On December 14, the task force arrived in the Gulf of Aden after sailing continuously on the vast sea for eight days.
It was noon when the fleet arrived. Ye Han, who had just had lunch, was wandering on the deck when he suddenly saw the sea level in the distance replaced by a line of land.
Although he had long known that he would arrive in Africa today, after drifting on the sea for more than a week, Ye Han's heart was still full of excitement and expectation when he suddenly saw land.
"Finally we're here!" Ye Han murmured.
"Yeah, we're finally here." A voice came from behind. Ye Han looked back and blurted out in surprise: "Captain?"
Wei Chengfei saw the surprise in Ye Han's eyes and couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking about? What's that look in your eyes?"
Ye Han grinned: "We are almost arriving at the port, why don't you sit on the bridge?"
"The earth will spin just as well without anyone else." Wei Chengfei said with a smile.
At this time, a freighter full of containers appeared in the distance. Because it was still far away, it was not clear which country the freighter belonged to. However, after the freighter discovered the fleet, it immediately lowered the flag on the mast and then slowly raised it.
Ye Han immediately turned around and saw the national flag on the aircraft carrier's mainmast also lowered and then raised.
This kind of ceremony of lowering the flag and then raising the flag is a courtesy between ships. It has the same meaning as two cars honking at each other. The general rule is that the civilian ship lowers the flag first to show salute, and the warship lowers the flag later to show return salute. Between warships and warships, lower-level people
Lower the flag first.
The interaction between the ships aroused Ye Han's interest. There happened to be a ready-made commentator beside him, so he asked enthusiastically: "Captain Wei, we are about to enter the port. Don't we need to fire off a salute or something?"
"Not only will the salute be fired, but you will also have to stand on the slope later. Why do you think I am on the deck at this time?" Wei Chengfei stared.
Standing slope is the common name for zoning queue, which is the etiquette of standing in line along the edge of the deck. It is said that this etiquette was first used to show friendship to the other party - my ship is about to enter the port, and everyone is standing on the deck and not in combat positions.
, it is impossible to cross Chencang secretly to carry out a sneak attack, and it is absolutely full of sincerity.
The same goes for gun salutes. In the era of sailing battleships, firing a gun required a long time to clear the gun barrel. After firing the salute, it meant that no more guns could be fired for a long time, which was equivalent to indirect disarmament... Well, you are very sincere, let's enter the port.
With the passage of time and the advancement of technology, gun salutes and standing ramps have long lost their original functions, and are now just one of the common etiquettes of navies of various countries.
It is very good and powerful. It is indeed the most polite military branch.
While they were talking, groups of officers and soldiers dressed in neat military uniforms walked onto the deck. Ye Han saw this and said quickly: "Then I'll go back first." After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?" Wei Chengfei quickly stopped him.
"Go back, you guys are standing here, what's wrong with me here?"
From top to bottom, there are more than 5,000 people on the Yunzhou. It only takes one-tenth to fill half of the deck, and there is no need for him, the space fleet, to join in the fun.
"What are you talking about? You are also on the ship now. Go and call all your people out and stand on the slope with them."
"Ah?" Ye Han paused, "Is this necessary? This military uniform is also different!"
Not only does the Navy have a lot of etiquette, but it also has the most uniforms among all branches of the military. However, the Space Fleet only has one-piece tights in addition to regular uniforms and training uniforms. Anyone with a discerning eye will know something is wrong at a glance.
"Who asked you to wear a military uniform? Put on the power armor." Wei Chengfei said.
Ye Han almost thought he heard it wrong: "No, you don't have a fever, right?" Wearing power armor and standing on the slope, is this a sign of friendship? It means it's more of a deterrent.
"What do you know!" Wei Chengfei stared, "We're already at the Yankee's doorstep, why don't we go and visit?"
Ye Han was very surprised and turned to look at the land in the distance: "Here?" He dared to bet with a year's salary that this idea must have been just thought of by Wei Chengfei, rather than a prior plan.
"Where do you think it is?" Wei Chengfei chuckled, "The American base is on the south side of the bay, and our base is on the north side of the bay. The two bases are separated by a bay, with a straight-line distance of twelve kilometers. Do you understand what I mean?
?”
"I understand." Ye Han nodded, "I'll do it right away!"
The military's habit has always been to keep whatever good stuff it has in its hands, and keep it secret no matter how good the equipment is, so that no one at home or abroad knows the true strength of the military.
However, Ye Han feels that if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of them being remembered. Hiding your strength all the time will only make potential enemies look down on you. There is nothing wrong with revealing a little bit to scare the enemy.
Of course, this is just his own idea.
Ye Han left in a hurry, but Wei Chengfei's voice still chased after him closely: "Take everything you need to bring, come to the front deck to find me -"
"Got it!" Ye Han replied, turning on the communication function of his wrist and brain while running, "Liu Bin, urgently gather in the hangar, fully armed!"
"Yes!" Liu Bin immediately blew the assembly whistle without saying a word.
The team members were maintaining their equipment in the hangar. When they heard the whistle, they immediately changed their gear and rallied. When Ye Han arrived at the hangar, the soldiers had already lined up.
When Liu Bin saw Ye Han, he yelled and stood at attention. He turned around and wanted to salute and report. Ye Han waved his hand to stop him: "Wait!" Before he could finish his words, he rushed into the hangar.
The soldiers were stunned at the same time, not understanding what happened.
Liu Bin wondered quietly, weren't they entering the port soon? Why were they still fully armed at this time? Could it be that there was an accident at the port?
Thinking of this, Liu Bin couldn't help but scream secretly, and shouted to the soldiers: "Check the equipment!"
An inexplicable tense atmosphere enveloped everyone. The soldiers did not dare to neglect and pulled the bolts of their rifles to check their weapons and equipment.
Just at this time, Ye Han, who had changed his armor, walked out of the hangar and asked in shock: "What are you doing? Put the gun away!"
"Captain?" Liu Bin was confused.
Ye Han smiled and said, "It's okay. Go out and help stand at a post to cheer up the brothers in the navy."
Everyone suddenly realized what had happened.
The aircraft carrier may be called small, but it is really not that big. These days, the soldiers have made a few new friends, and they already know what Zhanpo is about.
Ye Han waved his hand, "Okay, Liu Bin, let's set off as a team, don't use the ladder, go straight to the elevator!"
There was no room for armored vehicles on the aircraft carrier. In order to accommodate armored vehicles and other equipment, Wei Chengfei vacated several hangars.
These hangars are not far from the elevators. Both personnel and equipment can directly take the elevator to the flight deck... This is the fastest way from the hangar to the deck.
Amid Liu Bin's command, the team walked towards the elevator in unison, their heavy boots clanking loudly on the embossed steel plate.
Crying, I finished coding at noon, and before uploading, there was a sudden power outage. I was so confused every day that I lost all the chapters I had just coded.
When I came back from get off work and recoded, I couldn't find the feeling I had at noon. I was so fucked up.
