Volume 4 The Empire Strikes Back Section 4 The Capital [1st Update]

The newly opened Sichuan restaurant in Zhoushan City, although Tan Renhao and they all wore regular clothes, but as soon as the boss saw that there was a general in front of him, and there were several senior officers, he immediately became very enthusiastic, and directly discounted them, and warmly invited a few people to taste the signature dishes in the store. Of course, Tan Renhao will not be soft, Lei Shaoqing and Hao Dongjue's families are considered wealthy, and the allowances of both of them have been increased a lot, and if they don't kill them before going to the capital, it will be a big loss.

"Just bring us a portion of your signature dish, and what kind of wine do you have?" Lei Shaoqing is also very generous, he never treats money as money.

"Yes, a few good bottles of wine." Hao Dongjue is almost the same as Lei Shaoqing, just spend it if you have money, and if you don't have money, you will rub other people's.

"Don't have a few bottles of wine or beer, no spirits." Tan Renhao can't get drunk today, "I'm going to the capital with the principal tomorrow, so let's just order it today, everyone can drink and be happy." ”

"How can this work, if you don't drink it, we can't do less." Hao Dongjue immediately shouted: "Boss, let's see a few bottles of good wine, and another bottle of wine for this general." ”

Lei Shaoqing frowned slightly, Hao Dongjue, this guy just can't see the seriousness of the matter.

"It's okay, then you have a good time, but don't be lazy with me these days." Tan Renhao laughed, "He knows the personalities of several subordinates very well.

Soon, the waiter brought the food and drinks, and when he went out, he closed the door.

"What did the marshal take you for?" Luo Yunchong must be concerned about his own plan.

"Discuss the future strategic plan with the minister." Tan Renhao picked up the chopsticks first, "Why are you still so polite, there are no outsiders here, let's do it." ”

Lei Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, and immediately picked up the chopsticks.

"Your plan is doing well, and the principal will definitely support it, though. You know what the problem is. "Tan Renhao doesn't have much appetite, and his amount of food is not very large." This time, the principal called me all the way to the capital, and he must have asked me to find a way to convince the prime minister. If Xue Xiyue supports us in developing heavy bombers, then there will be a lot less problems. Of course, we are not very sure now, after all, it takes a lot of investment to develop a heavy bomber, and if you can do it, how good the effect will be after you can do it. And what is the reaction of the 6th Army, we don't know this. It is impossible for us to make such a major decision based on our demands, and we must also consider the balance of the six seas and the two armies. To put it bluntly, now we can only try our best to convince the prime minister that we are capable enough to defeat Japan without relying on the 6th Army and fighting in the 6th Fudoden 6. ”

Luo Yunchong nodded and pondered for a while and said, "When are you coming out tomorrow?" ”

"Nine o'clock in the morning plane. So I'll have to go back early tonight. You also have to think about how to convince the prime minister. Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly, "Maybe the principal will take me directly to meet him." I can't say nothing then. ”

"Then let's go back early today!" Lei Shaoqing said next to him at this time: "Everyone, don't drink too much, and when Renhao comes back, we'll invite you again." ”

Hao Dongjue still has something to say, Chang Jianxin stepped on him below and said, "Okay, let's eat casually today, after all, business is important." ”

"Nothing, you all drink and be happy. I won't go back with you later. Tan Renhao laughed, "Why are you still stunned, I heard that the chef of this restaurant is very good." ”

That night, Tan Renhao just entertained and returned to the naval headquarters ahead of schedule. Du Xing didn't stay long, he had to send Tan Renhao back.

"How many clothes will the general bring tomorrow?" Du Xing is a bit like Tan Renhao's housekeeper, before Tan Renhao did not ask to accompany the orderlies (the general can already be equipped with orderlies), Du Xing also had to play the role of orderlies.

"Whatever, maybe it won't be for a few days. Just bring a few changes of clothes. Tan Renhao felt a little tired, and after returning to Zhoushan, he was busy every day, "By the way, you have to go with me, and you have to prepare yourself." ”

Duchenne nodded and said nothing. The general's adjutant will generally follow the general inch by his side, and in some special cases, the adjutant himself is the general's personal bodyguard.

