Chapter 339: Position Scheduling
The man also panicked, kept bowing and apologizing, his pale face was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move while holding his daughter.
Sure enough, the soldiers of the Central Guard Army walked up coldly, ready to take the two men away for investigation.
But soon, Leng Kite's majestic voice came from the podium: "Ask." β
The soldiers of the Central Guard Army were stunned, retreated to their original positions, and made way for them.
The man was stunned in place, the little girl in his arms came out of the bone, wide-eyed and longingly looked at the tall eagle general who stood like a statue not far away, and there were almost small stars in her eyes, she excitedly took the microphone handed by a soldier, showed a sunny smile, and said in a milky voice: "I used to hear my father say how the general is, but I never know what the general does, can you tell me who the general is?" β
Leng Kite squinted his eyes when he heard this question, the soldiers of the Central Garrison also frowned, and the reporters also let out a mocking sneer.
The second taboo at the press conference is to ask some very naΓ―ve, or very vague answers, such as now, this little girl asks "who is the general", this question is both naΓ―ve and empty, how can people answer? Men who fight? Someone with troops? The one who commanded? This kind of answer is not very easy to get on the stage, and it also affects the image problem.
If a reporter asks this kind of question, it will not only embarrass the publisher, but will definitely not invite you again in the future, and your job at the newspaper is basically over, just wait for the fuck off.
The man obviously realized the problem, and hurriedly ran over and grabbed his daughter, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little girl is not sensible, I'll leave now..."
However, unexpectedly, Leng Kite did not answer for a long time, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was "pondering" this "childish" question, such silence also infected the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone couldn't help but open their eyes wide, hold their breath, and wait for her answer.
I don't know how long it took, Leng Kite suddenly moved and slowly walked down from the podium.
Today is a sunny day, Leng Kite is going against the sun, she is very tall, plus a solemn robe moves with her, and there is a faint dragon power oppression, and the momentum that comes is like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
Because his back was to the sun, the body of the cold kite blocked the sunlight, casting a large shadow in front of him, enveloping the soulless man and his daughter into it, this man was so frightened that he couldn't even say a word, he could only hug his daughter tightly and shiver, his face was full of cold sweat.
The atmosphere also became tense at this time, the reporters waited with bated breath for what was about to happen, and the guards of the Central Garrison also looked sideways slightly.
Leng Kite is very famous, but there are too few people who see through her, who knows what this eagle that eats people and does not spit out bones will do.
The only one present who was not worried was the innocent little girl, who just tilted her head slightly, and a pair of watery eyes looked curiously at the cold kite who came over.
Suddenly, when Leng Kite walked to the little girl's side, she stretched out her right hand, and a black eagle was embroidered on her white gloves, cold and solemn, stretching out towards the little girl's head with natural coercion, and her purple eyes against the sun also flashed with a mysterious edge.
The man was already paralyzed with fright, he thought that Leng Kite was provoked and wanted to kill someone on the spot, and immediately his psychological defense line collapsed, however, he was just about to kneel down and beg for mercy, when something delicate happened.
I saw Leng Kite's hand gently resting on her daughter's little head and rubbing it gently, as if caressing her sister.
When he looked at Leng Kite again, his solemn and majestic face was already full of doting smiles, the corners of his lips were raised to outline a gentle arc, his slightly narrowed eyes were like a crescent moon on the horizon, and even the dark purple in his pupils was no longer terrifying.
Leng Kite stroked the little girl's head lightly and gently, and in order not to give the other party a sense of oppression of height, she also took the initiative to squat down, leaned forward slightly on one knee, looked into the little girl's eyes, and said the words that were recorded in history by later generations: "General, you are the one who fights for your happiness." β
After hearing this, the little girl's clear eyes were almost glowing with starlight, and she put her arms around Leng Kite's neck with a playful face, kissing her face, making Leng Kite, who had always been calm, a little embarrassed.
The scene was originally very silent, but I don't know who took the lead, the applause is getting louder and louder like the accelerating engine of an airplane, at this moment, regardless of nationality, race, or position, the reporters and guests present all gave applause to Leng Kite, sincere and pure.
