But the soldiers all took over the task of wiping the deck, using mops to wipe away the wet water. The entire deck was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of dust or debris. Ruan Xiaowu, as the star officer on duty today, inspected the deck conditions.
He followed the regulations set by Navy General Counsel Chairman Moon. He took off his shoes and walked around the deck wearing a pair of white socks he had just put on that morning.
Sailors know that if he lifts his feet and sees black marks under his white socks, the entire deck will have to be scrubbed again. All ships berthing in the port must meet this standard. This is also Chairman Moon's regulation. Chairman Moon cares about naval construction to the point where the sailors feel "fingered." He has also designed a complete deck cleaning process to meet this standard. For example, when using a mop to mop the deck, he clearly stipulates specific procedures: mopping must be Use two buckets, marked "clean" and "dirty" respectively. Clean the mop strictly in the sewage bucket first and squeeze as much water as possible before entering the clean water bucket to absorb water. The amount should not be too much, and then mop the floor. After towing a few square meters, the sewage bucket is sent to be emptied, the clean water bucket becomes a sewage bucket, and then the new clean water bucket follows, and so on.
As Wang Dabeard once commented drunkenly: "The Navy is a place where farts have rules."
After Ruan Xiaowu walked across the entire deck, his socks were as white as ever. He put on his shoes with satisfaction. Record upper deck conditions in manual. Then it was announced that deck cleaning was complete. The sailors, who had been waiting with buckets, mops and brushes, began to pack away the cleaning tools. Ruan Xiaowu then checked the condition of the deck facilities - as the gunnery commander on the ship, he paid special attention to the weapons and equipment.
Due to the original structure of the ship's hull, all the gun positions of the Linyun 7 are on the deck. The deck is more susceptible to salt spray and sea water, which places high requirements on the maintenance of artillery. The barrel of each gun must be kept clean at all times, and there must be no rust inside or outside the gun body.
He checked the muzzle and barrel of each cannon one by one, and checked whether the ignition port was blocked or corroded. He tested whether the wheels of the cannon truck were rolling hard. I also touched the wheel shaft to see if it had been lubricated according to regulations. After the fish, he checked the condition of the pulleys and ropes fixed to the side of the ship to contain the rear seat of the artillery. As the gunnery officer on the ship, he had to ensure that all weapons were in top condition.
He also tried to see if the rotation and pitch of two newly installed typewriters were flexible. This brand-new weapon had just been installed recently. Ruan Xiaowu had already seen its power when he was a cadet on the patrol boat. With this thing on the ship, the enemy will be massacred if they want to join forces. Even pirates and government troops regard it as the final means of attack. Even the red-haired people are afraid of fire attack ships. There is nothing to be afraid of. Without the strafing of water-type machines, they can control the ship to crash into their own ship. A hundred meters away they They will all be beaten to death.
It's just that this kind of weapon is not very convenient to use. The shooter needs a lot of strength to steady the muzzle of the gun and point it at the target. Most of the people who hit it for the first time will shoot the bullet into the sky or into the ground. Ruan Xiaowu himself practiced for a long time in the study team before he learned the essentials of controlling the muzzle jump. This is then taught to the shooters in the gunnery crew.
After the inspection, the sailors in the gunner's team tied the guns tightly with waterproof covers brushed with tung oil.
He looked at the hourglass and scale hanging next to the helm of the ship building. In half an hour, the captain would come to the deck for inspection. Then it's time to have breakfast.
But last night all the captains here were summoned to the Admiralty in the port for a meeting. Ruan Wu knew that the navy was going to carry out a big mission recently, and the details would probably be announced today.
As for the specific order, Ruan Xiaowu knew nothing, not even the captain. Qian Changshui, the captain of the Linyun 7, was captured by Liu Xiang, the first pirate to defect to the Australians, during a night raid on Bopu. After being screened, he was deemed "reformable" and became a sailor. Later, because of his outstanding performance and hard work, he was recommended to the first phase of the Military and Political School. He became the first batch of indigenous people to be promoted to naval officers, and the first batch to become navy captains. In the past, he only commanded a shabby towing boat, but now he has become the captain of a 200-ton ship, wearing a uniform with officer's sleeves every day. He was pacing up and down the deck majestically, giving orders, which made Ruan Xiaowu envious. He wished he could become the captain someday.
However, this is really a bit wishful thinking. I am only sixteen during the Chinese New Year. Is there anyone who becomes a captain at the age of sixteen? However, he has become a naval cadet with a candidate officer, and is also the gunnery commander of a large ship. He is also one of the best in the second phase of the Navy. What is his future future?" Thinking of this, he grinned. Get up. Qian Changshui came back and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. This behavior that was not in line with military etiquette made Ruan Xiaowu wonder. This Qian Changshui had always been an officer, so when did he become so affectionate?
"Congratulations, kid!" Qian Changshui said, "You're about to
"What?". Ruan Xiaowu's eyes doubled in size. Being a captain? A sixteen-year-old captain?
