was a little refuted by Chen Ming, and General Waterhouse only paused for a moment before immediately expressing his understanding.

As for whether he would have a grudge, Chen Ming didn't care too much. After all, the other party is only the commander of the Guam base, not the commander of the Bald Eagle fleet. Wait until tomorrow to leave here, and probably never see the white general again.

After all, unlike many small countries that need to rely on the Bald Eagle Navy for supplies, although the number of ships sent by the Southeast Fleet this time is not large, half of them are logistics ships. If you are not participating in other countries' exercises, you need to abide by the regulations of other countries to assemble here. Chen Ming believed that the soldiers could directly drive the warship to Hawaii.

Despite his apparent silence, General Waterhouse was not very relieved in his heart. It can be seen with the naked eye that after this incident, the original enthusiastic attitude has suddenly cooled down a lot.

Naturally, he would not blame Chen Ming for this incident, but Murakita's second son from Haizi was a little impatient, but he was suppressed by his own chief rice field.

As a result, the ending of the reception banquet is not a happy one, but it is also harmless.

After the reception banquet, John asked Chen Ming to get together alone. Faced with John's invitation, Chen Ming was a little hesitant. After all, time has passed, and neither Chen Ming nor John are now the low-level officers who had difficulty accessing confidential matters in the past.

As you get older, your rank increases. The two sides will have more and more concerns, plus they haven't seen each other for more than a decade. This is a reason to want to be together, but it is also an uncertain factor. No one knows what has become of the other.

It may be a bit impersonal to say that, but the reality is often just that.

To Chen Ming's surprise, the editor readily agreed to Chen Ming's invitation. Looking at Zheng Yuanhai's look at himself, Chen Ming suddenly understood that perhaps Zheng Yuanhai came forward to explain the relationship between them.

"Hey, Chen. Is your system too strict? ”

When inviting Chen Ming, Chen Ming showed hesitation. and the response of the leader, John who was nearby, could see it clearly. After Chen Ming's comrades-in-arms left, John asked.

"I can't talk about it. After all, it's a mission period, so it's good to have a chance to be alone. Didn't you see that the other fighters were working in teams? ”

Chen Ming walked with John as he pointed to the soldiers who were moving around the camp.

"Well, that means you can't drink right now, right?"

Bald Eagle's Military Club, or Inside the Bar. John, who had just walked into the store, greeted the bartender familiarly and looked at Chen Ming.

"A glass of milk, thank you."

Smiling and ordering his drink, he also replied to John's question. Chen Ming hurriedly changed the topic.

"Where's White, that kid? Why haven't you seen him all this time? I remember when he and you were on the USS Reagan. ”

"He retired a long time ago, and he only signed two contracts."

The beer John ordered, like Chen Ming's milk, took almost no time to make. After the two of them found a small free table and sat down, listening to the soothing blues, John spoke slowly.

Now he has a flight school for the rich and the freaked out. After all, he has a good father, whether it is the principal, or the connections, the customer ......"

"Look away, John. Birth is something we can't decide, but the direction of our lives should be decided by us. ”

In John's words, there is no lack of envy for White. Even this point was completely undisguised, feeling the sudden and somewhat depressing atmosphere, Chen Ming had no choice but to open his mouth and persuade slightly.

Chen Ming can understand John, or in other words, Chen Ming is not qualified to accuse John of anything. Everyone's life is different, and how can you empathize? That's too exaggerated, Chen Ming can't do it.

"Don't worry, I'm not complaining about anything. We're still friends, brothers. It's a pity that you are not a soldier of Bald Eagle, otherwise our three brothers will ..... together."

As he spoke, John suddenly stopped. It doesn't seem good to talk about this when you talk about the old days.

"I'll call White and tell him about your visit to Hawaii. Trust me, he's going crazy with joy. ”

"Well, thank you, John. After I go back, I will also apply to the leaders to see if I can have a drink with you after the military exercise. ”

After saying this, Chen Ming drank all the milk in front of him. Immediately asked to say goodbye, and there was a trace of reluctance and remorse in John's expression, but also a hint of relief. Laughed and said "bye".

Throughout the exchange, John's complaints made the atmosphere particularly oppressive. It's not that John didn't notice this, but these words, except for Chen Ming. To the others, he couldn't speak.

Only such an old brother who has nothing to do with his current life can confide. When Chen Ming heard these words, it would not affect John's career or his life.

This is a plus, but it also has a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that the lives of the two have not intersected for a long time, resulting in the two now having little in common.

Some people may say that they are all navy, and now the RIMPAC military exercise is a great topic. But this is not the case.

On the way back, Chen Ming was thinking about this. From General Waterhouse's feigned enthusiasm to John's reticence on the topic of RIMPAC exercises.

It is not difficult for Chen Ming to find out that this military exercise. Although the Bald Eagle Navy invited itself and others to participate, it did not really regard itself and others as part of the military exercise.

But if you think about it, you can understand that your country holds a military exercise. I believe that I will not open the core content of the joint exercises to the Bald Eagle Navy.

For example, data link sharing and other accounts. The risks are too great. In case some Trojans are implanted in the process of data link sharing, it is simply an endless trouble.

In order to cope with this exercise, the leaders specially seconded several computer experts from UCAS....

While thinking about these messy things, Chen Ming walked up to the 575 ship with a wry smile. Look at the familiar equipment, layout, and familiar faces on the ship. The emotions that had just been suppressed quickly became relaxed.

The minutes ticked by, at six o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Ming gathered the soldiers on the helicopter deck and waited for confirmation that all the fighters had returned to the ship. While announcing the start of the meal, he walked back to the captain's room on his own and reported the news of the arrival of the 575 ship crew to the editor.

Lying in bed at night, Chen Ming closed his eyes and reflected on what happened today. I met my old friends, I may have lost my old friends, and then I realized that this military exercise may not go as smoothly as I thought.

The more he thought about it, the more tired Chen Ming felt, and gradually fell asleep.
