that there is nothing funny, the army and navy have contradictions, this is absolutely not funny. When the war broke out, the conflict between the army and the navy almost caused the empire to capsize in the gutter. It can be said that most of the "credit" for the inferior performance of the imperial army in the early stage of the war belongs to the contradiction between the army and the navy. The war forced the army and navy to come together and win, and this was a joint victory for both armies, not for either army, because there was no army, or no navy made a great contribution. In the end, it is impossible for the empire to gain immediate advantage. The war is about to be won. At this time, the army and navy once again turned Zhua ~ Xia Zhong% reprinted

Face. It's definitely not something to be happy about.

Gan Yongxing laughed for a while, and then stopped, probably he didn't think it was funny.

"Chief of Staff, I think this is a troublesome matter."

"yes. Otherwise, the principal would not have gone to the capital more than ten days in advance." Gan Yongxing sighed, "You have returned triumphantly. This is a great thing for us, and to be honest, the First Fleet has once again accomplished an almost impossible mission. At the time of receiving your return to the land. The headmaster smiled, and before that, almost no one believed that you would be able to achieve victory. And it was a near-perfect victory."

"It's not just a First Fleet victory. And I think . The Marines are far superior to the fleet, and if it weren't for those commandos of the Marines, we would still be wandering in the Pacific Ocean, and we would only be able to make a detour through the Strait of Magellan into the Atlantic."

"I know this, and I have also read the telegram sent back by Han Shaofeng." Gan Yongxing hesitated slightly, "He specifically mentioned a major named Yang Chengfudi in the telegram, do you know this person?" ”

"I've only heard others say that he should be one of Han Shaofeng's most important subordinates, and he joined the army before the war broke out. He was seriously wounded four times in battle and was awarded six medals. It's just that I can't figure it out is that he was only a major battalion commander at the time of his sacrifice, and it stands to reason that a combat hero like him should have been promoted a long time ago. Back then, when he was a second lieutenant, Han Shaofeng was just a captain, and now Han Shaofeng is already a lieutenant general, and he will soon become a general, right? ”

"Yes, Han Shaofeng's promotion has been confirmed, and he will be the first Marine Corps general to be promoted at the end of this year, and it will be Yan Guozhong who personally named him." Gan Yongxing went to get a document, and the Hua @ Xia Chinese member collected "This is the personal file of Yang Chengfudi, who is a returned expatriate who was fifteen years old before the age of Richmond, Virginia, USA. Both parents were scholars sent to the United States by the Imperial Government. He first entered the Army Academy, and after graduation, he worked in the Army for less than half a year before retiring, and it was at this time that the Marine Corps was recruiting a group of officers who were proficient in English and had a relatively in-depth understanding of the United States.

Tan Renhao flipped through the file and looked at it. Now he also understands why Yang Chengfu has been in the Marine Corps for several years and has fought on the battlefield for several years. It's just a major for all the credit.

"It's not fair." Gan Yongxing took out a cigarette, "Maybe it's time for the empire to review its attitude towards the returned people, but it is impossible for us to influence the cabinet, let alone directly put pressure on the prime minister."

"But we should do something. At the very least, something should be done for these soldiers who have returned to the Empire and fought for the Empire, who are no worse than any of our soldiers who were born and raised in the Empire, if not much better, and whose merits must be recognized. Their deeds must be recorded, and they deserve their honor and dignity! ”

"I'm dealing with this." Gan Yongxing raised his head, "Prepare to start with Yang Chengfu, we want to let those soldiers who have contributed to the empire get the honor and dignity they deserve. This year we have three places for the 'Royal Order' and I have already applied for one for Yang Chengfu. The principal also agreed, and now it is mainly the government, as long as the prime minister nods, the matter is settled."

"Then let's start with Yang Chengfu."

Both of them looked firm, like those soldiers and civilians in the empire, these people have the same blood in their bodies, just because they did not grow up in the empire when they were young, and the soldiers who have made great contributions to the empire on the battlefield should never be denied because they have lived abroad before. We love our homeland. The fact that he swore an oath to defend his homeland and fulfilled his oath on the battlefield. Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing did not know at the time that it was from the case of Yang Chengfu that in the next half century, tens of thousands of returned expatriates who had served in the imperial army gained respect and honor. After the war, several imperial governments reviewed the extreme behavior of the war, and have been correcting their mistakes, and because of this, those who shed blood on the battlefield, and even died on the battlefield, were treated fairly. Perhaps, this came a little later. But for those who are still healthy, Hua $ Xia Zhong # Wen Netizens Record

For the soldiers who are in the country, or the soldiers who have died and passed away, all this is not over.

"These things. We'll take care of it." Gan Yongxing changed the subject. Now the focus is. How do we get out of the next step and that's what I'm going to get you back. To be precise, it was the principal who called me to call you back."

Tan Renhao nodded and motioned for the chief of staff to continue.

"Renhao, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"You mean, how should the next battle be fought?"

Gan Yongxing told Tan Renhao with a look that what he needed was the answer.

