As time goes by, many people leave and many people come. Life is a feast of uncertain gathering and separation. There is a beginning and there must be an end. Whether it is a comedy or a tragedy, the moment of the end will always come as scheduled.

In the third year when Xia Xiang served as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, Mr. Qiu sued others.

In the fifth year, Mr. Mei passed away.

When Xia Xiang's second political standing committee had just begun and his ranking jumped from last to fifth place, he was already a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China, President of the Central Party School, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China, and Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China, which was equivalent to completely firmly taking the position of successor. Although Wu Caiyang had already stepped down at this time, Xia Xiang had long grown from a forest to a majestic mountain. Even without Wu Caiyang's escort for him, his position was stable and unshakable.

Another favorable condition for Xia Xiang is that after Wu Caiyang retreated, Mei Shengping entered the Changchang period. What’s more interesting is that Fu Xianfeng also entered the game. Xia Xiang’s status is as solid as a rock in the situation where Mei Shengping and Fu Xianfeng is in the upper part.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Wu can rest in peace.

Mr. Wu used all his strength to hold Xia Xiang's hand. His face was not sadness, but satisfaction without regret: "Xia Xiang, I'm leaving. When people get old, there will always be a day to leave, otherwise it will be a burden. I'm very happy and satisfied with your achievements now. It's a pity that I can't see you reaching the top of the day..."

When Mr. Qiu passed away, Xia Xiang didn't cry, and when Mr. Mei left, he couldn't hold back his tears, but when Mr. Wu, who cared for him the most, always regarded him as a relative, was about to be a member of others. Even if he was now one of the leaders of the country, he could not control his inner emotions. Tears rushed out.

"Old man..." In the face of life and death, any language is as pale as paper.

"Why are I crying? I have lived enough. According to folk sayings, I am dead now, which is considered a joyful and joyful delight. I am still walking in front of Lao Gu. He can live better than me..."

Suddenly, the old man seemed to have improved a lot, and his eyes were shining with a strange look. But the force in his hand slowly disappeared, and Xia Xiang felt even more heartbroken. The old man's last light of life was burning extraordinaryly, and it was a rebirth.

"One of the things I have been worried about throughout my life is that when you were in Yanshi, I attacked you in anger. For many years, I have been avoiding this issue, but I am actually escaping. This matter has always been my heart disease, and now I am going to die. Xia Xiang, don't think it's too late, I want to say sorry to you in person. The past was indeed my fault. I shouldn't be ruthless against a young man..."

"Old man, stop talking!" Xia Xiang burst into tears. He always knew that the old man had always remembered the things that happened back then and never forgot it. It was just that the old man never mentioned it, and he still respected the old man's self-esteem. Moreover, the old man's care and love for him over the years had long made up for the harm he had back then.

He also knows the old man’s heart? An old man who is stubborn, self-esteem and unwilling to admit defeat is also stubborn and cute. He has never hated the old man at all!

The old man's love for him has even surpassed his love for the descendants of the Wu family. How could he still resent an old man who made an angry move to protect his granddaughter?

"If you don't say it, you won't have a chance to say it." The old man ignored Xia Xiang's objection and continued to say the last words in his life, "Xia Xiang, I love you for so many years, you have not disappointed me, I have also rested in peace in the underworld. You are a good child, and I have always regarded you as more close than your grandson..."

Xia Xiang was so heartbroken that he could no longer speak and could hardly stand. He thought he was very strong and did not want to be too weak to have the strength when facing the old man's life and death.

"Child, can you call me grandpa?"

"Grandpa!" Xia Xiang burst into tears.

Mr. Wu closed his eyes with a smile, and forever closed his wise eyes that had conquered countless people!

The death of a century old man has fallen into grief.

The death of Mr. Wu has a great blow to Lao Gu. Lao Gu, who is already old, looks at Gu Lai who is growing up, and faces the coming death so peacefully. However, the deaths of several old men made him feel lonely. It seems that without the company of several old people, it is meaningless to live alone in the world.

Now Lao Gu is the only remaining old man. Xia Xiang poured all his filial piety into him and specially brought his parents from Shancheng to accompany Lao Gu.

Xia Xiang had never seen his grandfather since he was a child, and his grandmother died when he was very young. His filial piety to the elderly may also be due to the lack of love between grandparents in childhood.

Perhaps based on the same feeling, Xia Tiancheng, who lost his father in his early years, took care of Lao Gu very carefully. With Xia Tiancheng and Zhang Lan, Lao Gu's mental state improved a lot, because of his love for Xia Xiang, he regarded Xia Tiancheng and Zhang Lan as his family.

