Chapter 1704 Truth and Dignity
West Garden.
The old man walked back and forth in the garden, with fatigue and anxiety on his face.
Not long after he came back, disaster struck again.
When I first heard about this, I felt dizzy.
But he still gritted his teeth and stood firm, unable to fall down.
Because everyone needs him.
He cannot fall.
The afterglow of the setting sun carved lines on his cheeks, and the silhouette behind him even covered the clusters of flowers beside him.
Then, there was a long sigh.
There are many disasters.
The people in this land are emerging from the quagmire of disaster. Just as they are about to see a glimmer of light, they stumble again.
Fortunately, they can still stand up.
唔唔唔
The sound of footsteps came, and the old man looked up and saw Tong Xiaolong walking over quickly, "Chief, the phone line has been repaired."
After the words fell, the old man immediately ran to the study and picked up the phone.
"Get off the line for me."
Said quickly, waited for a moment, and finally the phone rang.
After a while, I heard a familiar voice coming from the other side.
"Old Chen, how are you doing there?"
"Chief, this time we are still in Shunde, not far from the last earthquake area."
Mr. Chen's voice came, and his voice was urgent, and you could even hear the deep fatigue in it.
“Fortunately, we were prepared in advance this time and carried out publicity and reminders. Although it was a little hasty, the effect was quite good.”
“So this time the casualties were not large. Compared with the first At one time, it was too little.”
“Now we are preparing people to go around to help.”
Mr. Chen's words made him feel relieved. As long as he was fine, everything else was nothing.
"Old Chen, you should pay attention to your health and take care of yourself."
The old man said sincerely. He knew Mr. Chen's body. It was not good a few years ago. In the past few years, I have gotten better after adjusting my diet based on the advice of alliance experts.
But in a disaster area, there are no conditions.
When I went last time, I looked haggard.
Before leaving, he also asked him to pay attention to his work and rest, but this time there was an earthquake again, so you can imagine his work.
“Chief, now when I close my eyes, I think of those homeless people. How can I sleep?”
“This earthquake damaged the house again, leaving only Most of the houses have become dilapidated and uninhabitable.”
“ Right now, there is a shortage of tents, food, medicine, clothes, everything."
Mr. Chen said, and the old man responded, "Don't worry, we have allocated supplies and they will be there soon. Send it to you.”
"I know, I want to go to the hospital for a visit. The situation there is quite tense. Let's talk about it later."
"Okay. You must take care of yourself."
"Well, you That’s right.”
After hanging up the phone, the old man was about to take a drink of water when the phone on the table rang again.
“Hey!”
"What? Okay, I understand."
Hang up the phone, the old man didn't care about drinking water, he immediately picked up the phone again and dialed.
After making a call, hang up, then call again.
Until evening, the old man’s body had never touched the chair.
Tong Xiaolong on the side was worried and wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't get a word in, so he could only worry beside him.
'It would be great if Secretary Tang was here at this moment. ’
Guangdong Mansion.
Tang Mingyue was walking in the corridor holding her belly. As the due date was approaching, the doctor told her to move around more.
Fortunately, the baby in the belly is not big, so walking is not too affected.
But at this time, she was still walking very fast.
When I came to the door, I knocked gently, but there was no sound from inside.
Then he opened the door and saw the uncle inside talking on the phone. When he saw her, he stretched out his hand and asked her to come in and sit down first.
"I know, okay."
The uncle hung up the phone with a serious look on his face.
I just saw Tang Mingyue smile again, "I asked you to rest, why did you start working again?"
Tang Mingyue smiled first, then picked up the report in his hand, "Uncle, look at this."
"There are many people from Southeast Asia coming to Peninsula Hospital."
Uncle After taking it, he looked grim.
"Uncle, our current supply is barely balanced. If these people join in, the medicine will be tight."
"Also, the last time Leader Han sent news, the doctors at the hospital This period of time is all about taking turns. If we don’t take a break, it may affect our work.”
The uncle rubbed his brow after hearing this, and then said, "There is even worse news."
Tang Mingyue looked stern.
"I just received news that another earthquake occurred in Shunde. This time it was stronger than the first time, with a minimum score of 7.5, and there will be more in the future."
"This loss, It’s too big.”
“There is a shortage of materials now, and the railway department is urgently repairing the railway. When the time comes, transportation must also be prioritized to ensure transportation in the disaster area.”
"Also, in the pharmaceutical factory in Sijiu City, a workshop was destroyed because of this."
"If they want to resume production, the output will be reduced by one-third. Now they are thinking of a way. "
After saying that, the uncle raised his head, his expression full of helplessness.
I just got a little better, but it was a slap in the face.
Tang Mingyue is naturally aware of the country's situation. Her family's financial resources are too thin. An earthquake is not bad, but with these successive earthquakes, the landlord's family has no food left.
"Is it so serious at the pharmaceutical factory?"
Tang Mingyue thought of something and suddenly asked.
The uncle nodded, "Yes, what Yang Xiaotao reported in person will not be false."
Hearing this name, the worry in his heart suddenly dropped.
But then he frowned again.
Nowadays, relying on the cornucopia of Peninsula Hospital, it can be said that it is making money every day. Last year, the combined foreign exchange of all industries in the country was only 12 billion yuan. However, from January 1st to now, in less than three months, the Peninsula Hospital has sent 800 million US dollars to the country. According to The current exchange rate is almost 2 billion yuan.
At this rate, this place alone is equivalent to a year’s total foreign exchange.
