One day in the late 80s, Comrade Wan Li, then chairman of the National People's Congress [NPC], organized a full discussion at a meeting on such issues as the military's business and the people's struggle for profits, and the disputes between the military and the people, which were reflected in various localities.
Miles. In order to hold this meeting well, Wan Li specially asked relevant personnel of the military and localities to attend as observers, and everyone talked about their own opinions to discuss ways to solve the problem in detail.
At the meeting, comrades in many localities strongly suggested that the NPC should enact legislation to further regulate the military's business conduct. Otherwise, in the future, such disorderly development will soon lead to all kinds of malpractices, and if it is not properly controlled, it will not only affect social development, but also affect the combat effectiveness of the armed forces.
Comrades in the army also said that the troops should pay attention to training and preparing for war. However, there is a serious shortage of funds for the army, and many officers and men do not even have enough to eat, which is also a helpless ......move
Perhaps there are too many contradictions in the backlog, and everyone is discussing it very fiercely. At the meeting, Wan Li also talked about his views on the issue of the army's business, and it can be said that he talked very sharply.
Miles. In fact, as early as 1985, after the Central Military Commission approved that the troops could do business, Wan Li was opposed. Because he knows that in history, the shortcomings of the military's business have long been apparent, and there are even more lessons.
Therefore, he, Zhang Aiping and others clearly showed their attitude and resolutely opposed business. Since he took office as chairman of the National People's Congress, more and more problems in the military's business have been reported in various localities, and this has made him very worried.
Therefore, at this meeting, Wan Li made his point of view clear, he pointed out: the army can no longer do business. He emphasized that the army's business is the embodiment of mountaineering, and if you want to support your own mountain, you can't do it without money. And where does the money come from? That is, it is necessary to rely on the reversal of military supplies and eat the logistics of the troops, which comes quickly.
It can be said that Wanli hit the nail on the head and was strongly recognized by the participants. Wan Li continued to preach that all the hills of the army were drawing the ground as a prison, and they were no longer engaged in training for war preparation, and they were all scrambling to do business and get projects, and in fact they all wasted the combat effectiveness of the troops.
He emphatically said that after the troops went into business, the biggest contrast was that they lacked vigor and spirit. Of course, he also explained that he was not in the army, which was told to him by many comrades in the army, but judging from the round battles and big competitions in recent years, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, it is indeed not as good as before.
In the end, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and even bitterly said that it was very dangerous for the troops to go on like this, and that the soldiers were all like this, and that they could not be expected to fight in the future, saying that the guns were all rusty, and the party would not be able to command.
Wanli at the meeting.
Wan Li's speech at this table is deafening, thought-provoking, and sobering. Later, he really talked to the main leaders of the army at the time on the issue of doing business, and also made a positive contribution to the cessation of business in the later period.
In fact, Wan Li is not a member of the army, and it takes a lot of courage for him to talk about the issue of the army's business, because after all, the work of the NPC has nothing to do with the work of the army. Besides, Wan Li has never worked in the army, and compared with those old commanders and veterans, the seniority in the army is not enough. Therefore, these words he said were preceded by the word dare.
In fact, those who are familiar with Wanli know that his biggest characteristic is that he dares to speak and dare to do, and he is also a reformer with a super responsible spirit.
Miles. In those years, Xiaogang Village carried out the practice of guaranteeing production to households, which set off the prelude to rural reform, which was a bold move. At that time, people's minds had not been completely emancipated, and Wanli had the courage to support Xiaogang Village at that time with the courage to throw away the black yarn hat, and finally there was an epoch-making reform in the countryside. From this point of view, Wanli's courage to speak and dare to break through is unparalleled.
In fact, the word "dare" embodied in Wan Li is the embodiment of his demeanor and exemplary role.
After the implementation of reform and opening up, many people saw business opportunities and wanted to go to the sea to do business. At that time, Wanli was in a high position and could be said to have a lot of resources in his hands, but he made it clear that all children in the family were not allowed to do business.
Miles. He stressed that this is a matter of principle, and if everyone sees the children of thousands of miles doing business, they will form a kind of imitation, and the impact will be very bad, and it will be bad for the party's work style, and he has repeatedly called on veteran comrades to take the lead. And is this style particularly worthy of our inheritance and promotion, and worthy of learning from our descendants?
