Chapter 242: Looking Forward

Ge Yunfei flew to the capital on a military transport plane in which Yu Wenqing was riding, and landed at Nanyuan Airport in Beijing. On the apron side of the airport, President Duan Qirui, Premier Xu Shichang, Cabinet Minister Yang Du, Minister of Industry Yan Xishan, etc. Military representatives: Jiang Fangzhen, Vice Minister of the Army, Cai Yi, Commander of the Central Cluster, and Shan Feng, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, greeted them.

As soon as they met, Duan Qirui said with concern: "Brother Ge, this is a solo adventure." Ever since you came ashore from Haiphong, every day I asked Shan Feng to report your whereabouts, do you know what it's like to be scared? โ€

"Thank you for the president's concern, I'm not safe and sound!" "Chief Ge, your safety is related to the safety of the national government, and this is not your personal matter!" Xu Shichang did not relent. "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example!" Jiang Fangzhen said: "Chief Chief, you have embarrassed Shan Feng, you have to secretly protect your safety, but also can't disturb you." Ge Yunfei looked for Shan Feng's figure and waved, Shan Feng nodded, his expression seemed to be unburdened. After the lively scene of reunion after a long absence, Duan Qirui proposed to go to the presidential palace to wash the dust for Ge Yunfei.

Mrs. Wenqing was concerned about the children, and returned home like an arrow. When the group arrived at the presidential palace and everyone sat down in the restaurant, President Duan Qirui said: "Chief Ge doesn't like luxury, so I will be in charge of the presidential dining room to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and show a little affection for the wine and vegetables." "Thank you for the president's kindness, and you're welcome." After the wine and food were served, Duan Qirui raised his glass and said: "This first glass of wine is a toast to President Ge's trip to Europe, and he will return with a lot of honor!" โ€

Duan Qirui took the lead in toasting, and Xu Shichang stood up and said, "This second glass of wine is a toast to Chief Ge's triumphant return!" Jiang Fangzhen stood up and said: "This third glass of wine is a toast to President Ge's prestige in our country!" Yang Du stood up and said: "This fourth glass of wine, the strong friendship is in the wine, and it also represents everyone's ardent hope, toast to you!" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi's face was slightly red and he said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this trip to Europe by President Ge has consolidated the status of a big country. Only when a country is strong can it gain the respect of others. In particular, Mr. Ge's self-confidence, freedom and personality charm conquered the Europeans. โ€

Duan Qirui said: "The European powers can recognize our status as a great power, which is what Chief Ge led the iron-blooded army in exchange. President Ge's visit to Europe has prompted us to establish equal bilateral relations with Britain, France, and Germany, and we will step onto the world stage. How to show the demeanor of a great country in the future is a long way to go. Just as General Secretary Ge said, we must not only become a military power, but also a science and technology and economic power. We will redouble our efforts to achieve this ambitious goal. โ€

Xu Shichang said: "The five-year plan proposed by the government focuses on the development of transportation. In five years, 20,000 kilometers of trunk railways and 50,000 kilometers of roads will be laid. In the next five years, it is necessary to complete the trunk railways from Xi'an to Lanzhou and Lanzhou to Dihua, and to complete the railway from Xi'an to Shenmu and extend Baotou. Jiangnan should complete the trunk railway from Guangzhou to Nanning, Guilin, Kunming and CD. In the north, the main railway ยทยทยทยทยทยท from Beijing to Kulun should be completed. โ€

Xu Shichang talked eloquently, his face flashing with excitement. Subsequently, the Minister of Industry Yan Xishan introduced the five-year industrial development plan, Yan Xishan said in more detail, perhaps because of the nature of calculation, and the specific data are very clear. Duan Qirui couldn't help but be excited: "According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance, as of December, our industrial and commercial tax revenue has exceeded the agricultural tax revenue, and the state government is fully capable of providing funds for the development of railways, highways and key industrial construction in the next five years. โ€

Ge Yunfei listened attentively, and his heart was extremely happy. Although the pattern of development is gratifying, the most commendable thing is the change in people. If everyone puts their minds into developing the economy and the well-being of the people, and everyone is moving towards one goal, the country is on the right path. Unity and unity, this is the goal that Ge Yunfei wants to achieve, and it is also his sacred mission. Now that this situation has formed, it is to throw off his arms and do it. โ€

Several ministers said almost the same, and their eyes invariably aimed at Ge Yunfei. Ge Yunfei stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is gratifying and pressing, and with the great economic development, it is inevitable that all kinds of contradictions will appear, and how to resolve these contradictions depends on the wisdom of everyone. The eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, but to compete benignly, the government's duty is to be a good judge. The key is to put in place supervision, put an end to industry monopolies, and severely punish speculators who make profits by fraudulent means or produce counterfeit goods. In particular, those who manufacture and sell counterfeit medicines and food products are found to be severely punished. A society governed by the rule of law cannot rely on self-consciousness, and it must be restrained and managed by strong laws. โ€

On the topic of Ge Yunfei, everyone began to gossip again. In the end, it was Jiang Fangzhen's turn to speak. "Commander-in-chief, in the past few months since you left, the military deployment has been carried out smoothly according to your requirements. The 1st Tank Regiment and the 1st Flying Regiment of the Central Cluster were deployed in Pyongyang. The 2nd Tank Regiment and the 2nd Flying Regiment were deployed in Kulen. The 3rd Tank Regiment and the 3rd Flying Regiment were deployed in Dihua. The 4th Tank Regiment and the 4th Flying Regiment were deployed in Qiqihar. โ€

