At the end of the day's meeting, Levis threw out the scandal about Liu Bufan. With just a few words, the provincial leaders were forced into a desperate situation. Even if they wanted to slander each other, they had to have blackmail material first. Just like what the ministry had done before, the provincial leaders were far behind in terms of blackmail material. Fortunately, the Military Governor Vaize's shout killed the matter before it exploded. Otherwise, with the excitement after the fall out, God knows what direction the meeting would have developed in.
No one accused Lv Dingchun of being the culprit who started the matter. The provincial leaders' attitude was very consistent. They all thought that the ministry had done an unforgivable evil. As for what Lv Dingchun said, it was nothing compared to the evil deeds of the ministry. At most, the provincial leaders had this idea, but it could not be realized due to their ability to collect intelligence. It turned out that not only did Levis think about it, but he also collected blackmail material from his brothers. This group of old soldiers had so much experience. They knew very well that the information in Levis's hands could not be limited to just that.
"Now, no matter what, we have to get rid of Levis. If we let him be the premier, we won't be able to survive in the future!" Although Chen Mingde's words were a little rough, he had a clear goal and went straight to the core of the problem. This attitude immediately received the support of the provincial leaders. Not only did they not feel discouraged because of the temporary defeat at the Central Committee, but they were also excited in the face of a more powerful crisis.
At this time, Liu Bufan's matter and Lv Dingchun's nonsense were nothing in the eyes of the provincial leaders. When Levis revealed some of the cards in his hands again, everyone knew that there was no way out. This was like a war. After the other party had the opportunity to take the initiative, if they did not fight back, they would only suffer losses. This principle was not learned by the Liberation Army from the losses they suffered, but from the repeated victories against the Manchu Qing and the Xiang Army. People said that only the winner could be magnanimous. In fact, this was not necessarily true. The winner was very clear about the extent to which the loser could be dealt with, so they might not be able to accept failure.
"Let's quickly send someone to find Lin Jiajun. There are people in the Army who are standing with us, but no one in the Navy has spoken yet. The Marines are so big, if they don't say anything, we will be passive. "Liu Bufan, who hadn't spoken, said. Perhaps some people would think that he was the culprit behind this failure, but Liu Bufan had no choice but to endure it. The unity shown by the ministries was undoubtedly the foundation of their victory. The fact that the province could hold on until now was undoubtedly due to their unity. If they were not united, Liu Bufan was destined to become the sacrificial offering on the altar.
As Liu Bufan had expected, no one was complaining about Liu Bufan's actions. Although some people's gazes didn't seem very friendly, as if they were silently mocking him. "You've already had Teacher Du for so many years, yet you still managed to make things go out of hand …"
Liu Bufan didn't want to explain. Some things couldn't be explained clearly with simple explanations. What Liu Bufan regretted was that his illegitimate daughter had been exposed. He didn't regret having this child at all.
"Who's going to find Lin Jiajun?" The old soldiers began to assign tasks.
Sometimes there was no need to talk so much nonsense, just like how the province didn't need to beg Ruan Xihao. Ruan Xihao also knew that the final battle had begun. Even though they were at a disadvantage in the meeting, Ruan Xihao's fighting spirit didn't diminish. At night, he ran to find Vézé. In front of Vézé, Ruan Xihao didn't retreat at all. He straightened his neck and shouted, "Commander-in-chief, if we don't remove Levis, the situation will not be stable."
If he was ten years younger, even if Vézé didn't say it out loud, he would at least mock Levis in his heart. But at this age, Vézé was slowly able to look at the world with a materialistic attitude. In a sense, Levis was right, even though he only said one side of the matter. Ruan Xihao couldn't accept Levis's ministry system. According to his attitude of 'if you don't eliminate fear, you can only add fear', if Levis wasn't removed, the provincial party committee would be removed. Otherwise, the struggle would continue.
True materialists were fearless, because materialists would first acknowledge the existence of things in reality. Even if they were absolutely irreconcilable enemies, they would first calmly accept the existence of enemies. If they weren't materialistic enough, it would be difficult for them to accept the existence of things that they didn't agree with. This was also a very strange thing. The foundation of human consciousness was materialistic, but the self-awareness that came from the body was very idealistic. It was easy for humans to think of themselves as the center of the world. Since their understanding of the world was based on themselves, humans would often think that things that contradicted their understanding were unreasonable.
