Chapter 266: The Unforgivable Reason

Guo Bingxun's remarks can be described as a bold revenge plan. Not to mention a person like Chen Bo who has been educated in strict discipline. It was Yang Zhen, a latecomer whose thinking was decades ahead of this era, who was dumbfounded after hearing it. Isn't this to let yourself learn from the devil and become a drug dealer?

Yang Zhen pondered for a long time, but he still didn't make up his mind. The phone is picked up and put down, put down and picked up. Regarding Guo Bingxun's theory of reciprocal retaliation, Yang Zhen is not without ideas. But from the era when everyone shouted at drugs in later generations, he has always been very repulsive about these things in private. In his opinion, this kind of thing is untouchable.

Although he knew that in this day and age, drug trafficking was ostensibly illegal, but in reality it was largely unchecked. As long as you have enough background and give enough gifts to the big and small military leaders along the way, no one will care at all. Even in their own jurisdiction, they will send armed escorts along the way.

This is not to mention, in fact, many warlords in the mainland are themselves big drug dealers. The cultivation and production of opium is an important source of military spending. Grow and produce opium in their own territory in exchange for arms and military expenses. The great warlord who has been in Ningxia for decades has not relied on the cultivation of opium to raise an army of more than 100,000 people in Ningxia, a barren and poor place.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind and picked up the phone and found Chen Long. To do this kind of thing, the main thing is that Chen Bo's social department is not good at it. Mainly rely on Chen Long's intelligence department.

Guo Bingxun is not wrong, the winner is not punished. As long as he is the victor, no one will pursue this matter. Since the little devil, the biggest drug dealer in World War II, was not punished after the war, not only did he escape punishment, but decades later, he is still enjoying the luxurious life brought by these riches. Then you will not be punished.

Moreover, the target of his drug trafficking is the little devil who uses drugs to harm the Chinese, which is a reciprocal revenge for the Japanese army to use drugs to amass wealth by unscrupulous means. Much better than those who sell drugs to their fellow citizens. The only thing that made Yang Zhen a little guilty was the strict discipline within the party.

Yang Zhen knew that if the central government knew that he was trafficking drugs, no matter how much the leader valued himself, he might not be able to protect himself. Therefore, this matter must be done in extreme secrecy, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

When Chen Long, who was hurriedly found by Yang Zhen, heard Guo Bingxun's plan, he was no better than Chen Bo of his family. Chen Long, whose jaw was about to drop in fright, looked at Yang Zhen in horror and said, "Commander, you know, if you let the central government know about this, you will lose your head." ”

Looking at Chen Long, who was a little surprised and unfavorable, Yang Zhen frowned and said, "I know the consequences of this matter." Therefore, this matter should be kept strictly confidential, except for the four of us, even the political commissar should not be sued. I repeat, remember that no one is allowed to sue except the four of us. ”

"You and Chen Bo will study it, and come up with a plan, all operations in the base area will be carried out by Chen Bo's social department, and your intelligence department will be responsible for it outside the base area. The required funds will be paid by your intelligence department, and the proceeds will be handed over to the logistics department, and the rest will be used as the funds of your two departments. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen was silent for a while, and after looking at Guo Bingxun, who was still very silent, after speaking, he turned his head and said: "In the future, all the things and needs of this plan will be directly asked to me for instructions, so don't let the chief of staff be distracted." Remember, ask me for instructions. ”

Although Yang Zhen didn't say it explicitly, he thought Guo Bingxun would understand the meaning of this sentence. It's not that he wants to seize power, but once this matter is revealed, I'm afraid the entire central government will be shaken.

The commander of a large military region, a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Bureau, and a secretary in charge of military work actually sold narcotics. Whoever the heroin is sold to, it will not be permitted. Once leaked, the consequences are unpredictable. He did this to take all the responsibility himself, and Yang Zhen didn't want to involve Guo Bingxun.

Guo Bingxun understood what he meant, but Guo Bingxun didn't let go so easily: "Commander, since I raised this matter, it is better for me to take the lead." You are the commander of the military district, the highest military commander, and you can't have an accident. I am not a member of the Communist Party of China at the moment, and even if this matter leaks out, the central government will not implicate others when dealing with me. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's idea of fighting with himself for the person responsible, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and took out a telegram from a telegram on his desk and handed it to Guo Bingxun and said, "Take a look for yourself." Lao Guo, do you still think that you are still a person outside the party, and party discipline can't control you? ”

"Your introducer to join the party has not been sacrificed, and now he is working in the Chengdu office of the Eighteenth Group Army. When the Central Committee asked him to investigate your background, he not only came forward to prove your identity and background, but also proved that you were a secret party member that he had single-handedly developed. Now your party membership has not only been restored, but even your organizational ties have been transferred from the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee to the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. ”

"This telegram was received yesterday by the commissar, I just read it this morning, but I haven't had time to talk to you yet. For a military wizard like you, a high-achieving student studying in France. Now that you are in such an extremely important position as the chief of staff of the military region, and the de facto second military commander of the military region, will the Central Committee carefully investigate your background? ”

"Lao Guo, you are now a member of the Northeast Bureau appointed by the Central Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Military Region, which means that you are now subject to the same party discipline as we are. And if you make a mistake, except for the Central Committee, even I, the second secretary of the military region, have no right to remove you. ”

