We stayed on the Ji'an ship that night.

To be honest, when we walked into the military cabin with big bags and small bags like we escaped, we were really shocked. Friends who have checked on Baidu should know that the Ji'an ship has a long history and is considered an antique of the old ship, so its accommodation conditions are the worst I have ever seen.

There are fallen cabinets in the military cabin, and these cabinets are beds.

The five of us looked at the scene in front of us in amazement, and then the deputy political commissar came over and patted our shoulders calmly and said, "Don't be so surprised, you have to know that the Ji'an ship was an old ship in 1978, and it was considered as good accommodation conditions back then."

At that moment, my heart trembled suddenly. Yes, this old ship sent away batches of veterans, who had left their own footprints here and dedicated their youth for the country's coastal defense cause.

Thinking of this, this simple military cabin suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye, and our hearts were filled with excitement.

Then the deputy political commissar told us that we could choose any bed, anyway, the entire second-hand cabin was freed for us.

We were all very grateful at the time, thinking that the veterans were so nice to us.

As a result, I discovered the next day that this was not something that was freed up. As they did not sleep in the military cabin at all.

Because the Ji'an ship was retired, there were not many people on the entire ship. So they stopped sleeping in the military cabin, but were all sleeping in the cadre room.

We who know the truth cry down, you will rejoice my touch yesterday.

However, the sleeping military cabin also has the benefits of sleeping military cabin. After all, the military cabin is very large, and the beds are built with cabinets. It is OK to use it as much as you want to do.

Of course, don’t get me wrong. This kind of boat with a cabinet made of beds is no longer available in China. There are beds on the boats now. However, it is still the question I mentioned before. Due to the small area, the size of the beds is very limited.

It would be fine if you are short, but like me, you can sleep in the bed out of the bathtub.

The beds built by the cabinet do not have any restrictions such as bed poles, so it is also good to be able to sleep with your hands.

But then again, I still haven't figured out how those veterans went out to sea on beds of this kind of activity? How did the boat sway so much?

Could it be... drilling inside the cabinet?

359

Although I haven't figured out many things yet, I have at least confirmed one thing. Even with such arduous conditions, generations of veterans have dedicated their youth here.

We have a stable life now, and it is the exchange of these veterans for us with their youth, sweat and blood.

They are the most respectable and lovely people.

Now let me briefly introduce the leadership composition on the warship. The boss of a ship must be the captain, and the second must be the political commissar. These two are in charge of military affairs and the other are in charge of politics. So, please be sure to be stubborn with these two.

Further down there is the first mate, that is, the intern captain. The first mate is the young mate, and this is the deputy captain. There is also a deputy political commissar under the political commissar, and the deputy political commissar takes over the leave situation.

The Ji'an ship is different because it is a retired ship, and there is no captain on it. The biggest one is a deputy captain. When I went there, the deputy captain of the Ji'an ship was named Zhang. I forgot what the detailed name was. Anyway, they called him Lao Zhang. But later he was transferred to the Foshan ship to be the captain, and then he met me again, which was a bad fate.

361

I will talk to you about the topic of Lao Zhang later, and I will first tell you about my story on the Ji'an ship.

Although the time was short, it left a deep impression on me. Because this was the first warship I had to wait for, and it also gave me a certain understanding of life on the warship.

There is almost nothing to do on the retired ship, and there is no need to do too much equipment maintenance. After all, most of the weapon systems on the ship have been removed. What we have to do every day is to sweep the floor, brush the decks, etc.

But this deck is really not something that humans do, because the decks on warships are not flat like those on cruise ships. In order to prevent sailors from falling, the decks on warships were specially made into anti-slip types.

Simply put, the anti-slip bottom is a bit similar to a track, but the particles are particularly rough and not elastic. This kind of ground fall will not be able to do it, but the broom becomes useless.

The most useful thing for sweeping the warships is brushes, and long pole brushes. So early in the morning, five of us brushed the entire Ji'an ship's ground.

After washing the deck, the five of us basically left our body. At that time, I was still thinking that if we had to brush the deck like this every day, I would better retire from the army as soon as possible. This is so crazy.

Later I found out that we were being messed up. Generally speaking, five people in a class only care about one deck. For example, the front main gun I am in, only care about the front deck part, and even the bow part is not ours.

The middle part has nothing to do with us.

But in order to be lazy, the veterans of the Ji'an ship commanded us. Alas, there was nothing we could do, after all, they were new recruits.

Fortunately, we only worked for one day in the five days, because we didn’t need to brush the deck every day, just brush it once a week.

362

After washing the deck, we had basically nothing to do in the past five days, so we ate, drank, rested every day, and played with our mobile phones to live.

However, the food on the Ji'an ship is the best place I have ever eaten. Because of the lack of people, everyone can basically order food. Anyway, let the kitchen team do whatever they want.

The first time I ate hot pot on the boat was on the Ji'an ship. At that time, we all gathered together in the conference room, which felt pretty good.

363

With my salary, I lay in a "luxury room" built with hundreds of millions of yuan. I lived my life of food, clothes, sleeping, playing, and eating. Am I retired now?

The next day, I saw Master Zuo crossing his legs on the bed, posting his friends with smug words.

Then less than ten minutes later, the kitchen team leader came down and said he had to go on a toll to carry rice, and then asked who was more idle.

The four of us pointed at Master Zuo without saying a word and said that this guy is almost retired when he is idle.

So Zuo was dragged away by the kitchen squad leader under the eyes of the four of us. By the way, his eyes were like "Why are you trying to harm me?"

To be honest, aren’t you going to retire if you are idle? We are trying to bring you back from your retirement life and let you experience the passion of life again!
