After understanding the whole story, Chang Haizhou sighed with emotion.
A simple combat readiness patrol plus support for the Haite detachment to perform actual combat training missions during the Spring Festival is not the first time or twice. However, the process this time is something that has not been encountered in the past ten years or so.
The reason is because of the thing in the hands of Haite's team.
It goes without saying how important that thing is.
What on earth is it?
Chen Meng didn't say, Li Hai didn't ask, and Chang Haizhou certainly wouldn't ask Li Hai.
You should never ask questions that you shouldn't ask.
Chang Haizhou suddenly frowned and asked, "That's not right. Since that thing is so important, why would Great Wall 101 use itself as bait to lure out an unknown advanced submarine? It's too risky."
"Because it is so important, Wu Hai has to take risks. If the unknown advanced submarine is not dealt with as soon as possible, the situation will be even more serious." Li Hai thought about this problem, and Chen Meng reported the situation at that time, which was indeed the case.
Chang Haizhou understood that Wu Hai had no choice.
Li Hai suddenly asked, "Do you know Suludong?"
"He? A star captain. He was among the first batch of escorts. He was the deputy gunner at the time." Chang Haizhou said.
Su Ludong is several years younger than Chang Haizhou, but his rank is the same as Chang Haizhou's, and his position is also higher than Chang Haizhou's. There are not many cutting-edge frigate captains in their early thirties in the entire army.
"This man has a straight temper and a bit of a backbone. You don't have to worry, he is capable," Chang Haizhou said.
Li Hai said bluntly, "I don't doubt his ability, but I am afraid of his outspoken temper. Once he finds out that Great Wall No. 10 has lost contact, I am afraid that he will lose his temper."
When the scope of knowledge is limited to Li Hai and Chang Haizhou, it is difficult to give Su Ludong a reasonable explanation. According to his character, if he persists in holding on, things will be quite troublesome.
Chang Haizhou felt a little embarrassed and said, "We are not in the same detachment, and I have only met him a few times. I'm afraid you can only suppress him as the commander of the task force."
"He is a star captain, very capable, and a wise man. He should not hold on to these things at critical moments." After thinking about it, Chang Haizhou added.
Li Hai shook his head and said, "That's what I'm afraid of. We can tell something is wrong with various abnormal behaviors, and he can too. Great Wall No. 101 has lost contact. If he guesses that there is something important on it, I think he will
how to do?"
Chang Haizhou shuddered and his expression became solemn, "With his temper, I'm afraid he will disobey your order and search for Great Wall No. 101."
"This is what I'm most worried about." Li Hai sighed lightly.
Li Hai took out a rare cigarette, lit one, and handed the cigarette and lighter to Chang Haizhou. Chang Haizhou knew that Li Hai really had a headache.
Chang Haizhou and several department heads were smokers. At first, they were wary of Li Hai and rarely smoked in front of him. Later, they found out that Li Hai didn't mind and let him go. Sometimes Li Hai would light one for defense. In his words,
It's better than second-hand smoke.
But Li Hai never took the initiative to smoke.
It can be seen that he really has a headache now.
After smoking half a cigarette, Li Hai fell into deep thought. His eyes moved from being still to slowly moving, as if he was paying attention.
"Did New Youth carry an interview team on board the ship?" Li Hai suddenly asked.
Chang Haizhou didn't know what was going on and shook his head, "That's not clear."
"It was mentioned in the situation briefing that, yes, there is a ship-based interview team, a military newspaper." Li Hai completed his idea and said after careful consideration, "Let Suludong use a ship-borne helicopter to send the ship-based interview team over. The reason is
Our ship has a lot of materials that can be mined, and at the same time, our ship is located further forward."
Chang Haizhou was confused, "This is..."
The fraught time is coming soon. At this time, I still have time to worry about digging out news interview materials. Could it be that I have made a mistake and it turns out that Li Hai is a person who is greedy for fame and wealth?
Li Hai blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "Su Ludong may not take me as a trainee captain seriously, but do you think he dares to disobey orders in front of the military newspaper interview team on board the ship?"
Like a bolt of lightning hitting his head, Chang Haizhou understood instantly. He subconsciously leaned back and gave Li Hai a thumbs up in surprise, "High!"
If the on-board interview team is on board the New Youth, Su Ludong has many ways to keep them from knowing the affairs of superior and subordinate commands. But if the on-board interview team is transferred to the No. 53 ship, what should the on-board interview team interview and record?
, I can’t help him, Su Ludong...
"I will contact Suludong now. I suggest adding another reason to request carrier-based helicopters to strengthen our ships. We do need carrier-based helicopters." Chang Haizhou said by analogy.
Li Hai agreed and said, "I agree, and Su Ludong will definitely agree."
The result is of course.
As soon as he received the order from the No. 53 ship to be strengthened by ship-based helicopters, Su Ludong agreed without thinking. He would never hold back what he could help. Chang Haizhou hoped to invite the new youth to be interviewed by the military newspaper.
The team came over to interview the sailors, and Su Ludong fully understood this request.
Ship No. 53 has just fought a tough battle. Such deeds deserve to be well documented, especially by the sailors on the front line.
