Chapter 128: Position One
Chapter 128 Position (I)
When it was dawn, Liu Yun, Zhang Zhigao and Mo Ning returned to the temporary headquarters on the third floor of the underground of the Ministry of National Defense Building.
Major Su Mengxin, the deputy chief of Liu Yun, who was guarding the door of the confidential room No. 1, immediately greeted him: "Report to the commander, the first team of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, the second team has completed the combat preparations for the raid of the enemy base, and can attack at any time!"
"Order Team One and Team Two to carry out six-hour shifts on standby."
"yes!"
Su Mengxin obeyed the order and left. The guards at the door opened the thick metal door of the confidential room for Liu Yun and others. As soon as the three of them entered the door, they all showed a look of surprise on the ground.
"Are you right?"
Zhang Zhigao didn't ask anyone.
"Maybe……"
Liu Yun responded meaninglessly.
"kindness."
Mo Ning spoke meaninglessly.
The huge oval combined conference table in the center of the room magically disappeared, replaced by several ordinary desks. A2 communication machine terminal was placed on a table near the door. Han Lang, the secretary of the Finance Department, crossed his legs and sat on duty in front of the 19-inch liquid crystal display, leisurely carrying the gap between his teeth with toothpicks, looking happy as if he was half-suffered by food.
On the table behind Han Lang was a laptop with a 14-inch monitor. Lieutenant General Gu Yingyang, director of the General Staff Intelligence Department, was lying in front of the computer and was busy, with a burst of heat coming from the dark green coffee cup at hand.
Four hand-cranked telephones and large stacks of maps and documents were placed on the table behind Gu Yingyang. General Yang Zhengjin, the Chief of Staff and Commander of the Zhili Military Region, issued orders to troops hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away. General Hook, the Chief of Operations, kept writing and painting on the map. However, the most eye-catching thing was the streams of white gas rising behind them.
On a desk that is too ordinary is placed, there is a charcoal-style hot pot that is too ordinary, a plate of chicken, beef, mutton slices, fish fillets, pork liver, pig sausage, squid, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach and other raw ingredients surrounded the hot pot that looked like some kind of sacred monument like stars. A family woman wearing an apron and holding her hair was pressing the cabbage that had just been put into the pot with chopsticks, and a few middle-aged men who were sucking their heads and eating hard beside the table.
"I'm back... Come here for a midnight snack."
The family woman - the Minister of Culture and Education, Lord Russellan - smiled and raised chopsticks to the three ministers who were stunned at the door. The melting sense of happiness was silently filled with no scent in this basement of at most 200 square meters.
Liu Yun breathed softly and hugged Zhang Zhigao's neck: "Now I finally fully understand what is a perfect wife who is omnipotent inside and outside? Why are your luck so good?"
"It's not just a matter of luck..."
"Stop talking and have midnight snacks."
While speaking, Liu Yun had already pushed Zhang Zhigao to Russellan, pulled Mo Ning and threw it to the hot pot table. After clearing the obstacles around him, Liu Yun raised his hands and patted him in the air.
"Everyone stop, I have something to say."
Everyone in the room immediately stopped working. The guys who were eating mutton hotpot also hurriedly swallowed the things in their mouths into their esophagus, and everyone saluted Liu Yun together.
Facing everyone's expectations and unconditional trust, Liu Yunxin sighed.
Overnight, differences and doubts were buried in the center of the earth. The cracks that once spread on the ideal crystal wall healed smoothly as new, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. They seemed to have burned passionate feelings like brothers and sisters... All of this has to be attributed to the damn task force. If it were not for the emergence of a common strong enemy who involved their fundamental interests, the great division within the group would probably be inevitable.
If you can defeat a powerful enemy, what will happen later? Can this kind of close unity continue to be maintained? This problem is not worth wasting even half of the brain cell for the time being.
