Chapter 41 Captain!
Su Dingping originally wanted to say hello to Zhang Zhaoxin, but after all, they hadn’t seen each other for a month.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party came up, he directly called him "Comrade Su Dingping" and said that he was here on behalf of the navy. He immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
He looked at Sun Yongguo with confusion on his face.
"Dean, what is going on?"
Sun Yongguo looked serious: "Colonel Zhou."
Immediately, Zhou Qinglei, dressed in military uniform, walked in with goose steps.
"Comrade Su Dingping, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Sea Military Base."
As he said that, Zhou Qinglei stood next to Zhang Zhaoxin.
“Comrade Zhang Gongnong.” Sun Yongguo looked at Zhang Gongnong again.
Zhang Gongnong quickly straightened his clothes, then walked to the other side of Zhang Zhaoxin and looked at Su Dingping.
"Comrade Su Dingping, I would like to represent all the scientific researchers involved in the 956E research."
Originally, these words should have been said by Sun Yongguo himself, but he considered that Su Dingping was Zhang Gongnong students, so I gave up this opportunity.
Immediately, Li Mingrui walked over, and Sun Yongguo also walked over.
Four colonels and one colonel are not worthy of the chief's personal visit, but they are pretty much the same on the cards.
Seeing the serious expressions of the five people, Su Dingping panicked for no reason.
This was his first time experiencing this scene.
Is it possible that Sister Xueyun broke the rules by sending me Qingdao specialties?
Is it too late to go back now?
He tried: "Guys, why are you so serious? If there are any violations, please tell me. I haven't violated the confidentiality regulations. I don't understand many rules."
Sun Yongguo said: "Comrade Su Dingping, just open the box on the side and take a look."
Su Dingping turned to look at the box on the side.
The desk that should have been filled with research drawings was now clean, with only a black box placed in the middle.
He could see that this box should be very important.
“I opened it?”
Sun Yongguo nodded.
Su Dingping carefully opened the lock and then slowly opened the box.
As soon as a crack was exposed in the box, Su Dingping saw the contents inside through the light.
Crack——
Su Dingping quickly retracted his hand and closed the box again.
He looked at Sun Yongguo and said in surprise: "Dean, inside here..."
"Comrade Su Dingping, everything in here belongs to you."
"Mine?" Su Dingping looked at the box in surprise and shook his head quickly: "Impossible! I'm still a student, I haven't graduated yet!"
Zhang Zhaoxin said: "Comrade Su Dingping, we are here just for this box. The things inside."
Zhang Gongnong and others on the side also nodded.
Su Dingping slowly opened the box again, his heart still fluctuating violently.
Stacked in the box is a set of navy uniforms.
In addition, on the top of the military uniform, there is an epaulette.
The base is black, and the two pieces are decorated with black trim representing the navy. The base is embellished with a thin black bar and three stars.
One bar and three stars - Captain!
Su Dingping recognized it at just one glance. It was the '88-style' captain's epaulette.
Su Dingping's Adam's apple twitched suddenly, and his eyes fell on the military officer's ID card next to the epaulettes.
When he picked it up and opened it, he couldn't help but take a breath.
His photo is clearly posted on it, with his name written on it.
"Captain?"
"Me?"
"Dean, Colonel Zhang, this joke is not funny." Su Dingping carefully put the military ID card back into the box.
He knew very well that he was still a student and had never even attended a military academy. How could he be a captain as soon as he came up?
It is known that only outstanding graduates from the military academy can be awarded the title of lieutenant. After four more years of training in the army, he will be awarded the title of captain. If everything goes well, captains will all start at the age of 26.
Just entering the year 2000, I was only 20 years old.
Where can I meet the 20-year-old captain in peacetime?
He instinctively felt that it was impossible.
Zhang Zhaoxin said: "Comrade Su Dingping, this is true!"
"Impossible! I am only 20. I was just 20 today and 19 yesterday. How can there be a 20-year-old captain? .”
Su Dingping shook his head repeatedly.
“Don’t bully me. I haven’t seen that scene. How can a serious investiture ceremony be like this? The national flag, the military flag, the chief, and the comrades who are waiting for the investiture... I read it in the newspaper Been there.”
He thinks that even if he conquers the core technology of 956E, he won’t be directly awarded the title of captain, right?
There are many levels in between.
Besides, I didn’t come from a military academy, so it wouldn’t be so easy to ‘skip a grade’.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Sun Yongguo said.
"Comrade Su Dingping, Chief Xu personally handed this to me this morning."
"Chief Xu?" Su Dingping was stunned for a moment.
He thought that after Xu Dongguo came yesterday, he personally explained some things to Sun Yongguo before leaving.
Is this it?
"Is this really for me? You really didn't lie to me?"
He said this, but his body was still very honest, and his eyes kept lingering on the epaulette and military ID.
"Comrade Su Dingping, if it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't have called Colonel Zhang from the north to be a witness." Sun Yongguo explained, "With the four of us alone, the weight of conferring a title on you is huge. Not enough."
"There is one more thing you may not know."
"What?" Su Dingping looked at Sun Yongguo in surprise.
"I have contacted Dean Lu. They are making very good progress in improving the 051B. It won't be long before the improved 051B can be tested in the water! And all this is thanks to you!"
Sun Yongguo continued .
"They have been studying with you for a while, and with the research results reports you gave them, they are exploring their own path for our navy! For this alone, your contribution is very great! Not to mention, And the credit for conquering the core technology of 956E."
Su Dingping suddenly understood.
From the beginning, he believed that these top military industry experts had real materials. What is missing is just a gap in technical knowledge! There is nothing that can be done about it. Under the Western technology blockade, it is already very difficult to reach the 051B level.
Now, using 956E as an example, I have filled in the technical gaps for them, and everyone’s subsequent progress will be faster and faster.
"Dean, that is what Dean Lu and the others have accumulated. They are just missing an opportunity."
As soon as Su Dingping finished speaking, Sun Yongguo said.
"My family knows my own affairs. Comrade Su Dingping, you have single-handedly led all of us to make great strides forward. For our navy, your contribution is very great!"
"You are the real hero!"
The conversation changed and Sun Yongguo continued.
"Originally, Chief Xu wanted to come in person, but the outside world has been uneasy recently. It is not appropriate for Chief Xu to come, lest interested people draw their attention to this place."
"Don't have any ideas, either. Therefore, there is no decent awarding ceremony to protect you.”
“You also know that we have many unsung heroes whose identities will be kept strictly confidential for a long time.”
Sun Yongguo's eyes fell on Su Dingping and his tone was solemn: "And you, Comrade Su Dingping, will also become one of them."
"I understand!" Su Dingping said.
In previous lives, there were many examples of top military experts from certain countries being assassinated, and he knew it very well.
He picked up his military ID card again and held it tightly in his hand, unable to hide his excitement.
Question about military rank: I won’t write it if it’s too high, so I can only start at a lower level
