Chen Yun and Wu Tong found Chang Haizhou and expressed their willingness to retire.

Chang Haizhou then remembered that according to the arrangement, the two of them should have retired from the army before the Spring Festival, but it was Li Hai who insisted on keeping them. There was a task of alert patrol on duty during the Spring Festival, so delaying the discharge met the requirements.

Everyone thought they had given up on retiring from the army, but they never expected that they would never change their original intentions.

"Is the physical training too intense? I'll talk to the captain and at least treat lesbians differently." Chang Haizhou asked them to sit down and said.

The political commissar was not at home, so Li Hai went to the ship's headquarters to report on his work, and everything big and small fell on him.

Wu Tong said, "No, no, Deputy Chang, we can do what the male soldiers can do. There is no such thing as being unable to handle physical training. The main thing is that we want to go home..."

Chen Yun nodded.

Chang Haizhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it about finding a partner?"

Wu Tong and Chen Yun looked a little embarrassed and replied, "Yes."

Chang Haizhou sighed and said, "Yes, you spend most of the year at sea, and personal issues have become a big problem. Logically speaking, your service years are up, and there are actual circumstances, the organization should handle the discharge procedures for you."

He changed the topic and said helplessly, "But the captain has specifically explained the matter about you two. He will do everything possible to win you to stay. The captain mentioned several times at the party committee meeting that talents are rare and you are female soldiers in combat positions.

As a typical representative of China, the organization very much hopes that you can continue to stay."

When Chen Yun wanted to speak, Chang Haizhou shook his head and waved his hands, "I still respect your personal wishes, but I have no say in this matter. The captain is on a business trip. I will report to him when he comes back. In the past few days,

Wait a little longer?"

Chen Yun and Wu Tong looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes."

After the two left, Chang Haizhou worked for a while, feeling uneasy. He thought about it and looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work, so he picked up the phone and called Li Hai's work mobile phone.

passed.

At this time, Li Hai, who was far away in Nangang, had just walked down from the ship's control building when Chang Haizhou's call came. He stood in front of the building to answer the phone.

When Chang Haizhou finished talking about Chen Yun and Wu Tong, Li Hai slapped his forehead and said regretfully, "I forgot about this matter. I should seize the time to talk to them when I come back. Blame me. Blame me."

, I just finished a meeting, and the situation has changed. A new batch of escort formations will set off tomorrow. The commander of the ship company asked me to stay for another day to attend the farewell ceremony. There are many things at home, and the chief of the ship company insisted on asking me to attend the farewell ceremony. This is not right.

, I guess the ship commander seems to have new arrangements for our ship."

Chang Haizhou was stunned and said, "We have at least three months of rest and recuperation. Can't we arrange to go to sea?"

For an old ship, the intensity of use of the No. 53 ship is simply ridiculously high. At the end of the year, the No. 53 ship will celebrate its 20th birthday and is not far away from being decommissioned. The design life is 30 years, and it has been pushed ahead of schedule.

Retirement, you can imagine how intense it is.

Li Hai said, "I don't know. I haven't revealed anything yet. You just have to know this in your mind. It's time for the few people from Gu Xiaohui who are on vacation to return to the team. We have an advance plan here to make preparations."

During the previous Spring Festival combat readiness patrol, Li Hai was almost punished because he approved family leave for Gu Xiaohui and several others, which almost affected the work of two important departments, the main gun squad and the engine room.

Chang Haizhou said, "I understand, I will implement it right away."

"The relationship between Chen Yun and Wu Tong is coming to an end. Ask them what kind of partner they want to find, and I will arrange a blind date for them tonight," Li Hai said.

Chang Haizhou couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Li Hai really wanted to be the matchmaker. He was a young man after all. He didn't know how thankless the role of a matchmaker was. He thought for a while and said tactfully, "I will report to the political commissar and ask the political commissar to

Go talk to them?"

"Yeah... that's okay." Li Hai agreed after thinking that the political commissar was in charge of life and that he was the oldest. His eldest daughter was in college and he had more experience discussing this matter with lesbians.

Chang Haizhou asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Hai said, "Let's digest it internally first. There are many tall and handsome young men in the military band. They are tall and handsome and work relatively leisurely. There must be someone suitable for them, right?"

Chang Haizhou couldn't help complaining, "Others must appreciate it!"

"Are you kidding? It's a blessing for two outstanding lesbians like me to like them." Li Hai said matter-of-factly.

Chang Haizhou was startled. He realized that using this kind of overbearing thought as a matchmaker, Li Hai could easily create a "forced melon". Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Hai say, "Let's do this for now. I'll die."

."

Not far away, two chiefs stood there, and the major general waved to Li Hai. It was Gao Changming, the deputy chief of staff of the ship division, who was the chief of duty during the Spring Festival.

It was when Li Hai saw Gao Changming waving that he hurriedly ended the call with Chang Haizhou. He quickly ran over and stood at attention to salute.

Gao Changming and the colonel smiled in return.

Li Hai didn't know the colonel. Judging from his appearance, the colonel should be in his forties, with a dark face and a medium build. He was half a head shorter than Li Hai, who was 1.78 meters tall.

"Let's meet each other. This is Zhao Yunlong, the captain of Blackfish 11." Gao Changming introduced with a smile.

Li Hai's eyes widened, he stretched out his hands and said in surprise, "So you are Captain Zhao Yunlong!"

Zhao Yunlong smiled and shook hands with Li Hai, "Captain Li, I have long admired your name."

