Chapter 10 The Dilemma of Hangzhou

Seven days later, in the Hangzhou Admiral's Mansion, a middle-aged man circled around the Admiral's desk a few times, with a faint suppressed irritability and depression on his face, and on the seat behind the desk, an old man was leisurely sipping tea, and from time to time he had the heart to tease the lark in the birdcage next to him.

"I said, Lord Admiral, what time is it, why hasn't the major you mentioned come yet, I think that a person like this who has no sense of time, no matter how good his ability is, we don't need to leave him behind, just send him back to the military headquarters." After another turn, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back any longer, came directly to the old man, and said in a violent tone.

"I said, Qianmo, do you have an opinion on me? What is the place where you are in the military department? The person sent there was sent by me, an old man, who said that he could return it? Like I have worked hard for the Federation all my life, and it is not easy to mix up my own territory, and I can live a leisurely life, if I really do what you say, do you think that the military department will think that I am lying on the merit book and relying on the old and selling the old? Will you just remove me as a commander? I see you're staring impatiently at my position, right? Do you want to report my resignation to the military headquarters right now, and then quickly give up my position to you? ”

When the old man heard this, his face changed, and he slapped the table vigorously.

"Lord Admiral, I'm not joking with you, you know, Hangzhou Naval Academy has also come out with a lot of good seedlings this time, these students have grown up under our noses, and people know the roots, it's better than those who haven't even heard of it, right? Besides, they are also locals, their relatives and friends are here, and once they face a deep-sea attack, we don't have to worry about them not being able to die, but the military department sent him- can he? ”

Seeing that the old man was angry, the middle-aged man named Qianmo was not afraid, and still argued with reason.

The old man couldn't frighten him, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "You're familiar with me, aren't you?" Dare to offend even the majesty of the Admiral, it's not interesting, it's really not interesting. Then he took a sip of tea and said: "I understand what you said, after all, I have eaten salt noodles for decades more than you, and I have seen through all the truths, but the problem is that there is no way." Do you know who recommended this captain? Dong Lao! Dong Lao, you know who it is, right? ”

"It turned out to be recommended by Dong Lao?" Hearing the Admiral mention the word Dong Lao, Qian Mo immediately gasped, and a touch of surprise appeared on his face.

The old man has always been a proud person, but he is not like other admirals who are proud on his face, his pride is hidden deep in his bones, such a proud person can call others Dong Lao, which is extremely rare, so Qian Mo knows that Dong Lao in the old man's mouth will not be someone else, but only the general in the Huaxia Military Department who claims to be able to silence all the admirals with a cough - Old Man Dong.

Ignoring Qianmo's shock, the old man continued: "I can trust Elder Dong's vision, and if someone can get into his eyes, there must be two brushes. But just in case, when he comes, you arrange him in a suitable place and see how it looks first. ”

"Don't worry, Admiral, I'll do it if you don't say I." Hearing that it was recommended by the big guy, Qian Mo could only give up struggling, but there was still a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the old man grinned silently, with Qianmo here, he didn't have to bother to think about the little guy personally.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the Admiral's office. The two people in the room glanced at each other, and they both changed into serious expressions.

"Please come in."

As the old man's voice fell, the door opened. A thin, plainly dressed teenager led a girl in.

"I've seen Lord Admiral, the destroyer captain Chen Xiaoming came to report with the Shibo." Closing the door gently, the young man turned around and saluted respectfully.

'Fukiba? Glancing at the girl beside the young man, puzzlement flashed in the old man's eyes, and Qian Mo beside him frowned directly, questioning: "Major Chen, what about the other ships in your fleet?" ”

"Report sir, no." Chen Xiaoming saluted Qian Mo again and said solemnly.

"None? How could it be gone? Qian Mo was very dissatisfied with this answer, he felt that the young man should explain in more detail, instead of prevaricating Shangguan with this vague answer.

"Report to the sir, I haven't recruited any other shipwives other than the Fukina." Chen Xiaoming replied.

Hearing this answer, the old man and Qian Mo raised their eyebrows almost at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise on each other's faces.

"This is the only one in your fleet?" Qian Mo asked in disbelief.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Chen Xiaoming nodded, Qian Mo and the old man couldn't help but be a little disappointed, especially the former, while being disappointed, Qian Mo's eyes flashed with annoyance.

