Chapter 11: Young People's Choices (11)
"Zhengkang is really a talent this week! Dragged all the large farms in the Northeast into the water! Wu Liao gritted his teeth and said. More than a dozen large military farms in the entire northeast region have problems, and after in-depth investigation, there is an industrial chain in the military farms that take advantage of the local policy of unified purchasing and marketing in the northeast to privately sell farm products.
This industrial chain itself is not evil, and its original purpose was to give welfare and bonuses to comrades on the farm during the New Year's holidays. The salaries of the army are not high, and all farm products belong to the army. The sale of some products on a small scale in exchange for a bonus for welfare was completely natural in the eyes of the comrades on the farm.
If that's really the case, that's all there is to it. But there are dragons and crouching tigers in the army, and there are many talents. This kind of thing has changed from a bonus every year to a bonus during the holidays. In the end, it became that there must be an allowance and a bonus every month. Zhou Zhengkang went all over the place to persuade and collude with the heads of various farms. The industry was organized from the spontaneous behavior of individual farms to the conscious behavior of all farms.
They used the money they earned to bribe and turned some of the responsible personnel within the military region into the umbrella of the system. If it weren't for the fact that Nguyen Hee Ho would come to inspect the work and the state would implement a policy of abolishing army farms, the system would have continued to grow.
The director of Zhou Zhengkang's farm panicked when he heard the news that Ruan Xihao was coming to inspect. Coupled with the revelation of good things, he had a plan to wash his hands and not dry them. This system is already an offensive and defensive alliance, how can it be possible to accept people to withdraw. Zhou Zhengkang is not on the right path after all, and his threat is not so powerful. The field manager, who was annoyed by Zhou Zhengkang, wanted to report Zhou Zhengkang directly, but was finally killed by Zhou Zhengkang and others.
Ruan Xihao looked at the angry Wu Liao, and he smiled: "Old Wu, you don't have to say it so ruthlessly. I know what you think, but if you don't kill people this time, it's just a big deal. ”
Wu Liao actually agreed with Ruan Xihao's statement. There are some simple economic problems, and these things can be passed if they are strictly managed. These people are by no means incompetent, and the little things they do privately are nothing compared to the huge financial gains brought by the army farms. The reason why Zhou Zhengkang chose to kill was not that he was cruel and murderous, but that he thought that his credit should not be erased by this "trivial matter".
Ruan Xihao looked at Wu Liao's angry expression, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly. It was useless to just sigh, Ruan Xihao said: "Old Wu, I was originally not in favor of abolishing the army farm, but now I am in favor." ”
"Why?" Wu Liao was very puzzled by this statement, "Political Commissar Ruan, our military region will definitely strengthen management and will never let such a thing happen again." ”
"Lao Wu, this is not a management problem, this is an institutional problem. Before I came to the Northeast, I thought so, that we had run a military farm back then, and it can be said that we did a very good job. The food supply of the troops was solved, and the work of the families of the troops was arranged. Including all kinds of education and training on our army farm, so that the children of the army have received a very good education. You said that the contribution of the army farm is not big, but I think the contribution of the army farm is very large. Nguyen Hee Ho was very serious about the contribution of the army farm.
Wu Liao's face softened slightly, but the relief was very limited. Because Ruan Xihao said that the purpose of these things was not to keep the army farm alive, but to try to persuade Wu Liao to willingly accept the fate of the army farm extermination. Wu Liao didn't want to see the army farm disappear, so he said in a deep voice: "Political Commissar Ruan, there is indeed a mess on the army farm, but in the final analysis, the army farm is the industry of our army......
Hearing only this, Ruan Xihao already knew that the scope of what could be discussed now became quite small. When the army sees the farm as its own industry, it means that the army itself has become an interest group. This is not a competition for promotion, this is not a job arrangement, and it is not an annual battle for military spending. When the army demanded that it have financial power, not to mention that Wei Ze would not agree, and the Military Commission would not agree. Wu Liao has already "crossed the line".
Ruan Xihao has not dared to relax in the slightest, and this matter can definitely not be solved in a few words. He also tried to persuade him: "Old Wu! We first started the army farm because we didn't have food to eat. We've all come from a time when we didn't have a meal, and I understand how worried you feel. However, times have changed. Lao Wu, as long as there is no earth-shattering event, we will not encounter that kind of underfed years again. The basis of the existence of the army farm has changed, and the army farm must also change. ”
Wu Liao's attitude is firm enough, no matter how Ruan Xihao persuades, Wu Liao always says, "The army farm can't be lost in my hands!" ”
The Shenyang Military Region is now a military region with great influence in the Republic of China, and it has to deal with Russia, suppress Japan, stabilize Goryeo, and assume the responsibility of supporting North America if an unexpected situation occurs. After Nguyen Hi Ho's report was sent to the Military Commission, the reaction of the comrades of the Military Commission was "very unhappy"!
"This Wu Liao! Every time he causes trouble, he has him! Hu Chenghe said angrily. Wu Liao's military history is very glorious, he is the hero of the Liberation Army in the Battle of Foshan, and when it comes to fighting, Wu Liao is by no means ambiguous.
