Chapter 37 The Strange Old Man
It seems that he should be a general when he appears in this courtyard. The honor of a soldier these days is not worthy of a military rank. A group of people of similar age can't tell who is better and younger. You can only tell from his style and age. The person in front of him is definitely at the level of a general in terms of age, and there is also a person like a guard around him.
Sure enough, Company Commander Ye walked forward and gave a standard military salute: "Hello, Commander Yang!"
Old Man Yang didn't even look at it. Corps Ye scratched his head, but his expression seemed helpless on his face. Old Man Yang turned to Li Siming: "What's your name? You have good kung fu, where are you joining the army?"
"Report to the leader, my name is Li Siming, I am an educated youth on Daxing Island, Heilongjiang." Li Siming answered truthfully.
"So you are also an educated youth from Daxing Island!" Old Man Yang looked at the educated youth standing beside him, and then asked, "Do you want to join the army? You have good kung fu, and you need someone like you in the army!"
"Why? It's great to be an educated youth!" Li Siming asked intentionally.
"Oh, this is the first time I have heard of it." Old Man Yang laughed, "Xiao Ye, you let everyone else part, Xiao Li, let's talk."
"My comrades in the Corps are still waiting for me and going to have a dinner together." Li Siming pointed out that the educated youth standing aside were in trouble.
"Ceating is more important than revolutionary work?" Old man Yang looked disdainful and called on Company Commander Ye, "Xiao Ye, go and tell the educated youth and let them eat by themselves." This old man must have never heard of it. His body is the capital of revolution and is domineering enough!
"Little Lizi, you just said that being an educated youth is better than being a soldier. Tell me what's the best?" The old man was about to find a place to sit down, but Company Commander Ye hurriedly sent two horse stools there.
"The leader first talk about it. What are the good things about being a soldier?" Li Siming asked back. Our surname is Li, but it is not "Little Li".
"Oh, you'll get me first. As a soldier, you can accept training. The army is a great reunion. Cowards can become heroes. This is where we men should stay. Second, the army is a good place for good men to kill the enemy and attack immediately. When the country is in trouble, it is also where our soldiers show their skills." Old man Yang talked about the army, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
"Old man, you are right, I admit it. But I have different opinions." Li Siming glanced at the old man and deliberately attacked him, "That's the first thing I admit that the army is a place where one can train a person's will, but we dedicate ourselves to the border, which is also a place where one can train people. Haven't you seen so many people sharpen their heads and drill into the army? What does this mean? The army is freer than being in the army. Don't be angry. Isn't what I said? Otherwise, why can't I see the children of cadres in this courtyard going to the Great Northern Wilderness?
Second, you just said that the army is a place where good men show their skills. Yes, the army is the guarantee of national security and trust in the people. However, our educated youth are clearing land and farming on the border and supporting national construction are also support for the country. Don’t you know the saying: War is the logistics. Besides, revolutionary work is not distinguished from high and low, and all walks of life are making contributions to the country and the people. You will not be able to lift the army so high, which seems to be contrary to the Party Central Committee’s policy of going to the country and going to the country."
Li Siming glanced at the old man. The old man was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at him and said, "You...you" could not speak.
Li Siming quickly apologized: "I'm talking nonsense, you can't be as knowledgeable as me."
"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Now I can't speak the army, so I turn a blind eye to see Marx." The old man continued, "The war you just said was against logistics, which makes sense. Back then, when we fought against the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang, we were dependent on the people. We didn't have planes and trucks to deliver supplies to us, and the people sent us food and ammunition. On the contrary, if the enemy people did not have supplies, they would not be able to fight. The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by the people with small carts. Therefore, the people's war thought is invincible."
"Old man, do I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Young guy, why are you rude like a woman?" the old man glared.
"Don't be upset when I said it." Li Siming really hoped to take this opportunity to publicize his military theory, even though the other party was an old man who lost power. "This people's war idea is a great military idea, and there is no doubt that this is a powerful weapon and ideological guarantee for our army to achieve military victory in the revolutionary war years."
After looking at the old man's expression of nonsense, Li Siming quickly got to the point: "But the times have changed, and the people's war ideas should change."
"Oh, tell me why?" The old man's expression was serious, with an expression of shooting you if you didn't say it clearly. Li Siming actually regretted it a little. If someone heard it, if he didn't judge himself as a counter-revolutionary, the sun would definitely come out from the west.