After routinely inquiring about his personal situation, the old man sent Chen Xiaoming to the officer's dormitory to rest, and asked him to wait there for the next instruction from the Admiral's Mansion.

When Chen Xiaoming walked out of the door, there was silence in the office, and after a while, the old man coughed lightly and said, "Qianmo, what do you think?" ”

Qian Mo shook his head and said sadly: "Since half a month ago, the Guangdong defense line was lost, and Taiwan Province also announced an emergency to all the Admiral's Mansions in the next three days, if once the Taiwan Defense Line is broken through by the Deep Sea Clan, Fujian and Zhejiang Province may become the next target of the Deep Sea, this moment should be the time to vigorously enhance the military strength of the Admiralty, in this case, the military department actually sent down such a waste snack, what can I think?" What should I think? I just want to say, are the military departments all a bunch of old bastards who eat vegetarian meals? At the end, the middle-aged man almost roared.

It is no wonder that Qianmo was angry, not long after the invasion of the earth by the deep-sea clan, there were huge changes in the earth's crust, and now the entire Huaxia region except for Tibet, the rest of the provinces are in different depths of the sea, as long as the deep-sea clan breaks through the outer defense line, other provinces will be in crisis.

If Taiwan's defense line is broken through by the deep sea this time, Fujian and Zhejiang will bear the brunt of the attack, and Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province, and the deep-sea people have no reason to let go of this target with great value.

As the defense commander of Hangzhou Prefecture, in order to ensure that Hangzhou Prefecture would not fall into the flames of war, after learning about the situation in Guangdong Province, he immediately contacted those powerful graduates and wanted them to contribute to their hometown.

However, in this era, there are too few people who can be inspired by righteousness, and there are too many people in reality, these students rely on the large size of their fleet, and directly put forward their own demands to the Admiral's Palace, and the conditions of others are okay, but there is a cadet who gathered more than 30 high-ranking ship girls under his command and actually proposed that he must give the lieutenant commander a letter of appointment before he is willing to assist the Admiralty in the invasion of the deep sea.

If it is put in normal times, when he encounters this kind of student who dares to pretend to be an uncle in the Admiral's Mansion with a little strength, Qianmo will definitely not bird him, so he will turn around and leave. But now the situation is urgent, and he must fight for all the forces he can to ensure that the Hangzhou government is foolproof, so he must not only talk about this student, but also negotiate it.

The two had many long talks on the issue of military ranks, and in the exchange, Qian Mo made it clear that according to the provisions of the Federal Constitution, the Admiralty only has the right to recommend, not the right to appoint, which is a special precautionary measure of the Federation in order to prevent local forces from becoming bigger, and it cannot be changed at all, not only Hangzhou Mansion, nor any Admiral's Mansion can agree to him. Later, there was a recommendation quota for the rank of major in Hangzhou Prefecture, and if he was willing to sign the co-observance agreement, Qianmo could fill in his name on this quota.

Under such a flicker, the student finally relented, and saw that the negotiation was about to be completed, but the military department directly occupied the quota.

If the strength of the person who came was on par with this student, or a little worse, Qian Mo would close his mouth and admit it, after all, it was the military boss who spoke, and this face could not be ignored. But who knew that this student who came not only had only one shipwreck under his command, but also the destroyer Shikina, which was known for its poor performance.

Seeing this situation, how could Qianmo not be in a hurry! How can you not be angry! If it weren't for Dong Lao's face, I'm afraid that in front of Chen Xiaoming, he would have scolded a lot, where would he endure it until now.

After listening to Qian Mo's venting, the old man's expression became ugly, he frowned, his expression was full of doubts: "Could it be that Old Dong really looked away this time?" ”

After pondering for a long time, he didn't know the essentials, he spat out and said: "That's it, if you return the person directly, then the old guy has to be anxious with me, you should first do what we just discussed, if this person really can't do it, even if this admiral doesn't do it, I will let him go back wherever he comes." ”

After listening to the old man's words, Qian Mo nodded in resignation, he knew that this was already the limit of what the old man could do, in Huaxia, not every admiral had the courage to fight with the military boss.
