For many veterans, the experience of life in the military will be remembered for a lifetime. If there is a chance to return to the old army, I am afraid that many soldiers will feel like returning to their parents' home. In the eyes of these veterans, the army may be their second home.

Compared with Xu Haibao's retirement from the base for less than a year, the rest of the salvage team members have been retired for a long time. But these team members, without exception, have left the best youth of their lives here.

After some of the team members retired, they all had the idea of going back to the base to have a look. It's just that they know better that the army is not a school, and it is more difficult to go back to the old army to visit. What's more, the level of secrecy at the base is quite high.

This time, with the help of Xu Haibao's relationship, it was rare for the team members to return to the base, looking at the barracks they lived in in their early years and the training ground they had been fighting in, everyone felt very cordial. The most important thing is that there are some old comrades-in-arms who know each other.

When Xu Haibao handed over the things that he had specially brought to the senior navy who came to the meeting, the vice admiral also said seriously: "Xiao Xu, on behalf of the navy, I would like to express my gratitude for your contribution, and I also hope that you can continue to support and care for the old troops in the future." ”

"Please rest assured, I told the base commander earlier that I was a soldier who walked out of the base. Even though I took off my uniform, I still remember the navy blue I once wore. As long as I can help, I will do my best!"

With such a promise, the top of the Navy was also delighted. Zhu Xun was ordered to prepare a helicopter gunship, send a special operations detachment and another helicopter, and escort the submarine overnight to transport away the submarine's black box.

Although this is a great gift from Xu Haibao to the Navy, things are sent out from the base, and naturally a credit from the base is indispensable. It can be said that with Xu Haibao's relationship, the base will also receive more attention from the top.

This concern may become a priority in the future for applications for funding and equipment. For Zhu Xun, the head of the base, it is also a benefit that is difficult to find with a lantern. Perhaps, as Tian Haoming said, having Xu Haibao's 'mother's family' is the luck of the base!

When Zhu Xun took Xu Haibao to the base canteen, looking at the scene where the drink had been opened, many base officers and soldiers who heard the news came. Most of the old comrades-in-arms of the salvage team were full of joy.

It is normal for old comrades-in-arms to reunite and drink two more glasses. Seeing Zhu Xun walking into the cafeteria, Liu Guorong also quickly said: "Stand up!"

Zhu Xun, who watched this scene, also said in a timely manner: "Okay, sit down! I know that you are all old comrades-in-arms reunited, and you are all a little excited." But it's not early, so be careful not to make too late.

Another point, alcohol can be drunk, but not drunk, pay attention to the effect. I know, if I stay here, I guess you won't be able to drink well, so I won't stay here to be an eyesore. Things here, Leslie Lau, you keep an eye on it!"

"Yes, Base Chief!"

After Zhu Xun finished speaking, Xu Haibao also called Tang Xingyou and Zhao Ji over and said, "You should all hear the words of the base chief." Due to safety concerns, our salvage vessels cannot dock here for too long.

Before dawn, the ship must be driven to a nearby commercial port to berth. I know that you haven't seen your old comrades for a long time, so I'm going to give you two days off. After the vacation, I immediately went back to my hometown.

Another point to note is that we are all retired soldiers who have gone out of the base, and you all need to keep in mind some of the disciplines and requirements of the base. What you can say and what you can't say, you must also know in your heart. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you later!"

"Rudder, the matter of salvaging the ship, I will work hard for your shipping team!"

"It's okay! I don't have much time to go back and forth anyway, just take a little rest. ”

"Okay, then you continue to drink, I'll talk to the base chief! If there's anything, call me at any time!"

Zhu Xun, who stayed next to Xu Haibao, naturally heard Xu Haibao's words to the two. Earlier, I was worried that Xu Haibao's salvage team members might affect the normal training of the base. Now it seems that he was worried a little unnecessary.

Even if he has left the base, and even if his identity is very different, Xu Haibao still knows that the base is a confidential unit. Although it is a unit, the base is different from ordinary naval units, and it is not easy to let the salvage team in.

But there are some things that Zhu Xun is not easy to say, he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, not to mention that the top brass of the navy didn't say anything before, so Zhu Xun is naturally even more difficult to say. Now Xu Haibao took the initiative to confess, which made Zhu Xun feel that Xu Haibao would be a man even more.

Before leaving the cafeteria, Xu Haibao didn't forget to bring a glass of wine, and said to several diving group officers who came to gather with his comrades: "Captain, old commanders, I'm going to go to the base commander later, I'm afraid I won't have time to drink with you tonight."

Wait for tomorrow to find a time, and we'll have another drink. Also, if you don't object, I'd like to go to the diving team. It's rare to go back to the old army, and I still quite believe in those guys. I don't know when I think about it next time!"

"Okay, you're busy beforehand, I'll be waiting for you at the brigade station tomorrow!"

