The continuous sunny days have increased the temperature in the capital to the peak, and just when everyone realized that the heat was unbearable, a rain quietly swept the capital.

Undoubtedly, this was a timely rain. The temperature in the capital suddenly dropped because of this rain. People suddenly realized that in the season, it was the beginning of autumn now... The rain was not heavy, drizzling, but the sky was very dark, and the layers of convoluted dark clouds blocked the sun tightly, leaving no gap.

In fact, in addition to the weather changes, today is undoubtedly an ordinary day for the capital. But as the political and military center of the Republic, the capital is destined to happen every day, and these things are likely to attract world attention.

Today, a ceremony to promote the rank of general was held in the August 1st Building of the Central Military Commission. Liang Yuanda, who had just taken over as Chairman of the Central Military Commission, announced a letter of order, and this time six generals were successfully promoted to the rank of general of the Republic.

In addition to the Fourth Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army, the General Office of the Military Commission and other relevant leaders who attended the promotion ceremony today, people from major units in Beijing were also invited to attend. Zhang Qingyun, as the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee, was among the invitations.

Everyone has a military dream in their hearts, just like the heroic dream of a young man. With a wave of his hand, millions of people fight forward to death. The scene of a magnificent, passionate and blood surname is fatal attraction to any man.

Although it is a peaceful era and the situation may have a small surname, the army is still moved by many holy spirits that are not available outside. Just like now, the six senior Republic officers awarded the title are all neatly decorated and energetic, as well as the uniform arrangements and personnel created by the troops in the venue.

At the moment when the title was successfully awarded, everyone applauded, and the applause was neat and enthusiastic. Zhang Qingyun believed that at this moment, the six new generals on the rostrum must be excited.

In the Republic, the general is the peak of a soldier. Being able to reach this position by being a soldier is worthy of his efforts and efforts throughout his life. In this way, what else can he ask for?

At the ceremony, Zhang Qingyun felt the serious and sacred atmosphere in the hall with great care and was full of envy for the surrounding troops.

Among the officials invited today, Zhang Qingyun's level is relatively low. Non-military people who can participate in such a high-level award ceremony are generally at least members of the Politburo. Zhang Qingyun sat in front of the front row with Mr. Weng, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and next to him was a State Councilor, and his fourth uncle.

After getting in close contact with [***], Zhang Qingyun felt that his fourth uncle was really old. This should be the last State Councilor under [***]. He, Zhan Jianghui, and Huang Xinquan were a group of cadres. As the leaders of the younger generation of cadres who rose in the capital back then, as time passed, they finally passed the most glorious moment and are now slowly retreating.

The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, one wave after another, one wave after another. Some people can be at the forefront of the storm, while others can only go with the flow. But no matter how much glory there is, after the wheel of history crushes, everything in the past turns into illusion... Zhao Chuan is the youngest official among the generals today. In fact, he is still over 50 years old. Among the senior military cadres, they are considered young cadres before they reach 60 years old.

Zhang Qingyun still clearly remembers the first time he met Zhao Chuan. It was in the Red Building of Wude. At that time, Zhao Chuan was still a young general. The military power was exposed in every move, and there was an indescribable sense of suaveness.

But Zhao Chuan is now very different from before. In the simple words, it is "old". In Zhang Qingyun's impression of Zhao Chuan and Wang Feng, the worst impression is that both of them are very utilitarian.

Zhang Qingyun and the two had conflicts, more or less because of utilitarianism, all because of interest decisions and abandonment. At that time, Zhang Qingyun was full of vigilance against Zhao Chuan and Wang Feng.

But now looking back, the so-called utilitarian mind is actually a young mind in a sense, the impetuousness of young people, and the utilitarian mind of young people, although it may be annoying and sometimes cruel, but what is beating is passion, hard work, and youthful melody, which is actually the most precious.

Now, Zhao Chuan has successfully taken over the burden of the top figure of the Zhao family from [***]. Although the stability and sophistication he showed were as thick as a mountain, for Zhang Qingyun, he did not have the artistic conception of raising glasses and drinking together and laughing at the world!

"Qingyun, the work in the capital has been carried out recently, and everyone says you are so brave!" [***] turned his head and whispered to Zhang Qingyun.

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, "If the capital wants to reform, it must be a bit courageous. Since the central government has handed over this burden to me, I naturally cannot relax my requirements! We have taken a solid step at present, and I hope we can succeed in the future!"

[***] nodded and smiled with relief. He didn't say much about this issue. Although his current position is higher than Zhang Qingyun, that's all. Zhang Qingyun's experience and achievements over the years have long proved his ability and achievements with facts.

