Liu Ting was stunned, she had always regarded Chen Nan as her own over the years, and at this time, she suddenly mentioned issues related to her son's life experience, how could she not care.

"Impossible, how can there be such a coincidence." Liu Ting said.

Chen Zikun said: "I'm just talking casually, by the way, you can accompany me when you go to Beijing this time, there must always be someone by your side to sort out the documents." ”

"Okay." Liu Ting agreed without hesitation, she is the only woman in the Chen family who works, she has been engaged in secretarial work in the provincial government, and now she is also at the thirteenth level of administration, which is the same level as Ma Chunhua.

Before leaving Jiangdong Province, Chen Zikun arranged some things, such as introducing work to his old subordinates, redressing several unjust cases, and inspecting the countryside.

Chen Zikun finally embarked on the journey to the north, although he had entered Beijing many times, but this time was different from the past, both full of ambition, but also like walking on thin ice, the train spewed a large cloud of steam, the whistle sounded, the people who saw off the people gradually moved away, he sat on the soft seat of the special car, lit a cigarette, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

This time he went to Beijing, only brought Liu Ting a secretary and two young orderly, Shuangxi said that he would follow him to Beijing to work, but considering Shuangxi's small children, Chen Zikun still refused, and arranged Shuangxi to work in a non-staple food company, which was a great fat difference.

After a day and night of journey, the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station, the relevant personnel greeted at the station, directly took Chen Zikun to the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang to wash the dust, and then for several days, all relevant units invited him to the banquet, until the fifth day was free, he changed into simple clothes, out of his own small western-style building on West Chang'an Street, and went straight to the hair alley.

It was his spiritual hometown in Beijing.

In the courtyard of the Xue family, Baoqing was squatting on the ground with his bare back eating fried noodles, with a clove of garlic on his ear, sucking and eating happily, when he saw Chen Zikun enter the door, he suddenly stood up, and the garlic cloves on his ears fell off.

"Kunzi, you're back!" Baoqing was pleasantly surprised.

……

After Chen Zikun stepped down from the post of provincial governor, the province began large-scale personnel changes, and some people who had stayed in important posts because of Chen Zikun's face were either dismissed, retired, or promoted or demoted, such as Yan Su, the former secretary general of the provincial government, who was obviously not suitable to continue to stay in office, and was assigned to the provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles as the chairman.

Yang Shugen, secretary of the party committee of Kushuijing Township, survived to the end, was promoted exceptionally, and was directly promoted to the magistrate of Nantai County, and Li Huazi, the village party secretary of Lijiazhuang, also rose to the top and became the head of Kushuijing.

The state implements a military rank system, and the cadres of the troops are assessed for military ranks, and it is said that the deputy division level should be a colonel, and the low level should also be a colonel, but Liu Xiaoyong was rated as a lieutenant colonel.

The ceremony was held in the auditorium of the Nanjing Military Region, where General Xu Shiyou, commander of the Military Region, conferred military ranks and awarded medals. Liu Xiaoyong really had the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was awarded a second-class Liberation Medal.

The new five-five-style military uniform is very beautiful, the material of breeches, the red collar badge, the golden Soviet-style large epaulettes, and the armed belt with the texture of calfskin, which is simply unbearable to take off.

The school officer is also equipped with a formal dress, a navy blue double-breasted suit, a white shirt with a tie, and a medal on his chest.

The only regret is that Liu Xiaoyong's epaulettes are double rails and two silver stars, you must know that he was already a colonel in 1947, but after eight years, he was demoted, how can he feel comfortable.

After the awarding ceremony, a fraternity meeting was held, and the Soviet military expert group was also present to celebrate, and the military region's art troupe even sent a group of young and beautiful female literary and artistic soldiers to help the fun, and the officers wore brand-new and straight military uniforms, armed belts, shiny leather shoes, all of them were freshly shaved heads, and the sideburns on both sides were bare, leaving only the "advanced head" on the top, and they also wiped their hair oil, and they were very energetic.

Liu Xiaoyong was in a bad mood, people with the same qualifications as him, and even low, were awarded the rank of colonel or even colonel, and he was very proud, and he had two school officer stars on his shoulders, which was simply faceless.

There is nowhere to talk about this truth, because there is a general low situation in the evaluation of military ranks, many cadres at the battalion level are captains, and many old Eighth Roads with great military achievements are full of grievances because they are not rated as generals, which is much more aggrieved than Liu Xiaoyong.

Our party and our army have a long history, since the August 1 Nanchang Uprising, through the Red Army period, the Anti-Japanese War period, the Liberation War period, the mountains are numerous, the stars are like clouds, how to balance is a university question, and although Liu Xiaoyong is from the underground party, he belongs to the uprising officer sequence, and it is not low to evaluate a lieutenant colonel.

Liu Xiaoyong felt that his deputy commander and deputy division commander would never come out, and instead of condescending to others, it was better to withdraw as soon as possible, transfer to a local cadre, and take care of his family.

He made up his mind, and when he returned, he made a report and applied for a job change.

……

At the same time as the assessment of military ranks, the ranks of administrative cadres are also being assessed, and the central authorities have taken a lot of time to assess the ranks; comrades like Chen Zikun, who was born in an old soldier, had old qualifications, high ranks, and great merits, but were not suitable for holding too high posts, adopted the measures of low posts, low ranks, and high administrative ranks, so Chen Zikun was assigned to the fourth administrative level, which is equivalent to a state deputy post, with a monthly salary of 425 yuan.

