After the formation entered the Indian Ocean, it ushered in a special festival——
New Year's Day is coming!
For escort matters, most of the time we go out are in the middle of the year and the end of the year.
And this time and the end of the year, it happens to be the end of December.
After another day, the escort formation had completely left the Strait of Malacca and was sailing in the vast Indian Ocean.
For some unknown reason, after entering the Indian Ocean, Li Zheng felt that the waves were getting bigger and bigger. This was a real ocean, and it was still very different from the previous waters near the South China Sea in the Strait of Malacca.
The real ocean has no barriers between islands and land. Whenever there are waves, they are big waves.
The waves were so big that even a warship couldn't bear them. The waves were also shaking so hard that it was difficult to maintain balance even while walking. When standing still, you had to maintain a straddle motion and use your feet to balance.
When walking in the ship, when passing through the aisles, I see people walking staggering, and visually the scenery seems to be tilted. Everything hanging on the wall on the ship is shaking and hitting the wall unless it is completely fixed.
Sometimes when I'm eating in the cafeteria, the toothpick box in front of me will suddenly fall down without any warning. I hold the rice bowl with one hand and the chopsticks with the other while I'm eating. I'm always prepared for the possibility of sudden shaking and causing the food to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, we have experienced seasickness before, so this time it will not make everyone vomit like before.
Li Zheng felt that he seemed to be used to this kind of life.
life at sea.
On a ship, as an individual, you can only endure and learn to adapt to all the influences brought by nature.
This is a basic survival skill that any officer and soldier of the navy must learn. If you can't adapt, you will be eliminated. There is nothing to say.
In the past, Li Zheng heard that the subsidy for sailing on the ship was quite high. When he was in the Tiger Brigade, he said that the subsidy for his special forces was not as high as that for their sea voyage. Looking at it now, it seems that it is not easy to get this subsidy.
Zhang Jian didn't need to speak to Wang Haiyang this time, and took the initiative to arrange targeting and shooting training on the ship for everyone.
On land, special forces are trained in winter and summer, and they train under whatever conditions are the worst.
The same is true on ships. Since the waves are big and fast now, it is even more important to conduct various trainings in such harsh conditions.
So in the morning, the No. 2 ship organized targeted anti-terrorism and anti-piracy training on its own, and then pulled it to the helicopter deck and started practicing gunnery.
Not to mention, some things are quite strange.
When it came to training, everyone felt that they were not dizzy anymore, not at all.
Fatty Wei said this was really strange.
Zhang Jian said it was not surprising. We are soldiers, and soldiers have a sense of responsibility. Once they have a sense of responsibility, they will naturally stop feeling dizzy.
Wang Haiyang laughed and teased the two of them, saying that you are just talking nonsense! What sense of responsibility is there? In fact, it is just that the high concentration of the mind leads to the inability to divide oneself, and the functional disorders caused by the loss of balance in the body are ignored.
Now the team on the No. 2 ship has formed a habit of training whenever they encounter big waves or feel seasick.
No matter how hard you train, isn’t it Akira? Even with guns, it would be a crime not to use such a beautiful natural scene to beat the troops.
This was said by Li Zheng.
Everyone thinks Li Zheng is a freak.
The reason why he is called a freak is because the rougher the storm, the more Li Zheng likes to take a sniper rifle to the deck to practice aiming.
He fell in love with the feeling of aiming at a bird or a wave in the distance on the rocking hull.
Or there is no target at all, just aim the gun directly at the sea surface, and try to control the crosshair to swing within a small range. The smaller the better.
In the evening, although the weather conditions and sea conditions were not good, the ship still organized a sumptuous dinner for everyone to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
There are eight dishes, not to mention fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, but also sea cucumbers.
In addition, for the first time, the captain asked the cooking team to prepare a can of beer for everyone. This was the most surprising thing.
After all, drinking is strictly prohibited on the ship.
Before dinner began, the captain stood up with a beer in his hand.
"Comrades! Comrades! Tonight is the last night of this year. We have been participating in the pre-convoy business training at the base since October. The National Day was not over. After the end, we did not allow visitors to visit us and came directly. On the ship, we set sail and went to sea. We came to this strange sea thousands of kilometers away from our motherland. I couldn't be with my family or my loved ones, let alone my children. I guess they were all asking their families about their father at this time. Where is it, where is mom?"
He paused.
There seemed to be some tears in the corners of his eyes.
"However, tonight you can use the ship's line to talk to your family. Each of you only has two minutes. If you have children, you can tell them that dad... or mom, is going to defend the sea. My own people have gone to fight monsters..."
At this point, he stopped again.
Fatty Wei whispered to Li Zheng underground: "The captain is really a sentimental person..."
Zhang Jian couldn't help but said: "What do you know? The captain himself hasn't gone back for a year. His daughter will take the college entrance examination next year. It's probably not sure whether she can catch up when he goes back. You don't have a daughter. Of course you don't know this." taste……"
Fatty Wei said: "You sound like you have a baby..."
At this time, the captain finally controlled his emotions, lifted the beer in his hand, and said loudly: "Comrades, comrades! I am very happy to fight side by side with you on this voyage. This is my honor. Tonight, we I can only drink this can of beer, and don’t say anything else. The blessings and thoughtful words are all in this can of wine! Listen to the command, raise your wine - shout together, one! Two! Three! Dry!"
The atmosphere in the restaurant was as thick as a can of old wine. Li Zheng drank this can of beer with a few degrees of alcohol, giving it the aroma of more than 50 degrees of old soy sauce.
In fact, what is strong is not the wine, but the love, the love of comrades-in-arms.
After finishing the can of beer, everyone sat down.
Fatty Wei rubbed his hands, almost dripping with saliva.
"This cooking class is really good at this craft! It's at the level of a star hotel! This dish smells delicious..."
He picked up a piece of sea cucumber and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, then nodded and said: "The person in charge of the cooking class must have learned Shandong cuisine. The typical Shandong cuisine recipe of grilled sea cucumbers with green onions..."
Fatty Wei's temperament is like this. He loved to eat before he joined the army. After joining the army, no matter how hard the training was, he still loved to eat.
Although it's not as high-quality as what he eats at home, he can shake his head and rattle off a lot of food no matter what dish he eats.
I remember one time when I was trying to eat a snake in the wild, this guy took a skinned, beheaded, but still moving snake and while gnawing on it, he talked to everyone about the N ways to eat snakes...
This dinner is destined to be unsettling.
Just when everyone had not finished eating half of their meal, a broadcast from the command center came over the radio.
"Level 2 alert handling, attention, alert handling, unidentified aircraft are found approaching my formation! Repeat, unidentified aircraft are found approaching my formation!"
In the restaurant, everyone stood up.
In less than thirty seconds, the originally bustling restaurant suddenly became empty.
The cooking squad leader walked out of the back kitchen and looked at the unfinished meals left everywhere on the seats. He sighed and shook his head: "What a waste..."
A soldier from the cooking squad also came out. He glanced at the squad leader and asked, "Squad leader, what should we do with these meals?"
The cooking squad leader turned back and glared at him: "What can I do? Throw out all the things that have been put out. Keep the things that have not been put out in the kitchen warm. Tell the others to start making some dumplings now. I don't know how long I will be working on them tonight." , they will come for midnight snacks when they are hungry..."
The cook responded and turned back to the kitchen.
The cooking squad leader looked up towards the ceiling and the door, and murmured: "What a stupid plane..."
Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
