After the Standing Committee meeting ended, Li Guosheng returned directly to his office with great results.
Li Zongren and Yan Xishan, who had experienced the first Standing Committee meeting, walked into Li Guosheng's office one after another.
Seeing the smile on Li Guosheng's face, Li Zongzhi said directly: "Commander-in-Chief, I really didn't expect that you would give them such a hand at the Standing Committee. It is completely unexpected. Not only did it allow us to master the situation after the reorganization of the troops, Military power also allows us to control the country's economic power"
Li Guosheng¡¯s face, which was full of smile just now, was suddenly covered with a trace of helplessness from the heart.
After a long sigh, he replied to Li Zongren: "Brother De Lin, although military power is important, it is not safe to rely solely on such a talisman. If we add economic power, we will become completely worry-free. Don't I can¡¯t guarantee that, at least in the next ten years, the country will not be out of our control.¡±
"Ten years is enough time for us to complete the layout of the entire country. By then, Commander-in-Chief, you plan to take office directly without any hindrance" Li Zongren answered with great approval, with an expression of expectation on his face.
Li Guosheng shook his head and said: "I don't have any plans to take the position for the time being If the opportunity comes to us ten years later and we want to take the position, it will be you and Brother Baichuan who take the position first. As for me, a junior, there is still plenty of time, no Need to rush for a while.¡±
Hearing Li Guosheng¡¯s answer, Li Zongren¡¯s eyes flashed with a strange look.
From the position of chairman of the interim government to chairman of the CPPCC, although he is still the chairman, but. There is an essential difference between the two. The chairman of the government can represent the entire country and is a symbol of the country's highest power. As the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he can only represent at most one agency under the government.
Although on the surface it seemed that Li Zongren was not concerned about this change. However, for a person of his status, honor is obviously valued above all else. As long as there is a chance, Li Zongren will definitely sit in the great man's current position at all costs.
Looking at Li Guosheng, regardless of his identity, he directly asked Li Guosheng with full expectations: "Commander-in-Chief, what you said is true. Brother Baichuan and I really have a chance to sit in that position"
"Of course" Li Guosheng affirmed loudly.
¡°It will be clearly written in the constitution to be drafted. The country¡¯s top leader can only serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. After the term is over, he must voluntarily resign from all positions and retire to prevent the country from entering a dictatorship"
"The three of us have worked together for ten years, and it can be said that our influence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. By then, after this leadership team is pushed back, Brother De Lin is fully capable of passing the National People's Congress election and serving as the chairman of the government for two terms. Liu Fang Hundreds of lives.¡±
After finishing speaking, Li Guosheng smiled at Yan Xishan and said: "As for Brother Baichuan, after working with Brother Delin for such a long time, I am fully capable of serving as prime minister for two more terms in ten years."
¡°In fact, there is still something in Li Guosheng¡¯s heart that he has not said out loud. He will wait until he officially takes office in the future. Deng Gong, who has not yet fully emerged in the Red Party, will definitely be his best partner, that is, the best choice for prime minister. And the twenty years in front of us. It was a process of experience and learning between myself and Deng Gong.
Just as the excited smiles on the faces of Li Guosheng and Li Zongren became thicker and thicker, Yan Xishan, who had suffered losses in front of the Red Party, suddenly said. His face was full of worry.
"Commander-in-Chief, Brother De Lin. Confidence is self-confidence, don't underestimate them"
"Although the initiative to issue new coins is in my hands, Chen Yun, who they sent as my deputy, will obviously be involved. Needless to say, we also know the reason why they launched Chen Yun, which is to divide me power, inserting their own people in the bank and the future Ministry of Finance"
Li Guosheng comforted him with an indifferent expression: "Brother Baichuan, you filtered"
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the government that is still in the preparatory stage, let¡¯s talk about our current interim government. Once we lose the two sources of funding from overseas and banks, do you think the government and the military can continue to operate?¡±
Yan Xishan's eyes lit up and he asked thoughtfully: "Chief, what do you mean"
"As long as you hold the main financial source in your hands. As for the Minister of Finance, if they want it, it doesn't matter if you give it to them. Without money, the Minister of Finance has no other role except a nice name" Li Guosheng said with a sly smile. answer.
Seeing that Yan Xishan had not fully reacted, Li Guosheng continued directly: "My opinion is that before the first government is established, overseas assets should be separated from government finances. Not only that, the China Central Government that has been establishedThe Central People's Bank of China must be staffed by our own people and be in our own hands. First, let He Lian be wronged and let him serve as bank president. "
"As for the overseas assets separated from the government, they are hosted in the People's Bank of China in the name of Ludong Foreign Trade Company, and are managed by He Lian"
"In addition, we cannot just watch them install their own people in various major departments of the future government. The chairman and Duke Zhou can only use those people within the party for the time being, but we have huge resources across the country."
"My idea is that Brother De Lin and Brother Baichuan will immediately mobilize all their connections to bring all talented people from all over the country under our command and place them in various government departments."
