The Navy will provide envoy dresses for officers and generals, but most admirals will ask tailors to make their own dresses, for the simple reason that mass-produced dresses will be better. The Imperial Navy was originally an "aristocratic" army, and the allowances of the admirals were frighteningly high, and the treatment of the officers and men of the navy was a hundred times better than that of the 6th Army. Once, an officer of the 6th Army visited the battleship, and as a result, the meal of the most ordinary officers and men of the Navy was regarded as the best delicacy in the world. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the admirals of the imperial navy hired their own people to make their own dresses, which was a sign of the navy's "aristocratic" status.

Tan Renhao naturally wouldn't be stingy with so much money, but he didn't let him pay yet. Lei Shaoqing was happy after knowing that he had been approved to be promoted to commodore and was very likely to become the commander of the fleet, so he took out his pocket to make a complete set of dresses, and also helped Tan Renhao make a complete set of dresses by the way, a total of eight dresses. These sixteen dresses cost Lei Shaoqing a total of more than 50,000 yuan, but this "rich boy" didn't care at all, he was the third admiral from Wenzhou, and as soon as his father heard the news, he immediately remitted 100,000 yuan, and asked Lei Shaoqing to take a good look in the army, thank those bosses, colleagues, etc. It seems that Lei Shaoqing and his father regard the navy as a shopping mall and officialdom.

"How's that handsome?" Lei Shaoqing's figure is a little more burly than Tan Renhao, and after wearing the dress, he looks more upright and majestic.

"Don't look in the mirror, do you think this is still the dance at the graduation ceremony?" Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head: "Be careful, I'll give you that freckled girl, what's her name?" ”

"Don't mess around with me, be careful, I'll go to Miss Liao and say a few words, your baby can't eat, go around!"

Both of them laughed, Tan Renhao had already seen that Lei Shaoqing was just talking and playing with the nurse sister, and he never took Lei Shaoqing's "playboy" character seriously. He's probably still in love when he's thirty years old.

When the two came to Marshal Nie Renfeng's villa, the banquet was already about to start. All the admirals and important officers who remained in Zhoushan attended the banquet. A number of other generals from nearby bases also rushed over. Tan Renhao didn't see General Wu Xianyu, he thought that Wu Xianyu would also rush over. Liao Hanxiang didn't show up at the banquet, and it seemed that he was still busy preparing for the bombing of Japan outside.

The inspection of the Zhoushan Naval Headquarters by Prime Minister Zong Han Qin was probably the most important activity of the Naval Headquarters after the start of the war. In the traditions of the empire. As the acting commander of the army (the nominal emperor is the commander of the imperial ** team), during the war, he will definitely visit the headquarters of the 6 seas and two armies. Xue Xiyue had already inspected the Sixth Army Headquarters before he was assassinated, and he had planned to inspect the Navy Headquarters in September, but it turned out to be so unfortunate. The task of inspecting the naval headquarters also fell to the prime minister Zong Hanqin, who came to the naval headquarters in mid-November after stabilizing the situation in the capital and making some adjustments to the cabinet government.

On the first day of his arrival, Prime Minister Zonghan and Qin inspected the aircraft carrier "Yellow River" of the First Task Force anchored in Zhoushan Port. Then. He went to the dockyard again to inquire about the maintenance of the battleship. He visited the wounded at the Navy General Hospital, and listened to briefings by Nie Renfeng and Gan Yongxing in the evening. The next day, Zong Hanqin continued to inspect several important military installations. At five o'clock in the afternoon, he came to Marshal Nie Renfeng's villa, which was also the temporary place for the prime minister. The banquet was scheduled to officially start at seven o'clock, and it was already six thirty-five when Tan Renhao and Lei Shaoqing arrived.

"Hao Dongjue, they're here." Lei Shaoqing glanced towards the door.

Hao Dongjue, who was wearing a brand-new colonel uniform, and Chang Jianxin strode in, and as soon as they saw Tan Renhao and Lei Shaoqing standing next to the flower stand, they immediately walked over quickly. When Lei Shaoqing was promoted to brigadier general, they were also promoted to a colonel of the navy. According to Tan Renhao's speculation, one of the two will definitely become the chief of staff of the fleet.

