Tian Guanghua had known for a long time that Mr. Zhao admired the Cultivation Inspection Department very much, but he did not expect that he, a person who once oversaw military and political power and now successfully became the manipulator behind the scenes, would be so polite to Sun Chunpin.
After all, cultivators and secular society are two different worlds. Logically speaking, Mr. Zhao would not be so polite to Sun Chunpin.
More than ten years ago, Mr. Zhao's attitude was indeed very different from what it is now.
That time he was lying in the special care ward of the hospital. The attending doctor had notified his family to prepare for his funeral. When he was about to die, someone sent by Sun Chunpin used a magic pill to cure his illness.
Moreover, he was given a few decades of life extension, giving him the opportunity to successfully move from the stage to behind the scenes.
For Mr. Zhao, this is tantamount to experiencing rebirth.
Since then, his attitude towards the Inspection Department has undergone a huge change. From the previous respect, he has gradually become the one who is now following the lead.
It is said that the older people get, the more afraid they are of death. Just the fact that it can prolong life is enough for this old man to highly admire him in the world of cultivation.
In addition, in resisting the invasion of the Kuruks this time, the Cultivation Circle and the Inspection Department showed great strength. In Mr. Zhao's opinion, it is a must to have a better relationship with these people.
It doesn't matter if you offend anyone, you must not offend these people.
"Come here, it's pretty quick!" Sun Chunpin pointed to the seat reserved for him and said, "Sit down and have a drink together! This is Ner's Red wine that Mr. Tian has collected for more than 20 years. It's a rare and good wine.
Woolen cloth!"
"Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for your love. Zhao is very flattered!" Mr. Zhao thanked him and walked to the only empty seat at the wine table with a respectful expression. The status of the Tian family and his son in his mind was invisibly improved.
If someone as big as Sun Chunpin could be invited, Lao Tian's family would probably be the only one in the entire Huaxia Kingdom.
Before sitting down, Mr. Zhao hugged Tian Guanghua and said, "Brother Tian, I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you for your hospitality!"
"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome!" Tian Guanghua nodded and said, thinking that you used to call me Xiaotian, but now you call me Brother Tian!
In fact, the oldest person at this wine table is Sun Chunpin. Although he looks middle-aged on the surface, in fact, the combined ages of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tian may not be as old as him.
That's why Sun Chunpin spoke to Mr. Zhao in an elder's tone.
"All the military and political giants of China are here. Let's have a drink first and then talk about national affairs!" Sun Chunpin suggested.
Mr. Zhao and Tian Guanghua responded positively. The three brothers Tian Feng, Tian Lin and Tian Hai had no say at all. In terms of status, the three of them ranked last, with Mr. Zhao second to last, then Tian Guanghua, and then
Luo Lei and Sun Chunpin.
Mr. Zhao has not drank much for some years, but he still picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp without forgetting to praise the wine.
Everyone drank three bowls in a row, and Luo Lei calmly used his true strength to relieve the hangover for his father-in-law and two uncles, because together with what they drank before, they were basically exhausted.
But almost every toast was initiated by Sun Chunpin, and they had no other choice but to pour the spicy wine into their mouths.
If the three of them passed out after drinking, Mr. Tian would definitely feel very embarrassed.
The three of them were already a little confused, but suddenly they woke up. When they were confused, they saw Luo Lei snickering, and they immediately understood the reason for the matter.
Moreover, Luo Lei also gave them a look that says you can drink whatever you want, but I guarantee you will never be able to drink it down.
The three of them felt confident, especially Tian Feng, which was a great relief. What more could they ask for in such a virtuous husband?
Tian Lin and Tian Hai were very envious of their eldest brother. They both wondered why I don’t have a daughter with both political integrity and talent like Xiao Xi. Otherwise, Xiao Lei would be my son-in-law!
It seems that more and more people have this idea. Even Mr. Zhao is scratching his head. It is widely rumored that Luo Lei likes beautiful girls. My old Zhao family is also prosperous and has many descendants. If I can find someone who can match her,
Wouldn't it be great if they match?
Sun Chunpin is an old man, so how could he not see what Mr. Zhao was thinking? He smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Zhao, don't think about it, there is no such person in your old Zhao family! You are not young anymore, you should know
It means to be content and always happy, and don’t be too demanding in everything, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”
Old Zhao blushed and said quickly: "Thanks to Mr. Secretary General's teachings, Xiao Zhao has remembered it!"
Calling Tian Guanghua Brother Tian and calling himself Xiao Zhao, Mr. Zhao knows how to behave. He knows very well that as long as he makes Sun Chunpin and Luo Lei happy, he can live a few more years and hold power for a few more years.
"I came here today, firstly to attend Mr. Tian's family dinner, but also to discuss something with you two!" Sun Chunpin put down his wine bowl and said: "Everyone must know that there are various signs that the aliens are building a landing site for the follow-up troops. They
A massive invasion is about to begin! I would like to hear your opinions on this matter."
