Power makes people mature quickly. Lin Liguo's feeling in Maojiawan's house is completely different from the past. He no longer needs to be submissive. Standing in the room now, he feels very tall and straight.When he put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood in front of the writing desk looking at the globe, his eyes revealed confidence and strength.He paced back and forth in the room, his grass-green military trousers making noises as he swung his calves, showing a thoughtful rhythm.He stretched out his hand and pulled the globe, watching it rotate smoothly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.He rubbed the globe with his hand, and the globe stopped at the position he needed, and the territory of China was under his gaze.Now he has more or less felt the influence of his own power in China. He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and pondered the overall political situation in China with hazy eyes.

The current political situation in China has reached a critical point. Last year, from August 23 to September 6, 1970, the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Lushan. The most important content of China's political life at present.He rubbed his lips and chin vigorously, making his expression and gaze more powerful, and he felt that his face was as severe as granite.In his hazy thoughts, he once again thought of a question that he had repeatedly thought about: In any case, he never thought that the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee would have such a result.At that time, I went to Mount Lushan as Secretary of the Military Commission. My mother Ye Qun, Chief of General Staff Huang Yongsheng, Air Force Commander Wu Faxian, Navy Commander Li Zuopeng, and General Logistics Minister Qiu Huizuo also went to Lushan Mountain happily, and my father went to Lushan Mountain in high spirits. .The Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee will prepare for the Fourth National People's Congress. My father proposed that the future state system should have a chairman of the country, and proposed that Chairman Mao be the chairman of the country. popular expectations.It stands to reason that this is such an aboveboard program, and my father also instructed Chen Boda to make a copy of "Excerpts from Quotations About Geniuses by Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao Zedong" in order to prove that Mao Zedong was an "ancient genius".This is another political banner raised by my father at this meeting. This political banner should satisfy Mao Zedong, and it can also be used to suppress the political influence of the literati like Zhang Chunqiao and Jiang Qing, thus further expanding in a seemingly grandiose process. The power of the group headed by the father.

At the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee, the first resistance encountered was Zhang Chunqiao, Jiang Qing, and Yao Wenyuan. They even proposed to delete the phrase "Mao Zedong inherited and developed Marxism-Leninism in a genius, comprehensive, and creative way." The three adverbs in the words, and these three adverbs were invented by my father in the preface to the reprint of "Quotations from Chairman Mao".Therefore, Chen Boda, Wu Faxian and others opened fire on Zhang Chunqiao, Jiang Qing and others. The argument of the fire was also very powerful: "Someone took advantage of Chairman Mao's great humility to belittle Chairman Mao." At the Lushan Conference, Ye Qun mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized It was mobilized, and my father also gave important support behind it. This seemed to be an excellent opportunity to get rid of the forces of Zhang Chunqiao and Jiang Qing. At one time, most people were on this side; however, Mao Zedong made an unexpected move. The unexpected reaction was to throw Chen Boda out like a stone. Once Chen Boda fell, Mao Zedong criticized Ye Qun, Huang Yongsheng, Wu Faxian and others one by one. The camp here was about to collapse. , only to find that the loss was heavy.The result of the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee surprised everyone. This unexpected process only revealed that after the counter-Cultural Revolutionary forces headed by Liu Shaoqi were overthrown, the group headed by Lin Biao was competing for leadership with the Central Cultural Revolutionary forces headed by Zhang Chunqiao and Jiang Qing. .When external enemies are defeated, allies within the united front will become enemies. He now has a deep understanding of this political law.

A few days later, on April 15, the central government will hold another "criticism and rectification" meeting.His mother, Ye Qun, was on the phone non-stop. Thinking of her bouncing up and down in the Lushan meeting, and Wu Faxian's stupid fat face in panic, he couldn't help being very resentful. It's a mess.He put down Erlang's legs angrily, and the raised front legs of the chair fell to the ground with a clang.He stood up, went to the door and locked the door, then opened the locked drawer, pulled out a set of eavesdropping equipment, put on the earphone, and pressed the switch, the sound of Ye Qun talking appeared in the earphone.Thinking of being able to install a bug on Ye Qun's phone, he was fully aware of his political consciousness of disowning his relatives; this political consciousness was combined with his modern military consciousness. Now he likes to drive a car, drive an amphibious tank, Fly a helicopter, like all kinds of guns, and also like advanced electronic equipment such as bugs.The army is a special person who uses these military means to arm himself. As long as he has an army of as many as several million, as few as hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of troops, he may use special methods to fight against the enemy. The political power of the whole of China is in their own hands.He spread his five fingers into a claw shape, as long as he armed himself into an extremely sharp beast, he could kill the enemy.Zhang Chunqiao, a proud scholar with glasses and a pointed chin, appeared in front of his eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his thin neck, and he could twist him like a corn stalk.

