Mr. An's gentle voice sounded like thunder from the sky to Xue Xiang's ears!
Xue Xiang, who has carefully studied party history and military history, knows the weight of this position very well. Historically, the entire Southern Campaign mobilized a total of more than 600,000 troops, and these more than 600,000 troops were divided into two fronts: east and west, and two fronts.
The commanders are all Generals 5 and 5,
As for the deputy commander, the one with the most seniority among the commanders of the major military regions was appointed. Although Xue Anyuan is also a fifth-level general, in terms of seniority and current position, it is definitely a bit groundbreaking to be able to reach that position all of a sudden.
After Mr. An finished speaking, Xue Xiang remained silent for a long time. At this moment, although there were many clues in his mind, they were all sorted out very clearly. He knew that Mr. An alone could not push Xue Anyuan away by himself under any circumstances.
Get in that seat
Yes, there must be the reason of the old chief. It must be that Mr. An pushed hard, got the approval of the old chief, and finally passed it. Of course, this does not mean that Mr. An’s recommendation is not important, on the contrary, it is really important.
.
Because the old leader's current status has almost transcended the shackles of factions, his eyes are naturally on controlling the overall situation, maintaining balance, and taking into account the interests of all aspects. It is impossible for him to be petty and stick to one faction, let alone here.
At critical moments, he favors those who clearly have his own brand. Moreover, Xue Anyuan is under the old chief's command, and he can't judge by position or closeness.
He was not the most outstanding one. It was impossible for the old chief to fall in love with him at first glance. But at this moment, Mr. An stood up and opened his mouth. How could the big guys at the meeting not know where Xue Anyuan came from, and worry about the old chief's face.
He was incapable of restraining himself, and Mr. Qi'an's recommendation just gave the old chief the opportunity to push the boat forward. Therefore, Xue Anyuan's rather bizarre appointment was passed without any surprises.
But he said that Mr. An pushed Xue Anyuan, and at the same time he gave up part of his own interests. After all, everything requires a balance, and it is impossible for Mr. An to push a deputy commander and appoint a few generals. After thinking about this,
Only then did Xue Xiang understand. No wonder Xue Anyuan didn't forget to call and ask him to come to thank Dafa when he was presiding over the exercise. He really owed Dafa this kindness!
Xue Xiang's soul traveled to later generations, but he knew that after the Southern Expedition, the Republic had never used weapons for nearly half a century. Since then, it can be said that the swords and guns were put into the warehouse and the horses were released in Nanshan. For the common people, it opened a prosperous era.
, but for soldiers on the battlefield, it completely ended the years of burning passion. Moreover, this southern expedition was almost a sure-win situation. In terms of reward after the war, it is unclear what kind of honor a deputy commander can get.
Even though Xue Xiang's thoughts were spinning, this thought took a long time. Several times Old Wang wanted to respond, but Mr. An stopped him with his eyes.
Suddenly, a trace of bright blue sparks burst out from the brazier. The hissing sound and the flickering charcoal fire pulled Xue Xiang out of his thoughts, "Old man, I..."
Before, he didn't know why Xue Anyuan asked him to come to express his gratitude and even fight with Mr. An. But at this moment, he already understood the cause and effect, and his heart was full of gratitude. He wanted to say "thank you", but he still couldn't say it.
.
The old man caressed his bald chin and waved his hand: "Okay, don't do this to me, get out of here. My old man is really sleepy."
Xue Xiang stopped laughing and joking. At this moment, he really wanted to digest this amazing good news. He stood up, bowed to the old man, and strode out.
Watching Xue Xiang's tall back disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, Lao Wang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Chief, you recommended Commander Xue at the meeting, what about the people below us? Not to mention others, even Comrade Jiang.
I’m eagerly looking forward to this battle.”
"What are you hoping for? The battle is not so easy to fight. I admit that the recommendation of Xue Anyuan this time has the factor of Xue Xiaoxiao, but I am not a person who abandons public service for personal reasons. First of all, Xue Anyuan is young and powerful, and he was also a famous tiger general in the middle and field.
, don’t think it’s like a lion fighting a rabbit this time when we deal with the Southern Barbarians, but if one of them is not good, the rabbit’s hard bones can knock out the lion’s big teeth. If you don’t choose one, you can chew the hard bones.
Can it be done? Secondly, I also read the "Military Innovation Report" submitted by Xue Anyuan to the Central Military Commission in early October. The mountain operations included in it were simply tailor-made for this southern expedition. It is indeed a report of great significance.
I, the old man, will not feel guilty for having such a brave and resourceful man, both in public and private affairs." The old man stared at the blue fireworks burning in the basin with olive shell charcoal, and said in a very calm tone.
Seeing that the old man's tea cup was empty, Lao Wang took the kettle and filled it up: "Chief, what you said makes sense, but I always feel that you owe Comrade Zai Jiang and the others a little for your nomination this time."
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? I nominated them, are they qualified to take that position?"
Lao Wang was at a loss for words, and Mr. An smiled and said: "You, you are too short-sighted after all. Think about it again, if several young generals are replaced by one handsome man, will it be a loss or a gain?"
Lao Wang stared at the old man's meaningful smile, then looked at the disappearing figure at the door, and also smiled.
