Chapter 108: News Events (Part II)
Pregnant flowers kept falling from the eclipse moon signboard, "Wearing a black boiled thick windbreaker, the cannon Boben edited by the Shande reporter." Rushing out of the gate in the wind and snow, in the stunned eyes of the newspaper colleagues, into the dark green
Cart.
Military vehicles headed for the military airfield on the southern outskirts of the capital.
Wood, who was in the carriage, glanced at the thin cigarette roll in Bob's lips, felt the confusion and shock in the other party's heart, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Have you ever seen Lord Warlord before?"
"Many years ago at the funeral of the old president. From afar, I saw a cannon editor-in-chief looking at the snowflakes that were rapidly swept back outside the car window, his eyebrows were deeply twisted, and he took a deep puff of cigarettes, and suddenly found that because he was in too much hurry, he actually took the wrong pack of women's mint cigarettes.
Cursing two swear words in a low voice, he twisted the slender cigarette between his fingers, and subconsciously rolled it into a flurry of falling tobacco.
"You're nervous. ”
Wood rubbed his sore knees, stared at the shredded tobacco falling from the editor-in-chief's fingers, and said in disbelief: "I never thought that Mr. Editor-in-Chief, who is known for his calmness and even coldness, would have a nervous time before the interview. You know that you have interviewed three presidents before and after, and you still care about this?"
"The president was often interviewed, but the marshal had not been interviewed since he returned to Philadelphia
Editor-in-Chief Cannon retorted with a wave of his finger. After a slight pause, he laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, "Well, these are all fakes, I'm just nervous. ”
"When I was in the journalism department of the Capital University, I interviewed the then Minister of Defense, but what was this? I still remember that year when the Capital Student Union and the Veterans Association jointly held a big parade, and as a result, a fool from the oil mixing laboratory actually burned the portrait of the marshal. ”
"Oh, the marshal was not a marshal then. is the division commander, just like Xu Le is now, he is a combat hero idol that the Federation focuses on cultivating. ”
"That idiot was angrily beaten to a pig's head by our students and wheelchair veterans. ”
The editor-in-chief of the cannon burst out laughing, not caring at all about the shaking of the high-speed vehicles, with a trace of reminiscence, with a hint of indescribable meaning, squinting his eyes and saying with emotion: "You don't understand what the marshal means to us in the twenties and thirties. As a journalist who needs to maintain the spirit of independence the most, I should not have admired anyone, but I found out when the officer said that we could interview the marshal. It turns out that from college to now, I have been secretly worshipping immortals" like a fanatical star chaser.
Wood shrugged, took out a Blue River flue-cured cigarette and lit it, and said, "Isn't that the case for the entire Federation?
Pao Bo frowned slightly, looked at the military airport building and the plane hidden in the building outside the window, and said: "I also think this matter is a little weird, perhaps, it is related to the news that happened to Xu Le today." "The whistling air blew white floc on the tarmac for nine days. The powerful driving force drove the high-speed aircraft to tear through the icy winter sky in an instant. Heading towards Philadelphia, a short ten Dan minutes later. Two famous reporters who had only time to carry simple interview equipment and even forgot to take their professional cameras arrived at the most famous lakeside estate in the Federation.
The security measures of the Li family in Philadelphia are extremely tight, the security forces directly under the First Federal Military District are scattered around the building, and the strong elite soldiers are watching any movement with sharp and vigilant eyes, whether it is a silent frog in the field or a fish in the pond that is becoming lazy and lazy by the cold, you can feel a tense and solemn atmosphere that is completely different from the past, and it is permeating and eroding around this manor.
"As an avid admirer, I have traveled to Philadelphia twice and learned about the construction of the Lee estate through periodicals. Winters here are much warmer than in the capital, especially in the lake. Don't look at the blue water, it's actually mixed with plenty of alpine hot springs, and the temperature is very pleasant
The editor-in-chief of Cannon Bo and the reporter of Wood followed Officer Han Shaodong, underwent a strict security check, and walked towards the inside of Zhuang Guo, and the tense and solemn scenes they saw along the way made their mood nervous and uneasy for no reason, in order to dispel this uneasiness, Mr. Editor-in-Chief began to explain the one here to Wood in a hoarse voice.
"Please come in, I won't accompany you. When I come out, I'll wait outside for the two of you. Han Shaodong took the two reporters to a mansion and left with a smile, explaining before leaving: "The room behind the door is now within the purview of the federal data privacy regulations for the time being." I don't have enough permission to get in. ”
What is the secret inside?Cannon and Wood looked at the closed wooden door in front of them, the smooth, dark and dark boards of precious wood in front of them. I hesitated and didn't know if I should step on it. stepped on it, and slowly pushed the door open with unprecedented tension.
There are no transformative metal mechs full of interstellar sci-fi flavor, there are no countless big people who are talking about space strategy, and there is only one room behind the door.
