Chapter 323 What, wearing a military uniform into the interior?!
Chapter 323: What, wearing military uniform and entering the palace?! [Third update]
On May 1, 1992, the task force of the East China Sea Fleet of the Republic of China arrived at a base of the Russian North Sea Fleet. The task force, led by Major General Shan Liren, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, included two missile destroyers, four frigates, and two long-range nuclear missiles.
A large fleet, including conventionally powered submarines with strike capabilities, officially launched a goodwill visit to Russia.
This was also the first time the Republic Navy visited Russia across the ocean. The entire voyage was more than 12,000 nautical miles, and after numerous winds and waves, and many times overcoming harsh natural conditions, it finally arrived at its destination.
This visit has also attracted the attention of various countries. Western countries believe that the Republic's naval visit is aimed at strengthening military exchanges and cooperation with the newly emerging Russian countries and is important for jointly maintaining the stability of Northeast Asia.
, is of great significance.
Although Russian President Yeltsin was not very interested in this matter, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the attitude of Americans had improved greatly since the news was released, and he immediately gave Russia an interest-free loan of US$200 million.
, which will be of great help in improving the financial situation of the Russian government.
As soon as Yeltsin thought about it, he figured out the trick. Perhaps the Americans didn't want to see the relationship between Russia and the Republic heat up, so they tried to influence it through dollar policy.
However, Yeltsin believed that this kind of thing should be a good thing for Russia, and could at least be used as one of the bargaining chips to apply for aid from the Americans.
Originally, the relationship between countries is like this, with interests as the main priority, and everything else is nonsense.
The timing of the East China Sea Fleet's trip to Russia also appears to be relatively sensitive, as it coincides with Russia's annual Victory Day.
In the spring of 1945, the Soviet army, with the cooperation of various militaries and people in Eastern Europe, eliminated a large number of effective German forces through the Hungarian Campaign, the Vistula-Oder Campaign, the Silesian Campaign, and the Eastern Pomerania Campaign, and liberated Poland and Hungary.
, eastern Austria and Vienna, and occupied part of Czechoslovakia and eastern Germany. This created conditions for the capture of Berlin.
By the end of March and early April 1945, the Soviet army was ready to attack Berlin.
The troops participating in this battle were the 1st Belorussian Front commanded by Marshal G.K. Zhukov, the 2nd Belarusian Front commanded by Marshal K.K. Rokossovsky, and the 1st Ukrainian Front commanded by Marshal I.S. Konev, with a total strength of 250.
More than ten thousand people.
Hitler gathered a total of 1 million troops to defend Berlin.
On April 16, 1945, the Soviet army launched an attack on Berlin from the Oder River and the Neisse River at the same time. They fought fiercely for 16 days and nights. By 3:00 pm on May 2, the German army stopped resisting and the Battle of Berlin ended.
The Soviet army annihilated 93 German divisions and captured more than 400,000 German troops.
Two German army groups (55 divisions) entrenched in Czechoslovakia also surrendered in mid-May.
At 24:00 on May 8, 1945, Germany's unconditional surrender ceremony was officially held in Berlin.
The German surrender came into effect at 0:00 on May 9, 1945, and the war in Europe ended.
From successive defeats in the early stages of the war, to the counterattack after the Stalingrad Conference, and then to the capture of Berlin, the Soviet military and civilians experienced 1,418 days and nights of brutal war, and exchanged blood and lives for victory in the Patriotic War.
During the war, a total of 27 million people in the Soviet Union died, including 8.66 million soldiers. More than 1,700 cities and more than 70,000 villages and towns were destroyed.
After the victory of World War II in 1945, the former Soviet Union designated May 9 as Victory Day in the Patriotic War. Every year thereafter, Moscow held a grand rally and military parade in Red Square to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Fascist War.
However, the military parade held on May 9, 1990 to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in the Patriotic War was the last Victory Day military parade before the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
On May 9 last year, there was no military parade.
This year, the Russian government still has not considered holding a military parade. Firstly, it is due to the impact of de-Sovietization, and secondly, it is financially strapped and cannot afford such an extravagant military parade.
In the past, every Victory Day, especially Victory Day that was an integer, the Soviet government would invest a lot of manpower, financial and material resources, from theatrical performances to military parades. It could be said that no expense was spared. The attitude towards Victory Day was the same as that of the Republic towards National Day.
For ordinary people, every time Victory Day comes, people will commemorate that historic moment in various ways. Many people wear a yellow and black striped "George Ribbon" on their chests and arms, which is regarded as a symbol of bravery and victory.
"Some people tied ribbons to car antennas and reflectors, and some young mothers tied ribbons to their children's strollers, creating a beautiful scene during the Victory Day commemorations.
