Liu Xiaoyong was so excited that every wrinkle on his face bloomed. He kept explaining to his children and grandchildren the use of shell guns and the essence of guerrilla warfare.
"The shell gun should be fired horizontally, and it will be a fan in one sweep... No matter where you go, find a way out first, and don't fight an uncertain battle. If it doesn't work, retreat, leaving the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood..." The old man said that he was a hundred years old.
After experiencing a fierce battle at an advanced age, not only did he not show any fear, but he was as energetic as a chicken.
"I haven't been in a war for many years. When the Korean War started, I asked to go to the battlefield, but the military district refused to let me go. Later, I transferred to another place and had no chance to contact the army or the barracks. So I cleaned my gun at home every day. I collected many guns.
, and the Japanese combat knives. Later, the country stopped allowing private individuals to hold guns, so they handed them all over, leaving only two guns. I guess they will be used sooner or later. Soldiers must have guns. If you don’t have guns, you are still called a soldier.
What?"
The old man was in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue. He was sitting in the back row wearing a military uniform with his back straight. This battle made the veteran rejuvenate.
An old man who lives alone spends his days tinkering with gunpowder and cleaning guns and knives. It’s interesting to think about it. My grandfather was born to be a soldier. During the Battle of Songhu, he fought fiercely with the Japanese for several days without leaving the firing line. The Battle of Northern Thailand was even more exhausting.
Showing his true qualities as a hero, although he is an officer who graduated from a regular military academy, he always rushes to the front in every battle, fighting with little Japanese bayonets. In his life, he has personally killed not one hundred but eighty Japanese.
When my grandfather was in his prime, he suffered a career disaster. In 55 years, he was only awarded a lieutenant colonel in the military rank. This was a knot that he could not untie for the rest of his life. He was not an uprising general, but an underground member who had long participated in the revolution.
The party has made great contributions to the peaceful liberation of Betai and Jiangdong Province. Not to mention giving it to a general, at least it should be promoted to a colonel. Many people with lower qualifications than him have been promoted to two bars and three stars. He is a
The deputy commander of the military division is only a small lieutenant colonel, obviously underqualified.
After this incident, Liu Xiaoyong was devastated. He filed a report in anger and applied for a job transfer. His superiors approved it without saying a word and assigned him to the Grain Bureau, where he still served as a deputy and became a deputy director. He would never have a chance to be with the army again for the rest of his life.
The old man loved the army and the life of an iron horse, but in peacetime, he could only raise flowers and vegetables and waste his time. If it weren't for his trouble-making grandson, he would probably never have the chance to go to the battlefield again until he died.
"What these bastards are doing, I am twenty years younger, and I can defeat them all by myself when I am eighty years old." Liu Xiaoyong's spirit became more and more high, "In terms of marksmanship, no one in the entire Jiangbei Military Division can catch up with me.
, Luo Kegong’s father was the later commander Luo Xiaohu. He was from the Eighth Route Army, and his quality was far inferior to mine. Of course, his party spirit was stronger than mine.”
The old man talked about the past with more and more enthusiasm. He Jian chatted with him. Liu Handong made two calls, first to Ma Ling to confirm their safety, and then to Luo Han to tell him what happened in the early morning.
"They have indeed taken action against you. It seems that I will take action too. Don't worry, I have evidence to keep you safe, but you have to hide for a while longer and wait for me to reveal the truth." Arhat said confidently.
After making the call, Liu Handong reported to his grandfather that he was safe. Liu Xiaoyong felt much more relaxed when he learned that his great-grandson was safe and sound. He continued chatting for a while and finally felt sleepy.
"Dongdong, He Jian, I'm going to sleep for a while, call me somewhere." The old man closed his eyes, and He Jian took his coat and covered him.
Liu Handong drove the car very steadily, for fear of disturbing his grandfather's rest. The Mercedes-Benz speeded on the highway, arrived at a service area, and got down to have lunch and use the toilet.
Liu Xiaoyong was still sleeping, not moving at all. Liu Handong felt something was wrong, so he called out to grandpa, but there was no response. When he stretched out his hand, he found that he was no longer breathing.
When He Jian came back from using the toilet, he saw Liu Handong's strange expression. He realized something, went up and touched his nose, and burst into tears.
"Uncle He, don't cry. Grandpa is a soldier. Soldiers bleed without shedding tears. He lived for a hundred years and fought a battle in the end. It was worth it." After Liu Handong finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted his sleeping grandfather.
He Jian also arranged his clothes and gave the old man a military salute.
…
At the Capital Airport, Luohan was preparing to board the plane. Suddenly, two men came to him and showed their IDs: "From the Central Security Bureau, please come with us."
The airport was heavily guarded and it was impossible to escape. Luo Han thought for a moment and decided to cooperate. He followed the two agents to an office of the airport security department. There was already a person sitting inside who looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him in the General Staff Building.
"Come in, sit down, and have a chat," the man said.
Luohan walked in and sat down across from each other. The two agents stayed outside and closed the door for them.
The man was about fifty years old, well-kept, dressed in casual clothes, and looked like a businessman, but Arhat knew that he was a soldier.
"Introduce yourself, Ye Tang, from the Second Department." The middle-aged man said.
The Arhat stood up, straightened his clothes, stood at attention and saluted.
He knew the name of Major General Ye Tang, who was a veteran in the intelligence department and was older than Xian Hui.
"Sit down, don't be restrained." Major General Ye Tang said, "Why are you going to the United States?"
"Performing a mission." Luo Han said, "I am now a member of the national security recovery team."
