Huo Xiaotian returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere at home was not quite right.

I saw a pale old man sitting on the sofa in the living room, the old man looked rough, about sixty or seventy years old, but his body was tough, his face was ruddy, and he sat on the sofa, quite a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

Beside the old man, there was a young man in a crisp suit, his eyes were focused, and he looked quite capable.

These two people, Huo Xiaotian has never seen them, it seems that they are guests at home for the first time, watching his father serve tea and pour water diligently, it seems that he is more respectful than his uncle, Huo Xiaotian guessed that this old man should not be a simple character.

Seeing Huo Xiaotian coming back, Huo Zeyu hurriedly introduced: "Xiaotian, why don't you come to see your Grandpa Chen?" ”

"Grandpa Chen? Which Grandpa Chen? Huo Xiaotian asked strangely.

"This is your grandfather Chen Qianzhong, the old chief when my father was a soldier, didn't I tell you before?" As soon as Huo Zeyu reminded him, Huo Xiaotian seemed to think of something immediately, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and after a closer look, the old man was really a little familiar.

"It turned out to be Grandpa Chen? Is that Grandpa Chen who is engaged in equipment? Huo Xiaotian asked with a smile, this Chen Qianzhong's grandfather was on TV a few years ago, and his father told him at that time that the old man on TV was his former old chief, so Huo Xiaotian had a little impression of Chen Qianzhong, but he hadn't seen it in reality, so when he first met, he was a little angry.

"Young man is really spirited, come, let grandpa see." The old man saw Huo Xiaotian's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was extraordinary, and he also liked it very much, he smiled and beckoned, and Huo Xiaotian immediately walked over.

"Hello Grandpa Chen, I really didn't expect you to come to our house." Huo Xiaotian came to Chen Qianzhong's side and said with some excitement.

"Grandpa has now been transferred to Dongshan Province, so, come and see you, what? Grandpa is not welcome? The old man joked with a smile, his voice was strong, and even if it was a joke, it carried a sense of majesty.

"Hehe, welcome, of course welcome, grandpa is such a high-level army leader, being able to come to our house really makes us shine." Huo Xiaotian sat next to Chen Qianzhong and said with respect on his face.

Huo Xiaotian still knows a lot about this Grandpa Chen, because listening to his father, this Grandpa Chen was an old revolutionary in his early years, participated in many battles in his early years, and was a heroic man with iron bones, and when his father went to join the army, Grandpa Chen was already the head of the army and his father's direct boss, but his military rank was much higher than his father's.

After so many years, it is estimated that this Grandpa Chen has long been a general-level big man, right?

"Your Grandpa Chen, now you are the leader of our J Military Region, Xiaotian, you have to study hard, and you have to get closer to your Grandpa Chen in the future." Huo Zeyu touched his son's head and said.

Hearing this, Huo Xiaotian was startled, "What? Grandpa Chen is now the leader of the J Military Region? ”

J Military Region is one of the seven major military regions of our Great Heavenly Empire, in addition to the Imperial Capital Military Region, it is the J Military Region is large, the jurisdiction of the J Military Region is east to the sea, with Jade Bird City and Haiwei City as the base, and the East China Sea can be controlled to guard the entrance to the Bohai Sea, which is the first gateway to the east of the Great Heavenly Empire, west to the inland of the Central Plains, guarding the southern gateway of the imperial capital, and the south can go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, and the north can defend the imperial capital, which is really the most important military region of our Great Heavenly Empire.

In fact, even if you don't understand these words, you can also see some clues from the military rank, among the seven military regions, why only the top leaders of the Imperial Capital Military Region and the J Military Region are in the rank of general? What about the top leaders of other military regions who only have the rank of lieutenant general? Isn't that because the location is extremely important?

And it is precisely because of the importance of this J Military Region that this position will basically be arranged with the most trustworthy candidates in the organization, and the generals who can be placed in this position have unparalleled glory and weight in the military circles of the entire Great Celestial Empire.

Hearing that Grandpa Chen is now the leader of the J Military Region, Huo Xiaotian's little heart almost didn't jump out of his chest, the commander of a large military region, with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers under his command, this big man who holds the power of my Great Celestial Empire is actually sitting next to him, how can this not make Huo Xiaotian very excited?

"Hehe, I think this kid is very ghostly, he must be a good seedling in the future." Chen Qianzhong stroked Huo Xiaotian's head and smiled lovingly.

"Grandpa Chen, you have won the award, but if there are conditions, I also want to contribute my strength to the motherland." Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Okay, hot-blooded man, it should be like this, repay the motherland with enthusiasm, so that our boy's seven-foot body will not be in vain." Chen Qianzhong smiled and encouraged.

"Yes!" Huo Xiaotian nodded seriously, and at the same time admired in his heart, this old man is so old, he is still full of pride, and he really deserves to be the Five Tiger General of my Great Heavenly Empire.

While Huo Xiaotian and his son were chatting with Chen Qianzhong, He Xiaoqian carefully arranged more than a dozen good dishes, and moved out the only bottle of Moutai left in the house, there were always two bottles of Moutai at home, Han Wei drank one bottle when he came, in order to entertain the old chief, He Xiaoqian had to take out another bottle of Moutai to entertain.

Soon after, the table was already full of food and drink, and everyone began to eat and drink lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Lao's words gradually increased, and at this time, Huo Xiaotian heard from Chen Lao's mouth something that he had heard for the first time in his life, this matter was related to his father, but he had never heard it from his father's mouth.

It turned out that in '82, that is, my father's third year as a soldier in the F Military Region, my father, who was already the commander of an automobile company at that time, suddenly noticed that there was a problem with the fuel for transportation, and these oils were prepared for the Jian-8 aircraft that was about to conduct military exercises, and the Jian-8 was the main fighter of our Great Celestial Empire at that time, and it was in the early days of reform and opening up, and the country's economy was far from being as developed as it is now.

At that time, hundreds of J-8 were ready to use this batch of fuel to refuel, but my father, as a ground crew member of the Air Force, naturally knew what it would mean if these fuels were added to the aircraft, the aircraft's fuel standards were much higher than those of other equipment, if the fuel had quality problems and there was a stop in the air, the consequences were likely to be the destruction of the plane, and hundreds of planes, if they all used this kind of fuel, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of the consequences of this kind of strictness, Huo Zeyu immediately reported the situation to his superior, Chen Quanzhong, who was the director of the logistics equipment department at that time, and was shocked when he heard this report, if the oil could not be transported in time, it would make the entire military exercise delayed, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops would be quite huge for every day of delay, but if these inferior oils were used in order to save time, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

No matter whether he advances or retreats, the consequences are not something that Chen Duzhong can bear, and when he is in a dilemma, he has no choice but to adopt the strategy of losing the car to protect the commander, and let Huo Zeyu bear all the responsibility in exchange for his partial exemption.

After being interviewed by Chen Qianzhong, Huo Zeyu was very unwilling in his heart, obviously he had made great contributions and reduced losses for the country, but in the end, he actually had to be a scapegoat? (To be continued.) )
