Political Commissar Qi Rui was lying in bed. The autumn in the mountains was not warm, so Qi Rui wrapped the military blanket tighter around his body. It was almost 11 o 'clock in the morning, but he still couldn't sleep. Zhou Xinhua's words seemed to be echoing in his ears, "Qi Rui, you have the ability to work, solid basic military skills, enough imagination in battle, and enough determination. I think you don't lack the courage and decisiveness to go to the front line. In addition, you have sufficient ambition for fame and career. I think you are a very outstanding soldier. If I'm not wrong, you follow your father's example. I think this is the difference between you and your father. You want to be like your father. But your father just wants to be himself. "
Qi Rui had heard this kind of profound theory many times, so Zhou Xinhua's words didn't make Qi Rui feel that it was shocking. What shocked Qi Rui was Zhou Xinhua's opinion of Qi Rui. The words' You want to be like your father, but your father just wants to be himself. Your father is just being himself. 'This made Qi Rui feel as if he was enlightened by the sound of a great bell.
In Qi Rui's eyes, his father Vézé was a very special existence. Qi Rui first respected his father, but his father and his superior had always been hated by men. Qi Rui was undoubtedly a normal person. Facing a father who seemed to be always right, Qi Rui also had a strong feeling of oppression and resistance.
In Qi Rui's eyes, his father Vézé said a lot of right things and did a lot of right things, but he himself was not the right person. If he didn't say the right things and do the right things, his father Vézé was impatient, cold, mean, and arrogant. Qi Rui felt that he really couldn't reach the realm of his father Vézé.
Just as he was thinking about his father's shortcomings, Qi Rui suddenly realized that he was going in the wrong direction. The real meaning of Zhou Xinhua's reminder was not what kind of person Vézé was, but that he wanted Qi Rui to be himself. With that in mind, Qi Rui realized that this was the most difficult part. No matter how he picked on his father Vézé, Qi Rui always knew where he got his knowledge from.
"I've always heard that it's not easy to find yourself. Now that I look at it, it's indeed not easy." Qi Rui could not help but sigh. After understanding this, Qi Rui suddenly felt sleepy. He relaxed and fell asleep in an instant.
Qi Rui woke up before dawn. The work of the field army was actually very planned. The reason why the General Staff Department wanted to give up on the battle plan was that the troops had to plan everything, including eating, marching, and resting. They also had to accept that the plan could not keep up with the changing reality, and work hard to compromise and fight against reality.
Therefore, the headquarters was a more relaxed existence on the surface. The commanders at all levels only needed to make judgments and wait for the results. As the political commissar and the chief officer of the army training, Qi Rui made a document with yesterday's idea of 'motorized infantry is only a means of war, don't completely rigidly fight according to motorized infantry'. He discussed it with the comrades of the military academy and the combat training department. Everyone agreed with this idea, and after making some changes to the document, it was distributed.
After it was distributed, Qi Rui suddenly felt something and asked his comrades to stay. Qi Rui said, "Comrades, according to the current situation, the war in North America will be over in about a year or two. The vast land we have conquered will belong to China. The central government has emphasized that the system must adhere to the state ownership of land. I want to ask you what you don't understand about this system. If you don't have any particular questions, I'm going to hold a training class after meeting with the other troops to strengthen the content in this area. "
"Political commissar, does the commander-in-chief have any special requirements?" A comrade asked Qi Rui with a strange expression.
Qi Rui was very unhappy. He tried his best to reply in a calm tone, "When the commander-in-chief came for inspection, he already told the troops that our troops have been training and fighting. There is no special content in the political department, so we don't have in-depth knowledge in this area. At this point in the war, the provinces on the West Coast have begun to redistribute land. Since the troops will stay in North America after being organized into the reserves, I think it is also necessary to let everyone understand these policies. "
After hearing this request, the meeting was a little awkward for a while. Seeing that no one objected, Qi Rui recorded the matter in the work memo of the party organization. After recording it, he continued, "According to the regulations, the combat experience of the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division will be reported to the theater of operations after the end of the battle. I have already reported to the theater of operations, and I hope that the two divisions can send people to us for exchange. If everyone has any questions, you can also make preparations. However, we have our own combat environment, and the specific problems can be analyzed in detail. There is probably no hope of advancing as fast as the Fourth Division on the plains. "
"Political commissar, we discussed the battle in the hilly area last time. Should we emphasize it to the troops again?" A military academy personnel following the army could not help but ask.
As soon as these words came out, Qi Rui felt some regret in his heart. At that time, he had only been thinking about this matter. He did not expect that a portion of the military academy personnel would think of using this opportunity to come up with a plan for the battle in the hills. Qi Rui felt that this method was really ridiculous. The motorized infantry had never had any special experience in fighting in the hills. The mountains in the Great Lakes area were not high, but that place could not be considered as a hilly area. There were already comrades from the combat troops who had privately raised their opinions to Qi Rui about this method of occupying the manger first. Now, those comrades from the combat troops looked at the military academy personnel with displeased expressions, and they also looked at Qi Rui silently.
