Chapter 792 Lin Yu's suggestion (2)
The troops stationed in Hong Kong are waiting to go, waiting at any time to enter Hong Kong Island with great pride in the early morning of July 1, shouldering the sacred mission of defending Hong Kong Island. Song Jinping took the time to visit the old leader and accept the old leader's guidance.
As far as Song Jinping knew, from the time when the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission began to consider the candidates for senior cadres in the garrison to the final determination of his victory, the game was very fierce. No one would be willing to give up this opportunity that could be remembered forever. What's more, everyone knows that if you really want to take up this position that is highly anticipated by the world, your future will definitely be immeasurable.
The Lin faction is bound to win this position, but the Lin faction's strength in the army is already amazing. It is a leading figure in the army. At this time, the Lin faction will be the first commander of the Hong Kong garrison, which is obviously not something other factions are happy to see.
Of course, everyone knows the reason, but they will not give it a pride. However, the reason for not supporting Song Jinping as commander of the Hong Kong troops is also high-sounding. Song Jinping's conditions and qualifications do seem to be good, but in comparison, he is a little older. Although a major general in his fifties is nothing in China, he really wants to be pushed to the position of attention of the commander in Hong Kong, which is the world's concern. Will the international general think that our country's generals are generally older? They do not meet the requirements of younger age?
In a new era that emphasizes the younger and scientificization of cadres, this reason is still very sufficient and powerful. After all, there are major generals in their forties in their country. They always say that they should give way to these young people and let them grow and take on heavy responsibilities, but why did they fail to take action when they come to an end?
Therefore, Mr. Lin, who strongly supported Song Jinping, still under a lot of pressure.
However, at the critical moment, Lin Yu played a great role. When he chose the commander in Hong Kong, Lin Yu was on Hong Kong Island. So Lin Yu made momentum for the people of the Lin family on Hong Kong Island and told Song Jinping about Song in advance. Although this was a bit of a force to force the country. However, when Lin Yu threw out another weight, the country could not care about it. In addition, the old leader said this, and Song Jinping became the commander in Hong Kong.
Logically speaking, a candidate for a major general commander cannot be seen by the chief, but the commander of the Hong Kong troops is of extraordinary significance, which is naturally a different matter. Moreover, Mr. Lin has a very high prestige in the army, and the conditions he introduced are also very good. The most important thing is that the chief trusts Mr. Lin.
In this way, Song Jinping was finally able to successfully serve as the first commander of the Hong Kong troops.
No matter how reluctant other factions were to see this ending, they had to pinch their noses and swallow the bitter fruit. Who said that Lin's power in the army is indeed too strong, and the leader is so supportive?
"Please rest assured, the old leader." Song Jinping stood up habitually when he heard Mr. Lin's words. He stood up straight as if a soldier was accepting orders. He replied very seriously: "I will definitely live up to the trust and trust of the motherland and the old leader!" The voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing around in the quaint and quiet courtyard.
Mr. Lin is majestic and has a strong evil spirit and is even more strict in governing the army. Any soldier who has been under him dare not slacken at all when facing him. Even though the old man has retreated to the second line now, the feeling that has long been engraved in his heart will not be weakened at all.
"Sit down and say, we're just talking casually, there's no need to be so nervous." Old Master Lin smiled and waved his hand, but nodded with satisfaction. No matter where the soldiers he brought out were, they were still so powerful and brave. If they dared to fight and fight, there would be no coward.
Song Jin sat down, but his waist was straight and he sat upright, with a serious expression.
Mr. Lin looked at Song Jinping with a gentle expression, but Song Jinping felt a huge pressure coming to his face. Although the old man was introverted, his natural domineering aura was still everywhere, and he was as strong as Song Jinping, a general who had been on the battlefield, was also worried.
Mr. Lin immediately asked, "Are the troops ready?"
"I have been ready for a long time and ready to pass through Luohukou and take over Hong Kong Island's defense!" Song Jinping replied loudly: "Deputy Commander Zhou Guotao has led the first batch of advance personnel to enter the customs through Locke Ma Chau and enter the Hong Kong Island area in advance, making necessary preparations for us to officially enter Hong Kong Island at 0:00 on July 1 to assume the defense responsibility."
Mr. Lin nodded slowly. Of course he knew these things, and it was even his thoughts and ideas.
