Chapter 390: Join the Army or Enter Politics
"Secretary Yuliang, I understand the differences between the military and politics, but I don't think that means I can't make a difference in both areas. I can exercise my leadership and decision-making ability in the military, and at the same time contribute to the security of the country. And in the future, if necessary, I can also apply the experience and qualities I gained in the military to political work."
Gao Yuliang shook his head, frowning. "You think too simply. The military has its own system, and politics has its own circles. Once you enter the military, you will be labeled a soldier, and you will face many difficulties if you want to return to the political field. Moreover, the military's decisions and actions are often based on military strategy and national security considerations, which sometimes conflict with political considerations. How do you deal with it?"
Qi Tongwei straightened his back and said without flinching, "Secretary Yuliang, I believe I have enough wisdom and ability to deal with these challenges. I will work hard to improve myself in the army, and at the same time I will keep an eye on politics. If a conflict really arises, I will put the interests of the country first and make the right choice."
Gao Yuliang sighed deeply, knowing that he could no longer change Qi Tongwei's decision. He waved his hand helplessly, signaling Qi Tongwei to leave. Qi Tongwei saluted with a standard military salute, then turned and left. Looking at Qi Tongwei's back, Gao Yuliang was filled with worry.
Gao Yuliang returned to his office, sat at his desk, and fell into deep thought. He knew that Qi Tongwei's choice might bring a series of consequences, and he had to find a way to deal with it. He decided to discuss the matter with Liang Qunfeng, after all, Liang Qunfeng had rich experience and profound influence in the political field.
Gao Yuliang came to Liang Qunfeng's office, Liang Qunfeng was reading a document. Seeing Gao Yuliang coming in, he put down the document and smiled and motioned Gao Yuliang to sit down.
"Yuliang, what brings you here?" Liang Qunfeng asked.
Gao Yuliang said solemnly, "Secretary Liang, I am here for Qi Tongwei's matter. Qi Tongwei decided to join the army, and I strongly opposed it, but he insisted on doing it. I am worried that his choice will have an adverse impact on us."
Liang Qunfeng frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "Qi Tongwei joined the army? This is indeed a little beyond my expectation. However, this may not be a bad thing."
Gao Yuliang looked at Liang Qunfeng in surprise. "Secretary Liang, why do you think so? You should be very clear about the contradiction between the military and the government. Once Qi Tongwei joins the army, he may be out of our control and may cause us a lot of trouble in the future."
Liang Qunfeng smiled and said, "Yuliang, you should not only see the contradiction between the military and politics, but also the connection between them. Qi Tongwei's military service can establish a contact point for us in the military. If we can guide him correctly, he can also serve our political goals in the military. Moreover, his experience in the military can also add luster to his future political career."
Gao Yuliang was still full of doubts after hearing Liang Qunfeng's words. "Secretary Liang, what you said makes sense, but I am still worried that Qi Tongwei will be influenced by other forces in the army and lose our control over him."
Liang Qunfeng patted Gao Yuliang on the shoulder and said, "Yuliang, don't worry too much. Qi Tongwei is a smart young man who knows where his own interests lie. As long as we give him support and guidance at the right time, he will be useful to us. Moreover, we can also learn about his situation in the army through other channels to ensure that he will not deviate from our direction."
Gao Yuliang nodded, but the worry in his heart was not completely eliminated. He knew that Qi Tongwei's choice had become an established fact, and they could only try their best to adapt to this change and find the best solution.
In the following days, Gao Yuliang paid close attention to Qi Tongwei's development in the army. He collected information about Qi Tongwei through various channels, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to use Qi Tongwei's position in the army to serve his own political goals.
Qi Tongwei studied and trained hard in the army, constantly improving his military literacy and leadership skills. He knew what his choice meant and understood the great responsibility he shouldered. He was determined to make achievements in the army and fight for the security and honor of the country.
As time went on, Qi Tongwei performed better and better in the army. He led his troops in many military operations and achieved remarkable results. His name gradually spread in the army and he became a highly respected general.
However, Gao Yuliang's worries did not disappear. He found that Qi Tongwei's position in the army was getting higher and higher, and his contacts with other forces were increasing. He was worried that Qi Tongwei would be wooed by other forces and lose his loyalty to them.
In order to ensure Qi Tongwei's loyalty, Gao Yuliang decided to take some measures. He began to contact Qi Tongwei frequently and convey political instructions and requirements to him. At the same time, he also put pressure on Qi Tongwei through various means to let him know that his political future was still in their hands.
Qi Tongwei felt the pressure from Gao Yuliang, but he did not give in. He knew that his choice was correct and that he had to stick to his beliefs. He continued to work hard in the army, while also thinking about how to balance the relationship between politics and the military.
In this process, Qi Tongwei gradually realized the complex relationship between the military and politics. He understood that both politics and the military serve the interests of the country, but their ways and methods are different. He began to try to find a balance between the two, contributing to the development of the army and the political stability of the country.
In the ever-changing situation, Qi Tongwei's development in the army caused an uproar. When Zhao Ruilong learned of Qi Tongwei's military background, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he immediately reported the news to Zhao Lichun.
Zhao Lichun sat in a luxurious but slightly depressing office, and after listening to Zhao Ruilong's report, he fell into a long silence. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, with surprise, worry, and a hint of unwillingness.
"I didn't expect that Qi Tongwei would turn a disaster into a blessing." Zhao Lichun's voice was low and full of helplessness. He was well aware of the delicate relationship between the military and the government, and Qi Tongwei's transformation undoubtedly disrupted his original plan.
Zhao Lichun decided to negotiate with Liang Qunfeng in an attempt to turn the situation in his favor.
