"Let's talk about how to deal with the current complicated international situation."

The always strong Prime Minister Peter said: "The United States supports China's sovereignty claim this time, which is very detrimental to our country. This means that the United States has indirectly betrayed Russia's interests."

The ministers all knew the meaning of Peter's words. In history, Russia successively occupied 500 million square kilometers of China's land through war. When they become really strong, will they raise this issue with Russia again?The answer will be yes.

Ivanov asked: "Is there any good way for Prime Minister Peter? The rise of China is now unstoppable, and even the Americans have not stopped their rise, let alone our Russia."

The ministers couldn't help but nodded. Although their president was a little weak, he had a keen eye on major international issues.

"The legacy we have inherited is almost exhausted. In the past few years, our physical enterprises have gone from bad to worse, and arms exports have declined year after year. Now we mainly rely on energy exports to support our fragile economy. Under the current situation, we Unilaterally, there is no ability to stop the rise of China. To do this, we must unite with the United States. After all, China is not strong enough now. We must try our best to delay their pace of becoming the world's first-tier power. Russia buys time. At the same time, we will strengthen the industrial restructuring of domestic enterprises. Although we cannot imagine being on an equal footing with China in terms of economic strength, at least we must ensure the integrity of our country’s current territory.”

Although Russian politicians are not like the American government, everyone has some big financial groups behind them, but politics is so mysterious, and they also have their own forces behind them. It can also be said that Russia's current political system is both Unlike China and the United States, it is a mixture.Whether their system is good or bad depends on the facts.However, can the fate of a country be used as an experiment?

The meeting made two decisions. One is that under the current situation, Russia should adopt a wait-and-see attitude and not take the initiative to make a move. It should first find out the cards of China and the United States, and then formulate the next step of the national strategy based on Russia's actual situation.Second, the prime minister and the president are going to visit several countries in West Asia and North Asia respectively. It is best to reach a strategic partnership with them to jointly deal with the rise of China.

Text 640 Chapter [-] Nostalgic people

As the date of the Plenary Session of the Central Committee approached, the Yile Hall where Mu Guoxing lived gradually became lively. The people who came were all the feudal officials from various provinces, especially the places where Mu Guoxing had worked the most.

This kind of situation is also very normal. The old subordinates took the opportunity to visit the old leader when they came to Beijing for a meeting. If they want to say something, they have to think about it.

Dou Yangyi, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Guangnan Province, and Wu Xuelong, Governor of Guangnan Province, called the Mu Office as soon as they got off the plane yesterday, asking to visit the old leader.Regarding these two people, Zheng Wei, the director of the Mu Office, naturally did not dare to be negligent. He is also very clear about the relationship between these two people and Chang. With Mu Guoxing's support, maybe Wu Xuelong is still in the position of deputy governor.

"Through the report you wrote to the central government, it can be seen that you have done a good job this year, especially in the work of people's livelihood. According to the investigation and selection of the Academy of Social Sciences and relevant departments, the people of Guangnan Province The happiness index of the company ranks first in the country, and the Guangnan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government should be commended for being able to do this."

It can be seen that Mu Guoxing is in a good mood at this time. It is no wonder that the top three in the selection of the National Happiness Index this time are all places where Mu Guoxing once worked. Although Shunhai and Jiangnan ranked second and Third, but it is not much different from Guangnan. If it weren't for the central government's request, the group of the Academy of Social Sciences would really not be able to assign this ranking.

Everyone knows that this term of central leadership has been paying close attention to people's livelihood, and has taken this as an important condition for evaluating cadres.That is to say, as long as we do a good job in people's livelihood, if we make some achievements in economic development, we will be able to open up the channel for improvement.Because of this, in this short period of one year, China's people's livelihood work has been done very well, and it can also be said that some social conflicts left over from the original have been initially resolved.

Nothing can be done overnight. Governing a large country is like cooking small dishes. Some things cannot be rushed. Now that we have made a good start, we are not afraid of not having a good result.According to the development strategy of the central government, the first five years will strive to develop the economy, deal with various social conflicts, and the development strategy of making a difference in the world in the next five years. If we follow the current path, it may not be long before this goal will be achieved. up.

