Chapter 1063: Family Affairs and State Affairs
β¦ The wind was gentle, and it was a sunny morning, and the woods were full of old flowers. The mountains are green and green.
As usual, at seven o'clock, the command to change the guard came from the door, and after a moment it was immediately quiet, and the guard who changed the guard took the rifle in the hand of the guard at the lower sentry, and stood on the sentry, full of energy, not angry, and the iron door behind the sentry was so closed, although it was not locked, but no one wanted to walk in easily.
This is the Xishan mansion, but it is no longer the previous mansion, in the attempted military coup d'Γ©tat for 3 years, the original mansion was bombarded by the coup troops, seriously damaged, and it is no longer enough, so from the beginning of the year, a new villa began to be built, and the person who paid for it was Zhao Bei's brother-in-law, in the whole construction process, the construction of the new mansion did not use even a penny of public funds, all of them were funded by the brother-in-law, since it was a private construction, that is, how to come to luxury, No matter how comfortable it is, this new mansion is more luxurious and grandiose than the old mansion before.
After all, Zhao Bei is the president of this country, and the mansion is too well repaired, so when he inspected the construction site, he made a decisive decision to sell the land that originally belonged to the Ministry of Finance to his brother-in-law, since then, this new mansion is a complete private property, the government can't control it, and there is no need to ask, anyway, the real estate tax is paid, then the president's brother-in-law can generously take this new mansion to his old father for the elderly, As for Mr. President and Mrs. President, they only occasionally come to the Xishan Mansion to visit the old man who is already in his prime. Talk to the old man and do your filial piety.
Although it is a private property, but after all, there is Mr. President's father-in-law, and the president himself occasionally lives here for a few days, relaxing, this is equivalent to Mr. President's leisure villa, and sometimes it may even become a place for Mr. President to informally meet foreign guests, so the security work here can not be relaxed, the security work here is still undertaken by the Ministry of the Interior, and the guards standing guard at the door are the soldiers of the Ministry of the Interior, the number is not much, but a class, only when the president goes to the Xishan mansion, The vigilance measures here will be strengthened.
Now, it was more than seven o'clock, the squad leader finished breakfast, rushed to check the sentry, just after checking the sentry's military appearance and ammunition, before turning around, he heard the sound of a car horn behind him, turned around and looked, a convoy came, the head was a bodyguard car, followed by the president's brother-in-law's limousine, this is a German product, limited edition, you can't buy it, this is still given to the president by the German foreign minister when he visited China last year, and the German FΓΌhrer's special car is the same model, it is said that there are only a few in the world, However, since Mr. President has always supported domestic products, there is no reason not to sell this German car to his brother-in-law.
"Yo. Boss Han, what kind of wind blew you to Xishan today? Are you here to see the old man? Mrs. President didn't say you were coming over today.
The squad leader walked to the German limited edition car, glanced inside, in addition to the driver, there were only two passengers in the car, one was the brother-in-law of Mr. President, and the other was the wife of the brother-in-law.
Since some time ago, the president of the Republic of China, Zhao Bei, left the capital to "inspect the place", the family here is the president's wife, if there are any relatives who want to visit the house, the president's wife will generally notify the doorman in advance, so as not to ask questions, it is only the squad leader who will have this question.
"What wind? You don't know yet, do you? Today, the president came back from the newspaper and wanted to come to visit the old man, so I came in a hurry. Why, the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't inform you? You'll probably be notified soon. β
The brother-in-law explained a few words, and the squad leader hurriedly ordered the soldiers to push the iron door open, put the limousine in, and then hurried back to the barracks, sat by the telephone and waited for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to call. The Ministry of the Interior always sends a notice to the guardhouse of the residence a few minutes before the arrival of the presidential motorcade.
At half past seven o'clock, Lu Jianzhang, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, finally shook the phone and told the squad leader that the president would arrive soon and he must be ready to greet him.
Pressing down the microphone, the squad leader hurriedly gathered all the soldiers and lined up at the gate to meet the presidential motorcade.
At 7:35 a.m., the leading convoy arrived at the Xishan Mansion, and the Presidential Palace Guards immediately took over all the guarding duties here, while the officers and men of the Ministry of the Interior were given half a day's leave as usual after being cordially received by Mr. President, and took a truck from the Ministry of Ran to wander around the city.
In addition to the soldiers and officers, there are also staff and residents up and down the Xishan mansion, the housekeeper with male and female servants dressed neatly and standing on the left side of the gate, while the brother-in-law of Mr. President and his wife stand on the right side of the gate with those relatives who live in the mansion, these relatives are the younger generations of the old man Han, including the old and the young, and the brother-in-law specially summoned them to the Xishan mansion to ask them to accompany the old man to talk. And the salary is not low, in addition to the salary every month, young people can also go to private schools in the city, today is Sunday, there is no need to go to school, so this person looks like a lot, almost the gate is full.
Among the crowds that greeted the president, there was one man who stood out and was in good shape. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite similar to Zhao Bei's appearance in his youth, but it was Zhao Bei's eldest son Zhao Qiwen, who fought in the Spanish battlefield for nearly two years, this person looked extraordinarily calm, standing beside his uncle, without saying a word, until his father walked in front of him, he said a few words.
