Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1212 Even if they die, they will be sent back!
"But if we have to wait for an opportunity, it will have a huge impact on us," complained the Air Force commander.

The garrison commander spread his hands and shrugged: "There is no other way. We must pay the price of patience. After all, the opponent is not simple. Don't worry, this opportunity will definitely appear. It appears many times every year. It's just that when this opportunity appeared last year, because Lu Song's direction had already abandoned this plan, it was not implemented. This time, we will unite multiple directions to cause greater trouble to the Easterners."

What the Citigroup people didn't expect was that before they got the chance to cause us trouble, a country that even the Citigroup people couldn't invade came to cause us trouble first.

In the north, in the Russian capital, a Russian hurried into an office.

"Mr. Minister, something happened in the Far East." The old Russian said with a serious expression.

"Comrade Gosha, don't be impatient, speak slowly." The Russian deputy minister in charge of Far Eastern diplomatic affairs waved his hand to calm the comrade down.

To a certain extent, due to the existence of Comrade Nan Fang, he was not very worried about the affairs of the Far East. Comrade Nan Fang was like a stabilizing force who could keep the Far East firmly in place, and nothing serious could happen there.

The most serious incident was that in 62, the Southern comrades beat up the Sindhu people. This had a certain impact on restraining the Southern comrades, but it actually had little impact on the overall situation of the Russians. After all, Sindhu was famous for having its cake and eat it too. It was not a bad thing to let the Southern comrades purify it and split off a piece that was completely on their side.

But this time, things were a little unexpected.

"Comrades in the South ask us to take care of our own... uh... our own ally Kirk."

Perhaps the wording used by comrades from the south is not easy to translate. After all, Chinese has always been profound and extensive, and there are compressed packages everywhere. Idioms such as "forgetting one's ancestors", "taking a thief as one's father", "shameless", "aiding and abetting the tyrant", and "being furious" have always been very difficult to translate.

Of course, this is just a random example, and these idioms do not appear in this diplomatic note.

Kirk, a piece that was separated due to the operation of the transport captain.

"What do you want us to do?" The minister frowned. This matter could be a big or small matter. Kirk exists as a buffer zone. If we talk about it in a small way, it is a trivial matter. If we talk about it in a big way, it is a bit delicate.

“Comrades in the south believe that the increasing desertification in Kirk and the sandstorms formed by the monsoon have had a great impact on them, and ask us to urge Kirk to improve its environment to avoid further impact on their environment,” Comrade Gosha did not finish his words.

In fact, this matter is mainly to blame on the Russians. Before S2, after Kirk separated with the support of the Russians, the Russians have been pursuing anti-Southern propaganda in this strategic buffer zone, which has made Kirk's attitude towards us never good.

So to some extent, it is easier to ask the Russians for help with this kind of thing than to ask them themselves.

"How do comrades in the South know that these sandstorms come from Kirk?" The minister was a little surprised.

"Comrade Minister, they have quasi-real-time satellites. They sent me photos. The photos are very clear, the starting point and the area are very clear, and the shooting time is also very consistent with their weather records." Gosha shrugged.

"Well, I forgot that they have already gone ahead in this regard. Have the southern comrades taken any radical actions?"

"No, Comrade Minister, you know the customs in the South. They have their own principles," Gosha replied.

"Well, that's good. Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Theoretically, these two countries are his friends, which is different from Zang San's side.

The minister picked up the phone and dialed.

Soon the phone rang from the other end. Comrade Nan Fang's switch is really good. As long as the entire line is made of this kind of switch, cross-border calls will be very fast, the minister thought to himself.

The call was quickly picked up, and a gentle voice sounded: "Hello, Davari."

It can be heard that the southern comrades on the opposite side understand a little Russian.

The minister put on a smiling face and started to greet the person opposite him. People are like this. Even though they know that the person opposite cannot see them, they will still use corresponding expressions when expressing specific emotions.

After saying a few words, the minister got to the point. From then on, the translator on the other side began to intervene.

"Mr. Davari, I would like to ask you about the issue between you and Kirk regarding environmental desertification."

The gentle and polite voice on the other end sounded like his native language, and the person communicating with him in Maozi language was the translator.

"We have provided you with sufficient evidence for this matter. Considering that you will also be affected, we hope that you will urge the country to do its own thing from the perspective of benefiting all three parties."

"We fully understand your behavior and are willing to take necessary actions for the environmental interests of all three parties. We just want to get your clarification on your attitude towards Kirk." The minister actually didn't care about this matter. What he really wanted to know was the attitude of the Southerners towards Kirk. After all, he had made a lot of small moves on this matter decades ago.

"We fully respect Kirk's sovereignty."

It was obvious that the Southerners had no interest in Kirk. That area was originally a slave settlement hundreds of years ago, and the conditions there were actually quite poor, otherwise they would not have been given to slaves to live in.

Moreover, the existence of a de facto buffer zone is meaningful to the countries on both sides of the Kirk, and the Southerners do not sound like they have any intention of changing the status quo.

This made the Minister feel relieved.

In Gao Zhendong's office in Beijing, he received a package from the Northeast Carbon Research Institute. This has been a custom there for many years. A gift from a thousand miles away is worth more than the sentiment behind it, not to mention that this package was not light.

There was also a photo in the package, which was taken by Comrade Lao Duan when he was on a business trip. He thought this kind of scenery was quite rare, so he sent it to Gao Zhendong to open his eyes.

It was a large lake on the top of a mountain, with rippling waves, snow-white mountains and tranquil waters, and the scenery looked extremely beautiful. Gao Zhendong, who received the photo, couldn't help but think of his geography comprehensive in high school, and couldn't help analyzing it. From the words "Photographed in the morning of X month X day of X year" on the photo, combined with the direction of the mountain shadow, it should have been taken on the south bank of the lake.