"How's this dress going?" Hao Dongjue was a little excited.

"Not bad. At least it makes you look serious! Tan Renhao laughed. The new navy dress looks even more imposing.

This is almost completely different from the style of the previous navy dress. The last set of navy dresses focused on the three flavors of the navy: "dignity", "nobility" and "refreshing". And this kind of dress, which was redesigned after the outbreak of war, focused on only one aspect, and that was "majesty". This is also the same atmosphere as in wartime, the current war situation is the worst in the history of the empire, and the change in dress on the ground actually reflects the situation on the battlefield.

"Hey, it's still a little worse than you!" Hao Dongjue looked at Tan Renhao and Lei Shaoqing with a little envy. Then he shook his head: "It seems that I will have to find Shaoqing to change his clothes in the future, and let me know what it feels like to wear a general's uniform." ”

"You kid will be content, but I believe it won't be long before you will wear the general's dress!" Lei Shaoqing smiled and patted Hao Dongjue's shoulder. The biggest difference between the general's dress and the officer's dress is that in terms of accessories, the accessories of the general's dress are obviously much more luxurious. Of course, those golden accessories also made the price of the general's dress a lot more expensive, otherwise it would not have cost Lei Shaoqing tens of thousands.

"By the way, Ren Hao heard that the new fleet commander is going to be determined, is there such a thing?" The new recommendation opened the topic, which is knowingly asked.

"Yes, I heard that there is still going to be a second task force to be established, and there are two commanders and two chiefs of staff positions vacated at once." Hao Dongjue also said, "Shaoqing will definitely be the new commander." Ren Hao, you know the candidates for the other three positions, right? ”

Tan Renhao smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I'll know this when I become the commander of the navy." This is a major personnel arrangement for the Navy, do you think I am qualified to participate in such an important personnel decision? ”

Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin both sighed, obviously they were also thinking about their future.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, the banquet is about to start!" Lei Shaoqing took the topic away, in fact, he also knew that Tan Renhao's current position was very embarrassing, and the support and trust of their friends were extremely important to Tan Renhao.

At the beginning of the banquet, Gan Yongxing, on behalf of the Imperial Navy, welcomed the acting prime minister to come and inspect, and then Zong Hanqin made an encouraging speech. Zong Hanqin's eloquence was very good, much stronger than Xue Xiyue's, and his speech also drove the atmosphere in the venue. Then. The banquet began. In fact, in addition to welcoming the prime minister, this is also a chance for the generals to relax.

"Ren Hao, you know about the personnel arrangements of the fleet, right?" When he walked to the corner of the garden, Lei Shaoqing asked.

Tan Renhao let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I know you're having a hard time, but we're just trying to get some news first. You know that, too. Brothers, you've been together for so long, everyone has been with you, and now that you're in the Western Pacific Command, who will we rely on in the future? ”

"Shaoqing, you have to have confidence in yourself. Suffice it to say, this promotion to brigadier general is to make you the commander of the fleet. ”

"What about Dongjue and Lao Chang?" Lei Shaoqing looked at Tan Renhao.

"This ......," Tan Renhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not easy to say, but it's for sure." One of them will become chief of staff. The other may be assigned to another unit. Of course, this is just my speculation, and how it will be arranged. Maybe there will be news at the end of this month. ”

"How so? They were all the best staff officers in Task Force 1, and they all had their own strengths, didn't the Headmaster know that......"

At this time, Tan Renhao saw two people, and his gaze immediately shifted to it. Lei Shaoqing also closed his mouth and looked at Tan Renhao's gaze. When the two of them saw clearly the ranks on the shoulders of the two people who were walking towards them, they suddenly knew what to expect.

"Major General Tan Renhao, congratulations!"

"Brigadier General Jiang Zhongmin also congratulates you on your promotion by leaping the ranks!" Tan Renhao glanced at the brigadier rank on Jiang Zhongmin's shoulder, and then glanced at Colonel Fan Peikun next to him. Didn't say hello to Van Peikun at all.

