The eldest son opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by the old man with a wave of his hand. He sighed and said: "I know, you still miss the love between brothers, but sometimes, the word love is like the ocean, it can accommodate everything.

.

But sometimes, the word love is a knife. Whether it is family, love or friendship!" The old man said and took out the knife again, slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard, then carefully stroked the blade, and then

After a while, he raised his head and looked at the snow that was still falling outside the window. His expression became more and more tired, but his eyes revealed the wisdom that can only be left behind after experiencing life and death, and the accumulation of time, and can see through everything.

"The knife is a murderous weapon. It is extremely sharp. It can kill people, and it can also kill yourself. But the law is the law, and the law is domineering. I am the only one who respects me. No matter how sharp the knife is, it can only retreat in front of the law." The old man stood up, his body tired.

Some of the people who stayed in the building walked towards the stairs, "The way of man,

The loss is not enough and the reward is more than enough. It is all due to people's desire to harm others to benefit themselves. If it is wrong, it is wrong. The rules are the rules, the law is the law, no one can break it. I can't do it, you can't do it, and he can't do it...otherwise everyone

If we use power to break rules and use sharp weapons to resist the law, can a country still be called a country?"

The old man kept talking, but when he came to the door of the room, he stopped, turned around and handed the knife in his hand to the eldest son, "Righteous way, "political way", politics is the beginning, Tao is the end, politics is

The foundation is planning, Dao is Tao, government is tool, strategy is skill, Tao is inseparable from the tool. Only the state can hold this sword and exercise its power."

The eldest son was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand. Since he has broken the law, let him accept the punishment of the law. I will not participate in it."

The old man smiled, patted the eldest son on the shoulder, opened the door and walked into the room. The eldest son hurriedly entered the room and made the bed, then helped the old man lie down and covered himself with a quilt.

The old man looked at the eldest young master, with a rare licking feeling in his eyes, "Zong Yao!"

"Dad, what's the matter?" The eldest son was about to leave when he heard the old man's words and sat down by the bed.

The old man looked at the eldest son and said, "I didn't let you enter politics back then. Are you still blaming me now?"

The eldest son smiled slightly: "No wonder!"

"Haha..." the old man said with a chuckle, "Don't lie to me, I know you are still blaming me!"

The eldest son said: "I had this idea more than ten years ago, but it's gone now. It's really gone."

The old man grabbed the eldest son's hand and patted it gently: "Do you know why I don't let you enter politics?"

The eldest son shook his head. For so many years, he has never understood why the old man stopped him from entering politics. This is also a hurdle that he has been unable to overcome for many years. It is like a wall in his heart. Sometimes he can't breathe just thinking about it.

Come. Although he no longer blames the old man, he must know that being in politics, being an official, serving the people, and benefiting the country has always been his dream. But when he walked out of school with excellent results and was about to show his ambition, he was

The old man's words were completely shattered.

Sometimes he wanted to ask why, but in the end he didn't ask. As time went by, the resentment in his heart and the original heart gradually faded away. Now that the old man suddenly mentioned this matter, he also

Be able to treat it calmly.

The old man looked at the calm look of the eldest son and sighed: "I am a soldier. What is a soldier? What I carry on my shoulders is not the head, let alone the military rank, but the security of the motherland and the people. As a soldier, you can

It is said that I also spent my life as a soldier, cultivating wisdom and ability internally, and fighting externally.

Power and interests. Killing and conquering, opening up thousands of miles of waves. Later, New China was founded. After ten years of turmoil, the country has been swaying. From the military to the political ups and downs, what I saw was cruel competition for survival, greed and plunder.

The selfish nature of human beings, the evils of human relationships...

There will be no more than seven or eight people who play a key role in the development of a person's life. If you deal with these seven or eight people, you will control and consolidate the pattern of your life. It is not easy for one person to rise. The exclusion and competition of peers will lead to the decline of subordinates.

framed, slandered, suppressed and suffocated by superiors,

Opportunities fly by... everything is for power. And political struggle is a hundred times more dangerous than the battlefield. You have to keep fighting, fighting for survival, fighting for competition, fighting for dominance. Born to conquer,

To survive by fighting, this is politics.

As for you, I do not deny your ability. It can be said that if you enter politics, you will definitely be a good official for the people. But that is not enough. You are upright and upright. This is your advantage, but if you do not know how to be flexible, you will offend others. This is in the officialdom.

It becomes your shortcoming, and eventually you offend more and more people, and then you are isolated, so you

This kind of personality is destined to make you not go far in the official career... I can keep you safe while I am alive and suppress all the people and things that are not good for you, but I cannot protect you for the rest of your life. You will die one day. Wait for me.

After you die, those people and things that I have suppressed will erupt like a volcano and burn you to ashes."

