A Dream of Jinling Chapter 385 Some Undercurrents (8)

Next chapter

Qi Rui finally met his father Wei Ze after leaving home for more than a year. Thinking back to more than a year ago, Qi Rui clearly knew that he was still a young lieutenant colonel, and now he is a young major general. For servicemen in peacetime, this is a simply unimaginable rate of promotion. But in the wartime, in terms of the number of promotions alone, there was still more than a year to be promoted to the fourth rank, from sergeant to major. The military is not stingy with rewards and promotions for those who have made great contributions from birth to death.

Of course, Qi Rui at this time was not very high among the soldiers in San Francisco. The forces on the west coast are a group army plus three corps. Lieutenant generals can't count on one hand, and major generals are even more numerous. Qi Rui is not yet a major general in the combat unit, but a major general in the military academy system. Of course, the comrades of the combat unit did not dare to discriminate against this former chief of staff of the army, but they would not forcibly pull Qi Rui into the combat unit. It's not about feelings, it's about the fact that the two sides are really not in the same department.

Therefore, at the meeting where Wei Ze met with the comrades of the troops, it took more than half an hour for Qi Rui, as the head of the military academy system, to shake hands with Governor Wei Ze cordially. The expressions of the major generals are not bad, most of them do not know something. The expressions of the lieutenant generals were a little complicated. Among these lieutenant generals, there are people who know the relationship between Qi Rui and Wei Ze.

Even the lieutenant general and major general, who didn't know what was going on inside, felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. And there is a surprising similarity between the appearance of Qi Rui and Wei Ze. Even the most dull general felt that Governor Wei Zedu and Major General Qi Rui probably did not meet at the same time, and the two were relatively familiar with each other.

The meeting with the troops was relatively simple, and Governor Wei Zedu listened to the reports of the troops, inspected the equipment, and watched the exercises. The exercise was led by the military academy, and Major General Qi Rui, as the head of the military academy, naturally shouldered the heavy burden. During the entire exercise, the generals of this group of front-line troops had to admit that although Major General Qi Rui was young, he had very rich experience in the front-line, and the entire exercise really reflected the characteristics of motorized infantry.

In the evening, when the headquarters was in a meeting, the generals took the lead in the conference room. Seeing that Governor Wei Ze didn't come, some people who couldn't hold their breath asked, "Director Qi, are you from Nanjing, have you seen Governor before?" ”

Those generals who knew the inside story were silent, and those who scolded and questioned in their hearts were simply blind. At this point, at least we have to wonder if Qi Rui may be the illegitimate son of Wei Zedudu, right? Of course, who would dare to ask such a stupid thing if someone could think like this? So most of the generals didn't say a word about it at all.

"Uh......" Qi Rui couldn't answer at all for a while. He instinctively wanted to find another excuse, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say. If Qi Rui was a major, he could still worry about this problem. Because someone may deliberately send Qi Rui to the dangerous front line out of malice, or deliberately not arrange a combat mission for Qi Rui. Now that Qi Rui has military exploits and status, not to mention that being Wei Ze's son is not a shame at all, even if Qi Rui's father is a scumbag, the impact on Qi Rui's promotion is very limited.

However, the power of habit is very powerful, even if Qi Rui knows that he can tell everyone about his relationship with Wei Ze, but Qi Rui can't open his mouth at all.

That Major General Xu is straightforward, not a person with a city government, and when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he can't help but want to ask clearly. Seeing that Qi Rui wanted to speak and stopped, he continued: "Director Qi, do you know the governor, are you embarrassed to tell you?" ”

"He's so embarrassed to say, I'm here to tell everyone why this is." The voice of Governor Wezedu rang out in the doorway.

As he spoke, Governor Wei Zedu strode in through the gate. In the relieved, stunned, and interested eyes of the crowd, he walked to the chairman's position.

"Comrade Qi Rui, stand up!" Weeser shouted.

Hearing his father's order, Qi Rui stood up honestly and silently. This action made most of the people who were not aware of it before understand what was going on. This kind of response is by no means a relationship between people who are not familiar with each other.

"Qi Rui is embarrassed to say it, because I sued him, don't tell others that he is my son. A young person must rely on his own ability to win everyone's recognition, and rely on his own ability to prove that he is capable of taking responsibility. That's why I kept asking him never to say it was my son. This is not good for Qi Rui. Wei Ze slowly explained the relationship between him and Qi Rui to the crowd.

After listening to Wei Ze's words, Major General Xu asked in silence: "Dudu, what about this ......surname?"

