Chapter 641: A War of Their Own (15)
"Your father is going to Beijing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Shen Xin called Qi Rui in front of him and said straight to the point.
"Oh? Do you want me to greet you? Qi Rui asked from a very ordinary point of view.
"He asked the troops to ask who would escort him into Beijing." Shen Xin relayed Wei Ze's order truthfully.
Qi Rui was taken aback at first, and then gradually became a little happy. After a few months in Beijing as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, Qi Rui had begun to lean toward a heavy-handed purge.
Compared with the North American theater, the Asian theater has probably been peaceful for too long. Soldiers have gradually lost their correct judgment about war. I feel that being a soldier is a passing scene, or I feel that being a soldier has a chance to soar. Either way, there is a lack of correct understanding of the battlefield. The proportion of officers with such tendencies is far higher than that of soldiers, and Qi Rui is extremely dissatisfied with this fact. It also made Qi Rui understand why there was a military academy principal who wanted to avoid the conflict between Wei Ze and the central government. If such an event had happened in North America, the probable result would have been that a group of indignant soldiers had gone straight for those who were fighting against Weeser.
Looking at Qi Rui's excited expression, Shen Xin was not so optimistic, he said with a tired expression: "The governor asks you to ask, you can ask." Don't take it for granted. ā
Qi Rui was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anyone else who doesn't want to?" ā
"The materialist dialectic tells us that things may exist. But what we can't observe, doesn't exist for us. So you have to practice. Don't take it for granted. Shen Xin's voice was quite tired.
"I'll get in touch now." Qi Rui left Shen Xin's office without looking back.
Fifteen minutes later, Qi Rui finally met the first group army commander who did not first ask 'what happened' after hearing the inquiry, but immediately said 'resolutely complete the task'. As soon as he put down the phone tiredly, Qi Rui's secretary ran in, "Vice chairman, there have been two calls just now." It's all about asking what's going on. ā
Qi Rui's face was very ugly, and he said unhappily: "If someone comes to ask what happened, you can tell them that it's nothing." If someone takes the initiative to say that the first thing is to complete the task, let me know. ā
Although the secretary looked confused, he didn't ask more. Qi Rui leaned back in his chair, but he had an idea of the idea of reorganizing the army. The first priority of a soldier is to obey orders. It's like a meeting of the army and telling everyone to conquer a mountain. The commander of the unit who will be valued will inevitably be the commander of the unit who directly expresses his willingness to take responsibility and then takes out his idea of attacking the mountain. If the battlefield is too vast, you will be told to think too much. As for the kind of people who listen to the order and ask 'why', they will probably be put on the elimination list.
Among all the troops who asked, the first one to say 'resolutely complete the task' immediately after hearing the order was the group army stationed in Vancouver. None of the various army groups in the Asian part showed the attitude that a politically oriented Liberation Army should have. The mood was dull for a moment, but Qi Rui encouraged himself to cheer up. How do you know what is right if you don't experience such a mistake?
Qi Rui finally decided to give the Asian army groups a chance, if they realized the obligations and ethics of the soldiers, they were willing to answer with the right attitude, Qi Rui was still willing to let the Asian troops escort Wei Ze. Set a 24-hour grace time in his heart, and Qi Rui calmed down and continued to do his own things.
There are still about four hours before the 24-hour time limit, and someone came to look for Qi Rui. It was a lieutenant general of the General Staff who fought in North America with Qi Rui. The lieutenant general closed the door with an expression of knowing a little secret, and asked in a low voice: "Vice chairman, I heard that His Majesty is going back to Beijing?" ā
"Who told you?" Qi Rui looked at this one with a little interested expression.
"A lot of people know about it." The lieutenant general replied.
"Who exactly?" Qi Rui asked.
"This ......" Lieutenant General does not want to talk about.
Qi Rui picked up the phone casually, "Hey, let someone from the security department come over." ā
Half a minute later, the comrades from the security department opened the door and rushed in. Qi Rui said calmly: "Let him explain clearly, who said that His Majesty is going back to Beijing." ā
Qi Rui thought that he would be very angry, but watching the lieutenant general take him away, Qi Rui found that he was calm. I don't know whether to boast about the deepening of my city, or whether to think that I am desperate. Qi Rui couldn't tell the difference. But he knew very well that there was nothing to talk about at this point. The weapon of criticism alone is not enough, and the criticism of weapons is also necessary.
Another four hours passed, and there was no news about the other troops. Qi Rui didn't care so much, he made a phone call to the group army headquarters stationed in Vancouver, "Do you remember what you said yesterday?" ā
"Yes. Resolutely complete the mission! "The signal on the other end of the phone is not very good, but just listening to the tone is very firm.
