Qi Rui did not expect that one day he could become an independent force from his father, Vézé. After reading the confidential notification sent to the members of the Military Commission of the Navy, Qi Rui wanted to think that receiving such a confidential notification meant that he was already an independent force from his father. Logically speaking, it was reasonable for the North American Political Commissar to have such a status, but Qi Rui had no confidence in himself.
Because of his lack of confidence, Qi Rui's first thought was to talk to his father about it. However, Qi Rui felt very disappointed when he thought about his father's rank and how he should have received the report. According to the system, these notifications should be conveyed to comrades within the rank, so Qi Rui read the notification to several senior soldiers in the theater of operations.
The first reaction of the senior soldiers in the North American Theater of Operations was, 'What does Yao Bang want to do?' However, Yao Bang was the president of the country, and the two presidents before Yao Bang had a deep relationship with the military. If Vézé and Shen Xin issued an order, everyone would carry it out even if they did not understand it. Such a pattern made everyone speechless for a while.
The senior soldiers were all decisive people. If they didn't understand something, they would ask for help. Qi Rui was undoubtedly the best person to ask. "Political Commissar Qi, I don't think diplomacy and our army are the same thing."
Qi Rui did not answer immediately because he found that there were two wishes in his heart at the same time. The first was naturally not to cause trouble.
Because he had given up the desire to develop elsewhere, many people thought that it would not be long before Qi Rui was promoted to general based on his qualifications and achievements. Once he was promoted to general, Qi Rui was likely to become a general in his lifetime. According to the military rank evaluation method, generals and marshals must have participated in wars with more than a million troops. To be promoted to general, one only needed to serve on the front line. The difference between marshals and generals was that generals would also retire when they reached the end of their life. Marshals and generals would retire to the second line, but they would never retire from active service. This was the country's respect for these outstanding servicemen, and it was also the privilege of these servicemen.
If he went against the president, Qi Rui's promotion would be greatly affected. His father, Vézé, would never allow a military government to exist. Qi Rui knew this very well and supported it.
Apart from this extremely beneficial and rational judgment, Qi Rui's dissatisfaction was equally intense. Of course, the president of the country could weigh the various interests and make a choice. However, the Restoration Party had inner-party democracy, and His Majesty the Emperor had always adhered to the system. How could a national president act on his own? Moreover, the current president was not the first or even the second president. According to the system, the President of the country was not even the Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission. Based on the system of the Military Commission, he still had to obey Qi Rui. If Yao Bang was allowed to continue doing such things, the system of the Liberation Army that had been in place for decades would probably be uprooted.
Comparing the two sides, Qi Rui found that he was more inclined to explain the matter clearly. "Diplomacy is diplomacy, national defense is national defense. They are both the work of the country, but they are not the same thing, "Qi Rui replied.
"Then why did Yao Bang do this? According to what the Navy said, it is not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that decides these things. Isn't diplomatic work the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' business? "Someone in the senior management of the theater asked very unhappily.
Qi Rui did not dare to answer for a moment. With his intelligence, he could naturally understand that one sentence could make his position clear, and this position would work. And Qi Rui himself was not ready to be involved in this matter. It was one thing to be unhappy with Yao Bang, but it was another thing to stand on the frontline of the struggle against Yao Bang.
"This matter … we …" Qi Rui was ready to make peace for the time being, or at least not make a decision. Never fight a battle unprepared. This was the golden rule that the soldiers of the Recovery Army held in high regard. An encounter battle and an unprepared battle were not the same thing at all. Just as Qi Rui was about to say this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. In a split second, he made a decision. "Let's organize a study meeting and study the Constitution made by His Majesty again. I remember there is something about the power of the president in the Constitution. "
The leaders of the theater of operations never expected Qi Rui to make such a suggestion. Everyone's first thought was that Qi Rui was too perfunctory. But someone then understood Qi Rui's idea. In fact, not only Qi Rui, but also Yao Bang was an outsider in the eyes of the military senior management. No matter what organization it was, they would not be happy to see an 'outsider' suddenly jump on the head of the organization and order people around. It seemed that Qi Rui had the same idea when he made such a suggestion.