"Fight, fight resolutely!" Tian Guanghua was worthy of being called an iron-blooded general. He said with a serious face: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts, even if the direction of attack of those bastards at this time is not on our side of China.
, that’s a matter of time! If I don’t care about them, it will be very detrimental to me when they become stronger. It is necessary to nip the enemy’s conspiracy in the cradle!”
Sun Chunpin had no expression on his face and turned his gaze to Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao was a smooth person. He originally wanted to follow Sun Chunpin's meaning, so when Tian Guanghua made that grand argument, his attention did not leave Sun Chunpin's face.
It's a pity that Sun Chunpin's face doesn't show any emotion, and it's impossible to tell whether he supports or opposes Tian Guanghua's views!
Then let’s put the duck on the shelf. Mr. Zhao was worried and said: "I don’t think we should rush to conclusions at this time! The Huaxia Kingdom is not the main direction of the alien race. Of course, I don’t mean to be timid, but I think the main experience should be
Focus on the research of new weapons and new tactics.
After all, the foreign races are powerful, and the countries that have been invaded have suffered heavy losses. If we send troops rashly, we may follow in the footsteps of those countries, so we have to be careful!"
These two old men represent two different viewpoints. Tian Guanghua is an out-and-out militant, while Mr. Zhao is well versed in the concept of hiding one's strength and biding one's time, and does not like to be impulsive when dealing with anything.
Taking the initiative has the advantage of being active, and not being impulsive has the advantage of not being impulsive. It is difficult to tell the difference between the two opinions at the moment.
However, relatively speaking, Sun Chunpin prefers Tian Guanghua's straightforward character.
"What both of you said makes sense!" Sun Chunpin said: "War is unavoidable! But how to fight is indeed a headache.
If only the Inspection Department and cultivators under my command participated in the war, there would be no need to worry at all. We have defeated enemies several times our own, and it is not difficult to defeat a clan! But now it is our side that is difficult.
The number of people is limited, and the aliens have suffered a loss. They will become more cunning next time, and the direction of attack will also change from one to dozens or hundreds. When the time comes, we will be overwhelmed, and we must attack with the army.
How to fight is a problem that must be solved immediately, because we are at different heights, so it is difficult for me to give you advice. You have to figure out how to defeat the enemy yourself!"
Tian Guanghua had a solemn look on his face. As the top general of the Chinese military, he had seen a lot of intelligence on foreign armies fighting against the Kuruks these days. To be honest, the situation was not optimistic.
If there is no effective fighting method and advanced weapons, no matter how many people are sent up, they will die.
"Everyone, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested in it?" Luo Lei asked with a smile.
"Yeah, why did I forget about you, Xiao Lei? You usually have the most clever ideas!" Tian Guanghua said with a smile.
Although Mr. Zhao is an out-and-out elder, he cannot talk to Luo Lei in a casual tone like Tian Guanghua. Instead, he said with compliments: "General Luo Lei is a genius. He must have a good idea. I am all ears!"
"General Luo Lei? When did I become a general?" Luo Lei was startled.
Mr. Zhao said with a strange look on his face: "Why don't you know? I remember that the promotion decision was signed a few days ago. Brother Tian, didn't you tell Luo Lei?"
Tian Guanghua also blushed and said: "Originally, this family banquet was to celebrate Xiaolei's promotion. Weren't there some distinguished guests? When I got excited, I forgot about it! I said you three, I am
You are so old and confused, you are still young, why didn’t you remind me?”
Tian Guanghua vented his anger on his three sons.
As the eldest son, Tian Feng said angrily: "Dad, you are always so excited that you forget about it. Those of us who are juniors are even more excited, and of course we forget about it!"
Hahaha!
Sun Chunpin burst out laughing, patted Luo Lei on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Lei, you four elders are so cute, you are so polite to me!"
Luo Lei shrugged and said: "Old man, even if I am promoted, I can at most be promoted from colonel to senior colonel. Why am I promoted to general?"
Tian Guanghua took out a promotion order from his pocket and said: "You are promoted over the next level this time! This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is directly promoted from colonel to major general, not a low-level officer promoted from second lieutenant.
It's so easy to become a captain! In fact, grandpa has prepared a new military uniform and major general epaulettes for you. Are you interested in trying out the general uniform?"
Luo Lei waved his hand and said, "With so many guests here, forget it! I'm already a major general, but it's so fast. It's only been a year since I was deceived into joining the army!"
Zhao Lao thought that this move was indeed the right move. Luo Lei really didn't value his position in the army very much. If he hadn't been directly given the rank of major general this time, it would be difficult to maintain the relationship he should have.
Woolen cloth.
"This was all suggested by Mr. Zhao!" Tian Guanghua shifted the credit to Mr. Zhao, which made Mr. Zhao very happy.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. If you need anything in the future, just ask!" Luo Lei said, patting his chest.
Mr. Zhao was so excited that he wished he could praise Tian Guanghua's whole family. They are friends of the old Tian family. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Luo Lei, you have contributed to the country and you deserve to be promoted! By the way, you just now
