Chapter 442: From out of reach to within reach(1/2)
Chapter 442: From far away to within reach
Early in the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere in the Military Security Bureau was a bit strange. This year was a bumper year for the Military Security Bureau to start. From the outstanding performance of Long Jian’s several missions in China, to the successful completion of the mission with the Dragon Group as the ultimate defense force, to the successful graduation of training outstanding talents for each unit in the base, and the completion of the first female unit team, these are all the capitals of the Military Security Bureau.
The greatest capital is undoubtedly the perfect performance of the director leading the members of the bureau in the international military competition, which completely dissipated the voices of doubt. The Military Security Bureau has completely become the cradle of the pride of the army. When they are in the army, they are honored to be trained by the Military Security Bureau and proud to be selected to work in the Military Security Bureau. Many people are thrusting their heads to enter the Military Security Bureau and want to put the layer of gold into the Military Security Bureau.
So many achievements have made the Military Security Bureau this year's New Year's training much easier than last year's intense training. From yesterday until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the bureau did not arrange training tasks, and all personnel have the right to go out.
But on the last morning before the New Year, almost everyone did not go out to enjoy this rare holiday. Some people wiped off the frost from the windows in the dormitory and watched inside the house, some people watched on the training ground, and some people ran to the office building to watch.
The direction everyone is focused on is the office building gate. The few people there will be honored to have dinner and have a party with the national leaders today. The most important thing is that they will be commended and awarded in front of many leaders. This supreme honor may not be encountered by a general in his life. The Military Security Bureau has been established for more than a year and under the leadership of the director, he has obtained such an opportunity. Everyone is envious, and at the same time, they have set a goal for themselves in their hearts. They must work hard and may have such opportunities in the future.
Xiaojun did not sleep at home after the banquet last night. Although Xiaoyu's eyes were very resentful, he still returned to the bureau with his comrades. Everyone set out together in the morning and would be taught by some rules in the Tianjing Military Region in the afternoon. After all, today's occasions have to be broadcasted against audiences across the country, and so many leaders have to be familiar with some basic rules. He has to get such good results in the military competition, and the people across the country are waiting for the return of these heroes. The people are still very curious about how these soldiers who have won honors for the motherland will be commended.
Put on the black and shiny military shoes and put on the clean military uniforms. Xiaojun and his group walked out of the office building in neat clothes. They were greeted by warm applause and blessings in the sky.
During this celebration, Xiaojun would not look serious as the director, but instead salute all the soldiers who congratulated him and others with a smile. Dashan and the group behind him also stood at attention and gave a solemn salute.
When they arrived at the Tianjing Military Region, Dashan and others were called to a conference room by the director of the Military Region’s Political Department and told them some rules they should abide by. They did not rush to the Great Hall of the People of China with Zhou Weimin Zuo Aiguo until two o'clock in the afternoon.
For many people, the commendation meeting before the formal state banquet and party began was a bit of a domineering. The hall had been arranged, and Xiaojun and others entered the hall early, and there were many middle and high-level Chinese officials sitting in a staggered manner.
This event was considered to be a reception for the National People's Congress and some representatives of the people at the model worker conference that just ended some time ago. Many democratic figures were also present. Except for the two tables in the first row, there was no one in the conference hall, after Xiaojun and others entered the venue.
Dashan and others sat upright on a table near the rostrum in the second row, watching the stars shining around them. The faces that were dressed simply but often appeared in front of the TV also made Dashan and others a little nervous. This was a state banquet, a gathering at the highest level of China. How fortunate I was to be in such an occasion.
Xiaojun saw many familiar faces among the many people, including Mr. Hong, General Yang, Zhang Tianyang, Wu Jie and Liu Zhigang, and hello voices everywhere. Xiaojun couldn't help but greet some familiar people enthusiastically.
"Old Hong!" "General Yang!" Director Wu!" "Director Liu!"
People who had a good relationship with the Zuo family and Xiaojun talked enthusiastically with Xiaojun with a look of congratulations. The congratulations in their words were very strong. It seemed that this incident had already spread among the top leaders.
Xiaojun just smiled bitterly at the elders, Mu Xiuyuyu. This time it was really not just Mu Xiuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyu
Xiaojun is definitely the focus of the entire hall now. Everyone knows that the party one hour in advance was prepared for them, for the Military Security Bureau, or for Zuo Haojun. All the eyes looking at Xiaojun were envy, blessings, jealousy, and resentment.
