Chapter 846 Awarded to Lieutenant General?
Xiao Bing has always known that Lao Ban never married and had children. When Lao Ban was the captain of the Longya Brigade, because this special status was not suitable for anyone to know, he never got married or even fell in love once. , on the one hand, he does not want his true identity to be exposed accidentally, on the other hand, he is in the dragon's teeth and has to go out to perform tasks anytime and anywhere, risking his life at all times. He also does not want to have to live with him every day after getting married. They all make their families worry about themselves.
By the time he retired from Longya, he was already older, and he seemed to have completely given up on starting a family, so he remained single.
It is precisely because of this that whenever the leaders mentioned Lao Ban, they would feel a little emotional on the one hand, and on the other hand they would be full of apologies and respect for Lao Ban.
Xiao Bing also knew that Lao Ban had always treated him like a child and had placed a lot of things on him. Therefore, when he quit Longya, even though Lao Ban did not support him, he even used it against him. Although he was tortured, Xiao Bing only resented Laoban a little, but never hated him.
Seeing Lao Li's sadness, Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Old man, if you get older and can't walk anymore, you might as well come to live in my Xiao Mansion and I will provide for you in your old age."
Laoban laughed happily and said: "My old man's body is very strong. Will there be another day? Okay, even if there is such a day, I don't need you to support me in old age. I will find someone to support him when the time comes. I’ll live in a place with beautiful scenery. But now, I’m really looking forward to that day. I’m tired after so many years of work!”
"Yes." Xiao Bing said, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it."
"Haha, now that I'm in this position, do you think I can do whatever I want? I can't be as willful as you. I just leave my choices when I'm told. In the entire National Security Bureau, the people who are truly enterprising are still too young, and their qualifications are too high. Not enough. People with sufficient qualifications are too conservative. It is really difficult to find a suitable successor for the time being. At least until a new successor is trained, the superiors will not allow me to leave my job."
Xiao Bing softened his tone and said, "When people live, sometimes they have to live for themselves."
Lao Ban shook his head and said: "Sometimes it is difficult for people to live completely for themselves. You have to do it for the country. Even if it is not for the country, sometimes you may have to do it for other people or things..."
When he said these words, there were some indescribable emotions in Lao Ban's pupils. Even Xiao Bing felt elusive when he saw it. He was wondering what else was in Lao Ban's heart that he didn't know about. .
Laoban sat down on the sofa, put Xiao Mingyue on the ground, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mingyue, do you think this room is big?"
Xiao Mingyue nodded and said: "Big."
Laoban asked with a smile: "Do you know what this room is called? This is called the presidential suite. Most people can't afford it. Since it's so big, go and run."
Xiao Mingyue is a child after all. After hearing what Lao Ban said, she ran away immediately, running around and playing in the entire hall and other rooms. In addition to the living room where Xiao Bing and Lao Ban were, the presidential suite also There are a presidential room and a lady's room, both of which are large bedrooms, as well as a cloakroom, study room, piano room, kitchen, bathroom, gym, bar and bathroom.
Children who have just arrived here are inevitably new, especially Xiao Mingyue, who has never seen such a luxurious place. However, children aged two or three can easily get injured if they accidentally get too naughty, so Lao Ban did not forget to remind him. Xiao Mingyue should not run too far, it is best to play in this living room. The living room is very big anyway, but Xiao Bing does not care. Only Xiao Bing knows that although Xiao Mingyue is not that mature in mind, he is a child of several years old. ’s sanity, but to say she would be hurt is the joke within a joke.
After sending Xiao Mingyue to the side first, Xiao Bing sat down and looked at Lao Ban and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lao Ban smiled and said: "How do you know what I want to talk to you about? Why don't I just talk to you about old times?"
"Forget it, I don't know you yet?" Xiao Bing crossed his legs and said, "Tell me what you want to say, but I'm out of Longya now, and I don't know how to do ordinary things. .”
"I know this, don't worry, there is nothing that really needs you to do. You have left Longya in the past five years. Although I have never said it, I really think so in my heart. You have been away from Longya for the past five years. It’s been a good year, very, very good.”
Xiao Bing cupped his hands and said seriously: "Thank you for the compliment."
"Haha, look at you like that, don't you believe it? I'm speaking from my heart. Although the Dark World has not caused a little trouble in the past five years, you have minimized the harm of the Dark World to the world. What more can you ask for?" Lao Ban suddenly asked with a smile, "Xiao Bing, have you ever thought about becoming a lieutenant general one day?"
Xiao Bing was startled: "Lieutenant General? I never thought about it, are you kidding me?"
