Gu Mingfan, Deputy Minister of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, is a well-known character general.
The international media's positioning of General Gu calls him a hawk among the hawks of the Republic.
On more than one occasion, General Gu broke violent news and fired big shots at a press conference.
Especially during the confrontation between the Republic of China and the United States in the mid-1990s, General Gu served as the commander of the southern Lingnan Military Region at that time. In an interview with the media, he made it clear that the Lingnan Military Region was ready for all battles and could go into battle anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, he also stated forcefully that if he were allowed to command the war against the United States, his first strike would destroy the entire Pacific Fleet.
His speech at that time caused an uproar at home and abroad, and then the U.S. intelligence agency suddenly discovered that two strategic submarines stationed at the Lingnan Military Port disappeared from satellite images.
For a time, there was great tension within the US military. The US Department of Defense couldn't wait to order its fleet to retreat a hundred nautical miles, and asked them to be on high alert for the military forces in the south of the Republic at all times.
It was precisely because of that tough statement that General Gu began to become famous at home and abroad.
Later, when Gu Mingfan was appointed to the Military Commission, he often made shocking remarks.
When faced with threats to the motherland's maritime rights and interests, he said that a cannonball might be more effective than negotiation to solve the problem.
His words at that time aroused fear in several countries, especially some shady countries that hoped to embrace the United States. After General Gu's talk, his arrogance was reduced a lot.
Not only for weak and small countries, but also for some hegemonic countries. Ancient people also dare to speak harsh words.
In response to the military provocation of the United States against the Republic, he famously said that there will be no crisis between the Republic and the United States because the seniors of the US military will warn their descendants to respect them. The Republic and the United States have fought against each other. This period of history is the history of those who were
The best sobering agent for provocateurs who are overwhelmed by hegemony.
Gu Mingfan's speech is said to have angered the president of the United States at the time. He said that this was the most severe provocation by Gu Mingfan. However, in the end, the matter was settled and the United States did not dare to publicly respond to Gu Mingfan's speech.
.
That is to say, through all these, Gu Mingfan is considered by the outside world to be an absolute hawk on the Republican side.
Chen Jing is going to pay a formal and grand visit to Gu Mingfan this time. He met Gu Mingfan once last time, but that time he was prepared in a hurry. This time he specially prepared a gift.
Gu Mingfan is one of the two leading figures in the Northwest Department. The other leading figure, Wen Zhuonan, will retire in one year at most. After Wen Zhuonan retired, for a long time, Gu Mingfan
Fan became the only prominent figure in the Northwest Department.
Currently, Fang Luping is expected to represent the new generation of the northwest department.
However, Fang Luping encountered many difficulties in Liaodong. He wants to break through Liaodong and take a further step, but the time may not be ripe yet.
Fortunately, Fang Luping is still young and still has a chance, but before that, Fang Luping is destined not to become a real leader in the Northwest Department.
Gu Mingfan lives in Bayi Villa, and Chen Jing has been there once. The building No. 18 where he lives is very inconspicuous. This season, the walls outside the building are covered with ivy vines, and the leaves are withered. The vines are still there, and this
Make the house look old and traditional.
Entering the courtyard, the environment is as clean and quiet as before.
The orderlies of Gu Mingfan's family were very energetic. Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi entered the courtyard, and two orderlies on the left and right gave them a standard military salute.
A tall man on the left said: "The chief is waiting for you two in the living room!"
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi looked at each other, and Fang Wanqi smiled and said: "Chen Jing, we are both leaders today. It feels good! Uncle Gu likes this the most!"
Although Chen Jing had met Gu Mingfan once, he was still a little excited today.
Gu Mingfan was sitting in the living room, and he was the only one in Nuo Da's living room.
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi entered, and they said almost at the same time: "Uncle Gu!"
Gu Mingfan looked up at the two of them, his serious face gradually softened, and said: "Wanqi, are you here? Sit down!"
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi sat on the sofa politely, and an orderly served tea to them.
Gu Mingfan stared at Chen Jing and said with a smile: "You are so lucky. Wanqi is a nice girl. You have to treat her well, do you know?"
Chen Jing nodded and said: "Definitely!"
Gu Mingfan moved his eyes away, stared at Fang Wanqi and said: "I'm really sighing. You little girl has grown up and is getting married. How can we not grow old? The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the old generation is replaced by the new one.
, this natural law is irresistible!”
Fang Wanqi smiled and said: "Uncle Gu, please don't sigh! We are here to treat you to a wedding banquet today, not to listen to you lament about life!"
Gu Mingfan was stunned for a moment, stared at Fang Wanqi and said, "Wanqi, did you go to Uncle Fang's place before you came to my place?"
Fang Wanqi said obediently: "I will naturally be the first to arrive at Uncle Gu's side. Uncle Gu, you are the one who loves me the most!"
Gu Mingfan laughed heartily and said: "Even if you girl has a conscience, I loved you in vain when you were a child. Okay, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely attend your wedding!"
