068 Marriage
The Allies were progressing well in Europe, and Hitler's fall was a foregone conclusion.
At this time, in addition to the overall pace of the Chinese army in the European theater of attacking with the Allied forces, Zhu Jingxing also organized several small units and played the old trick of the Burma battlefield: night raids.
Taking advantage of the strong mobility of the helicopter gunships, they selected a group of officers and men to attack important target points on the German mainland at night.
However, unlike the previous raids, this time the helicopters did not destroy anything, but came down with a group of people to attack and take away all the scientists and scientific research materials of these institutions.
In addition, they often raid banks in small German towns, and after blowing up the doors of the vaults, they simply and rudely take away the gold in the banks, which makes the Germans very frightened for a while, but these guys are unaware of the helicopters, which makes people unable to prevent them.
In addition to the anger of the Germans, there was a lot of criticism among the Allies, but Eisenhower did not pursue it for the sake of the bigger picture, after all, they were also fighting the Nazis.
However, the officers and soldiers of the headquarters felt that it was extremely inappropriate, saying that this kidnapping of Germans and robbing banks was like bandits on the beach. Where is it like some kind of powerful air strike force?
Some people also say that this German has no grievances with us, and besides, Hitler helped us at the beginning, so wouldn't it be too kind to do this now?
Zhu Jingxing heard these remarks and reprimanded sharply: "What bullshit friendship? Hitler, the bastard, said in "Mein Kampf" that the Chinese were the most inferior people, and the Nazi Party in Germany persecuted many Chinese. What kind of friendship is that? ”
"However, when it comes to aid, the German people have also given us some aid, but this should not be confused with the Hitler regime. We are now snatching away all the Germans scientists just to bring down Hitler as soon as possible, this is a good deed to the Germans, understand? ”
The officers and soldiers didn't say anything after that, but this kind of life like a hero in the green forest also made them bigger and easier.
Later, the officers and men also summed up various experiences in helicopter raids, which were admired by the special forces of many countries after the war, and Zhu Jingxing inexplicably became the "father of modern special operations" in the eyes of some people.
However, Zhu Jingxing didn't have a big vision at this time, he was just purely executing orders.
As a result, the robbery and kidnapping were still carried out, and although the German anti-aircraft artillery fire was tight, it could not be arranged in every town, and people were panicked for a while.
At this time, Huang Zheng, who was far away in Europe, went home in turn and prepared to get engaged to Wu Yeqing. The command was given carte blanche to Zhu Jingxing, and Zhu Jingxing, who had read the book, was not a good man, and he brought all kinds of surprise attack tactics on the battlefield to the extreme, which stirred up the entire Germany when he heard that the Chinese army began to be afraid.
Huang Zheng didn't know this for the time being, and he was happily preparing to go home and get engaged to Wu Yeqing.
The time for him and Wu Yeqing to confirm their relationship is not long, only more than a year, and there is no romantic story between the two, Huang Zheng is an uninteresting person in this regard, coupled with the busy military affairs, Wu Yeqing has always taken the initiative to write to him to call.
This engagement is what Huang Ke means, I don't know if it's because he's old or what's going on, Huang Ke, who has never been very interested in family fun, wants to see the scene of his children and grandchildren this time.
Even Zhao Xiaowan laughed at him and said: "You always said to me before, don't rush the children's marriage, they will have their own choice." Why are you urging yourself now? ”
Huang Ke smiled: "In the past, I always felt that a man should make a contribution. I don't want to live that kind of small life with a wife and children on the hot kang, but recently I want to hold my grandson more and more. Haha, maybe it's old, right? ”
"Not old, Commander, you have never been old." Zhao Xiaowan also rarely showed a shy look.
Huang Ke gently hugged her into his arms,
……
Huang Zheng returned to China for engagement leave, and his younger brother Huang Zhengzhong and sister Huang Ying also returned from abroad. This is a rare reunion, because the last time the family reunited was at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Ke was naturally very happy.
However, the engagement ceremony is not going to be held, after all, it is too public. Huang Ke just invited Wu Yeqing's parents and family to his home for a meal, which can be regarded as an engagement.
The Wu family expressed their readily understanding of this.
After a few days of turbulence, the family finally returned.
On this day, Zhao Xiaowan personally cooked a few dishes, and the family had a reunion dinner.
Among the three children, the biggest change is Huang Zhengzhong, who was originally fair-skinned, wearing a pair of glasses, and wearing a robe, but he was a weak scholar.
After the invasion of the Mongolian steppe by the wind and sand and the battlefield, now the hair is blue, the skin is dark, and the drum of the army's uniform is turned up, and he is more and more manly.
The children first reported to Huang Ke about the situation of coming in, of course, excluding the progress of the troops, because those Huang Ke had already seen it in the briefing.
