Chapter 8: Young People's Choices (8)
"It's the Yellow River ahead!" The staff officer in the sleeper car happily informed everyone.
Regardless of whether they had seen the Yellow River before or not, the soldiers either waited by the window inside the carriage or stood at the window of the carriage on the other side of the corridor. It has been repeatedly said in geography class that this is the mother river of China and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Those who have never seen the Yellow River should open their eyes and have a long insight. Those who have seen the Yellow River have to see it again, and it is not easy to see the Yellow River once on the edge of the Yangtze River in Nanjing.
Villages can be seen on both sides of the railway from Nanjing to Beijing, and according to Chinese propaganda customs, there are many slogans on the walls of the houses in the villages. Slogans such as "planting trees to maintain water and soil", "if you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and grow more trees", and "adapt measures to local conditions and protect the environment" can be seen everywhere along the way. Similar to the Yangtze River, close to the Yellow River, the first thing that catches the eyes of passengers is the riverside green belt.
On the Yangtze River, there is a requirement for at least one kilometre of green belt, because the Yangtze River basin is densely populated, and there are many conflicts between the government and residents in order to achieve this goal. This is not the case on the Yellow River, where a few kilometers of green belt have been created along the river. It was really lush, and it even looked like a forest. As the train passed by, it was obvious that the air blowing in from the window was a little cooler.
The embankment is made of reddish-brown stones, and the large green forests on both sides of the Yellow River make the muddy yellow river flowing in the river very eye-catching. The Yangtze River has also been a lot of turbidity over the years, but when compared with the Yellow River, it seems that the turbidity is nothing at all. The thick muddy Yellow River water has no transparency at all, and it seems that the water flowing under the railway bridge is not river water, but a thick muddy soup.
Looking at this famous river, a staff officer groaned: "Ah! Yellow River ......"
The others held their breath and waited for the seemingly poetic staff officer to come along. Then the staff officer was heard to continue. "Why are you so yellow!"
Poof! Ha ha! Hehe! Roar!
All sorts of laughter came out almost all at once. There was disappointment, ridicule, and simply amusement. However, the real width of the Yellow River is not as wide as that of the Yangtze River, and the real main bridge passes in a few minutes. Looking behind the carriage, in the green woods, you can only see a little bit of the Yellow River through the treetops. After a while, I couldn't even see this at all, and all I could see was green trees.
After reading the rarity, everyone sat back in their seats and couldn't help but chat, "There is already a bridge on the Yellow River, when will the bridge be built on the Yangtze River?" ”
From a military point of view, the bridges across these great rivers are of great strategic value. In the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, three or four hundred thousand Russian troops on the Danube stood still for nearly two years because Pleven threatened the bridges over the Danube. This era is no longer an era in which you can fight after crossing the river in a small boat with a cold weapon, and whether or not there is a bridge suitable for large-scale traffic on a river can change many, many things.
"Then we have to build a 30,000-ton sea ship first, the governor has high requirements for this railway bridge. Wuhan has already begun to prepare for the construction, saying that it will be able to pass 15,000 tons of sea vessels and 20,000 tons of inland container ships. ”
"It's not the height of the light, it's the width that also takes into account. A ship is more than ten meters wide, and there can be only more than ten meters between the piers. How could it be so good. This span is large, and it is much more difficult to build. ”
These young soldiers are well trained, and even if they don't know how to implement those techniques, they at least know what to consider. Even then, what they are talking about is already at the level of air-to-air. However, it is precisely this air-to-air content that has ample room for discussion.
Nguyen Hee Ho didn't join in the discussion, he put two quilts behind his back, half-lying there thinking about many recent events. The first to bear the brunt of the fate of the army farms, after the large-scale dismantling of military subdivisions, the army farms that once spread throughout the country began to disappear on a large scale. Now in the ascendant are the army farms of North America, and if war with the United States is inevitable, North America will sooner or later gather close to 2 million troops. Even if weapons and ammunition are supplied by industrial zones in Asia, food must be supplied locally in North America.
According to the latest information, the Russians have developed rapidly in industry in recent years. Coal in the Donbass, oil in Baku, and metallurgy in the south have all made great progress, and Baku's oil is still explored and developed by China and the Swedish Nobel family. The profitability is very good. This did not make it possible for Russia to challenge China, at least so far intelligence suggests that Russia's primary target was the Ottoman Empire. By extension, it also includes the British Empire, which was behind the Ottoman Empire. Russia has offered several times that it wants to buy China's shipbuilding technology, and if Russia can build new warships, it will not be possible for them to reach China's maritime frontier until they break through the encirclement of the British. It is said that China has sold composite steel and wrought iron armor technology to Russia, and Russia has the ability to manufacture thick-skinned armored ships.
