Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

The "basic pension" is obviously very consistent with the fairness that the Chairman usually pursues.

So when he saw the document Zhao Han gave him, he immediately analyzed it and realized that this was the Chairman's idea and also the idea of ​​Wei Hongjun, the successor. In other words, this was something the Chairman and Wei Hongjun decided together.

But why did Wei Hongjun come to me? It must be that I need to prove the correctness of this idea from a theoretical perspective and I need to advocate for this policy in the field of propaganda.

After this analysis, Zhang Qiuqiao knew that his chance had come. Although Zhang Qiuqiao was favored by Ke Qingshi in Shanghai, Shanghai alone was far from enough to satisfy Zhang Qiuqiao's ambitions.

The political resources that Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Ke Qingshi can bring to himself and the future that Wei Hongjun, the successor, can bring to himself are completely on a different level.

If I meet Wei Hongjun and get Wei Hongjun's affirmation, I will be able to soar to the sky.

So when faced with Wei Hongjun's question, Zhang Qiuqiao did not hesitate at all and immediately expressed his opinion.

Wei Hongjun nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Qiuqiao's attitude. Wei Hongjun actually didn't care what Zhang Qiuqiao thought.

What Wei Hongjun wanted was Zhang Qiuqiao's outstanding theoretical foundation and writing skills.

"Comrade Wei Hongjie, what do you think?"

Compared with cadres like Zhang Qiuqiao who like to speculate in politics, Wei Hongjie has much better ethics.

Regardless of whether Wei Hongjie's pursuit is right or wrong, he is not the kind of cadre who wavers. In the 1990s and the beginning of the new century, the Chinese public opinion environment was completely different. But Wei Hongjie has always insisted on the "continued revolution theory", so much so that

The central government even sent people to warn him not to speak carelessly. There was even a rumor that some central leaders suggested expelling Wei Hongjie from the party.

Another time, a central leader publicly stated that Marx's "surplus value theory" was wrong, but was criticized by Wei Hongjie, which made the central leader very angry.

It can be seen that compared with politicians, Wei Hongjie has more of the persistence of a literati.

A cadre like Wei Hongjie is actually not suitable for being involved in political turmoil, but is more suitable to be an outstanding writer.

But this time, Wei Hongjun still found Wei Hongjie because he needed a cadre like Wei Hongjie who was brave enough to stick to his principles, not afraid of being besieged by others, and who was well-known in the cultural field.

Wei Hongjun dared to guarantee that on the issue of "basic pension", if Wei Hongjun lost power in the future, Zhang Qiuqiao would not say

His attitude will definitely change, but Wei Hongjie will definitely insist.

Of course, given the current development of cadres in Jin-Cha-Ji, no matter what problems Wei Hongjie encounters, Wei Hongjun will still be able to help him.

"Secretary Wei, I think there's a very good point here. When we're working, everyone has different revolutionary tasks, and according to the 'pay according to work' system, our salaries and benefits will vary. But after retirement, when no one works, the issue of 'pay according to work' doesn't exist."

"So you also support the 'basic pension'."

"Yes."

Wei Hongjie nodded.

He said with certainty: "When we retire, we will change from socialist working people to socialist retired people. The distribution method between working people and retired people will be different.

The distribution model for working people will naturally be different, and the distribution model for retired people cannot be applied to them.

“The working people should follow the socialist system of ‘distribution according to work’, while the retired people should embody the socialist fair system.

Both Zhang Qiuqiao and Wei Hongjie were able to quickly grasp the core issue of "basic pension".

Zhang Qiuqiao, constantly analyzing the preferences of leaders like the Chairman and a highly educated propaganda cadre, has consistently criticized the "bourgeois legal system" from a theoretical perspective. He also approached the "basic pension" from this perspective.

Wei Hongjie was different. He was a scholar who joined the revolution with great ideals. So his first consideration was fairness.

But no matter which aspect they start from, both of them have expressed their support for the "basic pension" policy.

hold.

Wei Hongjun said, "Good policies, correct policies, are not necessarily easily accepted within the Party. I called you here today to raise this issue and to hear the opinions of the Party more broadly."

