"Commander-in-chief, there's something I don't understand. You're so strict with us. We might think what you say makes sense, but we might not think that you're right. Isn't that the extent of managing criminals? " After Chen Zhe, the head of military technology, proposed stricter security measures, Hu Chenghe couldn't help but speak his mind. If he didn't say it, Hu Chenghe was worried that he would resent Vézé. And he knew very well that resenting Vézé was very harmful.
Hu Chenghe dared to say this because he believed in Vézé's character. Many of his brothers had said even more unpleasant things, but Vézé had never been angry at them for speaking their minds. This was indeed something that ordinary people couldn't do.
Vézé really wasn't angry. He just sighed in his heart at the significance of the progress of society and the progress of the times. The new China he came from had the accumulation of education and revolutionary traditions. Regardless of whether they could do it or not, everyone had really heard of those principles. When one did things honestly, many principles could be enlightened in the end. In this era, many principles had not been widely publicized. Even if one sat in a high position, one's self-cultivation was far from reaching that level.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Wei Ze smiled and said, "Everyone has been talking about organizational discipline and code of conduct too many times now that you've reached your current position. I won't talk about it this time. What I want to say is that it's not realistic for everyone to say that you don't want to put on airs or have any desire to save face. Manchu Qing was the most concerned about face and ostentation. What happened to him? "
Every time the Manchu Qing was mentioned, everyone would reflect a little. The experience of personally destroying the old dynasty had taught everyone a lot and made them realize the value of life. There was no greater sense of accomplishment than destroying a former ruler. Similarly, looking at the miserable state of the old rulers, everyone couldn't help but think of their own future.
Seeing that everyone was really reflecting, Vézé continued, "As the leaders of the country, without the strength of the country, how could you have the glory you have today? You guys are already very glorious now. If you use the country's interests to exchange for your glory, then you are digging at the foundation of the country, and also digging at your own foundation. The princes of the Manchu Qing had once enjoyed limitless glory, but what had become of them now? If they messed up the country, what would happen to them? That's right, everyone fought for the world together. Is it shameful to protect the world that we fought for? It is our honor and our duty to safeguard the interests of our country. Comrades, don't get it wrong. It is an honor to obey the law, and it is a duty to obey the law. No one will look down on you just because you are law-abiding! I'll say it again. Don't get it wrong! "
There was nothing wrong with this logic, but everyone was a rebel, and it was normal for them to be above the law. It was not necessarily a problem of personal morality, but rather an unconscious experience of success. After hearing this, everyone felt that there was indeed no reason to harm the national interest just because of a moment of happiness.
"This time, many comrades didn't intend to betray the secret, but they couldn't help but brag. When they said that they knew the future strategy was to seize the Dutch East Indies, they leaked the secret. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that everyone makes mistakes, and the one who makes fewer mistakes will win. What kind of situation is this when everyone knows about the national strategy? This is the result of our lack of self-discipline. So, it's not about managing criminals, but because we are in this position, we have to be self-disciplined. If we really can't do it, and if we can't help but harm the national interest, then we can only ask these comrades to leave. This really isn't a personal opinion of the comrades, but because we are in this position, we have to do this. Whoever violates the discipline is not suitable for the job. Let me emphasize again, the job in this position does not allow everyone to do this. It's that simple. "Vézé finally made a conclusion on this matter and drew a clear line.
There was no threat, but everyone knew that Vézé was not joking. Vézé never joked about work.
At this point, there was no need to say anything else. Next, they discussed the five-year plan, which was the basic operating method of China in the future. Even if a war broke out, this matter could not be shaken.
The five-year plan and even the second five-year plan were all plans to practice internal energy. The education system, irrigation works, and many other things were still in the ascendant, but a solid foundation had to be laid.
Vézé now believed in the saying, "If you can't do anything at home, if you are invincible abroad, the country will perish!" As long as the British attacked, China would know how big the world was and how strong the enemy was. This understanding and practice would promote the progress of China itself. Because failure to progress would lead to failure. The history of colonization was a history of weak people being eliminated one by one. When the process of industrialization began on Earth, competition would only intensify step by step, and no one could reverse this process.
After discussing the day's work, Vézé called Lei Hu, Shen Xin, Hu Chenghe, and Lin Jiajun to his office. These people were the people who had talked to him last time, but some of them had changed their attitudes. Vézé asked Ruan Xihao, "Comrade Ruan Xihao, are you still not willing to make a statement on the issue of passing on the message?"
