But the Bureau Chief asked, "Xiao Zhao, when did you become so hesitant?
What do the soldiers want? "
I said softly, "The soldiers want to take a picture with you."
The Bureau Chief said happily, "Well, that's easy.
Xiao Zhao, arrange a time. "
I was secretly happy. From the Bureau Chief's expression, I could see that he was happy to accept this request.
I nodded and said, "Bureau Chief, when do you think it's convenient?"
The Bureau Chief thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, or the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
How about this, tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm, what do you think? "
I said, "Okay, Bureau Chief, I'll arrange it."
The Bureau Chief nodded and continued walking.
Actually, when accompanying the Bureau Chief for a walk in the guard area, we guards don't need to dress too formally. The Bureau Chief usually doesn't wear formal clothes either.
We only wear formal suits when we have important meetings or when we go abroad.
Of course, because of this, we rarely have the chance to wear military uniforms. Unless we go abroad to inspect foreign troops, we may have the chance to wear formal clothes like the armed police uniform.
Strictly speaking, we belong to the People's Liberation Army. Many people mistake the Central Special Guards Regiment for the armed police, but that's not the case.
Many media outlets even report on us as the armed police (as long as it doesn't violate the rules).
Dressing more casually doesn't mean that we can let down our guard.
Actually, accompanying the Bureau Chief for a walk isn't an easy task.
Especially when the Bureau Chief has to leave the guard area.
For example, when the Bureau Chief went out for a walk, he was disturbed by people.
As guards, we have to react quickly and deal with it flexibly. Otherwise, it will lead to irreparable political consequences.
Strictly speaking, although we have to take precautions against people, this is classified as an internal conflict. On one hand, we have to prevent the Bureau Chief from being too distracted. On the other hand, we have to persuade people to take the normal route and deal with it in the department.
However, there are often some people who take the extreme route and do some extreme things, such as threatening guards to stop the Bureau Chief, or even kneeling and begging to get close to the Bureau Chief, etc.
We don't allow these things to happen. Once they happen, it will be considered a security accident.
You Meng and I accompanied the Bureau Chief to the Bureau Chief's office.
There were several military vehicles parked in the courtyard. According to the license plate numbers, I judged that two of them belonged to the Military Commission, and the other one belonged to the Chief of the Armed Police Force.
It seemed that the chief was holding a brief meeting with the important leaders of the military world.
After the Bureau Chief entered, he greeted the Bureau Chief and several other military leaders and started to discuss national affairs and military affairs in the conference room.
All the security personnel.
They retreated, leaving only the chief's two guards on duty at the door.
In this case, we can relax a little after escorting the chief to his destination. After all, the security here is quite tight. While the chiefs are discussing state affairs, we can communicate with each other or find our own places to relax.
I walked out of the villa and walked around the gate. The sentinel greeted me politely. I returned the greeting and told the sentinel not to be so polite.
Walking around on the spot, he browsed through the magnolia flowers in the courtyard. It was a different kind of mood.
At this moment, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a tall and sturdy man walk out.
I wasn't particularly familiar with this man, but I knew his identity.
He was the personal guard of a Chief of the Military Commission, Wu Yuhai.
Wu Yuhai was an armed special police officer who had followed a Chief of the Military Commission for many years. He was once known as the 'Fierce General' of the Military Commission.
In fact, Wu Yuhai was an officer of the Armed Police Force. Because of his strong fighting ability, he was later transferred to the Military Commission to work as a guard.
To be exact, whether it was the Chief's guard or the Chief of the Military Commission's guard, there was a certain difference between them and our Special Guard Regiment.
According to the division of security, the Special Guard Regiment was mainly responsible for the security of the nine members of the Standing Committee. As for the Chief's guard, it was usually the Armed Police Force of the Ministry of Public Security or the Garrison Force.
To be honest, our Special Guard Regiment was responsible for the security of the highest leaders in the whole of China.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the Secret Service could be regarded as a unique branch that covered the China Security Force in the world with a layer of mysterious veil.
What I didn't expect was that Wu Yuhai would take the initiative to approach me and ask, "Excuse me, which department are you from?"
I didn't want to talk to strangers at this time, so I said perfunctorily, "I've been in every department." I didn't have the confidence to say this because the one I followed the most was the Chief.
Wu Yuhai smiled and said, "I'm the Security Secretary of the Military Commission's Chief. My name is Wu Yuhai. May I ask who you are?"
I explained, "My name is Zhao Long."
Wu Yuhai was stunned and asked, "You're the one who defeated the guards of the heads of the various countries and got second place in the World Guard Exchange Conference, Zhao Long?"
I nodded and said humorously, "That's right."
Wu Yuhai laughed and said, "We've heard about your deeds. It's true. Your [Triple Kick] and [Triple Punch] are really powerful. It has reached the peak of perfection."
