Hu Chenghe sat in the chair in the study and lit a cigarette. The study room is a part of the home that Chinese all agree with, so every old brother has a study room. However, like the older brothers, the study room is a place to study hard before the exam. Most of the time it's just a room where they think about things. Those who clean diligently, there is no dust on the bookshelves in the study. If you don't clean diligently, there is always dust in the places that are not easy to clean on the shelves.

Upon his return to Nanjing, Governor Wei Zetu did not show any intention of going to war against the United States, and he ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take charge of resolving the diplomatic incident. In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been acting for a long time, and beating diplomatic envoys is a big deal. In Europe, this is enough to provoke a very strong reaction. The Yankees have always been barbarians in the eyes of Europeans, and in reality, the reaction of the Americans is not deserved. In the face of China's stern inquiries and accusations, the Yankees said lightly, "We will investigate," and there was no movement.

Facing the indignation of the old brothers, Wei Ze smiled: "This is originally the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you still don't feel angry, come on, let's find someone to beat up the American ambassador. ”

For example, foreign embassies represent the territories of other countries in the Republic of China, and the embassies of the Republic of China in foreign countries also represent the territories of China in other countries. This knowledge was initially ridiculed as "ridiculous" by the elder brothers. Now that the Chinese ambassador has been beaten, Wei Ze does not talk about the diplomatic immunity of diplomats, but instead suppresses the matter in a friendly way.

If what the old brothers wanted was really reciprocal anger, they would have arranged for someone to smash the US Embassy long ago. Moreover, the US ambassador is also clever, except for officially expressing regret to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, he has been huddled in the embassy and has not left the embassy. Rushing into the embassy and beating people is a bit excessive. The most important thing is that everyone doesn't know if they will continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head after smashing the US Embassy.

It's okay to talk about this kind of thing in private, but not in public. If a formal meeting is held and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports it, a definite result may be reached. But how could the old brothers do that?

Thinking of this, Hu Chenghe angrily snuffed out the cigarette butt. He thought that he could honestly accept the fate of retirement, but he did not expect that at this last moment he would be greatly shaken again. Hu Chenghe even wondered whether he had made a mistake in ignoring the conflict between the province and the State Council more than half a year ago. If the conflict continues, the retirement of the old brothers will not be a priority.

If Governor Wei Zedu wants to resolve the conflict, he needs the full support of his brothers. With the cleverness of the Governor, it is impossible to retire the old brothers until the problem is resolved. And in the process of settling the matter, the old brothers always have a way to talk to the governor about softening and making some political deals. Now that the country is equal, all the opportunities are starting to shrink.

"Something has to happen." Hu Chenghe muttered to himself.

As he spoke, the phone rang. Picking up the phone, Hu Chenghe heard that it was an old subordinate of the Military Intelligence Department, "Commander Hu, the British have a conflict with us in East Africa." ”

"Oh!" Hu Chenghe's eyes lit up. Something happened, great! His first instinct was to be happy. Hu Chenghe asked: "How much conflict is there?" ”

"It's just that there are some conflicts at sea, I'm not very clear. I'll tell the Commander what's new. The old subordinate reassured.

Putting down the phone, Hu Chenghe thought about it and immediately went to the naval headquarters.

After entering the Navy Headquarters, Hu Chenghe didn't see any special vibrations in the Headquarters, and everyone still worked step by step. Hu Chenghe arrived at the Navy Commander's Office, but saw that the door was open, and several young soldiers came out of the Commander's Office with signed orders.

Walking in, I saw Navy Commander Ding Ruchang looking at the document calmly. Ding Ruchang looked up and saw Hu Chenghe appear in front of him, he hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile, "Commander Hu, what instructions do you have?" ”

"I just heard that in East Africa and the British?" Hu Chenghe said calmly.

Ding Ruchang felt that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he pulled Hu Chenghe to the rest room next to him. Closing the door and lighting cigarettes for both of them, Ding Ruchang said: "In addition to the gold mines in the Transvaal Republic, we have also found gold mines in the more northerly areas. The Navy thinks that sooner or later it will be a fight, so let's just do it ourselves. If you can put pressure on South Africa, it will be just right for the British to urgently mobilize the navy to the south. When they come, then there will be talks. If the British are honest, then sign the agreement. If the British are not honest, let's do it. Knock out the British's fleet, and they have nothing to do. ”

After briefly introducing the situation, Ding Ruchang continued: "Commander Hu, I know that your son-in-law is in the Indian Ocean Fleet, and I have to talk about it first. It's not that I don't take care of him, we have ordered that no one from all the cadres should leave the fighting units. I think you can understand. ”

The previous paragraph made Hu Chenghe feel a little disappointed, it turned out that it was not the dispute provoked by the British, but the Chinese Navy considering taking action against the British. In such a situation, of course, the navy is capable of independently dealing with the British, and it is not a big deal at all.

The latter paragraph made Hu Chenghe angry, even if he Hu Chenghe was not a strong martial artist like Dudu, Hu Chenghe had never been afraid in the war. Although his son-in-law will face danger in the war, Hu Chenghe does not think that he should let his son-in-law come back like this. In the Liberation Army, meritorious service will be rewarded, and merit will not be punished. If his son-in-law is not on the front line, there will be no promotion for front-line exploits. Could it be that in Ding Ruchang's eyes, Hu Chenghe has become a person who is afraid of death?

What's more, Hu Chenghe has his own ideas about managing his network, and according to Hu Chenghe's understanding of his son-in-law, he is an outstanding young man who has the courage to make contributions. Even if Hu Chenghe asked his son-in-law to come back, his son-in-law would not let go of the opportunity to fight.

However, an old guy like Hu Chenghe is well-informed, and Ding Ruchang is not a comrade who likes to underestimate others, he said this, but he was afraid that there was really something to suffer.

"What? Someone wants their children not to go to war? Hu Chenghe picked the most straightforward question. Although he thinks the question is silly.

To Hu Chenghe's surprise, Ding Ruchang nodded and sighed, "Now there are some old brothers, I can't say it." When the war started, they felt that they had done enough for the whole life of their lives for the country. So when their children are on the front line, they feel ...... Alas! Ding Ruchang expressed the full meaning with a long sigh.

Hu Chenghe's face changed greatly, "Who is it?" He asked sternly.

Ding Ruchang waved his hand, "I'm just complaining to Commander Hu, you don't care who it is." ”

Coming out of the naval headquarters, Hu Chenghe was both disappointed and shocked.
