Liao Yingyu didn't blame her husband, she didn't want to blame her husband, she just hoped that her husband could come home for dinner. All the excuses Tan Renhao made up on the road were useless, and when he saw the table full of dishes and the bowl of hot chicken soup, all he felt in his heart was happiness.

"Go wash your hands and remember to wash your hands before eating!"

Liao Yingyu quickly entered the role, and she brought the last dish, which is Tan Renhao's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, "Don't steal it, it's such a big person, and it's like a child!" ”

Tan Renhao smiled and put down the piece of sauce meat that he had picked up with his fingertips. "Okay, go wash your hands now, and then come and taste Madame's handiwork!"

Liao Yingyu glared at Tan Renhao with a smile, and then shouted upstairs, "Dad, come down for dinner." ”

Soon, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Tan Renhao also washed his hands in twos and came to the restaurant.

"What has Dad been busy with these past two days?"

Tan Renhao sat down as he spoke, talking about his father, Tan Jingkang. Liao Hanxiang left Zhoushan two days ago to deal with a tricky matter.

"It's not our marriage yet."

Liao Yingyu lowered her voice: "Originally, we should have to worry about these things, you haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I have to be busy preparing for exams, and let my father do these things alone." ”

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, and then he remembered that the scheduled wedding time was two days later.

"Dad, come and eat, you've been busy all day!"

As soon as Liao Yingyu shouted, Tan Renhao immediately stood up and let his father sit down first. "Dad, I've worked hard for you this time, in fact, we should worry about these things."

"Where are you working hard?"

Tan Jing Kangle laughed: "I also have nothing to do, and you are all too busy to separate now, so I will do these things." Tomorrow. Your mother and Qinglian are coming, and they will be able to help when the time comes. ”

"Dad, you have to pay attention to your body."

Liao Yingyu smiled and handed the bowl of rice to her father-in-law.

"Then I'll ask Duchenne to pick them up."

"I don't have to do it myself."

Tan Jingkang took over the job, "During this time, I met several neighbors nearby, and everyone is enthusiastic. You have more important things to worry about, so you don't need to worry about these little things. ”

"Okay, then I'll be back for dinner tomorrow night."

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded. "Yingyu will prepare a few more dishes tomorrow for my mother and little sister to taste your craftsmanship."

"I don't dare to get the axe mother's craftsmanship to be applauded."

Liao Yingyu sat down with a smile.

"Your progress is not small, at least the current meal will not be unpalatable!"

Tan Renhao laughed as he spoke, and Liao Yingyu immediately kicked him quietly.

"Let's eat, eat."

Tan Jingkang also laughed happily: "Renhao, do you still have to work overtime at night?" ”

"No, I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Tan Renhao picked up the rice bowl. "Replenished the spirit. Tomorrow will work better, I'm not a machine! ”

Tan Jingkang nodded silently, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks. "Renhao. You also have to pay attention to your body, don't think that you have capital when you are young, if you fall into an old problem, you will suffer when you reach my age. ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and slashed two mouthfuls of rice while holding back tears. My father had severe rheumatism, and he was running around day and night when he was young to support his family and make a good life for his children, often buying some snacks for his children in order to save some money. He was reluctant to stay in a hotel and slept in the open air, and as a result, he fell into severe rheumatism. Now the weather changes in a lifetime and you get sick. Tan Renhao felt very guilty, because he had never cared about his father's problem, and he didn't even take it to heart.

"Let's eat, the food is getting cold!"

Tan Jingkang observed the subtle changes in his son's expression, and he never blamed his son. When Tan Renhao went home for the first time in a general's uniform, Tan Jingkang knew that his son was not the ordinary person he had always thought.

The dinner was eaten quickly. After eating, Tan Renhao took advantage of his wife to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and called his father to the courtyard outside. There is a not very large garden outside the villa, before Tan Jingkang came, it was all taken care of by the handymen sent by the Navy Command, and in the past few days, Tan Jingkang has cleaned up the garden, and also found a lot of new flowers and plants to come back and plant, which is very similar to their home in Wenzhou.

