Chapter 241: Docking at Siya
Zheng Yuanhai's suggestion, which seemed to be a "scumbag", made Chen Ming quite moved in his heart.
This is not Chen Ming's scumbag.
Rather, every soldier has a professional life in the development of the army. This professional life is age.
For example, the same two regiments meet the conditions for promotion to deputy division. One is already 48 years old, the other is only 40 years old. If you were the leader, which one would you choose?
At the age of 48, you were promoted, and you didn't work for two years. Good guy, after retirement, in addition to paying a higher pension for the army, the most important thing is that no one has done the work that has just started, and there is no one to do it, so you have to be re-promoted and find someone.
Personnel transfers are often more troublesome, and if you promote a person, then his original vacancy will cause a wave of competition. Personnel transfers at an appropriate time can enhance the enthusiasm of officers and men of the troops, but frequent personnel transfers can only be said to be not far from coolness.
From the perspective of love, Chen Ming can no longer feel the sour smell of love when he was young, which is a disadvantage. But from the perspective of army development, this is Chen Ming's biggest advantage.
Being young means giving priority to promotion, and he can't touch the upper age limit for many positions, so he doesn't worry about forced job changes. It also means that Chen Ming has more time to learn and experience.
A young and experienced cadre. As long as you don't die, your future is obvious.
can fall in love and get married for the sake of job promotion, which is contrary to Chen Ming's three views.
"Well, I'll think again."
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ming had to give Zheng Yuanhai a vague answer.
Chen Ming has always believed that feelings and training work are different. In training and work, find the right way, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, then sooner or later it will pay off.
Feelings are different, sometimes fate is not reached, or the eyes are not right, there is no such feeling. All your efforts can only move yourself.
When Zheng Yuanhai heard Chen Ming's words, he also remembered his experience with Mei Xing'er. Think about the twists and turns of the process, and nod in understanding.
The two of them invariably skipped the topic and talked about some things at work. Zheng Yuanhai also asked Chen Ming for advice on the weakness of aircraft carriers.
That is, which part of the aircraft carrier's current defense is the weakest, so that these escort ships can strengthen their precautions and vigilance in this regard in a targeted manner.
Faced with this problem, Chen Ming can only say that they are relatively weak.
"No, Director Chen. I understand that our ship is afraid of underwater threats, after all, such a big guy, dodging maneuvers is almost equivalent to not doing it. But we're not afraid of air threats, right? ”
Jiang Xizi asked a little confused when he heard Chen Ming's words.
"I'm afraid. If the enemy planes are far away, it is better to say that our carrier-based planes will take to the air to fight and intercept them. However, once an enemy plane approaches and launches a missile against the ship, the anti-aircraft weapons on the ship are actually very limited. In addition to a couple of anti-aircraft missile launchers, there are only a couple of close-in artillery systems left. ”
Chen Ming saw Jiang Xizi's stunned joyful appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his round head. Explained with a smile.
When Zheng Yuanhai heard Chen Ming's explanation, he immediately understood why in the aircraft carrier formation, the destroyers with excellent air defense performance were arranged on the inside close to the aircraft carrier.
"Lao Pai, Lao Chen, look at it! That person over there, isn't it Captain Chen?! ”
Zheng Yuanhai was just about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Xizi's exclamation.
"Captain Chen, which Captain Chen?"
Chen Ming looked in the direction of Jiang Xizi's finger, but found that there were no other naval cadres over there except for the two carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck.
"Not on the ship, at sea. Look, is that Captain Chen Jianjun? ”
Hearing Jiang Xizi's words, the three of them hurriedly ran to the railing at the edge of the deck. Looking through the gaps of several frigates on the starboard side, I saw a white patrol boat on the sea in the distance, and a figure was standing on the deck in front of the boat.
"This is the customs' anti-smuggling boat, it must be Chen Jianjun!"
Even if the figure on the boat could not be seen clearly from a distance, even Zheng Yuanhai could not read the customs words on the patrol boat. But just by his intuition, Zheng Yuanhai said with certainty.
Chen Ming's impression of Chen Jianjun can only be said to be average. It's not too bad, it's not too good, and even why he changed jobs is not well known.
But after all, Chen Jianjun is also the first chief officer in his military career, and he is also Zheng Yuanhai's. In addition, it was he who liberated Jiang Xizi from the pig farm.
The three of them stood by the railing on the side of the deck, and they all raised their right arms. After a long time, the patrol boat in the distance seemed to have seen enough, and slowly turned away.
"He's still like this, no one but him will come to see the warship. It's a pity that there is no place for him in today's large formation. ”
Putting down his arm, Zheng Yuanhai said with a sigh.
Despite Chen Jianjun's mistakes at the time, the punishment for a forced job change is not excessive. But his final performance reflected the responsibility of a soldier.
From a personal point of view, Zheng Yuanhai actually didn't want Chen Jianjun to leave the army like this. Even if he didn't leave, he might not be able to become the captain of the flagship so early, but so what?
The development of objective facts is never subject to human will. Seeing Chen Jianjun's appearance today, Chen Ming didn't gloat, but suddenly wondered if he would have such a day.
Now standing on the only aircraft carrier in the Navy, it can be described as infinitely beautiful. At a young age, he is in a position of responsibility. It is not an exaggeration to describe a high-rise building from the ground, but no one can say whether there will be a day when the building collapses in the future.
Chen Jianjun's sudden appearance made the atmosphere between Chen Ming and the others a little silent, and the thoughts of chatting were extinguished a lot. After a hasty dinner, Zheng Yuan said goodbye and returned to his ship.
The schedule didn't fluctuate much, just like the other fleets at the time of arrival.
During the formation navigation, some drills for the conversion of formation formations were carried out. Chen Ming, on the other hand, continued to keep an eye on the pilot's daily training in the flight control room.
In such days of repetitive fulfillment, time passes quickly. The aircraft carrier squadron also came to the Marine Police District of the Fourth Asia Base of the Southeast Fleet.
Here, part of the ships escorted by the South-Eastern Fleet began to break away from the formation and return to their respective bases. Zheng Yuanhai's 188 ships, as the core frigates in the aircraft carrier formation, still berthed at the Siyajun Port with the aircraft carrier.
This is the second time Chen Ming has come to this base, and the last time he came was at the end of the escort.
In order to welcome the aircraft carrier berthing, the Siyajun Port has expanded a lot compared with the past.
However, these changes were not particularly important to Chen Ming, because at the moment Captain Zhang was handing him a fake note.
Although there is no way to take annual leave this year, when the warship is berthed, the sailors will have a certain amount of vacation to take off. Chen Ming also planned to take this opportunity to go to the land with Jiang Xizi and Zheng Yuanhai to have a New Year's dinner in advance.
Last time, I couldn't drink on the ship, but this time I can drink two drinks.
With a smile and a smile on the fake note handed by Captain Zhang, Chen Ming ran away from the captain's room.
