Revolution 1938

Chapter 43 The Chairman's Dinner

() Mao Runze's current residence is at Wu's Kiln Courtyard at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. This was originally Zhang Teli's residence, but after Mao Runze's former wife Longan came back from Luochuan, she always disliked Li's Kiln where she used to live. The courtyard was too humid, so Zhang Teli specially asked for this Wujiayao courtyard.It's a pity that Longan himself still couldn't continue to endure hardships in Yan'an with Mao Runze, and then went to the Soviet Union for the reason of recuperating, leaving Mao Runze alone in Yan'an. <, the sun went down late, and because the cave was relatively narrow, Mao Runze specially asked the guards to move the dining table outside, and then hung a few oil lamps on the persimmon tree at the entrance for lighting.

After Mao Runze returned to the yard and sat there for a while, Jin Cheng brought Xia Hai'an and Li Kaixin into the yard.When Mao Runze saw someone coming, he hurriedly held back the cigarette butt in his hand to meet him.

"Our gods are here, welcome, welcome!"

"Salute!" Seeing the founder of the Republic they dreamed of, the two excitedly saluted together.

"Okay, okay, sit, sit, you're welcome, I don't care about it here!"

"Chairman, it's a pleasure to meet you old man. Commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Xia Hai'an (Li Kaixin, Political Commissar of the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army) reports to you."

"Hahaha, I'm not old yet, how can I bear it if you call me an old man like that!"

"Hehe, Chairman, to us, you are in the same grade as our parents."

"Haha, we ** people don't care about seniority, we only talk about grades, you guys are probably older than me now, we still address each other as comrades, come on, come on, don't stand up, everyone sit, sit down"

After the two sat down, Mao Runze personally picked up a clay pot from the side and filled it up for each of them, "Come on, this is a local specialty of Yan'an, rice wine made from small yellow rice, everyone, try it and see how it fits together." Not to taste.

"Chairman, you're welcome, we don't care."

"Haha, the place you came to is not what my old Mao can imagine. I am afraid that he has already arrived at what Engels said was extremely rich in supplies. Our current Yan'an is in a stage of extremely poor supplies. There is really nothing to treat you to eat." After a meal, the only thing that can be talked about is the local yellow rice wine."

"Chairman, although we could eat whatever we wanted in those days, both we and our soldiers still liked a bowl of noodles for dinner most of the time."

"Oh, this noodle is probably a good thing."

"Hehe, it's not lah, it's the simplest food in our era, you can eat it with hot water, no need to toss."

"Haha, I understand. We have nothing to eat, and you really have nothing to eat. Do you think I am right?"

The two looked at each other, and then they laughed loudly, "Although the chairman is not from our time, the ability to analyze problems is really strong, and he thought of it as soon as he thought about it."

"Haha, don't flatter me, I've watched your movie "Road to Revival" twice in the past two days, and I can basically recite it. Come on, come on, don't talk too much, This braised pork is what you want to eat. Master Dong’s craftsmanship is still very good. After so many years, his favorite is his braised pork. With your help, my old Mao hasn’t eaten meat for three months. I'm so hungry"

While talking, Mao Runze's chef Lao Dong had already brought up a bowl full of braised pork and boiled potatoes. Under the light of the oil lamp, the hot braised pork gave off an attractive oily shine.Mao Runze, who hadn't tasted meat for several months, hurriedly asked the two to move their chopsticks.

"Hey, Chairman, I, Lao Dong, haven't cooked meat in almost three months. I almost forgot how to cook it. Don't blame me, Lao Dong, if the cooking is not good today."

"Haha, how could it be? Meat is the best, and the taste is not important."

With Master Dong's teasing, the strangeness among the few people at the dinner table gradually disappeared, and the three chatted and laughed as they moved their chopsticks, and they were no longer so restrained.

"Comrade Hai'an, although I have watched your movie, I still want to ask you, how did you evaluate us old revolutionaries at that time."

"To you, Chairman, you have always been our role models."

"Hehe, there is no need to say such good things, there are only the three of us here, there is no one else, can we say anything.

I have also watched the movie you gave, and it was too polite to my old Mao, not to mention the series of things before and after the liberation of the whole country, which made me completely lose confidence in my original ideas in the past two days up.But I can also see that this film has been edited, so I still want to ask your thoughts. "

After saying this, Mao Runze put down his chopsticks, lit another cigarette for himself and started smoking.

Li Kaixin thought for a moment, then said.

