Lin Liguo pulled the globe on the desk, and the globe spun rapidly. He stared at the globe until it slowly stopped, then pulled it hard again, then moved his fat body with his hands behind his back, and started to walk.This is in his own room in Lin Biao's residence in Maojiawan. Lin Liguo is thinking about his upcoming major political actions.He paced back and forth twice, and then returned to the desk. The globe had already been motionless, and he stared at the globe in reverie. Globes are such a special thing that a man who really has the consciousness of a statesman will have a globe on his desk.The world is big, but not too big.If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer China; if you want to conquer China, you must work hard every day and make progress every day.He pulled the globe again, and the globe rotated smoothly.Ordinarily, he has advanced by leaps and bounds politically in the past few years: in March 1967, he joined the army and joined the Air Force Command; he joined the party on July 1, 1967; on October 17, 1969, he was appointed as the deputy director of the Air Force Office He is also the deputy director of the Operations Department; not long ago, on July 6, 1970, the Air Force Commander Wu Faxian's instruction was conveyed at the executive meeting of the Air Force Party Committee: "Lin Liguo can command and mobilize everything in the Air Force." Now, the Chinese Air Force You can listen to his command and mobilization.However, China is still very big, and if you want to command and mobilize everything in China, you still need to make efforts step by step.

His eyes fell on a document in front of him. It was a resolution passed by the Party Committee of the Political Department of the Air Force. He flipped through it. The resolution was nothing more than the implementation of Wu Faxian's "Lin Liguo can command and mobilize everything in the Air Force." Some words in the resolution jumped out: "You must always think of Lin Liguo, ask Lin Liguo for advice on everything, defend Lin Liguo at all times, follow Lin Liguo's command closely, and obey Lin Liguo's transfers obediently." He squinted his eyes and smiled sarcastically, closed the document heavily, and knocked his hands on the table with a dull sound. He was no longer satisfied with what he got, and what he had to fight for was exciting.Today is July 30, 1970. Tomorrow, July 31, 1970, he will give a lecture on studying Chairman Mao’s works at the meeting of cadres of the Air Force Command, the Political Department, and the Logistics Department to celebrate the day after tomorrow. "August 1st" Army Day.He squinted at the globe, knowing in the twilight of all the unknowns that he must have a successful political work to prove that he has not only achieved his prominent position today through the blood of his father Lin Biao; All and mobilizing all leaders must start to lay their own political capital from now on.

Since he arrived at the Air Force Command three years ago, he has realized how ridiculous it was for him to study physics at Peking University before the Cultural Revolution. It would always be a useless effort.Just three years in the army has brought him to where he is today in politics, and this is the way he wants to go.Thanks to the Cultural Revolution, without the Cultural Revolution, he would not be where he is today.He stood up vigorously, opened the screen window, looked at the yard in the night, and the light windows cast light into the yard. Once again, he felt lucky that he was born in this family. In this house in Maojiawan In the past three years, he felt that power flowed to him from all directions like water being pumped up by a pump. Lin's house in Maojiawan was indeed a remarkable residence.

The door behind him rang, he closed the screen window and turned around, saw his mother Ye Qun coming in, holding a thick stack of manuscript paper in her hand, and said: "Secretary Chu and the others revised the lecture manuscript for you, hurry up Get acquainted, wait for a while," Ye Qun raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "In half an hour, you can start the preview." Saying that, Ye Qun stuffed a stack of manuscript paper into Lin Liguo's hands.Lin Liguo took the lecture script, glanced at his mother who was half a head shorter than himself, and could only obey the arrangement.The mother opened the door to leave, but stopped again, looking up at the face with protruding cheekbones and clenched jaw, and said: "Take the time to read it again, this is written by several of them, you should familiarize yourself with their handwriting, Don’t stutter. When you finish your lecture today, I’ll arrange a typist to print it out overnight. You can use it at the conference tomorrow, and you can get the typed version, which is much clearer.”

Ye Qun pulled the door to leave, then pushed it open, looked at Lin Liguo anxiously and said, "Is half an hour enough?" Lin Liguo, who was never impatient and never disobeyed his mother's repeated orders, was holding the doorknob and was about to close the door. , and said at the same time: "Is there anything enough? That's it." Ye Qun was holding the doorknob outside, and Lin Liguo was holding the doorknob inside. The show my mother used to perform every day.At this moment, she really pulled the door to close, stopped again, pushed it open a little more, and said: "You must let go, it's like writing a manuscript by yourself, don't be embarrassed, people don't know the manuscript It was Secretary Chu and the others who drafted it for you." Lin Liguo looked at his mother who was caught between the cracks of the door and grasped the doorknob, feeling the push and pull force on the door with his mother.He knew that he must not be in a hurry. She was the one who was about to close the door. As long as you pushed, she would stop and push the door back. But tell me, when you pull the door and leave.Ye Qun finally felt that time was running out, so he said one last thing: "Then hurry up and familiarize yourself with the lecture notes, I will arrange for them to prepare for the meeting." This time, it was the mother who closed the door outside, and Lin Liguo He could only push the open door behind him, and returned to the desk with a thick stack of manuscript paper.

