One of the core concepts of the Liberation Army was the unity of officers and men. This concept had many practices, and the uniform was an important symbol. Of course, the Liberation Army would never adopt absolute equalitarianism. For example, the uniforms of the generals were custom-made. Because of Vézé's bad taste, he would also send a note to the soldiers who became fat, "Excessive obesity is bad for health."
Qi Rui had also received such a note before, twice in fact. He made up his mind to control his diet and strengthen his exercise. Therefore, General Qi Rui's uniform completely highlighted the fashion and style of the military uniform. Some people noticed the four-star General rank on Qi Rui's shoulder, but more people's attention was on the general's elegance.
The official newspaper of the Min dynasty made an official introduction of the promotion. The achievements of the general were not only the motorized infantry, but also the latest armored soldiers. This publicity aroused dissatisfaction in Russia, but it was of no use to the Min dynasty. The secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specifically mentioned this matter in the learning document to the branches of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Hungary does not have the ability to research and build armored troops. Even so, at this time, the European countries do not have the ability to deal with Hungary. China, which has the ability to research and build armored troops, has no reason to pay special attention to the complaints of those countries … "
General Li Weiren saw General Qi Rui in the military commission building and first praised him. "You kids are all up."
Vézé, Wei Changrong, Lei Hu, Ruan Xihao, and others belonged to the first generation. General Li Weiren belonged to the younger brothers or subordinates of the older generation, and was considered a generation and a half. On the other hand, Qi Rui's group was a genuine second generation. From this point of view, Qi Rui had finally climbed to this height, which was of great practical and symbolic significance.
Of course, the generals would not take these small things to heart. Li Weiren was not only a general of the Min dynasty, but also a Pasha of the Osman Empire. He asked his nephew, Qi Rui, "Is it possible to sell some armored cars to the Osman Empire?"
Qi Rui quickly shook his head. "There must be people in Hungary who have connections with foreign countries, but we don't believe that anyone can steal and sell the armored vehicles. Do you think that the factions within the Osman Empire won't sell the armored vehicles? "
Li Weiren felt speechless when he was faced with the fact and truth at the same time. China has a long history, and there have been many despicable things. The upper and lower limits of a comrade with ample practical experience were equally broad. Li Weiren believed that the Osman Empire would sell the vehicles. Li Weiren firmly believed that the Osman Empire would definitely allow foreign technicians to enter the armored vehicles for field inspection.
"Don't you think it's necessary to stabilize the Osman Empire?" Li Weiren asked.
Qi Rui shook his head. "I needed the help of the Osman Empire to occupy East Africa and enter the Mediterranean Sea. Now that our goal has been achieved, the current Min dynasty no longer needs the Osman Empire. My peace policy will not allow us to use the Osman Empire to gain benefits, and we have no reason to get too involved in the Osman Empire. Besides, my father hasn't let go of one thing in recent years. It's to get rid of extremist religions. In the Min dynasty, nothing is above the constitution. The Osman Empire represents the most backward and reactionary things. In the current situation, it doesn't look like the Osman Empire will fall. Even if the Osman Empire falls, I won't think it's inappropriate. "
Li Weiren listened carefully but didn't feel surprised. Qi Rui's strategic point of view was normal, which meant that a strategist with a normal level would make a similar judgment. No matter how colorful the world was, there were only a few routes that could be realized through strategic considerations. So Li Weiren smiled and said, "If you think it's time to give Osman an armored car, contact me." After that, Li Weiren and Qi Rui went their separate ways.
Both of them were generals and had their own work to do. They didn't have time to talk nonsense. Qi Rui went straight to the office of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. After knocking on the door and entering, he saw the current Vice Chairman Shen Xin approving official documents. When Qi Rui came, Shen Xin pushed the documents and asked Qi Rui to sit down. Then he asked bluntly, "One is to adjust the military school system, and the other is to take over the Vice Chairman in charge of military orders. Which one are you interested in? "
I'm not interested in either one now. Qi Rui muttered in his heart. However, he couldn't say this directly to Shen Xin. Qi Rui himself didn't want the old leader to put on a stern face and do some ideological work. After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously, "I hope to be able to finish the work of the armored troops in North America."
