Chapter 209: My General's Father
"Engineering company?"
"Yes, engineering company!"
"Do you think there's too much money and it's starting to float again?"
"How is it possible, spending money is to make better money, do you understand, oh, yes, you are studying international relations, economic affairs, you don't understand!"
"Thank you, but I have a bachelor's degree in international economics and trade from Oxford, unlike some people who don't finish college!"
"What's this, I didn't finish college, but I did! That's enough!"
Shepard patted his chest proudly and said seriously.
"What do you mean?"
Because Shepard spoke ordinary hair, not English, Parker didn't understand what he was saying, but because Shepard used ancient Chinese celebrity allusions as examples from time to time, she was already starting to study related things, and maybe, Shepard's days of using Mandarin to confine others were coming to an end. Chinese Net
But at least for now, he can rip off jokes with impunity.
"It means that there is no end to learning! You can never finish what you learn, so you have to keep learning!"
"But what does this have to do with the engineering company, and the blast wall you mentioned really works that well?"
"It's not going to be that bad!"
For the explosion-proof wall, Shepard thought very well, but the problem was that he didn't know a few practitioners in similar industries, and Smith didn't know either, and the old man knew a lot of unscrupulous practitioners, but none of them did engineering, so it can be seen that even agents in the civil engineering industry are unwilling to deal with it!
And Parker's side too, the old London Mizi Banner naturally has no civil engineering friends, and it is related to his future fortune, Shepard does not want to find a factory casually and hasty things.
And when he was bothered by this, Smith showed him the way.
"There is a person who must know people related to this industry, it depends on whether you are willing to find it!"
"I've guessed it!"
Shepard waved his hand irritably, he knew the person Smith said, not only did he know, but his relationship with that person in this life was also endless!
Because that's the cheap dad of his life, John Sr., who is currently serving as deputy commander of the Sixth Fleet.
The latter is not only the deputy commander of the fleet, but also served as a captain and a base commander before, of course, although his outstanding ability is indispensable for this promotion, but the bigger reason is that there is an older old John, Shepard's cheap grandfather was also a person who beat the Japanese Navy with the bull Halsey in World War II, and also served as a commander in the Sixth Fleet, in a way, this can be regarded as a heritage!
If nothing else, Shepard will enter the Naval Military Academy according to what the old John in the middle wants to enter in this life, and then go to a certain warship in the Navy to mix qualifications, and then rely on the relationship between the military and the Chinese people to rise all the way, at least Shepard's cheap brother Mitchell is like this, but because of the experience of his previous life, Shepard is extremely resistant to the fact that others forcibly plan his life, so his relationship with his family is very stiff.
Smith Ti naturally wants to restore the relationship between the father and son, who are incompatible, he once worked under Old John, and later served as a deputy next to Old John, and the grievances and hatreds between the father and son are naturally clear, and in some ways, although Old John is disdainful of his youngest son, he is still quietly paying attention to the latter, and he has a lot of points, and Shepard also feels about it, but everyone doesn't make it clear.
"That guy will be back for a meeting this week for a month!"
"I know, I'll ask him!"
Shepard sighed, he couldn't hide from it, anyway, if he quarreled again, he would be gone.
And then.........
"By the way, is this your attitude of making peace with me? Do you apologize to someone like that? Your Excellency Rear Admiral? And you, the backbone of the sailors, you will do whatever this old guy tells you to do? He told you to go to Moscow as self-bombing infantry, right?"
I watched the four sailors with big shoulders and round waists like door gods in front of the double-opening wooden door, tied with ropes
The sturdy Shepard arched on the carpet in an Orz posture and yelled at the burly old man sitting behind his desk, undistracted looking at the papers.
"Old man, leave it to me to loosen the ties, or .........."
"How else?"
Old John, who had been deaf to Shepard's commotion, put down the papers in his hand, then leaned back in his chair and lit himself a fine Cuban cigar, and asked with a smile after a leisurely puff of smoke.
"Otherwise, I'll go to the Pentagon and run naked!"
"That's good, or I'll go in the afternoon, you guys, help him!"
Old John was not afraid of the latter's threat, and even intended to let his men help Shepard, but the sailors stayed there like stakes, as if they had not heard.
These sailors are also veterans in the fleet headquarters, and they are also clear about the family affairs of the commanders, so they naturally know the twists and turns, such as this bad old man who made them tie up their sons into caterpillars, is actually an old tsundere, who likes to show off his two sons in the headquarters the most, and even hangs a map of Angola in his office, and there are books such as a brief introduction to Africa on the shelves.
Therefore, at this moment, they only need to act as a doorpost to prevent the other party from escaping, and other things have nothing to do with them!
"That, not today, my stomach hurts, I'll definitely go tomorrow!"
"Hmph, play this with me, you're still very early, I was at sea back then, ......... back then."
"I'm tired of hearing that you were sunk by the enemy at sea, and then drifted for three months, eating eight sharks alive before you were saved, and in fact you were rescued less than three minutes after you were sunk, and eating sharks is just a story you told us when you were a child!"
"That's not important, you just need to know that your father and I have also experienced strong winds and waves!"
"Yes, he was promoted to brigadier general at the age of 48 and major general at the age of 50, and ordinary people are not so fast!"
"It's not all my own hard work, and it doesn't have much to do with your grandfather!"
"I believe it!"
"Really?"
"Really, so you can untie me now?"
"You swear not to quarrel with me today!"
"I swear I'll never quarrel with you today!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Old John then waved his hand, and several sailors untied Shepard and immediately left the room, their mission was complete, and now they could disband, and go shopping and drinking!
"Your business, Smith has already told me, it's very good, it seems that you haven't run in vain all these years!"
Old John's tone was full of praise for Shepard.