The exclusive text version of this work may not be reproduced without permission, and excerpts for more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit bsp; After returning to the dormitory where he was temporarily staying (General Tan Renhaodi's villa has not been arranged for the time being), Tan Renhao carefully considered how to explain to the prime minister the necessity and importance of the navy's heavy bomber. Of course, he still has to figure out how to say these things in front of the prime minister. He had only seen it in the newspaper before, and he didn't know much about Xue Xiyue Xiang, which made him feel a little troublesome, because he didn't know Xiangdi's temper, so he didn't know how to say some things.

The next morning, Tan Renhao rushed to the airport immediately after breakfast. He arrived at the airport at about half past eight, but to his surprise, Marshal Nie Renfeng arrived a few minutes before him. But what surprised him even more was that Luo Yunchong also rushed to the airport.

"Yun Chong, why are you here?" Tan Renhao nodded to Nie Renfeng, who was standing next to the plane.

"I originally wanted to look for you in the dormitory, but I was afraid that you would have left early, so I rushed over." Luo Yunchong stuffed a document into Tan Renhao's hand: "This is what I came up with last night, I just sorted it out, you can take a look on it on the road, maybe it will help you." ”

Tan Renhao was taken aback, then nodded with a smile. "It's really hard for you, don't worry, I'll bring good news when I come back."

Luo Yunchong also smiled and nodded. "Then I won't delay your trip."

After saying goodbye to Luo Yunchong, Tan Renhao walked directly to the dual-engine transport plane.

"That person is Major Luo Yunchong?" Nie Renfeng seemed very patient.

"Yes, it's him, that's what he wrote last night." Tan Renhao patted the folder in his hand: "Principal, let's board the plane, we can just look at this thing on the way." ”

Nie Renfeng glanced at Luo Yunchong's back, then nodded slightly, and boarded the plane first. Then Tan Renhao also got on the plane, after the two adjutants got on the plane. The transport plane, which had a distance of 35oo kilometers, slowly glided and then left the runway and took to the skies. Fly straight in the direction of the imperial capital.

Historically, there were three Tang Empires, all of which were originally in Chang'an (now Xi'an, also known as Xijing), after the first Zhongxing, the Tang Empire was in Luoyang (then known as the Eastern Capital), and after the Constitutional Revolution (also known as the Third Civil War "Industrial Revolution"), the capital of the Tang Empire was transferred to Yanjing (now Beijing). Other than that. Historically, during the Second Civil War of the Empire, the capital was Jiankang (now Nanjing) for a short time. Therefore, the Tang Empire actually had four capitals, east, west, north and south, and the current capital is Beijing.

It takes about 6 hours to fly from Zhoushan to Beijing, and Tan Renhao hurried up to read the documents given to him by Luo Yunchong. And he was also very surprised, Luo Yunchong only learned some very basic information from him, and as a result, he took a feasibility report on the heavy bomber of the Hainan Air Show in one night, in which he expounded the necessity and importance of the heavy bomber. This made Tan Renhao wonder if Luo Yunchong had already made this report. It's just that it wasn't handed over to him before.

"Headmaster. Maybe we can really convince the prime minister. ”

Nie Renfeng is also reading this report. He put down the document in his hand and said, "This report is very well written. But the question is, what will be the attitude of the 6th air show in the case of our heavy bombers? In addition, can we convince the Prime Minister that strategic bombing alone can force Japan to surrender? In addition, even if we start building heavy bombers now, we will need at least half a year to prepare, and in fact we will only have half a year of combat time, which is very unrealistic. ”

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, Nie Renfeng considered the problem much more comprehensively than him.

"But we can't help but fight for it." Nie Renfeng laughed, "Of course." I also believe that Xue Xiyue is very visionary, and now we have no better plan. ”

Nie Renfeng's words are very realistic, if there is no better planning, then there is no doubt that this is the only option.

