When he planned to attack the Panama Canal, Tan Renhao had already left Zhoushan and reached the sky above Zhoushan, and when he looked at the naval base below through the porthole, he found that Zhoushan had changed a lot. When the plane landed, Gan Yongxing was already waiting for him at the airport. On the way to the Navy Headquarters, Tan Renhao noticed that the Zhoushan Naval Base had indeed undergone great changes.

First of all, the highway has been renovated, and the previous two-lane road has been widened to four lanes, and the road surface is black, not the previous cement road, and later Tan Renhao learned that it is paved with asphalt left after petroleum refining, which is much better than the cement road. Secondly, there are obviously a lot of low-level buildings on both sides of the road, and at a glance you know that it is a barracks, if it weren't for Gan Yongxing next to him, Tan Renhao would have thought that he had arrived at a front-line naval base. It seems that the Navy is expanding, and the Naval Command is also expanding, otherwise there would not be so many barracks. The command of the Navy also changed its location, to be precise, an office building. The new building is not far to the east of the old headquarters, with eight floors high, and several elevators are installed, and the area of the building is at least five times that of the old headquarters, and it is designed to be multi-faceted, and the building has several sides, Tan Renhao has not carefully counted, but it is certain that it can now accommodate more personnel to work at the same time, and the office conditions have improved a lot compared with the past. In addition, the new building is closer to the port, and the changes in the port are not small, in addition to the two more longitudinal docks, there are also several more construction sites on the previously barren east coast, and later Tan Renhao learned that a naval test base is being built there, and I heard that the navy is setting up a research institute directly under the General Staff. And that's what the test base was built for.

It can be said that at that time, except for the general dormitory area, there were no major changes, and in the past six months, Zhoushan has almost become unrecognizable to Tan Renhao. In particular, a large number of new and new foundation projects are being built, which makes Zhoushan not like a naval command. More like which newly developed industrial area.

"Chief of Staff, do we have a surplus of funds this year?"

"What do you mean?" Gan Yongxing looked back at Tan Renhao, who was following him.

"Otherwise, where would we get so much money for infrastructure construction? Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that the Navy Command will have to recruit a lot of local personnel, right? ”

Gan Yongxing laughed. "You mean the construction that went on out there? This is not this year's surplus, but last year's surplus of about 1 billion yuan in military spending. The principal did not report this, and these engineering plans were all arranged last year, anyway, after the military expenses were handed over to the state treasury. We won't get any benefit, so we might as well improve the situation in Zhoushan. Don't make a fuss, there is no benefit without you, I will take you to see the SHKP office, I have deliberately left a good room for you. ”

After the elevator door closed, Tan Renhao was still a little uncomfortable, he rarely took the elevator before. Gan Yongxing's words make sense. The fact that the navy can save on military spending is not the credit of the cabinet government, so why should it be handed over to the national treasury? Even if it is handed over, it is only a small part, and the surplus military budget will be used to improve the environment of the naval command. This can be regarded as a reasonable arrangement to improve the efficiency of the naval command and enhance the combat effectiveness of the navy.

The elevator didn't stop until the eighth floor, and it was obvious that the top brass of the Navy were all working on the eighth floor, and there was no reason for the Navy commander to work at the receptionist's place on the first floor, right? As for why the Navy built the new building only on the eighth floor, it was probably for the sake of auspiciousness. Because of the construction of the seventh floor, there is no need to install an elevator. And the eighth floor is the lower limit for installing elevators. Of course, as an important military institution, as long as you have the money, you can install elevators even if you only build two floors. Tan Renhao's office is still next to Gan Yongxing's office, which, as Gan Yongxing said, is not only very spacious, but also faces the port to the south, and the windows are very large and very bright. Other than that. Outside, there is a special cubicle for the adjutant and secretary, and a small room for guests to wait and rest. The office is in very good condition. Later, Tan Renhao learned that among the six offices facing the port, in addition to him, the other five were all arranged for the top level of the Navy, including the commander, the chief of the general staff, the commander of logistics, the director of the equipment technology office, and the director of the personnel department. It was probably Gan Yongxing's special arrangement, and Tan Renhao's status as the future leader of the navy had basically been recognized, so he was able to get such a high treatment as a fleet commander.

