Of course, the military uniform Ye Kai is wearing cannot be the kind worn by big-headed soldiers. In fact, he is wearing the spring and autumn uniforms worn by generals.""""
Although the weather in Beijing is still unstable in May, the temperature has gradually risen. However, here in Ouchi, where there are green trees, the temperature is much cooler than in the city.
After entering the courtyard, Ye Kai felt the coolness in the air, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard in his ears.
He looked up and found a lot of sparrows flying around deep in the tree.
Seeing these sparrows, Ye Kai couldn't help but think of something about the Taizu of this dynasty.
Sparrows should be regarded as the most common and common birds. In some rural areas, because sparrows like to eat rice, soybeans and other grains, they are always called children when drying rice, dried tofu, dried sweet potatoes, etc.
Guarding, their task is to drive away the sparrows.
At this time, the children are very reluctant because the sparrows have tied their hands and feet. The only entertainment left is to pick up the slingshot and shoot the sparrows.
Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, hundreds of industries were waiting to be prospered, and the food problem was particularly acute. During this process, Taizu listed sparrows, rats, flies, and mosquitoes as the "four pests", and decided that starting from 1956, in 5 and 7 years
Within 12 years, the "four pests" such as rats and sparrows will be basically eliminated.
This launched a nationwide sparrow extermination campaign. Although many biologists at the time pointed out that sparrows were beneficial birds and not pests, the vigorous sparrow extermination campaign soon became unstoppable.
The climax of the Sparrow Extermination Movement appeared in the Great Leap Forward Movement in 1958. At that time, all teachers and students of Peking University went out to eliminate the sparrows that had fled from the nearby area to Peking University's Weiming Lake. The campus of Peking University was filled with loud gongs and drums, huge crowds of people, and people occupied
They covered all the high slopes and shook the branches so that the sparrows had no place to stay or a place to stay. They kept flying until they died of exhaustion. It is said that the sparrows all died of broken hearts!
In eight months, 1.96 billion sparrows were wiped out across the country.
After this disaster, the number of sparrows dropped sharply, and at the same time, pests multiplied rapidly in some places, causing serious pest infestations.
In some big cities, many street trees have had their leaves eaten up by insects.
To this end, the Party Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also submitted the "Report to the Chairman on the Benefits and Harms of Sparrows" that reflected the opinions of scientists. This report used scientific data and analysis to argue that the benefits of sparrows outweigh the harms, and finally convinced Taizu.
Soon after, he wrote in the "Central Central Committee's Instructions on Sanitation Work", "One more thing, don't kill the sparrows, replace them with bed bugs."
At this point, an unprecedented campaign to eliminate sparrows has finally come to an end.
Why does a great leader have to deal with little sparrows? Perhaps because his hometown is a rice-producing area and rice has been cultivated for a long time. When he was a child, he also received the task of driving away sparrows. It was probably at that time that he got an unforgettable impression,
Sparrows eat food very well!
Therefore, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when people's food and clothing problems had not yet been solved, sparrows eating food was not a small problem for him, and he launched a sparrow extermination campaign.
Maybe there is another reason, that is, Taizu's sleep has never been good.
He worked day and night, and when sleeping in broad daylight, he often asked guards to drive away sparrows and other birds in the house. In this way, the sparrows became reactionaries in the eyes of the old man, so they had to be exterminated.
Ye Kai's mind was wandering, and when he turned back from the sparrow, he had already arrived at Comrade Jiang Cheng's office under the leadership of Comrade Weng Qingyuan.
In Comrade Jiang Cheng's office, five members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and seven or eight members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee had gathered. The second old man, who was the actual person in charge of the Central Military Commission, and Gu Jianrong, who was the first deputy chief of the Central Military Commission, had gathered together.
Comrades are all present.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that both Comrade Jiang Cheng and Comrade Gu Jianrong were dressed in military uniforms, which was very different from their usual images in casual clothes, at least in terms of mental outlook.
Looking at the other leaders, Mr. Ye, Premier Yun, Chairman Xu of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Prime Minister Comrade Hong Zheng, etc., they all stood out with serious expressions.
After seeing Ye Kai walking in, everyone actually stood up and applauded.
Ye Kai was stunned immediately, wondering what happened today. He felt that in this scene, he wanted to elect me as the chairman, right?
The next thing seems much simpler. Comrade Gu Jianrong, the first deputy chief of the Military Commission, announced the Chairman's Order of the Military Commission, appointing Comrade Ye Kai as deputy director of the Central Police Bureau, responsible for matters related to Russian intelligence work, and directly reporting to the Central Office.
The director took charge and awarded Ye Kai the rank of Major General in recognition of Comrade Ye Kai's great contribution to Russian intelligence work.
When Comrade Jiang Cheng personally fastened the epaulette with a gold star on Ye Kai's military uniform, applause suddenly sounded in the room.
Ye Kai knowingly saluted Comrade Jiang Cheng with a military salute, then turned his body, maintaining the saluting posture, and finally turned back and lowered his arms.
