The more Qi Rui looked on the train, the more excited he became. The more he looked, the more uneasy he became. After the emergence of motorized infantry, the Liberation Army generally believed that the army built with new ideas could easily crush the previous Liberation Army. Judging from the current design provided by Vézé, the army built with this armor theory in the future could easily crush the current Liberation Army.
If this set of armor theory could be established, what kind of equipment and war ideas would crush the current armored combat system in the distant future? Thinking of this, Qi Rui felt a little flustered. After some consideration, Qi Rui decided to put this confusion to the back of his mind. The feeling of discomfort disappeared when he arrived in Beijing.
Although it was a bit heartless, the main reason Qi Rui came to visit his father was because of his filial piety. He came to ask for help before attending the Military Commission meeting. With his father's help, Qi Rui straightforwardly brought out the idea of 'heavy equipment' proposed by his comrades in the North American theater of operations when discussing the military expenditure plan. He did not mention the new arrangements given by his father, Vézé.
"Political Commissar Qi, we heard that you went to see the commander-in-chief first. What does the commander-in-chief think about this? "The deputy chairman in charge of military orders asked.
"The commander-in-chief thinks it has merits." Qi Rui felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. The last time his father did this was during the North American War. His help allowed Qi Rui, who could only be regarded as outstanding, to rise to fame and status as the founder of the motorized infantry. At the age of forty, he became a general of the Liberation Army. If he succeeded this time, Qi Rui could probably become a general at the age of fifty. A general would never retire and would have a huge say in the Liberation Army. He might even become the actual leader of the Liberation Army.
Qi Rui's words did not cause any special reaction in the Military Commission. The motorized infantry showed strong combat effectiveness in the North American War, and most people in the Military Commission thought that the motorized infantry was enough. At the end of the war, there were some people in the Asian Theater of Operations who didn't manage to gain any military merits. These people placed their hopes on the modification of the trucks. Welding steel plates, or all kinds of inexplicable modifications or additions. He had spent a lot of money, but the actual effect was very mediocre. After tossing and turning for a while, everyone was tired. Once the Iron and Blood Policy ended and the Peace Policy was established, no one would be willing to spend any effort on it. When the Liberation Army changed from an offensive army to a defensive army, the existing equipment was sufficient. The army even privately thought that 2.4 million regular soldiers was a little too much …
What surprised Qi Rui even more was that Ziyang, who had finally become a member of the Military Commission, spoke after the Military Commission comrades had spoken. "The modernization of the army is a very important matter. His Majesty said that modernization requires investment. We need to invest more money in each soldier. If the North American Theater of Operations really wants to make a military breakthrough, reduce the number of troops from 900,000 to 600,000 in the next three years, and military spending can remain the same. These 300,000 troops will be divided into various theaters in Asia … "
Qi Rui's first reaction was that his dad, Vézé, and Ziyang had some kind of communication. According to the equipment provided by his dad, Vézé, the number of new army-level armored troops would be reduced from 60,000 to more than 30,000. The number of troops in the North American Theater of Operations would remain the same. After being armored, the number of troops would probably be reduced from 900,000 to 600,000.
But on second thought, Qi Rui was sure that this was obviously impossible. His dad, Vézé, would not be stupid enough to make public the fact that he had secretly given special treatment to others. This kind of thing could be done in private. Even if it was done in private, everyone had to get a share of the benefits. For example, when the motorized troops were established, hundreds of elites in the army got a share of the benefits. This group of people, plus the elites in the army, after the test of the war in North America, those who performed well became the backbone of the current Liberation Army. Qi Rui did not quite understand it before, but now he finally understood what kind of open and ingenious arrangement his dad, Vézé, had made at that time.
With that experience, Qi Rui became vigilant when it came to the outcome that was most beneficial to Qi Rui at the moment. When such a situation occurred within the army, it was more likely that it was a trap designed by someone.
After a not too intense discussion, Ziyang's proposal was passed. In the next five years, through the adjustment of conscription, the division designations of the North American troops remained the same, but the number of troops was reduced. At the same time, the North American Theater of Operations was entrusted with the work of upgrading the equipment. At the end of the meeting, Ziyang emphasized that "the entire Party and the army are now cracking down on duty-related crimes. I hope that Political Commissar Qi Rui can keep up with the situation, strengthen the fine traditions of the Liberation Army, and build a more effective people's army."
At the end of the meeting, the commander of the North American Theater of Operations, who came with him, pulled Qi Rui aside and said, "Political Commissar, there's a problem here!"
