Across time zones and regions.
In the sky above the Camel Kingdom, birds of prey broke their wings and shattered into pieces.
Dragon Country, Yanjing's Purple Mountain.
It was afternoon.
After the beginning of autumn, it was still very hot in Beijing.
Ji Chang Li waved the fan in his hand, bringing a trace of coolness to himself. At the same time, he looked at the old man playing chess with him and said helplessly.
"Bureau Chief, the chess pieces on your chess set have all peeled off. Change it to a new set.”
The energetic old man laughed as he picked up his horse and ate the pawns.
"Sure, I'll exchange it if you pay. I've asked Leader Liu to go to the supermarket to take a look. This kind of big chessboard costs more than 300 yuan each.”
"It's already good enough that you can play chess, but you're still picky.”
Hearing that he had to pay for it himself, Jizhang Li suddenly stopped talking.
His monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, other than leaving 600 yuan for his granddaughter's pocket money, he had sent everything else out.
There were students from the mountainous areas, elderly people with no children, and families of martyrs.
Although Jichang Li was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, his pockets were cleaner than his face.
The old man's situation was similar. To be precise, the old man was poorer than him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reluctant to change a set of Chinese chess after using it for more than twenty years.
A few years ago, the old man's grandson lost a red pawn. The old man found a piece of wood and made a pawn himself. He used a red pen to draw it and made do with it.
Li Jichang, who was no longer bothered by the peeling of the chess pieces, said casually.
" With the help of our mighty dragon, Jiang Chen should be able to overcome this crisis and succeed the throne.”
"What's the next step, Bureau Chief? What instructions do you have after this kid succeeds the throne?”
The old man pondered for a moment.
"After he inherits the throne, Ji Chang, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and represent our Dragon Country to meet him.”
Li Jichang nodded. After all, the Dragon Country was a big oil import country.
The Camel Kingdom was the second largest oil producer in the world.
The Dragon Kingdom lacked oil, and the Camel Kingdom lacked all kinds of light industrial products and food.
If both sides wanted to reach a mutually beneficial cooperation, they really needed Jichang Li, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to go and see Jiang Chen in person.
Thinking of the relationship between the Dragon Kingdom and Jiang Chen, Ji Chang Li couldn't help but smile.
"Bureau Chief, we can't go empty-handed when the family is going to see our daughter.”
Hearing this, the Bureau Chief also scolded him jokingly.
"Sure, send him a message."
"What are you talking about?"
The old man picked up the chess piece he had carved and smiled.
"Just say that our family is poor and let him, this rich daughter, come home often to visit.”
"Haha…"
The hearty laughter of two old men came from the study.
Outside the study room, Secretary Liu stood guard at the door, occasionally raising his wrist to check the time.
Usually in the afternoon, the old man had a forty-minute break, which was unshakable.
The old man's daily work schedule was very full. If there was anything urgent, he could contact Secretary Liu and cut the queue to report it.
However, there was a prerequisite.
Try not to take up the old man's rest time.
An old man in his sixties or seventies, 365 days a year without rest.
He woke up early every day and had meetings for a few hours every day. His workload was even greater than that of young people.
You only have 40 minutes of rest time every day, and you still have the nerve to take it up?
Hearing the laughter in the study, Secretary Liu couldn't help but smile.
Others might not know, but he knew it very well.
In fact, the two old men were both bad chess players and often regretted their moves.
There was nothing he could do. At this position, he thought about too many things every day. On the surface, he was playing chess, but his mind was not on chess at all.
He looked at his watch. The break time was almost over. Xiao Liu was about to knock on the door to remind the old man of his next work arrangement.
However, just as he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, at the end of the corridor on the right, a confidential secretary hurriedly walked over with a confidential document in his hand. When he saw Xiao Liu, he panted and said,
"Urgent…Urgent!"
Hearing the word urgent, Xiao Liu immediately stopped smiling. After taking the document, he immediately knocked on the door.
"Chief, there's an urgent message!"
In the study, when they heard the word urgent, the old man and Ji Chang Li were slightly stunned and simultaneously placed the chess pieces in their hands on the chessboard.
Seeing Xiao Liu enter the study, the old man said seriously.
"There's no need to look. Just say it."
Xiao Liu immediately opened the folder. When he saw the contents, his expression changed drastically. He glanced at the two old men and began to speak.
"The news came from the Northwest Air Force Command.”
" They said that five minutes ago, a Raptor from the Eagle Kingdom was attacked by the Royal Air Force of the Camel Kingdom in the airspace of the Camel Kingdom…"
"Shoot him down!"
After reporting the news, the entire study room was eerily quiet. After Ji Chang Li and the old man silently looked at each other, they didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Secretary Liu immediately closed the document and gently placed it on the desk.
"Chief, I'll postpone your work in the afternoon…"
After saying that, Xiao Liu quietly left the study.
As soon as he closed the door to the study, Xiao Liu clutched his chest. He could feel his heart beating wildly in his chest and kept taking deep breaths.
Good boy.
The Camel Kingdom had destroyed the Eagle Kingdom?
That was a raptor.
The Raptor fighter jet that was known as the representative of the Eagle Kingdom.
Where the birds of prey came, it was like an eagle sauce coming in person. Who dared to be impudent?
But in the Camel Kingdom, it was shot down like a bird?
them... How dare he?
Meanwhile, in the study room, looking at the documents left behind by Secretary Liu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jichang Li, covered his forehead and didn't say anything.
He was just chatting with the old man.
They talked about how Jiang Chen would communicate with each other after he overcame the crisis and succeeded to the throne.
Ji Zhang Li was even secretly calculating his work schedule.
He wanted to arrange time as soon as possible to visit the Camel Kingdom.
The arrangements were in full swing.
Who would have thought?
Jiang Chen hadn't even inherited the throne.
Just like that, he destroyed the Eagle Kingdom?
How dare he?
"Sir Ji…"
When he heard the old man's voice, he seemed to want to discuss it with him. Jichang Li, who was covering his forehead, waved his hand and said.
"Chief, give me a minute. I'll take my time…"
