"Turn around, turn around, turn around."
At this moment, on the deck of the cargo ship, countless sailors watched as the Berkeley destroyer, which had been sailing menacingly toward them, appeared to be heading towards them.
Upon spotting the Type 05 destroyer on their port side, they quietly changed course.
At this moment, they seemed like a wronged little wife, quickly leaving their current course.
"Thank you for the naval escort."
At this moment, the captain picked up the walkie-talkie and began calling the 05 destroyer.
"Feiyu, you're welcome."
"Please proceed to the region of *** East longitude and *** North latitude to wait."
"Feiyu received."
The captain looked at Yuan Yi and said with a smile, "We'll be rendezvousing with the aircraft carrier soon."
"I'm quite excited."
Yuan Yi has gotten to know the other party better these past few days.
"Old Zhang, you've really brought honor to your ancestors, haven't you?"
"Two 100,000-ton aircraft carrier battle groups are escorting you, that's incredibly awesome!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's words, Captain Zhang burst into laughter.
"This feels really good! I'll have something to brag about to my grandson when I'm old!!!"
The giant ship continued sailing until it reached the coordinates provided by the navy.
The captain ordered the ship to stop immediately, and then it began to anchor.
"Buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz."
At that moment, a helicopter appeared in the sky.
Yuan Yi stood up as he looked at the helicopter.
He came over to Zhang Dabing, patted him on the shoulder, and said...
"Bring these items back safely; someone at the dock will hand them over to you."
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Zhang Dabing opened his eyes wide and looked at him.
"Aren't you coming back with us?"
He looked puzzled, as did the other members of the assault team around him.
"Um."
"I'm not going back."
Yuan Yi didn't say much more.
At this point, the helicopter had already landed on the deck.
Yuan Yi patted Zhang Dabing on the shoulder and then quickly ran towards the helicopter.
After boarding the helicopter, it began to take off rapidly.
Yuan Yi waved to Zhang Dabing, and the helicopter turned around and quickly flew towards the aircraft carrier.
Twenty minutes later, the helicopter began to slowly land on the aircraft carrier USS Fujian.
The first people Yuan Yi saw after getting off the helicopter were Captain Li Jun of the Fujian Ship: Deputy Captain Zhou Bin, Political Commissar Chang Yuan'an, Carrier Aircraft Squadron Leader Liu Minhua, and Flight Department Director Zhou Hua'an.
"No, what are you doing here?"
When Li Jun saw Yuan Yi's surprised face, he burst into laughter and walked over.
Then he smiled and said to the several aircraft carrier leaders around him.
"See? I told you our collective arrival would shock this kid, didn't it?"
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, the deputy captain Zhou Bin also laughed.
"Yeah, you're doing pretty well these days, kid! You even have a private jet picking you up!"
Zhou Bin smiled and immediately punched Yuan Yi.
"hey-hey."
Yuan Yi showed no reaction after Zhou Bin punched him in the chest.
He did not retreat, and remained standing straight.
"Captain, this welcoming ceremony is a bit too grand!" Yuan Yi said with a grin as he looked at the leaders.
The lowest-ranking officer here is a colonel, and he's on the same level.
Moreover, they were all old acquaintances, and these people were all his former superiors.
Captain Li Jun holds the rank of Senior Colonel.
I reckon in a couple of years he might be carrying a general's star on his shoulders.
Zhou Bin, the deputy captain, also holds the rank of senior colonel, and the political commissar, needless to say, also holds the rank of senior colonel.
That is, Zhou Hua'an, the squadron leader of the carrier-based aircraft group and the director of the flight department, both held the rank of colonel.
However, the entire aircraft carrier was designed to serve these two individuals.
There was no other way; Zhou Hua'an controlled the flight orders of the entire aircraft carrier, while Liu Minhua controlled all the pilots on the carrier.
Liu Minhua saw Yuan Yi come up and immediately gave him a hug.
There was no way around it; Yuan Yi was essentially his personally trained apprentice, and this relationship would never change no matter where Yuan Yi went.
"You little rascal, I heard you've been really good lately!"
Liu Minhua hugged Yuan Yi and patted his chest as she spoke.
"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to Master's excellent teaching!"
"Without your guidance back then, how could I have ever been able to fly a fighter jet?!"
Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Liu Minhua was happy, but said on the surface, "No, if you want to thank someone, thank our captain. If it weren't for his insistence that I take you with me back then..."
"I really didn't think much of you back then!!"
"Let's go, let's go, this is not the place to talk."
"Our captain heard you were coming up, so he had the mess hall prepare a welcome banquet for you."
Yuan Yi looked at Li Jun and immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Thank you, Captain."
Li Jun waved his hand: "Alright, let's go! Don't stand here in the sea breeze!!!"
The group headed straight for the cafeteria.
Along the way, Yuan Yi encountered many people he knew before.
There were deck crew members, pilots, members of the Jiaolong Commando Unit, and flight crew members.
Of course, there were also many new recruits who landed on the aircraft carrier.
After all, Yuan Yi had been gone for two years, and some soldiers had retired while others had joined.
The new soldiers looked at Yuan Yi, who was dressed in a sailor's uniform, with curiosity.
"Squad leader, who is that person?"
"How can we trouble our captain, deputy captain, political commissar, squadron leader, and director all to pick us up together!"
"Yeah, who is that person? Is he some high-ranking official sent down for a 'gilded' experience?"
Many of the new soldiers watched Yuan Yi with curiosity as he headed towards the mess hall.
Hearing the new recruits' questions, the veteran soldiers, including the squad leader, all showed admiration on their faces.
"Him?"
"But it's the legend of our Fujian aircraft carrier!!"
"???"
"???"
"???"
"What? A legend?"
"Him?"
"I think he's only in his early twenties, not much older than us!"
These are the new pilots.
New recruits who have just completed solo flight training are ready to board aircraft carriers and carry out flight missions.
"You guys just don't understand, do you?"
"Tell me, how many years did it take you to learn to fly?"
The young pilots began their journey from registering for exams to solo flights on aircraft carriers.
"It's been five or six years."
Listening to the young man's words, the old pilot had a look of emotion on his face.
"Yes, it takes ordinary people three or four years to learn to fly, and then they have to go through solo flights, training, and so on before they can carry out missions alone."
Do you know how long it took them?
Everyone shook their heads.
"Seven days, but actually it's less than seven days."
"It took only five days to take off and seven days to complete the solo flight."
"And on his first solo flight, he engaged in aerial combat with a South Korean F-35."
"With his excellent air combat skills, he directly brought down an F-35 fighter jet!"