"If you want to form a government to manage a population of hundreds of millions, it cannot be solved by tens of thousands of people. Therefore, we should take this opportunity to install our own people. As long as the other party is talented and finds a way to develop these people into the party, The other party won¡¯t have any objections, just go ahead and do it.¡±
Seeing the two people nodding in agreement, Li Guosheng continued.
"Besides this, there is another way to increase our influence, which must be done by you, Brother De Lin"
¡°On the surface, the CPPCC that is about to be established will have no real power, but if we make good use of it, it can also bring us some unexpected results, especially at this stage when the government has just been established.¡±
"Brother De Lin, you need to make good use of your influence across the country and bring all influential tasks to the CPPCC. Give them the status of a CPPCC member, or even a member of the Standing Committee. Tie them to our chariot temporarily. After the government is established, in order to give an explanation to these people and the forces behind them, the newly formed government will definitely arrange other tasks for them"
"Although these jobs may not give them too much real power, the position is there after all. And with the position, there will be influence, and we can use this influence to step by step expand our influence within the party and the government. Strength, prepare for future general elections"
After saying that, Li Guosheng¡¯s face became serious.
He continued to his two partners: "I will not return to Shenyang for a long time. Therefore, if you have anything to do during this period, you can discuss it among yourself. If you really can't solve it, you can contact her by radio through the password .¡±
"Commander-in-Chief, do you want to" Li Zongren asked.
"You take care of the government affairs, and of course I will take care of the military affairs If you do this for three more days, I will lead the guard division south into Shaanxi and Gansu, reorganize all the Red Army units, and solve this problem that may happen at any time. The crux of the matter that threatens our dominance in the military."
When Li Guosheng and the other three were discussing their future in the office, Chairman. Zhou Gong, Liu Gong, Ren Gong, plus voluntarily resigned from the Standing Committee. Mr. Zhu, who will soon serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army and commander-in-chief of the army. All five people sat in the chairman's office with solemn faces and said nothing.
Among the five people, Mr. Zhu, who has the most straightforward personality, was the first to speak to break the increasingly silent atmosphere in the office.
"Okay. Did you just hold a Standing Committee meeting not long ago? Why do you feel like a bored gourd when you come backOld Mao. You are our leader, you tell me. What happened at the meeting? What happened to you? Depressed.¡±
The great man took a deep breath on the cigarette and shook his head and said: "Enlai, it's up to you to speak"
Under Zhou Gong¡¯s concise introduction, the whole meeting process was like a movie, quickly appearing in front of the boss.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu not only did not show any bitterness on his face, but instead laughed at several old partners and said: "I thought something had happened, but it turned out that I was frowning just for the sake of economic power"
Duke Zhou, who was about to become Prime Minister, frowned and retorted loudly to the boss: "Boss, economic power is not a trivial matter. In the future government, if we cannot grasp economic power and have no money, we will not be able to do anything, let alone Develop the country¡¯s economy.¡±
Liu Gong followed up and said in support: "You are right. Without economic power, we can't do anything. And Comrade Guosheng, who has economic power, can flex his muscles in the future government and expand them step by step. Influence in the future government. Our influence will be correspondingly smaller and smaller. If this trend continues, the achievements of us old comrades who have worked hard for half a lifetime will not be in vain and come at the expense of Comrade Guosheng and others"
After hearing this, the smile on the boss's face still did not change at all, and he said with a nonchalant expression: "Lao Mao, En Lai, and you two, I think we all overestimate our own strength. Although Comrade Li Guosheng leads the National Defense Force as a whole Join our party, but you cannotIt is recognized that the overall strength of the National Defense Forces not only exceeds that of our party, but also far exceeds that of our party. "
"Comrade Li Guosheng's decision to join our party shows that Li Guosheng is a very open-minded person. He will never do anything detrimental to us for personal gains and losses, so-called selfish interests and ambitions"
Seeing that everyone looked much better, the boss continued without hesitation: "Besides, we know our own family background well. Even if Comrade Li Guosheng does not fight for this financial power and lets one of our people serve as the Minister of Finance, will we have money" "
"It is no exaggeration to say that when the provinces are unable to make ends meet, the reason why the National Defense Forces can develop and grow is almost all the foreign exchange earned by Li Guosheng from overseas. To put it in a more ugly word, the National Defense Forces consume a large amount of funds every year , are all assets earned by Comrade Li Guosheng from overseas."
"After the government was established, even if Comrade Li Guosheng took away all the money, we would have nothing to say. Because he did not use the national property for his own use, but took back the property that should belong to him"
"After losing such a large chunk of income from overseas, in the face of the reorganized People's Liberation Army of more than one million people, can we guarantee that after taking control of the national finance and economy, we will immediately provide sufficient funds to meet the needs of the army"
A wry smile quickly appeared on the great man's face.
