After the meeting of the Corps Headquarters, the meeting of the Party Committee of the Corps Headquarters began. The number of people attending the meetings of the Corps' Party committees www.biquge.info is smaller than that of the headquarters meetings, and the default party position is related to the military position is only the commander, and the others must be elected by election. For example, the head of the logistics department has a great say in the headquarters meeting, but he himself is not a member of the party committee.

"I decided to tell the theater command that we don't have the need to meet divisions for the time being. We need to meet only after we have eliminated the local enemies in Texas. If the theater command gives the order, we can obey. Or if the Fourth Corps already has spare strength to help us deal with the enemy in Texas, we will also give priority to joining forces with the Fourth Corps. Corps Commander Zhou Xinhua came up and made a decision.

The members of the party committee were not surprised by this decision, and this was the general opinion of the Corps headquarters after discussion. Zhou Xinhua also has one more line than the general opinion: 'Or the Fourth Corps has the spare strength to help us solve the enemy in Texas'. Everyone is a high-ranking officer, and anyone can hear the taste of banter in it. The troops of the Fourth Corps have now turned from north to south into a long snake formation, and everyone is fighting, and everyone knows that the strength of the Fourth Corps has reached its limit. Being able to independently complete all the campaign objectives without asking for help from the Sixth Corps proves that the Fourth Corps is extremely brave and good at fighting. As for the Fourth Corps taking the initiative to come to the aid of the Sixth Corps, it is likely that the troops of the Fourth Corps must be iron-clad.

The other party committee members did not disagree, and then the eyes of the party committee members fell on Qi Rui's side. Qi Ruiden felt a lot of pressure, and he didn't disagree with Zhou Xinhua's decision, but what kind of response would he have after such an answer was sent to the theater command?

Dad! You've really put me on the fire and roasted me! Under the suffering of gains and losses, Qi Rui even complained about his father for a moment. But it was only for a moment, and in the next moment, Qi Rui forcibly found an idea for himself. He opened his mouth and said: "Comrades, the military work I used to work in is now being assigned to work in the political department. Therefore, I would like to ask you a question, how do you think the military administration and the party and government work should be divided? For example, in the present case, what do comrades think is included in the military part and what is included in the political part? ”

The expressions of the members of the party committee showed that they were surprised by the question thrown by Qi Rui, and the surprise on Zhou Xinhua's expression passed for a moment, but he did not answer immediately, but remained silent. Qi Rui did not let Zhou Xinhua express his position first, but started from other comrades.

The military commissars who were asked were either divided or said, "I'll think about it again." Qi Rui was the youngest among the crowd, so he felt that these people were probably taking care of his father Wei Ze behind him. However, Qi Rui quickly vetoed this idea again, if he was really afraid of Qi Rui's father Wei Ze, what these people had to do was probably to give everything to Qi Rui. Now the performance of these people is actually more like wanting Qi Rui to take responsibility, and they can save a lot of trouble themselves.

"Military issues are how the military system can achieve the goals of war, while political issues are how human beings can survive, develop, and continue. What do you think of this standard? Agree or disagree? Qi Rui continued to ask.

This time, everyone's expressions were much more solemn, and Qi Rui found that all the members of the party committee fell into silence. Qi Rui temporarily broke this silence, and he continued to ask: "In the past, the party committee meeting was equivalent to the issue that all issues had to be discussed, but I think that all kinds of problems are very complicated now, and it is not possible to completely solve them by holding one meeting or two meetings. Therefore, purely military issues are left to the relevant departments to solve. Our party committee will solve political problems. ”

"What if you think it's a military issue and a political issue?" In the silence, the political commissar of the Fifth Army asked.

