Preface 10 The Eastern Awakening Lion

I ate on the way, causing the leader to wait for a long time

When the Eastern Lion, having slumbered for over a hundred years, awakens from its dream, the entire world will bow before it

Chief, I have finished my tasks. I will bring over the fruit and snacks shortly

By the way, didn't your Aunt Qin introduce you to someone? How far has the relationship developed?

After returning, remember to give the other party a call. Arrange to have a meal together. Relationships need to be nurtured gradually

What is the problem?" Ji Youguo's expression also became unusually serious

On this day, Ji Youguo had no choice but to abandon his family life

As for the submarine, will it be able to return safely

Do I need to greet the lady?" Wang Yuanqing put down the documents in his hands

It is not serious, the critical period has already passed, and there are no missing limbs. After recovery, he will still be able to serve.

Peng Maobang hesitated slightly before nodding. "Returning directly is certainly not an option; this matter has already attracted significant attention from the United States, and the U.S. military has lost a nuclear submarine"

I will handle it immediately. Peng Maobang stood up at once

"As for tea, I usually don't drink it much. I just use the tea that others give me to entertain guests." Ji Youguo prepared two cups of tea and then sat down on the chair next to Peng Maobang. "Old Peng, do we have any news about the situation over there?"

At the end of the shaded path in the West Garden of the Head of State's residence, there stands an antique-style wooden bungalow embraced by maple trees, which serves as the regular office of the fifth President of the Republic, Ji Youguo. He is accustomed to completing his daily duties before sunset. If there are no special matters to attend to, he will have dinner with his family and then spend two hours assisting the First Lady of the Republic in tending to the plants in the greenhouse, after which he reads bedtime stories to his granddaughter at precisely 9:30 PM. On Saturday evenings, he also makes it a point to watch live broadcasts of basketball games on hetushu.com. If he is unable to watch the games on time due to pressing official duties, he will have his secretary record the matches and find another time to view them.

As the personal secretary to the leader, Wang Yuanqing is not only a key assistant to Ji Youguo but also a half member of Ji Youguo's family

Three pilots were sacrificed, and one was seriously injured; a shipborne helicopter was lost; additionally, the submarine that went to provide assistance was also suddenly attacked by a U.S. nuclear submarine, resulting in some damage

"Chief, we are just ordinary friends. It's not like that." Wang Yuanqing's face immediately turned red, and he appeared quite shy.

There is no need to guess; Ji Youguo knew that it was Peng Maobang who had arrived, for only the most outstanding soldiers could produce such a distinctive and unique sound of footsteps

Arrange it as soon as possible, and do not reveal any clues. By the way, when is the battle scheduled to take place

You are not young anymore. You are thirty-four, right? When I was your age, little Ji was almost starting elementary school. Ji Youguo said this while picking up a cigarette from a sandalwood box. Wang Yuanqing immediately took out a lighter to help the leader light the cigarette. "There is no need to feel embarrassed. You have been with me for almost twelve years, right? I have always regarded you as half a son. It’s time for you to settle down and have a child. This will also put your parents' minds at ease. After all, the older generation tends to be more conservative. You are the only child in your family, and you still haven't married or had children. How can that be?"

Fortunately, it is not Saturday

Engagement has occurred, and a second American submarine has arrived, likely a "Seawolf." However, we have now evaded the American submarine, but we cannot return directly; we must adopt a contingency plan based on the "He-Tu-Shu" method.

It's nothing, it's nothing, I just finished my work as well. By the way, there won't be any trouble on the lady's side, will there

Seeing Wang Yuanqing rush out in a fluster, Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head. He knew that Wang Yuanqing had not been looking for a partner, not because he could not find a suitable one, but because he did not want to bring any negative impact to him. As the personal secretary to the head of state, Wang Yuanqing could be considered a focal figure of the Republic.

How is the condition of the injured personnel

He instructed the guard to escort Peng Maobang out of the presidential residence, then Ji Youguo returned to his study, closed the door, lit a cigarette, and walked to the window on the west side

Xiao Ji is the only daughter of the leader, Ji Xiao Ji. After returning from studying abroad, she works at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic and is currently a senior researcher. Because Ji Youguo did not use his influence to secure special treatment for his daughter, she has not returned since the Qingming Festival, perhaps out of resentment towards her biological father

Apart from the special status of a head of state, along with the special treatment and busy official duties that come with it, Ji Youguo's daily life does not differ significantly from that of an ordinary person. This has led to criticism from many, with some even believing that he is not a qualified head of state and is entirely unworthy of serving as the highest leader of the republic

Did we not lose a carrier-based helicopter and sacrifice three pilots

After a moment of contemplation, Ji Youguo finally said: "Merely adopting a contingency plan is not sufficient; we must make every effort to eliminate all relevant clues and ensure that the United States does not point the finger at us"

"Old Ji, is it too late for us to make arrangements now?" Peng Maobang felt a bit anxious, as he had overlooked a very critical detail.

