Ling Cang said expressionlessly: "Okay, I admit, I do have some ability."
"My subordinate is an elite from the special forces. He didn't even take three moves in front of you, and he even became incontinent..." Tong Zhengrong felt quite embarrassed when he said this, and his face turned red:
"This shows that your ability has reached a relatively high level."
"Thank you for the compliment." After a pause, Ling Cang suddenly said: "Don't talk about me, talk about you and Uncle Zhang. You two should be comrades in arms. How did you lose contact later? Also, do you know about Uncle Zhang?"
Who is my wife?”
"Between us..." Tong Zhengrong sighed, shook his head slightly, and was silent for a while before slowly explaining everything.
Tong Zhengrong came from a military family. When the self-defense counterattack broke out, he was serving as the commander of the artillery regiment of a certain ace group. The Tong family has always produced tiger generals, and Tong Zhengrong was no exception. He took the initiative to fight on the front line.
He spent the most difficult period of the war there.
At that time, the small Southeast Asian country that provoked the Chinese Empire was good at tunnel warfare. After occupying the territory, it built various civil fortifications in rows and rows. The Z army originally started with tunnel warfare, but it never had the opportunity to fight in tunnels. In addition, it had not fought in tunnels for many years.
They lacked sufficient experience and means to deal with this situation, and as a result, the blood of many martyrs was shed in front of the enemy's tunnels.
Later, the soldiers were so angry that they went up to fight with the enemy with bayonets. The artillery's so-called "bayonet fights" did not really engage in hand-to-hand combat, but pushed the large-caliber artillery to the front line and flattened the gun body to attack the enemy's fortifications.
Direct shot at close range.
Under normal circumstances, large-caliber artillery is used to carry out long-distance attacks. This method of attack is really life-threatening. Although it is very powerful, it is also very dangerous. So once, Tong Zhengrong went into battle to shoot in person, and was shot by an opponent's sniper.
Targeted.
Zhang Chaohua was the platoon leader at the time and was right next to Tong Zhengrong. He sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped on Tong Zhengrong. As a result, Tong Zhengrong was not injured, but Zhang Chaohua was hit by three bullets.
After all-out rescue efforts from the rear hospital, Zhang Chaohua's life was finally saved, but he also became seriously ill. Considering that Zhang Chaohua's physical condition could no longer be used on the front line, Tong Zhengrong transferred him to the logistics department.
Zhang Chaohua is a very talented person, and he loves what he does. He not only manages the logistics in an orderly manner, but also has good cooking skills. Zhang Chaohua has always done the work personally, such as receiving inspections from superior leaders.
Later, Zhang Chaohua changed his career, and Tong Zhengrong used all his connections to arrange for Zhang Chaohua to be a middle-level leader in the best company in his hometown.
The world has changed, and many things have made people laughable. Don't look at it now. Everyone is rushing to be a civil servant, and the number of applicants has hit a new high every year. But in Zhang Chaohua's time, no one wanted to be a civil servant. Everyone wanted to join a company because they made more money.
For example, traffic policemen were scolded as street pickets back then. They were a profession that was looked down upon by others, and it was difficult to even find a partner.
But after a few years, everything took a 180-degree turn. Civil servants became the most popular people, and corporate workers became stinky shit. Don't spend more than ten or two hundred thousand to become a traffic policeman.
Zhang Chaohua was not exempt from the mundane, and he took the initiative to join the company. To a certain extent, today's predicament was caused by his choice at that time. A few years later, around the time Zhang Yiting was born, the company went bankrupt due to poor management.
All the workers were laid off, but the leaders had huge pockets and all emigrated abroad. Unfortunately, Zhang Chaohua was an upright man and had no means of making money. As a result, as a middle-level cadre, he ended up with the same fate as ordinary workers.
Correspondingly, Tong Zhengrong rose all the way up and became more capable. The Tong family was already very powerful in the military world, and with Tong Zhengrong's outstanding military exploits, the speed of improvement was a miracle.
Tong Zhengrong never forgot Zhang Chaohua and wanted to arrange another unit for Zhang Chaohua. However, Zhang Chaohua left his hometown and Tong Zhengrong was never found again.
Zhang Chaohua is a very strong person and does not want to trouble others again and again, so he refuses Tong Zhengrong's help in this way.