It doesn't matter if you see such a young man stepping into the top circle of China with one foot and not too far away from that small circle, it is normal for him to be jealous except for the real boss.
Xiaojun glanced at the resentful eyes and glanced at him. On the other tables symmetrical to the left and right where Dashan and others sat, some middle-aged people looked at him with some hostility and hatred. Although Xiaojun, the two most serious men, had not met formally, they were not unfamiliar with them.
Zhao Pengfei and Li Kai's fathers, Zhao Hai and Li Kangmei, who had conflicts with him in the night bar, have both entered the sequence of inspections of reserve leading cadres and served in the State Council and the General Staff respectively, holding real power in their hands. However, such two people actually lost their identity in front of a junior, and their son was also stomped by the other party. The incident still has a laughing stock after dinner. Although these people dare not show anything in front of them, the occasional rumors made the two feel very unhappy.
Zuo Haojun, who started a company outside, worked as an actor, lived a luxurious and corrupt life, had many contacts with many economic figures and the appreciation of his superiors, not only did he not stop and rose step by step. In today's scene, not to mention young people like him, even those of his older generation of direct children have never enjoyed such treatment. Don't say that such treatment has been reduced several times. What's the virtue of Zuo Haojun? He can have such "privileges" and make so many people love him so much.
I feel dissatisfied with dissatisfaction. Regardless of resentment, it is okay to complain in my heart, but if I really want to say the word Zuo Haojun is not worthy, no one will be confident. If Zuo Haojun is not standing on the direct opposite of his faction, if there is not such a little flaw in him, if he is a junior on our side?
The remaining Zhao Hai and Li Kangmei didn't dare to think about it anymore. In that case, the other party might be worried. Such a young man who can stand alone is not right. He can no longer be classified as a young man. As a master, he can have all this at such a young age. He can no longer be with his children. If he compares him himself, he can find what is his strength?
The reason why the Zhao faction hated Xiaojun so much was not only because of Xiaojun's excellence. They felt that they were being fooled, Zuo Haojun, and were fooled by D. Such a person who was so powerful and wanted to support him would allow him to run outside to 'do things'? I originally thought that a major general was the other party to balance Zuo Haojun's "warrior" behavior, and he still needed to fight for the country. As long as some of the outside behaviors were not too concerned, they were too lazy to ask about it. The Miracle Tour and XG were not rewarded for their own disruption.
Just as everyone thought that Zuo Haojun was just a son and nephew who was loved by many big men and could do irreplaceable to the country, giving him a major general seemed to be incredible now, but ten years later, twenty years later? What can a major general do? When the struggle gradually became clear, as long as Zuo Haojun's achievements could not keep up, it would be very easy to find some of his problems outside. Not to mention the other one, Haoyu clothing. Such a private international company that many people are jealous of will be enough to use the choice between identity and money to attack Zuo Haojun. If you want money, the major general will have to give up. This has to be under the premise that the big men take care of him. If you want identity, the company will have to give up. At that time, you will get such a large company and the country will have a high-quality state-owned enterprise.
Why don’t you fight for merits? Such a Zuo Hao army poses much less threat to the Zhao faction. But who knew that when the fight was turned, the D faction actually made him have such a process of advancing in an instant. This hidden move for a long time suddenly disrupted the entire deployment of the Zhao faction. It was too late to stop it. Zuo Hao army really made great progress for China and achieved impressive results in the international military competition. The calls from the people made no one dare to really stand up and oppose the situation at this time. The power of public opinion cannot be disobeyed!!!
High, really high, too high!
This trick was so beautiful that it caught one of his side off guard.
Unexpectedly, the other party was getting more and more aggressive and actually played such a move. In the party that was attended by the National People's Congress representatives this year, the Chinese special forces, which had been unreachable recently, became the protagonist. When Zuo Haojun and his team entered the venue, it was the most applause on the scene without the important leaders present. The word "winning glory for the country" occupies a large share in the hearts of the people, and even the people who represent public opinion in the audience also had an extremely good attitude towards them.
This approach not only allowed Zuo Haojun to officially enter the front stage with an extremely powerful momentum, but even the people around him became representatives of national heroes. The future development in the army can be said to be smooth. These soldiers brought out by Zuo Haojun are capital. No matter when they are said, Zuo Haojun will have the merit of supporting them!
As time came, accompanied by the intense music, a serious introduction sound rang out in the hall. One by one, the leaders walked into the hall with the introduction sound. The warm applause kept ringing, and the leaders waved to the surroundings frequently.
