Chapter 230: The General Dies

On the roof of the Empire State Building in New York, Zhuang Lei, Ma Kai, Li Tie, Hu Biao, and the Iron Tower have a bird's-eye view of New York City. Ma Kai said emotionally: "New York is a beautiful city, and this beautiful city has finally calmed down. After several months of curfew, especially the severe crackdown on gangs, drug trafficking, and theft, the underworld forces in New York City have been basically eradicated, and this beautiful city has been rejuvenated. The crowd was full of praise for the toughness of the special forces, and at the same time began to judge New York City.

Zhuang Lei said: "Since I set foot on American soil, I have read a lot of books about the United States in my spare time, and aside from other things, in just 200 years, the United States can be called a miracle in the history of world development, you must know that it is a country of immigrants. New York, for example, is an illustrative example of its history, where white people arrived about 300 years ago, drove out the Indians, and became the masters of the area. It was later occupied by the Duke of York, the younger brother of King Charles II, and renamed it New York. ”

Zhuang Lei continued to pretend: "New York was officially established in 1868, and during the Revolutionary War, New York was the headquarters of George and Washington, and the place where he became the first president of the United States, and it was also the temporary capital of the United States at that time. In the mid-19th century, the canal connecting the Hudson River to the Great Lakes led to the rise and development of railroads, and New York became more connected to the Midwest, which contributed to the city's development. With the increase in population, New York gradually became the largest port city in the United States, and integrated finance and trade. ”

Shao Bo said: "Brother Zhuang is preparing for a career change in the future, it seems that you are a dual-use talent for military and political purposes." "Brother Shao has said it. The president has repeatedly asked us to care about politics, especially when fighting the enemy, we must understand the enemy, and I am just holding on to it. "What Brother Zhuang said is not wrong. The military is a continuation of politics, and we, as high-ranking generals, cannot be left alone in the field of politics. I heard that we are going to return home, and the empire is going to hold a peace conference, when all the military and political dignitaries will gather in the capital. "Brother Shao, it just so happens that we are together all the way, and we will not be lonely."

"Brother Zhuang. I'm sorry, I'm traveling to the Miami Peninsula and can't travel with you. Li Tie teased: "Brother Shao." It's because I'm worried about my wife. Shao Bo smiled indifferently and did not refute: "I will go with Commander He, when the founding celebration of the 3rd France in the Miami Peninsula will be held, and General Antonio was promised at the beginning, so I can't go with you." "We have to see you in the capital!" Shao Bo didn't expect it. This is his last farewell to Zhuang Lei. Ma Kai did his best to be a landlord. Personally practice it for Shao Bo.

In the afternoon, Shao Bo joined He Meng, Khalid and Nie Fengwu at the dock to board the battleship Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the dock of New York Military Harbor and headed for the Miami Peninsula. The noon banquet was not finished, and Ma Kai, Li Tie, Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and Tie Tower continued to fight. During the banquet, Zhuang Lei seemed to remember something and asked with a wicked smile: "Brother Li, I heard that you are now chasing Commander He's adopted daughter Peony, is there anything wrong?" Li Tie was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Zhuang, it's true that I can't hide it, but this is the task given to me by Commander He." As for whether it can be done, only God knows. ”

Ma Kai said with a smile: "Li Tie is very distressed, maybe time will brighten up." Brother Zhuang. It's a tricky thing, so it's better not to talk about it. "I'm about to go back to the mainland of my motherland, and I want to reunite with my relatives. Time flies, a few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the past is unbearable. Zhuang Lei's words resonated with everyone, and a trace of nostalgia emerged in everyone's hearts. Late at night, Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and the tower turned to the headquarters, and Ma Kai kept them to no avail, so he personally went to the door to see them off.

On the same street as the Empire State Building, in a three-story building facing the street, a fleshy-faced, 40-year-old guy with bloodshot eyes was looking down the street with a telescope. This location is just in time for the Empire State Building, where the Special Forces headquarters is located. The meaty-faced guy is called Hughes, nicknamed Old Man, and this man is the biggest gang leader in New York. For several months in a row, the special forces ruthlessly attacked the New York underworld, and Hughes's subordinates were almost wiped out. Hiding in Tibet, Hughes was also forced to go underground and become a street rat.

For this reason, Hughes hated the special forces to the core, and he decided to take revenge with all his might. After some conspiracy, Hughes decided to carry out a retaliatory terrorist attack on the leader of the special forces. In the early operation of clearing the net, Hughes's two younger brothers were killed by special forces during the capture, for which Hughes hated him to the core. After thorough preparation, he set up a stronghold on the south side of the Empire State Building and prepared a large amount of explosives. Hughes placed the explosives in the sewer shaft in the middle of the street and waited patiently for an opportunity. Now the opportunity finally appeared, but Hughes mistakenly took Zhuang Lei, who had left the special forces team headquarters, as the target.

"Old man, the target is out, and it's our direction." A subordinate shouted excitedly. The muscles on Xiusi's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare to detonate!" "The three military jeeps left the Empire State Building, with guards in front and behind, and Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and Tie Tower sat in the jeep in the middle. After driving about fifty or sixty meters on the road, Zhuang Lei turned around and found that Ma Kai and Li Tie were still standing in front of the door and waving. Ma Kai and Li Tie didn't expect that this was Zhuang Lei's last appearance in the world.

100 meters ahead of the fork in the road, Ma Kai suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a reflection in the three-story building at the intersection, and based on his experience, he immediately judged that it was the light reflected by the telescope. "Oh no, something is going to happen!" Ma Kai shouted. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the middle of the road in front of him, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, and the smoke filled the road in an instant. Mr ma. Li Tie led his subordinates to the explosion site at the first time, and before the smoke and dust were gone, a large crater appeared in the middle of the road, and large clouds of water vapor gushed out in it.

