Chapter 686 Father and Son (Second Update, please subscribe)
Young people are always full of yearning for the world. For these young people who have received primary to middle school education in Daming, they have seen the vastness and variety of the world from geography classes. Of course, they want to go to the world I went all over the place to have a look.

Of course Li Pingan is no exception.

Compared with becoming an engineer and earning hundreds of dollars a month, he is more eager to see the world.

But the reality is cruel. With an ordinary family background, he must first consider employment.

"Why don't you apply for the Naval Academy?"

Once again, the idea of ​​applying for the Naval Academy came into his mind.

Naval Academy students have a round-the-world sailing training before graduation.

After entering the fleet, he will also visit various parts of the world with the ship. Once he closed his eyes, Li Pingan thought of the various benefits of joining the navy.

Not only can you see the world, but you can earn a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the navy uniform is also very handsome!

"Hey, safe!"

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Li Mu, who was sweating profusely, ran over. Panting, he sat against the viewing platform, turned to look at Li Pingan and asked.

"What are you thinking? Is it still a school problem? Report to the mining school."

As a friend, Li Mu directly gave a suggestion, the mining school...it is a school established by the company to train professionals in the mining industry. When it comes to employment, there must be room for "selfishness".

"Otherwise, the metallurgical school is also fine, the income of the steel company is very good..."

Just when Li Mu kept mentioning his suggestions, Li Pingan said suddenly.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to apply for the Naval Academy."

"What? Naval school?"

"Yes, it's the only place where I can see all over the world!"

While speaking, Li Pingan turned his gaze to the principal in the distance. His son is the navy. In the principal's office, there are several photos he took around the world.

I don't know where that senior brother Song is now, maybe in a port full of exotic customs.

……

As usual, after getting off the tram, Song Mingjie walked straight to the Hongsi River. In addition to the Binhe Park, there are many residential areas along the Hongsi River. Unlike the apartment buildings in other places, those houses are all It is a two- to three-story townhouse or building, and there is a large lawn in front of each household. This is the most common high-end residence in Nanhua, and the people who live here are often corporate executives or senior civil servants.

After arriving home, Song Mingjie just took out the key to open the door, when the door opened suddenly, and then his three-year-old son threw himself into his arms.

"Dad is back. I saw you upstairs just now. As soon as I saw the white uniform, I knew it was you who came back!"

Song Chaodong, who was reading the newspaper with his head down, heard the noise outside, so he got up and took a look.Seeing his son entering the house with his grandson in his arms, he said.

"I'm back. It just so happens that your mother made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

His son, after graduating from the military academy five years ago, spent almost half of his time at sea, and he didn't know whether he was a navy or a sailor.

"Where's Shuyun?"

Before Song Mingjie could finish speaking, the son in his arms shouted loudly.

"Mom, Mom, Dad is back, Dad is back, Dad, I'm going to call Mom..."

After his son jumped out of his arms, Song Mingjie sat on the sofa.

"How long can you stay this time?"

"About a week."

"Why in such a hurry?"

Song Chaodong frowned at his son's answer.

"no way,"

The general's hat was hanging on the hanger next to the sofa, Song Mingjie said.

"The Japanese side invited the fleet to visit. His Majesty has agreed to send the fleet. We will move to Linhai this week."

"Move to defend Linhai?"

Song Chaodong asked puzzledly:

"Isn't it just to send a fleet to visit Japan? I remember that I sent a fleet to Ryukyu last year, and now you are transferred to Linhai. Is this necessary?"

Facing his father's question, Song Mingjie looked up at his father in thought for a while and said:

"Father, do you know why Japan invited our fleet to visit them?"

"There must be some purpose."

Nodding, Song Mingjie said:
"I can't talk about the purpose. The main reason is to use us to deter the British. Isn't it published in this newspaper that the British fleet went to Osaka. Where is it? It is also the area occupied by the Tokugawa family. It’s tantamount to supporting the rebels, and Japan’s invitation to visit Ming’s fleet is to use our power to warn the British not to interfere in Japan’s internal affairs.”

"But you don't have to be relocated at all?"

Song Chaodong frowned and said.

"Aren't you..."

"Don't fight unprepared battles, that is, just in case, and with the "Quadruple Alliance", Britain will not tear us apart, anyway..."

After thinking about it, Song Mingjie said.

"Our move is to strengthen the strength in the Pacific Ocean. Only in this way can the British not take risks in Japan."

As a naval officer, Song Mingjie had enough access to a lot of confidential information. Although on the surface, it seemed that Daming had no intention of conflicting with Britain, the reality was far from it.At least in the navy, Ming has been preparing for a war with Britain, and there are many potential irreconcilable conflicts between the two countries.

Of course, these words cannot be said in front of the father.

"Oh, I hope so..."

The worry in the corner of Song Chaodong's eyes became more intense, he nodded and said:

"I have seen some of the things you said in the newspapers... However, if we confront each other head-to-head in Japan and the UK, the relationship will only become more tense in the future. By then..."

Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, Song Chaodong held the cigarette in one hand and the lighter in the other. Before he lit it, he stood up from the sofa and walked slowly in the living room with his hands behind his back. Song Mingjie His eyes moved slowly with his father.After walking a few steps, Song Chaodong stopped, turned his head and said to his son:

"This interview, according to what you said, seems simple, but it is actually not simple....Don't be surprised, some things can be guessed. What is your majesty's strategy in the past few years? It is to unite France to rule Britain, but now In Japan again, I chose to support Japan. Why did the British support the Tokugawa family? Isn’t it because the Japanese government is on our side? Now we are sending the fleet to that side, I am worried..."

After a pause, Song Chaodong lit a cigarette, took a puff, looked at his son with a worried face, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Let your mother cook two more dishes. Let's have two drinks tonight."

It seemed that at this moment, as a father, all worries disappeared, but in fact all worries were buried in his heart.

But he is also very clear.If a war really breaks out, his son will definitely bear the brunt of going to the front line, after all, it is his responsibility as a soldier.As the principal of the school for some years, he kept telling the children what is responsibility?What could he say now?

"Hey, okay, today I will have a drink or two with your father and your old man."

Seeing his father Song Mingjie, of course he knew what his father was thinking.But at this moment, the father and son were relatively silent.
