The eldest lady Ulan Tuya didn't expect Wang Maoru to make her birthday so big, a few days ago, her son just wanted to celebrate her birthday, so she said that he would toss it. Unexpectedly, Zong Ou sued Wang Maoru, and Wang Maoru not only celebrated her birthday, but also used this reason to communicate with his subordinates and announce his personal decision to quit the military - although this is already a well-known thing.

The housekeeper Wang Peng was very happy, but seeing that the guests who came didn't even have seats, he had a sad face, so he had to tell Wang Maoru that if you don't send invitations to banquets, it's strange that officials of the Ministry of National Defense don't come to participate.

Wang Maoru didn't expect so many people to come to the house, and originally planned to dine at home, but there were too many people coming, so Bai Shunzi immediately called the German restaurant and asked for a reservation. The German restaurant was a little flustered and said that there was not so much food prepared today, and the matter was a little rushed, but since it was the matter of the old friend Generalissimo Shangwu Wang Maoru, they would definitely be able to handle it, please give them an hour to prepare.

The efficiency of the Germans is really high, and they are ready in an hour, Wang Maoru said that the family is too small, let's go to the German restaurant to celebrate Ulan Tuya, Wang Maoru's children are happy.

If it weren't for Wang Maoru's face, the rigid and rigorous Germans would not have accepted the temporary arrangement of the German restaurant into a Chinese restaurant.

The leaders of the various departments of the Wehrmacht had arrived, and Wang Maoru saw that the personnel had arrived one after another, and dinner had originally started at four o'clock, but because of a series of tosses, it was postponed to seven o'clock in the evening, and the German Grand Restaurant was forced to borrow a few cooks from the Ouchi Imperial Palace, which was finally completed at this time.

Wang Maoru looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock, so he got up and raised his glass and said: "Everyone, thank you for coming to the birthday banquet today, I, Wang Xiusheng, am here to give you a drink." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Wang Maoru poured another glass of wine and said, "In addition to thanking you for your face-to-face participation in the banquet. Xiusheng would also like to thank some of you. He stood up, walked past Jiang Fangzhen, patted Jiang Fangzhen's shoulder and said loudly: "Thank you old brothers, thank you old partners." He walked past Gai Tianjiu again, patted Gai Tianjiu's arm, and said loudly: "Xiusheng can have today." Thanks to the support of the brothers. Xiusheng just said the name, and I can't finish it today, so this second cup of wine, Xiusheng salutes my brothers in life and death. Raise a glass, my brothers in life and death, drink this glass of wine together. A glass of wine, a lifetime of love, a lifetime of brothers, never forget! ”

"A glass of wine, a lifetime of love, a brother, never forget!" Everyone was also infected by Wang Maoru's words. Today is the day when Wang Maoru bids farewell to the National Defense Army, and it is also Wang Maoru's summary of his life in the army. In the past 12 years, Wang Maoru has achieved the ultimate that a Chinese person can do, he ended the warlord melee, he opened up the territory, he fought against the great powers, he suffered betrayal, he valued love and righteousness, and he inherited the spirit of Beiyang......

The eyes of more than two hundred officers in the German restaurant converged on him.

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Brothers, this third glass of wine." It's a farewell drink. When he said this, his eyes welled up with tears, twelve years, twelve years in the barracks, he went from a scholar to the generalissimo of the Wehrmacht. From a 26-year-old youth to a 38-year-old middle-aged man, from a somewhat ambitious and clever person to the real power of China, now known as the nine-tailed fox.

Say goodbye, how can you be reluctant?

"Generalissimo!"

"Generalissimo!"

"Generalissimo!" Everyone shouted.

Wang Maoru smiled with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, I originally planned to announce in a few days, today I will take advantage of this festive day, take advantage of my wife's birthday banquet, and by the way, I will talk to my brothers first." This glass of wine is a farewell wine, and it is also a farewell wine that you drink with me. Even though I'm out of the military, I think we'll see each other again soon. I hope that when we meet again, you can join me in working hard, struggling, and fighting for New China. I will also join hands with you on another platform to forge a strong and great country that belongs to our descendants of China. ”

"Cheers, everyone!"

"Cheers!"

It's not power that is reluctant, it's not the past that is reluctant, it's affection that he doesn't give up, that's the affection he devotes himself wholeheartedly to. Twelve years ago to now, how many old brothers have died, take a look, compared to the brothers who participated in the wedding banquet when they married their wives when Hulunbuir was fighting the country, who is missing?

Niu Delu committed suicide due to corruption.

Lu Jinsheng, one of the earliest battalion commanders and later the chief of the Hulunbuir Fire Department, died fighting grassland fires.

The old Xiucai Xu Laofu, who returned to his hometown in Hebei after retiring after retiring from the War to unify the Northeast, was trampled to death because of the frightened horses at home.

GUO Buluo. Long Qing, died in the war in support of the Russian Civil War.

Xiong Bingtao, Zhu Huailong, Li Guoqiang, and Qi Dian were assassinated on the way back to the northeast by train.

Bai Bao Tian died of pneumonia during the battle of reunification.

