Chapter 195 Special Merit
"Grandpa, let me read the newspaper." Zhan Xinyue stretched out her hand curiously.
"Here." Ouyang Zhenting handed the newspaper to Zhan Xinyue.
When the crescent moon was unfolded, the front-page headline was written in eye-catching red letters with an easy-to-understand title: "Awarding Comrade Sheng Tunan Special Merit."
The picture below the title is a robot dog on the battlefield, and the text below details how Sheng Tunan led researchers to develop the robot dog. A lot of space is spent on explaining the power of the robot dog on the battlefield.
The report pointed out that under the outstanding command of Comrade Sheng Tunan and the firepower attack of robot dogs that was more powerful than tanks, we achieved a major victory in this battle without losing a single soldier.
"Tuanan, isn't it a problem that the robot dog was reported so quickly?" Zhan Xinyue was a little worried.
Ouyang Zhenting and Ouyang Xiong had the same question. They sat down at the dinner table. Sheng Tunan drank a glass of juice and talked freely.
"This is a secret and an important weapon of our military. It should not be announced so quickly. However,"
Sheng Tunan paused for a moment before continuing, "We leave the impression on other countries that we are backward. We are backward in every aspect, economically, in high-tech talents, and in military strength. Many countries are eyeing us covetously."
"If we don't show our sharp fangs and claws, we will still be invaded and suppressed as before. Our international status will be very low, and we Chinese will be bullied abroad. Only when our country is strong can our people go abroad with dignity."
"After weighing the pros and cons, the leaders finally decided to make the robot dog public to deter other countries."
"Pa pa pa," Ouyang Zhenting's eyes filled with tears and he clapped excitedly.
When he was young, it was the darkest moment of the country. Ouyang Zhenting had seen poor parents selling their children just to exchange for two or three kilograms of food, and he had also encountered the Japanese devils robbing women in the street.
Unfortunately, at that time, his power was too weak to stop it.
During that period, his grandfather and father sold half of their property and donated it to the army. Good people will be rewarded. Just when the Japanese went to their house to rob, the People's Liberation Army came down from the sky like a god and saved them from the water.
"Tuanan, well done. Grandpa toasts to you." Ouyang Zhenting raised his glass.
Sheng Tunan immediately stood up and said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do as a soldier." After that, the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
Ouyang Xiong can't drink alcohol, so he drinks milk instead.
Several people ate and chatted at the table. After the meal, Ouyang Zhenting became more and more satisfied with Sheng Tunan. The drunk old man even shouted that he wanted to recognize him as his grandson.
Ouyang Xiong couldn't bear to watch, so he reminded the old man, "Dad, Tunan is the son-in-law of our Ouyang family. Your grandson-in-law is just like your own grandson."
"Yes, yes, yes, the same." The old man smiled and took another gulp from the cup.
Zhan Xinyue was afraid that grandpa would drink too much and harm his health, so she quickly changed a glass of boiled water for grandpa.
Ouyang Zhenting took a sip, smacked his lips, patted Sheng Tunan on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate Grandpa, I'm not drunk at all. The more I drink, the more sober I become. This wine is mellow but not intoxicating."
"Grandpa is so generous." Sheng Tunan gave a thumbs up. He looked around and asked Zhan Xinyue, "Why are father-in-law and Uncle Long not here?"
"Dad and Uncle Long have gone back to Hong Kong to deal with company matters. They will come back before the New Year to reunite together." Zhan Xinyue replied. It was unrealistic for her and Sheng Tunan to go to Hong Kong with their identities, so the Ouyang family decided to stay here for the New Year.
Today is the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days it will be the New Year's Eve, and Hong Chen will go home. Zhan Xinyue was thinking about her, so after dinner, she chatted with her grandfather for a while, checked Ouyang Xiong's pulse, changed the prescription, and then went back to Huanyu Island with Sheng Tunan.
Before the two of them went back, they specially packed up some Hong Kong-style pastries made by a top chef and divided them into six boxes. They sent three boxes to Shen Min'e at the Hai City Research Institute, and brought the rest to the island and gave one box each to Bai Yunyun, Hong Chen, and Aunt Xu.
Shen Min'e was very busy, so Sheng Tunan didn't disturb him. He left the box on the guardrail, wrote a note and left.
