Chen Ming spent three months aboard the Reagan.

In the past three months, Chen Ming changed from a two-seater trainer F-18B to an F-18E and flew solo. Got to know the work of the operators in the catapult operation pod, and the work of the air traffic control center, located under the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.

I also learned that the sound coming from the headset when I landed the ship for the first time was a notification command from the pilot who was responsible for guiding the landing at the stern.

It turned out that he always knew that the aircraft carrier was very large, but when Chen Ming actually stepped on the largest single weapon in the history of human warfare, he really understood the meaning of big.

Four or five thousand crew members worked and lived on the carrier at the same time, which was more than the total population of some of Bald Eagle's towns. Every time I go to the cafeteria, it is overcrowded, and I don't feel the loneliness of sailing out to sea.

For three months, Chen Ming did not even set foot in most of the area on the Reagan.

If the first impression of the aircraft carrier on Chen Ming is big, then the second impression is discipline. To keep this massive war machine running safely and smoothly. Skill and experience alone are not enough, and the crew on the aircraft carrier, especially the deck staff, has a strong sense of discipline.

The Seven-Colored Legion has its own duties, and due to the noisy flight deck, it relies more often on gestures to communicate. When the dispatch commander wearing a yellow vest made a forbidden gesture, both the pilot and the rest of the staff would immediately stop what they were doing. Everyone seemed so crisp and neat.

Chen Ming first met the commander of the Reagan, Colonel Klatt, in the wheelhouse of the aircraft carrier, and Colonel Klatt informed Chen Ming that he had been transferred to Washington. Ever since he spent a month on the aircraft carrier, Chen Ming had admired the colonel who was able to command and run this huge sea fortress in an orderly manner.

When Chen Ming heard this order, he immediately realized that the time had come for him to leave. After seriously saluting the colonel in front of him, Chen Ming packed his luggage. After saying goodbye to Charlie, as well as other familiar pilots and deck crew, he boarded an AWACS aircraft that was going back to land and returned to the air station on the coast.

After arriving at the air station, Chen Ming did not stop. After saying goodbye to the AWACS crew, he walked out of the air station. Call a taxi and head straight to the airport.

Speaking of which, this is the third time that Chen Ming has sat in Major General Zhang's office. Unlike the previous two times, this time Mr. Ambassador was also there.

Filtering out the words of praise that made Chen Ming feel blushing, Chen Ming suddenly became excited when he heard that his TAC-388 sniper rifle would also return with him on the special plane to pick up the embassy staff to return to China.

Chen Ming is also a little funny when he thinks about it, it seems that he has a bit of a habit of collecting firearms. I went to Lao A and got 95 out, and I went to Bald Eagle and got a high-precision sniper. Thinking about his somewhat funny behavior back then, Chen Ming made up his mind to hand over this high-precision sniper to Lu Huaicheng after returning to China, and asked him to help hand it over to the country. I hope to help the research and development of high-precision sniper rifles in China.

Just when Chen Ming praised his consciousness, Mr. Ambassador suddenly spoke.

"Chen Ming, don't run away later. In the evening, I ate at the embassy, and they all said that they would go out and go home to dumplings, and eat noodles with the embassy staff who were about to return to China in the evening. Lao Zhang and I will see you off. ”

Chen Ming smiled and agreed to Mr. Ambassador. After receiving Chen Ming's reply, Mr. Ambassador quickly took his leave and left. After all, he is a plenipotentiary minister of a country abroad, and it is extremely rare to be able to take the time to meet Chen Ming, and Chen Ming can understand it.

"What are you smirking at, don't you go to change your clothes? Are you planning to go home in this bald eagle's military uniform? ”

Major General Zhang saw Chen Ming's smirk and drove him out angrily.

Chen Ming went out with a smile and found a staff member outside to inquire about the location where his military uniform was stored. In the embassy, Chen Ming was very recognizable in a bald eagle uniform, and the person who was stopped by Chen Ming also knew Chen Ming's identity.

took Chen Ming to find a staff member who was responsible for managing the internal affairs of the embassy, and Chen Ming got his military uniform after a four-year absence. Follow the staff to the embassy dormitory area, and in his dormitory, take off the bald eagle military uniform and change into his own regular uniform.

I thought that the Bald Eagle military uniform was useless, and I was going to throw it away, but I suddenly thought that after all, I bought it with money. I folded it and put it in a bag and handed it to the staff, asking him to put it back in his suitcase.

Wearing a military uniform that truly belonged to him, Chen Ming ran back to the embassy happily. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, three hours before the embassy dinner, and seven hours before the plane to take them home.

Suddenly found that he had become the busiest person in the busy embassy, Chen Ming reluctantly found a place to sit. Suddenly thinking that his mobile phone had been turned off for three months since he got on the aircraft carrier, he hurriedly turned it out of his bag.

That's right, this bag is the one that was given to the Denver base when escorting Chance. Chen Ming, who doesn't pay attention to any taboos, just took it and used it naturally.

Turn on the phone, and a series of text message prompts come to mind. What Chen Ming saw the most was sent by Huang Huai.

Open the text message, the earliest one, and sure enough, the message that proposed to break up. Behind are some words of concern after seeing that Chen Ming did not reply.

Chen Ming had been prepared for this result. Since the Iraco incident, the communication between the two has become as if there is a barrier. Every time we talk on the phone, we get less and less to talk about.

Huang Huai's father has already gone to the sea to do business, and his grades are not bad. Huang Huai also came out of the General Political Art Troupe and signed a contract with a record company in Duwan. In the past year or so, Chen Ming's daily routine is to get on the plane, get off the plane to comment, eat and sleep. When Huang Huai and Chen Ming talked about their new friends, Chen Ming could only tell him that he had a few friends from White and John.

There are fewer and fewer common topics, and as Chen Ming's training progress becomes busier. After Huang Huai completed the signing, announcements, commercial performances and other activities also began to run around as trapeze. The phone call between the two, who were tired every night, went from once every three days to once a month at the end.

Chen Ming silently typed back, thought about it, and also told Huang Huai the news that he was about to return to China. Seeing the congratulatory message immediately sent from the other side, Chen Ming exited the SMS page of this number.

There was no expected sadness, and there was nothing heartbreaking.

Chen Ming sent farewell messages to White, John, Charlie and others, and also told himself the fact that he was actually an exchange student. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that he came to steal the teacher.

"We're friends anyway. John and I will complete the refit training in a week, and we will apply to go to the Atlantic Fleet. ”

After waiting for a while, just when Chen Ming thought that White and the others would be annoyed, he received a text message from White. Seeing the content of the text message, Chen Ming smiled slightly, did not reply, and put the mobile phone in his pocket.
