Zhou Rongxin and Wei Hongjun had frequent contact since becoming Party Secretary of the Pingsui Railway Bureau. Later, while serving in the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau and the North China Bureau, their interactions became even more intense. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, both served in the Finance and Economics Committee.

Zhou Rongxin was not very famous in later generations, and most people didn't know him.

But in history, he was known as one of Deng Xixian's "Four Great Generals", and was a cadre known as such along with Wan Li, Hu Guogang and Zhang Aiping.

Zhou Rongxin was appointed Director of the Personnel Bureau, and Zhao Han was appointed Deputy Director. Yang Xiufeng was appointed Director of the National Organization Committee, and the Central Committee approved An Ziwen's transfer. An Ziwen had extensive experience, and after arriving at the Organization Department, he became First Deputy Minister.

After dealing with these matters, Wei Hongjun was about to head south.

But suddenly, many people came to Wei Hongjun to complain, saying that Yang Quanwu was like "Japanese invaders in the village", extorting money everywhere. Before Wei Hongjun left, he also wanted to see Yang Quanwu, but unexpectedly, Yang Quanwu found Wei Hongjun.

"Look, this is all a complaint against you."

Wei Hongjun had originally thought that Yang Quanwu might be depressed for a while after leaving the General Staff Headquarters, but he never expected that Yang Quanwu would be in extremely good spirits and look rosy.

Really lively and energetic.

Yang Quanwu looked at the letters of complaint, smiled and said: "If this happened during the war years, these would all be my achievements. It was because I stepped forward, otherwise these people would never have been able to take them down." Seeing Yang Quanwu's smugness, Wei Hongjun suddenly didn't know what to say.

This is Yang Quanwu's character.

Despite his current high position, Yang Quanwu's personality has clearly not changed much. He remains carefree, arrogant, and unfazed, doing things without fear of offending others. But things are different now than they were during the war.

In wartime, as long as you can fight and destroy the enemy, minor character flaws won't have much of an impact. People will only see your brilliance on the battlefield. Many things can be covered up.

But peacetime is different. Many seemingly minor character flaws can be magnified infinitely. So Wei Hongjun said, "Old leader, you should be more low-key. You don't hire people this way. Many of the people you've snatched are treasures from various departments. You've just taken them away like that, and you've offended so many people."

It's only been a few days.

Yang Quanwu has already offended so many departments.

Fortunately, many of the current cadres in central government ministries and universities hail from North China, or even from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region. They all know Yang Quanwu's temper and understand that he's just the kind of person he is. So, despite being "hated by everyone," they simply complained to Wei Hongjun, hoping that he could help rein him in.

But what about everyone else?

In their eyes, Yang Quanwu is a "bandit".

Hearing Wei Hongjun's words, Yang Quanwu put away his smile and said, "It's not that I want to do this, but time waits for no one. You also know that the Nuclear Industry Commission has just been established and is short of people everywhere. Do you know what the situation was when I just took over the Nuclear Industry Bureau? The Nuclear Industry Bureau has a theoretical research group with only six people in total. What can six people do? The work over there is almost stagnant. But this is not the Nuclear Industry Bureau's fault. At present, the experts who can participate in the nuclear industry in our country are basically big experts who have returned from abroad. Each one is a treasure of various departments and schools. What should I do? I have no one, so I can only poach people."

"Then you can't rob people like this."

"I have to rob them. And the number of people I robbed is actually not that large. I am now going to set up a university and train the students I need. Many students should participate in the preliminary research work while studying."

Although Yang Quanwu was suddenly transferred to the Nuclear Industry Bureau.

But Yang Quanwu showed no sign of panic. Compared to the division of troops at Mount Wutai, Marshal Nie had only 3000 men. Establishing a base with such a small number of men was a real challenge, but conditions were much better now. For cadres like Yang Quanwu, who were involved in establishing a base, the last thing they feared was pioneering new ventures.

As soon as he was transferred to the Nuclear Industry Commission, he had a rough plan.

Wei Hongjun knew he couldn't persuade Yang Quanwu, but he still reminded him, "Old leader, if you have your eye on someone from the military, go find Comrade Zhao Lu. If it's from the government, or if you need to transfer someone from the school, you can tell me. Don't do it yourself."

"Old Zhao is a good guy. It's not good for him to offend too many people. He's best suited to doing his job honestly. As for you, don't get involved in this kind of thing. You're dealing with the big things, don't worry about these small things. Besides, everyone knows that I have a bad temper, so it's convenient for me to do anything. Anyway, I can act like a rogue, hahahaha."

Yang Quanwu laughed out loud.

Seeing Yang Quanwu's expression, Wei Hongjun could only smile and said, "One more thing. Your Nuclear Industry Commission's political review is very strict, so don't make promises to others casually. You still have to pay attention to confidentiality regulations."

