Chapter 168: Spreading Crisis (10)
"Qi Rui, what do you think?" Li Yannian asked Qi Rui next to him with a wine glass. The matter of the war between China and the United States has been discussed for a while, and Qi Rui has never said a word, except for listening to it and eating and drinking. Li Yannian thinks that Qi Rui has to express his views.
The plates on the dining table are rectangular, and at first glance they look like cheap porcelain produced on a large scale. However, the rectangular plate shape is a bit new, and in the fierce competition, the store can only use such a cost-saving model to increase the gimmick due to cost considerations.
The fish-flavored shredded meat on the plate was almost finished, and Qi Rui used chopsticks to flick the remaining meat and garlic sprouts a few times. Then he pointed to the plate and said, "I served in North America, and this is probably the terrain of the United States." In the northeast corner, the pile of shredded meat represents the best of the Great Lakes region of the United States. If we go to war with the United States, it doesn't matter if we defeat it elsewhere. If this area can be destroyed in one fell swoop, the United States will be finished. ”
The soldiers in the intermediate training class came from all over the world, and after listening to Qi Rui's words, everyone was quiet. All eyes fell on the plate. Qi Rui casually put a few chopsticks on the plate, "This is the big river and mountain range in the United States. The western region is vast and sparsely populated, the people are fierce, and every family has a gun. If you fight it, I'm afraid you'll have to kill it all. The Northeast region is difficult to fight in winter, and if we want to win, I think we should destroy it. In the battles from spring to autumn, factories and mines concentrated on the Great Lakes were destroyed. Destroy the industrial power of the United States. There is no need to be in a hurry in the west, just advance steadily to the south. ”
Although the map is rudimentary, it is already very visual in the eyes of young soldiers. Listening to Qi Rui's suggestion, many people had already nodded slightly. After telling his opinion, Qi Rui put down the chopsticks that temporarily served as a whip. "But I don't think it's very likely that a full-scale war will break out in the next three years. We are not ready for a full-scale war. ”
"Weapons, ammunition and population?" Li Shaokang put forward a very traditional view.
Qi Rui shook his head, "If it's just these, I think it can be done in a year or two." What was not prepared was propaganda work for this brutal war. Why do millions of troops, tens of millions of people risk their lives to go to war? This war will not be fought for one year, but for three or five years. Even if the U.S. government collapses, the states of the United States will not collapse on their own. When the time comes, North America will be full of corpses and rivers of blood. Let everyone fight like this for five years, fight for ten years. I have to tell everyone something, right? ”
"So what's the point? If Your Majesty says that you want to fight the United States, then we will naturally go to fight the United States. Although Li Yannian agrees with Qi Rui's opinion in his heart, he still wants to try Qi Rui again. Unexpectedly, when His Majesty Wei Ze was mentioned, he found that Li Shaokang and Hu Xingzhi's expressions were a little uncomfortable.
Qi Rui was silent for a moment before saying, "If Your Majesty wants to fight, as soon as this news comes out, Your Majesty will definitely start publicizing it." So far, although there are many newspapers that have followed this story, there are very few people who have worked hard to promote it. That is to say, His Majesty does not mean to fight. It's just that some people want to fight. ”
Speaking of which, Li Yannian felt a little uneasy in his heart. What Qi Rui said was something that Li Yannian needed a lot of effort and might not be able to figure it out. Not to mention that he himself didn't dare to touch the heights of the sky. As he just said, if Wei Ze ordered the war, Li Yannian would immediately go to war. Don't question, don't object.
In addition to the reverence for the position of emperor, Li Yannian believed that he had really received great benefits from His Majesty Emperor Wei Ze. If it weren't for His Majesty's benevolence, his hometown would not have been on the verge of starvation, but would have been in a terrible state of hunger as it had been for hundreds of years. If it weren't for the compulsory education implemented by His Majesty Wei Ze, Li Yannian would not have had the opportunity to go to school, and finally came to this day, discussing national affairs with a group of sons and brothers in the capital Nanjing, receiving intermediate training with a group of outstanding soldiers, and possibly becoming a lieutenant colonel. It is even possible to see His Majesty Weese with his own eyes.
