At the end of the green path, the antique wooden bungalow surrounded by maple trees is the place where the Führer usually works. The fifth head of state of the Republic, Ki Youguo, used to attend to his daily duties before sunset, and if there were no special matters, he would have dinner with his family, and then spend two hours with the first lady of the Republic tidying up the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, and telling his granddaughter a bedtime story at half past nine. On Saturday nights, he also tunes in to live basketball games. If he can't watch the game on time due to his busy schedule, he will ask his secretary to record the game and find time to watch it.

Except for the special status of the head of state, as well as the special treatment and busy official duties he enjoys, Ji Youguo's daily life is not much different from ordinary people. This caused him to be criticized by many people, and some even considered him not to be a qualified Führer and not worthy of the supreme leader of the republic at all.

In the three years since he took office, Ji Youguo has not made many innovations, let alone made any achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.

Only those who knew him well knew that this old man, who was over sixty years old, with a mediocre appearance, less than one hundred and sixty-five centimeters tall, thin and capable, was by no means as gentle and inactive as ordinary people understood, and what was beating in his chest was by no means an ordinary heart. Male lions need to go through several years of training before becoming lion kings, heroes need to endure humiliation before they can step onto the stage of history, and great people with great ambitions need to have an extraordinary mentality.

On this day, Ji Youguo had to give up his family life.

Thankfully, it's not Saturday.

Putting down the microphone of the phone, Ji Youguo said to Wang Yuanqing, the secretary who was helping him pack up the documents: "Xiao Wang, don't pack the documents, wait for General Peng Maobang to come over." You go and prepare some fruit and snacks, and brew two cups of new tea from Xiao Ji. By the way, you say hello to the doorman, and when General Peng arrives, let him come directly here. ”

"Need to say hello to Madame?" Wang Yuanqing put down the document in his hand.

Koyoshi is the only daughter of the Führer, Ji Koji, after returning from studying abroad, she worked at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China, and is now a senior researcher. Because Ji Youguo didn't use his influence to let his daughter get special treatment, after Qingming, she never came again, probably because she was angry with her father.

As the personal secretary of the Führer, Wang Yuanqing is not only Ji Youguo's main assistant, but also half of Ji Youguo's family members.

"Of course you do, otherwise your Aunt Qin will have to make irresponsible remarks again." Ji Youguo smiled and said, "When you're done, you can go home, there's nothing to do here at night." ”

"It's fine. I didn't have much to do when I went back in the evening. ”

"That's right. Didn't your Aunt Qin introduce you to an object? Where has the relationship got? ”

"Chief. We're just ordinary friends. It's not like that. Wang Yuanqing's face immediately turned red. He looked very shy.

"You're not too small. Thirty-four, right? I was at your age. Xiao Jidu is about to enter elementary school. Ji Youguo said. While picking up a cigarette in a sandalwood box. Wang Yuanqing immediately took out a lighter. Helped the Führer light a cigarette. "Nothing to be embarrassed about. You've been following me for almost twelve years, haven't you? I've always treated you like half a son. Start a family early. Have another child. It also gives your parents peace of mind. After all. The older generation is more conservative. You are the only child in the family. Until now, I have not married and had children. How does this work? ”

"Chief. I'm done. I'll bring you the fruit snack later. ”

"After going back. Remember to give the other person a call. Make an appointment to come out for a meal. Feelings should be cultivated slowly. ”

Seeing Wang Yuanqing running out in a panic, Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile. He knew that Wang Yuanqing had not been looking for a partner, not because he couldn't find a suitable partner, but because he didn't want to have a negative impact on him. As the personal secretary of the head of state, Wang Yuanqing can also be regarded as the focal point of the republic.

After about ten minutes, the guards brought in fruits, pastries, and two cups of water that had not yet been brewed.

Wang Yuanqing definitely didn't go home from work, he just didn't want to be talked about by the head of state about falling in love, so he didn't send things over in person.

After a while, there was a sonorous and rhythmic footsteps outside the door.

There is no need to guess, Ji Youguo knows that it is Peng Maobang who is coming, and only the best soldiers can make such a special and distinctive footsteps.

"Chief's ......"

When the door opened, Ji Youguo had already walked to the door. "General Peng, you're here. Have you had dinner? ”

"Ate on the way, let the chief wait for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just done. By the way, there won't be any trouble on Madame's side, right? ”

"Haha......" Peng Maobang laughed heartily, and at the same time waved his hand to the secretary who followed up, and let the secretary leave the Führer's study. It's okay, I called home when I went out. ”

"Sit, please." As he spoke, Ji Youguo also gave the guard by the door a look and asked the guard to close the door. "This is this year's Ming Qian Longjing, and the little Ji Na doll is angry with me and only gave me a small box. If it were someone else, I would be reluctant to take it out for hospitality. ”

"Lao Ji, you're too polite." No one else was present, and Peng Maobang changed his name.

