This time I have the opportunity to finally meet the president.

The car drove slowly into the White House.

The White House, also known as the White House, is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. The White House is owned by the U.S. National Park Service and is part of the "President's Park." The picture on the back of the $20 bill is the White House.

The White House is a white neoclassical sandstone building located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. Because the White House is the residence and office of the President of the United States, the term "White House" often refers to the U.S. government

The White House covers a total area of more than 73,000 square meters. It consists of three parts: the main building and the east and west wings. The main building is 51.51 meters wide and 25.75 meters deep, with four floors: the ground floor, the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor. The White House is the place where the President of the United States works and lives, so it has become synonymous with the United States government. On the ground floor, there is a diplomatic reception hall, a library, a map room, a porcelain room, a gold and silver room, and an office for the White House administrators.

The oval-shaped diplomatic reception hall is the place where the president receives foreign heads of state and envoys, and is covered with an oval-shaped patterned carpet with a sky blue background, embroidered with the symbols of the 50 states of the United States, and a huge circular oil painting depicting the American landscape on the wall.

The State Floor, which is accessed from the main entrance, consists of five main rooms, from west to east: the State Room, the Red Room, the Blue Room, the Green Room, and the East Room.

The East Room is the largest room in the White House that can accommodate up to 300 guests and is primarily used for large receptions, balls, and celebrations of various commemorative ceremonies. Many important events in history took place here: the remains of seven presidents were parked here, the weddings of many presidents' daughters were held here, Roosevelt watched a Japanese sumo wrestling performance here, and Kennedy enjoyed a beautiful performance here.

The Oval Office of the President's Office is the most curious, perhaps because the country's top leader is there to govern the affairs of the country. The Oval Office is located next to the West Wing, opposite the President's Rose Garden.

Entering the main entrance of the White House, the east room is the largest room in the White House, and there are already more than 100 people in it, and the three of them are also guided here by the guards, and they see that there are many people waiting here in front.

The guards led them through the side door into the garden at the back, where there was only one person, Mr. President, who was excited.

After seeing Chen Mingzhe and the three of them come in, he immediately shook hands with the director, "You have worked hard in this business." ”

The director is just happy, this time it is very exciting, Richard has also seen the president, and hurriedly shook hands with the president, and finally it is Chen Mingzhe's turn, Chen Mingzhe is somewhat excited, and secretly laughs at himself in his heart, it seems that his concentration is still not good, and he is still very nervous to be received by the president, the current president is no longer the president of ten years ago, the current president is young and handsome.

The handsome and young president said with a smile on his face: "Your CIA has done a good job in this mission. General Chen, in particular, has all these years cleared Europe of hostile secret service groups, recaptured French nuclear weapons, destroyed the remnants of fascist Germany, and this time destroyed the special weapons systems of the evil Soviet Union. ”

As he spoke, the president took out a cigar and gave one to all three, all of whom were a little flattered.

The president said: "These pieces and scenes are really commendable. ”

Chen Mingzhe immediately saluted, "Thank you, President, I will continue to work hard to defend democracy and freedom in the United States of America." ”

"Haha, not just to defend democratic freedoms in the United States of America, but to defend the entire liberal democratic world. Do you understand! ”

"Understood, we got it." Chen Mingzhe gave a military salute.

The president said: "Actually, I wanted to invite you to this party, but for the sake of confidentiality, I will not invite you, and we will talk about the situation separately." ”

Getting back to business, Chen Mingzhe and the three of them immediately put away their expressions, and Chen Mingzhe made a specific report.

The more the president listened, the more surprised he became, the more serious and nervous he became, and even the cigarette in his hand burned to the point that he had not yet let go.

The director next to him quickly reminded the president, and the president hurriedly put down the cigarette in his hand and wiped his fingers with a towel.

The president looked at Chen Mingzhe with a very friendly and trusting gaze, nodded and said: "Your mission has been completed very well this time, and I have already suggested that the Ministry of Defense promote you to major general." ”

"Thank you, President" all three stood up at the same time, the first major general of Chinese descent in the history of the United States.

The director stayed for the party, and Richard left the White House with Chen.

When the president saw Chen Mingzhe leaving, the smile on his face slowly faded, and it seemed that there was more deep meaning, and it slowly became a little dim.

On the way back, Chen Mingzhe was a little excited, and Richard was also happy for Chen Mingzhe.

"With the president's opinion, it's much easier to talk about it from the Ministry of Defense, but I've heard that there are people who have opinions and opinions about your promotion, and it may have an impact on your promotion, so you have to be careful and vigilant," Richard said. ”

Chen Mingzhe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if he had a premonition, but he was not sure which direction.

It wasn't until many days after returning to the United States that Chen Mingzhe finally knew the reason.

On this day, Chen Mingzhe finished sorting out the report of his trip to the Soviet Union in his office and handed it to Deputy Director Richa.

Richa and Chen Mingzhe exchanged two sentences, and the two did not talk much about the Ministry of National Defense's delay in issuing an order to promote major generals, and Chen Mingzhe was also a little suspicious, did the president just say it casually?

Chen Mingzhe did not wait for the Ministry of National Defense to issue an order to promote major general, but he waited for very bad news.

Chen Mingzhe had just returned to the office, and Huang Shan, who had previously belonged to the Ministry of National Defense and had many acquaintances there, came in a hurry.

After seeing Chen Mingzhe, he said a little nervously: "Hurry up, follow me." ”

Jennifer next to her also seemed to be a little anxious, the three of them got into Chen Mingzhe's car, and Huangshan drove directly to Washington Hospital, which was five kilometers away from here.

After hearing Robert wake up, Chen Mingzhe hurriedly said: "When did you wake up, didn't he wake up when I went yesterday?" ”

"He just woke up this morning, but the injury is still very serious, he only woke up once. He fainted again, and the doctor said that his condition was very troublesome, and it was probably difficult to survive. ”

"Let's go over and take a look. What the hell is going on? ”

Huang Shan said: "There is a big problem there, and he has a lot of people around him who don't know who brought it in. ”

"There's the CIA, there's the Department of Defense, there's people from all systems, and there's even a lot of journalists."

"Is it"? Chen Mingzhe was taken aback, "Who brought these people?" ”

"I don't know, it should be brought by someone with a heart. If the anti-expectations are good, it's probably for you. ”

Chen Mingzhe was shocked. However, after many years of unfazed attitude, he immediately calmed down. "It won't necessarily go wrong this time."

"I'm afraid that more people will be fanned among these people."

"You must be careful, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by people with good intentions to make trouble, and you will end up in a mess."

The two hurried to the hospital. There were many more people in it than Huang Shan and Chen Mingzhe thought. I dare not say that it is a crowd of people, but it is also passionate.
