Chapter 423 Conversation after the Celebration Banquet
The peacekeeping camp held a celebration banquet.
The people who quickly counterattack are the protagonists, while Hou Jun and Li Zheng are the protagonists among the protagonists, and they are the focus of everyone's attention.
After the mayor of J City heard about the deeds of the two Chinese peacekeeping soldiers, he formed a condolence group with the local people and drove a truck to deliver five sheep to express condolences.
The mayor's name is Diallo, an old man in his sixties.
Why is the old man satisfied with the people in the Chinese peacekeeping camp?
The truth is practical and simple. The locals are not stupid. Anyone who comes to help them for free or who comes because they covet the interests here will know who they are.
When the old man sent the sheep over, they had a small talk. During the dinner, he mentioned a small thing, which really moved him very much.
In fact, it's really a small matter.
The road in front of one of the schools in City J was severely damaged, with potholes everywhere, and the asphalt everywhere was old, cracked, and ground into slag. Because of the turmoil, no one cared about it. It was a little more stable. The mayor wanted to repair the road, but he had no money.
So he looked for several places.
The first person to go was the United L Group, but they received him politely and nothing happened after that.
In desperation, he went to find the Gauls again.
The Gauls were even more unreliable than the United L Regiment. After sitting down and talking with him for a long time, in the end he shook his head like a rattle and said no repeatedly.
He also told Dialro that their funds were earmarked and could not be used for other purposes.
This made Dialro very angry.
Yes, there is money to garrison troops and fight militants here, and the little money spent on road construction is said to be earmarked. This means that there is no shortage of money for fighting, but there is no money for road construction.
He wanted to try his luck in other peacekeeping camps, but the reasons for peacekeeping camps in European countries were almost the same as those of Gallic chickens - they didn't have the funds.
Apart from Gallic Chicken and these European peacekeeping camps, the only remaining peacekeeping camps sent by African countries are.
But he didn't look for Diallo.
The reason for not looking for them is also very simple. They are all just scraping for food on this land. Who knows what their situation is like?
Take country W as an example. It was also the site of genocide in the early years. It has just calmed down in the past few years. Although its development momentum is good, it is still poor after all. Asking them to build roads is equivalent to asking beggars to give alms. It is not
No, it's very difficult.
Fortunately, just when Diallo was desperate, the Chinese peacekeeping troops arrived.
So the old mayor decided to come and try his luck with the peacekeeping troops of these big Eastern countries.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese peacekeeping camp welcomed him warmly without saying anything. Hearing that it was the road in front of the school, he agreed without saying a word.
Diallo was very surprised when he got the answer he wanted because it went so smoothly.
So he emphasized the length of that stretch of road, and then carefully asked the Chinese: "Do you have the funds?"
Xia Zhiguo’s answer was: “If you have difficulties, you need to help solve them. If there are no difficulties, you need to help with the icing on the cake. You don’t need to worry about funding. Education is the foundation of a country. We in China were once poor and weak, and we understand this deeply, so Mr.
Don't worry, leave the road matters to our engineering detachment, that's what we do."
After saying this, the old mayor almost burst into tears on the spot.
What is friendship?
This is called friendship!
This time, the Chinese peacekeeping camp actually saved a villager's name on their way to a medical inspection. Of course Diallo couldn't sit still and wanted to visit him to offer condolences.
Five sheep are really not a valuable gift in China.
But in J City, it is a heavy trust.
Li Zheng was surprised when he saw the mayor for the first time, because he felt that J City's finances were so tight that they couldn't even spend money to build roads.
When we saw Diallo, we found that although the old man was sixty years old, he looked like a forty-year-old man, energetic and majestic.
What puzzled Li Zheng the most was that Diallo was wearing gold and silver, with a large gold chain hanging around his neck, large gold bracelets on his hands, and ten fingers covered with silver rings of different craftsmanship.
What?
poverty?
It doesn’t look like it!
This caused a lot of discussion among the soldiers in the camp at that time. They felt that the mayor was really pretending to be poor, like the abbot of a poor temple and a rich man.
As a result, I learned the truth later from Grandpa Boomer.
The reason why the locals respect the mayor very much is because he is indeed a successful businessman. No matter how poor the place is, there are successful people.
Diallo is the kind of crane among the chickens. He owns nine hotels across country L and has other mining businesses.
It stands to reason that he is very rich, but all the profits from his business are donated to the government to repair infrastructure destroyed by the war and to support education, so even if you look at him wearing gold and silver, there is nothing in his pocket.
There is really not much liquidity.
Of course we cannot afford to build roads.
Diallo's story shocked Li Zheng greatly.
Who would have thought that in a country like Africa, which has experienced years of turmoil, hunger, and wars, there would be such patriotic people from Akagi.
It can be seen that the love for the motherland is not only exclusive to the Chinese people. In other places, even in economically backward and poor places, there are such characters who live as pure as if they came out of a fairy tale.
The banquet still takes the form of a buffet. After all, you not only have to take care of yourself, but also take into account the hospitality of guests. This is the tradition of the Chinese etiquette country.
During the dinner, Dialro came over with a translator and found Li Zheng and Hou Jun. He grabbed their hands and thanked them, shaking them like a hand-cranked generator, praising them as their J-city.
's great hero.
The atmosphere of the whole banquet was very harmonious, Lieutenant Frank and Colonel Alfonso also came.
This time, the Gauls' eyes were less arrogant and more respectful.
That night, Li Zheng had the sweetest sleep he had ever had in Country L. He felt physically and mentally relaxed, and the joy of being able to save Bulma was something that no amount of money could buy.
But what he didn't know was that after the banquet, Xia Zhiguo, the deputy commander, Wang Donghe, the leader of the security team, and Li Li, the leader of the medical team, bumped into each other in the office.
The theme of the meeting is simple.
Regarding the relationship between Shao Xiaoqian and Li Zheng, is it necessary to clarify? If it is clarified and confirmed, should some appropriate treatment be carried out.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, in the eyes of many people who have never been in the army, as long as the relationship between men and women is not illegal and as long as you are in love with me, everything will go smoothly.
It's natural and no one can control it.
But in the army, there is an additional bottom line in this regard-military regulations.
In fact, not only the military, but also all disciplinary units and political and legal units also have relevant avoidance rules.
Because in order to avoid a catastrophic outcome due to special relationships during the execution process, it is better to nip it in the bud and not even give it a chance.
Although the love relationship between Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian was established before they joined the army, it is not against the rules. It is just that if the two parties are in this kind of relationship and they are put in the same unit to perform tasks at the same time, it will not work.
This is to be avoided.
The meeting was discussed until the end, and various considerations were raised.
For example, Han Jiangyuan asked, now that Li Zheng is the person who has just made meritorious deeds, is it appropriate to talk to him, or should we wait for a while before talking to him.
Wang Donghe, the captain of the guard unit, has a different view. Of course, it is impossible to wait for a while. The peacekeeping battalion does not know what emergencies it will face every day. Many times, the medical unit and the guard unit operate together, like what happened in Sambu Village this time.
What should I do if it suddenly breaks out?
Do we have to wait until a problem actually occurs before we deal with it? It is better to nip it in the bud and nip all signs of accidents in the bud. This is truly thinking about Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian and truly helping them.
It was very difficult for Li Li to be sandwiched between Han Jiangyuan and Wang Hedong.
Of course she also knew that Shao Xiaoqian was a good soldier, familiar with the medical profession, and was in the special operations class with combat capabilities. Where could she find such a nurse? She would be perfect for working in the medical team of a peacekeeping camp.
But she also thought that what Wang Donghe said was reasonable. Because she liked this girl very much and knew that she was the chief's daughter, she should avoid things happening out of love.
Some things are not just because you think he is fine, because if something happens, no one can say for sure.
Just like after the explosion in Sangbu Village, Shao Xiaoqian lost her mind and rushed into the village to find Li Zheng like crazy.
At that time, there were safety risks everywhere in the village. If Shen Jun and the others hadn't stopped them, and they had actually run in and accidentally stepped on an unexploded landmine, or triggered something else, the consequences would have been catastrophic.
After listening to the opinions of Wang Donghe and Han Jiangyuan, Xia Zhiguo finally asked Li Li: "Captain Li, Shao Xiaoqian works in your team. I want to know what you think of this matter."
Li Li adjusted her glasses and thought for a while. After a fierce ideological struggle, she made the most difficult decision: "I think we can talk, sooner rather than later."
That's how things seemed to be settled.
The next day, Shao Xiaoqian was called into Xia Zhiguo's office. When she came out, her eyes were red.
She remembered what Xia Zhiguo said to her in the office: "I approve that you go find Li Zheng once and have a good talk. You still have a long way to go. As long as our love lasts, how can we live together day and night?"
These slightly poetic words always have a bit of a weird flavor when spoken from the mouth of a rough man like Xia Zhiguo.
Shao Xiaoqian did not insist on staying. As a child of a chief and a family, she understood better what her identity meant.
This kind of big boys are actually different from what many people imagine. They are often at two extremes, either great or terrible, and Shao Xiaoqian is the former.
She did not cry, move out from her father's house, or call her parents privately. Instead, after Xia Zhiguo explained her reasons, she reflected on her previous behavior and expressed that she accepted the arrangement of her superiors.
Shao Xiaoqian's open-mindedness relieved Xia Zhiguo. If Shao Xiaoqian was really unreasonable and regarded discipline as nothing, using her status to suppress others, Xia Zhiguo would feel less pressured and would make decisions with confidence.
But Shao Xiaoqian is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. She even said that she was not only simply observing discipline, but also doing it for Li Zheng.
Xia Zhiguo understood that if she insisted on staying, it would be equivalent to destroying Li Zheng.
At that moment, he almost softened his heart and thought about staying and observing for a while before talking.
But soon, this idea was denied by myself.
If the relationship between Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian is made public without any avoidance, then which of the hundreds of people who are far away from their loved ones and lovers are performing arduous tasks here in the face of the scorching sun above their heads?
No one can claim specialization.
The Chinese military has essentially been a military armed force that has always followed the consensus of officers and soldiers.
Shao Xiaoqian came out of Xia Zhiguo's office to find Li Zheng. When he saw Shao Xiaoqian appearing at the door of his row house, Li Zheng's jaw almost dropped.
He thought that Shao Xiaoqian was emotionally uncontrollable because of the previous incident in Sangbu Village, but it was taboo to do so. He knew that she also knew that they had agreed to keep this secret secret.
Today was a good day, I actually went directly to the male soldier platoon to find me.
"you……"
Li Zheng froze on the spot like a clay statue.
Fatty Wei next to him observed his words and knew that he could no longer stay in this place, so he called to other comrades: "Let's go for a walk. Go to the vendor at the door to buy some Coke. I'll treat you."
Buying a Coke is just an excuse.
Everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts, and they all stood up to agree, and quickly disappeared outside the door.
The row room was quiet, except for Shao Xiaoqian at the door and Li Zheng sitting by the bed inside. You looked at me and I looked at you, with thousands of words in my eyes.