Zhang Qingyun is no longer the young man who was squeezed by the Zhao family and Gao family more than ten years ago to survive in the cracks. Now Zhang Qingyun has his own political philosophy, his own political circle, and his own ruling style. In the entire Republic's political arena, no one can underestimate his existence.

...Zhang Qingyun may be a little sentimental. What happened in the past few days is unsentimental. Zhao Chuan's promotion to general is just one of them. Another thing may have a greater impact on Zhang Qingyun.

Li Gang took office as the vice chairman of the Liaodong Provincial CPPCC. He went to Beijing with this new identity. The first thing he did was to find Zhang Qingyun, and the two of them got together.

When Zhang Qingyun met Li Gang, Li Gang was in his 30s at the time, and now Li Gang is in his 50s. Last year, Li Gang suffered a serious illness and underwent surgery. His whole body had a problem with his bones. When Zhang Qingyun saw him, the other party was already covered in white hair!

It is difficult for Zhang Qingyun to associate the old man in front of him with the handsome and elegant County Mayor Li who was Yongping back then. Li Gang was extremely satisfied with his current state, a senior official at the deputy ministerial level, and his age, he still has room for upward movement. If he could cross the threshold of the ministerial level before retirement, he would be very satisfied.

Zhang Qingyun congratulated him, and at the same time sighed in his heart that the path to becoming an official is actually a path of struggle. When we first entered the political arena, everyone worked hard and had to work hard.

But as this road goes further and longer, there are always people falling behind in the middle, and some people falling behind in the position of section chief. They give up their ambition, start to be confused, start to settle down in the status quo, start to be bored, and finally spend their ordinary life.

Some people are working hard for the position of director and working hard for a lifetime, and in the end they can only reach this position, and their youth will no longer be gone. They are seeking progress all their lives, they are cautious in everything, and they are cautious in every step. When they have power, they will retreat to the second line again.

Zhang Qingyun has personal experience. He has walked through Yongping, and many colleagues from the past are still in their usual ordinary positions. Some people may have lost their desire to make progress, while others may still continue to rush up unwillingly.

But how many people can rush up? Even if they rush up, like Li Gang, they suddenly feel that they should be satisfied. What kind of thought is he thinking?

"There is no colder at the height!" Zhang Qingyun's feeling became more and more powerful. When he arrived at Zhang Qingyun's position, he felt more and more that his thoughts were becoming out of place with the people around him. What made him feel distressed was that neither himself nor others seemed to be wrong.

There are two paths in front of you. Walking one by one is life. After walking one road, life is the end. Who can say whose choice is wrong? I am afraid no one can say that. Everyone has the right to choose their own path, and everyone has no right to interfere with other people's choices!

In addition to Li Gang, Gao Jixiang, as the same group of cadres of Zhang Qingyun, seemed to be leaving behind. In the large dye vat in East China, Gao Jixiang was always pressed to the position of mayor of Lingshui City and moved upwards without any movement.

Gao Jixiang used a lot of relationships about this, but they were all like muddy bulls entering the sea without any effect! When they reached a considerable level, if they wanted to promote, they would not be convincing without real political achievements.

Although Lingshui where Gao Jixiang is located is a provincial capital, its conditions are not comparable to those in various aspects of port city or even Huaiyang. In the East China region, Lingshui has been killed one after another by prefecture-level cities. The economy of East China is prosperous and developing rapidly, but Lingshui has always been a stagnant pool.

It is for this reason that Gao Jixiang was deeply trapped in the mud of Lingshui and could not get out. Gao Jixiang was a few years older than Zhang Qingyun. If he was suppressed for another five years, what would the political structure of the Republic look like in five years? In the past, the most promising children of the Gao family might have to be forgotten, right?

Apart from Gao Jixiang, Guo Yu's condition seems to be worse. Guo Yu has been fighting in East China for so many years and was transferred to the mayor of Jiangshui City. In Jiangshui, he has an old problem and sang against the stage plays with the secretary and broke up the secretary's stage.

Ma Weiran has reported this to Zhang Qingyun several times. From Zhang Qingyun's standpoint, Guo Yu cannot be regarded as a cadre he brought out. Besides, Guo Yu is a member of the Guo family. When Zhang Qingyun was in East China, he could give some care, but now it is too late, and Zhang Qingyun cannot stretch his hands too long.

Guo Yu fought happily, which made few people in the East China team like him, and his path to progress seemed to be far away.

They were once a good person, but after a few years, they gradually became divided into levels...
