The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 509: Serving in the Jingda Military Region!!! (Revised)
Wang Dagang found himself already 30 years old and still alone.

Doing a job I don't like, I have no money and no status.

It has been 12 years since he went to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth.

Wang Dagang didn’t understand why he couldn’t go back home even though he had written so many reports.

I don’t know how long I will have to stay in this small place like Y City, and I don’t know what the meaning of my life is.

By this year, Wang Dagang could no longer control his negative emotions.

He decided to... express his demands in an extreme way.

Wang Dagang first found a co-worker and got a lot of explosives, saying that he wanted to blow up the fish.

He then collected more than 100 bullets under the pretext of bird hunting.

Using his military experience, he assembled a large amount of explosives and made a bomb.

Wang Dagang's psychology gradually became distorted, and he developed a serious tendency to be pessimistic about the world.

That day, Wang Dagang boarded the train to his hometown.

After arriving at Beijing Railway Station the next day, he waited for a long time in the waiting hall on the second floor of the train station.
Since then, the truth of the "October 10.28 case" has been completely revealed.

However, the tragic consequences it caused are unimaginable.

The case was solved, but Ge Shuping and others had just begun the follow-up work.

At this time, Liu Zhiye, who had been away from Beijing for almost two years, just returned from southern Xinjiang.

On a rainy day in the autumn of that year, Liu Zhiye, then chief of staff of the Two Mountains Front, had just returned from an inspection of the troops and was preparing to go back to rest.

Suddenly, a hurried phone call rang.

Liu Zhiye picked up the phone and listened. It turned out that it was the head of the headquarters calling personally.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused: It was so late, what was the matter with the leader calling?

After the call was connected, a familiar Sichuan accent came from the receiver: "Comrade Liu Zhiye, have you just returned from the army?"

Liu Zhiye replied: “Yes, leader.

I just got back to the headquarters, it’s too late, I’m afraid of disturbing your rest, I plan to report to you tomorrow…”

After hearing this, the head of the headquarters said, "Well, I want you to come over and talk to me. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"Yes, okay, okay..." Liu Zhiye agreed readily.

The next day, Liu Zhiye boarded a transport plane and flew to Yanjing.

This is an old transport plane and there is no comfort in it.

It's basically a flying box that makes so much noise that you can hardly hear what's happening on the other end.

Moreover, the plane was shaking violently, as if it was flying directly on the engine.

The cabin was not sealed and air leaked everywhere after takeoff.

Because they left in such a hurry, Liu Zhiye and his companions were still wearing light clothes when they took off.

It was very cold when they were in the air and they didn't bring any cotton clothes, so their hands were frozen.

Low-speed aircraft are greatly affected by airflow. Changes between cold and hot airflows and crosswind shear will affect flight stability.

The plane suddenly rose as if it was high jumping, and then suddenly dropped in altitude, dropping dozens or hundreds of meters.

That’s not all. During the flight, you will hear the fuselage structure making constant “cracking” sounds.

Liu Zhiye knew that this was structural flexibility, but people who didn't know would be shocked, as if the plane was about to disintegrate.

Because the plane was shaking violently, the communicator and guard who accompanied Liu Zhiye back to Beijing had no experience in flying.

After a while, everyone's stomach was churning.

First one or two people vomited, and then everyone vomited.

But there was only one bucket, and for the next half of the flight I did nothing but scramble for the bucket to vomit.

In the end, everyone was vomiting and the whole place was a mess.

After the plane landed, these tough guys were too weak to stand up and open the door.

"I'd better not take this crappy thing in the future if I can avoid it!" Liu Zhiye said to himself as he looked back at the plane.

When Liu Zhiye arrived at the "Haizi" and met with the leader, he finally understood what was going on...

It turned out that a few months ago, an "outrageous" incident occurred in a certain department.

They were actually deceived by an ordinary person with a forged "document" and even made a fool of themselves...

Liu Zhiye was far away at the frontline when he heard about this. He was also shocked. "Oh my god, this is too outrageous!"

This incident actually started with a forged document.

Gao Huaiming is actually just an ordinary worker who once had an enviable "iron rice bowl" job.

Gao Huaiming had a good job, but he was a veteran in the factory. He was always cheating and not doing his job. As a result, this "veteran" lost his job.

Instead of reflecting on his own problems, this "old fox" took out all his resentment about his unemployment on the injustice in the factory.