After the brief and grand ceremony, the main show finally came, and the commendation ceremony of Xiaojun and others finally began.
Several old coaches gathered together in a rare manner to personally present awards to Xiaojun and the soldiers who brought glory to the country. Seeing Liu Shuai, who was over 70 years old, gradually weakening, leaving the medical staff around him and walking to the stage to change the epaulettes on his shoulders, Xiaojun was a little excited. These old coaches are real pillars of the country. No matter how old they are, whether they continue to serve the country and the people in their posts, or whether their physical condition is, when major events and major happy events occur in the real country, they will stand up again. Whether joy or sorrow is a responsibility in their hearts, and a responsibility that they can never let go.
"Good kid, good kid, if your grandfather is alive, he will be proud of you!" Liu Shuai's voice trembled. After changing the lieutenant general's epaulette for Xiaojun, he patted Xiaojun's arm hard and shook hands tightly.
"Bang!" Xiaojun's eyes were a little wet. He would not be so excited when facing other scenes. But when facing these military gods whom he once admired the most in his soul's memory, especially his earnest advice and satisfied voice, Xiaojun was very excited and stood attentive to respect his solemn military salute.
The seven people in Dashan also changed from lieutenant colonels to colonels, and the eight people were wearing brand new epaulettes to salute everyone present.
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopao!!!" The applause continued to sound. The eight people from Xiaojun accepted the blessings from almost all the senior executives in China. A position was left beside them. That position belonged to Fei Ming, and the epaulette and the certificate also belonged to Fei Ming.
Marshal Ye personally came to the stage to read out Lieutenant General Zuo Hao's new work arrangements and orders on adjusting the work functions of the Military Security Bureau.
"The Military Security Bureau will be reorganized after the New Year, and the original organization remains unchanged. A new department is established. The function is to supervise all violations of regulations, discipline and even illegal behaviors in the Chinese army, and has the right to supervise and exercise the right!" As soon as this was said, the following riots were originally the cradle of domestic officers. As long as the soldiers trained from here are the prides of various troops, the two batches of soldiers sent back to the original troops after being trained in a year have become the cornerstones of the troops - the lower-level officers. I believe that it will become the backbone of each troops in the future. This is already a department that is against the will of heaven. Now there is another department that is absolutely against the will of heaven. From this moment on, the Military Security Bureau is definitely the most powerful and powerful department in the army, and it has even surpassed the functions of the General Staff and the General Political Department's intelligence department.
Many people have already started to knock on it. After the New Year, the Military Security Bureau will definitely become a department that everyone will have to enter if they snatch their heads. Is it possible for them or whether their children have them.
Before this idea was clear, Ye Zheng began to arrange the order to Xiaojun again: "Lieutenant General Zuo Haojun's future work arrangements are as follows. The original position of the Director of the Military Security Bureau remains unchanged, and he has absolute control over the personnel rights of the Military Security Bureau. In addition, Huaxia will set up a special group on xg issues from now on, including relevant xg return issues to negotiate with the Y country, and macro-control of the stability of the xg economy and the development concept of social form consciousness. Lieutenant General Zuo Haojun is the group leader, and the deputy group leader and group member candidates will be specially assigned by the Economic Development Group of the State Council."
Short words once again caused the entire venue to fall into small-scale riots. If the increase in the functions of the Military Security Bureau made many people think, then the latest appointment of Zuo Haojun suddenly made many people feel confused.
The Military Security Bureau can only expand, and personnel matters are the top priority. Zuo Haojun has absolute personnel rights, which means that the above recognizes the mixed nature of the Military Security Bureau. Why is it said to be mixed? The Military Security Bureau never offends the nephews of some marginal forces who want to enter the Military Security Bureau to gilt, nor does it reject the gilt people who want to infiltrate the enemy forces. However, their position after entering is very meaningful. It is not an idle position, but on the contrary, it is a very nice position on the name, but it just doesn't allow you to touch the essence of the Military Security Bureau.
The xg issue can be said to be a century of achievements. Anyone who is involved will open up a road to heaven for his political path, with the premise that xg must return successfully and return safely. Before the previous negotiations, this road was hailed as a road without return. Even now, it is still an extremely dangerous road, and if you don’t do it well, you will be in it for the rest of your life.
Is the other party so confident that xg will return smoothly? Or is it confident of Zuo Haojun's ability? Or is it confident of Zuo Haojun's influence in Country Y?
Seeing his father sitting firmly on the chair with a formulaic smile on his face, Zhao Hai and others sat down. It seemed that his father had a strategy to deal with it, and after he returned, he had an answer. What is the meaning behind this move?
