Ling Yue didn't have any other considerations, she simply didn't want Xiangzhong and the others to worry. Unfortunately, these people were frightened by Wang Zhijun's situation and no one told the doctor.

Time is like the sun that rises every day, the same one but in a different position. In the blink of an eye, Ling Yue has been peaceful for more than a month.

January 6, 1960, was Laba Festival. Thanks to advance preparations, this year's Laba Festival, though without a grand ceremony, offered hope this winter.

Ling Yue sat at the desk in the room, typed the last character, and looked at the densely packed text. The hydropower station plan was completed.

She looked up at the sun covered by thick clouds outside, and felt a little dazed.

Ling Yue rubbed his temples, thinking about the original direction. If there was no big difference, then the military alliance endorsed by the island incident that had occurred would be about to begin.

While thinking, the four big words "development plan" were listed at the top.

The military alliance not only restricts Longguo militarily, but also involves a series of aspects such as economy, politics, culture, etc.

Development planning is essential. On the road of scientific research, support from all aspects is needed, such as policy support, talent openness, industrial collaboration, etc. It is absolutely not advisable to work in isolation.

Ling Yue was busy working, but the Forbidden City was peaceful.

The reason is simple: this year's winter is not as harsh as they imagined, and that's the good news.

Xiangzhong sat on the sofa. He had returned to the capital last month and brought back this good news: "Food has been centrally distributed, and the commune is expected to be listed in early March."

Zirun smiled and said, "Okay, as long as we can get through this, there's nothing to be afraid of. Right now, things are difficult, so we can only pool the nation's capabilities and allocate them well, so as to reduce casualties."

Xiangzhong nodded. Yes, if it weren’t for Lingyue, there would probably be corpses everywhere. It’s just a little harder to endure now, but they won’t starve to death.

"By the way, you are going to the Northeast this time not just to check the harvest, right?" Zirun said, and suddenly asked about this.

"I really can't hide it from you," Xiangzhong said with a smile. He and Zirun have been partners for so many years that he can guess some of their every move.

"Ling Yue has been targeted this time, and it's her classmate. I went there for two reasons: first, I really need to check on the upland rice harvest, and second, I want to investigate this group of forces."

As he spoke, Xiangzhong recalled what happened some time ago. The people behind the scenes were targeting more than just Ling Yue. There was Qian Zilin in the capital, Deng He in Qinghai, Zhu Rongfang in Jiuquan, and Pan Fu in Fujian. These people were all their targets.

Thinking about it, Xiangzhong smiled and said, "If I move and appear within their range, they will naturally shift their focus and keep their eyes on me. Even if they don't do anything, they will be exposed."

This is the best way. Otherwise, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, making it difficult to guard against them completely.

Zirun leaned on the armrest of the sofa, pointed at Xiangzhong, and said, "You, even though you're old, you're still like your youth. Lingyue hasn't recovered from the blow of Qian Zilin using himself as bait. Now you do it again, be careful that she will take her bag back to the Fifth Courtyard."

This girl looks easy to talk to, but in fact, once her bottom line is touched, she will not give face to anyone, just like Wang Zhijun.

It is obvious that Wang Zhijun did nothing, he just concealed some things, but to Ling Yue, being unfaithful once is a crime that will never be tolerated. Now I heard that Wang Zhijun was hit hard by this.

"Hahaha, I know she doesn't have a temper when it comes to major issues," Xiangzhong smiled.

"This time we've got a good harvest. We've cleaned up the Fifth Academy and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Some of them were hidden very deeply, and some were exposed during the trip to the Northeast, including some from that faction."

No one knows Ling Yue's temper better than him, but for the sake of more people, this risk has to be taken. However, the outcome is good. Now the Fifth Academy, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and various bases are temporarily safe. In the short term, these people will not make any big moves.

Zirun didn't say anything. If those people outside could take risks, why couldn't those of them sitting in the safe zone?

"Well, we can speed up the process for those people."

Xiangzhong nodded. Some things didn't need to be explained too clearly. The other party would naturally know what they were. This was a tacit understanding cultivated over half a lifetime. "I understand."

Zirun continued, "Once the situation in the country is cleared up, we'll arrange a medal ceremony for Ling Yue, Qian Zilin, Zhao Shi, Zhu Rongfang, and the others. We can't let those fighting on the front lines down."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Xiangzhong's face froze obviously. This matter had been weighing on his mind for a long time, but unfortunately the timing was not right and the situation was not good.

Finally, he could only sigh: "It may take a few more years, but sooner or later you will be able to stand on it, don't worry."

Zirun didn't say anything after hearing this. The West and the island countries were taking frequent actions, and it was still very difficult for them to cope with them. Especially when the country was hit by natural disasters, they could only take it step by step.

Thinking about it, Zirun changed the subject and said, "Today is Laba Festival. Lingyue hasn't celebrated this yet, right? Take her out for a walk when you go back and let her experience it."

"I heard that this girl is on vacation, but she never stops. The people around her can't control her."

Xiangzhong smiled and shook his head:

"This girl is just like that. It's unrealistic to expect Zhang Jia to control her. Fortunately, she lives in my house, so Xiaoying can keep an eye on her at any time. However, she also has to go to work during the day, so Lingyue won't take care of her when no one is around. Don't worry, Xiaoying has made all the arrangements."

Zirun said, "That's good. Besides, she's twenty years old this year, twenty-one in lunar age. We should take care of her in her life."

As soon as these words came out, Xiangzhong didn't even want to talk about it: "Everything else is easy to talk about, but this one is really hard to handle. I mentioned it last time, but this little mouth kept chattering and I couldn't get a word in. How can we talk about it?"

Zirun was unaware of Lingyue's power. After all, Lingyue was very easy to talk to in front of him. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Hey, we can't give up on this matter. I think Comrade Mo Ran is a good person. You can take him home to visit more often and get to know him better. Isn't love something that comes from getting to know him?"

Xiangzhong now wants to hold his forehead with his hands. This job is really more difficult than standing in front of the ugly diplomat and arguing with him.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. It just so happens that I asked Mo Ran to train two assistants for Ling Yue some time ago. Now I have an excuse to let them get used to each other."

Zirun smiled and said, "That's right. Also, there's been a lot of activity over there in Chou Country lately. They're trying to organize a military alliance, and we must oppose it. If Old Chou stations his troops across the sea, we'll be at the mercy of anyone with a knife at our throats."

Xiangzhong nodded. This military alliance between Lao Chou and Lao Gui was very tricky. This treaty was revised based on the one in 1957 and was almost impossible to stop.

This military alliance is just the first step, and the subsequent actions are really hard to guard against.
