Youguo has an amazing memory, and he can see at a glance the new faces of the guests attending the dinner

Compared with six years ago, there are more Zhu Ronghui, Yang Jinjie, Jia Baoguo, Lin Jue, Le Jiacheng, Du Xinghua, Liu Haifeng, Lin Xiaolei and others, and two less, one is Kong Zhigao, who participated in the test flight of the army aviation unit's new armed helicopter and is still busy at a certain base in the northwest, and the other is Kang Xiaoting, who is testing special forces

Kong Zhigao couldn't come, Peng Maobang had already informed him

Why didn't Kang Xiaoting come?

It is impossible for Ji Youguo to forget the special forces who almost made him decide to extend the battle a year ago in order to cover the evacuation of his comrades-in-arms, divert the US special forces alone, and walk back to Pakistan from India on foot

Nodding to Wang Yuanqing, Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang took the guests to the restaurant

In order to entertain these soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield, not only did several chefs from the Führer's Mansion stay busy for a while, but they also arranged an extra table in the dining room

Finding Lu Chengwen, Wang Yuanqing asked about Kang Xiaoting's situation

"You go and ask him" Lu Cheng smiled bitterly and looked at Su Mingjin

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right

"Lao Kang can't come if he has something, let me thank the Führer for the invitation on his behalf," Su Ming sighed and didn't say anything more

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Yuanqing didn't ask much

After arriving at the restaurant, the officers of the Navy's submarines, fleets, and experimental special forces sat at one table, the pilots of the HNA and Air Force were seated at one table, Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang sat at the pilots' table, and Wang Yuanqing and Xiang Linghui were responsible for entertaining the other table of guests

As the chef brought the dishes, the banquet began in a warm atmosphere

"I'm still the usual sentence," Ji Youguo got up and raised a glass to the two tables, and the soldiers hurriedly stood up, "You don't have to be restrained, although you are still wearing military uniforms, but here, the guests are relaxed, enjoy a rare relaxing time, first of all, toast to the victory we have just achieved!" ”

Drinking the "white wine" in the cup, Ji Youguo frowned slightly, because it was white water

Pouring the second glass of wine, Ji Youguo first raised his glass, "Secondly, a toast to the recovery of Diaoyu Island!" ”

The soldiers drank it all again, and there was no white water in their cups

When he raised his glass for the third time, Ji Youguo paused slightly and said: "Originally, I should have toasted to the strength of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the nation, but in addition, I would like to add that I would like to toast to those martyrs who died on the battlefield and to those disabled heroes!" ”

"Cheers!" The emotions of the soldiers were mobilized

"Everyone knows that I have a stomach problem and can't drink alcohol Actually, this is not wine" Ji Youguo smiled, "I drink white water, I hope you can understand, but you don't drink white water, it's authentic Kweichow Moutai Mr. Peng is also here, the discipline of the venue is not my turn to formulate, I just hope that everyone can drink to the fullest, don't come with hope, but return with loss, and go back and say that I am very stingy as a head of state"

"The Führer is drunk without drinking," Peng Maobang also smiled and said, "Everyone heard the Führer's words?" ”

"Yes!" More than 20 soldiers stood up at once

"Here we go again" Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Peng means to let everyone relax and be casual, don't be so rigid except for me and Wang Yuanqing, all of us here are soldiers, everyone is like this, let's be dwarfed, everyone is free, today I am in charge, Mr. Peng said it doesn't count."

Hearing Ji Youguo's words, the soldiers all laughed

Those who came for the second time knew that Ji Youguo was a very easy-going person, and the people who came for the first time had a new understanding of the Führer

When the officers and soldiers had entered the state, Wang Yuanqing and Xiang Linghui persuaded Liang Guoxiang, who was sitting on Ji Youguo's right, and Jia Baoguo, who was sitting on Peng Maobang's left, to another table

Seeing that they were hindering the guests, Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang respectively signaled Wang Yuanqing and Xiang Linghui to entertain the guests, and then got up and left the restaurant and returned to the study

"It's worse than you think"

Ji Youguo's brows jumped a few times, and his expression suddenly became much more solemn

"Xiao Pan is still in Shanghai, I heard that he personally arrested a few spies a few days ago"

"Spies?" Ji Youguo hesitated for a moment, "Something to do with the country?" ”

Peng Maobang nodded, "Someone wanted to defect, the CIA sent someone to pick him up, and I called Xiao Pan as soon as he got off the plane, but he couldn't get through, probably still interrogated."

"Big shots?"

"I don't know, but if I can let Xiao Pan go out in person, it won't be so small."

Ji Youguo nodded slightly, "Let him deal with this matter, how about the situation in other parts of the country that we don't meddle in for the time being?" ”

"Everything that should be done has been done," Peng Maobang sighed, "You light the fire here, I'll put out the fire over there, it's okay, our preparations are very sufficient, and this war has also given us the opportunity to mobilize the army, and everything that should be arrested will be arrested, and the interrogation will be handed over to the Ministry of Public Security after the interrogation is over."

