The fleet finally left, taking away three injured warships, six fallen soldiers, and compensation for dozens of wounded people, as well as all military expenses and part of the war compensation, and directly took away two thousand dollars worth of Coconut City National Bank. Two million dollars in gold reserves.
Also leaving were nearly 250,000 abandoned citizens of Yecheng. Yes, they were abandoned by Yecheng on their own initiative. All these have official documents. This time Yecheng took the initiative to launch an attack on the fleet on the high seas, and also carried out detailed According to records, the two sides reached a written memorandum, and General Su signed it in humiliation.
There is no way. I don’t know if the enemy army became energetic after learning that it was attacked, or if it deliberately set a trap during the retreat. My army once again fell into a stalemate with the opponent and was unable to withdraw. At the same time, compared to Li Xiaojun’s repeated emphasis on the need to surrender, It would be easier to identify the war criminal who initiated this dispute and sign a signature to admit his fault and compensate him. And I chose to block the news about this incident, which is too shameful.
"Chief, it's fun to follow you. Now Lao Yang should be happy." Li Xiaojun said with a smile.
"This matter is not over yet. They suffered such a big loss this time. There is no way they can swallow it. I don't know if they did it right. The autonomous region still needs to do some preventive work."
When Li Xiaojun was the final signatory, he had already indicated the identity of the fleet. This is what it should be. Otherwise, how would the two parties reach a memorandum of understanding?
"Of course, sir, this time I rescued so many compatriots, brought back so much money, and even vented my anger on my compatriots and avenged them. Why is it wrong?"
Looking at the turbulent sea, Zhu Xuefeng sighed, "He has to find a place to make up for such a big loss. I guess they will treat the compatriots who have not left even worse, so I don't know whether it is right or wrong."
Li Xiaojun scratched his head, "Chief, when you say this, it is really possible. He will probably have to bear this debt on the Han people. What should we do?"
"Of course I can't just ignore it. I have to go to Europe when I get to Star City. These are the drafts I've been thinking about these days. You can take them back and study them carefully. This matter is definitely not over."
Zhu Xuefeng threw down a pile of plans and left. Li Xiaojun followed the leader's wishes and sailed back slowly. Every time he passed a port, he had to dock to receive some abandoned people. The cities along the way surprisingly maintained a high degree of cooperation. All garrisons and fleets , all remained silent about this strange fleet.
As a result, Li Xiaojun's fleet was no longer useful, and he could only sail back with an increasingly larger fleet in frustration, requisitioning countless large and small cargo ships along the way. Of course, these civilian cargo ships would return on their own after receiving a small reward.
Song Yan read the plan left by the leader and handed it to Yang Maosheng who was still laughing without saying a word. Yang Maosheng read it carefully and let out a long breath.
His Highness's plan is incredible. "I haven't said anything yet. Our civil affairs department strongly supports it. I have no objections."
Not to mention the follow-up actions of the autonomous region, Zhu Xuefeng only stayed in Xiangjiang for one day and left in a hurry. People in Xiangjiang are now furious, and some indignant Chinese businessmen and various organizations are also discussing in secret.
Zhu Xuefeng, who returned to school again, was completely silent. He ignored the turmoil in the outside world and immersed himself in study and research. He didn't hurriedly return home until the holidays came. After disappearing in Moscow for two days, he finally solved a major issue and returned to the capital in a low-key manner.
It is already early April of 1966. In the study room of the courtyard, the three of them are confiding to each other. They haven’t seen each other for half a year.
"You said what happened at Uncle Lu's house affected even your dad?"
"Well, Grandpa Lu is down, Uncle Lu is also exempted now, and my dad is under investigation."
Zhu Xuefeng was in a daze and had long forgotten about Uncle Lu's family. He was still thinking about it a few years ago.
"There's a lot of movement?" Zhu Xuefeng still couldn't believe that even Director Xia would be affected.
Xia Yuhong nodded, "There was a lot of commotion, and the entire public security system was affected. Deputy Director Guo directly replaced Grandpa Lu."
Zhu Xuefeng was silent. It seemed that this was the major event that Team Leader Guo had been planning since the year before last. I didn't expect that he could turn around again. It was really amazing.
"Guo Junjie has been released from prison and is now at home." Lin Na added a new situation on the side.
"Don't worry about him, he can't jump up and down." Zhu Xuefeng didn't take him seriously at all.
"How's your work going? Is there any news?"
The two shook their heads, "It's very difficult for me here. The higher-ups have set requirements, requiring political qualifications, working for three years, and strong professional ability to have the opportunity to apply. Now I can only continue to wait." Lin Na was also a little disappointed. She originally hoped that Right before our eyes, a temporary new requirement ruined the plan that had been prepared for more than a year.
