Just as Xiang Beijing was about to speak, Song Hongjun, who was sitting next to him, coughed hard several times and said feebly: "Let me say a few words."
The eyes of all the Standing Committee members immediately focused on Song Hongjun, with a little surprise in their eyes. The old secretary, who had been recovering in the hospital for most of the year, seemed to have not participated in the Standing Committee for a long time. It was even the first time for Propaganda Minister Qiao Xiaoyang to meet his immediate boss. Even though Song Hongjun's words were weak, no one dared to underestimate Song Hongjun's influence.
"In terms of qualifications, Song Hongjun is the unrivaled boss. Even Wang Decai at the time did not dare to stab Song Hongjun in front of him. If Song Hongjun hadn't been in poor health and didn't have enough energy to cope with the heavy work, Wang Decai might not have been able to dominate Jialiang County. Song Hongjun is also a legend in the official circles of Jialiang County. He has been in Jialiang County for more than 30 years and has worked in almost every township and bureau in the county. However, he has never been promoted and has to rely solely on his qualifications to get promoted. Got to where I am now. As for why Song Hongjun's promotion is so slow, it is rumored that he made some mistakes when he was young and left some stain on his personal file that is difficult to erase, so that he often misses promotion. However, although Song Hongjun's position is not high, he has been rooted in one place for more than thirty years, and his influence and prestige are naturally self-evident. It can be said that more than half of the cadres in various departments and towns under the jurisdiction of Jialiang County grew up under his watch. Even several members of the Standing Committee sitting in the office today grew up under his watch.
"I also learned a little about Comrade Shen Yangmei. I also looked for that article to read it. I also found a few articles that held the same opposing views and read them carefully. I personally feel that the two parties are talking about their mother-in-law. It's reasonable, it's fair to say, but why did Comrade Shen Yangmei attract overwhelming criticism because of that article? I think this is very abnormal, just like when a ship sinks, everyone is used to gathering in one direction, indicating that things are going Development in a bad direction, or as the Chairman once said, the truth is often in the hands of a few people." At this point, Song Hongjun picked up the cup and took a sip, seemingly intentionally leaving it for everyone to think about. time.
"You may think that I am a big dick and what I say does not make sense, but I can tell you from my personal experience that when everyone has the same desire, this desire is not a good thing." Song Hongjun seemed to have remembered something when he said this, with a desolate look on his face. He seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be telling the Standing Committee members present, "Back then, I was about the same age as Comrade Shen Yangmei. I responded to the call of the central government and overthrew all the monsters and monsters. , but what was the final result? Everyone must know that it left our country and nation endless pain and regret. Were we wrong at the time? Now it seems that we were hopelessly wrong, but at the time , but I feel that what I did was extremely correct. Maybe there should have been someone like Comrade Shen Yangmei at that time, who bravely poured cold water on us and let us calm down. However, there was no such thing at that time. The whole country, the whole Society has completely entered a state of madness. Using history as a mirror, right and wrong, maybe we really should calm down and think about it carefully, have we gone from one extreme to another?"
Song Hongjun had a look of regret and guilt on his face, as if he was still immersed in the memories of the past. The standing committee members who were serving seemed to be infected by his emotions, and they couldn't help but think of those crazy years.
"As to whether what Comrade Shen Yangmei did was right or wrong, we may not have the right to decide. Perhaps we can only leave it to future generations to comment as time goes by." Song Hongjun said calmly at the end, saying so much, as if The last bit of strength in Tian's body was drained, but he finally summoned up all his strength, "So, I hope everyone can give Comrade Shen Yangmei a final opportunity to distinguish himself and let him talk about his feelings and thoughts."
Song Hongjun's words made the Standing Committee members nod their heads. Qin Xuewen, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, said slowly: "I think what Secretary Song said is very reasonable. We should give full trust and understanding to young comrades like Xiang Shen Yangmei. If he makes a mistake, he will be beaten to death with a stick."
Yang Xuejun and Lu Zhengyi looked at each other and saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes. Neither of them expected that Song Hongjun would open his mouth to defend Shen Yangmei. It was impossible for the two of them to ignore Song Hongjun's proposal. Yang Xuejun could only forcefully smile and said: "Okay, since Secretary Song has spoken, let's listen to what Shen Yangmei has to say."
The eyes of all the members of the Standing Committee immediately focused on Shen Yangmei's face. Shen Yangmei looked at everyone quietly and said calmly: "I have nothing to say. I feel clear about what I have done!"
Xiang Beijing didn't expect that Shen Yangmei would say such a sentence. He felt anxious and just wanted to say a few words to smooth things over with a smile. But before he could open his mouth, the door of the conference room suddenly burst."With a sound, someone pushed him away, and Yang Xuejun's secretary, Wang Xueping, rushed in with a look of panic.