Hearing his mother, Ye Qun, talking about the current political situation with the chief of the general staff, Huang Yongsheng, it was just to encourage and cheer up. This director Ye is talking about a mother-in-law, repeating those clichés over and over again, how powerful is it?He grew more and more contemptuous of his mother.He was about to turn off the listening device, but such a conversation came from inside.Ye Qun said: "My life and yours are connected, whether it is political life or personal life." Huang Yongsheng said: "I understand, I fully understand this way, please rest assured that everything is going well with me." Ye Qun Said: "You will play a great role in the field of Chinese revolution and world revolution." Huang Yongsheng said: "In this regard, I want to learn from you." Ye Qun said: "You will always be the marshal, and I will always be the marshal." An orderly, the children of our two families are five or six generals, and in the future they will be able to handle a gate by themselves, and they will all be your assistants, don’t you think so?” Huang Yongsheng said: “Yes, yes.” Ye Qun said : "The only thing he really likes is you."

Lin Liguo was so angry that her face was distorted, son of a bitch, she should really break her neck!Going to Huang Yongsheng's tent to be a messenger, shameless!Counting Lin Liguo as Huang Yongsheng's subordinate is even more of a fucking bastard.You sold yourself, and you want to sell others.Hearing that Ye Qun hung up the phone, Lin Liguo turned off the wiretapping recording equipment, put them back in the drawer, locked the drawer, and paced around the room like a caged tiger.At this moment, he had the greatest hatred for his mother, and also thought of many allusions in history about the passing of power by emperors.This son of a bitch regards Huang Yongsheng as Lin Biao's future successor, and wants to continue to play the role of "Huang Yongsheng's office director". What a shameless dream.His father's thin and thin body appeared in front of his eyes, and he also thought of what his father once said to him: I am Lin Biao's successor.He walked with his hands in his pockets and became more and more anxious. He needed to defend his inheritance in the dangerous environment inside and outside.Ye Qun said to Huang Yongsheng, "The only one he really likes is you." This "he" naturally refers to his father Lin Biao. It is extremely ugly to be a "herald" for others!If Huang Yongsheng was in power once, how could you be used?Definitely kick you off first.The political arena is really not for girls. They have long hair but short knowledge, they don't succeed enough, and they fail.

As he walked, anger and impatience turned vicious and sinister.Right now, Ye Qun, Huang Yongsheng and people as stupid as pigs like Wu Faxian are the strength he wants to borrow. One day when he really takes power, he will slowly deal with them.After thinking for a while, he opened the drawer again, put on the headphones, and pressed the switch, and Ye Qun's voice on the phone came again in his ears.When I heard it, I was talking to Air Force Commander Wu Faxian.Wu Faxian's voice showed a mournful face, and Ye Qun said, "You must never commit suicide. Suicide is severing yourself from the people. Is this something you can't handle? Isn't it just a meeting for a few days? You must hold on to it." Loosen your mouth. No one can fall, and if you pour one, you will pour a large piece. Vice Chairman Lin will definitely not ignore you, even if you are locked up, you will be released in the end. Don't worry, the problem is not so serious." Wu Faxian said "Director Ye, don't worry, and Vice Chairman Lin, please don't worry, I will never be ungrateful and bring others into trouble." Lin Liguo ruthlessly turned off the bugging device when he heard this, locked the drawer again, opened the door and left. out.He came to the door of Ye Qun's room, knocked on the door casually, and heard Ye Qun talking on the phone inside, "Come in." He pushed the door and walked in. When Ye Qun saw him, he waved his hand, meaning wait a moment After a while, I heard her finally say: "Commander Wu, I feel relieved when you say this, and I will report to the chief in a while."