"Dad, you've made your old mistake again?"

Tan Jingkang smiled and shook his head. "Fortunately, the climate here is similar to that of my hometown, and there are no major problems."

Tan Renhao knew that his father was lying, and although Wenzhou is also a coastal area, Zhoushan is an island and next to the port, and the humidity here is heavier, which will make the rheumatism worse.

"I'll pinch it for you."

Tan Renhao walked behind his father's back and then helped his father rub his shoulders. "If Dad doesn't get used to it......"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Tan Jingkang smiled and patted his son's hand: "Ren Hao, sit down, dad has something to tell you." ”

Tan Renhao sat next to his father, not knowing what his father had to tell him.

"Dad, I also know that you are all very busy during this time, and Dad has been listening to the radio news and reading the newspapers in the past two days. Actually......"

Tan Jingkang looked at his son: "If you think it's not appropriate now, postpone the wedding." ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately glanced back at his wife, who was still busy in the kitchen.

"It's not that Dad doesn't understand, Dad understands your current pressure, and if you are distracted at this time......"

"It's fine."

Tan Renhao reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "It depends on the situation in the past two days, if it's okay the day after tomorrow, the wedding will still be held as usual, but the principal, they will definitely not come." In fact, I also feel that I owe Xiaoyu a lot, and I will be uneasy if I continue to drag it out. ”

Tan Jingkang smiled and patted his son's shoulder, and then let out a sigh.

"I'll do my best to get the time right, but I can't make any promises right now."

Tan Renhao took out a cigarette, "Father-in-law will probably come back tomorrow afternoon, so the wedding can't be postponed." ”

"Okay, then I'll help you make the rest."

Tan Renhao stood up. "Dad, you go upstairs early to rest, if you don't feel well, I'll call a doctor to come and check you tomorrow."

"It's okay, it's old and sick, it's not curable."

Tan Jingkang struggled to stand up. Winter is the most painful season for rheumatists.

"Then I'll help you in......"

"No, Dad, he's not old enough to need his son to help him walk!"

Tan Jingkang pushed his son away, "Go and accompany Xiaoyu more, she has been working very hard these days, that is, she has to review her homework, prepare for exams, and take care of housework, which is too difficult for her." ”

Tan Renhao let go of his father. He didn't want his father to feel old. "Then I'll help Yingyu clean up."

"Renhao—"

Tan Jingkang stopped his son who walked to the door, and when Tan Renhao turned around, he said, "You have grown up and become a real adult." ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, his father's evaluation may mean more to him than the emperor's commendation.

That night, Tan Renhao had a good night's sleep. The next day he went to the staff early to report. There was nothing major about it, and all three task forces sent planes to deliver the news to the nearest base. Then the news was sent back to the command of the Navy through the radio station of the base. The fleet was not subjected to a surprise attack. Combat readiness patrols are still being carried out in accordance with previous instructions. Tan Renhao also immediately went to find General Gan Yongxing.

"The principal has decided not to revise the battle plan for the time being, after all, we don't have an accurate judgment right now."

Gan Yongxing invited Tan Renhao to sit down: "We have strengthened the protection of the Second Task Force. All the bombers deployed on Iwo Jima began to carry out reconnaissance patrols. In addition, three fighter squadrons were transferred to Iwo Jima last night and two bomber battalions were replaced, and the fighters of all three squadrons were to provide anti-aircraft cover for Task Force 2. If Colonel Hao Dongjue's judgment is correct, then all we need now is time and patience to find the American task force operating in the waters off the Mariana Islands. ”

Tan Renhao took the teacup, and he expected it to be like this. Just as the war broke out, the Imperial Navy would not revise the battle plan because of a colonel's guess. However, this time Hao Dongjue's warning has already had an effect. The security of both fleets has been strengthened. The question is why the American fleet has not moved to attack yet?

