Speaker Long and Minister Bai walked over and stood on either side of General Ji. They looked curiously at Gu Xiangwen, who was lying on the stretcher.
"Yes, he hasn't woken up yet. We need to rush him to the ward for emergency treatment." Chen Lie followed closely behind the stretcher. He nodded at General Ji, Speaker Long, and Minister Bai before quickly ordering for Gu Xiangwen to be wheeled away.
Huo Shaoheng stayed behind to report the trip to Barbados to the three chiefs.
"So, someone wants Gu Xiangwen's life in Barbados?" Speaker Long frowned. "What exactly happened? Did you find out?"
"No, we didn't have enough time. Our mission this time is to bring Gu Xiangwen back, so we can't complicate things." Huo Shaoheng sat down in front of the three chiefs of the Empire. "I also need to report to you about the situation in Barbados."
General Ji nodded, his hands clasped together on the conference table. Wearing his reading glasses, he lowered his head and looked at Huo Shaoheng over the top of his glasses. "Tell me, why did you almost get into trouble in Barbados?"
General Ji was shocked when he called in the middle of the night to urgently request for a helicopter from the Cuban military.
Huo Shaoheng was the successor he had painstakingly trained. He couldn't let him die in a small place like Barbados without knowing why.
"That incident had a lot to do with Gu Xiangwen." Huo Shaoheng began to describe the electric fence in the blue hole near the Gu's island. "We and the United States are the two countries with the furthest research on electric fences, but neither is as good as Gu Xiangwen's electric fence. Or, I should say, it's far inferior."
"How far?" Minister Bai asked gravely. "We can't underestimate ourselves."
"It's not a matter of underestimating ourselves. Let's put it this way. The electric fence we're researching now is like the peak technology of the cold weapon era, while Gu Xiangwen's electric fence is nuclear weapon technology. That's the difference. "
As soon as Huo Shaoheng finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
After a while, Speaker Long said hoarsely, "Are you sure? You're not exaggerating? "
"The electric fence is still in the blue hole. If you don't believe me, you can test it yourself." Huo Shaoheng didn't continue to explain.
The power of a weapon could only be seen by those who had seen it with their own eyes.
Those who had never seen it would not be able to understand it with words and imagination alone.
General Ji and Speaker Long looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
Minister Bai knocked on the conference table and said, "We should send someone over to take a look. Since it's so important, we can't give up on Barbados. "
"Gu Yanran finally agreed to let us bring Gu Xiangwen back to the Hua Xia Empire. She continued to investigate Gu Nianzhi's background in Barbados. The Barbados government has provided identification, but Gu Yanran still wants to check it herself. "
"It's no wonder. It's normal for her to be cautious about such an important matter. "Minister Bai said gently," But has Gu Nianzhi's identity been confirmed? "
"Yes, she is Gu Xiangwen's youngest daughter. We have already obtained Gu Xiangwen's youngest daughter Gu Nianzhi's medical and dental records in Barbados. At the same time, we did a DNA test based on the blood sample she left with the family doctor in Barbados. It proves that her DNA is identical to the youngest daughter of the Gu family in Barbados. This proves that she is the youngest daughter of the Gu family in Barbados who went missing seven years ago."
Huo Shaoheng took out the identification and passport issued by the Barbados government. "Gu Nianzhi is now considered a Barbadian, but since she and her father, Gu Xiangwen, have made great contributions to the Hua Xia Empire, I propose that Gu Nianzhi become a Hua Xia citizen."
The Hua Xia Empire was not a country of immigration, so it was very difficult for foreigners to naturalize and become citizens.
For decades, the Hua Xia Empire had only accepted less than 500 foreigners to become citizens.
Most of these people were foreign talents who had made special contributions to the Hua Xia Empire, and most of them were of Chinese descent.
"You can apply for this, and we will consider it." Minister Bai was now in charge of the cabinet government, so he was in charge of the naturalization and naturalization of foreign citizens.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and leaned back in his chair. He looked at Minister Bai leisurely. "How long will it take? I remember that if the conditions are met, there is a special processing time for this kind of situation. "
Minister Bai shook his head. "These things have their own established procedures. Shaoheng, I really can't give you a specific time."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at General Ji. General Ji shook his head slightly, so he didn't continue to ask.
After understanding the situation, Speaker Long and Minister Bai left the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
General Ji stayed behind.
