Liao Hanxiang took out a cigar, and Tan Renhao refused with a smile.

"Captain, with your contributions, even if I add another bar to your shoulder now, it won't be too much." General Liao Hanxiang smiled and lit a cigar, "However, there is a saying that 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'." I believe you also understand this truth, so I didn't put you in the promotion list for the first half of this year, I believe you can understand it, right? ”

"General, I can fully understand it, and being promoted to captain officer by skipping the ranks has exceeded my contribution." Tan Renhao smiled very calmly.

Navy ranks are not the same as army ranks. On the epaulettes of the navy, those with no bars and only silver stars are non-commissioned officers, while those with one bar are captains and two bars are colonels. Of course, the general's epaulette without a bar is a juvenile flower and a gold star representing the rank of the general.

Liao Hanxiang nodded. "This exercise was a success, originally, I don't need to tell you these things, but as one of the most important staff officers in the fleet, you should still let you know."

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, obviously what Liao Hanxiang wanted to say would be some confidential information.

"The results of this exercise have shocked Marshal Satietin, and it can even be said that it is shocking." Liao Hanxiang's expression did not change much, which was his usual expression when talking about business. "The First Fleet left in a hurry to go to Qingdao and Dalian for refitting, and the twelve capital ships, as well as a large number of heavy warships, will be equipped with more anti-aircraft guns according to the standards of air defense warships. In addition, the other three fleets, including the Second Fleet, will also convert all their heavy warships to the standards of air defense ships within this year. Do you know the Chengdu Ten Hospitals? ”

"Ten Courtyards?" Tan Renhao shook his head, but he was sure that this was a research institute that mainly engaged in military science and technology research, otherwise it would not use numerical numbering.

"It's a design institute that does electronics research, and now they're experimenting with an electronic device called a 'radar' thing. I haven't seen it, but I've heard that this device can detect aircraft tens of kilometers away, and see farther than the human eye. ”

"Radar?" Tan Renhao has a point now, he has already seen this new concept of electronic devices in several scientific papers.

Liao Hanxiang nodded. "Don't underestimate the military scientific and technological strength of the Empire, although it was not the scientists of the Empire who first proposed the theory of radio detection, the engineers of the Empire are definitely the best in the world. The Tenth Academy will send the first practical 'radar' to the Navy for testing by the end of this year, or early next year, at the latest, and I am already fighting for Marshal Saitin in the hope that our Fifth Fleet will complete the test task. ”

Tan Renhao immediately figured out the purpose of General Liao Hanxiang. If the "radar" thing can really detect aircraft tens of kilometers away, then it is simply irreplaceable for the air defense of the fleet. This will allow the fleet to detect incoming enemy planes earlier, and will have more than 10 minutes to organize air defense operations, so that more air defense fighters can take to the air. In these ten minutes or so, the survival of a fleet can almost be decided.

"There is a lot of research on it, and there is a kind of ammunition that even I think someone deliberately blows out." Liao Hanxiang laughed, "The reports provided by those researchers claim that this kind of shell can explode near the target, and use fragments to kill the target, even if it does not hit directly, it is very powerful. Of course, I think it's a little unbelievable, but if there are such shells, then the air defense of the fleet will be even better! ”

Tan Renhao was slightly stunned, and then laughed. He had seen such a report from General Yu Gengnian, but he heard that the relevant research was very difficult, and as for whether such a shell could be made, I am afraid no one can guarantee it now.

"Anyway, you have to believe that the scientific research strength of the empire is definitely very strong, and it is not inferior to any country." Liao Hanxiang sat up straight, "I can guarantee that in two years, the Imperial Navy will be completely different from what it is now, as for what it will become, I can't predict, but it is certain that the Imperial Navy will no longer be the most powerful navy in name only, and when the time comes, we will have enough strength to defeat any strong enemy." ”

"General, I really hope that day will come sooner." Tan Renhao also laughed, this is the common wish of all Imperial Navy soldiers and all Imperial subjects.

"Alright, now you have a new thing to do." Liao Hanxiang patted the armrest of the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you know the Chengdu Flight Command Academy?" ”

Tan Renhao was shocked, knowing that Liao Hanxiang had already helped him, and Hao Dongjue, Chang recommended a new arrangement for the next two years.

"Chief of Staff Wu Xianyu has already contacted this academy, and our fleet still has three training places last year, although it has expired, but the academy said that it can accept three cadets." Liao Hanxiang handed a personnel transfer form to Tan Renhao, "I'm going to let the three of you go to the academy for training." If the 5th Air Wing is integrated into the fleet, then we need an aviation operations staff, and you are the best candidate. The duration of your studies is two years, and after two years, you will graduate as a major, while the other two will be promoted to captain and staff officer. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. ”

Tan Renhao hesitated slightly, and then picked up the pen. "General, I accept any arrangement, as long as I can serve the fleet, I will go the same wherever I go."

Liao Hanxiang laughed. "You don't need to remember to sign, go back and discuss it with your two companions, hand over the form to Chief of Staff Wu Xianyu early tomorrow morning, and there will be a plane back to Zhoushan in the afternoon."

Tan Renhao immediately stood up. "General, then I'll take my leave first."

"By the way, there's one more thing." Liao Hanxiang stopped Tan Renhao, "Xiaoyu is also going to Chengdu Military Medical College for further study, and I will set off with you tomorrow, no problem, right?" ”

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly and nodded, what else could be wrong with this, you can't refuse this little request from the commander.

That evening, the three young officers filled out the personnel transfer form. Tan Renhao also took the time to find Liao Yingyu and told her the news, but Liao Yingyu had already learned about the situation from her father. In the afternoon of the next day, four young men who had packed their bags boarded the boat to the naval headquarters in Zhoushan. They stayed here for two hours, then boarded a fast patrol boat to the Jinshan Wharf south of Songjiang, and from there headed for the land of abundance.