"Maybe the U.S. fleet doesn't have a full grasp of the whereabouts of Task Force 2, and they don't even have a complete grasp of the whereabouts of Task Force I."

Gan Yongxing sat down: "We have made a detailed analysis, and the most likely thing that the US side knows is the approximate location of the activities of the First Task Force and the Second Task Force, rather than the specific location. Suffice it to say that the American fleet has not yet appeared. Now neither of us knows the location of the other, so everyone continues to search. And there was no rash attack. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, this is the only explanation. This is also the best outcome, and as long as the U.S. fleet does not find the exact location of Task Force 1 or Task Force 2, it will not attack. Opportunities also existed in the hands of the Tang Imperial Navy. If the U.S. fleet is exposed first, then the first task force and the second task force will be able to turn against the enemy, and even take advantage of the victory over the U.S. task force to take the Mariana Islands. Of course, this is only a possibility, and now it seems that it is more likely that the Tang Imperial fleet will be exposed first.

Not long after, Nie Renfeng also came to Gan Yongxing's office.

"Renhao, you already know the new deployment?"

Nie Renfeng was a little surprised, he thought Tan Renhao was going to be late today.

Tan Renhao immediately stood up, and then nodded to indicate that the chief of staff had told him.

"I just got on the phone."

Nie Renfeng waved his hand and asked Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing to sit down, "The cabinet has made a decision, and the navy will get a special budget of 1.5 billion next year." Allocations for two new aircraft carriers have been added, as well as other supporting warships and aircraft. This is good news, but the premise is that the Navy must first stabilize the war situation in the Pacific Ocean, at least not lose the initiative within next year. ”

"The focus is still on the Northwest Battlefield?"

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, after the Tehran Conference, it was impossible for the empire to revise its strategic plan, because the northwest battlefield was directly related to the fundamental interests of the German Empire and the Persian Empire, the two most important allies of the Tang Empire.

"The 6th Army is still a priority, and the special budget for the 6th Army is at least 3o billion."

Nie Renfeng smiled reluctantly: "The basic task of the Navy in 24 years is to stabilize the war situation in the Pacific Ocean, at least it can't retreat, if it can move forward, it will naturally be a good thing." This decision makes sense, so we have to complete this task. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, this is a matter of no way, but it is obvious that the requirements for the navy have been reduced, if it is just to hold the defensive line, then as long as the security of the two aircraft carrier task forces can be ensured in battle, the problem should not be very big.

"By the way, General Liao Hanxiang will arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Nie Renfeng stood up: "Aren't you going to pick him up?" ”

"Watch the time, I'll go if I'm free."

Tan Renhao also picked up his military hat and prepared to leave Gan Yongxing's office.

"I can't go to tomorrow's wedding."

Nie Renfeng glanced at Tan Renhao: "The chief of staff will try to spare time, but he may not have time." I've already arranged the rest of the things, so you can complete the most important step of your life with peace of mind. I wish you all the best if I have the chance, and if I have the chance, I will come and drink your son's full moon wine myself! ”

"Thank you, Headmaster!"

Tan Renhao also knew that at this time, Nie Renfeng would never go to his wedding, because he would leave others with a handle to blame.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to go, of course, I can't guarantee it now."

Gan Yongxing also walked over.

Tan Renhao nodded gratefully at Gan Yongxing, he could understand the dilemma between the two of them now.

"Okay, go get busy!"

Nie Renfeng patted Tan Renhao on the shoulder: "Come back immediately after the wedding, I won't approve your fake note, don't you want to be lazy!" ”

Tan Renhao left Gan Yongxing's office with a smile, and at this moment, he felt not only pressure, but also a kind of motivation. Maybe Liao Hanxiang's words are not wrong, as a soldier, in addition to fighting for the country and the nation, more often he is fighting for his own home, and this motivation is often more sufficient.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liao Hanxiang came to Zhoushan, and he also brought congratulatory gifts from Wu Xianyu and Lei Shaoqing. The wedding was scheduled to take place at ten o'clock the next morning, at Tan Renhao's house.