Qi Rui immediately replied: "Then a meeting will be held to discuss, and the party committee will make a decision." Aren't we talking about how to define it now? ”

"What exactly is the difference between military affairs and party affairs?" The political commissar of the Fifth Army continued to ask. After finishing speaking, he also felt that this topic had actually been answered by Qi Rui. Therefore, the political commissar of the Fifth Army changed his words slightly, "Which part of military affairs and party affairs are they responsible for?" ”

Qi Rui's mind was running rapidly, and just when he felt that the topic was too big to organize the language, what Daddy Wei Ze had said before popped up in Qi Rui's mind, and Qi Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before, Qi Rui felt that he had determined to work hard to get rid of his father's influence, but now that he hadn't taken a few steps, Qi Rui found that he had to use Daddy Wei Ze's words to guide his actions. It's a great irony.

At this time, it was not Qi Rui's turn to be hypocritical, the matter was in front of him, Qi Rui replied without hesitation: "The purpose of military affairs is to complete the military construction work and promote the military forward. The purpose of Party affairs is to complete Party building and push the Party forward. Over the past 40 years and more, the level of the Liberation Army's understanding of war has continued to improve and develop. The same should be true of the party building of the Liberation Party. As a party committee, we should first start with a clear scope. ”

After saying this, Qi Rui asked again: "Do you think that Commander Zhou Xinhua's reply should be party affairs or military affairs." ”

"I don't think it's a party business." The political commissar of the Fifth Army opened his mouth to speak, and just when everyone thought that he was simply expressing his position, the political commissar of the Fifth Army continued: "But I still think that it should be informed at the meeting of the party committee. ”

The other personnel saw that there was another argument that everyone hadn't considered, but they didn't expect Qi Rui to immediately reply: "Okay, I know your opinion." What other comrades think. ”

The imaginary controversy did not happen, but Qi Rui strongly pushed things to continue to develop. The participants of the party committee meeting adopted a relatively conservative attitude, and everyone still thought that those things should be done according to the previous rules.

Qi Rui breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the meeting, he wasn't worried about these people putting forward opinions, what he was most worried about was that these people wouldn't say anything. The commissar himself has a lot of power, but it only works when the other party obeys. The commanders of these regiments are older than Qi Rui and have deeper qualifications than Qi Rui, so it's not unusual for him not to pee. Finally started the meeting, Qi Rui felt relieved. As for what everyone made at the meeting, Qi Rui felt that this was the power of the participants.

Zhou Xinhua's telegram was sent to the Theater Command, and the Theater Command quickly sent a telegram back, asking the Sixth Corps to send troops to join forces with the Fourth Corps. This caused a lot of waves in the headquarters of the Sixth Corps, "Why should we let the Sixth Corps cooperate with the Fourth Corps to fight?" ”

"The Fourth Corps ran a thousand kilometers on the Great Plains. Conquering Oklahoma City, our Sixth Corps marched 2,000 kilometers through the mountains. We've traveled so far that we have to play a supporting role. The command is not fair! ”

Opinions based on the interests of the Sixth Corps have emerged in such a large number of ways, making the atmosphere in the headquarters move in a very negative direction. Qi Rui looked at the core commanders around him, and they didn't mean to stand up immediately. Although these people don't look very excited on their faces.

The others were silent, and Qi Rui also wanted to slip away. Unexpectedly, the reaction in the headquarters became more and more intense, and the personnel of the staff said that they had completed the next campaign plan, and if they opened a new campaign direction, the previous work would be wasted.

If it's just an emotional vent, Qi Rui thinks it's okay. After everyone is unhappy, they scold, and what to do after scolding. Now it is different, if such things form a collective direction, it is possible that there will be a wave of opposition to the theater command in the Sixth Corps.

At this time, no one came out to speak, Qi Rui could only stand up and shout to everyone, "Comrades, listen to me." ”

But it wasn't loud enough for no one to react. Qi Rui watched as the gang continued to express their opinions, and he slammed his heart on the table with a snap. This time the movement was big enough, and there was finally some reaction in the corps headquarters. Those guys who were full of grievances all turned their heads to look at Qi Rui.

