When the sky was bright, Liu Yun, Zhang Zhigao, and Mo Ning returned to the temporary headquarters on the third basement floor of the Ministry of National Defense Building.

Major Su Mengxin, Liu Yun's adjutant general, who was waiting at the door of the No. 1 secret room, immediately greeted him: "Report to the chief, the first and second assault teams of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion have completed their operational preparations for raiding the enemy base and are ready to attack at any time!" ”

"Order the first and second teams to be on standby in six-hour shifts."

"Yes!"

Su Mengxin obeyed the order, and the guards at the door opened the thick metal door of the secret room for Liu Yun and the others, and as soon as the three of them entered the door, they all showed surprise on the ground.

"Isn't that wrong?"

Zhang Zhigao was not asking anyone.

"Maybe ......"

Liu Yun responded meaninglessly.

"Yes."

Mourning spoke meaninglessly.

The huge oval combination conference table in the center of the room magically disappeared, replaced by several ordinary desks, among which a table near the door was placed on the A2 communication terminal, and the pock-like Chancellor of the Exchequer, Han Lang, sat on duty in front of the nineteen-inch LCD monitor with his legs crossed, and leisurely picked between his teeth with a toothpick, looking half dead by food.

On the table behind Han Lang was a laptop with a fourteen-inch monitor, and Lieutenant General Gu Yingyang, chief of the Intelligence Division of the General Staff, was busy lying in front of this computer, steaming from the dark green coffee cup in his hand.

On the table behind Gu Yingyang, four hand-cranked telephones and large stacks of maps and documents were laid out, and General Yang Zhengjin, chief of the General Staff and commander of the Zhili Military Region, was foaming at the mouth of the army to give orders to the troops within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, while General Hu Ke, chief of operations, was constantly writing and drawing on the map, but the most striking thing was the white steam rising behind them.

On a desk that can no longer be ordinary, there is an ordinary charcoal-fired hot pot, a plate of chicken offal, beef slices, mutton slices, fish fillets, pork liver, pig intestines, squid, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach and other raw materials like stars and moons around the hot pot that seems to be some kind of sacred monument, a housewife wearing an apron and holding her hair is using chopsticks to press the cabbage that has just been put into the pot, and there are a few middle-aged men on the table who are immersed in eating hard.

"It's back...... Come over for a late-night snack. ”

The housewife, the Minister of Culture and Education, His Excellency Luo Sulan, smiled and raised her chopsticks to the three ministers at the door, and the melting happiness was silently permeated in the basement of two hundred square meters at most.

Liu Yun breathed a soft sigh of relief and hugged Zhang Zhigao's neck: "Now I finally understand thoroughly, what is the perfect wife who is all-round inside and outside, why is your luck so good?" ”

"It's not just a matter of luck......

"Less wordy, eat supper."

While speaking, Liu Yun had already pushed Zhang Zhigao to Luo Sulan's side, and then pulled Mo Ning and threw it to the hot pot table, and after clearing the obstacles around him, Liu Yun raised his hands and patted them in the air.

"Stop, I have something to say."

Everyone in the house immediately stopped what they were doing, and the old men who were devouring the mutton also hurriedly swallowed the contents of their mouths into their esophagus, and everyone saluted Liu Yunxing together.

Facing everyone's expectation and unconditional trust, Liu Yun sighed with emotion.

Overnight, divisions and doubts were buried in the heart of the earth, and the rift that once spread on the ideal crystal wall healed as smooth as new, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious, and the fiery feelings of brothers and sisters seemed to burn with each other...... All of this has to be attributed to that damn task force, and if it weren't for the emergence of a common enemy that involves its own fundamental interests, a great split within the group would probably be inevitable.

If you can repel a strong enemy, what will happen after that? Can this kind of close solidarity be sustained today? This kind of problem is not worth wasting even half a brain cell for the time being.

"The appearance of the task force is indeed beyond our expectations, some people are surprised, some people are afraid, some people are desperate, this is all human nature, it is nothing. I want to tell you that the soldiers are coming to block the way, and the water is coming to cover the earth, although until now, we still do not know the strength of the task force, but we are not sheep without resistance, we have 500 tiger and leopard battalions, we have 200,000 Janissaries, we have a million Wehrmacht, although the weapons are inferior to the other side, but as long as the other side does not have nuclear bombs, I don't believe that they can withstand the repeated attacks of the million army. In any case, the task force must not be allowed to capture any of us, and being captured is a dead end! Without any of us, the history we make would not be perfect! We must continue to work hard for our common ideals, devote ourselves to the country of our dreams, and create a new world...... Yes, we, comrades-in-arms who have experienced thousands of hardships and dangers together, brothers and sisters who have united their fate and have deep affection, we must move forward together, we will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties, and we are invincible together! ”

There is no applause, there is no applause, there is only a pat on the shoulder and a nod between comrades, there is only a meeting of eyes between comrades, there is only a fist shake or a comprehension of someone.

