    Navy sailors are also sailors, and the biggest characteristic of sailors is that they have to endure the boredom of sailing at sea for a long time.  For example, sailors generally set sail for how long, and then rest in port for how long after returning.  For a global navy like the United States, the opportunity to dock in other countries' ports is very valuable to sailors.  Usually the officers on the ship would give the sailors a holiday and return to their ships before midnight or whenever.

    Sailors who have been lonely for too long are often not a good person. In addition to the stray women who like to patronize port cities, they may also enter casinos to have a good time, and more often, they will drink in bars specially opened for sailors.

    The Chinese Navy is not accustomed to this model. It is only recently that it has started sending naval personnel to visit, and this is the first time it has visited Hawaii.  However, Dan Dade was still very open-minded and allowed the sailors to visit the towns near Pearl Harbor. However, before letting these sailors go, he repeatedly required them to be disciplinary and not to disturb the people, not to commit crimes, and not to follow the local people.  people or sailors of other countries.

    The sailors also received a subsidy for the voyage, which this time was all in U.S. dollars. Although the amount was not large, it was a very valuable asset when the entire country was short of foreign exchange.  Many sailors didn't even put any money on them when they disembarked, or they gave it to the political commissar on the ship to take care of it, or they hid it under their beds, thinking of taking it back home and buying some in the Sino-foreign friendship stores that still existed at that time.  Give rare items to your family, or directly exchange them into RMB to subsidize your family.

    There are also some sailors who plan to buy some souvenirs or useful things directly at Pearl Harbor. Although the domestic market has gradually become plentiful with things such as electrical appliances, the custom of buying things after going abroad will never change.

    Because of their collective nature, sailors basically work in their own teams. Although they wear military uniforms that look similar to or even better than those of Western sailors, their behavior is quite restrained and they look trembling.  The only ones competing with them were the sailors from the Sea of ??Japan, who also looked very restrained.

    With its pleasant climate and picturesque scenery, Hawaii is indeed a tourist attraction. The Chinese sailors holding cameras have well developed the characteristics of later generations of Chinese tourists, doing two major things: taking pictures and shopping.  Of course, there are some people who are more special. For example, Navy Corporal Qin Zhizhang, as a young man in the capital, has a strong literary temperament. After arriving at Pearl Harbor, he did not go shopping with his friends, but came to the famous Arizona alone.  Battleship Memorial.

    The USS Arizona Memorial is probably the most unique naval memorial in the world. In the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, this once iconic battleship of the U.S. Pacific Fleet was sunk. After the war, in order to commemorate the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States  People built this memorial directly on top of the sunk battleship.

    Qin Zhizhang was currently in the memorial hall, holding on to the railing and looking down at the battleship like a lurking whale.  Under the clear water, the outline of this behemoth was clearly visible, and the heavily rusted chimney was covered with debris that was either rust or aquatic weeds.  The ship's superstructure and turret have been demolished, and only the spindle-shaped hull still reminds people of the pain of past wars.

    After joining the Navy, Qin Zhizhang quickly learned to operate the weapon system of the 054A frigate because of his relatively high level of knowledge and strong learning ability.  Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to petty officer after his military rank was restored. Not surprisingly, he will be a navy man for the rest of his life.

    Qin Zhizhang did not have a deep understanding of the navy at the beginning. It was not until after joining the army that he came into contact with hundreds of years of naval war history that he developed a persistence and love for this service.  Since modern times, China has never had a powerful and respected navy. A battle as epic as the Xisha Sea Battle is just a drop in the ocean in the history of world naval forces and cannot be considered a real victory.  The navy focuses on tradition and inheritance. The Republic's navy is still too young and lacks foundation and tradition.

    Last year, the navy began to equip a large number of new ships. Qin Zhizhang was quite excited and excited at that time. Now he knows very well that the Chinese navy may not be among the best in the world, but the combat capability of a single ship is definitely one of the best.  As time goes by, as the country becomes more prosperous and powerful, the navy will definitely become more powerful.

    While Qin Zhizhang was holding on to the railing and deep in thought, someone said next to him in English: "She is really depressing."

    Qin Zhizhang turned around and saw a tall, muscular sailor with blond hair. From his uniform, he could tell that he was an Australian sailor. He couldn't speak Australian English without herding sheep.

    Qin Zhizhang also worked hard to learn English. Although his accent is not very standard, there is not much difficulty in communication. He said: "She carries the history of a country's navy. Although she is buried here, she is full of honors."?.  "

    The Australian sailor nodded, stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "My name is Denton, private first class of the Royal Australian Navy."

    "Qin Zhizhang, a corporal of the Chinese PLA Navy."

    Denton smiled and said: "For us, your Chinese Navy is very mysterious. This is your first time coming to Hawaii to participate in RIMPAC."