"Dad, I received a call just now, Xiaoya, Ah Zhi, and Mu Wen are still on the way, and they can only get here in the afternoon. This is Xiaoyu, she is French-Chinese, her parents were both international students who studied in France at the beginning of the Republic of China, and now she is the leader of the French Chinese Business Association. β
Zhao Qiwen said these words very generously, and then he would stand beside him
A young woman in a Western-style dress pushed in front of her and asked her father to be too young
"Uncle, Kai Man and I met in Paris. At that time, he was on vacation in Paris, and later took me with him to Spain, where I also went to war. β
The young woman saluted Zhao Bei, but it was the traditional Chinese female salute for the elders, and the manners and speech were also down-to-earth and generous, the Chinese language and etiquette were quite standard, and the appearance was also quite outstanding, and Zhao Bei was very satisfied.
"Okay, Bai Qiwen, this kid has a good eye, I approve your marriage."
Zhao Bei smiled and nodded, seeing that the future daughter-in-law was already Xia Fei's cheeks, and in shyness, he took the hand of the future mother-in-law next to him, and the mother-in-law was also smiling, pulling her daughter-in-law to turn around and leave first.
Zhao Bei patted his son on the shoulder, and then motioned for everyone to follow him into the villa.
Climb the steps of the villa. More than ten steps ahead of the voice behind him, and then Zhao Bei asked his son in a low voice.
"When will you go to Spain again this time?"
"Returning to China is for you to meet your daughter-in-law, and wait until you get married. Just go back to Spain. Zhao Qiwen said.
"Could it be that Xiaoyu's parents have already agreed? When is the dowry? Aren't you afraid that I won't agree to your marriage? Zhao Bei asked again.
"If you don't agree, I'll elope with Xiaoyu. Of course, the sooner the better, Xiaoyu's parents are now on the Siberian railway line, and they will be able to get to Beijing in a few days. Zhao Qiwen's expression was a little strange.
"In such a hurry? Can't wait? Zhao Bei was stunned.
"Can't wait. Your old man can wait, but your grandson can't. Zhao Qiwen's voice was even quieter.
"Okay, boy, it's been a generation, is it possible that the atmosphere in France is already so open? Where do you get things done? β
"On the battlefield in Spain, I went to see Xiaoyu that night. The delay was longer, and she spent the night in the field hospital where she worked, and then several more nights there, almost two months ago. β
"Love poems on the battlefield?"
Zhao Bei was really surprised, but this matter could not be publicized, and Zhao Bei immediately and wisely ended the discussion on this topic. Dragged his son to kowtow to the old man first, and chatted with a group of relatives for half an hour with the old man, and then dragged his son to the office alone to talk.
"When I received the telegram, I wondered when your boy had changed sex. I also know that I made a report to my parents before I got married, and now I understand that your kid was originally here to make up the formalities. Honestly, did you act premeditated? β
Sitting down on the sofa, Zhao Bei opened the drawer. took out a document, opened it, spread it on the desk, and then questioned Zhao Qiwen.
"It's not." Zhao Qiwen immediately denied it.
"It really wasn't a premeditated operation?"
"Not really"
"If I don't agree with your marriage to Xiaoyu, where are you going to elope?"
"Go to the South Seas."
"What are you going to do there?"
"Let's talk about it."
At this point, Zhao Bei had nothing to say, and he wanted to blame Zhao Qiwen for his blind actions, but after thinking about it, he was also one at his age. "Rebellious youth" always wants to act according to their own will, unwilling to obey the arrangements of their elders, and always thinks that the ideas of their elders have been out of the times, so Zhao Bei is also relieved, although he also knows in his heart that as a historical traveler, his ideas may never be out of the times.
Zhao Bei decided to change the topic, so he asked, "Qiwen, do you really plan to go back to the Spanish battlefield after getting married?" β
"That's up to you, if you let me go to the fighting unit, I won't go back to the Spanish battlefield. Not long ago, the "Second South Sea War." I didn't catch up. Now there is a war between China and Britain because of the "Turkish-Iraqi war." Tensions between long-delayed issues. I want to be able to contribute to my country. β
Zhao Qiwen said this. When I went to look at my father, I found that my father was looking through the document with his head down. I don't know if I'm listening to him carefully.
"Do you think there will definitely be a war between China and Britain?" Zhao Bei closed the document and raised his head to look at his son's face.
Zhao Qiwen thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I think. In the past year, my father has been busy with the matter of "the liberation of Asia," and this move is probably not without a purpose, although the most powerful public opinion in advocating "the liberation of Asia" is the non-governmental newspapers and radio stations, but without my father's support, this kind of public opinion would not have become the mainstream of domestic public opinion at present, and the nationalist elements in various parts of Asia would not be so excited. β
"You say this as if I were a conspirator. But ah, your analysis of strategy has improved, and it looks like the Spanish Civil War has been beneficial to your workout. Well, you don't have to go back to the Spanish battlefield, return to active duty, go to the combat units of the Chinese Air Force. β
Zhao Bei stood up and nodded, he was quite satisfied with his son's strategic analysis, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, what Zhao Qiwen's thoughts were. Zhao Bei is actually very clear.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Zhao Qiwen stood upright, saluted, and his expression was very calm.
"Don't thank me yet, let's think about how to arrange your wife after reinstating your status as an active soldier, is it with the army, or is it just living in Xishan Villa? In addition, in a few days, I will take you to Hubei. Visit the test flight of a new fighter jet, and you will be joined by a group of ace pilots in the "Second South Seas War". You all have actual combat experience, but the enemy fighters you deal with are somewhat different, I hope you will communicate more at that time, give reference opinions, and facilitate manufacturers to improve the design of new fighters, in the future. This new fighter is going to come in handy. β
"Yes"
Zhao Qiwen nodded, at this time, he finally couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore, he knew that his father had finally given him a promise, a promise to contribute to the country.