However, after a few seconds of silence, the slightly thin but fiery applause rang out, and Liu Yun raised his hands again to stop the flowing magma of applause.

"However, given the severity of this struggle, we are also likely to pay a big price, and for this, we must be well prepared in advance. The emperor has just left for Tianjin, and from now on, the imperial capital will enter a state of martial law, and the military and police will evacuate most of the personnel in the capital in a planned manner in the name of earthquake prevention and disaster avoidance, and the families of all comrades in Beijing will be escorted to Shanghai by the State Security Department, where General Xiao Ruhai, commander of the East China Military Region, will be responsible for ensuring their safety. ”

Liu Yun stopped when he said this, in fact, he had a deeper plan in his heart - once the battle with the task force failed and the comrades in the center were wiped out, everyone's wives and children could still hide in the countryside or go abroad for refuge under the arrangement of Xiao Ruhai, the town guard envoy of the five provinces in East China. Taking into account the worst-case scenario and arranging it in advance - this is Liu Yun's habit as the commander of the special operations force.

"In other words, we don't have to worry about the future, just feel at ease and deal with the task force."

Zhang Zhigao continued.

"We believe in you, please lead us through this."

Mourning said.

"Comrade Supreme Commander, have you finished speaking, let's start eating supper when you are done."

Luo Sulan said with a smile, and stuffed a piece of beef with bean paste into Zhang Zhigao's mouth.

A couple who are enviable when they see it.

Liu Yun thought with relief, and began to worry about his daughter who came to this time and space with the task force.

How is Chibirch doing now? Did she really hate herself that much? Has she been treated by those people......

The date of the answer was obviously unpredictable, and Liu Yun immediately gave up and decided to follow Luo Sulan's advice and sit in front of the hot pot with Zhang Zhigao.

As soon as he ate two slices of mutton, Liu Yun turned to Luo Sulan: "Sulan, how are the preparations for those two meetings?" ”

Luo Sulan smiled slightly: "I will figure it out in a few phone calls, at nine o'clock in the morning, the press conference at the Prime Minister's official residence, Zhigao, Mo Ning and you will go." At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese People's Party and all members of the Standing Committee will attend. ”

Liu Yun swallowed a piece of fish fillet stained with spicy sauce and said, "All the members of the National Assembly will be transferred to Tianjin within today, and the headquarters of all political parties will also be moved there...... I have decided that all comrades who do not have military ranks will go to Tianjin tomorrow, and I will assign 200 soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion to be responsible for protecting everyone. ”

Zhang Zhigao was taken aback: "Do you want all of us civilians to leave?" How can this work......

"It's not a question of whether it will work, it's a question of reasonableness, the emperor and the parliament have gone to Tianjin, and there is no reason for the cabinet ministers to stay in the capital and wait to be shocked to death. After the Emperor has settled down in Tianjin, I will explain to the Emperor that I will personally lead the earthquake relief work and the maintenance of law and order in the disaster area, so as to minimize the losses in the capital and the Beizhili area. ”

"But ......"

"There is nothing that cannot be done, please obey the decision of the Supreme Commander."

Zhang Zhigao hesitated and nodded reluctantly.

Luo Sulan did not completely obey the Supreme Commander's intentions, she put down her chopsticks and said with a cold face: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here." ”

Several ministers next to him also put down their bowls and coaxed: "We won't go, we will stay and fight together!" ”

Luo Sulan glared fiercely at the big men with round bellies: "What are you staying for!" Fight? Will you fight? There are few cowhide coaxes there, and the men who have never touched the gun are having a fart fight. ”

Minister of Science and Technology Ma Feng stretched his neck and said, "Then what are you staying for?" We're not going to fight, will you? ”

Luo Sulan looked back with a sideways eye: "Did I say I was going to stay and fight?" I'm staying here to cook and type for the generals and marshals who stayed behind. By the way, Duke Wu Wei, since His Royal Highness Wanling Gege, our Lord E, is a member of the royal family, he should also go to Tianjin with the emperor. ”