In a brief time before the party performance, Xiaojun who stepped down from the stage received many congratulations. There were real or false congratulations, but he no longer cared about them. What he thought about was the new department of the Military Security Bureau and the XG aspect. It seemed that these things were all in his own control. The Military Security Bureau was all in his mind, and XG was back on the agenda, but no one could predict the variables in this. Even if he had a certain advanced memory, the character Zuo Haojun was a person who had never existed in his past memory. Even if he existed, he would definitely be like many descendants of leaders in the future, and never appeared before the public's shots.
Huh? Before the lens?
Xiaojun looked around and saw several cameras standing on both sides and behind. Several reporters were whispering something. A familiar and unfamiliar figure was also among them, so he walked over.
"General Zuo!" The two male reporters shouted when they saw the protagonist today walking to their side, and looked surprised on their faces.
The familiar and unfamiliar figure turned around. It was Hong Ci, who was in charge of the interview work in the military competition. Seeing a hint of embarrassment flashing in Xiaojun's eyes, she initially misunderstood the man. When she saw the man's outstanding performance in the military competition and the scene where the central leader just now treated him, she didn't even doubt her grandfather's words in her heart.
"Is there anything wrong?" After all, Hong Ci is a big family, and there are many big people he has met. Of course, he will not lose his composure when he sees a lieutenant general like his colleagues.
Xiaojun could feel the changes of this unruly woman and could vaguely guess the reasons for the change in the other party's attitude, but at this time he was not in the mood to continue to contact this woman who left a bad impression on him, and said lightly: "I hope you can cooperate and cut all the pictures about my face."
"Hmm?" Several people were stunned for a moment. What did he mean?
"I have a lot of work to do. I can't stay in the office or follow a lot of bodyguards when I go out. It's convenient for me to not show my face. This is just to tell you not to leak negatives and tapes. When you return to Taichung, you will naturally be ordered to come to your stage. By the way, my comrades in the army are also good to try to avoid the shots and just flash by, just like on the island." Xiaojun smiled at the few people, then quickly turned around and returned to his own table, because the performance on the stage had already begun.
Several reporters looked at Hong Ci. Almost everyone in the stage knew that the young lady had a deep identity and background, so she naturally had to make decisions on such a scene.
"He is right, we should try not to take pictures of his face. If the angle does not allow it, we can take a little side face. The people around him should also try to take fewer photos. The nature of their work is destined to let the people of the whole country know their faces familiarly." Hong Ci is not ignorant of the importance. I believe that even if Zuo Haojun doesn't come, he will definitely receive an order not to let the front faces of these people play when he returns to Taichung. Just like the scenes transmitted back on the island at first, although the on-site reports cannot be processed, the playback scenes have obviously been edited and all the close-ups have been cut off.
I don’t know how many people are watching the performance on the stage. Anyway, Xiaojun knew that he didn’t have the heart to watch these “old” programs. It was not until a voice appeared that Xiaojun, who had been sitting there facing the stage, was completely unconscious and looked at the stage.
Has she reached this level? It seems that she underestimated her and wanted to pave the way for the other party. Isn’t it good to see if they are walking? Now that they can excel in the art troupe to this extent and perform programs for national leaders here, it can be said that it is already the pillar of the military art troupe.
Watching Dong Xiuxiu sing her future plagiarism on stage, Xiaojun temporarily put the thoughts circling in his mind aside. These things were not thought of by sitting here, but were made. He seriously admired Dong Xiuxiu's singing, her voice was really good. Maybe she could become a Chinese singer. She didn't need to develop a popular singer, and that path might not be suitable for her.
This kind of party and eating at a large table of more than 20 people is just a symbol. It is pure nonsense to say who wants to eat here and watch the performance in this environment.
After Dong Xiuxiu's singing, the performance was coming to an end. The state banquet officially began. The leaders came on stage to send New Year greetings, and then the programmatic largest "dinner" in China began.
"Director, it's really uncomfortable to eat here!" Dashan and the others were very uncomfortable to eat. The table was too big to reach, the plate was quite large and there were not many things, so they stood up and didn't dare to.
Xiaojun laughed a little and whispered to the few people: "Let you feel everything here. Who told you to really let go of eating? Look around, how many people are really using their chopsticks to eat."
When the mountain turned around, it was true that the people on each table were waiting for the leaders to toast them one by one. The things in front of each person had basically not moved except for the wine glass.
