Episode forty-sixth return home from a business trip
Because everyone thought that Feng Nan was Cao Xiangdong's inmate, and Cao Xiangdong seemed to respect Feng Nan very much, they took it for granted that he was Cao Xiangdong's "boss" in the prison. Although they didn't say it clearly, they all toasted to him.
Feng Nan said good things and accepted them frankly. In short, he could not lose his reputation to Cao Xiangdong. However, this also allowed him to see the different sides of people in different environments.
In my impression, Cao Xiangdong belongs to the type of person who talks less. This is also the case in the 77th Squadron. He spends his spare time every day either writing appeal materials or writing letters that will never be sent. No matter how he looks at it, he is not a good talker.
But after his case was investigated by the Secret Service, Cao Xiangdong immediately seemed like a different person. His speaking frequency almost caught up with Yang Liming's, and even worse. And after all, he was considered a leader in the business world.
Successful people speak more logically than Yang Liming. They talk more in situations and make fewer jokes.
Now that Cao Xiangdong has retired again, his grievances have been cleared, and he has returned to his own territory, he is like a dragon returning to the sea, and he treats people with ease, which makes Feng Nan admire him with admiration.
In this way, we ate dinner until around nine o'clock and drank until all the men in the company became wagging dogs. The women also showed their charms. Only Feng Nan, an outsider and aloof, did not mix with those guys.
Same.
After leaving the restaurant, the matter was naturally not over yet. The men in the company had other arrangements. Cao Xiangdong even said to a certain girl with glasses who looked quite coquettish: "If you beauties don't go, what's the point?"
The bespectacled girl lightly hit Cao Xiangdong and said, "I hate it, Mr. Cao. Why are we meddling in your men's games?"
A troublesome man next to him said: "How can a man play a man's game without a woman?"
Although it was lively, in the end Cao Xiangdong took none of the group with him, because he was not the kind of person who would delay business, and he knew that Feng Nan had to rush to the military academy overnight.
After sending away a group of people from the company, Cao Xiangdong and Feng Nan went to take a night bath together and had a head massage to dissipate the smell of alcohol from their bodies, and then sent a car to take Feng Nan off. What happened?
I am a soldier, I am principled and neat in doing things. If it were someone else who would be procrastinating, I would really have to start a one-stop service first, and then I would be able to get out of the house if I have weak feet and weak hands.
It was almost five o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the military academy. Feng Nan opened two rooms in the military academy's external guest house to let the driver sent by Cao Xiangdong rest first. He then called the military academy's external duty room. Because of the confidentiality level of the military academy,
It's still relatively high. Even Feng Nan can't get in just by getting into it.
Coincidentally, the receptionist at the military academy happened to be an old acquaintance of Feng Nan. He had been an instructor before, so he was quite enthusiastic and promised to help him contact General Bai Long as soon as he came out of morning exercises.
In fact, it was only a few minutes before the training time, because the training time of the Special Boat Academy was at 5:30 in the morning, which was earlier than that of ordinary troops. Feng Nan adjusted his clothes and waited quietly.
At half past five, the wake-up call sounded on time. In less than a minute, slogans and songs could be faintly heard from the military academy. Feng Nan took a deep breath and looked out the window in the direction of the slogans. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but also a little bit.
Sad. If he hadn't been implicated by his father, he might be the same person now.
I have left the military academy, but I still live in the military camp, but there is a high possibility of staying in the school... In short, I am still a real soldier. And now, although according to the Secret Service, he is considered to be in the military, how can I think about it?
When I wake up, I feel that my current identity is a bit strange.
As he thought about it, he opened the window, and the cool morning air with a slight smell of sea was breathed deeply into his lungs, and he suddenly felt indescribably relaxed.
Feng Nan was reminiscing when the phone in the room rang. He went to answer it. The person on duty who contacted him earlier said to him: "Xiao Feng, I reported your matter to the principal. The principal agreed to see you. You are wearing military uniform."
?”
Feng Nan said: "No."
The duty officer said: "Then let me prepare it for you. It's a rare time for you to come back. The principal will be unhappy when you don't wear military uniform. I can still remember your clothing size, but what is your title now?"
Feng Nan said: "Captain."
The attendant smiled and said: "Not bad, I will arrange it immediately, please wait a moment."
Not long after, as expected, a car drove from the direction of the military academy. An officer jumped out of the car and ran upstairs to bring Feng Nan his military uniform.
When Feng Nan saw that it was a training uniform, she immediately changed into it, then went downstairs with the officer and took a car to the military academy.
It was still a ten-minute drive from the external guest house to the gate of the military academy, and the road conditions were not good, but this kind of bumpy road was familiar and kind to Feng Nan.
I changed my access card at the entrance of the military school and drove the car directly to the downstairs of the administration building. When I got off the car, the officer said to Feng Nan: "Xiao Feng, the principal wants to know if you have forgotten the rules. He asked me to show you this.
"He said, stretched out two fingers of his right hand and made a V-sign.
Feng Nan smiled and said, "More reminders." Because this officer had a higher rank than him, Feng Nan saluted him first, and when he returned the salute, he immediately turned back and ran in a circle around the playground.
In the office, General Bailong looked at Feng Nan's vigorous running posture through the window, nodded with satisfaction, and cursed: "You little bastard! You really didn't leave him behind."
Feng Nan ran twenty laps around the playground. One lap was four hundred meters, and twenty laps equaled eight kilometers. It was neither too much nor too little.
After finishing the run, Feng Nan stood at the edge of the playground, facing the administrative building, stood at attention, and shouted loudly: "Student Feng Nan, you have completed the warm-up task, please ask the leader to assign new training!"
