The night sky is full of stars, the gentle waves beat the hard hull, making a "bang" crashing sound, the sea surface is sparkling, and the moonlight reflected in the sea is cut into pieces by the waves.

Although the sea was a little choppy, the ship was steady, its low hull clinging to the sea in the moonlight, as if it were about to sink at any moment.

In fact, this is a submarine, the Q21 submarine in the sequence of the Nanyang detachment of the Chinese Navy, which is an improved model of a "shark-class" ocean-going attack submarine, although it once stood out among the world's submarines, but by the standards of this era, this submarine is indeed a little outdated, so the current Q21 submarine is only a training submarine, basically does not undertake combat missions, and is mainly used to train naval technical officers.

Now, a midshipman is standing on the bridge at the top of the submarine's enclosure, directing several sailors to set up the radio antenna on the wet bridge antenna base for a night training.

This naval cadet officer is named Zhang Haihuan, with the rank of second lieutenant, although he is only 23 years old, but this naval qualification is not low, at the age of 16 he entered the Naval Officer Preparatory Academy, at the age of 18 he served on a cruiser, as a marine engineer, at the age of 20 he entered the Naval Command College, focusing on submarine tactics, this year is the last year of his cadet career, if he performs well, he will officially graduate next year, and in a few years, perhaps, there will be another outstanding among the ace captains of the Chinese Navy's submarine troops.

Now, Zhang Haihuan is a communications trainee officer on the Q21 submarine and also serves as an acting chief engineer, and before the start of the internship period that year, he filled in the volunteer application and asked to serve overseas, so he has been at the Bangka Island naval base for almost a year, and he is very familiar with the waters here.

Soon, the sailors set up the radio antenna, and Zhang Haihuan quickly returned to the submarine command cabin to receive the next instruction from the captain.

"Order, get in touch with the base, inform our boat of its current location, tell the officer on duty that our boat has completed all training tasks and is about to return to the base, please prepare a dinner at the base, no meat, vegetable soup, and fresh vegetables."

"Yes!"

The captain's order was issued, Zhang Haihuan was very happy, this more than half a month of drifting at sea, he has almost forgotten the taste of fresh vegetables, because the submarine's refrigerator has not been repaired, this voyage training, they actually did not carry vegetables and fresh food, in addition to canned food, noodles, only brought some vitamin tablets and a small amount of fruit, these days, it was a canned meal, the officers and soldiers have long been salivating for vegetable soup and fresh vegetables, even if the captain did not expect this, Zhang Haihuan will remind him.

After quickly filming the telegram, Zhang Haihuan looked at the time, it was already half past eleven in the evening, and it was still more than an hour's voyage from the Bangka Island Naval Base, and when he returned to the base, it was already early in the morning.

At one o'clock in the morning, the old submarine finally sailed into the naval base, and after helping out at the submarine dock and completing the mooring work, the captain called all the crew to take a roll call, leaving a few officers on duty, and then gave an order, all the crew packed up and rushed to the canteen to eat, and then disbanded and went back to the dormitory to rest.

Zhang Haihuan is a trainee officer, there is a separate single dormitory, after eating, he and several trainee officers rushed to the dormitory together, before arriving at the dormitory, Zhang Haihuan saw that his dormitory was brightly lit, and the figure seemed to be shaking behind the curtains, and he couldn't help but feel quite strange, so he said goodbye to his companions, quickened his pace and rushed back to the dormitory, pushed open the hidden door, and looked into the room, and couldn't help but be even more strange, because at this moment, there were two admirals sitting in his single dormitory, one of whom was the rank of lieutenant general, and was the veteran of the submarine unit. Vice Admiral Zhang Guangyang, as for the other, is Vice Admiral Qi Jinbo, commander of the Bangka Island Naval Base.

Zhang Haihuan hurriedly threw down his bag, stood upright, and saluted the two generals.

"Navy Second Lieutenant Zhang Haihuan, I have seen two generals!"

