To the surprise of most people, the Military Governor Of Vaize did not criticize Yao Bang, and did not even mention Yao Bang. In theory, the three meetings did not necessarily require the participation of the Military Governor Of Vaize. When Shen Xin was the president and the general secretary, there had been two cases of the three meetings completely led by the president and the general secretary, so the meeting continued.
Ever since Yao Bang hit an iron plate, he immediately became obedient and obedient. A guy who could be recognized by a group of Central Committee members was naturally not bad, and the work of the whole Central Committee was running well. After all, the system of the Min dynasty had been established, and Yao Bang did not have to rack his brains like Vézé, who had to think of ways to deal with problems from all sides by himself.
There were still many people who did not want to cause trouble. Those who were very dissatisfied with Yao Bang only complained. The Military Governor Of Vaize listened to all the dissatisfied remarks, but did not make any comments. No matter how dissatisfied the dissatisfied comrades were, the Military Governor Of Vaize did not say anything, and they did not have the courage to convene the Central Committee to ask for the dismissal of Yao Bang. The three meetings went on like this. When the three meetings were over, people went back to work, and the matter was quietly dropped.
Just after the three meetings, Vézé's wife, Qi Hongyi, fell ill. At first, she had a common cold, and then it developed into pneumonia, and she had not been well. Western medicine could only treat it from the perspective of bacterial infection. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, Qi Hongyi was not used to the dry weather in the north, and her internal dryness was too strong. It was suggested that Qi Hongyi should return to the warm and humid Nanjing.
Qi Hongyi herself also hoped to return to Nanjing. Her favorite eldest son was far away in North America. Although he was in a high position, she did not expect him to be filial in front of her. Her two remaining children were in the south. Her son, Wei Li, was an attending physician of internal medicine in Nanjing People's Hospital. His daughter, Wei Xue, was teaching in the Department of Mathematics at Nanjing University. She was married and had a child. Vézé was sure that Qi Hongyi really wanted to go back to Nanjing, so he personally escorted Qi Hongyi back to Nanjing. By the time Vézé returned to Beijing, it was already April, and everything about Yao Bang had been settled.
After confirming the situation, Vézé gathered the five current members of the Standing Committee and several other old comrades. This was an extremely high-class meeting with a high degree of confidentiality. After making sure that no one would eavesdrop on them, Vézé went straight to the point. "We've already said that we'll be selecting candidates across worlds. As for the candidates for the next term, I hope that you can come up with a standard based on your current experience."
Shen Xin was stunned. He had always thought that Vézé's way of keeping the peace was because he was satisfied with Yao Bang. He did not expect that Vézé would go straight to the next round. Generally speaking, the chairman served two terms. If he only served one term, it meant that everyone had a problem with the chairman. At least the Military Governor Vaize had a problem with the chairman.
Even though he thought that this view was correct, Shen Xin still asked, "Commander-in-chief, do you disagree with Comrade Yao Bang?"
"Whether I agree with him or not, at least it's not to the point where I have to immediately convene the Central Committee to dismiss him, right?" Vézé leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and said very calmly.
This surprised Shen Xin. Before Shen Xin could continue asking, Vézé said, "Things have to be prioritized. Wei Ze said, "You have to prioritize things. In times of war, it's not appropriate to immediately dismiss someone if there's a problem."
This time, Shen Xin did not say anything. After retiring from the position of chairman for more than a year, Shen Xin also began to slowly reflect on his own experience. When he was chairman, comrades had more than once said similar things to what Vézé was saying. At that time, Shen Xin felt that the cadres were too delicate. Now, Shen Xin was beginning to feel that there was indeed room for discussion in his approach.
Vézé continued, "But we have to learn from experience. I think that since the Central Committee has made a decision, the Party members have to abide by it. Of course, I think that Comrade Yao Bang's view may be the same as that of many comrades. They feel that they have to make contributions to prove themselves. I think that these comrades probably haven't kept up with the development of the times. In this era, it's probably more difficult to complete the work. "
Originally, Shen Xin was still a little unhappy. After listening to Vézé's words, he immediately felt that Vézé had pointed out the problem. He nodded heavily and was about to speak when he heard the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee say loudly, "That's right. Nowadays, young people always think that if they want to be recognized, they have to do big things. Our Political and Legal Committee has repeatedly taught them that it's not like they can solve a few big cases. From then on, they can lie on the merit book and sleep. Work is a lifetime thing. It's harder than death to finish the work every day. First, we are not afraid of hardship, and second, we are not afraid of death. Being afraid of hardship is the first thing we have to overcome. But young comrades … Sigh! "
It could be seen that the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee had a fishbone stuck in his throat. Now that he could finally vent his emotions, he felt a sense of relief.