"Aviation units are mainly deployed in the coastal zone, with the 5th Flying Regiment deployed in Dalian and the 6th Flying Regiment deployed in Weihai. The 7th and 8th Flight Regiments are deployed in Shanghai, the 9th Flight Regiment is deployed in Taipei, the 10th Flight Regiment is deployed in Kaohsiung, the 11th Flight Regiment is deployed in Guangzhou, and the 12th Flight Regiment is deployed in Sanya, Hainan Island. Taking into account the characteristics of the west, the 5th and 6th tank regiments are deployed in Lanzhou and can maneuver to the west at any time. The Central Cluster Independent Armored Division and the Independent Aviation Division were stationed in the capital as mobile units. In addition, all tank regiments and flying regiments can be rapidly expanded into division-level units in wartime. โ€

"450,000 people are reserved in the central cluster, 300,000 in the western cluster and 150,000 in the southern cluster. The border guards remain 300,000 people. According to the national defense plan, the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet will be formed. The total strength of the Air Force and Navy is about 1.5 million, including foreign garrisons, logistics units, national defense military hospitals and military academies. The commander-in-chief demanded that in the future, the building of the national defense forces should follow the line of elite troops, and that the central and western clusters should all be mechanized by then. โ€

"The 10-year plan of the Ministry of Defense focuses on the development of the Air Force and armored forces, as well as the development of new combat aircraft and tank fighting vehicles. For the time being, naval construction will focus on coastal combat ships, and efforts will be made to form an aircraft carrier fleet by 30 years. In the future, our imaginary enemy will be Soviet Russia, and little Japan has nothing to fear. Intelligence shows that Japan is financially struggling, and has cut half of the funds for naval construction to develop its air force, and as the commander-in-chief said, small Japan can only strengthen its own defense, and the minions of expansion have been cut off. โ€

Ge Yunfei interjected: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and let everyone understand this truth." It is not as simple as shouting slogans, the purpose of strengthening the army is to contain war, and our national defense forces must be ready to fight at any time, and they must be able to win the war. In the future, the troops will have to drill actual combat confrontation every year, and they must not put their swords and guns into storage. Only in this way can we safeguard the peace of the country and maintain peace forever. In addition, the arms industry is the most profitable, and we must have a place in the world arms market. โ€

Duan Qirui said: "Chief Ge is not only a military wizard, but also has the ability to discover business opportunities. Not long ago, we signed another arms deal in the Far Eastern Republic. They learned about the power of tanks and combat vehicles through combat tests, and verified that tanks are the nemesis of cavalry. In the defense of Lake Baikal, the Ksak cavalry was powerless. The Far Eastern Republic decided to purchase 50 more warplanes, 50 tank fighting vehicles, 300 military trucks, 200 howitzers. In addition, Brazil in South America decided to buy 5,000 Zhonghua Type III semi-automatic rifles with 1 million rounds of ammunition. โ€

Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "Good luck can't stop it, arms can open the South American market, and our industrial products will follow." Xu Shichang said: "According to the report of the Brazilian minister, they are very satisfied with the Zhonghua Type III semi-automatic rifle and highly affirm our manufacturing capacity. A business delegation from the Brazilian government has already departed from China to China, and we have done a good job of receiving it. In addition, preparations for next year's Shanghai New Weapons Exhibition are also beginning to be made. โ€

Ge Yunfei returned with honors, and everyone's hope for a safe return is the top priority. Nowadays, Ge Yunfei is like the backbone of everyone, like a needle of the sea god. During his absence, many major events that have occurred or are about to happen can only be regarded as complete if they are told to him in person. The president's light meal lasted from noon to evening and ended late at night. Nominally, it was to wash the dust for Ge Yunfei, but it turned into a working meal for major decisions.

Late at night, Ge Yunfei dragged his tired body back home. When breaking up with Shan Feng, Ge Yunfei said: "We'll talk again tomorrow, I'm too tired today." "Chief, even if you want to talk about me, I'll refuse, see you tomorrow!" "See you tomorrow!" Shan Feng watched Ge Yunfei's figure walk into the courtyard before leaving with confidence.

Mrs. Wenqing was waiting in the living room, and when she saw him walk in, she said angrily: "Yunfei, what time is it, and I don't know how to take care of my body." Ge Yunfei's eyes were fixed on the grandfather clock, and the hour and minute hands were already pointing to 12 midnight.

"I want to come back soon, but I can't help myself! The kids are asleep! "You still have children in your heart, all year round, you can live at home for a few days, even if you live at home, you will leave early and return late, and the children will already treat you as a stranger!" "Ruthless may not be a real hero, I also want to enjoy the joy of family, but the sense of mission tells me that I can only give up my small family to take care of everyone. This country wants to take back the wasted time, and every minute and second is extremely precious. It's not a slogan, it's a time to wait! โ€

"I think it's true that they want you back! You have thought about everything, and everything is naturally inseparable from you! "Solving incurable diseases is my forte, and it is understandable to consult with me. Now Yang Du has become my spokesperson, and tomorrow's itinerary is full of arrangements. Ge Yunfei didn't finish a cup of tea, sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep on the table. Wen Qing put her coat on her husband in distress, sat silently and sighed.
