Chapter 113 113 The RIMPAC military exercise ended
Today is the day when the navies of all countries are still in Hawaii, and I have to say that this wonderful tropical archipelago has a special magic, the girl in the grass skirt, the hot summer day hanging overhead, the snow-white sand beach and the magnificent sea, so that the navy feels that it is definitely not a torment to be stationed in such a place.
The Chinese Navy has been here for five weeks, and from being jerky at the beginning, to gradually becoming familiar, and even many people have fallen in love with this place. Qin Zhizhang listened to his comrades-in-arms say: "When you get rich in the future, bring your parents here for a tour." ”
This kind of thinking was not found in the navy in the past, and the gradually opening up of the social atmosphere and the improving economic situation have caused great changes in their country. Qin Zhizhang remembered that the port of Zhoushan, where his fleet was anchored, was full of slogans of reform and opening up. Although slogans such as "striding forward into the socialist market economy with our heads held high," "improving the people's living standards is the highest pursuit of the party and the state," and "reform and opening up, enriching the country and benefiting the people," and so on seem to be somewhat false and empty, it is no longer difficult to buy grain and household appliances, and more consumer commodities have appeared on the market, and even the wages of the majority of their soldiers have risen by two stubbles in a row.
So some guys feel that the battleships they ride on are better than the gringos, and the food on their ships is better than the gringos, and the armies of our socialist countries are superior to you. One day in the future, I will have the money to travel here, so it doesn't seem to be so difficult to achieve.
The last day was still a holiday for sailors, and the entire town of Pearl Harbor was covered with white uniforms. Including the Chinese sailors, everyone enjoyed the happiest time as much as possible, and the Chinese sailors continued to carry forward the two major strengths of shopping and photography.
A few days ago, both the locals and their peers were curious about them or somewhat repulsed, but today when the sailors walked on the street and met their counterparts from other countries, there would be one or two enthusiastic foreign sailors, slapping them and saying loudly: "Good job, guys!" ”
It's the same in any field – only strength and performance can earn you respect!
At this time, the sailors tend to be proud, not only for their performance in the past day, but also for this glorious collective. It can be said that the Chinese at this time still have a strong sense of honor, and what they do better than foreigners is something worth writing about.
Zhao Wei, a comrade-in-arms beside Qin Zhizhang, muttered excitedly: "If we go back this time, we will definitely be credited, and will we raise our wages again at that time." ”
Qin Zhizhang said with a smile: "I'm afraid the salary will not be raised, but I heard them say that the merit is now awarded as a bonus." ”
"Really? How much money is there, is there a hundred? ”
"Probably more than that."
"It's great, I can buy Xiaoli a new bike when I go back, she says it's tiring to walk to work." Zhao Wei has a girlfriend who is being virgin, and she was introduced by the army.
Qin Zhizhang smiled again and said: "You might as well save a few more money, I saw a kind of battery car sold in a store in Shencheng before, no need to burn oil, no need to pedal, after one day of riding, plug the bolt into the socket, and the next day you can run again." ”
"It's so high-tech, it's going to be expensive, right?" Zhao Wei said worriedly, but he was very moved.
"More than 500 yuan, a little more expensive than some TVs, but you think, a beautiful and labor-saving battery car, how long your girlfriend rides out of the cheek, people will say that you love your girlfriend."
Zhao Wei snorted, thinking that this was indeed the case. He thought about it and said, "Does Hawaii have it, will it be cheaper than in China?" ”
Qin Zhizhang said: "This is a domestic patent, and it is not sold abroad." ”
Zhao Wei nodded and said, "Also, we Chinese are better than them." ”
A group of people were wandering around the streets of Pearl Harbor when someone suddenly called Qin Zhizhang. Qin Zhizhang looked back and saw that it was the Australian sailor he had met before, Denton.
"Qin, congratulations to you and your comrades for your victory and honor!" Denton shook hands with Qin Zhizhang and said.
Qin Zhizhang also responded politely: "The honor belongs to everyone, and you have also won the victory, haven't you?" He was referring to the second confrontation, in which Denton's Darwin was on the same side as the Chinese Navy's ships.
Denton said: "Everyone understands that we are with the right person and have picked up a victory. ”
"I can't say that."
Denton looked at a group of Chinese sailors, smiled, and said, "How about man, how about going to the EM club again?" Now that there are so many of you, I guess no one dares to look for trouble, and besides, you have proven yourself on the battlefield, how about you be ashamed of those brainless guys? ”
With Qin Zhizhang's character, he would not normally agree to this kind of thing. But today he suddenly wanted to see the expressions of those "lost dogs", so he proposed to his comrades: "My friend knows a very good sailor club, the boss is us Chinese, let's not drink, how about feeling the atmosphere?" ”
Some of the boys were naturally worried about breaking discipline, but more of the young sailors were curious about what the bar would be like. In addition, the military order did not allow alcohol, but it did not say that it was not allowed to enter the bar.
