Vol.16 The Storm Strikes the Shore Section 24 Brotherhood [4th Update]
By the time Tan Renhao and Huang Xiaotian arrived, Lei Shaoqing, Chang Jianxin and Hao Dongjue were already waiting in the private room of the hotel introduced by Gan Yongxing. The position was ordered by Tan Renhao to Du Xing, which can be regarded as giving face to the chief of staff.
"I just said that if Tan Renhao wants to send his father-in-law, it will definitely take a lot of time, and it is strange not to be late." Hao Dongjue's voice is the biggest among the five, Tan Renhao, it's hard for you today, and you will definitely be scolded when you go back at night, but don't worry, there are a few brothers covering, keep you okay. ”
Tan Renhao rolled his eyes, if it weren't for the presence of so many people, he would have kicked Hao Dongjue downstairs.
"Dongjue, you can save it, aren't you still making it up at the beginning, how to explain it to Qinglian when you go back at night? If you talk about Renhao and say a few unpleasant words, you kid will have to sleep on the floor at night! Lei Shaoqing immediately came out to help Tan Renhao relieve the siege.
"Floor? I don't know how to sleep on the floor! Hao Dongjue immediately walked next to Lei Shaoqing, "I brought back all the hammocks on the battleship this time, it's a big deal, I'll sleep in a hammock!" ”
At this moment, several people laughed, Hao Dongjue was indeed a bastard.
Soon, the boss brought the wine and food in, just like the last time Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing came to eat, the boss didn't say a word, and didn't delay for a minute more, and immediately left the room with the waiter after letting the waiter put down the wine and food.
"This boss is very mysterious Tan Renhao, have you investigated, is this person reliable?"
"Don't worry, the chief of staff introduced it, the boss is the chief of staff's old subordinate back then." Tan Renhao picked up the chopsticks, "Everyone eat something first, Shaoqing, Dongjue, and Xiaotian, you have been running around for a day today, even if I and Lao Chang set up a reception banquet for you." Eat first, fill your stomach, and then we drink! ”
The five people immediately moved their chopsticks, not only Lei Shaoqing and the three of them were hungry, but Tan Renhao and Chang Jianxin were also busy for a day. And after waiting for more than an hour, I was already hungry. The five of them devoured it in fifteen minutes. Most of the food on the table was swept away, and if anyone else saw it, they couldn't believe that sitting in this room were five of the most famous young admirals of the Imperial Navy, and four of them were fleet commanders, and the other was also a former fleet commander. Now the commander of the theater fleet. This also fully shows that the five of them are still young people, not only have a good appetite, but also do not care about the traditional etiquette that has lasted for hundreds of years in the navy.
"Yes, yes, this elbow tastes very good." Hao Dongjue is the worst one among the five people, "Is Ren Hao paying today?" ”
Chang Jianxin immediately laughed, Hao Dongjue must have itchy skin.
"It seems that Ren Hao pays for it, so let's have another copy."
Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, not waiting for him to get up. Huang Xiaotian went to call the waiter over and asked the waiter to bring them another Dongpo elbow. After a while, the waiter brought in the dishes, and it seems that the boss had specially instructed that the guests in this room should be given priority.
"Let's have a drink first." Tan Renhao raised his glass, "Now that everyone is going their separate ways, it is rare to get together once, there is nothing to pity, now that we have all become commanders, then we should be a bit of a commander, this glass of wine, even if I respect you." ”
"Renhao, this glass of wine should actually be our toast to you." It is often recommended that the new one finish. He looked at the others, and the other three followed.
"Then we don't care who respects whom. Dry this cup first. Tan Renhao didn't say much about it, and drank all the wine in the cup first.
The other four people also drank all the wine in the glass, Huang Xiaotian picked up the wine bottle first, and filled it for Tan Renhao first, and then filled it for the other three in order, and finally poured himself a glass.
"There's a saying that I never had a chance to talk to you before." Tan Renhao's expression was slightly excited, "Many people think that I can have where I am today is due to the cultivation of the principal, my own efforts, and my luck better than others." At that time, I knew that without the help of my brothers, I might still be just an ordinary officer. ”
"Renhao, it's actually been you helping us all the time." Lei Shaoqing also spoke at this time, "If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have today's achievements." ”
"Yes, if you hadn't brought out the First Task Force in the first place, I'm afraid we wouldn't know which headquarters we would be a staff officer in now." Huang Xiaotian also felt it.
Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head. "No matter who is grateful to whom, I know that if we generals from humble backgrounds didn't help each other, none of us would be where we are today. Of course, this sentence is just for us to say in private. ”
The other four all nodded, talking about Renhao's words to the point.
"Now, it can be said that it is an eventful time. This time, the Headmaster has brought you all back, and there are many other important things to deal with besides discussing the next phase of combat operations. Tan Renhao sighed, "The situation in China is a bit complicated now, I talked to Xiaotian in the afternoon, what is the specific matter, I can't tell you yet, it's not that I'm not enough brothers, after all, we are all soldiers, and we all have to be disciplined." And you all have to understand that at this time, we cannot afford any failures and setbacks. ”
The expressions of the four people became serious, Tan Renhao's words were quite serious, even if Tan Renhao didn't say what happened, the four of them felt that it must be a very bad thing.
"The principal talked to me the night he came back." Tan Renhao leaned back in his chair, and while the other four people lit cigarettes, he continued, "The current situation is very complicated, and the Navy's top priority is to take down Australia as soon as possible." The army is also under great pressure, and the war against Russia has not been able to end for a long time, and Yan Dingyu is about to be unable to step down. And in the past few days, the principal and the chief of staff have been worrying about this matter. Although the Anglo-French joint expeditionary fleet has been resolved, the situation in the Pacific Ocean is not at all optimistic. Shaoqing, you should have read the battle plan submitted by Yan Guozhong, right? ”
Lei Shaoqing nodded slightly. "I've probably seen that the fleet's battle plan was drafted by me, and according to General Yan Guozhong's campaign arrangement, I'm afraid that this time we have to concentrate all the ground fleets in the southwest Pacific."
"The situation is similar, although the Fourth Task Force will continue to remain in the Central Pacific Theater, but now the Navy has more than a dozen escort aircraft carriers in service, and these escort aircraft carriers will be incorporated into the support formation of the landing fleet. It is only responsible for providing aviation support to the Marine Corps, which is probably comparable to Task Force 4. Tan Renhao lay on the edge of the table, "In other words, we have concentrated almost all our forces to launch a combat operation against Australia. This operation can only win. It cannot be defeated, and it must be a quick victory, at least the first stage of the landing operation must be completed as soon as possible. Lay the foundation for victory on the battlefield of the Australian continent. This is the most urgent and important task before us, and this time we have brought you back in order to determine the combat operation. ”
"Then you're still in charge of assisting the Chief of Staff here?" Hao Dongjue frowned slightly.
"At least until Task Force 1 is back in combat, I'll have to stay at the Naval Command." Tan Renhao smiled bitterly, "Anyway." Now that Zheng Guanhua is watching, and the chief of staff has arranged for special personnel to be in charge of the maintenance of the first task force and the third task force, I and Chang Chang have nothing to worry about. ”
"I'll go to Guangzhou in a few days, and I've already told the chief of staff in the afternoon." Chang Jian Xin flicked off the cigarette butts, "Some of the maintenance work of the Third Task Force has to be transferred to other shipyards, Gu Zhenyun can't take care of it alone, and I don't have anything to do here." ”
"And what is the attitude of the chief of staff?" Tan Renhao went to the airport in the afternoon, so he didn't know about Chang Jianxin going to Gan Yongxing.
"I haven't answered yet, and the chief of staff is quite busy."
"Then you don't need to rush to Guangzhou, if the principal is not in a hurry to transfer the battleships of the Southwest Pacific Theater Fleet to the South Atlantic Theater Theater. I'm afraid I will arrange for you to exchange Li Wenlong back first. Tan Renhao was just guessing, "Li Wenlong should also come back, the First Task Force will add an aircraft carrier battle group this time, and I just need him to organize the training work, when the time comes." It can also let him continue to be the captain of the flagship. ”
Chang Jianxin immediately laughed, Li Wenlong had been the captain of Tan Renhao for several years.