"Secretary Wei, this is a major matter concerning the development of socialism, and I have no choice but to shoulder my responsibility."

Zhang Qiuqiao immediately expressed his determination.

Zhang Qiuqiao would never miss any opportunity to show his abilities. Although he also came from the Jin-Cha-Ji system and had worked under Wei Hongjun for several years, after all, more than ten years had passed, and Zhang Qiuqiao needed to reestablish contact with Wei Hongjun.

Now that Wei Hongjun thought of him and wanted him to charge into battle, Zhang Qiuqiao certainly couldn't retreat. If this matter was done well, in the future, whether he went to the Propaganda Department or the Central Policy Research Office, or even became Wei Hongjun's political secretary, he would be in a good position.

Books are a very good future for Zhang Qiuqiao.

Zhang Qiuqiao is currently targeting Chen Boda, alternate member of the Politburo and alternate secretary of the Secretariat, and currently director of the Central Policy Research Office. Chen Boda started out as the chairman's political secretary and rose to his current position. Who says he wouldn't have reached this position if he had been Wei Hongjun's political secretary?

Wei Hongjie also said: "Secretary Wei, I will obey your instructions."

Wei Hongjie couldn't give such an exaggerated answer as Zhang Qiuqiao.

"Have you thought about how to approach this topic?"

Zhang Qiuqiao said, "Secretary Wei, my idea is to discuss the issue of 'distribution according to work' first."

Zhang Qiuqiao is not just a flower with ambition but no ability.

On the contrary, Zhang Qiuqiao was an ambitious and equally capable cadre.

I had reviewed this matter before coming to see Wei Hongjun.

So, in response to Wei Hongjun's question, he continued without hesitation, "We should first raise the question theoretically. That is, while people are working, they should be paid according to their work. But after retirement, when people no longer work, should they still be paid according to their work?"

"As long as this theoretical issue is raised, more people will inevitably participate in the discussion. Further exploration of this issue will naturally lead to the issue of pensions. At this point, the question of 'basic pensions' can be raised. Proving theoretically that retirees do not fall under the 'distribution according to work' framework and should receive a 'basic pension' will be widely disseminated within the Party."

Talking directly about "basic pension" is a very

Reckless things.

Zhang Qiuqiao should start with "distribution according to work" and gradually introduce the issue of "basic pensions." If this guidance is successful, others will even propose it without him even having to mention it himself. It can be said that Zhang Qiuqiao is not only a skilled writer, but also a master of political tactics.

Wei Hongjun still admired Zhang Qiuqiao's abilities. If it weren't for his complicated history and questionable political integrity, he would have wanted to bring him to his side. But even if he wasn't around, he still had to use him when necessary.

"Once the topic of 'basic pension' comes up, you will be under great pressure. 53

Wei Hongjun did not hide anything and told them directly that this was not an easy task.

Wei Hongjun will not easily come out to support them. Wei Hongjun needs to adjust himself according to the changes in public opinion.

Wei Hongjun would not blindly promote a policy that the entire party opposes, no matter how correct it is.

Because blindly pushing the policy will result in the policy's desired effects being completely ineffective. How can it be properly implemented without the Party's acceptance?

At this time, we must gradually persuade our comrades within the Party and convince them. Once they understand, we can then promote it.

The same applies to "basic pensions." As the party's successor, Wei Hongjun can't step down immediately. If he's pushed back by the majority of the party, how will he step down?

Therefore, during the discussion of this issue, if public opinion is unfavorable and Wei Hongjun is unable to directly support it, the two of them will be under great pressure.

"Secretary Wei, when doing revolutionary work, you can't be afraid of wolves.

Don't be too concerned about personal gains and losses."

If it were just about work, Wei Hongjie wouldn't have been upset. But hearing about pressure made him stubborn. Back then, as students, they risked their lives to join the revolution. Now, in peaceful times, even if there was some pressure or criticism, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Zhang Qiuqiao glanced at Wei Hongjie and couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't know whether Wei Hongjie really thought so, or was just showing off in front of Wei Hongjun.

