Chapter 409: The Burden Is Upon Us

The old man of Tantai has made great achievements in his life, and he was even more famous for being ruthless to the enemy on the battlefield, from leading a company to a regiment, and even leading an army to fight, which is majestic, and belongs to the absolute strength and hardliners in the army!

And his character is also known for his toughness, and his prestige in the army is very high, and now many generals in important positions in the Chinese army are inextricably linked with him

But such a person, such a veteran of Rongma for half his life, now said to Xue Fan in a solemn and pleading tone, "In the future, the Tantai family will be handed over to you!" ”

This is also one of the reasons why Xue Fan was stunned

When he first heard this sentence, he felt like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was bombarding his head, trembling all over, a little dazed, a little puzzled, and a little panicked

What kind of family is the Tantai family?

As long as this person is in the capital, he knows the Tao, and those families whose families are ministerial-level capped are not comparable to them at all, because the Lantai family not only has big names in the military world, but also heroes in the political circles, and even develops quite well

Compared with those families that have produced giants, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Tantai family is the top family in China, at least with the situation in Huaxia that Xue Fan knows now

If he wanted to support such a big stall as the Tantai family, Xue Fan would feel that the burden on his shoulders was quite heavy, and he might be in danger of being crushed

Yes, the first thing that came to Xue Fan's mind was not refusal, but thinking about whether he could take on this heavy responsibility

"Grandpa Tantai, aren't you embarrassed for me? I'm only a small senior cadre now. After all, it's not even a nine-grade sesame official. Director Xue said with a wry smile

The old man didn't speak, but glanced at Xue Fan playfully, with a lot of meaning in his eyes

"Ahem, I'm telling the truth!" Director Xue couldn't bear this kind of look. In the final analysis, he may not have the experience of an old man, and his face is not thick enough

"Xiaofan, let me reveal something to you, it's about you!" The old man sat on the chair and said calmly

"About me? You say! Xue Fan was a little puzzled

"Not long ago, the Supreme Chief asked a bunch of old fellows for advice on your question, and of course, your grandfather was among them, and that was about raising your military rank." The words of the old man hit Xue Fan's body like an electric current again

Military rank? Now Xue Fan's military rank is colonel. And he is also a colonel with real power, but there are soldiers under him, and he is still the kind of top soldier

If you mention it again, it's a major general!

Although the colonel and the major general are only one step away, the gap is like Mount Everest and the cape. How many colonels have been mixed for most of their lives, and when they retire, they still have two bars and four stars on their shoulders, not a gold star

It can be said that it is the glory of a lifetime for a soldier to become a general, to be honest, Xue Fan never thought that he could become a general before, but from the words of the old man of Tangtai, he heard this possibility. And this proposal was made by the supreme chief

With the prestige of the chief in the army, there is basically no problem if he agrees, and it is indeed false to say that Xue Fan is not excited

"Hehe, I think you must have refused. Even my grandfather would have refused! Xue Fan said with a smile, his tone was very determined

"Not bad. It seems that you are still very sober and not dizzy from being a general. But I'd like to hear from you yourself, what do you think about this? The old man said with great satisfaction, full of appreciation

"This is actually very easy to understand, if you want to talk about military exploits, in recent years, you have gone to the wind, come in the rain, go abroad, go to the frontier, perform the most dangerous tasks, and lead the Violent Tiger Brigade to make countless contributions, the combat merits must be enough, but I think the main reason is because of my age! After all, I'm too young, if I make a general all at once, although it is secret, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and when the time comes, it will be destroyed by Mu Xiu in the forest wind! Xue Fan analyzed with a smile

"Hehe, there is growth, yes, this is also the main reason, but it is not accurate, the specific reason is that several of our old guys voted against! So this thing didn't pass! The old man blinked his eyes and said

Uh, Xue Fan was obviously stunned for a moment, and all voted against?

Of course he is clear about the old guy that the old man said, there are not many people who know his other identity, but there are still a few on the side of the Military Commission, especially several fathers who know Lu Dao, it can be said that they are the helmsmen of several major forces in the military world, and they are also the giants of their respective forces!