"Ren Hao, how is the matter with Lao Lei?" At the mention of Li Wenlong, Hao Dongjue opened the question, and after asking this question, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"I was just trying to talk to you about it." Tan Renhao's gaze immediately turned to Hao Dongjue's body, "Did you kid drop out of school before graduating from elementary school?" Don't think I don't know what you're doing in Task Force 2! ”
Hao Dongjue scratched his scalp, and then looked at Lei Shaoqing. Lei Shaoqing felt very innocent in his heart. He had just met Tan Renhao, and he didn't have time to give a small report to Tan Renhao.
"Don't look at it. Didn't Shaoqing tell me about this, you kid made such a big fuss, who do you think you can hide it from? "To deal with my brother-in-law, Tan Renhao will not be soft." Don't think that now that you're the commander of the fleet and set up your own door, I won't be able to clean you up. If I'm going to clean you up, you'll have to be happy. If the headmaster has the heart to clean you up, you won't even be able to cry! ”
"Renhao, this matter is in the past, and Dongjue has also corrected his mistakes, so there is no need for us to pursue it." Seeing that Tan Renhao was really angry, Lei Shaoqing immediately came out to relieve the siege.
"Yes, since the principal didn't pursue the matter, and Dong Jue knows that his mistakes can be corrected, forget it." Chang Jianxin also hurried out to say good things to Hao Dongjue.
Huang Xiaotian patted Hao Dongjue next to him, and he could only support Hao Dongjue mentally.
"I won't tell you much about this now, but you should know that if you make the same mistake again, don't talk about me, even if it is a few of us, plus the chief of staff, Yan Guozhong comes forward to protect you, you will be finished!" Tan Renhao was just angry, and when he saw Hao Dongjue lowering his head, he could only sigh, "Reflect on it, if you knew that you were like this in the Second Task Force, I wouldn't have let you go to the Second Task Force in the first place!" ”
"I don't want to go yet!" Hao Dongjue muttered in a low voice.
Tan Renhao heard it very clearly, and just as he was about to get angry, Chang Zhixin immediately grabbed him, and Lei Shaoqing immediately patted Hao Dongjue's head.
"Renhao, forget it, Dongjue doesn't have a heart."
Tan Renhao held back his anger. "Dongjue, I'm not blaming you, do you know why I left you in Task Force 1 for so long? I've talked to you about this, and now that you've become a fleet commander, you should act like a fleet commander! ”
Hao Dongjue also knew that he had gone a little too far at first, so he nodded slightly, without looking into Tan Renhao's eyes.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things." Lei Shaoqing immediately diverted the topic, "Ren Hao, I haven't seen my godson yet, when, you have to make up for the full moon wine, this meal doesn't count!" ”
"Yes, this meal definitely doesn't count, and besides, Xiaobao has so many godfathers, we should also invite back, when the time comes, everyone will come in turn, and no one will take the lead!" Chang Jianxin patted Tan Renhao's shoulder as he spoke.
Tan Renhao glared at Hao Dongjue, then shook his head. "When we're free, let's talk about it, Xiaobao's full moon wine is indispensable to you, if you want to be a godfather, then you have to show some sincerity."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and the atmosphere relaxed. After chatting about a relaxed topic for a while, Hao Dongjue, who was still a little depressed at the beginning, became excited again. Tan Renhao didn't blame Hao Dongjue anymore, even if Hao Dongjue was his brother-in-law, he knew that Hao Dongjue was dignified, and he had already said that seriously enough. Of course, Tan Renhao would only use this tone to Hao Dongjue, if he had changed someone else, he would not be so fierce.
The meal lasted until half past ten, with several dishes added and two more bottles of wine ordered. Chang recommended the new, Hao Dongjue and Huang Xiaotian both drank high, but Tan Renhao and Lei Shaoqing didn't drink much, both of them had things on their minds, so they have been trying to restrain themselves.
"Boss, boss, another bottle of Erguotou!"
Seeing that Hao Dongjue was asking for wine again, Tan Renhao immediately gave Lei Shaoqing a look, Lei Shaoqing grabbed Hao Dongjue, and Tan Renhao shook his hand at the waiter who pushed the door open, asking the waiter not to send wine in.
"Shaoqing, you look at them, I'll call the adjutant, that's all for today!"
After a while, the three lieutenants ran in and helped their chief out of the hotel. At this time, there are only them in the store, and fortunately, otherwise, a few admirals will get drunk and make trouble, and they will definitely become the headlines of the Zhoushan Morning News tomorrow!