I hope that my parents can make up for the pain of losing his son by Lao Gu. Xia Xiang was worried about the national affairs and thought about the elderly around him very carefully.

...A few years later, Xia wants to reach the top!

Shortly after Xia Xiang reached the top, the Chinese government declared the South China Sea as a waters of China and claimed that national sovereignty cannot be violated. Any exploitation within China's waters is regarded as a war provocation against China.

On the third day of the policy announcement, the small country of South Vietnam, inspired by his master, dispatched warships to the South China Sea to show off its power to test China's reaction. In fact, it also wanted to test Xia Xiang's bottom line, or in other words, it wanted to know whether Xia Xiang had controlled the overall situation and whether he had mastered the army when he had just reached the top.

The deeper intention is that although the United States has long known that Xia Xiang is a hardliner, he does not believe that Xia Xiang really dared to launch a war just now. Moreover, the United States' more sinister idea is that if Xia Xiang can tolerate the provocations of small countries in the South China Sea, then his bold words before reaching the top are just empty talk.

The small country in the South China Sea dispatched several warships. As soon as it entered the designated Chinese waters, it was suddenly attacked by a submarine and was sunk three warships on the spot. The remaining two warships were completely wiped out by the Chinese aircraft carrier that happened to pass by while fleeing in a panic.

When the news came out, international public opinion was in an uproar.

The United States immediately accused China of being an unstable factor, trying to kidnap South China Sea countries by force, and claimed that it would list China as a country with weapons of mass destruction and impose comprehensive sanctions on China.

As soon as the United States' accusation ended, China announced that China's fifth aircraft carrier will be put into service this year. At the same time, China's newly developed intercontinental missile with a range of 14,000 kilometers can surpass any defense system in the world.

What is even more shocking is that Xia Xiang answered a reporter's question in an interview with Western media, expressing regret for the sinking of warships of the small South Vietnamese country, but at the same time it shows that the South China Sea owes China a war. If any country wants to test China's patience, it can be a pawn. The gun is shot out, and China's steel gun has been polished.

"The Chinese government has the confidence, determination and strength to win one or several local wars. Mr. Zheng said back then that, in terms of geographical location, South Vietnam is also very close to China. I want to say, extending to the whole of Asia and Europe are very close to China."

Xia Xiang's words immediately caused an uproar internationally, because Xia Xiang's words were not only imposing themselves, but also had a clear implication, that is, China not only wanted to place Asia within its own sphere of influence, but also Europe was in a big circle he drew.

Many years ago, there was a song that sang: "An old man drew a circle on the South China Sea..." Many years later, a middle-aged man drew a circle on the world map...

After Xia Xiang's speech, the small Japanese country was furious and told the Chinese ambassador to Japan to explain the Chinese government's foreign policy.

However, China ignored the unreasonable acts of Japan's small country. Not only did it unilaterally announce the demarcation of the East China Sea waters, but it also publicly claimed that it understood the legitimate demands of Ryukyu.

Ryukyu has always been a pain in the hearts of the small countries in Japan. The small countries in Japan are already small. If you go out with Ryukyu, it will become a small place and will lose its strategic advantages. The official remarks of China immediately aroused the anger of the small countries in Japan.

If you are angry, you will be angry. The Taiwan issue has been pinned by others for countless years, and now it is a pleasure to pinch other people's weaknesses occasionally. In a rage, the small Japanese country proposed a threat to reconcile. China immediately recalled the ambassador to Japan to respond with a tough response.

Seeing that the situation was tense, the small country in South Vietnam surrendered, and the United States surprisingly remained silent after China announced the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Asia-European interests circle.

Silence shows that under China's tough attitude, the United States retreated. The United States' retreat was not scared away by Xia Xiang's tough words. As the oldest rogue country in the world, it has always believed that strength is supreme and has never been scared by big talk.

It is because the news received by the United States from specific channels shows that China under Xia Xiang's leadership has become so strong that the United States cannot suppress it.

After the United States remained silent for less than a week, the small Japanese country began to take a series of proactive measures to repair relations with China... In response to the small Japanese country, China announced that it would hold an unprecedented military parade during the National Day of the year. The location of the military parade was not in the capital, but was held in two places.

One is the East China Sea and the other is the South China Sea. At that time, Xia Xiang will personally board the aircraft carrier and attend two military parades.

In the first year after Xia Xiang reached the top, the world situation changed drastically and entered a new round of reshuffle!

In the east of the world, a dazzling red sun is rising, a new era, and the most glorious era - known in history as the Xia Xiang era - is about to arrive in full swing.
