Qin Jingrou's unexpected appearance made the scene awkward.
Qin Jingrou opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. After a while, she nodded and said softly: "He called just now. As you know, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year."
Qin Jingrou bit her lower lip, looking at Qin Huairou who was dressed up carefully, she couldn't tell how she felt.
Of course she heard the implication of Qin Huairou's words. Du Fei hadn't been here for more than half a year and asked her not to disturb him.
Qin Jingrou sighed in her heart and forced a smile: "Well... I'll just grab something and leave."
Then I hurried to the east room and tinkered with it for a while but didn't know what to get.
Qin Huairou also sighed and followed her up, watching Qin Jingrou busy through the door, and wanted to persuade her. After all, Du Fei's frequency of coming here has become less and less in the past two or three years.
The hope that Qin Jingrou can climb onto Du Fei's bed is even slimmer, and Qin Jingrou is already thirty-one this year.
In this era, there are almost no unmarried girls of this age.
But after opening his mouth, nothing came out.
Over the years, she has advised everything that needs to be persuaded, and has said everything that needs to be said. Qin Jingrou is determined to go all the way to the dark side. What can she do?
Qin Jingrou climbed onto the kang, took out a book from under the pillow and stuffed it into her handbag. She turned back to Qin Huairou and forced a smile again: "Sister, I'll go back to the unit first." Tears were almost overflowing from her eyes.
Qin Huairou walked out quickly without waiting for anything to say.
Qin Huairou took a step back to let her out, then walked to the door of the outhouse and watched Qin Jingrou push the car out of the courtyard.
After this little episode, Qin Huairou felt a little unmotivated, but it only took a few minutes for her to adjust.
After waiting for another half an hour, Du Fei finally arrived. His eyes lit up when he saw the well-dressed beauties, and he thought to himself that the bride was indeed the reincarnation of a vixen...
Until the evening, when Du Fei was leaving, Qin Huairou thought about it again and again and finally did not mention Qin Jingrou.
She didn't want Du Fei to have any trouble with her. After finally coming here, if she made things difficult for Du Fei again, she might never come again in the future.
Qin Huairou lay on the kang and didn't want to move, her whole body seemed to be falling apart after a long absence.
The high-priced custom-made satin cheongsam was thrown aside, and the expensive silk stockings were torn, even though she had been trying to stop her just now.
But thinking about Du Fei's bad behavior, I decided to buy a few more and save them next time.
She didn't know that Du Fei went out from the yard and met a figure guarding the house in the alley outside the door.
After the New Year, the weather hadn't warmed up yet, and it was already dark. Most people would be startled, but thanks to Du Fei's sharp eyes, he recognized at a glance that it was Qin Jingrou who was guarding here.
Qin Jingrou didn't know how long she had been waiting. Her little face was red from the cold. The bicycle was on the side. She squatted against the wall, holding her knees with her hands, looking as pitiful as a puppy that could not find a home.
"Jingrou?" Du Fei frowned slightly. He didn't know that Qin Jingrou had gone back before, and thought that Qin Jingrou couldn't go home because of him.
Qin Jingrou raised her head and saw that Du Fei felt a sense of grievance welling up in her heart. She was about to cry, but she held it back.
She was no longer the little girl she was when she first met Du Fei. From 1966 to 1979, she had been entangled with Du Fei for thirteen years, from the age of eighteen to thirty.
one.
She knew that the thirty-two-year-old Qin Jingrou must not cry, and would surrender if she cried.
She had a hunch that today was probably her last chance, and tears would be the most useless.
If tears were useful, her children would all be happy.
Qin Jingrou stood up. Her legs were numb from squatting for too long. She endured the discomfort and looked directly at Du Fei: "Brother Du Fei, I want to talk to you."
…
On the other end, after saying goodbye to Du Fei, Natasha simply dealt with the matter at hand and took a flight from the capital back to Moscow three days later.
After coming out of the airport and sitting in the back seat of a Volga, Natasha walked through Moscow city to her grandfather's office in the Krem Palace.
At this time, Moscow was without a doubt the most glorious city in the world, and Sulian at its peak gave the city countless auras.
But in the car, Natasha felt that this place was obviously different from the capital.
The capital is full of construction sites and things are changing every moment, but Moscow is like an adult that has stopped growing. It was like this a few years ago and it is still like this now.
