Sometimes, the addition of one person could bring about a major change in a chaotic situation. The conference room of the Military Commission was held three days after Political Commissar Tu came back. The reason why the meeting was not held before was that they were waiting for Political Commissar Tu to attend the meeting. When Political Commissar Tu came back to attend the meeting, Division Commander Wu's shortcomings were immediately remedied.
At the beginning of the meeting, the conflict went straight to the heart of the matter. Division Commander Wu shouted at the military law office. The commander was not worried about Qi Rui at all. He was the army commander, and the military commissar also knew Qi Rui's identity. The two of them had already discussed it. If Division Commander Wu went overboard, the two of them would stop him immediately. The reason why it was not the commander's turn to act was that Qi Rui's problem was only a small splash among the many fundamental problems. Regardless of whether it was the division commander or those who had spoken up for Qi Rui, their goal was not Qi Rui, but the policy they wanted to oppose. The debate over policy and the direction of the army had officially begun.
The head of the Military Law Department, Lv Dingsheng, pointed out the attitude of some of the troops, while Division Commander Wu expressed a different attitude. Should they use a new way of thinking to build the army, or should they strengthen the old traditions and advantages? The attitudes of both sides were very intense.
Political Commissar Tu's participation in the discussion brought the issue into focus. "What exactly is the dignity of the army?"
"I've been a political commissar for so long, I can say that we have to punish some people every year. In the past few decades, I can't remember a single year in the army that hasn't punished someone. This year was about to end, and there was even a problem with Li Guangzu. If we say that we punished someone, the army will lose face. According to this standard, our troops have never been disgraced. It's not that there hasn't been one or two years, but that there hasn't been one in the past few decades. " Political Commissar Tu was experienced enough to show off his seniority in front of the Chief of the Military Law Department. The young Chief of the Military Law Department really couldn't do anything about it.
Political Commissar Tu expressed his opinion calmly, "Division Commander Wu obviously doesn't like the military law department's article. Let me also say that I don't like it either. In the decades of history of the army, it's not that no one has ever tried to use the rule of law to argue. Division Commander Wu has seen it, and so have I. The army was here to fight, and this had nothing to do with the law. If he was a law enforcer, he wouldn't have to deal with these officers in the army. Just let the military court handle it! "
The Political Department was the highest authority in the army, followed by the Command Department. Although the Human Resources Department had a lot of power, its status was not high. Although Political Commissar Tu was a Division Political Commissar, he was also a very important member of the Military Commission. Lv Dingsheng's face almost turned green when he heard such harsh words.
The old veterans in the army were always able to control the situation. It could be said that Political Commissar Tu's words were sharp and unkind. However, after hearing Political Commissar Tu's sarcastic remarks, Lv Ding was so angry that his head was spinning, but he couldn't think of a retort immediately. The military law office was indeed a very important institution, but according to the recently trending terminology, the military law office served the military's operations. The Military Law Department relied on the existence of the Political Work Department and the Combat Department, but it was not independent of these two departments.
Seeing that Political Commissar Tu was almost done, the commander asked the division commanders and political commissars of the other two divisions, "What do you think?"
Political Commissar Tu stuck the flag on the ground to make his stand clear. The other two division commanders had never thought of letting the military law department play an important role, especially in the current situation. It was not up to the military law department to decide the dignity of the troops. The members of the Military Commission of the other two divisions agreed with Political Commissar Tu's statement.
After the six representatives of the three divisions had expressed their views, the remaining people were in a disadvantageous position for the head of the Military Law Department. Therefore, the other members of the Military Commission also expressed their views. They believed that even if there was a problem with the troops, it did not mean that it would affect the dignity of the troops. After discussing these issues, Political Commissar Tu took the opportunity to bring up the contents of the reorganization of the troops that he and Division Commander Wu had discussed.
The same thing could be interpreted differently in different places. For example, Li Guangzu's problem could be said to be a legal problem, but it could also be said to be a problem of the old clan ideology. Of course, in Political Commissar Tu and Division Commander Wu's opinion, it was a problem of the troops slacking off after a long period of local construction. If the army didn't work like an ordinary engineering team, but maintained the training of the elite field army and the daily combat readiness of the field army, it would have been impossible for the army to survive. Even if the troops gave Li Guangzu a holiday, the commander of the troops would not allow Li Guangzu to beat his brother. Based on historical experience, Li Guangzu did not dare to disobey the orders of the commander of the troops. Therefore, the root of Li Guangzu's problem was not the face of the troops, but a problem with the discipline and mentality of the troops themselves. The iron hoop of discipline that was once extremely strong had loosened, which led to so many problems.