"I'm different from Sister Na. I haven't become a regular employee yet. Now that my dad's investigation is not over, I can't even submit an application. If my dad is fine and can escape smoothly, I may still have a chance in the second half of the year."
In the second half of the year, Zhu Xuefeng secretly sighed. It was already April, and there were still more than two months before the strong winds started to blow. It would be difficult to travel normally by then. Zhu Xuefeng no longer expected the two of them to go to Hong Kong normally. Never keep up with the changes.
"Let's do this, Lin Na. I will accompany Xiaohong to visit Lao Xia tomorrow, and then go to your house the day after tomorrow."
The complicated marriage relationship between the three people has been hidden from everyone. It is going smoothly so far and has not been exposed, so Zhu Xuefeng has to run in both directions when he comes back.
"I'm fine. You should accompany Xiaohong to see his dad first. My mom is fine now."
"That's it."
After making arrangements for the two days, I also got to know the situation of my younger brothers and sisters. Generally speaking, everything is normal. Xuesong came back for the Spring Festival, so the two girls specially called them over to spend the New Year in the compound, which was a way to make up for it. Feeling sorry for their eldest brother's absence, the two little guys are now tacitly aware of the fact that they have two sisters-in-law. After meeting in Xiangjiang last time, they already knew that they have several sisters-in-law.
"By the way, I see there are a lot of temporary sheds on the streets outside. They haven't been demolished yet. Will the earthquake have such a big impact?"
A few days ago, a strong earthquake and several major aftershocks occurred in Xingcheng, not far from the capital. I heard that the impact on the capital was not small.
"The capital city is okay. Some old and shabby people are in danger, but there are no casualties. However, it is said that the local area is very miserable. Both our units have organized donations, many units have also organized rescue teams, and many people have gone to the steel rolling mill."
"These years have been really troubled." Zhu Xuefeng sighed and said nothing.
While the two girls went to work, Zhu Xuefeng sent Qiu Hong away. She had to go back to the temple to see that she had two children practicing in the temple.
In the space, only Gulinazha was lying quietly. This poor girl probably had to lie there for ten days and a half, which was a big loss. When Xia Yuhong came back from get off work happily, the two of them carried large and small bags, rode on Xia Yuhong's big pedal, and left the compound
Zhu Xuefeng's arrival greatly surprised Xia's mother. Seeing the young couple carrying so many gifts in large and small packages, Xia's mother took them with distress, "Just go home, why did you buy so many things? Xiaofeng, you still have It’s such a waste of money to go to school. I used to bring a bunch of foreign stuff every time I came back.”
As she said this, Xia's mother was still very happy. This son-in-law really suited her liking. Although he was still studying abroad, whenever he came back, he would always bring him big and small packages of rare things, and he was extremely filial.
"Mom, don't feel bad for him. His salary while studying abroad is higher than the three of us combined. Where's Dad?"
Mother Xia sighed and glanced at Zhu Xuefeng, "Your dad was upset and went to relax by the small lake behind. It's time for me to finish the meal. You two go out again. Xiaohong, go buy some cooked food and come back. , let him and his father drink something later, Xiaofeng, you go to the small lake behind and call your dad back.”
"Okay, Mom, we're going down right now."
Lao Xia now lives in the new family area of the steel rolling mill. Several factory leaders are in this building. They may all be working overtime, but I didn't see any leaders along the way.
"You go to the lake, I'll buy cooked food myself, pig ears and peanuts, right?" Xia Yuhong knew that Zhu Xuefeng liked these kinds of food.
"Well, you really don't need me to accompany you? Zhu Xuefeng smiled, even seeing the grocery store, Xia Yuhong still had to take care of herself, so she probably still has a thin skin.
Xia Yuhong shook her head, "No, hurry up and enlighten my dad. He has been a revolutionary for a lifetime. It's good to have some free time now. Don't always dwell in the alley and make yourself uncomfortable."
"You should say these words to Lao Xia yourself."
"My dad doesn't listen to me, but you can talk better. Hurry up, I'm going." Looking at Xia Yuhong running for a few steps, he looked back at himself. The two of them got together less and separated more, and they couldn't stay together for more than a few days at a time. Just left by himself.
This time, I really wanted to let the two of them go to Xiangjiang. After I returned to China, I was alone again. For a while, my plan wavered a little. A family is only a family when they stay together. I seemed to have lost a lot of things in this way. It seemed that I had lost a lot of things. We need to discuss it with the two of them again.
"Xiao Feng, when did you come back?" Lao Xia, who was sitting in a daze on a chair by the lake, was overjoyed to see his son-in-law unexpectedly and got up happily.
