"People can go to North America to farm. Isn't that freedom?"
"If people can go to North America to farm is freedom, then people who can't go to North America to farm are not free?"
Qian Duoduo and Qi Rui's two statements stunned all the members of the party committee. Qian Duoduo thought that people were free to farm in North America. This view was actually quite popular. However, Qi Rui's words made these high-level officers agree even more.
"Then is freedom about having a choice?" Li Yannian didn't have the impulse to participate in the more acute questions. Even he couldn't help but ask as his comrades nodded in agreement.
"The first condition of freedom is to create a space for people to choose." Seeing that everyone cared so much about this, Qi Rui couldn't help but show off his father's teachings. He raised a teacup. "If this teacup is solid, it's just a solid ceramic pillar. Only when the middle of the teacup is empty can things be stored in it. The system created by our country is this teacup. Only in the system of the country can there be space to store things. Whether it's water or something else, the user can choose according to his or her own thoughts. Only with this definite space can there be freedom for the user. Using this space is freedom. Not using this space is also freedom. If the people are willing to come to North America to farm, it's their freedom. If the people don't want to come to North America to farm, it's also their freedom. "
This statement was a little advanced. Nowadays, people thought that what they could do was freedom. Some of the comrades didn't quite understand Qi Rui's statement that not doing anything was considered freedom.
"If he doesn't want to do it, what does this have to do with freedom?" Ma Xiaoming asked.
Qi Rui shook his head in disagreement. His father had discussed this before. Qi Rui thought he had long forgotten about it. However, as Vézé said, he couldn't remember it because he didn't want to. When he wanted to remember, he would naturally remember it. "What you're talking about is called a personal wish. It has nothing to do with freedom. A wish is a personal matter. It's a personal thought. Freedom is a social concept. It's a social concept. "
Ma Xiaoming frowned. His round face showed confusion and a trace of displeasure. He asked, "Us? Isn't Z saying the same thing? "
This question stunned Qi Rui. The other comrades also felt that there was no difference between what Ma Xiaoming and Qi Rui had said. Of course, not being willing to do it was a personal choice. This was a human's right. If he had to look at it from a societal point of view, wouldn't it be like forcing an ox to drink water?
Qi Rui's brain was also spinning rapidly. He instinctively felt that what Ma Xiaoming said was fundamentally different from what he had said, but he could not immediately sort out his thoughts in a short period of time.
"Ma Xiaoming, what you just said lacks a premise. Tell me the premise. "Commander Zheng Minglun, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
"Prerequisites?" Ma Xiaoming was stunned. He thought for a moment before replying, "What I mean is, if someone asks a person to do something, they can choose not to do it. This choice is not freedom. "
"Are you referring to a representative of society or an ordinary person?" Commander Zheng Minglun continued to ask.
"This …" Ma Xiaoming was tongue-tied. He seemed to have understood something.
"If this person represents the power of society, for example, our army. Once the order is given, charge! Indeed, some people can choose to refuse. This is a societal concept. If it's a problem between ordinary people, it's a personal wish. Whether a person agrees or not, that's a personal matter. Moreover, the government does not allow a person to force another person. Even if there's freedom, it's the freedom defined by the government. "Commander Zheng Minglun spoke frankly with assurance.
The group of young men looked at Zheng Minglun, dumbfounded. Their impression of Commander Zheng Minglun was that of a serious old soldier. In other words, he was not someone who was good at explaining things in simple terms.
Looking at the gazes of the young men, Zheng Minglun smiled. "This is what the commander-in-chief said when he gave us a lecture on the law. You don't have to feel embarrassed because you don't understand. Back then, during the lecture, it took almost ten days to repeatedly discuss and talk about this principle. I'm just barely clear about it. You guys can take your time. "
After all, the young men grew up in a new society. It was not that they did not completely understand these principles, but they had not established the basic concepts. If they debated among themselves, they would not have any authority. Now that there was a senior taking the lead, and Qi Rui had also talked about some principles. After a little more discussion, this group of people also had some understanding.
Ma Xiaoming perhaps felt that his initial understanding was not complete enough. He said with some embarrassment, "It seems that my understanding of society and individuals is still insufficient. I feel that individuals have nothing to do with society. Now, as long as they are not in a situation where they are completely isolated from society in the deep mountains, people living in society can't be said to have nothing to do with society. "
"From the content of this learning document, the commander-in-chief wants us to establish a new social concept. Everyone is equal, everyone must abide by the common law, and the country must protect everyone's freedom and rights on the basis of this common law. "Qi Rui also felt that he had learned a lot from this political learning.
"But who will prevent the people from enjoying the freedom stipulated by the country?" Qian Duoduo could not help but ask.
Hearing this, Zheng Minglun could not help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint mocking smile. However, Zheng Minglun did not participate in such a discussion.
Qi Rui had an opinion on this. He replied, "In the content of the political content we learned, one of the characteristics of the feudal system is personal dependence. According to feudal power, a person can't make choices according to their own ideas. "
"Then let me make an example. If you go to the factory, you have to listen to the factory's arrangements. These arrangements may not be your own ideas. "Qian Duoduo seemed to be a little serious.