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi were stunned at the same time.
Isn’t this too much of a favor?
What is Gu Mingfan's identity? As a senior leader of the Military Commission, how many things do he need to deal with in a day? How busy is his schedule?
Although he and Fang Wanqi are descendants of the Fang family, how many third generations are there in the Fang family?
If everyone's wedding can disturb Gu Mingfan to attend, it will definitely be a lot of pressure for him.
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi came to visit Gu Mingfan as a courtesy. They never thought that Gu Mingfan would attend their wedding. It would be nice if Gu Mingfan could send someone to send blessings. Generally, three generations of disciples of the Fang family are treated this way.
Fang Wanqi was the first to react. She said happily: "Uncle Gu, are you serious about this? If you are serious, thank you so much. Chen Jing and I are very flattered!"
Gu Mingfan smiled cheerfully and said: "How can this be false? I always tell the truth!"
Chen Jingdao: "Thank you so much, Uncle Gu, for being able to attend Wanqi and I's wedding, which added a lot of color to our wedding!"
Gu Mingfan stared at Chen Jing and said: "Xiao Chen, getting married is a major event in life, and it is a top priority for you. Your father-in-law has high expectations for you, and hopes that you can work harder in your future work and not let down the expectations of your elders!
"
Chen Jing nodded and said: "Life is endless and struggle is endless. I will work hard and live up to the organizational culture!"
Gu Mingfan nodded and suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, Xiao Chen, are you familiar with Secretary Sha Mingde of Northern Jiangsu?"
Chen Jing was stunned. He did not expect Gu Mingfan to say this. He pondered for a moment and said: "Secretary Sha is my old leader. I have been in contact with him many times, so I am relatively familiar with him!"
Gu Mingfan picked up the tea cup and said nothing. Chen Jing was only a deputy department cadre when he was in Chujiang.
At that time, Sha Mingde was the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. The distance between the two was thousands of miles apart. The only explanation for Chen Jing's opportunity to have many contacts with Sha Mingde was that Chen Jing was very fond of him when he was in Chujiang.
He is famous and has a special relationship with Sha Mingde, otherwise there is no reason.
Gu Mingfan's mention of Sha Mingde was not without purpose.
Now Gulinfeng is developing in southern Jiangsu. Although the overall development is not bad, there are still some difficulties.
The distance between the first and second leaders in a city is quite large. Gu Linfeng is now the mayor, and it is still difficult for him to take over the position of municipal party committee secretary based on his qualifications.
The northwest faction's strength in northern Jiangsu was relatively weak. Gu Linfeng was unable to get direct support from the faction, and he was still somewhat isolated and helpless in northern Jiangsu.
On the one hand, Gu Linfeng has insufficient qualifications, and on the other hand, he is unfamiliar with the place. Combining these two reasons, the resistance to Gu Linfeng's development in northern Jiangsu is still considerable.
And now he is a young talent cultivated by the Northwest Department, and he is the leader of the Northwest Department.
How to find ways to give Gu Linfeng more support is something Gu Mingfan has been thinking about. He asked about the relationship between Chen Jing and Sha Mingde because of these considerations.
Chen Jing has always been very keen on politics, and he quickly discerned Gu Mingfan's intentions.
But he couldn't say anything about this question. Who was Secretary Sha Mingde? If he were to develop in northern Jiangsu, he would definitely be a big supporter.
But how much does Gu Linfeng have to do with me? How can I help him introduce Secretary Sha Mingde?
There was such a big difference in identity, but Chen Jing still had some self-awareness, so even though he understood what Gu Mingfan meant, he couldn't express his opinion.
Gu Mingfan also understood the key, he just asked and then stopped talking about the topic.
Chen Jing pondered for a long time and said: "Secretary Sha is good at playing golf. Generally speaking, he is a very authoritative and courageous leader. He has a good reputation in Chujiang and everyone below him is convinced of him!"
Gu Mingfan nodded and said: "Yes, I have also heard of him. He is a good cadre. He may be able to go further at the Party Congress next year..."
Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat. What could Secretary Sha do further?
Chen Jing took a deep breath, and his heart instantly became a little messy. Such messiness made no sense.
Logically speaking, whether Sha Mingde can go further is really far away from him, but when Gu Mingfan mentioned this, his heart skipped a beat and he became a little confused...
He picked up the tea and tasted it carefully. After a while, he understood the reason for his confusion...
He has been developing in Lingnan this year and has put too much thought into his work, so that he does not have much energy to take care of those old relationships in Chujiang.
He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake!
Human feelings, human feelings need to be moved around frequently. Your roots are in Chujiang. You should never ignore the people and things in Chujiang. There are your own teachers, your own friends, and your own past...
Almost in an instant, he made an astonishing decision. He decided to take a trip back to Chujiang in his busy schedule while he was preparing for the wedding.
Even if I come and go in a hurry, even if I just take a look at the Chujiang River, the meaning to me is so different.
That is my real home...(To be continued...)