Ye Qun put down the phone and stood up, looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to your father's place." As usual, Lin Biao sat quietly on the soft chair. Lin Liguo gently opened the door. Lin Biao raised his eyes and saw him. With a slight smile on his face, he nodded to signal him to come in.Ye Qun hurriedly followed in.Seeing Ye Qun, Lin Biao lowered his eyes, indicating that he was ready to listen to the report.Ye Qun said: "I just talked with several generals on the phone. Huang Yongsheng was the calmest, and Wu Faxian was the most nervous. However, I calmed them down one by one." Lin Biao nodded slightly.Ye Qun talked a lot again, nothing more than how to deal with the upcoming "criticism and rectification" meeting, she said, "I think I can get through it." Lin Biao looked at Ye Qun, did not speak, and lowered his eyes to think again, He said to Lin Liguo, "What do you think?" Lin Liguo said, "It's better to burn the boat than to get caught. Anyway, we can't just sit and wait for death." Lin Biao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Go on." Lin Liguo said, "We want to use the revolutionary You have to prepare for the counter-revolutionaries with the two hands of civil and military, and now we must make preparations for military." Lin Biao nodded and said, "You are really very motivated." Ye Qun turned to look at his son, rather unwilling backward meaning.Lin Biao went on to speak in a slow voice: "Political struggles ultimately rely on guns to solve problems. The Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not understand this truth. How many times did you know how to go to war, and wept to Gong'e. 'Be sure to make all kinds of preparations."

Just as Ye Qun was about to interrupt, Lin Biao looked at Lin Liguo again and said, "You continue to finish your speech." Lin Liguo said firmly: "Now our entire strength is a large fleet, and we will move forward according to your instructions. I am in the Air Force Another small fleet has been set up, and we are hurrying to prepare." Lin Biao nodded in praise and said, "Okay, okay, it should be done like this." Ye Qun was eager to confess her work, and she said: "Wu Faxian was very soft at the beginning, so I did it for him. After work, he expressed that he would never let down Vice Chairman Lin's expectations. I also told Huang Yongsheng that you appreciate him the most, and his statement was very firm from the beginning to the end." Lin Liguo interrupted his mother's words, and he said: "For these You must not believe what people say 100%, think about the worst in everything, and prepare for the worst, so that you can win the best results." Ye Qun glanced at Lin Liguo displeasedly, and when he was about to say something, Lin Biao nodded Said: "You are right, this is dialectics." Ye Qun swallowed the words that came to his mouth.Lin Liguo said: "I'm going to call a meeting for the small fleet this afternoon." Lin Biao nodded, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Everything must be done quickly, and you have to do it when you are ready." Lin Liguo turned and opened the door to leave up.

He drove out of Maojiawan in Lin Biao's exclusive high-end red flag car, and drove all the way to the suburbs at high speed. The car drove very fast and passed one red light after another without blinking.When he turned left and right out of the urban area and drove on the asphalt road in the suburbs, several soldiers who had waited for a long time in Maojiawan to get on the car with him all praised: "Vice Minister, you are driving now. First class." He said nothing, just drove the car faster.The people in the car praised again: "We are riding in the most revolutionary car, following the most revolutionary people, we are invincible." Lin Liguo smiled energetically.The car under his hand is part of his armed forces.A person cannot run very fast, however, when you can drive a car, you can run very fast.One person doesn't do much damage, however, when you have a machine gun, a tank, a bomber or a warship in your hands, you can do a lot of damage.One person does not have much direct control over the world. However, if you control a group of people, command an army, and this army has various weapons, you can surround one city after another, Let group after group of people be captured without a fight, and you can control the whole of China.Two thousand years of Chinese history has illustrated a truth: political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.Now, driving my father's red flag car feels the same as driving a tank or a bomber. It is a feeling of mastering the weapon.

