163 The Experience of an Ordinary Teenager
163 The experience of an ordinary boy
"I met someone..." Zhong Yun seemed to be trapped in memory, "The first thing he said when he saw me was, 'Please call me zero...'"
He told the story, telling the story of an ordinary boy who had made progress and became stronger little by little after encountering a mysterious, powerful and almost omnipotent teacher by chance.
In this story, Zero is a man of a mysterious origin. He interacted with Zhong Yun because of an accident. The cold and indifferent alien visitor looked at the introverted and dull Zhong Yun with a different eye.
After listening to his story, Zhong Pingjiang and Yunrong were silent. This matter was even more bizarre than the novel and movie, but the changes that happened to his son were real. Besides, there was no need for him to make up such a fantasy lie.
After a while, Zhong Pingjiang asked, "Do you know that zero - the word is a bit confusing, and there is no such word in Davao - that is, your teacher, where did he come from?"
Zhong Yun spread his hands and said helplessly, "I don't know either. I asked him, and he only said that he came from a very, very distant country, what is the name of the earth. Have you heard of it?"
"Earth?" Zhong Pingjiang frowned. He had never heard of the name of this country before. He turned to look at his wife. He shook his head when he saw her, thinking that it was probably a powerful country far from the Omi Galaxy.
In his understanding, being able to conduct space navigation across the star domain is at least a high-level civilization. But he didn't know that although zero can be said to be from the earth, it was not produced by the earth.
Zhong Pingjiang let go of this question and asked some other details, such as whether Zero is his name, what he looks like, how did you contact him, etc.
Zhong Yun was prepared, "He just contacted me through my computer, and I have never seen him, so I don't know his name."
He answered what he could answer, and said he didn't know what he couldn't answer. Anyway, he had already had a good confession with Xiao Ling, and even if they confronted Xiao Ling, they wouldn't be exposed.
Finally, Zhong Pingjiang made a request, "Can I let me contact zero?" After all, he was worried about this mysterious character, so he wanted to chat with him in person.
Zhong Yun felt a little embarrassed, "You have to ask him this, wait a moment." Then he stood up and walked to the corner.
When Zhong Pingjiang and the others saw him take out the computer and mutter for a while, they ran back excitedly, "He agreed." Then they looked at Yunrong apologetically, "But they can only be alone with their father."
"It's okay. Then let's go out first." Yunrong didn't mind, her husband was the same as her.
Handing the movie with him to his father, Zhong Yun followed his mother out of the office.
This time, my "confession" with my parents was out of helplessness. Even if the officers of the First Fleet knew about the Mars, it would be difficult to hide some of his secrets.
I believe that the military headquarters has received the news now, and it will take not long before someone will come to talk to him.
He is now giving his parents a vaccination so that people from the National Security Bureau or other state institutions will come to him without being shocked and lying.
Of course, he would not be so stupid that he would say that he was not the original Zhong Yun, but a soul from the earth. To be honest, he was the murderer who killed his son's soul.
Let this secret rot in my stomach forever, Zhong Yun thought silently.
As Zhong Yun expected, Shi Jinfan, the highest leader of the Davao Republic and the current president, was pondering at the latest information from the military headquarters in the presidential office of the capital Wall.
It took him a long time to answer the phone call from the secretary's office, "Let all cabinet members come over immediately."
Although it is already evening, during the war, his cabinet members have not yet gotten off work. With the Minister of Energy leading by example, all cabinet members have settled in the Presidential Palace.
Soon, cabinet members rushed to the president's office.
"His Excellency President, has the intelligence been sent back on the front line?" As soon as he entered the door, the most urgent Minister of Energy asked.
"Sit down first." The president greeted them.
After everyone sat down, he said, "You can take a look at this information first."
Then a floating screen appeared in front of everyone, with a top-secret document on it.
The Minister of Energy first finished reading it, and he looked up, "Your Excellency, is it because of this young man?" Looking at his expression, he seemed to think the president was making a big fuss.
The president knew his temperament and did not care about him. After everyone finished reading it, he spoke, "I have finished reading it." His eyes swept across everyone's faces, moved his body, changed into a more comfortable position, and a feeling of fatigue appeared in his tone, "Tell me, what do you think."
"Is this more necessary?" the Minister of Energy shouted in a loud voice. "Since he has a spaceship that can annihilate the enemy's most advanced warships, wouldn't it be enough to directly requisition it."
His words made some people frown. If it was really simple, the president would have such a headache. But when they thought of the power represented by this person, they immediately felt relieved. This was purely due to his position, and it would be strange if he didn't say such words.
