When Zhang Weidong called Duan Wei, Duan Wei was pacing around the office.

The closer to the end of the year, to be precise, the closer to next year's election, the more people in the province will run the capital activities. All those who thought they had some hope, stared at the position above.

If it was changed to Duan Wei's physical condition before, he would not even think about promotion. But since Zhang Weidong's treatment, Duan Wei feels that his body is now full of youth and strength, and he feels that even if he works for another twenty or thirty years, there will be no problem. Even the activities in bed are much more than before, which makes Director Cui a little afraid of him recently.

It's just that when Duan Wei is in such a position now, if he wants to go up to the next level, that level is like a moat, and it is difficult to cross over.

But no matter how difficult it is, once a person enters the officialdom, there is no one who does not want to climb up. Liu Shengnan, the secretary of a small town party committee, is like this, and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee like Duan Wei is also like this.

Now Duan Wei's mood was very conflicted, and he was thinking about whether to go to the old chief's place.

Duan Wei was born in the military, his old chief's surname is Tang, he is a soldier who came out of the war years, and was once an outstanding and promising young general behind the top ten marshals of the founding of the country. It's just that with the passage of time, the top ten marshals have long since left the West, and the once outstanding young generals have now become one of the few remaining veteran generals who have experienced the fruits of the Anti-Japanese War era.

Although Old Man Tang is old and no longer in charge of the military, he is still one of the most influential generals in the army, and his words can still affect the future and fate of many people.

Duan Wei is only fifty-two years old this year, and of course it is impossible for him to experience the War of Resistance against Japan with Donald. However, in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Duan Wei once followed him and won his appreciation.

It is precisely because of Tang Lao's appreciation that Duan Wei's official fortunes are quite prosperous, whether in the army or in the locality, and he is a very important local official under the Tang family. Of course, Duan Wei himself has a good grasp of the way of the official, otherwise it would be impossible to be promoted again and again, and he will be promoted all the way to the position of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Duan Wei knew. The old chief does not like people to run for office, and he also knows that as a Tang department that has always been active in China's political arena, in addition to the promotion of all personnel based on ability and political performance, the Tang department as a whole often has an overall plan and arrangement. Of course, there are more complicated political games between the various forces, so even if Duan Wei deliberately went to visit the old chief, it was very likely to backfire, but at this juncture, many people were running. You didn't move on the ground, but Duan Wei was a little unsettled in his heart. Especially last night, Cui Jinghua blew the pillow wind in his ears all night, saying that Tang Lao was old, and no one knew when he would leave the west. At this time, if you don't take advantage of Donald's strong conditions to appreciate him, ask him to come forward and speak, and it will be too late for him to leave the West. Of course, Duan Wei's age is not too young, and he will have a little age advantage when he goes to the next level, but when he waits for the next session, this age advantage will be gone.

Just when Duan Wei couldn't make a choice. His phone rang.

Duan Wei couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise on his face, his mobile phone has always been rarely called, and if he wants to call, he will call his secretary or office.

But when Duan Wei took it out, he took a look. When he saw that it was Zhang Weidong, everything was relieved, and his mood seemed to be cheerful all of a sudden, and he picked up the phone with a smile and said: "Weidong, I haven't seen you for a long time, your sister has been thinking about you for the past few days, saying that you haven't come to see her recently, and you have completely forgotten about her sister." ”

In normal times, Zhang Weidong has to deal with a few words, but today he is not in the mood. Straight to the point: "Secretary Duan, I have something I need your help to communicate." ”

The smile on Duan Weiyan's face gradually retracted when he heard this, and turned serious: "You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of the Shanghai "Tianfeng" cargo ship being hijacked by Somali pirates while sailing through the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. Zhang Weidong asked.

"Yes. Duan Wei couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. This matter has long been spread internationally now, and many countries are also waiting for the joke of the first party. As the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, how could Duan Wei not know. Not only did he know that Duan Wei came out of the army, but he also faintly heard from a comrade-in-arms who was still in the army that the Chinese side had sent special forces to secretly carry out a rescue, but in the end, it ended in failure because of the concern for the safety of the hostages. Now the military is in a very awkward position. Continuing the rescue is sure to continue, but it is feared that repeated actions will anger the pirates and kill the hostages. If such a thing really happens, not only will international public opinion laugh at the incompetence of the Chinese side, but I am afraid that domestic public opinion will also accuse the military of being incompetent and unable to protect its own people. So now we have to drag on the Somali government to put pressure on the Somali government, but this method is basically ineffective, and if it really works, Somali pirates will not be so rampant, and they have long been exterminated by the local government. Otherwise, you must succeed, and you must not allow the slightest failure. But who can guarantee the success of such a rescue operation?

