Because he was too tired, Tan Renhao didn't feel excited at all after returning home, and he didn't feel any excitement when he saw his son and wife. This is the first time since Tan Renhao came to the Navy Headquarters that he did not show any excitement and excitement when he returned home after a lapse of months. After dinner, Tan Renhao accompanied his wife and son around the garden a few times, and when Tan Renhao suddenly found that his son could already walk and talk dumbly, he realized that this home had changed, just like the changes in the whole Zhoushan, and it was almost completely different from the last time he left.

Tan Renhao also noticed the changes in his wife, in the past, when he returned home, his wife would always ask for warmth and care for him, but this time, his wife didn't seem to notice him, or he hadn't been away from home for a few months at all, and his wife's attention was completely on the "little kid". At first, Tan Renhao still felt a little lost, but soon he wanted to open it. Long before Xiaobao was born, he heard a few bad friends say that after having a child, his wife wants not a husband, but a son. At that time, Tan Renhao really didn't believe it, but now he has to admit it, when the maternal characteristics of a woman are shown, I am afraid that only her son is her baby in the world, and everything else will go aside!

When it was completely dark, his wife took Xiaobao back to the room, and Tan Renhao sat outside for a while, feeling a little cold, and then he went back to the house. There is no light in the bedroom, it seems that his wife has taken Xiaobao to sleep, Tan Renhao originally wanted to make love with his wife, but now he has no such idea. And the parents were not at home, but went to participate in the evening exercise activities with a group of elderly people who were in a similar situation and had followed their sons to the naval headquarters. Tan Renhao walked around the living room for half a circle, and finally decided to go to the study. Maybe he'll have to spend the night in his study tonight.

These changes in the family made Tan Renhao a little lost, and they also made him feel very lonely. Before he got married, he had heard of the "seven-year itch", but now he has been married for less than seven years. At that time, Tan Renhao even felt that he was about to become a redundant member of the family, but these changes were not something he could control. He also wanted to spend more time on his family, but he couldn't. Not to mention that the war is going on now, even after the war is over, as long as he is still wearing a military uniform. As a soldier of the Empire, it is impossible for him to put his private life before the duties and duties of a soldier, and it is impossible for him to spend more time on his family. Some people say that women are born for love and family, so men should be born for careers. When I was young. Tan Renhao has always agreed with this view. But now. He believes that men need more than just a career, and perhaps a family is more important than a career.

If you ask what Tan Renhao wanted most at that time, it was definitely the kind of warm feeling at home, the kind that allowed him to feel it with his nose, ears, and eyes. It is present in the air, in the words, and in everything in the house, the smell of home, the voice of home, and the image of home. On the battlefield, he doesn't think about his family, but when he returns home, he only wants to be a son, a husband and a father, not a soldier who still wears a military uniform. But. This time, he didn't find that feeling.

After staying in the study for a long time, Tan Renhao sighed. Thirty years old, he is only thirty years old. If it weren't for the special circumstances, thirty years old should be an age when a man is struggling and trying to climb up, and now, Tan Renhao has achieved success beyond all his peers, but he has not been able to get the warm feeling he wants most. He picked up the cigarette he had used to entertain the guests, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down again. At the beginning, in order to quit smoking, Tan Renhao spent a lot of effort, as a strong-willed and determined person, he controlled his impulses, but he couldn't control his emotions.

Hearing the sound of the door closing downstairs, Tan Renhao knew that his parents had gone home after exercising, and he looked at his watch, only to find that it was already around half past ten. Originally, Tan Renhao wanted to go to his father to talk about family life, but after thinking about it, his father usually went to bed early, so he didn't go downstairs. When the downstairs bedroom door closed again, the whole house fell silent. This made Tan Renhao feel more empty and empty.

When the second cup of tea was brewed, it was already half past eleven, and Tan Renhao picked up the document on the desk. He hadn't forgotten what the chief of staff had told him, and he was in a slightly calmer mood now, although he was still exhausted, he was going to see the principal early tomorrow morning, and he didn't want to go to the principal without making any preparations. After opening the document, Tan Renhao found that Gan Yongxing was more thoughtful than him.

Perhaps it was because he thought that Tan Renhao would not have much time to deal with these official duties after he came back, so Gan Yongxing attached the general contents of these documents at the top of the document, which can be regarded as a simple summary. In this way, after reading the summary, Tan Renhao can not look at the things he already knows and master, but focus on the things he doesn't know and have not mastered, so as to spend less time.

The summary report of the contents of this document is relatively detailed, and it is classified according to the priority of the matter, the most important is at the front, and the secondary is at the end. In this way, Tan Renhao can see at a glance what is the most important, what is more important, and what is secondary. At the very beginning of the document, the three most important problems facing the Imperial Navy at that time were listed.

These three issues were: the next phase of operations in the Caribbean theater of operations, which the Imperial Navy was responsible for, and the appropriate way to seize forward bases for advance into the continental United States. The development and development of equipment for the Imperial Navy in the late stages of the war, as well as procurement programs. It involves the reform of the Imperial Naval System in the Air Corps of the Imperial Army, as well as the future Air Force.

These are three rather huge problems, Tan Renhao did not fully understand after reading it for the first time, but after he read it for the second time and thought about it carefully, he found that these three questions not only include military operations in the later stage of the war, but will even directly have a decisive impact on the development and construction of the navy after the end of the war, and even determine the future development direction of the imperial navy.

