Volume 1: The Empire Awakens Chapter 38: Adventure (Part 1)
When Tan Renhao completed the "Naval Aviation Carrier-Based Aircraft Performance Requirements Analysis Report" alone, he realized how heavy the task assigned to him by General Liao Hanxiang was.
In Tan Renhao's three-person staff team, Hao Dongjue is mainly responsible for aviation affairs, but now all these things need to be done by Tan Renhao alone, which is very difficult.
As a result, after returning to the hotel room that night, Tan Renhao reorganized all the information he brought, and then began to complete the report that gave him a headache.
When people are busy, time passes very quickly.
When Tan Renhao finally sorted out the information, filled in the important data into several forms, completed the first analysis, and roughly determined how to write the report, it was already dawn.
After lying in bed with his clothes on for two hours, the alarm clock woke Tan Renhao up.
At noon, he asked the waiter to bring a box lunch, preparing to take out the first draft of the report before attending the banquet. Perhaps General Liao Hanxiang would need to hand over the report to Marshal Sagittin at the banquet.
Tan Renhao completed this performance requirement report based on the combat use of four main carrier-based aircraft and the future naval combat environment they will face.
When he analyzed the performance of the four fighters and summarized their performance in the bombing experiment, he was a little surprised to find that the performance of the "Big Dumb Bird" horizontal bomber was the worst.
This made Tan Renhao feel confused.
He checked the analysis results again and found no problems.
This made him completely certain that horizontal bombers like the "Big Stupid Bird" were dispensable to the naval aviation.
Especially when the target is a fleet, horizontal bombers are not only bulky and difficult to avoid the opponent's intercepting fighters, but also the bombing altitude is too high, and it is impossible to accurately hit the fleet sailing at high speed on the sea.
Even when attacking fixed targets on the ground, torpedo bombers carrying bombs can be used to replace the role of horizontal bombers. This will not weaken the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers, but will increase the number of the other three irreplaceable combat aircraft.
When preparing to write this idea into the report, Tan Renhao hesitated a little.
General Liao Hanxiang was a member of the Army Aviation Corps, and in the Army Aviation Corps, the horizontal bomber is very important, and the heavy bombers that the Army Aviation Corps values are all for horizontal bombing missions. If it is proposed to cancel the horizontal bomber, will it be opposed by General Liao Hanxiang? What makes Tan Renhao a little worried is that General Liao Hanxiang is a very sentimental person. If we want to abandon the classic theory of the Army Aviation Corps and let General Liao Hanxiang accept the combat theory of the Navy Aviation Corps, is this realistic?
Tan Renhao hesitated for a long time on this issue, but in the end he still wrote down the characteristics and shortcomings of horizontal bombers in anti-sea operations in the form of an attached reference opinion letter.
He could not fail to solve the problem after discovering it. As for how General Liao Hanxiang would react after reading the report and whether he would adopt it, this was not something that a small second lieutenant staff officer like him could care about.
“Finally it’s done!”
Tan Renhao had just stretched when there was a knock on the door.
He immediately looked at his watch and realized that it was already 6:30 in the afternoon, and the banquet was scheduled to start at 7 o'clock.
"Here we go, wait!"
Tan Renhao immediately rushed over and opened the door, then he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "Why are you here?"
Outside the door, Liao Yingyu was holding a freshly ironed naval officer's uniform in his hand, smiling at Tan Renhao who looked surprised.
"Why can't I come?"
"This... Of course, of course not."
Tan Renhao's eyes fell on the dress. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Come in, come in. Are you here to give me some clothes?"
"I spent the whole afternoon ironing this. Hurry up and put it on!"
Liao Yingyu placed the dress on the single bed in the room, then quickly glanced around the smoke-filled room, "You haven't left yet?"
Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Then he looked at Liao Yingyu with a little disbelief.
"You...you are General Liao Hanxiang..."
"General Liao Hanxiang is my father and I am his daughter. Is there a problem?"
Tan Renhao was so surprised that his eyes widened. He also felt that he was stupid. Why didn't he associate Liao Yingyu with General Liao Hanxiang ?
"Lieutenant, the banquet is about to begin, go change your clothes!"
Liao Yingyu turned on the exhaust fan in the room. "Also, smoke less. Unless you want to get lung cancer when you are forty, you should quit smoking!"
Tan Renhao smiled awkwardly, then went to the drawer of the bedside table and took out a set of quick underwear.
However, when he saw Liao Yingyu still in the room, he didn't know what to do. He couldn't let a girl watch him take a bath.
"Lieutenant, hurry up. Isn't there a door in the bathroom?"
Liao Yingyu frowned, "Or, are you afraid of what I might do?"
"No, of course not!"
Tan Renhao scratched his scalp and quickly went into the bathroom. He was not afraid of what Liao Yingyu would do, but he was afraid of what other people would say when they found out. After all, Liao Yingyu was a lady from a wealthy family and the daughter of General Liao Hanxiang. It was abnormal for a single man and a single woman to be together.
"Lieutenant, did you write these reports?"
Tan Renhao was stunned, and immediately said loudly: "Yes, the general asked me to complete it. Don't move it. Each document is numbered and can't be mistaken."
Ten minutes later, Tan Renhao walked out of the bathroom wearing the suit. He took a shower as quickly as possible, shaved off his beard, and put hair oil on his hair. He looked like a completely different person.
However, when he saw Liao Yingyu looking through the reports, he immediately walked over.
"Lieutenant, you write very well!"
Liao Yingyu smiled and handed several reports to Tan Renhao.
"You can understand?"
Tan Renhao looked at Liao Yingyu with some disbelief. Not to mention a girl, even if it was a man who had graduated from college, it would be impossible for him to understand these reports without some professional knowledge of aviation.
"Why, do you find it weird?"
Liao Yingyu helped Tan Renhao straighten the wrinkles on his dress. "I have never read those comic books since I was a child. All I have at home are books and documents about aviation."
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. It seemed that General Liao Hanxiang had a huge influence on his daughter.