He sat down and flipped through the lecture notes under the desk lamp. Every page was written very neatly.He flipped through it hastily from the back to the front, and talked about eight aspects in total, each of which had several points.For him, this is just the task of reciting.Mother will hold a branch meeting of Lin Ban in a while, and he will give a speech at this meeting, which can be regarded as an exercise for the official speech tomorrow. For some reason, when he thought of the preview in a while, he felt a little dizzy. He flipped through the manuscript page by page, but couldn't get excited.He thought for a while, opened the drawer, and took out several large photos from it. Looking at them one by one, they were all beautiful girls. The youngest was 16 years old, and the oldest was 23 years old. They were selected by people from all over the country arranged by his mother.Among them, he and his mother had met many of them face to face, and some of them had even swam with him and drove them to Xishan to play.The mother was eager to choose a daughter-in-law, but he felt that either one was good, and it was better to play one by one.He squinted his eyes for a while, put the photo in the drawer, and pulled the globe in front of him again, and the globe spun leisurely.He has no time to think about pretty girls now, he has to move forward politically first.He bite the bullet and flipped through the script, while worrying that the door behind him would be knocked at any time.

Just as he was clasping the back of his head with his fingers crossed and leaning back on the back of the chair to stretch, he heard a knock on the door.He went to open the door, and it was his mother, Ye Qun. She scolded, "Why did you lock the door? Let's go now." Lin Liguo turned back to the desk, picked up the lecture notes, and followed his mother to the meeting room. The meeting room was full, and dozens of people had already sat down around the long table. Ye Qun sat at the end of the long table presiding over the meeting, and Lin Liguo sat down modestly at the corner of the table next to her.Ye Qun smiled and said: "Liguo has learned and applied Chairman Mao's works in the Air Force, and has gained some experience in the past few years. The Air Force asked him to explain it, but he felt uncertain, so I suggested that he talk about it at our home first. I watched Liguo grow up, and Liguo said, please give your uncles advice and check." Twenty or thirty soldiers applauded affectionately, and Ye Qun turned to look at Lin Liguo and said, "Then you Let's get started." Lin Liguo coughed, cleared his throat, and began to read the lecture notes.His mother sat on the sidelines and watched intently, and the dozens of faces in front of him also looked at him like elders. In their eyes, he had just grown up from a primary school student or a middle school student, and he was reprimanded and disciplined by his mother from morning to night. young people.The tall Secretary Chu was sitting at the side, obviously very concerned about the manuscript he wrote, and his eyes were constantly watching the manuscript paper in Lin Liguo's hand. Use the experience".

He broke out in hot sweat while reading, and his mother's constantly sweeping gaze made him feel even more stressed. There were more and more places where he stumbled, and every stumble could feel the anxiety and dissatisfaction in his mother's eyes. I also became more and more sweaty and stuttered while reading.In the end, he simply gave up any prudential tone, and read line by line, page by line, like a running account.He also had an explanation in his mind, anyway, it's not really practical, just read the script and everyone can give their opinions.He buried his head in the lecture notes and read on numbly, not feeling the pressure of his mother's gaze.Everyone in the room listened intently. Some people yawned and covered it with their hands to cover it up. Lin Liguo pretended not to see it.In the middle of the reading, my mother said from the side: "Liguo, read this far first, let everyone take a break." Ye Qun said to everyone: "Take a break for 20 minutes, and then continue."

