Chapter 516: Defeat before you win
As soon as the three women left, the atmosphere in the living room immediately became serious.
Yun Hanmin came to visit Liu Cheng's family today, but it was not just as simple as etiquette between in-laws. He came for Liu Weihong. This "uncle" is really "unpredictable", which makes people completely confused.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, not long after the Pearl Party Newspaper published an article in support of reform and opening up, Liu Weihong personally came to the door and clearly told Yun Hanmin that he should seize the opportunity, express his position in a timely manner, and follow the chief closely, otherwise there will be no such store in this village. After repeated thinking and "verification" in many ways, Yun Hanmin determined that Old Man Liu's thinking had changed, and Jin Qiuyuan was indeed changing his way of thinking about governance, so he made up his mind to support the editorials and articles of the Pearl Party Newspaper in the People's Daily. Judging from the situation in the past two months, this move is the right move, and now the general trend of public opinion has basically begun to show signs of one-sidedness, and everyone's thinking seems to be gradually unified.
Through some relatively secret but very secure channels, Yun Hanmin learned that the supreme chief was quite satisfied with what he had done after he took charge of the "People's Daily", and even after listening to the secretary read a certain editorial published by the "People's Daily", the chief smoked a cigarette and praised the following: This is more right.
Score in front of the supreme leader, this is a certainty. Official, please go to the official's house to post it
On the side of the Golden Autumn Garden, there is naturally no special expression. But Yun Hanmin is not very worried about this. The reason is very simple, he will soon become Liu Weihong's father-in-law!
Old Man Liu's influence on Jin Qiuyuan is known to the world. If you really bet on "treasure" and bet on the wrong one, as long as the old man is willing to say a word, there will be no problem at all for Yun Hanmin to keep his current status. According to reliable sources, Mr. Liu's physical condition is very good, and he insists on walking and exercising his mouth every day, which is the biggest good news.
It's really a good match!
So Yun Hanmin has had a very comfortable life in the past few months.
The original idea of someone wanting to put him on the fire to roast was completely frustrated. The relationship between Yun Hanmin and He Taiping is also rapidly estranged. The He family is not righteous, there are only interests and no family affection in their eyes, Yun Hanmin has a personal experience, after the political storm of the previous year, the two most critical steps for Yun Hanmin to successfully pass the official career are related to the old Liu family. At a critical juncture, it was the Lao Liu family, not the Lao He family, who extended a powerful helping hand to him.
Unexpectedly, only two months later, the "little ancestor" who refused to stop beside him tossed a big thing again.
"Wei Hong, talk about your thoughts!"
Yun Hanmin took a sip of the teacup, said slowly, and glanced at Liu Chengjia.
Liu Chengjia nodded, and it was obvious that this sentence was exactly what he wanted to ask.
Liu Weihong didn't rush to answer, picked up the special cigarette on the coffee table, saluted the two Lao Tzu, picked one up himself, took two puffs, and said: "Uncle Yun, Dad, my thoughts are actually in that article, that is my real thoughts." ”
Yun Hanmin frowned lightly and said, "Weihong, the situation in the Soviet Union is not as serious as you said, right?" The control of the ruling party in the Soviet Union is still very good, and there are no major problems
Liu Weihong was stunned for a moment and said: "Uncle Yun, Yeltsin has been elected president of Russia, isn't this a big problem?" Within a country, there are two presidents, it's just funny. Gorbachev is a man who has more than enough empty talk, and his power and scheming are all insufficient. Even if Yeltsin's situation can be tolerated, what prestige does the ruling party of the Soviet Union have? That's not how reform works. The premise of reform is that there must be a stable social foundation. Otherwise, any reform may backfire and turn into unprecedented social upheaval or even a profound social catastrophe. I have never heard of a system that can be successful while relying on this system to keep the whole country running, and at the same time completely hollowing out the system from within. There has never been one in history, and I don't think it will ever be in the future. It's so contradictory! ”
Yun Hanmin couldn't help but be stunned and groaned slightly, but he had to admit that what Liu Weihong said made sense.
Gorbachev's top-down approach of performing major surgery on the ruling party of the Soviet Union is indeed undesirable. Unless he simply wants to bring down this party, the entire Soviet Union. Otherwise, it would be a contradiction for you to destroy the foundation of the tree and expect it to continue to flourish and bear fruit.
Liu Chengjia suddenly asked: "Then what do you mean, the Soviet Union is really dangerous?" ”
At this time, Liu Chengjia remembered the first long talk Liu Weihong had with him in the dormitory of the Capital Military Region two years ago, and the main theme of that conversation was the topic of military reform. But by Wei Hong it was clear that the Soviet Union would fall. However, at that time, Liu Weihong gave the reason that the Soviet Union would be dragged down by the United States in a long-term arms race.