Qi Rui replied, "If you really feel that the factory is not suitable, then you can leave. I heard … my elders say that in the past, even if you go to a village in Guangxi, you can be killed. For no reason, the people in the village feel that in their land, they have the final say. They can kill whoever they want. If they don't know if that person has a background, they may not dare to make a move. If they know that they don't have any backing, they will be killed. Now, there is no such problem. If anyone dares to kill, the government will immediately use the public prosecution and the law to catch the murderer and bring him to justice. "
After saying this, Qi Rui thought that Qian Duoduo would still be stubborn. He did not expect Qian Duoduo to sigh. "I heard that some mountainous areas are similar."
Qi Rui was stunned. He had heard about the old era from his father, Vézé, and his brother, Wei Changrong. The cruel killing caused by the conflict between the local people accumulated for decades, and after hundreds of years, it gave birth to professional mercenaries like Vézé and Wei Changrong. Now, these two people were regarded as the moral standard of revolutionary leaders. In fact, when they were young, they were famous murderers who killed people like flies and owed a lot of blood.
After the establishment of the Min dynasty, the story of people dying in the remote mountains was widely spread, and Qi Rui had actually heard about it. And judging from Qian Duoduo's words, he was very unhappy about not being able to eliminate this rotten thing. With a thought, Qi Rui said in a clear voice, "So we must continue to promote social progress and completely eliminate this ugly thing. So that all people can live a peaceful life and enjoy the freedom and happiness established by the country! "
Young people had a natural love for justice and believed that the world should be full of sunshine. Especially this group of soldiers who were already in the middle of society, they resonated with this. When Qi Rui said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "It seems that our Liberation Army has always been the defender of justice and freedom!"
Qi Rui wanted to respond loudly, but he felt strange in his heart. Since childhood, his mother had trained the Crown Prince and the future emperor as goals. Qi Rui was not the kind of silly child who thought that the world was bright. As the son of Vézé, Qi Rui really did not think that his father was a good person. After personally participating in the war, Qi Rui understood how strong the negative emotions of human beings were. Since he did not think that the country's leaders were pure totems, Qi Rui would not so easily praise the country unconditionally.
However, this strange feeling only lasted for a moment, and Qi Rui felt that he was being too hypocritical. Whether Vézé was a good person or not, he had really pushed China forward. No matter how many unpleasant things were in reality, Qi Rui had to admit that China was becoming more and more righteous and free. If there was no freedom, were those individuals and families who came to North America to seek a better life and really live a better life just an illusion of Qi Rui?
A group of young people expressed their views, and Commander Zheng also said, "The Liberation Army is the Commander-In-Chief's Liberation Army. We will always follow the Commander-In-Chief to uphold justice and freedom. "
Hearing this, Qi Rui could not help but nod slightly. Even though his father, Vézé, was stained with the blood of China people, he had devoted his life to promoting progress. As long as his father, Vézé, was still alive, there was no need to worry that China would go backwards and degenerate. However, his father, Vézé, was, after all, a human being, and he would also die one day. Qi Rui suddenly felt a sense of fear. Would China stagnate when that time came?
"Commissar, what are you thinking about?" Ma Xiaoming asked. Among the group of young people who were becoming more and more passionate about justice, Qi Rui, who seemed to be thinking about something, was particularly different. Ma Xiaoming wanted to know what could make Qi Rui think so deeply.
Qi Rui came back to his senses, and he replied half-truthfully, "I'm thinking, we must not let the glory of our predecessors … be tarnished in our hands."
Ma Xiaoming did not know the relationship between Qi Rui and Vézé. After listening to this, he nodded vigorously, "Well said, we can't let the glory of our predecessors be tarnished in our hands. When everyone returns to Xinxiang, rest when it's time to rest. As soon as the rest time is over, we have to hurry up and prepare for war. This time, we have to hit the Americans hard. Let's kill them! "
"That's right! During the Civil War more than 20 years ago, the Americans were able to muster three to four million troops. This time, we should be able to muster five million. Kill all five million Americans, and they will no longer have the power to fight against us! "Qian Duoduo shouted loudly.
"Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive!" The belligerence of the soldiers came from the bottom of their hearts.
The first feeling that Qi Rui felt was that he was very touched, but he could not help but feel that something was not right. The soldiers who called themselves the defenders of freedom and justice were shouting to kill all five million of their enemies. This was supposed to be a completely opposite attitude, but it was actually a perfect fusion. Even people like Qi Rui, who did not really agree with the way they did things, did not have the slightest intention of refusing to participate in this terrible war.
With a sharp blade in hand, the desire to kill naturally arose. The reason why Qi Rui could have such a reflection was probably because he had been practicing with the spear with his father since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the uncontrollable impulse. If the greatest use of martial arts was to strengthen the body and restrain the desire to kill, after the human group mastered the latest war technology, the soldiers could not help but want to use this technology to kill to their heart's content.