The car quickly drove to a military compound. When the soldiers on guard saw the red flag car, they immediately raised their hands in salute and stretched out their hands to let it go.The car drove in majesticly without stopping, passing through one building after another, row after row of bungalows, an open lawn, and at the last turn, stopped in front of a quiet small building.A helicopter was parked on the lawn in front of the small building, and seven or eight soldiers came out of the building.Lin Liguo closed the car door arrogantly, and entered the small building surrounded by everyone.His footsteps are strong and impressive, and as soon as he left Maojiawan and arrived at these places, he entered the role of "holding the emperor to command the princes".When a group of people followed him stepping up the stairs, he felt the feeling of leading thousands of troops forward.A dozen people sat down around a long conference table, and the irrelevant people pulled the door and retreated, leaving a quiet meeting place.Lin Liguo sat down in the seat chairing the meeting without hesitation. Most of the middle-aged soldiers in front of him were cadres above the military level. Now they respected him like his subordinates for many years, and he felt that he really had the command power.He sat on the top of the long table, with his legs spread out, and his hands on the table, like a great castle facing the subject's land. His majesty and determination made his young face mature enough to overlook everything. The meeting started. He said: "Today, the United Fleet will hold the Beijing meeting first, and I will fly to Shanghai in the evening, and then hold the Shanghai meeting. The situation is not waiting for anyone, and the situation is pressing. We need to discuss the strategic policy and make a campaign deployment. The chief instructed We must be well prepared for both literature and military, especially military preparations. The chief said that we cannot learn from the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress Li's "several times I know how to fight, and shed tears on Gong'e". We must understand that "what comes out of the barrel of a gun Let’s start the discussion according to this theme, start with the situation first, speak concisely, get straight to the point, and go directly to the topic.” He leaned back slightly on the back of the chair and asked, “Who will start first? "The first person to speak was Zhou Yuchi, the deputy director of the Air Division Office, with a calm expression on his black and red rectangular face. He said: "Now, Mao Zhong uses people like Zhang Chunqiao. It is people like Zhang Chunqiao who are suppressing us, and the other party's goal is to try to change the successor, we really need to be prepared and aware of the sharpness of the struggle." Zhou Yuchi looked at Lin Liguo's face, and continued: "Everyone knows Since the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Central Committee, the bosses who followed the chief have all been suppressed and punished." Lin Liguo interrupted humbly: "Qiu Badou is not a scholar, he is stupid, and all of them were messed up by that Director Ye Mao is supporting one faction against another faction. What is Zhang Chunqiao? First, he can't farm, second, he can't work, and third, he can't fight. When the opportunity comes, first arrest and kill them." Zhou Yuchi naturally didn't dare to say this to Lin Liguo After commenting, he continued with his own words: "So, the center of our struggle is also tit for tat, and we must protect Vice Chairman Lin's successor status." Another thin-faced soldier said: "So, we have organized the following troops to conduct He put forward two defenses: one is to defend the successor status of Vice Chairman Lin, and the other is to defend the vice minister.” Lin Liguo lowered his eyes, and listened to the statements of these cadres above the military level with dignity.These speeches have long been expected by him. He needs them to express their views, they need them to encourage each other, they need to reunite to create an atmosphere, and they also need their loyalty. This is necessary to unite the team and organize strength. In the process of discussing, I think about the things that really outline the outline.I heard someone say again: "Now, everything we do must not interfere with the overall situation. The overall situation is the deputy minister." I also heard someone say: "With the deputy minister at the helm in this struggle, we will surely win." I also heard someone say: "The deputy minister represents Vice Chairman Lin and the revolutionary force. As long as our current strength is well organized , can completely control the situation in the country." Lin Liguo nodded slightly from time to time, expressing his approval for each speaker. The discussion progressed to a heated level, and there were disputes among each other, and the atmosphere was very intense, full of thick smoke and dense fog of "the mountain and the rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building".Lin Liguo felt that it was time for him to speak, so he pulled out his chair and stood up, took a few steps, returned to the table and coughed, and stood still with his hands on the table.Everyone knew that he was going to make a concluding speech, and the angry crowd immediately subsided.He looked down at the crowd and said resolutely: "Comrades had a very good discussion just now. In front of us is indeed a struggle for the successor. We want to defend the position of the successor of the chief. The other party wants to overthrow the position of the successor of the chief." Now, there are three possibilities for the succession of the chief executive: the first possibility is peaceful transition and peaceful succession, which is naturally the smoothest situation; Of course it is the worst possibility; the third is that we seize power, this is a last resort, and we must focus on preparations now. Our current strategic policy is to strive for the first possibility and resolutely prevent the second possibility. One possibility, prepare for the third possibility." He paused for a moment, scanning the entire venue.Someone interjected: "It takes at least five or six years for a peaceful