General Nie Renfeng's office is very spacious, but the decoration is very ordinary, and all kinds of decorative items in it are related to the army and soldiers without exception. Including more than a dozen trophies in the cupboard, dozens of medals; a saber hanging on the wall; a model of the battleship "Taihu" placed next to the coat rack by the door (Nie Renfeng was the captain of the ship, and later when he was the commander of the fleet, this battleship was his flagship); There are also more than a dozen portraits and photos on the row of bookshelves on the left hand side of the door, all of which are the imperial naval generals who have emerged in the Nie family for more than ten generations!

"Second Lieutenant of the Imperial Navy Tan Renhao is here to report!" Tan Renhao's voice is not loud, but it is very loud.

Nie Renfeng looked up at Tan Renhao from behind a pile of documents, and then nodded. "Ensign, pour yourself a cup of coffee, whatever!"

Of course, Tan Renhao was not so casual, he was still standing straight by the door. After Nie Renfeng signed his name on the document, he asked the secretary to go out with the document, and then he took off his reading glasses and walked over from behind his desk.

"Sit down, now, you're an official Imperial Navy officer, how do you feel?" Nie Renfeng was originally very easy-going, this was the consensus of all the teachers and students in the school, he went to pour a cup of coffee, "This is the last time General Gan Yongxing brought it back from the Gold Coast, I have been leaving it for more than half a year, and I have not had time to drink, how about tasting it!" ”

"Thank you, Headmaster!" Tan Renhao hurriedly took the coffee cup, Rear Admiral Gan Yongxing is a graduate of the 173rd batch, the winner of the Golden Sea Lion Medal that year, and one of Nie Renfeng's most proud disciples, and now the chief of staff of the Fourth Fleet of the Empire, that is, the South Atlantic Fleet.

"Sit, sit, you've been standing for a day!" Nie Renfeng smiled and patted Tan Renhao's shoulder, and then sat on the sofa, "The last car accident was really unexpected, but you are a strong child, it is a miracle to be able to fully recover, and what surprises me even more is that you are still the Tanhua among this year's graduates, I think, if I hadn't encountered that accident, I should have been the first to put a medal on you!" ”

"Headmaster, in fact, Second Lieutenant Fan Peikun has always been better than me, even if I didn't encounter an accident, it wouldn't be better than now!" Tan Renhao is a little too modest, for three years, he has been the best among the current students, if he does not have a car accident, Fan Peikun will not have a chance to stand on the far right of the first row.

"Children should have faith in themselves!" Nie Renfeng glanced at Tan Renhao a little meaningfully, "Fan Peikun is indeed very good, but you are different from him." The Fan family is one of the most prominent naval families in the empire, starting from Marshal Fan Shien, the Fan family has produced more than 20 generals, many of whom are excellent generals. However, you are from a civilian background, and you have already done better than any other cadet in just one bit. Of course, the founder of every Imperial Navy family was born from a civilian background, and I believe that one day, you will become the most prominent admiral in the history of the Imperial Navy! ”

"Thank you, Headmaster, in fact, I just want to do my essential work and do my part for the empire!" Tan Renhao smiled a little shyly, this is his character.

"Well, without saying that, I'm sure that in ten years, maybe five years, I'll be proud of you!" In Nie Renfeng's eyes, every young officer he sent out was like his son. "Now, I want to know, where are you going to work?"

Tan Renhao hesitated slightly, and said, "Principal, I will go wherever I am needed." ”

Nie Renfeng nodded slowly, got up and went to the desk to pick up a document, and when he saw Tan Renhao, he quickly stood up, he pressed his hand, so that Tan Renhao was not polite. Then, he walked over and put the document on the armrest of the sofa next to Tan Renhao. "Originally, according to the rules of the college, you missed the first opportunity to fill in the application for the first time, and you should be ranked last. However, someone has already discovered you in advance, and came to me half a year ago to ask for someone. Do you know Admiral Liao Hanxiang of the Fifth Fleet? ”

Tan Renhao nodded immediately. Admiral Liao Hanxiang can be regarded as a super outlier in the Imperial Navy. Originally a cavalry (armored unit) battalion commander in the Imperial Army, he voluntarily applied to join the newly formed Imperial Army Flying Unit, now known as the Imperial Army Air Corps, before the last war. He is an out-and-out "airplane triumphant" and a crazy aviation enthusiast. Less than two years after the end of the last war, for a particular reason, Liao Hanxiang left the Imperial Army Aviation Corps, "jumped ship" to the newly established Imperial Navy Flying Group, single-handedly established the Imperial Naval Aviation, and was the first to put forward the new naval warfare idea of using aircraft carriers as the decisive force in future naval warfare, and a year ago, that is, after the first batch of three fast fleet aircraft carriers of the Empire were put into service, he began to form the Fifth Fleet. This is the only fleet of the Empire that now has aircraft carriers as its core strength.

Nie Renfeng made a gesture and asked Tan Renhao to look through the documents, and at the same time said: "I have read the paper "A Brief Treatise on Naval Aviation Operations" that you published last year, of course, this does not mean that I completely agree with your views. Admiral Liao Hanxiang also read this paper, and he asked me to assign you to the Fifth Fleet. Of course, according to the rules of the Imperial Navy, you can decide whether to go or not. With your achievements, you can find a place in any fleet, or in any regional naval command. Moreover, now that the Fifth Fleet has just been formed, everything is still being planned, and the pace of promotion there will definitely be much slower, and if you can't become a captain officer in the first five years, then you will lose the opportunity to continue to advance. ”

"Headmaster, if Admiral Liao Hanxiang really wants me to go to the Fifth Fleet, I won't refuse!" Tan Renhao said very tactfully, if he had filled in the volunteer for his whereabouts, then he would definitely have preferred the Fifth Fleet.

"You've decided?" Seeing Tan Renhao nodded, Nie Renfeng laughed, "Okay, young man, forty years ago, I was just like you, of course, I believe that with your ability, no matter where you go, you will become the best member." Tomorrow morning, you will take a flight to Naha Naval Base! ”

"Early tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, a seaplane carrying mail!" Nie Renfeng patted Tan Renhao's shoulder, "Now, the dance party is about to start, don't miss the first round, otherwise this dance party will be overshadowed!" ”
