Lin Sanqi thought to himself that you are indeed relieved. It is equivalent to me, Lin Sanqi, paying for the support of these veterans. When the organization needs them in an emergency, they can be taken away directly.
By then, Lin Sanqi will be left with nothing.
However, Lin Sanqi knew that there would be local wars in the country in the next few decades.
For example, the war with India next year, but we spared them in the end and did not attack Delhi, so it did not require too much manpower deployment, and there was no need to recruit this "extra-staff army" from Hong Kong to participate.
The last time a large-scale rotation was needed was in the war against the Southern Monkeys that began in 1979. By then, the "extra-staff troops" of Hong Kong had grown old, most of them in their 50s and 60s, and their combat effectiveness had seriously declined. I believe there was no need to recall them.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi suddenly asked:
"Leader, you said these veterans are a bit old? How old are they? You're not going to send an old man here to me, are you? I don't run a nursing home, I wouldn't do that."
Leader Jing was so angry that he laughed and cursed angrily:
"Don't worry, they are all good soldiers who fought in the Korean War. Back then, they were around 20 years old and in their prime. Now, 10 years have passed and they are in their 30s. From a soldier's perspective, they are a bit older, but they have rich war experience and are recruited from Guangdong and Guangxi. There is absolutely no problem with their organization and discipline."
In his thirties?
Lin Sanqi was even more satisfied. He was still a little worried about the young man in his twenties. After all, Hong Kong is a world of flowers and willows. Young people are not determined in their determination. If they are seduced by money and women, they may be ruined.
You may even be bribed to become a traitor.
But they are in their thirties, still strong and experienced. Crucially, they are all married and have families, wives, children and grandchildren. Once people have concerns, they have leverage and will not act impulsively.
Moreover, as people from Guangdong and Guangxi, they have proven themselves with their combat effectiveness. Whether it is the great anti-Japanese 19th Route Army or the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers, they all roared in battle and none of them were cowards.
Lin Sanqi was very satisfied with the arrangement made by his superiors.
"Then, leader, how many veterans are you going to assign to me?"
Leader Jing asked in return, “How much do you need?”
Lin Sanqi thought about it but couldn't make up his mind. After all, he had no experience in this matter.
"Leader, how about this? We'll send 500 people first. Next year, when we're settled down, we'll send another 1,000 or 2,000 people. We'll discuss the details then."
Leader Jing wrote down a number in his notebook: 500 people, soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi, no older than 35 years old, married, and highly conscious.
"Okay, we'll send as many people as you want. There's no problem on our side."
In fact, the superiors were hoping that Lin Sanqi would ask for more retired soldiers, because after liberation, the country no longer had to fight wars and could start focusing on economic construction.
Over the years, more than one million troops have been gradually demobilized. It is a headache to resettle these people. After all, the country is in such a difficult situation, where will so many jobs come from?
But these people are meritorious officials of the Republic, and their superiors do not want to treat them unfairly.
Following Lin Sanqi is undoubtedly a good way out.
Even Mr. Huo of this era wouldn't dare to do that.
Now Lin Sanqi dared to take the initiative to offer it, and he had money to support himself. His superiors did not want to miss this opportunity. Of course, his superiors would not tell Lin Sanqi this.
Leader Jing didn't expect that the two sides could reach an agreement on all the terms so quickly, so he relaxed. As soon as he took out a cigarette, Lin Sanqi helped him light it in a servile manner.
"Comrade Sanqi, there's one last thing. It's best to keep your family's trip to Hong Kong a secret. Don't tell anyone, except for Dean Shen of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. We'll release the third round of city clearances later."
Your parents and brothers will be put on the clearance list, so leaving won't arouse suspicion. We will issue you a departure certificate, so your family can leave openly through the Luohu Port without having to risk crossing the sea."
Lin Sanqi suddenly thought of his father's doubts, so he asked another question:
"Boss, can you issue a multiple-entry pass to Hong Kong and Macau for my parents?"
