Shinego subsequently received a formal commission during his naval career. Chen is known as "Yuteji". He is the captain of the spy boat. Yu is a ton-class two-masted ship. It was originally brought by Zhu Cailao's remnants when they defected. After being modified, it was used as a spy boat.
In this time and space, the navy obtained various Chinese sailing ships of different sizes from the 19th century. Especially after taking in the remnants of Zhu Cai Lao and other small groups of defeated pirates, the number of ships in the entire Lingao Navy increased. Many, many smaller ships have been classified as "special agents" after appropriate targeted modifications. They are used to undertake various miscellaneous tasks and are even used for fishing. They are also classified by the Ministry of Maritime Power. One of the important tasks.
"You go back to the ship immediately to go through the handover procedures. You will be given three days of leave starting tomorrow. After the holiday is over, go to the shipyard to receive equipment, personnel and ammunition. Be ready to sail." Chen Haiyang gave him a direct order.
Ruan Xiaowu came out of the cabin like a cloud with a document bag in hand. His head was dizzy. He subconsciously touched the officer's shoulder straps he had just put on. He touched the officer's sword in his waist, then looked at the assignment order in his hand, and an uncontrollable joy surged from his heart. He is already a naval officer, and has also become the captain of a naval battleship. Compared with the rank of ensign, does the captain's position hold more weight in his mind?
You have to tell your brothers immediately so that everyone can celebrate. Ruan Xiaowu thought that he had not gotten together with his brothers for several months. The three brothers were all serving in the navy, but in different units. Except for the occasional encounter at the dock, they had almost no time to meet.
However, as soon as he came out of the cabin, he met the busty foreign woman who had just taken the photo. She spoke in a strange "Newspeak" accent and insisted that he pose for a few more photos. Ruan Xiaowu had no choice but to make a few stiff postures in cooperation. The woman seemed dissatisfied and kept asking him to "relax and be natural"
After finally taking the photos, the foreign woman asked for an "interview". Ruan Xiaowu didn't know what an interview was. The woman explained that she just asked him a few questions. Ruan Xiaowu immediately said that if he asked a question, he would have to approve the answer before he could answer it, otherwise the secret would be leaked if things went wrong.
"I won't leak the secret. I'm a reporter from Lingao Times. I have the right to interview." She took out a piece of paper from her chest.
Ruan Xiaowu hesitated for a moment before taking the warm piece of paper. It was a letter of introduction from Lingao Times, stamped with an official seal. At the back are Chen Haiyang's instructions: "Agree" and a blue navy seal.
"Okay, you ask." Wa Xiaowu said.
"Don't be nervous, relax." Pan Pan said, taking out a notebook, "I'll just ask you some daily topics."
The interview lasted for thirty minutes and asked many questions that were incomprehensible to Ruan Xiaowu, including what he likes to eat, what colors he likes, and what his views are on killing people as a soldier. Ruan Xiaowu could not think of these questions for the newspaper. What's the use? When asked about his life experience and how he joined the navy, Ruan Xiaowu's eyes turned red.
The tragic family history of Ruan Xiaowu is nothing new to Chinese people of any era - even though stories like this have happened countless times from generation to generation, for people like Pan Pan, it is still Very shocking effect.
"If Chief Australia hadn't saved our brothers, our whole family would have died long ago, and even the bodies would have been eaten by wild dogs." Ruan Xiaowu looked a little excited. "Not only did he save our lives, but he also gave us food, drink, clothes, and taught us how to read and write. Now that I have become a naval officer, I cannot repay such a kindness even if I die."
Pan Pan's expression was a bit complicated. She didn't think there was any falsehood in Ruan Xiaowu's words. This kind of inner gratitude was definitely not pretended, but deep down she had doubts about such gratitude. In her opinion, Later, this kind of gratitude will destroy a person's ability to think independently and make him a blind follower who crosses the group.
Although Pan Pan followed Ding Ding to this time and space without hesitation for love and adventure, she was advocating introduction after all. People who grew up in the free European and American societies are imbued with this concept from the inside out, and they are involved in various actions of the cross-travel group. It also includes Tintin's words and actions that are exposed in front of her from time to time. She often has a dangerous premonition in her heart that this new world that is about to be built by modern people through cheating methods is not what she imagined.
"Have you never thought about what you really want to do?" Pan Pan asked.
Ruan Xiaowu looked at her with a strange look and thought this was strange. As for what to do, of course it would be best to be a rich man and be waited on for food, drink and fun every day. But a child from a poor and scumbag family like him would be lucky if he didn't starve to death when he was a child and didn't drown when he grew up. Now that he is in such a situation, it is no different from being a human being again. What else can he really think about? Done. Say what you want to do. Of course, as a lieutenant or captain, he would cry and scold his father, and then ask for a wife to have a few children to carry on the family line, but he was embarrassed to say this.
