Under the guidance of the pilot wheel, the bulk carrier "Don't Forget Me" slowly sailed away from the dock, rolling over the water in the harbor channel and slowly moving away.
The navy sergeant took the two recruits to the top of the ship building, which was the small platform under the mast. He leaned against the guardrail and looked down at the slightly messy supplies on the cargo deck. After slowly raising his eyes,
You can look at the sea and sky in the distance. When you look sideways, you can see the huge Wuya Bay and the luxury hotels, residences, scenic spots lined up on the shore...
The white sandy beach is full of tourists, like leisurely ants, and the sunlight falling from the west adds to the laziness.
"This is a city suitable for living." Dang Weimin sighed with emotion, "I have an impulse in my chest and want to compose a poem, but there is nothing in my heart."
Li Hai looked at the beach about three kilometers away with a telescope and said with a sneer, "You are hasty. The life you see now is not the normal life of the people of Wuya. You will know when you are ready to live and work here in peace and contentment."
If you want a normal life like what you see, you need a lot of money."
Sergeant Zhang agreed, "Yes, Wuya is a tourist city. Tourists from other places are of course willing to spend money. In fact, many locals have a living standard that is not as good as that of coastal cities in mainland China. And the prices here are relatively high. I
I think apart from the environment, it’s not a suitable place to live. But it is said that jobs here generally pay higher wages.”
"The gap between the rich and the poor is quite large," Li Hai said.
Dang Weimin said in bewilderment, "You are too realistic, and your good mood is ruined by your few words. No, Haizi, I am just confused. How come you know everything? Is there anything you don't know?"
"
Li Hai smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, read more books and browse information. There are many things I don't know. For example, I am going to ask Squad Leader Zhang something."
"Just ask." Sergeant Zhang said with a smile.
"I read the news about new recruits every year. It seems that they all take civil aviation charter flights to the Forever Prosperous Island." Li Hai said.
Sergeant Zhang suddenly laughed out loud, "Boy, do you think the treatment is not as good as that of recruits? In fact, you should think so. You officers and non-commissioned officers are considered to have a career. Most of the recruits have a two-year service period.
After that, I will be discharged from the army and go home, and it will take two years to complete. Going to the island is originally a hard job. Giving everyone the treatment of a chartered flight not only reflects the importance the organization attaches to everyone, but also makes everyone feel happier."
Li Hai and Dang Weimin laughed awkwardly, "I understand, that's the truth. It's not that we don't feel ignored. It's good to take a boat. None of us have ever gone out to the sea by boat. It's just that we usually fly airplanes. Suddenly, we were
It feels different on a slow boat."
If you take a plane, you can reach the Forgotten Reef, which is more than a thousand kilometers away, in just over an hour.
The first journey was very comfortable. Along the way, we constantly encountered ships, cargo ships, fishing boats, coast guard ships and even navy ships. On the huge sea, when there is no land in sight, the frequent appearance of ships will make people feel
No sense of loneliness.
After night fell, Li Hai and Li Hai couldn't sleep and ran to the passage outside the ship building to relax and breathe in the warm sea breeze, which was quite comfortable.
Late autumn is about to enter in the north. There is a coolness at night, but the heat is still unbearable in the South China Sea. This is still on a ship with a speed of 12 knots, and it is at night. If it is on an island during the day, the temperature will approach 40
Spend.
There was a rumbling sound in the sky, and Li Hai subconsciously looked up. In the night sky, right above his head, two sets of red and green navigation lights were moving due south.
"Which unit is this conducting night flight training?" Dang Weimin said.
It is obviously a two-plane formation flying at supersonic speed. In addition to fighter jets, there are also aircraft.
Li Hai shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not training."
Slightly startled, Dang Weimin understood. At this position, the two-aircraft formation started to fly at supersonic speeds with afterburners. Most of them were rushing to a designated airspace or sea area. In daily training, the frequency of supersonic speeds was increased.
It is not very high, and most of the training content can be completed at the subsonic stage.
"It's not peaceful here." Dang Weimin said with emotion.
Li Hai said in a deep voice, "There is no absolute peace. It's just that there are many places that we people can't see, let alone the common people. To be honest, for the sake of the people, I chose to serve in the island aviation unit of the Eighth Hai Division.
The main reason is not for gold plating."
"I know that although you are a stingy person, you are never ambiguous about big things. I have also seriously considered it. Yes, joining the Flying Shark Force and becoming a member of the Tailhook Club is my pursuit, but in the final analysis
It is a personal pursuit. My dad said that as a party member, you must always put the party's affairs before personal matters. As a soldier, you must always put the collective before the individual. Don't think too much, kid.
I didn’t apply for a temporary job just to accompany you." Dang Weimin said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
Li Hai laughed and asked, "By the way, how did you say that Mr. Zhang would actually agree?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so cheerful. What kind of army is the Flying Shark Army? It's hard to get in and even harder to get out." Dang Weimin said, spreading his hands.
Of course they couldn't figure it out, so they stopped thinking about it.
At this moment, looking at the two sets of navigation lights that were gradually disappearing, the two young eagles, who were full of expectations for their future flying careers, were filled with envy, and they were even more looking forward to their upcoming career as an island aviation force.
Engage in the most dangerous combat flight work on the toughest frontline, taking off early in the morning or late at night and roaring to designated sea areas to escort fishermen, engaging in fierce free-air combat confrontations between the sea and the sky or sea-skimming flights during the hottest times
Breaking through the air defense circle of the "enemy" fleet and conducting simulated strike training is the combat flying life that men yearn for.
Thinking of the joy of the upcoming success and the fishermen excitedly shouting "Long live the People's Soldiers" on the radio, Li Hai was so excited that he wished he could take off immediately.
What is this? It’s a sense of accomplishment!
Lin Li, who was far away in Ludong Port City, returned home after work. She finished cooking and looked at the empty rented one-bedroom and one-living small apartment. She was really out of mood. One person goes to work and one person leaves work.
Cook alone, eat alone, and sleep alone.
What is the difference between having a boyfriend and not having a boyfriend?
It's not that she never thought about giving up, but the thoughts that occasionally popped up were quickly killed by the powerful love guards. Her yearning for love for Li Hai became more and more firm and profound. After a while, she quickly regained her interest in life.
Confidence - She is such a woman who knows how to motivate herself.
Is Li Hai okay during the training? His food is definitely good and his sleep is guaranteed. The only thing he worries about is safety. Sooner or later, pilots' families will be used to raising their hearts after their husbands take off.
Then wait in agony for news of a safe landing, repeating this over and over again until it becomes a habit.
Lin Li didn't know yet that her boyfriend was already on the way to the distant Forgotten Reef...
