"I have to be patient, I have to be patient …" Qi Rui muttered as he lay in his tent. He did not feel bored or empty during the meeting during the day. Even if the situation was not good, he still worked hard. However, he felt terrible during the night break.
The work during the day was nothing. Qi Rui still felt that he had done his best and met the needs of the war. However, the speech during the day made Qi Rui feel very unhappy. The content of Zhou Xinhua's speech was very formalistic in Qi Rui's opinion, but it was clearly effective in boosting the morale of the commander. Even though the speech was just a blessing to Qi Rui, Qi Rui felt that it made him feel relaxed.
"Isn't the so-called propaganda to make people feel happy, and not to see the problem?" Qi Rui finally came to this conclusion that he found unacceptable. When Qi Rui's father, Vézé, came to the army for inspection, he ordered Qi Rui to do political work well. If political work was like this, Qi Rui was actually very disappointed.
However, since his father, Vézé, had given the order, Qi Rui believed that political work would have its effects, and it would certainly be no less than the effects of military technology. However, as for what this effect was, Qi Rui felt that he could not grasp it. Feeling uneasy, Qi Rui simply got up and went to look for the division commander, Zhou Xinhua. Learning from others had always been the path that Qi Rui had taken.
Zhou Xinhua was still awake. He did not say a word while listening to Qi Rui's question. After listening to this not too long question, he smiled and said, "Qi Rui, I'm not much older than you. The army has always needed to strengthen political work, but you know the situation in the army. There is actually a lot of debate about what political work is. For example, the political work that we agree with is the recent talk about state ownership of land. The commander-in-chief has given a strict order that absolutely cannot be shaken. Then we'll publicize these. "
Qi Rui agreed that political work should be a big deal, so he nodded. "Political work is indeed not mature yet, and I don't know what to do about it. But Commander Zhou, from what you said, I think it's political work. Although it's hard to explain, I think so. "
Looking at the worried expression on Qi Rui's face, Zhou Xinhua smiled, "What you said, ah. This is something I learned from my seniors. Other than the commander-in-chief, how could the elders understand politics back then? Everyone revolted because they wanted to eat their fill. Everyone dared to risk their lives and charged forward while facing the enemy's bullets. That was because everyone knew that if they didn't kill the enemy, they would die. Even if he died on the battlefield, his family would get a share of the land. Parents, wives, and children can all be taken care of. "
Speaking of this, Zhou Xinhua suddenly frowned, then replied thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, the state ownership of land is the foundation that can guarantee everyone's confidence. If the land was privately owned, who would believe that the state would give you land? If you put it this way, this is also politics. "
Although Qi Rui logically knew that Zhou Xinhua was right, he had never come into contact with what private ownership of land was like, so he didn't resonate with Zhou Xinhua's words. Seeing that Zhou Xinhua was diverting the topic, Qi Rui quickly reinforced his initial doubt, "Commander Zhou, the words you said to everyone about beating up dogs, I think it's also a political issue."
"That! Haha. " Zhou Xinhua laughed, "When I followed the elders in the past, everyone would be eager to try after learning new combat techniques, waiting to show off their skills. If we can make contributions, we will be promoted. That's what the old seniors said after seeing us. However, at that time, the elders encouraged us to do our best, and they also told us to be careful and take care of ourselves. In retrospect, I appreciate it very much. Now, let's each say half of it. I know what you said is right, but I still feel that I'm not as considerate as the elders. "
"Considerate …" Qi Rui suddenly felt that Zhou Xinhua's words connected with his thoughts. Qi Rui seemed to remember that about a few years ago, when he was discussing military affairs with his father, they talked about the concept of "fire hell." Hundreds of kilometers wide, dozens of kilometers deep, tens of thousands of square kilometers of battlefield covered by all kinds of cannons. Just imagining such a fire hell made Qi Rui's hair stand on end. After commanding the motorized infantry, Qi Rui had a better understanding of the horror of fire hell. The troops could direct heavy artillery to bombard at any time through telephone or telegraph, and the charging troops had to face all kinds of carefully arranged barbed wire fences, as well as the merciless attacks of machine guns. Qi Rui couldn't imagine any troops that could survive on such a battlefield.
Qi Rui's father, Vézé, said with certainty that not only could an army survive on such a terrifying battlefield, but such an army could also display outstanding combat effectiveness on such a battlefield, showing the pinnacle of human courage and wisdom. Since it was his father, Vézé, who said so, Qi Rui believed it. Qi Rui knew that if his father, Vézé, gave the order, the troops would enter such a bloody and fiery battlefield. This was because the soldiers believed that obeying the orders of the Military Governor Vaize would be of great benefit to the country, and as a member of the country, the soldiers would also be rewarded by this great benefit.
Thinking of this, Qi Rui felt that he had figured out the key point. He asked Zhou Xinhua excitedly, "I think if the troops don't think that we are considerate, they won't be willing to go to war."
"No, no, no!" Zhou Xinhua waved his hand. This made Qi Rui very confused.
"Whether considerate or not, the army is an organization that fights wars. Whether there are benefits or not, when the higher-ups order the troops to charge, the troops must charge. If they disobey, they will immediately be subject to battlefield discipline. I have carried out battlefield discipline. "After saying this, Zhou Xinhua's voice was very heavy.
Qi Rui didn't object to this view. No one had talked to him about this for a long time, and Zhou Xinhua's clear attitude made Qi Rui feel that his mood immediately calmed down.
"So far, everything that the Military Governor Vaize told everyone has been realized, and everything that the Military Governor Vaize didn't promise, such as abolishing the agricultural tax, has been realized. Now, the National People's Congress is still discussing the country's guaranteed retirement system. As long as you participate in the social security system, the country will give everyone food vouchers after retirement, and will not let anyone starve to death because of lack of food. Moreover, everyone will be given a pension according to the number of years and time that everyone has contributed to the social security system. I think this is a very good system. "Zhou Xinhua expressed his opinion. Qi Rui also couldn't help but nod slightly. He also thought that this was a very good system.
After praising the system implemented by Vézé with a sense of longing, Zhou Xinhua asked Qi Rui, "Do you think that after these systems are implemented, all the soldiers … oh, the commanders and soldiers will not have the slightest bit of fear when they attack the enemy? Will there be people who will be too stressed and slow down, or even afraid to attack? "