    Qin Zhizhang smiled slightly, appearing reserved but not arrogant, "Maybe I will come here more often in the future. By the way, it is not only the Chinese navy that is mysterious in your eyes."

    "Haha, you are right, your entire country is mysterious." Denton smiled heartily.

    Denton said to him again: "Your battleship is so beautiful, and its combat power is much stronger than the frigate we got from the United States. You are such a happy guy."

    "Are you on board the Darwin?"

    "Yes, what about you?"

    "Jiaxing frigate, we also serve on the frigate."

    Denton was quite pleased, patted Qin Zhizhang, who was a head shorter than him, and said: "Let's go, man, I'll treat you to a drink at EM Club. I heard from friends who have been to Hawaii before that the girls there are very enthusiastic.  "

    Qin Zhizhang was obviously not used to such things. He frowned and said, "But we have regulations and you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the mission. Well, having an inappropriate relationship with a woman is a serious mistake."

    After hearing what he said, Denton burst into laughter: "Brother, you Chinese are so interesting. You have banned alcohol after such a long voyage, and you are not allowed to touch girls. So how do you solve your needs? Are you going to come to each other, haha?"

    Qin Zhizhang was not happy after hearing this and looked a little bad. When Denton found out, he apologized and said: "Haha, there is no malice, it's just a joke. It seems that China is really as conservative as the rumors say.  "

    Qin Zhizhang nodded and said: "In my country, premarital sex is considered morally corrupt, and the management in our army is also very strict. Although alcohol is not completely prohibited, it needs to be divided into occasions."

    Denton pouted and said, "Fortunately, I'm not Chinese."

    He smiled and said: "Although drinking and having sex with women is not acceptable, it would be good to go to EM Club to drink a few glasses of juice, taste the Hawaiian food there, and maybe meet a beautiful girl to chat with. Brother, life  Don¡¯t be too restrained, it will ruin all the fun.¡±

    Qin Zhizhang felt that his political commissar had a pair of white wings above his head and shouted loudly: "Comrade Qin Zhizhang, don't go with him. These lackeys of the capitalist country want to corrupt good comrades like you and disintegrate them."  The fighting spirit of our people¡¯s army! Don¡¯t fall into the enemy¡¯s trap!¡±

    But the young man¡¯s curiosity still outweighed his concerns, and Qin Zhizhang, accompanied by Denton, entered a small bar specially opened for the navy.  There are seemingly simple small tables here. There are sailors from different countries on the bar drinking tequila, Scotch whiskey or vodka. There are even a few Japanese sailors hiding in a corner drinking beer.  There are often young girls hanging out in bars, and many of them hope to meet a handsome man. Uniform control exists in every country.

    Everything here seemed novel, and the people in the bar felt very novel when they saw the appearance of a Chinese.  Because China's navy uniforms have obvious traces of the Soviet Union, that is, the blue-striped sea soul shirt, and then the flat sailor hat with ribbons, which is very different from all Western sailor uniforms.

    Maybe it¡¯s because the Chinese Navy¡¯s impressive appearance is why the sailors here didn¡¯t show any obvious hostility towards Qin Zhizhang, but Qin Zhizhang could still clearly feel an out-of-place atmosphere here.

    The bartender here is a Chinese. With a big smile, he said in Cantonese that Qin Zhizhang couldn't understand at all: "I'll buy you a drink. What do you want to drink?"

    After roughly understanding what he meant, Qin Zhizhang waved his hand and said, "You can't drink. We have regulations not to drink."

    An American sailor at the bar laughed after hearing this: "Why are you here if you don't drink? Are you looking for a woman to lose your virginity?"

    Qin Zhizhang¡¯s face turned red. Danton came to his rescue and said, ¡°Hey, watch your mouth and be polite!¡±

    The American sailor continued to laugh: "So you don't like women but like men, you idiot!"

    Denton stood up, his nearly 1.9-meter-tall figure very intimidating: "Can you say it again?"

    The Chinese bartender came out to smooth things over and said, "Guys, don't do this. How about I buy you a drink?"

    Qin Zhizhang was also afraid that he would not be able to explain after a real fight and returned to the ship. He grabbed Denton and said with strong momentum: "As a soldier, the place where you can best express your value is not the wine table or the bed, but on the sea."???It's settled.  "

    The Chinese bartender raised his thumb and said in Cantonese: "What a man!"

    Several American sailors responded mockingly: "Really? I hope you little loaches from communist countries can successfully win a subject in the exercise."

    Qin Zhizhang frowned and said, "You will know how ridiculous your words are when you are beaten all over the place."

    After saying that, he had no intention of staying any longer and strode out of the club.  Denton wanted to stop him, but Qin Zhizhang gave him an apologetic smile and said: "I'm afraid this place is not suitable for me to stay, but thank you very much, Denton. See you later. If you have the opportunity to come to China, I will treat you to roast duck."  ¡±
