The next day, Tan Renhao was about to leave the Zhoushan Navy Headquarters, he was not in a hurry to report to Qingdao, but wanted to leave here as soon as possible, because he knew that he could not explain the changes to a few friends.

"Chief of Staff, why are you here?"

"I'm here to send you!" Gan Yongxing smiled and beckoned to Tan Renhao: "Get in the car, I'll take you to the airport." ”

"This ......," Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment and called Du Xing over, "You drive behind, do you have all the luggage with you?" ”

"Bring it all with you, rest assured!"

Tan Renhao got into Gan Yongxing's car. This is a bulletproof sedan specially assigned to senior generals with specific positions, the interior is luxuriously decorated, and there is a partition made of armored steel between the rear cockpit and the driver in front, and a window made of bulletproof glass is installed on it.

"Are you ready for the job?" Gan Yongxing took out a cigarette.

"I've already contacted General Wu Xianyu, he helped me make arrangements over there, probably after that, there will be a lot of things for me to do!" Tan Renhao took the cigarette and let out a sigh, he didn't rush to say the doubts in his heart.

"Well, it's better than nothing to do, isn't it?" Gan Yongxing smiled and glanced at Tan Renhao, "I heard that you met Jiang Zhongmin and Fan Peikun yesterday?" ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask. After all, he is no longer the commander of the fleet, and it is a bit suspicious to ask about the fleet.

"I know what you think, I saw Lei Shaoqing yesterday, his face is not very good-looking." Gan Yongxing smiled and shook his head: "Originally, I don't need to tell you about these things, but I think it's better to let you know a little bit." Do you know about the new fleet staffing arrangements? ”

Tan Renhao frowned slightly. "I guessed a little."

"The headmaster has officially proposed the matter of the fleet's personnel arrangements to the acting prime minister last night, and the acting minister has also approved the president's proposal." Gan Yongxing closed the front window, "Jiang Zhongmin will be the commander of the 1st Task Force." Van Pei Kun is Chief of Staff. Lei Shaoqing will be the commander and chief of staff of the newly formed Second Task Force, and the candidate will be recommended by Lei Shaoqing. ”

Tan Renhao gritted his teeth, which was almost the same as his guess.

"You have to understand that the headmaster also has a hard time." Gan Yongxing extinguished the cigarette butt and lit another one: "Fan Peikun got engaged to Miss Zong Yuhui last month. ”

"Zong Yuhui?" Tan Renhao frowned slightly, "Wasn't he pursuing Bei Kexin before?" ”

"You're talking about the granddaughter of Marshal Saditin? They have long blown it. I've heard from others, too. Gan Yongxing smiled and shook his head, "Today's young people are quite open-minded, and it is almost impossible to give birth to such a thing in our era." By the way, do you know who Zong Yuhui is? ”

Tan Renhao shook his head slightly, but he had already guessed most of it.

"She is the niece of Zong Han Qin, and the younger brother of Zong Han Qin died twelve years ago, Zong Yuhui has always been raised by Zong Yuhui, just like his own daughter."

"!" Tan Renhao personally scolded that there was such a relationship. It's no wonder that Van Peikun can do it without any exploits. Jumped from captain to colonel in a year.

"Don't complain too much, after all, the situation in the empire is not as good as we think, is it?" Gan Yongxing patted Tan Renhao's shoulder. "Actually, I was very opposed to this personnel arrangement at the time. But this time, it was directly hinted at by someone from the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister didn't say hello directly, but the relationship between them is very clear. Now there are contradictions between the Navy and the 6th Army in terms of war materials, bombing Japan, and operations in the South Seas, etc., and we need to support each other on behalf of each other, and the principal has to make concessions! ”

"But this is burying the First Task Force!" Tan Renhao's hands were trembling slightly, but the First Task Force was his home. "Chief of Staff, I can't believe it. Right. I admit that Jiang Zhongmin is indeed qualified to be the commander of the fleet, although I don't know him very well, after all, my classmates have known him a little bit for so many years. But what kind of person Fan Peikun is, the principal should be very clear. If he hadn't bribed the instructor to get a few exam questions, would he have been able to wear a gold medal? If he is made the chief of staff of the 1st Task Force. It's better to disband Task Force 1 directly! ”

"So what can we do?" Gan Yongxing looked at Tan Renhao.