The Special Operations Forces had always been directly under the military, so General Ji had more control over it.
"General Ji, you have to urge them about Nianzhi." Huo Shaoheng and General Ji walked to the Special Operations Forces' medical building together.
It was almost summer, and the path leading to the medical building was covered by greenery. The trees on the side of the road were verdant, and unknown wildflowers exuded their fragrance. From time to time, the crisp chirping of birds broke the silence of the base.
General Ji laughed and teased Huo Shaoheng. "Minister Bai didn't say he wouldn't agree. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"We saved her by a hair's breadth. Don't let those bureaucrats waste precious opportunities." Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and said meaningfully, "… Gu Yanran isn't someone who will give up easily. She's still confirming Nianzhi's identity. Once it's confirmed, she will definitely come to the Hua Xia Empire to declare her sovereignty. "
"You mean she will ask Gu Xiangwen and Gu Nianzhi to return to the Gu family?" General Ji understood what Huo Shaoheng meant and immediately said, "Then there's no need to say anything. I'll go discuss it with Old Long right away. The Senate has special authority regarding naturalization. If the Senate has already approved it, Old Bai's cabinet can't do anything about it. "
Huo Shaoheng wanted a quick end to the battle.
Gu Nianzhi's identity had been dragged on for too long. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the problem in one go, who knew how much trouble there would be in the future …
General Ji left the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces and went to Speaker Long's Senate to have a secret discussion with him for nearly two hours.
In the evening, when the Ministry of the Interior was about to close, they received a call from the Senate saying that the Senate had just passed a special vote to accept two foreigners for naturalization. The relevant departments of the Ministry of the Interior were to immediately process the procedures without delay.
The Department of the Interior in charge of naturalization was in an uproar.
They had never encountered such a situation before. Although the Senate had the final authority, they had never exercised it before. This was the first time they had made an exception for Gu Xiangwen and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Xiangwen's value was too great, and Gu Nianzhi's blueprints from seven years ago were enough to qualify as a person with "special contributions."
The relevant departments of the Ministry of the Interior immediately worked overtime to process the naturalization procedures for Gu Xiangwen and Gu Nianzhi.
Official documents were sent out and stamped one by one. When they finally gathered on Minister Bai's desk, it was already the early hours of the next morning.
Minister Bai saw that it was a special letter from Speaker Long and didn't obstruct it. He signed it with a flourish.
From then on, Gu Nianzhi and Gu Xiangwen became citizens of the Huaxia Empire with Huaxia Imperial passports and identification cards.
…
Gu Nianzhi's trip to Barbados was extremely tiring. After returning, she went to her room to rest and slept for almost 24 hours.
When she finally woke up, she looked at the light of dawn outside the window. She had a feeling that she didn't know what day it was.
When she fell asleep, it seemed to be the first light of dawn. She didn't expect to wake up at this time. How long had she slept?
Gu Nianzhi stretched and lifted the blankets to get out of bed. Just as she put on her shoes, she saw a burgundy booklet on the bedside table from the corner of her eye.
She reached out to take it and saw that it was a new Huaxia Imperial passport. Gu Nianzhi's name and photo were on it.
Underneath the passport was a new identification card. It was different from the one she used before.
What did this mean?
Gu Nianzhi flipped the passport and identification card over and over again.
Huo Shaoheng knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing that she was finally awake, he said, "Hurry up and get up. Are you hungry? Breakfast is downstairs in the dining room. "
Gu Nianzhi held up the passport and identification card for Huo Shaoheng to see. "Huo Shao, what does this mean?"
"Yeah, this is your new passport and identification card." Huo Shaoheng sat down on the armchair beside her bed. "Your identity has been restored. You are now a naturalized citizen of our country."
So her previous passport and identification card were invalid.
Gu Nianzhi gasped and scratched her head. She smiled sheepishly. "I didn't think that even my identity would change after I woke up from my sleep."
"Aren't you happy?" Huo Shaoheng was a bit surprised. "Your current identity is the one with the real legal effect."
"Then I used a fake passport and identification card before …" Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. "Why didn't you wait for me to wake up and ask me?"
"You were sleeping too soundly, so I didn't wake you up." Huo Shaoheng originally wanted to tell her that he had already prepared the marriage report as soon as the new passport and identification card were ready.
He had just received the news that the military had begun a background check on Gu Nianzhi. However, seeing her listless expression, he swallowed his words.
