General Fang's birthday banquet was very lively. After the old general gave a brief speech to the guests, he sat down accompanied by the descendants of his former subordinates, and the banquet officially began.

The old general was born in the northwest, and the northwest faction belonged to a typical local faction, and after ten years of catastrophe, the local faction was almost completely suppressed.

However, after the reform and opening up, the old general is still alive, and the old officials of the northwest department with him as the center are united around him, and the northwest has also produced many talents in recent years, although it cannot be compared with the forces of the Beijing and Shanghai departments, but it has also become an important political force in the republic.

The Northwest Department, now Wu has Gu Mingfan, Wen has Wen Zhuonan, Wen Zhuonan is currently the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Republic, and it can be said that he has served as an important position in the throat of the Central Committee.

The outside world's attention to the Northwest Department is also precisely because of this, and there are successors after the old generals, which is the most important thing. And the old general's third son, Fang Luping, is now also performing very well in the political arena, and the change may be one of the princes.

Fang Luping himself has a broad vision, born in the Northwest Department, but does not stick to the Northwest Department, and now several members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee have contacts, and is also quite valued by the Central Committee, many people believe that the rise of Fang Luping will become an important opportunity for the Northwest Department to soar into the sky.

Today's birthday banquet, Gu Mingfan arrived, but Wen Zhuonan couldn't be there in person because of work, and at the banquet, it was inevitable that Gu Mingfan would be sneered.

The two civil and military generals of the first department in the northwest are aggressive, which is well known, Wen Zhuonan is peaceful, has a strong ability to control the overall situation, and is well versed in the laws of officialdom. Gu Mingfan, on the other hand, is obviously tainted with the domineering spirit of an old general, and is a typical hawk in the military, and his usual "words" are very tough.

The two usually have different views, Wen Zhuonan can always have some upper hand, but Gu Mingfan has the same temper as General Fang, and whenever it comes to critical times, Elder Fang will always give him strong support, so over the years, he and Wen Zhuonan have been on a par, regardless of victory or defeat.

General Fang's hawkish style has long been rumored to be a good story in the Republic.

When the veteran general was the leader of the General Staff Department, he was asked by a reporter from a certain island country in the south: "Why does the republic insist that this island is the territory of the republic, since an island is at least geographically close to the slave country?" ”

The old general smiled at the time: "Geographically speaking, the slave country is also close to the republic!" ”

At that time, General Fang's remarks caused an uproar in international public opinion, and the theory of the hegemony of the republic began to be widely discussed by politicians in Western countries, and the theory of the threat to the republic also set off a wave of enthusiasm.

At that time, the republic was in a critical period of economic development, and the domestic diplomatic strategy was mainly obscure. At that time, the domestic sheep faction figures were very dissatisfied with the old general's words.

He believed that the veteran general and the Central Committee had not been in agreement, and that the matter had been raised to the level of politics and the overall situation, and that the veteran general should no longer hold a senior military post.

At that time, Fang Lao slapped the table and scolded his mother at the meeting of the Military Commission, and this matter finally caused trouble to the head of the Southern Tour, and the head of the Southern Tour said: "Taoguang is obscure, not pretending to be a grandson, it is very necessary to give them when necessary."

Like Fang Qinglin's use of "words" to give, he is already a small family, and when necessary, we can set up a cannon to give. ”

The head of the Southern Patrol also criticized the sheep faction in China: "Striving for a peaceful development environment is not a matter of servility. In some countries, if you don't fight, they will not be able to remember, and when necessary, give them the necessary lessons, and this is the correct way for us to strive for peace! ”

The head of the Southern Patrol said that the domestic military and political circles suddenly became silent. And strangely, the Western media has also become silent, and the facts are clear, especially the president of a certain country, who at one time threatened to make the republic apologize.

After the head of the Southern Patrol finished speaking, he came to the Republic for a friendly visit, and because of that incident, the road of the Republic not only did not go narrow, but became wider and wider.

And General Fang's outstanding performance also won him high civil and military prestige. The impact can be far-reaching.

Old General Fang has retired now, and now Gu Mingfan has reached the same high position as he did back then, and the foreign media are also relish about the close relationship between Gu Mingfan and the old general, and the saying that Gu Mingfan is the successor and inheritor of the old general is very popular abroad.

"Lao Wen is amazing now! I've been busy all day, and this time I'm going to Europe again! Does he think that he can appoint and dismiss the new rotating seat of the European Union? Gu Mingfan quipped at the wine table. His attitude was very clear, and he was very unhappy that Wen Zhuonan did not come to attend the old general's birthday banquet!

This table of people, except for the old general, is the biggest. There are also several lieutenant generals and major generals, who are the backbone of the key military in the northwest series, and they are the most intimidated. Among the people in politics, led by Fang Luping, they also know Gu Mingfan's cannon character, and no one dares to talk to him, and they are bored.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very weird, and Fang Lianjie, who had been serving the old general, stood behind the old general, watching all directions and listening to all directions.