Ma Kai's head closed his eyes in pain, and Li Tiesheng shouted hoarsely: "Immediately surround this block, and no one is allowed to run away." The center of the explosion was located just below the jeep in which Zhuang Lei was riding, and the jeeps in which the guards in front and behind were nowhere to be seen, showing the situation of Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and the tower. A few hours later, Theseus committed suicide with a gun in desperation, and his subordinates surrendered. Li Tie was so grief-stricken that he ordered all those who participated in the terrorist attack to be shot.

The next day, after a careful search, only Zhuang Lei's remaining clothes were looted. There are also clothes for Hu Biao and Tie Tower. Mackay ordered the continued search of gangsters and outlaws in New York and brutal crackdowns. Two months later, in the capital Ministry of Defense. President Deng Zixuan led the military and political personnel to hold a grand memorial service for Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and Tie Tower. The generals of the expeditionary force, including those of major military regions, gathered in the capital. Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and the family members of the iron tower were all present, and in the solemn atmosphere, Deng Zixuan appeared in a military uniform with a majestic expression.

The hall of the Ministry of National Defense is set up as a mourning hall, and the relics of the three are placed in front of the portraits of Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and Tie Tower. and separately packed in wooden boxes. Wreaths are placed on both sides to create a mournful atmosphere. Chen Jintang, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, came to the stage with a white flower pinned to his chest and said with a stern expression: "Today we are in a heavy heart. Mourn the memory of the three warriors who sacrificed their lives. It is very unfortunate that they did not fall on the battlefield of fighting, but were subjected to the despicable plots of the evil forces??????。 Chen Jintang gave a detailed account of the lives and achievements of the three people, and then held a solemn memorial ceremony.

Then President Deng Zixuan came to power. Expressed condolences to the deceased and their families. He also expressed his condolences for the death of the three generals. The crying of family members can be heard below, which is sad. Then Deng Zixuan expressed his condolences to the family members one by one, especially to Zhuang Lei's two wives. Yinji was out of breath crying, Bai Xin'er's face was pale and haggard, and she didn't shed a single tear, but she could see that it seemed to be dripping blood in her heart. At this moment, she strengthened her belief and decided to be widowed for Zhuang Lei for the rest of her life, the only regret is that Zhuang Lei did not let her leave a man and a woman. But she still decided to follow Zhuang Lei for the rest of her life. Being a woman may be admirable, but sad.

Three days later. Zhuang Lei, Hu Biao, and the iron tower were buried in the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery in Beijing. After the funeral ceremony, Deng Zixuan and his team left. Ma Kai, Li Tie, Shao Bo and others sat around Zhuang Lei's mausoleum. Ma Kai said in a sad mood: "Brother Xu, the enemy's original target was aimed at me, but I didn't expect it to befall you. At this moment, your voice and appearance still linger in front of my eyes, and it has never disappeared. Zhuang Lei, if you know anything underground, let's have a drink. I come back every year at this time to drink with you. ”

Li Tie's voice was a little choked and said: "Brother Xu, blame me for being too careless, why don't I keep you and condemn me!" Shao Bo raised his glass and said, "Brother Xu, I didn't expect the Empire State Building to be a farewell. Please rest assured, your family, we will take good care of you, and your son is our son. "Yes, your son is our son." Ma Kai and Li Tie said in unison. The welcoming pine next to it seems to make a wave sound, like the soul of the deceased pouring out and saying goodbye.

A few days later, Wan'er, the president's wife, personally sent Zhuang Lei's two wives at the station on behalf of Deng Zixuan. Wan'er said to Bai Xin'er: "You are young and have no children, what are your plans for the future, if you need my help, please say." "Madam, Zhuang Lei sacrificed his life for the country, I am a part of his life, and I can't defile him. I decided to follow his dead soul for the rest of my life. Wan'er was a little sad when she heard this, and stopped Bai Xin'er in her arms emotionally. At this moment, Bai Xin'er choked with tears like rain, and her huge grief finally broke out. Wan'er cried secretly with her, this scene was heartbreaking.

Deng Zixuan returned home in the evening and found that Wan'er's eyes were red and swollen. He knew that Wan'er was sad for Zhuang Lei's wife, but he didn't know how to comfort him. "Women are synonymous with misery, and they have always been like this!" For a long time, Wan'er said quietly. "Madam, don't be too sad for the deceased. We will remember the martyrs who gave their lives, and they will live forever. "I'm sad to be alive, you know? Bai Xin'er is young and has no children, so she decided to be widowed for the rest of her life, how cruel is this! Deng Zixuan was speechless, yes! In this era, chaste martyrs are admired, and a name is better than a qiē. Even the cruel festival will be praised by a lot.

In Bo'ai Hospital, He Meng took his wife's hand and said softly: "Xiuhua, I'm back, I'm waiting for you to wake up, even if I don't leave you for the rest of my life." He Meng looked at his wife's sleeping face and gently put his wife's hand on his face. Peony's eyes were red, and she silently exited the room. Dai Hui and Xia Zi stood outside side by side, they were silent, watching Peony leave with mixed feelings. In front of the Bo'ai Hospital, Li Tie stood next to the military jeep, looking at the peony cautiously, not knowing what to say. Peony got into the car, and Li Tie asked softly, "Where are you going!" "Go to the marriage registry office, we'll get married right away!" (To be continued......)
