Chapter 792: Lin Yu's Suggestion (2)

At present, the Hong Kong Garrison is ready to go, waiting for the early morning of 1 July to enter Hong Kong Island in a majestic and high-spirited manner, shouldering the sacred mission of defending Hong Kong Island. For more exciting novels, please go to. Song Jinping just took the time to visit the old chief, and by the way, he accepted the old chief's teaching.

As far as Song Jinping knows, although it was not a long time from the time the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission began to consider the candidates for senior cadres of the garrison to the final determination that they had won, the game was very intense. No one would want to give up this opportunity to last forever. What's more, everyone knows that if you really want to be able to take up this position that is attracting the attention of the world, the future will be immeasurable.

For this position, the Lin family is bound to win, but the strength of the Lin department in the army is already very amazing, and he is a leading figure in the army; at this time, the appointment of the Lin cadre as the first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison is obviously not something that other factions are happy to see.

Of course, everyone knows the reason, but they don't say it in a grand way. However, the reason for not supporting Song Jinping as commander of the Hong Kong Garrison is also high-sounding. Song Jinping's conditions and qualifications seem to be really good, but in comparison, he is a little older. Although a major general in his 50s is nothing in China, if he really wants to be pushed to the position of commander stationed in Hong Kong, which is the world's attention, will it make the international community think that China's generals are generally too old? Not meeting the requirements of rejuvenation?

In a new era in which cadres are younger and more scientific, we cannot but say that this reason is still very strong and powerful. After all, there are not no major generals in their forties in China, and they don't always say that they want to give way to these young people, so that they can gradually grow up and take on heavy responsibilities, but why is it that there is no actual action when it comes to the end?

Therefore, Mr. Lin, who strongly supported Song Jinping, was still under a lot of pressure.

At a critical moment, though. Lin Yu played a big role. At that time, Lin Yu was on Hong Kong Island when he chose to be the commander in Hong Kong. Therefore, Lin Yu made a situation for the Lin family on Hong Kong Island, and told Song Jinping about it in advance, although this is a bit of a persecution in China. But when Lin Yu threw out another weight, the country couldn't care about it. In addition, at this time, the old chief spoke, and Song Jinping became the commander in Hong Kong.

It stands to reason. In this way, the candidate for the commander of a major general cannot be entered into the eyes of the chief, but the significance of the commander of the Hong Kong garrison is extraordinary, and naturally it is a different matter. Moreover, Old Man Lin has a very high prestige in the army, and the conditions of Song Jinping himself are also very good. The most important thing is that the chief can trust Old Man Lin.

In this way, Song Jinping was finally able to smoothly become the first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison.

No matter how reluctant the other factions were to see this end, but now that the matter has come to this, they have to hold their noses and swallow this bitter fruit. Who called the strength of the Lin Department in the army. It's really too strong, and the chief is so supportive?

"Please rest assured, old chief." Song Jinping heard Old Man Lin's words and habitually stood up. Stand tall like a soldier receiving an order. He replied very solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the trust and trust of the motherland and the old chief!" The voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing around the quaint and quiet courtyard.

Old man Lin is majestic. The anger is very heavy, and the management of the army is even more severe, all the soldiers who have stayed under him do not dare to have the slightest slack in the face of his old man, even if the old man has now retreated to the second line, but the feeling that has long been engraved in the bottom of his heart will not be weakened at all.

"Sit down, let's just talk casually, don't be so nervous." Old Man Lin smiled and waved his hand, but nodded with satisfaction in his heart. The soldiers brought out by themselves, no matter what position they took, were still so mighty, and they dared to fight, and there was no one who was a bad seed.

Song Jinping sat down, but it was true that his waist was straight, and he was sitting with a serious expression.

Old Man Lin looked at Song Jinping with a gentle expression, but Song Jinping felt a huge pressure rushing towards him. Although the old man is sharp and introverted, he is still domineering by nature, and he is still omnipresent, as strong as Song Jinping, a general who has been on the battlefield, and he is also worried in his heart.

Old Man Lin then asked, "Are the troops ready?" ”

"I've been ready for a long time, ready to drive through Luohukou and take over the defense of Hong Kong Island!" Song Jinping replied loudly: "Deputy Commander Zhou Guotao has led the first batch of advance personnel to enter the customs through Lok Ma Chau and enter the Hong Kong Island area ahead of schedule, making the necessary preparations for us to officially enter Hong Kong Island at 0:00 on July 1 to assume defense responsibilities. ”

Old Man Lin nodded slowly, of course he knew these things, and many of them were even his old man's thoughts and ideas.

At the beginning, on the question of whether or not to garrison troops on Hong Kong Island, not to mention Britain's strong opposition, even within the party there were different voices. Even when a certain party member was interviewed by the Hong Kong Island media, he inadvertently replied that Hong Kong Island could not garrison troops, but the next day, the front pages of the major newspapers on Hong Kong Island reported that it was the opinion of the Huaxia Government that a certain leader in China said that there was no need to garrison troops on Hong Kong Island.

