Section 3 Going Their Own Way (II)

The two were not in the mood to go to other restaurants, and finally the two went to buy two catties of braised beef, two catties of salt peanuts, and a few bottles of Shaoxing daughter red, and then went to the nameless mountain north of the campus.

It was actually just a very small hill, and the two of them found a meadow on it to sit down, and then drank wine, ate beef and peanuts, and occasionally smoked a cigarette. For three years, they would come here whenever something unhappy happened. Sometimes, Tan Renhao came alone, and he didn't want others to see his vulnerable side.

"Renhao, which base have you been assigned to?"

"No, it's the Fifth Fleet!" Tan Renhao lay on the grass and looked at the stars in the night sky, which were like jewels dotted with black satin.

"Fifth Fleet!?" Lei Shaoqing glanced at Tan Renhao in disbelief, and then threw a cigarette over. "Smoke two more, if you get on the battleship, I'm afraid you won't be able to smoke a box of cigarettes in a year!"

Tan Renhao smiled and lit a cigarette, in fact, his addiction to smoking is not big, this is all taught by Lei Shaoqing to smoke. However, he also knew that when he arrived on the battleship, even the captain could not smoke in the cabin, because the cabin was too cramped, and the air was already terrible, and if anyone smoked, it would definitely become a public enemy. You should only go out on deck to smoke when the weather is good, but no one will risk being doused in the thick of the wind and waves.

"However, I can't figure it out, with your grades, and the importance you attach to you as the principal, I'm afraid there will be no problem with which fleet you are going to go to, or even to serve in the naval headquarters, right?" Lei Shaoqing also lay on the grass, "The Fifth Fleet is the child born to the stepmother, although General Liao Hanxiang is very famous and very courageous, but the Fifth Fleet is obviously a place where talents are buried, it won't be you who took the initiative to apply to the Fifth Fleet, right?" ”

"I can say that, but I didn't apply for it!" Tan Renhao flicked out the cigarette that he had only smoked twice, "It was General Liao Hanxiang who asked the principal for me, and I agreed!" ”

"Why?" At this time, Lei Shaoqing was even more surprised, "Are you really superstitious about General Liao Hanxiang's theory?" ”

"It's not a theory!" Tan Renhao was excited for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly, "Shaoqing, I don't fight with you, we have been discussing it for three years, the one you believe may be correct, but I also firmly believe that my set is correct." I believe that sooner or later, we will know whether it will be the 'big ships and giant guns' or the 'aircraft carrier fighters' that will dominate the seas of the future. ”

Lei Shaoqing sat up with a smile. "I think so too, sooner or later, the war will prove whose point of view is right, but you don't need to drill into the Fifth Fleet, right?"

Tan Renhao let out a sigh, and he also knew that Lei Shaoqing was actually concerned about him. The Fifth Fleet was only formed a year ago, and according to naval practice, some key personnel and advanced warships should be transferred from other fleets to form the main force of this new fleet, but in fact, except for a few main members of the staff team brought by Liao Hanxiang, the rest of the Fifth Fleet were selected from the reserve officers and men of other fleets, and except for the three fast fleet aircraft carriers, all the other warships were at least fifteen years old. And many of them were even built during the last war, and their average age reached more than twenty years. What's more, the Fifth Fleet's chances of promotion are very slim, and its general rank is at least one level lower than that of the other four fleets, and even most of the captains, captains of the air brigades, have a low rank. Obviously, in the eyes of almost all Imperial Navies, the Fifth Fleet is the grave of naval officers!

"Do you know about that drill half a year ago?" Tan Renhao wanted to pull the topic away, but he turned around, but he couldn't do without the navy and the naval aviation he liked.

"Half a year ago?" Lei Shaoqing didn't react.

"Half a year ago, the exercise between the Army Aviation and the First Fleet in the waters southeast of the Yellow Sea."

Lei Shaoqing frowned slightly. "You mean that teaching internal reference?"

Tan Renhao nodded. "I have read it carefully, and there is very little information about the exercise, almost no detailed introduction, and the results of the exercise are only a passing mention. However, a month later, Admiral Bu Xinghai, commander of the First Fleet, was transferred to the post of commander of the Naval Reserve, and the chief of staff, Rear Admiral Yao Shizeng, was transferred to the post of commander of the Colombo Naval Base. Don't you think these two personnel transfers are strange? ”

"It's true, the commander of the reserve and the commander of the Colombo base are simply idle, and their status is much worse than that of the commander and chief of staff of the First Fleet." Tan Renhao glanced at Tan Renhao, "However, Admiral Bu Xinghai and Rear Admiral Yao Shizeng can also be regarded as celebrities in the Imperial Navy, why were they suddenly transferred to idleness?" ”

"Because someone needs to carry the black cauldron!" Tan Renhao sneered, "If it is combined with the exercise half a year ago, then the result of the exercise will be obvious." One of the most powerful fleets in the empire lost to the bomber unit of the army aviation, Marshal Satitin needs someone to come out and bear the consequences of defeat, and Bu Xinghai and Yao Shizeng, as the commander and chief of staff of the fleet, their responsibilities cannot be shirked, they are all good to be leveled, if they were placed in the past, it would be strange not to be directly dismissed! ”

"You mean, the First Fleet was a complete defeat in defeat?" Lei Shaoqing couldn't believe it even more, the First Fleet was the most powerful fleet in the Empire that shook the world!

"That's right, and the loss was complete, even if I don't know the result yet, but I'm sure that this made the Navy lose face, so the two generals became scapegoats!" Tan Renhao sat up, "Since the army can prove the power of the plane, then why can't we?" ”

Lei Shaoqing was silent for a while, and then laughed. "Looks like I can't help you. Still, you should worry more about your own affairs! ”

"My business!?" Tan Renhao glanced at his friend.

"Yes, I just received a letter from home last month, and I heard that your father is ready to marry you!"

Tan Renhao's face turned cold, and he immediately lay down, this was the last thing he wanted to mention, and it was something he was running away from.

"Moreover, I heard that the woman has already given a dowry, to be honest, your kid is not shallow......"

"Is your skin itchy again?"

The two immediately scuffled together, and Tan Renhao decided to give this rotten friend a little bit of power before going their separate ways.
