Chapter 723: Secret Mission (1)
Not long after, the nanny brought a table of dishes to the table. No. 1 has been single all his life, never got married, and devoted himself to the army all his life.
"Come and try this wine, it's a special offer, but it's a bit intense. I haven't drunk it for a long time." No. 1 personally poured a glass of wine for Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian and No. 1 had to say that the wine tasted good.
"Lone Wolf, I roughly know all the things you did in society after you retired from the army. I have said a long time ago that you are the king of soldiers in the army, and you are not bad in society. In just a few years, you have become a big boss and your assets are over 100 million, right?" No. 1 said while drinking.
"I actually don't care about money, but so many employees under my command are following me and creating a better life for them, so I have to keep busy with the company's affairs. If it's just me, I hope to be a very ordinary person quietly."
"Average people? Are you like ordinary people? Lone wolf. Some people are born to be destined to be ordinary, just like you, so you will die. The greater the ability a person has, the greater the responsibility, the greater the things they need to do, so it is destined that you cannot be an ordinary person. Speaking of this, I have to criticize you boy. Tell me what is going on with your daughter Dongsheng? Why did you divorce him after you got married? What are you doing? Are you doing this?
Ye Lingtian looked at No. 1 in surprise, and then said, "No. 1, this matter is very complicated, and I don't want to do this, but... things can't be explained clearly in one sentence or two sentences."
"I know, I know that you kid is not an irresponsible person. There must be a reason for divorce. But you kid is over thirty years old. Are you going to be a bachelor's life like me? Look at me now, I am almost seventy years old, and I am still alone. Do you think this kind of life is good? There are so many girls around you, why can't you live with others? It's so shameful to say that, the proud disciple I taught can't even marry a wife. How can you meet people in the future?"
"I think so, but marriage is not that simple." Ye Lingtian was a little amused and crying.
"How troublesome can marriage be? Get married when you see each other, get married and have children, how big is it? Forget it, I, a lonely old man, can't tell you this, I have no confidence in what I say, let's not talk about this anymore, come and have another drink, your kid's alcohol content is not small at all."
"No. 1, just say it, what is the reason for coming to find me today?" Ye Lingtian drank another glass of wine and said as he looked at No. 1.
"What's wrong? I can't talk to you about the past?"
"You don't have such a personality. If you were just trying to find me to reminisce about the past, you would have been looking for it long ago. And not everyone can come in this place. You have even investigated my coming to Beijing. You specially sent a car to pick me up here, obviously it wouldn't be as simple as wanting to reminisce about the past. Let's talk, what's the matter?" Ye Lingtian said bluntly.
"You kid is still so logical and thinking. Indeed, there is something to do when you are looking for you. To be precise, I want to ask you for help. The army and the country want to ask you for help." No. 1 said lightly after taking a sip of wine slowly.
Hearing this, Ye Lingtian widened his eyes and looked at No. 1, he said after a while: "But I have been discharged from the army, and I am just an ordinary citizen now."
"What's wrong with you being a soldier? As long as you have been a soldier for one day, you will be a soldier for the rest of your life. If you stay in my hands for one day, you will be my soldier for the rest of your life. The common people are also a member of the country. What's wrong? You want to refuse before you even said what's going on?"
"I didn't say I wanted to refuse, I just said that I'm just an ordinary citizen now, and I don't know what I can do for the army and the country."
"I'll tell you something before I talk about these things. There are only eleven people in your team now."
"Eleven? What's going on? Why are there only so many people?" Ye Lingtian was surprised.
"The international situation in recent years is very complicated. You will know after reading the news. In addition, as our country becomes stronger and stronger, the erosion of the ground forces on us has become more and more arrogant. Therefore, there have been many battles in the past two years and are very fierce. Correspondingly, the combat reduction is very serious. In addition, your departure has led to a decline in the command ability of this team, and this situation is inevitable." No. 1 said after sighing.
After hearing No. 1's words, Ye Lingtian fell into silence. No. 1's words mean that people were dead, and many people died. This sentence made Ye Lingtian a little unacceptable. There were more than 40 people wrong. After only a few years, there were only a dozen people left. These are brothers who fought side by side with Ye Lingtian. Although life and death are just commonplace for them, their feelings cannot be erased. When they hear this news, no one can face it calmly.
Ye Lingtian drank it in one sip with the wine, without saying too much.
"A big thing happened at the beginning of this year." No. 1 continued.
"What's up?".
"I can't tell you what specific things. I can only tell you that our team made mistakes in a battle, and that was caught by a certain country, which proved that it was our actions and there was conclusive evidence. This made our country very passive when facing a certain country, and had a great impact on diplomacy. The country suffered a great loss in order to make up for the impact of this matter. At the same time, it also made our team public completely. Therefore, after research and discussion by the Military Commission and various aspects, we finally had to decide to abolish the team. In the future, the military will no longer be responsible for these things. At least the official will no longer do such secret things." No. 1 said heavy.
"What? Revoke? Why should we revoke? Why should we revoke? How many contributions did our troops make? How much sacrifices did we make? How could we revoke it just by saying it was revoked?" Ye Lingtian immediately stopped and stood up and slapped the table and said.
"Sit down for me, are these words you should say? This is the decision of the Military Commission. Can you say so? Do you don't even know the basic discipline? What is the responsibility of a soldier? The responsibility of a soldier is to obey orders. Do you know if you obey any orders?" No. 1 glared at Ye Lingtian and said coldly.