I said politely, "Secretary Wu, you're too kind."
Secretary Wu continued, "It's true. Your name has spread throughout our Armed Police Force. I've been looking forward to meeting you and seeing what the legendary national hero looks like!"
I smiled and said, "Secretary Wu, where did you hear about it?"
Secretary Wu smiled and invited me to the corridor on the west side of the building. He handed me a cigarette and said, "Do you think you can keep such a big achievement under wraps?
You're now a living example in our Armed Police Force.
Before this, I had long wanted to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's an honor. "
Secretary Wu lit the cigarette for me. I took a puff and looked around. After confirming that it was safe, I felt relieved and started to smoke.
Actually, in the vicinity of the Chief's building, smoking wasn't allowed. But sometimes, due to social activities and the addiction to smoking, we would secretly take a few cigarettes.
Secretary Wu's smoking posture was quite cool, very much like Xu Wenqiang in the movie. He stepped on the stairs of the side door with one foot in the shape of a bow. His slightly melancholic eyes looked left and right as he said, "Secretary Zhao, do you know why the chief of the military commission is here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know."
Secretary Wu said, "In a few days, the Chief of the Military Commission will visit Russia, Britain, and other military powers. The Chief attaches great importance to this, so he called the Chief of the Military Commission here for a meeting."
I didn't have a good impression of Secretary Wu's blabbermouth. According to the confidentiality rules of the guards, he shouldn't have told anyone about the Chief's plan.
The Chief's itinerary was top secret. Before it was implemented, it wasn't allowed to be spread to anyone.
I pinched my nose and insinuated, "Secretary Wu, you trust me so much. Aren't you afraid that I will leak the plan of the Chief of the Military Commission?"
Secretary Wu was a little surprised and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we're all on the same side."
I said, "Sometimes, the people who betray you are often on the same side."
Secretary Wu was a little surprised and then smiled, "Secretary Zhang, you're exaggerating."
"It's not heavy at all," I said with a straight face.
It's best not to talk about this kind of thing. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
I tried to talk to Secretary Wu in a serious tone. In fact, I wasn't making a big fuss over nothing. I just liked to poke my nose into other people's business. I was a little worried about Secretary Wu's blabbermouth.
Although there are certain differences between our Special Guards Bureau and other security forces, our existence is more or less the same.
One of the most important things was confidentiality.
Confidentiality was the most basic discipline of the security forces, especially the security forces around the country's leaders.
Although Secretary Wu didn't have any hidden dangers by telling me the plan of the Chief of the Military Commission, it violated the confidentiality rules.
For this kind of thing, not to mention the security forces who weren't familiar with it, even the leaders and subordinates had to keep it strictly confidential to a certain extent.
As the saying goes, honest words are unpleasant to the ear. Secretary Wu seemed to be a little angry with my attitude and said coldly, "Secretary Zhao, I'm telling you this because I trust you."
I asked back, "This is the first time you've come in contact with me, and you believe me so easily?"
There was a hidden meaning in my words.
Secretary Wu said hesitantly, "Secretary Zhao, why are you like this? We are all members of the country's security forces. Is there anything wrong with trusting each other?"
I patted Secretary Wu's shoulder and said, "It's true that we trust each other, but no matter how much we trust each other, there are some things that can't be said openly.
Our security work is about being foolproof. We have to keep the target's activities secret, not just the outside world. "
Secretary Wu was still a little displeased, "Secretary Zhao is more like my leader. Our leaders often scold me like this." There was a hint of blame in his words.
I said, "I don't have the qualifications to be your leader, but as one of us, I'm just reminding you that you can't let your guard down!"
Secretary Wu smiled awkwardly and shook his head slightly. He seemed to be very unhappy that I spoke to him with this attitude.
However, I was a person who liked to poke my nose into other people's business. If I didn't like something, I would say it. If I found that someone had made a mistake, I would also mention it without holding back.
Of course, my starting point wasn't to belittle others, but to help others.
This principle wouldn't change at any time.
On the other hand, Secretary Wu wasn't too narrow-minded. Towards my bluntness, he laughed at himself, then began to change the topic, "Secretary Zhao, if I have time, I'll come visit you. I hope you can give me some face."
I said, "I don't dare, I don't dare.
There's something I don't understand. Can you ask me about it? "
Secretary Wu smiled and said, "You're too polite.
As long as I know something, I will definitely tell you. "
I asked, "As far as I know, the Beijing Garrison is in charge of the security work for the head of the Military Commission, right?"
Secretary Wu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and probed, "Secretary Zhao, you wouldn't deliberately let me leak the secret, right?"
I blushed and said, "Look at what you're saying. This isn't considered leaking the secret."
