Chapter Ninety-Six: The Rich Days Are So Boring

After coming out of Major General Zhang's office, Chen Ming found a hotel nearby to stay. Since I am in the embassy, I have my own room.

Besides, I have money in my pocket now, and I can't trouble the comrades of the embassy.

Connected to the hotel's network port, Chen Ming opened his laptop and prepared to receive a mission for the escort. In Bald Eagle, convoy missions are frequent, especially after the outbreak of war.

The task of the escort is to escort the remains of the fallen Bald Eagle soldiers back to their homes with dignity, and to return the national flag and the relics of the soldiers to the relatives of the martyrs in complete and complete form. This kind of task is generally collected by the compatriots or comrades-in-arms of the fallen soldiers, and the ceremonial nature is important.

Chen Ming opened the website of the Ministry of National Defense on his computer, and the Ministry of Defense of Bald Eagle publishes the list of fallen soldiers on the website every month. It's just that Chen Ming just opened the website and was stunned.

I saw that on the first page of this month's list of fallen soldiers released by the Ministry of Defense, there was the name of Chance.

Chance Phelps, right name. Chen Ming took a look at the prefix, PFC, and military rank again. The suffix, E-3 level is also paired.

Chen Ming's eyes flickered a little, it wouldn't be so coincidental. Although the bald eagle has a high rate of renaming, Chen Ming has a hunch in his psychology that this person is the shy senior soldier he has seen on the battlefield of Yilako.

Coole Foton Colorado. After Chen Ming saw the last address, he hurriedly opened his backpack. He knew that Chance was from Colorado, but the exact address was unclear. Chance wrote it, but he was in a hurry that day, and Chen Ming didn't read it after he came back.

After reading the handwriting on the note, Chen Ming confirmed it without a doubt. Click on the button to escort him on the Ministry of Defense's website, then fill in your information and submit.

Since I picked you up and brought you to Ilako, I'll send you home by myself. Chen Ming took a cigarette, walked to the balcony of the hotel, lit it and looked at a river outside the hotel and thought silently.

Is Chen Ming uncomfortable? Yes, but it doesn't seem to be as sad as expected. Maybe it's because I'm not particularly familiar with Chance, or maybe it's a disregard for life. After all, there were too many dead people in that land.

"Ding~"

Chen Ming heard the phone ringing in the house, turned around and walked into the house, and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Hey, White. Are you back? ”

"We've been back for a few days. However, there is bad news, Chen. ”

Chen Ming heard that on the phone, White's voice was a little low, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

"Something happened to John?"

"It's not him, it's Mafo. He was originally a transporter, but later he was made to be a little green man. When returning to the ship, the blocking rope broke, and the 8 little green men were cut in half on the spot. Where are you now? Can we come back and see him off together? ”

"You wait!"

Chen Ming heard the voice and hurriedly ran to the computer to see if the escort mission he had just applied for could be canceled.

The little green man is the operator wearing a green vest who is responsible for the maintenance and support of the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft among the deck operators of the aircraft carrier. Aircraft carrier deck operators are inherently high-risk jobs that even many insurance companies are unwilling to insure, and the little green man in a green vest can be said to be the most high-risk of high-risk.

Because the key to the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft is a catapult and a blocking cable.

It's okay when it takes off, after all, no one is stupid enough to stand behind the butt of a carrier-based aircraft that is about to take off and eat a tail flame.

However, when landing, once the blocking cable breaks due to aging or cracks, it will be impacted by the huge force of the carrier-based aircraft landing at high speed. The thick blocking rope at the mouth of the bowl was smashed and snapped and flew sideways on the deck, no different from a jumping ghost-headed broadsword. If you touch it, you will be cut in the waist, or you will be missing an arm or a leg.

Unfortunately, Mafo had the worst possible outcome.

"Damn, I just took on a convoy assignment and can't cancel it right now. When did the remains of the Buddha arrive in Denver? ”

Chen Ming opened his mouth a little irritably when he saw the confirmed escort mission on the website, as well as the information that reminded him to go to the Denver base on time in the morning two days later.

If Conan was a dead elementary school student, Chen Ming felt that he was also a little guilty now. When I was in China, I had an accident when I went to sea. As a result, they have now run to the bald eagle, and it is actually the same, and it is a dead man's big thing.

"Mafo's aircraft carrier just docked today, also two days later. Then we'll see you in Denver in two days, and after you've completed your escort mission, go to Kingston and join us for Mafo's funeral. ”

White didn't know the real reason why Chen Ming was uncomfortable, but he didn't say much. After agreeing to attend the funeral in Maver's hometown of Kingston, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy sound on the phone, Chen Ming packed his luggage. The joy of staying in a high-end hotel a few hours ago is gone, and the rooms that looked so bright and beautiful are now looking and feeling good.

Packed up my luggage, booked a business car at the hotel front desk to take guests to the airport and went straight to the airport. After arriving at the airport, I booked the latest flight to Denver directly.

After Chen Ming landed, he suddenly found that he had run in the wrong place. After a moment's pause, he turned around and headed back to the airport.

The Bald Eagle Army has a special funeral bureau, which belongs to the Air Force Field Bureau.

It was first set up by the Air Force, but all branches of the military joined the ranks in the future.

The funeral bureau was first set up at the Denver Air Force Base, and due to the subsequent centralized addition of funeral affairs by various military branches, few people now call it Denver Air Force Base, but directly call it Denver Air Base.

Slowly, even official documents were used, and the Denver base became the funeral center for the entire Bald Eagle Army.

But coincidentally, the capital city of Colorado is called Denver. The Denver Air Force Base, which was responsible for funerals, was in Delaware. Chen Ming, who was in a hurry, told the staff at Washington Airport to buy a ticket to Denver, and the staff naturally booked him a flight to Denver International Airport.

It wasn't until he walked out of the terminal that Chen Ming saw the words Welcome to Colorado that he realized that he had run to the wrong place. Fortunately, there was plenty of time, and when he returned to the airport, Chen Ming first bought a ticket to Philadelphia, a city near Denver Air Force Base in Delaware.

Book a room at a nearby hotel through the airport information desk. Chen Ming sat in the car of the hotel pick-up service and checked in to the hotel very smoothly. After agreeing with the front desk for the next day's wake-up service and drop-off service, Chen Ming came to the room. Leave your luggage aside, lie down on the bed, and fall asleep deeply.

After almost two years of coming to Bald Eagle, Chen Ming has unconsciously developed the habit of taking a bath before going out on Bald Eagle's side. This is different from most people in the country who take a shower and sleep after returning home at night.

Early the next morning, without waiting for the wake-up service at the front desk, Chen Ming woke up naturally. It seems that the jet lag is almost over. Pick up your luggage, go downstairs and get in the car and head straight to the airport.

Waiting on the plane, Chen Ming sighed secretly.

The days of money are so unpretentious.

And boring........

PS: The Funeral Affairs Center in Denver should have been established in 09, and the plot needs to advance the timeline a bit, hehehe.