The people dispersed, and only Ye Qun, Lin Liguo, and Secretary Chu, the main drafter of the speech, were left in the conference room.Lin Liguo lowered his eyes, ready to be reprimanded.Ye Qun said very anxiously: "You don't seem to be teaching practically, stuttering and reading from a manuscript, who can sit still? If you want to talk like this tomorrow, won't you blame yourself?" Lin Liguo sat there silently, Ye Qun Looking at Secretary Chu, he said, "What do you think is the main problem? Does the speech itself have anything to do with it?" Secretary Chu took the speech and looked through it, and said, "The manuscript itself is not colloquial enough." He said to Lin Liguo: " When you are speaking, you can add colloquial things, such as exclamations, titles, questions and surprises, all of which have to be played on the spot. For example, the sentence at the end of this sentence: In a word, I learned and used Chairman Mao’s works vividly, It is insignificant to gain a little experience. I hope that the head and comrades can criticize and help. You can be more colloquial, and say this when you play on the spot: I study Chairman Mao’s works, and I have such a little experience. It is really insignificant. At the beginning, I hope that the leaders and comrades will criticize and help more. I will learn from everyone, pay tribute to everyone, and unite to strive for greater victories." Secretary Chu said while gesturing, "Just let it go That's it, it will be lively like this." Ye Qun pointed to the manuscript and said to Secretary Chu: "You should write all these words in the manuscript." Secretary Chu said: "These words only came out when I said that. , I didn’t have so many colloquial associations when I wrote it.” Ye Qun turned his gaze to Lin Liguo again, and said, “Later, you should relax a bit, just like what Secretary Chu demonstrated just now, let go of reading, a sentence or a paragraph Add some tone to the beginning and end of the sentence."

Ye Qun said to Secretary Chu again: "As you listen for a while, take notes to see where you need to adjust your tone, and finally adjust your speech." Secretary Chu nodded seriously. The twenty-minute break passed, and everyone returned to the conference room.After Ye Qun rambled a few words, Lin Liguo read with a higher voice than before. This time, no matter how his mother looked at him, he insisted on reading the second half of the lecture in one breath.After everyone dispersed, Ye Qun handed the speech manuscript to Secretary Chu, and said, "That's it, you can adjust everything that can be adjusted, and arrange for a typist to print it out overnight. I rehearsed it again, and the effect will be better tomorrow." Secretary Chu took the lecture draft, thought for a while and said, "If the director thinks it is immature, should he revise it a few more times? Postpone the lecture meeting for a few days?" Ye Qun immediately waved his hand decisively, and said, "That's not good. Celebrating the August 1st Army Day, this is an opportunity. It's not good to miss it." Secretary Chu looked at Lin Liguo and said, "What do you think?"

