"At the last meeting, the work of the Military Commission was questioned, and some people thought that your second grandfather was too old to continue to lead the country." Ye Ziping said to his son Ye Kai.

The matter at the meeting of the Central Political Bureau, if there are no more sensitive matters involved, Ye Ziping does not mind talking about the parts related to the old Ye family with Ye Kai.

"Do they have a better candidate?" Ye Kai asked rhetorically with a frown.

"It was proposed that Lieutenant General Tan Shengguo be added as the deputy head of the Central Military Commission." Ye Ziping replied.

"Tan Shengguo? He's just a lieutenant general......" Ye Kai was a little surprised, but he immediately thought of something, "Oh, could it be that he is Tan Shengjie's brother?" It seems that Comrade Jiang Cheng and his family are in the group. ”

When Mr. Tan was alive, he had four sons, who were named after the words "country, zhi, hao, and jie", but only two survived later, that is, Lieutenant General Tan Shengguo, who served as vice president of the Military University, and Tan Shengjie, deputy director of the Central Office.

It's just that this Lieutenant General Tan Shengguo belongs to the Wenzhi faction, he has been working in the military university before, far away from the smoke of gunpowder, but his official luck is excellent, and now he is only in his early fifties, but he is already an official lieutenant general, and he has reached the red line of promotion again.

It is said that Comrade Jiang Cheng was able to ascend to the post, and there was Fang and Comrade Appreciation behind him, and his subordinates relied on the assistance of the two Tan brothers, who complemented each other with one article and one martial arts, and indeed made a lot of plans and strategies for Comrade Jiang Cheng.

Now that Comrade Jiang Cheng has gradually secured the position of the No. 1 chief, the heroes who should be rewarded have naturally begun to surface one by one, and the two Tan brothers are the first to be rewarded.

Strictly speaking, although the Tan brothers are princelings, from the perspective of experience, they should also be classified as academics, especially since they also have a lot of supporters in the academy, and these people are all supporters of Comrade Jiang Cheng.

"In the first two years, Comrade Jiang Cheng basically avoided meddling in military affairs, so the power of our old Ye family in the military grew rapidly, but now that the situation has changed, his position is firm, and he is thinking about taking power, which is also expected." Ye Ziping sighed and said.

What do you mean by that? The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking.

From the traditional concept of the Chinese people, if he does not grasp the military power in his hands, he will not have the full confidence to sit in the position of the leading brother, so it is inevitable that he will reach out to the military affairs to ask for power.

"However, it is not appropriate to let the Wenzhi faction lead the troops." Ye Kai pointed out unceremoniously, "As far as their kind of civilian generals who have never even fought a battle, they have no blood at all, and if they bring a few soldiers down, the eagle will also be brought into a little chicken." The military power can let some of it out, but Tan Shengguo wants to enter the decision-making level of the military committee, and there is no door, and the old Ye family must resist it with all his might! Not only must the old Ye family resist with all their might, but the military bosses also need to form a consensus, if they want to be in the inner circle of the Military Commission, they must be unanimously recognized by everyone! ”

Ye Ziping said, "Your tone is too big, but this matter is relatively big, and your grandfather and they have to think about it carefully." In my opinion, most of them cannot be stopped, and it is said that Comrade Jiang Cheng's opinion seems to be quite resolute. ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, this is a major matter related to the future of the army, and we must not give in." Ye Kai said.

Ye Ziping felt a little strange, he didn't know what kind of crazy son was smoking, what does this kind of thing have to do with him?

Besides, now Comrade Jiang Cheng's position has become more and more stable, although several high-level bigwigs have the same important right to speak, but it is impossible not to give him face, although Old Man Ye is sure to stay in office, but his energy is definitely not as good as before, at most he plays a role in the ring, and there is no need to fight Comrade Jiang Cheng in the ring.

"It's not a trivial matter, I'm just taking precautions." Ye Kai saw that his father didn't understand his opinion a little and was a little depressed, but there were some things that he couldn't say.

Can he say that the army twenty years later has been turned into a flock of sheep by the Wenzhi faction?

No one will believe this kind of thing.

The modernization of the armed forces must certainly be carried out, and the armed forces must also escort the modernization of the country, but it is impossible for the armed forces not to fight for 100 years, and what is the difference between an army that has not experienced the baptism of war and the militia? Or maybe not as good as the militia in wartime.

After talking to his father, Ye Kai hung up the phone with the second old man and talked about it.

"It can't be stopped, No. 1's attitude is very resolute, Tan Shengguo's own conditions have reached the red line of promotion, it is estimated that this appointment will be passed, and it is impossible for the old Ye family to make a statement in the army, otherwise they will attack it en masse." The second old man also scratched his head a little about this matter.