"That's right. It's so cool to lie on the merit book. If he contributed once, he would be freed from daily labor in the future. You can always occupy the commanding heights and be a great good person. At the same time, you can judge others condescendingly. "There were also people in the Standing Committee who were in their early 50s, so their words were quite sharp.
The comrades selected by Vézé were not only sharp, but also had calm personalities. "From this point of view, what about moral considerations? Commander-in-chief, you've been fighting with the pan-moralists in the party for a long time. "
"That's not pan-moralists. They're a bunch of lazy people." Vézé's voice was very cold. People who were familiar with Vézé knew that this was his unique tone when he was really angry. "Anyone who magnifies is a person who can't solve the problem. In order to cover up their incompetence, they try to drag everyone down with them. Morality has its class, especially with the times. Different productivity means different morality. The Min dynasty is an industrialized country, so it naturally has its own morality. From this point of view, Comrade Yao Bang is not lacking in this aspect. "
Hearing this, the corners of Shen Xin's mouth slightly raised, revealing a trace of a bitter smile. Morality in an industrialized society was not just for the party. Military Governor Vaize had always talked about it in Vézé's Weekend Talk. In the agricultural era, there were no more than a hundred days of real farm work a year. Limited by the lighting in the countryside, the busiest time was only eleven or twelve hours a day. There were indeed people in the countryside who worked non-stop every day. There were also many people who often slept until noon during the slack season. When the food supply was insufficient, people in the countryside even deliberately did not get up to reduce calorie consumption.
It was different in an industrialized country, especially in the cities. There were many people who wanted to sleep in six days a week, but very few people could sleep in. Although the efficiency of work was questionable, people were basically busy from six in the morning to eight in the evening, fourteen hours in a row.
As Vézé said, morality had its class, but also with the times. The Min dynasty in the industrial era and the Min dynasty in the agricultural era had their own morality very different, even incompatible like fire and water. Shen Xin hated Yao Bang, but Yao Bang himself also got up early every day, went to bed late every day, and went out to visit on holidays. From this point of view, he abided by the morality in this aspect.
Just as Shen Xin was thinking about this, he heard Vézé say: "Everyone write down the selection criteria that you agree with, and we can discuss this in this aspect. In general, don't ask for perfection, and don't try to choose a saint. It's fine as long as it conforms to the basic principles and the characteristics of the times. "
The secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was now recording something in his notebook, and then asked: "If that's the case, should the recommended candidate be clearly written down?"
"What do you mean?" Vézé asked.
The secretary of the Political and Legal Committee answered frankly: "I think very highly of a young comrade. He really abhors evil, and is very principled. Although it is unlikely that he will be elected as the chairman, if I don't recommend such a comrade, I will always feel that I have neglected my duty. "
Vézé glanced at the Organization Minister. Ordinary recommendations, of course, must be decided by the Organization Minister, otherwise the selection of the chairman candidate would become another kind of fast track. But at this time, Vézé didn't want to say too much, everything was based on the broad view of the enemy. In the end, Vézé just nodded, and didn't make any comments.
Looking at the secretary's straightforward attitude, Shen Xin admired him very much. If the secretary strongly recommended someone, then he would have to bear political responsibility. If something happened to the person he recommended, the secretary would not be able to escape. Facing such a problem, the secretary was indeed unusual, and was still so straightforward.
These things were carried out in a very confidential situation, and it took several months to determine some selection conditions. These conditions were handed over to the Organization Minister to make the relevant details based on the accumulated experience of the Organization Minister. At this point, Vézé couldn't completely believe that the information would not be leaked. But the selection conditions were finally made public, and even the reasons inside had to be clearly written like a judicial explanation, so he didn't care.
At this time, the news from the Bank of Europe slightly diverted Vézé's attention. Germany passed the 20-year ship-building plan in 1895, and since last year, the German shipyard construction suddenly changed. The Bank of Europe found that all the shipyards under construction were still completed, and the shipyards that were ready to start were all suspended. As a result, more than a dozen companies that had business dealings with the Bank of Europe had financial problems.
By July 1903, the German shipyard construction quickly resumed, and the size of the new shipyards was much larger than before. At least five of these shipyards were built to build warships of about 30,000 tons. In addition, the Bank of Europe obtained some photos collected by the French spy network, and several of them were photos of a 5,000 ton German warship. Even if the analysts of the Bank of Europe were not naval experts, the warship in this photo had a very strong "Min dynasty lineage."
Since Yao Bang had no future, Vézé didn't want to pursue it too much, so there was nothing to discuss at this time. Finally, Vézé told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact Germany, hoping to visit Germany's new warship. What did the Germans build? The Min dynasty might as well make a generous request. If the Germans hid it, they could cut off future cooperation in this area.