"Don't open your mouth like you're about to swallow a watermelon." Qian Changshui suddenly became very affectionate towards him, "Let's go to the ship building to talk."
The dizzy Ruan Xiaowu finally came to his senses when he arrived in the captain's cabin on the ship building. Qian Changshui told him: Linyun No. 7 has received the order and will set sail to carry out the mission in another week. And he was promoted to captain and would soon be transferred from Linyun No. 7.
"This is probably a spy ship for you." Qian Changshui said. "It's not big, but at least it's a ship! You are the boss on the ship! You are the only one on the sea to be a captain at such a young age! The order will be sent in a moment. Please tidy up the house quickly. Change clothes. Get ready. Accept your new appointment on the holy ship."
A herald brought him orders to attend the ascension ceremony aboard the holy ship. The Fengchenglun is now called the "holy ship" according to standard "Newspeak". "It is not only a holy place for the crossing group, but also a holy place for the navy. The naval headquarters occupies part of the cabin of the Fengcheng ship. Because of its comfortable facilities, it is known as the "Fengcheng Hotel" and is also called "the dock." "Some people jokingly call it "Lingao Yamato." "
When Yuan Xiaowu was a cadet in the Navy, he went to the "Holy Ship" to observe and learn. The greatness of the holy ship made the three brothers of the Ruan family, who were still military students at the time, so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days. From then on, I became determined to follow the Australians to the end.
As soon as he stepped onto the gangway, a golden foreign woman appeared from the side. He held a dark object pointed at him and made a clicking sound. Ruan Xiaowu already knew that this thing was called a "camera" and was specially used for "photography." They read the "Lingao Times" every day. There are such "photos" from time to time, and they were taken with this method. Ruan Xiaowu no longer hides in fear when he sees the camera, and has also learned to smile in front of the camera.
Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help but blush when he looked at the foreign woman's big breasts swinging under her close-fitting gown. He quickly lowered his head and walked over.
"Look up! Five-year-old captain!" the foreign woman shouted with a loud smile. Some people on deck laughed too. Ruan Xiaowu became even more shy and walked towards the cabin in three steps and two steps at a time.
The ceremony for promotion to military rank was very informal. In the banquet hall of Chenglun City, "Warship March" was playing from the speakers, and more than a hundred naval cadets from the naval cadet class of the Military and Political School lined up in order. The promotion ceremony for the second batch of Navy ensigns is underway. On the rostrum, People's Commissar of the Navy Chen Haiyang, Navy General Advisor Wen Desi and other senior navy officers who traveled through time were sitting.
This is the second batch of Aboriginal promotions to officers in the Navy. In order to establish a sense of honor and enhance loyalty among Aboriginal soldiers, the 6th Navy holds a grand ceremony every time they are promoted to military rank.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. If these lieutenants hadn't died or were not too incompetent, they would all be lieutenant generals and generals twenty years later. This kind of pomp should still be dealt with by Ma Qianqian in order to "enhance our military's power" activities. Always supportive, from spiritual to material.
But this time. He did not attend his Navy promotion ceremony. Because he felt he had attended enough times. The 6th Army attended three of the four times. The Navy also attended an event to expose the high frequency of Qiang men and their tendency to attract criticism.
Chen Haiyang read out the list of ten people who were promoted to second lieutenants one by one. Most of them were first-class seamen from the military and political school, and there were also a few second-class students like Ruan Xiaowu.
The navy ensigns whose names were called came on stage one by one, received the officer certificate from Chen Haiyang, and received the naval officer's dagger from Wen Desi. Although the simple cotton 1st-year-style navy uniform was hung with an officer's dagger, it seemed that It's a bit funny, but the navy officers still insist on awarding this symbolic weapon, because the Army awards command knives when officers are awarded titles, and the Army has them. Of course the navy cannot be left without it.
"Hai Shi Phase 2, Ruan Xiaowu!" Chen Haiyang shouted in his original voice with great enthusiasm, "Vote for the rank of second lieutenant in the Navy! Chairman of the Executive Committee, Wen Desi; People's Commissar of the Navy, Chen Haiyang.
Ruan Xiaowu stood up reflexively, walked up to the podium with trembling steps, saluted and took the officer's certificate from Chen Haiyang.
Then, Wen Desi threw the officer's sword. Look at this new officer who is as thin as a child. Wen Desi knew that he was the youngest person to be promoted to second lieutenant, and such young people would be the backbone of the future imperial navy. No wonder the Propaganda Department is planning to use him as a subject for a large-scale propaganda campaign.
"Congratulations, Wen Desi said.
"Thank you, Chairman Wen!" Ruan Xiaowu was moved to tears when he saw Chairman Wen, who was like a rare god in the hearts of the indigenous people, congratulating him.
For the first time in his life, Wen Desi saw someone burst into tears over his words, and his sense of leadership was greatly satisfied. ! ~!