Tan Renhao let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know much about your students, but what can we do?" Gan Yongxing sighed: "The principal is also very conflicted. The principal is very aware of the abilities of the students he has cultivated, otherwise the principal would not have used you back then. You should be aware of that, but don't assume that the headmaster doesn't know anything. ”

Tan Renhao nodded, of course he knew that the principal was by no means the kind of mediocre person, but the principal had already succumbed.

"Let's put it this way, the headmaster still has a hand." Gan Yongxing laughed: "The principal only determined the commanders and chiefs of staff of the two fleets, but did not determine other personnel arrangements, and did not determine the size of the fleet. ”

"What do you mean?" Tan Renhao was shocked, and immediately saw a little hope.

"The exclusive text version of this work may not be reproduced without permission, excerpts, more latest and fastest chapters, please visit! Isn't that simple? If the combination of Jiang Zhongmin and Fan Peikun doesn't work, the principal can easily change the configuration of the two fleets. For example, nominally retaining the number of the 1st Task Force, but in fact transferring the warships that should have belonged to the 2nd Task Force to the 1st Task Force, making the 2nd Task Force the main fleet. Of course, the number has not changed, the personnel arrangement has not changed, only the actual size of the fleet. This is still within the principal's purview, isn't it? ”

Tan Renhao immediately laughed, obviously the principal did keep a hand, and it was a very powerful hand.

"You should be relieved now, right?"

"Chief of Staff, can you do me a favor?" Tan Renhao suddenly thought of something.

"If you say you can do it, I'll definitely help!" Gan Yongxing replied very briskly.

"If you can, try to transfer the staff officers of the First Task Force to Lei Shaoqing's men!"

Gan Yongxing hesitated for a moment and then laughed: "No problem, I can still do this little thing." I asked Lei Shaoqing to submit a personnel transfer application form by himself, which would be much easier. ”

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded, as long as he could keep the backbone of the First Task Force, no matter how much Fan Peikun ruined the naval fleet. He can stand it!

In the afternoon, Tan Renhao arrived at the Qingdao Naval Base. Wu Xianyu personally came to the airport to greet him, which was the same as Tan Renhao's prediction. Wu Xianyu looks a little older, and his white head has come out, but he is very energetic. As the commander of the Western Pacific Theater, Wu Xianyu's main job is actually to be responsible for military mobilization and material preparation in the Western Pacific region, and does not involve specific combat operations. At least. Before the theater was expanded, most of the combat operations were still in charge of the Navy Command, and the Western Pacific Theater Command was almost a shelf.

"How were you doing along the way?"

"At least there was nothing wrong with the plane!" Tan Renhao laughed: "General Wu, you seem to have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Really? I thought I had reached the age of blessing! Wu Xianyu also laughed: "I rushed over when I received your news, I didn't expect to become a major general so soon, and I was about to pass me!" ”

Tan Renhao laughed awkwardly, it was just a good-natured joke.

"The other day. General Liao Hanxiang came once. He was also very happy when he heard the news of your promotion. Originally, we were going to give you a pick-up here, but yesterday. There was something happening in North Korea, so he hurried over and asked me to take him to say hello to you! ”

"I should say hello to you." Tan Renhao smiled shyly: "By the way, what's going on in North Korea?" ”

"Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow, and you'll get familiar with the situation here today. Come to my house for dinner in the evening, and I will introduce you to other important staff officers by the way. Wu Xianyu patted Tan Renhao on the shoulder, "Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good." Don't miss this opportunity. ”

"Be sure to be on time!" Tan Renhao also laughed, he had heard Ji Xiaobin talk about it a long time ago, and the dishes cooked by Wu Xianyu's wife tasted very good.