"I would have known that I would have eaten more at noon, but I thought I could have enough food in the largest dinner in China at night. Who knew it would be like this?" Dashan muttered, and Xiaojun and his men burst into laughter.
"Come here, everyone stand up!" The leader's toast was divided into regions and people. Xiaojun originally thought that he would be Marshal Ye or some members of the Military Commission coming to toast, but who knew that it was the boss named Zhao who came over with a glass of wine.
"Come on, I wish our heroes of China a glass of wine. Thank you for the honor you have won for China. We are proud of you. Raise our glasses and have a drink!"
Whether it is different ideas or opposite identities, the other party really worked hard for China. Looking at the other party’s smiling face, Xiaojun and others raised their glasses together and toast!
It is rare that he has always tasted it briefly. He raised his wine glass and raised his head to kill all the wine in the glass, giving this table a huge face, and recorded this scene with his back to Xiaojun and others' cameras and cameras.
After shook hands with everyone at this table, the boss named Zhao who should have left did not leave, but instead walked to Xiaojun's side.
"General Zuo is the pillar of China, I hope you can continue to play the role of a pillar in the future to contribute to the construction of the Chinese army and economic development. Forgot to congratulate General Zuo, come and pour the wine, and I will toast General Zuo!" This is also a precedent. Where will the leader toast a person alone at such a state banquet? Although Xiaojun is one of the protagonists today.
"You are polite!" Xiaojun has little respect and enthusiasm. After all, his ideas are different. As the saying goes, "Don't make plans for each other, especially if he has already chosen a team, then he should never waver when he stands in a team.
This glass of wine attracted the attention of several nearby tables, and the sound of pressing the camera shutter kept ringing.
After the banquet, it is time to take a group photo, the NPC deputies and leaders took a group photo, the democrats and leaders took a group photo, the model workers and leaders took a group photo
After the lively scene passed, no one would continue to stay. What Xiaojun and others did not expect was that on the side of the street outside, Ye Hai, Su Guo, and Wang Zhi, the three men, who were originally from the army, heard that the heroes trained in their troops were unable to return home for the New Year because they wanted to participate in this party, so they sent a car to Tianjing to pick them up, preparing to take them back to their hometown for the New Year overnight. Wang Zhi, the farthest, even had to take more than 24 hours of long-distance trip to return home. Being able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night was the ideal result.
Originally, Xiaojun was thinking about seeing if he could get the plane tickets for the three of them tomorrow morning, but now he didn't need it. Although the driving was slow, the feeling of being one step closer to home every moment was incomparable to waiting and taking a fast transportation. If he didn't leave now, I believe that the feeling of returning home this night would make them unable to fall asleep.
"Before leaving, I've prepared some New Year's goods for you. Don't go home empty-handed for the New Year!" Xiaojun brought the three of them into the car one by one, and then told a few people to go to the Military Security Bureau.
The comrades who came through the environment of life and death naturally would not bother with who would spend money on such matters. The three of them also had to return to the bureau to get some gifts they prepared for their families, so they accepted it happily.
Damin, Gouzi and Big Bear also left and returned home. They knew that the director must have something to deal with, otherwise he would leave with himself and others who lived in the same compound.
Zhou Weimin and Zuo Aiguo were also among the second wave of leaving.
"Son, the leader is looking for you!" Zuo Aiguo signaled Dashan to follow him and said to Xiaojun.
In the car of D, Xiaojun looked at Grandpa D with many white hairs added to his temples and sighed in his heart. If he hadn't known that this old man had nearly 20 years of life, he might not have imagined that such a thin body would be the one who could win this "struggle" that actually compares who would have lived for a long time.
"Why, Xiaojun, your grandfather is not old yet, don't show that look!" A joke dispelled the little strangeness between the gods and grandchildren who had not been chatting alone for a long time.
Xiaojun could feel the sincere feelings in the old man's words, and it was rare to reveal a trace of what the younger generation should have. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and smiled foolishly.
"It's a bit embarrassing for a general to do this! Haha, let's talk about some serious things. I'll go to comfort some old cadres later. I don't have much time. Children, what do you think about this matter? You can talk about it. If you complain, you can only send it in this car. After getting off the car, you can put 100% energy into doing it. Do you understand?" D did not show the attitude of a leader at all, and he was like an elder treating his younger generation.
Xiaojun took out a cigarette and lit it for D. After lit it himself, he took a sip and then slowly said: "Grandpa D, I have no complaints for China, but my age will be an obstacle. Are you not in a hurry to move today?"
To be continued...