The president did not comment on his face. Of course he would not take his words seriously. He turned around and asked the old man with a round face sitting at the end, "Director Lin, what do you think?"
Director Lin is not a member of his cabinet, but no one here will underestimate him. This old man who seems very kind on the surface actually controls the most dangerous power in Davao and is a person that must not be provoked.
However, he does not have much political strength and is a shameful person. The reason why he is here is because the president needs the Secret Service's strong intelligence collection ability, and the president specially recruited him into the temporary combat department.
"Does your Excellency the President want me to investigate his background?" Director Lin looked a little restrained on his round face, which was well maintained.
The president frowned slightly. These people were all old foxes. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to make them express their opinions in advance. Those who pretended to be crazy and those who acted foolishly were like an old monk entering into meditation and turning a deaf ear to foreign affairs.
A situation like today will happen once in almost every major meeting, he said, "Let's discuss this later." Then he looked at his left and right hands, the Minister of Finance.
The Minister of Finance sat at the president's head. He was not only the president's left and right hands, but also the only person in this room who was on the same mind as the president. At the same time, he was also the president's think tank.
In just a few minutes, the Minister of Finance had already figured out a solution to the situation. Seeing this, he spoke, "May I ask the President, during the war, how many levels of military rank should be promoted according to the meritorious service?"
The president tapped his finger on his thigh twice and thought, "Well, the commander should be able to improve one star if he annihilates a main fleet."
Because according to regulations, only the general can serve as the commander of the fleet. Annihilation of a main fleet is a huge contribution and can promote a one-star general to a two-star general.
The promotion of an officer has a strict calculation method. The higher the level, the harder it is to be promoted. Especially after the military rank is at the general, unless you make great contributions to the country, you can only exchange military merits.
If you only have the qualifications, except for becoming the Minister of the Military Department, you can only get to the two-star general (the commander of the military region and the chief of staff) at most.
After the Patriotic War ended fifty years ago, there was no other three-star general.
"What if the other party does not have any military rank?" the Minister of Finance continued.
"This..." The president was a little unsure, "This was indeed no precedent before." He turned to look at the first man on his right and asked, "Mr. Marshal, what do you think?"
Due to some historical reasons, the president does not hold military power. Although nominally, the military headquarters is controlled by the Presidential Office. In fact, the military headquarters is completely independent, not only has its own personnel and administrative power, but also its own small treasury. The Presidential Office cannot reach out to the point.
In normal times, the position of the military minister is above other departments, and is vaguely on par with the president.
What's more, it is now during the war. According to the Supreme Constitution of the Davao Republic, once a war occurs, the military minister will automatically be upgraded to a marshal and command the entire country's army.
In the newly formed temporary combat department, the marshal was given the order. He, as the president, has become the Minister of Logistics. All the materials and personnel required for the war must be organized and mobilized.
The Minister of the Military Department, the current Marshal of the War, is also Yang Yunrong's uncle, and represents the Yang family. He is not familiar with the name Zhong Yun at all.
The first thing I heard about this name was from the words of his wife and brother whom he hadn't seen in twenty years. His wife and brother came to ask him for a place to participate in the Youth Sports Competition.
The second time I heard it was mentioned by his niece who didn't care about anything. She had never contacted his niece on her own initiative and called for a man named Zhong Yun for the first time.
And obviously, these two Zhong Yun are the same person.
This made him interested in the boy named Zhong Yun. During a chat, he inadvertently asked his smart nephew and realized that his niece was in love with Zhong Yun.
This made him even more interested in Zhong Yun. He knew very well that his niece was so indifferent that he had almost no feelings. He wanted to see the man she liked.
Unfortunately, he didn't have this opportunity. He received the news of the Tongguang Star crash within a few days, which made him feel regretful for his niece. The indifferent niece can fall in love like a normal girl, and their relatives are happy to see it.
Half a year later, he was really shocked when he heard that Zhong Yun was back safely. It was completely different from Zhang Xiao. Zhong Yun jumped out of thin air, which was so weird that it was unbelievable.
Although he explained later, he always felt that he was hiding something, and judging from Zhong Yun's resume, there were too many unreasonable things. A young man who had an IQ test in middle school had only level E to level S in just three years. This is no longer a miracle.
If it weren't for his niece, he would have asked someone to check Zhong Yun's background.
These thoughts only flashed through his mind. He felt dozens of needle-like gazes staying on him. After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Your Excellency the President..."
