Chapter 10, Important Screws (Part 1)

This time, Ji Xiaobin did not make Tan Renhao wait too long. After signing a document, he instructed the staff officer to leave first

After the three of them got to know each other, the lively and outgoing Hao Dongjue said: "Colonel Ji Xiaobin has assigned us to be responsible for the fleet's aviation training and the naval coordination of air operations. I heard that you are in charge of the air formation operations?"

Ji Xiaobin went to pour a cup of tea, forgetting to pour one for Tan Renhao as well

Second Lieutenant, Tan Renhao, the Colonel requests that you go over immediately

Second Lieutenant, please have a seat. How are you? Is everything ready?

He reads documents at an exceptionally fast pace, likely a result of training. In less than ten minutes, he essentially finished reviewing the proposal that Tan Renhao took two days and two nights to complete, of course focusing on the key points.

Indeed, I look forward to your guidance in the future

Tan Renhao awkwardly smiled, as Chang Jianxin's words were somewhat blunt, or perhaps he simply did not understand how to speak properly, which explains why he had to come from the Qingdao base to the Fifth Fleet

Tan Renhao hesitated slightly; although the colonel did not state it directly, the implication was already quite clear. In the future, the three of them would be part of the Fifth Fleet's Operations Staff, specifically responsible for air operations, with Tan Renhao serving as the head of this group, directly leading the other two members.

This literature holds significant reference value, while also providing him with an understanding of some fundamental knowledge regarding fleet air operations

You should go quickly, the colonel was here half an hour ago!

Chang Jian smiled innocently and said, "I heard that you were personally requested by Commander Liao from the Naval Academy. Someone who can be personally sought after by the commander must be extraordinary!"

Commander, everyone is here, but I have not yet had the chance to make the final modifications

A young man, approximately twenty years old, walked up. He was slightly shorter than Tan Renhao and wore the insignia of a second lieutenant on his shoulder

After bidding farewell to two new colleagues, Tan Renhao followed the sergeant orderly to Ji Xiaobin's room

The Naval Aviation University is the abbreviation for the Naval Aviation Academy. It is a school that was separated from the Naval Officer Academy, specifically responsible for training pilots for the Imperial Navy, and has a relatively short history

You are the advisor Tan Renhao, aren't you

Tan Renhao spent a little over a day reading more than ten documents related to naval aviation operations, particularly reports written by officers from the former land-based flight units and the current Fifth Fleet flight squadron.

Tan Renhao was taken aback. Initially, he was somewhat worried because there were several places in the proposal that had been modified at the last minute. He had originally planned to print a new copy, but seeing that Ji Xiaobin did not raise any questions, he felt much more at ease.

Ji Xiaobin picked up the plan.

In the end, he spent most of the day completing the proposal assigned to him by Colonel Ji Xiaobin

In the next two days, Tan Renhao almost completely returned to the two-point, one-line lifestyle of military school, moving between the library and the dormitory. However, the one delivering his meals was no longer Lei Shaoqing, but his sergeant major, Du Xing.

Second Lieutenant, we would like to ask for your guidance!

Tan Renhao awkwardly smiled for a moment, as Colonel Ji Xiaobin presented him with a significant challenge

Chang Jianxin was originally a navigator in the First Fleet, but six months ago he was transferred to the Qingdao base to manage the warehouse. He has applied for several transfers, but has not received any response. This time, we have requested him to come over.

Hao Dongjue smiled as he patted Tan Renhao's shoulder, as if he had already become very familiar with him

Tan Renhao shook hands with this new colleague again

I am Hao Dongjue, a graduate of the 24th class of Hainan Aviation College. I just arrived yesterday and am very pleased to meet you

Just as the three of them had exchanged a few words, Colonel Ji Xiaobin's aide interrupted their conversation

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, with two piles of documents on his desk, each exceeding thirty centimeters in height. A staff officer standing beside him was assisting the colonel in signing some important documents

I am Chang Jianxin, transferred from the Qingdao base. It is a pleasure to meet you

Second Lieutenant, it is quite clear that one of them understands aviation and the other understands navigation, but neither possesses comprehensive and systematic knowledge. You also come from a background in navigation, and your understanding of aviation theory is at least on par with theirs; this alone is sufficient to illustrate the point

Ji Xiaobin's words have a strong rhythm and are spoken very quickly

Colonel, they are all quite good and should understand more than I do!

Another second lieutenant officer, approximately twenty-five years old, also approached; he was the third person in this office

The Qingdao Naval Base is the permanent base of the First Fleet and is also a large naval base. However, it seems that Chang Jianxin is not doing well over there, as he is still a lieutenant officer at this age. It is no wonder that he came to the Fifth Fleet to try his luck.

On the afternoon of the third day, around 5 o'clock, Tan Renhao arrived at his office with a report that had not yet undergone final modifications and polishing. He had slept for less than four hours over the past two nights. Although his body was already extremely fatigued, Tan Renhao still appeared very spirited

Alright, you all chat first, and I will come back later

Ji Xiaobin closed the folder and said, "Second Lieutenant, you did very well. Have you met two new colleagues?"

Before Tan Renhao could finish speaking, Ji Xiaobin opened the document and began to read it quickly

Tan Renhao is very humble, but he can tell that these two are probably also aviation enthusiasts; otherwise, they would not have come to the Fifth Fleet

Second Lieutenant, what do you think of these two individuals

Therefore, I believe you are the most suitable person to lead them

Tan Renhao immediately shook hands with the new colleague

As soon as he walked into the office, he was immediately taken aback, for this place was no longer his sole "territory".

Hao Dongjue is a graduate of this year and an outstanding pilot. However, he has conducted extensive research in naval bombing, which is why he has been retained at the staff headquarters instead of being assigned to a grassroots unit. However, after six months or a year, he will be sent to the grassroots level to gain a better understanding of the specific situation

Indeed, at the very least, this is the best fleet plan I have seen so far regarding the naval aviation's operations at sea

Tan Renhao placed the proposal that was in the folder onto the pile of documents in front of him, as there was simply no space left on the desk to set down the folder

Ji Xiaobin smiled, which was the first time Tan Renhao had seen him show a smile
