Chapter Twenty-Eight: Always Be Ready
Chen Zhaoping was very surprised, and after he admitted that he had written "On Whether the Formulation of 'Two Whatevers' Is Scientific or Not," the Ministry of Public Security only came to make a record for him and asked him to sign and draw the matter. However, he is still confined in the compound of the Ministry of Public Security, and the treatment is similar to the original, as long as he does not run, nothing happens. Even in order to keep up with his grades and other classmates, the Ministry of Public Security also took all the textbooks for him and let him study on his own. That's it. Chen Zhaoping was locked up in a daze until June. Suddenly, one day, two comrades from the Ministry of Public Security called him to the office.
When he entered the office, Chen Zhaoping found that there were still 3 people sitting in this office, so that the originally small office seemed crowded, but fortunately, the two public security officers walked out after bringing Chen Zhaoping in, which made the whole office seem larger.
"It's Chen Zhaoping, right? Get to know, I am the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily xxx, you can call me Comrade X or Uncle X. ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Zhaoping's tears flowed down. Originally, when he had been confined in the compound of the Ministry of Public Security, although he had good food and drink, he was worried, and no one knew what the consequences would be. In fact, if he wanted to run, he had a chance, and even a lot of opportunities, but he didn't dare to run, he was worried that he would bring some consequences to his family after he ran away (he didn't know that Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei had been suspended and checked), in order not to implicate the people in the family, Chen Zhaoping held on here. Sometimes he even wondered why he didn't drop a brick from the sky and just stoned himself to death. But he didn't even dare to think about it, for fear that others would say that he committed suicide in fear of sin. He knew what the consequences would be for his family. Today, as soon as he heard this sentence from the editor-in-chief of "Guangming Daily", Chen Zhaoping knew that his affairs had been qualified! I'm fine!
Looking at the tears flowing from Chen Zhaoping's eyes, the editor-in-chief did not speak. In the past ten years, he has seen too many such situations, too many times, and even himself, when he was first released from the cowshed, didn't he cry a mess?
Chen Zhaoping's control ability is still quite good, and after a while, he seems to be normal: "Uncle X, what do you want me to do now?" Chen Zhaoping knew that the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily would not come to talk to him, a college student who had just entered college.
Editor-in-chief X nodded silently in his heart, he is worthy of being a child of a military family, and his tolerance and reaction speed are strong.
"Well, I won't say much else. The central leader of your article "On Whether the Formulation of the "Two Whatevers" is Scientific or Not has read it, and thinks that it is okay to write and is more in line with reality, and we are ready to publish it on the internal reference. I'm here this time to get you to revise it. Editor-in-Chief X cut straight to the point. After all, time is very limited, and this thing must be sorted out immediately, which is a political task and a political need.
"Please rest assured, Editor-in-Chief X, I will definitely change the article as soon as possible." Chen Zhaoping straightened his chest and abdomen, and stood straight in front of the editor-in-chief X.
"Good! Young people are motivated! These two are the editors of our newspaper, Editor Li and Editor Yu. As he spoke, he pointed out to Chen Zhaoping: "The two of them will cooperate with you in revising the article "Is the Formulation of "Two Whatevers" Scientific", and they will also tell you the requirements of our editorial department. I still have something to do, so I won't mix it with you here, but you have to hurry, tomorrow afternoon, this thing must be handed over to me! Editor-in-Chief X was talking as he cleaned up the things on the table, and it was clear that he was indeed very busy.
"Uncle X (Editor-in-Chief X) Don't worry, we will definitely get the manuscript out!" The three people in the room said at the same time.
"That's good!" When Editor-in-Chief X said this, he had already arrived at the door of the room, and just before he went out, he remembered something: "Chen Zhaoping, this article can't belong to your name at that time, but we will still give you the manuscript fee." When he said this, the editor-in-chief of X said it in a half-joking tone.
"No problem, I didn't plan to be a name!" This is Chen Zhaoping's heart, in fact, if he knew that it would be like this, it is estimated that he would not even be able to write it.
。。。。。。
Two days later, Chen Weixiong received a call from Chen Zhaoping to go home, and the phone did not mention his affairs during this period of time, but just greeted his family and reported his safety as usual. Chen Weixiong didn't say anything, and he didn't want to say it, but just asked Chen Zhaoping to study hard, actively move closer to the party organization, and strive to join the party in the shortest possible time.
At dinner in the evening, Chen Weixiong very calmly said that Chen Zhaoping had called home, and Chen Zhaojun noticed that when Chen Weixiong was saying this, he didn't know that the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, or Zhang Guimei helped him pick them up.
Chen Zhaojun knew that the call from the eldest brother meant that he was fine. Chen Zhaojun's heart finally calmed down.
Sure enough, two days later, Chen Zhaojun saw a special commentator's article titled "Scientific Argumentation of "Two Whatevers" on the internal reference that Chen Weixiong took home, and Chen Zhaojun knew that this should be the stuff of the eldest brother Chen Zhaoping.
