Rebirth of the Rising Sun

In the war years, Zhao Mingyuan was known as Zhao the Crazy, and this nickname frightened the enemy on the battlefield. So many years have passed, and there has been peace for so many years. Have some people forgotten the iron will of these old generals and thought that in peacetime, these war maniacs are no longer important?

If you think like this, you are totally wrong. The reason why people like Mr. Zhao don't show their power is that they haven't found the right opportunity, and the country's policy is to develop the economy, so they can't show their abilities. But if someone is blind enough to offend such a person, the situation will be very serious.

Thinking about Mr. Zhao's current influence in the military and the Zhao family's influence over those major military regions, Qin Xianghua also felt overwhelmed.

Although he has strengthened his control and management of the army since he took office, he knows deeply that he cannot truly integrate into the ranks of soldiers without having served in the military. No matter how noble his position is, he is still a layman in front of real soldiers.

Such laymen can still restrain some officers with political ideals, because these people have their own ideas, so they will take his feelings into consideration. However, there are also some pure soldiers who take defending the country as their responsibility. Such people will not care about personal gains and losses. As long as they can protect the motherland, they are willing to be a soldier.

In the military, such people are the most terrifying and the most influential.

Undoubtedly, the Zhao family has many such soldiers, or it can be said that such soldiers only respect heroes like the Zhao family who have actually fought in wars and killed people.

This is the so-called mutual respect. This is also why the Zhao family has such a strong influence in the military.

"Go tell your Uncle Ren later and ask him to pay attention to the situation at the Military Commission. If there are any unusual movements, notify me immediately." Qin Xianghua really couldn't figure out what Mr. Zhao meant at this moment, so he needed to make some preparations in advance.

Of course, it was true that he couldn't see what Mr. Zhao would do next, but he did know that the Zhao family's original intention was to protect Feng Sizhe, so the key point was to resolve the issue on Young Master Feng's side.

Qin Xianghua was ready at this time. He wanted to meet his old leader and have a good talk with Mr. Hou. Now he had no ability to convince the Zhao family, so he could only try to start from the Hou family.

Hou family.

After Hou Zhennan conveyed the instructions from Elder Hou, those who belonged to the Hou faction began to move and immediately dealt a heavy blow to the Capital Province.

After learning the result of the incident, Hou Zhennan was filled with joy. He didn't believe that Feng Sizhe could stay in Kyoto after all these things happened. He would not be anxious. The backyard was on fire. As any person in power, he would distinguish the importance of things.

Just as Hou Zhennan was feeling proud and secretly delighted with what he had done, his son Hou Weidong walked into his study in a panic. "Dad, the person I sent to the Zhao family courtyard as you requested suddenly lost contact."

"Oh, could it be that there is something urgent and they need to turn off their phones?" Hou Zhennan assumed a possibility.

After hearing this answer, Hou Weidong shook his head with a bitter face. This idea was simply impossible to realize and it was almost like deceiving oneself.

Hou Zhennan looked at his son shaking his head and smiled awkwardly before saying, "It's okay. The four of them are quite skilled. It's impossible for them to reveal their true colors so easily."

"Dad, how long are you going to deceive yourself? The Zhao family's guards are the most elite. They have all undergone special training and are sent to national military academies for further study every year. The strength of these people is only stronger than the people we send out, not weaker than them. I think at this point, it is very likely that they have been in trouble."

Relatively speaking, Hou Weidong was much more rational. At least he had thought of the worst possible scenario, unlike his father who still had any illusions.

"Something happened, Dong'er, what do you mean?" Hou Zhennan's heart was also shocked. Obviously, this result was the one he least wanted to think about.

"My meaning is very simple. They may have been controlled by the Zhao family. If this is the case, then we will be in big trouble." Hou Weidong knew that the matter was urgent, so he directly expressed his thoughts at this time.

"They were caught by the Zhao family. Do they really have the courage to do that? They are members of my Hou family." Hou Zhennan was obviously unwilling to believe his son's statement.

Seeing that his father was still unwilling to believe it, Hou Weidong had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Dad, I want to ask you, if we find a stranger watching us near our home, what will we do?"

"Why ask? Of course we should arrest them first." Hou Zhennan said reflexively. After saying this, he was shocked. "Ah, do you mean that the Zhao family really arrested them?"