There was an empty room, and at the end of the room was a bed, and the bed was covered with a thick but soft-looking and comfortable bedding, and between the futons that were as loose as a cloud lay a thin, withered and tired old man.
The dark brown scars were particularly glaring on the loose facial skin, and the old man's eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of his bloodless lips drooped weakly. I don't know if it's because I spent too much energy on the battlefield back then. The old man looked so tired, so tired that he didn't know if he was asleep or forever", sleeping
More than a dozen ultra-thin medical data cables. Connecting from the old man's shriveled body, and then around the head of the bed, into the next space, there is a huge glass about three meters high, which separates this empty room from the space next to it.
On the other side of the glass, there are more than a dozen of the Federation's most sophisticated and advanced medical equipment, a dozen of the Federation's best medical professors, and more than a dozen of the military's most important generals, who are busy watching the data and tracking physiological indicators, they are helplessly angry, angrily screaming, screaming hopelessly.
The glass was so well insulated that Bob and Wood could see the contorted, gloomy faces of the military bigwigs they were all too familiar with, with exaggerated arm movements and vaguely guessable lips. But I couldn't hear anything, this scene was like an absurd pantomime, but the question was who in this universe could invite so many high-ranking federal generals to come and be actors?
Knowing something, Bob and Wood breathed hard uncontrollably, clutched the recorder, and stared at the thin, old body in the cloud quilt on the bed, not knowing what to do.
They know very well that what they see is absolutely history, and it is probably a point in time in history that will never be forgotten, and as long as the Federation exists, this scene will be recorded in the federal textbooks forever,"
As a journalist, it is the greatest honor to be able to appear on the scene of history, let alone such history, but in the hearts of these two outstanding journalists, there is no trace of professional excitement, nor a trace of expectation, only endless tension and fear.
"Sit down. It's one-way glass, but it's one-way to me, I don't like to lie here naked and show them, even though they're doctors, I'm not the master of the Empire. ”
At this moment, a hoarse and low voice suddenly sounded in the empty room, and the thin old man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the door, the two reporters said:
"I like to watch them go around in there, it feels like going back to the old battlefield, and when I enlisted in the army, I liked to watch those weak medical officers running around with the treatment pod, hehe. ”
At the foot of the bed, there are two sofas, on the coffee table are placed fruits and brewed Guanyin green tea, and next to the glass ashtray are two boxes of white boxes of Sanqi specially provided by the army.
Paobo and Wood didn't react for a moment. He looked at the old man on the bed in amazement, and only after a long time did he say hello in a little panic, and then stumbled into the comfortable sofa.
"I'm glad you agreed to do this interview. ”
Li Pifu, who was half-leaning on the hospital bed, said gently, the old man's voice was hoarse with the strange sound of stone rubbing, still firm and powerful, but it was a little palpitating.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Editor-in-Chief Bob took a continuous deep breath, stabilized his mood with a strong professional spirit, and replied earnestly: "Your Excellency, this is the greatest honor I have had since I started my career, and even since the founding of the Capital Region Daily. ”
This is true, and a certain inference can be drawn from this scene, and the interview that will begin soon may be the last interview of this living legend on the hospital bed in this life. Bob and Wood were inexplicably impressed to be a part of it.
"Since this is an interview, I think it is necessary to introduce myself first. ”
The thin old man spoke slowly, the light in the ward was very bright, bright white, and there was no dull sadness at all, just like his legendary life, magnificent all the time.
The reporter squinted and took out his favorite pen and paper, and Wood gently opened the recorder. Listen carefully to the hoarse voice coming from the bed.
"My name is Piff Lee and I was born in Philadelphia. He worked three jobs in his life, working part-time as a cleaner when he practiced in the Slim Hall until he was twelve, and then at the age of fourteen, he briefly worked as a lawn mower in East Garden Plaza in Philadelphia. Then I joined the army, and since then, I've been in the army for decades, and I've never done anything else. ”
"The recruit network enlisted, our squad leader fell to his death during the exercise, and the superiors were very angry, and I didn't know why they picked me, a recruit, to take over the position of squad leader. From squad leader to platoon commander, to company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and division commander, until the end, I was promoted quickly in the army, and I never held a deputy position, nor did I work at the brigade and army levels. ”
"Speaking of having only worked three jobs, after I retired ten years ago, I once thought about continuing to go to Dongyuan Square to cut the grass, but the government vetoed it in the name of security, for this, I, a veteran, expressed my dissatisfaction."
The editor-in-chief of Pao Bo stopped the record of his fingers, raised his head and looked at the old man of the military god who was stuck in memory on the bed, and thought with some anxiety and sadness, compared with Xu Le's incident, this is the real news event, the news event that will make the whole universe sad. (Written hard.) After three o'clock in the next chapter, I will recommend Concubine Ming's new book Xianling:
