Cang Long has never doubted the capabilities of Chinese soldiers, but after the negotiation with Li Ruomo collapsed, he felt that his idea was really a fantasy in this country.
China is very different from the United States in many places. The biggest root cause is the anti-foreign mentality that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The idea that people who are not of our own race must be different is almost ingrained in the minds of most people. In the United States, there is no such special
The difference is that in the United States, a black man can openly say that he is an American, and they do not even miss his hometown of Africa.
Many people will think that they are traitors, but Canglong thinks that is not the case. If one day in China, a dark-skinned Chinese black man can openly say that he is a Chinese, then this country will become truly strong.
China's biggest advantage is not its population, but its culture. When a person with black or white skin who grew up in China completely identifies with Chinese culture, they will also fight for this country. But to Canglong's dismay,
From the inside out, most people in China do not agree that people of different skin colors will be loyal to this country.
However, they have forgotten one thing. When a yellow-skinned Chinese special forces soldier goes to perform tasks abroad, there will be great risks. And in China's special departments and special forces that perform special tasks, this is exactly what is needed.
Chinese people of different skin colors.
However, Canglong quickly gave up this idea. In the car going to the hotel, Canglong felt that although Li Ruomo was confident that he could delegate power to him, he would not delegate it to such an extent.
If Li Ruomo is willing, he can even help her train a B-team with different skin colors within a few months. This B-team can be qualified for any mission. No matter which country they go to perform the mission, their skin color is the best.
In disguise, no one would think they would be Chinese special forces.
However, this has nothing to do with ability. Even if it is in front of him, Li Ruomo bites his tongue and refuses to let go.
At this point, Cang Long couldn't possibly convince Li Ruomo, just like he couldn't convince the ordinary people. No Chinese would believe that a person with a different skin color would protect their country. No...
After Cang Long left, Li Ruomo was also thinking about the problem just now. She refused to let go because everyone would doubt the loyalty of Team B with different skin colors. This was a trouble she didn't want to face.
She also understood the benefits of doing so, but it was impossible.
After completely closing this temporary office, Li Ruomo came to Shanghai, a place known as the Magic City, and established the headquarters of her 15th Military Intelligence Bureau. This is a building that looks like a foreign production factory, and the interior has been
After a complete transformation, the Special Forces equipment that was previously at the Lanzhou base in China was secretly transported here. Now the only ones left there are the garrison personnel of the Second Artillery Corps.
The moment Teko was disbanded, it became synonymous with history.
The first thing Li Ruomo did when he returned to the headquarters was not to deal with the intelligence at hand, but to ask Wang Xiaoyu, the head of the Information Department, to send all the information on foreigners born and raised in China to his office.
This efficiency was very fast. It took Wang Xiaoyu less than ten minutes to find all the information, and Li Ruomo immediately started checking it.
In mainland China, statistics show that the actual number of people is less than 10,000, and they all have Chinese nationality. These people do have different skin colors, most of them are white, slightly less black, and the rest are Southeast Asian skin.
But what surprised Li Ruomo was that in Macau and Hong Kong alone, there were more than 10,000 people of different skin colors who were born and raised in China and became Chinese nationals.
This data does not include Taiwan, but the data shows that except for the skin color of such people in China, their Mandarin is no different from the average Chinese.
In mainland China, most of the people of different skin colors came here during the Anti-Japanese War and finally stayed in China. Some of them have been living together for generations and are completely familiar with Chinese culture. Apart from their skin color, they are almost
There is no difference from ordinary Chinese people.
However, Li Ruomo searched for a long time but did not find anyone with different skin colors joining the Chinese army. This was not because they were unwilling, but because of some degree of separation.
The most important thing is that the conditions for becoming a soldier are very harsh now. The chance of passing without giving some gifts is frighteningly low. Many rural people are basically not qualified to be soldiers, let alone those with different skin colors. Of course, with high academic qualifications, it seems that they have become
Popular.
Seeing this information, Li Ruomo was confused. She didn't understand why Canglong would think this way. Even if she really relented, could Canglong choose the person he wanted from these rare Chinese people of different skin colors? So what?
How about training them in a short period of time to become a support team that can become the American B team?
"It's hard, it's as hard as climbing to the sky!" Li Ruomo shook her head and gave up all thoughts, and finally concentrated on processing her information. As for the matter of Team B, she was not in a hurry because she could always come up with a way.
The important thing is for the 15th Military Intelligence Bureau to gain a firm foothold.
After Canglong left the temporary office, the first thing he did was not to go to the hotel to find Maryam and Wang Xiaojie, but to take a taxi to the direction of the Forbidden City.