And this is still the early stage. If medicines can keep up, this number will be even more exaggerated.
But now, I was interrupted. I was really unwilling.
"Mingyue!"
Suddenly, the uncle was holding a cigarette, his expression became wise, and Tang Mingyue immediately raised his head.
"Immediately prepare a notice to the effect that our country is facing a serious natural disaster."
"In view of this, we will exchange medicines for supplies."
< br>“And, priority is given to exchange for supplies.”
Tang Mingyue seemed to have caught something, "Uncle, do you want to let them transport the things themselves?"
"Absolutely, we may not be able to buy things if we have money, but let them transport them themselves. This is not right. That’s it?”
“Food, cloth Horses, clothes, tents, etc., as long as they are materials, we will change them."
Tang Mingyue understood in her heart, "Okay, I will go and prepare."
After that, the uncle left. After thinking for a while, I picked up the phone again and called Shanghai Shipyard.
Shanghai, Navy Headquarters.
The one-armed old man is sitting on a chair and looking at documents.
A young man walked in at the door, holding a thermos bottle in his hand. He came behind the old man and poured water into the water glass on his left.
"Grandpa, we are ready to eat."
The one-armed old man glanced at his grandson in front of him and showed a kind smile, "Xiao Anzi, why are you back?"
"Hey, the sailors are on holiday, I'll come back to see you."
Chen An pulled out a stool and sat down, looking at the documents on the table with a curious expression.
"What are you looking at? This is what you can see."
Although the old man's voice was scolding, there was a look of doting on his face that was visible to the naked eye.
"Grandpa, are we going to build a big ship?"
"You kid, why are you asking this?"
"Grandpa, I heard people on the boat say that we want to make a bigger boat so that we can install bigger cannons and shoot farther. "
The one-armed old man laughed and then shook his head.
“Our big ship is not equipped with cannons.”
“Why?”
Chen An asked puzzledly. In his opinion, those battleships and their thick gun muzzles were the most powerful weapons for defending the sea.
The old man stretched out his left hand and stroked his grandson's head. This grandson is no longer young this year, but his knowledge is still limited around him.
Thinking about Captain Yang recognizing that grandson, his current achievements are even higher than his own.
The reason why they were able to study large ships was thanks to the models that people had traveled thousands of miles to build.
And the large ship they are now enlarging to equal proportions has brought them new ideas and opened new doors.
If this big ship, or even the big ships in the future, are built, that guy will have a share of the credit.
And all their sailors owe someone a favor.
"Xiao Anzi, in this era, the cannon is no longer the overlord."
Chen An pursed his lips and continued to ask, "The cannon is gone, so what should we pretend to be?"< br>
The one-armed old man smiled, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Our big ship is equipped with airplanes."
Ring ring ring
The voice fell and the phone rang.
The old man stretched out his left hand to pick up the phone, and stood up from his seat in the next second. His whole person became serious and iron-blooded.
“Chief!”
“Yes, understand, I will arrange the fleet right away.”
After hanging up the phone, the old man had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Xiao Anzi, after you finish your meal, go back by yourself."
Chen An nodded after hearing this and did not ask.
Under night.
At the harbor, a destroyer slowly sailed out and headed south.
On the ship shrouded in darkness, the newly repaired deck and the name Su guarded the origin of the destroyer.
The flag placed at the highest point rustled in the night wind.
Behind it, six of the latest fishing boats came out one after another, followed the destroyer, and disappeared into the night.
Peninsula Hospital
When Han Xuanfeng got the document sent by Tang Mingyue, he was silent for a moment, then picked up the document and went to discuss it with Fo Langji in Haojing.
After this period of cooperation, the two parties have already established a basis for cooperation.
Especially, the answer sheet given by the defenders of Peninsula Hospital during the last attack on people who were living a good life simply frightened the Francois.
If nothing else, these people stationed at the hospital would be able to sweep Hao Jing if they really wanted to fight.
Of course, this is only talking about the strength on the ground.
What they really relied on were the three gunboats staying in the port.
Although they are all products from ten years ago, compared with the opposite, this is already a remarkable existence.
It is precisely because of the support of these three gunboats that they can stand up straight when they speak.
However, they also know that now is the time for win-win cooperation. It would be great for everyone to make money together.
When Han Xuanfeng found the Folangji people to communicate, he wanted to exchange medicines and houses through the port.
After hearing this, Franji immediately shook his head and rejected it.
Wharfs, especially military wharves where gunboats dock, are not open to casual access, as that would be detrimental to the country's face.
Han Xuanfeng spent a lot of time, but the other party still refused to let go. These guys were all greedy like beetles. They were more active than anyone else in making money. Now he said Talking about loyalty and honor made him sick.
If it hadn't been impossible, he, Han Xuanfeng, would have had people rush in with armored vehicles and kill all these guys.
No matter how hard you try, it still doesn’t work.
As a result, on the morning of the next day, Fo Langjiren suddenly found Han Xuanfeng and thought they could talk.
This sudden change made Han Xuanfeng unable to recover and felt that the other party was teasing him.
Until I received news that the fleet that went to Shanghai fought a victorious battle in the strait last night and destroyed three of the opponent's gunboats.
Now I figured it out, weren’t there just three gunboats in the other side’s harbor?
Han Xuanfeng smiled happily, and then thought of the changes in these Folangji people before and after, and fully understood that wise saying.
Truth is only within the range of the cannon.
Dignity only lies on the edge of the sword.
