The helicopter landed smoothly on the flight deck of the cruiser.

When Guo stepped off the plane, Vice Admiral Johnson of the US Navy, who was wearing a brand-new and straight general's uniform, and Colonel Loka George, the captain of the cruiser "Ticonderoga," came out to greet him.

Seeing the young Guo Zhuocheng, who was one meter nine lower than his height, walk out of the cabin, Johansen still hesitated slightly, but finally stepped forward, saluted Guo Zhuocheng with a military salute, and said loudly: "Vice Admiral Johnson of the United States Navy welcomes Mr. Guo's arrival!" ”

Although the captain of the ship, Colonel Loka George, was a little surprised by Johansen's expression, he also gave Guo Zhuocheng a military salute: "Captain Loka George, the captain of the cruiser Ticonderoga, welcomes Mr. Guo!" ”

Guo Zhuocheng didn't expect them to salute him, and hurriedly opened his arms to hug each other, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you." ”

Lieutenant General Johansen guided Guo Zhuocheng off the flight deck and said, "I know Mr. Guo's deeds very well. In particular, you commanded troops against the Vietnamese army, set up an ambush for the Israeli air force in Iraq, and battled the hijackers in Jordan. As a soldier, I admire it. ”

Guo Zhuocheng could only smile because he didn't understand the other party's situation.

Vice Admiral Johansen not only personally greeted him, but also organized a simple welcoming ceremony for Guo Zhuocheng and Halleps on the warship, and the naval officers and sailors on the ship lined up for Guo Zhuocheng to review. It can be seen from the outside that in order to welcome Guo Zhuocheng, the entire warship has been comprehensively and carefully cleaned, and everywhere looks clean and tidy.

The officers and men were dressed in new costumes and looked refreshed.

After a brief review, a brief welcome reception was held on board.

First of all, of course, Colonel Loka George made a welcome speech, welcoming the arrival of Guo Zhuocheng and Halleps, and wishing them a wonderful time on the cruiser...... The welcome speech was short, and it ended in a few sentences.

Next came Lieutenant General Johansen's speech. It is also a few short sentences, which are nothing more than to welcome Guo Zhuocheng's arrival, hope that the Night Pearl Island and the United States will establish a deeper and more comprehensive friendship, and welcome Guo Zhuocheng and Halleps to visit the United States in the future as the heads of state after the independence of the Night Pearl Island.

Obviously, this implies that the U.S. government will recognize the legitimacy of the independence of the Night Pearl Island. This made Halleps blush with joy. Guo Zhuocheng also admires the cheerfulness of the Americans, who immediately do what they think is beneficial, and does not care too much about other people's opinions.

After the US side spoke, Guo Zhuocheng also made a few remarks. Of course, Guo Shucheng said even less, just thank you for the reception of the US military. It is an honor to meet Lieutenant General Johansen here, and I hope that you will have a happy cooperation in the future.

Soon after the reception began, Guo Zhuocheng and Haleps were drinking coffee on the balcony outside the officer's conference room of the cruiser, the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Johansen.

There are also several officers on the ship who are drinking coffee or red wine here.

At this time, the sun slowly sets below the sea level, and the golden sunlight shines on the sea, staining the entire field of vision. It looks spectacular. Looking up, there is a faint layer of clouds in the sky, occasionally showing a hint of blue in the colored clouds, which looks unusually beautiful.

The sea breeze blows gently, making it very pleasant.

Guo Zhuocheng took the coffee from the sailor's hand, found a chair to sit down, and was about to beckon Halleps to come over. Lieutenant General Johansen also walked over with a cup of coffee and smiled, pointed to the empty chair next to Guo Zhuocheng and asked Guo Zhuocheng, "Mr. Guo, can I talk to you alone?" ”

"Yes! Have a seat! Guo Shucheng glanced at Halleps.

Halleps nodded, and sat down on the other side. And Colonel Loka George walked over with a smile.

"Thank you!" Lieutenant General Johansen dragged his chair away and sat down. said very seriously, "Guo, your English pronunciation is very standard. ”

"Thank you!" Guo Zhuocheng said.

"Mr. Guo, I saw you for the first time. I was stunned by your youth. I really can't believe you're so young. "Obviously, Lieutenant General Johansen wanted to pull the conversation away.

