Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 41 Fighting in the Open and Dark
Rundong did not want to discuss the matter of leaving office and staying in office in front of Ji Youguo.
According to Zhao Rundong's idea, even Pan Yunsheng will have to work in the Military Intelligence Bureau for a few more years, not to mention Peng Maobang and Pang Xinglong. Even if Pang Xinglong has served two terms and cannot continue to serve as premier of the State Council, he can still play a role in other important positions.
People are inevitably a little selfish.
Although Ji Youguo no longer cares about national affairs after leaving office, if it were not for Pan Yunsheng's "martyrdom", he would not have come to Beijing at all, but Zhao Rundong's first term of office has more or less the shadow of Ji Youguo, basically inherited Ji Youguo's original team, and Zhao Rundong's influence has not surpassed Ji Youguo.
In his second term, Zhao Rundong is ready to let go for a few years.
At this time, the international situation is exactly in line with Zhao Rundong's thinking, whether it is the Japanese nuclear issue or the beginning of the Korean War, the situation around the Republic will not be peaceful in the next few years. As a military head of state, Zhao Rundong's "military exploits" are not even comparable to Ji Youguo. If he can win the possible outbreak of the Peninsula War and resolve the external crisis, not to mention surpassing Ji Youguo, Zhao Rundong will at least be able to gain the same status and prestige as Ji Youguo.
In this way, Zhao Rundong naturally hopes that the leadership team will remain stable.
Although Pan Yunsheng did not say it explicitly, he deliberately raised this issue in front of Ji Youguo, making it clear that he wanted Ji Youguo to exert some influence on the selection of the next leadership team.
Zhao Rundong knows it in his heart, and Ji Youguo also knows it in his heart.
In fact, Ji Youguo didn't want to intervene on this issue at all. If he wanted to seize the power of the country, Ji Youguo would have sought re-election five years ago.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Even Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin felt it.
"Old Zhao ......" Ji Youguo sighed secretly. I feel like I've been deceived. "No matter what. You can't be like them. If you don't do it, you won't do it. β
Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly. said: "Everyone is gone. What can I, the Commander of the Light Pole, do? β
"Lao Zhao. That's a serious statement. Pan Yunsheng coughed dryly. Said. "I've arranged it. Although Li Cunxun is a little younger. But the ability is no worse than mine. Liu Xiaobin has partnered with Li Cunxun for more than ten years. The ability is obvious to all. Not only did you not pay. Also earned one. β
Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly. There is no flamboyant Pan Yunsheng.
"Me too. Xiang Linghui is the most outstanding general in recent years. On the ability to fight on the battlefield. He's so much better than the soldiers we crawled out of the cat's ear holes. On practical experience. We can't compare with him. On the ability to command. The Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the East China Sea War, the Laos War, the Vietnam War, the South China Sea War. It's all about him commanding at the front or serving as commander-in-chief in the rear. No matter how you look at it. He was the best and most ideal soldier he could find. Don't say anything else. He's dozens of years younger than me, the old guy. Even if you stay up all night, it's much better than me. β
After speaking, Peng Maobang smiled and nodded at Pan Yunsheng.
Zhao Rundong sighed, revealing a look of speechlessness.
"Lao Zhao, it seems that you have not suffered less in the past few years." Ji Youguo also laughed, "Lao Peng and Xiao Pan sing together, don't talk about you, everyone can bear it." β
"Lao Ji, don't you know, they sing double reeds, I have a hard time." Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head, "In this case, the problem between the Military Intelligence Bureau and the General Staff is not big. β
"Lao Zhao, I won't do the third session." Pang Xinglong immediately spoke, "Whether it is a convention or my personal wishes, the State Council will be replaced next year." β
Zhao Rundong did not speak, and Ji Youguo did not speak.
Pang Xinglong hesitated for a moment and said: "Speaking of ability, Foreign Minister Huang Guowei and Defense Minister Gu Weimin are both capable of serving as premiers of the State Council. In the next few years, the international situation will certainly deteriorate further, and a prime minister who understands diplomacy or national defense will be more competent for future work. With the gradual improvement of the economic situation, the general project of industrial restructuring has been decided, and it is also necessary to take this opportunity to readjust the leading body of the State Council. β
Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and looked at Ji Youguo.
"I'm a listener." Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I have already left office, and I have long stopped asking about national affairs."
Whoever wants me to have an opinion, I will leave now. β
"Ji, everyone respects you." Pan Yunsheng sighed secretly and said, "Lao Zhao, let's talk about it." β
"Xiao Pang's words are right, but ......" Zhao Rundong sighed and said, "Huang Guowei's attitude is too soft, and it is difficult to play the role of Optimus Prime in national affairs." Gu Weimin's qualifications are too shallow, and the Ministry of Defense can make him tired half to death, how can he still have the ability to manage the State Council. β
Peng Maobang was stunned for a moment and coughed dryly.
Seeing this scene, Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin wanted to get up and leave.
Most of the problems of the Ministry of National Defense were not caused by Gu Weimin, but by Peng Maobang. Not to mention anything else, the leading role in the work of changing the armament of the armed forces should be the Ministry of National Defense, which controls the national defense budget, and under the "pressure" of Peng Maobang, the Ministry of National Defense has "pushed" almost all the work to the General Staff, allowing the General Staff to play a decisive role.
