Chapter 219: Multinational (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Following the Pioneer spacecraft, China has built two new spacecraft, Qianjin and Great Wall. These two spacecraft, together with Russia's Starry Sky and the American Ares and Hephaestus, form the core force of the current Earth Space Fleet, and these five spacecraft are also the most powerful space warships on Earth. In addition, Russia's Yasen spacecraft is also under construction and, if nothing else, will become the sixth spacecraft of the Earth Space Fleet in two years.
With the formation of the Earth Space Fleet, Britain, France, Germany and other traditional European powers have also accelerated the construction of spaceships, compared with China, the United States, and Russia, which are one step ahead, although these countries started a little late, but the scientific and technological strength of the European powers is not bad at all, and at the same time, with the EU as the core, several European powers have begun to jointly build spaceships, and it is said that two spaceships with the same performance as the American Ares will be built at the same time, so as to become the fourth power in the Earth United Fleet to directly own space warships.
However, before the European Union's spacecraft were put into service, the military personnel sent by European countries had already been in place to serve in the Earth Space Fleet. As for other countries and regions, the situation is generally similar to that of the European Union, and according to the formation of the Earth Space Fleet, each has sent personnel to join.
"Sir!"
Zheng Jian got out of the car in a uniform with the rank of the Earth Space Fleet logo on his chest and shoulders, walked into the building quickly, and was greeted by two non-commissioned officers who had just walked out of it and stopped and raised their hands to salute him.
After returning the salute, the two non-commissioned officers left first, and Zheng Jian continued to walk inside, and soon came to the cafeteria located on the left side of the building.
"Hey! Zheng! As soon as I passed by the door of the cafeteria, I heard the greeting from there, and when I looked up, Zheng Jian walked quickly with a smile.
"Bruce, did you see the captain?"
"You're looking for the captain?" Bruce, who wore the rank of lieutenant colonel like Zheng Jian, shrugged his shoulders: "If you want to see him, I'm afraid it will take some time." Our captain is having a meeting upstairs. ”
"The meeting isn't over yet?" Zheng Jian looked at the time, frowned and asked.
Bruce nodded, took a plate from the side and handed it to Zheng Jian: "Let's eat first, when we finish eating, it is estimated that their meeting will be about the same." ”
The captain was not there, and Zheng Jian could only eat first, and then the facilities of the Earth Space Fleet headquarters were complete. The restaurant is also equipped to the highest standards, which is no worse than his previous work at the airbase. Moreover, considering that there are soldiers from all countries and nationalities here, the restaurant has also divided some areas to serve everyone.
Bruce, like Zheng Jian, is also an officer of the Advance spaceship, but Zheng Jian is the deputy captain, and Bruce, who is from France, is the first officer. Because of the special members of the Earth Space Fleet, and the fact that the current five spaceships are all from China, the United States, and Russia, a single country is not allowed to be the main body within the Space Fleet, from the captain to the ordinary soldiers. This is also to avoid the formation of forces within the fleet, which will affect the independence of the Earth Space Fleet.
Of course, there are still small groups, for example, it is easier for soldiers from one country to be closer to each other than to other countries, or to get together from similar regions and military personnel with mutual traditions. However, the system is not to eliminate a single situation, the system is only to improve and correct some situations, such as this situation cannot be avoided even if it is placed in a country's army. This is from the same place as in the troops. It is even a truth that fellow villagers are grouped.
But an army is an army, and an army is different from an army. Military personnel are not ordinary people either. As long as the system is perfected, this small group will gradually change with the trust between comrades-in-arms, until finally, every spaceship, including every detachment, and even the entire Earth Space Fleet. will become a real whole.
Bruce, like Zheng Jian, is an extremely good air force officer in their respective countries, and they didn't know each other very well at first. Bruce, who was 3 years older than Zheng Jian, felt that the two had the same military ranks, and he was just the first officer, while Zheng Jian was the deputy captain. This was not satisfactory to Bruce, who had been awarded the presidential medal. For this reason, the proud Bruce always felt that Zheng Jian took advantage of the status of Chinese soldiers, because in his opinion, the power of the Chinese was almost equal to the Americans in the entire Earth Space Fleet, if not so, their positions should be reversed, and the position of vice captain should be his.
As for Zheng Jian, he is also a high-minded and arrogant person, not to mention that as an experienced officer, he also knows that if he can't hold down his subordinates at the beginning of his tenure, it will affect his prestige and future command. Although Bruce didn't say it explicitly, Zheng Jian saw his thoughts at a glance, and the next day deliberately took the opportunity of training, Zheng Jian took the initiative to propose to Bruce that the two of them "have a play" in private.
What the final outcome of the battle between Zheng Jian and Bruce in the simulation cabin was, no one except them was clear. However, after they fought in the simulation cabin for more than 2 hours, this pair of young officers who had not looked at each other at the moment ago actually seemed to have become old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Since then, they have become a pair of partners with tacit cooperation, and under the influence of the two of them, the soldiers of the Advance spacecraft quickly became one, and they were the first team in the entire space fleet to complete the run-in, thus being rewarded by the fleet headquarters.
After taking some food, Zheng Jian took the plate and Bruce to the officer's dining place, although the Earth Space Fleet is a global organization, the fleet has a clear hierarchy from the moment it was established, and there is no unanimous thing between officers and soldiers here, the army is a violent institution, the hierarchy is strict, and the boundaries between soldiers, non-commissioned officers, junior officers, and senior officers are very clear, even in the cafeteria, at first this situation made Zheng Jian, including the comrades-in-arms from China, very unaccustomed, but after a long time, it will be natural, And after adapting to this different model, I felt some benefits that I didn't expect before.
"Didn't you go to the logistics department in the morning? Why did you come back so early? Cutting a steak, Bruce couldn't help but ask.
"Don't mention it......." Zheng Jian took the steamed bun and took a bite, chewed the braised beef with a spoon and said: "The logistics department said that our supplies will be ready to be received in a day, but I came back early with empty hands." ”
"What! Another day? Says who? Bruce asked, wide-eyed.
"Who else, bastard Chekov!" Zheng Jian bit the steamed bun fiercely, as if this was the Chekov in his mouth. Obviously, the above arrangement was to receive the supplies today, but after he passed on time, he actually got a reply that he would be asked to wait for another day, and if he was notified in advance, it would be forgotten, but Chekov waited for him to go before he said, this is not clear about tossing people.
"This damn Russian ......." Bruce almost scolded the three words Russian, and stopped immediately after saying that it didn't feel right, knowing that their captain was Russian, and if this word reached the captain's ears, he had to give himself a look. (To be continued......)
PS: Yesterday was almost a car accident, damn the road administration at the intersection to put an isolation pier does not know to use reflective paint, and the intersection of three lanes of a single lane, rainy day street lights and broken, almost directly overturned people injured! Fortunately, at the last moment, the steering wheel was hit urgently, and the car was cocked 30 degrees to wipe past the side of the isolation pier, and the person was fine, and the left front and left rear tires burst on the spot, which was really infuriating!
