You can do it, Lao Zheng. It's not easy to get hold of this position, is it looking for your father-in-law to go through the back door? ”

Chen Ming deliberately teased Zheng Yuanhai on the phone.

It is true that the 188 ship is the flagship of the Dongjiang base, but the Southeast Fleet does not have only one Dongjiang base, so there are several of the same flagships. And there are few that can really stick to the aircraft carrier, Chen Ming knew that Zheng Yuanhai had put a lot of effort into winning this position, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Okay, okay, the chief of staff has retired, so don't ruin people's reputations, okay?"

Zheng Yuanhai laughed and scolded angrily when he heard Chen Ming's ridicule.

"It's a pity that our Dongjiang base does not meet the conditions for the aircraft carrier to berth, otherwise the chief of staff may be so happy if he can see you now."

"Will see. Let's not talk about these for a while, this can be regarded as our brothers fighting side by side, right? ”

Chen Ming thought that the few photos that Officer Zhu had taken for him on the ship before had made a secret mistake, and he should have sent them to Lu Huaicheng a long time ago.

"yes, it's a pity it's not a real battle."

"You can pull it down, the people will suffer, and the people will suffer. I think it's good to be a soldier without a fight. ”

The two of them chatted for a while, then hung up the phone and returned to their battle positions, and the aircraft carrier formation began to speed up and continue to move south after completing the rotation.

In the evening, the ship's helicopters were particularly busy. On the first day after the rotation, the captains of the fleets were invited to a dinner on board the aircraft carrier, as usual. On the one hand, it is a kind of gratitude to the captains of other fleets for escorting themselves, and on the other hand, it is also to get to know each other to facilitate subsequent communication activities.

This is the third such event, and Chen Ming gradually understands the significance of this voyage.

The main significance of this aircraft carrier is in training and testing. However, if an aircraft carrier wants to form a real combat effectiveness, it is completely insufficient to rely on itself. Therefore, in addition to the training on the ship itself, this training also includes coordination drills with other ships.

In addition to training the officers and men of the ship to cooperate in operation, it is also necessary to let the captains of the naval ships of the rest of the fleet know how to cooperate with the aircraft carrier.

Maybe it's because in the south, the weather is getting warmer. The dinner was not held in one of the ship's dining rooms, but in an open-air deck reception.

This Western-style dinner party mode, Chen Ming prefers a little. This is not because of Chongyang and flattery, but because he was in the restaurant before, eating with a bunch of unknown cadres, Chen Ming would feel a little embarrassed.

Especially as the host, Chen Ming has to keep smiling even if he has MMP in his heart. The taste was uncomfortable.

And the deck reception, this Western-style cold dinner dinner. Personnel can move around freely, and if you talk to someone awkwardly, you can find a reason to flash people. Plus just right, Zheng Yuanhai will also go to the aircraft carrier tonight, just so he can have a good chat.

Speak of the devil.

When Chen Ming was thinking about Zheng Yuanhai, a straight 9 hatch opened not far in front of him, and Zheng Yuanhai walked down from inside.

"Old Platoon!"

The moment he saw Zheng Yuanhai, Jiang Xizi pounced like a loose Erha. Chen Ming followed behind, looking at the two big men who were jumping and jumping together, and the corners of his mouth grinned.

"Welcome to our own aircraft carrier."

Chen Ming slowly stepped forward, looked at Zheng Yuanhai and said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you. It's still fun on our own aircraft carrier! ”

When Zheng Yuanhai heard Chen Ming's words, he also thought of the Bald Eagle aircraft carrier that he had boarded when he was studying in France. Compared to the restrictions of that time, it is undoubtedly much easier now.

Especially surrounded by colleagues with yellow skin and black eyes.

"Alas, it's still this aircraft carrier. If I can become the captain of an aircraft carrier, I Zheng Yuanhai will have no regrets in my life! ”

"Stop, you're not satisfied with the captaincy of the flagship? Mentioned the colonel, floated? ”

Chen Ming heard Zheng Yuanhai's big words, and his head was crawling with black lines.

"Well, you saw the plane parked over there, right? No matter which one you have, you have to be able to drive at least one of them, otherwise, the captain of the aircraft carrier, don't even think about it. ”

deliberately hit Zheng Yuanhai's fighting spirit, not that Chen Ming was worried that someone would compete with him. It's about putting yourself in Zheng Yuanhai's shoes.

I didn't notice it when I looked at each other across the sea before, but now I found that Zheng Yuanhai's shoulders had become two bars and three stars. Thirty-five or sixteen-year-old colonel, the cadres here didn't see Lu Huaicheng's feelings, and Chen Ming didn't believe it.

According to Zheng Yuanhai's current development momentum, it is almost certain that he will be transferred to the destroyer detachment in the future. Even when he was about fifty years old, he could spy on the position of a general.

At this time, my brain was pumped, and I ran to learn to fly from scratch. And then if the aircraft carrier doesn't succeed, and then go back, let's not say if there are vacancies, but there are. After all, Lu Huaicheng is retired, and it's not fun to say that people go to tea and cool, and don't even be able to keep the current captaincy when the time comes.

"Hey, I just sighed. I'm hopeless, but Chen Ming, you have. Work hard, if I become the captain of an aircraft carrier in the future, I, Zheng Yuanhai, will be able to brag to others. ”

Zheng Yuanhai obviously understood the meaning of Chen Ming's words. It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Now if he really wants to give up his position as the captain of the flagship and learn to fly, maybe he will have some hesitation in his own heart. As he grew older, he was brave when he was young, and he slowly had to give way to his family and career.

"Eh, Chen Ming. I remember that you were in the deputy regiment before me, it's been almost five years, it's almost time to move, right? ”

Chen Ming and the three walked to the dining table, Zheng Yuanhai poured three glasses of drink, and asked while handing them to Chen Ming and the others.

"I'm still young, I'll only be thirty-two years old after the New Year. There is no hurry. ”

In terms of age, it is indeed as Chen Ming said, it is indeed difficult for the thirty-two-year-old Zhengtuan to climb to the sky. But considering that Chen Ming has been in the deputy regiment for five years, plus the position that Chen Ming now holds.

As the boss of the air port on the aircraft carrier. Not to mention the regimental position, according to the combat command sequence on the aircraft carrier, it is not an exaggeration to give Chen Ming, who is second only to the captain, a deputy division.

In the end, it's still not married.

Chen Ming even guessed that if the marriage report was typed on the front foot, there would be more stars on his shoulders on the back foot. After all, the division of duties on the ship is still a bit deformed. Chen Ming's kind of is a serious low-level job and high-level allocation.

"Alas, if you want me to say that you should go on a blind date quickly, find someone at random, hand in the marriage report first, and then talk about feelings when the position is raised. It's not suitable to leave again, there are a lot of divorces now, but your rank has gone up, you can't divorce because of personal emotional problems and then take it off for you. ”

Zheng Yuanhai suggested quite a "scumbag".