With the secretary of the provincial party committee present, it is natural that Wu Xuelong, the governor, did not have the part to speak. As soon as Mu Guoxing finished speaking, Dou Yangyi said with a smile: "The reason why we can achieve today's achievements is mainly because of the good foundation you laid in Guangnan. , Comrade Xue Long still has some credit, I am a peach picker."

"A good foundation is only one aspect. The most important thing is to maintain the continuity of policies. If a person goes to Guangnan and starts a new one, Guangnan may not be able to achieve what it is today. One of the main reasons why the central government sent you to Guangnan."

Wu Xuelong said with a smile: "Master, the people of Guangnan are still thinking about you all the time. Many deputies to the National People's Congress have asked you to take time to go back and have a look. Especially when you visited Hongzhou last time, comrades I was so happy, I thought you could drop by to Guangnan."

"Hehe, since I started working in the central government, I haven't been anywhere this year. I can't get away from invitations from several countries. Even the last time I went to a red state, I accompanied Daniel, the chairman of the Federal Reserve."

Speaking of this, Mu Guoxing's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly asked: "Ying Yiwei, my secretary when I was working in Anjiang, has been working in Guangnan for a period of time. How is his situation now?"

Dou Yangyi and Wu Xuelong looked at each other, they realized that Mu Guoxing might want to use Ying Yiwei again, otherwise it would be impossible to ask him at this time.

"Ying Yiwei is a very good comrade, strong in political theory, willing to unite comrades, and good at economics. He is still working in Guangnan."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Oh? Didn't you say that the exchange of cadres with Shunhai is limited to three years?"

"When Comrade Ying Yiwei first came to Guangnan, he was the secretary of the county party committee in a county below. Because this comrade is good at connecting with the masses and works very solidly, the county has undergone great changes in two years. The original countdown became one of the top ten counties in the province. Later, the provincial party committee deliberately trained him and asked him to go to Linshan City to serve as the deputy mayor. The mayor of Linshan City. Considering that Comrade Bu Xijiang, the party secretary of Linshan City, is about to reach the age limit, the provincial party committee is planning to appoint him as the secretary of the municipal party committee."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "This means that Comrade Ying Yiwei has performed well in all aspects. From the prosperous Anjiang City to the impoverished and backward county, it is indeed rare for him to bend down and make some achievements. For Let’s put aside his work arrangement, the Organization Department of the Central Committee may conduct further investigations on him in the next step.”

After hearing this, Dou Yangyi and Wu Xuelong thought at the same time that everyone said that Mu Guoxing was a nostalgic person, and it seemed that it was true. After so many years, he still missed his former secretary and worked with such a leader. , as long as you do a good job, he will think of all the problems for you.Although Dou Yangyi and Wu Xuelong still don't know what kind of job Mu Guoxing wants Ying Yiwei to do in the future, but one thing is for sure, Ying Yiwei will step from a department-level cadre to a deputy-ministerial-level senior cadre.

Wu Xuelong didn't understand until now why so many cadres who went to Guangnan to train in Guangnan, others went back, but Ying Yiwei was the only one who persisted in Guangnan. He must have seen this too.It is more difficult to achieve political achievements in a prosperous place like Anjiang, but it is much easier to achieve political achievements in Guangnan.With the foundation laid by Mu Guoxing in Guangnan, Guangnan's economy is in the stage of rapid development. As long as it can seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to figure out its political achievements.

Not only Wu Xuelong, but also Dou Yangyi secretly admired Ying Yiwei because he was smart, able to judge the situation, and set out a correct career path for himself. Could the future be worse?

The staff came in: "Master, the dinner is ready!"

Mu Guoxing stood up: "Let's have dinner at my place tonight, and let's use this time to have a good chat."

At the banquet, the three of them had a good chat, and they were all from their own family. Naturally, there were not so many taboos when talking. Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "Comrade Xuelong's alternate hat, at this meeting of the National Committee If it is removed, the assessment standards for cadres have changed, and appropriate adjustments must be made in some places.”