Peace with Russia was maintained, and there was no need for the army farms in the northeast to continue to exist. Logically speaking, the conversion of military to civilian is not a bad thing. At least the army can get rid of a lot of productive tasks and move in a more professional and offensive direction. Ruan Xihao was thinking about how to arrange the troops after arriving in the northeast, since there was no need to refuse no matter how he looked at this matter, Ruan Xihao decided to simply take charge of this matter in the northeast. Instead of being forced to go, it is better to take the initiative to move forward.
Wei Ze has already openly said that the current high-level leaders are no longer simply able to continue to mix with a certain amount of executive ability, but that the high-level leaders must take on the heavy task of building the army. The implementation of the creation of the army is a part of army building, and the stripping of the army's existing responsibilities is also a part of army building. What other people think, Ruan Xihao can't help it. But Mr. Nguyen did not want to be kicked out of the top for blocking the army.
If you want to go from Nanjing to Shenyang, you need to reverse the train in Beijing, and Ruan Xihao was very grandly entertained in Beijing. Those former subordinates who had no impression and no impression gave Ruan Xihao a grand reception in Beijing.
A group of people rushed up to toast first, Ruan Xihao's alcohol consumption was so-so, he himself felt that it was at least much stronger than Wei Ze's drinking. But being poured by this pass, Ruan Xihao also felt that he couldn't stand it. He is a few years younger than Weeser and is also 45 this year. After this drinking, Ruan Xihao also began to feel that his body could not withstand it.
Just when his stomach was uncomfortable and his head was confused, several main cadres came up to praise Ruan Xihao first, Ruan Xihao only felt uncomfortable, for fear that he would say the wrong thing, so he couldn't help but keep silent. Ruan Xihao was silent, and the whole scene became a little embarrassing.
Feeling unwell, Ruan Xihao's mind is not confused at all. He could already see that these people were just in a hurry and made the banquet worse. In fact, the middle and lower-level officers are like this, first they are poured violently, and then they start to mess around after they drink vigorously. If you are an official, you have to make people feel that they are telling the truth, and they also have to try to understand whether the other party is telling the truth or not. Those who have weak self-control can easily say something they shouldn't say at this time.
Having been in the center for so long, how could Ruan Xihao not know the methods of these people. He just didn't expect that these people would dare to do this to Ruan Xihao. Ruan Xihao didn't want to let the whole situation go cold, he half-truthfully raised his wine glass, talked to these soldiers, and praised some of the things he knew about the Beijing Military Region. Driven by Ruan Xihao, the atmosphere was finally lively, and these cadres of the Beijing Military Region first smiled honestly, and then boasted to each other about the merits of their leadership. When the mood was a little higher, these people began to tell their own accounts of how well the Beijing Military Region had done a lot of construction work.
In the lively mood, the political commissar of the Beijing Military Region blushed from drinking, and he grabbed Ruan Xihao's arm, "Political commissar, you are from the central government." I would like to ask how much this disarmament has to do with our Beijing Military Region. ”
"Disarmament is an overall work, not a disarmament aimed at the Beijing Military Region." Nguyen Hee Ho replied.
"If this is the whole, then our Beijing Military Region also has troops to be dismantled." The political commissar of the military region asked.
"This is the arrangement of the personnel department, and I don't work in the personnel department." Ruan Xihao didn't want to leave anything that people could grasp, there have been more and more such things in recent years, and many people dare to use chicken feathers as arrows, and they dare to do something in it with some nonsense that leading cadres sometimes talk about. Ruan Xihao has encountered it, and he has suffered a big loss. He still remembers his anger at the time, and the guy who wanted to make a profit in the middle had learned a profound lesson. After the personnel department sorted out the that guy had done, and took it out at one time, Ruan Xihao took it out in advance and talked about it, and then put these things out, which can be said to have ruined the guy.
