"Second uncle, do you really plan to stay?"

In the hotel in Akja, the capital of the Dee Kingdom, Feng Xiaochen looked at Feng Fei with an excited look on his face, and asked with a bitter face.

After meeting with Pragnell, Feng Xiaochen and his entourage took a military car to Akja. Zhang Heping took Feng Fei to the Chinese Embassy in Akja and reported the situation to China through the confidential telephone of the embassy, which specifically pointed out that Feng Fei's stay in the country would help the export of domestic military equipment, and if Feng Fei was not allowed to stay, then the future cooperation with the country may be affected.

After receiving this information, the ubiquitous "relevant departments" held urgent consultations, and repeatedly asked Feng Fei himself for his opinion to see if he was willing to stay in the country for the time being. Feng Fei expressed his determination to his superiors on the phone, claiming that he was willing to sacrifice all his personal interests in order to promote the export of equipment. He could stay in the country of Die, for as long as the country needed it, without complaint.

Perhaps moved by Feng Fei's attitude, the relevant departments finally made a decision to allow Feng Fei to temporarily stay in the country of Diego in the name of the after-sales service engineer of Dongxiang Machinery Factory, and at the same time authorized him to participate in some activities of the Dienation military, including providing technical guidance to the government army of Die. However, direct participation in the war is absolutely forbidden, as it will not only cause international criticism, but also may have some life-threatening consequences.

Regarding Feng Fei's voluntary stay in the country of Di'er, Zhang Heping is also full of contradictions. From a security point of view, it is a great thing to be able to cooperate with the military of the Die. Of course, this is premised on not damaging China's international image. When Pragnell first made his request, Zhang Heping wanted to accept it for Feng Fei, but because Feng Fei was not a member of their system, he had no right to make this decision.

Feng Fei himself expressed his willingness to stay, Zhang Heping was of course happy, but at the same time he was a little apologetic. In his eyes, Feng Fei belonged to the local people, and he had no obligation to endure the hardships and dangers of staying in Africa. However, Feng Fei finally persuaded Zhang Heping, saying that he was an employee of a military industrial enterprise, in fact, he was also a soldier, and it was natural for him to serve the country.

What Zhang Heping thinks, Feng Xiaochen doesn't care. But when he went abroad, he left an uncle in Africa, which he could not accept.

From the perspective of future generations, working in Africa is not a difficult one, and as for the danger of life and the like, if you are a little more careful, it is not a big problem. After all, Feng Fei was only acting as a military adviser and would not charge into battle. Besides, with the intensity of the war in these small countries in Africa, even if you are on the front line, I am afraid there will be no risk. Didn't anyone say that a battle-level war in these countries was fought, that is, more than a dozen casualties, and the purpose of the soldiers on both sides was just to strengthen their courage, and it was an accident to hit the target.

This is true, but in this day and age, this is not the case. For a long time, "aiding Africa" has been regarded as a difficult task, and Africa in the minds of the Chinese people is the kind of place where plagues are rampant and wars are frequent, if Feng Xiaochen throws Feng Fei in Africa and returns to China alone, I am afraid that his second aunt Cao Jingmin, father Feng Li, grandmother Yan Leqin, etc., will scold him to the blood.

"Second uncle, the guy surnamed Pu is actually just blackmailing us, saying that if you don't stay, he won't buy our equipment, and this kind of talk is just to deceive children. How can there be such a child's play in a country's procurement of military equipment?"

Feng Xiaochen racked his brains to try to convince Feng Fei to change his mind.

"I know what he's saying isn't necessarily true, but what if he gets the idea? If I stay here, he won't be able to go back. In addition, the howitzers produced by our Dongxiang factory are designed according to the situation of our country, and may not necessarily be in line with the national conditions of African countries. I stay here and can also learn about them, which is also very valuable for us to improve the design of howitzers. Feng Fei replied.

From the time he agreed to stay as a military advisor to Plagenel, Feng Fei's state was very different from before, his voice was a little louder, and his face was flushed with excitement from time to time. After agreeing to his application to stay in China, his excited mood can be said to be even more overflowing, Feng Xiaochen thought viciously that when his second uncle went on a date with his aunt, he probably hadn't been so excited, right?

"Second uncle, I haven't figured it out, did you ask to stay, did you have a self-sacrificing thought, or did you originally plan to stay?" Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but ask a sensitive question.