A lieutenant general is basically equivalent to a senior official at the level of deputy commander or deputy political commissar or chief of staff in a military region. He is a big shot with real power. Although this is a professional title given to Xiao Bing, it does not really make Xiao Bing Being a general in a certain military region, but even this is scary enough. At least Xiao Bing can be almost on an equal footing with the second-in-command in a certain military region.
You know, there are still countless lieutenants and colonels in the entire country, but the generals have already been counted. China now has a total of 29 army generals, 4 air force generals, 3 navy admirals and 2 armed police officers. General, the total number of all generals is only more than thirty, and each of them has a well-known name in the military region and has a pivotal position. In other words, the identity of Xiao Bing's Lieutenant General is The entire Chinese military is second only to these thirty people?
This is too terrible!
What is even more frightening is that the youngest lieutenant generals in China are all over fifty years old, while Xiao Bing is only in his twenties or even less than thirty. Such a young lieutenant general is probably the first in the history of China's establishment. If he really got the rank of lieutenant general, Xiao Bing would be almost the most dazzling new star in the entire military department, and he would be the only one.
Xiao Bing still didn't believe it, shook his head and said: "Are you kidding me? A major general is scary enough, but at least I was the captain of the Dragon Tooth Brigade before, so I deserved it, and neither did anyone else." What are you going to say? Grant me the rank of lieutenant general? This is simply crazy. I’m afraid you can’t find a lieutenant general as young as me in the world, right?”
Lao Ban smiled and said: "If we talk about younger lieutenant generals, they are not without them in the history of China. Sixty years ago, when New China was just established, two outstanding generals who made great contributions in the war were once were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and both of them are less than forty years old, only about ten years older than you are now. But that was decades ago, and there are historical reasons for that. Even in that case, they didn't get the rank of lieutenant general at such a young age. You should be regarded as the first person in history, even if you look at the whole world."
Xiao Bing asked: "Then you really want to grant it to me? Then I won't be polite."
Laoban laughed and said, "I thought you wanted to be humble."
"No, no, no." Xiao Bing said seriously, "I'm just a bastard who doesn't take advantage of me. If you offered me an official position, I might still hesitate or even reject it outright, but this kind of I don’t need to do any work, I’m just given a military rank, and it’s such a cool and awesome military rank that only a fool wouldn’t do it.”
Lao Ban laughed loudly and said, "But don't worry yet. I can keep the rank of lieutenant general for you, but I won't give it to you yet."
"Tch, I know there is no such thing as pie in the sky. There must be something you want me to do, right? Then I don't want the military rank, and I won't do it."
Laoban said: "You keep it secret. If other people knew that they had the opportunity to become a lieutenant general, they would probably be crazy with excitement. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, they would fight for it. Why don't you just do nothing?" But don’t worry, there’s nothing you need to do, you can just be yourself and do whatever you need to do.”
Xiao Bing was a little confused this time, and at the same time, he wondered if there was some trap set for him. These old guys above were all cunning, so it was better to be careful.
Xiao Bing asked cautiously: "Is there such a good thing in the world? Can pie fall from the sky? Why can't I believe it?"
Lao Ban laughed angrily: "You are judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. You dare to doubt even the big guys above."
Xiao Bing curled his lips and said: "What's wrong? The boss is no longer a human? Doesn't he need to eat, drink, and sleep? Shouldn't he still have sex with women? If he doesn't go to bed, he can't continue the family line?"
Lao Ban said speechlessly: "Don't say this outside. If people hear you talking about the leaders above, it will not be good after all."
"Now we have freedom of speech. There is nothing we can't say." Xiao Bing stopped being arrogant and said, "Okay, you better tell me what's going on. I won't believe the pie-in-the-sky thing. You It’s okay to know that.”
"Well, actually, this is not a pie in the sky. You have made great contributions during the Dragon Ya period. In addition, as the captain of the Dragon Ya Brigade and the world's special forces king, you have won the rank of major general. All of these are Of course, normally speaking, you have left Ryuga. Even if you are still a captain in Ryuga, it is difficult to win the title of lieutenant general. Even if you have made a lot of achievements, you may be a lieutenant general in the future. Yours, maybe you will be younger than me when you become a lieutenant general, but it will definitely not be now. But..."
"But the above unanimously determined that everything you have done in the past five years may have made a greater contribution to the world than when you served as captain of Ryuga, so the position of lieutenant general can be considered as an exception. However, If I want to grant you the title of Lieutenant General, after all, there will still be too much resistance and an opportunity is needed."
Xiao Bing asked: "What is the opportunity?"
Laoban said with a serious face: "Your strength has improved again, transcending and breaking the void!"