In the eyes of everyone looking at Major General Xu like fools, Wei Ze said indifferently: "Now Qi Rui's surname is his mother's surname. He was originally called Wei Rui. When I changed Qi Rui's name, I felt that his mother would be happier if she used his mother's surname. ”

Knowing the reason for Qi Rui's surname, a large part of the people who originally had no evil thoughts felt that Major General Xu was an idiot in some things. However, there are also a few people who have a wrong understanding in their hearts and find that they are wrong. Originally, these people thought that Qi Rui was the illegitimate son of Wei Zedudu, so they used other surnames, but now they realized that Qi Rui was the sister-in-law of Wei Zedudu, who was really rooted in red seedlings.

After introducing his relationship with Qi Rui, Wei Ze glanced at his son, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, blushing a little in the machine-gun-like gaze of the generals and colonels. Wei Ze also sighed slightly in his heart, everything is a double-edged sword, and the advantages and disadvantages of Qi Rui's identity disclosure can only be seen later. But right now, it will probably take a while for Qi Rui himself to get used to such days. And after Qi Rui's identity was revealed, the use of Qi Rui was also a problem. In the past, even if many people knew Qi Rui's identity, everyone could still turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, but now this kind of good life is over.

"Comrade Qi Rui, sit down!" Wei Ze ordered.

If it had been ten minutes ago, many people would have thought that this title was normal. Now, at least half of the room wants to cover their mouths and smile. Fathers and sons are so serious that it is easier to make people want to laugh than the funniest jokes.

Wei Ze didn't force everyone, and when the emotions of these people calmed down, he stood up and said: "Comrades, thirty years ago, I said in the Military Commission that the solution to the serious problems of our time is not by reasoning, but by iron and blood. The comrades here now have taken part in the great action of using the Chinese sword to secure arable land for the Chinese people. The reason why this action has been able to win the support of the people of the whole country is because we insist on the state ownership of land. All the land acquired by the Chinese sword belongs to the state, that is, it can be used by the people. Those who are doing it are probably all members of the Liberation Party, and our people are the leaders of the Party. Therefore, the military must escort the basic policies of these countries. The system of state ownership of land stipulated in the constitution will never allow anyone to destroy it! ”

Regardless of whether these soldiers have the ability to understand the system of land state ownership at a deep level, Wei Ze directly put forward his views. In fact, there is often a deep inertia in the system, and it may take decades or even a century for the people to understand the significance of land state ownership. Before the working people can understand this system, and before the working people can consciously defend this fundamental system, Weeser must brainwash it to make it more stable.

"Governor! You can rest assured that we have all read your article. It makes it clear that land can never be distributed in absolute fairness, so the state ownership of land can allow these things to be controlled. There's still room for change. If private ownership of land is opened, there will be endless troubles in the future. The land will soon be divided up by those in power. Major General Xu immediately responded loudly.

Maybe it was the cousin who followed the central government so closely that he stole the limelight from others, and some comrades couldn't help but mutter: "Lao Xu, we know that your family is from a landlord, so you don't have to be so loud." ”

Major General Xu was unmoved by such a statement, but continued: "What's wrong with my landlord's background? It is because my family was born as a landlord that I know better how miserable the private ownership of land is. Not only are the people miserable, but in fact, the landlords are not happy. Now that the land is nationalized, everyone doesn't have to worry so much, just concentrate on farming. Life is happier than before. Therefore, I resolutely support the state ownership of land and the governor. ”

After saying this, no one in the generals dared to continue to evaluate. If you don't express your stance at this time, it really can't be justified, so everyone shouted: "Resolutely obey the instructions of the governor and resolutely obey the system established by the central government." ”

Weser just wanted to knock these people up, hoping that they wouldn't make any more things about the army opening farms during the military administration. Growing their own vegetables and solving logistical problems can let the army know that it is also a people who rely on labor to obtain food, which is of great benefit to the military's ideological construction. But the army owns the industry, and then uses the industry to start making a profit, and that is a choice that distorts the nature of the army.

Regardless of whether the officer can understand it or not, Wei Ze must talk about these things first, but it was Major General Xu who made Wei Ze a little concerned. This comrade's expression is really very interesting, Wei Ze does not know whether this is an explosion of class consciousness, or a simple matter of pure heart. At least until now, this major general has helped Wei Ze and Qi Rui.

"In addition to this problem, another issue is that the party organization of the army should be strengthened. A soldier cannot be without knowing what he is fighting for and for whom. Only when you can convince the officers and men that these new lands will be enjoyed by the people of the whole country, and that the families of the officers and soldiers are also these people who enjoy the benefits, can you bravely face the North American environment. Therefore, the work of party affairs must be strengthened. Weeser continued to recount his arrangements.

Then Weeser saw that, with the exception of a few people, most of the generals did not seem to have any interest in the party committee. Weeser wanted to say something, but he didn't say much more at this meeting.
