Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1143 - Stark Contras

Chapter 1143 Stark Contras

Although it was broad daylight, the corridors dimmed immediately.Gu Nianzhi calmly moved closer to Speaker Long, then stood directly to his left.

Speaker Long was surrounded by many staff members, and most of those staff members were military and police bodyguards sent from the Huaxia Empire.

They were extremely capable, whether it was in terms of combat abilities or expertise with firearms. They were the creme de la creme especially appointed as security guards for visiting leaders.

Gu Nianzhi stood beside Speaker Long. The guards and security changed their positions and occupied several important locations in the corridor. They surrounded her and Speaker Long.

With such tight protection, as long as one wasn’t a fool or an absolute raving lunatic, one wouldn’t even think about attacking such a tightly protected circle.

Since the ambassador, consul, and other key personnel of the embassy in India were involved in a car accident, the only embassy staff who accompanied Speaker Long this time were Special Assistant Yang and his several assistants.

But because he was not a person of ambassador-level rank, after all, he wasn’t qualified to follow Speaker Long.

So even he was excluded from the circle of protection.

Speaker Long also took great care of Gu Nianzhi. He stretched out his arm to help her, and whispered, “You stay by my side, and don’t go anywhere.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded. Of course, she knew that things wouldn’t be too peaceful this time, but just because things wouldn’t be too quiet, did that mean she had to hide at home without going anywhere?

Hehe, how thick-skinned would that be?

She knew that as long as she was close to Speaker Long, she would be safe.

Sure enough, when she and Speaker Long were firmly protected together, several people who were about to head in her direction quietly retreated.

At a hidden place on the building across from them, several snipers found that no matter how they aimed, they couldn’t get a good aim at Gu Nianzhi’s head.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know that someone was aiming at her. Still, after following Huo Shaoheng for many years, she also understood where she should stand in order to avoid the aim of a sniper rifle when the situation became chaotic.

For her, this was not about adapting to changes, but about common sense that was ingrained in her.

The Vice President of India did not expect that they would encounter a power outage when they visited the hospital. He was very embarrassed and shouted at his entourage, “What’s the issue? The power is out. Is there no backup power here?!”

There should have been a backup power supply in the hospital.

The entourage immediately said, “I’ll call and ask.”

Not long after a call was made, a sudden rush of footsteps sounded from behind.

They looked back and saw that medical staff in white coats were coming over.

Someone said loudly, “Please make way! There has been an accident in the pediatric ward! Please make way. Let us pass!”

Speaker Long and the rest of them quickly moved to a place against the wall and watched the group of medical staff in white coats run past them.

Gu Nianzhi held on to Speaker Long and stood against the inner wall, intentionally avoiding the outer wall.

Because she knew that the outer wall was not as safe as the inner wall.

She didn’t know how thick the walls of this hospital were, but she knew that if she stood close to the outer wall, a sniper could blow her brains out.

Gu Nianzhi’s judgment was indeed very accurate.

The sniper hiding in the high-rise on the opposite building tried several times but found that the target was getting farther and farther away from the outer wall, and then simply walked to the inner wall.

Through the outer wall, there were many other obstacles between them and the target.

In that case, unless they used a missile to destroy the entire floor, the target couldn’t be eliminated.

Snipers weren’t useful at that time.

Time passed. Every minute and every second ticked by. That floor couldn’t stay out of power forever, and their people couldn’t lead the target person into a place where the sniper could aim at them.

Just as the electricity in the hospital building was finally restored, there was also a low voice heard giving a command.

“Pull back.”

The snipers finally received the order to retreat. They quickly put away their sniper rifles, then evacuated from the opposite building.

...

Gu Nianzhi blinked.

The electricity was back. The corridor was bright again, and everyone almost cheered.

The Vice President of India walked over and said proudly, “Our power system is very efficient. You see, the power has been restored after only 15 minutes of power failure.”

Speaker Long nodded politely. “It’s really quite efficient. But is there an operating room here? Is there a backup power supply in the operating room?”

“There probably is. How is it possible for there to be no backup power supply in the operating room?” The Vice President of India said with a smile and walked forward with Speaker Long.

At that moment, someone suddenly opened the front doors, and out came the medical staff that had rushed in earlier.

Their faces were very sullen.

Speaker Long, “...”

The expression on the face of the Vice President of India grew dark. “What’s wrong with you? This is the visiting speaker of the upper house of the Huaxia Empire Assembly, and he made this special trip to see your superb medical skills.”

The medical staff blushed.

The doctor-like man standing in the front said dejectedly, “Your Excellency Vice President, because of the power outage just now, there was a problem with the oxygen supply in several pediatric intensive care units...”

“Something went wrong?” The Vice President of India frowned. “If something goes wrong, solve the problem. What’s the point of telling me?!”