Ye Tang smiled: "Then what did you do in Lanzhou a few days ago?"
Luo Han was speechless. His every move was being monitored by the other party. He was worried that Ye Tang and Xian Hui were in the same group.
"We have been targeting Xian Hui for a long time." Ye Tang understood his doubts, "This matter is top secret. Since you have discovered it, I will also explain to you. It is related to the face of the intelligence department. You should not interfere in the future.
Alright, okay?"
Luo Han said: "Since Xian Hui is not dead, then Liu Handong was wronged and he must be rehabilitated."
Ye Tang said: "Liu Handong is a dangerous person and an out-of-control person. There is no need to rehabilitate him. Besides, he is not a member of the military. If he wants to be rehabilitated, he has to do it in Zhongyanhuang."
Luo Han said: "Xian Hui's accomplice is Yao Guang. Did you know that Yao Guang went to Jiangbei to kill Liu Handong, and Liu Handong is my man? If you don't care about it, don't blame me for being rude. You, Major General Ye, can't care about it even if you cover the sky with one hand."
Come to our country for safety."
Ye Tang smiled: "Ronald, your temper is getting worse. We have been monitoring Yao Guang for a long time. He is just a shrimp, not worth touching. What we want to deal with is the big tiger behind them, the big one in the army."
Tiger, you know."
Luo Han said: "I don't care about that. I want you to ensure Liu Handong's safety and rehabilitate him."
Ye Tang said: "You are quite loyal. Liu Handong's death is actually good for you. You have fallen in love with the eldest lady of the Zheng family, right? But Liu Handong got there first and I don't know how many times I slept with him."
Arhat sneered: "This is not what a major general should say."
Ye Tang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's make a deal. You give up your relationship with Xian Hui, and I'll help you deal with Yao Guang."
Arhat stretched out a hand: "A gentleman's words."
"Hurry up and whip your horse." Ye Tang high-fived him.
…
Yao Guang is in big trouble. He secretly mobilized the special service team to perform the mission, causing serious consequences of three deaths and one injury. This is a trivial matter. The key is that he used the special service team that can only be used for overseas missions for domestic operations. This is serious.
Illegal behavior.
Someone took the opportunity to add insult to injury and submitted the evidence of Yao Guangli's foreign connections directly to the head of the Military Commission. The chief was furious and ordered the General Political Security Department to conduct a thorough investigation. No matter who was involved, they would get to the bottom of it and never tolerate it.
Luo Han did not go to the United States, but continued to work in an office. National Security attaches great importance to talents like him. It is said that if a lieutenant colonel is transferred to a deputy director level, the salary will be good. Don't even think about actual work. He is a carrot and a pit. There is no room for transferred cadres.
, but Luohan is actually a full-time, deputy-level leader of the action team of the Profit Recovery Office. He has considerable power and has access to core secrets.
The deputy minister in charge of recovering stolen goods called Luo Han, had a pleasant chat, and finally said: "National Security Bureau welcomes you back at any time, and I will save your spot for you."
Arhat was confused: "What do you mean, you won't let me do it?"
The deputy minister smiled and said: "There are more important tasks waiting for you. Well, I have another meeting. I will organize the relationship and someone will help you transfer back later. There is a car downstairs to pick you up. Go quickly."
Arhat went downstairs, and sure enough, there was a military-branded Audi A8 waiting for him. He got in the car without saying anything, and walked all the way to a certain unnamed military building.
There were several generals sitting in the conference room, one of them was Major General Ye Tang.
A lieutenant general waved: "Ronald, come here."
Arhat stepped forward and saluted. These people were all his uncles and had watched him grow up.
The lieutenant general took out a pair of army colonel epaulettes and said: "I have wronged you in the past two years, but it is good to practice at the local level to sharpen your temper."
Another major general said: "How can the descendants of the old Luo family not wear military uniforms? The National Security Bureau is after all a policeman and a civilian."
Arhat's nose felt a little sore. He knew that he would definitely put on his military uniform again, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Ye Tang said with a smile: "This guy was very angry in front of me two days ago. He said that he was in charge of the National Security Bureau and was not under my control. Now that he is fine, it is under my control."
Arhat stood with his heels together and saluted Ye Tang.
Ye Tang returned the favor: "Arhat, you have to complete the transition from a special forces officer to a newcomer on the intelligence front. If you don't want to, it's still too late to regret it."
Luo Han said: "If I don't agree, should I go back to Guoan?"
Ye Tang laughed: "That's not necessary. You can just pick any unit and become a regimental-level cadre."
Luo Han said: "I am willing. There is nothing wrong with espionage. I also do espionage in the national security. In peacetime, if you want to contribute to the country, this is the way to go."
Ye Tang said: "One more thing, if you continue to work in the special forces, there is a high possibility of being promoted to major general before the age of fifty, but there will be a transparent ceiling for espionage, and the military rank will not be very high. Maybe you will retire with the rank of senior colonel.
, in the end you won’t be able to reach the rank of general, you have to be mentally prepared for this.”
Arhat gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't wear this clothes just to be a general."
The lieutenant general laughed loudly: "Old Ye, don't talk nonsense. You have been a spy all your life, and you have become a general."
Ye Tang said: "I'm just kindly reminding you, Arhat, have you thought about it clearly?"
Luo Han is not stupid. It must be Ye Tang's efforts that he can put on the military uniform again. If he insists on going to the special forces, then he really has no future.
"I have thought it through clearly." Luo Han said in a firm tone.
"Okay, now I'll give you your first mission." Ye Tang patted him on the shoulder, "Go and arrest Yao Guang."