"Well, that's a good condition, isn't it?" Gan Yongxing took Tan Renhao around the office, "All the furniture is made of the best redwood, in addition, there are three telephone lines, and there are a few bookshelves that have not been delivered, you can arrange it yourself when the time comes." As always, the side door is directly connected to my office, so I can come to me whenever I have anything important. Also, this door can go directly to the top of the building, and we are going to build a high-end tea restaurant on it, so that we don't have to go to the city to eat. ”

"Chief of Staff, is this a hotel, or is this a headquarters?"

"Well, I can't say that." Gan Yongxing immediately laughed, "In line with the principle of increasing the enthusiasm of officers and men, it is imperative to improve office conditions. And so far, the response is not bad, and most of the officers are quite satisfied with the new command. There are also some facilities that are being improved, of course, you can also give feedback, we need someone to give advice, so that we can do better! ”

Tan Renhao shook his head with a smile and said jokingly: "Chief of Staff, I think you should be the manager of the hotel." ”

"Come on, don't come and wash me." Gan Yongxing walked towards the side door leading to his office, "This is improving the welfare of all of us, and you are also the beneficiary." ”

"I know this, but isn't this too ostentatious, after all, it's still a time of war."

"Swagger? You're saying we're too luxurious here? Gan Yongxing stopped by the door, "You haven't been to the army headquarters yet, and the new headquarters that Yan Dingyu has done is called swagger." Covering an area of 400,000 square meters, I heard that there are 5,000 parking spaces in the parking lot outside, and I don't know if every officer in the army headquarters has his own car. In addition, the Prime Minister has decided to establish the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Defense building has already started construction at the beginning of the year, and now it is about half completed. ”

"Ministry of Defense?" Tan Renhao frowned slightly.

"Yes, this is what the Prime Minister determined before, and you should also know that it is going to be established together with the Air Force Command." Gan Yong

After opening the door and entering his office, Tan Renhao immediately followed into the design drawings of the Ministry of Defense building, which is called grandeur. The whole building is in the shape of a five-pointed star, more than 20 meters high, only 5, with a total area of nearly 2.5 million square meters. 00,000 square meters. Last time, I heard from the principal that in the future, the headquarters of the navy, army, and air force will be located there, and there are many auxiliary institutions, even banks, post offices, bookstores, medical clinics, telegraph offices, and even shops selling snacks. Don't believe it, if this building is built, it will probably be the largest Ministry of Defense in the world. ”

"And what are we going to do with the rebuilding of the Navy Command?" Tan Renhao was very surprised in his heart, it seems that the pressure of the war is not very great, otherwise the prime minister would not have used a large amount of money to repair such a building. In addition, the creation of the Ministry of National Defense, the unification of the army and navy, and the command of the soon-to-be-established Air Force, that is, the strengthening of government control over the armed forces, will also become a fact.

"Now, it has not been decided whether to transfer the military service headquarters to the past, at least we are not in favor of it, after all, the naval command has been in Zhoushan for decades, plus there is sufficient infrastructure here, as well as a naval base, etc., which are not available to the Ministry of Defense in the capital." Gan Yongxing walked to the cupboard, "What do you want to drink?" ”

"It's still green tea." Tan Renhao took off his hat, hung it on the coat rack, and then took off his coat, Zhoushan in early July was already quite hot. "But the question is, if the prime minister decides, can we object?"

Of course, the principal was only trying to persuade the prime minister to still let the Navy Command stay in Zhoushan, and I heard that Yan Dingyu did not want to transfer the Army Headquarters to the capital. As for the Prime Minister's decision. I don't think anyone can change that. Gan Yongxing made tea and brought it over, "Now we are taking advantage of the last bit of independent office time to repair the Navy Headquarters more beautifully." In the future, even if the Navy Command is transferred to the capital, it can still be used as a fleet headquarters and a theater command. It won't be wasted anyway. If the time comes to expand again, first, there is no reason, second, there is no funding, and third, there is not so much independent decision-making power, and it will be a lot of trouble. ”

Now, Tan Renhao understood, whether it was the army or the navy. They are all using the last bit of "free" time to reap more benefits for themselves.