Qi Rui shouted with a straight face: "The basic discipline of the Guangfu Army is to obey orders and listen to commands. Raise your hand who feels that you can't accept this basic discipline. ”

No one is stupid to be able to mix in the corps headquarters, and after listening to Qi Rui's words, they know what Qi Rui means. Many people didn't dare to say anything, and some people muttered: "Political commissar, our Sixth Corps is about to take action against Texas, and now let's divide our forces to support the Fourth Corps, this is not appropriate." Moreover, now that the Fourth Corps has been supported in terms of troops, it is not clear that the Fourth Corps will be supported in terms of materials next. ”

Qi Rui stared at the muttering guy and shouted, "If this is an order from the Theater Command, then we must carry it out." Fighting Texas is a credit, isn't it a credit to support allies? As far as I know, the much-needed support that can be given to friendly forces has always been an important part of the merit evaluation. Do you want to let the Fourth Corps withdraw now, and let our Sixth Corps fight all the battles? Do we really have the ability to run all over the United States in a month or two without any friendly support? ”

Since Qi Rui is talking about the fundamental discipline of the army, and Qi Rui has also publicly expressed his opposition to mountaineering, no one is ready to fight against Qi Rui. No matter how bad the mood was when it was actually executed, Qi Rui at least took the point. Mere arguments do no good.

After suppressing the situation, Qi Rui couldn't help but look at the other main commanders, and saw that they didn't mean to speak at all. At this time, Qi Rui's psychological pressure became huge again, and in his previous experience, he was the one who was pressed by the bullet. Therefore, Qi Rui knows the rebound and dissatisfaction in the heart of the party who was crushed.

Now it was his turn to be the one who pressed the bullet, and the other older main leaders were not taking the blame. Young Qi Rui naturally felt a strong pressure in his heart. Under such pressure, Qi Rui couldn't help but feel a little broken, anyway, things are like this, if you don't do a good job, you will be removed from your post at most. Let's talk about it on the day I was removed.

So Qi Rui immediately convened a meeting, and he took the lead in saying at the meeting: "I think we will call back to the headquarters this time, and we will answer that we will resolutely complete the task." ”

As soon as Qi Rui's words were finished, Zhou Xinhua, the commander of the corps, said slowly, "I agree with the political commissar's opinion. ”

The other members also expressed their support, which made Qi Rui feel like he didn't know what to say for a while. But everyone agrees with Qi Rui's opinion, and Qi Rui naturally can't regret it because he feels uneasy. He immediately ordered the communications staff to send the news out.

After the communications staff officer took the draft telegram and left, Qi Rui continued: "My opinion on the change of the campaign is this. Since we were going to draw troops, we were to split up and march along the Texas railroad as originally planned. The other way was swept along the other railroads. From the original one-way march through Texas, it became two routes, marching into Texas from the west and the north. While this would make the troops appear insufficient, the troops could not afford to waste those roads. ”

Corps Commander Zhou Xinhua did not support or oppose this time, he said: "In that case, at that time, we will simply let the Fourth Corps come to help." From a two-sided attack to a three-sided attack, Texas, which is probably called the Mad Dog State, could not stop it. ”

It's funny, but no one dares to take it as a joke. To a certain extent, the Sixth Corps responded to the request of the Fourth Corps, and it was only natural for the Fourth Corps to return a favor to the Sixth Corps.

"We'll talk about it later." Qi Rui did not hesitate to postpone the issues that were not necessary to consider at the moment to the future.

After the telegram of 'resolutely obey orders' was transmitted to the theater command, Shen Xin, the political commissar of the North American theater, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little worried that Qi Rui would rely on the status of his father Wei Ze to run his own gang in the Sixth Corps. This kind of operation is very easy to understand, but according to Shen Xin's understanding, such a guy who puts the interests of the faction first can't hide it from the eyes of the Military Commission. Those people can indeed rise to high positions, but they are unlikely to cross the final threshold.