Therefore, not only was Vézé not angry about Ruan Xihao's opposition, but he even felt that Ruan Xihao was like a child who hadn't grown up. This wasn't because Vézé looked down on Ruan Xihao, but because he no longer thought that Ruan Xihao was a person who was completely under Vézé's control.
"Xi Hao, this dispute is over," Vézé said to Ruan Xihao.
Ruan Xihao straightened his neck and shouted, "How did it end?"
"The Central Committee has already discussed the matter that you wanted to discuss. You have spoken, and so has Levis. They have also argued with each other, and both sides have proposed proposals. Everyone has voted. That was the end of the matter. If we live in the past all the time, how can we move forward? "Vézé tried his best to drag Ruan Xihao back to reality.
Ruan Xihao was stunned. If Vézé was furious now, it would be more understandable. After hesitating for a while, Ruan Xihao's attitude softened a little. At least he looked more rational. "Commander-in-chief, this has nothing to do with that."
Vézé first poured a cup of tea for Ruan Xihao, then said, "Xi Hao, let me bring up an old matter. Back then, when we were strengthening the organization's discipline, you acted like an idiot and refused to say who gave you the information. In the end, we still admitted it. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. At least you admitted that the organization's discipline must be strengthened, and the confidentiality measures must not be ignored. That was the end of the matter. Now, you still have to show the attitude from back then. It's your insistence not to admit Levis, but you have to admit the Central Committee's decision. If you don't admit it, then the foundation of the country will be shaken. If the Central Committee's decision doesn't count, then what else will count? "
Ruan Xihao did not expect Vézé to bring up the past. More than ten years ago, before the war with the British, Vézé requested to strengthen the confidentiality measures. In the end, in order to protect his brother, Ruan Xihao refused to reveal who spread the news about the Central Committee's decision. In the end, the matter ended with a comprehensive strengthening of the confidentiality measures. Vézé did not insist on doing anything to Ruan Xihao. Ruan Xihao also felt that this was normal. Obeying the commander-in-chief's orders should not be done at the cost of betraying his brother. Now that Vézé brought up the past again, Ruan Xihao thought about it and felt unconvinced. "Commander-in-chief, if you want me to betray my brother, I definitely can't do that. I'm not betraying my brother now. Right now, Levis doesn't treat us as brothers. "
"Brothers are people who we acknowledge exist, but whether you acknowledge them or not, they exist first. Only when they exist first can you have a chance to acknowledge them. If they don't exist, you won't have anyone to acknowledge. So this is not what you really want to say. Xi Hao, tell me the truth, and tell yourself the truth. What do you want? "Vézé tried hard to direct the question to reality.
"I want to remove Levis," Ruan Xihao answered.
"Why?" Vézé asked.
"With Levis in power, and with the ministries in power, our brothers in the province will not have an easy time." Ruan Xihao also threw caution to the wind. Preaching a bunch of principles in front of Vézé was asking to be humiliated. Vézé was the one who held the principles of the Restoration Party. It had been so for decades. Ruan Xihao did not think that his principles could override Vézé's. He still had this bit of self-awareness.
"What do you mean by 'our brothers' will have an easy time '?" Vézé asked, although he did not think that Ruan Xihao was speaking the truth. It was difficult for people to speak the truth. It was a terrifying thing to see one's own heart and face one's own heart.
With Vézé's question, Ruan Xihao also realized that it was not easy to answer. What did he mean by having an easy time? From Ruan Xihao's point of view, it was naturally what he wanted and what he said was true. However, he knew that it was just a thought. The real world was not so easy to live in. Even if he knew that it was his own heart, Ruan Xihao could not open his mouth and say the truth.
Since he did not dare to say the truth, and wanted to express this meaning, he had to go through a roundabout way. Ruan Xihao thought for a moment and chose another route. "Levis is bullying us! He does whatever he wants. How can he do it like that? "
"Why does Levis do whatever he wants? Tell me. "Vézé still had to guide him.
Ruan Xihao could not answer this question immediately, so he changed the angle again. "Commander-in-chief, just look at how Levis exposed his brother's shortcomings. How can he do it like that?"
"If you are talking about Liu Bufan, then let me say something. Do you want to let this matter go, or do you not want to let it go? "Vézé asked again.
"What do you mean?" Ruan Xihao was a little surprised.