Since the comrades in the organization had a common view, no matter how far they went, at least they were making preparations. "We'll start studying the Constitution again," Zhou Xinhua, the commander of the theater of operations, said. This group of high-ranking soldiers had good memories. Qi Rui's suggestion reminded everyone of the time when the Military Governor Of Vaize had ordered the entire party to study the Constitution. The importance that the Military Governor Of Vaize attached to the Constitution made everyone feel that this suggestion might be useful.
Premier Zi Yang was very busy with work. Even so, he still took a bus to the former Premier Wang Haiyang's home after work. After getting out of the car, Zi Yang took a box of tea prepared by his secretary and entered Wang Haiyang's home. Before the president began to hand over his position, the premier had already begun to implement the retirement system. Shen Xin, who had been on the same shift as Wang Haiyang, was the second president, while Wang Haiyang himself was the third premier. Before him were the uncle and nephew, Li Yuchang and Levis.
Now that the fourth premier had come to visit, Wang Haiyang at least welcomed him with a very calm attitude. He smiled as he accepted the gift. "Little Zi, why did you bring anything here?"
Zi Yang also smiled. "Old leader, this is just a token of my appreciation. I know that according to the rules, I'm afraid that bringing you some trinkets will cause you trouble. However, if I don't bring anything, I really feel apologetic. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. "
Wang Haiyang only smiled at Zi Yang's words. Those who could become the president had a strong background, whether it was Vézé or Shen Xin. The premier looked like a prime minister, but in reality, that was not the case. The uncle and nephew of the Li family were also heroes of the revolution. After bowing and stepping down, they still remained silent. Wang Haiyang didn't even need to mention taking a can of tea leaves. Even if the tea leaves were made of gold, it wouldn't violate the civil servant law. This was because Wang Haiyang was just a commoner at the moment.
After entering Wang Haiyang's new residence, the two of them sat down. Zi Yang told Wang Haiyang, who had just retired, about the recent major events. After explaining the general situation, there was the follow-up reaction. "Old leader, the comrades in the army are generally dissatisfied, and the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also very dissatisfied. When the Standing Committee was convened, I didn't even know what to say. "
Wang Haiyang didn't answer immediately. Nothing could be seen on his face, but his heart was churning. When Wang Haiyang was still in power, he was also a member of the Standing Committee. High-level news was sent to him one by one. Now that he had only retired for a few months, he would only be informed of national affairs when someone wanted to use Wang Haiyang. This was the taste of losing power. It was as if he had fallen directly from the omniscient and omniscient heavens to the mortal world.
"Old leader, what do you think will happen next? The commander-in-chief has been inspecting North America for a few months. It's almost October. Even if the commander-in-chief doesn't return, the provincial committees and governors of the provinces will come for a meeting. At that time, will this matter calm down? "Zi Yang continued to ask.
Wang Haiyang forced himself to think for a while before saying, "According to what you said, the ones who are unhappy are only the comrades in the army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The president is in charge of foreign affairs."
Zi Yang was immediately unhappy. It was true that the president was in charge of foreign affairs, but that was a general statement in the Constitution. According to the Constitution, the president could also appoint and dismiss the premier of the State Council. Yao Bang could appoint and dismiss Zi Yang at will. But in reality, it was impossible for Yao Bang to dismiss Premier Zi Yang as he pleased. Not to mention the premier, even a minister or a division chief could not be dismissed by Yao Bang with a single order. Even if there was an order to dismiss them, Yao Bang would at most be one of the participants, or even just a person in charge of signing documents. Therefore, Wang Haiyang's words were not sincere at all, which made the new premier, Zi Yang, very unhappy.
"Hey, hey! The president of the country has so much power. He's like an emperor. " In the study group of the North American Theater of Operations Command, a comrade could not help but sigh. "I say, even the commander-in-chief has never been so arrogant. Why did he give the president so much power? "
The Constitution stipulated that the president of the country had the power to promulgate laws, appoint and dismiss the premier, deputy premier, state councilors, ministers of various departments, directors of various committees, auditor general, and secretary-general, award national medals and honorary titles, issue special pardons, declare a state of emergency, declare a state of war, and issue mobilization orders. It was no wonder that some comrades sighed after reading it.