"These are trivial matters, and the prime minister also knows that the rights of the army and navy cannot be withdrawn yet, and he also turns a blind eye to the expansion of our headquarters." Gan Yongxing sat down, and then took out a cigarette. "Besides, the headmaster won't go too far, after all, like you said, it's still a time of war. Everything is based on war, and when the front-line soldiers are still fighting bloody battles, we can't be too extravagant and wasteful. ”

"So, why did you call me back this time?" When Gan Yongxing lit a cigarette, Tan Renhao asked directly.

"Actually. I don't want you to come back, after all, the war on the front line is very tense now, and Han Shaofeng is about to launch a landing campaign, and Gu Xunlei's progress is also good, and you can still help a lot over there. However, I heard that something is wrong with the fleet, isn't it? ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he had already reported this matter.

"Since the fleet is temporarily unable to participate in combat operations. And you can't help over there for the time being, it's enough to have Huang Xiaotian and others watching. Gan Yongxing laughed, "Let you come back this time, first, to let you see the changes in the naval headquarters and know the new office location, so as not to get lost when you come back in the future, and second, you have been outside for more than half a year, and you should also come back to reunite with your family, otherwise you will say that I, the chief of staff, are impersonal." Finally, there are a few important issues that need your help. Or rather, it's up to you to deal with it. ”

"What's the problem?" Tan Renhao knew that the last was the point, and he didn't beat around the bush, so he asked directly.

"Actually, you should have already discovered or thought about these problems." Gan Yongxing went to get a very thick document, it seems that this has been prepared for a long time. "You take a look first, the principal is coming back tomorrow, and when the time comes, he will call us over, and this time you will come back, which is actually what the principal means."

Tan Renhao took the file, he didn't rush to open it, because he knew that there was a lot of troubles in it.

"Hurry up and read it, don't worry, I won't let you run out of free time now, and this is just some basic information that you should know in advance, and when the principal comes back tomorrow, he will personally arrange tasks for you." Gan Yongxing saw Tan Renhao's thoughts. "As for the front-line issue, as well as the matter of the fleet, you can put it aside for the time being, before you arrived, I had already sent a telegram to Lei Shaoqing, asking him to take full charge of the maintenance of the fleet, and Huang Xiaotian will also be in charge of this work, and now the command of the First Fleet is temporarily in the hands of Chang Jianxin, I think you also arranged it this way, right?"

"Yes, I said hello to them before I left." Tan Renhao breathed a long sigh of relief, "The principal has gone to the capital?" ”

"No, the principal went to Tehran, and it's been almost half a month."

"Discuss future combat operations with the allies?" Tan Renhao immediately focused his attention.

"That's basically it, but there are other issues, such as arms sales. Originally, I was asked to go, but then the Germans offered to raise the level of the meeting, and the headmaster had to go out himself. Gan Yongxing shrugged his shoulders, "The meeting ended yesterday, and the headmaster is probably enjoying a feast of roasted lizards and roasted camels in the palace of the Persian emperor." ”

"Well, then, I'll take a look at these things first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." 94b941

"Remember to come early." Gan Yongxing followed Tan Renhao and stood up, "The principal will rush back in the middle of the night today, he has already called back yesterday and asked us to meet him early tomorrow morning, don't be late." ”

Tan Renhao nodded, indicating that he would say goodbye to Gan Yongxing after remembering it. After departing from Cologne, Tan Renhao took a plane for more than two days in a row, landing at three airports in San Pedro Sula, Oahu, and Tinian Island on the way, and finally returned to Zhoushan. Fortunately, at that time, the Imperial Navy was already equipped with a large transport aircraft with four engines, a maximum range of more than 6,000 miles, and a cruising speed of more than 280, otherwise, Tan Renhao would not have been able to fly half a world in more than two days. This is Tan Renhao's longest consecutive trip by plane, and for more than two days, almost all of his eating, drinking, and Lazar were carried out on the plane, which also made him feel extremely tired!