"Huang Guowei's problem is really big." Seeing that Ji Youguo had made up his mind not to speak, Pan Yunsheng said, "After so many years of diplomatic work, his personality has long been fixed, and if you want to make him in the key."
It's really hard to play a key role. In addition to promoting local officials, the right person. β
"Promoting local officials is also a solution." Peng Maobang muttered.
Zhao Rundong didn't say anything, and looked at Pang Xinglong.
"To promote officials from the local level, only provincial-level cadres can be selected, and the rest are too young." Pang Xinglong hesitated for a moment and said, "At present, it seems that the officials in Guangxi, Shanghai, and Shandong are all good. β
Hearing this, Ji Youguo remained silent.
Not to mention Ji Youguo, even Li Cunxun saw the attitude of the main leaders.
Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang sang and sang together, with only one purpose: to let Wang Yuanqing return to the central government. Originally, this matter should have been brought forward by Ji Youguo, after all, Wang Yuanqing is Ji Youguo's "protΓ©gΓ©", he has done a very good job in Guangxi, and the results of the 5-year pilot work are very amazing, and even the outside world thinks that Wang Yuanqing will return to the central government in 2022. The problem is that Ji Youguo not only did not express his position, but also did not put forward any opinions, Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang could only bite the bullet.
Zhao Rundong's attitude was very vague, and Pang Xinglong was in a dilemma. Pang Xinglong must rely on Zhao Rundong, otherwise he will be eaten to death by Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng. Under the circumstance that Zhao Rundong's attitude was unclear, Pang Xinglong not only could not clearly oppose Wang Yuanqing's return to the Central Committee, but also could not clearly support Wang Yuanqing's opposition to the Central Committee. In the case of having to express his position, Pang Xinglong could only go left and right and put forward three candidates.
Zhao Rundong did not express his position, not because he didn't want to express his position, but because Ji Youguo's face was not good.
Pang Xinglong first proposed Huang Guowei and Gu Weimin, and clearly supported Gu Weimin, because everyone knew that Huang Guowei could only do diplomacy, not be the prime minister. The reason why Pang Xinglong supports Gu Weimin is very simple, Gu Weimin is Zhao Rundong's "subordinate". Zhao Rundong put forward Gu Weimin's shortcomings, mainly to test Ji Youguo's attitude. As a result, Ji Youguo did not express his position, but Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang "beat the snake with the stick", indirectly "vetoed" Gu Weimin, and made it clear that they did not support Gu Weimin as the premier of the State Council.
In this case, Zhao Rundong does not consider Ji Youguo's feelings, but also has to consider the feelings of Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang.
In the end, except for Ji Youguo, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Rundong.
"Promoting officials from the local area is also a way." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "Actually, the biggest problem is not the choice of the premier of the State Council, but the fact that there are too many new faces in the next leadership team, even if the young people have good ability, they also lack experience." The old one is gone, and the problem is difficult to solve. β
Although Zhao Rundong avoided the direct question, what he said was not unreasonable.
Peng Maobang took two puffs of his cigarette and looked at Pan Yunsheng.
In the "General Staff Intelligence Duo", Peng Maobang mainly contributed influence, and Pan Yunsheng was the "dog-headed military advisor".
"Lao Zhao's words are indeed true." Pan Yunsheng extinguished the cigarette butt, "Three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, young people lack experience, we can expand the scale of the leadership team, everyone works together, it is much better than a few people to open a closed-door meeting." In this way, it can not only play the role of the old and the new, but also grasp the direction, ensure that there are no problems in the general direction, and maintain the consistency of the policy. β
Hearing this, Liu Xiaobin secretly stepped on Li Cunxun.
Pan Yunsheng's words are very level, not only resolving the contradictions, but also striving for a brighter future for Wang Yuanqing.
"Xiao Pan is right, we are all young, experience is accumulated little by little, if you don't give young people the opportunity to exercise, how can they grow experience?" Peng Maobang was a little hindsight, "As long as Lao Zhao is here, the coherence of the general direction and policy is not a problem." Expanding the size of the leadership team will also allow more young people to get training opportunities. Not to mention the next year, in the long run, we should do it. β
Pang Xinglong smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.
"In that case, I think it would be possible to add a deputy head of state." Zhao Rundong made his attitude clear, "In the past few years, my health has not been ideal, and it is necessary to add a deputy head of state." β
These remarks show that Zhao Rundong has adopted a strategy of retreating into advance.
The best candidate for a deputy head of state must be a local official, not a State Council official who has been in the center for several years and already has connections. As a result, Wang Yuanqing became the only choice of the vice head of state, and Gu Weimin was the best choice of the premier of the State Council. It seems that the deputy head of state has more weight, but in reality he has little real power. As long as the next head of state is not determined, the deputy head of state is a "backup". Zhao Rundong did this, undoubtedly wanting to get rid of Ji Youguo's influence and prevent Wang Yuanqing from playing too much of a role in the central government.
Having said that, Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang are also a little embarrassed.
"It seems that I really didn't come at the right time today." Ji Youguo sighed and said, "It's been a busy morning, and I haven't eaten lunch yet." Let's go to dinner first, and you can continue the discussion in the afternoon, I have to go back to teach my granddaughter." β
Ji Youguo came out of the round, and the discussion ended here.
Damn it**
During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