The reason why he calls himself a cadet is because he did not really graduate from the military academy. On the eve of graduation, he was investigated and squatted in the basement. The military rank on his shoulders was not awarded by the military academy. In fact, he regretted it. He should have been directly awarded the cadet rank.
.
General Bailong was still standing in front of the window at this time. He checked his watch and was very satisfied with Feng Nan's speed of eight kilometers per hour. Then he said to the officer behind him: "Let him come up. The brat has not forgotten his roots."
Feng Nan followed the officer to General Bailong's office, and still followed the rules. Finally, General Bailong said: "Okay, sit down, relax, let's talk about work now, we are equal at work now"
Relationship, don't be too restrained." He also asked people to bring tea and snacks and said: "I'll let you run around as soon as you come. You haven't eaten breakfast yet, so just make up for it."
Feng Nan thanked her and took some snacks casually.
General Bailong is such a person. He has been a soldier all his life and has always behaved himself. As long as you respect his rules in front of him, he is still a very easy-going person in essence, especially his students. Almost all of them regard themselves as themselves.
The children are waiting.
"I received your application a few months ago." General Bolong said: "There are also some documents from Fortner transferred by relevant departments, and letters of co-operation from the Secret Service and other departments. They did not come at the same time, but they are all mentioned.
One thing, I am not just because you are my student, but because you are my student
It's a good thing, and you can achieve multiple things with one stone, so I decided to do it with others. But I also changed some plans on my own initiative. A few days ago, one of your subordinates named Cao Xiangdong - a good young man too - came to ask me about the progress of the process.
, I didn’t tell him much, I was just waiting for you to come.”
Feng Nan said: "Let the principal worry about it."
General Bailong said: "Don't say that. On the one hand, this is work, and on the other hand, it is also a good thing. Although it is not a regular troop dispatch, it can still show military prestige. I have heard about your battles in Africa. You fought well, but
It’s too immature, so I need to criticize you! Although dangerous recruitment is also one of the tactics of war, it is not suitable for people with little actual combat experience. You have insufficient actual combat experience. You are lucky to have a good fight this time, and you have the support of the Wangdongcheng Self-Defense Force.
The big tree takes a lot of advantage."
Feng Nan said: "The principal's criticism was right. I wrote a summary afterwards. I was really scared when I thought about it. Moreover, I had to bear the name of a brother. I am responsible."
General Bailong said: "This is how it should be. Whether it is training or combat, we must constantly summarize experience. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about business. This time you hope that the first company can build and fight in the tropical jungle water zone.
The requirements for combat engineers are still very high. There are only three units that can meet your requirements. One is the special engineer brigade. This level is too high.
Gao, even for retired officers and soldiers, the security is very good, so unless you are specially assigned, no one will follow you, so don’t think about it. There is also the army in the south, especially the Yunnan area, we can’t intervene.
It's inconvenient to go in without knowing the basics, so it's a wise choice for you to go back to your parents' home to recruit people. Our naval construction engineers are all top-notch talents."
Feng Nan said: "I am from the Navy. If anything happens, of course I have to come back to the Navy."
General Bailong was very satisfied with Feng Nan's answer and nodded and said: "Well, I am not boasting, the navy is the most offensive service among the three armed forces. A country that does not value the navy and sea power will be in trouble.
Of course, Mongolia is an exception now."
As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a stack of documents and handed it to Feng Nan, saying, "This is the roster of people I have recruited for you, as well as some relevant information. You can take a look first."
Feng Nan took it with both hands, and was surprised as soon as he opened the roster: "3 people!" He raised his head and looked at the general, but the general rarely showed a smile like a naughty boy and said: "You want them to go
There is a place to fight, let’s not talk about Baili
Pick one, pick one out of five people. They are all elites. Not only are they strong in combat, but they also have a greater chance of survival. After all, we brothers go abroad to make money. It is best for as many people as possible to go and return as many as possible, otherwise we will lose our lives.
What’s the point of flowers?”
Feng Nan suddenly felt a little sad again. Firstly, it was because of the matter itself: taking sixty people out, I really dare not bring back sixty people as they are. Not to mention that there is still a war. Even in peacetime, natural disasters are inevitable**
It took people's lives. But what saddened him the most was General Bailong. The general usually
He is serious and unsmiling, but today he seems to have changed his gender. According to the old saying, a person will change his gender twice in his life, once when he is getting old and once when he is about to die. General Bailong is really old.
On the way, Feng Nan heard that the general will retire in the next year or two.
"How is it?" the general asked in a somewhat tentative tone: "These are all officers and soldiers who retired from the Naval Engineering Corps within ten years. Now their physical fitness is pretty good in all aspects, but some people have problems in life.
Difficulties... Going abroad this time can be regarded as an opportunity." He paused, and when Feng Nan didn't say anything, he continued: "I usually want to help them more, but I am just a
The principal of Qingshui Yamen has limited abilities. Now that I have this opportunity, I can also help one after another... Fortner will be responsible for the various expenses for the early training, food expenses, etc.," he said,
His smile became even brighter, and he was even a bit flattering. General Bailong was indeed a good man who cared about his subordinates. He did not hesitate to say good things to his students in order to find a way out for his former subordinates.
Speaking of which, Feng Nan's funds in hand are relatively rich at this time, but he is an honest person, and he actually budgeted for 60 people. But General Bailong said so, and he was really embarrassed to refuse, and seeing that
Looking at General Bailong's look, he could imagine that in order to save his future, this upright general must have been so clumsy in asking for help. Comparing his feelings with his own, this matter really must be done well.