"Of course, if we do this, others will naturally do the same. Besides, Mr. Zhao is a man who is never afraid of trouble. Just like during the ten years of turmoil, he dared to reason with the Red Guards and even fought with them. Such a person should not be treated with common sense, not to mention that this time we took the initiative to hand the handle into their hands, and the result is predictable." Hou Weidong said anxiously.

It was because he knew who Mr. Zhao was that he said this. If it were someone else, knowing that the four were from the Hou family, perhaps they would not move, but it was completely different when it came to the Zhao family, not to mention that the Hou family had just put great pressure on the Capital Province.

At this moment, Hou Zhennan could no longer sit there quietly and watch, "Ah, if this is true, what should I do?"

Seeing his father panicking, Hou Weidong became even more anxious. "I can talk to grandpa if I don't think it's urgent. Let's see if he has any better ideas."

"That's the only way, let's go." Hou Zhennan nodded, and now he just had to ask his father for advice. This shows what a vital role these old people play in the family.

In Mr. Hou's room, Hou Zhennan carefully reported everything.

"Dad, Dong'er and I think those four people are very likely controlled by the Zhao family. Humph! They don't take our Hou family seriously at all. I think we should teach them a lesson." At this time, Hou Zhennan still wanted to provoke his father's anger and wanted to cause trouble for the Zhao family.

"Asshole." Hou Lao suddenly shouted, and Hou Zhennan was so frightened that he became silent. He had never seen his father get so angry in many years.

"Grandpa, calm down." Hou Weidong said quickly, and then took the initiative to come to the old man's side and gently patted the old man's shoulder, "Grandpa, your health is the most important."

"Yeah." After hearing what his grandson said, Mr. Hou's anger really subsided a lot. But when he saw his son Hou Zhennan standing in front of him, he was furious again, "Tell me, who allowed you to be afraid of people to spy on the Zhao family? Don't you know what consequences this will cause? This is crossing the line, a serious crossing of the line, you know?"

Being scolded by his father, Hou Zhennan did not dare to refute at all. All he could do was nod continuously, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing that his son seemed to know he was wrong, Mr. Hou was about to say the next words of reprimand. After all, some specific matters of the Hou family still depended on his son. "Hey, I really made a bad move this time. You don't know that this move was wrong, and our Hou family was in a passive position."

"Grandpa, could it be that serious?" Hou Weidong asked with some confusion.

Although it was wrong to monitor the Zhao family, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were not really targeting Elder Zhao, but rather Feng Sizhe. Besides, the Hou family was a powerful family. In today's world, would anyone really dare to offend them? Even Comrade Qin Xianghua had to respectfully call Elder Hou "old leader" every time he saw him, right?

"Yes. Definitely. If it happened to someone else, maybe they could tolerate it, but it's different for the Zhao family." Elder Hou said with certainty. "You all know that after Elder He passed away, the He family's military power was merged into the Zhao family. Now, it's no exaggeration to say that the Zhao family is the strongest in the military, and would such a family allow such an ignominious thing to happen to them? Not to mention, we just took out our anger on his grandson. If Crazy Zhao didn't take the opportunity to lose his temper once, he would not be unworthy of that nickname."

After Mr. Hou said this, both Hou Weidong and Hou Zhennan's faces turned tense. Only then did they deeply realize that the Hou family might have done something wrong this time.

"Okay, contact the General Office of the Central Committee immediately. I want to meet Comrade Xiang Hua." Mr. Hou suddenly stood up from his chair. Obviously, after foreseeing the seriousness of the matter, he was a little restless. He had to take some action this time.

"Okay." Hou Zhennan agreed quickly, then quickly walked out of the old man's room to make the contact.

After watching his son walk out, Old Hou said calmly, "Donger, did you see that? Your father is still not motivated enough. With my connections, I can only push him to his current position. It's already the limit. The rest depends on you. As long as you have a promising future, our Hou family can continue to prosper. Otherwise, the Hou family may decline."

After saying these words, Mr. Hou turned around, looked at Hou Weidong with a very serious look and said, "So Dong'er, you must strive for excellence."

Feeling his grandfather's expectant gaze, Hou Weidong nodded very solemnly, "Grandpa, I'll take note of what you said."

"Okay." Mr. Hou nodded with some satisfaction, and then said, "Let's go to the South China Sea."