"Let's put it this way, we can't have the same plan as the Army. Isn't it? Tan Renhao leaned back on the sofa, "Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is very irrational to directly attack the West Coast of the United States, and it is also quite difficult. I received all kinds of information on the way. How fast can the Marines take Oahu? Maybe three months, maybe half a year, it's going to take time, and it's not going to be a very short time."

"I've discussed this with Liao Hanxiang, and they are trying to capture Oahu by the end of the year. Maybe until the beginning of next year, but no more than two copies next year at the latest." Can be reprinted in Zhua ~ Xia Zhong%.

"That's going to be 2 next year to lay down Oahu. And our next step is to attack the West Coast of the United States." Tan Renhao was thinking about this question on the road, "The attacking force must be based on Oahu, and the fleet must be based on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. military will definitely destroy Pearl Harbor, how much time will it take for us to repair Pearl Harbor? ”

"Even if the U.S. military doesn't destroy Pearl Harbor, and you have already blown up Pearl Harbor before, it will take us at least half a year to make Pearl Harbor reach a state where it can support more than three ground task forces."

That is to say. We will not be able to launch a combat operation against the United States until the second half of 28. And there is also a precondition for our ground war materiel. Offensive units, including marines. The Air Force, the Strategic Strike Force, and the Army's ground combat units must be assembled in the second half of '28, and intelligence gathering must be completed before then. How likely is this? ”

Gan Yongxing shook his head slightly, indicating that the possibility was very slim.

"Therefore, I don't think it is feasible to directly attack the West Coast of the United States." Tan Renhao took a sip of coffee and continued, "Other than that, we have two choices. One is to enter the Atlantic Ocean and threaten the east coast of the United States. At the same time, this can help Germany defeat Britain, and then, as long as we control the North Atlantic, Britain will lose the support of the United States and will inevitably surrender. Italy will certainly not resist any longer, and will eventually have to surrender. When the time comes, we will have only one enemy, the United States. Moreover, we can also join forces with Germany and the Persian Empire to attack the east coast of the United States, which is relatively ideal."

"So, what about the other option?"

"Mexico." Tan Renhao didn't continue, Gan Yongxing must be able to understand what he meant.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Navy pondered for a moment, then laughed. These are really two options. But I think. Maybe there's a third option." Collected by Hua @ Xia Chinese members

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, waiting for the chief of staff to continue.

"If we can capture Cuba, but also the Bahamas, Bermuda. Then we will be able to deploy a strategic strike force here to carry out a comprehensive strategic bombing of the east coast of the United States and even the Great Lakes region, destroy the center of the real estate industry of the United States, and finally defeat the United States."

"It's an option, but the problem is, the United States is not Japan." Tan Renhao had considered this before, "The United States has extensive defense depth, and when we attack Cuba and other islands. The United States will move its most important factories, and even now the United States is already doing the evacuation work. When the time comes, even if we can put the East Coast of the United States. As well as the Great Lakes region turned into ruins, the United States will not easily succumb . and will retreat inland to continue the resistance."

"If that's the case, then we'll land directly on the east coast of the United States, which is much better than landing on the west coast of the United States, right?"

Tan Renhao smiled reluctantly, he hadn't thought about it that long-term, fundamentally, he didn't support landing on the mainland of the United States, it would be an absolute nightmare for the imperial army.

"Of course, this is just our assumption." Gan Yongxing patted the armrest of the sofa, "The main thing we need now is to assist the principal to persuade the prime minister to let the prime minister give up the army plan and support our plan. As long as the Prime Minister is on our side, then we have a lot of options."

"At least, now we've taken the first step. And it was successful, and the army didn't prove it in any way." Personal Hua $ Summer #Wen Netizen Record

"Yes, that's our advantage."

"So what should I do?" Tan Renhao took the initiative to ask, and he felt that this time he was more active than before.

"Help me refine my next battle plan for the Navy." Gan Yongxing walked to the desk, "This is the most important thing now, the principal is waiting for us to send the battle plan in the capital, without a perfect battle plan, the principal will not be able to convince the prime minister."

Tan Renhao immediately followed.

"First of all, you have to take out the summary battle report of the 'Panama Campaign'." Gan Yongxing assigned a task to Tan Renhao, "Try to write beautifully, I will arrange two staff officers with better writing for you, after you finish writing, let them help polish it, this war report will be submitted directly to the prime minister, maybe the prime minister does not have time to read it in detail, but this is very important, after all, a beautiful report is more convincing than any words."

"No problem, I've already written one. If you revise it again, you can take it out in two days."

"It looks like you've done a lot of work ahead of time." Gan Yongxing immediately picked up a document from the desktop, "That's the best, if you have time, take a look at all the documents here, and some in the archives, find out the situation as soon as possible, and in two days, I will look for you again."

Tan Renhao took the document, and he immediately said goodbye to Gan Yongxing. He felt that he would not stay for too long when he came back this time, and that the best and most effective way to get the prime minister to support the navy was to show results, which required the navy to be more proactive on the battlefield!