"Chairman, I don't know how to say these things. For me, I don't think there is anything wrong with your subsequent decisions, but it is undeniable that you still have something to consider.

First of all, it has not considered the issue of inner-party supervision, but believes too much in the self-purification ability of the workers, just like what many so-called public elites in our era said, how ridiculous it is to supervise themselves.

Although I understand that the chairman came from the war era, he absolutely believes in the revolutionary comrades who fought together, but you have forgotten whether the second or third generation of workers can still do what you ask conscious.

People in later generations will misunderstand or criticize your decision in one way or another. It has to be said that the new generation of workers at that time lost the qualities that a real worker should have. They have no criticism or self-criticism at all. With such courage, he couldn't even control his own selfish desires.

So they gradually become bureaucrats, philistines, greedy, and then corrupt, corrupt, overstaffed, and bureaucracy emerged one after another. For the people, they have no ability to distinguish, they will only stick to it and think it is a doctrine Something went wrong, something went wrong with the system.

The second point is that most of our cadres and people lack the proper level of education. The series of economic failures after liberation are not the mistakes of your elders, but most of the middle and lower-level workers and government officials. There is almost no complete view of natural science.

Therefore, they will have errors in understanding many government policies, and even ignore the basic natural logic, and make all kinds of jokes. This situation is slightly better in coastal cities. Why, that is because there The people in China still have some level of education and logical thinking ability in general, and the people in the coastal areas pay more attention to education, so the cadres there are not easy to make mistakes in policy understanding.

However, in Northwest China, North China and other inland areas, the educational atmosphere and the concept of natural scientific development are almost in a serious shortage. All can be summed up as a result of differences in local education levels. "

"I'm afraid that these problems were further exacerbated in the following ten years of turmoil. Although most of the current cadres are not well-educated, I believe they still have a level of basic values ​​and logical ability. Otherwise, It was impossible to survive the war years, after all, it was all the wrong decisions I made after liberation that made these problems worse."

Hearing Mao Runze's comment, Xia Hai'an and Li Kaixin were silent. They didn't know what to say about these problems. After all, they were not witnesses, so they couldn't tell the real problem.

After a long silence, the dishes on the table were already cold. After Mao Runze pinched off the cigarette in his hand, he called Lao Dong, who was waiting in the far kitchen, to come over and warm up the dishes.At this moment, Xia Hai'an finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"Chairman, I don't know how to evaluate these things. After all, according to my age, I haven't experienced those years. I was still young at that time, and I didn't understand anything.

But according to our views on future generations, all those who have seriously thought about the development of this country are sure that the Labor Party is great. Why, take my nephew's words, from 1949 to 2016 The last few decades are the 60 years that China has been open.

Chairman, do you know what cheating means? It means cheating. It means that we have achieved things that are almost unimaginable in other countries, whether it is the integration of the national economy when it was first liberated, or the repulsion of the United States led by the United States in North Korea. , Not to mention the two bombs and one satellite in difficult times.

That is to say, it took more than 60 years to realize the reality of the world's second largest economic scale and industrial scale, which is already a process that people all over the world can't imagine.My nephew kept asking me how people in those days gave up everything for their country, which was totally unbelievable to them.

So, let me say, Chairman, you are leading a group of the greatest people. It is you who have saved the Chinese people from the dire straits. It is you who have laid the most solid foundation for our future generations of Chinese people. Contribute to our happy life with our own life.

So in the future, there will be people like my nephew called Ziganwu, who will voluntarily wave the flag for this great country and be proud of everything this country has done.All those who have carefully read the history of our republic will spontaneously support this country from the bottom of their hearts, so this is why we have asked for re-establishment as soon as we come to this era.

I, Xia Haian, am a straight-forward person. I just want to tell you, Chairman, that we have brought history here. I believe that the wisdom of the Chairman and all the seniors can use these materials to avoid those unforeseen problems.

My command team and I are almost all pure soldiers or pure scientific workers. We are not good at politics, nor are we capable of doing political work, let alone the strategic vision we should have.I hope that Zhong Yang will accept our proposal, and let us focus on destroying Little Japan and the reactionaries, and establish our republic on the land of China ten years earlier, so that our people can straighten their backs faster. "

Xia Hai'an spoke out what he wanted to say in one breath of excitement, and then drank the wine in front of his door in one gulp, the blush on his face was not sure whether it was because of excitement or because of the wine.

Mao Runze, who had been listening silently, lit another cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and looked up at the stars in the sky.Slightly nodded.Did not say anything else.