Speaker Long laughed, then turned around and said, “That’ll be enough for today. Let’s go and see places elsewhere.”

It was obvious that there had been a medical accident, and Speaker Long did not want to get involved with other countries’ messy affairs.

He originally planned to seize the opportunity to see the ambassador and embassy staff injured in the car accident, but now he had to change his plans.

Before they left, they heard the doctor-like person say sadly, “...We just discovered that forty-six severely ill babies have died due to a lack of oxygen.”

Gu Nianzhi shuddered but dared not look back. She walked faster as she followed behind Speaker Long.

The Vice President of India didn’t expect that he himself would encounter this sort of incident. To shirk responsibility, he immediately said, “Hurry up and call the head of the hospital to deal with this matter. We still have distinguished guests accompanying us. We are leaving.”

...

After leaving the public hospital, the Vice President of India caught up to them without mentioning what happened inside the hospital and took them to the public school.

The public school in New Delhi, the capital of India, should be the best facility for them to visit, right?

But upon seeing the gray outer wall of the school building, as well as the trash scattered everywhere on the playground, and the children running around wearing dirty clothes, Gu Nianzhi’s view of India became even more negative.

But Speaker Long didn’t appear contemptuous at all.

He chatted with those children patiently, gave them stationery and books produced from the Huaxia Empire, and finally took photos with the teachers and students there.

Since Gu Nianzhi had been following Speaker Long closely and was standing beside him, she also took a picture with the teachers and students of that public elementary school in India.

Special Assistant Yang led the embassy staff and stood outside to take pictures of them.

When Rong Mingxing saw Gu Nianzhi smiling brightly in front of the camera, she sighed a little inside.

This appeared to be the first time the Vice President of India came to this public school. The dirtiness there was beyond his imagination, and he couldn’t help but complain to his entourage, “...Why didn’t you find a better school? How can such a school be on public display?”

His entourage said awkwardly, “...This is already the best public elementary school in New Delhi. Other public schools are even worse.”

The vice president glared at him. “Then take them to a private school!”

He couldn’t let these people from the Huaxia Empire look down upon them.

Soon after they left the public school, they were taken to a place where there was the fragrance of birds and flowers, and a school as clean as the top private schools in Europe and America.

The school buildings here were snow-white, tall, and of a European-style. The lawns were green, and there were flower beds. In early summer, the flowers were vivid, and bees, as well as butterflies, swarmed.

The male and female students were all dressed in British-style school uniforms. There were handsome men and beautiful women. In appearance, they didn’t look like typical Indians, but more like white people.

The Vice President of India said airily, “We Indians are mainly Aryans, who were originally white. As for the darker people, most of them are Dravidians. They are not white.”

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and smirked without saying anything.

In reality, the Dravidian people were the true ancient Indians. They created the ancient Indian civilization that made India one of the four greatest ancient civilizations.

But they were conquered by the Aryans. As a result, their civilization was not only destroyed, but their descendants also became slaves and untouchables.

A staff member asked curiously, “This is also a public school? It’s not easy to get in here, right?”

After all, this was a different world from the public school they had just seen.

In the eyes of the people of the Huaxia Empire, they probably thought this was a prestigious middle school, and the one they saw earlier had been an ordinary school.

The Vice President of India was embarrassed by the question, and after mumbling a few words, he changed the topic.

Seeing that he didn’t say whether it was public or private, they knew that this was definitely not a public school...

The staff from the Indian school had already rushed over and spent the afternoon with the Vice President and Speaker Long.

When it was getting dark, the Indian Vice President apologized to Speaker Long profusely. “Your Excellency, I am going to Gujarat to attend the state banquet hosted by the Prime Minister for the Prime Minister of Japan. I will not be able to accompany you for the time being. I will try my best to rush over here tomorrow morning and accompany you as you continue the tour.”

Speaker Long’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, “Please feel free to do whatever you like, and we would also like to visit our country’s ambassador and staff. I heard that they had a car accident. I hope the Indian police can do more to deal with the accident as soon as possible.”

The standard vehicles of diplomatic institutions had consular immunity in other countries, let alone the ambassador’s convoy.

Speaker Long originally planned to visit the hospital today to see the injured ambassador and embassy staff. Unexpectedly, there was a power outage and a medical accident in the pediatric ward, so he had to leave the hospital.

Seeing that the Indians were obviously giving them the cold treatment, Speaker Long felt faint-hearted, and he intended to go home immediately after handling the embassy accident.

The Vice President of India was taken aback and gave Special Assistant Yang a quick glance.

Special Assistant Yang came over and said to Speaker Long, “Speaker Long, I can take you to see the ambassador. I stayed with the ambassador all night last night and left this morning.”
