Preface 19 The Soul of the Nation

Walking into the West Garden of the Fuhrer's Capital, Hua Jianfeng immediately felt an atmosphere that was both solemn and majestic......

Like him, the other dozen or so soldiers wearing the uniforms of the army, navy, and air force were also cautious, and every step they took was very cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing the master here.

When he received the news, Hua Jianfeng was participating in the maintenance work of the "Gun Squid" in the submarine base. As a result, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, he was taken to a helicopter, and then put on a special plane of naval aviation. Fortunately, the man who came to pick him up was more thoughtful and brought him a brand new set of naval uniforms, otherwise he would have to wear oily overalls to the Führer's reception.

"Everyone, please go to the parlor and sit down for a while, and then I'll invite you to the banquet."

Under the leadership of Wang Yuanqing, a group of mermaids entered the living room.

"Lao Hua, are you here too?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Hua Jianfeng recognized Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen in military uniforms and Lu Chengwen in combat uniforms are simply two people, both in body shape and temperament, there is a big difference.

"yes, I was invited suddenly."

"Isn't this Captain Hua?" At this time, a second person came over.

"By the way, I'll introduce you." Lu Chengwen immediately stepped aside, looked at the colonel officer who came and said, "This is Xiang Linghui, our colonel captain." This is ......"

"Yes, I've known each other for a long time." Xiang Linghui took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Old item. You've changed a lot. I don't even recognize it. Only then did Hua Jianfeng recognize Xiang Linghui. They do know. They also cooperated in a joint exercise between the three armed forces last year.

Soon. Under the introduction of Lu Chengwen. Hua Jianfeng got to know these officers.

That burly man. At a glance, you can tell that it is Kang Xiaoting; Tall and thin. Not like the military. More like a scholar, Su Mingjin; Visibly injured. is still on crutches is Kong Zhigao; Standing next to Kong Zhigao, another pilot of the naval aviation carrier-based aviation unit was Yan Yunxiang; Wearing a set of naval cadet uniforms without epaulettes. has been talking about Cao Xuehua; Lively personality from the countryside. The place that took the initiative to introduce himself was Di Boqing from the shore-based aviation unit of the Hainan Airlines; Among the two pilots introduced by Di Boqing. Introverted is Liang Guoxiang. The calm personality is Hong Xueliang.

Gradually. All officers found out. They were linked by a special operation.

After getting to know each other and getting acquainted with each other. The atmosphere in the living room gradually became lively.

At this time. Ji Youguo was on his way back to the head of state.

The sudden arrival of US Secretary of State Lynch disrupted Ji Youguo's arrangement. If it weren't for Foreign Minister Huang Guowei's temporary trip to Islamabad, Pang Xinglong's arrangements for government work, and the premier's bedridden, Ji Youguo would really want to throw this "distinguished guest" who came from afar on behalf of the US president to the State Department's state guest reception office.

After receiving Jappel's hotline, Ji Youguo knew that the United States was already suspicious.

If in the past, Ji Youguo would still be worried, after all, the current republic does not have the capital to call out the United States. This time it was completely different, especially after getting Peng Maobang's report, Ji Youguo's confidence was more sufficient. During the short two-hour meeting, Ji Youguo kept emphasizing the sovereignty and dignity of the Republic and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Japan. Of course, Ji Youguo did not close the door to negotiations, but only raised the asking price. As for what to do with it later, Ji Youguo doesn't care, it should be the troubles of Japelle and Aso.

Along the way, Ji Youguo was reminiscing about the meeting with Lynch.

There are no flaws, and there is no contrived appearance. If you are too weak, you will seem to have scruples. If it is too tough, it will give the other party a feeling of wanting to cover up and have no fear. Only with the right grasp can Japel continue to be suspicious and unable to draw conclusions immediately.

Ji Youguo knew that this matter could not be hidden from the United States for long.

Now, all the republic needs is a little time, maybe two years, maybe three years, five years at most.

Five years later, even if the United States knew that the goods had fallen into the hands of the Republic, it could only swallow its anger and quietly swallow the bitter fruit.

Thinking of this, Ji Youguo showed a hint of a smile.

When Ji Youguo returned to the head of state's capital, Wang Yuanqing was already waiting by the gate.

"Have all the people arrived?"

"General Peng hasn't arrived yet, everyone else has come, I'll let them rest in the living room."

"Lao Peng is never late, let the kitchen prepare for dinner." Ji Youguo quickened his pace. "By the way, are the two bottles of Moutai that your Aunt Qin's student gave you last time still there?"

"It seems to be still there, I'll look for it."

"Also, send someone to buy a few more bottles and come back. Those soldiers, especially the officers of the special forces, are all masters of the 'alcohol test', and if they don't drink enough, they will say that I am too mean to be hospitable. ”

"Chief, two bottles should be enough, right?"