Regardless of whether Leng Kite's words are true or not, at least she protects a child's vision of the future, which is extremely precious in the apocalypse of the wasteland.
No matter how intriguing and deceitful all parties in the world are, no one does not want the world to return to its original state, and if there is no such vision, hope will naturally disappear, and the whole world can only fall into the abyss little by little in the dark.
And Leng Kite's words are not only to protect a simple child, but also to a declaration to the whole world: what are we desperately bleeding for? Isn't it just for happiness?
So in a sense, this applause is not for Leng Kite personally, but also for the fire that still exists in the hearts of human beings.
With such a small episode, the press conference went more smoothly, although there were some sharp questions from time to time, but compared to the strong sense of antagonism before, the estrangement has been much less.
...
After the press conference, when Leng Kite was resting in the background, Dong Xiaotu, director of the Central Propaganda Department, ran in, jumping up and down in anger, and his dull hair stood up: "General!" You! Why don't you follow the script! The press conference is a superficial work for outsiders to see, and every word on the manuscript is something we have pondered, seamless! It's better for you to talk nonsense yourself, so it's easy to exploit loopholes for other media! β
Leng Kite looked indifferent, holding a cigar in one hand and a pot of rice wine from Jiangnan in the other, and said lazily: "Rabbit, it's hard work, come and come, drink." β
"Oh, don't drink it! I'm underage, I'm still growing up, what should I do if I drink badly? Dong Xiaotu touched the stupid hair on his head, and said without tears, "It's miserable, you are talking about it happily, I have to carry the pot, and the generalissimo is going to scold me again this time!" β
"Well, who isn't, my good days are over." Leng Kite drank a pot of rice wine, smoked a cigar and asked, "When will the transfer letter be given to me?" β
"Oh, the general is so politically sensitive." Dong Xiaotu showed a wicked smile, squinted and handed a document sealed with wax to Leng Kite, "I was about to give it to you." β
Leng Kite opened it directly after taking it, and sure enough, it was a transfer letter about herself, and it also came with a report on the appointment of a large number of hawkish generals, most of whom were promoted.
Miin Risako broke the enemy with a spear on Lake Baikal, flooded the rebels, and promoted lieutenant to major;
Li Xiansheng coordinated the supply and solved the difficulty of corn, and was promoted to colonel;
Zhou Liangcheng defended the lonely mountain in the north, blocking the enemy's escape route, and was promoted to major from lieutenant;
Han Yichen followed the white wolf to raid Jingshou, almost beheaded Jiangzong, and promoted the major to lieutenant colonel.
The biggest promotion is undoubtedly Luo Hanlin, this seventy-year-old veteran will fight a sleepless bloody battle at Fengyun Pass for 7 days, a pair of thunderbolt hammers shot the sky darkly, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, and the 1.6 million insect swarm was killed alone to only 500,000, shocking the world, and the nickname of "Thor" also completely resounded in the world.
Luo Hanlin was personally awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the generalissimo of the Republic, and was awarded the title of "General Zhenbei", which is the "heavy" general in the glory of the Republic, full of gold and holding military power! And those "miscellaneous" generals who have no practical meaning, but are simply multiple nicknames, are not at the same level at all.
This kind of rocket-like promotion can be said to be unprecedented except for Leng Kite, but no one is gossiping, because this is all Luo Hanlin in exchange for his own blood and sweat, not convinced? Then you go to Fengyun Pass and try it for 7 days.
There are two people who have not changed their positions, one is the white wolf, who is still the captain, for unknown reasons.
The other is Leng Kite, her military rank has reached the top, there is nothing to promote, and in the later stage of the Northern Expedition, there were frequent mistakes, repeated disobedience, not to mention promotion, not to mention a few levels is already very face-saving, she was also transferred from Chang'an to Beijing, separated from the political center, and entered the front line against the rebels in the three northeastern provinces, which belongs to a kind of "secret landing".
And there is another person who is more special, this person was greatly demoted in the entire Eagle Banner Army, directly demoted from colonel to major, and almost fell out of the ranks of school officers.
Leng Kite narrowed her eyes and looked at the person's name.
