Chapter 417 A Red Heart, Serving the Country and the Public! [Please Subscribe! Please Subscribe! ]

With his keen sense as a politician and diplomat, Red suddenly cleared the fog in his mind and understood Zhao Weihong's plan clearly!
However, before Red could speak, he tried to save the situation which was on the verge of collapse.

Anderson finally came to his senses and immediately spoke to Zhao Weihong in a domineering manner like a vulgar shrew.

"I hope you can represent your country and be responsible for what you say!"

"After the visit just now, I am more certain that letting you host the Military World Games and the Olympic Games is a ridiculous decision."

"I will definitely"

"Snapped!"

Seeing that his eyebrows were in a critical situation, Red couldn't stand Anderson's stupidity any longer, and immediately slapped him hard, so that Anderson would shut up immediately!

"Idiot! Shut up!"

"Don't you understand the current situation?"

Reid looked at Zhao Weihong with fearful eyes, secretly frightened by this young man who seemed harmless but was actually very cunning and scheming!
"What will you do? Announce your withdrawal from the Military World Games?"

Red suppressed his voice and almost dragged Anderson away from the crowd, as if he didn't want others to hear their conversation, or maybe he didn't want Anderson, such a stupid woman, to stay and continue to embarrass herself.

"If you're going to do that, then the media around the world won't have to worry about tomorrow's headlines."

"But that is definitely not the news that we are withdrawing from the Military Games. Rather, it is the news that you and I, who represent our country, have suddenly decided to withdraw from the Military Games after visiting the Yan Country's team!"

"Do you know what this reminds people of?"

Anderson's cheek was still burning with pain.

However, she no longer had the heart to argue with Red, or to worry about her wrinkled face.

Because Red's words had revealed to her a truth that was extremely fatal to her!

She seems to have messed up the job the Speaker gave her.
"After visiting the Yan Country team, we felt that our players were no match for them, so we chose to withdraw from the competition?"

The words fell.

Red looked at Anderson with a look that said, "It seems you are not hopelessly stupid."

"I have already warned you that you must be careful when dealing with Yan Nation, because they understand the art of politics far better than any of us."

"Don't even think that your methods can control Yan Country!"

"Didn't the people who trained you tell you?"

"This country never compromises on matters of principle!"

Listening to Red's half-warning, half-pleased words.

Anderson no longer had the arrogance he had before, and only deep fear remained in his heart. He was terrified of what would happen to him next!
If Anderson's superior was someone like Red, he might consider Anderson's identity as a lady, behave like a gentleman, and not care too much about her foolish behavior caused by being blinded by interests.

But the speaker, who is also a woman, does not need to consider these issues.

And Anderson knew very well that the reason why the Speaker was called an "old witch" by countless people was because of her inhumane and cruel methods when punishing her subordinates!
Thinking of this, Anderson suddenly shuddered and immediately looked at Red, whom she had previously disdained, with a look as if asking for help.

"Maybe, things aren't that bad?"

“These are just our guesses.”

"If you are prepared to turn my previous fantasy into reality, then you can try it."

At this point, Red adopted a contemptuous tone and expressed it impatiently.

"What's more, the Speaker behind you does have great power."

"But he also does not have the power to make such a major decision without going beyond Mr. T."

"Wake up, this farce should end."

After saying that, Red was too lazy to waste any more time on Anderson and turned to look in the direction of the camp entrance.

The chaos he had just caused did not cause the slightest commotion among Zhao Weihong and the others.

Everyone seemed not to notice Red's action and just stood there quietly.

Zhao Weihong still had that signature, "harmless" smile on her face.

However, this smile did not make Red let down his guard at all. Instead, it ignited an emotion in his heart that was almost like "fighting intention"!

Zhao Weihong.
I kept this name firmly in my mind.

Reid decided that he would investigate this young man who suddenly appeared when he returned, and it was also necessary to set up a separate file for Zhao Weihong!

How old is Zhao Weihong?

This caused Anderson, who had been a politician for 20 years, to suffer a great loss. Even Red dared to confirm Zhao Weihong's plan at the last moment!

Although Red was very happy to see Anderson suffer a loss.

But deep down, he is still a "moralist" who loves his country.

It is both his duty and responsibility to investigate Zhao Weihong and remind other American officials to be more careful when dealing with Zhao Weihong.

More importantly, before today, Red. No, the entire American society knew nothing about Zhao Weihong!
A young talent with such outstanding performance has only entered the eyes of the Eagle Sauce today. This can explain a lot of problems!
In the dark.

Red suddenly had a premonition.

Whether it is him or the motherland behind him.

I will have a lot of dealings with this young man in the future.

"Mr. Ambassador, do you need any help?"

