After the business talk was over, the old man was already joking again and again before Duan Ruixiang came to his senses.
Except for General Duan, the old man's four sons resembled him, the other three sons all took after the deceased old lady in appearance. They were tall and handsome when they were young, but mature and elegant as they entered middle age, most attracting the attention of women.
Duan Ruixiang had long been used to the old man's joking, so he stood up and said: "It's time to spend some time with my wife. Unfortunately, I didn't see Zhao'an's wife when I came back this time. It is said that she is the most outstanding-looking and the most temperamental among the entire Duan family's wives."
A unique daughter-in-law. I brought back silverware with age stamps from SAARC and treated it as a meeting gift."
"You are so stingy. The greeting gifts they gave were all family heirlooms. Why did you take something used by the gringo as a greeting gift? Take out your Wu Daozi painting as a greeting gift." The old man hummed.
With just a few words, Duan Ruixiang lost a famous painting.
Very few authentic works of Wu Daozi have survived. Duan Ruixiang has it, but few people know about it.
Duan Zhaoan, who was saving a dowry for his wife, had already thanked her.
After returning to the room, Duan Ruixiang said to his wife Qin Weilan, dumbfounded, "Why did I think that the old man had already taken aim? I'm afraid I went back to the study to talk to avoid being noticed."
"Come on, you're still heartbroken." Qin Weilan packed her husband's home clothes and prepared towels and other items. "Go and wash yourself quickly. I'll go downstairs to help my sister-in-law."
In the study room, Mr. Duan said solemnly: "It's a very important matter. I'm afraid it won't be possible to send ordinary people there. If they don't let me go, I'll just steal it! I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get it back!"
…
"The fighter plane is very big. I'm afraid I can't steal it back." Duan Zhaoan said calmly, "Unless it is dismantled, packed and returned to China."
The grandfather and grandson decided on a countermeasure in just a few words.
Sneak the fighter plane back into the country... The senior officials at the meeting nodded silently, "We still need to send experts."
"Go to the research center and select some experts. I believe they will be happy."
"You can't be too showy, you have to be low-key, low-key."
"It is unrealistic to ship by sea or by air."
Even though half a year has passed since the SAARC embassy was bombed, the Military Ministry has never regarded this matter as the past tense and has been discussing it secretly. Even though everyone is very angry with the United States, it cannot be as simple as what is said outside:
You give me a shot, and I'll give you a shot in return.
Duan Zhaoan didn't know the specific plan, but all soldiers knew that on that day, a US strategic bomber taking off from the US domestic air force base used five missiles to attack the embassy in Yugoslavia from different angles, resulting in the death of three Chinese journalists.
More than 20 embassy staff were injured and the embassy building was severely damaged.
This is a fact that everyone knows, which has aroused national anger, and even college students collectively protested in the United States.
Gu Chen also knew that what she saw was an ambitious country that used force to suppress countries weaker than them.
The most powerful thing that can be seen as a country's strength is its military strength.
On December 6th, Gu Chen walked out of the dormitory after finishing his evening study as usual. His cell phone, which was set to vibrate as usual, started ringing in his pocket.
"If I need you to go to a certain country immediately and bring back something very important for our country, will Gu Chen be willing to fight for the country again?"
Fighting for the country again... Gu Chen's heart was severely shaken. The same words said by different people could still make her obey unconditionally.
