After "Gun Regiment 101" completed its berthing, the A-109 light helicopter on the flight deck suddenly took off in the night and flew towards the airport.
This is also a routine operation for sheltering from the wind.
Zhong Guobang greeted Li Hai at the pier. When he saw Li Hai and the two, he came over and asked, "What are you two doing here? Is the wind protection work at the airport completed?"
"Hello, Chief! The report will be completed in the afternoon." Li Hai quickly stood at attention and saluted in reply.
Dang Weimin pointed to the ship and said, "Le Hai's father is the captain of this ship."
Zhong Guobang pointed at Li Hai and said in surprise, "Are you Li Zewen's son?"
"Yes, Chief." Li Hai said with a grin.
Zhong Guobang laughed loudly, "This world is really small. Your kid is actually Li Zewen's son. I did know that he has a son in the Naval Aviation School. It turns out he is you!"
Li Hai smiled stupidly.
"Your father probably doesn't know yet. I'll give him a surprise later. Come on, come with me to pick him up." Zhong Guobang invited them to go to the trestle to greet him.
The crew on the ship were busy and unhurriedly doing the work of wind protection. They were all strong men. Under the high-power searchlight, you could clearly see the compelling heroic spirit between their brows. Li Hai knew that the crew of Gun Tuan Fishing Company was composed of retired military personnel, and a considerable number of them were retired military personnel of the Navy. Recruiting primarily veterans has been a principle the company has established since its inception.
Li Hai's father, Li Zewen, was born in the Army. He changed his career from a regimental-level leadership position to the deputy division level. Now he is receiving retirement pay and serving as the chief captain and navigation manager of the Regiment Fishing Company. It is said that his annual salary is hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand.
Therefore, the Party for the People sometimes said that Li Hai was a rich second generation from a military family, so Li Hai's stinginess was even more "disgusted".
Li Zewen's tutor was very strict. Ever since Li Hai was called into the Naval Aviation Academy and became a student in the growth class, he never gave Li Hai a penny. He also made it clear that he would live his own life in the future and that he wanted to marry a wife and buy a house for himself. Save money.
But you are just poor. How can you save money if you are not stingy?
The entire tuna fishing boat was dusty, and you could vaguely see a lot of shellfish attached to the hull. The paint in some places was mottled. It was obvious that the boat had just experienced a long voyage, and it was very likely that it had passed by. Continuous long-term voyage operations after replenishment.
There are two water cannons on the deck of the ship covered with canvas, which are defensive weapons used against pirates. All offshore fishing vessels of Guntuan Fishing Company are equipped with these things. The tuna fishing boat with the hull number "Gun Tuan 101" not only has water cannons, but also uses water bombs with a vertical launch system. It has strong defense capabilities. In addition, it is a high-horsepower and high-speed ship. Pirates see It will stay far away.
This guy can theoretically catch 2,000 tons of tuna in one net. Calculated at 6,000 yuan per ton, one net is 12 million. If he catches two nets, he can call it a day. It can be said that it is a super high value-added fishing boat and a favorite target of pirates.
A tall middle-aged man wearing an 87-style jungle camouflage uniform strode down the gangway, followed closely by Wang Jiu, the captain of the tuna fishing boat "Gun Tuan 101". He was about the same age and taller. Both of them had long hair. He wears a thick beard, which shows that it has not been trimmed for a long time.
"Old Zhong!" Li Zewen stretched out his hand from afar.
Zhong Guobang smiled and saluted, stepped forward and shook hands with Li Zewen warmly, "Old Li, you have worked hard, have you had a smooth journey along the way?"
"I encountered several groups of pirates, so I quickly cleaned them up." Li Zewen said with a smile.
Zhong Guobang was not worried about the ship's ability to protect itself at all, and said, "By the way, look who this is."
As he spoke, he turned aside to let Li Hai behind him.
Li Zewen turned around and looked over, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Li Hai? Why are you here, little bastard?"
"Dad!" Li Hai stood at attention and saluted.
What a surprise.
"Uncle Jiu!" Li Hai saluted Wang Jiu.
Wang Jiu laughed loudly and came over and hugged Li Hai's shoulders affectionately, "Good boy, why are you here?"
"I've taken a temporary job here." Li Hai said.
A burst of outpourings of reunion after a long absence.
Zhong Guobang said, "Let's stop standing around and go to the canteen to have something to eat. You are probably all starving, right?"
"Do you have any wine? Take a few sips. I haven't had a few sips of wine in more than half a year." Li Zewen said with a smile.
"Yes! Of course!"
Without Zhong Guobang's instructions, his men would arrange accommodation for the crew. He took Li Zewen, Wang Jiu, Li Hai, and Dang Weimin on the island's only Coaster bus and went straight to the garrison. Go to the reef troop camp.
Li Zewen and Zhong Guobang had no time to talk to Li Hai while chatting, so Li Hai could only talk to Wang Jiu.
"Uncle Jiu, have you changed boats again? The boat just now is obviously not the original one." Li Hai asked.
This tuna fishing boat "Gun Tuan 101" is obviously much larger, and the number limit is missing the word "fishing". Li Hai remembered that the ship where his father was stationed, the ship commanded by Wang Jiu, was the "Qian Tuanyu 101".