Yang Xuejun immediately wrinkled his forehead and shouted sternly: "Xueping, what happened? How can you behave in such a panic?"
The members of the Standing Committee also looked at Wang Xueping with puzzled faces, secretly wondering what happened to make the usually stable Wang Xueping panic so much?
"Secretary Yang, please watch TV quickly." Wang Xueping said anxiously.
There was a TV in the conference room. Yang Xuejun looked up at Wang Haijing and motioned for him to turn on the TV in the conference room.
Wang Haijing thought it was some important news from the province or city, so he turned on the TV in three steps at a time.
The TV screen was from China Central Station, which seemed to be broadcasting a news program. The screen swept across and everyone saw the round spire building. Yang Xuejun smiled and said: "It should be in Europe!"
As soon as Tian finished speaking, the screen immediately switched to a young reporter. The young reporter looked frightened and uneasy. He raised the microphone in his hand to his mouth and said loudly: "My friends in the audience, I am in the Soviet Union now." The capital of Moscow, behind me is the Kremlin. Just in the early morning of today, a military coup occurred in Moscow. The coup soldiers have occupied the Kremlin. The military spokesperson said that they have successfully controlled the situation. We are still learning more about the details. middle."
The members of the Standing Committee in the conference room suddenly looked at each other. For a moment, they seemed to be unable to accept the news they were seeing. There was a military coup in the Soviet Union. How could a military coup happen? Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yangmei's face, and now the only thought in everyone's mind was that this boy's judgment had come true.
Shen Yangmei's face was also slightly stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he secretly wondered: The coup in the Soviet Union in the previous life didn't seem to happen today?
At this time, the scene on the TV switched back to the studio. In addition to the host, there were two soldiers in military uniforms. The host said loudly: "This is a live report sent back by our reporter in Moscow. Regarding the Soviet military coup, we invited two researchers from the Central Soviet Research Office on site and asked them to share their views on the coup"
Yang Xuejun was stunned for a long time before he accepted this fact. He looked at Shen Yangmei strangely. How could it be possible? This guy's article actually came true. He had just impassionedly criticized Shen Yangmei for his miscalculation. He asked him how to end it. Yang Xuejun could no longer care about what was being said on the TV, and had no intention of continuing the meeting, so he hurriedly announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Shen Yangmei breathed a sigh of relief. As for why the time of the coup in the Soviet Union was deviated, after thinking about it, maybe it was because the heated debate in China was noticed by the Soviets and indirectly affected their decision-making, so the plan There is a slight deviation.
The history of this world has changed slightly because of the appearance of Shen Yangmei, but the general trend has not changed in any way because of Shen Yangmei, an unexpected visitor. On August 19, 1991, the TASS News Agency first broadcast the Soviet leader's statement, announcing to the world: In view of Gorbachev's inability to perform the duties of President of the Soviet Union due to his health, Vice President Yanayev will resign from August 1991. He began to perform the duties of President of the Soviet Union on September 19. Then the eight-member list of the "National Emergency Committee" headed by Yanayev was announced.
At 9:00 a.m. on August 19, hundreds of armored vehicles poured into the center of Moscow. Long columns of tanks occupied positions near major traffic arteries, squares and important state institutions, and then surrounded the Russian Federal Parliament and government buildings. . Subsequently, the Emergency Committee issued a proclamation to the people of the Soviet Union and other documents, announcing that it would take over all power of the country, cancel freedom of the press, and call on the people to rise up and save the motherland. At 11:30, Russian President Yeltsin held a press conference at the White House and read out a letter to Russian citizens, claiming that the implementation of the state of emergency was an anti-constitutional reactionary coup; the emergency committee was an unconstitutional organization, and its members committed state crimes, and all its decisions and The orders are illegal and invalid on Russian territory; those who implement the emergency committee's instructions must be held criminally accountable; Russian citizens are called on to give due response to the rebels and put the country back on the normal and legal path of development. The "August 19th Incident" that shocked the world in modern history reached its climax.
Shen raised his eyebrows, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath. My heart, which had been uneasy for several months, was finally at peace. After heaving a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't expect that the article caused a heated debate in China. If this heated debate were noticed by the Soviets, I wonder if it would affect their decision-making. If one of my articles really changed the Soviet people's planned plans and caused history to take a completely different path, I would really be able to hide my face and cry bitterly. Fortunately, nothing like this happened.??event. However, you should pay more attention in the future and avoid making remarks that are too forward-thinking, lest an unpredictable butterfly effect occur due to yourself as an unstable factor, and the established history deviates from the original track.