When the plane arrived over the capital, several fighter jets flew over, and Tan Renhao was startled at first. But soon it was the Imperial Ground Fighter. In fact, the imperial capital is still very safe, at least the Japanese bombers can't fly here. There were hundreds of anti-aircraft fighters deployed around the imperial capital, and even if the Japanese bombers could fly over, there was probably no way to break through the air defense cafes over the capital.

Beijing was not the largest city in the empire, and after World War I, Songjiang (later Shanghai) became the most populous city in the empire, and the largest city in the empire. However, Beijing is still an international metropolis with a population of nearly 3 million, a very large urban area and several business districts, with Wangfujing being the most famous. In addition, the palace complex in the center of the city is also very magnificent. It was the new palace that the empire spent more than fifty years building. In terms of scale, it is not smaller than the imperial palaces of Xijing and Dongdu.

When the vehicle drove into the city, Tan Renhao immediately felt the grandeur of the imperial capital. Especially when passing through Wangfujing Street, Tan Renhao sighed that compared with Beijing, Qingdao, Shenyang, and Hangzhou he went to before can only be regarded as small cities, and I am afraid that only the scale and prosperity of Songjiang City can be compared with Beijing. The more than 10 buildings with a height of more than 100 meters alone are extremely majestic, and the most eye-catching is naturally the "Empire State Building". With 88 floors and a spire of 3,2 meters high, it is the tallest building in the world. It is also the most obvious landmark of the imperial capital and a symbol of the empire's strength.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the southwest of the Imperial Palace, which is a bit shabby compared to those high-rise buildings, which are dominated by traditional courtyard buildings of the Empire. However, the scale of the Xiangfu is not small, and the three big characters of "Xiangfu" written by Zhang Shaoting on a blind date back then are very individual, plus a pair of lions with teeth and claws outside the gate, giving people a very majestic feeling. This reminded Tan Renhao of the pair of lions outside Chai Jinbiao's house, but at most, they could only be regarded as two little lions, and the real lions outside the mansion were the real lions.

Nie Renfeng and Tan Renhao did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, but arrived at the Navy Hotel first. This is the Navy's hotel in the capital, which is specially designed to receive naval officers and generals from other places. This is also where Tan Renhao stayed, of course, his room is large, and the view is good on the top floor of the hotel. Nie Renfeng doesn't live here. The Imperial Navy also has a headquarters in the capital, that is, the Imperial Navy Military Department. Now the Admiralty has been abolished and merged into the newly established Admiralty, although the Naval Admiralty complex remains. The commander of the Navy had his own housing there. Perhaps the successive commanders of the Navy only came here for a few days a year.

After Nie Renfeng left, Tan Renhao entered the hotel, and then arrived in his room with the help of a young man in the uniform of a naval captain. Du Xing immediately went to familiarize himself with the situation of the hotel and learn about the situation in the capital. Anyway, he must have a lot to do as an adjutant, including going to the hotel to borrow a car, so that Tan Renhao can travel conveniently.

Tan Renhao himself stayed in the room, and the window was Beihai Park, originally he also wanted to go around the park to see this world-famous royal garden, but he thought of going to meet each other, and Ren Hao gave up this idea, took out the information he had prepared, and prepared to hurry up and review, if he made a fool of himself in front of the prime minister, he was embarrassed alone, it was nothing, but he could make the navy lose face and let the navy miss a great opportunity, then he was the sinner of the imperial navy through the ages.

However, Nie Renfeng was not in a hurry to take him to meet the prime minister, and he did not contact Tan Renhao for three days, as if he had forgotten Tan Renhao. This made Tan Renhao a little overwhelmed. Of course, this also gave Tan Renhao the opportunity to get familiar with the bustling atmosphere of the capital.

On this day, he called Liao Yingyu and wrote a five-page letterhead according to Liao Yingyu's "request", and then called Du Xing to Beihai Park. Spring is approaching, and the park is full of flowers and many tourists. Since the opening of this royal garden to the people of the Empire, it has become the most visited park in the capital. And now there are a lot of people in the park, and after Tan Renhao turned around for half a circle, he simply found a place to sit down and feel the breath of spring, which is a breath that cannot be felt on the sea.
