Chapter 1,016 The Chairman’s Successor (Please subscribe!)
successor to chairman
The entire Standing Committee soon reached the most critical juncture, which was to decide on personnel changes for some high-level personnel within the party. Among all the personnel changes, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the East China Field Army that Liu Hua had just stepped down from.
The two positions of real power are the Commander-in-Chief and the First Secretary of the Southern Bureau...
After glancing at the people in the meeting, and especially casting a meaningful look at Liu Hua, the chairman said directly:
"Comrades, regarding the two important positions of Commander-in-Chief of the East China Field Army and First Secretary of the Southern Bureau, I believe that among all the people here, Comrade Liu Hua has the most say. So, what I mean is, let Comrade Liu Hua give the two important positions first.
I will make a recommendation, and then let us old guys vote, what do you think..."
"I agree…."
"I agree…."
The Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief, who seemed to have already reached a tacit understanding with the Chairman, spoke directly in agreement without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the standing committee members voted in favor. As for those standing committee members who wanted to vote against it, seeing that the situation was over, they had no choice but to lower their heads and express their agreement.
Seeing the confident look of the chairman in front of him, coupled with the caring eyes of the Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief and others, Liu Hua knew clearly that this was a chance for several old leaders to train and form their own team. At the same time, something came to mind.
Last night, the chairman had a long talk with himself.
"Comrade Liu Hua, do you know why we pushed you to the position of vice chairman of the government?" the chairman asked with a profound look on his face.
"Chairman, isn't it to win this election..." Liu Hua asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, winning is one thing, but there is actually another very important reason. And it is this reason that prompted me, the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief, to resolutely push you to the position of Vice Chairman of the Government, regardless of the opposition of all the Standing Committee members.
….”
Seeing Liu Hua who still looked puzzled, the chairman did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Comrade Liu Hua, do you know what your advantages and disadvantages are among all the political situation members?"
Facing the Chairman's rhetorical question again, Liu Hua, as a subordinate, would not show it even if he knew clearly in front of the wise Chairman. He quickly shook his head and waited for the Chairman's next words.
"Your disadvantage lies in your qualifications and age. As for your advantage, in addition to your military exploits, there is another one that cannot be ignored, which is also your age..."
"Looking at the entire Standing Committee, even the youngest one is at least fifteen years older than you. This is your advantage..." After hearing this, Liu Hua, who comes from a later generation, if he still doesn't understand the connotation of the chairman's words,
Then his time travel was in vain.
Seeing the chairman's piercing eyes, the shocked Liu Hua opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to continue.
"Haha, I know what you are thinking now. Now, I can tell you clearly that what you are thinking is right. You, Liu Hua, are the future successors of the country selected by me, the Commander-in-Chief, the Prime Minister and others. Of course, you
This successor has not been discussed by the Standing Committee, but I believe that with the support from me, the Commander-in-Chief and the Prime Minister, there will be no problems when it is finally determined..." The chairman looked decisive, with a ruler.
He said it with due dignity and a proud look.
"Thank you, Chairman. I, Liu Hua, will definitely live up to the trust of all the leaders..." Liu Hua, who was incoherent due to excitement, said quickly.
The chairman directly ignored Liu Hua's assurance. Decades of leadership career have made the chairman clearly realize how difficult it is to be the supreme leader of hundreds of millions of people. But in front of him
Liu Hua is obviously still far away from this goal.
Thinking of this, the chairman said directly: "Haha, Comrade Liu Hua, don't be too happy too early. Compared with the abilities required by a real national leader, the gap between you now is not ordinary.
Big. Of course, you must also understand: all I, the Prime Minister, and the Commander-in-Chief can give you is an opportunity. As for whether you can seize this opportunity, you have to rely on yourself..."
"Ah...please give me some advice, Chairman..."
"I am in a good mood today, so I will tell you a few words. As a true leader, you not only need to have enough charisma, superb skills in employing people, and a decisive heart... More importantly, you must also have a group of
Being able to truly obey the orders of one’s closest confidants, the so-called team members…”
"I can tell you with certainty that if you fail to reach the position of chairman through any one of these, you will always be out of reach..." the chairman replied affirmatively.
Seeing Liu Hua in front of him who did not show any impatience, but looked pensive and thinking about his own problems. The chairman continued: "I will talk about you Liu Hua now: decisive in killing, decades of military career,
You did it. With your charisma and your title of 'Anti-Japanese Hero', you also did it. In my current opinion, you are still a little lacking in your superb employment skills and need to continue to strengthen them."
