Tan Renhao took a group of people to the hotel, which was regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for these generals, and this time Tan Renhao did not forget to ask for invoices. After dinner, everyone proposed to find something to do, but a group of people went to a newly opened teahouse in the city, there happened to be an opera troupe singing, although a group of young people had no interest in Peking Opera, but they soon found other fun, because the teahouse is associated with another Qinglou, the boss is the same person, and the admiral can also enjoy a 20% discount here, but I don't know if the service level will also be discounted.

Tan Renhao was present, Hao Dongjue didn't dare to mess around, and Chang Jianxin is not the kind of person who likes to look for flowers and ask willows. Tan Renhao also took this opportunity to talk to Huang Xiaotian, Yan Yulong, and Zheng Guanhua alone. also got confirmation from Huang Xiaotian that Yan Yulong is indeed Yan Dingyu's grandson. In addition, after chatting with Yan Yulong, Tan Renhao also felt that this newly promoted rear admiral would become an excellent fleet commander, maybe not surpassing Huang Xiaotian, but not much worse.

Zheng Guanhua is the most uneasy about Tan Renhao, this is not that Tan Renhao is prejudiced against Zheng Guanhua, or wants to keep Zheng Guanhua. Tan Renhao first inquired about the situation of the First Task Force, and during the months when Tan Renhao was not in the fleet, Zheng Guanhua managed the First Task Force in an orderly manner. This is also Zheng Guanhua's strength, and he is even better than Tan Renhao in managing the fleet. After learning that the fleet is now in the best condition, Tan Renhao has nothing more to say. Perhaps, Zheng Guanhua should really be given a chance to prove that he is not what others think he is, and that he is capable of becoming a good fleet commander.

In the middle of the night, Tan Renhao called Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin to go home, Chang Jianxin originally wanted to live in the hotel, but he was in Tan Renhao. Mainly under Hao Dongjue's kind invitation, he could only go to Tan Renhao's house to live. I'm afraid that the other people will have to spend the night in the city, at least Yan Yulong and Wei Dongbei, two young people who have been at sea for a few months and have not even touched a female fish, need to prove that they are still normal men. Tan Renhao didn't care about them, anyway, it didn't violate the law, nor did it violate the military regulations of the Imperial Navy. They can do whatever they like.

The next day, Liao Hanxiang returned to Zhoushan with several generals from other arms, and Liao Hanxiang mainly came back to determine the battle plan. Tan Renhao did not go to the airport to pick up Liao Hanxiang this time, because Gan Yongxing went in person. It was this afternoon. Hao Dongjue took a person to Tan Renhao's office.

"It's good to talk about the general!" The colonel's officer gave Tan Renhao a standard military salute.

Tan Renhao immediately returned the salute, and he felt a little awkward, because in the fleet, he rarely had such politeness with an officer. He glanced at Hao Dongjue, and didn't know why Hao Dongjue brought this colonel officer to him.

"Ren Hao, his name is Zhu Rongzhe. It's my navigation staff officer, I originally wanted to call Wei Dongbei to come, but I heard that the kid and Yan Yulong are still in the city. Hao Dongjue winked at Tan Renhao and said to the colonel, "Xiao Zhu, sit down, don't be so rigid, General Tan likes to be casual." ”

Tan Renhao didn't know what Hao Dongjue was doing with him blinking. He didn't have time to brag to Hao Dongjue now, let alone chat with the navigation staff officer of the Second Task Force, Liao Hanxiang's battle plan was only sent at noon, and he hadn't had time to read it yet.

"Xiao Zhu came back with General Liao, and I called in the middle of the night last night, just in time to catch the plane." Hao Dongjue pulled Tan Renhao aside and said in a low voice. "Ren Hao, didn't you ask me to recommend a new chief of staff to you? This kid has good ability, Wei Dongbei's old subordinates, if you don't believe it, you can ask Wei Dongbei. ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, Hao Dongjue's sense of smell is really sensitive, and his ability to grasp opportunities is really good. Think about it the other way around, now the 3rd Task Force. The Chief of Staff of Task Force IV has been promoted to the position of new Fleet Commander, and its best staff officers are sure to be elected as the new Fleet Chief of Staff. However, it is impossible for Tan Renhao to select a new chief of staff from the Fifth Task Force, so it is more appropriate to select outstanding staff officers from within the Second Task Force or the First Task Force to serve as the chief of staff of the First Task Force. If the staff officer of the 1st Task Force is elected, I am afraid it will not be enough.

