On the eve of the Spring Festival, Lieutenant General Liang Jingwei, chief of staff of the Southeast Military Region, came to Yulan City to inspect the troops stationed in a certain army unit and the Yulan garrison area in Province A.

When Liang Jingwei inspected a certain regiment in the Yulan Garrison District, Comrade Liu Jun, secretary of the provincial party committee, director of the provincial political standing committee, and first secretary of the provincial military district party committee, also participated in the inspection; Major General Wang Zhong, commander of the provincial military district, Major General Tian Guangjun, political commissar and secretary of the party committee of the provincial military district, and other leaders of the provincial military district, as well as leading cadres of the Yulan city party committee and the Yulan garrison area, accompanied the inspection.

The Yulan Garrison has a certain number of field troops, including a fully formed air defense regiment.

During the inspection of the troops, Lieutenant General Liang Jingwei made an impromptu speech, and then Commander Wang Zhong asked Secretary Liu to give instructions as well. Liu Jun smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Today I am just accompanying the inspection, mainly to see the soldiers, and I will not do the instructions." If there are any difficulties in the troops that need to be resolved, they can raise them. ”

When talking to the soldiers, the soldiers were surprised by the beautiful environment of Yulan City, especially some newly recruited soldiers, who said that they had never seen such a clean and tidy big city with such fresh air. The whole city is like a big garden, it's so beautiful.

Only one soldier brought it up, saying that there were too few buses passing through the gate of their camp, and that it was not very convenient for them to go to the city on their days off. Liu Jun immediately instructed the accompanying Yulan City cadres to ask them to deal with the problem immediately and properly.

The Spring Festival is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is necessary to make it as convenient as possible for the soldiers to travel to and from the city and the camp.

In the evening, the leaders of the Provincial Military Region held a banquet at the "Yindun Hotel" under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Military Region to entertain Secretary Liu and Chief of Staff Liang and his party.

Originally, Commander Wang Zhong meant to hold a banquet in the most luxurious Qiushui Hotel, after all, Liang Jingwei and Liu Jun were both big shots. However, Liang Jingwei rejected it with a smile, and finally settled in the Yindun Hotel of the Provincial Military Region.

The banquet of the army is not the same as in the past, it is not a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, but the true inheritance of Confucius - never get tired of eating, never get tired of being fine! No worse than a local feast. At this level, no one dares to "pour" the wine of the provincial party secretary.

Although Liang Jingwei is the youngest lieutenant general in the active army, he is the same as his father-in-law, He Changzheng, who is silent and majestic, and his subordinates are cautious in their words and deeds in front of him, and they dare not exceed the norm.

The atmosphere at the banquet was warm and solemn.

After the banquet, Commander Wang Zhong and Political Commissar Tian Guangjun personally accompanied Liang Jingwei to the suite where he stayed, and together with Liu Jun, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and Commander Wang Zhong and Political Commissar Tian Guangjun took their leave. I think Chief of Staff Liang still has some things to communicate with Secretary Liu alone.

They're authentic fellows.

Although Liu Jun's official resume is written as a native of Nanfang City, his ancestral home is clearly from Xiangyang County, N Province, and Chief of Staff Liang is from the same county, so they should have a lot in common.

In the huge living room, only Liang Jingwei and Liu Jun were left, and the chandelier on the ceiling emitted a soft luster. The luxurious suites of Yindun Hotel are comparable to those of five-star hotels.

Liu Jun said with a smile: "There were a lot of people just now, didn't you drink?" Why don't you ask them to make a few side dishes, and I'll drink some more with you? ”

Liang Jingwei also smiled and said, "Just how much you drink?" Forget it! ”

Liu Jun laughed: "Shibei should be impressed for three days." Maybe I've grown? ”

Liang Jingwei shook his head with a smile: "The amount of alcohol is something to be practiced, and there is a certain talent." Your growth is estimated to be limited. If you don't want to drink it yourself, who dares to force you to drink it? ”

As he spoke, Liang Jingwei got up himself, made two cups of strong tea, and sat opposite the two brothers.

"Just talk, you don't have to drink. I'm not the chief of the sea. He really loves wine, and it's a little uncomfortable to skip a meal. ”

Liu Jun smiled, and sure enough, he didn't mention drinking anymore.

"Plan to spend a few days in Magnolia?"

"One day. Tomorrow I will go to Wuxi, take a turn, and several important troops will go to see it. ”

Liu Jun was surprised: "So fast? I'm thinking I'm going to invite you to my house tomorrow. ”

Liang Jingwei smiled: "Next time, there is a chance." ”

"Hmm. Mom and Dad are okay? Will they stay at home for the New Year this year, or will they go to Jinghua for the New Year? ”

Liang Jingwei replied: "Stay at home." The old man is getting older, and he is more and more reluctant to go out. Especially Dad, the old guy in Maple Village who is reluctant to do so. During the Chinese New Year, everyone plays cards together, watches the play, and is lively. Now Xiangyang has changed greatly, and small urbanization has been carried out more thoroughly. I went back last year, but I can't find the same way I used to be, and there are busy cities everywhere. ”

Liang Guocheng and his family are also over seventy years old, and the old man's homeland is difficult to leave, although his son and daughter are very prosperous, they are firmly nailed to Fengshu Village, and they are reluctant to move their nests. Fortunately, as Liang Jingwei said, Xiangyang District has changed greatly, and Fengshu Village, like Liujiashan, has developed into a modern small town. Because the two elders were unwilling to settle outside, Qiao'er threw a lot of money into it, and forcibly turned Maple Village into what it is today.