Of course, Su Ludong inevitably felt that the leadership team of the No. 53 ship was a little impatient to show their faces. There was nothing wrong with taking the initiative, but doing so now seemed a bit indifferent to the occasion.
It was just a thought in my heart.
Not long after, New Youth's ship-borne helicopter arrived carrying the ship's interview team, and Li Hai personally went to the flight deck to greet them.
The carrier-based helicopter used by New Youth is the domestically improved Z-9 naval version. It is much more advanced than the original Old Dolphin used by the No. 53 ship, and the body is also updated. However, because the hangar can no longer accommodate this aircraft,
The Z-9 can only be parked on the flight deck.
When Li Hai strode forward to greet him, he saw clearly the female reporter coming down from the crew cabin, and blurted out in surprise, "Zhuang Xiaoying?"
Isn’t the female reporter wearing black tactical pants and a military green long-sleeved top the same CCTV military reporter Zhuang Xiaoying with whom she has had many acquaintances?
"You...?" Zhuang Xiaoying was also extremely surprised, smiling so much that she showed eight teeth.
"Li Hai, why are you here?" Zhuang Xiaoying took two quick steps to the front.
After Li Hai welcomed the two cameramen, he said to Zhuang Xiaoying and others, "Welcome aboard, you three, please come this way."
After inviting the three of them to sit down in the officers' mess, they began to explain each other's doubts.
Li Hai said, "Three of you, this is our deputy captain, Comrade Chang Haizhou, and this is the electromechanical squad leader, Comrade Wu Tong."
After getting to know each other, Li Hai said, "I have been transferred here to work. What about you? Are you not from CCTV? Why did you come to the military newspaper?"
"I have also been transferred." Zhuang Xiaoying looked at Li Hai with burning eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she did not continue.
Chang Haizhou was a visitor, and he said, "It turns out that Reporter Zhuang and our captain are old friends. You two, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the situation and settle down first. Xiao Wu, you go and clean up Reporter Zhuang's cabin."
"Reporter Zhuang lives in the captain's cabin. Xiao Wu, go and pack my things to the bridge." Li Hai said.
This is the time to live on the bridge.
After the others left, the two of them felt like they were reunited as old friends.
Speaking of which, the two of them have experienced hardships together. They flew out to sea together, encountered extremely bad weather and almost couldn't come back. Later, they met many times, and they were quite destined.
All in all, since Li Hai graduated, the woman he has had the most contact with is Zhuang Xiaoying, more than his girlfriend Lin Li.
"You say it first or should I say it first?" Li Hai said with a smile, looking at Zhuang Xiaoying's little fangs, he had not felt so good in the past few days.
Zhuang Xiaoying smiled and said, "Let me tell you first. I like to be a military reporter, and there happened to be an opportunity for job exchange, so I applied to the Military News. Later, I was officially transferred to the Integrated Media Center of the Military News. I am now a regular
Civil servants of Erba Jing.”
Then you are part of the army.
Li Hai knew that Zhuang Xiaoying, a civilian employee, was different from other civilian employees. She was originally a CCTV reporter, which unit was CCTV, or a national television station. Zhuang Xiaoying was admitted through the national civil service examination, which was much more difficult to recruit civilian employees than military newspapers.
.And CCTV’s personnel work is under the control of the Central Propaganda Department, which is at a higher level.
If the Military News Media Center wanted to recruit Zhuang Xiaoying, special recruitment alone would not be enough. It must have given her a higher rank and better treatment.
Of course, Zhuang Xiaoying obviously didn't do this because she really liked the army.
"What about you? Why did you become the captain? It's so sudden, and you're still here...here..." Zhuang Xiaoying looked at the officers' dining room, which gave her a sense of time travel as she was used to the interior decoration of cutting-edge battleships.
Li Hai simply explained, "It's hard to describe in one sentence, but it's not that complicated to say. You can do whatever the organization asks you to do. I was surprised at the time, but now I'm used to it and find it interesting."
At least it is difficult for a fighter pilot to have such a chance of a modern naval confrontation at close range with bayonets in sight. He, Li Hai, is obviously the only one among the flying shark pilots.
"I did a good job conducting actual combat test flights in the northwest. The moment of temporary transfer has arrived. The next step is to return to the original unit and continue to fly my Flying Shark fighter. I didn't expect that when the transfer order came out, I didn't even have time to say hello.
So I was 'assigned' to Wuya and became the trainee captain of this old-fashioned frigate. The captain was hospitalized for surgery, and it happened that our ship was going to carry out the Spring Festival combat readiness patrol duty, so I was put on the shelf as an agent ship.
long."
…
Li Hai told everything he could and did not hide anything from Zhuang Xiaoying. Zhuang Xiaoying also talked about her work and life in recent times. In the past half a year, she had traveled all over the mountains and seas in the snow on the plateau, and her small body was actually so big
Li Hai admired such strong perseverance.
In fact, Li Hai was surprised to find that this girl had almost no life, or for her, this was the integration of life and work that she expected.
Li Hai joked, "How did I find out that you follow me wherever I go like a follower?"
Zhuang Xiaoying retorted angrily, "You are the one. I was obviously accompanying the ship to interview New Youth and Captain Suludong. It was you who invited me here!"
