In the 1980s, there was a street rumor that those who built atomic bombs were not as good as those who sold tea eggs, and those who operated scalpels were not as good as those who held razors. Does this mean in? 1985 March 14, my father wrote a letter to the party Committee of the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense. He used the words angrily: "Some people want to do business in enterprises and companies, so let them leave the army or the government and do it well!" This kind of official business or military business is really not done by the army led by our * * * production party, but by the warlord Kuomintang. Enthusiasm for doing business will inevitably lead to corruption. In particular, the organs of the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense are keen on making money, rather than climbing the peak of science and technology. How sad!

"Don't turn your personality into a commodity! All along, I have a warning to myself:' Don't be ashamed of yourself for fame and fortune'. Do you think so? Please call a spade a spade Its purpose is nothing more than expecting comrades on the national defense science and technology front to carry forward the fine tradition of the national defense science and technology front. "

On one occasion, people chatted and said that the National Defense Science and Technology Commission was still operating. My father angrily denounced:

"What company, company, is to borrow public fat private. What center! I think it is money-centered! "

People said to him: now society is like this. He replied, "What shall we do? It's an atomic bomb! Can you be the same as others? "

People say again, haven't you heard of the chief? It is better to sell tea eggs than to engage in atomic bombs.

Father was furious: "Who said that he should sell tea eggs!" " He poked at the floor angrily with his cane and said, "Get him out of here at once! " "

My father said at the executive meeting of the Central Military Commission: "Doing business between the army and the government will inevitably lead to the fall of officials, and officials will inevitably lead to corruption. Buying and selling military uniforms is a shame for the army and a sorrow for the country. Advocating troops to do business and make money is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall. "

As he spoke, he became angry again: "If we who work in the Central Military Commission can't stop these things, if we continue like this, there will be war in the future. Whose head should we kill? " Should have killed us first. Kill our heads, but also leave a stigma, an ugly name, a bad name! Even the body will be remembered for thousands of years! "

After thinking about it, he added, "At that time, no wonder others tried to knock you down!"

This house is full of surprises.

But there was nothing he could do. The tide of party, government and army doing business is unstoppable. For some time, the whole army has been immersed in the sea of business.

Anyone who has been to Hainan will be deeply impressed by the gas stations marked with the "August 1st" military emblem on both sides of the highway. In many cities, advertisements for signalmen to run paging stations, hotels, restaurants, bars and karaoke bars run by the army can be seen everywhere. The army also quickly entered the fields of capital operation such as real estate, securities and futures. The army not only participates in normal commercial activities, but also participates in some illegal profit-making activities. I don't know when, many cars with military motor license plates have sprung up. As soon as the license plate changes hands, it can be changed into bundles of banknotes. For the military, there is no cost except that the application takes time. When this situation attracted the attention of the traffic police, they simply rented out their soldiers together with military vehicles, which just responded to the sentence "escort for reform and opening up"

With the deepening of the army going out to sea, the property right relationship of military-run enterprises has become more and more complicated. Enterprises of different military units, enterprises of military units and non-military units, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan-funded and foreign-funded enterprises. Once the shares are combined, the interests will be consistent, and the army will become a mercenary business organization. When defending its own economic interests, the army will inevitably go ahead. Why do I have to do the inspection of industry and commerce, taxation, customs and forestry departments?

But the problem does not stop there. Father often said: "wood will rot first, and worms will eat!" " "What really kills me is the internal decay and the change of mechanism. Can markets and wars merge? The mechanism of the company is replacing the mechanism of the army. War requires the absolute obedience of the army, and the market requires equal exchange. National security is the mission of military personnel; Doing business has turned all the troops into independent stakeholders. Once you have immediate economic benefits, all units want to keep their "business secrets", and no one can grasp the real situation of the overall situation. No one knows how many military-run economic entities there are in this country.