Lin Liguo lowered his eyes and thought for a while, but before he could answer, his mother said: "What can he think about it, you go and revise the lecture manuscript and arrange to print it." Secretary Chu picked up the manuscript paper and stood tall. He got up, dragged his chair away, and a fat soldier hurried in at the door. It was Secretary Wen. He came over and reported to Ye Qun: "The chief asked Lin Liguo to go over." Ye Qun looked at the large electric meter on the wall of the meeting room, It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and he said to Lin Liguo, "Your father is telling you to go now, because he must be concerned about your future." Lin Liguo also felt that his father's move was a bit unusual, so he immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Also hastily followed. When they arrived at Lin Biao's room, the door was ajar, and the two of them gently opened the door and walked in.Lin Biao was sitting quietly on the soft chair. When he saw Lin Liguo coming in, he nodded slightly. Lin Liguo called softly: "Father." Lin Biao pointed to the chair in front of him, motioned him to sit down, and waved his hand gently to Ye Qun.Ye Qun looked at Lin Biao and carefully explained: "Tiger just gave a preview at the branch meeting." Lin Biao nodded slightly to show that he understood, and Ye Qun backed out and closed the door.Lin Biao was silent for a while, raised his eyes and asked, "Tell me again?" Lin Liguo nodded and said, "Yes." Lin Biao asked again slowly, "How is the effect?" Lin Liguo hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Not ideal. " Lin Biao nodded, and asked: "What about the lecture manuscript?" Lin Liguo replied: "Secretary Chu took it to revise and print it, do you want to read it?" Lin Biao shook his head and said, "I know the contents of the lecture manuscript. , They told me briefly." After speaking, Lin Biao closed his eyes, and Lin Liguo sat quietly and waited. After a while, Lin Biao opened his eyes again and said, "It's still very important to you to be practical this time, you know?" Lin Liguo nodded and said, "Yes." For the speech script, just refer to this speech script, and you have to prepare overnight for what you want to say." Lin Liguo looked at his father with some embarrassment.Lin Biao looked at his son calmly and seriously, and said, "We must make additional preparations. According to that manuscript, it will not succeed." As he spoke, he picked up a few blank sheets of paper from the stool beside him, which were filled with heavy pencil words. , handed it to Lin Liguo and said, "Here is an outline I drew for you for your reference. On this basis, you can quote some contents of that lecture manuscript and add some of your own." Lin Li Guo Guo accepted it unexpectedly and moved. He never thought that his father would personally draft a lecture outline for him.Lin Biao still looked at his son calmly, and said, "What you need to prepare is a simple and concise outline, with some of the most vivid examples in it, and you have to improvise." Lin Liguo nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, yes." Lin Biao He also said: "You have to have your own opinion on everything, and don't just listen to that Director Ye's arrangements." Lin Liguo thought of the embarrassing situation when he spoke at the branch meeting of the Lin Office just now, and nodded immediately.Lin Biao closed his eyes and stayed there for a while, then opened his eyes again, and said calmly but firmly: "This time, we must succeed, we can only succeed, we cannot fail, this battle must be fought well." Lin Liguo was determined. Obediently nodded. Lin Biao squinted his eyes and paused for a while, looked at his son and asked, "Do you know what my historical mission is?" Lin Liguo thought for a moment, then replied, "Chairman Mao's successor." Lin Biao closed his eyes and paused noncommittally. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "What about your historical mission?" Lin Liguo didn't know how to answer for a while.Lin Biao looked at him sternly and said, "Remember, you are Lin Biao's successor." Lin Liguo nodded in trepidation.Lin Biao said again: "Do you know how to pick it up?" Lin Liguo thought for a while and replied: "Study hard and make progress every day." Lin Biao slapped the wooden armrest of the soft chair very severely and said: "This is nonsense, you We must scramble to succeed, we must scramble to seize power." Lin Liguo shook his head in fear.Lin Biao looked straight into his son's eyes and said, "This is a metaphor. You have to hurry up and take the first step if you can. If you don't rush, you won't be able to pick up the job. Understand? You are only 25 years old this year. You and Lin Biao After nearly 40 years, do you understand how many people stand in your way?" Lin Liguo nodded and said, "Understood." Lin Biao slowed down his expression again, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "You have to know yourself I have a heavy responsibility." Lin Liguo nodded again.Although my father is thin and very thin, even if he sits here motionless, you can still feel his great power.In September last year, my father personally brought Air Force Commander Wu Faxian to have a conversation, and suggested that Lin Liguo be the deputy director of the Air Force Operations Department. position.At this moment, he understood a very simple truth: the reason why power flows to him like water from a pump is because of the existence of his father. Today, his father's speech made him clear that he must accept all the political wealth his father gave him as soon as possible. Lin Biao looked at his son again and asked, "Do you know why I went to inspect the National Defense Science and Industry Committee a few days ago?" Lin Liguo looked at his majestic father. A factory of the Working Committee, at that time, was also one of the planners of this event, and tens of thousands of people lined the road to welcome. Chief of General Staff Huang Yongsheng, Air Force Commander Wu Faxian, Navy Commander Li Zuopeng, and General Logistics Department Chief Qiu Huizuo all followed his father played together.Without waiting for his son's answer, Lin Biao continued, "It's mainly for you." Lin Liguo nodded his head a few more times in trepidation. At this moment, he understood his father's intentions.That day, he and Huang Yongsheng, chief of the general staff, followed his father on one left and one on the right. Even Wu Faxian, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo and his mother Ye Qun were all behind them.Walking behind his father in the welcome of thousands of people, he truly experienced the sense of smoothness and happiness of following his father.The father, who was always afraid of the wind and light, broke into a hot sweat that day and walked more than a kilometer. In the group photos of several people, the father signaled that he stood beside him and did not have to avoid it. Lin Biao closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes and asked gently: "Do you know what a regiment leader wants to catch?" Lin Liguo thought for a while, and replied: "Politics." Lin