This time he finally understood why he was asked to come here in military uniform. It turned out that it was for the convenience of conferring titles on him. He couldn't put a gold star on the tunic suit. In that case, there was nothing he could do.
"Welcome our youngest general, Comrade Ye Kai, let me say a few words to you." After the awarding, Comrade Gu Jianrong said with a smile.
Ye Kai was also very uneasy in his heart. Although he was somewhat opposed to military training and military camp life, he was still very interested in having a gold star on his shoulders.
Probably a man would have this idea. Wearing a military uniform and carrying Venus on your shoulders, how awesome!
Unexpectedly, Ye Kai, who had never entered a military camp, would be directly awarded the title of general by the head of the Military Commission!
Looking at the various smiles on everyone's faces, Ye Kai didn't know what to say for a moment, "Dear heads, uncles and gents, I feel very surprised to receive this honor today. Although I have also done a lot for the country.
It’s a small thing, but I really didn’t expect it to be rewarded. The chairman personally awarded me the title. This is my honor, and it also makes me feel a heavy responsibility and uneasy in my heart. The gold star on my shoulder is an honor, but also a heavy responsibility.
I will fight for it all my life and live up to my trust."
After Ye Kai finished speaking, Comrade Jiang Cheng took the lead in applauding.
It should be said that without any psychological preparation, he was personally awarded the title by the head of the Military Commission, and was awarded the rank of major general. It was not easy for Ye Kai to maintain his current state and express such feelings in a satisfactory manner.
If it were another person, I'm afraid he wouldn't know east, west, north, south, let alone other things?
Ye Kai saw that the eyes of Mr. Ye were filled with relief, the eyes of the second Mr. Ye were filled with joy, and the eyes of others were filled with approval, emotion, envy, and jealousy. As for those who expressed hatred, they have not been found yet, but they cannot be ruled out.
No, it's just that the other party is hidden deeper and is not easy to be discovered.
Not a single unnecessary word was said.
Just for the first deputy chief of the Central Military Commission to announce the appointment, the head of the Central Military Commission to confer the title personally, all members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to watch the ceremony, and seven or eight members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to watch, it is already a great honor.
Even when he was first awarded the title, no major general had ever had such an honor.
Everyone here knows the reason why Ye Kai was awarded the rank of Major General, but it cannot be said. Moreover, although Ye Kai's Major General rank belongs to the military, it is unlikely to be used in normal times.
Showing it to others is just a symbolic honor.
Of course, we cannot say that this major general is fake. In fact, his gold content is much higher than that of ordinary major generals.
As someone who has brought back twelve titanium alloy nuclear submarines for the country in one go, it is not an exaggeration to award him the rank of major general.
If one major general can be exchanged for twelve titanium alloy nuclear submarines, it is estimated that the head of the Military Commission is willing to award more than ten or twenty major generals at one go. In that case, the number of nuclear submarines alone would scare the Americans to the point of pissing their pants.
.
After the conferment of titles was completed, everyone dispersed, leaving only Comrade Jiang Cheng, Comrade Gu Jianrong, Mr. Ye and Mr. Er. Not even Comrade Weng Qingyuan, director of the Central Committee's Office, was present.
The topic they want to discuss now can only be discussed by a few people at the highest level of the Republic.
"Xiao Ye, going to Russia is of great importance!" Comrade Jiang Cheng said with great emotion as he held Ye Kai's hand.
As a veteran college student who studied in the Soviet Union, Comrade Jiang Cheng is very aware of the power of the Soviet Union, especially when he held a ministerial position and had many contacts with the Soviet Union. He understands what Ye Kai will do next.
How sensitive, how important, and how dangerous things are!
"Today, our task force has begun its return voyage." Comrade Gu Jianrong also said.
After hearing this, Ye Kai knew why he had to be awarded the title today. This was also a very memorable day.
The return of the East China Sea Fleet task force means that the twelve titanium alloy nuclear submarines purchased in Russia have left the secret base and returned with the task force.
This submarine formation of nuclear submarines that has left Russia's territorial waters has probably already been painted with serial numbers and logos belonging to the Navy of the Republic on its outer shell, becoming part of the armed forces of the Republic's Navy.
Such achievements were indeed enough for Ye Kai to be awarded the rank of Major General.
Of course, the more important point is that Ye Kai's exploration of Russia has just begun.
If the secret submarine base of the former Soviet Union really existed, the challenges faced by Ye Kai would be even greater, and the impact of this matter on the Republic would be extremely far-reaching.
"There are currently two guided missile cruisers and two nuclear submarines remaining in the nearby waters. As your response force, I hope your trip will go smoothly and be successful." Comrade Jiang Cheng said to Ye Kai, "The party and the people are looking forward to you.
News of the victorious return!”
"Please rest assured, chief, that you will definitely live up to the great trust of the party and the people." Ye Kai saluted solemnly again, but thought in his heart that the weight of this gold star was really too heavy.
Compared with those generals who could get one or even two gold stars by singing, Ye Kai felt that he was a little too wronged.
Hello everyone, in order to celebrate Ye Kairong's promotion to Major General, should we vote a few monthly votes to support him?