After listening to Qi Rui's serious answer, Shen Xin also stared at Qi Rui with a stern face. Seeing that Qi Rui's expression changed from serious to serious, Shen Xin said, "I asked you to come to the Military Commission to make a plan for a world war in the next few years. In fact, the Military Commission has been discussing this plan for several years. The war in Europe will definitely expand, and the UA won't want to curl up on two million square kilometers of land. There is also the situation in Africa. The world will not be peaceful in the next few years. Although we hope to be in a transcendent position, we still have to have various plans. Now with the armored troops, the Military Commission thinks that this idea can be changed from pure imagination to a plan on paper. "
"… Is the previous deduction … Our loss is too big to accept?" Qi Rui's attention was involuntarily highly focused, and the question became very sensitive.
Shen Xin's voice became a little gentle, "The motorized infantry is ultimately an infantry war. In an unfamiliar and densely populated area, it is inevitable that there will be heavy losses. The armored troops let us see the possibility of getting out of this predicament. "
"In other words, if we have the cooperation of the British or French, our army can cross the Atlantic Ocean in a short time and completely defeat Germany?" Qi Rui asked very straightforwardly.
When he heard that his subordinates had similar strategic deductions, Shen Xin couldn't help but smile. If the Min dynasty had no intention of destroying Britain, only Germany had the ability to challenge the British-dominated European order. Therefore, Shen Xin smiled and said, "I personally hope that Germany and Britain perish together."
Qi Rui could understand this idea, but he had already decided to go to Nanjing to see his father, Vézé. On such an important matter, Qi Rui firmly believed that his father's suggestion would be the best.
Shen Xin continued, "Qi Rui, it won't be long before I retire. You becoming a general is naturally the hope of the people. Many comrades, including me, hope that you will be able to shoulder the heavy burden of the development of the Liberation Army. The armored troops are just a sharp blade. The organizational construction of the Liberation Army is the key to determining the future of the Liberation Army. I think you should take over as the vice president in charge of military orders. As for you, prepare yourself. After the end of this meeting, take office as soon as possible. "
"… Yes." Qi Rui saluted his old leader and then left.
A few hours later, Qi Rui boarded a plane to Nanjing. In the evening, he arrived at Nanjing Airport. There was already a car waiting at the airport. When it was dark, Qi Rui entered his father's residence.
The dismissal of the Nanjing Military Academy had caused a sensation in the army. Regardless of whether there were repercussions, the matter was over. The principal and a group of people who did not oppose the principal were all dismissed. Their attempt to stay out of the matter was considered by the soldiers loyal to Vézé as betraying the commander-in-chief. Therefore, life after the dismissal was not easy. They were all sent to work at the weather station in western Australia.
His father, Vézé, was really old. His hair was all white and his body could only be described as healthy. He no longer had the strength of his youth. Qi Rui didn't have any emotions this time. He could see that his father's mood was very stable and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Now you are a general. When the war in Europe starts, our armored troops will attack and you will be the marshal. Not bad. "Vézé praised.
Qi Rui was a little embarrassed by his father's prophetic words. He smiled and said, "This is all your advice, father."
"It is my responsibility to give advice. Things work because of internal causes. External causes are just triggers. You have to have confidence in yourself. "Vézé said with a smile.
After listening to his father's words, Qi Rui's heart also gave birth to some confidence. But after a moment, he sighed and said, "When can I help others like father? I always feel that I can't solve my own problems. I don't have the ability to help others. "
"Qi Rui, look at the sun. Everyone wants to hide in the shade. In winter, everyone comes out to bask in the sun. Has the sun changed? The sun hasn't changed at all. It's only the people and the environment that people live in that has changed. I have never taken the initiative to help anyone in all these years. Everyone has changed because they have their own needs. As a human being, it is actually far from being as great as I think. If I really have great achievements, it is only because I have pushed productivity forward more than others. That is all. The comrades in the army approve of you because the motorized infantry and armored troops have greatly improved the combat power of the army. "Vézé's tone was calm, but at the same time, there was an unconcealable joy in it.
Qi Rui was not very clear whether his father was happy because of his son's achievements or because the things he proposed were put into practice. If it was in the past, it was inevitable that Qi Rui would not be confident. But now, Qi Rui thought it through. The armored troops led by his father may not be a match for him. This did not mean that Qi Rui was stronger than his father Vézé, but Qi Rui had really made a great contribution to the armored troops. As long as Qi Rui did not reap without sowing, he felt that there was no need to feel ashamed.
Of course, regarding his father's words, Qi Rui thought for a moment and replied, "Father, I have no plans to enter politics."
