Until a new order is received, the fleet can only continue to carry out combat readiness patrol missions in the predetermined sea area. The next day, the Navy Command lowered the combat readiness of the fleets, but did not change the previous order, and the four imperial fleets operating in the waters of the Eastern Hemisphere continued to carry out combat readiness patrol missions. On the third day, a transport plane landed on the aircraft carrier "Taizu", which brought a staff officer of the Navy Command, along with a piece of information and a new order.

"You are very familiar with the person who came, he is your contemporaneous alumni, and I heard that he is very familiar with you." Colonel Ji Xiaobin went directly to Tan Renhao's senior officer cabin to find him.

"Alumni of the same period, still very familiar?" Tan Renhao is a little blindsided, his best alumni is Lei Shaoqing, and the other familiar relationships are not very good.

"Do you know the second place in that issue?"

"You're talking about Jiang Zhongmin?" Tan Renhao reacted immediately, he and Jiang Zhongmin are very familiar, but they are definitely not good friends.

"Yes, a year ago, he was transferred from the Second Fleet to the Navy Command, and within two years he was promoted two levels in a row, and he was very much used by the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy. Still, it's far worse than you. Ji Xiaobin smiled and patted Tan Renhao's shoulder, "This time, he is here to send us a new order, wait for you to greet him well." ”

Tan Renhao nodded a little reluctantly, he and Jiang Zhongmin are not all the way, in his understanding, Jiang Zhongmin and Fan Peikun are on the same road, and now Tan Renhao and Fan Peikun can be said to be incompatible.

In the operations conference room, Captain Jiang Zhongmin was conveying the new orders of the Navy Command and the Navy Staff to General Liao Hanxiang and General Wu Xianyu.

"This is an order personally issued by Chief of Staff Guo Xianzhong, and the Fifth Fleet will first rendezvous with the supply fleet, and after completing the supply, it will go to the port of Nagasaki in Japan for a friendly visit." Jiang Zhongmin still looks very calm, and when he was in school, some people jokingly called him "Iceman". "This visit was personally arranged by Prime Minister Xue Xiyue, and now that our relations with Japan have eased somewhat, according to the will of the Imperial Cabinet Government, we are not prepared for war with Japan in the near future. Marshal Saditin also meant the same thing, we are not ready for war. Therefore, this visit is very important and can also be seen as a return visit to the visit of the Japanese Southwest Combined Fleet to us more than a year ago. General, do you have any questions? ”

Liao Hanxiang did not speak, the reason was that he was a little unaccustomed to these young officers of the naval command. Almost all the young officers in the Navy Command felt superior to others, thinking that working in the Command was better than other officers, and often used chicken feathers as tokens.

"We don't have a problem...... "Wu Xianyu was just halfway through his words, when he saw Ji Xiaobin and Tan Renhao, "Colonel, you are here." ”

Ji Xiaobin nodded, and then let Tan Renhao stand next to him. "Captain Jiang Zhongmin, I don't need to introduce this, right? Now Major Tan Renhao is the operational staff officer of our fleet aviation operations staff. ”

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded at Jiang Zhongmin, and found that the same school that overpowered him back then had not changed much. Jiang Zhongmin also nodded at Tan Renhao, but his expression was still so serious.

"Major, you can accompany Captain Jiang Zhongmin out to familiarize yourself with our flagship!" Liao Hanxiang stood up, and then said to Jiang Zhongmin, "You are alumni of the same period, I haven't seen you for more than two years, you must have a lot to say, right?" As for the visit, we will think about it, when will you return to the command? ”

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, then I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." Liao Hanxiang glanced at Ji Xiaobin and motioned for him to send off the guest.

"Captain, please come here!" Ji Xiaobin invited Jiang Zhongmin out of the conference room, and at the same time pulled Tan Renhao by the hand, "Major, you accompany the guests to walk outside, and I will pick up the captain at night." ”

Of course, Tan Renhao knew what the colonel and the commander meant, they didn't want outsiders to be present when discussing the affairs of the fleet, otherwise Ji Xiaobin would not have called him over and specially entertained Jiang Zhongmin.

The two walked through two corridors to the officer's cafeteria below. Because it was not yet time to eat, there were not many people in the cafeteria, and several officers were in a group, some were playing chess, some were bragging, and two were flipping through magazines. The officers' canteen is also the main place for officers to have fun and rest, but many officers who are on rotation will stay in their officers' quarters.

Both of them first briefly introduced their experiences in the past two years, and then Tan Renhao learned about the reason why Jiang Zhongmin came to the fleet.

"Let's go on a trip to Japan?" Tan Renhao sneered in his heart, fortunately Jiang Zhongmin was from the Navy Headquarters, otherwise with General Liao Hanxiang's temper, he would have thrown him directly into the sea to feed the fish.

"I can't help it, I'm just an ordinary officer who delivers orders." Jiang Zhongmin shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "However, your current position is very good, I heard that General Liao Hanxiang has sponsored you many times, and even Marshal Sajiting attaches great importance to you." ”

"Senior Brother Jiang, you're laughing at me." Tan Renhao used the colloquial name in the military academy. "What am I? Even if you climb to the top, you are just a brigadier general, but you are in the headquarters, which is where everyone else wants to go if they have their heads squeezed, and maybe in three or five years, you will be one of the youngest generals in the history of the Imperial Navy. ”

Jiang Zhongmin smiled bitterly. "Renhao, you're making fun of me. You had a knot with Fan Peikun at the beginning, but I didn't help him. But then again, judging by the current situation, I'm afraid you're more likely than anyone else to become a general in the first place. ”

Tan Renhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, what he was thinking about now was not when he would be able to become a general, but whether the current tension would turn into a war.

"Zhongmin, you said that now that this is the case, will we fight with Japan?"

Jiang Zhongmin smiled and did not speak.

"In my opinion, I'm afraid there is not much chance of fighting!" Tan Renhao stirred the coffee in the cup, "But, that's fine, we don't want to fight anyway." ”

Jiang Zhongmin is a very stable person, no matter how Tan Renhao knocks on the side, Jiang Zhongmin just refuses to reveal any inside information. Tan Renhao soon gave up his efforts, and when he was in school, Jiang Zhongmin was the most stable of the 192 students, with a maturity that did not match his age. Of course, Tan Renhao didn't think about how much "intelligence" he wanted to dig up from Jiang Zhongmin, and his task was just to wait with Jiang Zhongmin for a few hours.
