"Your Highness Qi Rui, we, the UK, hope to import water tanks from your country. The kind you sold to Hungary. "The British Minister of War personally came, and his tone was quite polite." Including the production patent. "
Qi Rui had never been willing to boost others' prestige and diminish his own spirit. After he finished talking with the UK, he couldn't help but say to Ma Xiaoming, 'The old industrial countries really deserve their reputation. Look at the UK, the Min dynasty's own patent awareness is very weak. The so-called ancestral secret recipe is full of feudal thinking. '
Ma Xiaoming was also quite emotional about this. The people of the Min dynasty already knew that the characteristic of the industrial society was to obtain their own development opportunities through social transactions. However, on the practical level of implementation, the UK and the European industrial countries were really much better than the Min dynasty. Perhaps it was because the Min dynasty was much stronger than Europe, so Ma Xiaoming could calmly listen to Qi Rui's sigh, and then from the bottom of his heart praised, 'That's true. We really need to learn from Europe. '
Praising was praising, but there were major problems to really implement. The first was the problem of how to divide the patent. An armored vehicle had hundreds of parts, plus the process and related equipment, there were probably more than hundreds of areas that could be patented. In particular, whether the torque suspension system could be patented or not. Even if Qi Rui himself took his father Vézé's patented design as his own, he was a political commissar of the North American Theater of Operations and a general of the Liberation Army. What kind of problems would it cause if he personally applied for a patent? But if these things were not patented, then the British would not be able to get the armored vehicle. This was another kind of loss.
Both Qi Rui and Ma Xiaoming thought they were already relatively capable people. Faced with such a seemingly simple problem, they both found that things had become so troublesome. This was not a simple patent problem, but a system problem.
"I didn't understand what a capitalist system is until now. The whole system exists for capital operation. The state is a tool of class rule, and the law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class. I started learning from junior high school, and only realized that this is the truth after decades. "Ma Xiaoming sighed.
Qi Rui, on the other hand, was not as emotional because his father, Vézé, had already explained this to Qi Rui. What made Qi Rui suspicious was that his father, Vézé, was a smart man. Why didn't he take the initiative to solve this problem when he knew that there was such a problem with the system? Would anyone dare to stop Vézé?
Just as the two of them were lamenting over this matter, the secretary came with a document. There was a confidential label on it, so Ma Xiaoming took the opportunity to leave. Ma Xiaoming was greatly agitated by this incident. Ma Xiaoming was naturally unhappy when he saw how unreasonable the country was. When he returned to his office, Ma Xiaoming also received a confidential document. He opened it and flipped through the first page. Immediately, he jumped up as if he had been electrocuted. After closing the door, Ma Xiaoming suppressed his intense emotions and continued to read the documents.
The incident at Nanjing Military Academy had no impact on the outside because the Military Commission that learned of the incident immediately blocked the news. The lower levels could be blocked, but there was no way to block the inside of the Military Commission. Most importantly, some people felt that this matter needed to be investigated. Therefore, what Ma Xiaoming saw was a serious handling of this matter. The dean of the Nanjing Military Academy was suspended and expelled from the party at the same time. The other people who "agreed" were all given major demerits within the party without exception.
The Restoration Party membership was an extremely important matter. This was a sign of whether one would be placed in an important position. From the perspective of the interests of the party, if one was not in the same party, they were not on the same path. Losing the party membership meant losing the future. A major demerit within the party basically meant losing the future. At the same time, the future of so many soldiers from colonel to lieutenant general was turned into ashes. Ma Xiaoming only felt a chill down his back.
After reading it once, Ma Xiaoming used great restraint to force himself to read the document again to make sure that he did not misunderstand the basic content. He put the document on the table weakly and felt weak. If he didn't have such a heavy punishment, Ma Xiaoming actually wanted to yell at these idiots. Who did they think they were? They didn't understand the need to obey the party's leadership. But Ma Xiaoming felt that it was a bit excessive to have their future destroyed for such a reason.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoming finally felt that he still had to talk to Qi Rui about this matter. Ma Xiaoming had also seriously considered destroying people's future. Ma Xiaoming felt that it was necessary to clean up the people in the army who wanted to get a high position by waging war. He also tested Qi Rui. Now there was an opportunity in this crisis, at least an opportunity to reach more consensus with Qi Rui.
Without waiting for Ma Xiaoming to act, Qi Rui called first. A few minutes later, Qi Rui sat across from Ma Xiaoming and asked, "You are familiar with the political commissar of the Nanjing Military Academy, right?"
"You also saw the news?" Ma Xiaoming confirmed first.