He believed that everything that happened to him was…’s fault, and he held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.

Gao Huaiming was unwilling to accept this.

But he understood that he could not do anything on his own.

So, he started to think of a crooked idea and came up with a "clever idea" - forging a "document".

With this fake document, he went to a certain camp and committed fraud.

From here, an absurd farce began. Gao Huaiming claimed to be a "special envoy of the headquarters" with a top-secret mission.

Not only did he produce forged documents, he also acted arrogantly and demanded to see the camp leader.

Although the guards felt something was amiss, they did not dare to neglect the "special envoy" easily, so they quickly notified the camp leader He Zhuxiang.

When Zhu Hexiang met Gao Huaiming, he was a little doubtful at first.

But once he saw the forged "document", he believed most of it.

Gao Huaiming took the opportunity to exaggerate the matter.

He also told Zhu Hexiang mysteriously that he had shouldered an "extremely urgent" task and needed to convene a meeting of cadres.

Zhu Fuxiang did not dare to delay and immediately convened a cadre meeting.

At the meeting, Gao Huaiming waved the fake document and demanded that the cadres obey his command.

Although some people were deceived for a while, not everyone was kept in the dark.

Some calm cadres began to ask questions, trying to learn more from Gao Huaiming.

However, Gao Huaiming was just an ordinary person after all and knew nothing about the real situation at the headquarters.

Faced with questions one after another, he hesitated and made many loopholes.

Just when a certain department was in chaos, a cadre quietly reported the situation to the headquarters.

The headquarters was shocked when they received the news, because no one was sent to issue any orders, so they quickly sent out an investigation team.

After the investigation team arrived, they quickly took control of Gao Huaiming and began to investigate the whole story.

After interrogation, Gao Huaiming's forgery was quickly exposed.

The investigation team found it incredible that such an ordinary person could do such a thing.

However, the impact of this incident is far from over.

For the country, this incident exposed the complex ideological contradictions during the period of social transformation.

It also reminded the headquarters that the road to reform is full of challenges, and that it is necessary to withstand external resistance while also being vigilant against internal unstable factors.

After this incident, the headquarters was determined to continue with the reform.

As we all know, the organization of the Xia Kingdom's major military regions has undergone several changes.

In the early days, there were six major military regions, which was consistent with the administrative divisions at the time.

In the middle period, thirteen major military regions were established one after another.

The names of military regions are basically named after the provincial capital cities where they are located, such as Wucheng Military Region, Shudu Military Region, Shengjing Military Region, etc.

It wasn't until last year when we entered a new era and began to downsize.

The 13 major military regions were reduced to 11, among which the Western Xinjiang Military Region and the Northern Mongolia Military Region were downgraded to provincial-level military regions.

This stage lasted for more than 30 years.

Many leaders of major military regions are getting old and are no longer the young and vigorous generals they used to be.

According to the headquarters' plan, in order to cooperate with the disarmament plan, these eleven military regions will continue to be reduced to seven major military regions.

This year, many veterans retired due to age. Now, each major region has its successor.

Only the Yan University area made him undecided.

Among all the military regions, the most important one is the Yanda Military Region.

The leaders considered for a long time who should go to Yanda to take on the important task.

At this time, Liu Zhiye, who had received frequent good news, came into his sight.

Liu Zhiye is only 46 years old, in the prime of his life.
After getting in the car, Liu Zhiye was very excited.

Even so, Liu Zhiye felt very proud and felt that he had no regrets in his military career.

This autumn, the maple leaves are red and the rice is fragrant.

Deng Ru looked up and saw her eldest son, whom she had missed for two years, standing in front of her. Her eyes instantly turned red and she said angrily, "Hey, kid, why didn't you call me before you came back?"

Liu Zhiye supported his mother and said with a smile: "I came back on short notice this time and didn't make any preparations in advance."

Deng Ru was shocked when she heard this: "What? Are you still leaving?"

Liu Zhiye nodded, and seeing his mother looking a little disappointed, he quickly explained: "But don't worry, I'll be back soon.

The organization has made arrangements, and I guess it won’t be long before I can be transferred back.”

Deng Ru was finally happy after hearing this, and kept saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Mom doesn't expect you to be a high-ranking official. I just hope that our family can be safe and sound and be reunited. Then Mom will be satisfied..."

