"Mingshan, do you support Shen Xin as the next prime minister?" Ruan Xihao's words were extremely straightforward, and at this time he had no intention of hiding it anymore. A person from the army has the opportunity to become the prime minister, or the candidate trained by Wei Ze is probably only Shen Xin alone.

Wang Mingshan and Shen Xin's personal relationship does not need to be mentioned at all, and he has no objection to Shen Xin becoming the prime minister at all. But Wang Mingshan still said bluntly: "I listen to the governor about this matter." ”

Ruan Xihao looked at Wang Mingshan with a look of disappointment, after all, he was an old general for many years, but he didn't say anything, and that bearing alone made Wang Mingshan feel great pressure. However, Wang Mingshan has no intention of giving in, he continued: "After the end of the second year of the five-year plan, the government will be changed, and before the end of the five-year plan, the central government will be re-elected. This system has been decided, and I will definitely support Shen Xin when the government changes, but now I only listen to the governor. ”

It was January 2, 1885, and the three sessions were coming to an end. Even if no one did anything about Levi at this time, the government was about to change in 1886. At that time, whether Levi's could be re-elected depended on the meaning of the Standing Committee. Of course, if Weeser had to re-elect Levi, that would be a different matter. If Weeser does not have this plan, just looking at the level of opposition Levi is suffering now, his resignation after the change of office is already a certainty.

"Mingshan, you're getting more and more slippery." Ruan Xihao said with a smile.

Wang Mingshan replied: "I have nothing to slip my head on, I will do whatever the governor says." I've been like this for thirty years. I think it's not just me, it's Shen Xin. ”

Seeing that Wang Mingshan had a firm attitude and did not want to get involved in the competition, Ruan Xihao did not have the means to force Wang Mingshan. The secretary of the central bank is detached, the Ministry of Finance is in charge of fiscal policy, and the central bank is in charge of monetary policy. Both departments are under the management of the State Council, and Nguyen Hee Ho has great influence in the military, but he has no way to intervene in the central bank. So Ruan Xihao simply changed his name, "Mingshan, don't you think the governor still wants to support Levi?" ”

Wang Mingshan also said cheerfully, "Vice Chairman Ruan, I think there are too many things you have proposed. If you just want to speed up immigration in North America, you don't need to spend so much. If you really want to engage in ideological construction, that is too simple. ”

Ruan Xihao did not object to Wang Mingshan's opinion, he changed his direction, "You should know that the governor wants to destroy the United States, and this is probably our biggest plan so far." ”

Wang Mingshan nodded, the military plan to attack Britain was carried out too smoothly, and there was a lot of reflection and discussion in China. Everyone thought that the British were too determined at first, and unilaterally thought that Britain would desperately fight a bloody war with China for the sake of the colonies. But the British didn't take the colonies seriously at all, and in those areas where the grass was beaten and the rabbits were hunted, the British retreated in great strides.

Now the only two countries that China can fight are the United States and Russia, and other regions really lack the attraction for China to take action. This is true not only of China, but of the world's great powers. At the recently concluded Berlin Conference, the agreement of the countries can only be described as nonchalant and half-hearted. European countries do not have the ability to enter the interior of Africa on a large scale, so Belgium, a country with a big nose, has been forced to encircle nearly one million square kilometers of land in the interior of Africa. If those European powers had been serious, they would not have been able to produce such an outcome.

The Europeans can be careless, but China has no such intentions. If you can carve up the United States with the British, at least dismember the United States. China, which controls the entire North Pacific, is bound to have an endless future. The war against the United States will be the last big battle in the lives of Ruan Xi Hao and his group of veterans, and it will also be their real pinnacle.

At least in Wang Mingshan's view, the contradiction between Ruan Xihao and others and Levi is a disagreement at the national strategic level. When Levi was in Guangdong, he was a well-known figure in the army for slashing military spending. It must be said that Wang Mingshan is actually very supportive of Levi's fiscal policy. He believes that before the end of the Fourth Five-Year Plan, or even before the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan, China is not suitable to come to a war to resolve the United States.

On the cusp of the storm, Shen Xin did not shy away from this. Passively pushing people will only become a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, even if Shen Xin is not a chess player, he is far from being a chess piece. At this time, Shen Xin and Wei Changrong, Minister of the Organization Department, Li Xin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Pang Congcong, Minister of Industry, held a small meeting together.

The current Vice Premier Shen Xin said frankly: "I have to say first, can I not discuss it with you like this, I still don't want to discuss it in this way." It's best to talk about something in person at a meeting. ”

Pang Congcong couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. Shen Xin is a few years younger than Pang Congcong, but he can say things that only big people can say in such an old-fashioned manner, and it is really difficult for Pang Congcong to comment on this. But one thing is very clear, what Shen Xin said was from his heart, holding a small meeting is something that the Restoration Party has always opposed, and it is also something that the Restoration Party has never been able to put an end to. But this kind of thing is so nonsense.