Well, it seems that my geographical knowledge is still as sharp as ever. I wonder where this guy was on a business trip to take the photos.

After putting the photo down, his phone rang.

When I picked up the phone, it turned out to be a person who rarely called.

——Gao Zhendong’s father-in-law!
Under normal circumstances, Lou's father would never call Gao Zhendong's unit. It was obviously very unusual that he called him while he was still at work.

This made Gao Zhendong a little anxious. Could it be something about his wife and children?

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Father Lou's words were somewhat vague: "It's nothing serious. Shouxing is back and brought some things with him. I think you should come and take a look. By the way, it would be best if you bring a few people with you."

Bring something? Want to see something?
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Gao Zhendong immediately decided to go back to his father-in-law's house to visit.

Lou Shouxing must have brought Miss He Wu back, but Miss He Wu must have nothing to do with what my father-in-law said. Since my father-in-law broke the convention and called me directly, and pointed out that he wanted to bring someone with him, it was worth going there immediately.

Gao Zhendong thought about it, and went to the Internal Security Office of the Third Branch Factory and called Xie Jianye: "Old Xie, bring two people and go with me."

Xie Jianye got into Gao Zhendong's car and drove. Gao Zhendong didn't have a driving license and could only sit in the passenger seat with a bitter face.

"Sit in the back, sit in the back." Xie Jianye started the car and waved his hand to send people away.

Gao Zhendong said with a bashful face: "I'm carsick later. That's it, hurry up."

Xie Jianye did not insist any further. He was just being cautious and there was actually no hard and fast rule. The other two comrades sat in the back seat and the car drove away quietly.

Xie Jianye knew the way to Gao Zhendong's Yue family's house, and the car quickly arrived outside the Lou family's house.

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

Gao Zhendong waved his hand and said, "Come on, follow me up."

As soon as Gao Zhendong entered the room, Lou's mother came forward holding her little brother and said, "They are all waiting for you in the study."

Gao Zhendong nodded, said hello to Dou Yanzhi's sister's wife and He Wu, then led his people to the study.

When I walked into the study, Lou's father and Lou Shouxing were both inside.

There was another person, a teenager.

What's going on here? Gao Zhendong was stunned.

But the two people behind Xie Jianye were quicker in action. Seeing strangers and Gao Zhendong specifically asking them to come up together today, they became highly alert.

The two of them immediately separated Gao Zhendong from the study, and Xie Jianye and another comrade walked in.

Although I know this is Gao Zhendong's father-in-law's home, things are weird today, so it's not excessive to be careful. Rules are rules.

After a while, Xie Jianye shouted, "Lao Gao, it's done."

Gao Zhendong walked in and asked his father-in-law and brother-in-law: "This is..."

Lou Shouxing said: "This is a child I picked up in Hong Kong Island, from Danggui Province."

Angelica? No wonder Chief Engineer Gao asked us to come. Several comrades rushed forward again, dragged the boy out first, and said that you should talk about the matter first, and then talk to the child. Although it has been checked, you still have to be careful. Xie Jianye was still in the study with Gao Zhendong.

Picked it up? Angelica Province? Lou Shouxing didn't think it was reliable.

How do you know he is from Danggui Province? Nowadays, most people from Danggui Province who can come to Hong Kong Island have a very strong mainland accent, and the coquettish tone is not that strong, even for teenagers, because their accent is greatly influenced by their family members.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Come on, come on, stop making up stories now that we're home. Tell me the truth, what happened?"

Lou Shouxing slapped himself on the mouth: "Fuck, I'm used to it."

Then he told the whole story.

This young man is indeed from Danggui Province, but he was not picked up, but was given to him by someone from Danggui Province.

"Why should I give it to you?"

"Everyone over there knows that I have close ties with the mainland, so they come to me for help. It is said that they want to send him back here to take care of the elderly in his hometown." Lou Shouxing's general connections are no secret in the eyes of the senior figures over there. He is a person who does business on behalf of this side in an open and aboveboard manner. John Bull is not stupid and he turns a blind eye to such people.

"Then why doesn't he come back?"

"The master has registered and can't come back."

"Hang up? Work in the military?"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably close. Anyway, I feel a bit like you."

Xie Jianye was a little puzzled when he heard this: "It's not a small matter for such a big child to disappear inexplicably at Danggui's place, right?"

Lou Shouxing said: "According to his family, he had turned the child into a 'fallen into the water' on the boat from Danggui to Hong Kong Island."

"Hiss~~~~~~" Gao Zhendong and Xie Jianye both took a breath of cold air. This matter was not simple. Even if they wanted to go back to their hometown to take care of the elderly, it was rare to see someone so determined and fussy about it.

Gao Zhendong said to Xie Jianye: "Please invite the child in. There must be something hidden."

Xie Jianye said: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Gao Zhendong smiled: "Don't worry, the spies won't be so decisive. They know a little bit about your background, but they still dare to send it to you? Besides, such a young child, how can he be a spy?"

Xie Jianye went out, and after a while, the three men came back with the young man, but they were still far away from Gao Zhendong.

"Tell me, why did you and your father spend so much time and effort to come back?" Gao Zhendong asked.

The boy was not very young and could judge a lot of things. He knew that the person who had the final say here was Gao Zhendong, and looking at the people around him, he could even guess that Gao Zhendong was of high status.

"My father said that we must not let our comrades die in obscurity! He himself could not come back, so even if his son might die on the road, he would send me back to report the news!"
