The projector went out, and Chen Ming slowly got up.

Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Mei saw that Chen Ming was a little depressed, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

"Whatever choice you make, we've got your back. We will also always remember your contribution to the cause of the motherland's aircraft carriers, which just arrived in the morning. ”

After Captain Zhang finished speaking, he stuffed a box containing a second-class merit medal into Chen Ming's hand along with the folded commendation order, and turned to leave.

"Don't be pressured, we're sure you'll shine wherever you go."

Political Commissar Mei also patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, and then stuffed a note with a phone number on it to Chen Ming.

"You, the person concerned, still have to come forward to explain the things on the Internet. After registering an account, make this call, and he will arrange to contact Weibo for authentication and specific speeches, precautions and whatnot. ”

Looking at the two departing chiefs, Chen Ming slowly returned to his room with his things in his arms. The current Chen Ming does look a little depressed, but the reason is a little different from what outsiders imagined.

The handling opinions of the superiors are really very generous. But it was precisely this kind of wealth that made Chen Ming fall into an inner struggle.

Zheng Yuanhai's obsession with joining the Navy has been solved, and it stands to reason that he could have handed in the transfer report and chose to leave the army very early.

When I learned the news of the conquest of the No. 8 sea area from Lu Huaicheng's mouth, Xu was a habit, and Xu was a seemingly illusory sense of responsibility, which allowed Chen Ming to continue to this day.

Before hearing the handling opinions, Chen Ming never imagined that he would face such a choice. However, the choice is even more difficult now.

On the one hand, there is now heat from the outside world. Go out by yourself, move a few more works casually, maintain this popularity, and immediately improve your coffee position. On the other hand, retaining his military status, coupled with his relationship with Lao Zhang, after he goes out, if nothing else, he is quite tough in terms of backing. And with such an arrangement, he can still retain his status as a soldier, and it doesn't sound like he needs to give up anything.

But I don't know why, Chen Ming looked at the box containing the military merit medal on the table, and couldn't make up his mind. It's as if you choose to go to the propaganda mouth, as if you will lose something.

"Hey, Uncle Ru. Are you all right now? ”

The flustered Chen Ming took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment and dialed Lu Huaicheng's phone. It's a pity that the time is limited, otherwise Chen Ming would like to fly back to Dongjiang immediately at this moment, sit opposite Lu Huaicheng, and like when he first came to the army, the two drank tea and chatted, asking the elders for guidance.

"Well, I'm fine now. Don't worry about eating and drinking in the dry rest house, take a walk every day, and yo-yo-yo. What about you? How is life and work now? ”

Hearing Lu Huaicheng's familiar laughter on the phone, Chen Ming took two deep breaths and slowly told what had happened in the past few days.

"Uncle Lu, what do you think I should choose? Whether to stay in the combat unit, or just go out. ”

"Xiao Ming, you are almost thirty-two years old this year."

After listening to Chen Ming's narration, Lu Huaicheng still said with a smile.

"It stands to reason that you, Uncle Lu, should persuade you to stay in the combat unit and continue to contribute to the development and construction of our navy. But as your elder, since you went to the Ship Academy at the age of 15, most of your life has been dedicated to the army. ”

"You are different from Zheng Yuanhai. When he first came to the army, he came to my office and told me that he was going to be the captain of the ship. What about you? The purpose of your coming to the army is, to put it mildly, to avenge your father. Now the revenge is also avenged. As for the work, I heard you say that it has been done. ”

"So I can't give you an answer to this question. The fact that you can ask my opinion at this time shows that you still trust you Uncle Lu. Then I can't use my selfishness to interfere in your life, right? ”

"Thank you, I see."

Chen Ming didn't expect that Lu Huaicheng, who had never been stingy with his advice, would actually refuse this time.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming, who couldn't think of a result for a long time, fell directly on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and his thoughts slowly emptied.

The news that Chen Ming was about to leave the ship soon spread on the aircraft carrier, and everyone couldn't help but cry and laugh after knowing the causes and consequences of Chen Ming's departure.

When shooting a short film, who would have thought that there would be such a result. It was originally the same as a foreign official's visit to the ship, a special but not complicated task, but the result is today's situation.

Time flies quickly, and tomorrow will be the day when Chen Ming leaves the ship and the aircraft carrier docks. Dai Minmeng and others, who usually looked forward to berthing for a while after berthing, were so tired of berthing for the first time.

"Lao Chen, it's time to eat."

"It's coming!"

Chen Ming heard the shouts of the Dai Democratic League outside the door, and immediately got up and followed him out.

"Eh, old Dai. Do you say I'm staying in combat units, or going out? ”

In the past two days, Chen Ming has also asked Ouyang Chun, his mother, and Zheng Yuanhai's opinion. And these people, without exception, kicked the ball back and let Chen Ming choose for himself.

"I'd definitely like you to stay in the combat unit, but it's your life, you choose. Anyway, no matter what you do in the future, as long as you don't do anything illegal and undisciplined, we will support you, and we will always be brothers and comrades-in-arms. ”

Hearing Dai Minmeng's exact reply, Chen Ming pouted angrily. It's just that when Chen Ming walked into the restaurant, he was stunned.

In the pilot's cafeteria, the captain, deputy commander, political commissar, and department chiefs, as well as the ship's pilots, deck staff, etc., are all standing inside.

"Don't be stunned, come and sit. The conditions on board are limited, and I have to go to the wheelhouse later, so I can't drink. Replace wine with tea, let's toast you, and we will send you off the ship tomorrow. ”

"Come, comrades. Cheers! ”

After Captain Zhang finished speaking, he pulled Chen Ming to drink a cup of tea and left in a hurry.

This meal, countless cups of tea, Chen Ming felt drunk after eating. Chen Ming, who had never felt that there was anything to part, suddenly felt a trace of reluctance towards the aircraft carrier in his heart.

No, it should be said, is the reluctance to these people.

When the aircraft carrier berthed the next day, it was raining lightly outside.

There was no big movement, and there was no crying. Chen Ming, who was carrying his luggage, and his comrades-in-arms standing on the side of the passage punched one by one, and walked off the aircraft carrier under the escort of Jiang Xizi helping to play an umbrella.

A mediocre Warrior Jeep was waiting quietly on the dock at the moment.

"How? Have you chosen? ”

Seeing Chen Ming put away his luggage, the person sitting in the back seat patted the position next to him. After Chen Ming got into the car, he asked.

"I've chosen, I'm going to stay!"