"No more for now," he said.
After the interview, Pan Pan took a few more photos. She also wanted to take a few photos of the Ruan Xiaowu brothers together. Ruan Xiaowu said that this would only happen at night when their brothers get together. Now even he doesn't know where his brother is.
Ruan Xiaowu returned to Linyun No. 7. The cadets and sailors who knew about his promotion came over to congratulate him. The cadets who were also born in the second phase with him looked at the second lieutenant epaulettes and officer epaulets on his shoulders with envy. Sword. Qian Changshui also said many warm words,
"You are a promising kid." Qian Changshui said, "You haven't decided to leave the ship yet. Today's lunch with extra food is a celebration for you. You are always one of our favorites on Linyun No. 7."
So at noon, rum and fish steaks were served to all the sailors on the ship. The captain hosted a banquet for all the cadets in the captain's cabin of the terminal to bid farewell to Ruan Xiaowu. The table was fully equipped with cutlery and pretentious fine white cloth napkins hung around everyone's neck. The orderly waits for meals with a snow-white towel draped over his sleeves.
"One of the bad things about becoming an officer is that you have to pay for your own meals in the future. Qian Changshui stuffed the napkin that slipped from his collar back into his neck for the tenth time. Because it was a farewell party, Qian Changshui paid for it out of his own pocket to take care of the ship's affairs. I went to the navy canteen in Bopu and bought some more food.
Officers have to pay for food. If you want to eat better when you arrive at the base, the navy canteen will provide it within its capabilities, but you will have to pay for it. Ruan Xiaowu used to be like a sailor. What I ate was a portion of rice in a tin lunch box, and what I enjoyed was a supply-based meal that was free of charge. In terms of content, the level of food has far exceeded that of most civilians in this time and space, and also exceeded that of most employees of the Australians. However, compared with the food of officers, the gap is really huge.
The food for cadets and sailors is mainly rice and fried rice noodles. The side dishes are just fish, shrimp and shellfish with a little vegetables or pickles, plus a big pot of tofu and kelp soup. It's different on the captain's table, although the side dishes are mainly seafood. But the method is more sophisticated and there are more varieties. This time Qian Changshui even asked the orderly to buy chicken.
There was also fruit wine on the table, which was drunk by the captains and had recently been distributed in small quantities for sale in the officers' mess. He took this opportunity to drink a glass of fruit wine. He found it sweet and sour, easy to drink, but not strong in taste. The food on the table is served in portions. After each dish is served, the orderly will distribute it to each person's plate before eating.
Because it was a banquet, lunch was more sumptuous than usual: there were three dishes and one soup, and the main dish was fried rice noodles with shrimps, mussels and tomato sauce. Finally tea was brought.
Ruan Xiaowu drank the bitter and fragrant tea according to the naval etiquette learned in the navy petty officer training class. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he could step into the ranks of officers. Such a day had never been imagined in his dreams.
Qian Changshui and the cadets said a lot of compliments at the dinner table. At this stage, the number of indigenous officers in the navy is still very limited. The value of a second lieutenant is very high, not to mention that he became the captain at the first appointment. Qian Changshui didn't think there was anything special about this thin cadet, but now he felt very proud of him. After all, he was from his ship.
After the entertainment, Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly said goodbye, disembarked and returned to the barracks on the shore. He put down his luggage and went out to find his brother. Ruan Xiaowu’s brothers Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi. After Ruan Xiaoer arrived in the navy, because of his outstanding artillery skills, he ended up not boarding the ship. He became a member of the coastal fortress artillery and has been stationed at the Bopu beacon tower. Now he has become a gunner.
As for Ruan Xiaoqi, his artillery skills are not inferior to those of his two brothers, but he is a little younger, only thirteen years old.
After arriving in the navy, he was soon sent to the naval cadet class of the Military and Political School. However, he studied in the kindergarten class. In addition to military training, he also focused on the study of cultural courses. The academic duration is also much longer than that of ordinary classes.
Ruan Xiaowu spent a lot of effort to find his elder brother and younger brother. Ruan Xiaoer happened to be off duty at night, so he could take a few hours off to go out. Ruan Ganqi also took a leave of absence from the military and political school.
The three brothers walked into the cooperative restaurant in Dongmen City together. They have developed a capable and upright military temperament during their service, and they attracted the attention of many people as soon as they entered the restaurant. The three different epaulettes and sleeve strips of the three brothers - a sergeant, an ensign and a cadet - complement each other. Together with Ruan Xiaowu's officer's sword, they became the focus of everyone in the restaurant. The three Ruan brothers were excited, proud and a little embarrassed under the gaze of everyone. The waiter in the restaurant watched their words and let them into the private room. ! ~!