It is clear that the soldier in front of him is no longer the first-class non-commissioned officer of the diving brigade back then. The base commander still has to give some face in front of him, and as the captain, he will naturally not refuse to have more contact with Xu Haibao.

To put it simply, if you really want to talk about your mother's family at the base, the diving brigade is Xu Haibao's mother's family!

"Lao You, you can also take it easy, you can drink, don't get drunk!"

"Don't worry, we have it in our hearts!"

Leaving the cafeteria and coming to the base office building, in addition to the base leader, all the other members of the base team were also present. For Xu Haibao, a veteran of the base, the leaders of the base are not very unfamiliar.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Haibao also smiled and said, "Base Chief, because I came back in a hurry, I didn't prepare any gifts. If you don't dislike the old leaders, how about I make you a pot of tea?"

Listening to Xu Haibao's words, Zhu Xun's eyes immediately lit up and said, "It's the kind of tea I drank at your house?"

"Yes! I went to sea this time, and I also brought a little tea! However, the amount is not much, and the leaders will taste it slowly. ”

From Zhu Xun's slightly expectant expression, everyone could see that Xu Haibao's tea should not be simple. Wait until Xu Haibao takes out a tea box from his handbag, pours out some tea leaves from it and puts it in the teapot.

With the tea utensils in the living room, Xu Haibao is also very familiar with making tea for everyone. It seems that the level of this tea brewing is not too superb. Just wait until the tea is brewed and poured into the teacup, and these leaders feel that the tea is overflowing.

The political commissar of the base even said quickly: "I have been listening to Lao Zhu say earlier, the tea you brew is endlessly memorable. It seems that today, we can also feast our mouths and taste this cup of excellent tea you brewed!"

It's just that this kind of tea, except for me, I'm afraid it's hard to drink in other places. In the future, if the political commissar has time, he may wish to stay in my hometown resort for two days. When we have time, we will take our tea slowly!"

"Okay! It seems that before I go next time, I have to find your time in my hometown, otherwise I will suffer too much!"

After some laughter and conversation, everyone also began to taste tea. To everyone's surprise, the tea brewed by Xu Haibao was indeed a little different from the tea they used to drink. Only Tian Haoming, who was accompanying him, knew why this tea was so different.

After drinking tea, Zhu Xun also said in a timely manner: "Haibao, I heard that you plan to invest in an island on the side of Qiongya for development?"

"Yes! This matter is being negotiated! Specifically, the island is not for tourism development. My idea is to turn that uninhabited desert island into a station and supply base for the company.

The director of the base should know that my hometown is engaged in tourism development, which is no longer suitable for the salvage team to go to sea for trial training. If you build your company on that island, you can avoid the attention of others. In our line of work, we have to keep a low profile.

In fact, another reason why I wanted to rent the island to build the company's premises was to use it as a training and training center for the company's reserve players. I should order a few more ships at a later stage.

In addition to the addition of salvage ships, at least one supply ship will be added. In that case, the fleet would not have to call at the ports of various countries to replenish its supplies. Even if you want to resupply, just let the supply ship dock to resupply. ”

As Xu Haibao said these words, a leader of the base was also shocked: "Hey, add a salvage ship and a supply ship, then it is no different from a small fleet." What a big deal!"

In fact, some large foreign salvage companies basically have their own special supply ships and escort ships. If we had our own supply ships and escort ships this time, we wouldn't have been bullied like that. ”

If Xu Haibao said these words earlier, everyone might not believe it. However, if the amount of gold that was previously transported from the salvage ship was converted into RMB, the amount would be scared to death.

Build a few more commercial ships, and there will be no problem with funding. What's more, with a strange person like Xu Haibao as the boss, I believe that Xu Haibao's company will go to sea in the future, and it should salvage more shipwreck treasures.

"So won't your company need more employees in the future?"

"It should be! I chose to set up a base on the Qiongya side, more to deter those overseas salvage companies. If they dare to cross the border to steal shipwrecks, I don't mind teaching them a lesson in whose territory the South China Sea is.

Regarding the matter of renting an island, I also mentioned it to General Feng earlier. If I can give more discounts, I can also give the Navy some training and recuperation places in the training center to be built at the base in the future.

Another intention of expanding the salvage team is also to go overseas more often. There are some things that we can't find on our domestic islands, and maybe there will be something to be gained on uninhabited desert islands abroad. For me, there are things more attractive than treasures!"

This may sound a little arrogant, but knowing Xu Haibao's true identity, Zhu Xun and others also know that Xu Haibao is indeed not worried about money. The harvest of going to sea alone is enough for Xu Haibao to eat and wear for a lifetime.

But money is a thing, and when it reaches a certain amount, it may become a bunch of numbers. For a monk like Xu Haibao, it is not said that money is treated like dung. But there are some natural treasures that are indeed more important than money in his eyes!