At the previous meeting, everyone knew the consequences of not keeping the secret. At that time, Ruan Xihao knew why he was called to the meeting. The higher-ups had accepted the rule that anyone who refused to abide by the confidentiality rules would have to leave. Ruan Xihao had no one to rely on, and no one would continue to support him.
In the face of Vézé's calm speech, Ruan Xihao did not know what to say for a while. After a while, he said, "I am determined to abide by the organization's rules and the confidentiality rules. I have made many mistakes in the past, and I know it now. I will not make them again. "
There was no longer the last time when he said he wanted to take all the responsibility, and there was no longer the grievance that Vézé's request was excessive. Ruan Xihao had admitted defeat.
Hu Chenghe and Lin Jiajun heaved a sigh of relief. They really did not want to see Ruan Xihao and Vézé go against the rules, because this time, the consequences would be terrible. Vézé would not do anything to Ruan Xihao. He would only send him to the military academy for further studies, and then arrange a "suitable job" for him. After that, Ruan Xihao would disappear from the list of higher-ups. No, there was no need to wait until then. Now that the young people were catching up quickly, as long as Ruan Xihao could leave the frontline and be sent to the military academy, then Ruan Xihao would be officially removed from the list.
However, Hu Chenghe was also clear that the initiative was no longer in Ruan Xihao's hands. If Vézé had forcefully dealt with Ruan Xihao last time, his brothers would have thought of a way to oppose it. Even if they really fought with Vézé to the death, they would still be able to protect Ruan Xihao. Now, there was no such opportunity. As long as Vézé could prove that Ruan Xihao was stubborn, no one would help him. Wei Ze had called Hu Chenghe and Lin Jiajun to participate in this no-talk session so that the two of them could be witnesses. As for Lei Hu and Shen Xin, they would definitely support Vézé's opinion at all times.
Vézé did not answer Ruan Xihao immediately. He looked at Ruan Xihao, hesitating. Obviously, Vézé was not completely satisfied with Ruan Xihao's words. Hu Chenghe was anxious. He had decided to listen to Liang Zhangtai's suggestion and abandon all those unreliable guys. Last time, Vézé hoped that Ruan Xihao could tell him who the messenger was, but Ruan Xihao refused. This time, as long as Ruan Xihao told him who the messenger was, he would be able to pass the test. However, Ruan Xihao refused to tell him.
"Why do we need to protect those useless people?" Hu Chenghe shouted in his heart.
Ruan Xihao's expression became more and more serious. It seemed that he wanted to say something. Hu Chenghe's heart was in his throat. Ruan Xihao was actually quite tough, but he was very obedient to Vézé. If Ruan Xihao really wanted to teach Vézé a lesson, no one would be able to stop him.
"Commander-in-chief, I still can't tell you who the messenger was!" Ruan Xihao said what Hu Chenghe was most worried about. Hu Chenghe could not help but close his eyes. This fierce general of the Liberation Army was finally showing his stubbornness.
"Why?" Vézé's words did not sound particularly unhappy. He simply asked.
"Now, the party's view on this matter is completely different from back then. I can now guarantee that the messenger would not dare to do it again after seeing the consequences. Of course, some people might still dare to do it, but everyone can accept it if they are punished now. If they were punished directly, I would not accept it. I don't think our comrades would accept it either. The time is different, the situation is different, and the environment is different. If I were to return to the Northern Command, I would definitely pay close attention to this problem. I would also set an example. If some people refuse to mend their ways, I would not let them off. However, I don't think it's appropriate to bring up old scores from back then! " Ruan Xihao seemed to have made up his mind. His Guangxi dialect, which had greatly changed after speaking Mandarin for many years, was extremely fluent.
"Haha!" Vézé could not help but laugh.
Hu Chenghe saw Ruan Xihao's stubbornness and heard Vézé laugh happily. He did not understand why Vézé had the intention to let Ruan Xihao go.
"Discipline cannot be broken. Once it is broken, something will definitely happen. It's just a matter of sooner or later. Whoever does not abide by the discipline is not suitable to work in that position. When you return to the Northern Command, I hope that you can take responsibility and let your comrades understand this matter. The British can bribe the Chinese to be their spies. Now that Manchu Qing is still around, the Russians have the same ability. They won't be unable to do anything to China just because they are foreigners. Have you cleared this point? "Vézé spoke calmly at first, but his tone became stern when he mentioned foreigners.
