"This is Lieutenant Commander John, the vice-captain of the USS Reagan, and also the top pilot of our Bald Eagle."

The introduction continued, and when Chen Ming saw the black officer who stood up this time, the expression on his face was extremely exciting.

"Hey, Chen. We meet again. ”

"Oh? Do you know? ”

John's words shook the hearts of both sides. Zheng Yuanhai, who had seen John once in France, was the first to react, but he didn't say anything. The matter of asking questions was given to the bigwigs on both sides.

"Yes, General. Chen and I were classmates of Pensacola. ”

John's words explain the doubts on both sides. The editor knows that Chen Ming has studied abroad in Bald Eagle, but the specific school is not clear, but now he meets his classmates, which can only be said to be a coincidence.

"Wow, this captain is more handsome than Zheng. I have to say, you really fill me with jealousy. ”

General Waterhouse said with a pompous expression after hearing John's reply.

"I am jealous of your youth, and of your ability to go to the school I dreamed of when I was younger. But unfortunately, as you can see, I didn't even get the surface combat skill badge, so I had to do logistics work on land. Not to mention the flying sea eagles! ”

"General, you've won the prize. Honestly, I haven't touched a plane in many years, and if you give me a plane now, I think I should pray that I can still remember where the catapult button is~"

After the preparation took the opportunity to introduce himself, Chen Ming smiled and shook General Waterhouse's hand, and also replied with a little joke. Then quietly waited for General Waterhouse to continue to introduce the rest of the personnel.

"Haha, I think I've added one more piece of jealousy for you. Look at your damn humor, and tell me secretly, how many innocent girls have you deceived on the beach in Pensacola? ”

"In fact, not one. John can testify to this, and besides, the girls of today are not simple. ”

While laughing, he shrugged helplessly. Chen Ming let go of General Waterhouse's hand.

"That's true, a few of our classmates asked him why, and he told me that it was called single-mindedness. Well, I don't understand this, I understand it as the shyness of the people of their country. ”

John interjected at the right time to prove Chen Ming's innocence. And his words also made the group behind Chen Ming quietly purse the corners of their mouths.

"Oh, shit. I don't believe it's true at all, go! Let's go inside, I'm going to have a nice drink with you. Maybe you'll only tell me the truth after I'm drunk. ”

General Waterhouse said as he made a "please" gesture to the crowd.

I thought that General Waterhouse would also introduce the naval officers of the other countries behind him, but looking at the current performance, the other party obviously did not mean this.

The truth that a weak country has no diplomacy is vividly demonstrated here.

Even Chen Ming maliciously speculated that the navies of these small Southeast Asian countries came here, and they might not have even been connected to the wind banquet. Instead, I waited until today and took them together for a meal.

"Hey, Chen. Why didn't you fly? ”

Deliberately left two steps, and John, who leaned next to Chen Ming, asked. Die Literature Network

"Because of my work, I'm now the captain of a frigate. Oh, to be precise, trainee captain. What about you? When did you get the SWO? Could it be that you still want to be the captain of an aircraft carrier? ”

John's words interrupted Chen Ming's train of thought. Glancing at the old classmates beside him, Chen Ming asked with a smile. To be honest, Chen Ming is still very happy to meet his old classmates and brothers here. But in my heart, there are also many questions.

The SWO badge is a surface warfare skill badge established by the Bald Eagle Navy. Needless to say, this skill chapter is divided into four levels, the lowest soldier level and the second special operations level. For officers, the main test is the first two, the specialty level and the staff officer level.

And what John wears on his chest is a specialty-level skill badge. It stands to reason that John, who was born as a pilot, should be the deputy captain in charge of aviation, but why did he take a skill badge for surface warfare?

You know, this skill chapter is not so easy to test. For Bald Eagle's soldiers, after 18 months of deployment on a warship, they will be transferred if they are unable to obtain a surface warfare skill badge. Transferred to land, take the supply team skill badge, and do logistics work.

Although there is no such requirement for the deployment of a flight officer like John on a ship, the purpose of a flight officer to take the SWO is basically the captain of an aircraft carrier.

"I only got it last year. Alas, prepare multiple roads. ”

Hearing Chen Ming's question, John couldn't help but sigh.

"You know, how many years can we fly on a ship? Originally, according to my qualifications, I could transfer to any flight wing, or FRS, but you also know. I'm black..... So ....."

"Come on, Nigae~"

The problem of racial discrimination against bald eagles has always existed, and Chen Ming can't say anything when he hears it. I had to reach out and pat the shoulder of the black brother next to me.

"Shet, you damn monkey. No one has called me in years! ”

The two laughed and cursed at each other as they walked into the restaurant. It seemed that in an instant, the two of them were back to their relatively carefree school days.

At that time, a group of low-level flying officers didn't need it at all, and they couldn't think about such a bad thing now.

At the reception banquet at noon, General Waterhouse was quite enthusiastic about Chen Ming and his party, but Chen Ming naturally did not like this white general. I can't talk about the reason, maybe I think he is too fake. Perhaps, after listening to John's story just now, and then looking at the general's attitude towards the naval officers of other small countries, Chen Ming did not like it.

Discrimination is everywhere. In the venue, General Waterhouse and Chen Ming and his party would talk and laugh, but they did not pay any attention to the officers of the navy of those small countries. And they are also very interesting, and they have no intention of coming this way at all.

On the other side, several officers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force followed the Bald Eagle officers. They weren't stopped or anything. But look at the position, a major of the bald eagle is standing in front of the captain of the helicopter carrier Rice Field. And everyone around them is resigned to this.

"Hey, Chen. Okay, we've got to have two drinks. This first glass of wine is a sign of welcome to you. We've got to drink champagne~"

Chen Ming, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly awakened by General Waterhouse's voice.

"I'm sorry, General. Our army has a rule that alcohol is not allowed during a mission trip. How about I please substitute a drink? ”

Looking at General Waterhouse with the waiter in front of him, Chen Ming said with a little embarrassment. I thought the front thing was the meaning, but I didn't expect it to be real?!

"Oh my gosh. Your warship is already at anchor and won't move at all for a short time. You actually told me that I can't drink like this? I see, you must be joking with me, right? ”

"No, General. This time, it's really no joke! ”