Whatever the reason, Liu Weihong seems to have decided that the Soviet Union would surely fall.
Liu Weihong replied affirmatively: "Yes." In my opinion, if Gorbachev does not change his tactics, if he does not immediately stop his so-called reform measures, if he does not purge the party and the whole country of the opposition, and let it develop, the Soviet Union will surely collapse, and it will be very fast, and it will not be long in coming. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Weihong's expression became extremely serious. Although this is a proven fact in another parallel world, it has not yet happened in this world, and it is a very serious matter for an old power that has existed for seventy years to predict its downfall in its own words.
Liu Chengjia Yun Hanminton looked at each other.
This guy really dares to say it. Official, please go to the official's house to post it
"Weihong, young people are willing to use their brains, observe more, think more and analyze more, that's right, I don't object. But conclusions must be made cautiously and not lightly. It doesn't matter how you think and how you analyze, it's hard to change when you make a conclusion. ”
After a while, Yun Hanmin said in a heavy tone.
Liu Weihong said: "I know. Uncle Yun, Dad, we might as well analyze it. This is nothing more than two outcomes. Clause...... If the USSR does not fall, I am alarmist; Second, the fall of the USSR and the fulfillment of my predictions.
These two outcomes must be one or the other. What we need to do now is to make some pre-arrangements for these two different outcomes. ”
Yun Hanmin and Liu Chengjia glanced at each other again, and their expressions became more solemn.
Liu Weihong really surprised them more and more. It seemed that no matter how complicated the problem was, it would become simple in his mind immediately. But when you think about it, it's true.
One or the other.
Liu Weihong's article has been published in "The Horn Table, which is a fait accompli and cannot be changed. What needs to be done now is the follow-up preparations. Liu Weihong: That's right, how; Wrong, so what! There's no point in asking him why he did it.
This person is young, but his eyes are always looking forward, and he never hesitates.
"And you, how do you think you should prepare?"
Liu Chengjia asked slowly.
Liu Weihong said: "If I am wrong, and there will be no major changes in the Soviet Union in the short term, I will consider whether to change my work unit, stop staying at the grassroots level, and go back to work in the department in the capital for a while." ”
When Liu Weihong said this, his expression was very serious, and it was by no means perfunctory. In fact, he had considered this possibility before he published that article. After all, this is the world after rebirth, not the world before rebirth. Everything that happens in that world is not without the possibility of change in this world. What if it really changes? The Soviet Union "played its cards out of the rules", and Second Brother Liu changed from a ...... "magic stick" to a real "alarmist", what should I do?
Liu Weihong feels that the problem will not be too big. After all, his own position is not worth laughing at in the eyes of high-level bigwigs. The younger generation of the old Liu family is young this year, and he talked nonsense about the situation in neighboring countries, and he can only say that he has gone through a young age, has no experience, and needs to have a good experience. It will not have much impact on Old Man Liu and the old Liu family, it will only delay Liu Weihong's progress for a few years, and he may have to hide for a while. As for the overall situation in the country, there will be no more waves, and we will firmly advance toward the general line drawn up by the chief. This is exactly what Liu Weihong has been working for. The old man's thinking has changed, his health is healthy, and the old Liu family will not be "cleansed". With such a strong backing, Liu Weihong's comeback is inevitable, and after a few years of delay, he will slowly strive for it back.
Defeat before you win!
Prepared for the worst, Liu Weihong dared to fight against the water.
Liu Chengjia and Yun Hanmin are both slightly leading the way, and they think that Liu Weihong's plan is feasible. The main reason is that he is young and has already reached the deputy department level, so it doesn't matter if he goes back to work in the capital's big yamen for a few years, he has the right to boil up his qualifications.
"If my analysis is correct, it will be more difficult to deal with the major political changes in the Soviet Union in the near future."
Liu Weihong said, his eyebrows frowning slightly. Official, please go to the official's house to post it
"Why?"
Liu Chengjiayun Hanmin asked in unison.
Liu Weihong sighed softly and said: "If this is the case, then it proves that Gorbachev's reform in the Soviet Union is indeed wrong." Although the situation in the USSR and our country is completely different, there will always be someone to compare. I fear that this will lead to a resurgence of controversy in the country, and the situation will become very complicated. And the chief's unswerving determination to carry out reform and opening up is beyond doubt."
Liu Chengjia and Yun Hanmin's expressions became more and more serious.
If this is the case, I am afraid that all the wealthy families in Beijing will once again fall into the whirlpool, and no one will be able to get out of the way, and the basic agreement that was finally reached will be pushed down again.
The outcome is unknown!
So I'm writing this article just to give you a head start. I hope that when this happens, everyone will be a little mentally prepared and treat it calmly and rationally. Perhaps, it won't be too intense."