"It's enough to send a division first. But the whole army group is coming. Qi Rui replied with satisfaction.
"Shall we send armored troops?" The political commissar of the group army on the opposite side looked very excited.
"Is it too late to transport? We don't have experience. Qi Rui was worried.
"We did everything we could. You can load as much as you can, and you won't lose time. "The commissar seems to want his troops to perform well.
āā¦ā¦ All right. Qi Rui could only answer like this.
Perhaps the comrade lieutenant general betrayed righteousness under the pressure of the security office, confessed to some people, and then these people were also taken away. In the next few days, Qi Rui still did not wait for the replies of the Asian military regions. This can't help but make Qi Rui feel deeply disappointed, he doesn't understand a little, is it so difficult to be a simple and bright soldier? Holding the army in his hand and riding the wall attitude, is this a soldier? Even if you're not a warlord, at least you're a military leader!
The training in the North American theater was indeed in place, and the entire army group quickly recruited enough ships to rush from North America to Asia as quickly as possible. The armored forces did not arrive so quickly, and they assembled in Tianjin. Some of the other troops rushed to Nanjing and began to move into the vicinity of Beijing.
And the whole world shook. Adding to the intensity of the shock, Weeser made a public speech in which he fiercely criticized the actions of some in the Central Committee for their complete disregard for the Party organization. At the same time, he announced that he would stop his vacation and return to Beijing.
Many people's faces turned pale, they never expected that Wei Ze could endure so long without words before. I didn't expect Wei Ze to act so decisively. Others cheered loudly with excitement and burst into tears. It's more of a long sigh of relief. His Majesty Weese represents glory, victory, correctness, and greatness. Many people may not love this emperor, but everyone believes in him. It is believed that His Majesty the Emperor, as he propagated the ideals, represents the broad masses of working people. At a time when the vast number of working people are feeling the pain, probably only His Majesty Weeser can believe it.
Rubber pads were hung on the tracks of the armored car to prevent crushing the road surface. Several identical cars were protected in a long armored queue. There were no pedestrians on the street, and the team stopped in front of the gate of the office area of the Old Summer Palace, at which time the gate of the office area was open, and armored vehicles had already driven in.
Wei Ze didn't expect that he would return to Beijing like this. He also felt that when he left Beijing, he probably knew that this was going to happen.
The car drove into the gate and arrived in front of the office building, where Ziyang and others were already waiting. It was Shen Xin who came to open the door for Wei Ze, and he whispered to Wei Ze: "Dudu, there are five people who have not come. Three of them were sick, and two of them were gone. ā
Hearing a certain joy in Shen Xin's voice, Wei Ze smiled: "There are still most of them." ā
"Yes......" There was some embarrassment in Shen Xin's voice.
"Let's go to a meeting, then." Weeser made great strides. Those who had thought they were going to shake hands according to the tradition waited until they saw Wei Ze coming straight up, and they hurriedly moved out of the way. Seeing Wei Ze walk straight into the office building.
Facing the members of the Central Committee who had already arrived, Wei Ze said: "I want to know one thing. Which of the Liberation Party stipulates that you accept the demands of other organizations in the name of the Party organization? ā
Everyone was stunned, they had thought about the thousands of reasons why Wei Ze might accuse them. The only thing they didn't expect was that Wei Ze turned out to be party discipline to accuse them.
"Maybe you yourself feel like an official. But in my opinion, you are first and foremost members of the Liberation Party. And among officials and party members, what I value more is your status as a member of the Restoration Party. Because I won't talk to officials about the big issues of right and wrong. Officials are just civil servants, clerks. Every member of the Liberation Party is first and foremost a member of the ruling class, so we must talk about the major issues of right and wrong. Now, I see people who are self-depraved and don't have a clear sense of who they are. I'm saddened. Wei Ze's voice was not very loud, but the attitude in it was so clear. Some people are more uneasy, while others feel much more relaxed.
On the seventh day after Wei Ze entered Beijing, the meeting of the Central Committee, which had arrived from all parts of the country, decided to dismiss Ziyang from chairman and remove him from all positions within the party. Secretary Luo of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee became the chairman, and a comrade with eagle eyebrows became the premier.
With Wei Ze's call, plus Qi Rui returned to North America. The massive opposition of the masses subsided.
Over the next three years, there were a number of personnel transfers within the party. The task of strengthening the party organization has become the number one task of the Liberation Party. Weeser failed to see this, and in the spring of 1913, Weeser died. He was 80 years old.
