Chapter 123: Growing Up or Decaying in One Night (Part II)

As the son of the Federation War God, Lee Jae-do began to carry the glory and pressure of the family as soon as he was born, and as Li Pifu changed from a Federation battle hero to the commander of the 17th Division, and then became the Federation God of the Megatron Universe, the glory and pressure he endured increased day by day, but it is very unfortunate that he has never been able to show the ability to match this glory pressure on the battlefield.

If it is replaced by another second-generation character, under the pressure of this completely crazy sense of loss, he may give up on himself and even become crazy and indulgent.

But Lee Jae-do didn't, he accepted the reality very calmly, and after turning to a civilian position, he started as an ordinary instructor at the First Military Academy, and gradually became an associate professor, a faculty member, a department head, a vice dean, and a dean with his outstanding knowledge and excellent qualities.

Except for a short period of time in the military, Lee Jae-do's military career was basically spent in the First Military Academy, and now countless young Zhuang officers in the federal army have received his teachings.

General Lee Jae-do is extremely low-key, which is a common perception in federal politics and the military, but low-key does not mean incompetence, one point is very worth pondering, those military bigwigs who come and go to the Lee family in Philadelphia, when he was young, no one dared to despise him, and used to communicate with an equal attitude.

This is related to his family background, but even more so because these former military bigwigs who are gradually fading out of the stage of history have long found that the marshal never seems to have doubted the excellence and character of his son, and this kind of trust between strict father and young son is very rare, and even shocking and thought-provoking.

There are two bigwigs in the federal military who are known for their mildness and gentleness, one is Defense Minister Zou Yingxing, and the other is Lee Jae-do, who is about to officially take over the post of chairman of the Federal Staff Council.

The Union Army, which had grown rapidly with the war, and had begun to show its own will and become militant on a certain historical trajectory, should have entered the next era smoothly and gently under the control of these two scholarly tycoons, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The next day, the black coffin covered with the military flag was transported back to Philadelphia by special plane, but Lee Jae-do surprisingly did not go back, but took a special car to the Army Convention Center in the northern city of the capital SAR.

At the iron gate, the gendarmes raised their guns to their chests and saluted the general.

The general smiled gently, stepped in, and walked inward along the quiet and far-reaching corridor of the conference center.

He had never fallen asleep, and after sitting by the coffin all night, there was no trace of fatigue on his face, and his body in a dark green military uniform was straighter than ever, and it became more and more straight as he moved forward.

At this moment, he is like a person who has carried tens of millions of tons of heavy mountain peaks on his shoulders for many years, suddenly unloaded all his weight, and began to move forward lightly with confidence, and like a weak man who has stood silently beside his father for many years, and suddenly grew up to be a * person overnight.

In front of the closed door of the conference room, Li Zaidao gently pushed the door open, saw familiar faces, and couldn't help but smile slightly, there were seven people sitting scattered in the large conference room, and any one of these seven people was enough to affect the overall situation of the federation in some aspects.

Cui Judong, acting director of the Charter Bureau, stood up, stretched out his hands to hold his hand, and said softly and sincerely: "Please mourn ......."

The deputy commander of the Second Military Region stood up and saluted with a snap.

Everyone in the conference room stood up, and finally the fat old man sitting in the middle was kind-eyed, who slowly got up, held Li Zaidao's hand hard, and said in a deep voice, "Please take care of your body." ”

"As my father once said, for the sake of the Commonwealth, we should exercise and strive for a healthy job for many more years. ”

Lee Jae-do shook his hand and said, "Your Excellency Vice President, I have always kept this sentence in mind.

The bigwigs in the conference room rarely had the opportunity to get together, and they had only met two or three times over the years in the name of that organization, and more often than not, they had communicated with each other through the most loyal subordinates, in some inconspicuous place. Time is very precious for these big people, and after expressing the most sincere condolences and condolences to the old man who had just finished the funeral, he immediately got to the point.

"According to the five-year plan, we have been trying to influence the three levels of parliamentary elections, but the current situation is not very good, the family and political factions are too hard to manipulate the parliament, and in the media, they have quite amazing energy, so for the time being, we have only made progress in the state and regional elections, and the management committee level has not been able to penetrate it. ”

The big man at the Federal Election Commission said in a deep voice: "Guys, it seems that it takes more patience to start with the seats in Parliament, and the question now is whether those families seem to be on the alert, and whether we can have enough time." ”

"Even if those stale families are vigilant, they still don't react violently with their conceit, just like the situation in Cillin and this investigation. Someone frowned and retorted: "Regarding that case, the Ministry of Defense has been under pressure, and the Ministry of Justice estimates that it will not be able to withstand it for too long, and this is the focus of my concern." ”

"Colonel Xu Le seems to have given up on pursuing this matter, what else do we need to worry about?" the big man of the election committee subconsciously glanced at the quiet General Lee Jae-do.

Li Zaidao didn't speak, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently.

"There is nothing dangerous about the Ministry of Defense's investigation, but there is one thing I must inform you of, the Society's archives were invaded the day before yesterday, and it seems that some people are interested in what is inside. Cui Judong suddenly said.

"Who is it?"