Seeing that Reid and the other man were reluctant to come over, Zhao Weihong took the initiative to step forward without even looking at Anderson, who was staring at him with resentful eyes but didn't dare to say a word.

If you don't see it with your own eyes.

Red found it hard to believe that the young man in front of him had treated Anderson with an almost "attentive" attitude just a few minutes ago.

But after achieving his goal, Anderson seemed to have turned into a piece of rotten and smelly garbage in Zhao Weihong's eyes, and Zhao Weihong was too lazy to even look at her.

And Zhao Weihong's tone was as sincere as ever.

It seemed that as long as Red nodded, he would help Red get dumbbells, javelins and other tools so that Red could beat Anderson, who was more trouble than help.
A dangerous young man.

With a fleeting thought in his mind, Reid met Zhao Weihong's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke with a double meaning.

“This was a very beneficial trip for me and I will remember it forever.”

When saying this, Reid deliberately used Chinese so that Zhao Weihong could feel the deeper meaning of his words more clearly.

However, Zhao Weihong seemed unaware of this, and instead expressed it happily.

"If you like it, Mr. Ambassador, I will arrange more similar activities and itineraries for you in the future."

"We guarantee that every time, Mr. Ambassador will feel that he has benefited a lot."

Red: “???”

"That's exactly what happened."

"I think Ambassador Red seemed to be very angry. He slapped the old woman in the face right in front of us."

"Deserve it!"

"Let her gossip and spread rumors all day long, and jump out to disgust us whenever there is nothing to do."

"I hope she'll learn her lesson this time!"

Using a very gloating tone, he explained the whole story to Deputy Chief Wei.

Deputy Chief Wei's personal staff officer had a big smile on his face, and it was obvious that he approved of Zhao Weihong's action this time.

"Commander, Wei Hong is really not simple."

"From the moment he decided to invite the American ambassador to visit us, we were already invincible."

"Even if they really decide to withdraw from the Military World Games, we will have sufficient excuses internationally."

"And now, Wei Hong has firmly grasped the initiative in our hands."

"If we don't want some unpleasant content to appear in the news, these clowns will have to keep quiet for a while!"

"Commander, why do I feel that if today's incident spreads, the comrades in the diplomatic department will come to you in a few days to ask for the person?"

Upon hearing this.

Deputy Chief Wei, whose old face was full of smiles and looked very pleased, immediately widened his eyes!
"Let's see who dares!"

"Wei Hong is my man, a member of the army!"

"I finally found such a talented person who can take on the responsibility. If anyone wants him, just take him?"

"I won't give face to anyone!"

"Even the Lord can't do that!"

Seeing his leader so excited, the staff officer thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and gave Zhao Weihong an "assist."

"Commander, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"Besides, don't you know Wei Hong's personality?"

"If someone wants to poach him from the army, Wei Hong will have to refuse without you even asking!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Deputy Chief Wei, who had been so aggressive just now, immediately revealed an expression that was mixed with three parts of complacency, three parts of relief, and three parts of pride, and nodded sincerely.

"That's true."

Seeing this, the staff officer just smiled and didn't say anything more.

before today.

In the mind of Deputy Chief Wei's close adviser, Zhao Weihong is just a young man who has performed well and has been recognized by the chief.

But after today.

The staff officer wanted to make friends with Zhao Weihong, otherwise he would not have helped Zhao Weihong to "improve his favor" in front of Deputy Chief Wei.

Because this staff officer, who has been with Deputy Chief Wei and witnessed countless big scenes, knows it very well.

After today.

In Deputy Chief Wei's mind, Zhao Weihong is no longer a "talented general" who charges into battle.

But he is a talented general who can guard a place and protect the country and the people!
After all, there are many generals who can fight.

But there are very few generals who are able to communicate with the outside world, are good at diplomacy, and can gain both "inside and outside"!
In addition, Zhao Weihong already has profound attainments in the military field.

If Zhao Weihong is not valued in the future, who else will be valued?

Think again about Deputy Chief Wei's "promise" after Zhao Weihong took on this task.

Maybe it won’t be long.

The cadres who are still holding the rank of trainees will become "colleagues" working with this staff officer, or even their leaders!
If you don't build good relationships now, what are you waiting for?

"Go, call Wei Hong to me!"

Hearing this, the staff officer was about to nod in agreement, but unexpectedly, there was a rhythmic knock on the office door.

"Dong dong dong."

No more, no less, exactly three tones.

What followed was Zhao Weihong's calm and confident voice.

"report!"

"Enter!"

"Commander, I'm here to report to you!"

Although he really wanted to maintain the dignity of a leader and elder in front of Zhao Weihong.