He Rufei: He was shot by Wang Maoru for launching a mutiny.

Niu Delu was shot by Wang Maoru for launching a mutiny.

Ma Haoming, one of Wang Maoru's earliest personal guards, died in the suppression of bandits in Henan.

Some people are gone, some people have joined, in the past twelve years, he has experienced too many changes in the army, too many lives and deaths he has seen, and how many people have flashed like meteors. Some people are old, some are gone, and they are still alive and want to live for a higher purpose. People sometimes want to get drunk, but they can't, and Wang Maoru is like this. Everyone saw that Wang Maoru was not in a good mood today, but Ulan Tuya, as Wang Maoru's wife, raised her glass very generously and said: "Brothers, my family is prosperous, and I have been taken care of by my brothers for so many years. Now he is retiring from the military and entering politics, although he can't eat, sleep, sleep and fight together as before, but everyone is still brothers. I salute all my brothers, eight years ago, it was you brothers who witnessed my marriage with Xiusheng, and eight years later, you brothers again. Don't say anything, I'll do it, brothers, the friendship remains the same! ”

"Sister-in-law! Cheers! ”

"Brother and sister, cheers!" Wang Maoru's old brother raised his glass and shouted, no one talked about this Mongolian princess who usually eats fasting and recites Buddha, but she actually has such a heroic side, and she is really the daughter of the Mongolian steppe and the descendant of Genghis Khan.

Wang Maoru smiled at Ulan Tuya, his smile was full of apologies, and he messed up her birthday. Ulan Tuya winked at her, just as naughty and cunning as he was when he saw her eight years ago, and in an instant, Wang Maoru's heart was full of emotion and gratitude, a good woman is the one who gives herself strength when she is most helpless.

After the dinner, Wang Maoru returned home a little drunk, and several other ladies hurriedly came to serve, wiping their faces, washing their feet and beating their backs and massage, he said that everyone should go back and rest, and today he was like a person to be quiet. Ulan Tuya said that everyone had dispersed, and was about to go back, so Zong Ou pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "Eji, I have a gift for you." ”

"What gift?"

"Birthday present." Zong Ou laughed, took Ulan Tuya's hand and ran to the tool room, took out the bow and arrow that he and his father had made together, and said proudly: "This is what I did with Abba, and most of it was made by me." ”

Ulan Tuya was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad, Xiaoou." You're very clever. ”

Zong Ou said happily: "Eji, what do you mean by Abba today?" ”

"What?"

Zong Ou said: "Abba cried today, aren't you happy?" ”

Ulan Tuya smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ou, your father will not lead troops to fight in the future, so he is a little sad." He was a soldier, but in order to better lead the country, for more power, he had to leave his post. ”

Zong Ou said: "I don't understand Eji, so will Abba have more time with us in the future?" ”

Ulan Tuya said: "Maybe he will have more time." ”

Zong Ou clapped his hands happily and said, "That's great, I like to be with Abba and let him accompany me, but it's a pity that Abba always works." ”

Ulan Tuya looked at his child, with a little guilt and a trace of resentment towards Wang Maoru, stroked the child's head and said: "When you grow up, you will know why your father is so busy, and your father also likes you, but he has too many things." ”

Zong Ou nodded as if he didn't understand and went back to rest.

Ulan Tuya sat next to Wang Maoru, washed a hand towel, gently put it on Wang Maoru's forehead, and said, "Are you reluctant?" ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "A little reluctant." He looked at her and said gratefully: "Ninth Princess, your cousin today is handsome, worthy of being the Ninth Princess of the Prairie." ”

Ulan Tuya laughed and said, "What, don't you accept it?" ”

Wang Maoru suddenly said: "How can I marry you at the beginning, but there are three conditions, the first can beat you, the second can drink you, and the third ......."

"Third, you have to write me a poem." Ulan Tuya mentioned this qi and said, "Hmph, you haven't written it to me, don't think I'll forget, I won't forget until I die, you wait, I won't serve you when you're old." ”

Wang Maoru laughed, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it." ”

"You've been thinking about it for eight years, and you still want to!" Ulan Tuya seems to have returned to the past today, and her character as the ninth princess is still so naughty and cute.

Wang Maoru said: "If you don't think about it carefully, I'm sorry for you." ”

Ulan Tuya leaned on his shoulder, and after a long time, he said, "Xiusheng, I think Zongzhou, he can speak now, right?" As he spoke, he left a line of tears, "I miss my son...... I'm damned, I'm ...... I...... I shouldn't have sent him that far. ”

Wang Maoru sighed and said, "In a few days, I'll arrange it for you, and you can go and see him secretly." ”

Ulan Tuya suddenly said excitedly: "Where is he? I'm going to check it out now. ”

Wang Maoru said: "I don't know, but Feng Yinbin knows that I will arrange this matter." You go and rest, I want to be alone and quiet. ”

"Hmm." Ulan Tuya knew that he was full of worries, and advised: "Xiusheng, you rest early and pay attention to your body." ”

Wang Maoru smiled and nodded at her.
