Nan Kejiang declined Chen Ming's kindness.

It was his boat that had an accident, even if it was at the wedding, and he rushed over to do it. But Chen Ming, as a guest at the wedding banquet, was Zheng Yuanhai's hair, and he didn't want to disturb Chen Ming.

The second is that the 086 boat accident is located in the deep sea, and Chen Ming only has experience in shallow sea troubleshooting. At the bottom of the sea, a water depth of 50 meters is a dividing line.

At a depth of 50 meters, people can also dive with scuba wearing only a light wetsuit. At depths of more than 50 meters, it is necessary to wear heavy diving suits and be helped by logistics vessels.

Hearing Nan Kejiang's refusal, Chen Ming didn't care. After telling the other party to be careful, he continued to turn around and fight with the crab on his plate. It's just that something happened in the middle of the wedding, and the already simple wedding ended faster.

This situation did not surprise Chen Ming, and it didn't have much to do with him. When the wedding banquet was over, Chen Ming found Lu Huaicheng and Zheng Yuanhai, said hello and hurried back to Yangcheng.

The opportunity for this annual leave was not easy to come by, and as soon as he arrived in the southeast, he was busy with Zheng Yuanhai's marriage in Dongjiang. Now that the wedding is over, it's time for me to go home.

People sometimes seem to grow old in a blink of an eye. When he returned home, Chen Ming looked at a lot of gray hairs that had appeared on his mother's head, and then he suddenly realized that his mother was 58 years old this year and was about to be 60.

That is the real definition of an old man.

Seeing his mother's current appearance, Chen Ming was rarely tired of his mother's nagging urging marriage. Even, really seriously began to think about it.

Think about it, I was still fantasizing about having a pure, unmixed relationship with other feelings. But now it is because of the urgency of his mother's aging, as well as Captain Zhang's worries about his personal future, to seriously think about starting a relationship.

Chen Ming suddenly felt a little nauseous. It's a bit like being a female watch and setting up a memorial arch.

Human nature is complicated after all, and Chen Ming seems to have slowly convinced himself. As long as you are wholeheartedly devoted to her and don't do anything to be sorry for her, it doesn't seem so important for what purpose you want to get married.

finally got Chen Ming's positive reply, and Tan Qiuwen was really relieved. Chen Ming's life at home is also relaxed.

Easy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Ming's vacation is coming to an end.

Before leaving, Chen Ming went to Dongjiang first as usual. Give Lu Huaicheng and others a New Year's greeting, and then fly directly from the Dongjiang River to the north.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Ru. Here's a good old age for you. ”

"Well, I also wish you a happy new year, smooth work and good health in the new year."

Lu Huaicheng saw Chen Ming come in and greeted him with a smile.

"Come, sit here."

Lu Huaicheng's home, familiar seats, familiar tea. Not even the seat of the boiling kettle has changed. Chen Ming skillfully began to make tea.

A pot of hot tea, two people. A cloudy lamp, a night.

I don't know when it started, Chen Ming gradually formed such a tacit understanding with Lu Huaicheng. When Chen Ming felt lost or had something to achieve, the two of them would set up a table like this at night. Or to point out the maze, or to admonish and beat.

"Last year, the work went well, right?"

After Chen Ming brewed the tea and sat down, Lu Huaicheng asked.

"It went well, even better than we had imagined. When I first saw an aircraft carrier, I really didn't expect to be launched in three years. ”

Chen Ming was a little embarrassed. Behind this astonishing speed of a great power, there are many invisible contributions. Compared with those people, Chen Ming felt that his life was a little too leisurely.

"It's good if it goes well, new things don't come in a handful. It's going to take some time to form combat effectiveness, right? ”

"Yes, but it should be soon. Before I returned, the landing of carrier-based aircraft had been completed, and the first batch of pilots had the qualifications to take off and land on aircraft carriers. ”

This information is not confidential to Lu Huaicheng, a general, and it is rare for Chen Ming to be able to find someone to talk about. When facing Zheng Yuanhai and others, none of these contents could be mentioned, resulting in hearing them talk about work during the party, Chen Ming could only hold back and be a little transparent.

"After returning this year, the next step should be the ship's weapons test, close defense guns, deep-water torpedoes and so on. Then there is the testing of the radar system, as well as the training of ship-aircraft fusion. It includes continuous take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, rapid release of carrier-based aircraft, and a night take-off and landing training. ”

Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"After completing these subjects, the aircraft carrier can truly be considered to have the ability to fight 24 hours a day. With the current pace of training, talking about combat effectiveness is a joke. ”

"Okay, Yuanhai is now the captain of the new generation of flagships of the base, and you, although you have gone out, you can be regarded as holding an important position in the flagship of our entire navy."

Lu Huaicheng looked at the child in front of him who he had grown up, and his face was full of relief.

"I'm really happy to see you now, and sometimes, the picture of you when you first came to the Dongjiang base to report still appears in front of my eyes. Now I don't have any regrets. ”

"Uncle Lu, what are you?"

In the first half of the paragraph, Chen Ming listened to it relatively normally. But the more I listened to it, the more weird it became.

"I've called the report to apply for retirement. The age has also come. ”

"However, this year, Deputy Commander Chen of the fleet will retire. Didn't they all say that you were going to the fleet to take over his shift? ”

Chen Ming asked a little surprised when he heard Lu Huaicheng's words.

Lu Huaicheng is retiring, and Chen Ming does not have many regrets. This man has paid too much for the army, for the Dongjiang base. It can be said that since the death of his wife and the disappearance of his daughter, only the army has been left in his life.

Now the daughter has been found, and the son-in-law is also available. My life is also coming to an end, and in the last few days, I will easily live these days for myself. Chen Ming felt that it was also a kind of good death.

"This is what is preached, but things cannot be done that way. Now how fast our country is developing, new warships, submarines are launched like dumplings. If we old guys who don't understand anything are still so senior, how can young people who really understand these things come up? ”

"I have served in the Dongjiang base for more than forty years, from a few torpedo boats at the beginning, to a large formation of submarines, destroyers, and frigates now. I know better than anyone else about the speed of development. ”

After Lu Huaicheng finished speaking, he added with a smile.

"Besides, now you, Zheng Yuanhai, and Nan Kejiang's performance makes me believe that being young does not mean that you can't resist the banner. You are doing a good job now, even Xie Tingqun, who I didn't look down on at the beginning, has now become a martyr. ”