But after seeing Zhao Weihong, Deputy Chief Wei couldn't help but reveal a look mixed with kindness and relief, and greeted her very intimately.

"Wei Hong, come and sit down!"

Zhao Weihong, who still held the rank of major, heard this and did not refuse. He immediately walked to the side of Deputy Chief Wei and sat down gracefully.

Zhao Weihong had been to Deputy Chief Wei's home to celebrate the New Year.

If we remain polite and don't dare to go beyond the line after Deputy Chief Wei has spoken, it would be considered "being awkward".

After glancing at the military rank on Zhao Weihong's shoulder, Deputy Commander Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and patted Zhao Weihong on the shoulder.

"I've seen you wearing the rank of a soldier, and I've also seen you wearing the rank of a cadet."

"But the title of major is still more pleasing to the eye!"

Deputy Chief Wei's words were actually a very obscure hint.

Zhao Weihong didn't know the content of his conversation with the staff officer.

Deputy Commander Wei did not intend to tell Zhao Weihong now that he would graduate with the rank of major and deputy battalion commander in the future!

Just think of it as a surprise for Zhao Weihong.

However, Zhao Weihong, who was meticulous, still heard the hidden meaning behind Deputy Chief Wei's words, and the heart in his chest immediately began beating violently with ecstasy spreading throughout his body, as if he had been electrocuted!
really!

The chief is taking this opportunity to examine me!
Zhao Weihong tried to slow down her breathing as steadily as possible, as she didn't want Deputy Chief Wei to see her excitement.

It is said that the world is a huge makeshift team.

But Zhao Weihong truly felt that after this mission, he had grown a lot in terms of vision, knowledge, pattern and experience.

What Zhao Weihong gained in this short day was in no way less than what she had gained from one semester of hard study at USTC!

It seemed as if overnight, Zhao Weihong underwent a transformation from head to toe!

In Zhao Weihong's view at this moment, the things he cared about and pursued in the past were in contrast to the stage he was about to step onto.
It's not worth mentioning!
Although I will still feel excited that my wish has come true.

But Zhao Weihong was very clear.

Your future will never stop here!
Major is only the starting point of his military career!
Deputy Chief Wei’s expectation for him is to have the same military rank as Deputy Chief Wei!

An "ordinary" rank of major, deputy battalion commander.

It was not enough to make Zhao Weihong lose his composure in front of Deputy Chief Wei.

Zhao Weihong slowly exhaled and finally calmed down. He did not mention the matter of military rank. Instead, he spoke to Deputy Chief Wei in a "business as usual" tone.

"Commander, this is how the mission went."

However, Zhao Weihong had only said half of his words.

Deputy Chief Wei raised his hand and interrupted with a smile.

"You don't need to tell me more about these things!"

"I just need to know that you have taken care of things, that's enough!"

"But, old man, there is one thing I really want to ask you."

"After going through this, do you have any feelings?"

Deputy Chief Wei hit the nail on the head.

After this incident, Zhao Weihong really had a lot of ideas.

After silently organizing his words in his mind, Zhao Weihong expressed the insights that touched him the most in the most concise way possible.

"Many times, personal interests and national interests are different, or even conflicting."

"As soldiers who are supposed to defend the country, we should pay special attention to this."

"That's right!"

The words fell.

The approval in Deputy Chief Wei's eyes suddenly became stronger.

Because this is exactly what he hopes Zhao Weihong will realize through this mission!

"As a soldier, especially a general, you must always have a very clear understanding of the situation in your area of ​​jurisdiction!"

"But the situation is changing rapidly."

"More importantly, the situation is determined by human will!"

Speaking of which.

The staff officer who had just quietly left came back with a pot of tea.

After placing the teapot and the scalded cup in front of Zhao Weihong and Deputy Chief Wei, the staff officer tactfully withdrew.

Zhao Weihong was also very sensible and poured a cup of tea for Deputy Chief Wei.

In the light tea fragrance and the rising mist.

Deputy Chief Wei's instruction to Zhao Weihong continues.

"Wei Hong, in the future, you may encounter many situations like today."

"It is clear that maintaining the status quo on the border is the best option that serves the interests of both countries."

"But there are still people who take risks and try to provoke fights for their own interests!"

"At times like this, what is tested is the commander's determination and brains!"

"We need to quickly determine whether this sudden situation is an unannounced attack by the enemy or a desperate move by a small number of people."

"And the subsequent treatment methods require even more attention to timing!"

Hearing this, Zhao Weihong subconsciously tensed up his body, looking extremely focused, afraid of missing even a single word.

He is very clear.

This is Deputy Commander Wei, imparting to him his life's ups and downs and his experiences, and more importantly, teaching him "the way to be a commander!"