"Not really, right? You've been able to memorize my information backwards. I'm sure you've seen my photos many times. Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, this is not a compliment. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "Although I am prepared in my heart and know your age, I am still surprised to see that you are really so young. I have to say that the Vietnam War left a shadow on my heart, they were too tenacious. And you can defeat them lightly. Seriously, I'm a little reluctant to admit it, but I don't doubt it now. ”

Guo Shucheng said: "There is an ancestor in my country who once said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Because we know the Vietnamese army well, we can defeat them. With all due respect, when you launched a war of aggression at that time, not only did you not understand them, but you also thought that you would be able to win with advanced weapons, and this is the reason for your failure. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen obviously didn't agree with Guo Zhuocheng's words, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, and instead asked: "Guo, as far as military su zhì is concerned, which country do you think has the best military su zhì?" How do you evaluate the best of you and our US military? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "It seems that His Excellency Lieutenant General still does not agree with the reasons I just said for your defeat in the Vietnam War. As far as you American, China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and other ** people are concerned, I really can't say which country's military personnel are so good, I can only say that each has its own merits, and if you put them together, it is difficult to distinguish the advantages and inferiors.

But I can talk a little about their characteristics, you beauties are permeated with a kind of arrogance, but you lack a kind of abandonment of a qiē spirit; The Soviet soldiers, on the other hand, had a kind of savagery, full of confidence that could destroy a qiē; The British ** people give people a feeling of unconvincing but helplessness, and at the same time there is a kind of blind obedience, a kind of waiting psychology; As for the first of us, there is a sense of historical vicissitudes and the resoluteness to give up for the sake of the country. ”

Obviously, Guo Zhuocheng deliberately elevated the Soviet army and belittled the American ** team here.

Lieutenant General Johansen stared at Guo Zhuocheng quietly, then smiled and said, "We beautiful ** people can also dare to sacrifice their lives to carry out Shangguan's orders. ”

Guo Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't doubt your spirit of sacrifice. But when you face off against the Soviet army, you lack ferocity, you lack the courage to crush a qiē, even if your weapons are much stronger than theirs, but in the end it will definitely be them. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen also shook his head and smiled: "Guo, I have to say that you are very smart. It looks like you know what I'm here for, but the United States is a great country, and its military power is beyond question. The Soviet Union, I admit that they are strong, but in a face-to-face confrontation with the United States, we will be the one who will win in the end. ”

Guo Shucheng nodded and said: "Yes, if the two of you face off, you will win in the end, but when it comes to a face-to-face duel, when there is no final result, your US government will definitely raise your hand to surrender or withdraw from the duel." Because you are reluctant to die with the Soviet Union, dare not fight back to the Paleolithic Age like the Soviet Union, dare not beat the United States into ruins, and you cannot afford to beat Europe into ruins. So, you have to keep the Soviet bear from breaking out, from breaking out of the area that you have set for them, and we in China can do you a lot of help in this regard, the United States, we have a rope in our hands that can bind the giant bear of the north. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "As far as I know, you Chinese have always regarded modesty as a virtue. I don't seem to see that from you. ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "The greatest virtue is actually seeking truth from facts. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "But why can't I feel that you China have a rope to bind the Soviet Union?" ”

Guo Shucheng asked rhetorically: "If we don't have this rope, how can His Excellency Lieutenant General come here?" I really doubt that the small island of Night Pearl Island has such a big appeal. If it is really attractive, His Excellency Lieutenant General may have already visited the island, why would he still sit here and enjoy the sea view? ”

Lieutenant General Johansen asked rhetorically: "The scenery here is so beautiful, isn't it good to enjoy it here?" ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Your Excellency is an admiral, I think even if you can't say that you can enjoy this kind of sea scenery every day, you can always enjoy it hundreds of times a year, right?" Where is the sunset in the sky, and it is necessary for Your Excellency to come all the way here? ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "We hope that your Night Pearl Island will develop and prosper, and I hope you can recruit more islanders and recruit more fishermen." For this purpose, it is also worth it for me to come here. Every time you accept an islander or fisherman, as long as you offer him a job, he can support his family. If you provide jobs for 1,000 people, you will be able to solve the burden on thousands of people in the United States, and we will save tens of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Besides, if you can have a good relationship with you, its value will naturally be higher. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Since you said it so clearly, why can't you say it more clearly? You in the United States want us to help you contain the Soviet Union, and we in China also need your technology and your market. You can make money while you provide our technology, you can get cheap and good goods when you provide the market to us, and at the same time, your American goods can enter our country. ”

Lieutenant General Johansen said: "I am a soldier, and the economic side can be handled by politicians or economic experts, and I am only interested in the military. We can allow your navy to use the Night Pearl Island for oil and fresh water replenishment, but we can not allow this place to be used as a long-term and fixed military fortress for your side, and it can only be temporary. You must be inspected by our U.S. military and must not engage in hostile actions against our country and our allies of the United States......"