"The current suspect is called Shi Qinghai, a spy from Qinglong Mountain, very professional, leaving no traces, if it weren't for the central computer core [pian] positioning, I don't have any evidence in my hands. ”

Cui Judong rubbed his eyebrows, and said tiredly: "I don't know how much this person knows, who is he doing things for, the fourth section of the Qinglong Mountain Anti-[zheΞ·gfu] Army is now scattered, who would think of using the ancient bell to make a fuss?"

There were several big people in the conference room who didn't have any impression of Shi Qinghai's foreign name, and after being reminded, they remembered that this person had participated in the assassination of Medellin, but it was Lee Jae-dao, who had been silent, and after he glanced at Vice President Byron, he frowned and said: "This person has a good relationship with Xu Le." ”

"How to deal with it?"

"Investigate him, and if there's any danger, clean it up. Li Zaidao said very simply, and then lowered his head and continued to check the relevant case files, "As for the refusal of the division commander Shaoqing to attend the meeting, it is the soldier's nihilistic sense of glory that is at fault, and I will go to talk to him in person later." ”

"Commander Shaoqing's loyalty to the Federation is unquestionable. ”

Vice President Byron said in an accentuated tone.

Li Zaidao slowly raised his head and said: "I don't agree with the change of cabinet members in the plan, although the Ministry of Defense is important and needs to be controlled in the hands, Minister Zou should not go into the wilderness, he is a talented person, and the war with the empire requires his ability to contribute, and this is easy to arouse the suspicion of that lady." ”

Everyone in the conference room nodded thoughtfully.

"Minister Zou may not be our fellow traveler, but the Federation needs him. Lee Jae-do bowed his head and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not conspirators, especially where the fundamental interests of the Federation are involved, we should even take the initiative to make concessions. ”

"I agree with General Lee's statement. ”

Vice President Byron stood up with some difficulty with both hands on the table, touched his round belly self-deprecatingly, looked at the people in the conference room and said calmly: "Everyone, we are not criminals who do all kinds of evil, we are not businessmen who seek profit at all costs, we are just some people who want to do something practical for the Federation. ”

The vice president's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "In history, we may be marked with ugliness, and we may be criticized by those literati as radical martyrs in the blind day, but only you and I know what we are doing and why we are doing it." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, a new era is slowly beginning before us, and the Commonwealth has the best opportunity for change ever. What we have to do is to seize this opportunity vigorously for the sake of the Federation and not waver. ”

Vice President Byron continued calmly: "And we don't need to waver. Now some people have proposed to be wary of the dark forces in the federation, and some people say that there are so-called young Zhuang factions or radical factions in the army, but in fact, these statements are wrong. ”

"We are the Federation, we are the army, we represent the righteous tide of history, and we are about to welcome a grand victory for the common people. ”

Xilin Sunset State, the old house in the second district of latitude.

The little girl Zhong Yanhua, who is experiencing the first menarche in her life, has completely lost the calmness she boasted of before, she curled up in the corner of the sofa, with a thick blanket on her body, her face was pale and pitiful because of the pain in her lower abdomen.

The little girl was very flustered, and Xu Le, who had the thickest nerves in the universe, was also not calm, but fortunately, Shang Qiu, who was talking on the phone at the time, heard the scream, and then came to the Zhong family's old mansion as quickly as possible under his pleading.

Shang Qiu was busy in the kitchen at this time, according to the professional habits of an engineer, she used a measuring cup to accurately cook brown sugar water, and used calipers and eyes to calculate how many sizes of feminine products the little girl needed, and arranged everything very methodically.

After everything was dealt with, Xu Le carried Zhong Yanhua into the bedroom, but the little girl in pain and helplessness held his hand tightly and refused to let go, asking for the latest joke.

Shang Qiu leaned against the door and read the ** instructions carefully by means of the corridor lamp, listening to the small-eyed man clumsily telling cold jokes that he couldn't listen to, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of his lips.

"Brother, help me rub my belly. Zhong Yanhua blinked weakly and looked at Xu Le.

Xu Le put his hand into the warm quilt, put it on the little girl's cold lower abdomen and rubbed it gently, [pian] felt a warm body leaning on his back.

The little girl fell asleep with her brow bowed cutely, as if in a dream blaming the Creator for the unfairness of her brother and the clumsiness of her brother.

"Isn't it too early?"

The bed in the bedroom of the little princess of the Zhong family was huge, Xu Le leaned on the head of the bed, looked at Zhong Yanhua's slightly pale little face beside him, and said worriedly: "And I just know that it turns out that the first menstrual period can also hurt." ”

"Eleven or twelve years old is normal, you don't have to worry too much about anything. ”

Shang Qiu, who was comfortably leaning on his arms, yawned, and the two people who had been tossing for half the night fell asleep in a daze, and the little girl in the futon next to her writhed her body restlessly, subconsciously looking for Xu Le's hand in her dream, and then held it, refusing to let go.

One day in the seventy-second year of the Xian calendar, there were probably many little girls like Zhong Yanhua who grew up overnight, and there were also many deceased people who gradually decayed under the loess, and some people thought that they grew up overnight, but who knows if they were decaying?