"Yeah, I know. Don't forget, I also come from a political work background."

Yang Quanwu suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot why I came to see you today. I want to borrow two people from you."

"Who?"

"Comrade Han Wei and Comrade Sun Yi."

"What are you doing?"

"I can't handle it alone. There are too many things to deal with. I am going to report to the Central Committee and hope to assign me a deputy director. Comrade Han Wei is a cadre who can get things done. Comrade Sun Yi came to help me set up the school. Now our party has led troops to fight, established universities, and successfully accepted university cadres. Sun Yi is the best. Although he is a military cadre,

But he can get along very well with scholars. After all, the main force in developing the atomic bomb is scholars. Our cadres must first be able to get along with these scholars. Comrade Sun Yi is the most suitable."

Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "Old leader, I have no objection. But you'd better talk to them and listen to their ideas."

"As long as you agree."

Yang Quanwu was very familiar with Han Wei and Sun Yi. Especially Han Wei, who had fought with Yang Quanwu for many years. Yang Quanwu stood up and said, "I have something else to do. Let's have dinner together when I'm free."

After saying that, Yang Quanwu left Wei Hongjun's office in a hurry.

Wei Hongjun smiled as he watched Yang Quanwu's back. Yang Quanwu looked even more alive this way. Yang Quanwu also hurriedly prepared to travel south to Guangdong.

875 Deng Zhihui's support

Wei Hongjun and Li Shaocheng went south together.

Wei Hongjun was there for the rubber campaign, while Li Shaocheng was there to inspect the mutual aid societies of the Central South Bureau. While the two men were traveling south, changes occurred in both the State Council and the Military Commission. The Chairman convened a meeting of the Secretariat to discuss matters concerning the Meteorological Bureau.

The Chairman listened to Wei Hongjun's advice.

After several days of deliberation, I discussed the issue with the Premier, the Commander-in-Chief, and Comrade Xiuyang. Finally, after reaching a consensus, I convened a meeting of the Secretariat.

China currently has a Meteorological Bureau. It was established when the People's Republic of China was founded. However, this bureau is not a government department, but rather a military department, known as the Central Military Commission Meteorological Bureau. Its primary mission is to serve the military, so weather forecasts are naturally kept confidential.

At this Secretariat meeting, the Chairman proposed that the current Central Military Commission's Meteorological Bureau be transformed into a Central Meteorological Bureau under the State Council. Simultaneously, each province would establish its own meteorological department. All weather forecasts would be fully disclosed to the public. Any extreme weather events would be reported down to the county level.

The county then made unified arrangements and notified each village of the weather. This was a first in history.

Since ancient times, meteorology has been controlled by the imperial family. This is because Chinese history has always emphasized the "correspondence between heaven and man," believing that meteorology was closely linked to the emperor and important officials. In modern times, meteorology has become closely linked to the military, resulting in its tight control by the military. Consequently, meteorology has always been isolated from ordinary people.

But in fact, the people who need to know about weather changes the most are the vast number of farmers.

Finally, the Secretariat discussed and passed the decision, and the Central Military Commission Meteorological Bureau was officially renamed the Central Meteorological Administration. From a Military Commission agency, it became a department of the State Council.

While the Secretariat was discussing the Meteorological Bureau issue, the Military Commission was also undergoing some adjustments. Yang Quanwu, with his distinguished military achievements and acting commander and political commissar of the Fifth Field Army, far surpassed the other deputy chiefs of the general staff in both military achievements and capabilities. Therefore, when Yang Quanwu held the position of acting chief of the general staff, the general staff was relatively stable. However, now that Yang Quanwu has left the military commission, the remaining chief position within the general staff has become a highly sought-after position.

As Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, General Peng nominated Huang Kecheng as Chief of the General Staff. This time, General Peng also understood.

The position of Chief of General Staff is very important.

If the Chief of General Staff doesn't cooperate with the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, many of the Central Military Commission's tasks will be disrupted. General Peng had led troops in battles for many years, and he had seen some unruly officers before. But it was rare to see someone as unruly as Yang Quanwu, who ultimately caused General Peng to suffer.

So General Peng wanted a cadre he was familiar with and could work with him, and he chose Huang Kecheng.

However, the Premier presided over a meeting of the Military Commission, but he did not approve General Peng's nomination. The Military Commission ultimately decided to transfer Su Yu, the First Deputy Commander of the East China Field Army, to Beijing to serve as the new Chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission. Huang Kecheng, nominated by General Peng, was appointed Secretary-General of the Military Commission and Deputy Chief of the General Staff.

When the train arrived in Wuhan, Wei Hongjun got off.