Qi Rui nodded, "Yes. So I think something is not quite right. I don't think that if someone is stupid, they will be punished so severely. If this is the case, then I have to come out and oppose it. They are smearing my father's face by doing this. But I don't think that Nanjing really dares to do anything. There must be something that is not clear. "
"You … think so …" Ma Xiaoming felt that he couldn't help but admire Qi Rui. Generally speaking, concern leads to chaos. At this time, Qi Rui was very concerned about things related to his father, so he was quite rational.
"Of course I think so. My father hates the crime of 'great disrespect' the most. It will be difficult to clean up the situation. "Qi Rui answered very seriously.
Ma Xiaoming felt that he understood Qi Rui, so he knew that Qi Rui wasn't a prince. If he was a normal person, of course, he wouldn't like this kind of chaos. Ma Xiaoming nodded, "That's good. I will contact him now. "
At this time in Beijing, the news that the Nanjing Military Academy's director was fired for being disrespectful to His Majesty Vézé had spread in the officialdom. The officials who learned of this were somewhat puzzled, but some felt that they understood a lot. Zi Yang's secretary told the news to Chairman Zi Yang. Although Chairman Zi Yang was also a member of the Central Military Commission, he was only a member. In addition, he had been busy with work recently and was under a lot of pressure. Zi Yang didn't have the energy to care about so many things.
After listening to the secretary's nervous report, Zi Yang's face was calm. He asked coldly, "And then?"
"Chairman, I think that someone wants to ask His Majesty to come out of retirement," the secretary replied nervously.
"Ask … His … Majesty … To … Come … Out." Zi Yang repeated these words word by word and then fell into silence.
Seeing that Zi Yang finally felt the seriousness of the matter, the secretary hurriedly said, "Chairman. His Majesty has retired to the second line, but he has no intention of relinquishing power. But at the beginning, no one thought too much about it. Since His Majesty doesn't have a government office, you are naturally in power. But this time, someone wants to harm you, so they are trying to urge His Majesty to come out of retirement. Chairman … You have to be careful. "
After a moment of silence, Zi Yang said, "Do you think this isn't His Majesty's intention?"
"I don't think so. If His Majesty wants to make a move, why would he do this? If he directly comes out as the chairman of the party, who do you think can stop him? "The secretary hurriedly explained.
There were indeed people in the upper echelons of the Min dynasty who wanted to ignore Vézé's power, but no one dared to overestimate themselves and come out to oppose Vézé. Zi Yang himself could understand why the headmaster was dismissed, because Zi Yang had never thought of fighting with Vézé. If there was, it would be Vézé who came back to ask how to deal with it. The headmaster's statement that he didn't want to get involved in the conflict wasn't to protect himself, but to intensify the conflict. Zi Yang was actually very happy to have this bastard removed from his position and expelled from the party.
After a little thought, Zi Yang replied, "I'm not worried that His Majesty will make a move. In this situation, if His Majesty makes a move, he will definitely be able to solve the problem. I also hope that His Majesty can make a move quickly. So don't say anything, don't let others misunderstand. "
"Yes." The secretary cleverly obeyed.
A few days later, in Nanjing. Qi Hongyi picked up a glass of North American ice wine and took a sip, then asked unhappily, "According to what you said, Zi Yang is going to make peace and take responsibility himself?"
The old lady opposite shook her head. "He probably can make peace, but he probably won't take responsibility himself."
"Then tell his subordinates, especially the people in the State Council and the Ministry, that they have worked hard to save so many direct enterprises, and now it's time to pay back the debt. Ziyang decided to sell them off in order to keep his position. As for those people, they can take care of themselves. Hmph! "In the end, Qi Hongyi couldn't help but sneer.
As a professor in the Department of History, Qi Hongyi believed in 'the rise and fall of chaos'. In the history of China, all kinds of flourishing periods were ended by the Great Chaos. Their prosperity was abrupt, and their demise was sudden. The most famous example was the Qin Dynasty. Vézé established the legal system and created the State of Qin, a country ruled by law. Moreover, Vézé was lucky. When the railway was being built in Hubei, they dug up an ancient tomb of the Qin Dynasty, where a small official of the State of Qin was buried with a large number of Qin bamboo slips. This made the laws of the Qin Dynasty appear in front of the world two thousand years later. The complete laws and implementation standards had indeed shocked the world of history and the judiciary.
This made Qi Hongyi more confident in his own view. As the leader of the revolution, Vézé could be like Qin Shi Huang, using his own ability to promote a change that had not been seen in three thousand years in China. However, the counterattack caused by such a change was bound to be more intense than Vézé imagined.
"Isn't this …" It was obvious that the old lady opposite Qi Hongyi had some doubts about this.
Qi Hongyi laughed. "Do you think they won't know if we don't tell them? If we tell them, they might still be a little rational. If they are allowed to do as they please, what kind of trouble do you think they can come up with? "