Generally speaking, when it comes to important matters in military circles, the chief will usually seek their opinions

After all, it is different from before, when the former founder was there, the voice in the army was relatively unified, and the division of power was not so obvious, but since the death of that person, it has become a mountain

Xue Fan is young, but he is not impatient, and he rarely shows impulsiveness in front of his elders, and the relationship with those fathers is not bad, this is also inevitable, just imagine that in Huaxia from time to time you need to go to various places to perform tasks, if you can't get along with these powerful leaders, then what other tasks do you perform? After all, the Tyrant Tiger Brigade is not omnipotent, and it also needs support

So Xue Fan was quite surprised when he heard that several bigwigs in the military collectively voted against, and he was also a little depressed in his heart, and he was very puzzled, didn't everyone get along very well on weekdays? Why do you have to oppose it at a critical moment?

Seeing that Xue Fan was a little embarrassed, the old man was very happy

"Huh, what? Hit your self-confidence? ”

Xue Fan nodded without hesitation, indicating that he was a little hurt in his heart

"Things are not what you think, the reason why everyone opposes it is because I have a good relationship with you!" The old man said very seriously on his face

What? Is this still on good terms with me? Director Xue's mind is full of question marks at the moment, and it is the kind of question mark that rotates extremely fast!

"There is a saying that sums it up well, if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour, do you understand what this means?"

Xue Fan's brain is undoubtedly quite flexible, and the speed is also very fast, and he instantly thought of the reason, but he was even more depressed when he thought of this reason

The truth is not as complicated as imagined, since Xue Fan's identity is known to those people, he must also know some of Xue Fan's skills, he is a colonel at such a young age, and he is still the leader of the strongest soldiers in China, and his own ability is extremely strong

Besides, I don't have a good relationship with them

Imagine that any powerful force will certainly not be stupid and offend in the face of this kind of person, and it must be trying to win over in every possible way

But the problem lies precisely here, everyone has to win over such talents, but what is the attitude of the parties? No one knows this way, you see me going to win over, of course you have to stop it, I see you approaching, of course you have to stop it, thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, as long as people in the middle and high levels of the army know this truth

I can't let you grab it, and he won't let you get it

Then everyone will be fair, so that no one can get it! Therefore, on the issue of raising military ranks, everyone unanimously chose to vote against

This also made Xue Fan cry and laugh, you are in a good mood, but you can't joke about my future, you are all people with status and status, this is too nonsense

But now he can't help it, after all, his qualifications are a little shallow, and he doesn't have so much right to speak

"Hehe, everyone is not stupid, since those guys know how to rob people, and I am not confused, of course I have to place an order early, otherwise who knows if you can't resist the temptation to run to others one day, then my old man will not be at peace even if he is underground." The old man said jokingly

However, Xue Fan was still quite moved when he heard it, it was definitely luck to be recognized and even appreciated by the military bigwigs on one side, it was the same thing to be an official in the army, it was good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, and he would take many fewer detours than others if he could have the support of a strong force

"Grandpa Tantai, you have a good reputation!" The necessary humility Xue Fan still has

"Xiaofan, what is the situation of the third generation of the Shantai family, I don't need to say that you know, I believe that many families in the capital have such embarrassment, what will the family be like in more than ten years? What will it look like twenty years from now? Everyone can guess or predict this, although children and grandchildren have their own blessings, but it is easier said than done! The old man said with emotion

What is the current situation of the several major families in the capital, Xue Fan is indeed very clear, except for the Zhao family, there have been two giants among the several giant families, and the rest have gradually declined after more than ten years

Just as the saying that the rich are not more than three generations, there are not many century-old families, especially in China

The Cheng family may be able to be counted, and the Zhao family can also be counted, there was no Xue Fan behind the force in the previous life, and the Zhang family also fell later, the old people are all wise people, and they have already seen it very thoroughly

This night, the old man and Xue Fan talked a lot, including the old man's deeds back then, Xue Fan listened very seriously, and at the same time was very sad

He knew that the old man was old and liked to reminisce, and he didn't know who said that when a person likes to recall the past, that person is actually old

Xue Fan clearly remembered that the old man left a few years later

When Xue Fan left the Tantai family the next day, the old man was still resting, Xue Fan couldn't bear to wake up the old man and left, and when he left, everyone in the second and third generations of the Tantai family watched him leave

Yutai Wuming patted Xue Fan on the shoulder, and it was rare that he didn't quarrel with Xue Fan

But Tantai Mingyue had a moved look in her eyes and didn't speak

When Xue Fan left for a long time, everyone found that a row of deep footprints had been left in front of the house......

Sometimes, commitment is more important than anything, especially with certain people, certain people who have helped you! (To be continued......)