However, Wu Liao's political history is "remarkable". When he was the commander of the garrison military region, Wu Liao intervened in the central government's resolution as the commander of the military region, and was later dismissed as the commander of the garrison military region and transferred to other military regions as commander. When he was in the Hunan Military Region, Wu Liao caused another incident. However, the mastermind of that incident was not Wu Liao, so the Military Commission did not treat him badly. This time, Wu Liao had to bravely assume the responsibility again, and did not agree to make changes to the army farm.
Lei Hu didn't know what to say, he could only sigh helplessly, "Wu Liao hasn't changed for decades." Always so dare to say and do! ”
Wei Ze smiled, he was amused by the words of the comrades of the Military Commission. Weser asked the secretary to go and get a stack of papers, "Turn the second page and the third paragraph, and everyone will read it for themselves." ”
This passage is the ...... that the ultimate cause of all social and political changes should not be proclaimed in the minds of men, nor should they be sought in the growing knowledge of eternal truth and justice, but in the changes in the modes of production and exchange; It should not be found in the philosophy of the relevant era, but in the economics of the relevant era. The irrationality and unfairness of the existing system, the growing awareness that 'rationality has become nonsense, and happiness has become misery', is only a symbol of the quiet change that has taken place in the methods of production and the forms of exchange.
Some members of the CMC probably understood, while others did not. Weeser didn't want to play dumb riddles either, explaining: "Some people don't want to hand over army farms, not because army farms are a tradition. When you first joined the army, I asked the troops to form an army farm, and I personally took everyone to farm the land. At that time, there were many opponents. A large part of the reason for opposition is that we are here to be soldiers, not peasants! ”
Most of the members of the Military Commission have experienced this history, and at that time, it was drudgery to be sent to work on army farms. When Weezel ordered the army to participate in agricultural production during the busy season, he really complained. However, it was precisely because of the efforts made at that time that the Liberation Army was able to survive the difficult period of food shortage. The process of working with the people accelerated the people's sense of identity with the Liberation Army.
"Comrades, so many years have passed. The methods of production and forms of exchange have quietly changed, and army farms are technologically advanced, state-of-the-art management, and have a very organized labor force. The method of production is already completely different. The local exchange mode in Northeast China has also changed from grain collection to unified purchase and sales after the exemption of agricultural tax. I can tell you that it is impossible for those who eat this way to give up on their own initiative. Weeser gave a rather grim assessment at the end.
Listening to Wei Ze's words so cold and clear, Lei Hu was a little uneasy. He said: "I don't think Comrade Wu Liao intended to confront the Central Committee. ”
Now that Wei Ze has said it to this point, Wu Liao's future can already be determined. The purpose of this disarmament campaign is not to reduce the number of soldiers, but to reduce the number of officers. To put it more bluntly, it is to eliminate a large number of middle-aged and elderly officers. Lei Hu, Shen Xin, Hu Cheng, and these cadres at the level of the Central Military Commission have not been eliminated in vain, and the cadres at the level of commanders and political commissars of various military regions are in danger. The biggest problem is the so-called "backbones", that is, those who have long been entrenched in the position of division commander and deputy army commander. These people have occupied these positions for too long, and even if they didn't deliberately think about what they were going to do, it was impossible to do nothing in terms of actual impact. With a political commissar like Wu Liao, it seems that the Shenyang Military Region is unlucky.
The other comrades of the Central Military Commission did not mean to give Wu Liao a stone, and everyone also seriously said a few good words for Wu Liao. The relationship in the army is intertwined, and everyone in the Shenyang Military Region knows and is close to them. In such a large military region, if the core of the Central Military Commission does not have any of its own cronies and eyes and ears in it, it can only mean that these core of the Central Military Commission have done it in vain.
"Don't worry, I won't get no good people in Hongdong County." Wei Ze, of course, could understand the attitude of the comrades, and he also expressed his position first.
"Does the Governor have a specific idea for implementation?" Shen Xin asked.
Half a month later, the North American Command, thousands of miles away, issued an order to all troops, "The personnel ownership of all unit personnel on the army farm shall be frozen." ”
"What does that mean?" Taking advantage of the weekend party, Captain Li Shaokang asked Hu Xing to Captain. These former ensigns are now on the same starting line, and their relationship is competitive and cooperative. At least when it comes to Americans, cooperation is far greater than competition.
Captain Hu Xing replied: "That is to say, those who are transferred to work on the army farm should not expect to return to the army until this order is cancelled." ”
"What if we start a war?" Captain Qi Rui hurriedly asked.
"Juntun is different from the army farm, we also participate in farming, which is Juntun. That is to say, there are few people who farm, and we need to help. In fact, there are not many real personnel on the army farm, and their personnel are originally people who do not participate in army operations. Even when they are fighting, they are responsible for defending the farm. "Hu Xingzhi's mastery of the system may be greater than his mastery of warfare. After saying this, everyone suddenly realized.
"It's probably going to be a war, isn't it?" Several young servicemen shared the same opinion.
