After calming down and thinking carefully, Bai Zhizhan was relieved.

This kind of combat plan that requires the joint operation between the army and the navy is not sure what the army and the navy say, and must be handed over to the cabinet for deliberation. If it will affect the victory or defeat of the war, or even handed over to the imperial meeting for discussion, the final decision will only be the chief minister of the cabinet.

Does Xue Yuanzheng not understand military affairs?

How is that possible!

Before becoming the chief minister, Xue Yuanzheng became an army general and commanded the defense operations of the Icestorm Peninsula during the last war, making great achievements.

Even if he doesn't know much about modern warfare, his strategic vision is unquestionable.

Without full confidence, Xue Yuanzheng would never approve this combat plan, and would not enter the stage of implementation and implementation.

Liu Xiangzhen went to the "Imperial Capital", indicating that the combat operation had been launched as planned and entered the execution stage.

As expected, Lian Xusheng and Li Qing have both returned to the front line of the Ice Storm Peninsula.

According to Bai Zhizhan's understanding, the army's armored troops must have to spend a few days preparing before launching an attack, unlike the fleet that can fight after opening a military port.

There is definitely no problem with the chief assistant Xue Yuanzheng checking.

Why are you still having fun?

After the driver brought the coat, Bai Zhizhan took Zhou Yongtao to the Navy Office to complete the relevant procedures.

When registering, Bai Zhizhan learned that Zhou Yongtao was already a naval captain and was the promotion applied for by Li Yunxiang, but he used the name of Bai Zhizhan. Because the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet won a great victory, according to convention, he would definitely be promoted to a group of grassroots officers over and over.

This situation is almost the same as Bai Zhizhan skipped the lieutenant twenty years ago and became a captain.

In fact, Bai Zhizhan had long promised to promote Zhou Yongtao in an extraordinary way, but after returning to the imperial capital, he was tired of trivial matters and forgot about this matter.

Fortunately, Li Yunxiang is a person with a heart and has a very good memory.

Zhou Yongtao was also very grateful for this.

In order to keep Zhou Yongtao, Bai Zhizhan asked him to serve as the executive executive of the repair project of the Hengjiang River, almost as the deputy supervisor. This is similar to Bai Zhizhan leaving the local fleet twenty years ago and coming here to serve as the deputy supervisor of Liu Xiangdong and serving as the deputy supervisor of the Longjiang River.

Maybe this is just a joke between fate and the two.

Then, Bai Zhizhan took Zhou Yongtao to the main department of the shipyard and became familiar with each other.

Most department heads also know Bai Zhizhan.

They were busy until evening before they returned to the hotel.

Because there were several cars parked outside the hotel foyer, the service staff were busy unloading the luggage in the car, which would have to delay for a while, so Bai Zhizhan did not bother the driver and got off the car on the side of the road with Zhou Yongtao. They only took a few more steps, and the driver could save a lot of time when entering through the side door.

It is convenient for others and for yourself.

After getting off the car, Bai Zhizhan regretted it.

When the woman got out of the car parked outside the hotel foyer, Bai Zhizhan stopped. But before he could turn around and walk back, the woman turned around and saw him. To be precise, it happened to meet Bai Zhizhan's gaze.

Perhaps the woman had seen him before getting out of the car.

Bai Zhizhan was a little hesitant at the time, or he doubted whether he had recognized the wrong person.

Unfortunately, he did not recognize the wrong person.

The young woman dressed up in professional form is Zhang Xiaoqing!

It's really a pity that remains unavoidable.

Enemies are narrow!

"General Bai."

"Ms. Zhang, what a coincidence, you are..." Bai Zhizhan's heart was already turbulent, but unfortunately he didn't dodge, so he could only step forward and say hello with a tough bullet.

"Come here on a business trip, you're..."

“It’s also a business trip.”

"I just said, I didn't meet you a few days ago. My cousin said, you are not in the imperial capital, so you are here. How about it? Haven't you had dinner yet?"

Bai Zhizhan forced a smile. He wanted to say that he had eaten, but his belly disobediently made a protest.

"General Bai, I'll go change my clothes. You can eat it first, don't worry about me." Zhou Yongtao immediately realized that he was an extra outsider.

This guy was very clever and slipped away after he finished speaking, without giving Bai Zhizhan a chance to keep him.

As young people, they must have had a love experience.

Besides, I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen pigs run away?

After Zhou Yongtao slipped away, Bai Zhizhan had no choice but to go to the restaurant with Zhang Xiaoqing.

In fact, it was less than six o'clock, and now I had dinner a little earlier. After all, this is the south, and the supper time is a little later than in the north.

Perhaps in order to take care of Bai Zhizhan, Zhang Xiaoqing proposed to eat Western food.

This made Bai Zhizhan speechless because he immediately thought that Zhang Xiaoqing came prepared. Perhaps he had found Fang Suqing to inquire about the customs of the navy and knew that the navy was more Westernized in terms of diet, so he naturally believed that naval generals like Bai Zhizhan prefer Western food.

Bai Zhizhan just doesn’t dislike Western food, so he can’t say he likes it.

It may also be that Bai Zhizhan is self-indulgent, because Zhang Xiaoqing likes to eat Western food.

To be honest, the best place for Western food is actually the elegant environment.

As for what you eat, nothing special.

Bai Zhizhan ordered a steak and a matching vegetable salad, but he didn't ask for desserts. Zhang Xiaoqing asked for grilled cod, the side dish was curry potatoes, and a fruit plate.

To make Bai Zhi fight, he would rather have a large plate of braised beef with carrots.

While having a meal, Bai Zhizhan learned that Zhang Xiaoqing was indeed doing business in the shipyard, or to be precise, it was an annual financial audit.

The key is that now is the war period.

In the past, it only took two or three days to audit the shipyard's revenue statements and compare them with the tax returns to ensure that there are no missed taxes.

This year, there are more things to be audited, especially material distribution reports related to military orders.

According to what Zhang Xiaoqing said, she would have to stay here for a while, at least ten days and half a month, and she might not be able to finish her work by then.

Not to mention anything else, just the warships commissioned by the Navy are just a mess.

Even professional accountants will be dazzled by material reports, working hours and labor costs, overtime subsidies and outdoor work subsidies.

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't think of going home for the Spring Festival.

When talking about this, Zhang Xiaoqing complained a lot.

The general meaning is that naval generals like Bai Zhizhan only know how to order warships, but never consider where the cost of building warships, whether it is reasonable, and whether it has been misappropriated. In the end, the Ministry of Finance has to wipe the butt every time.

Bai Zhizhan was speechless about this, and he was not responsible for the procurement.

If you want to say, Zhang Xiaoqing should complain to He Yongxing because these are under the jurisdiction of He Yongxing.

In order to change the topic, Bai Zhizhan also told Zhang Xiaoqing about his coming here, but he avoided the important things and only mentioned the importance of repairing aircraft carriers. He did not say that repairing aircraft carriers did not require a dignified navy general to be responsible, let alone a general who had just returned in triumphant manner.

In fact, this is also the cause of self-esteem.

I can't tell Zhang Xiaoqing that he was defeated in the fight against Liu Xiangzhen, so he was forced to leave the imperial capital and come to Puzhou for refuge.