"You talk first, I'll go and see if Huang Xiaotian and they're back." Hao Dongjue winked at Tan Renhao again, and then walked next to Zhu Rongzhe, "Xiao Zhu, you behave well, don't live up to our hopes, General Tan is a very casual person, don't be nervous!" ”

Tan Renhao almost couldn't help laughing, Hao Dongjue's words were old-fashioned, and they didn't match his character at all. It seems that Hao Dongjue has already greeted the colonel officer, and he has said hello well, asking him to take the high ground of the chief of staff of the first task force!

After Hao Dongjue went out, Tan Renhao walked to the cupboard and asked the colonel who stood up again. "Your name?"

"Zhu Rongzhe, Zhu Sedi Zhu, the glory of honor, the philosophy of philosophy." The colonel officer was clearly a little nervous.

"Want to have a drink? There was tea, coffee and half a bottle of wine......"

"General, white water will be fine."

Tan Renhao poured a cup of white water, and after putting it on the coffee table, he went to bring his cup of tea. "Sit down, don't be so restrained, just order whatever."

Zhu Rongzhe did seem a little nervous, and after Tan Renhao sat down, he sat down, and he looked like he was sitting upright, as if he was ready to stand up at any time. Tan Renhao quickly observed the colonel, who was not burly, in the words of the officers and men of the naval fleet, a standard fleet figure, not a marine corps figure. The complexion is dark, and he probably basks in the sun a lot, which is a bit strange to talk about Renhao, the officers and soldiers who served on the battleship have relatively white complexions, maybe they were born with it. There are not many features on the facial features that can be remembered, and the appearance is ordinary. The only thing that surprised Tan Renhao a little was that Zhu Rongzhe's expression should look much older than his age, and what made Tan Renhao judge that Zhu Rongzhe's age was between 25 and 30 years old was his eyes, which were not the eyes that a middle-aged person should have. In addition, Tan Renhao noticed Zhu Rongzhe's hand on his thigh, judging from the rough skin on his hand, Zhu Rongzhe should not be from the coastal area. Most of them are from the mainland, and they are from the northwest region.

"Are you from Shaanxi?" Tan Renhao opened the topic.

"General Tan, my ancestral home is in Gansu."

"Twenty-seven this year?"

"Talking about the general, I will be 28 next month."

"Don't use a salutation in every sentence, and besides, don't be so loud. I don't want people to think I'm interrogating you. ”

Zhu Rongzhe smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head, and the atmosphere relaxed a little.

Tan Renhao sighed secretly, at least Zhu Rongzhe's first impression on him was not very good. "You've worked in Task Force 1 before?"

"Nope. At first, he served in the Fifth Fleet, when he was only a chief engineer on a destroyer, and then he was transferred to the Indian Ocean, where he did escort missions for several years, and finally arrived at the Second Task Force. ”

"When are you going to Task Force 2?"

Zhu Rongzhe thought for a moment. "It's probably the end of '23."

"Then how did you and Wei Dongbei meet?" Tan Renhao frowned slightly, as far as he knew. Wei Dongbei went to the Second Task Force when he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Second Task Force, and he had been serving in the First Task Force before, so Zhu Rongzhe should have nothing to do with Wei Dongbei, could it be that Hao Dongjue was lying to him?

"When I was chief engineer in the Fifth Fleet, General Wei was my captain."

Tan Renhao then understood. "Looks like you're on pretty good terms."

"Actually, I didn't get much close, and I was only asked to be a nautical staff officer after General Wei came to the Second Task Force."

"Okay, tell me about your experience."

Zhu Rongzhe immediately took out a document from the briefcase placed beside him. "Talk about the general. Here's my resume. ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, took Zhu Rongzhe's resume, and it seemed that Hao Dongjue's preparations were quite in place, and it was clear that Zhu Rongzhe was asked to "capture" the position of chief of staff of the First Task Force.

