When I walked into the room, the old man was sitting at his desk as usual, looking down at the documents in front of him.
"Grandpa Zhou!" Xu Jianguo shouted.
The old man looked up and saw that it was Xu Jianguo. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Here?"
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo agreed with a smile.
The old man took off his reading glasses and put them on the table, then stood up and led Xu Jianguo to sit on the sofa.
"A few days ago, I heard from your Uncle Wei that their equipment upgrade is nearing completion?"
"Well, we can start testing in another week."
"Very good, keep it up!"
"yes!"
The old man nodded and pushed a file bag on the coffee table in front of Xu Jianguo. He said, "Here, this is your admission letter from the National University of Defense Technology. I didn't fill in your major, but it lists the majors currently offered. Just pick the one you're interested in and fill it in."
Xu Jianguo was delighted and immediately opened the file bag, taking out the admission letter and major list inside.
Looking at Xu Jianguo's happy expression, the old man also showed a kind smile on his face.
Xu Jianguo put the notice aside, picked up the list of majors and started to look at it. After reading it over and over again twice, his eyes stopped on the words "mechanical engineering".
"Have you made your choice?" asked the old man.
"Well, I chose mechanical engineering!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
"Okay, just fill it out yourself. Then have your institute issue a letter of introduction. Take it, along with your admission letter and your military officer ID, and report for duty. The time for registration is written on the notice, so don't miss it!"
"Don't worry, there will be no delay!"
"Xiao Wen's due date is September, right?"
"Yes, late September!"
"Okay, after she finishes her confinement, I'm going to transfer her to the Ministry of Commerce. Talk to her when you get back."
Xu Jianguo was slightly stunned, a little surprised, but he did not ask, but nodded and agreed directly: "Okay!"
The old man naturally saw the doubt in his heart and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask why she was transferred to the department so suddenly?"
Xu Jianguo thought about it, shook his head and said, "I want to ask, but I don't think it's necessary. Anyway, the country will not harm her."
The old man naturally knew about the relationship between the young couple. If something really happened to Wen Sitian at work, Xu Jianguo would definitely not let it go given his character.
But despite this, Xu Jianguo still did not ask the reason, and said very frankly that he wanted to ask but there was no need to ask. This attitude alone made the old man very satisfied.
"Okay, I don't know you, kid? Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, it's just that this matter hasn't been finalized yet. Transferring Xiaowen to the department is just advance preparation. Besides, it will be almost November by the time she finishes her confinement. We don't know what the situation will be like by then!"
Xu Jianguo did not speak, but continued to sit there quietly, waiting for the old man's next words.
"Niuyo, Magnesium and Fushan, South Korea were attacked on New Year's Eve this year. The ports of the two countries were razed to the ground, and the casualties exceeded 20,000. There is evidence that this was done by the Soviet Union. Their purpose was to use the attack on your grandfather Shen and others in North Korea at the end of last year to throw dirty water on us and North Korea, and drag us into the Soviet Union camp to fight against Magnesium." The old man spoke slowly, and Xu Jianguo listened quietly, without any expression on his face.
After the old man finished speaking, Xu Jianguo frowned and asked, "Grandpa Zhou, is there going to be a war?"
Xu Jianguo, who was a business tycoon in his previous life, thought he had some skills in acting. He was not sure whether the old man meant to test him, but he did not dare to be careless and could only use his acting skills to continue acting out the scene.
In fact, Xu Jianguo was just overthinking it. The old man had never doubted him at all, because in the eyes of ordinary people, it was impossible for one person or even an organization to accomplish this. Not to mention how they could send such a large amount of explosives into the ports of two countries without anyone noticing, the manufacture and transportation of weapons alone was a problem, and it could only be done at the national level.
The old man shook his head and said, "It seems that the Magnesians have seen through their conspiracy and have not caused any trouble for us or North Korea. However, according to intelligence reports, several Magnesian aircraft carrier battle groups have already left their homeland and are now sailing off the coast of Sulian."
"Then what does this matter have to do with my wife's transfer to the department?" Xu Jianguo asked with some confusion.
"Because we had the same idea as the Magnesium people, the Sulian people wanted to win us and North Korea over to their side. To put it bluntly, they wanted to use us as cannon fodder to stand between them and Magnesium. Magnesium saw through their plot and now wants to repair its relationship with us!"
Xu Jianguo was secretly shocked, thinking that he simply wanted revenge, but he never expected that it would trigger so many chain reactions.
However, he was very happy to see the current situation. After all, the scene of the large-scale withdrawal of Sulian experts from the country a few years ago was still vivid in his mind.
In addition, if we dig deep into the root of the three-year natural disaster, we will find that it is closely related to the debt collection by the Sulian people.
Therefore, even Xu Jianguo in his previous life still did not have a good impression of the countries after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
One reason is that this country has no spirit of contract. The so-called "Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance" is simply a joke and can be torn up at will.
The second reason is that the countries after the disintegration of the Sulian are too close to Longxia Kingdom. If it were not for poverty, Xu Jianguo could even conclude that they are Longxia Kingdom’s biggest enemies.
When Xu Jianguo thought of this, he couldn't help but think of another thing.
That is, the incident of the Sulian invading our country in March 1969 in the memory of the previous life has not happened yet. It was precisely because of this incident that the relationship between Long and Su completely dropped to a freezing point, and a series of subsequent events occurred in which the Magnesium Country took the initiative to repair its relationship with the Longxia Country.
Xu Jianguo didn't know whether this had anything to do with the bombing of the ports of Magnesium and South Korea, but what was certain was that it had something to do with the deployment of Magnesium's aircraft carrier battle group off the coast of Sulian.
"Grandpa Zhou, the reason you want to transfer my wife to the Ministry of Commerce is because the Chinese are going to contact us?" Xu Jianguo asked the question in his mind.