Political Commissar Tu said loudly, "The so-called law can only be said to be effective when it is obeyed. If you want people to obey the law, you must first have discipline. At this time, if the troops keep shouting about the law, it is better to have discipline first! "
Lv Dingsheng, the head of the Military Law Department, lowered his head and did not say a word. At this time, he no longer had the right to speak. Before Mayor Tu came forward, Lv Dingsheng once thought that if he could prevail over Division Commander Wu in terms of reason, he would have a greater say in the military, and he might even have more say in issues related to the law. He did not expect that the old guys would be able to drive the legal system aside just because of the discipline of the troops.
As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier!
At this time, some people also raised some opinions, such as whether the complete withdrawal of the troops would cause the speed of infrastructure construction in North America to slow down. Of course, there were also leaders who were worried that such an approach would cause the Military Commission to think that the North American troops wanted to start a war. At this time, China's troops only set up a few outposts on the Sino-American border. Although the UA side did not have a large number of troops, the troops of several UA states on the border would occasionally come for a look. It was not known whether they came to inspect or to demonstrate. In case the situation on the border was tense to the point of confrontation, or even conflict, although the central government would not really do anything, it was inevitable that they would be unhappy.
"I don't think there is anything to be afraid of in this regard. When we arrived in North America, we considered going to war with the UA. Look at the map. As long as the UA is there, we can't stop. If the troops can't win under any circumstances, there is no peace to talk about. The top priority now is to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops, "Division Commander Wu expressed his opinion in an iron-blooded manner.
This kind of opinion was also the original purpose of the existence of the army, and none of the veteran soldiers would object.
It started with the incident with Li Guangzu, and ended with all the troops going into a wartime state. Commander Liu wrote a report on this matter and sent it to the Military Commission. After Vézé finished reading it, Wei Changrong, who was waiting in the office, said, "Wei Rui did not find anyone to support him this time, and he did not try to curry favor with us. I am very satisfied with the way he handled it."
Last time when he talked to Wei Changrong about Commander Liu's report, Vézé did not mention Wei Rui at all. This time, he took the initiative to mention the matter, and Wei Changrong could feel that Vézé was finally relieved. Wei Changrong smiled and said, "Uncle, it seems that you still want to go to war."
Hearing this judgment, Vézé smiled bitterly. "Changrong, I am in my 50s this year. In a few years, you will be 60. We are all old, and we don't have much time. For me, I should either get rid of the UA or concentrate on domestic construction. I don't need to be too young. If I were 10 years younger, I would have the confidence to do both things. Even if I live to be seventy years old, I can only do one thing. "
Wei Changrong asked a question, "Uncle, why do you want to destroy the UA so much? Although the UA is big, it is obviously much weaker than China. Based on our current development trend, the UA will not be a match for us in another 10 years. Concentrate on developing for 10 years, and it will be easy to get rid of the UA. "
"Most of the people in the UA now are immigrants, which means that these people are trying to come to North America to live a better life. They are not here to work for the UA. But in another 10 years, the UA population will increase, and the industry will develop. The people of this country will have a different perception of this country. Just like now, many of us still think that there is not much difference between a few provinces in North America and foreign countries. But in another 10 or 20 years, what will everyone think? You said that we will develop for 10 years before we attack the UA, but that is something that can only be prepared for 10 years later. If we really attack the UA, it will be 15 or 20 years later, and I can't guarantee that I can live until then. So, if we want to attack the UA in 10 years, we have to prepare for the next 10 years. In other words, attacking the UA doesn't mean that we have to fight, but we have to start now! "Vézé explained.
Wei Changrong nodded slightly. As usual, Vézé did convince Wei Changrong. However, the persuasion in a certain aspect brought new questions. Wei Changrong asked another question, "Uncle, what happens after we take over the UA?"
Vézé shook his head helplessly. "After we take over the UA, our expansion will come to an end. Look at the public opinion now, not to mention the enthusiasm to go to war with the UA, it is very difficult for everyone to develop North America. I've told Li Xin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the only thing I can do now is to start another war. After this war with the UA, the prestige that I have accumulated for decades will be completely exhausted. When the time comes, the world will support us, but when the time comes, the hero will not be free. That's all I can do. "
These words were said seriously, but Wei Changrong was amused. "Uncle, the UA now has seven or eight million square kilometers of land. You destroyed a country of seven or eight million square kilometers, and then you say that is all you can do. How much ability do you have to be to be considered capable? Your standards are too much.
