After leaving the Naval Academy, Bai Zhizhan can be said to be a lucky star. Whenever he encounters difficulties or challenges, a lucky star that will help him will appear. For example, Li Mingbo, who saved his life on the "Beihe", He Yongxing, who promoted and cultivated him, and Gui Boyong, who was recommended.

Don’t forget that it was Gui Boyong who asked him to be an assistant to the navigation staff that he got the opportunity to perform.

"Why are you here?"

"Come to the shipyard for investigation and stay here for a few days."

The chef brought the two fried eggs over, and without saying a word, he went back to the kitchen to cook dumplings. It was the breakfast that Gui Boyong specifically asked for.

In the Imperial Navy, most people in the south are in the south, so they prefer southern tastes in terms of diet.

“Investigation?”

"Didn't hear the news?"

Bai Zhizhan smiled bitterly. This was a shipyard where workers gathered. You can't hear rumors about the 21st Fleet Command just by standing there for a few minutes.

"The war is about to end." Gui Boyong glanced around, and there were not many people in the restaurant. "In just a few days, the plenipotentiary representative of the Takaman Empire will negotiate with the Alliance Group in the capital of the Rock Republic. We are about to settle the negotiations here, and now only the negotiation location has not been determined."

"No more fight?"

"Now, no one can stand the battle." Gui Boyong hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice, "If the mutiny of Luosha Empire spreads, the current world order will definitely collapse. I also heard that the alliance group is more anxious than us."

Bai Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he immediately looked at Gui Boyong, and his face was full of disbelief.

Seeing Bai Zhizhan's expression, Gui Boyong quickly made a booing move, telling him not to say it out.

"You didn't lie to me?" Bai Zhizhan asked after a while, and then swallowed his saliva, looking lingering in fear.

"Commander He specifically reminded me to come to see you, and asked me to bring some things. I originally wanted to send them to your dormitory, but you were not there. They were all in the car. After dinner, you remember to bring them with you. Don't be polite, mainly for food and some things you usually need."

At this time, the chef brought two bowls of dumplings over.

"Eat quickly. I'm so hungry after taking the car all night."

After Gui Boyong said hello, Bai Zhizhan also picked up a bowl of dumplings.

Although he was extremely shocked, Bai Zhizhan had already understood.

The situation in Luosha Empire must be very bad, otherwise the Alliance Group would not be so anxious, and it would not be too late to delay the negotiations until next spring.

Since we want to talk, we have to prepare our bargaining chips.

Obviously, this is the reason why He Yongxing sent Gui Boyong to Puzhou Naval Shipyard.

After the negotiations began, not only the warships parked in the port, but also the warships built and repaired in the shipyard, were all bargaining chips for the empire.

"If you have nothing else to do these days, just be my guide."

Bai Zhizhan was stunned again because he was thinking about things at first, but he didn't react.

"You have been in the shipyard for ten days. You have been to the shipyard for almost all of you?"

After hearing what Gui Boyong said, Bai Zhizhan immediately nodded and agreed. Gui Boyong did not want Bai Zhizhan to be his guide, but wanted to go to him to see the world. To be precise, he introduced him to the leaders of the shipyard, at least he was familiar with him and would be more convenient to work here in the future.

"Whether the army and the navy are mixed together, or should we talk separately?" Bai Zhizhan did not hide his weakness. After all, Gui Boyong was kind to him, and he felt that he should share his worries for He Yongxing.

"You want to go?"

"Brother Gui, you can't talk nonsense, I..."

"If you say you don't want to go back, that's a strange thing." Gui Boyong smiled and said, "Commander He said that this negotiation mainly resolves major issues and focuses on ending the war. Although we want to participate, the army dominated. To put it bluntly, the main thing is about the Western Front. Whether it is a good or a bad one, it has no direct and powerful relationship with the navy, so we just do it."

"If possible, it's better to talk separately." Bai Zhizhan emphasized.

Gui Boyong smiled, but he didn't answer the words and even acted as if he was listening attentively.

"The armistice is the first, but after the armistice, we must plan for the future, and we will inevitably negotiate to limit our arms and use it to curb us."

“So…”

"Since the military is restricted, the navy is the highlight. It is best to talk separately and not to get involved with the army."

Gui Boyong nodded thoughtfully, as if he had understood Bai Zhizhan's words.

At this time, the restaurant door opened and two military representatives walked in.

When they saw a brigade general sitting in the restaurant, they were both shocked and stood attentively to salute.

"Hello, sir!"

"Sir!"

The two were obviously a little panicked, after all, the chief inspector Liu Xiangdong was just a colonel officer.

"Yeah, early."

After Gui Boyong's answer, the two military representatives immediately ran away.

Gui Boyong and Bai Zhizhan did not delay the battle. After eating the dumplings in a few seconds, they quickly left the restaurant to avoid delaying the others' meals.

In difficult times, it is not easy to have a full meal.

Besides, I ate in the factory canteen at noon, and the food is much worse, so many military representatives will try to eat as much as possible in the morning and get over at noon.

Gui Boyong did not say anything, and he did bring a lot of food, mainly canned fruits, and some tobacco and alcohol for gift-giving.

I was really attentive and thoughtful.

Winter is about to begin. Even in the south, fresh fruits are not available at any time, and canned fruits will soon be in short supply.

As for tobacco and alcohol, even military representatives are bound to ask for help.

A few packs of cigarettes and a bottle of liquor are not worth much money, but it can open the door of convenience when asking for help, saving a lot of trouble.

In addition, Gui Boyong has found a guide, He Pengfei, who is actually the driver.

After delivering the things to Bai Zhizhan's dormitory, the two went to the hotel first.

Gui Boyong was also very interested. He asked the hotel manager to open an extra single room and asked Bai Zhizhan to stop, saying that it was convenient for discussion.

All day long, Bai Zhizhan followed Gui Boyong to many places, mainly visiting the leaders of the shipyard.

Although the shipyard is privately owned, according to the War Mobilization Law, shipyards with the title of "navy" must be under the command of the imperial authorities during wartime. This is also true. The main departments of the imperial authorities, including the Navy Command, all dispatched management personnel.

All are officials!

It's very cumbersome, but it's very necessary.

Even though no official took Bai Zhizhan seriously and few remembered his name, after walking around, these officials knew that Bai Zhizhan was He Yongxing's man.

It doesn’t matter if you look down on Bai Zhizhan, as long as you are willing to give He Yongxing face.

During this day, Bai Zhizhan's influence on He Yongxing, to be precise, was a very intuitive understanding of the influence of the He family.

Not to mention anything else, when Gui Boyong introduced himself, he always said "the old subordinate of Commander He Yongxing."

The three words "He Yongxing" are golden signs. Even if you don't call to make an appointment in advance, no one dares to block them outside the door.

It is worthy of being one of the eight pillars of the empire, created by Hailin Duke He Hongyi, and one of the two traditional families of the imperial navy.