Because the Western Pacific Theater Command was newly established, the place was not large, and there was no high-level villa area for generals like the Navy Command. Tan Renhao's temporary place of residence is an officer's dormitory. He didn't really care where he lived, because he had little time to spend in his dorm outside of sleeping and bathing.

At six o'clock, he took Du Xing to General Wu Xianyu's house. As a matter of fact. This is also the largest housing provided by the Navy, and the largest housing in the Theater Command, which is far worse than those villas in the Naval Command. Tan Renhao was not the first to arrive, and several staff officers from the theater command came at about five o'clock. After letting Du Xing get acquainted with the adjutants of those staff officers, Tan Renhao went to Wu Xianyu's study.

"Everyone, this is Major General Tan Renhao, and he will be the chief of staff of the theater in the future." Wu Xianyu first introduced Tan Renhao, and then said to Tan Renhao: "Let me introduce you to you, this is Colonel Tang Yuehu, a combat staff officer in the theater. ”

Tan Renhao shook hands with the somewhat fat colonel officer, although the rank of the combat staff officer will not be very high, but the status is not low, otherwise Wu Xianyu would not be the first to introduce it.

"This is Colonel He Miaozhuang, who is in charge of logistics."

This is a thin middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, probably short-sighted after joining the Navy.

"This is Colonel Guo Ziyu, who is in charge of intelligence."

Guo Ziyu is very tall, but he looks a little thin, and his expression is obviously gloomy than others, and it can be seen at a glance that he is engaged in security and intelligence work.

"This Brigadier General you know Luo Yunchong!"

Tan Renhao smiled and shook Luo Yunchong's hand. "I didn't expect us to meet here."

"Brigadier General Luo Yunchong is still subordinate to the Naval Aviation Command, but he has come to work on our side!" Wu Xianyu made the following explanation: "From now on, we will all be a family!" ”

Under Wu Xianyu's greeting, everyone sat down one after another. Of course, Tan Renhao doesn't need to introduce himself too much, with the first task force's ground record, his reputation has long spread. Of course, he also became the focus of attention, and in order to satisfy the curiosity of these people, Ren Hao told some things about the naval command. Soon the topic focused on the personnel arrangements of the two fleets.

"I've heard of this Fan Peikun before, it's a playboy who makes him the chief of staff of the fleet, it's just ......," Tang Yuehu sighed, "But I believe the principal will have a way to deal with it!" ”

"That's not really something we should be talking about, anyway!" He Miaozhuang smiled and shook his head, without meaning to comment.

"Actually, we should be considerate of the marshal's difficulties, since there is a reason for this arrangement!" Guo Ziyu's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Through the small talk at this meeting, Ren Hao also saw the difference between the three most important staff officers. Actually, it's the same as their position, what kind of people say what kind of things.

"Ren Hao, this time you are here, we can put the bombing of Japan on the agenda." Luo Yunchong opened the topic: "Of course, the most important thing is the base issue. ”

"yes, we've been struggling with this all this time. However, with the help of General Tan Renhao, I believe that many problems can be solved! Wu Xianyu stood up with a smile: "It's almost time to eat, even if it's to wash the dust for General Tan Renhao today, let's go to the restaurant to rub it again when General Liao Hanxiang comes back." ”

The group came downstairs to the dining room. The table was filled with more than a dozen plates, all containing dishes of different colors and flavors. Tan Renhao finally tasted Wu Xianyu's wife's craftsmanship, he had to admire, and even wondered if Wu Xianyu relied on cooking skills to choose his wife back then.

After dinner, Tan Renhao declined Wu Xianyu's invitation, and when Wu Xianyu dragged a few staff officers to play mahjong in the entertainment room, he said goodbye and left.

It was his first day at the Western Pacific Theater Command, and there were a lot of things he needed to get acquainted with. Duchenne also knew this, and the two drove around the base for a while, and then stopped on the beach that leaned into Jiaozhou Bay. The port is just to the south, and there is only a small pier on this side for ships transporting people. The harbor is quiet, and every now and then a seabird or two flies back and lands in a nest in the woods behind the beach.

Tan Renhao's mood gradually calmed down, and a new life is about to begin!