Wei Hongjun wanted to meet with Deng Zhihui, the First Secretary of the Central South Bureau, before traveling south with him to convene a meeting on the rubber war. When Wei Hongjun arrived in Wuhan, it wasn't the Central South Bureau officials who came to meet him, but rather officials from the Central South Military Region. Luo Renfa, Deputy Political Commissar and Director of the Political Department of the Central South Military Region, and Wang Qiuyun, Deputy Commander of the Central South Military Region, came to meet him.

"The Korean War was fought well."

Luo Renfa saw Wei Hongjun getting off the train, walked over to hug Wei Hongjun, and then patted Wei Hongjun on the back. Luo Renfa really didn't expect this.

When Wei Hongjun joined the Red Guards, he was still a young, ignorant child. Because his family was poor and he hadn't had a good diet, the fourteen-year-old Wei Hongjun was skinny and short. Because he was so thin, Luo Renfa kept him with him, using him as an errand boy and not even giving him a red tassel spear.

But who could have thought that Wei Hongjun would reach this point.

When he arrived in North Korea, he brought glory to the country.

Yan You Yourong.

Seeing Wei Hongjun achieve such results, Luo Renfa felt like he was seeing his own child.

Wang Qiuyun, who was standing nearby, patted Wei Hongjun on the shoulder and said, "My biggest regret is not being able to go to North Korea in person to teach American imperialism a lesson. But if you go, it will be just like me going there."

“Everything is fine lately.

Wei Hongjun looked at the two of them very kindly.

In Wei Hongjun's mind, Luo Renfa and Wang Qiuyun were like brothers. They were both members of the same Red Guard and had been partners for over a decade. Luo Renfa was not only Wei Hongjun's revolutionary leader, but he also taught him his first word.

The feelings are naturally different.

"fine.

Luo Renfa nodded.

Then he looked at Li Shaocheng who had come with him and said, "Minister Li, welcome." "Director Luo, Commander Wang."

Li Shaocheng did not greet Luo Renfa and Wang Qiuyun as casually as Wei Hongjun did.

Because Li Shaocheng came to the Shengxian base after attending training in the First Division. At that time, when Li Shaocheng was training at the First Division Cadre School, Luo Renfa, as the director of the Political Department of the First Division, gave them many lectures.

As for Wang Qiuyun, there is no need to mention her.

Although Wang Qiuyun was in charge of the Eighth Column's military operations and Li Shaocheng was a local cadre, Wang Qiuyun was still the commander of the Eighth Column. So, even though Li Shaocheng was now the acting Minister of Agriculture, he still lowered his stance in front of his two senior leaders, Luo Renfa and Wang Qiuyun. Luo Renfa was very polite, calling Li Shaocheng "Minister Li."

Wang Qiuyun is different.

After seeing Li Shaocheng, he gently hit Li Shaocheng with his fist and said, "Old Li, long time no see." "Commander, my body can't withstand your beating."

Wang Qiuyun's reaction immediately dispelled the original sense of strangeness. They were all old comrades.

Although we hadn't seen each other for a few years, there was soon no estrangement between us.

Wei Hongjun apologized, "I can't stay in Wuhan for long. After I meet with Secretary Deng to discuss some things, I'll go south with him. You don't have to come pick me up." "We won't interfere with your work."

Luo Renfa nodded and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while. Since you passed by Wuhan, how could we not come and say hello?"

"that is."

Wang Qiuyun hugged Wei Hongjun and said: "You will be based in Beijing in the future, and I don't know where I will be assigned to work. It may not be easy for us to meet in the future." Although the Eighth Congress had not yet been held.

However, some personnel appointments will still be considered before the meeting.

Unless something major happens, everyone will already know where some positions are. The central government is currently planning a new division of military regions, and if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Qiuyun will be stationed in Wuhan. A meeting between the two isn't so easy.

"Don't say that."

Wei Hongjun changed the subject.

I knew what was going on, but some things were hard to say publicly. "Come on, take my car. I'll take you to Secretary Deng."

"Vice Premier Wei, I'll take the car in the back."

Li Shaocheng is very tactful.

Give them three old comrades space to reminisce about the past. Li Shaocheng also understands their feelings. After all, of the Red Guards organized by Luo Renfa, only three of them are still alive. "What's wrong with Lao Yang?"

After getting in the car, Luo Renfa frowned.

When word of the Military Commission's affairs reached the Central-South Military Region, Luo Renfa was horrified. Yang Quanwu, Luo Renfa, and Huang Fa were once the iron triangle of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei First Division in western Fujian. Many people criticized Yang Quanwu for his factional activities and brought up Luo Renfa and Huang Fa.

The friendship is not ordinary.

Wei Hongjun shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. The General Staff is a busy place, and his personality isn't suited to being there. He's better suited to pioneering careers than working in government offices. He's doing fine now."

Luo Renfa still couldn't let it go.