Biao shook his head and taught: "Politics is everyone's job. The commander of the regiment should catch the company and the company commander." After a pause, he asked again: "Do you know what the army commander should catch?" After thinking about it, he replied: "Catch the regiment, catch the regiment leader." Lin Biao nodded and asked, "Do you know what you want to catch now?" Lin Liguo remained silent and did not dare to answer, waiting for his father to continue.Lin Biao said: "Slowly, your status will rise more and more. You must pay attention to getting in touch with army commanders and military-level cadres. Only in this way can you master the army in the future, understand?" Lin Liguo felt that his father's speech was extremely far-sighted and undoubtedly put him in the position of taking over the military power, so he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.Lin Biao looked in front of him and continued: "Wu Faxian said that you can command and mobilize everything in the Air Force, and that is the power he lent you. To truly command and mobilize everything, you must seize most of the air force. The Air Force, Navy, Army, and the entire army are the same, and in the future, they will have to communicate more with all the army commanders and military-level cadres in the sea, land, and air.” Lin Liguo nodded his head submissively, and said, “Yes, I understand.” Lin Biao again He squinted his eyes and waited for a while, then said: "In everything you have to dare to think and do, you have power if you have an opinion, and you lose power if you don't have an opinion, and an opinion is power, understand?" Lin Liguo replied: "Understood." Lin Biao looked at him sternly. He said: "You don't necessarily understand everything. Where is the power of a chief executive? It is reflected in the final decision-making power. No matter what correct plans, opinions and suggestions are put forward by others, the final decision must be made by yourself. Even if Just nod your head, don’t let others do it for you, the final decision-making power can never be delegated, understand?” Lin Liguo said: “Understood, that is, never let others infringe on your decision-making power.” Lin Biao nodded and said "That's right." After pausing for a while, he said again: "Our Director Ye likes to manage things and has many ideas. If her arrangements are right, you will listen to them. If they are wrong, you must have your own opinions. Definitely." Lin Liguo nodded solemnly, Lin Biao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, raised his eyes and said, "Let's just talk about this, you go to prepare your speech overnight." After speaking, Lin Biao raised his hand and waved it lightly. Swing, Lin Liguo stood up respectfully. The next morning, Lin Liguo excitedly came to the auditorium of the Air Force Headquarters with the new lecture outline prepared overnight. Once here, he found that his feeling was completely different from last night at the branch meeting of Lin Biao's office. Here, all the people surrounded him and admired him.As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the auditorium, Chen Suiqi, the wife of Air Force Commander Wu Faxian, greeted him with a long round face full of smiles, and said, "Commander Wu asked me to come here early this morning to listen to your lecture report. I don’t want to be late for a minute.” Wang Fei, the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force who presided over the meeting, was tall and thin with a shrewd expression. He came up to greet Lin Liguo and said affectionately: “The auditorium is full, and there are still many people who are beyond the notice range. Everyone is vying to listen to you, and everyone adores you." Zhou Yuchi, the burly deputy director of the headquarters office, also had a black and red rectangular face full of smiles, and he said happily: "Today you will definitely put a The greatest political satellite." There were more people swarming up, and Lin Liguo felt great.A few female phone soldiers came forward in reverence, and said to him: "Vice Minister Lin, we also want to hear from you, but they won't let us in." Lin Liguo smiled as he saw their handsome faces. , pointing to Wang Fei, the deputy chief of staff, and said: "You beg Deputy Chief of Staff Wang." Wang Fei waved his hand with a smile, and said, "You go in." Several female phone soldiers said with a smile: "Thank you, Vice Minister Lin, Thank you, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang." He ran up the steps of the auditorium hand in hand. When Lin Liguo was surrounded by people and boarded the rostrum, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, and people raised their arms again and again and shouted the slogan "Learn from Comrade Lin Liguo, pay tribute to Comrade Lin Liguo".At this time, Lin Liguo felt that he was full of majesty, and he could swallow mountains and rivers. As soon as he put the outline on the podium, he felt that he had entered a state where he could command and mobilize everything.He was just a dejected middle school student at the branch meeting of the Forestry Office hosted by Ye Qun yesterday, but here today, he is already an upright hero.He continued to speak eloquently. He had never discovered that he had such a superb oratory talent today. His speech was interrupted by bursts of stormy applause.Wu Faxian's wife Chen Suiqi stood up on the rostrum again and again, leading the audience to shout: "Learn from Comrade Lin Liguo! Salute to Comrade Lin Liguo!" He actually has the same decisive and absolute tone as his father, using a lot of "most" words: "most correct", "most important", "most glorious", "greatest", "most precious", "most profound", and so on.The audience was frantic, and he was also frantic. In this frenzy, his report lasted a whole day from morning to night.After the lecture, there was prolonged applause.Wu Faxian's wife, Chen Suiqi, once again led the audience to shout dozens of times: "Learn from Comrade Lin Liguo! Salute to Comrade Lin Liguo!" Then, Wang Fei, the deputy chief of staff who presided over the meeting, warmly commented on Lin Liguo's speech today in his concluding remarks. The use was to "really release a political satellite" and once again announced to the audience that "Commander Wu has always admired Comrade Liguo's genius and all-round talents. Commander Wu said that everything in the Air Force can be mobilized by Comrade Liguo. Everything in the Air Force can be commanded by Comrade Liguo." The even more fanatical slogan "Learn from and pay tribute to Comrade Lin Liguo" sounded in the venue. A few days later, Air Force Commander Wu Faxian announced at the "Three Generations" meeting of the Air Force: "Lin Liguo is a genius and an all-rounder." He also clearly stated: "We must learn from Lin Liguo and work under Lin Liguo's leadership." Later, the saying that Lin Liguo was a "genius", "all-rounder", "super genius", "overall talent", and "the third generation successor" spread rapidly throughout the army, and his lecture reports were also recorded, Handwritten, mimeographed and printed and other methods spread throughout the country.
