Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"Marshal, how's the situation with our truck going?"

Xu Le, wearing only a pair of shorts, had just stepped into the combat meeting room when Fang Yue and Guo Die surrounded him.

Xu Le was speechless: "Why are you in such a hurry? I slept for so long, how could I have the time to get a truck? Do I have to find it for you in my dream?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the stranger standing with Bai Shiyi in front and whispered, "Who is that person? Why does he look like he is very close to Commander Bai?"

Fang Yue looked at the man and said with a hint of contempt, "Oh, him, he is the navy friend in the National Guard that Commander Bai mentioned before. I don't know what method Minister Zhu used, but it only took one night to get the Military Commission headed by Commander Jiang to agree to allocate all the remaining navy to our Xu family army!"

Guo Tietie also said with disdain, "Commander Bai rushed to Brigade Commander Wang as soon as he received the news and asked the Aviation Brigade to send a plane to pick him up. He only received the transfer order at noon, and he was sent to Burma before it got dark!"

Xu Le couldn't help but twitch his lips. Are they afraid that the person will run away? They brought the person from a mountain city nearly 2000 kilometers away in just half a day.

I’m afraid the other party doesn’t even have time to pack his luggage!

At this time, Bai Shiyi also saw Xu Le and walked over with his men: "Marshal, let me introduce you to this old friend I told you about, the mainstay of the National Guard Navy, Zheng Shaokuan. If it weren't for him, the Tang Navy would have been disbanded long ago!"

Zheng Shaokuan looks to be about 50 years old, with a heroic look between his brows, and is probably about 180cm tall.

Zheng Shaokuan straightened his collar, straightened his body, and saluted Xu Le earnestly: "Hello, Marshal, my name is Zheng Cheng. I have heard that you are unconventional, and today I see that your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Feeling Zheng Shaokuan's gaze, Xu Le pulled up his pants shyly: "General Zheng, thank you for the compliment. With your joining our navy fleet, it will be even more powerful. I will have to rely on you in the future!"

Zheng Shaokuan is the only naval admiral in the National Guard, and Xu Le's status in the National Guard is still the second-level general of the army.

So, theoretically speaking, it should be Xu Le who saluted Zheng Shaokuan!

Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Shaokuan carefully. There was a lot of information contained in his words!

As a general of the first class, his knowledge is so broad and his mind is so deep, how could he make a mistake in military etiquette?

There was only one possibility. Zheng Shaokuan, who had just arrived here, already knew Xu Le's future plans, so the other party was not saluting the second-class general of the National Guard, but was saluting the special general who was equivalent to Commander Jiang.

Although Bai Shiyi was a good friend of his, when Bai Shiyi first arrived, he also went to the Political Department to chat, and was received personally by the Director of the Political Department.

Therefore, Xu Le was sure that Bai Shiyi would not tell the other party the military's top secrets as soon as they met.

Zheng Shaokuan might have guessed the purpose of Xu's army. After all, many people could see it, but Xu Le saw determination in the other party's eyes.

That means Zheng Shaokuan is completely sure about this matter.

There is probably no one else except Commander Jiang who can make him so sure.

Thinking of this, Xu Le couldn't help but smile to himself. Commander Jiang was probably already prepared to send the remaining naval soldiers to him.

It seems that we really cannot use the memories of the past life to look at this life. At least Commander Jiang in this life is much more generous in treating himself.

"It seems that there are no outsiders present, so I will speak directly. General Zheng, do you have any experience on aircraft carriers?"

Hate...

Bai Shiyi's eyes lit up. Based on his understanding of the Marshal, there is no smoke without fire. This was going to be something big.

Zheng Shaokuan thought for a moment and replied, "I did spend two years traveling between England and the United States in the early years, and learned a lot about aircraft carriers. It's a pity that our Tang Dynasty can't afford to build an aircraft carrier, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen to this point!"