Chen Zhaojun didn't say anything to his eldest brother, in his opinion, Chen Zhaoping has this thing, and his future career should be bright. He really wanted to guess how big an official the eldest brother would be in the future? But that's all for later. Now what he thinks about the most is the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam that is about to start. Chen Zhaojun knew that Chen Weixiong's army would enter Vietnam as soon as possible. Due to poor preparation, the casualties of their army were very serious. The best way to reduce casualties is to train more in jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare.
。。。。。。
When he knew that his eldest son was gone, Chen Weixiong devoted more attention to the management of the army. He found a problem: Recently, public opinion has begun to pay more attention to the affairs of Vietnam. He was a little puzzled that China and Vietnam had always been a comrade and brotherly relationship. How can the Chinese tighten their belts and support Vietnam for free in such a difficult time, how can they take revenge in such a way?
That night, when Chen Weixiong returned home from work, he found that his eldest son, Chen Zhaojun, was sitting in a pile of newspapers looking for something.
"Third child, what are you doing?" Chen Weixiong is worried that once his wife Zhang Guimei comes back, he will be unhappy to see his son messing up the ground. Chen Weixiong sometimes thinks that it is good for him to marry a wife who is a nurse, but he is too particular about hygiene. If there is a little unclean place in the house, she has to clean it up.
"I want to look it up in the newspaper to see if there is a newspaper that does not talk about Vietnam's anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese affairs." Chen Zhaojun replied to Chen Weixiong's words while looking at it.
When Chen Weixiong heard this, it was like five thunderbolts. He reacted immediately, why does our country have such a big public opinion? It's time to prepare for war!
Thinking about this, Chen Weixiong felt that it was necessary to immediately report his analysis to the army commander, and the troops should be prepared!
。。。。。。
"Give me the commander's house!" Chen Weixiong picked up the phone and asked the communications company to take it to the commander's home.
"Dad, I heard that Vietnam is all about tropical rainforests, and they have learned guerrilla tactics from our country for so many years, plus they have fought for so many years, you say that if we fight with it, who will win?" Chen Zhaojun rummaged through the newspaper and said to Chen Weixiong casually. Chen Weixiong was shocked again, listening to his son's words, he imagined that in the real battle, a group of PLA soldiers were like the Japanese soldiers back then, and they were knocked to the ground by cold guns and cannons for no apparent reason, and they didn't even know where the enemy was. Thinking of this, Chen Weixiong began to feel shuddered. I didn't even hear the voice of the commander on the phone.
"Dad, Uncle Commander is calling you." Chen Zhaojun heard the voice of the army commander on the phone and hurriedly reminded Chen Weixiong.
Chen Weixiong realized that he was holding the phone in a daze.
"I'm sorry Commander, I'm Chen Weixiong, there is something I want to report to you immediately, do you have time?" Chen Weixiong hurriedly apologized.
"You, Chen Weixiong, picked up the phone and didn't speak, I thought there was a problem with the line. Tell me anything. The commander complained.
"Commander, I need to report this to you in person, you see。。。。。。" Chen Weixiong knew that this matter was not clear on the phone.
"That's right." The commander's tone became serious, and he knew that Chen Weixiong would not make such a request if it were not for something very important and that needed to be kept secret from time to time.
"I'm at home now. You come over and take it. "The courtyard of the army chief is still very strictly managed in peacetime, and there are guards watching it in peacetime. In addition, there is a small soundproof living room, and the degree of secrecy is no worse than that of the small conference room of the military department.
When Chen Weixiong was packing up his military uniform and preparing to go to the army commander's house, Chen Zhaojun said on the side: "Dad, I read in the book that the original Kwantung Army was much stronger than the Japanese army that entered China later. You're right? Chen Weixiong heard his son's words, but he didn't answer anything.
Chen Weixiong had experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, and of course he knew the difference between the Kwantung Army and other Japanese troops.
On the way to the commander's house, Chen Weixiong repeatedly thought about what Chen Zhaojun had just said. Indeed, if you train more in peacetime, you can reduce casualties in war, and everyone understands this truth.
By the time he arrived at the army commander's house, Chen Weixiong had already summed up the problem just now, that is: sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime.
。。。。。。
About 15 minutes after Chen Weixiong entered the army commander's house, the political commissar of Army X also chewed the food in his mouth and went around the courtyard wall to the army commander's house.
At dinner that night, Chen Weixiong did not show up, and Chen Weixiong did not come back until Zhang Guimei fell asleep.
However, from the second day, the entire X Army began a large-scale training activity. A very loud slogan has become familiar to every soldier: sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime! However, what some of the battalion and regiment commanders below did not understand was that the military department had specially selected a few battalions and regiments for this purpose, and asked them to get rid of the training syllabus and sum up a set of methods for jungle warfare and small group warfare. Although the army did not explicitly say why such an arrangement was made, many battalion and regimental cadres had already analyzed some things from the recent movements, and their enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high.
