Time does not stand still for anyone.

It's been a month since the condolence performance ended. Although Liu Tao's ruthless demolition made Chen Ming's reputation as a public enemy of the navy more and more resounding, it was not without benefits.

The advantage is that he confesses success when Huang Huai's mind is stirring.

Then the two went with the team to the Huayang Reef outpost in the southernmost part of the motherland. According to Huang Huai's words, although she did not accompany Chen Ming in the rest of the arduous outposts, she hoped that their relationship would sprout from the northernmost part of the motherland and blossom in the southernmost point.

The Huayang Reef Outpost is about to enter its 13th year since its establishment, and it is located on the side of the simple pier on the shore. A huge red word "home" shows everyone who is lucky enough to come here, showing the hearts of the reef guards rooted here. The Huayang Reef outpost is only less than ten nautical miles away from the East Reef occupied by the Monkey Kingdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these soldiers have been living and stationed on the front line.

After the condolences ended, the art troupe disbanded in the southeast and went home for the New Year. Except for a few famous comrades who need to return to the capital to participate in the performance, the rest of the comrades can return home immediately.

Chen Ming asked Lu Huaicheng to apply for two days off, and after taking Huang Huai to play in Dongjiang for a day, he sent her on the train home the next day. Then he went home to spend the New Year with his mother.

Because Chen Ming didn't have any relatives to leave, he went to see his grandfather on the first day of junior high school, and accompanied Tan Qiuwen for another day on the second day of junior high school. Early in the morning of the third day of the new year, Chen Ming set off to return to Dongjiang.

The smell of the New Year in the army always dissipates faster than the localities, and Chen Ming, who resumed his work, continued as usual. Go to work and learn a foreign language. It's just that now there is one more activity to write a letter to Huang Huai.

And so it went by, and a few more months passed. Chen Jianjun got his wish and went to the deputy captain class of the Naval Academy, Lu Huaicheng's office was also changed to the commander's office next door, and Zheng Yuanhai and Xie Tingqun were also more and more comfortable on the 180 ship.

"Chen Ming, you've been by my side for a year."

One day, Lu Huaicheng suddenly stopped Chen Ming.

"Yes, it's half a month and a year. Can I go down now? ”

Chen Ming froze when he heard Lu Huaicheng's words. If you think about it, I was very uncomfortable with this position at the beginning, but now I have been working for a year. In the past year, he has accompanied Lu Huaicheng to run around at the grassroots level, and the ships have not been missing. The power of the public enemy of the Navy is also weakening.

Suddenly I may have left, and I was a little reluctant. But Chen Ming knew that life in the office of the agency was not what he wanted.

"Hehe, how are you learning Russian now?"

Lu Huaicheng didn't answer Chen Ming's words, and took out a newspaper from the side and handed it to Chen Ming as he did a year ago.

Chen Ming took the newspaper handed over by Lu Huaicheng, and looked up at Lu Huaicheng after reading a paragraph quickly in Russian.

"Say it again in English."

Chen Ming did so.

"Good, not bad. What I told you a year ago, it's almost time. Tomorrow you take this and go to the capital headquarters to find Staff Officer Niu to report. ”

After Lu Huaicheng finished with a smile, he took out a piece of paper and a ticket from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ming.

"Letters of recommendation? What is this 00514 project? ”

Chen Ming looked at the contents of the paper handed over by Lu Huaicheng, confused. This was the first time he had seen a document in this format, especially since the official seal was actually the seal of the Southeast Fleet.

"If you pass, you'll know. If not, then you shouldn't know. Do you understand? ”

Lu Huaicheng got up, packed up his things and walked out of the office.

Chen Ming hurriedly followed, and asked while locking the door.

"Uncle Lu, this can't be another special forces, right? I'm not a special forces fodder. ”

"You can rest assured, it's definitely not. I can only tell you that this opportunity is rare, and it is up to you whether you can grasp it or not. ”

Lu Huaicheng said that after Chen Ming closed the door, he took Chen Ming home and had a dinner together, which was counted as a send-off.

After Chen Ming left, Lu Huaicheng sighed secretly. If Chen Ming passes, then he may not see this junior of his for many years.

Tickets are for the next morning. Chen Ming didn't have time to say goodbye to his friends, so he hurriedly stepped on the train to the north.

The train ran for a full day and a night, and it was about nine o'clock the next morning. After Chen Ming came out of the west station of the capital, he moved his body and ran directly towards the naval headquarters not far from here.

Staff Officer Niu is easy to find, this guy is waiting at the headquarters post. Seeing the letter of recommendation in Chen Ming's hand, he found a soldier to take Chen Ming to the playground to wait first.

Chen Ming followed a little soldier to the playground and was a little dumbfounded. There were nearly 200 people in the entire playground, and more than half of the 200 people were young people in civilian clothes.

And after careful observation, Chen Ming found that they were not soldiers at all. And among the remaining soldiers, most of them are cadets with red epaulettes. So much so that he came over with the rank of lieutenant, which made the people on the playground think that the main owner was coming, and hurriedly lined up.

"Eh, brother, hello. My name is Chen Ming, I want to ask if you know what this situation is? ”

Chen Ming waved his hand wryly, signaling for the disbandment. Finding a nearby cadet soldier wearing an Air Force uniform, he asked.

"Hello platoon commander, my name is Dai Mingmeng, a freshman cadet of the Air Force No. 1 Flight Academy. I don't know what's going on. ”

One Flying Hospital? Pilot?

Chen Ming's mind was more foggy, but he didn't wait for him to continue to ask questions. In the distance, Staff Officer Niu was approaching with three young men in civilian clothes.

After Staff Officer Niu signaled to assemble, everyone quickly lined up. It's just that those in military uniforms and those in civilian clothes are very tacitly divided into two phalanxes and do not interfere with each other.

Staff Officer Niu didn't say anything when he saw this, and directly led everyone to board the five buses that drove over.

Chen Ming's No. 2 car, with Dai Mingmeng sitting next to him. This guy was looking at the scenery of the capital with great interest at this time. At this time, the gap between cities is still relatively large, and there is a huge difference between the prosperity of open cities on the eastern coast, such metropolises as Beijing and inland cities.

It's just that Chen Ming's brows are getting more and more wrinkled. When he was studying at the Central Yin High School, he lived in the capital for a few years. At this time, the direction of the convoy seemed to be heading towards Fengtai.

The convoy bypassed the 301 General Hospital and stopped at the entrance of the nearby Air Force General Hospital. Chen Ming followed everyone out of the car in a daze, and Staff Officer Niu did not scold everyone for their slow speed.

After everyone gathered at the gate of the hospital, Staff Officer Niu took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and issued one for each person. While posting, he said.

"The physical examination form, one for each person, cannot be lost. After you go in, there will be a pen at the medical guide desk to fill in your personal information, except for personal information, the rest of the part is strictly forbidden to be altered. There are signs in the hospital for the seats of each item of the medical examination, so if you can't find it, you can ask the staff at the hospital. ”

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, we gathered at the door on time. I'll pick you up. ”

Staff Officer Niu finished distributing the form and explained a few words. actually got in the car and ran away, leaving everyone present to look at each other.
