At the end of the morning exercise, Zhang Dabiao and a few other bastards walked in a row on the track without accident. Even Chen Ming could only bend over beside them, holding his knees with his hands and panting heavily.

This first place is really not easy to take. Who would have thought that there would be so many running animals in the naval units that rarely practice physical fitness?!

"Don't lie down, get up and walk twice. I know you're tired right now, but now your muscles are all packed with lactic acid. If you don't take two steps and scatter, you will receive it tomorrow. ”

Pulling up a soldier lying on the ground, Chen Ming patted him on the back as a sign of encouragement as he spoke.

Like a dutiful shepherd dog, Chen Ming stood behind the warriors, driving the exhausted warriors to continue walking slowly. At the same time, adjust the rhythm of your breathing as you walk.

What makes Chen Ming happier is that in addition to morning exercises. In the morning training, in addition to Zhang Dabiao and a few other fighters who were fighting hard to train, several fighters also consciously joined in. Secretly increase the amount of training you have, or raise the standard of self-demand.

Even most of the soldiers, including veterans, still go their own way. But when I looked at these people, there was no surprise or other emotions in my eyes. It's like I'm used to it.

Chen Ming, who knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, didn't say anything about it. At noon, he specially found the squad leader of the cooking squad in the base canteen and asked him to open a small stove for the soldiers. Make sure to add an extra dish to each table.

I thought that the days would continue so plainly, little by little, through the actions of Zhang Dabiao and a few other soldiers, it gradually infected the entire ship. Then prepare for the regular assessment in two years. By the way, I brought the children, but a sudden notice came in the afternoon, which made the 575 ship explode.

"Hey, did you hear that? At the beginning of next year, our fleet will send ships to participate in the RIMPAC military exercise! ”

"What's that?!"

"RIMPAC military exercises? You don't even know this, do you? You're too out! I heard that the whole fleet selected four ships to participate, and it seems that there are only three combat ships. ”

Just when the soldiers were talking, Political Commissar Huang in the war room also looked at Chen Ming and asked the same question.

"Lao Chen, the process of the RIMPAC military exercise has been determined. A week later, three ships were selected for each base. A month later, they went to the fleet for final selection, and then after half a year of intensive training, they set off to participate in the RIMPAC military exercise. ”

Political Commissar Huang frowned as he explained the selection process to Chen Ming. It seems that the quota of three combat ships is quite large, but it is scattered to the three bases of the fleet, each detachment, and the competition is not fierce.

After all, integrated supply ships are also counted as combat ships. And this ship, it is not yet possible to bring .... Modern warfare is about logistics, if you can't keep up with logistics, what's the difference between it and a three-second man?

Ten thousand guns look like a tiger, quite a cowhide. But the ammunition consumed by a round of shelling is also astronomical, and once the logistics can't keep up, you can only fight one round.

A purely logistics ship, an integrated supply ship. There are only two places left.

And according to the usual convention of high and low matching, among the two places, the frigate and the destroyer must be one each.

In other words, if the 575 ship wants to participate in the RIMPAC military exercise, then it must take care of all the frigates of the entire Southeast Fleet in order to be qualified to participate in the exercise.

"It's a little stressful for a week."

What Political Commissar Huang understands, Chen Ming, as the military commander, also knows. The three ships mentioned on the surface really can't be regarded as three places, in fact, there is only one quota left for the 575 ships to compete!

"Not really. Hey, you said it would be three months late, no, two months. We all have the confidence to fight. It's a pity .... This is the first time we've been invited to perform. ”

Think about the frigates in the fleet, experienced captains, and crew relationships that have been running in for a longer time. Political Commissar Huang has basically given up the idea of participating in the performance.

"It's all about participation. Besides, we're not without an advantage. At the very least, there is a lot less competition within our base. ”

Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, it's the same as Commissar Huang. Chen Ming really has no confidence in the fact that the 575 ship is fighting for the only place.

"Besides, I think it's an opportunity. You said, take this opportunity to accelerate the integration of the spirit of striving for the first and not the second into the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"You mean?!"

After hearing Chen Ming's words, Political Commissar Huang's mind moved. Since there is little hope, then don't think about participating in the show. Think about it from another angle, what benefits can such a thing bring to yourself and to the ship you are on?

"I'm going to do a devil's week on the ship on the pretext of preparing to compete for the show. Training starts at 6 a.m. and ends at 11 p.m. The requirements of training, slogans, just use only the first, not the second. Strive to pass this special training, so that more soldiers can experience the feeling of working hard for themselves and for 575. ”

"Isn't this going to be too long? Are the warriors physically able to eat? ”

As an old political worker, Political Commissar Huang's focus is always different from Chen Ming's. After hearing Chen Ming's thoughts, his first reaction was the issue of safety.

"It should be fine. Washing is counted as an hour, going to bed at 12 o'clock every night and getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Six hours of sleep is enough, and if it doesn't, I'll buy another box of glucose. In addition, don't we still have a balance in the training funds for the first half of the year? Take it out and give it to the soldiers to add extra meals to ensure a good supply of nutrition. ”

Chen Ming said as he smiled and patted Political Commissar Huang's shoulder. Signal to the other party that he has considered this issue. Don't worry.

"It's fine. You are the captain of the ship, and you have the final say in training. I'll go to the leaders first and see if I can get two doctors from the hospital to come to the ship and support them with the ship. ”

Looking at the appearance of Political Commissar Huang getting off the ship in a hurry, Chen Ming suddenly felt very lucky. The first time you lead a soldier and the first time you serve as a military commander, you can meet such a suitable partner.

"Notice, please assemble all officers and men on the flight deck!"

As soon as the smile on his face fell, Chen Ming opened his mouth and commanded. The communications soldier who had announced Chen Ming's order also followed behind Chen Ming and walked out of the war room towards the helicopter deck.

Even if he knew in his heart what was going to be announced next.

"Comrades!"

"Please take a break!"

Looking at the soldiers standing full of people in front of him, Chen Ming thought for a moment, organized his language, and spoke.

"I believe you have all heard more or less the news about the fleet sending ships to participate in next year's RIMPAC military exercise, and this news, I can tell you now, is true!"