"The appearance of the task force is indeed beyond our expectations. Some people are surprised, some are afraid, and some are desperate. This is human nature and nothing is true. What I want to tell you is that soldiers come to block the enemy and water comes to cover the earth. Although we still don't understand the strength of the task force until now, we are not resistant sheep. We have 500 tiger and leopard battalions, we have 200,000 imperial guards, and we have a million national defense forces. Although the weapons are behind the opponent, as long as the opponent does not have nuclear bombs, I don't believe that they can withstand the revolving attacks of millions of troops. In any case, they must not
If the contingent can capture any of us, it is a dead end! Without any of us, the history we create will not be perfect! We must continue to work hard for our common ideals and devote our efforts to the country in our dreams. We must create a new world... Yes, we, comrades who have experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers together, have lived and died together, have gathered their destiny together, brothers and sisters with deep affection, and we must move forward together. We will definitely overcome the current difficulties. We are invincible when united together!"
There is no applause, no applause, just a comrade's shoulder-patch, just a comrade's eye contact, just someone's fist clenched or understood.
However, after a few seconds of silence, a slightly thin but fiery applause sounded. Liu Yun raised his hands again to stop the magma of the rushing applause.
"However, considering the severity of this struggle, we may also pay a great price. For this reason, we must make careful preparations in advance. The emperor has just left for Tianjin. From now on, the imperial capital has entered a state of martial law. The military and police will plan to evacuate most of the people in the capital in the name of earthquake prevention and disaster relief. All comrades' families in Beijing will be sent by the National Security Department to escort to Shanghai, where the commander of the East China Military Region will be responsible for ensuring their safety."
Liu Yun stopped here. In fact, he had deeper plans in his heart. Once the battle with the contingent team failed and the comrades in the center were killed, everyone's wife and children could also hide in their hometowns or go abroad to take refuge under the arrangement of Xiao Ruhai, the commander of the five eastern provinces of Xiao Ruhai. Taking into account the worst situation and making arrangements in advance - this is Liu Yun's habit as the commander of the special operations force.
"In other words, we don't have any worries, just be at ease with the task force."
Zhang Zhigao followed.
"We believe in you, please lead us through this difficulty."
Mo Ning said.
"Comrade Supreme Commander, have you finished speaking? Let's start having midnight snacks after you finish speaking."
Russellan said with a smile, and stuffed a piece of beef dipped in bean paste into Zhang Zhigao's mouth.
A husband and wife who are enviable after seeing it.
Liu Yun thought with relief and began to worry about his daughter who came to this time and space with the contingent.
How is Qianhua now? Does she really hate herself so much? Has she been through such a thing by those people...
The date of the answer was obviously unpredictable. Liu Yun immediately gave up and decided to follow Russellan's advice and sit in front of the hot pot with Zhang Zhigao and others.
Just after eating two slices of mutton, Liu Yun turned to Russellan: "Sulan, how are those two going to prepare?"
Russellan smiled slightly: "I just found out after a few phone calls. At about 9 am, the Prime Minister's Residence Press Conference, Zhigao, Mo Ning and you are going. At about 2 pm, the Standing Committee of the Central Democratic Party Central Executive Committee and all members of the Standing Committee will attend."
Liu Yun swallowed a piece of fish fillet covered with hot sauce and said, "The members of Congress will be transferred to Tianjin today, and the headquarters of various parties will also be moved... I have decided that all comrades without military rank will go to Tianjin tomorrow, and I will assign 200 soldiers from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to protect everyone."
Zhang Zhigao was surprised: "Do you want us civilians to leave? How can this be done..."
"It's not a question of whether it's possible, it's a question of rationality. The emperor and the parliament went to Tianjin. The ministers of the cabinet had no reason to stay in the capital and wait for the shock to death. After the emperor settled in Tianjin, I will explain to the emperor that I will personally lead earthquake prevention and disaster relief and public security maintenance work in the disaster area to minimize the losses in the capital and the northern Zhili area. During this period, the General Staff will be maintained by the Deputy Chief of General Staff and the Deputy Chief of General Staff. The base camp meeting will be chaired by you. We can keep in touch with each other by dedicated telephone."
"But……"
"Nothing is impossible, please obey the decision of the Supreme Commander."
Zhang Zhigao hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
Russellan did not completely obey the supreme commander. She put down her chopsticks and said with a cold face: "I won't leave, I want to stay here."
Several ministers next to him also put down their bowls and started to cheer: "We won't leave, we will stay and fight together!"
Russellan glared fiercely around the big men with round belly: "What are you doing to stay here? Fight? Can you fight? Don't be there to be a man who has never touched the gun before, just fight a big fight."
Minister of Science and Technology Ma Feng stretched his neck and said, "Then why are you staying for? We won't fight, can you?"