As the most outstanding young man of the younger generation of the Fang family, Fang Lianjie is already in his twenties, and he is already a lieutenant colonel, and he leads troops in the garrison army, which is known as the main force of the main force of the republic and the elite of the elite. Fang Lianjie's own quality is excellent, which is the most commendable quality of the younger generation of soldiers.

In the capital, Jet Fang is known as the little tiger of the Fang family, and his career has been included in the core affairs of the Northwest Department, and this is also the reason why he can have the opportunity to stand behind the old general.

In a family like the Fang family, the rules are very big, and being able to be close to the old man is an honor, and this is a symbol of being valued. Jet Fang was able to surpass his uncle and stay by the old general's side at the birthday banquet, which shows the importance that the family attaches to him.

Of course, at this kind of banquet, the old general is sitting next to the big guys who dominate one side, and he is not qualified to sit there. He could only stand in the back, coldly watching the wit and rivalry between the elites of the republic, who were usually on one side but were now gathered around a table.

He was a little excited, a little excited, and more envious. He dreamed that one day, he would have the opportunity to occupy a place at this table, and life would be truly comfortable at that time.

"Xiaojie......" The old general suddenly spoke, Fang Lianjie was stunned, and hurriedly leaned up and said, "Grandpa......"

"What did you just say about Xiaoqi?" The old general asked.

Fang Luping on the side hurriedly said: "Father, Wanqi, this child is willful, the child of the Liao family is his childhood sweetheart, and now he has a successful career, but she just can't look down on it." Recently ......"

The old general glared at Fang Luping, and Fang Luping immediately realized that his father didn't let him speak just now, so he was busy holding his mouth and glaring at Fang Lianjie. Fang Lianjie said: "Grandpa, my sister is a little nonsense, she found a boyfriend, who is said to be a small township cadre."

This time there was an accident, and it was my sister who gave her boyfriend money, which made the local Commission for Discipline Inspection notice that something was wrong and investigate him......"

"Wanqi called me!" Gu Mingfan hummed, "I asked the secretary to call the following, and asked them not to make things out of nothing, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Qi." ”

"Brother Gu!"

Fang Luping rushed to Gu Mingfan, Gu Mingfan snorted coldly, and said: "Lu Ping, I know that you and Fang Zhuonan's little Jiujiu, you think it is an opportunity to get closer to the Liao family, I have no opinion on this." But if you want to engage in nepotism, if you don't hesitate to go against Xiaoqi's wishes to curry favor with the Liao family, then I, Gu Mingfan, will slap the table and scold my mother.

The old "Lord" said that people must have backbone, are we worse than people? Do you still need to use nepotism? Besides, I've seen that kid from the Liao family, no, he looks like a......"

Fang Luping's face changed, he coughed again and again, and said this in front of his father, that was to be criticized, and what his father hated the most was to engage in these things that pulled mountains.

The old general's expression remained unchanged, he glanced back at Fang Lianjie lightly, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Fang Lianjie said: "Grandpa, even if my sister doesn't marry Liao Zheyu, she can't find a Chu Jiang mud leg." I think my sister understands this truth, she is just rebellious and deliberately engaged in this play. Otherwise, I think it's better to let my sister come to the capital. ”

The old general didn't speak, pointed to the teacup on the table, Fang Lianjie hurriedly picked up the cup, the old general suddenly raised his crutches, and smashed the cup to the ground with a crutch, with a bang, the entire banquet hall heard this sound, everyone looked at this side in unison, the old general slowly stood up, and Fang Lianjie was so frightened that his face turned white.

"Tong Xiaoli!" The old general hummed.

At the left-hand position of this table, a tall general suddenly stood up from his chair, and he resisted two generals on his shoulders, which were Tong Xiaoli, the commander of the Central Plains Military Region, and he said loudly: "Here!" ”

The old general raised his crutches and pointed at Fang Lianjie with one end of his crutches: "I'll hand him over to you, you take him to the Central Plains, go down to the most basic troops, don't want the main force, just intervene in the reserve!" ”

Tong Xiaoli's face changed, and he said, "Old general......"

Fang Lianjie couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know what he said wrong!

"That's it, I'll tell you, don't be special with him, Gu Mingfan, you have to supervise this matter!" The old general is over ninety years old, and he was still old just now, but now the aura and prestige between talking and talking have not diminished in the slightest.

"Yes!" Tong Xiaoli and Gu Mingfan replied at the same time, the matter has come to this point, and both of them know that the old general is determined!

Tong Xiaoli looked at Jet Fang with a somewhat complicated expression, and even a little sympathy, while Gu Mingfan was funny, grinning at Jet Fang, as if he was very happy, and Jet Fang had a bitter face, and he wanted to cry!