"As for the last and most important 'team', you can almost say that we don't have one..."
"Chairman, how could..."
Hearing the chairman's last judgment, Liu Hua's face instantly showed a look of confusion. You must be clear that at this moment, among the four major field armies in the country, there are already two major field armies made by him. Don't tell me, just listen.
My own, but I have absolutely no problem obeying orders...
"Haha, I know you are talking about the army... Yes, I admit that you, Liu Hua, do have a great influence in the army with your prestige and military exploits. However, you must be clear that after the war is over, the country's priorities will be
It will slowly shift from the military to the local government. At that time, the military will only be the guarantee for you to rise to power, and the local government will be the stage for you to display your political talents..."
"Think about it carefully. Although you have served as the first secretary of the Southern Bureau for a year or two, have you cultivated a confidant of your own in the local government and a team... As far as I know, no..."
"So, starting from today, as long as there is no major war in the country, you have to transfer your experience to the local level for me. In five to ten years, in the government departments, you will cultivate a group of truly your own team and serve for yourself.
The future leadership will provide more protection..." the chairman said firmly.
"Yes, Chairman, Liu Hua promises to live up to your high expectations..." Only at this moment did Liu Hua truly understand where his weaknesses were. Then, he replied with a sincere face.
"Well...for decades, you have never been defeated in the face of elite little devils. I believe that this problem will not trouble you. However, when you are busy with government work, you must also pay close attention to military matters. Don't
Forgot, you still hold the title of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. As for tomorrow’s Standing Committee, everything else can be given up. There is one position that cannot be given up, and that is the position of Commander-in-Chief of the East China Field Army. As a leader, no matter what,
, we must ensure the stability of the military, do you understand what I mean?" the chairman finally explained.
"I see….."
Seeing the Chairman, Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief and others with encouraging expressions, and seeing several other members of the Standing Committee with frowning faces, Liu Hua quickly adjusted his nervousness and spoke.
"Chairman, fellow chiefs, you should also be aware of my military career. For decades, I have been marching and fighting almost all the time, so I can barely cope with military matters. However, local administrative matters... So, I
We only recommend candidates for the post of Commander-in-Chief of the East China Field Army. As for the First Secretary of the Southern Bureau, all leaders are asked to make their own research and decision..."
After saying this sentence, Liu Hua could clearly feel that the brows of several members of the Standing Committee who were frowning just now relaxed significantly. And this was the result he wanted. Because he knew that if he wanted to be in the Standing Committee,
It is definitely impossible to achieve the results you want and take them all. The only thing you can do is to share the benefits.
Seeing the changes in everyone's faces, Liu Hua spoke directly.
"Commanders, after many years of partnership, coupled with the outstanding command ability in the battle against Taiwan, Zuo Quan, Chief of Staff of the East China Field Army, is a rare general in terms of military command and military literacy.
Therefore, I recommend Comrade Zuo Quan to take over the post of Commander-in-Chief of the East China Field Army. As for the Chief of Staff left vacant by Comrade Zuo Quan, I recommend that Comrade Wang Zhen, the deputy commander, serve concurrently..."
I originally thought that my answer would be approved by everyone. However, unexpectedly, not only the standing committee members who had just objected, but also the chairman and others couldn't help but frown.
Just when Liu Hua didn't know why, a clever idea immediately appeared in his mind, which made him jump: Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, Deputy Commander...all were occupied by his own people.
Doesn't this make it clear to everyone that the East China Field Army is our own private army...
Thinking of this, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At the same time, Liu Hua was also thinking about specific solutions...
"Report Chairman, fellow chiefs, I haven't finished what I just said... After working together for several years, I found that Comrade Deng Xiaoping, political commissar of the East China Field Army, is better at government work. Therefore, I plan to recommend him to the Prime Minister to the Government Affairs Council to assist the Prime Minister in his work...
." After Liu Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, he said.
In the eyes of most members of the Standing Committee, a powerful political commissar commanding hundreds of thousands of troops is definitely not comparable to a deputy prime minister of the Government Affairs Council. Therefore, almost no one raised any objection to Liu Hua's proposal and it was unanimously approved.
However, just when everyone thought that Liu Hua suffered a big loss in this personnel transfer, our protagonist Liu Hua was already secretly laughing. Because he knew the important role that the Government Affairs Council would play in the future development of the country.
, he also believed that with Deng Xiaoping’s ability shown in later generations, there would be absolutely no problem taking over as prime minister...
In this way, Deng Xiaoping inadvertently became the first team member deployed by Liu Hua in the government department, and also the most important team member...