Dou Yangyi and Wu Xuelong are very clear about what Mu Guoxing said. Guangnan Province ranked first in the selection of the happiness index of the masses. The central government naturally has to express it.Under normal circumstances, in a province, only the secretary of the provincial party committee is a member of the Central Committee, and the governor can only be an alternate member. If the governor also becomes a member of the Central Committee at the same time, it means that the work of this province has entered the stage of reaching the provincial level. This is also the central government's affirmation of the work of this province.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is not much difference between alternate members of the Central Committee and members of the Central Committee, but if you know the invisible steps in the officialdom, you will not think so.The big difference between Chinese officials and Western officials is that Chinese officials talk about the calendar, discuss qualifications, and require front-line training in multiple positions. Such qualifications often become the source of authority and the basis for promotion of officials.

For example, the sub-department-level hidden steps in townships, according to the size of the power and resources contained in the position, and the ranking order, from small to large are: Director of Comprehensive Management Office, Chairman of the Labor Union, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress, Assistant to the Township Mayor, Minister of Armed Forces, Party committee members, deputy township mayors, township party committee deputy secretaries, etc., these are 8 hidden steps, and these positions are all at the sub-section level.

The invisible steps at the deputy department level in the county include: members of the party group of the county government fǔ, assistant to the county magistrate, deputy county magistrate, head of the United Front Work, minister of propaganda, secretary of the political and legal committee, minister of organization, secretary of the discipline inspection committee, executive deputy county magistrate, deputy secretary of the county party committee wait.

Text 640 Chapter Six The Bridge of Happiness

It is by no means easy to become an official in China, especially a high-ranking official. For example, if a 22-year-old college student graduates, if his official career goes smoothly and there are no twists and turns, he will have to be 3 years old at the earliest. become a sub-division.Then you have to go through the qualifications step by step. You will become a full-time officer at the age of 33, a deputy at the age of 4, and a full-time officer at the age of 47. After working in the full-time position for a few more years, you will be ready to retire.

Only a very few who perform very well can become deputy department-level cadres. This is the political life course of most county and township leading cadres.What needs to be explained is that these county leaders are all winners of the county and township cadre promotion championship, and they have experienced relatively fewer hidden steps, otherwise they would not be able to reach the first-level leadership position in the county in their entire lives.

Of course, there are exceptions, but the proportion of this part of the people in the huge bureaucratic system is too small to attract people's attention, or everyone dare not talk about it.

There is a very good example in front of us. Since Mu Guoxing embarked on his official career, he has reached a new level in a little over two years. Apart from his outstanding political achievements, he has not gone through those dazzling events. 1uan's invisible steps are directly in place in one step.According to the normal promotion path of officials, perhaps Mu Guoxing is now at most a department-level cadre, and no matter how great his political achievements are, it will not be of much use.

The problem is that in such a huge country as China, how many people can have a family background like Mu Guoxing?Grandpa is one of the nine members of the Standing Committee of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and his father is the former member of the Politburo Standing Committee. The two uncles are both deputy state-level leaders. Even after marrying a wife, her grandfather is also a big shot with the same qualifications as Mr. Mu. With a strong background that makes everyone speechless, it would be a strange thing if the progress is not fast.

Now there is a saying in official circles that village cadres are typed, township cadres are drunk, county and city cadres are handed out, and provincial and ministerial cadres are born. I can't comment on it, but if I think about it carefully, I think it's so interesting.

According to China's political system, it is destined to be impossible for someone like Obama to appear. Even if there is, it must be a very special person.A person's promotion path can only be planned by an expert who has been in the officialdom for many years, and every step may not be without relationship operations.I believe that the organization ministers and party secretaries at every level are well aware of these unspoken rules of officialdom.

Three people from Shunhai Province came to visit Mu Guoxing. They were Provincial Party Secretary Liu Jiazhong, Governor Wu Yipei, and Anjiang Municipal Party Secretary Hao Bode.Shunhai is a province with a strong economy. The secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor are both members of the Central Committee, while Anjiang is a well-known vice-ministerial level city. Naturally, there is one more member of the Central Committee than other places. It also came in accordance with relevant regulations.In addition, Mu Guoxing used to work there, so Shunhai, like Guangnan, was regarded as a place to produce cadres.

Hubbard never dreamed that since joining Mu Guoxing, his progress would be so fast.When Mu Guoxing went to Anjiang as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Hao Bode was the deputy mayor. After Liu Jiazhong was transferred to Shunhai Province, Wu Yipei took over as the secretary, and Hao Bode became the mayor.In the general election of the year before last, Wu Yipei served as the Governor of Shunhai Province, and the big pie of Anjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary fell on Hobold's head.