"First of all, from the perspective of the international situation, large-scale foreign invasion is impossible. The three major powers of China, the Soviet Union and the United States have formed a certain balance, and other countries cannot. Therefore, the current preparation for war preparation and long-term war preparation for nuclear war is not very useful. If foreign enemies do not invade, it is impossible to trap the enemy in the "popular ocean of people's war".
Secondly, our army’s current strategic policy is strategic defense, which I think should be transformed into active defense. Why is it said that because of passive defense, our ultimate loss will be greater than that of the offensive side. Active defense itself is not just a defense, there is attack in defense. It becomes passive and active.
Third, I said, don’t like to listen. I think the current serious situation of swelling, scattered, arrogant, extravagant and lazy Chinese army. Take political studies as an example. The Military Commission said that military training is 37 times in time, but in fact, it is 73 times in the army. Our army is too large, and we still use the tactics of the sea of people. When the army is trained, the commanders in the army are like in the movie. When the charge is played, they rush up and capture positions. How many people died in the Korean battlefield? Of course, our weapons were backward at that time, but now the weapons are becoming more and more advanced and the range of killing is larger. If there is a similar war, how many people are we going to die?
Fourthly, there are many junior high school students, high school students, and college students in our army. I heard that there are many foreign military college degree. Why? Because weapons and equipment are becoming more and more advanced, their culture cannot keep up, and they cannot form combat effectiveness. This requires me to target the current and future development trends of military science and technology, implement elite military strategies, and build a capable and efficient army of a certain scale. The cadre team must be revolutionized, younger, knowledgeable, and professional, attach importance to the application of science and technology in the military, and use "political qualifications, strong military style, excellent style, strict discipline, and strong guarantees" to guide and standardize the quality construction of our army."
Li Siming said a lot in one breath, and the more he said, the smoother he said, he didn't care, he would deal with me as much as he should. I was willing to do it. The old man was stunned and was already amazed. He said all the bad things about the needle. This kind of insight should not be something he should have at his age. I have been a soldier for the rest of my life, but I did not see it thoroughly as this educated youth.
"Not that, are we all wrong..." the old man seemed to be muttering to himself.
"Old man, you always think slowly, I'm leaving!" Li Siming saw that the old man seemed to be thinking, and hurriedly fled the scene. The old man called him from behind, but he pretended not to hear it. Go quickly, the further you go, the better.
When he arrived at "Lao Mo", Shuai Xu and Zhang Hua and the others were having a good time. Li Siming was not polite either. He found a seat and filled his stomach first. He said that this old man was so stingy and didn't invite me to have a cup of tea and eat something. After talking for a long time, he protested hungryly.
"Aming, he didn't make things difficult for you just now, did he?" Yang Yue, who was sitting next to him, asked.
"Who, oh that old man, who am I? He doesn't weigh his weight and makes things difficult for me." Li Siming ate a bite of the beef.
"Old man? Do you call him old man?" Yang Yue giggled.
"Is it not an old man, and I'm still a stingy old man. Look at him, he is not a poor man, so I won't invite me to have a drink."
"How could you say so badly? My dad, oh my dad said that the old man had a bad temper and didn't scold you?"
"Look at what you said, I, Li Siming, is also the number one person. By presenting facts and reasoning, the old man sighed that he was not as good as his disadvantage and wanted to take me as his teacher. I refused on the grounds that he was too old." Li Siming boasted.
"Just blow it."
"Don't believe it. By the way, aren't you from that courtyard? Go and inquire whether the old man was speechless by me."
"Don't worry, I'll ask." Yang Yue smiled, "Oh by the way, everyone has agreed and are going to go back to Daxing together. What about you, let's go with us?"
"No, I'll leave early."
"Why, the holiday is still early?"
"I have something to do, so I have to stay in Harbin for a week." Li Siming promised Director Jiang that he would go to another week of class after the Spring Festival.
"Oh, are you going to meet some good friends?" Yang Yue joked.
"What a good person? Most of the women in this world are vulgar fans, and I don't like it yet! I have a serious business." In Li Siming's aesthetic vision, women of this era are undoubtedly too rustic and even ridiculous in their clothes. However, Li Siming forgot that the person who talked to him was also a woman.
Sure enough, the person next to him was dissatisfied, "Hmph, do you think you are a hot commodity!" Yang Yue turned her face and stopped talking to him.
