Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After a night, Feng Sizhe completely forgot what happened in Chang'an Western Restaurant yesterday. In his opinion, he just took this opportunity to get to know Miao Zihan. As for dealing with these people, he really didn't think about it. The Zhao family is weak now. It's okay in military terms, but it really has no advantage in local politics. Even if someone offended him, unless he got mad at the time, he would have to keep a low profile again and behave himself afterwards.

At the beginning of the eighth day of the New Year, after knowing that his grandfather had sincerely agreed to let him go to a place to train, he found his aunt and began to look through and search for local information. He wanted to see where would be a suitable place for him to go as his first stop.

Zhao Lizhu fully cooperated with her nephew. She worked in the Personnel Department of Zhong Xuanwen and used her connections to obtain some local information. She knew that the Zhao family's future hopes rested on Feng Sizhe, so if she could be used for this, she would certainly do her best.

Time passed quickly. Feng Sizhe checked the information provided by his aunt in the morning, and discussed the relevant actions against the Soviet Union with Duan Yunpeng, Qin Tian and others on the phone in the afternoon. Time passed day by day, and it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. When the Lantern Festival was approaching, the Gulf War, which was far away from the Republic, ended on this day. So far, because of the participation of the US military, on the basis of the use of a powerful air force, the Gulf War ended in just over a month. This was far from the result that many people in China expected that the US military would be stuck in a quagmire. Feng Sizhe became the focus again because he asserted at the He family dinner that if nothing unexpected happened, the war would end within two months.

Of course, the reason why Feng Sizhe became the focus this time was actually thanks to Wen Chaoying. It was he who kept publicizing in front of many people, saying that Feng Sizhe was brazen and that the Gulf War would end within two months. Unfortunately, his words have come true. Feng Sizhe's name is remembered by more people again, and Wen Chaoying was even more furious and regretful. After learning the news, he immediately stayed at home, which was a huge loss of face.

Feng Sizhe didn't have time to think about it, because his grandfather just called to say that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and his old leader specially sent someone to call and asked them to meet at his house tomorrow, and even asked to meet Feng Sizhe who had returned from abroad. It was a bit strange that a person could predict that a war would happen, and it was even stranger that he could predict the cycle of the war, which was a bit weird.

Without grandpa telling him, Feng Sizhe could guess who this old leader was. To make grandpa so excited, perhaps only Comrade De Guoen had such prestige in the country.

Knowing that he was going to meet De Guoen tomorrow, Feng Sizhe was really excited for a while. He knew that many people in later generations would be grateful for the good that De Guoen brought to them. It was because of his foresight that the economy of the Republic was able to embark on the track of economic take-off at an early date. It was also because of some of his propositions, such as "one country, two systems", that the country was able to successfully recover Hong Kong and Macao within the prescribed time. It can be said that in the history of the Republic, he is a well-deserved hero, and history will always remember his great achievements.

How could Feng Sizhe not be excited as he was going to have a meeting with such a person who was second only to the founding leader and the prime minister tomorrow? After learning the news, he immediately rushed back to his room and began to cram on some things. Many of these things were memorized by him using his memories of the past and present. He believed that these things would be useful in tomorrow's meeting.

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. It was indeed a good day in the late winter, and Feng Sizhe dressed up early in the morning, put on his stiff major uniform, and after breakfast, he and his grandfather got on the red flag car that the Kyoto Military Region had just equipped and headed straight to the back street of Jingshan, where he would see Comrade Deguoen, one of the people he admired most.

Arrangements had been made in advance, and the car passed through all the checkpoints very smoothly. Then, in a courtyard with gray walls and gray tiles on the back street of Jingshan in Kyoto, Feng Sizhe stood behind his grandfather and saw the old man Deguoen, who was later known as the chief of the Southern Tour of Reform and Opening Up of the Republic.

Just like what we have seen on TV before, Comrade Deguoen was not tall and had a kind smile on his face. The moment he saw Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Sizhe appear, he looked over here and gave them a very warm smile.

Seeing the old leader smiling at him, Zhao Mingyuan hurried over and stretched out his hands from a distance, "Old leader, are you...are you okay?"

Although Zhao Mingyuan was fearless and even nicknamed Crazy Zhao, his respect or admiration for Comrade Deguoen was unparalleled. In the past few years, due to different political philosophies, his relationship with the old leader became distant. It had been years since he last saw the old leader, so he was very happy and excited to see him today.

"Haha, Happy New Year, Xiao Zhao. You seem to be in good spirits and can still devote your energy to revolutionary work." When he saw Zhao Mingyuan, his little guard back then, running towards him, he happily extended a hand.

Being able to have Deguoen extend his arm before anyone arrived was already a very high standard. Even those in the core might not be able to receive such treatment. Zhao Mingyuan was even more excited. He shook the old leader's hand and didn't want to separate. Tears could not stop flowing from his eyes. Zhao Mingyuan didn't know how many years he hadn't cried. He thought he would never cry again in this life, but when he saw the white hair on the old leader's head, he couldn't control his tears and let them flow.

"Hey, it's New Year's Day, don't cry, laugh. The future of the country is promising, we should see more hope for the future, instead of always reminiscing about the past life, otherwise how can human beings make progress." Deguo En certainly understood Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts. Speaking of which, Zhao Mingyuan was also seen by him entering the revolutionary team and growing up. He also knew Zhao Mingyuan's personality. Except for his quick temper, bad temper, and sometimes not thinking fast enough, he was still very good. At least he was very simple, without so many twists and turns in his heart, and was willing to shed his blood and life for the stability and prosperity of the country. Such people are good, and are what Deguo En admires.

Feng Sizhe, who was not far away, was also deeply moved when he saw the two old men standing there reminiscing about the past. What happened to the leaders of the country? They are also human beings, and they also have the feelings of ordinary people and miss the old times. As leaders, they even pay more attention to feelings than ordinary people, because the friendship and feelings that can be maintained in front of them are becoming less and less.

The two old men chatted for half an hour, and even talked a lot about the three major battles of the Liberation War. It was not until the health doctor came over and persuaded Comrade Deguoen to sit down that he smiled and said to Zhao Mingyuan: "See, there are a lot of people who can control me now, haha."

Zhao Mingyuan also noticed that the old leader was in a good mood today, so he laughed too, then turned around and called Feng Sizhe, who had been standing not far away. The main task today was to let the old leader accept his grandson. This good opportunity must not be missed. No one in the Republic has the authority of the old leader. If Feng Sizhe can get his affirmation, the future will be much easier.

Comrade Deguo En, with the help of the health doctor, sat on a bench in the courtyard. It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly. It was indeed a good thing to sit in the courtyard and receive the baptism of the warm sun. Sitting on the bench, Feng Sizhe began his first communication with Comrade Deguo En.