Even if he felt at ease, Shen Xin couldn't be completely at ease. In November, it was the third meeting, and at that time, Shen Xin was about to prepare to leave for the central government to be Wei Changrong's deputy. According to the comrades of the Central Committee, it is possible that Shen Xin will take over the power of the Organization Department after Wei Changrong and become a real powerful person. But Shen Xin found that he was not particularly looking forward to such a big man.

Not to mention Wei Changrong's natural identity advantages, the direction of Qi Rui in the future alone makes Shen Xin very worried. Up to now, the governor of Wei Zedu was not prepared to engage in the imperial system. However, people's minds always change quickly, in case one day Wei Zedu Du Du changed his mind, at that time Shen Xin was in charge of the organization department, life may not be easy.

With the expectation of Qi Rui's smooth and normal development, Shen Xin buried this matter in his heart and began to pay attention to another very important battle. At this time, the Fifth Corps of the Liberation Army was leading an army of about 600,000 servants and was tackling New York State and New York City. This area is a truly densely populated and industrially developed area of the United States. According to intelligence, there are probably more than three million Yankees in this land. After the war, the North American theater of the Liberation Army believed that the population of the United States was about 40 million, and solving the Yankees in this encirclement meant that the remaining Yankees had lost one-tenth of their population, which was still a very capable urban population.

However, according to the news from the troops, the Yankees' navy finally came into play, and these US navies cooperated with the US Army to fill a lot of trouble for the Liberation Army. If it was inland, the Liberation Army would have besieged the Yankees long ago and was ready to annihilate them. The seaside portion of New York City is now in the hands of the U.S. Navy, which allows the Yankees to transport troops, replenish ammunition, and evacuate personnel at will. Because of the sea passage, the Liberation Army couldn't even accurately judge how many troops there were in New York City.

"Report, Commissar Shen. The latest battle report. The communications staff officer sent information to Shen Xin on time.

Shen Xin was not excited, he had been reading battle reports regularly in the past two years, and Shen Xin had long been unfazed by these. Open the folder, and the first place in the list is the battle report of New York City, "...... Our troops were moving very slowly in street fighting. The Yankees built barricades and bunkers in the streets. The advance of our troops met with fierce resistance. So far, more than 15,000 commanders and fighters have been killed and wounded......"

Faced with such content, Shen Xin didn't blink his eyelids. So far, the Liberation Army has suffered more than 200,000 casualties on the battlefield. The addition of 15,000 is not an earth-shattering event. After reading all the reports, Shen Xin put away the information and handed the telegram he had prepared to the communications staff officer, "Send this to the Military Commission." ”

The Military Commission received a telegram from Shen Xin, but it was one from Nanjing and one from Beijing. The content of both telegrams was the same, Shen Xin asked the navy if it could send a fleet to the North Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea. Naturally, there are good reasons for this, and if the US Navy can be addressed, China will be able to deal with the United States much faster.

Wei Ze could only smile bitterly after reading it. This idea was discussed by the Navy itself, and the results of the discussion were not optimistic. If at the end of 1889, China could really reach an agreement with Portugal, and China would help Portugal to settle Brazil and restore the monarchy. Portugal and Brazil were able to provide ports to China. At that time, the Chinese Navy was able to carry out the work of attacking the American coast.

At present, the Army of the Liberation Army has seized some of the coastline of the United States, but the United States does not have a supporting maintenance system. Even if the navy of the Liberation Army is vigorous enough, it will have to face a situation where it will lose one and lose it completely. Not to mention the possibility of being attacked by the Royal Fleet at any time in the North Atlantic.

Even though he knew that he was facing such danger, Wei Ze found that he still couldn't resist the urge to have such thoughts. One big reason for this is that it would bring the war to an earlier end. This will allow China to lose a lot of deaths.

Faced with such temptations, Wei Ze could only solve it by thinking of other problems. His eyes fell on the East African administrative region.