Relatively speaking, the first question is more realistic. Progress in the Caribbean theater of operations is already seriously behind schedule. There are a number of reasons for this result, most of which are beyond the control of the Navy

The combat operations of the Imperial Army Expeditionary Force on the battlefield in Mexico directly affected the ability to project troops and supplies to the Caribbean, and ultimately led to Han Shaofeng's long-term lack of the required strength, so there was no way to seize the forward base according to the previously determined plan. However, the problem is that the fighting in the Caribbean theater cannot be dragged on forever, and if we want to end the war on the 29th, then we must speed up the process of the campaign and seize the forward base as soon as possible.

Because this is an operational issue, Tan Renhao also thought about it more thoroughly. As early as when he traveled from Gibraltar to Cologne, he had already realized that Han Shaofeng's slow movements would have a great impact on the overall strategic deployment of the Imperial Navy, and even eventually affect the overall strategic deployment of the Empire. If it weren't for Gu Xunlei's failure to open up the situation on the battlefield in Mexico at that time, I'm afraid Han Shaofeng would have been removed from his post long ago.

The problem must be solved, Tan Renhao flipped through the relevant documents, and he only took a general look at it, and found a serious problem. The deadline set by the Navy Command is the end of August, which means that before the arrival of September 1, Han Shaofeng must seize the forward base, and hopefully deploy a strategic strike force to the front by the end of September to begin a full-scale strategic bombing of the east coast of the United States. And now it's the beginning of 7, Han Shaofeng only has two months, and will he be able to complete this task?

The deadlines were set not by the command of the Navy, but by the Prime Minister of the Reich. Why the prime minister set this deadline is not mentioned in the document, but one thing is certain, the prime minister will not give Han Shaofeng more time, that is. If Han Shaofeng can't complete the mission before then, then he will definitely be removed, then he has no hope of becoming the next Marine Corps commander, and even his future service career will have to be put with a question mark.

Seeing this, Tan Renhao also sweated for Han Shaofeng, can this Marine Corps general who never bows to any difficulties be able to complete the task? Soon, Tan Renhao was also relieved, for Han Shaofeng, maybe this is not a problem, but an opportunity. If he can seize this opportunity, then no one will be able to shake his position as the number one general of the Marine Corps after Yan Guozhong, and Han Shaofeng will definitely have the ability to grasp this opportunity.

When Tan Renhao saw the back of the document, he breathed a sigh of relief. The document also mentions the Prime Minister's serious dissatisfaction with the Army, to be precise. It was a serious dissatisfaction with Gu Xunlei's performance on the battlefield in Mexico. Other words. When the prime minister set a deadline for Han Shaofeng. also gave Gu Xunlei an "ultimatum". Now, Han Shaofeng and Gu Xunlei are under pressure, and with the personalities of these two people, they will not easily bow to difficulties, so they have to find a way to overcome the challenge. The most effective way is to cooperate seamlessly between the two. Judging from the cooperation between the army and the navy, this is certainly a good thing, if the two can cooperate perfectly. Then there is no enemy who cannot be defeated without them!

The so-called pressure is the motivation, Gu Xunlei and Han Shaofeng clashed constantly, precisely because the two did not have much pressure, and there was no motivation for joint operations. Now that the prime minister has put the most pressure on them, then they have the greatest incentive to cooperate. Neither of them is stupid, and there are no personal conflicts, and when there are common interests and common enemies, cooperation comes naturally.

That's exactly what comes to mind. Tan Renhao felt that there was really nothing to worry about. Two months is enough time for Gu Xunlei and Han Shaofeng to do a lot of things. More importantly, the time that the two of them had delayed before was not completely delayed, and through the accumulation of these few months, the strength of the two was much stronger than that they had played on the battlefield, and under the pressure of the prime minister, I am afraid that the two of them could desperately strive to complete the combat operation within the specified time frame, and this had a positive effect on the final victory over the United States.

After figuring out these problems, Tan Renhao quickly realized that in fact, this was not only a problem between Gu Xunlei and Han Shaofeng, but a deep contradiction between the army, navy, and army of the empire. During the war, the relationship between the army and navy was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when it was difficult, when the situation improved slightly, it became awkward again, which is probably a true portrayal of the hundreds of years of history of the army and navy of the empire. Perhaps, the prime minister did not want to put pressure on the two innocent theater commanders, but to take this opportunity to exert pressure on the army and navy, and at the same time force the army and navy to improve relations, and at the same time, he could also use this method to weaken the power of the army and navy and lay the foundation for the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense.

It is undeniable that Gu Xunlei and Han Shaofeng are one of the best generals in the imperial army and navy, Gu Xunlei has been reused by Yan Dingyu, and Han Shaofeng is not only Yan Guozhong's protégé, but also his position in the navy is also very important. In this case, if the two of them are unable to solve the problem, it is natural that the top brass of the army and navy will solve the problem. So what changes will the Prime Minister's pressure exert at this time ultimately bring to the army and navy?

Tan Renhao's first thought was for the army and navy to set up a joint command to unify the command of the Mexican theater and the Caribbean theater, so as to completely resolve the contradiction between Gu Xunlei and Han Shaofeng. But the question is, who will be the commander of this theater, and how will the power be distributed? There is no doubt that neither Gu Xunlei nor Han Shaofeng is suitable for the post of commander of the theater, so a new candidate must be arranged. Tan Renhao first thought that it was possible to arrange him to take up this position, but he denied this idea very easily, the next war was mainly on the ground and in the air, and Tan Renhao was only the commander of the fleet, a general at sea, and he was not suitable for this position. In addition, it has not yet been confirmed how the United States will be defeated at that time, and it is impossible to determine who will be in unified command of the military operation to defeat the United States.

In fact, thinking of this, Tan Renhao already knew in his heart that if this joint command was really established, then the future strategic policy of the empire could be seen from the candidates who served as commanders. It's just that the army and navy will agree to create a joint command at this time?