………………………
Outside the office, it was snowing heavily. Inside the office, Xue Xiang used an enamel basin to pick up a few pieces of charcoal, which also made the room warm. Of course, with his physique, he was not afraid of the wind and cold, but for a long time
Sitting in front of the case, burying a pen and writing in a hurry, I feel a little uncomfortable after all.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time to get off work. As the annual New Year Festival was approaching, Xue Xiang was making work plans before the festival. Just as he was writing to the place of trance, wow wow wow, cheers came from outside the door,
After listening for a while, Xue Xiang knew that the sound came from the Youth League Committee office not far to the left. Then he saw more than ten people passing by the window in twos and threes carrying a fat white woven bag.
As they passed by, everyone was arrogant and had a spring breeze on their faces, but they didn't even look at Secretary Xue Da under the window. There were even three or five women muttering about who got the extra bucket of oil, who got the fattest pig leg...
Bits and pieces, but Xue Xiang got the general idea that this Youth League Committee office was actually distributing welfare.
To say that there are four directly affiliated organizations under the Youth League Committee, the Youth League Committee office is the Reyamen, which has the smallest number of people, and Liu Gao of the Youth League Committee is the first deputy secretary and is in charge of financial power. Therefore, on weekdays, these departments in the Youth League Committee office
When the members saw comrades from other departments, they all raised their heads a little higher and spoke a little louder. No, the Youth League Committee Office was responsible for welfare, and the Propaganda Department in charge of Xue Xiang didn't hear anything at all.
Sure enough, while Xue Xiangzheng was wondering in this room, Li Li, deputy director of the Propaganda Department, sneaked in sneakily.
Li Li is forty-one this year. He has stayed in the cold yamen of the Youth League Committee for a full ten years. He was just living day to day, not messing with anything, not fighting for power, not grabbing profits, and just hanging around honestly. Little did he know that it was because of Secretary Xue that day.
When he was asked to move the table for a meeting, he took one quick step with his feet and three quick hands. As a result, a super powerful person in charge of finance and document review hit him on the head, completely knocking Zhang Jinsong away.
It can be said that this person can often be calm and calm when he has no power or position, but once power is gained, he will probably not be able to return to his original state of mind and will have to become fanatical. Li Lizheng falls into this category.
Since being assigned by Xue Xiang,
After taking charge of the daily work of the Propaganda Department, Li Li almost worked during the day and at night, at work and at home. He even asked Xue Xiang for instructions in the morning and reported at night. He worked all day long and his eyes were red with excitement.
, even the hair is standing on end.
Li Li sneaked in behind the door and said anxiously: "Secretary, I'm afraid we're in trouble this time. The Youth League Office, Organization Department, and Evaluation Department have all paid their bills, but our Propaganda Department is still empty. I just left."
When I got to the door, I heard Cao Xiaobao and Wang Dajun clamoring inside, saying that everyone else had it but we didn't, blaming the secretary for what they said..."
At this point, Li Li stopped talking. Instead, he took a careful look to see if Secretary Xue, whose words could make him happy and his words bring him down, was angry.
Xue Xiang smiled and answered Li Li's words: "Are you blaming me, Deputy Secretary Xiong, for being incompetent?"
Li Li hurriedly waved his hand and said urgently: "Secretary, don't be like them. They don't know how hard you have worked. They don't even think about it. You have only been in the Youth League Committee for a long time. The mess here has been around for a long time. How can they pass the responsibility to you?"
.There are no outsiders here today, and Secretary, you have shown great kindness to me, Old Li, so I said some things that I shouldn’t have said boldly. If you don’t listen, just think I’m talking nonsense.”
Seeing Li Li's statement, Xue Xiang became interested and wanted to hear what information the old man from the Youth League Committee had to reveal.
Li Lixian closed the open window and said in a low voice: "Secretary, I think what happened today is weird. We are members of the Youth League committee every year, and at the end of the year, we will have some new year's issues, but what?
Our Propaganda Department has been missing every year. I would say this year is because our Propaganda Department has poor efficiency.
So I won’t post it, but wasn’t it the same situation in previous years? Why should we treat it differently this year? I think Secretary Liu Gao must be trying to avoid getting along with you. I saw Zhang Jinsong not coming home from get off work several times in a row. , I have been waiting for Secretary Liu Gao to leave together for a long time, maybe it was this guy who instigated me."
After listening to Li Li's explanation, Xue Xiang felt a lot brighter, but there was still a shadow in his heart. He didn't believe that Deputy Secretary Liu, who was always expressionless, would use such clumsy means to compete with him. After all, there were traces of gouges.
It's too heavy. It's distributed to three of the four major departments, but not to the Propaganda Department. This is simply a child's vindictive method.
Xue Xiang pondered for a moment and asked: "Old Li, go out and ask around to see if the other three offices have issued the same thing?"
Li Li was slightly startled and said: "Secretary, I have inquired clearly. The Youth League Office distributed a two-pound barrel of vegetable oil and a pig's trotter, and the Organization Department issued a fifty-pound bag of rice.
One person from the department shared five kilograms of pork belly, what, secretary, what did you see?"
After asking, Li Li regretted it and secretly scolded himself for talking too much. Even if the leader saw something, did he have the obligation to tell him?