"Let's go home and I'll make you some noodles."

Liu Zhiye didn't want his mother to be tired, so he quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, let's just talk, I have to leave tonight."

"It's okay. It won't delay your departure. Eat dumplings on the bus and noodles when you get off. I know the rules of your army very well!" Deng Ru said while waving her hands.

Liu Zhiye looked at the little old lady helplessly. She was busy running around, and even took the time to call other family members to hurry home because her son had returned.

Gan Ning, a district official, was preparing for an afternoon meeting when a phone call rang outside her desk. It was from her mother-in-law, Deng Ru.

"Xiao Ning!"

"Mom, I'm here, what can I do for you?"

"Please take some time to go home..."

"Ah? Mom, I have a meeting soon. I'll go back after the meeting...what? Zhiye is back. Okay, I'll go back now..."

Gan Ning hung up the phone excitedly, thought for a moment, and shouted, "Xiao Ye, come here!"

Ye Wen is her secretary, busy in the office outside.

Hearing the leader's call, Ye Wen immediately stood up and walked quickly into the inner room.

"Secretary, what instructions do you have?"

Gan Ning adjusted the frame of his glasses and said to Xiao Ye, "Go and inform the other standing committee leaders that the meeting originally scheduled for this afternoon has been cancelled and will be rescheduled to tomorrow morning."

Ye Wen nodded and said, "Okay, Secretary, do you have any other instructions?"

Gan Ning smiled and shook her head, then said to her, "I'll be home in the afternoon. Call my house if you have anything."

Ye Wen was surprised. Secretary Gan has always been a workaholic, so why would he suddenly skip work and go home?

"Secretary, is there something wrong at home? Do you need my help?"

Gan Ning smiled and shook her head again: "Nothing, my lover is back, he is very busy, I have to go back to see him."

When Ye Wen heard this, her eyes lit up. Secretary Gan’s lover was none other than Commander Liu who led the army to defeat the “ungrateful bastards”!

In the past two years, the heroes on the front line have been the most publicized in newspapers and on television.

As the actual commander-in-chief of the army, Liu Zhiye fought another beautiful battle and was reported by many sources.

Now it is known to almost everyone, young and old.

Ye Wen, a young girl, has great admiration for heroes.

She is Gan Ning's close friend and often goes to Gan Ning's home.

There, she had the opportunity to see Liu Zhiye's old photos in military uniform.

Liu Zhiye in the photo has grown from youth to middle age. His appearance has not changed, but he has become more mature and his charm has become more prominent.

Unfortunately, when Ye Wen was working as Gan Ning's secretary, Liu Zhiye had already gone to the front line, so he never saw the true God.

Unfortunately, when Ye Wen just started working as Gan Ning's secretary, Liu Zhiye had already rushed to the front line, so she never got to see this true God.

Now, when Ye Wen heard that Chief Liu was back, she was as excited as a fan chasing a star, and hurriedly said, "Secretary, please take me back too. I haven't met Chief Liu yet!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but chuckled after hearing this. "You have to guard your post well. Besides, aren't you afraid of him? He was wiped out at the front line..."

Ye Wen was young after all, so she immediately replied: "I'm not afraid. Commander Liu is defending his country, he is a great hero!"

…………

When Liu Zhiye returned home, the Liu family's home suddenly became bustling with activity.

Upon learning the news of his return, Liu Zhitai, who had already joined the "Haizi" health care team, hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back.

Accompanying him was his wife He Hongmei, who is the deputy director of the Department of Gynecology at Union Hospital.

Even Liu Tielin, who was busy with the follow-up work of the "train station bombing case", found time to return home.

The old man, the eldest uncle's family, the third uncle, and seven or eight people from three generations of the Liu family filled the three tables.

Everyone was talking to Liu Zhiye about what was happening on the front line.

In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, Liu Zhiye talked about some of the things he could.

Liu Zhiye had to go back to the front line in the evening, so he didn't dare to drink too much and just took a few sips.

Everyone was aware of his condition, and when they had finished drinking, they left early.

The couple Liu Jingzhai and Deng Ru left tactfully, leaving the time to Liu Zhiye and his wife.

Liu Zhiye looked at his beloved wife with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry that you've suffered during the two years I've been away from home. I..."