So a group of Chinese sailors were dragged into the EM club by Qin Zhizhang and Denton, compared to the last time they entered and were treated coldly as monsters, this time the appearance of Chinese sailors caused cheers.
Several Canadian, Australian, and Japanese sailors patted the Chinese sailors on the shoulders and shouted "good-job", or I don't know where Lu Dao learned Chinese, and said "good, good" around the big tongue and thumbs up!
On the contrary, China's more reserved sailors seemed a little at a loss, but Qin Zhizhang saw a few American sailors and British sailors sitting at a small table not far away, and they were the ones who looked at him unpleasantly a few days ago, and they were all like eating flies at the moment, and they didn't come up to talk.
The Chinese bartender Harry laughed and brought out the soda and said, "on-the-house!" (I'm in for a treat)"
Naturally, Denton didn't drink soda with the Chinese sailors, but held a beer and chatted with Qin Zhizhang: "Seriously, man, you guys are doing a great job, I can't imagine that the Chinese Navy, which I haven't usually heard of, will be so powerful, you should go out and walk around more and kick the butts of a few more dictators." ”
Qin Zhizhang quipped: "In the eyes of some people, our country is also a dictatorship. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Qin Zhizhang smiled again and explained, "It doesn't matter, because what they think is wrong. Our country is also a democracy, but in a different form, a one-party system. Our leadership model is more similar to the committee system, which is collective leadership, no single person occupies the most power, and major issues are resolved through consultation. ”
"Oh, is it? None of this we've heard of before. Denton said as he sipped his beer.
"That's because of the need for publicity, and some people think it makes more sense to demonize us."
Denton said angrily: "They are all people who want to disrupt the peace of the world, saying that everyone sits together, drinks, bubble girls are such a harmonious thing, they have to fight for the hegemony of the world, and the idle eggs hurt." ”
Qin Zhizhang said with a smile: "You're right, I can't agree with you more." ”
————
The sailors were enjoying their worst days in Hawaii, while some of the officers of the PLA Navy were already busy preparing to leave. Several captains and senior officers gathered together, set up a few side dishes, and like the soldiers, there was no wine, which was a small internal celebration.
"Li Chun, you are in the limelight this time, and you will have to be rewarded again after you go back, look at you, you are estimated to be a colonel at the age of thirty, and it is really rare to be promoted as fast as you in peacetime." Fleet Leader Shan Dade said.
Li Chun smiled reservedly and said, "I haven't thought too much about the military rank or anything, it's good to be able to drive a submarine." ”
Shan Dade smiled and said, "Okay, go back and do a good job, and when you are promoted to colonel again, let you go to the nuclear submarine!" ”
Li Chun looked pampered and not shocked, obviously with a very good self-cultivation. He added: "It's just that this time we made a move, and the effect was a little too strong, I'm afraid it exposed too much of our strength, and it's not a good thing." ”
Lu Junfu interjected: "What's there to be afraid of this, don't let others know that we are strong, and will always think that we are easy to bully." Only by daring to show the sword and dare to punch can the enemy throw a mouse and not dare to act rashly against us. ”
Shan Dade smiled: "What Lao Lu said makes sense! ”
At this time, a staff officer of HNA walked in and said to Shan Dade: "The people of the US Marine Corps want to visit our J-8V Skua and take a look at the cockpit or something." ”
Everyone's first reaction was not to leak secrets, but Shan Dade showed a smile and said: "Forget it this time, you told them that our plane needs to rest, and we will transfer back to China when we turn around." The next time we have the opportunity for them to come to China for a return visit, we will find a two-seater for them to fly up and experience it. ”
Li Chun couldn't help but question: "Is this necessary?" ”
"Why not, hehe, there are some calculations in this. This time, eighty percent of the Yankees saw that our J-8V could hit the AV-8 all over the ground, and they were interested. To put it bluntly, the AV-8 is not their product, so why can't we use our better J-8V. We are not afraid to sell to them, they need it, and we still have a lot of conditions behind us to mention. ”
Lu Junfu interjected: "I think that with the unruliness and independence of the US Marine Corps, it will definitely be inclined to better fighters, and there should be hope for the J-8V to be exported to the United States." ”
Li Chun shook his head: "AV-8 has just been changed to AV-8B, and if the Americans want to give up, I'm afraid the British will go crazy, it's hard to say." ”
Shan Dade smiled: "Okay, these have nothing to do with us, our mission is over." Come on, come on, thank you for your efforts with water instead of wine! ”