Of course, he was not visiting China's former imperial palace. He was visiting Nanchizi Street next to the Forbidden City.
In Beijing, Nanchizi is a special place. It was a forbidden area for the royal family in the past. From here, you can see the street with the corner towers of the Forbidden City. It is spacious and sunny.
There is no lively commercial atmosphere. High-end restaurants all have small signs in front of the door. They are in Chinese and English, and there are many foreign customers. The coffee shop also has no obvious signboard. There are not many customers, but they all stay for a long time. The doors are closed.
Business seems to be a habit.
If you want to say what is the most famous thing in Beijing? Many people may say places such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, but Canglong thinks that the most famous ones here should be the alleys that intersect and connect the alleys, and the courtyards that connect the alleys, and almost all the courtyards in Nanchizi Street are
There is a reason for this, because the most senior officials in Beijing live here.
Walking all the way from the bustling Chang'an Street to this place, Cang Long followed the house numbers and found that no antiquities could attract his attention, because most of the things here were renovated and did not have the original flavor of antiquity. Of course,
, if it had not been renovated, it would probably be of little value even if it had been preserved to this day.
The only thing that attracted his attention was the ubiquitous plainclothes people. They all seemed to be very skilled. They were pretending to be ordinary people and wandering around. Their acting skills were so good that ordinary people would never be able to tell. But if they were Canglong, they would look at them at a glance.
You can find seven or eight loopholes in them. Whether it is their walking posture, their vague eyes, or their expressions, it is not something that ordinary people without training can imitate.
His arrival also attracted the attention of these people, but he didn't care and went directly to his destination.
So, in less than a few minutes, seven or eight skilled plainclothes men were following behind him. They kept changing their positions, as if they wanted to find out the purpose of Canglong's visit.
In the end, Canglong simply stopped next to an ancient building. Among his many information, he found the origin of this building, Huang Shicheng.
Not many people can tell the purpose of this mysterious high red wall.
"хом" refers to the room used for collecting books in ancient times, and this is the archives established by the royal families of the Ming and Qing dynasties to preserve their royal history. It has a history of four to five hundred years. This royal archives is different from other ancient
What's special about the building is that it is entirely built of bricks and stones, without a single piece of wood or metal, so it is both fireproof and sturdy and durable. There are still more than a dozen households living in Huangshichennan Courtyard, which looks out of place next to the towering monuments. But
This is actually the characteristic of Nanchizi Street, where new images of the times coexist with traditional markets, and both are indispensable.
Canglong paused for a while before continuing to move forward. The plainclothes men behind him naturally followed. When he came to the door of a courtyard, Canglong saw from the mirror material that they were obviously nervous, but he didn't notice at all.
Without hesitation, he picked up the brass ring on the door and knocked on it.
Unsurprisingly, the plainclothes man behind him finally couldn't help but came over, but he didn't care.
"What are you doing..." a plainclothes voice asked from behind.
Canglong didn't answer, because the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit opened the door. He looked at Canglong with a bit of surprise on his face, and after a while he said, "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Canglong said calmly.
"Come in." The middle-aged man seemed reluctant to let Canglong in, but he asked him helplessly. After Canglong walked in, he signaled with his eyes to the plainclothes men who came over, then closed the door and the plainclothes
He relaxed his vigilance and went on his own patrol.
Walking into the courtyard, Canglong felt a style that was completely different from the outside world. There was no modern activity area, only an unbelievable tranquility that seemed to have been hidden from the world for a long time.
Old Beijing attaches great importance to the twenty-four solar terms, and pays attention to the work and life of the year according to the solar terms. This courtyard keeps this in mind. The names of the solar terms written on rice paper can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, such as the Spring Equinox, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming, and Guyu.
.
In the yard, Canglong saw a little girl watering the flowers with a kettle. She seemed to feel something keenly, and suddenly turned her head to look at Canglong who was walking over.
So, she put down the kettle without hesitation, trotted over, hugged Canglong's legs, raised her head and said affectionately: "Brother, why are you here?"
"Come to see you." Canglong smiled.
This little girl is Wanwan who returned home. No one would have thought that the little princess of Longteng International did not live in any luxurious villa, but lived in such an ordinary courtyard house from the outside, and this is where Wanwan was.
Wan told him his Beijing address.
"Brother, let's go to the living room, and Wanwan will make tea for you." Wanwan excitedly took Canglong's hand and walked towards the living room.
But the middle-aged housekeeper behind him had a very bad expression, because he didn't like Canglong very much, so he didn't care if he was elsewhere, and even came to his house today...