After hearing this, the eldest son's mood fluctuated violently. Of course he knew what kind of character he was, but he had never thought about these issues. But as the son of an old man, he had never left the old man since he was a child. He had always stood by his side, even if he was not

I’ve thought about those issues, but I’ve seen them a lot.

Officialdom, officialdom, entrance is impermanent. When you step into officialdom, you can't help it. It can be said that things are impermanent. Today you sit in a high position and have the power of life and death, but tomorrow you may fall from that high position.

He fell down and was smashed to pieces.

Chen Hai, Chen Hai, Chen enters the sea. When you enter the court and serve as an official, it is equivalent to stepping into the sea. On the surface, it seems calm, the sun rises and sets, year after year. In fact, whether it is prosperous or simple,

Underneath the appearance, there are terrible torrents hidden.

The old man looked at the silent eldest son and said softly: "If your character was half as cunning as that boy Yang Luo, I wouldn't stop you."

"Huh?" The eldest son looked at the old man.

The old man chuckled: "I have watched that little bastard Yang Luo since he was a child. His character is the same as yours, he hates evil as much as he hates it. He has offended many people, even to the point of fighting to death. But he has made more friends.

Many people are willing to help him and stand up for him when encountering problems. It is because he is thicker-skinned than you, more tactful and cunning than you, and he knows what it means to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, even if he does things

play hard

, even if he is scolded, even if he is criticized by thousands of people, it doesn't matter, because the people standing behind him are not a dying old guy like me, but a group of friends in their prime. But you can't do it, you don't have his shamelessness, you don't have

His tact is not as cunning as his, and he doesn't understand what it means to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You offend people but can't make friends. No one will help you after I die. Some people look at my face and don't add insult to injury.

Not bad.”

The eldest son smiled bitterly: "Dad, I understand, thank you!"

The old man smiled happily: "That little guy from the Discipline Inspection Commission, Fang Mingyuan, has the same personality as you. I admire him very much. But do you know why he has been sitting in that position for more than ten years?" Before the eldest son could wait, the old man smiled happily.

In reply, the old man continued, "It's not that his ability is not good, but that his ability is very strong. The reason why he was not promoted was because he wanted to protect him. He sat

In that position, no matter what case is involved, who is involved, or how much interest is involved, he can investigate and handle it without any scruples. Because of all the pressure, all firepower is blocked by the above. But once he goes up

It's different. With his character and a high position, even those who once protected him or valued him will feel threatened, and then he will get burned."

The eldest son smiled: "Dad, don't talk anymore. The knot in my heart has been relieved. It's true. And I'm over forty years old, so there's nothing I can't bear to see!"

"As long as you can think about it, go ahead!" The old man closed his eyes, "I'm old and can't do it anymore. I feel tired after chatting with my son for a while."

At this time, media from various countries were reporting on the terrorist attacks and riots in Kabul. Immediately afterwards, al-Qaeda and the ETIM simultaneously announced that they were responsible for the attack on the US embassy and planning the riots. The whole world was shocked. Especially the United States, everywhere

Anti-war marchers. Families of Marines who died in battle and who were still on duty in Kabul gathered in front of the White House and shouted slogans for the soldiers to go home.

"Bang!"

In the White House, President Kuroko kicked the chair in front of him away. This time, the US Embassy was attacked by a terrorist, and Special Envoy Harry died. The impact was comparable to 911. How could we not make him angry or get angry?

"Bah bang bang!"

There was a knock on the office door. President Kuroko took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and said, "Come in!"

The secretary opened the door and walked in, cautiously saying, "Mr. President, Minister Alwell is here!"

Heizi waved his hand: "Let him in!"

The secretary walked out, and then Defense Secretary Alwell walked in: "Mr. President!"

Heizi pointed to the sofa: "Sit down!"

Aiweier sat down, and Heizi also sat aside: "Tell me, what should we do about the situation in Kabul? We must calm the people's emotions as soon as possible, especially the families of the soldiers."

Awell said: "At this time, our previous plan must change. Seize al-Zawahiri and hit the East-Israeli Movement hard." Heizi frowned: "Is there no other way?"

"This is the most effective and fastest solution," Awell said.

Heizi's face turned purple, but he couldn't delay this matter, so he could only say: "Notify the insider of Yi Yun in East 1 and ask him to contact the other party and agree to the other party's conditions."

The muscles on Aiweier's face twitched. Is the other party a fool? You didn't want the fire extinguisher when I first gave it to you. Now that your backyard is on fire, you go to someone else to get it. Is it possible? Anyway, it's your job to put out the fire, then that's it.

If you use your own, why should I care about it?

Awell said hesitantly: "Mr. President, I have to remind you that in this situation, we have missed the opportunity to trade with the other party."

Heizi frowned and gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, get in touch with the other party first, and agree to him as long as his conditions are not excessive. Also, notify the Pentagon to implement the South China Sea Free Navigation Plan and put pressure on China

.But you must exercise restraint and never let the gun go off."

Awell said: "Would this mess things up?"