It's not that no one has suffered in this regard, Wei Ze has never been soft on the matter of "private centralization", but at an important juncture, everyone will always form a gang first and form a temporary gang. Because the person who provoked the incident had to collude first, so whether he wanted to calm things down or fight-for-tat, he had to organize. This is what is said in the "Organizational Engineering" course in party schools and cadre schools, that organized can always defeat unorganized.

However, if you dare to hold this meeting in front of Wei Changrong, you must have enough courage. Wei Changrong, who is in charge of the Organization Department, has a lot of power and scares people to death, and the Organization Department can decide the fate of officials. Including officials of Shen Xin's level.

Shen Xin made his position clear, "Some people disagree with Prime Minister Levi's policy and hope to change the current strategy for peace. I support the strategy of peace, and this is not the time for war. If the foreign devil himself sends his face up for us to beat, that's a saying. They are honest and honest, and we naturally want to be able to use peacetime to develop our own strength as much as possible. The battle has been fought for too long, and it has to rest. Take a breath. ”

The old god Wei Changrong was there, listening without any expression. Pang Congcong agrees with Shen Xin's view that in the past twenty or thirty years, no matter whether the war was fierce or not, the country has always been on the track of "everything for victory, everything for war". If we want to develop the economy, we naturally have to follow the line of peace, and not fighting war is not the same as peace. Peace is the stage in which the avoidance of war is the highest guideline. At least until the end of the Berlin Conference to carve up Africa, China will not be at peace.

Foreign Minister Li Xin spoke, "When I returned from Berlin to report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that there would be at most one more war that China would take the initiative to launch in the future. At home, we must follow the line of peace and make good preparations for dominating the world in the future. ”

Pang Congcong listened to the two men talk about their positions, and she felt a little nervous. If, according to these two men, there is such a core group of people who are willing to support Weese's peace line, then who is behind the war who advocates war? On the surface, the current situation is just a debate about social development, and Levi believes that it is not necessary to impose a new standard of death, but to believe that the masses of the people will pursue the direction of progress. The prime minister of the Republic of China was not even afraid of offending people, quoting Wei Ze's sentence that "there are only backward leaders, and there are no backward masses."

As the opposite, Ruan Xihao quoted Wei Ze's other sentence "If you can't get a broom, the dust won't run away by itself" to deal with it.

As to whether the change in social atmosphere should be stipulated or promoted, the positions of the two sides seem to be incompatible.

In Shen Xin's eyes, this controversy has become a conflict between the "war policy" and the "peace policy", and Pang Congcong has to admit that Shen Xin has indeed seen it more thoroughly.

If it had been before, to this extent, Wei Ze would have come out to speak in person. However, the current Weize is only clinging to the basic democratic system within the party, and everyone can express their own views, and there is no way to directly lead the way of thinking that Weeser did in the past. Pang Congcong felt very uncertain in his heart, what did Wei Ze think of the motives behind these things?

Shen Xin continued: "The most important task now is to maintain the system, and no matter what the outcome of the specific discussion will be, the system and unity must not be destroyed. I'm not saying that Levi has to be prime minister, I just think it's too harmful to act rashly. The current practice is not institutionalized. ”

Wei Changrong spoke at this time, "We have a recall system, and so far, I haven't seen anyone acting by means other than the system. ”

"I think they mean they want to force Levi to step down himself." Shen Xin said.

Wei Changrong chuckled, "They want to force Levi to step down by himself, if Levi is unmoved, what can they do to Levi?" Even if the Central Committee is required to hold a meeting and finally remove Levi's, this is the due process stipulated by the organization. It's just that we've rarely had this situation before. Even if it does, it's only something that happens in lower-level units. ”

Pang Congcong felt that Wei Changrong was too dogmatic, and she couldn't help but say: "That kind of situation is basically a situation where the leader wants to remove his subordinates and go through a recall process. At least I don't know of any leader who was directly removed by the party committee. ”

Pang Congcong, who has rich administrative experience, came out to speak, and the other three people didn't say anything more. However, Pang Congcong was very keenly aware that these three people had nothing to say. It stands to reason that at this level, you should be able to figure out the problem on your own. However, Pang Congcong may have too many ideas now, and it is really difficult to determine what the real reason for this incident is at this time.

With Pang Congcong's experience, she no longer guessed by herself, but said bluntly to everyone: "I now feel that there is a lot deeper than what is on the surface. But I didn't figure it out, but everyone did. I would now like to ask you to tell me a good one. Please please please comply with my request. ”

The other three, you look at me, I look at you, there is sympathy in your eyes, but also a little helpless. In the end, Shen Xin thought about it and said: "I think so, too many people have reached the age of retirement. You also know that in our system, as soon as the head of the person leaves, the tea will be cold. ”

Shen Xin only said this, he didn't babble on and on, and analyzed it comprehensively. However, Pang Congcong doesn't need Shen Xin to analyze so much, and that's enough.