"Hmm …" Qi Rui just responded. At this time, as long as one was not a fool, they would understand that there must be a problem here. Glancing at the somewhat agitated expression on the commander's face, Qi Rui said calmly, "Don't worry so much. Let's do our job well first."
The commander was very surprised. Everyone thought that Qi Rui was very smart. Such a smart person actually chose to obey at this time. No matter how they looked at it, it did not seem right. He quickly reminded, "Political Commissar, could it be that someone set a trap for us to jump into?"
Qi Rui looked at the commander. Some people in the Military Commission might have made some judgments, but the commander's attitude made Qi Rui even more dissatisfied. "The Military Commission meeting was decided by the organization. Everyone has nothing better to do, so they want to target our North American Theater of Operations. Disarmament is not something that only exists today. Disarmament has been going on for more than a decade. The slogan of 1.6 million standing soldiers has been shouted for more than a decade. You don't have to have this attitude that there are always unruly people who want to harm me, okay? "
Being criticized by Qi Rui, the commander felt a burst of anger in his heart. To a large extent, this arrangement was suspected to target Qi Rui, but the commander was just too embarrassed to say it out loud. Since Qi Rui was so principled, the commander decided not to poke his nose into other people's business.
After "unifying their thinking" among the comrades from the North American Theater of Operations, Qi Rui quietly studied the special treatment given by his father, Vézé, while waiting for the convening of the Tripartite Conference in 1909.
The political philosophy of the Min dynasty clearly stated that "soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics," but the Min dynasty had military representatives in the National People's Congress. For this seemingly contradictory problem, the Min dynasty gave the explanation that "soldiers are ordinary laborers." This explanation made the world's intellectuals who really studied the politics of the Min dynasty dumbfounded. In all countries in the world, the most important duty of the army was to suppress the people. Therefore, all countries had to do everything possible to separate the army from the people.
In addition to this, the world's scholars who studied the politics of the Min dynasty generally believed that the National People's Congress of the Min dynasty was the best representative in the world. Because the National People's Congress of the Min dynasty was not responsible for making laws. Although in theory, the National People's Congress was the authority of the Min dynasty, in fact, the real power of the National People's Congress was responsible for listening to the interpretation of laws and regulations by various professional departments and government departments, and making decisions on whether to agree or not. When the laws and regulations began to be implemented, they were also responsible for monitoring the implementation. If the government did not implement it or there were problems in the implementation, the National People's Congress could file a recall request according to the power of the National People's Congress.
As a professional, Vézé had little confidence in the professional ability of non-professionals. It was precisely because he was a professional that Vézé did not have unrealistic fantasies about the patience and conscience of professionals. Therefore, many of the powers of the National People's Congress were adjusted, and finally became such a temporary measure.
First, as a member of the Military Committee of the Recovered Central Committee, he participated in the formulation of the 1910 annual military budget and the military development plan in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Then, as an ordinary worker, Qi Rui participated in the National People's Congress. The National People's Congress first listened to the Premier of the State Council's government work report, and then listened to the President's report on the future direction.
The chairman's report surprised Qi Rui. The state would allow the establishment of private enterprises, or even joint-stock enterprises, to intervene in industries that used to be completely state-owned enterprises. Qi Rui had long known that many places had such expectations. For example, in North America, agricultural service companies used to be state-owned, but now there were many privately formed agricultural service companies.
Because the North American theater of operations had once participated in the establishment of North American provinces, and many of the North American immigrants were retired soldiers, the Liberation Army had a wide network in North America. The evaluation of private agricultural service companies was mixed. Many people felt that the business ability of the private agricultural companies was not very good. Many people felt that the prices charged by the private agricultural companies were reasonable. Many people felt that the private agricultural companies only picked the profitable business and never participated in those jobs with high investment and high professional work.
With this foundation, Qi Rui listened very carefully, and then he was shocked. The plan proposed by Ziyang was still okay in theory. But in practice, not only would private enterprises be allowed to enter some industries, but the operating system of state-owned enterprises would also be changed. Of course, distribution according to work should be mentioned, and in the end, there was also a "discussion direction" of "distribution according to capital."
As Vézé's favorite eldest son, Qi Rui knew very well what "distribution according to capital" meant. His father, Vézé, had once told Qi Rui about this content. Regardless of what Ziyang said about "state-owned capital" distribution according to capital, Qi Rui's first thought was to take the bourgeois road.
