Chapter 170 Congratulations to the President
At that time, there was no elevator in the hotel, so everyone quickly walked up the stairs. They saw Fubao holding the unconscious Lao Zhang, standing there at a loss.
Luo Jiu: "What's going on?"
Fubao: "I'm thinking of finding a room to put him down."
"Then what?"
"The doors were all locked, so I opened this room."
Fubao pointed to the cleaning room filled with rags, mops, and buckets, and said, "I opened it and saw there was no bed. I was about to come out when I heard someone calling me. I turned around in a hurry and forgot that there was someone else between us, so..."
She gestured at the narrow door and Lao Zhang's head, and it was probably that the two things collided heavily.
Lao Zhang fainted at that moment, but Liu Zi was very calm, "It's okay, my father always did this to me when I was a kid, and I always do this too."
Luo Jiu took a deep breath and thought to himself, your child is really filial. A child’s broken arm can heal quickly, but an old man may die if he falls.
She thought about it but didn't dare to say it. She just said, "You have experience. Stay with your father until he wakes up. Then go back and persuade him not to be angry. This is an accident and no one wants it to happen."
After a while, the doctor came and said that there was nothing wrong and that I would be fine after I woke up.
I don’t know how Liuzi persuaded him, but at dinner time that night, Lao Zhang came with a bump on his head.
There were five or six tables of people sitting in the banquet hall at that time, including important figures of the new government and representatives of warlords from all over the country.
Luo Jiu smiled and poured a glass of wine to apologize to Lao Zhang.
Old Zhang's expression softened a bit, "It's normal for a child to be clumsy. I'm not that petty."
Luo Jiu looked at his legs and said, "I wanted to make up for the sworn brother ceremony now, but your legs are not convenient, so forget it."
Lao Zhang's eyes lit up, "No, my leg is fine, I can worship now."
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He thought Luo Jiu was going to deny the matter, but when he heard that she was willing, and in front of so many people, he had to accept it to give him face.
He immediately started to untie the bandages himself, calling out to Liuzi repeatedly, "Go, go, find some incense sticks and the statue of the god. How can we swear brotherhood without the statue of the god?"
Luo Jiu winked, and Chen Zhi and Fu Bao followed Liu Zi out.
After a while, the three of them came back and Lao Zhang finally finished removing the bandage.
Luo Jiu held incense with him and swore in front of the statue, "God is witness that we two are brother and sister. From now on, we will be loyal to each other and share happiness and hardship together."
Just as Luo Jiu was about to kowtow, Lao Zhang suddenly said, "This statue is wrong! We should worship Guan Erye when we swear brotherhood. Who is this deity?"
Luo Jiu glanced at the guilty eyes of the three people and said hurriedly: "Brother, don't be picky. No matter which kind of immortal he is, since he is a god, he must be an immortal who has achieved enlightenment. He can just be a witness for us."
Old Zhang thought so too and did not pursue the matter any further.
The two men kowtowed three times, and the brotherhood ceremony was completed.
That night, everyone celebrated the establishment of the new government in advance and drank some wine in the joy.
When the show was over, Luo Jiu couldn't help but look at the statue again. She also felt that something was not right. This was not an ordinary Bodhisattva.
She quietly asked Shen Zhi: "Where did you find this?"
Chen Zhi tried to suppress her laughter, “Where can we find the statue in this place?
After asking all the hotel staff, I finally found the Kitchen God enshrined in the kitchen..."
Luo Jiu held his forehead with his hand, not knowing for a moment whether it was ridiculous for him to become sworn brothers with Lao Zhang, or more ridiculous for him to worship the Kitchen God.
She slept soundly that night. When she woke up, Chen Zhi immediately brought people in and read out the procedures of the inauguration ceremony to her.
This was the first important ceremony after the expulsion of foreign enemies and the unification of the country. Both Mr. and Comrade Quansheng thought it should be a grand ceremony and prepared for it for several days.
There are many links. The first is Luo Jiu's swearing-in ceremony. After that, she will begin to exercise presidential powers to commend and award medals to heroes in the war. Finally, there will be a simple military parade to showcase the new weapons recently produced by the military factory.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Luo Jiu climbed up the tower and, in front of everyone, placed his right hand on the newly revised constitution and solemnly swore: "I swear in the name of the President of the Republic of China that I will abide by the Constitution of China, safeguard national sovereignty, serve the people, be loyal to the country, and do my utmost to seek happiness for the people. I will never waver."
Thunderous applause suddenly broke out all around, and countless voices were saying the same thing: "Congratulations, President!"
Zhong Jialing quietly took out her mobile phone and recorded this precious scene.
Luo Jiu smiled and shook hands with the people around her. Feng Qi shook her hand vigorously, "Congratulations, President!"
Luo Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "Congratulations to you too, Commander-in-Chief Feng."
Luo Jiu took office as the President and Feng Qi officially took over as the commander-in-chief of the army.
According to previous arrangements, Cheng Yaoyao served as vice president together with her husband and Comrade Quan Sheng.
Zhong Jialing served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and handled all foreign affairs.
The Thorn Special Forces were awarded medals for their outstanding performance in many battles.
Most of them have the rank of major general, and the lowest rank is colonel.
Zhu Jiumei was awarded the rank of general, the highest-ranking general among those awarded medals that day.
When all the ceremonies of the day were over, it was almost afternoon and the crowd gradually dispersed. Only the eternal sun shone on this land.
Luo Jiu sat on the president's desk and signed the first presidential order to execute Yuan Datou and the emperor they had captured.
After a while, the secretary brought news of a local emergency.
"President, Fujian Province reports that at about 1:00 p.m., our fishermen were fishing normally in our waters when they collided with a Fei Navy patrol boat. Two of our fishermen died, one was injured, and five others were arrested."
Luo Jiu nodded and said, "Let the officials of Fujian Province comfort the families of the fishermen and ask them to wait patiently. I will seek justice for them."
After the secretary left, Luo Jiu immediately called Feng Qi, "How many troops can you mobilize in one day?"
Feng Qi: "The surrendered soldiers of warlords from various places, the newly recruited soldiers, and the mobile garrisons, add up to about 700,000 people, what's wrong?"
Luo Jiu: "First transfer 200,000 troops to Fujian Province to prepare for the battle against Fei."
Soon, the door of the president's office was knocked on by Mr. and Comrade Quansheng in turn.
Mr.: "President, why are we going to war again?"
Luo Jiu: "Don't worry, we won't fight on our soil, and it won't hinder our economic development and production construction."
Mr.: "They injured our fishermen, so we should ask them to release our personnel and compensate the families of the deceased. Why did they have to go to such a serious extent as to start a war? Shouldn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be asked to negotiate?"
Zhong Jialing just came in, and Luo Jiu asked her, "I want to fight Fei, what do you think as the Minister of Foreign Affairs?"
Zhong Jialing thought for a moment, "I will have someone send a letter to Fei State, asking them to surrender immediately, cede territory and pay compensation, otherwise they will die miserably."
The gentleman sighed and went out, and after a while Comrade Quansheng came in.
Luo Jiu was tidying up the materials on the table and looked up at him. "Are you here to persuade me not to mobilize the army as well?"