"No matter what you say, we can't compare to you." Jiang Zhongmin smiled and looked at Lei Shaoqing: "Brigadier General Lei Shaoqing also congratulates you, I believe you will become the best fleet commander in the empire." ”

"Brigadier General Jiang Zhongmin, how can I compare with you? I'm afraid you are a new star in the Imperial Navy after Rear Admiral Tan Renhao! Lei Shaoqing's words were too poisonous. Obviously looking at Jiang Zhongmin is lifting Jiang Zhongmin, but in fact, he stepped Jiang Zhongmin under Tan Renhao with one foot.

"Hehe, actually, I've been learning from you. Although I am also a cadet of the Imperial Naval Academy, I am really not as good as the two! Jiang Zhongmin still looked so modest, and he didn't take Lei Shaoqing's sarcasm to heart at all: "The achievements of the First Task Force are obvious to all, and the ability of General Renhao is also seen by everyone. If I'm lucky enough to be the next Fleet Commander, I'm afraid I'll never be able to talk about Rear Admiral Ren Hao! ”

Tan Renhao was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately grabbed Lei Shaoqing, who was about to explode. "Brigadier General, in fact, I have always admired you, and of course I also believe that you will repay the principal for his kindness with excellent results!"

"Of course, as the emperor, we naturally take serving the country as our own responsibility and go into battle to kill the enemy......"

"Humph!" Before Fan Peikun's words were finished, Lei Shaoqing snorted coldly: "Colonel, I believe you should see clearly that there is no place for the school official here!" ”

Fan Peikun's face changed, and then he gritted his teeth and endured it. In school, he can show off his might, but in the army, a small circle of strict classes, military rank is everything.

"General Jiang Zhongmin, if possible, we can have a good exchange of experience and experience in fleet operations in the future." Tan Renhao didn't have much disgust with Jiang Zhongmin, "According to the principal, you are a popular candidate for the commander of the new fleet, and here, I will congratulate you in advance!" ”

"General Tan, you're laughing at me." Jiang Zhongmin laughed: "To be honest, it should be me learning from you and asking you for advice." As for whether it will be the next fleet commander, we still have to follow the principal's arrangement, right? ”

"Of course!" Tan Renhao glanced at Fan Peikun, who was very embarrassed: "Since this is the case, then we will have a lot of time to communicate in the future." If you don't mind......"

"It just so happens that I'm going to find some old friends, so let's say goodbye for the time being!" Jiang Zhongmin left very interestingly, he didn't forget to call Fan Peikun, who was still very unwilling.

"How could Ren Hao be like this?" Lei Shaoqing couldn't help it a little, "Listening to Jiang Zhongmin's words, this time he will be the commander of the First Task Force, is this really the way the principal arranged?" ”

"I don't know, but I think there's a reason why the principal arranged it this way!"

"The reason? Damn, the first task force is our foundation, don't the headmaster really know what it does! Lei Shaoqing was almost about to roar, "And that Fan Peikun is like that, and he was promoted to colonel, could he be the chief of staff?" The headmaster has always been shrewd, could he really ...... this time?"

"Say no more!" Tan Renhao glanced around, "There is a reason for how the principal did and how he arranged it." I never doubted the headmaster's gaze. Jiang Zhongmin's ability will not be much worse, and ......"

"And that Van Peikun is just rubbish, if he is made chief of staff......"

"Hey!" Tan Renhao sighed, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Lei Shaoqing probably had enough, he gritted his teeth and didn't say the rest of the words. In fact, Tan Renhao is the most innocent, he doesn't know the arrangement made by the principal at all.

"Forget it, anyway, let's do our job first, won't we?" Tan Renhao grabbed Lei Shaoqing's shoulder: "Your position will definitely be guaranteed, listen to the tone of the chief of staff, and you will determine the candidate for the chief of staff of the fleet at that time, just like when I recommended you." If the results really surprise us, I want you to do one thing well. ”

"What?" Lei Shaoqing took out a cigarette, and his hands were still trembling slightly because of anger.

"Try to get the backbone of the First Task Force to your subordinates, and Dongjue will not talk about it. The other staff officers are to try to get your hands on you. See what I mean? ”

Lei Shaoqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Tan Renhao didn't say anything more, and this was the only thing he could do now!