On 25 September 2008, the Ukrainian Munition ship Faini, carrying 33 T-72 main battle tanks, a large number of armoured personnel carriers, and small arms such as artillery shells and launchers, was hijacked by Somali pirates. The matter was widely publicized internationally, but in the end, the Ukrainian government was forced to choose a compromise. Even the arms ship was hijacked by Somali pirates, and the Ukrainian government finally compromised, so you can imagine how difficult Somali pirates are and how difficult the rescue work is.

"I have a student's father on this ship, so I want to ask you for a favor, I want to meet with the person in charge of this rescue operation. Zhang Weidong said.

If this was said by another person, Duan Wei would definitely think he was crazy. Is it possible for ordinary people to ask and interfere with the military's secret operations? Meeting with the person in charge of the rescue operation is simply an absurd request.

However, Duan Wei was silent, and his face showed unprecedented solemnity.

He had seen Zhang Weidong's miraculous medical skills, and before that, he had witnessed Zhang Weidong fly over the Nansha River, where the city stored water next to the provincial government building. Although it was a glimpse of the moment before he fainted, Secretary Duan Wei will never forget that amazing scene in his life.

What special forces in the world can fly over the Nansha River, which is at least 10 meters wide, like Zhang Weidong? Who dares to deny that with a special force like Zhang Weidong, the success rate of rescue will be greatly improved?

But Duan Wei is not a military person after all, he is not a national leader, he is just a provincial deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and Zhang Weidong is not a special soldier, he is just a university teacher, and at most he has the title of an expert in the provincial medical team. So Duan Wei can't be the master of this matter, and of course Zhang Weidong can't be the master.

"This matter is not trivial, otherwise, you come to Nanzhou now, and we will talk about it after we meet. But rest assured, the military should not take action for the time being. In the absence of military action, Somali pirates generally do not act aggressively, so the safety of personnel should be no problem for some time. Duan Wei was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll leave for Nanzhou now. Zhang Weidong knew that Duan Wei had a military background, and said with a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The Somali pirate Zhang Weidong is blind to both sides, and he doesn't know where to go at all, which is why Zhang Weidong wants to find cooperation with the military. Therefore, as long as the person's life is not safe for the time being, as long as the military can bring him to his destination, Zhang Weidong is sure that the Somali pirates who hijacked him will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home. Duan Wei said in a deep voice.

Zhang Weidong hung up the phone, and immediately called Lu Xiaofeng again and asked him to send a car to the school and send him to Nanzhou City as soon as possible.

After Zhang Weidong made these two calls, he found that Lu Yafen was staring at him with straight eyes, as if he had just met him for the first time.

"Old, teacher, you really have a way to save my father!" When Zhang Weidong looked at Lu Yafen, Lu Yafen suddenly became excited.

"Don't worry, I've already confirmed, your dad is fine now, and I promise you that in a few days, you will definitely receive a call from your dad to report your safety!" Zhang Weidong looked at Lu Yafen and said in a very affirmative tone.

For Zhang Weidong, Lu Yafen has always had an almost blind trust. Although the matter of Somali pirates seems too far away, so far away that even Lu Yafen's confidence in Zhang Weidong began to waver. But when Lu Yafen saw that Zhang Weidong really began to make two phone calls for her matter, and even mentioned the person in charge of the rescue operation, at this moment Lu Yafen looked at Zhang Weidong's solemn expression, and the confidence that was wavering began to become firm.

"Thank you, teacher, thank you!" Lu Yafen suddenly threw herself into Zhang Weidong's arms, hugged Zhang Weidong's neck tightly with both hands, rested her chin on Zhang Weidong's shoulder, but her cheeks were pressed against his. Tears rolled down like no money.

No one can know that when she first heard that her father was kidnapped by Somali pirates, Lu Yafen felt panic and helplessness in her heart, as if the sky was about to fall. Now that she finally saw hope because of Zhang Weidong, hugging Zhang Weidong's neck, Lu Yafen felt like she had embraced all the hopes and hugged the dearest person.

The cheeks were so intimately attached to a girl that Zhang Weidong was a little uncomfortable, and gently patted Lu Yafen's fragrant shoulder and said softly: "Silly girl, why are you so polite to the teacher." Okay, someone will pick me up soon, and I also need to explain the work at hand to Mr. Su and Professor Qin, so I can't delay it any longer. (To be continued) RQ
