Volume 1: The Empire Awakens Chapter 10 The Important Screw (Part 1)
In the next two days, Tan Renhao almost completely returned to the military academy's two-point and one-line lifestyle, the library and the dormitory, but now the person who brought him meals was not Lei Shaoqing, but his adjutant, Sergeant Du Xing.
Tan Renhao spent a little more than a day reading more than a dozen documents related to naval aviation operations, especially reports written by officers of the former shore-based flight units and the current Fifth Fleet Flight Wing.
These documents have very important reference value, and they also allowed him to understand some basic knowledge of fleet aviation operations.
In the end, he spent most of the day completing the plan given to him by Colonel Ji Xiaobin.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, Tan Renhao came to his office with a report that he had not yet had time to make final revisions and polishing. He had slept less than four hours for two consecutive nights. Although he was very tired, Tan Renhao was still very energetic.
As soon as he walked into the office, he was immediately surprised because this was no longer his "territory" alone.
"You are Staff Officer Tan Renhao, right?"
A young man, about twenty years old, came up. He was slightly shorter than Tan Renhao and also had the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder.
"I'm Hao Dongjue, a graduate of the 24th class of HNA College. I just arrived yesterday. Nice to meet you!"
Tan Renhao immediately shook hands with his new colleague.
Naval Aviation Academy is the abbreviation of the Naval Aviation Academy. It is a school separated from the Naval Academy and is specifically responsible for training pilots for the Imperial Navy. It has a very short history.
"I'm Chang Jianxin, transferred from the Qingdao base. Nice to meet you!"
Another second lieutenant, who was about twenty-five years old, also came up. He was the third person in the office.
Tan Renhao shook hands with his new colleague again.
Qingdao Naval Base is the permanent base of the First Fleet and it is also a huge naval base. However, it seems that Chang Jianxin is not doing well there. At his age, he is still a second lieutenant. No wonder he would try his luck in the Fifth Fleet.
After the three of them got to know each other, the lively and outgoing Hao Dongjue said, "Colonel Ji Xiaobin arranged for us to be responsible for the fleet aviation training and the navigation coordination of aviation operations. I heard that you are in charge of the aviation formation operations?"
"Yes, I'll need your guidance in the future!"
Tan Renhao was very humble, but he could see that these two people were probably aviation fans, otherwise they would not have come to the Fifth Fleet.
"Lieutenant, we still need your guidance!"
Chang Jianxin smiled innocently, "I heard that Commander Liao personally requested you from the Naval Academy (the abbreviation of the Naval Academy). Someone who can be personally requested by the commander must be extraordinary!"
Tan Renhao laughed awkwardly. Chang Jianxin's words were a bit too blunt, or he simply didn't know how to speak. No wonder he had to come from the Qingdao base to the Fifth Fleet.
The three of them had just chatted for a few sentences when Colonel Ji Xiaobin's orderly came and interrupted their conversation.
"Second Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant Tan Renhao, the colonel wants you to come over immediately."
"You should go quickly. The colonel was here half an hour ago!"
Hao Dongjue smiled and patted Tan Renhao on the shoulder, as if he was already very familiar with Tan Renhao.
"Okay, then you guys chat first, I'll come over later!"
After saying goodbye to his two new colleagues, Tan Renhao followed the sergeant orderly to Ji Xiaobin's room.
Colonel Ji Xiaobin seemed like a machine that would never stop. When Tan Renhao met him for the third time, he was still very busy. There were two piles of documents on his desk, each more than 30 centimeters high. A staff officer standing next to him was assisting the colonel in signing some important documents.
This time, Ji Xiaobin did not let Tan Renhao wait too long. After asking him to sign a document, he let the staff officer go out first.
"Lieutenant, please sit down. How is everything? Is everything ready?"
Ji Xiaobin's words were very rhythmic and he spoke very quickly.
Tan Renhao placed the plan in the folder on the pile of documents in front of him. There was really no place on the desk for him to put the folder.
"Sir, everything is here, but I haven't had time to make the final changes yet..."
Without waiting for Tan Renhao to finish his words, Ji Xiaobin opened the document and began to read it quickly.
He read through documents very quickly, which was probably the result of practice. In less than ten minutes, he had basically finished reading the plan that Tan Renhao had spent two days and two nights to complete, of course, he only picked out the important points.
"Yes, at least, this is the best formation plan for naval aviation operations against sea that I have ever seen!"
Ji Xiaobin closed the folder and said, "Second Lieutenant, you did a great job. Did you meet the two new colleagues?"
Tan Renhao was stunned. He was a little worried at first because several places in the plan were modified temporarily. He was planning to print out a new copy, but when he saw that Ji Xiaobin did not raise any questions, he felt much more relieved.
"Hao Dongjue is a graduate this year and an excellent pilot. However, he is very knowledgeable about sea bombing, so he was kept in the General Staff Department instead of being assigned to a grassroots unit. However, in half a year or a year, he will be sent to the grassroots to learn about the specific situation."
"Ji Xiaobin went to pour a cup of tea and forgot to pour one for Tan Renhao as well."
Chang Jianxin was originally a navigator of the First Fleet, but he was transferred to the Qingdao base half a year ago to manage the warehouse. He applied for transfers several times but received no response. This time we asked him to come over.
"Lieutenant, what do you think of these two?"
Tan Renhao hesitated slightly. Although the meaning was already very clear. In the future, the three of them would be responsible for aviation operations in the Fifth Fleet's Operations Staff, and Tan Renhao would be the head of this group. Later, the two people would be directly led by him.
"Colonel, they are all very good and should know more than me!"
Ji Xiaobin laughed. This was the first time Tan Renhao saw him smile.
"Second Lieutenant, one thing is clear. One of them knows aviation, and the other knows navigation, but neither of them has systematic and comprehensive knowledge. You are also a sailor, and you are not worse than them in aviation theory. At least, this can explain the problem."
Ji Xiaobin picked up the plan.
"Therefore, I think it is most appropriate for you to lead them."
Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly. Colonel Ji Xiaobin gave him a big problem.