Feng Fei was silent for a moment and said, "For the sake of national interests, of course I can make any sacrifices. However, the question you asked is also very correct, in fact, in my heart, I really want to stay. ”

"Why!" Feng Xiaochen was stunned, he had only felt from Feng Fei's performance that this second uncle seemed to have some expectations for staying in Africa, but he didn't expect that this was indeed the case, and Feng Fei would say it bluntly. He looked at Feng Fei and asked hesitantly, "Second uncle, you can't have a bad relationship with your aunt......

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Feng Fei's face changed suddenly, and he directly reprimanded Feng Xiaochen.

"If you don't want to hide from your aunt, why do you want to stay in Africa? Although Qingdong is in the west and the living conditions are relatively poor, it is still much better than Africa, right? You are also a big money now, and your family has already achieved the four modernizations, so why bother to suffer in a place like Africa?" Feng Xiaochen asked puzzled.

Feng Fei sighed and said, "You don't understand. In a popular phrase nowadays, people are middle-aged. ”

"When you're middle-aged, what does that have to do with your stay in Africa?"

"Of course it does. I'm almost 50 years old, and I'm still under pressure. Feng Fei said faintly.

Feng Xiaochen said: "You can't be regarded as nothing, right? I heard that you are also a technical backbone in the factory, and after a few more years, it should not be a problem to evaluate the deputy chief engineer." In the past 20 years, you have won two system-wide excellence awards, and as for the factory and provincial awards, there are countless awards. If you are considered to have achieved nothing, then how many people in China will die of shame. ”

"It's not enough. Feng Fei said, "Xiaochen, think about it, you are only so old, you are already a deputy director, and you have done such a good job." There is also Lin Tao, who is now studying in Germany, and he will be able to come back in a few years, and he will definitely be able to make some achievements. I, as an elder, if I am only satisfied with winning a few excellence awards in the system, how can I hold my head up in front of your juniors in the future?"

"Second uncle, you can't say that. Feng Xiaochen said, "Our generation can make a little achievement, which is also the reason of the times, you were limited by the times when you were young, which is completely incomparable." Besides, those of us who are juniors have never looked down on you. ”

"Really?" Feng Fei asked, staring at Feng Xiaochen's eyes.

"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen was speechless, he remembered that he seemed, as if, indeed ...... I used to look down on Feng Fei a little, thinking that he had a wooden personality, and he only knew that he relied on himself to help him sell equipment. However, this is a past idea after all, since Feng Fei broke out in the position of the Soke camp, in Feng Xiaochen's mind, the image of this second uncle has become very tall.

Feng Fei saw Feng Xiaochen's thoughts, and he said: "Boy, do you think you can hide from anyone, have you always felt that your second uncle is mediocre, incapable, and unassertive, and you have to be taken care of as a nephew when you go abroad." ”

"Second uncle, look at what you said, I, as a nephew, shouldn't I take care of my uncle?" Feng Xiaochen said.

Feng Fei said: "I also know that I have a flaw in my personality, I can't socialize with people, and I stay in the ravine for too long, and I don't know what's going on in the outside world." This time, the factory sent me out, but it only took a fancy to my relationship with you, and to put it bluntly, I was stained with your light. A lot of people in the factory gossiped that I shouldn't have been sent out......"

"Practice has shown that sending you out is a wise decision, if it were someone else, how could there be such an adventure?" Feng Xiaochen said half complimentingly and half seriously.

Feng Fei said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity. I used to go out to test guns, and I did have some experience in ballistic calculations. On the position of the Sok Battalion that day, I also had the idea of trying it, but I didn't expect that the attempt was really successful and helped our country's military industrial enterprises win glory. ”

"That's right, second uncle, at that moment, you are so handsome!" Feng Xiaochen praised.

Feng Fei said: "Handsome or not, I don't know." However, the experience of that day made me realize that I still have some potential, and I am not a wasted person. Later, Pragnell asked me to stay as a military adviser, and as soon as he said this, I was a little moved. I think I'm almost 50 years old, and if I don't give myself a chance, I'll never be able to prove myself again in my life. ”

"I see. Feng Xiaochen nodded. After listening to Feng Fei's words, he understood Feng Fei's psychology. Feng Fei has some attainments in technology, but in Dongxiang Factory, he is not the best in technology, at best, he can be regarded as a backbone, and he will never have the opportunity to stand on the rostrum. In the country of De, he was able to become an expert admired by everyone, and he was able to play a key role in Dongxiang's howitzer export by staying here, which was perhaps the highest level he could achieve in his life.

"So, what should I do with my aunt's side, how can I tell her when I go back?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Feng Fei said: "I will write to her about this matter, I believe she can understand my choice." I thought about it, I wouldn't stay in Africa for too long, at best a year or two and then go back. In the past, we went out to do experiments, and we also had half a year to go. ”