"Dad, Mom asked me to ask you to go back and serve dinner. I got home yesterday afternoon and slept all day. Come here today."
Lao Xia took his son-in-law's hand and looked him up and down, "Yeah, it's been a long journey. What are you going to do when you come back? Let's go for a walk. Now that you're back, just drink two drinks with me. I'll only let you drink some if you come. It's a chance." Don't lose it." Lao Xia seemed to have forgotten all his worries and was cheerful.
When I got home, Xia Yuhong had already returned. When I reached the fourth floor corridor, I heard her expressing her gratitude, "Mom, I'm lucky today. I still have two sauced pig's trotters left. I rounded them all. I know you like to chew on these things."
"As if you don't like chewing, damn girl, give it to me. I'll cut it up so that the old man can drink."
Lao Xia happily pushed open the half-opened door and said with a smile, "Hey, there are also pig's trotters, good stuff, haha, Xiaohong, thanks to you today, I will drink more later."
Xia's mother muttered in the kitchen, "You have to take care of yourself. You are not a young person. Take it easy, as if you are not allowed to drink."
The family sat down happily, one big stew, one pickled vegetables, then a portion of peanuts, a portion of pickled pig's trotters and a portion of cut ears. Lao Xia rubbed his hands and picked up chopsticks to greet them.
"Come on, family members, don't be so particular, try my wife's stew first."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled while pouring wine for everyone. "It smells delicious. I always think about this one at home when I'm abroad. Mom, your skills must be passed down. Xiaohong's stew is far worse than yours."
Xia Yuhong rolled her eyes at Zhu Xuefeng, "Then next time I stew it, don't eat it. Who are you, stepping on me just to flatter my mother-in-law?"
Xia's mother was so happy that she couldn't help but say, "Xiaohong usually doesn't do much, so let me tell you, if you live at home and can't cook the food well, you will definitely complain. My daughter, don't be dissatisfied, you still have to practice hard."
After everyone had a drink together, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, "It's definitely right to listen to your parents more."
Once again, Xia Yuhong rolled her eyes. After drinking for three rounds, they slowly started talking about Lao Xia. Director Lu’s father was Lao Xia’s boss. Now he was reported to have made a mistake and had come down. As a close Lao Xia, The subordinates will naturally be subject to investigation, so now they have stopped working and are free at home.
"There's nothing wrong with me. According to my estimation, it will be fine in another month or two. It's mainly about things in the factory. I'm a little worried."
It turns out that the trust model of the steel rolling mill is advancing steadily with the support of superiors. Just as Lao Xia is currently idle, the vehicle factory has been temporarily taken over by Li Huaide, the main person in charge of the trust model. It is now being promoted with great fanfare, and in order to strengthen relations with various places The project office was established through contact with the units. At the same time, because the units affiliated to the trust project are distributed across the country and work needs to be done, the guest houses belonging to the trust are also being intensively planned.
"Dad, are you worried that you won't be able to go back even if the investigation is over?"
Lao Xia took a sip and said, "Don't tell me, this possibility is not impossible. You haven't seen that Deputy Director Li. He is now in a state of turmoil. He looks like he is going to do something big. He has made a huge noise and now he has taken over." I think it’s very difficult for the vehicle factory to let him out again.”
Lao Xia has a deep affection for the vehicle factory. Nearly half of them are old employees who came from the original motorcycle factory. In the past few years, Lao Xia has worked hard at the vehicle factory. Who else could have watched the children he raised follow others? I will also feel unhappy.
"Old man, there's nothing you can't bear to part with. According to me, they all belong to the country. You can do whatever you are told. With your ability, you can be famous anywhere." Mother Xia bit into a small piece of pig's trotters and spoke. .
"That's right, Dad, I believe you. With Xiaofeng here, let's set up a car manufacturer to make that man named Li angry." Xia Yuhong knew that many of the projects in the vehicle factory were products designed with the help of her own man, and she was quite confident about this. Confidence, eyes rolling wildly, wondering if it would be more appropriate for a man to kidnap her father and become a factory director. She had seen the industrial park in Xiangjiang before. The heavy motorcycle factory was larger than the vehicle factory. Conditions are better.
"Daughter, this is not as simple as you said. A project needs to go through many discussions and reviews before it is approved. Besides, the steel rolling mill has a vehicle factory, and it is impossible for the superiors to approve another one."
Xia Yuhong smiled and said nothing. This was her little thought. She wanted to find an opportunity to ask her man if it was possible.
"Dad, since you are allowed to rest, you should rest for a few days. You have been very tired over the years. It is a good time for you to take good care of yourself and provide logistical support for Mom for a few days."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and enlightened. He had never heard of any major trust projects in China. It is estimated that the trust model of the steel rolling mill will end like that. (End of chapter)