Before leaving, Qi Rui said, "Find comrades who are familiar with the hills and compare the similarities and differences between our traditional hills and the terrain of Texas. For the motorized infantry in the hilly area, it is not too late to start the project after accumulating combat experience. "
After hearing this, the expressions of the comrades from the combat troops immediately relaxed considerably, while the military academy personnel mostly showed expressions of disappointment. Qi Rui did not want to continue this topic. Just as he was about to discuss the third topic, Instructor Lu from the military academy could not help but say, "Is it fine to start this project now? I think that the comrades from the military academy and the military can each have half of the personnel. This is also quite good. "
Qi Rui was instantly displeased. He frowned and began to speak, "Right now, we need to increase everyone's experience in fighting in the hilly area. There are basically no examples of motorized infantry fighting in the hilly area. It is too early to start this subject now. "
"I think Political Commissar Qi is right. The wild geese have not been killed yet. It is too early to discuss whether to roast or roast them. "The comrades from the military immediately expressed their support for Qi Rui.
Even though there was so much opposition, Instructor Lu only looked away and did not show any signs of giving up. This made Qi Rui even more unhappy. He could understand that these comrades from the military academy wanted to take credit and take control of the situation. However, Qi Rui had no intention of letting this plan succeed.
"Now, let's discuss the next topic. The troops should prepare to pursue the enemy in the plains … "Qi Rui forcefully started the next topic.
After the meeting ended, Qi Rui felt very tired. Work was so tedious that it was easy to get tired. When he left the conference room and headed to the canteen, Instructor Lu was waiting for Qi Rui at the corner. When he saw Qi Rui, he immediately came up and asked to speak with Qi Rui.
"Speak." Qi Rui saw that this guy was very determined, so he could only listen to him.
"Political Commissar, the military academy has no intention of taking credit. Don't you think that the combat troops are actually very wary of us? "Instructor Lu was very emotional.
Qi Rui was instantly angered. He frowned and criticized, "Instructor Lu, what we need to do now is to strengthen the combat department and let everyone have a better grasp of combat skills. Are you trying to break the unity by being so insistent? "
"Political Commissar Qi. You're accusing me! I really didn't mean that. "Under Qi Rui's criticism, Instructor Lu's expression was very aggrieved.
"If you didn't mean that, then why did you keep saying bad things about the combat troops?" Qi Rui continued to ask.
"Because … because …" Instructor Lu was speechless for a moment. However, not long after, Instructor Lu said, "Political Commissar Qi, go and ask the comrades from the combat troops if they are willing to immediately share their combat data with us. Then you will know if they are preparing to start their own business."
"What a joke!" For a moment, Qi Rui was so angry that he laughed. "The combat data and combat arrangements can only be considered after the combat discussion. Should we hand them over to the other departments? Even if there are no problems in the combat, these data can't be taken out before the combat discussions. That will cause comparisons. If there are problems in the combat, these data can't be taken out even more. That would only lead to more trouble and problems. Don't you even understand these basic discussions? "
Even though he was directly criticized by Qi Rui with facts, Instructor Lu still had no intention of giving up. His attitude was just not as firm as before, but he still emphasized to Qi Rui, "Political Commissar Qi, I heard that the comrades from the combat troops are preparing to intercept this data first. They are waiting for them to come up with their own concept of fighting in the hills before giving it to the military academy. This shouldn't be fake. "
This time, Qi Rui didn't say anything. If Instructor Lu had said this from the start, Qi Rui might not have believed him, but he felt that this explanation was more reasonable. Not wanting to compete with the combat troops didn't mean that he didn't understand that the combat troops were planning to take all the credit for themselves.
"Instructor Lu, from now on, I request that you don't say anything about this matter. When we start the research, we will naturally put forward our own requests. But before that, all discussions are useless! I request that you don't discuss these issues anymore, "said Qi Rui with a straight face.
Seeing that he couldn't change Qi Rui's mind, Instructor Lu could only reply, "Okay."
Qi Rui wanted to put this issue aside, but he suddenly remembered something. During the discussion today, Qi Rui first discussed the issue of future benefits, especially the issue of state ownership of land to protect the benefits of retired personnel. Only a few people agreed, and the majority of people didn't seem to care.
As for the direction of the research topic, everyone was fighting intensely for the sake of benefits. Did Qi Rui's words provoke this group of people about the future benefits, or did these people already prepare to fight in this area? Qi Rui thought for a moment and felt that these people were probably prepared. If they weren't prepared, how could Instructor Lu be so sure that the combat department was prepared to take all the results for themselves?
Thinking back to his time in the 24th Division, although Qi Rui was super busy, he didn't have that many things to worry about. From the headquarters to the frontlines, the troops fought bravely, and all departments worked hard without complaint. Whenever there was a problem, the first priority was to solve the problem. Was this really the so-called "it's easy to share hardships, but difficult to share riches"?