Xu Le was also slightly happy. He had asked with a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect the other party to really do it.

Now the troops have completely established their foothold in Myanmar. Surat Thai's Myanmar troops are responsible for maintaining public security and repairing roads in the rear. The main garrisons of Xu's army are Indo, Mandalay, Yangon, and Pathein in the west of the delta.

Once everything is stable, it is natural to start deploying aircraft carriers.

Xu Le originally planned to let the guard team take up important positions and technical posts on the aircraft carrier, but now with Zheng Shaokuan, a lot of manpower can be saved.

"I guess you didn't go there alone. You should have brought a study team from the navy with you!"

Zheng Shaokuan nodded: "Yes, there are hundreds of people in the study team, but our study direction is mainly destroyers. I realized the importance of aircraft carriers in the future, so I set up a special group to study aircraft carriers! Later, this group passed on what they saw and learned to their officers and soldiers. At present, I have nearly a thousand people who can take up important positions on aircraft carriers!"

Fang Yue, who was listening nearby, was puzzled: "According to what you said, you have quite a few technical personnel from the original navy! But why is there no one who knows about aircraft carriers among the people brought by Commander Bai?"

Zheng Shaokuan laughed: "Didn't I just say that the main thing to learn is destroyers, and the secondary thing is aircraft carriers! And Brother Bai took away the soldiers of ordinary warships, and the aircraft carrier personnel are all here with me!"

"I see." Xu Le also suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the ratio was so one-sided, it turns out it was divided into two parts long ago! It seems that Commander Jiang had planned everything long ago!"

Bai Shiyi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Le excitedly and asked, "Marshal, can you tell me the truth? Are we going to build an aircraft carrier? By the way, the reorganization of the Marine Division and the Coastal Defense Force is also underway. Do you have to consider their equipment as well?"

Zheng Shaokuan, who had just arrived, was stunned. He had never seen anyone asking for equipment from his superiors so directly.

He naturally understood the Marine Corps and the Coastal Defense Force, which both required elite equipment to support them. How could the Marshal get them for you just because you, Bai Shiyi, asked for them?

However, Xu Le's answer overturned his perception.

"Yes, the aircraft carrier is on its way and will arrive in a few days! I plan to get one first and set up an aircraft carrier formation under the jurisdiction of the Central Fleet. The commander of the aircraft carrier formation will be at the same level as you, the fleet commander! As for the equipment of the Marine Division and the Coastal Defense Force, it will also arrive together!"

"Of course, an aircraft carrier is the only first-class ship. Its status cannot be compared with other ships!" After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Shiyi couldn't help but smile lightly, like a lackey.

"Hey, hey...they've arranged for the aircraft carrier right away? It'll arrive in a few days? Brother Bai, are all the Xu family troops so careless?"

Zheng Shaokuan felt that the previous 50 years had been lived in vain. In the former National Guard Navy, an application for artillery shells had to go through layers of approval, and it would take at least a month to get them. If things went wrong, you might not see any of them for several months.

And this was done in just a few words? Don’t you plan to do some planning? How to transport? How to distribute? Don’t you consider the subsequent funding?

Also, it seems that the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean have been blocked by Japan. Where did your aircraft carrier come from?

Don’t tell me they made it themselves. It’s only been a short time since Xu’s army entered Myanmar. How could they have made it so quickly?

As if sensing Zheng Shaokuan's confusion, Bai Shiyi nudged his arm and gently reminded him, "Brother, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. It's best not to even think about it. We just need to do what we should do!"

Xu Le's method of transporting equipment has long been a mystery; it is not only fast but also large in quantity.

But everyone unanimously maintained the same opinion. No one ever asked about the source of the equipment or how it was transported.

All they knew to do was to make their request to Xu Le, and then go to a certain place on time to get it according to Xu Le's instructions!

"Thank you for the reminder!" Zheng Shaokuan understood instantly and gave Bai Shiyi a grateful look!