succession. Mao's health seems to last for a few more years, and it will take at least three or four years for someone to rob him of his position. The position of the chief cannot be destroyed by them all at once." Lin Liguo immediately resolutely denied these words. He said: "Not necessarily, Mao prestige is high, and whoever is told to fall will fall. We can't have such illusions. We don't have such a leisurely time. We must do a good job according to the instructions of the chief. There are two kinds of preparations for armed forces. In particular, we must be prepared for armed forces, that is, we must be prepared for armed seizure of power." He paused and said: "Today we will make a preliminary plan for this strategic project. Code name." Someone said: "Isn't the chief's code name called 101? Let's call it Project 101." Lin Liguo knew that Lin Biao's code name in Yan'an was "101". In the years after liberation, Ye Qun often called his father "101" in conversations and phone calls. He immediately shook his head resolutely and said, "Not good It’s too revealing.” Someone suggested: “Let’s call it Project 001.” Lin Liguo shook his head again and said in denial, “It’s too unremarkable.” Someone said: “Call it Project Black Panther.” Lin Liguo smiled sarcastically and said : "This name is too stingy." Just as everyone rolled their eyes and thought, he waved his hand and said: "What we are going to engage in is an armed uprising project, let's call it '571 Project' with a homonym, so that the secrecy Well, it implies our theme again." Everyone applauded unanimously.Lin Liguo pointed to a few people who had been making simple records and said: "This project mainly has the following aspects, please remember: first, the possibility of implementing the '571 Project'; second, the necessity; third, the basic conditions; Fourth, timing; fifth, power analysis; sixth, slogans and programs; seventh, implementation points; eighth, policies and strategies. I think these eight aspects are needed, do you have anything to add?" One is confidentiality and discipline." Lin Liguo nodded immediately, and said, "Yes, add another one, nine, confidentiality and discipline." The meeting discussed and studied for two hours according to the nine outlines, and it was already dark. Lin Liguo finally opened his hands and supported the table, facing the entire meeting place and preached: "Today is the first discussion, and we need to use a faster progress. Quickly improve this project, from the grand strategy to the implementation of every detail, including the confidential details. You must especially study those details thoroughly. The success or failure of many major events in the world lies in one detail, especially the '571 project 'In this kind of action, any mistake in any detail may lead to failure, okay, the meeting is over." A sumptuous dinner has already been prepared, and there are two tables with food and wine. Lin Liguo stood up after eating in a hurry, and the people followed him to the upstairs. In front of him, the high-end Hongqi car was parked in the dark, and the helicopter was also parked.Lin Liguo waved his hand and said to a follower, "You drive the car back to Maojiawan." He looked around at the people surrounding him, and said, "I'll drive the helicopter to the airport." Someone said hesitantly, "It's so late, I can't see well." Others said, "The deputy minister's technology is fine." So Lin Li Guo Guo boarded the helicopter with six or seven people who were planning to go to Shanghai together, and the pilot of the helicopter also boarded the plane to escort them.Before boarding the plane, Lin Liguo ordered again: "Tell the airport, I'll be there right away." In the dark, he started the helicopter, the motor roared, and the propeller on the helicopter made a huge roar. When he turned on the searchlight of the helicopter, he could see the surrounding trees tilting in the strong wind blown by the propeller.Turn off the searchlight, gradually refuel, and the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground.Under the careful reminder of the pilot, Lin Liguo flew the helicopter over Beijing, and he could see the dense lights of the city. The pilot helped him identify the terrain and direction.After a firm and somewhat hesitant flight, the helicopter landed at the military airport in the western suburbs.There was a strong vibration when it landed, and almost everyone in the cabin jumped up. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We believe that the deputy minister will take off and land safely." Lin Liguo was also relieved at this time, wiped Sweating off his brow, he took off his hat, untied the belt from the driver's seat and stood up. Several military jeeps drove up with their lights on.As soon as Lin Liguo stepped off the helicopter, several soldiers below stretched out their strong arms to support him. The jeep pulled them under a Trident aircraft, and Lin Liguo and his entourage boarded the gangway.The plane took off. This time, he didn't have to drive himself, but put down the back of the seat comfortably and half-lyed and half-sat. When the plane was flying unstoppably in the air, the image of Ye Qun appeared in front of his eyes again. Sooner or later, he would break the necks of both Ye Qun and Huang Yongsheng.In this world, the only person he is close to now is his father, and he is looking forward to his succession.Thinking of his young and strong body, he couldn't help feeling a love mixed with respect and pity for his frail father who sat in meditation all day.Thinking that one day he would be able to play the role of protecting his father, he felt the nobility and heroism of being a son. In less than two hours, the plane landed at Shanghai Naval Airport.Walking down the gangway, there were already seven or eight middle-aged soldiers waiting there. They were from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places. They were all cadres at or above the military level. Lin Liguo walked towards them with the kindness and dignity of the chief go.When he reached out to shake hands with them one by one, the first sentence he said was: "We just finished the Beijing meeting, and hope that the Shanghai meeting will be better than the Beijing meeting."