After a long sigh, he said to himself: "Thanks to the boss's reminder. Otherwise, a few of us would have gone astray We always think that Comrade Li Guosheng is coming to seize power from us. In fact, this is not the case. Now Li Guosheng has already It's our comrade. As long as he has no selfish motives and is doing it for this country, our little contribution is nothing"
"Comrade Li Guosheng can let go of his future as the country's supreme leader and take the initiative to join our party and serve as my deputy. Why can't we give up our prejudices and give him a good hand Don't forget that Comrade Li Guosheng is only three years old now. At ten years old, he still has a long way to go. The future of our party and the entire country may be entrusted to him."
After finishing speaking, he gave a serious order to Duke Zhou: "Comrade Enlai, when you get down, tell Comrade Chen Yun that he will cooperate with Comrade Yan Xishan to issue banknotes nationwide and dominate the national economy. You are not asking him to cooperate with Comrade Yan Xishan." To seize power, but to learn and truly help Comrade Yan Xishan"
The few people sitting here are undoubtedly big figures who can influence China in later generations. They not only have high political acumen, but also have high comprehension ability.
From the soliloquy of the chairman in front of you, everyone can feel: In front of Li Guosheng, who has an absolute advantage. The chairman did not have the slightest courage to fight, because the gains outweighed the losses, so the chairman compromised.
Not only that, the chairman sitting in front of him actually planned to make Li Guosheng the successor of the Red Party and the entire country.
Just when everyone was about to raise objections. Mr. Zhu, who was most familiar with the Chairman, stood up again and said: "I completely agree with the Chairman's decision Let's not talk about Comrade Li Guosheng's influence in the country. Li Guosheng's experience in leading the National Defense Forces along the way is enough to shoulder the entire responsibility. national responsibility."
"In addition. Comrade Guosheng is now just thirty years old and is already a member of the Political Standing Committee. Ten years from now. When we old guys all resign, should we let him in his prime also resign with us?"
"At that time. Whether we are willing or not, Comrade Li Guosheng is the best candidate for the country's supreme leader in the future. So I think that instead of pushing Li Guosheng to the opposite side of us, it is better to support Comrade Li Guosheng from now on. For the sake of The future of our Red Party is also for the future of the entire country.¡±
"Judging from my observations during this period, I fully believe in Comrade Li Guosheng's character. Even if he borrows the top leadership of the country in the future, he will not do anything detrimental to our party, and will also lead our party , lead the entire country to develop in a better direction"
"Because I always remember what Comrade Li Guosheng once said to me. Like him, we all have the same goal, and we will sacrifice our lives for the prosperity of this country"
"What kind of ambition can such a person have"
"So, I am sure that even if Comrade Li Guosheng seizes power from us, it is for the sake of this country. There is an indisputable fact that I hope everyone can understand: Compared with the governing leadership capabilities of Li Guosheng's officials, we are not comparable at all, and it is very Childish. Not surprisingly, Comrade Li Guosheng is also very worried that after all power is handed over to us at once, the entire country will take many detours under our leadership."
Although Mr. Zhu¡¯s words were unpleasant to hear, everyone listened and agreed with them from the bottom of their hearts.
So?, everyone's expressions seemed to have suddenly been discussed, and they became calm at the same time.
After casting a grateful look at Mr. Zhu, the chairman said again: "This matter is settled. Not only that, we are all the elders of Comrade Li Guosheng, so in the next work, we can give If Comrade Li Guosheng supports him, we must support him. Because I always have a feeling that no matter what time, Comrade Li Guosheng's vision is farther than ours, and his vision is more accurate"
"Yes, Chairman" several people replied in unison.
At this moment, Mr. Zhu spoke again: "Chairman, if nothing else happens, in the next few days, Comrade Li Guosheng will go south to Shaanxi and Gansu with me to reorganize 50,000 Red Army troops Do you want to see if the entire reorganization process is really real?" According to what we originally discussed with Li Guosheng, all commanders will be integrated into the military academy and reinstated."
"What do you think" The chairman did not answer, but asked with a smile.
"If I had not come to Shenyang, I would definitely oppose this proposal, thinking that all Red Army commanders have experienced the test of war. However, after coming to Shenyang and watching the training of the National Defense Forces guard troops, I discovered that our Red Army is really behind the times. Mr. Zhu said after a long sigh.
"If these commanders are not sent back to military academies for further study, even if they are sent to serve as commanders of any field infantry regiment of the National Defense Force, they will not have that ability. What's more, the reorganized People's Liberation Army not only has ordinary field infantry, but also Mechanized infantry, armored troops that we have never seen before"
"So, I fully support this proposal. But as a result, I am worried that the number of commanders who will successfully graduate from the military academy will be less than 20% of the original number After all, the cultural foundation of our Red Army commanders at all levels is there. , many people can¡¯t even write other than their own names¡±
After a brief reflection, the chairman made a decisive decision: "We have given up economic power and military power, so let's not fight about this trivial matter. Besides, even for the sake of the future of these commanders, in order to allow them to better adapt to the future War, this level must be passed. Otherwise, even if we shamelessly send them into the army, they will be laughed at." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