Natasha withdrew her gaze and abandoned the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
In the past few years, through observing Huaguo and coming into contact with Du Fei, she deeply felt the differences between Huaguo.
It wasn't until the car drove over the Moskva River Bridge and saw the Kremlin Palace that she felt at ease.
After more than ten minutes, I saw grandpa in the spacious office.
"Oh~my little Natasha~" The old man was very happy to see his granddaughter, and smiled and came over to hug her.
"Grandpa..." Natasha also smiled and said a lot of nice things.
The grandfather and grandson sat down and talked about some of Natasha's achievements in Huaguo this time.
Since the last negotiation ended, Natasha has not stayed idle in the capital, but has assumed a very important role in communication between the two parties.
Her special status allowed her voice to reach Moscow's top brass without any obstruction.
It wasn't until the end that Du Fei's request was mentioned.
When the old man heard this, he frowned, but did not interrupt. Until Natasha finished speaking, he lit his pipe in silence and began to think.
After a while he said: "He is really good at calculating. He can use his strength to make the trees bloom."
Grandpa Natasha is a veteran from World War II, and has studied Huaguo's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies".
Natasha was not in a hurry to speak, although she could hear her grandfather's scornful attitude and disapproval of Du Fei's tricks.
But the final decision does not depend on sensory attitudes, but on interests.
Sure enough, Grandpa Natasha chuckled: "However, the 30% qualified rule...it's good that he figured it out."
Natasha smiled, knowing that the matter would most likely be successful, mainly because the chips Du Fei gave her were indeed very tempting.
On the other hand, Moscow has probably considered sending additional air power to Afhan for a long time, but now it agrees that this is a smooth process.
And objectively speaking, the Du Fei matter is too insignificant to Moscow. If it hadn't been through Natasha, there would be no way to discuss it here.
After finishing this matter, Grandpa Natasha asked again: "Natasha, according to our preliminary discussions, in the next step of disarmament negotiations, we are preparing to reduce 300,000 troops in the Far East and retain 420,000 mobile troops..."
Natasha felt a shiver in her heart and immediately listened carefully. She did not expect that her grandfather would ask her opinion on this issue.
Then she realized her grandfather's foresight when he decided to send her to Huaguo.
After working abroad for the past few years, she has become an expert on flowers and fruits, and she later went to Leningrad to engage in research in this field.
In the future, as flowers and fruits become more important, their value will also increase.
Grandpa Natasha continued: "What we ask of Huaguo is that the opponent's front-line troops deployed in the three regions of Northeast, North China, and Northwest China are reduced from 176 divisions to less than 120 divisions, and their regular army size is controlled to 400
Thousands of people…”
After listening to this, Natasha thought carefully for a while: "Grandpa, if we only look at the number of people, I think this plan is very promising. In fact, with the economic improvement of Huaguo in recent years, the economic scale has grown by more than 100% for five consecutive years.
More than 8%, and the industrial added value alone even reached 15% last year, giving them ample funds to promote military modernization."
Grandpa Natasha nodded, took a puff of his pipe, and motioned for her to continue.
Natasha said: "And I noticed that 'preparing for war and preparing for famine' was only mentioned 6 times in the People's Daily last year, while it was 22 times the year before, 43 times in 1977, and 68 times in 1976. This
This shows that after completing the test launch of Dongfeng-5, they believed that their survival issues had been guaranteed, and the traditional influence of Nanyang was restored, so that their food problem could be solved, and the overall security environment had been greatly changed.
Grandpa Natasha nodded again and couldn't help but look at this granddaughter with admiration.
He didn't say it in a formal way, but he made a logical comparison with figures.
Natasha said: "In this context, some voices have emerged, proposing to deepen military reform and build a new type of army with stronger combat effectiveness, higher technical level, more advanced weapons and equipment, and a 21st century face."
Grandpa Natasha raised her eyebrows and said playfully: "In the 21st century, your tone is not small~"
Natasha shrugged: "So, even if there is no negotiation with us, I estimate that they will carry out large-scale disarmament and blood exchange in the future, but unilateral disarmament will make them psychologically insecure. If they can negotiate with us
Linked action can not only take the opportunity to ease relations, but also reduce opposition voices..."