Zhang Qiuqiao didn't care what the specific details were. In his mind, Wei Hongjie wasn't a qualified politician, and wouldn't become an obstacle to his political future.

Zhang Qiuqiao expressed his thoughts and said: "Secretary Wei, when the issue of pension is discussed, there must be some heavyweight cadres in the party who support the 'basic pension'. Only in this way can the discussion continue.

Without the support of senior Party officials, there would likely be no discussion of the pension issue.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

As expected, when it comes to getting things done, Zhang Qiuqiao is more resourceful and capable than Wei Hongjie.

"Do you have a choice in mind?"

"Have."

"Tell me about it."

The issue of "basic pension" is too big, and the Dawei Red Army is also cautious. However, such a matter must have the support of party cadres.

In Wei Hongjun's mind, there are two cadres in the Politburo who can support the "basic pension" policy at the first time.

One is General Peng, and the other is Deng Zhihui. Just like General Peng, although he learned from the Soviet Union's regularization in his early years, he believed that the "one-leader system" was in line with the development of a modern army.

But he did not have a very favorable impression of the military rank system, and he believed several times that the military rank system created a gap between officers and soldiers in the People's Liberation Army.

But Wei Hongjun did not want to involve the Politburo members in this discussion too quickly.

"Comrade Ke Qingshi. Comrade Ke Qingshi and I worked together in Shanghai for many years, and he has also been thinking about how to limit the expansion of bourgeois legal rights. Comrade Ke Qingshi would definitely support the 'basic pension' model."

Zhang Qiuqiao immediately recommended Ke Qingshi.

Zhang Qiuqiao wanted to capture Wei Hongjun, but that didn't mean he was parting ways with Ke Qingshi. The two had a long-standing revolutionary friendship, so of course they were going to help each other.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Zhang Qiuqiao will certainly not forget Ke Qingshi.

Ke Qingshi served as the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee for many years. Shanghai's economic development in recent years has been a revelation. Many high-tech industrial breakthroughs have been made in Shanghai. The Chairman has praised Ke Qingshi's work in Shanghai on several occasions.

In addition to Ke Qingshi's qualifications, as long as there are bigwigs in the central government willing to support him, Ke Qingshi is fully qualified to enter the central government among the top ten.

"Having Comrade Ke Qingshi's support is certainly a good thing."

Wei Hongjun nodded.

Like Zhang Qiuqiao, Ke Qingshi was a cadre with outstanding abilities who dared to take risks for the sake of his political future.

With the Tenth National Congress approaching, Ke Qingshi and Zhang Qiuqiao joining forces can leverage the propaganda power of the entire Shanghai.

"Then Comrade Wei Hongjie will first raise the issue of the allocation of retirees. After everyone begins the discussion, Shanghai will follow up."

"Yes."

1107 Invitation to the Five-Nation Conference

After Wei Hongjun took charge of the central government, he sought overall stability at both the central and local levels. However, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, as the Tenth National Congress was approaching, and large-scale personnel adjustments were inevitable.

How to strike the balance is Wei Hongjun’s current focus.

While Wei Hongjun was doing his best to make China move forward steadily, the fighting in Indochina became increasingly fierce.

After more than five months of the Vietnam War of Unification, the Vietnam People's Army did control most of Vietnam.

The Vietnamese People's Army concentrated its forces and launched several attacks in Saigon, trying to break the defense line built by the US military.

Completely liberate the Saigon area.

Relying on its powerful naval forces and air superiority, the US military launched a fierce battle with the Vietnamese People's Army in the Saigon area.

Although the Vietnamese People's Army received training from Soviet military advisors, their tactical proficiency in this offensive and defensive battle was mediocre. However, their greatest strength was their high morale and fearlessness of sacrifice. The offensive and defensive battles in the Saigon area resulted in heavy casualties on both sides.

But more than five months later, the United States had already made extensive preparations. Upon taking office, Kennedy quickly responded to the deteriorating situation in Vietnam. Congress quickly approved Kennedy's military spending plan. Congress approved a temporary $1961 billion increase in the 82.5 defense budget, along with measures such as calling up some reservists and expanding civil defense.

Then American troops from all over the country began to gather in Saigon.