The theater commander, General Zhou Xinhua, immediately said unhappily, "You ate the first sentence. The president of the Min dynasty is based on the decision of the National People's Representative Council and the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Representative Council. Moreover, a large part of the power of the National People's Representative Council now belongs to the Restoration Party. How can the president himself have that much power? The real emperor has to be like the Military Governor Vaize. The National People's Representative Council passes a resolution to transfer the power of the country. Without the party, without the National People's Representative Council, the president is nothing. "
Listening to Zhou Xinhua's emotional words, Qi Rui quickly said, "If you have a gun, you're the king of the grass. What era is that? Let's distinguish between the order of the Constitution and reality. "
Qi Rui was in charge of party affairs and was the leader of the theater. After he expressed his stance, everyone immediately became obedient. After carefully studying the Constitution, after group discussions and statements, the theater commander, Zhou Xinhua, came to a consensus. 'The president of the country doesn't seem to be that great. His power seems to come from the National People's Representative Council, but in fact, the National People's Representative Council doesn't have that much actual power. This position … is of little value. '
After this question was put bluntly, everyone fell into a somewhat unbelievable situation. Judging from the history of the Restoration Party and the Min dynasty, even the Military Governor Vaize was not as arrogant as Yao Bang. However, this did not mean that the president of the country was such a powerless position. Whether it was President Vézé or President Shen Xin, they were both powerful and genuine national leaders.
In the silence, Qi Rui spoke, "The Liberation Army is the people's army. The Liberation Army is the armed force led by the Restoration Party. I've never heard of the Liberation Army being the national defense army, an army led by the government. It belongs to the people and is loyal to the people. As a party member, it is loyal to the party. The army is like this, and so is the president of the country. "
After saying this, the theater command temporarily maintained silence. After a while, Zhou Xinhua said, "The commander-in-chief has said this for decades. Now, it seems that the commander-in-chief has never lied to us. It's just that we didn't understand this before. "
As long as there were accurate ideas and entry points, it was easy for the theater leaders to integrate theory with reality. Indeed, the Military Governor Vaize did not lie to everyone. The Restoration Party had inner-party democracy, and the party led the party and governed the country.
"Can you think of it this way? This Yao Bang doesn't talk about inner-party democracy. If he was like the commander-in-chief, he would first discuss what he wanted to do with his comrades. If everyone agreed, there would be no problem for him to do this again. " The deputy commander-in-chief disliked Yao Bang from the beginning. At this moment, it seemed that he had found a way to oppose Yao Bang.
In Beijing, Zi Yang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and politely consulted Wang Haiyang. After Wang Haiyang steadily declined all the requests, Zi Yang said, "Old leader, I've always had an idea. If retired old comrades like you are idle at home, it would be a waste for the country. Could you set up a Central Advisory Committee and let the old comrades give some pointers on their respective professional work? I don't know if the old leader is interested in this. After all, there are quite a few old comrades who want to live out their remaining years in peace. Just like Director Wei Changrong, after he retired, he began to travel around … "
Wang Haiyang felt a little wary in his heart. The temptation in Zi Yang's words was too obvious. However, Wang Haiyang could not see his expression, but Zi Yang could. When Wang Haiyang heard that he would have the opportunity to touch power again, his entire body instantly glowed and his eyes shone brightly.
However, the old cunning fox wouldn't let such a small promise get to his head. When he saw the little fox stand up and leave after she finished speaking, the old cunning fox felt that he couldn't just let the little fox leave without getting anything in return. Wang Haiyang also stood up and walked slowly. As he sent Zi Yang to the door, he said slowly, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not under the control of the State Council. Even if it's a report, it's still the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' report. This matter has the Military Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the commander-in-chief. As far as I know, the commander-in-chief has a very low opinion of frivolous people. Do you think people who do such things are worthy of the word frivolous? "
Zi Yang smiled and nodded. On the way back, his eyes suddenly lit up. He clenched his fist and lightly pounded the car seat beside him. Zi Yang was full of praise for Wang Haiyang's ability. It was not suitable for Zi Yang to say anything about this matter, but he had to be skillful in doing so. 'Frivolous' could perfectly describe Yao Bang's performance. It was not excessive or lacking. As for whether it was this matter or this person who was frivolous, that was a question of the benevolent and the wise.