This incident caused the chief and Mr. Lin to be extremely angry, and the chief even slapped the table for this, how could Hong Kong Island not garrison troops? Garrisoning is the embodiment of sovereignty. Why can't Huaxia garrison troops on Hong Kong Island? Britain can garrison troops, but we have restored our sovereignty but cannot garrison troops on our own territory, is there any reason in the world? The garrison is at least a symbol of sovereignty, and if it doesn't even have this power, what is it called resuming the exercise of sovereignty? Must be garrisoned!

Old Man Lin also strongly proposed that we should not only garrison troops, but also send a team of elite soldiers. It is also necessary to send advance personnel into Hong Kong Island in advance to carry out various preparatory work, such as familiarizing themselves with the facilities of the 14 military sites used by the British troops originally stationed in Hong Kong, understanding the operational mechanism of social security and establishing support channels, and making specific coordination with the government departments on Hong Kong Island in order to maintain the military communications environment. This work is not only an important preparation for the smooth stationing of the main body of the troops stationed on Hong Kong Island, but also an important step in the handover of Hong Kong Island's defense.

It was precisely because of the insistence of the chief and Mr. Lin that the British side had to make concessions in the end. The Hong Kong Island Garrison dispatched 196 advance personnel to Hong Kong Island in three batches ahead of schedule. When the heroic People's Liberation Army (PLA) appeared on the streets of Hong Kong Island, the citizens of Hong Kong Island stopped to watch, and the commander of the British forces stationed in Hong Kong, Major General Tang Siu-yan, led the chief of staff, Commodore McLeyson, and other representatives of the three officers and men also greeted them in front of the Prince of Wales Building.

The old man took a sip of water from the teacup without hurry, then smiled and asked, "How does it feel to team up with Xiong Xianghao?" ”

Xiong Xianghao was the first political commissar of the Chinese People's Liberation Army garrison on Hong Kong Island, with the rank of major general. He is a cadre who is strongly supported by another faction in the army. At the beginning, he was also the most powerful candidate for the first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, but in the end, due to the appearance of Song Jinping, he had to retreat to the post of political commissar instead.

Song Jinping was taken aback and looked embarrassed.

That's not a good question to answer. Two people are partners, it is impossible to say that there are no differences, not to mention that the two people are completely in different camps. However, if it is not good, there is no doubt that the child who has been wronged and complained to his parents, and the child who is telling right and wrong may make Mr. Lin feel that he is too small to tolerate others.

Unconsciously, Song Jinping glanced up at Old Man Lin. The old man's face was unwavering, and he didn't seem to have any expression. Song Jinping immediately retracted his gaze, carefully considered his words, and said cautiously: "Lao Xiong is a rigorous, principled person, and can lead by example, and he is also more capable......"

Song Jinping's words are very pertinent, and he didn't mix too many personal opinions, but he didn't say too many nutritious and contentful words.

A look of appreciation flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

Don't look at Song Jinping's trembling appearance in front of Old Man Lin as if he were walking on thin ice, in fact, whether it is from the chess game just now or the current response, he seems to be very thoughtful, no wonder Old Man Lin has high hopes for him, and does not hesitate to support him as the first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison.

"Jinping, you don't stick to small sections, don't lose your big tools, dare to think and dare to do, have courage and knowledge, and have a lot of courage, but you are not delicate enough to do things, and it is easy to ignore some subtleties. Xiong Xianghao is rigorous and good at checking and filling in the gaps. The two of you work together and complement each other perfectly. ”

Old Man Lin also showed a faint smile on his face again, pondered for a while, and said quietly: "Jinping, you must remember that you have a long-term vision and an open mind, and your future is still very ambitious. ”

Song Jinping was overjoyed when he heard this, and Old Man Lin's words undoubtedly gave him a reassurance. He hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, old chief." This time I went to Hong Kong Island, I have a long way to go, and I will need more guidance from the old chief in the future. ”

What Song Jinping was most worried about was that his first commander of the Hong Kong Garrison was just a transition. After all, Old Man Lin has taken a back seat, and although his influence in the army will not have much impact in the short term, can he still pay attention to himself in the future? Without the support and care of the old man, how many people would not covet their current sensitive position? In the end, will you be promoted to a half-level in order to move a seat for others, and then hang up somewhere to do a deputy position?

Song Jinping's worries are not unfounded. As a matter of fact, even if you cannot hold a full-time post in a unit at or above the division level, the first choice is such a sensitive post as chief of staff. Generally speaking, the chief of staff is the first candidate for the military chief of the same rank. The deputy military chief officer at the same level looks beautiful, but if he does not have much background and meritorious service, it basically means that he will die old in this position, which is similar to the retirement of the local government by half a level.