"Hurry up the implementation, don't fight a few big battles, others still think that there is only thunder and no rain"

"Is it raining lightly?" Peng Maobang smiled and said, "Listen to Lao Zhao, he mentioned it in the day."

Thousands of people, many people have not even been promoted to the third level, and Pang Xinglong hasn't been there these days, right? ”

"It's okay, basically didn't bother me"

"That's good, it seems that the central government's work is still in place"

"Last year's action was not in vain," Ji Youguo smiled coldly, "The focus this time is to check the localities and do all the work that should be done before the plenary congress next year."

"You want to get everything done before you leave office?" Peng Maobang looked a little surprised

Ji Youguo nodded slightly, and then said, "Have you talked to Lao Zhao?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Peng Maobang frowned slightly, "I just rushed back, I just talked to him on the phone, and I haven't met yet."

"I want you to do it again"

Peng Maobang let out a sigh and did not answer the Führer's words

"I know what you think" Ji Youguo picked up the cigarette, but he didn't rush to light it, "Over the past few decades, you and Lao Zhao have been at odds, but you are just incompatible in personality, not in conflict"

"Ji, I'm ......"

"Don't I know you and Lao Zhao yet?" Ji Youguo patted Peng Maobang's knee, "After decades of friendship, you are still comrades-in-arms who crawled out of the same trench, and you can even trust your lives, what big contradiction can there be?" You just have too much urgency and too straight temperament, you can't tolerate half a sand in your eyes, you can say whatever comes to mind, and you never think much about it I don't mean that your character is not good, as a soldier, you are very good

Lao Zhao is completely the opposite of you, slow temper, endure if you can, let you let go, think twice about what you do, I heard that when the recruits were on the ground, the two of you knew each other? ”

"A class, I'm the deputy squad leader, he's the squad leader"

"That's right, do you think it's necessary to carry Zhao for the rest of his life?"

Peng Maobang smiled and shook his head, still not nodding

"I asked you to stay, in fact, I was a little worried about Lao Zhao"

"Not sure?" Peng Maobang's brow jumped a few times

"I started to say, Lao Zhao Di's personality is too soft, sometimes it makes people feel indecisive When I'm here, I can still call him at all times, it's not a big problem when I retreat, except for you, who has the ability to influence him?"

"Lao Ji, you are not really retiring"

"Who said the ground?" Ji Youguo's expression changed, and he said, "I am in my sixties, I have worked hard for the country for most of my life, and I should go back to enjoy the blessings. I won't be fooled Niuniu is about to enter junior high school, I didn't discipline myself well when I was a child, so this girl is not afraid, I should be busy with my duties as a grandfather, and it's time to do something for myself."

"Old Ji, are you really?"

"You think I'm playing false?" Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head, "When I married your sister-in-law, my promise to take her to climb Mount Huashan was shelved for more than thirty years, and now I feel guilty when I think about it, I am also a human being, and my heart is also flesh and blood, so it is not wrong to have a little personal thoughts, right?" ”

Peng Maobang sighed, "I'm not talking about this, I just think it's ......"

"With you and Lao Zhao, what else do I need to worry about?"

"Ji, I'...... Ay! Peng Maobang sighed, "Yes, yes, I haven't won against you anyway, every time I am persuaded by you, I'll do it again."

"You promised? It's not child's play, it's better to think clearly."

"What else is there to think about, do you want me to bargain with you?" Peng Maobang shook his head with a smile, "Let's talk about my plans after retirement, go back to my hometown, or go back to the border area?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I won't go anywhere, and I'll go to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes"

"No, we're going to look for you then, what should we do?"

"What are you looking for me?" Ji Youguo laughed, "Could it be that you are such a big man, and you still want me to teach you?" ”

"Well, you pulled the topic away again, I mean, after you retreat, you have to take care of it for us, and when I retire, I will be a companion when the time comes, and I will have nothing to drink tea and chat or something, and pass the time."

"Companionship?" Ji Youguo laughed happily, "Brother and sister, and your big boy will let you run around with me, a crazy old man?" ”

"Don't mention that kid in my family, the mud can't support the wall" Peng Maobang sighed, "I won't tell you, a few days ago, I said what kind of military scientific research project I was engaged in, how much investment was pulled, and I was knocked out of the house, and it will be a question of whether I recognize me as a son in the future."

Ji Youguo smiled and patted Peng Maobang's shoulder

As far as Ji Youguo knows, the relationship between Peng Maobang and his son has always been very tense, mainly because Peng Maobang hopes that his son Peng Dingnan will join the army, and Peng Dingnan has no interest in joining the army

On the issue of treating children, Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang have diametrically opposite attitudes

No matter who is right or wrong, I can only say that I pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Damn it**

The distance with the third is a little closer, brothers continue to work hard! (To be continued)