When it came to the question of whether Hong Kong Island would want to garrison troops, let alone the strong opposition of Britain, even within the party, there were different voices. Even a party member inadvertently replied in an interview with Hong Kong Island media that Hong Kong Island could not garrison troops. As a result, the next day, the front page headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong Island reported: A certain leader of China said that Hong Kong Island does not need to garrison troops is the opinion of the Chinese government.
This incident caused the leader and Mr. Lin to be extremely angry. The leader even slapped the table for this. How can Hong Kong Island not garrison troops? Garage is a manifestation of sovereignty. Why can't China garrison troops on Hong Kong Island? Britain can garrison troops. We can restore sovereignty but cannot garrison troops on our own territory. Is this the truth in the world? Garage is at least a symbol of sovereignty. There is no such power. So what is the restoration of sovereignty? We must garrison troops!
Mr. Lin also strongly proposed that we should not only garrison troops, but also send an elite force. We should also send advance personnel to Hong Kong Island in advance for various preparations, such as being familiar with the facilities of the 14 military lands used by the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, understanding the social security operation mechanism and establishing guarantee channels, and coordinating with the Hong Kong Island government departments to maintain the military communication environment. This work is not only an important preparation for the successful entry of the main body of the Hong Kong Island troops stationed in Hong Kong, but also an important step in the handover of defense in Hong Kong Island.
It was precisely because of the insistence of the leader and Mr. Lin that the British side had to make concessions. The troops stationed in Hong Kong sent 196 advance personnel to enter Hong Kong Island in three batches in advance. When the Yingwu People's Liberation Army appeared on the streets of Hong Kong Island, it once attracted Hong Kong Island citizens to stop and watch. Major General Deng Shouren, commander of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, led the Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Mai Lixin and other representatives of the three armies to welcome him in front of the Prince Wells Building.
The old man slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then smiled and asked, "How do you feel when you work with Xiong Xianghao?"
Xiong Xianghao was the first political commissar of the People's Liberation Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Hong Kong Island, with the rank of major general. He was the strongest candidate for the first commander of the Hong Kong troops stationed in Hong Kong at the time. However, due to the emergence of Song Jinping, he had to settle for the second best and changed to the position of political commissar.
Song Jinping was shocked and looked embarrassed.
This question is not easy to answer. It is impossible for two people to partner, and it is impossible to say there is no difference, not to mention that the two people are completely divided into different camps. However, if it is not good, it is undoubtedly a child who has suffered grievances and complained about the parents and spread rumors. Maybe Mr. Lin feels that he is small and cannot tolerate others.
Before he knew it, Song Jinping looked up at Mr. Lin. The old man's face was calm and there seemed to be no expression. Song Jinping then took his eyes back, carefully considered his words, and said carefully: "Lao Xiong is a rigorous person, principled, and able to set an example, and is also more capable..."
Song Jinping's words were very pertinent, without too much personal opinion, but he did not say too much nutritional and content.
A look of admiration flashed through Lin Yu's eyes.
Although Song Jinping looked like he was walking on thin ice in front of Mr. Lin, in fact, whether it was the game of the chess game just now or the response now, he seemed very meticulous. No wonder Mr. Lin had high hopes for him and did not hesitate to support him as the first commander of the Hong Kong troops.
"Tianping, you are not limited to small things, you are a great person, dare to think and do, have courage and knowledge, and have some courage, but you are not delicate enough to easily ignore some subtleties. Xiong Xianghao is rigorous and is even better at checking and filling in gaps. You two work together, which can complement each other."
Mr. Lin also showed a faint smile on his face again. He pondered for a while, and said quietly: "Jinping, you must remember to take a longer-term vision and open your mind. Your future is still very bright."
Song Jinping was overjoyed when he heard this. Mr. Lin's words undoubtedly gave him a reassurance. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, the old leader. This time I went to Hong Kong Island, there is a long way to go. I still need more guidance from the old leader in the future."
What Song Jinping is most worried about is that his first commander of the Hong Kong troops is just a transition. After all, Mr. Lin has retreated to the second line. Although his influence on the army will not have much impact in the short term, can he still pay attention to him in the future? Without the support and care of the old man, how many people will not covet his current sensitive position? In the end, will he be promoted to a half-level position in order to move others and then be placed in a deputy position?
Song Jinping’s concerns are not aimless. In fact, even if positions at first-level units or above in the military division cannot be fully qualified, the first choice is a sensitive position like the Chief of Staff. Generally speaking, the Chief of Staff is the first candidate for the military chief of the same level. However, the deputy military chief of the same level seems to be glorious, but without much background and merit, it basically means that he will live a long life in this position, which is similar to the local half-level retirement...!~!