However, Shen Xin called Ruan Xihao to talk about it afterwards, and Shen Xin completely disagreed with Ruan Xihao doing this. He said solemnly: "That comrade has a problem, that's right. Because he is turning things back in the middle, and he is not wrong with his actions. But if you take everything out and talk about it all at once, I don't think it's appropriate. You're not just talking about things, you're taking revenge on him. ”
"I'm just taking revenge on him." Ruan Xihao replied bluntly, "Pit Laozi, blind his dog's eyes!" ”
Seeing Ruan Xihao's emotional and unconvinced appearance, Shen Xin did not directly talk about Ruan Xihao's attitude, but changed his angle, "Comrade Ruan Xihao, I don't think there is anything wrong with the result that comrade obtained, I must state this first." However, our working philosophy is one yard to one yard. If you're just talking about things, I don't have much to say. Don't say that you are sarcastic, you are just scolding, I just think it is the result of personal emotions. It's not appropriate for you to flip through a stack of information. ”
"What's inappropriate?" Ruan Xihao was furious.
Shen Xinjun is at the same level as Ruan Xihao, and in terms of political ranking, as the vice chairman in charge of military politics, his position is higher than that of Ruan Xihao. Seeing that Ruan Xihao was furious, Shen Xin was also unhappy. He replied in a very unhappy tone: "I can tell you clearly, Comrade Ruan Xihao. You are holding a stack of materials provided by the personnel department, and you are indicating that you can go to the personnel department to go through the materials and organize an attack together. That comrade is indeed not a good thing, but that doesn't mean that you can deal with the problem in this way. I can tell you unequivocally right now that you have made a serious disciplinary mistake! ”
Ruan Xihao felt that he had suffered a loss, and it was the time when he was full of upset. I was trained by Shen Xinyi again, where can I endure this. Ruan Xihao quarreled with Shen Xin at that time.
After this conflict became bigger, Wei Ze had to come forward to mediate the conflict. Wei Ze's attitude is the same as Shen Xin's, Ruan Xihao can't satisfy his revenge by making mistakes. No matter what, Ruan Xihao was still willing to bow his head to Wei Ze. The Central Military Commission held a two-day meeting and used Ruan Xihao as an example to determine the norms for how everyone should deal with this kind of problem. And Wei Ze didn't really want to do anything about Ruan Xihao, when Ruan Xihao finally made a public review, everyone let Ruan Xihao go.
Now seeing that the comrades of the Beijing Military Region are once again playing such little tricks, Ruan Xihao is angry and happy. After all, the comrades below are the comrades below, and the tricks seem so straightforward. Of course, Nguyen Hi Ho sincerely hoped that these comrades had come up with this only because they were worried that disarmament would be dismantled on their heads. If these comrades still want to make some more reputations, Ruan Xihao, who has suffered in such matters, will not let them go.
The upper echelons of the Central Military Commission are well aware that the biggest difficulty in this dismissal is the dismissal of officers. really caught a big handle, Ruan Xihao is very sure to clean up the entire Beijing Military Region. Moreover, when there was a war with Russia, it was still necessary for the Beijing Military Region to exist as a rear. Now that Russia is no longer able to launch a decent attack on the Shenyang Military Region, what can it do if the entire Beijing Military Region is uprooted? It's just a matter of words.
Ruan Xihao was full of displeasure and looked at the performance of the Beijing Military Region with a smile on his face. At this time, no one is pouring alcohol, and if he does it again, Ruan Xihao himself feels that he will have to drink it completely. The other comrades first recounted the merits of the Beijing Military Region and its outstanding performance in the past. Then a few comrades who were obviously in charge of cheering and laying the foundation for what they were going to talk about gradually fell silent.
At this time, he didn't talk much, just drank silently, and the commander of the Beijing Military Region, who only raised his glass when everyone was coaxing, finally spoke, "Old political commissar, I'll give you a drink!" ”
Ruan Xihao did not refuse, and drank all the wine in the cup. The commander of the military region also drank his wine, and then asked: "Old political commissar, according to the current situation, the Beijing Military Region is likely to be in the ranks of abolishment. We don't want the Central Military Commission to lay off the Beijing Military Region, but we don't say anything. The central government said that it would be counted. We would like to ask what the organization thinks about the dismantling of the Beijing Military Region. If the Beijing Military Region is not abolished, how many personnel will be abolished. Please make it clear that we can be prepared in our hearts. ”
This kind of frank problem did not make Ruan Xihao feel dissatisfied, but he suddenly remembered the issue of organizational discipline that Shen Xin was now emphasizing more and more. Of course, this kind of question can be asked, but it is not only inappropriate to ask this question at the wine table, but it is very inappropriate.
Ruan Xihao sighed, "This is a matter of work, and we will talk about it at work." You are asking me to speak now, do you want to listen to my drunken words, or do you not want to listen to my drunken words? ”