Over the years, the domestic household registration management system has become increasingly loose. In such a huge country and with a huge sea of people, it is very difficult to find someone. Zhang Chaohua is not a wanted criminal on the run, and Tong Zhengrong cannot use strong means to trace him, so the two are cut off from each other.
It's been many years, and we didn't meet again until today.
When talking about Zhang Chaohua, of course we have to talk about Chen Huifen. Zhang Chaohua’s hometown is a small county under Minghai rule. One year when he went home to visit relatives, Zhang Chaohua met Chen Huifen by chance, and they got married soon after.
Tong Zhengrong had met Chen Huifen twice, and his impression was not very good. But since Zhang Chaohua liked this woman, Tong Zhengrong didn't say anything. And it turned out that Tong Zhengrong was a better judge of people than Zhang Chaohua, who had admired Chen Huifen when he was young.
She was beautiful and lively, but ended up marrying a fierce woman.
Chen Huifen felt that Zhang Chaohua was a soldier and felt very majestic around her. Later, Zhang Chaohua transferred to a good unit and made a lot of money, and she was very satisfied. But later, Zhang Chaohua's situation deteriorated, and she looked down on her. In addition, she
The more people I met and the things I saw, the greed and materialistic desires hidden deep in my heart gradually emerged, and I felt more and more incompetent about my husband.
If Zhang Chaohua often showed off: "The commander I saved is now a division commander, a corps commander, a military region commander...a member of the Military Commission." Chen Huifen could still look good. But Zhang Chaohua didn't, so cold violence would
It has become a common occurrence, and it often escalates into thermal violence.
Tong Zhengrong also had a conversation with Zhang Chaohua after they reunited, and then he learned everything that had happened over the years. After Tong Zhengrong finished speaking, he sighed: "Hey, I'm sorry for this savior, I made him eat so much.
bitter……"
"I don't think so."
"What do you mean?"
"Since Uncle Zhang is willing to rely on himself, he will be happy no matter how his life goes. If he accepts your help, he may make a lot of money and become a great official, but he will have incomprehensible problems.
Knot."
"That makes sense." Tong Zhengrong looked at Ling Cang and nodded approvingly: "I didn't expect you to have such insight at such a young age. It's not easy! They say that when you are three years old, you can see how old you are.
With these words, I bet you will become a great person in the future!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Ling Cang chuckled, feeling that these words were still very useful: "I already know everything I want to know. Now let's talk about our affairs. Isn't this also the purpose of you looking for me!"
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush and tell you directly." Tong Zhengrong looked directly at Ling Cang and said slowly: "I have a group of superpowers under me, but none of them has your ability. I should say
, your ability is very rare, and we have only heard of it so far, so I very much hope that you can serve the country."
"I study hard to serve the country. As for other things... let's wait until I grow up."
"This has nothing to do with age. The youngest of my men is only eleven years old. Special things need to be handled specially." Tong Zhengrong obviously regarded Ling Cang as an ordinary high school student and acted like a good and benevolent man.
Get up: "I have a special force under me, all composed of superpowers. After you join, you will be directly led by me. You are considered a formal national soldier and have privileges when dealing with certain incidents. Not only can you
After you receive a hefty salary and your files are directly entered into the General Staff Office, your seniority calculation begins that year. After graduation, you can choose to dress openly and engage in some education and research work. You can also be assigned to other departments or institutions.
Choose to keep your identity secret and receive double salary at the same time. In addition, you will receive various benefits according to your level and length of service, such as medical insurance, allocated housing, etc. Oh, by the way, you still have many people who go abroad.
Chance……"
In China, joining the army is equivalent to solving a package of problems. If you have enough rank, you can even protect future generations. It can also be said that the army is responsible for everything except not giving out wives. Considering that being a soldier has some privileges, it is really
There is nothing more satisfying than being a public servant.
However, these are not attractive to Ling Cang. Thinking that his father left a large inheritance for him to inherit, Shenma medical insurance, and housing allocation are all clouds. More importantly, joining the army means that from now on, all words and deeds must obey the orders of superiors.
, and you lose your freedom.
Ling Cang had no doubt that even if he raped a school belle or broke Bai Youwen's leg, Tong Zhengrong would find a way to deal with it. But nothing can replace the value of freedom, not even privileges. Although it is likely to be necessary in the future.