From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't have a good impression of Tan Shengguo, he knows this person, he likes to talk rhetorically, but he is unrealistic, he is very good at playing with false things, and he has no unique views on military affairs.

"A lion can turn a flock of sheep into a lion, and a sheep can turn a flock of lions into sheep." Ye Kai said, "Anyway, there are many disadvantages of the Wenzhi faction governing the army, and this case cannot be opened, otherwise twenty years later, if we want to fight again, we will not even have any available soldiers." In the original self-defense counterattack against Annan, did you learn less lessons? ”

At the beginning of the war against Annan, it was because the army had not experienced a major war for decades, and as a result, it was close to degradation in all aspects, and it suffered serious losses at the beginning of contact, and the losses were quite heavy.

Old Man Ye was naturally very clear about this matter, so when Ye Kai mentioned this matter, he was also very thoughtful.

"Your grandfather may not have the idea of objecting." The second old man said.

If only the second old man opposes it alone, it will naturally be unstoppable, but if the old man Ye also opposes it, it is easy to form a bad impression that the old Ye family wants to control the military power, so that there are many gossiping people, and it is not good for the future development of the old Ye family.

Now that the old Ye family has arrived, there is no room for development between the old man Ye and the second old man, they have reached the top, and the hope of the next second generation is tied to Ye Ziping's body, and now that Ye Ziping has entered the game, he will be expected to enter the normal world in the future, offending too many powerful figures, it is really not appropriate.

Therefore, whether it is Old Man Ye or Second Old Man, they are unwilling to obviously block Tan Shengguo's ascension.

It's just that what Ye Kai said is not unreasonable, this question is difficult to choose, and it is a headache.

"If it's something that I can do alone, it's easy to do." The second old man sighed and said.

Ye Kai patted his head, and suddenly had an idea, "There is a way." ”

"How?" When the second old man heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised.

"Didn't they embarrass you about the coup d'état in the Soviet Union, let's also follow the example and use the American thing to embarrass them, which is called courtesy exchanges, which not only do things, but also make people unable to find fault." Ye Kai said.

"Tell me what you think." The second old man was very interested in this.

To tell the truth, the people of the old Ye family are actually not very scheming, the era of the old man Ye and the second old man is basically a relatively accidental opportunity to take the position, there may be some struggles, most of them are on the bright side, it is not as complicated as it is now, everything can involve the interests of countless people, and the intrigue is very strong.

This time Ye Ziping went to Mingzhu City, and before he got off the plane, the dark war in all aspects had already begun, and it must be said that everyone's IQ had made great progress.

It's just that there are too many strategies, and people will inevitably fall into femininity, and it is more appropriate for people like Tan Shengguo to engage in intelligence work or staff work, but it is a bit inappropriate to be a decision-maker, so Ye Kai will resolutely oppose it.

"The current Gulf War has exposed many misunderstandings in the theoretical building of the armed forces, and it is better to take this as an opportunity to criticize the work of the military congresses, which can be more severe, and it is also for the sake of national security, the modernization of the armed forces must be carried out well, and the theoretical guidance must be even more advanced, and those who are vegetarian must bear part of the responsibility." Ye Kai said to the second old man.

When the second old man heard this, he immediately felt that Ye Kai's idea was very good, practical, and tenable.

As the highest institution of learning in the military, the military university has always been a place for training high-ranking officers for the army, and if there is a problem with the guiding ideology of the military university and there is a serious lag in modernization, then the negative impact on the entire army will be very great.

After the Gulf War was fought this time, some of the problems that were exposed are enough to show that the military university has done very inadequate in all aspects, and it is not an exaggeration to evaluate it by the corpse vegetarian meal.

As soon as the second old man pondered it, he felt that Ye Kai's suggestion was very good, and what was even more rare was that he could take advantage of this to take a bad breath.

Criticizing the ineffective handling of the organs under the armed forces is within the scope of his duties as deputy head of the Central Military Commission.

Sure enough, two days later, at a meeting of senior generals within the Central Military Commission, in the presence of hundreds of generals, the second old man talked a lot about the importance of the army's modernization and put forward several elements of modern national defense.

As the person in charge of the military university, Lieutenant General Tan Shengguo had no choice but to make self-criticism in public, admitting that there were misunderstandings and omissions in the thinking of the military university's construction, and that the leadership of the military university bore the main responsibility.

For a while, the military generals were shocked, and said in their hearts that the second old man had finally become a tiger!
