"I'm still single" Zhang Tao wasn't a joking character at all. He hadn't seen him for so many years, and when he faced each other suddenly, he was not only restrained but also a little nervous. He didn't even recognize this joke that was obviously used to ease the atmosphere. really answered.
"I didn't prepare so many red envelopes. If we don't open our mouths, we can still be friends! Come on, let's talk in the tent, don't let the children freeze." Fortunately, Hong Tao is better at dealing with such occasions, and he said haha ??and sent a few people together. Let in the yurt.
In order not to disturb the normal business of the crossroads market, and to make security work easier, Hong Tao did not choose to receive guests at home, let alone go to the middle of the intersection to have a big banquet. Instead, he temporarily set up a felt tent on the roadside on the east side of the market. living room.
At this time, the charcoal basin has been lit in the felt tent, blocking the biting cold wind outside, and there is a chimney-like air exchange vent on the top, whether it is the waste gas of charcoal fire or cigarette smoke, it can be discharged quickly with the heat, without affecting the children health.
Following the deployment of the military and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, government officials headed by Randy arrived one after another. Hong Tao's ass hardly ever sat down. He had just welcomed a wave of guests in, and the greetings hadn't been finished yet. The next wave came again, and it didn't stop until the sun was shining in the sky.
The next part was even more troublesome. At noon, we arranged hand pilaf, roasted ox head and horse meat feast, all of which were delicacies from Xinjiang and provinces, and they were all hard dishes. Such a tough dish coincided with the festive season, and it was shameful not to drink two glasses, so the scene of toasting according to seniority was staged again.
Hong Tao was not only the oldest in this group of people, but also had the highest seniority. In front of him, no one wanted to compete with his position, so he naturally became the target of everyone's toast.
But this time he didn't lose his face, and the glass of wine was dry, and it almost meant that no one would persuade him to stop drinking. A meal lasted until after three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was considered as much to be able to say three whole sentences with everyone. In this kind of occasion where people talk a lot, there is no way to talk about serious matters, it is purely entertainment.
However, there are still gains. Although the officials did not say anything, they showed their attitude with practical actions. Hong Tao is one of his own, not hostile. With this consensus, it will be easier for everyone to communicate on many things in the future. As long as you are willing to communicate and have communication, the conflict will not be too intense and it will be easier to control.
After the guests left, Bungy allowed people to come in to clean up the mess. He knelt down on the carpet by himself, with his back straight and his eyes fixed on him. He didn't make a sound for a long time, but from time to time his eyes turned to Hong Tao who was leaning on the soft cushion to sober up.
"Did you eat something indigestible?" Hong Tao didn't notice anything unusual about Bungy at first, but after a few minutes he realized that this one was a little too quiet. He squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a few minutes to confirm that something was wrong.
"I just found out today that you saved their lives!" Bungy's body was fine, but there was a lot of fluctuation in his heart.
There are not many rumors about Hong Tao's past in the safe zone, and the current government is not willing to publicize the history of the rescue team and the Renaissance Alliance. Except for a few people who have experienced it, it is rarely mentioned.
Most of the versions he knows are from Hu Yang, Wang Gang, Tong Limin, Zhang Ke and others, and they are just a few words. Apart from the positions they held and the first wave of zombies, there are no specific deeds. .
But after listening to the chats of the guests today, he finally understood what Hong Tao did and what he gave up. Putting aside whether he understands it or not, he is a little overwhelmed by the fact that he has become the savior of so many high-level alliance officials.
"If this is the calculation, the tens of thousands of people in the Yinning base were all saved by the Redeemer, and your life was also saved by Zhao Bin. Stop thinking about these useless things, take the time to rest, and have a meal at night. Where is this? It's a festival, it's purely desperate, if there are ten Spring Festivals every year, I'm afraid I'll die of drinking if I don't live for five years!"
It is a good thing to be in awe of his subordinates, but Hong Tao is not used to it. This may be closely related to the living environment when I was a child. Instead of the pleasure of surrendering, I feel very uncomfortable. Even though he has conquered many people in these few lifetimes, he still cannot fully adapt.
The guests at night may not have as much power as at noon, but their status is not bad at all. Liu Quanyou, Shabalin, Zhao Bin, and Anna led more than a dozen directors into the yurt one after another.