Zhu Rongzhe is also a graduate of the Naval Officers Academy, only one year later than Tan Renhao, and is a cadet of the 144th class. But Tan Renhao didn't think that he had seen Zhu Rongzhe when he was at the Military Academy, maybe Zhu Rongzhe had nothing to attract attention in the first place. This is indeed the case, at least judging from Zhu Rongzhe's grades at the time of graduation, he ranked 48th, just a very ordinary student. Zhu Rongzhe's experience in the Navy was not complicated, after his service, he worked in the Fifth Fleet for about a year and a half, and shortly after the outbreak of the war, he was transferred to the Indian Ocean and served as the captain of an escort destroyer. Basically. It was a position with little prospect, and later Task Force 2 was separated from Task Force 1. A large number of captains are needed, and Zhu Rongzhe came to the Second Task Force at this time, and he was one of the destroyer captains reported from the third batch to the Second Task Force. In the following years, Zhu Rongzhe basically participated in all the combat operations of the Second Task Force, behaved decently, neither good nor bad, and went from the captain of a destroyer to the commander of the cruiser formation of the aircraft carrier battle group, and was already a colonel at that time. After going to the Second Task Force in the northeast of Wei, he immediately promoted this old subordinate to be the navigation staff officer of the fleet headquarters. This can be regarded as a carp jumping over the dragon gate, because it is difficult to get the opportunity to continue to develop in the position of the commander of the cruiser formation, and after becoming the navigation staff officer of the fleet headquarters, Zhu Rongzhe has the opportunity to become the chief of staff of the fleet, and then the commander of the fleet, which also means that he has a brighter future.

After reading Zhu Rongzhe's resume, Tan Renhao's overall feeling is that Zhu Rongzhe is not the kind of talented and intelligent officer he hoped for, which is a bit similar to Zheng Guanhua, and the experiences of the two are also a little similar. It can be said that Zhu Rongzhe was able to become a fleet navigation staff officer from an ordinary destroyer captain, and his own efforts and two important opportunities were very crucial.

"So, what are your thoughts on the future?" Tan Renhao closed Zhu Rongzhe's resume. At the end of the resume, there is another sentence that should be Hao Dongjue's note, with only three words: integrity, perseverance, and tenacity. These three words may be ordinary, but they can be regarded as the comments of the fleet commander on his subordinates.

"This ......" Zhu Rongzhe hesitated for a moment, "General Tan, I won't let you down!" ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed. "It's not that serious, take it easy. Let's say you become the Chief of Staff of Task Force 1, do you know what you're supposed to do? In other words, you know what you need to strengthen the most and what role you can play in the fleet......"

This time, Zhu Rongzhe was silent for a longer time before finally saying: "I will promise to do my best, and become the deputy of the fleet commander, and assist the fleet commander in commanding the fleet to fight ......."

Tan Renhao pressed his hand. "These words were taught by Hao Dongjue, right?"

Zhu Rongzhe was taken aback, and he nodded a little helplessly.

"Okay, you go and talk to Hao Dongjue first, besides, do you know Zheng Guanhua?"

Zhu Rongzhe nodded again.

"Then I will talk to Zheng Guanhua when I have time." Tan Renhao stood up, "There is news, I will inform you, after all, this is not something I can decide." ”

Zhu Rongzhe hurriedly said goodbye and left Tan Renhao's office with a nervous mood. Hao Dongjue was waiting outside, and he didn't go far.

"How's it going? Did I say everything I taught you? ”

"It's all said, but ......" Zhu Rongzhe obviously didn't have much confidence in himself, "It seems that General Tan is not very satisfied." ”

Hao Dongjue frowned. "What did General Tan tell you in the end?"

"He asked me to talk to you, and I went to talk to General Zheng Guanhua about it."

Hao Dongjue thought for a while, then nodded.

"General Hao, I think it's still ......"

"Come on, don't worry, it's already a success." Hao Dongjue patted Zhu Rongzhe on the shoulder, "Since General Tan asked you to talk to Zheng Guanhua, he must have decided." So, you don't have to worry about anything, don't worry, it's probably a joke! ”

"But ......"

"Go and prepare, ask Zheng Guanhua more, remember one thing, after becoming the chief of staff of the fleet, he is nominally the second-in-command of the fleet, but in fact, he is only the deputy of the fleet commander, and the core of the fleet is the fleet commander. Therefore, you have to have a good talk with Zheng Guanhua to understand the habits of talking about generals, especially the habits of command. I'll talk to you in a few days. ”

"General Hao, you mean ......"

"I mean, there's a good chance you've changed your uniform." Hao Dongjue laughed, "Don't think so much, have confidence in yourself, if you don't have confidence yourself, no one can help you, understand?" ”

Zhu Rongzhe nodded, but he still didn't have much confidence.
