Chapter 39: The Truth of History: The Battle of the Battleship I

After being promoted to major general, Chen Dao was overjoyed and Garland sent Redder and others to the door of the Air Force headquarters building.

Looking at the navy convoy that was gradually moving away, Chen Dao turned to Garland and said, "Did you hear that, we will go to the navy next Monday to take up a job." You go back and pack your bags right now, and then come back to me, we're going to work out a plan for the development of naval aviation before we take office, it's Wednesday and we're on a tight schedule. ”

Garland put away the smile on his promotion. "I'll go back and pack my bags right away." Then he saluted and said goodbye to Chen Dao.

Seeing off the furious Garand, Chen Dao returned to Goering's office, sat down opposite Goering, and leaned back in his chair in a daze.

In less than a day, Ben Gangster turned out to be a general, and also became the commander of naval aviation. Is this an illusion or reality?

Goering raised his hand and threw Chen Dao a cigar and teased: "Heinz, how does it feel to be the youngest general in Germany, do you want to make a promotion speech?" ”

"No, I don't." Chen Dao looked up to the sky expressionlessly, lit his cigar stiffly, took two puffs, bounced up, and asked Goering, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" ”

"Smoking a cigar means you're not dreaming." Goering said.

"Well, I'm still living in reality." Chen Dao finally recognized the reality.

Subsequently, the brother-in-law and brother-in-law conspired about the development of naval aviation, and it was the brother-in-law who gave the brother-in-law some guidance from a high position, until Goering's adjutant reported that Lieutenant Colonel Garland had returned・・・・・・

Garand's luggage was not much, only two suitcases, and Chen Dao took him back to the regimental headquarters of Hermangolin's regiment and arranged for him to stay.

Upon hearing the important news that Chen Dao was about to become commander of naval aviation and was still the commander of the Herman Goering Regiment, Mandol immediately sent a polite blessing to Chen Dao.

"After I leave, you will be solely responsible for the affairs of the regiment. I'm going to be very busy for the next three months, and unless I run into something you can't solve, it's best not to bother me, and of course, I'll come back to visit you when I'm free. Chen Dao said.

Mandol said that he understood, and then said in his stomach that the circle of the Navy and the Air Force is really too chaotic, or is our Army more pure.

Chen Dao's gaze was fixed on the air force uniform on Mantufel's body, and he suddenly remembered that Mantufil was a cross-circle person across the army circle and the air force circle, and he and Garland accidentally became a cross-circle person across the air force circle and the navy circle, does this mean that the cross-circle movement is on the rise in the German world and will become a popular sport in the German world in the future?

For the next three days, the guards of Hermangolin's regimental headquarters would see the lights in the regimental commander's office until late at night; Every day after midnight, the officers on duty in the officers' quarters open their doors for the regimental commander who leaves early and returns late, and Lieutenant Colonel Garland.

On Sunday morning, Chen Dao and Garand said goodbye to the officers headed by Mandolfer and set off for the port of Kiel.

The Port of Kiel is located in northern Germany and is the capital of the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is located at the east mouth of the Kiel Canal, 11 kilometers from the mouth of the sea. In the second half of the 19th century, it became a military port and an important naval base. With the opening of the Kiel Canal, the economy developed rapidly, and gradually became a railway hub and fishing base in Germany. Kiel's industry is dominated by shipbuilding and machine building, with shipbuilding second only to Hamburg.

The Command of the Submarine Forces and the Command of the Reconnaissance Forces of the German Navy were located in the port of Kiel. With the establishment of the German naval aviation, there was an additional naval aviation command in the port of Kiel.

On Monday morning, Mr. Chen and Mr. Garland stepped out of their cars and stood in front of a gray three-story building.

After showing the guards the naval officer ID cards that they had already prepared, the two walked into the building amid the guards' gun salute.

Facing the gate was a reception desk, and the person in charge of the reception desk was a naval lieutenant, and when he saw Chen Dao and others wearing air force uniforms, the lieutenant who had already been notified immediately guessed the identity of the other party.

The lieutenant stood up and saluted, and when he saw the naval officer ID cards displayed by Chen Dao and others, the lieutenant confirmed that Chen Dao was the commander he was waiting for.

"This Captain Bach is my aide-de-camp, and he needs an office. The four paratroopers are my orderlies and need a rest room, you arrange it right away. Chen Dao ordered without seeing it.

The lieutenant ordered a receptionist to lead the four paratroopers to the lounge, and he personally took Chen Dao and the others straight to the third floor, which was full of offices and adjutant rooms except for the easternmost conference room.

Asking the lieutenant to inform the officers to come to the conference room for a meeting, Chen Dao walked into the office. At first glance, Chen Dao saw a delicate cardboard box on his desk, could it be a gift from the Navy? Chen Dao opened the carton curiously and saw that there was a neatly stacked rear admiral uniform in the carton.

Chen Dao picked up the cardboard box and walked into the suite of the office, and when he came out again, Air Force Colonel Chen Dao turned into Rear Admiral Chen Dao.

Chen Dao came to the easternmost conference room on the third floor, sat in the main seat in the middle of the conference table, and looked at the heads of people surging on both sides of the conference table, Chen Dao's heart gushed out a hot current, and the team of bandits grew again.

"Ahem." Chen Dao coughed lightly and said: "I am Heinz von Rosen, and from today I will be the commander of the naval aviation. ”

The introduction of the crowd was simple and straightforward, and it was over quickly. Chen Dao memorized three names, Colonel Leibniz, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Naval Aviation, Colonel Ohm, the commander of the scheduled Zeppelin, and Captain Lorenz, the adjutant assigned to him by the Navy.

"There is a convention at the headquarters of the Navy on Saturday morning, and I need to present to Marshal Raeder the plan for the development of naval aviation at the congress, and Colonel Garland has a plan there, Colonel Leibniz, and you cooperate with Colonel Garland to refine this plan, and give me the first version of the plan on Wednesday, which I will revise on Thursday and Friday, and I will take it to a meeting on Saturday."

Colonel Leibniz said succinctly: "There is no problem. Then he glanced at Garand, and his heart was slightly rippling. These two young over-the-top superiors have already made a plan, just to see what they are capable of?

"Colonel Ohm, regarding the training of pilots of the USS Zeppelin, Colonel Garland also has a plan there, you go to him after the meeting, if you are sure that there is no problem, bring it to me for signature, the training of carrier-based aircraft pilots is very difficult, we must seize the time and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

Hearing Chen Dao's words, the eyes of the naval officers in the conference room converged on Garand again. The people around him were looking at Garand, but Chen Dao, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the people around him quietly, and he clearly distinguished the meaning revealed in the eyes of those naval officers, some were jealous, some were suspicious, some were disapproving, but there was no trust.

Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, ancient and modern China and foreign countries are like this, Chen Dao sighed in his heart, and then cleaned up his mood and said calmly: "Captain Lorenz." ”

Chen Dao looked at his adjutant and said: "Inform the people in the logistics department that the wall behind the reception desk on the first floor should be beautified, and a sentence should be added under the naval flag, science and technology are the first combat effectiveness, remember, the words should be eye-catching." ”

After admonishing Captain Lorenz, Chen Dao looked around at the people in the room and said: "Science and technology are the first combat strength, and this sentence is the concept of our naval aviation, and you all have to remember it." ”