Seeing Zhang Haihuan break into the house, the two admirals who were sitting at the head of the bed and reading the personal letters of Second Lieutenant Zhang Haihuan all stood up, one with a straight face, and the other with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qi Jinbo said with a smile: "Haihuan, you came back on time. Originally, I wouldn't have broken into my subordinates' dormitory without permission, but it was your father who pulled me over, otherwise he would have broken the door, and I had no choice but to follow him. Okay, I won't talk nonsense, you father and son say it yourself, it's rare to meet in this Nanyang, the night after tomorrow, I'll have a treat, you father and son come over together, and taste the commander's wife's best dishes. ”

After speaking, Qi Jinbo walked out, and when he passed by Zhang Haihuan's side, he patted him on the shoulder with his hand and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Boy, okay! Being a pen pal with the president's fourth lady is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. ”

After saying that, Qi Jinbo stepped out of the door, but Zhang Haihuan's face became even more ugly.

"You, close the door, come here, stand here."

Waiting for Qi Jinbo to leave, Lieutenant General Zhang Guangyang pointed to the bedside table in front of him, and then sat back at the head of the bed with a straight face.

Zhang Haihuan turned around silently, gently closed the door, and then pretended to lock it, but he didn't really lock it, but just took the bag of luggage on the ground and pressed the door, so that in the event of a "critical situation", he could quickly grab the door and leave.

Zhang Haihuan walked to the bedside table, stood there, and then asked Mr. Lieutenant General.

"Dad, when did your old man come over?"

"Now it's me asking you! I asked, you answered, understood? Zhang Guangyang still kept a straight face, and the tone of this question was also blunt.

"Understood. You ask. Zhang Haihuan's scalp tightened.

"These letters were all written to you by Ah Zhi, aren't they?"

Zhang Guangyang slapped the stack of personal letters in his hand on the bedside table, his face pale.

Haihuan nodded.

"When did you start working with Ah Chi as a pen pal?" Zhang Guangyang asked again.

"Last year, you took me to the West Hill Villa for a banquet, and after the banquet, I danced with Ah Zhi and talked about some things in the navy, Ah Zhi was very interested, and since then, we have been pen pals." Zhang Haihuan replied.

"You and Miss Fourth are pen pals, do you think the president knows about this matter?"

"This ...... I don't know. Ah Zhi said that this matter should be kept secret, and no one can tell it. ”

"No one can tell? So, you don't even tell me, do you? ”

"Yes."

"Bang!"

Zhang Guangyang took the case, his face was dark and dark.

"How can this be true? You kid doesn't have hard wings, you want to fly by yourself, don't you? Ah Zhi is only seventeen years old this year, and she is about to go to college, don't delay her studies, tomorrow, after the dinner, you will tell Ah Zhi in person, in the future, you two will not be pen pals! ”

"What? Banquet? Ah Zhi is now in New Gold Mountain? ”

Zhang Haihuan was stunned for a moment, his mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood what his father was talking about.

"The president visited Lan Fang, Ah Zhi also followed him stubbornly, tomorrow, the president will hold a dinner at the Governor's Palace, entertain the officers of the naval base, and ask you to come by name, otherwise, why would I make a special trip to read your letters?"

"You came with the president? No wonder you're here. ”

Zhang Haihuan suddenly realized that the president's visit to Lanfang, he had seen the report from the newspaper, but he didn't expect that his father Zhang Guangyang would also come with him, let alone that his pen pal would also come with him, no wonder the old man wanted to be angry and ask the teacher.

"The president knows that Ah Zhi and you are pen pals, so I want me to tell you that it is not impossible to be a pen pal with Ah Zhi, but the premise is that you must change careers, not only from the Navy to the Army, but also transfer you to the General Staff as an adjutant."

Zhang Guangyang glared at Zhang Haihuan, and then said something that made the young naval lieutenant sincerely frightened.

"How did the president know that Ah Zhi and I were pen pals? It's impossible for Ah Zhi to reveal the secret. Zhang Haihuan asked.