"Hehe, are you afraid of me drinking bars?" Ji Youguo immediately laughed, "Don't worry, I'm just watching them drink." General Peng has always boasted that the soldiers are very good at drinking, and I want to see how good they really are. ”

Wang Yuanqing didn't say more, and as soon as he arrived at Xipu Garden, he asked two guards to buy wine.

Peng Maobang was the last to arrive, and the dinner officially began.

To be honest, the "state banquet" of the Führer was really not very good. Thirteen people, thirteen dishes, and each dish is relatively delicate, not quite to the appetite of those soldiers. What makes many people even more unappetizing is that most of the dishes are vegetarian-based, and there are not a few oil stars. It wasn't until the guards sent two boxes of twelve bottles of Moutai, plus two bottles of 20-year-old mellow Moutai, that more than a dozen guests were suddenly interested and interested.

"Let's raise a glass together." As he spoke, Ji Youguo stood up first, and the other twelve people immediately stood up in unison. "Relax, everyone, it's just an ordinary family dinner, not a formal occasion. Otherwise, I think you soldiers are working together to bully me, a little old man. ”

"The chief likes to joke, everyone is free to order."

After Peng Maobang said this, the eleven officers laughed.

"First of all, I would like to thank all of you, on behalf of the Republic and all the compatriots of the Chinese nation." As soon as Ji Youguo's words came out, the room immediately became quiet, and the atmosphere became very solemn. "Here, I can only express my gratitude to you with this glass of wine. I can't award you medals, and I can't put your deeds in your files. The reason is clear to everyone, so I won't explain it much. Thank you! ”

Twelve servicemen were excited at the same time, and a simple "thank you" was more valuable than any medal.

"Perhaps, history will not remember today. In the future, there will be no 16k novel wàp. text version of the first publisher to treat today as a memorable day. I just believe that with you, with the selfless dedication and hard work of the republican people, starting today, the history of the Republic will change, and the Chinese nation will also embark on a new road of development. The republican people who participated in this operation, especially those sitting here, are all well-deserved national heroes and national heroes. Comrades, great work! ”

"Serve the country, serve the people!" Twelve soldiers raised their glasses at the same time.

"Don't worry, I'll have a good drink later." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "With your efforts, the Republic and the Chinese nation have gained a rare opportunity for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years. It's just that the real battle has just begun, and the road behind will still be extremely difficult, extremely bumpy, and full of thorns. As we raise our glasses to celebrate victory, we must not forget the humiliation and sinking of the Chinese nation over the past century or so, the difficulties and obstacles of the Chinese nation on the road to rejuvenation, and still less the heavy historical tasks entrusted to us by the state and the nation. To paraphrase the old saying, 'the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard'. This glass of wine is not only used to celebrate the victory we have achieved, but also to encourage you, in the days and nights to come, I hope that you will remember the oath you have made, and do your best for the country and the nation! ”

"Do your best for the country and the nation!"

Before Wang Yuanqing could stop it, Ji Youguo drained the liquor in the cup in one gulp.

"Lao Ji, your stomach problem ......" Peng Maobang was also startled. Ji Youguo has a history of stomach problems for more than 20 years, and he has long been unable to drink.

"It's okay, it's okay, just a small cup!" Ji Youguo smiled and sat down first, "It's been twenty-three years, and it's the first time I've drunk wine, and it tastes really good." Everyone, you're welcome, everyone have fun. Lao Peng, today you are the wine commander, help me entertain guests, if someone is not happy to drink, I will deduct your allowance for the next month. ”

The eleven officers present were both excited, but also felt that the Führer was not as stern as expected, but was very kind.

Halfway through the banquet, Ji Youguo quietly slipped out in the name of Xiaojie. Wang Yuanqing also wanted Ji Youguo to leave the table for a long time, and he hurriedly followed.

"Xiao Wang, you have to keep a secret for me." Ji Youguo stopped in the pavilion in the garden. "Don't tell Aunt Qin about my drinking, or I'll be in trouble."

"Chief, you're not in good health, so you shouldn't have been drinking."

"Happy, happy!" Ji Youguo sat down on the stone bench, "For more than a hundred years, in order to get a chance for national rejuvenation, countless martyrs have followed one after another, and they have died. Now, we finally have this opportunity, you say, can I not be happy, can I not be excited? ”

"But you can't spoil your body."

"A small cup, out of the way." Ji Youguo asked Wang Yuanqing to sit down on the stone bench next to him. "Xiao Wang, how is your matter?"

"What's the matter?" Wang Yuanqing felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Do you need to say it? Why, are you not very satisfied with the person introduced by Aunt Qin? ”

"Chief, we've already told you about it, I'm ......"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it. As long as you don't tell the truth, I won't mention it again. ”

"Chief, you ......" Wang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, "You are so cunning, you are ......"

"Hehe......" Ji Youguo laughed out loud.

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky and listening to the sound of wine orders coming from the dining room, Ji Youguo's thoughts gradually flew to the sky and to the distant future.

He sees that in the near future the situation in the world will be violently turbulent.

He saw that in the near future, the Chinese nation will once again stand tall at the top of the world.
