Chapter 165: A Strange Situation
The response of the Fifth Fleet of the Bald Eagle Navy was swift.
Captain Henry of the USS Williams and the captain of another Ticonderoga-class cruiser, who was on escort duty, would have the idea, and if they both agreed, the Fifth Fleet Command would send an invitation letter on their behalf.
Although nominally the Fifth Fleet is responsible for escort missions, no one is a fool. The Fifth Fleet is a standard fleet with one aircraft carrier, and it is not the same as one or two frigates and destroyers sent by many countries.
Therefore, the command of the Fifth Fleet does not pay much attention to escort affairs in peacetime. As for the strategic game behind such a special establishment of the Fifth Fleet, Chen Ming also did not care, and this kind of problem was not something he should be concerned about now. But the fact that the Fifth Fleet is not in charge of things is another core that he uses.
Lieutenant Commander Henry, after receiving a reply from the fleet command, called another captain. After a short conversation, the other party quickly agreed. Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Henry's smiling face after hanging up the phone, Chen Ming also smiled reassuringly and said goodbye.
It's already past night, after all, it's a warship of another country, and it's better to go back early in the evening. Lieutenant Colonel Henry also understood and sent Chen Ming to the helicopter deck, and instructed Chen Ming to come with him to welcome the representatives of other countries to come and sign the contract.
Regarding Lieutenant Colonel Henry's request, Chen Ming was a little embarrassed. After all, he knows his own family affairs, Wang Lei and Chen Ming are very sure that they signed the contract, as for letting himself come over and be in the limelight, Chen Ming feels that it is not very likely. That's too disrespectful to the leader.
Chen Ming, who walked up to the helicopter with two bottles of wine, didn't notice Lieutenant Colonel Henry's thoughtful expression. Chen Ming was sitting on the helicopter at the moment, his heart full of excitement.
Although Chris's fame was exploited in the middle, there was also a unique public outrage. But in any case, it is also through the cooperation of the escort navies of various countries, even if this cooperation is only in the aspect of resisting illegal merchant ships.
After returning to the 168 ship and reporting his behavior on the Williams to Captain Lei, Chen Ming reluctantly separated one of the two bottles of whiskey given by Lieutenant Commander Henry, and then returned to his private room with the remaining bottle of wine and fell asleep.
The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Chen Ming. After receiving affirmative replies from the captains of its two escort warships, the Fifth Fleet Command quickly drafted a contract brief and sent it to the commanders of the escort navies along with the invitation letters.
The navies of all countries that received the invitation letter all looked strange. It's not because of the content of the official letter, but because the place where the contract was signed was actually on the 168 ship of the naval escort formation of the flower planter.
When did the relationship between the bald eagle and the flower grower become so ambiguous?
"Damn..... Captain, what are you doing?! ”
The next morning, Chen Ming just opened his eyes. I saw that Captain Lei Daming had slipped into his room without knowing when, and was staring at him with bronze bell-like eyes.
Behind him, there were also the commissars, deputy commanders and others of the 168 ship. Yes, the leaders of the 168 ship are actually here at the moment. Did you have an accident? Phew, I didn't do anything bad!
"Chen Ming, is everything you reported last night true? You can tell you more about what you did on the Williams. ”
Lei Daming didn't speak, but the political commissar behind him couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, that's weird. What kind of medicine do you sell in your bald eagle gourd? ”
Listening to Chen Ming's retelling this time is no different from last night, and then look at Chen Ming's confused expression. The commissar reached out and stabbed Captain Lei.
"Why are you stabbing me? I don't know. All right, get up quickly. The leaders of the meeting will come over, as well as their naval counterparts from various countries. I won't have any more trouble with you, I'll arrange for the cooking class to add a few more dishes. ”
After Lei Daming finished, he left in a hurry, leaving only Chen Ming, whose mouth grew bigger and bigger.
"Commissar, sign a contract on our ship?"
Seeing the political commissar nodding, Chen Ming was really shocked.
No, can anyone tell me what the situation is? Chen Ming thought in his mind while getting dressed with a fog full of confusion.
To be reasonable, Chen Ming originally saw that General Wang Lei was unwilling to come forward, so he had the idea of letting the bald eagle come forward. Now Bald Eagle has come forward, but how can the signing location get on his own ship? Although in this way, I will be in the limelight, but I have not thought about this limelight.
There are problems in terms of both national strength and personal factors. National strength, we are the strongest? That's bragging, but it's definitely not weak. Personal factors, Chen Ming is just a major, not even the deputy commander of the ship, although he is a little famous in the Bald Eagle army, but it is also through Chris's tiger skin, the word Chen Ming is really used, and most of the Bald Eagle soldiers will not know who he is.
After hurriedly getting dressed, as soon as he went out, Chen Ming saw Commander Wang Lei and the political commissar of the formation coming down from the helicopter, as well as several staff officers of the formation headquarters, and Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Weiguo, deputy director of the Fleet Propaganda Department who escorted the escort of the formation.
"Okay, you son, this kind of big thing has been done by you quietly?!"
After Chen Ming and the others greeted each other lukewarmly, Xiao Weiguo ran over in a hurry.
"I've decided, I'll stay on the 168 ship and follow you in the future, and see what other big news you can make?!"
"What big news can I do? I'm still confused. ”
Hearing Xiao Weiguo's words, Chen Ming replied with a wry smile.
"But don't, yesterday I knew you were going to the Williams that you were an idle lord. I also went out of my way to look through your past. Huo, good fellow, the enemy of the Navy. There is no shortage of material to follow. ”
"What, you're not welcome?"
Xiao Weiguo's words are all here, what else can Chen Ming do.
After all, he is a member of the Fleet Propaganda Department, and he is still a deputy director. Following the escort formation out is itself to record and report the deeds of the escort formation, in other words, the degree of freedom of the people is also very high. Thinking about the 168 ship, as long as Captain Lei does not object, Chen Ming will not say a word.
After a few small talks between the two, a helicopter painted with the bald eagle military insignia slowly landed on the helicopter deck of the 168 ship. Lieutenant Colonel Henry stepped off the plane with another white man who also had the rank of lieutenant colonel.
There was no such thing as a political commissar in the Bald Eagle Army, so Chen Ming guessed that the man might be the captain of another cruiser. But now that the leader is present, it is not his turn to take the initiative to join in the fun.
After saluting and greeting each other with Wang Lei and other formation leaders, Henry saw Chen Ming standing at the back of the crowd. Immediately, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he directly crossed the captains of the 168 and 169 ships, crossed a group of colonels, and the lieutenant colonel ran in front of Chen Ming.
"Oh, my dear friend. We're meeting again, and yesterday I invited you to come to the Williams to greet the representatives of the navies with us, and I see that you are a little embarrassed. But we won't embarrass our friends the most, so I suggest that the command change the meeting location to your ship, surprise? ”