The most devout among them are the veterans of World War II, who are the protagonists of this festival and the most respected people.
Rear Admiral Shan Liren of the East China Sea Fleet came to Moscow on ** Day and was invited to attend a ** Day commemoration event of the Russian military.
Although Russia will not hold a military parade this year, there are still corresponding commemorative activities. After all, the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War is not only commemorated by a few countries, but it has nothing to do with the militaristic policy of the former Soviet Union.
Major General Shan Liren was invited to visit several commemorative events and had friendly contacts with senior officials of the Soviet Navy. Although it was not widely publicized in the media, it has already caused ripples in the Russian military, especially the navy.
Today's Russian Navy is declining, but the Navy of the Republic has begun to develop. In addition to nostalgic for the powerful navy of the former Soviet Union, many people also feel sad for today's situation.
Major General Shan Liren also felt deeply. He deeply felt that if the national economy cannot be developed, then military construction cannot be truly grasped. Russia is such an example. Until now, even nuclear submarines have been secretly sold.
Okay, I really can’t say anything.
Almost at the same time as Major General Dan Liren participated in the Victory Day commemoration, Ye Kai also secretly entered the palace.
This time when he entered the university, it was Comrade Tan Shengjie, director of Comrade Jiang Cheng's office, who personally notified him. He spoke very seriously, and asked Ye Kai to meet Comrade Jiang Cheng in person, and also made certain dress requirements.
"Second Grandpa, what does the Jiang Office mean? Why do you want me to put on a military uniform?" After Ye Kai got the order, he couldn't help but be confused, so he asked the Second Grandpa what happened.
The most important point is that it doesn't matter what clothes he wears, but this military uniform is easy to find, but what military rank should he wear? He wouldn't just wear a bare green military uniform to see Comrade Jiang Cheng, right?
In that case, it would be a bit of a stretch.
You know, judging from the current situation, apart from ordinary soldiers during military training, there seem to be only two people who can wear military uniforms without rank marks on formal occasions.
One is Comrade Jiang Cheng, the number one leader, and the other is Comrade Gu Jianrong, his successor who also serves as deputy chief of the Military Commission.
Only these two are qualified to wear military uniforms without any rank marks on formal occasions. He, Ye Kai, does not have such qualifications.
If you really wear a military uniform like that, people will inevitably question you after seeing it, "Have you become the alternate successor, Second Young Master Ye?" In that case, it would be considered an overstep.
After hearing this, the second old man burst into laughter and said, "Why do you want to wear a military uniform? If you want to wear a military uniform, then you can wear a military uniform. If you don't have a military rank, don't give up. Anyway, you haven't even participated in military training."
, nor a reserve."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Kai thought about the matter himself and felt that there should be nothing wrong with following what the second old man said. After all, he was a cadre within the system and not a soldier. The idea of wearing a military uniform was really unreasonable.
It's a bit ridiculous.
However, he still made two preparations. Before going to Ouchi, he brought a plain military uniform, a stand-collar Chinese tunic suit, and a jacket. He was fully prepared. When the time came, he went to the Central Office and they asked what to wear.
Okay, just wear whatever you want, and you won't get caught because of a dress issue.
Although these are trivial matters, Ye Kai is not willing to violate taboos on this.
The old Ye family is indeed extremely powerful. Even if Ye Kai goes to the Central Office wearing shorts and a vest, the most they can do is curse, then hold their noses and admit it. They have to help Ye Kai find suitable clothes to change into, but they have the ability to go
Doing so does not mean that you must do it.
Everyone should still maintain enough respect for the rules that should be followed. This is the correct attitude.
Ye Kai drove into the building, passed a series of verifications, made phone calls, was released, and then accompanied the staff to Weng Qingyuan, the head of the general office.
Comrade Tan Shengjie, deputy director of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was also present. He couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Ye Kai wearing a stand-up collared tunic suit.
"Comrade Xiaoye, didn't I tell you to wear a military uniform? Why are you wearing a Chinese tunic suit?" Tan Shengjie frowned and said.
"Well, I don't have a military rank. Isn't it appropriate to wear a military uniform?" Ye Kai said immediately.
When Tan Shengjie heard this, he said, "Hey, it doesn't matter. Guard, go find a similar uniform and put the rank mark on it."
"That's not necessary. I also have military uniforms ready here." Ye Kai pointed at the bag he brought and said to him.
"Then change it quickly. Today is an important day. The leaders are all waiting." Comrade Weng Qingyuan said from the side.
"Okay." Ye Kai responded, quickly took off his clothes and put on his military uniform.
"Xiaoye looks very handsome in military uniform." Weng Qingyuan looked at it and said with a smile.
Ye Kai himself was a little confused and was personally led by Weng Qingyuan into Comrade Jiang Cheng's office.