"That's right, Wan Ling Gege has already set off with the emperor, and only Ma Feng's family can't go to Shanghai, but I have already taken care of the commander of the imperial capital garrison and the head of the Imperial Household Agency, so it shouldn't be a problem. It is said that Ma Feng should be the luckiest one among us, and he will be able to meet his wife and children tomorrow. ”

Luo Sulan took the opportunity to tease: "Yes, Lord E, if you are stained with dragon energy, you can't help it, go back tomorrow to greet Gege, be careful of being punished for kneeling on the washboard." ”

Ma Feng, who was "lucky" to marry the emperor's half-sister Wanling Gege eight years ago, had to smile bitterly with "happiness" at this time.

At the phone table, Yang Zhengjin was already muttering in Hook's ear: "If she stays in charge of cooking, she is very happy." ”

The implication is that Luo Sulan's cooking skills are rare to see, shining at first sight, making people happy when they flash, making people obsessed with happiness, making people infatuated with it, and making people think about it when they think about it......

Hu Ke rolled his eyes at Zhang Zhigao's side, and smiled: "Happy few of us, one over the painful side." ”

At the hot pot table, Home Minister Mo Ning had another opinion, and he opposed the elite Haw Par Battalion fighters to protect the civilian comrades who were going to Tianjin.

"We don't have many elite troops, good steel should be used on the blade, and it can't be wasted on those of us who will stay away from the battlefield, please keep all the soldiers of the Tiger and Par Battalion by your side, and it will be convenient to use it at a critical moment. Offense is the best defense, and only by maintaining an elite mobile force in the hands of the Supreme Commander can we truly protect us all, which is the same as the principle of local law and order. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers agreed, and they all said that the tiger and leopard camp should be left intact.

Under the prevarication, Liu Yun had no choice but to make a final decision: the Haw Par Battalion would not move, and the mobile units of the National Security Department and the Police Department would be transferred to protect the civilian comrades, Luo Sulan would stay in the temporary base camp, and all other civilian comrades would leave Beijing before 8 o'clock tomorrow evening.

Liu Yun's idea was that if Luo Sulan cooked for the comrades left behind in the temporary headquarters, he could be 100 percent relieved and 150 percent happy, and at the same time 250 percent happy.

The situation is urgent, and of course the most "critical" things must be done by the most trusted people.

As for someone's unhappiness, it must be dissolved "with joy and sincerity" within the traditional Chinese moral category of "sacrificing personal interests for the sake of collective interests".

After solving the problem of going and staying, Liu Yun called the Minister of Finance Han Lang over again: "Lord God of Wealth, you also saw it on the A2 terminal, we need gold worth four million Chinese yuan, and the preparations must be completed before twelve o'clock on May 3, it is all up to you." ”

Han Lang nodded and said: "No problem, although my country is now implementing the silver standard, and the gold reserves of the Imperial Bank are very small, but they can be urgently purchased from the precious metal exchange and the gold black market in Shanghai, I have already called to arrange for the Shanghai branch of the Imperial Bank to do this, if nothing happens, it will be shipped from Shanghai the day after tomorrow, but it will be escorted by the army at that time." ”

"Don't forget, our Comrade Xiao Ruhai is the town guard envoy of the five provinces in East China."

Liu Yun said reassuringly, and then sped up the pace of devouring.

Liu Yun never took the advice of his personal doctor to heart, what kind of health preservation, what kind of harmony principle, what vitamin ABCD, he likes to eat meat, and he has to eat freely, eat it exclusively, without rice, without adding vegetables, at the age of fifty-one, with terrible hard teeth to tear and chew all kinds of meat, enough to make him give birth to a little pride.

But what happened to Chibirch?

Liu Yun suddenly remembered something, got up and went to the door of the secret room, called his personal adjutant Zhang Ziyi, and after explaining like this, Zhang Ziyi ran away quickly.

After returning to the banquet, Luo Sulan asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, I remembered my daughter."

"That...... A thousand birches? ”

"Well, I want to see what she looked like fourteen years ago."

"You came here with a picture of her?"

"Well, I've been keeping it at home, and I just told the adjutant to go home and get it."

Luo Sulan didn't ask any more questions, smiled softly, picked up a piece of beef slices that were hot enough to be hot and put it in Liu Yun's bowl.
