Chapter 59

Chapter 8 has arrived in the blink of an eye, and I don’t seem to have involved much of the warship matters. I will give you a question in this chapter and tell you about the simple warship architecture.

The configuration of the recruit battalion is similar to that of the army. There are seven to eight people in a squad, and the squad leader is the members. For example, the squad leader of the recruit battalion is the recruit himself.

The squad is the district team, and the district captain is the old non-commissioned officer in the team, usually two, one chief and one deputy. Our district captain is Jia Wen, and the deputy district is Feng Long.

There are officers above the district team, namely the captain and political commissar.

But the warships do not have such a structure. Take my ship, Beihai, as an example. (Because I cannot say the hull number, I can only say the name of our warship. If you are interested, you can check it on Baidu.) Generally speaking, there are three teams on the warship. The first team is basically the department of navigation and driving, and the second team is the department I am waiting for, which is the weapon department. The third team is the department such as the mechanical and electrical departments. Whether a ship can move depends mainly on the electromechanical and electrical departments.

However, the team here does not have the position of captain, because a team will have many departments, such as guns, missiles, etc. This is divided according to the department, so there is no captain, only many department heads.

The department can be understood as a team with a small number of people, with a complete structure, such as the department head, deputy department head and instructor. Whether you can take a vacation or not depends on the mood of these people, so don’t offend these people.

In addition, there is also a captain on the ship, but the so-called captain is a technical position, which is held by Gaoqi non-commissioned officers.

If you are the Army who read my book, then it may be difficult for you to understand what I said, because the Army is already very powerful until the third period. However, the Navy is different. There are several non-commissioned officers on our ship alone in the fifth period, which cannot be seen in the Army.

Generally speaking, the status of old non-commissioned officers on warships is very high, because whether a ship can move depends on them. Strictly speaking, these people are the patron saints of a warship. They have given all their youth to a ship and are the people I admire the most.

An old non-commissioned officer is the target of the major warships. You may have been working as a captain for two or three years. A first mate may only be three or five years, while a small mate may be shorter. If you do a department head worse, you may be spending five or six years here.

But a high-term non-commissioned officer may work from a new recruit to a ship retirement. They are people who witness the ups and downs of a ship, and I am afraid that even I can't understand the sadness.

After all, warships are made to make a living at sea, and some occupational diseases cannot be avoided. Moreover, the separation of the two places for many years is also a great challenge.

As far as I saw myself, my team leader, Comrade Li, worked as a sixth-term non-commissioned officer on our ship. They were not the two-year conscripts we now know, but the three-year conscripts, followed by five-year contract soldiers. Then the third-year four-year, four-year, five-year, six-year, and six-year. Decades of wind and rain have caused him to be suffering from various rheumatism, as well as some diseases such as hair loss caused by radar radiation and paint.

Sometimes the captain would smile and sigh to me, "In the blink of an eye, people get old and the boat gets old. Maybe the boat will retreat, so he will retreat."

I had just boarded the ship and it didn't sound like nothing. But now I have left the army, have a stable job and family, I began to feel the mood of our captain. It was a kind of helplessness and sadness, and a kind of reluctance.

Maybe when you first joined the army, you will have many ideas and purposes, hoping to advance, transfer to your career, hope to get extra points for the postgraduate entrance examination, etc. But a veteran who has worked for more than ten years will definitely rely on his love for the army.

When the passion of your youth fades away, you will live on your faith and responsibility.

Having written this, I want to give my captain a salute and a salute to the veterans in the ups and downs. Our peaceful and stable life is what you sacrifice your youth, health and even family harmony. You are the cutest people in this world.

It is hard to imagine that I would cry when writing such things. I, who was in the army, did not feel so personally. But after retiring from the army, my work and life gradually stabilized, and I began to understand the commendableness of this stability, which made me extremely respectful to veterans like my captain.

Everyone wants to enjoy this tranquility. Every day, when going to and from get off work, your wife and children are warm on the bed, but some things must be done by someone, and someone must be done by someone.

Having written this, I suddenly remembered Erpeng’s life on guarding the island. Erpeng’s trip to guarding the island seemed to be an accident. I remember that at that time, the island guarding department came to our recruit camp to recruit people.

I signed up at the first time because I like to read quietly (nonsense, I am a writer, so I must like reading.). But the battalion commander who recruited soldiers glanced at me and then gave me two words coldly - no.

Of course I was not happy, because I would usually be dizzy when I took a bus, so I didn't want to take a boat. So I chased after me and wanted to guard the island.

The battalion commander stayed with us for a few hours, and I chased after him for a few hours. I was impatient with my pursuit. The battalion commander had no choice but to say to me with a sad face: "My brother, it's not that I don't want you, I really can't take it."

"Why?" I didn't understand.

The battalion commander sighed and said to me: "The Nansha guards the reefs, and the place is so big, there is no electricity or water on it, and you rely on canned food. Replenishing it once every half a month. With your figure, others will probably finish eating in three days if you eat half a month's ration. Not to mention drinking water, in such a hot place, others can only drink water for half a month. One person and one dog guards the island, don't turn around and the dogs are slaughtered by you. Please let me go, let our island guards troops go!"

Only then did I realize that the battalion commander chose all those who were as thin as Erpeng.

I had a dream that night, dreaming that I was galloping on the sea and fishing with a harpoon. Do I eat so much from Nono?

Well, I admit, I really had a lot of food. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, remembering that there was a restaurant in Ningde that had a seafood platter, and one platter was enough for five to six people to eat.

At that time, I went with my comrades-in-arms in the same class. He was petite and weighed only half of my weight. When I went shopping, he went to the seafood platter alone.

As a result, the other party looked at it and said, "Our seafood platter is very large, enough for five or six people to eat."

Before I could speak, I walked over. As a result, the little waiter on the other side took a look, and suddenly his face changed and said, "Uh...what, do you need to order something else? I'm afraid you won't have enough food."