"yes, I've heard that, too. Qiao'er said that the village-run enterprises in Fengshu Village are very profitable, and have developed into a modern large company, and every household in the village has dividends, and life is very prosperous. ”

Yoo Jun nodded.

Xiangyang District has always been ranked in the top three of the top 100 counties in the country, and has never fallen out of the top three. In terms of the wealth of the people, it is unparalleled when looking at the whole country.

Liu Jun said with a little emotion: "Xiangyang County is on the right track. A small government and a big market hide wealth from the people. This should be the direction of our country's future development. ”

Liang Jingwei nodded slowly and said, "Actually, we also have a private discussion on how to develop the country. I agree with you. Although it is said that the superiority of our national system lies in the fact that it can concentrate its efforts on doing great things, there is also a saying that good steel is used on the blade. However, concentrating the wealth of the private sector excessively on large government-led projects is not necessarily the best approach. As you said, the future development direction is to maximize the enthusiasm of the people by hiding the wealth of the people with a small government and a big market. ”

Yoo Jun was slightly moved.

The so-called "we have a private discussion" naturally refers to a military general with the same status as Liang Jingwei. The generals are not completely ignorant of foreign affairs. With the development of the times to this day, how can the military and politics, the army and the country be completely separated?

Liu Jun said: "The key is the cadres. Only when more and more cadres are aware of this problem can they consciously develop in this direction. ”

Liang Jingwei nodded: "The line and policy have been determined, and the cadre issue is the key." The chairman's teaching is very applicable even today...... Hey, Liu Jun, what do you think about the problem of Mingxia Island? ”

Liu Jun's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Why do you suddenly want to discuss this matter?" Is there something the army is going to do? ”

Originally, the secretary of the provincial party committee and the chief of staff of the large military region were too sensitive to discuss this issue, and they generally had to avoid it. It's just a secret room, and with the relationship between the two, they don't have to care too much.

Liang Jingwei shook his head and said, "It's not. It was the last time Dandan and Gu Qixiu came to Jinghua to play, and occasionally asked me this question. Hanning was also there at the time. Hanning and Dandan are both a little angry. ”

The so-called Dandan naturally refers to Liang Shaolan's daughter Yu Dan, and Hanning is Liang Jingwei's son Liang Hanning, who should be eighteen years old this year, which is a good year for "angry youth". For what the little devil did on Mingxia Island, most young people basically can't get used to it. Yu Dan's temperament is relatively lively, and he dares to speak in front of the general's uncle.

Sure enough, Liang Jingwei continued: "Dandan is even more angry than Han Ning, and he angrily asked me why the army didn't take action to drive the little devil out of Mingxia Island. He also said that for the ambition of the wolves, it is necessary to resolutely resort to force and drive them out. Otherwise, what is the use of the state raising an army? ”

Liu Jun couldn't help but be very surprised, and said, "Dandan is not small, right?" I've been married for two or three years, how can I be more angry than Han Ning? This doesn't look like Sister Shaolan's temperament at all, it's too subversive. ”

Liang Jingwei smiled, and then said: "I was really asked by her at that time. What she said does have some truth. The general trend of the world and the delicate relationship between countries, she may not understand. But I guess most people don't understand this, right? It is precisely these majority of people who make up the cornerstone of our entire nation. If they are too disappointed, it may not necessarily be a good thing. ”

Liu Jun took a sip of the teacup, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, handed one to Liang Jingwei, lit one himself, took two puffs slowly, and said, "When I was in the capital, I also talked to Uncle He about this issue. Friendship and sovereignty are not contradictory. In fact, the fact that the official is not good does not mean that the people must also be unanimous. Many non-governmental organizations abroad have played a very positive role in similar issues. Often, when the government is not able to intervene, civil society organizations can do it for them. I think we can also learn from this approach. If we don't react for a long time, others will take it for granted. ”

Liang Jingwei said in surprise: "Why is your point of view so consistent with Dandan." That's what she meant, and she also said that she would set up a special foundation to be dedicated to 'Baoming matters'. Hehe, there was a time when I admired her persistence. ”

Liu Jun smiled: "It's a good thing. Anyway, the Gu family is rich, and Sister Shaolan can also support her a little. I think it works. Make a fuss, don't let the little devil worry too much, when the scene is right, there is a reason to meddle. ”

"That's what I'm talking about here......"

Liang Jingwei smiled and shook his head.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that Secretary Liu also had the potential to be an "angry youth", which I didn't expect before.