"Yes, I changed it to a bigger one." Wang Jiu raised his chin and said proudly, "The company's business has been doing well in the past few years, and the fleet has been expanded again. The full load displacement of my current ship has reached 5,000 tons. , with a maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles, a self-sustaining sailing capability of 30 days, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and 30% power redundancy. It can be used as a tugboat when necessary, isn’t it awesome?”
Li Hai clicked his tongue and sighed, "Your company is too low-key. A fishing company with a total ship tonnage of more than 300,000 tons is really scary. It still needs to expand."
The party for the people was quite surprised, "Three hundred thousand tons? It catches up with the total tonnage of the navies of most countries."
"It's not surprising. Look at COSCO Shipping. The total tonnage is more than 60 million tons. That's called strength. We are still far behind, so there is still a long way to go." Wang Jiu said with a smile. .
Dang Weimin said, "Uncle Jiu, we are the naval aviation force and we have a good understanding of these things at sea. There is no comparability in terms of total tonnage between fishing companies and shipping companies. You are wrong to say that. The fishery industry has more than 300,000 tons. The company ranks among the best in the world, right?"
Wang Jiu shook his head slightly, "It doesn't rank in the top ten. No fishing company in our country can rank in the top ten. So we still need to speed up our development."
It is more appropriate to describe Guntuan Fishing Company as working hard and making money in silence, and they are mainly engaged in fishing in the open sea and polar waters, and rarely compete with offshore fishermen for profits, which makes them even more unknown. On the other hand, because this fishing company only deals in the upstream industry, the products are already owned by another company when they reach consumers.
Li Hai said, "You have been out for more than half a year, haven't you been back?"
"No." Wang Jiu said, "I visited several ocean fishing grounds on this trip. I basically stayed at the shore once a month and caught five boats of fish. All of them were booked by Party A in advance."
He smiled and asked Li Zewen, "Chief shipper, this trip has made at least tens of millions of profits, right?"
"Absolutely." Li Zewen turned around and nodded.
Wang Jiu said, "The domestic tuna market is developing, and at this stage it is still mainly engaged in foreign markets. The advantage of our ship is that it forms an industrial chain. After catching, we will complete the production and packaging, and we will trade directly after docking, and we will directly trade at the CIF price. The settlement efficiency is greatly improved. Naturally, the money is flowing."
While chatting, the group arrived at the camp canteen. After everyone took their seats, Zhong Guobang took Li Zewen and Wang Jiu to drink heavily. It was obvious that they were definitely old friends who had known each other for a long time.
After Dang Weimin had eaten half full, he asked Li Hai in a low voice, "What did your dad do before? Why do you even know the people from Forgettable Reef? They seem to be old friends."
"Didn't I tell you before? He was also a soldier before." Li Hai said.
Dang Weimin said, "It's not that simple, right? Even if you change your job from a regular regiment in the Army, why are you so familiar with people in our Navy?"
At this time, Xue Zhengrong arrived, striding over and saluting as he walked, "Chief ship, I'm late. Brother Guobang really didn't inform me in advance."
"Zhengrong, come on, come on, come and sit here. Don't blame Lao Zhong, I made a last-minute decision. Come, you can have tea instead of wine and let's have a good chat." Li Zewen greeted Xue Zhengrong.
The party and the people are dumbfounded, and the relationship is really unclear.
He looked at Li Hai, and his eyes seemed to say, Li Hai, you are so secretive, why do you want to work here at Forgettable Reef? It turns out that this is the reason! hope to get explanation
Li Hai shrugged, "Don't look at me, I really don't know."
Of course the Party for the People doesn’t believe it.
Li Hai was helpless and could only suppress his voice and smile bitterly and said, "I really don't know. I don't know what my father did in the army before. He never told us and didn't let us ask. My mother did know, but she worked in confidential technology. Yes, it’s even more impossible for her to tell me. I only know that my dad has served in the army, navy and air force, and he has many comrades, even in the Rocket Force."
"Are you kidding me?" Dang Weimin's eyes almost popped out.
There are very few examples of cross-service service, but this is across all services. Li Hai's father is in his early fifties and has changed his career for seven or eight years. Even if he started serving as a soldier at the age of eighteen, he would have served for a total of twenty-four years. Could it be that each of the four major branches of the military served for six years?
What kind of job is this?
Li Hai said, "It's true. I don't know the specific circumstances. But he used to be a subordinate of the old Lu War God."
"God of War Li Mu?" Dang Weimin was shocked.
Li Hai smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's him. My dad is quite awesome."
The party gave the people a thumbs up, "Old Li, you really hide your secrets!"
"It has nothing to do with me." Li Hai lowered his voice and said, "He never lets me tell anyone about him, nor can I use his banner. After he was admitted to our school, his requirements became even stricter, you know this! "
Dang Weimin slowly calmed down from the shock and nodded slowly, "That's true. For someone else to have such an old man, his life would be much more moist and moist. It's not like your life, haha."
"Now you know how difficult it is for me, right?"
"Get lost."