Although no one mentioned in front of Hubard why his promotion was so fast, Hubbard is definitely not a fool. He knows very well that without Mu Guoxing's support, if he wants to become the secretary of the Anjiang Municipal Party Committee, only dream.

Since then, Hubbard has always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Mu Guoxing and thank him for being a lucky man.But the idea is very good, but it is really difficult to realize it.First of all, in terms of rank, Hobbard is only a deputy ministerial cadre at the local level, and he is not qualified to report directly to the Standing Committee of the Politburo.Secondly, in terms of personal relationship, he is not Mu Guoxing's old subordinate, the two of them can be said to have a purely comradely relationship, and Hubbard can't visit him as a private province.It can be seen that not only are there many unspoken rules in the officialdom, but even these unwritten rules are enough to make any lower-level official cautious, for fear that breaking the rules will make the leader unhappy.

As the saying goes, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, how can they stay out of it in the officialdom? Although the three of Liu Jiazhong are Mu Guoxing's old subordinates, this time they are also visiting the chief in their personal capacity, but some things still have to be handled according to the rules. According to the rules of the officialdom, reporting work is a good way to get close to the long set.

After Liu Jiazhong and Wu Yipei reported their respective work, Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "Shunhai has done a good job in the past few years, and the central government is very satisfied. This time, the happiness index of the masses only got No.2. Do you feel a little unbalanced in your heart?"

Liu Jiazhong and Wu Yipei looked at each other. In fact, they didn't care much about the first and second places in the selection. The top three were all places where Mu Guoxing worked, which means that they were all the foundations laid by him, but there are some It is true that the cadres feel unbalanced.

"Boss, the provincial party committee has a correct understanding of this issue. The key is that the cadres at the city level still don't understand. These comrades believe that we invest more in people's livelihood than Guangnan Province. Falling behind Guangnan Province, it is really hard to figure it out."

Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "It's normal to have this kind of thinking, which shows that the enthusiasm of the cadres in Shun Hai Province has been fully mobilized. Shun Hai Province is a province with a strong economy. No matter how big it is, the masses will not feel any big changes. However, Guangnan Province is different. They have a low starting point and the lives of ordinary people are relatively poor. In just a few years, there have been earth-shaking changes. The satisfaction of ordinary people The degree is of course higher.

Hao Bode hastily reviewed: "Master, it is our An Jiang who has dragged the whole province back, and I am responsible for this."

Mu Guoxing smiled and waved his hands: "What I just said includes Anjiang City. This situation is common in some economically strong provinces. It's like farming in rural areas. The yield per mu has increased from [-] to [-]. Compared It is easy, but it is difficult to increase from [-] to [-]. This must rely on advanced science and technology and good management to achieve this goal. This example is also applicable to the economic work of a province or city."

Mu Guoxing's words are very clear. If Anjiang City's work wants to go further, it must rely on the development of science and technology, as well as good management measures by the government. Otherwise, it may stand still. It seems that the ancients said It is not bad at all that entrepreneurship is easy to maintain but difficult to achieve.

A staff member walked in with a brocade box in his arms. Hao Bode took the brocade box and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we all know that you never accept gifts, but you must accept this gift. This is the 700 million yuan gift from Anjiang City." The will of the people."

Following the voice, the brocade box was opened, and a shining silver model appeared in front of everyone. Mu Guoxing looked at this model and seemed to know him, thought for a while and then smiled. This model was exactly when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Anjiang. He presided over the construction of the Anjiang Third Bridge.

From the beginning of the project approval, this bridge has condensed a lot of painstaking efforts of Mu Guoxing. It is a pity that Mu Guoxing was transferred to Guangnan before the bridge was completed.The cadres and the masses in Anjiang feel deep regret when this matter is brought up.

The Bridge of Happiness, with four golden characters inlaid on one side of the model, Mu Guoxing stepped forward to take a closer look. It turns out that the four golden characters on the first level of the model of the bridge are all made of shells. inlaid.And this kind of shell is also unique to Anjiang. The common people call the silver-white shells called silver shells, and the golden shells are naturally called golden shells.What is surprising is that after special processing, the shells of these two types of conch will fluoresce at night. The people of Anjiang have used the shells of these two types of conchs to make handicrafts since ancient times.
