Chapter 158: Flying Melody
On the top floor of the Dynasty International Hotel, it is known as the "flying melody". The four sides are made of tempered glass, which is heavy, thick and transparent, and can rotate slowly at a given speed and direction as a whole. When you open the window, you will be greeted by a fresh, pleasant, moist sea breeze. As far as the eye can see, the night view of the oceanside with colorful fire trees and silver flowers can be seen at a glance. It makes people flutter, as if they are in paradise on earth, Penglai fairyland. It is a famous scenery for sightseeing in the ocean, and it is also the first choice for many tourists to dine leisurely.
In the evening, the "flying melody" that is usually full of tourists and bustling with people, although it is also brightly lit as day, but it is quiet and quiet, and there is no sound at all, which seems to be unusually cold and silent. The restaurant has been rearranged to create a sea of flowers, a world of fruits, and a trade fair of food, drinks, and drinks. Especially on the elegant dining table that can accommodate dozens of people, flowers are blooming and delicate, accompanied by green leaves, crystal green. "Huashan" is surrounded by plates, plates, pots of delicacies and delicacies of the mountains and seas and strange delicacies that are bubbling with the aroma of the nose. The number of them, the innumerable, and the variety of them, have never been seen before. And the most amazing thing is that those dazzling and mouth-watering dishes will be driven by the table machinery, quietly and silently moving along the "flower mountain", so that you can taste different flavors without realizing it.
Lan Yuhua, deputy director of the National Security Bureau, was straight and stood high at the head of the table. Although he still looks cold and uninhibited, he exudes an irrepressible joy and excitement all over his body. To his right were six or seven young men in plain clothes. The young men were all energetic and heroic, and their faces were filled with indescribable excitement and pride. This is naturally all the intelligence analysts in the "Tiangong" war room. Sitting opposite the young soldier was Liang Jingxuan's personal bodyguard, who had no chance to participate in the rescue mission. They were not as solemn and cautious as the young soldiers, but they were unusually relaxed and extremely happy, and from time to time they lowered their heads and whispered and muttered, and occasionally burst into bursts of suppressed and muffled laughter.
Translator Wu Yun also came, but he looked a little lonely. Xiao Ming is inconvenient due to his leg injury and is currently undergoing careful treatment at Binyang First Hospital.
When Xu Wenlong and his entourage, under the guidance of a Japanese waitress in a kimono, walked into the restaurant with high spirits, there was a long and warm applause in the restaurant. The young soldiers and bodyguards all stood up in unison, clapping and smiling and shouting, "Welcome, welcome, welcome......"
Li Xianghua glanced at the delicate and gentle waiter in front of him, lowered his voice and muttered: "Damn, it's so grand, I almost thought I had become the prime minister of Japan!" β
Deputy Bureau Lan greeted Xu Wenlong and the others, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome, come, come, here, here, please ...... here."
The young soldiers and bodyguards followed suit, and they flocked to them like stars and moons.
Xu Wenlong said to everyone apologetically. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Deputy Director Lan replied without mind: "It's okay, it's the same if you come late or early, it's okay anyway." Today's main task is to eat and drink to your heart's content, without distractions, without getting drunk and not returning! β
"Yes, yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! You guys have worked so hard, it's amazing! The bodyguards were like half hosts, echoing one by one, dragging Liu Qiang and the others very affectionately, and pulling them to the seats next to them one by one.
The waiter politely came to the seat of Deputy Bureau Lan and said in a very coquettish and gentle voice: "Dear sir, please slow down, we are leaving." β
"Thank you, please take care of yourself." Deputy Lan said with a wave of his hand.
The waiters bowed to everyone in unison, lowered their eyebrows and stepped back. Because of the special circumstances of this banquet, in order to prevent the rescue from leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble, Deputy Director Lan asked to abandon all irrelevant personnel, even the waiters.
After sitting down, Deputy Director Lan cleared his throat and said in a low and relaxed tone: "Comrades, entrusted by President Liang Jingxuan Liang, we are holding a grand welcome dinner here to wash the dust and celebrate the warriors who were born and died and returned triumphantly!" β
The applause paused and lasted for a long time. Wu Yun and Xie Lian, who were talking in a low voice, were also busy clapping.
"As we all know, this mission is dangerous and arduous, and every step is terrifying, comparable to a tiger's mouth pulling teeth and a lion's mouth snatching food! It is not easy not only to penetrate into the enemy base that is 100 times 100 times 1000 times larger than yourself, but also to bring out three hostages who are weak and have difficulty moving! Deputy Director Lan swept over the commandos present one by one with a majestic gaze, puffed up his chest and said in a proud tone, "But, you have done it, you have succeeded, congratulations!" You are well-deserved Chinese soldiers and veritable iron-blooded warriors! Come on, come on, cheers together! β
The young soldiers and bodyguards stood up one after another, raised their glasses and replied with emotion: "Cheers, cheers, toast to the warriors who have returned triumphantly!" β
Xu Wenlong picked up a glass of wine and said sincerely and modestly: "We went deep into Africa this time, and we were able to escape with the hostages alone, which was bought by all the commandos who were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and had the courage to sacrifice!" In particular, the interpreter Wu Yun and the soldier Comrade Xiao Ming, even though they were physically wounded, still held their positions and vowed to stay to stop the enemy, thus winning precious time for the safe evacuation of the hostages and other team members! We have a special thank you to them! β
Wu Yun scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. Xiao Ming's bodyguards were overjoyed and praised their captains.
"Of course, our victory is inseparable from all the operational commanders of the 'Heavenly Palace'!" Xu Wenlong looked at Deputy Director Lan and the young soldier and said sincerely, "It is precisely because you monitor the enemy base around the clock and send us the latest and fastest information in a timely and accurate manner that we can keep abreast of the enemy's movements, strike at the enemy in a planned and purposeful manner, and protect ourselves." Therefore, you have worked hard, you have played the greatest role, and you are the real heroes behind the scenes! β
The applause rang out like a torrent of applause again......
Deputy Bureau Lan smiled and looked at Xu Wenlong, who was talking eloquently.
"Finally," Xu Wenlong said after a pause, "we would also like to thank our friendly troopsβthe American Delta Special Forces who fell from the sky when we were being pursued and unable to escape." If they hadn't shown up in time and pulled out their swords, we would have paid a terrible price and could have even led to the complete failure of the entire operation! β
Deputy Director Lan held up his glass and said happily: "Yes, the American special forces were born, which really solved your worries and enabled you to turn the tide of the war at the last moment. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is actually reasonable. The wonderful thing is that the tactics and timing they chose matched us so amazingly! Come on, let's come together and toast to the victory of this operation, for Liang Shiqi to be able to go home smoothly, and to all those who have made great contributions in the action! β
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, all of them were indescribably heroic and straightforward.
