After discussing with Gan Yongxing all day, Tan Renhao dragged his tired body back home in the middle of the night. He doesn't like to do such work as budgeting, but he also knows that this is the principal and the chief of staff cultivating him, to put it bluntly, even if someone wants to participate in the navy's budget, they don't have a chance, Tan Renhao had to patiently discuss each budget with Gan Yongxing one by one, try to learn some ways to balance the budget from Gan Yongxing, and at the end of the day, they determined one-fifth of the budget items. If it weren't for the fact that there was really nothing else to do during this time, and Tan Renhao had the mentality of a student, I'm afraid he would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

Seeing the two big suitcases placed next to the door, Prime Minister Tan Renhao thought that his wife had come back from Germany, but he immediately felt that this was impossible, Liao Yingyu was going to study in Germany until July 27, maybe he was coming back to visit relatives, but it was too fast, in addition, Liao Yingyu would call back in advance.

"Renhao, it's your father-in-law who has arrived."

"Liao Hanxiang?" Tan Renhao looked at his sister.

"Yes, I arrived half an hour ago, I just took a shower, and now it's probably in the study, and his adjutant will come to help him pack his luggage later."

"Live with us?" Tan Renhao has a headache, why didn't Liao Hanxiang say hello to him when he came back? What gave him even more headache was that Liao Hanxiang was carrying so much luggage, and when he rushed back at this time, he would definitely not leave Zhoushan immediately.

"Yes, he said that it was uncomfortable to live in that villa alone, so he came to live with his son-in-law, can I still kick him out?"

Tan Renhao shook his head with a smile, and then patted his sister's head. "Okay, you go to rest early, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"I don't know, I'm going to go to the city. I heard that Dong Jue is coming back too. ”

"What did he come back for?"

"Why aren't you allowed to come back? Now he is just like you, and his rank is no lower than yours. You can come back, why can't he come back? ”

"Come on, my little sister has turned her arms outward now."

"Brother. Don't be jealous, aren't you the same to your sister-in-law? ”

Tan Renhao really has no way to take his sister. "Come on, come on, you hurry up and go to bed, wait for Dong Jue to come back. How about I invite everyone to the city for a meal? ”

"That's what you said, don't go back."

"When does Big Brother stop talking and don't count?" Tan Renhao sent his sister outside her bedroom, "Okay, you go to sleep, if you want to go out tomorrow, take Xiaobao with you." ”

Tan Qinglian nodded, her aunt was quite competent.

Tan Renhao went back to the bedroom to change his clothes first, and then went to the study upstairs. Liao Hanxiang rushed back at this time, definitely for the purpose of attacking the Hawaiian Islands. And it seems that Liao Hanxiang will not return to Guam if he does not get the result. Perhaps, he already knew about the principal's decision and even talked to the principal on the phone. So, what was the purpose of his return? Want the principal to support him? This is obviously unlikely. Now that the president has made a decision, it is very difficult to change it, and it is not the decision of the president in itself, but the decision of the prime minister, so it is even more difficult to change it. Could it be that he came back for something else? It is also unlikely, the battle on Wake Island is almost over, and the US troops took the initiative to withdraw from Wake Island, but when Long Zhen killed Wake Island, only a few thousand US troops did not have time to withdraw. Is that a fleet thing? It can't be either. If something had happened to the fleet, there would have been news by now. What could that be? Think about these questions. Tan Renhao felt a little headache, perhaps, the last thing he wanted to face at this time was Liao Hanxiang.

"Came back so late?" Liao Hanxiang put down the newspaper in his hand, and then took off his old glasses. "I'm old, and now I have to wear glasses even to read the newspaper. I originally wanted to go to the headquarters to find you, but I heard that Gan Yongxing has been letting you deal with things in the past few days, and he came back late every day, so I didn't bother you. Are you dealing with next year's budget? ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he was now wearing a set of pajamas. "It's almost those troubles, which used to be the responsibility of the principal himself, but this year it was handed over to the chief of staff, and the chief of staff dragged me on."

