The general in front of him is very young, probably only in his thirties. At this age, he can carry a general star on his shoulders, which shows that his military exploits should be very impressive, and most of them have some background.
After the ceremony, the leading general suddenly stepped forward with a smile, held Du Qingchen's hand with both hands, and said with some excitement: "Chief, I finally see you again."
Du Qingchen was stunned, looked at the general in front of him carefully, frowned and said, "Is your surname Miao?"
"Yes, yes, my name is Miao Zhan, and I used to be a soldier under your command."
Miao Zhan said quickly, he was even more excited.
"I didn't expect that the chief would still remember me, a big-headed soldier."
Du Qingchen smiled and said: "I remember you were a regiment commander at that time. What a big-headed soldier. Stop talking about that useless thing. I remember you were a soldier in the Northeast. Why did you come here?"
"As a soldier, you come wherever you need it. It's the same wherever your motherland needs you."
Then, Miao Zhan whispered: "The old man at home tried his best to get me here. He said he would stay here for a few years first and then talk about it."
Du Qingchen understood.
It is indeed easier to get promoted in such a remote area.
This can be considered as gold plating.
Du Qingchen asked Miao Zhan: "How is your father?"
"It's still an old problem. It was left behind on the battlefield. It won't be cured, but it won't affect life safety," Miao Zhan said.
Nodding, Du Qingchen said seriously: "He is also an old hero. Don't let him down, let alone embarrass him."
"yes!"
Miao Zhan stood at attention and answered loudly.
A group of officers and soldiers stood upright, all staring at Du Qingchen with fiery eyes.
"Hey, Chief, it's rare for you to come here. Why don't you say a few words to everyone?"
Miao Zhan said.
Du Qingchen was ashamed: "Do you have a private car here? I need a car because I am in a hurry."
"Can I send you off in a military vehicle?"
"No, I'm here to deal with some things this time. Everything needs to be kept low-key."
Miao Zhan said: "I have a car parked in the garage, and I haven't driven it much yet. The chief will drive there in a while. If you need us to do anything, just give the order."
Du Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "How far is it from Longchang County?"
"It's not far, just over thirty kilometers."
"Then it's really possible that I need your help. Let's leave a phone number. I'll call you if necessary. I hope you won't miss my important event. Don't let me slip up at the critical moment."
Du Qingchen warned.
"Don't worry, chief, I won't embarrass you. We will fight wherever the chief points out, without any ambiguity." Miao Zhan promised.
The two exchanged phone numbers, and Du Qingchen asked again: "You don't have any special relationship with the local government, do you?"
His intention was very clear. When he came this time, he would definitely win over some people. If Miao Zhan happened to have a different relationship with some people in the local government, he would have to avoid it then.
Miao Zhan was startled and said: "Chief, I am a soldier and have no contact with the government. When I came here, the old man at home also told me not to go to any dinners. The food in the military camp will not kill anyone."
, so I almost never make friends with them, except for possible encounters during necessary meetings, which are just casual acquaintances."
"Then I can rest assured. Bring me the car. Let's leave now."
Du Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Miao Zhan said: "That won't work. Chief, it's a rare time for you to come here. I've prepared the meal. It's already time to eat. I have to have a meal anyway. How about I go back? The old man won't curse me to death."
Don't worry, I won't disturb your business. I will be the driver in a while and take you to the county seat in person. I am familiar with the road conditions and will be able to reach the county seat in no time."
"Okay, let's start dinner quickly."
Du Qingchen was not polite to this former subordinate.
"Why don't you say a few words to them? They all want to hear what you have to say. They were so excited when they heard you were coming."
Miao Zhan whispered.
Du Qingchen was ashamed, and finally had no choice but to say a few words to the soldiers, saying that everyone should stick to their posts and protect their homes and country.
Many leaders will say this kind of cliché when they come to inspect, even Miao Zhan can say it.
But when these words came out of Du Qingchen's mouth, the effect was completely different.
It was obvious that the spirits of these soldiers were greatly shaken, and their eyes were all shining...
Today's speech can be regarded as a baptism for their souls.
We had lunch at the military camp at noon. It was quite hearty and the cooking team was pretty good at it.
The meal only took ten minutes to finish, and Miao Zhan had already had his car driven over.
Seeing the car in front of him, Du Qingchen frowned: "Is this car a little too conspicuous?"
The BMW x6 itself is not too high-end, only about one million, but in this small county, it is a bit eye-catching.
This is a poor county... Du Qingchen couldn't help but frown.
"Then I don't have any other cars here. Otherwise, let's go to the county town first. If it really feels inappropriate, I will help you find a car. I have a friend in the county town who is my classmate. He has a car there.
Does the Volkswagen Santana work? It’s just that the car is a bit inferior.”
Miao Zhan said enthusiastically.
"Okay, then you drive us now and call your friend. I'm really in a hurry. Also, about me, don't tell your friends and keep it absolutely confidential. The news about me coming here must also be blocked. This is
Order."
Du Qingchen said seriously.
"yes!"
Miao Zhan drove the two of them to the county seat, a distance of more than 30 kilometers, and it only took half an hour to arrive.
It sounds quite slow, but in fact it is very fast. The road here is not very good. It is not hardened. It is full of mud roads and potholes. It rained a few days ago and there is a lot of water in some places.
When we arrived at the county seat, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Miao Zhan's friend had already driven his car to the intersection and was waiting.
After getting out of the car, Lei Zhan took the car keys, handed them to Du Qingchen, and said: "Chief, the gas has been filled up. You can drive as you like. If you have anything, please notify me in time. I will wait for your call at any time."
He left his friends and came over to whisper.
Du Qingchen nodded, said hello to his friend, and drove away with Gu Shihan.
"Have you been here?"
While driving, Du Qingchen asked.
Gu Shihan nodded: "I've been here many times. Should I go to the hospital first or the school where the accident occurred?"
"Of course we are going to the hospital. Let's go see the injured first. Life is at stake." Du Qingchen said, "But I'm not familiar with the road. Please lead me."
"good."
Gu Shihan actually cares about those injured children now.
She was originally here to help these children, but in the end, her good intentions turned out to be a bad thing. Due to quality problems, the teaching school actually collapsed, killing two people, and causing so many children to be injured and hospitalized. Gu Shihan was very upset.
, I always feel that all of this has a lot to do with her.
Seeing the self-blame on his face, Du Qingchen comforted him with a few words.
Soon, the car drove to the hospital.
The entire city is relatively backward and cannot compare with developed areas. The overall feeling is that it is more than ten years behind the outside world.
Looking at the hospital in front of him, Du Qingchen nodded.
Not bad, the hospital's hardware facilities are not bad, not as crude as expected.