After Wei Ze's death, Qi Rui only made one suggestion, hoping that every ten years, the capital could be transferred back and forth between Asia and North America. This proposal was passed, and the original city of Vancouver was renamed the city of Tokyo, becoming the capital of the Republic of China in North America.
In 1922, Marshal Qi Rui retired and became the general secretary of the Liberation Party, the president of the country, and the chairman of the Military Commission. After Wei Ze no longer held these three positions at the same time, the reorganization of power that had not been completed by the previous four chairmen was finally completed in the hands of Qi Rui.
Qi Hongyi didn't get to see this day, and the year after Wei Ze's death, she died in Nanjing.
Bu Ran is not surprised that her husband Qi Rui has reached the pinnacle of power, she has always hoped to be able to stand by the side of the man who has the last power, so that the inner uneasiness can be calmed. Moreover, Qi Rui works in North America, which can also be called 'close to home'.
"Qi Rui, what will happen in the future?" Bu Ran leaned beside Qi Rui. Her and Qi Rui's two children have gone to school and no longer have to be with them every day. The husband and wife also spend more time together.
"After that, it's work. If there is no difference, I can probably do it for two terms. Then retire. Qi Rui spoke in a relaxed tone about the days ahead.
"Do you feel at a loss?" Ayuran found a question that she felt represented her thoughts.
"My father's last words before he died were, don't make a noise. Then he faced death without saying a word. Some say he wasn't brave enough to continue his fight against death. I don't want to think so, and those who dare to face death calmly and accept it can probably be regarded as a rare kind of bravery. Qi Rui replied thoughtfully.
"So what?" Bu Ran also heard Wei Ze's last words, but it was obvious that she couldn't understand Wei Ze's choice.
Qi Rui gently stroked his wife's beautiful face, and replied with some interest: "My father is a person who has made countless meritorious achievements, and his choice has been discussed by so many people. It's hard to say for sure. You asked people like me to make a decision for myself, how could I possibly do it. ā
Regarding the death of his father, Qi Rui also has an unrealistic feeling until now. If his father can live hundreds or thousands of years, Qi Rui will not be surprised. However, it was only a pneumonia and complications that took Wei Ze's life.
There are no last words, no grandiose words. Compared to his life, Weese's death was so bland that it was suffocating. If there is anything to feel at a loss, probably no one is more qualified to feel a loss than Wei Ze.
But Qi Rui felt that his father would never think about it like this. So how can a person who never cares about other people's evaluations, or even has no last words, think about whether he is suffering a loss.
"You really don't know?" Bu Ran enjoyed the feeling of being gently touched by her husband, she closed her eyes and leaned against Qi Rui's side. Then she felt her husband's body suddenly stiffen. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Qi Rui's face was very ugly.
'You really don't know', these words gave Qi Rui a strong stimulus, and these words reminded Qi Rui of Chu Xue.
Two years ago, Qi Rui received a call from Chu Xue. She was seriously ill and bedridden, hoping to see Qi Rui again. Her face was pale and bloodless, which made Qi Rui feel a kind of panic. Chu Xue gently held Qi Rui's hand, it was very cruel to say, this was the first time Chu Xue took the initiative to hold Qi Rui's hand, this was the first time, probably the last time. Chu Xue smiled and said, "Qi Rui." I don't want to tell you, but I can't help but want to tell you. You probably don't know, I've always loved you. ā
No matter what Chu Xue says, it won't make Qi Rui even more impacted. Looking at Qi Rui's almost petrified appearance, a little blood appeared on Chu Xue's face, and she said weakly: "Look, you really don't know. ā
"Then why ......" Although there are thousands of words, Qi Rui can only say so much.
"I love you very much, but I can't find a reason to live with you. You never gave me such a reason. On the day we parted, if you rushed to my house and wanted to take me away, I would probably go with you. But I waited for a long time, and you didn't come. When you show up again, just tell me that you did everything you said. ā
ā¦ā¦
Even though two years have passed, Qi Rui still feels like a knife when he thinks of this. His life is like a train that has been set for a long time, running forward without stopping. However, in such a life, he met a love that could make him truly happy. But in the end, he missed it.
The only one who had a chance for Qi Rui to get what he wanted was his father Wei Ze, and his father also reached out to help with extremely low standards at that time. Qi Rui himself refused his father's help......
"Qi Rui, what's wrong with you?" Bu Ran asked puzzled.
Because of deep guilt and regret, Qi Rui almost reflexively came to the spirit. He stared into his wife's eyes and said seriously, "I really don't know. ā