Gan Ning quickly covered Liu Zhiye's mouth with her fingers and whispered, "I'm not tired, it's you who's working hard. You're responsible for the battles of hundreds of thousands of troops. I understand the pressure. You don't have to worry about the family, I'm here."

Liu Zhiye hugged her tightly in his arms, feeling emotional: With such an understanding and sensible wife, what more could a husband ask for!
"But I'll be back soon!"

Gan Ning was delighted when he heard this and asked, "Really?"

Liu Zhiye nodded at her and said, "My job may change. If everything goes well, I hope to return to Yanda to serve as the director..."

Gan Ning was surprised and said, "Oh, so you are going to be promoted again!"

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, "It doesn't matter whether I get promoted or not, the main thing is that now that I'm back, we don't have to live apart anymore."

After bidding farewell to his family reluctantly, Liu Zhiye set out on his journey home again.

This time, time was not so tight, so Liu Zhiye and his group did not take the transport plane.

Instead, I chose to take a more comfortable civil aviation flight back.

On the tarmac, several tourists were walking towards the passenger plane carrying large and small bags.

From a distance, the two boarding gates were in good order, the cement concrete runway on the ground was spacious and flat, and the number of people did not seem to be very large.

If you count them carefully, there are not many large aircraft in the country these days.

At that time, the shipping aircraft could not carry many passengers, usually only a few dozen people.

There are only a dozen medium-to-large aircraft with a passenger capacity of more than 100 people in the country, less than 100 airports, and the annual passenger volume is only more than 3 million.

In this case, flying is naturally a very trendy thing.

Liu Zhiye and his crew were on a Y-7-100 passenger plane.

This is the first domestically produced passenger aircraft used on the main line of Xia Civil Aviation.

This model was improved by Xi'an Aircraft Corporation based on the Y-7, and domestic equipment was used to make it a small passenger aircraft.

It has 52 seats and is equipped with air conditioning. A total of 50 aircraft have been delivered to various airlines, opening up the domestic aircraft market.

At this time, most of the domestic passenger aircraft were not the Airbus that we often see in later generations, but Yun-7, Tu-154 and 146.

The ladders used by passengers to board the plane at that time were not like the passenger ladders of later generations, which could be folded and stored on the plane.

Although the plane is not very good, the pilot's skills are first-class.

The pilots these days are all military men.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, domestic pilots were “one in a million”.

The shortage of pilots in recent years has been unable to meet the needs of the development of the civil aviation industry.

So this year, the 14th Aviation School in China was renamed Xia National Civil Aviation College, which specializes in training civil aviation talents.

On the first day of public enrollment at the school in Sichuan Province, local buses were filled with candidates heading to the flight recruitment experience site, creating a spectacular scene.

Others see that there are many applicants, but the admission rate is very low, and there are strict requirements for pilot admission.

"This is the first time that the country has a college entrance examination score requirement for pilots."

Flying these days is not as enjoyable as it is in later times.

A few years ago, the food served on airplane tables was still cucumbers and eggplants, so the concept of airline meals basically did not exist.

Airplane meals are a bit like canteen lunch boxes, and are distributed to passengers in aluminum lunch boxes.

A more refined airplane meal combination is a boiled egg with a piece of cake, or the Shanghai specialty "White Rabbit Milk Candy".

Each passenger will be given a piece of chewing gum so that they can chew it to relieve the discomfort of flying.

By the end of the 1970s, in-flight services had gradually improved.

In-flight meals have begun to upgrade significantly. In addition to ordinary meals, the food provided on domestic flights also includes local specialties such as Beijing roast duck.

In addition, Moutai and other liquors have also appeared on some flights.

By the early 80s, the first "ten thousand yuan household" appeared in Xiaguo.

Airplanes are no longer a means of transportation for only a few people. Although one needs to apply in advance with a letter of introduction from the unit and other supporting documents, it is no longer an impossible thing.

However, air tickets are still very expensive. An economy class ticket from Beijing to Spring City costs about 70 yuan, and the average monthly salary at that time is about 40 yuan.

With a hand-filled registration card in hand, you can start your journey.

The security checks at that time did not have the advanced equipment of later generations, so cigarettes and matches could be brought on board the plane.

If you are sitting in first class, the flight attendant will prepare all kinds of food and drinks for you, including Beijing roast duck, steak, Western pastries, Maotai, Taihang, and Yanjing beer.