"No, no, I have long admired your name." Li Hai said hurriedly.

Zhao Yunlong waved his hand and said, "We have dealt with each other several times, but this is the first time we have met. Am I remembering correctly?"

"Yes, yes, when I was working at Musha Reef, we had several collaborative operations with you," Li Hai said.

At first, Zhao Yunlong was still driving a conventional submarine, but now he is commanding the captain of a nuclear-powered attack submarine with powerful attack capabilities. In fact, he is not yet forty years old, but the long years of underwater work have accelerated the aging of his body, and he looks as good as four or five years old.

It's the same as ten years old. You can't see the sun all year round underwater, and your work and rest are also disordered, which is more harmful to people's bodies.

This is also the main reason why submariners are treated the best.

Among the military food standards, the submarine stove is the highest, even higher than the air service stove. In the past, the equipment was backward, and the meals after going to sea were unsatisfactory. No matter how high the standard was, it was in vain. I could only feed myself desperately after returning to port. Later, as the equipment

With the continuous upgrading of submarines, the working environment of submariners has been greatly improved, and only then can they barely meet the prescribed food standards.

"Come on, let's eat and chat in the canteen. Let's take advantage of Yunlong and have a submarine meal today." Gao Changming smiled and motioned for the two of them to go towards the canteen.

Li Hai immediately knew that Zhao Yunlong would stay for many days this time, otherwise he would not have changed the food relationship. Would he have to take up a temporary position in the ship's company?

Of course Gao Changming was joking. He was a major general and didn't want anything to eat. However, he always ate with the officers and soldiers. Today was special. He asked the canteen to turn on a small stove and ate in the private room just for the three of them. Obviously not only

Eating is so simple.

After eating half full, Zhao Yunlong said, "I had been watching the Discomfort for two days at that time. I never imagined that you were carrying out a mission in the western Sulawei Sea."

"I didn't know about the actions of Blackfish No. 11 at that time. I was still confused. The Discomfort conducted several submarine searches in succession. Later I found out that they were targeting the Great Wall No. 101. The result was that it caused trouble for you." Li Hai

explain.

Zhao Yunlong smiled and said, "I thought I was exposed at the time. It can be said that there was no danger."

He became serious, looked at Gao Changming, and said, "This incident exposed the shortcomings of the lack of communication between our different combat units. Taking advantage of this opportunity to participate in training, I made some suggestions to the ship commander."

Gao Changming said helplessly, "Yes, the fleet chief attaches great importance to it and has decided to hold a meeting to study it. I believe a report will be submitted to the superior soon."

The commander of the nuclear submarine force is in the Supreme Command, and some operations are not even known in the theater, let alone the fleet. The fleet can do nothing but organize and report the situation.

"It is imperative to incorporate into a unified command system." Li Haidao.

Another young cadre would probably not dare to express his views in front of the chief. Li Hai is different. As a cross-border cadre, his status is relatively aloof.

However, he could only say so much.

Obviously, Gao Changming was definitely not looking for him because of the matter he was discussing. Even meeting Zhao Yunlong might be a incidental matter.

Sure enough, after dinner, Zhao Yunlong said goodbye and left. He had to attend a training class discussion in the evening. It was a training class for learning and implementing the spirit of the party's conference. This training class was aimed at division-level leading cadres. Li

Hai is not qualified to participate yet.

Li Hai and Gao Changming arrived at the office in the government building to talk about business.

Gao Changming made tea for Li Hai and sat together in the reception area. It was obvious that he wanted to dilute the boundaries between superiors and subordinates. Li Hai complained in his heart. The next thing to talk about was probably related to the ship No. 53 going on another mission.

, of course he personally likes to go to sea, but as the captain, he has to consider the actual situation of all officers and soldiers, and the comrades are very tired.

"Comrade Li Hai, I have been ordered by my superiors to report some information to you," Gao Changming said.

Li Hai sat upright.

"Sit back and relax." Gao Changming gestured to Li Hai to drink tea and said slowly, "I'm afraid you don't understand the sudden transfer to a surface ship. This time, the leader has entrusted me to give you a briefing on the situation."

He said, "Xiao Li, Haisi has included you in the training sequence of the new generation of aircraft carrier combat commanders. You are the best among the first batch of growth class students. You have rich practical combat experience and the way of fighting foreign armies."

I understand better, these are the reasons for your selection."

After these days, Li Hai finally let go of the stone in his heart.

Gao Changming smiled and said, "Are you relaxed now?"

"I'm relieved, thank you to the chief, thank you to the organization." Li Hai grinned.

Gao Changming said, "Okay, let me tell you the second thing."

Seeing Gao Changming's face become serious, Li Hai straightened his back immediately.

Gao Changming picked up the folder on the coffee table and handed it to Li Hai, saying, "You should take a look at this information first."

Li Hai opened it and looked at it, his brows slowly wrinkled and his expression became more and more serious.

This is an intelligence analysis report on the latest situation in the Middle East. The conclusion is that the situation in a certain country in the region is likely to collapse, and the forces of extremist terrorist organizations will take full initiative.

With a large number of Chinese-owned enterprises, the lives and safety of Chinese compatriots will be seriously threatened.

Li Hai closed the report and said, "Chief, Ship No. 53 can set off at any time!"

"Okay." Gao Changming said solemnly, "Our ship has a radish and a pit. Currently, the only one we can use is the No. 53 ship. According to the arrangement, you should take a rest for a quarter and do not arrange any offshore operations during this period.