Until Natasha left the office, her grandfather looked at the time and found that more than an hour had passed before she knew it.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Hey, Comrade Zierbov, do Comrade Polezhny have time?...Okay, I'll go over now."
A few minutes later, Grandpa Natasha appeared in Polezhne's office.
"I heard that little Natasha is back~" As soon as he entered the door, Polezhne stood up on his own initiative and welcomed Grandpa Natasha to the sofa with a smile.
As a representative of the Leningrad family, Grandpa Natasha's age and qualifications, as well as the political power behind her, are worthy of Bolezhne's win over.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Grandpa Natasha took the initiative to mention the issue of disarmament in the Far East.
This reconciliation with Huaguo was vigorously promoted by the Leningrad faction, and disarmament in the Far East was the key.
Once the disarmament negotiations are completed, the easing of relations will be completed. This is a huge achievement in both political and foreign affairs.
Grandpa Natasha's age means that he must prepare for his death. More than half of the results this time will be converted into Uncle Natasha's resources.
Polezhne listened to Grandpa Natasha's description of Huaguo and the disarmament situation in the Far East, and said in a deep voice: "In other words, the Huaguo people are taking advantage of the relatively loose economic environment to try to shift their troops from light infantry to large-scale mechanization.
force."
Grandpa Natasha nodded: "This is an inevitable trend. We completed this transformation after World War II. Once a large number of technical equipment is added, the unit's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. They will not have to maintain two to three times the force to maintain the relationship with us.
Balance of power."
Polezhny frowned, this was obviously not good news.
He hopes to focus his energy on Afhan, hoping to ease the pressure from other directions at this time, but this does not mean that he wants to see potential opponents become stronger.
Grandpa Natasha saw his thoughts and added: "Comrade Polezhny, this is irreversible. After thirty years of development, they are no longer what they used to be."
Polezhny took a deep breath. His broad shoulders made him look majestic when he was young, but in his old age, they became a burden.
After pondering for a moment, Polezhne sighed: "Yes~ after all, it is a big country with a civilization of five thousand years and a population of nearly 1 billion."
When it came to population, Polezhne was silent for a while. Despite continuous efforts, the population growth of Sulian has always been unsatisfactory.
If there had been no World War II, according to their population plan, the population would have reached 400 million by now, accounting for more than 10% of the world's population.
Now there are only 600 million, which is almost equivalent to a quarter of Huaguo, and only 20 million more than America.
Grandpa Natasha observed Polezhne's expression and said tentatively: "Back then, Comrade Steel once said that in the world, Huaguo and we should both bear greater responsibilities and have division of labor and cooperation. Huaguo is responsible for the colonies in the East.
, semi-colonial Guojia, we are more responsible for the work in the West and other regions..."
After Bolezhne came to power, his evaluation of Comrade Iron and Steel was relatively objective, and he publicly restored Comrade Iron and Steel's reputation many times.
Grandpa Natasha mentioned this here to remind Polezhne that some things can be made up for by moving forward, and he does not need to bear historical responsibility.
He continued: "I think the comrades in Huaguo are doing well in Nanyang. They have lived up to the expectations of comrades Iron and Steel~"
Polezhny nodded slowly. Whether they admitted it or not, with the defeat of the Vietnamese army in Chenla by the Nanyang Weihe troops dominated by Hua people, it marked that Huaguo had restored its traditional influence and control in Nanyang.
This is a reality that neither Sulian nor America can change.
But this reason alone is not enough to make him relent on the issue of disarmament in the Far East.
In the final analysis, this is a political issue. Polezhny knows that Grandpa Natasha is paving the way for her eldest son, and as an ally, he certainly cannot stop it.
But you take advantage of it, but you can't let him take the blame.
Although Comrade Iron and Steel said those words back then, things are different now. They were brothers in the past, but they are no longer brothers.
Polezhne must ensure that the situation in the East does not deteriorate after agreeing to disarmament and easing relations between the two sides.
Grandpa Natasha must come up with a solution in this regard and give guarantees.
Regarding this, Grandpa Natasha knew very well, and had already considered it, otherwise she would not have come. He continued: "The colonies and semi-colonies in the East that Comrade Steel mentioned are not only the Southern Ocean, but also the East Ocean. Now
It is still America's colony. As the leader of Dongfang Geming, this should be Huaguo's obligation..."
Polezhny raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood what the old fox in front of him had planned.