Facing a strong opponent like Bai Youwen again, Ling Cang could only rely on himself.
So Ling Cang interrupted Tong Zhengrong without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested. Please stop talking. If you say any more, it will be like leaking the secret."
"You don't agree?" Tong Zhengrong was a little surprised: "Why?"
"Because I'm not patriotic."
"What?" Tong Zhengrong didn't expect Ling Cang to say such an answer. He jumped up, hit his head and sat down again: "Patriotism is the obligation of every citizen, how can you say
What do you say? Do you still have a conscience? If I hadn't brought a gun today, I would have killed you with a bullet!"
"I really want to be patriotic, but the country doesn't love me."
"You said, why doesn't the country love you anymore? Isn't it enough to raise you so well and let you go to school?"
"Every penny I have spent since I was a child was earned by other people's hard work. I don't understand what it has to do with the country. We don't owe the country anything. On the contrary, we pay taxes to the country... Of course, I haven't
We have to pay it, but we will pay it sooner or later in the future, and our country’s tax burden is among the best in the world. Everything the country has depends on taxpayers, how can we say that the country eats the country and drinks the country’s money?”
"You..." No one had ever dared to say such a thing to him. For a moment, Tong Zhengrong didn't know how to refute: "You are an orphan, right? Then who do you think raised you?"
"Forget it, I'm talking nonsense, General Tong, don't mind..." Ling Cang looked at Tong Zhengrong and said word by word: "It's all my fault that I drank too much Sanlu milk powder when I was a child... Did you still eat it?
Less waste oil, Sudan red, dichlorvos, etc... Although my fate was miserable, I was lucky enough not to be crushed to death in a crumbling school building."
"You..." Tong Zhengrong subconsciously touched his waist. If he had brought a gun, he might have killed Ling Cang on the spot.
Fortunately, he didn't bring a gun, so Ling Cang could continue to talk: "Okay, nothing happens, I'm leaving."
"you dare!"
Ling Cang didn't say whether he dared or not, but proved it with his actions and opened the car door directly. The car had stopped at the gate of the No. 1 Lieutenant Colonel. Just as Ling Cang was about to get out of the car, he suddenly turned around and said again: "General Tong,
You are already an octogenarian, but you are still working so hard for the country. It is really respectable."
“What is octogenarian age?”
"That's ten years old!"
Tong Zhengrong was so angry that his whole face turned red like a dried red Fuji: "Am I that old?"
"It turns out not... Then you look a little anxious."
"You..." Tong Zhengrong pointed to the distance: "Okay, I don't want to say anything to you anymore, just get out of here!"
When Ling Cang disappeared, a subordinate came over and reported softly: "Chief, we found it."
Tong Zhengrong calmed down and then ordered: "Speak."
"This Ling Cang should be using a special ability called the 'Forbidden Technique'. As you speculated before, it can weaken or enhance other people's abilities in certain aspects."
"This kind of power is so precious. Even if it is an inconspicuous power, as long as it is enhanced to a certain extent, it may be extremely powerful. On the contrary, even if you have the ability to be extremely powerful, you may not be as good as him in front of him.
An earthworm." Tong Zhengrong nodded slightly and asked, "Is there any other information?"
"No, our knowledge of this kind of superpower is very limited, because almost no one with superpowers has ever possessed it. This superpower can only be passed down by people in a certain family. It is said that every head of this family can
Get a treasure passed down from your ancestors, and then gain this ability."
"What family?" Tong Zhengrong frowned: "Why have I never heard of it?"
"We only know that it is the Ling family now, and we cannot know more about it. Because this family all immigrated abroad a long time ago, and took all their genealogy and other things with them. They have a huge business abroad.
He has great strength, but his style is very low-key and does not attract attention.”
"This Ling Cang comes from the Greater Khingan Mountains. How can he have anything to do with this Chinese family?"
"Is this..." The subordinate looked down at the information and replied: "The Ling family lived in the south of the Yangtze River for many generations before immigrating. They are a well-known local family. Not only does the family have a long history, but they have also produced many high-ranking officials and scholars... No matter how you look at it, you can't see it.
It seems to be related to the Greater Khingan Mountains."