In the afternoon, the headquarters received a telegram from the theater. The content of the telegram was that the 4th Division hoped to meet up with the 6th Division in Oklahoma City, or at least part of it.
This request immediately caused a discussion in the 6th Division. The head of the logistics department frowned and suggested, "Could it be that the 4th Division doesn't have enough supplies, so they want to borrow some supplies after the rendezvous?"
The first thing Qi Rui wanted to do after hearing this was to call it "smart," but the next second, Qi Rui had the urge to agree. The 4th Division's logistics transportation was to first transport supplies from the West Coast to the Great Lakes region, then from the Great Lakes region south from the northern United States to the Gulf of Mexico. At this time, the 4th Division's frontline troops were engaged in a fierce battle near the city of New Orleans. Just thinking about it showed how much pressure the 4th Division's logistics were under.
If it was in the past, Qi Rui would have let it go. But now, Qi Rui suddenly felt that he really couldn't turn a blind eye to such an attitude. From the perspective of the political commissar of the 6th Division, he had to look at the problem from the perspective of the 6th Division's interests. If the 4th Division was only a supporting role in the entire North American War, the 4th Division and the 5th Division would be the ones fighting fiercely, while the 6th Division would have to travel thousands of kilometers with great difficulty to destroy the enemy and control the communication lines. That would only be the supporting role of the 4th Division and the 5th Division.
However, Qi Rui realized that he didn't just want to be a regiment-level commander. He always wanted to look at the problem from the highest point of view like his father, Vézé. If he looked at it from the perspective of the Liberation Army as a whole, this kind of localism seemed very inappropriate, and even had to be criticized and opposed.
With this thought in mind, Qi Rui chose to keep his mouth shut for now. In the military academy system, Qi Rui was the overall person in charge, and all the instructors in the military academy had to obey Qi Rui's orders. No one had the ability and prestige to challenge Qi Rui's actions. Qi Rui could ask Instructor Lu to shut up and not talk nonsense in that regard.
In the division headquarters, there were many people who could wrestle with Qi Rui. Because of his experience in various positions, Qi Rui knew what kind of power each department had. Although the role of the political commissar had always been emphasized in the Liberation Army, the political commissar must be very good at fighting, even better than the commander. This was the reason why the position of political commissar could be maintained. If the political commissar was only a military supervisor, this position would probably have been removed long ago.
Qi Rui was sure that he was very good at fighting, but he didn't dare to be sure that he could take on the position of commander and chief of staff.
The head of the logistics department was worried that the reason the 4th Division proposed to join forces was to get something. This reason made the other commanders not oppose it. Indeed, the meaning of joining forces was that both sides could fight together, and not like now where each division fought in their own direction and field. The 4th Division proposed this request first, of course, because the 6th Division and the 4th Division were close to each other, and there was a possibility of fighting together. The 4th Division probably couldn't get a share of the 6th Division's merits, so it was quite suitable for them to get some of the 6th Division's resources.
Therefore, no one had any special opinion on this matter. The commander of the division, Zhou Xinhua, didn't even mention this question. He only asked, "Is there a need for us to join forces now?"
Qi Rui's eyes lit up. He felt that Zhou Xinhua's question was really good. If the commanders of the 6th Division felt that there was a need to join forces, or at least a majority of the commanders felt that there was a need to join forces, then the meeting would naturally be arranged on the agenda. If everyone felt that there was no need to join forces, the division would naturally have a good reason to not support the meeting. Then it would be whether the theater command would force the 6th Division to send troops to join forces.
After becoming a political commissar, Qi Rui also crammed the knowledge of the political department. The political department's theory was to unite the masses. Although Zhou Xinhua was not a political commissar, the method of uniting the majority was very reasonable. After uniting the majority of the 6th Division, many problems could be easily solved.
There were indeed some commanders who supported the meeting. For example, 'Completely open the railway line and completely drive away the Americans from both sides of the railway. This is always good for our battle. '
However, there were also objections. 'We have completely driven away the Americans in our division from both sides of the railway. Not to mention the problem of personnel transportation, our own troops alone are not enough to maintain this line of communication. There are still hundreds of kilometers between the railway under our control and the railway under the control of the 4th Division. As long as we don't change the main direction, we will always not have enough troops. '
Commander Zhou Xinhua constantly let those commanders who did not speak speak. If the people who spoke were vague, Zhou Xinhua would use the guidance mode to let these people clearly express their support or opposition. He would never let these people maintain a 'detached position.'
After a series of leading speeches, Qi Rui found that the commanders in the command command had actually come up with a general range of positions. Those who thought that the railway line was more difficult to deal with were opposed. Those who thought that it was easier to deal with the railway line were supportive. As for those who did not have any thoughts about the war credit, they were basically opposed. Everyone seemed to think that it was better to have less trouble.
Qi Rui was very impressed with Zhou Xinhua's approach. He was now sure that he could see through this approach, but he knew that before he saw it with his own eyes, he would not be able to think of such an approach no matter what. These senior alumni were really much more experienced than Qi Rui.