"Did the government bring forward the budget for the army?" The .1 text version was first released

Tan Renhao nodded, Liao Hanxiang should have heard the relevant news.

"Well, this should be a good thing, you know, I have been a soldier for decades, and until now, I have also done the budget report of the naval aviation and the Fifth Fleet, and I have never participated in the work of the general budget report of the navy." Liao Hanxiang smiled and sat next to his son-in-law, "Don't sigh, there's nothing to complain about." Participating in the preparation of the Navy's general budget is not only an exercise in your abilities, but also a determination of your position in the Navy. To put it bluntly, if you go and tell Gan Yongxing now, you are not ready to continue to make a budget, I am afraid that the threshold of Gan Yongxing's house will be broken, and I don't know how many people are lining up to do your current job! ”

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, he also knew the true value of this job, but the problem was that it was not an easy job to do.

"I've also heard about the problems in the country, and I'm here to talk to the marshal about it." Liao Hanxiang got to the point. "Now the defense of the US army is the weakest, Nimitz needs time to adjust the defensive line, Spruance also needs time to reorganize the fleet, and most importantly, the other two aircraft carriers have not been repaired, and it is difficult for the Fifth Fleet to play an important role on the battlefield. This is the perfect time for us to launch an offensive, and preparations are underway and should be in place by the end of the month. If we are not sure about the battle plan now, the time of the attack will be delayed a lot because there is no plan, which will be very bad for us. ”

"Dad, I talked to the Chief of Staff. According to the regulations, it should be approved by the Navy Command first, and this time the Theater Command can draw up an operational plan, complete the preliminary planning and deployment work as much as possible, and launch a campaign as soon as the Navy Command approves the combat operation, without waiting. ”

"The problem is, we can't afford it. And Gan Yongxing did not give me a clear answer, if we drag it until the end of the year. Then the U.S. military will get a large number of warships, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to attack the Hawaiian Islands at that time, and the investment will definitely be much more than we plan now. ”

"So. Two more sets of battle plans should be drawn up, one for the year before and one for the year after. If it is to be delayed until the end of the year, it will have a few more months of preparation time, and it should be possible to mobilize more war supplies. As well as combat units, the problem is not very big. ”

"What about the fleet?"

Tan Renhao was silent, the crux of the problem is to seize sea supremacy and air supremacy, and the fleet is the only force that can complete this task. Until the U.S. Navy is reinforced, the task of seizing sea and air supremacy is relatively simple, and perhaps Spruance will not lead the Fifth Fleet to challenge the much more powerful Imperial fleet. However, if it is delayed until after the year, the US Navy will have six new aircraft carriers and a large number of escort warships, especially the newly built special air defense cruisers, which will greatly narrow the gap in strength between the two sides. When the time comes, it will not be so easy to seize sea and air supremacy.

"When the time comes, we will also have new aircraft carriers in service, and there will still be enough numerical superiority within us."

"But this advantage is not obvious, and increasing the number of fleets is not the solution." Liao Hanxiang sighed secretly. "What the hell is going on in the country?"

Tan Renhao shook his head, he hesitated and didn't know whether to tell Liao Hanxiang or not.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then when I didn't ask......"

"Dad, it's not something you can't say." Tan Renhao decided to tell his father-in-law. "The main thing is some problems of the government, and the prime minister needs the army to cooperate with him."

"Cooperate with him?"

Tan Renhao nodded, and then told Liao Hanxiang what he heard from Gan Yongxing.

Liao Hanxiang's expression quickly sank, and after Tan Renhao finished speaking, he frowned and thought for a while before raising his head. "It seems. We've got to get ready for the Hawaiian Islands in '27. ”

Tan Renhao didn't answer, he knew. Liao Hanxiang eats more salt than he eats, and in terms of political experience, ten Tan Renhao are not as good as one Liao Hanxiang.