Therefore, Wei Ze's order has an unobjectionable authority to Li Yannian, and his dissatisfaction with those sons and brothers and the dissatisfaction with the powerful does not involve His Majesty Wei Ze. This emperor, who made the people really feel a happy life, is a god-like existence for Li Yannian.
And Li Yannian didn't find the problem in his thoughts, in a sense, it was precisely because of Wei Ze's existence that he gave birth to a vote of the Yuan Father and the son of the Yuan Father family. The power that these sons and buddies rely on is based on the existence of Wei Ze.
Li Shaokang didn't want to make too much connection with the relationship between Qi Rui and Wei Ze, so he interjected: "It's good not to fight, we can just complete this training." I just want to be judged as good and then promoted. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Shaokang picked up his wine glass, "I said Lao Li, your basic military skills are really solid." It was an eye-opener for me. Our team will have to rely on you to lead it in the future. ”
During this period of time, Li Yannian's opinion of Brother Gongzi has also changed slightly, Qi Rui is of course a big reason, Li Shaokang and Hu Xingzhi, who have above-level abilities, also made Li Yannian find that in fact, there is a Brother Gongzi who cannot be equated with incompetence. Not to mention that in this group, everyone is not bullying, but to be motivated and more cooperative. You must know that when you were at the grassroots level, you didn't have Brother Gongzi to be so polite and respectful to Li Yannian. Even when they were at the same level, their sons dared to "give orders" to Li Yannian.
"Li Yannian, you must let our company (battalion, regiment) win this time!" This kind of remark was what Li Yannian heard the most when he was a low-ranking officer. Or rather, the words that impressed him the most. If the company wins the victory, it will have group honor, and the group honor will give the officers in the group a chance to be promoted faster.
Li Yannian is not against cooperation, many friends and many paths. There are only so many places that can be promoted, and the promotion of a group of incapable people will naturally delay Li Yannian's promotion speed. That's what makes him the most angry.
Clinking glasses and drinking with Li Shaokang, Li Yannian smiled: "Progress together." Everyone works well, and I believe that our results will be very good. ”
On the third day after the wine was drunk, Li Yannian found that his judgment of the matter was not correct. As soon as the statistics internship ended, the trainees made adjustments. The original team was all broken up and reorganized. The original nine-man group was gone, and the new establishment was a squad of 30 cadets, which was exactly close to the establishment of an infantry platoon. The 360 students were divided into 12 classes.
Qi Rui, Li Yannian, Li Shaokang, Hu Xingzhi and others were completely scattered and rescored. Now they are all in different classes. And Li Yannian didn't expect that after the redivision, His Majesty Wei Ze suddenly came to inspect. Naturally, this news was kept secret, and it was not until after all the students had gathered in the playground that they were informed that the leader who had come to inspect was His Majesty Weeser.
His mind was in chaos, and Li Yannian didn't know what he was supposed to think at all. Unlike Li Yannian, Wei Ze is very clear about his purpose. In order for the retirement system to be introduced, there must be enough young people to take up leadership positions. If young people are never able to take responsibility, there is no metabolism to talk about.
In the process of persevering with the old brothers, Weeser must have his own hole cards. Suppose there is an old brother playing "I'm not doing it!" It's all you! "By using the trick of retreating as advance, Weser will be able to immediately push a large number of new cadres out of leadership positions. So after returning to Nanjing, Wei Ze did not go to calm the objections of the old brothers, but first came to inspect this group of young blood.
Of course, Wei Ze knew that his son was in the team, and he didn't deliberately search for it. Weeser's attention was on the whole group of young people. These people are from different backgrounds, and many of them are also the children of old brothers. None of this made Wei Ze feel uneasy, the only thing that made him uneasy was that the right to personnel had become hereditary. If the promotion is only carried out step by step, there is no problem at all in the practice of not avoiding relatives and hatred.