Leader Jing was a little confused: "What pass? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Lin Sanqi realized that he had let the cat out of the bag again and quickly explained:
"My father said he didn't want to die in a foreign land. He wanted to visit relatives in the mainland frequently and be buried in the ancestral tomb after his death. So, can we please not cancel my parents' household registration in China for now and allow them to come home anytime, anywhere?"
Leader Jing was moved when he heard this:
"Okay, I'll keep this in mind and give you a satisfactory answer. Your Lin family is deeply concerned about the motherland, so how could we possibly drive you away? I hope that after your family goes to Hong Kong, they will also be true patriots of Hong Kong and contribute to the reunification of the motherland."
After coming out of Leader Jing's office, Lin Sanqi got in the car and rushed home.
He kept thinking about a question while driving.
If he hadn't traveled to this era, would the Lin family's true youngest son have been found? Would Lin Kushen or the Lin family have survived the storm safely?
Now the historical turning point of the Lin family has appeared, and it was he, the fake son, who fought for the Lin family. Lin Sanqi was happy about this from the bottom of his heart.
Unconsciously, he had already put himself into the role of the youngest son of the Lin family.
That night, in Dongmianhua Hutong, at Lin Sanqi's home.
All the Lin family members arrived tonight, and everyone was sitting at the dining table, except Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen, who were running around the house and having a lot of fun.
The cool air from the air conditioner in the room made everyone feel comfortable, especially Lin Duzhong and his wife Pei Xuehua.
This was the first time that Lin Sanqi invited them to dinner after installing air conditioning at home. Lin Sanqi did not want his second brother and his wife to know too much and was a little wary of them.
But today the cards are clear, and there is no need to be on guard. We are brothers after all, even if it is just to avoid making our parents sad.
Lin Duzhong sat in his seat, looking at the air conditioner opposite him and sighed:
"Dad, Mom, this air conditioner is really great. When we were in Huadu, I remember we had one at home. My eldest brother, my youngest brother, and I would stay in the air conditioner all day long during the summer."
Lin Sanqi thought, "Wow, the Lin family had air conditioning before liberation? Such a big capitalist has a very bad conscience. Being rich is the original sin."
Lin Gancao also sighed:
"Yes, at that time, our family not only had air conditioning, but also a refrigerator. Qi Xiangli from the Chinese Medicine Clinic even went to the ice cream company to wholesale popsicles for us. Mom didn't allow us to eat too much, and it was my little brother who stole the most."
Lin Duzhong also laughed out loud:
"My little brother ate too many popsicles and got a stomachache. He cried and yelled at us not to eat all the popsicles and to leave some for him. Do you remember that, little brother?"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, "I don't remember a thing, but I'm afraid of being exposed if I say too much," so he pointed to his head.
"My brain was injured, and I can't remember anything from the past. Oh, the braised shark's fin is here, everyone hurry and eat it while it's hot."
At this time, Pan Ye came in with a big hot bowl, and Lin Sanqi quickly stood up to help carry it over.
"Come on, let's try this shark fin. How does it taste? Xiao Yezi has been stewing it for hours, using the method we use in the south."
When Lin Duzhong and Pei Xuehua heard that they could eat shark fin, their mouths watered and they immediately stood up to watch the fun.
Sister-in-law Fu Muxiang chased the two children and asked them to wash their hands before eating.
At this time, Jin Caifeng also came in with a bowl of food. Seeing the family having fun together, she felt so happy.
"Come on, come on, everyone, try this pork offal porridge. This pork offal was obtained by Qizi, it's very fresh, and it's made from Tibetan fragrant pigs. Don't miss it."
A table full of Huadu-style delicacies, coupled with the cool air conditioning, made this family dinner particularly lively.
Lin Sanqi waited until everyone had almost finished eating before he coughed lightly a few times.
"Mom, eldest brother and his wife, second brother and his wife, I called you here because I discussed it with Dad. Now there is an opportunity. Our superiors have allowed our family to settle in Hong Kong, and I wanted to seek everyone's opinions."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience, except Lin Kucan and the two children, looked up in shock.
Jin Caifeng couldn't believe her ears and grabbed her youngest son's hand:
"Let our whole family go to Hong Kong? How is that possible? It wasn't allowed in 1949, so how can it be allowed now?" (End of this chapter)
