It should be, don't worry, Kiko. When we dock, I'll talk to your department head and give you a leave, what's the matter? ”

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Xizi's words. Immediately I felt a burst of amusement.

This Jiang Xizi is old, even if he has been away for so many years, he still has such a deep affection for Zheng Yuanhai. is worthy of Zheng Yuanhai's number one dogleg.

"Hehe, that's a good feeling. Thank you, Director Chen. ”

Jiang Xizi was also happy to hear Chen Ming's words, and then asked as if he had thought of something.

"Director Chen, won't you go down to see you then?"

"Not necessarily, let's see if there's a chance. I'll definitely go if I have time. ”

Jiang Xizi's question made Chen Ming a little painful.

Now that the Chinese New Year is more than a month away, the aircraft carrier has come from far away from the north, and it is definitely impossible for it to be floating on the sea all the time.

Chen Ming believes that this time, there is also a task that Captain Zhang did not say. It is to inspect and accept the wharves built on this side of the South China Sea that can be used for aircraft carriers to berth.

But once berthed, it is difficult to say how long it will be moored. In case of staying in the south for the New Year, it is not impossible.

If the aircraft carrier really intends to spend the New Year in the south, according to the general law. A cadre like Chen Ming, whose home is in the south, will certainly reduce his duty tasks and give priority to arranging annual leave, so that the officers and men can go home to visit their relatives.

But on the contrary, he had already taken an exceptional leave last year for Zheng Yuanhai's marriage, and he also released the words that he would not take annual leave in the future.

After all, you Chen Ming is not the only cadre on the ship. How can you take annual vacations, and people are on duty every year. This is not only unfair, but also has a certain damage to Chen Ming's reputation on the ship, as well as the authority of the captain.

"Alright, let's go, come in with me. Not to mention anything else in the flight control room, this view is really good. ”

After prevaricating Jiang Xizi, Chen Ming took Jiang Xizi into the flight control room.

The sonar room where Jiang Xizi works is located on the ground floor of the aircraft carrier, and this is the second time he has been on the flight deck, not to mention watching the surrounding scenery in such a place as the flight control room.

It's like a local uncle, it's rare to enter the city once, and it's fresh to see everywhere. Now he has been invited to the observation deck of a skyscraper.

Now there is no flight mission, so it is not a big problem to let Jiang Xizi take a look at the scenery here. Chen Ming was excited when he saw Jiang Xizi alone. Obviously, he didn't need to be with him, so he continued to snuggle up in his seat and prepare to drain the cup of coffee that was just warm.

"Lao Chen! Look! The ships of the South-Eastern Fleet are coming! ”

Chen Ming had just taken a sip of coffee, and he was almost frightened by Jiang Xizi's sudden yelling. Even the rest of the officers and soldiers who were on duty in the flight control room couldn't help but frown and stare at Jiang Xizi when they heard this.

"I'm sorry, Squad Leader Jiang and I are both from the Southeast Fleet, and we have feelings for the old troops."

Chen Ming saw this scene in the flight control room, and hurriedly swallowed the coffee in his mouth. Then he explained to the officers and soldiers in the flight control room. Jiang Xizi also hurriedly apologized.

He knew it was not good for him to do this. Especially after Chen Ming made an exception and put him in the flight control room, he also disturbed other people's work.

Chen Ming, the top boss, came forward to apologize, and Jiang Xizi was a high-ranking non-commissioned officer. Coupled with the reasons Chen Ming said, they can all understand. This little turmoil quickly passed in the understanding smiles on everyone's faces.

"Alright, alright. Don't be surprised. ”

Chen Ming walked up to Jiang Xizi and scolded with a deliberate smile. Then he picked up a telescope on the side and handed it to Jiang Xizi.

"Oh, take it and look for it. Let's see if we can find the 188 ship. ”

"Hehe, thank you, Director Chen."

Jiang Xizi and Zheng Yuanhai met in the pigsty, which can be regarded as a fellowship in times of trouble. Chen Ming understands the relationship between the two, but he won't criticize Jiang Xizi too hard because of this, just pay a little attention.

"Found it, there are really 188! The old platoon is definitely coming! ”

Sure enough, this time Jiang Xizi was much more clever. When it was discovered that the 188 ship appeared in the formation sent by the Southeast Fleet, Jiang Xizi held back the excitement on his face. ran to Chen Ming's side and whispered.

"Ordinary heart, normal heart. It's all coming, and I can't run away. It's going to take a while to sail, if you have the conditions, I'll send you to 188 to play? ”

Chen Ming saw Jiang Xizi's joyful round head, held back a smile, and put on a serious look. Said angrily and funny.

However, Chen Ming's words did not make Jiang Xizi happy. The aircraft carrier sailed this time, bringing together different ships of the three fleets, which already contained the meaning of direct communication with each other.

In each of the previous formations, the ship organized some of its officers and men to visit the aircraft carrier and held an exchange meeting at the same time. There are also officers and men on aircraft carriers who go to other ships to communicate.

There is a relationship between Jiang Xizi and the captain of the 188 ship as close friends, and Chen Ming believes that the captain will not refuse to send Xizi to the 188 ship for exchange.

"Hehe, I obey orders!"

Chen Ming ignored Jiang Xizi's pretended to be reserved. While the two were chatting, the formation of the Southeast Fleet had already converged with the aircraft carrier formation, and the ships of the formation were being rotated.

As Chen Ming expected, this formation rotation is still the same as before, retreating one and making up for one.

The first time I saw this scene, it was shocking, but the second time I felt a little dragged. After all, such a rotation is indeed too time-consuming.

According to Chen Ming's idea, the ships on the Southeast Fleet side should first line up the formation, and the aircraft carrier would be finished if they drove directly in. What would have taken less than half an hour to do, now it takes more than two hours.

However, this kind of matter at the level of formation command is not something that Chen Ming can interfere with. Chen Ming can also understand the psychology of seeking stability above, and now the navy is such a baby bump. That's really afraid of falling in your hand, and I'm afraid of melting in my mouth.

Chen Ming, who had seen it once, continued to drink his coffee boredly. Jiang Xizi, who saw this scene for the first time, was lying on the porthole and watching with relish.

"Eh, Director Chen. Look, why hasn't the 188 ship moved? ”

"Refund one and make up for one, it's not here yet."

Chen Ming replied lazily.

Zheng Yuanhai's 188 ship is a Type 052 destroyer with first-class air defense performance. In the aircraft carrier formation, it is natural to rely on the internal position, and to retreat one to make up for the other, they all start the rotation from the frigates on the periphery, so now the 188 ship is not moving, Chen Ming is not surprised.

Time ticked by, and two hours passed in an instant. The 188 ship still didn't move, and Chen Ming was a little surprised.

Because the later the time drags on, the closer the position that the 188 ship will fill to the aircraft carrier. Until now, only a few ships around the aircraft carrier have not been rotated.

"I'm a ghost, this old Zheng has a hand."

When Chen Ming saw the 188 ship slowly sailing into the starboard side of the aircraft carrier, he couldn't help but exclaim.

As for Jiang Xizi, he had already rushed out of the flight control room when he saw the 188 ship on the starboard side of the aircraft carrier, and a person came out of the bridge and waved his hand to this side.

After Chen Ming shook his head with a smile, while answering the phone, he also walked out of the flight control room behind Jiang Xizi, stood outside the high point on the island, and waved to the opposite side.

"Chen Ming! I've found a good location! ”