"Naturally, like me, it's the truth that comes out of the letter. Do you think that if you don't say it, we old men will have nothing to do? Tell you, Lao Tzu's opponents back then were much more powerful than you self-righteous guys, but in the end, they were still settled by us? Zhang Guangyang glanced at Zhang Haihuan.

"You are feudal paternalism." Zhang Haihuan muttered quietly.

"Who said that?" Zhang Guangyang asked loudly.

"Ah Zhi said."

Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Haihuan's mouth curled and he wanted to laugh, but when he saw Zhang Guangyang's collapsed face, he suddenly sank his face again.

"What did Zhi say? Ah Zhi said that he told you to be a small clerk in the company, so should you be a junior clerk? I sent you to the navy, not to ask you to tell other people's daughters to say witticisms in the navy, but to hope that you will magnify the lintel of the Zhang family and make our Zhang family a naval family! It's good that you kid actually made a pen pal with the president's daughter, and the words in the letter are ambiguous, which is really unusual! ”

Zhang Guangyang snorted angrily and said Zhang Haihuan, and at the end of the conversation, the conversation changed.

"Although the president has no objection to you being pen pals, he wants to transfer you to the General Staff as an adjutant, and I have declined on your behalf, you are still a naval officer and continue to serve in the submarine unit, you cannot change careers without my consent! Therefore, after the dinner tomorrow, you will tell Ah Zhi that in the future, you will no longer write letters, stop being pen pals, and cut off contact from now on, you will be your officer, and she will be her daughter, and each will go his own way. ”

For Lieutenant General Zhang Guangyang's good intentions, Second Lieutenant Zhang Haihuan is really inconsiderate.

"Dad, young people have young people's lives, why do you interfere? I don't have any special thoughts about Ah Zhi, the friendship between us is purely a pure friendship based on a new culture. ”

"Phew!"

Before Zhang Haihuan finished speaking, Zhang Guangyang spat at him.

"If you want to prove your pure friendship, you can also, after you end the probationary period, you get your graduation certificate, use the time waiting for the allocation to go back to your hometown, I ask my uncle to choose a good girl's daughter for you to be a daughter-in-law, then in the future, I don't care about your boy's affairs."

"Good! I'll tell Ah Zhi tomorrow that we'll do pen pals after she graduates from college, and before that, we'll cut off contact for the time being. As for the matter of marrying a wife, there is no urgency now, it is still important to have a career, and the matter of the succession of the Zhang family will be handed over to the younger brother. ”

Zhang Haihuan immediately changed his attitude, for a career officer who is bent on pursuing his career, it is indeed too early to start a family, Zhang Haihuan would rather continue to maintain this peaceful single life.

"Good! You're a kid enough to plant! would rather cut off contact with pen pals than marry a daughter-in-law to the old Zhang family. No wonder the president told me that you, like that kid from Kaiwen, are free and loose guys. ”

Zhang Guangyang was a little helpless, so he had to do it, anyway, he completed at least one of his two tasks.

"It's not early, you rest quickly, tomorrow afternoon, I will send an adjutant to pick you up, dress neatly, the president's side, the impression of you is still good, say that you are a talent, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, if the president asks, are you willing to go to the General Staff as an adjutant, you must answer 'no', otherwise, Lao Tzu will be angry when he turns back!" Remember, answer 'no'. ”

After speaking, Zhang Guangyang shook his hand away, walked to the door, kicked open the luggage of the door of the house, stretched out his hand to open the door, looked at the deadbolt that didn't stick out at all, sneered, and glanced at Zhang Haihuan before walking out.

"Boy, play this game with Lao Tzu, you are still a little tender!"

After Zhang Guangyang threw the door away, he walked not far away, looked back, and saw that a crack in the door of the room was immediately closed.

"Stinky boy, it's the same temper as Lao Tzu back then, this naval family is considered to have a successor, and Lao Tzu is relieved." v