He mainly asked Huang Zheng and Huang Zhengzhong about some feelings, such as some feelings about fighting on the front line, and some shortcomings compared with foreign armies.
These are not difficult problems, the two sons have already prepared the draft, so they are naturally fluent.
After asking about their respective situations, Huang Ke talked about his future plans. Huang Zheng said that he is still willing to stay in the army and serve, and besides, whether he is engaged in a coalition government or a democratic constitutional government in the future, his service in the army will not be affected.
Huang Ke shook his head, "Yes, but the army is not a pure land, and any major political changes will affect the army." ”
Huang Zheng nodded, and Huang Ke continued to ask Huang Zhengzhong, "What are your plans?" ”
"I really don't know." Huang Zhengzhong thought for a while and said: "I'm not very interested in staying in the army or engaging in politics. Earlier, I said that I am committed to building a democratic country based on the rule of law. Now it seems that I want to be like Aunt Fu Jin, and devote my life to one thing to do. ”
Huang Ke was not surprised by Huang Zhengzhong's words, he knew that this child's thinking was idealistic, but it was not the kind of idealization that was divorced from reality, it was good to have this kind of thought, Huang Ke encouraged him a few words.
Huang Ying, who was on the side, felt a little inappropriate after listening to Huang Zhengzhong's words, she shook her head and said: "With the current domestic political environment, I am afraid that after my father is not in power, it will be difficult for us to live according to our own ideas." ”
Huang Ke waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, no matter what, our politics are progressing." In the future, if a democratic coalition government is established, it will be to take turns to be in charge. There will be a lot less political families or something. Besides, my influence is still there. ”
As he spoke, he asked Huang Ying about his future plans, and Huang Ying leaned over and said, "I'll move back to accompany you two elders." ”
"Hahaha, it's best to be a girl. You two stinky boys. Although Huang Ke knew it was a joke, he smiled comfortably.
……
The next day, Wu Yeqing's parents came over with Wu Yeqing.
Huang Ke did not show any superiority in the number of courtesies, he was like an ordinary family, personally prepared lunch and gifts, in addition to letting Huang Zheng personally drive to pick up, when his parents came to the Fenglin Road Mansion, Huang Ke and Zhao Xiaowan personally came forward to greet him.
Wu Yeqing's parents are ordinary intellectuals, although they are not considered to be at the bottom, but like most Chinese, the first time they stepped into Fenglin Road, it was also the first time to have close contact with this legendary area.
Contrary to what they imagined, the road was not heavily guarded, but the streets were quieter and cleaner than the other streets, and the French plane trees on the road were lush and green, which made the road a little exotic.
When they arrived at the Huang Mansion, they saw Huang Ke and Zhao Xiaowan standing at the door to greet them, and Wu Yeqing's parents hurriedly came down.
Wu Yeqing stepped forward and saluted, Huang Ke waved his hand and said, "Ye Qing, we will be a family in the future, there is only a family in the family, and there is no chief." Bow or something, and you don't have to. ”
As he spoke, he shook hands with Wu Yeqing's father and said, "It's been hard along the way, come and sit in the house." ”
This engagement ceremony was not a ceremony, it was simply a meal at home. At the dinner, Huang Ke and Wu Yeqing's father sat on the top seat, and both of them drank some wine, and talked casually about the two children.
Wu Yeqing's father was a member of the NLD, but he was just an ordinary member, not a prominent influencer, and recently, the NLD has openly criticized many of Huang Ke's policies in many newspapers and magazines, such as being dissatisfied with his arbitrary behavior and long-term holding of power.
Because he knew this, when talking about problems, Father Wu always avoided them.
However, Huang Ke did not shy away from it, lit a cigar after the meal, and took the initiative to talk to Wu's father about some of the opinions put forward by the Democratic League.
Huang Ke smiled: "If I really look like what some newspapers say, I'm afraid you won't be able to criticize me publicly." However, it is not appropriate for a person to do it all the time. In my view, it is prudent to engage in coalition government after the war. ”
Father Wu didn't know if it was under the influence of alcohol or the style of a typical intellectual, but he shook his head and said bluntly: "Mr. Huang, with all due respect, China's current problems have shifted from the survival of the nation in the past to the livelihood of the people in the present. In my opinion, this is not only a question of having enough to eat, but also a problem of national intelligence and officialdom power. ”
This was a bit interesting, and when Huang Ke heard it for the first time, he leaned over and asked, "Oh?" It's the first time I've heard Mr. Wu say this, so tell me about it in detail. ”
Mother Wu on the side saw that her husband was about to talk about politics again, and she was worried that he would say something that he shouldn't say, so she stepped forward and said, "That, don't you want to go with me to see the photos of Zheng'er and Ye Qing?" Let's go check it out now. ”
