Chapter 1124: Changing the situation of the battle by one's own strength?
Something serious had happened. The old man couldn't explain it clearly on the phone and didn't bother to bother Zhang Xiuzhi anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yong reminded again: "Xiuzhi, please tell Wangcai and arrange a time to do that... Video chat. If something serious happens, call me after you make an appointment."
Without waiting for Zhang Xiuzhi's consent, the old man got in the car and left.
Zhang Xiuzhi returned to the house, and Zeng Youqian came over from the middle courtyard: "Gone?"
"Let's go!" Zhang Xiu rolled up her sleeves and said, "Dad, take a rest. I'll go cook for you."
Zeng Wangcai is not in this house, and Zhang Xiuzhi is everywhere.
Originally, Chen Yumei could help a little, but since the supply and marketing cooperative department store went public, Chen Yumei has been traveling all over the country and spends basically no time at home.
The old couple Zeng Youqian are getting younger and younger now, and each has their own career.
"What to cook? You've worked hard, so let's not cook anymore!" Zeng Youqian waved his hand and said, "The business has grown, but it's getting quieter at home. No one's at home. Let's go to a restaurant."
"Okay, let's go to a restaurant!" Zhang Xiuzhi agreed readily.
After so many years of development, Caishen Lane no longer looks as shabby as it did before, but now looks antique and neat.
There are all kinds of businesses in the alley. Where Sha Zhu used to run a restaurant, there is now another restaurant, opened by Sha Zhu's apprentice Ma Hua.
"Oh, the old man is here!" The waiter saw Zeng Youqian coming in and immediately came over to greet him enthusiastically.
Even if it weren't for the benefits Zeng Wangcai brought to the alley, there is no hostility in the alley now and it is very harmonious.
After sitting down, Zeng Youqian said, "Xiuzhi, you should call Wangcai when you have time. Look how anxious those old brothers are."
"Dad, don't worry, I'll call you tonight." Zhang Xiuzhi nodded in agreement, and then ordered three side dishes without looking at the menu and asked for a bottle of Erguotou. "We usually contact each other at night. I'm not free during the day. Wangcai said before that he won't go out this time and will accompany you exclusively."
"I don't want him to accompany us. We are in good health." Zeng Youqian waved his hand, "You should go back to your hometown more often. Your grandma misses you. She is a little confused now."
My grandmother is almost 100 years old and is in perfect health both physically and mentally.
A few days ago, Zeng Youqian heard a call from the second brother, saying that the old man went out to catch frogs in the middle of the night. He went out alone with a flashlight, which scared the second brother to death.
Upon asking, I found out that the old man said that the weather was hot and the frogs were fat, so his eldest grandson loved to eat them.
When Zeng Youqian heard those words, tears welled up in his eyes, knowing that his mother missed her eldest grandson.
But what should I do since my son has gone out to do something important?
After enduring for a few days, Zeng Youqian took the opportunity to talk about this when the three old men came to visit.
The three dishes came up quickly, and Ma Hua came over personally and brought a portion of peanuts.
Zeng Youqian drank two liang of wine with the food. When he was about to pour more wine, the wine glass was taken away by Zhang Xiuzhi.
"Dad, two taels per meal, no more."
"Uh......"
Zeng Youqian touched his chin and picked up the bowl to eat helplessly.
In the evening, Zeng You went to chat at the entrance of the former convenience store which had become a two-story supermarket, while Zhang Xiuzhi went back to make a phone call.
Someone is making a phone call here, while the old men are in a meeting.
In just half a day, the situation has undergone a huge reversal...
In a conference room, a serious leader said: "The situation in the United States has been verified. They have indeed withdrawn from the joint fleet. The new situation is that in just half a day, three countries have withdrawn from the joint fleet. Even the die-hard American and our mortal enemy, Chicken Foot Basin, has withdrawn.
"We urgently need to find out what is happening in the Persian Gulf."
Although there is a unanimous consensus in the country that there is no need to worry about the threat from the British country and that it is imperative to take back Jiangdao, it is still important to find out the whole story.
There was a heated discussion in the conference room, from the battlefield situation in Dam to the recent movements of the American fleet, all were laid out for analysis.
However, there was no result, or no one dared to draw a conclusion.
Because the matter was so strange, more than 30 families participated in the fight against Dam, but they did not win.
Liu Yong and the other two old men were sitting outside and listening. Liu Yong suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, let me say a few words. Should we consider the issue of weapons? Have you forgotten that there is a weapons transportation route that provides supplies to Dam?"
"Old leader, this is it!" The leader who presided over the meeting stood up and said, "We have considered this. We believe that ground combat is affected by weapons, but the problem now is that the combined fleet is now on the verge of falling apart, which cannot be affected by the ground battlefield.
"In half a day, four companies withdrew, and they were all die-hard supporters of the Americans."
"I went to Zeng Wangcai's house today and asked his wife to contact him." Liu Yong continued, "Do you think it is possible that Zeng Wangcai, who was not at home, did all this?"
It seemed absurd that at a meeting of this level, they would discuss whether one person could single-handedly change the course of the world war.
But no one here thinks it is ridiculous. Instead, they are seriously thinking about this possibility.
Due to lack of sufficient supporting information, the meeting ultimately produced no results.
On the second day, another four companies withdrew from the combined fleet...
As luck would have it, Zhang Xiuzhi was unable to contact Zeng Wangcai, which almost drove the old men crazy.
On the third day, the American Combined Fleet announced its dissolution.
It was not a sneaky disbandment, but a formal announcement, and it was announced that the joint forces would withdraw from Damm within a period of time.
In other words, the massive war ended with the American joint forces falling apart and withdrawing.
The world was shocked that the American joint forces were unable to defeat Dam.
The news spread across the world in an instant, and every village was paying close attention to the follow-up.
At the same time, the old man, whose meeting had yielded no results, came to the courtyard again.
This time at the gathering in the Intermediate Court, not only the three old men were present, but also Zeng Youqian and his wife.
When Zhang Xiuzhi failed to contact Zeng Wangcai, the couple panicked, and Zeng Youqian called Chen Yumei back.
"Come, have some tea!" Chen Yumei came out with a tray of tea. "Xiuzhi, have you contacted him?"
"No, mom. The call is connected, but no one is answering." Zhang Xiuzhi frowned.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried. This situation has never happened before. Usually, whenever Zhang Xiuzhi called Zeng Wangcai, even if Zeng Wangcai didn't answer the call, he would call back after a while if he saw the call.
"I'm so worried. Why doesn't this kid answer the phone?" Chen Yumei complained. "Where the hell is he doing? I'll give him a slap when he comes back."
The words were harsh, but in the end, you will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Don't worry, Mom!" Zhang Xiuzhi comforted her, "Maybe something has delayed us. Let's wait a little longer."
At the scene, only Zhang Xiuzhi knew where Zeng Wangcai had gone, and the old men could roughly guess a little.
This wait lasted until dinner time, and no one was in the mood to continue waiting after dinner.
It was past eleven o'clock and Liu Yong was about to doze off when his phone suddenly rang, reminding him to watch the news.
The TV in the Intermediate Court turned on and played international news: "We condemn the University of Tokyo. We announce that we will sign a warrant with the following countries..."
