Chapter 100
"Captain Meng Fei, is it going well today?"
When the frigate approached and stopped, Captain Xu stood on the deck and asked Meng Fei.
"Thank Captain Xu for your concern. Today is very smooth. Are you responsible for the patrol mission in this area again?"
Captain Xu looked at the cod that had been covered with decks before he could clean up and said, "Yes, it seems that your cabin is full again. I think I will buy a fishing boat to catch fish after retirement. I will definitely make a fortune like Captain Meng Fei."
"Now the sea of the whole world belongs to our empire, and no matter who it is, you can make a fortune."
"When I left the port just now, Yuyuan City had already received the news that it was about to expand its troops. The army and the navy had expanded its personnel on a large scale. I know that you have always hoped that you could join the army and avenge your parents. I happened to meet you, so I came up to tell you, afraid that you would miss this opportunity. You also know that many people have the intention to join the army. There are many people in the army, and even fewer people are allocated to our Yuyuan City. If you go late, you may not be able to catch up with this recruitment."
It seems that Captain Xu is also enthusiastic. He knows Meng Fei clearly when he is with the same sea. When he received the conscription order, he immediately told Meng Fei who had been looking forward to this day.
"Really?" Meng Fei asked in disbelief.
"It's true. I believe that everyone in Yuyuan City will soon find out. If it's too late, you won't be able to catch up." said the adjutant standing next to Captain Xu.
"Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Huzi, don't worry about the fish on the deck, hurry up and go home. I want to join the army, I want to be a navy, and avenge my parents."
The excited Meng Fei forgot to thank Captain Xu, who specially sent the message, jumped over the fish on the deck and hurriedly ran towards the cockpit.
"Captain is crazy?" Xiao Liuzi said in confusion.
"It's indeed crazy." Xiaohuzi said affirmatively.
The two shrugged at the same time and continued to pack up the fish on the deck, regardless of where the captain would drive the boat.
The fishing boat slowly started and slowly moved around.
"Captain Xu, thank you for the message you sent. When you are over this patrol mission, I will invite you to the first floor to have a drink. You must ask me to invite you to a guest and express your gratitude."
After the ship sailed for a while, Meng Fei reacted and stretched out his head and shouted loudly to Captain Xu on the deck of the frigate not far away.
"Captain Meng, when you successfully join the navy, I will ask you for this wedding banquet. I hope you have good news. Remember, after returning to the port, go directly to the military port, and the recruitment site is located there."
"Thank you, Captain Xu."
The fishing boat slowly accelerated and left, gradually drifting until it disappeared on the sea.
Yuyuancheng Military Port, the imperial conscription site was established here.
The people who received the news first had already lined up. Meng Fei could only stand at the end when he arrived. He was silently glad that he had received the news early enough, and he had to thank Captain Xu for his help.
There were young men running towards this place in the distance, and the team in front of the recruitment site was slowly extending to the distance.
"The announcement stated that only 1,000 soldiers, 200 army and 800 navy were recruited in our Yuyuan City."
The people in the team who have read government announcements were the first to say.
"Yes, our city can have more than 100,000 people, not including the towns below. The number of people is too small, not enough for us to allocate them." Someone in the team sighed.
"Then is there any way that anyone is willing to serve the empire. Without the empire, how can we live now? And now there are too many people and too few soldiers. I hope we can be selected."
"We came earlier and had a better chance, so the people behind us may not be able to join the army this time."
People who came early near Meng Fei were all grateful to him when they heard this.
The officers who recruited the troops were ready and shouted loudly at the long team: "Friends, I believe everyone knows the purpose of coming here and have read the announcement. However, this time the quota is limited, so we can only select the best, and the villagers who failed to be selected do not have to be discouraged. If this time, there will be next time. Now we start recruiting soldiers. You must report all the questions we asked truthfully. Do you understand?"
Uneven answers came from the team, and the "I understand" sounded one after another for a while before I stopped.
With a series of problems, plus ID cards, some people in front of them are happy and some are worried.
It was Meng Fei's turn soon.
"Name, origin, occupation, family member, cultural level, age, and why join the army?"
"Meng Fei, whose ancestral home is Fujian, currently lives in No. 35 Chunfeng Road, Yuyuan City. He is currently a professional fishing boat captain. He has been working in the sea for more than ten years. He also has a first wife in his family, a man and a woman. Through self-study, he has successfully mastered primary school knowledge. He is currently teaching the knowledge of the second grade of junior high school. He is 24 years old this year. In order to serve the empire and to avenge my old parents, my parents died at the hands of the Spanish when they were in Fujian."
Several officers in charge of recruiting soldiers lowered their heads and talked for a few words, then looked at Meng Fei's dark and strong figure, and nodded one after another.
"Meng Fei, you have passed the primary election initially. You should be glad that the Imperial Navy will recruit most of the naval soldiers in Yuyuan City, but if you can't perform well in the recruit training camp, you will still be returned to your hometown, do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you, Chief."
Meng Fei jumped three feet high excitedly, then saluted the military salute as if it were, and thanked the officers happily.
The person in charge immediately replied with a military salute and said, "Congratulations to Meng Fei, I have heard of you, but when you go back, you must do your wife's ideological work. If she doesn't want you to go, you must not go against her wishes."
"Yes, Chief, I believe she will support me."
After saying that, he immediately said goodbye to several officers, turned around and ran home.
"Captain, Captain!"
Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Huzi followed Meng Fei from afar and shouted loudly.
"What are the two brats doing?"
"Captain, when can you run so fast? We can't catch up with you. As soon as we arrived at the military port, we saw you running home." Xiaohuzi asked angrily.
"I have always been so capable of running. I am about to be a navy soldier and will be able to run even more in the future." Meng Fei couldn't hide the excited expression on his face and said excitedly.
"Captain, did you succeed?"
"Of course, I don't look at who I am, your captain."
"What should we do then? We are not old enough and cannot join the army, so we can only wait for the next chance." Xiao Liuzi was quite dissatisfied with her age being one year younger.
"I will discuss with your sister-in-law that you can rent the fishing boat to you for fishing. Just pay a small amount of rent. Anyway, you have learned everything on the boat. Make some money first, then get a wife, and then join the army if you have the chance."
"That's all." Xiao Liuzi turned around and straightened his back, and said proudly to Xiao Huzi: "Please call me the captain in the future."
"I am the captain." Xiaohuzi said dissatisfied.
Meng Fei went home quickly regardless of the noisy two people.