"Where, I don't usually like to drink tea, and I use it to entertain guests." Ji Youguo made two cups of tea before sitting down on the chair next to Peng Maobang. "Lao Peng, is there any news about the matter over there?"

Hearing this, Peng Maobang's expression immediately became serious, and he immediately took out the red-headed document from his pocket. "I received it before I got off work, and I rushed over immediately. The goods have arrived and are in transit, but something went wrong in the operation and a backup plan must be taken. ”

"What's the problem?" Ji Youguo's expression also became extremely grim.

"Three pilots were killed, and one was seriously wounded; loss of one carrier-based helicopter; In addition, the submarine that went to meet it was also attacked by a US nuclear submarine and was damaged. ”

"How's the wounded doing?"

"It's not serious, I've passed the dangerous period, I don't miss arms or legs, and I can still serve after recovery."

"What about the submarine, can you come back safely?"

Peng hesitated slightly, then nodded. "It is definitely not possible to return to the sea directly, this matter has already attracted the attention of the United States, and the US military has lost a nuclear submarine."

"Crossfire!?" Ji Youguo didn't panic at all, just a little surprised.

"There was an exchange of fire, and there was a second American submarine, most likely a 'Seawolf'. However, now the American submarine has been freed, but it cannot return directly, and a backup plan must be adopted. ”

After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo said: "It is not enough to just adopt a backup plan, every effort must be made to eliminate all relevant clues, and the United States must not be allowed to point the finger at us." ”

"Rest assured, the American submarine sank to a depth of more than 5,000 meters and had disintegrated when it sank. With today's technology, it is simply impossible to salvage the debris. In addition, I have asked people to revise last year's exercise record, and all the torpedoes on the 'Gun Squid' are included in the list of ammunition consumed by the exercise, and even if the United States can get some debris from the warring waters, there is no way to put on our heads. ”

"It's not enough." Ji Youguo shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "The escort fleet must also make relevant arrangements, and it must be done strictly." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Didn't we lose one carrier-based helicopter and sacrifice three pilots?"

"This ......," Peng Maobang suddenly understood, "you mean, directing a pirate attack?" ”

"Arrange it as soon as possible, and don't show any clues. By the way, when was the battle fought? ”

"Two and a half days ago."

Ji Youguo touched his chin and pondered for a while before he let out a sigh.

"Old Ji, let's arrange it now, is it too late?" Peng Maobang was also a little confused, because he overlooked a very crucial detail.

This cannot be blamed on Peng Maobang. Because the operation was very close and required absolute secrecy, and less than 10 people participated in the formulation of the action plan, and most of them were loyal senior generals, and there was not a single staff officer, so it was inevitable that small problems would arise during the operation.

"No, it's not too late." Ji Youguo stood up and walked back and forth in the room a few times before stopping in front of Peng Maobang. "After two and a half days, if the U.S. side contacts us about this matter, the U.S. president will definitely test my attitude through the hotline. The fact that the president of the United States has not called until now shows that the US government still does not know who Cheng Biting Jin is who he killed halfway. Even if the U.S. government will focus on suspecting us, as long as there is no evidence, they will not dare to mess around. ”

Peng Maobang was convinced of Ji Youguo's analysis.

"Arrange the aftermath as soon as possible according to the instructions I started, and in addition, don't raise the security level." Ji Youguo smiled slightly and said, "The United States will definitely make a big move, and even suspect that its allies are making trouble behind their backs." As the object of suspicion in the United States expands and targets more countries, some people naturally jump out to make trouble. As long as the goods return to China, we will not be afraid of any tricks that the United States will do. ”

"I'll deal with it right away." Peng Maobang immediately stood up.

"How many years have it been, and it's still like this?" Ji Youguo laughed, "It's okay, arrange things as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." In addition, remember to arrange the domestic delivery work, so that the experimental center can make relevant preparations, and after the goods arrive, they will be inspected immediately. ”

"I'll make the relevant arrangements when I go back. Lao Ji, I'll say goodbye first, otherwise my sister-in-law will say that I don't care about your old stomach disease and often come to bother you. ”

"It's okay, you still don't understand, your sister-in-law is a knife-mouthed tofu heart. If you go all the way, I won't send it. ”

Instructing the guards to escort Peng Maobang out of the Führer's Mansion, Ji Youguo returned to his study, closed the door, lit a cigarette, and walked behind the window on the west side.

Looking at the sunset in the west, Ji Youguo couldn't predict what the republic would look like tomorrow, he only knew that a new era belonging to the republic might be about to open in his own hands.

When the lion of the East, which has been sleeping for more than 100 years, wakes up from its sleep, the whole world will bow down before it