Looking at Zhao Weihong's "hungry" expression, Deputy Chief Wei smiled secretly in his heart, and what he said became more in-depth and straightforward.

"We must maintain our bottom line and not give in on matters of principle!"

"We also need to prevent the situation from escalating and prevent those who want to stir up trouble from achieving their ambitions."

"More importantly, you have to keep a clear head."

"They say soldiers are born to fight."

"But in many cases, the outbreak of a war, even a small-scale local war, is not in the interests of the country."

Zhao Weihong had never seen Deputy Chief Wei look so serious.

Especially in the words spoken by Deputy Chief Wei, there was a hint of admonition, or even a warning!

"Wei Hong, I have two words for you. I hope you can remember them well."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Deputy Chief Wei held his shoulders and their eyes met.

"The major event of the country lies in the sacrifice and the army."

"He who is good at fighting has no great achievements."

"Only when you understand the true meaning of these two sentences, will you have the qualifications to sit in charge and protect the country and the border!"

Young soldiers, eager to establish merit.

The simplest and most direct way for a soldier to establish merit is through a war.

And this statement is not only applicable to "young people."

As time went by, a problem that was not a problem gradually emerged in the Yan State army, which had enjoyed peace for a long time.

That is the new generation of soldiers like Zhao Weihong's age, who have no practical experience.

When Wang Chuan and his group of soldiers who were the last to experience the war retired, Zhao Weihong's generation took over the responsibility.

no doubt.

Whoever has practical experience will have an advantage in future development.

Of course, given Yan State's policy, it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke a war.

But what if the enemy takes a risk?

Zhao Weihong’s words: “Individual interests and national interests are different and even conflicting.”

In fact, it not only applies to the United States, but also to possible future enemies of the Yan country.

Everyone knows that peaceful development is the best situation for Yan Country.

You can face disputes initiated by a small number of enemies, as well as the temptation to achieve great things.

Whether one can keep one's original intention and put the interests of the country first becomes a difficult test for commanders.

It is to stop at the first try and calm the situation after defending the bottom line.

Or they add fuel to the fire and try to use it to gain opportunities to achieve success.

It all depends on the commander's thoughts.

“We never fear war.”

"But we never fight meaningless wars!"

At this point, Deputy Chief Wei suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Zhao Weihong in a very serious tone!
"Comrade Zhao Weihong!"

"When you take up a commanding position in the future, do you want to be the lamentable Li Guang, or the anonymous Cheng Bushi?"

Faced with Deputy Chief Wei's almost "wake-up call"-like questioning, Zhao Weihong finally managed to stand up.

No need to think, no need to think.

Zhao Weihong immediately gave a response that came from her heart.

"Chief, although Li Guang is very famous."

"But as a soldier, I still prefer the title of 'undefeated general'."

"Despite this title, Cheng Buzhi failed to leave behind a tragic story that is as popular as Li Guang and is still lamented by countless people thousands of years later."

"But I think a qualified soldier should be like this."

The conversation between Zhao Weihong and Deputy Chief Wei actually contains an anecdote that is rarely known to ordinary people.

General Li Guang fought wars all his life, and even left behind the story of "Li Guang was difficult to be promoted", which made countless people sigh.

However, Cheng Buzhi, who was a general at the same time as him, is little known to the world.

Because Cheng Buzhi did not have many spectacular deeds, and he had never even fought with the enemy, he only left behind the reputation of "never being defeated in his life of military service."

The reason why he rarely fought with the enemy was because the enemy was afraid of his reputation.

When they heard that the enemy general was Cheng Bushi, they would rather return empty-handed than fight him.

This is the most true portrayal of the fact that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

Zhao Weihong is a "moralist" just like Reid at heart.

The "Tao" that the two of them defended at the cost of their lives was their own motherland.

When personal interests conflicted with national interests, Red chose the latter without hesitation, even if it meant being exiled.

The same is true for Zhao Weihong.

If you have to make a choice between your own future and reputation in later generations, and the peace of your motherland and the people's well-being.

Zhao Weihong would choose the latter without hesitation.

A red heart, serving the country and the public.

That's it.

Looking at Zhao Weihong in front of him, his eyes were burning and his posture was as straight as a sword.

Deputy Chief Wei's old face showed an expression of relief.

At this moment, he was very pleased and honored.

Fortunately, he was not wrong about Zhao Weihong.

Fortunately, he has witnessed the transformation and growth of a "talented leader" who will take on important responsibilities in the future, and he will continue to witness it in the future!
It's to be expected.

When Zhao Weihong left the campus.

It won’t be long before those villains in the southwest, northwest and beyond the vast ocean in the south will be terrified by the three words “Zhao Weihong”!
