Zheng Chiyuan is the commander of the navy, and Daqiang is the commander of the Donghai escort. As the cooperation between the navy and the escort becomes increasingly close, the relationship between the two is getting better and better.
One of the signs of good gay friends is making fun of each other.
Zheng Chiyuan was more or less wearing a nightgown now, while Daqiang just wore shorts and rushed over shirtless.
But he didn't mention it at all and instead made fun of Zheng Chiyuan.
Normally, Zheng Chiyuan would definitely retaliate, but at this time, how could he have the intention to play around with Daqiang?
Ignoring Daqiang's teasing, he grabbed the young escort's clothes and asked, "Where is the Jinchuan?"
"Here!"
The little escort pointed to the north.
The light from the brazier was not as strong as the fireworks. Zheng Chiyuan was old, so he finally used a telescope to see the fire on the sea.
"Are they really the Jinchuan?" Zheng Chiyuan asked.
"It should be," said the old escort: "We have already spoken to the brothers above about the lantern language!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Zheng Chiyuan's beard trembled with excitement.
There are only two large ships in the Navy, and Jinchuan is one of them.
The sailors above are all elites selected from the navy. If they cannot come back, it will be a big loss to the entire navy.
Some time ago, there was no news about the Jinchuan, and Zheng Chiyuan was worried about it.
I originally thought that the Jinchuan would never come back, but suddenly there was news.
"Hurry up, send a speedboat to meet us!"
Zheng Chiyuan shouted to the guards.
"Don't be busy, I've already made arrangements!"
Daqiang pointed downward towards Zheng Chiyuan.
Zheng Chiyuan looked along Daqiang's finger and saw several speedboats slowly sailing out of the dock and heading north.
"Calm down," Daqiang patted Zheng Chiyuan on the shoulder: "I guess it will take a while for them to come back. Let's go down and wait. There are a lot of mosquitoes here!"
Zheng Chiyuan had calmed down at this time and glanced at Daqiang: "It's your turn to teach me to calm down? I don't know who was so angry that he smashed the stool in the last exercise!"
Some time ago, the Escort Division and the Navy conducted a joint exercise. During the exercise, two Escort Division speedboats collided, causing one speedboat to capsize and nearly drowning one person.
Daqiang was so angry that he jumped up and threw the stool under his butt, almost hitting the guard on guard. Jin Feng pointed at his nose and gave him a severe scolding.
"Hahaha, don't mention the past anymore!" Daqiang smiled and pulled Zheng Chiyuan down the ladder to the observation deck.
If something like this happened, they would definitely not be able to sleep, so the two of them went to Daqiang's office together and waited silently for the news.
The speedboat didn't keep them waiting for long. In less than an hour, a strong guard came in with two people.
One of them is the captain of the Jinchuan, served by the navy under Zheng Chiyuan, and the other is the deputy captain, served by the escort.
The captain is responsible for navigation, and the deputy captain is responsible for safety and operations.

"General Zheng! Battalion Commander!"
The two entered the office and each saluted their leader.
"Niu Shuanzi, what happened to you, why did you come back now?"
Daqiang returned the military salute and asked anxiously.
"Battalion Commander, don't mention it. When we came back, the thing we were pulling was too heavy and we were not familiar with the Japanese waters. The Jinchuan hit a rock and made a hole in the bottom of the boat.
Fortunately, the bottom tanks of the Jinchuan designed by Mr. were separated. One of the bottom tanks was damaged, but the other bottom tanks were still intact and the ship would not sink.
But when we stopped the ship for inspection, we were discovered by the Japanese, so they surrounded us.
Fortunately, the first thing we did when we arrived at Japan was to blow up all their warships. Fortunately, the place where we anchored was far away from the coast of Japan, so they could only send fishing boats to fight.
So every time one of their fishing boats came, we bombed one, and we fought like this for more than a month.
Later, we saw that there was no way to continue fighting like this. The day when the kerosene and grenades would eventually run out, we took the initiative and sent an airship to hit their royal city, blow up their palace, and capture a group of their princes and princesses as hostages.
Only then can we defeat them."
The deputy captain of the escort said: "Although the Japanese promised to repair the ship for us, they did not have a dock that could repair the Jinchuan, and we did not dare to let them repair the ship. We could only simply repair the cabin and then reluctantly move forward.
However, after we repaired the cabin, we discovered that the previous impact had loosened the drive shaft of the steam engine, and two pieces of the steel plate used to fix the drive shaft had been broken, rendering the steam engine useless.
We had no choice but to throw away the gold and silver we captured from the Japanese country, use the sail to slowly walk back, and it was not until today that we finally came back.
Battalion Commander, you don’t know, whether it’s our brothers or the navy brothers, when we fought in the Japanese country and were surrounded, no one was afraid, but when we saw the lantern language just now, almost all the brothers cried!"
As he spoke, his eyes became a little red again.
Daqiang usually hates soldiers crying and kicks him every time he sees them, but this time he patted the deputy captain on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brothers are all good!"
"I've been drifting at sea for several months and life has been difficult. Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" Zheng Chiyuan also comforted him.
He is a navy man and often goes to sea. He knows what it feels like to float on the sea.
On the vast sea, all you see is water. After a long time, it will make people feel abandoned by the world.
Not to mention that the Jinchuan is still in a damaged state and may sink at any time.
At this time, one can imagine how much psychological pressure the escorts and sailors are under.
Seeing the lighthouse and encountering the language of the lights, for the bodyguards and sailors on the Jinchuan, it was undoubtedly a narrow escape from death. It would be strange not to be excited.
Although the deputy captain of the escort was a little confused and did not complain or complain, both Daqiang and Zheng Chiyuan could hear the danger and hardship involved from their descriptions.
"No wonder sir has been saying that long voyages are extremely dangerous. It turns out it is really dangerous."
Daqiang sighed: "The Japanese country is only a thousand miles away, and the Jinchuan almost didn't come back. The Taiping has to sail thousands of miles, and I don't know how many dangers it will encounter."
"The Taiping has not returned to Sichuan yet. When they come to the dock to replenish supplies, we must tell them the news."
Zheng Chiyuan said to his men: "Shuichuan, please write a report quickly and describe your experience of going to Japan. I want to report it to the court and Mr. Jin."
"Yes!" The navy captain saluted and agreed.
Da Qiang was impatient and couldn't wait to read the report, so he pulled the deputy captain Niu Shuanzi and asked: "Are there any casualties among the brothers this time?"
Hearing this question, Niu Shuanzi's mood became obviously lowered, and he lowered his head and replied: "Two brothers failed to carry it over and died on the ship."
