In fact, this is also the first time Chen Ming has drunk Moutai.

I couldn't drink it in my previous life, but I was ruthlessly persuaded to retire by the second pot head who drank it for the first time. Now drinking the sauce-flavored Moutai liquor, Chen Ming realized that the price of this wine is indeed reasonable.

The unique taste also quickly conquered the bald eagle officers present. After eating dinner lively, Henry led Chen Ming to his captain's room, then poured two glasses of whiskey and asked Chen Ming about his intentions.

At the same time, he said that if Chen Ming wanted to visit the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, he could take Chen Ming to visit. But in the forbidden places, Chen Ming will not be allowed to approach. If it is to exchange some cooperation on the escort, if it is reasonable, he is willing to support.

was reminiscing about the feeling of not paying for the first time when he ate at Bald Eagle, and Chen Ming, who was indulging in the refreshing feeling after eating the Overlord meal, was stunned by Lieutenant Colonel Henry's straightforward words.

"Rest assured, I won't make it difficult for my friends. Besides, I've been on the Reagan, and I still understand these taboos. I'm here just to escort some things. ”

Chen Ming, who came back to his senses, took a sip of the whiskey in the Haibo glass unhurriedly.

"Very unique flavor, did Mr. Lieutenant Colonel's ancestors ever be Scots?"

"No, I'm a Celtic. Still, the whiskey flavor of this Talisker really fascinated me. The smoky malt is not expensive, but it tastes great in the mouth. If you like, please bring two bottles with you when you go back. ”

Chen Ming agreed with a smile, and at the same time thanked the lieutenant colonel for his kindness. Although it is estimated that there will be no chance to drink it in the escort formation, it can be brought back to drink in the future.

"I'm here this time mainly because of a disgusting thing that happened during our first escort missions. A merchant ship ignored the command of the escort formation and was about to leave the waters of the Gulf of Aden. Break away from the formation without authorization, adjust the course and speed. ”

Chen Ming put down the wine glass in his hand, and when he talked about business, the expression on his face became serious.

"This kind of behavior not only poses great risks and hidden dangers to the formation navigation, but also adds many additional risks and difficulties to our escort work. I believe that Mr. Lieutenant Colonel is also very unacceptable to such behavior, right? ”

"Of course. However, it has been a long time since this has happened to our Bald Eagle merchant ships. There may have been in the early days, when I hadn't been to the Fifth Fleet yet. However, we have a provision that if a merchant ship escorted by the Bald Eagle Fleet does not obey orders, the Bald Eagle Navy will never accept an application for rescue and protection from any of its personnel and vessels. ”

After Lieutenant Colonel Henry finished, he seemed to think of something and asked in surprise.

"What? Chen, doesn't your country punish this kind of behavior? ”

"Of course not. It's just that we are not experienced enough to carry out an open sea escort mission for the first time. The escort treaty signed in the early stage did not specify that the protected merchant ships must obey the command of the escort formation, so this incident can only give a painless warning and fine. And I personally think that this is not enough, the punishment is too light! ”

Chen Ming, thinking of the word "exchange" noted in the reply given by the formation headquarters, deliberately added that this was just his personal opinion.

"I can't understand your country's decision. Our police have special enforcement decrees, not to mention our combat units overseas. Convoy operations, strictly speaking, are also military operations of the armed forces. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Henry took a sip of wine and said strangely.

"The fact that these protected merchant ships joined the formation meant that they were involved in a military operation. Then it is the mercy of God not to listen to the command and not shoot them in military operations. It is hard to imagine on what basis your country makes such a judgment? Is that bullshit legal? ”

Chen Ming was slightly speechless when he heard Lieutenant Colonel Henry's words.

Happy America, shoot every. In that country, law enforcement officers, military personnel do have a higher degree of discretion. Even in operations, the first priority is to ensure the personal safety of law enforcement and military personnel, or the completion of tasks.

For example, in China, you are stopped by the traffic police for speeding. Someone may take a cigarette out of his bosom and want to give it to the traffic police comrades to ask for accommodation. But in Bald Eagle, if you dare to do such a move, there is a probability of more than 90% that you will be directly defeated

Because the traffic police don't know if you will pull out a cigarette or a pistol, but since there is a possibility that you will pull out a pistol, it is not illegal for them to shoot you to death.

"You can't say that, the law still has to be obeyed, otherwise the law will become a joke. But again, I believe that the officers and men of the navies of all countries involved in the escort do not want to see that happen again. Therefore, I would like to propose that the naval escort formations of various countries sign a treaty together. ”

Chen Ming did not slowly explain to Henry the idea of cultural differences between the two countries, after all, this kind of thing is not good or bad, and what suits the current situation of his country is the best.

"There is only one central piece at the heart of such a treaty. Any act of not obeying the instructions of the naval escort formation, changing the position of the formation without authorization, or leaving the team without authorization will be dealt with jointly. ”

"For example, changing one's position during the assembly without permission can give a warning. And this warning is to follow its ship information. The next time it is in another country's escort operation, if this happens again, the navies of all countries will jointly block him. They all refused their escort applications, so that all the captains who dared to break the rules and think about making money had to think about it themselves. ”

"Is it more important to make a quick buck or to continue to pass safely through the waters of the Gulf of Aden?"

After listening to Chen Ming's proposal, Henry was quite interested. After all, even the illegal merchant ships blocked by their Bald Eagle Navy still sail in the Gulf of Aden, but they have chosen the naval escorts of some weaker countries.

And Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who occasionally saw this scene, was naturally unhappy in his heart. But with this treaty, it's different, if you dare to be honest when the time comes, then we won't take you to play. This deterrent will naturally be much greater.

"I agree in principle with your initiative, which is a very good proposal. However, I still need to report to the Fifth Fleet Command first, and I think you can understand that. ”

Chen Ming nodded naturally in understanding, after all, they are all soldiers. Such an international cooperation treaty is really not something that these two colonel-level officers can decide on at the moment of a snap of their heads.

However, since Lieutenant Colonel Henry has a favorable opinion, Chen Ming basically feels stable.

Because although the Fifth Fleet of the Bald Eagle Navy is stationed in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, there is actually only one Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and a Ticonderoga-class cruiser that actually carry out escort missions. Therefore, regarding the work of escort, the opinion of Captain Henry is very important.

In addition, it is currently the country with the strongest naval military power in the world. If the bald eagles are willing to sign a contract or even be led by their proposal, then it is basically a sure thing that other countries will sign a contract.