Hong Tao knew most of these people, except for the few people he was very familiar with, there were also the management of the Hebei and Shandong survivor groups who took the lead in defecting. They are still serving as directors, and the longest has been three consecutive terms. But in terms of political views, he is definitely at odds with Chu Qiu and Gao Tianyi.
"Wang Dalin, I had the honor of chatting with Chairman Hong on the radio, but I heard his voice but didn't see him. Today is my luck!" But one of them, Hong Tao, didn't have the slightest impression until he came up to say hello.
"Wang, Captain Wang, right!" Finally remembered, isn't this the big boss of the Four Provinces Alliance?Well, it is said that he is an active military officer, and his rank is not low. We talked on the radio at the beginning, mainly on how to resist the tide of zombies, and there were consensus and differences.
Wang Dalin insisted that artillery can play a decisive role. As long as there is the assistance of reconnaissance planes, living corpses can be wiped out cleanly within a range of tens of kilometers to several kilometers.
Facts have proved that the artillery is really powerful with the assistance of the reconnaissance aircraft, but its power is greatly reduced at night. Although the cannonballs can still blow up a large number of zombies to pieces and make them stagger, in the end, they still cannot match the absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Without the air force support of the Renaissance Alliance, it would definitely be a huge tragedy.
But not long after, he feigned death and left the Revival Alliance, and never had any interaction with this stubborn and tough officer. But it's not all a bad thing. I only have a love for the four-provincial alliance for rescue, not for annexation.
"Regimental staff I still remember the content of the conversation back then, and now I feel a little ashamed when I think about it. If I could have listened to your opinion earlier, so many people would not have died in vain, but the ending was exactly the same."
After so many years, the status and status have also undergone considerable changes. Wang Dalin's temper seems to be not as aggressive as before.
"Let's let the past go. There's no right or wrong in this kind of thing. It's better to look forward" Whether it's true feelings or false feelings, Hong Tao is not easy to take up this topic, and he used his spare time while laughing. Light glanced at Liu Quan.
"Commander Wang, to be honest, I didn't expect you to come today. The welcome is of course very welcome. It's just that disputes are easy to happen here, so you must be prepared!"
Seeing that Liu Quanyou shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know the purpose of this person's visit, he shook the index fingers of both hands, indicating that this person was not from his own country and did not belong to the Reform Party, so Hong Tao put away his overly polite attitude and planned to Have a serious talk with Wang Dalin to find out why he is here.
"Chairman Hong may not know that I am in charge of the Disciplinary Committee of the Council. I have offended quite a few people. I haven't paid attention to this little trouble. I came to the self-administered area twice a few days ago. After looking at it, I have learned a lot, and I have a lot of feelings.¡±
Hong Tao's attitude changed, and Wang Dalin's attitude changed accordingly. There was a hint of straightforwardness and boldness in his words, and he didn't take the troubles that most people worried about at all.
"Oh? I would like to hear the details Please, let's sit down and chat, and taste the characteristics of the Three Forts, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces." Hong Tao already knew about Wang Dalin's private visit to the self-administered area on Weibo from Feihu Sun Yes, at this time I just heard how the owner explained.
"I don't know much about the economy and people's livelihood, but after seeing the situation in the self-administered area, I still have some feelings. I have to say that Chairman Hong is indeed outstanding in this area. The problem of resettlement of refugees that has been plagued by the government has been in your hands. It doesn't seem to be very difficult.
? Then I don¡¯t understand. It was you who patiently persuaded me to cooperate with the Revival Alliance with the Alliance of Four Provinces. The main point is that there are more people and more strength, which is conducive to cleaning up zombies and resuming production as soon as possible.
Now that this goal has been achieved, why do you want to establish a self-management area alone, demonstrate to the government with practical actions, and show that you are different everywhere. Shouldn't we come up with a good solution to the refugee problem and benefit all safe areas under the overall planning of the government? "
As expected of being an artilleryman, he also served as the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, known as the Living Hades. Wang Dalin didn't have the slightest timidity because he was in the self-administered area, and he shot at the depths of Hong Tao's soul with a saturated shot.