"Not to mention anything else, just determining the removal of the justices is enough to toss for a few months, and then there is the nomination of new justices, which is enough for Xue Xiyue to fight against the opposition for a few months, and then to win the support of the emperor, in less than half a year, Xue Xiyue will not be able to settle the Supreme Court at all."

Tan Renhao was secretly surprised, he originally thought that it would only take two or three months. "Will it take that long?"

"This is still an optimistic estimate, if the opposition is strong enough and the background is hard enough, I am afraid this will have a greater impact!"

Tan Renhao looked at his father-in-law, and when he noticed Liao Hanxiang's eyes, he immediately understood that Liao Hanxiang didn't know who was behind the opposition.

Tan Renhao has never understood which people are secretly opposing Xue Xiyue. If Xue Xiyue's arbitrariness in war policy is excluded, Tan Renhao feels that Xue Xiyue is a very good prime minister, who not only brought the empire out of the economic crisis and put the empire's economic development on the right track, but also made the empire as prepared as possible for the war in the years before the outbreak of the war, and these were all proved in the war, the empire was able to quickly turn around the defeat in the first two years of the war, and quickly consolidate the foundation of victory. In addition, Xue Xiyue's iron-fisted policy was the most popular among military personnel during the war, and it was also the policy that was most able to defend the interests of the empire. As a result, Xue Xiyue was widely supported by the military, and many even believed that Xue Xiyue was one of the greatest prime ministers in the history of the empire since Zhang Shaoting.

Those who understand things, love the motherland, hope that the empire will be strong and prosperous, and fully support the empire to win the war will support Xue Xiyue, so who will oppose Xue Xiyue behind the scenes? Tan Renhao vaguely felt that Xue Xiyue was dealing with an extremely powerful force, which must be directly related to Xue Xiyue's assassination, and it could even be said that it was these people who planned the assassination. And Xue Xiyue has also been fighting against this force since he returned to power, so what force will oppose Xue Xiyue? And want to get rid of this great prime minister who has been trying to lead the empire to victory?

Thinking about these questions, Tan Renhao has a headache, this can be regarded as a political conspiracy, and anyone who participates in these political conspiracy is guilty of treason, they are all traitors, in any country, even those countries in the West that have basically eliminated the death penalty, treason is the most serious crime, and after the traitor is arrested, in addition to being guillotined, he can only be sent to the gallows, and there will be no other results. So, who is it that is planning these conspiracies at the risk of losing their heads? Moreover, after overthrowing Xue Xiyue, what good will it do them?

Tan Renhao looked at his father-in-law, and to be honest, he couldn't figure out who would do such a thing. In Tan Renhao's view, no matter whether it is a soldier or a government official, no one who swears allegiance to the empire will do such a thing. Moreover, those imperial people who love their homeland and love their homeland will not do such a thing.

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Liao Hanxiang smiled bitterly, "Besides, we'd better not know." This is no longer a military issue that we can control, it is a political struggle, a naked political struggle. For us, it's better to stay out of the way than to get involved. ”

"But looking at the way we look now, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to be outside."

"Did the marshal talk to you?" Liao Hanxiang's expression immediately became nervous.

"No, not yet, and I didn't ask either."

"Yes, you'd better not ask, if the marshal needs you, he'll take the initiative to mention it to you, and if I were you, I'd refuse."

"Why?" Tan Renhao didn't think of refusing, he had a sense of justice, and he also had a sense of duty and honor as a soldier, if those people did something harmful to the interests of the empire, then he should stand up and fight against them, instead of hiding aside.

"Because you are too young, too immature, and you don't understand the sinister nature of political struggle, the more important question ......" Liao Hanxiang hesitated slightly, "You can be sacrificed!" ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and now he understood what his father-in-law meant.

"Ren Hao, you must keep this in mind, I am your father-in-law, you are my only son-in-law, and I watched you become a general from a second lieutenant. You must remember that this is not the time for you to enter politics. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, he took Liao Hanxiang's words to heart, and at the same time, the hairs on his body stood up.