Although Chen Zikun wears many hats, but they are all false titles, only the director of the National Aviation Commission is a real position, the original intention of the establishment of this unit is to emulate advanced countries, the development of civil aviation, for the country to train reserve pilots and parachutists, European and American civil aviation has been developed for a long time, ordinary people have sprayed pesticide aircraft, amateur flight schools are also many, but China's industry is underdeveloped, this aviation committee can not do much, so Chen Zikun most of the time in meetings, **, CPPCC, the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang, the State Council, countless.

Since the aviation club is not capable of getting started, it is always possible to engage in model airplanes or something, and Chen Zikun, at the suggestion of Liu Ting, established model airplane clubs in some primary and secondary schools in Beijing, which can be regarded as something to do.

Chen Zikun's old friend Ye Xuefeng was awarded the rank of major general, and is currently working in the General Staff, Zhao Ziming's widow Ye Wei lives with him, Zhao Ziming's son is surnamed Ye with his mother, and he is in junior high school in Beijing, and the family lives very well.

After a period of time in Beijing, after getting acquainted with all aspects, Chen Zikun found an opportunity and cautiously proposed to Premier Zhou that he wanted to meet Tang Yan.

Premier Zhou was not surprised by Chen Zikun's request, he was the general person in charge of the intelligence work behind enemy lines during the Liberation War, there was an old relationship between Tang Yan and Chen Zikun, the prime minister was clear, and the request for a visit was also understandable, so he instructed the Ministry of Public Security to arrange a prison visit.

In the Beijing Gongdelin Detention Center, Tang Yan was wearing civilian clothes, her hair was gray, and she sat opposite Chen Zikun with a calm expression, without handcuffs and shackles, and her complexion was quite good, and she did not show any excitement about the arrival of the deceased.

"You're here." A faint greeting.

"I'm late, little Nanto, I'll say hello to you."

"Xiao Nan is a good boy."

A long silence followed.

Outside the door, the sentry stood solemnly, and I didn't know how many pairs of ears were listening next door, Tang Yan was the backbone of Rao Panyang*** Group, and the chairman personally spoke to the person who wanted to do it, and it was already an extrajudicial grace to be able to see him.

"What do you need?" Chan asked.

Tang Yan smiled: "I don't need anything, I live here in a single room, with heating, a flush toilet, plenty of paper and pens, and I can read newspapers, the conditions are very superior, I believe that the organization will return my innocence." ”

Chen Zikun nodded: "That's good." ”

The correctional officer looked at his watch and coughed dryly.

Tang Yan got up: "I should go back." ”

Chan also stood up and watched her leave.

Tang Yan walked out of the reception room behind the correctional officer, looked back suddenly, and smiled, she was as charming as she was thirty years ago.

"Thank you for coming to see me." Her eyes sparkled brightly.

……

In 1956, the public-private partnership was basically completed, socialist construction was raised to a new level, and the weapons and equipment of the People's Liberation Army were also upgraded on a large scale, and the arsenal began to produce imitation Soviet-style light weapons, Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, squad machine guns, and so on.

As a member of the National Defense Committee, Chen Zikun has the responsibility to show concern for the production of light weapons, and he went to the Baicheng Ordnance Test Center in Jilin to personally inspect and inspect the Type 56 light weapons.

Type 56 semi-automatic imitation is the Soviet SKS semi-automatic rifle, ten years ago the Soviet army was installed, has now been withdrawn, this gun is loaded with ten rounds, the effective range of four hundred meters, the accuracy is quite good, pointing where to hit, because the use of intermediate power bullets, the recoil is very smaller than Hanyang, the size of the gun body is also very suitable for the Chinese to hold, Chen Zikun hit dozens of rounds, no bullets, simply love it.

"It would be nice if there were such weapons during the Anti-Japanese War." He sighed.

The leader of the base handed over the five or six submachine guns, which are a kind of repeating-firing light weapons produced in imitation of the Su AK47 automatic rifle, which is equipped with the main and deputy squad leaders in the troops, and the tactical role is the same as the previous submachine guns, so it is named.

The five-six-stroke magazine has a capacity of 30 rounds, and the firepower is very fierce, which is almost as good as the previous Czech-made light machine guns, but this gun is almost accurate, even if it is at the level of Chen Zikun, it can't hit anything from 400 meters away, but it is indeed a good gun in street fighting, the firepower is stronger than that of submachine guns using pistol bullets, and the mobility is stronger than ordinary rifles.

The squad machine gun uses a hundred rounds of drums, and the firepower is scorching, and it is also a good gun.

Chen Zikun also shot a 54-style pistol, and he felt good.

Chen Zikun, who was addicted to guns, finished his inspection, returned to Beijing, got off the train at the railway station, boarded a special train and went back to his residence, and was sitting in the car with his eyes closed to recuperate, when suddenly the noise outside disturbed him.

When I opened the curtains, a group of red scarves carrying schoolbags were holding a fortune teller with cold eyebrows, and said sternly: "You god stick who preaches feudal superstition, follow us to the police station!" ”

Chen Zikun was happy, that embarrassed guy wasn't Hu Banxian.