Russellan looked back with his eyes wide open: "Have I said I would stay for war? I stay here to cook for the left-behind generals and marshals, typing, etc. By the way, Duke Wuwei, our prince-in-law, Prince Wanling, since he is a member of the royal family, he should also go to Tianjin with the emperor."
"Yes, Princess Wanling has already set out with the emperor. Among us, Ma Feng's family is not able to go to Shanghai. However, I have taken care of the Imperial Capital Security Commander and the Inner Palace Director who accompanied me, so there should be no problem. Ma Feng should be the luckiest among us. We will meet our wife and children tomorrow."
Russellan took the opportunity to tease, "Yes, my husband, I'm so angry that I can't help but be lucky. Go back tomorrow and pay tribute to the princess. Be careful of being punished to kneel on the washboard."
Ma Feng, who was "lucky" to marry the emperor's half-sister, Princess Wanling, eight years ago, had to smile bitterly with "happiness".
At the phone table, Yang Zhengjin was already muttering in Hook's ear: "If she stays to be responsible for cooking, she will be extremely happy."
The implication is that Russellan's cooking skills are rare at first sight. It shines when you see it. It shines when you flash. It makes people happy when you are happy. It makes people fall in love with you. It makes people think of you when you are confused. It makes people suddenly have distracting thoughts...
Hook swayed at Zhang Zhigao's eyes and smiled: "We are happy, and we are in pain."
On the hot pot table, Interior Minister Mo Ning had another opinion. He opposed the elite Tiger and Leopard Camp soldiers to protect civilian comrades who were about to go to Tianjin.
"Our elite troops are not large. Good steel must be used on the blade and cannot be wasted on those of us who are about to stay away from the battlefield. Please keep all the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion by your side, so that they can be used at critical moments. Offense is the best defense. Only by maintaining an elite mobile force in the hands of the Supreme Commander can we truly protect all of us. This is the same as local public security."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers agreed and said that the Tiger and Leopard Camp should be left intact.
After ruling, Liu Yun had to make the final decision: the Tiger and Leopard Camp remained unmoved, and the mobile troops of the National Security Department and the Police Department were transferred to protect the civilian comrades. Russellan stayed at the temporary base camp, and all other civilian comrades left Beijing before 8 pm tomorrow.
Liu Yun's idea was that if Russellan cooked for the comrades left behind at the temporary headquarters, he could eat it with 100% peace of mind and 150% happiness at the same time.
The situation is urgent, so of course we must hand over the most "critical" things to the most trusted people.
As for someone's sense of unhappiness, it must be "convinced" to be eliminated within the traditional Chinese moral category of "sacrificing personal interests for collective interests".
After solving the problem of staying or leaving, Liu Yun brought Han**, the Minister of Finance: "Sir God of Wealth, you have also seen it on the A2 terminal. We need gold worth 4 million yuan. It must be prepared before 12 o'clock on May 3rd, and it depends on you."
Han Lang nodded and said, "No problem. Although my country is now implementing the silver standard and Imperial Bank has very few gold reserves, it can be urgently acquired from Shanghai's precious metals exchanges and gold black markets. I have called the Shanghai Branch of Imperial Bank to handle this matter. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be shipped from Shanghai the day after tomorrow, but you will have to send troops to escort it."
"Don't forget that our Comrade Xiao Ruhai is the guardian of the five eastern provinces."
Liu Yun said with confidence, and then accelerated the pace of devouring.
Liu Yun never cared about the advice of his private doctor. What kind of health preservation, what kind of principles of qi, what kind of vitamin Abcd, he liked to eat meat, and he also wanted to eat it freely, eating it in a dedicated way, not worth rice, and not add vegetables. At the age of fifty-one, he teared and chewed various meats with his terrible tough teeth, which was enough to make him feel a little proud.
But, what happened to Qianhua?
Liu Yun suddenly remembered something, got up and went to the door of the confidential room, called Zhang Ziyi, and after explaining this and Zhang Ziyi quickly ran away.
After returning to the meal, Russellan asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I remembered my daughter."
"That... Qianhua?"
"Yeah, I want to see what she looked like fourteen years ago."
"You came here with her picture?"
"Well, I've kept it at home and just ordered the adjutant to go home and get it."
