Coming out of the conference room, except for Major General Wang Lei and other leaders of the formation headquarters, only Chen Ming probably knew why.

The escort mission has been carried out in an orderly manner, with the only exception being the middle-aged man codenamed Rabbit.

I couldn't stop wondering what his identity was and what mission he was performing. Since the rabbit arrived at the 169 ship, Chen Ming has not seen him again, and even if he does, he will not ask these stupid questions.

After Xiang Yu and others asked themselves why the escort mission ended early, Chen Ming only laughed and scolded and prevaricated with the excuse of "it's not good to go home early".

Wait until the two capital ships of the second escort formation, 167 destroyers and 570 frigates, arrive in the waters of the Gulf of Aden. Chen Ming's ships No. 168 and No. 169 sounded their whistles and began to return home.

After floating on the sea for nearly a month, the 168 and 169 ships returned to port smoothly. The 169 ship returned to its Siya base, while the 168 ship sailed directly back to the Dongjiang base.

When they returned, they did not have the first batch of escort formations to go to sea to greet them, and only Commander Lu from the Dongjiang base, the political commissar, and a new chief of staff came to greet them.

After seeing this level of welcome lineup, which was by no means low, Chen Ming suddenly felt a little ashamed. After all, the first batch of escorts, they don't seem to have done anything.

A total of four months of escort time, and three months of his own suspension.

When the welcome ceremony was over, Lu Huaicheng slipped out Chen Mingti, who was hiding in the crowd and was ashamed.

"What are you hiding? Come, let me introduce you. This is the new chief of staff of our base. Liu Tiegang, Chief of Staff Liu, you should be no stranger, right? ”

"Hello Chief of Staff Liu!"

Chen Ming raised his hand and saluted. He is indeed no stranger to this Liu Tiegang, who was the chief of staff of the submarine detachment when he first arrived at the Dongjiang base. When he returned from France, he seemed to be the head of the detachment, and now he is the chief of staff of the base.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming. You and the commander have a chat beforehand, and I'll go to work first. ”

Although Liu Tiegang used to be Chen Ming's old leader, Chen Ming was only a newly awarded lieutenant at that time. If it weren't for Chen Ming's accident rate being too high and his reputation being too stinky, he might not be able to remember which cabbage Chen Ming was after so many years.

Liu Tiegang took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, and Lu Huaicheng did not stop him, he did have something to do with Chen Ming. After Liu Tiegang left, Lu Huaicheng looked at Chen Ming and suddenly smiled.

"Didn't you make a fuss? Even bald eagles want to dig you, which is a precedent for our navy. ”

"Uncle Lu, don't make fun of me, because of this, I used soy sauce for almost the whole escort this time. I'm embarrassed that I'm going to escort myself. ”

Chen Ming took Lu Huaicheng's words depressedly, and at the same time secretly hated in his heart, why didn't this person open any pot?

"Alright, alright. Don't be depressed. You should have also done a special mission, right? ”

"How do you know, actually that ........."

"Huh! Don't be the one you shouldn't! ”

Lu Huaicheng heard that Chen Ming seemed to want the content of the task, so he quickly raised his hand and refused. At the same time, he reached out and took out a few things from the drawer and handed them to Chen Ming.

"I don't know what your mission is, but the military merit medal has come down, and it's just a commendation for a special mission. This matter is actually kept secret even from me, a major general, you should understand the importance of this matter in your heart, and forget about it when you turn around. ”

"Second-class merit ?!!"

Chen Ming looked at a few things on the table, and his heart was shocked

The most conspicuous thing on the table was a red order for the promotion of military ranks, and he was promoted to the major of the main battalion only last year, and he was promoted to the lieutenant colonel of the deputy regiment in the second year. Thinking of the words of the colonel before going to France, Chen Ming didn't expect it to come true.

However, the shock was not over, seeing a military merit medal box on the side, Chen Ming was surprised to find that it was actually a second-class merit medal.

There is a saying in the army, which is called "third-class merit must be fought, second-class merit must be injured, and first-class merit must be killed." If you encounter any danger of firefighting during the rabbit's mission, you will die before returning to the ship. Don't be second-class meritorious, first-class merit Chen Ming can also accept it calmly, but the journey was obviously very smooth, and there were no accidents.

In this case, the above actually issued a second-class merit medal to itself, then it can only be clear that either the identity of the rabbit is too important, or the task of the rabbit is too important. It is so important that there can be no mistakes at all, as long as there are no mistakes, it is a great achievement.

There was one item left, Chen Ming picked it up and looked at it. This is a commendation order, commending Chen Ming for connecting the escort navies of various countries, and providing great convenience for the future escort work.

However, with the second-class merit Zhuyu in front, Chen Ming, who was in surprise, didn't care too much about this thing. Feel free to put the commendation order back in its place.

"So, when you get out, forget about that mission and remember it."

After Lu Huaicheng saw Chen Ming put things away, he said with a smile.

"Chen Ming, you will be 27 in another month, right? 27-year-old deputy regiment, tsk. Some people are slower, and they haven't even reached the deputy regiment at the age of 37. ”

Hearing Lu Huaicheng's words, Chen Ming fished his head in embarrassment. He thought that the colonel's words were just a joke, but he didn't expect it to come true.

The 27-year-old deputy regiment is roasting himself on the fire.

Don't look at the major battalion and the lieutenant colonel deputy regiment are separated by one level, but this level has really stepped into the threshold of middle-level officers. Chen Ming could already imagine Zheng Yuanhai's appearance of eating lemons when he knew that he was already a lieutenant colonel.

"It's a good thing that you have been promoted, and the organization recognizes you and trusts you. But your speed is really too fast, and the foundation is not strong. I helped you get a place in the deputy captain class of the ship academy, and in the next half a year, you will go to the ship academy to study hard, and it is best to get the first one back. ”

Lu Huaicheng waited for Chen Ming to slow down and then spoke.

"After almost half a year at sea, and after all these years. Your notoriety should have almost dissipated, and it's time to get ready to go back to ship. You haven't forgotten Sea Eight, right? ”

"Yes, never forgot!"

When Chen Ming heard Lu Huaicheng mention the No. 8 sea area, he was shocked just now, and there was a hint of joy after the promotion, which suddenly dissipated, and he replied seriously.

"It's good that I haven't forgotten. When you're done, I'll find a ship for you to go up to. When you go to the ship, forget it, that's a later thing. But you have to remember your goals, and what the country expects of you. While you've been great in other areas, you're the weakest in the area of surface ships. ”

"Even, when it comes to surface ships, your experience tends to be close to nothing. So, start by entering the shipyard. You forget about your previous academic experience, your feats, and that task. Think of yourself as a student who has just started school and go for it with an open mind! ”

PS: It's not very good today, and it hasn't eased up yet. Just send it in advance.

The later chapters really get to the point. Originally, I was going to write about the task of rabbits, and I was going to write about some conflicts, so I thought about it and forgot about it. The rabbit is an important foreshadowing that will appear in subsequent chapters.

Well, I'm just in plain language, write whatever you want, and read whatever you want.

Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Navy Starts from the Soldier Assault Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