Ji Youguo stroked his chin, pondering for a while, and then finally let out a sigh

Many years have passed since then, yet it remains the same?" Ji Youguo chuckled, "That's fine, let's arrange everything as soon as possible to avoid prolonged delays. Additionally, remember to organize the domestic transportation work, ensuring that the experimental center is well-prepared. Once the goods arrive, they should be inspected immediately.

At that moment, Peng Maobang suddenly understood, "Are you referring to the director's pirate attack?"

It's nothing, you still don't understand, your sister-in-law has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Safe travels, I won't see you off

Peng Maobang expressed deep conviction regarding the analysis of Ji Youguo

Two and a half days ago

Before long, a powerful and rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed from outside the door

Haha... Peng Maobang laughed heartily, while waving his hand to the secretary who had just entered, signaling for the secretary to leave the leader's study. "It's nothing, I called home before coming out."

As he gazed at the setting sun in the west, Ji Youguo could not predict what tomorrow would hold for the Republic. He only knew that a new era belonging to the Republic might soon be ushered in by his own hands

Wang Yuanqing certainly did not go home after work; he simply did not want to be spoken to by the leader about matters of romance, which is why he did not personally deliver the items.

When the door was pushed open, Ji Youguo had already reached the door. "General Peng, you have arrived. Have you had dinner?"

"Please, have a seat," said Ji Youguo, giving a glance to the guard by the door, signaling him to close it. "This is this year's pre-Qingming Longjing tea. Little Ji is upset with me and only sent me a small box. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be willing to take it out to entertain guests."

Rest assured, that American submarine sank to a depth of over 5,000 meters and was already disintegrated at the time of sinking. With current technology, it is impossible to salvage the debris. Furthermore, I have instructed to modify last year's exercise records, listing all the torpedoes on the "Gun Squid" as part of the exercise's consumed ammunition. Even if the United States manages to recover some fragments from the combat zone, they will have no way to pin the blame on us

Of course, otherwise your Aunt Qin will start to criticize again. Ji Youguo chuckled and continued, After you finish your work, you can go home; there won't be much happening here in the evening

Putting down the telephone receiver, Ji Youguo said to his secretary Wang Yuanqing, who was helping him organize documents: "Xiao Wang, stop tidying up the documents. General Peng Maobang will be coming over shortly. Please prepare some fruits and snacks, and also brew two cups of the new tea that Xiao Ji sent. By the way, give a heads-up to the security guard so that when General Peng arrives, he can come directly here."

I will make the necessary arrangements after I return. Old Ji, I will take my leave now, otherwise, my sister-in-law will say that I am neglecting your old stomach ailment and frequently bothering you

In his three years in office, Ji Youguo has not made many groundbreaking achievements, nor has he produced any globally noteworthy accomplishments

"Please arrange the follow-up work as I instructed as soon as possible, and do not raise the security alert level." Ji Youguo smiled slightly and said, "The United States will definitely take drastic measures, and may even suspect its allies of conspiring behind the scenes. As the list of suspects in the United States expands and more countries come under scrutiny, it is natural for someone to stir up trouble. We will act according to the situation when the time comes; as long as the goods return to the country, we need not fear any tricks from the United States."

This cannot be blamed on Peng Maobang. The nature of this operation is highly sensitive and requires absolute confidentiality. Fewer than ten individuals were involved in formulating the operational plan, most of whom are loyal senior generals, with no staff officers present. Therefore, it is inevitable that minor issues may arise during the operation

mhetushu.com is fine. I also have nothing to do when I go back tonight

"Old Ji, you are too polite." With no one else present, Peng Maobang changed his form of address.

"No, it is not too late yet." Ji Youguo stood up and walked back and forth in the room before finally stopping in front of Peng Maobang. "It has been two and a half days. If the American side has linked this matter to us, the President of the United States would definitely have tested my attitude through a hotline call. The fact that the President has not called yet indicates that the U.S. government is still unclear about who the unexpected player is. Even if the U.S. government suspects us, as long as there is no evidence, they would not dare to act recklessly."

Only those who truly understand him know that this man, over sixty years old, of unremarkable appearance, standing less than 165 centimeters tall, and slender yet vigorous, is far from the gentle and unremarkable figure that most people perceive. The heart beating within his chest is anything but ordinary. A lion must undergo years of trials before becoming king, a hero must endure humiliation and bear burdens before stepping onto the stage of history, and a great person with grand ambitions must possess an extraordinary mindset.

Leader

Approximately ten minutes later, the guard brought in the fruits, pastries, and two cups of pre-brewed Mingqian Longjing tea.

Your meaning is ... ...

Upon hearing this, Peng Maobang's expression immediately became serious, and he promptly took out the red-headed document from his pocket. "I received it before getting off work, and I rushed over immediately. The goods are already in hand and are currently in transit, but there have been some issues during the operation, and we must implement the contingency plan"

This is still insufficient. Ji Youguo shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, The escort fleet also needs to make relevant arrangements, and they must be executed more meticulously

Gunfire erupted! Ji Youguo showed no signs of panic, only a slight hint of surprise