Hearing what Yang Zhen said, Guo Bingxun also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Commander, this is changing too fast." I thought that my identity as a party member would have to be concealed for the rest of my life, but I thought that it would be found out by the central government so soon. But Commander, even so, you still don't interfere in this matter, let me do it. Since I came up with this idea, I'd better start and finish it. ”

Guo Bingxun's insistence made Yang Zhen shake his head and remain silent. Standing up, Yang Zhen walked to the door with some irritability, looked at the cloudy sky for a long time before turning his head to Chen Bo and Chen Long, who were surprised after knowing Guo Bingxun's true identity: "You must cooperate closely with the chief of staff in the future." ”

However, the chief of staff has a lot of daily affairs, and now the whole army is facing a large-scale expansion, and his energy is limited. You should take more responsibility, think more about yourself when you encounter problems, and don't involve the chief of staff too much. Although Yang Zhen didn't say it, his words actually acquiesced to Guo Bingxun being led by him.

After sending Chen Bo and the others away, Yang Zhen was silent for a while, then turned his head to Guo Bingxun and said, "Old Guo, everything has been dealt with?" He didn't suffer much when he left. ”

What is it, Yang Zhen did not say. Who he was, Yang Zhen didn't mention it. But it wasn't mentioned. But he believes that Guo Bingxun, who is already a heart-to-heart with him, will know what he asks. It's not that he's playing tricks, it's that he really doesn't want to mention that person's name.

Guo Bingxun nodded when he heard the words and said, "It's done, it's been buried." Chen Bo did a very clean job, and a large dose of heroin was given, and he did not suffer any crimes. He was ruined by drugs and eventually died on drugs. In this way, it can be regarded as the cause of his own planting, and he swallowed the fruit again. ”

"When he was leaving, he asked me to bring you a word. He said he knew he wasn't qualified to say sorry right now, and he knew you wouldn't forgive him in your life. Even though he said he knew you wouldn't forgive him again, I could tell that he still wanted to see you one last time. ”

"He knew you wouldn't see him again, and he asked me to bring you a word. He knows that there is no turning back in his life, but if there is an afterlife, he still has to be your subordinate and follow you to fight devils. ”

Even though Chen Bo has taken care of his drug addiction these days and has been using it according to his needs and providing some convenience, he looks very haggard. Although he seemed calm on the surface, I could see that the pain in his heart was indescribable. ”

"Commander, sometimes mental torture is a hundred times more painful than physical torture. When you returned, you never agreed to meet him. He knew that you would never forgive him in his life, and his expression was filled with an indescribable disappointment. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I hate him, and I won't forgive him." It's not just because of Zhang Ting's matter, and it's not just his betrayal. What I hate even more about him is that he didn't treat us as his brothers and comrades. What do you see he did? If you have difficulties, why don't you find our superiors and old brothers who live and die together to solve them? ”

"What did he think of us? When the position is promoted, the person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people? Are we people like this in his eyes? Could it be that those of us who are superiors will only let them go into battle and charge, and nothing else? Can't even solve problems for your own subordinates? ”

"His wounds, even if we can't heal them. But we can send him to Jiangbei for thorough treatment. Are we so untrustworthy? Do you have to do it yourself? Not to mention that he was addicted to drugs, he also harmed so many people, and did things that were intolerable and unacceptable. ”

Hearing the anger in Yang Zhen's tone, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said, "Commander, it's not that he doesn't trust us. Is it that he knows that it is useless for him to come to us? The wounds on his body are difficult to heal even if they are sent to Jiangbei, and at most they can only take out the residual shrapnel on their bodies. ”

"Before Zhang Ting died, I asked her. Zhang Ting told me that the injuries on Zhang Biao's body hurt the nerves. Although most of the shrapnel was removed, part of the nerve had already been damaged. And the remaining shrapnel, which could not be removed, was at the intersection of nerves in his legs. ”

"The injuries on his body have no chance of being cured according to current medical technology. Those few pieces of shrapnel, if you want to not hurt the nerves, you can't take them out at all. In this life, before the advent of new surgical techniques, painkillers can only be relied on to sustain and relieve pain. ”

"Our troops are not allowed to take drugs, and once they are discovered, they will be dealt with very severely. And his pain was no longer effective in painkillers, so he could only think of some opium to relieve the pain. ”

"When we opened up the base area, we confiscated all the drugs that were openly distributed in the entire base area. He wants to use opium to relieve pain, so he can't ask you and me for special approval. If this thing gets out, will others think of us like this? Knowing the law and breaking the law, or shielding and conniving? ”

"He doesn't want to cause us trouble, and he doesn't want to have any bad influence on us. I want to get opium again to relieve the pain. You can only go to the reserve warehouse, or go to the black market to buy bootlegged goods. He has no money in his hands, and he is anxious for opium to relieve his pain, so it is not surprising that someone with a heart takes advantage of it. ”

"It's a pity that a person went astray because of a thought, not only harmed himself, but also hurt Xiao Zhang." Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun stopped the topic. Zhang Ting is a thorn in Yang Zhen's heart, although he doesn't want to mention it, but faintly for some reason, Guo Bingxun always wants to defend Zhang Biao.

Guo Bingxun's words made Yang Zhen completely silent. Yang Zhen is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, but let him lightly forgive a person who hurt himself and brought great danger to the troops. Even if that person has received retribution, it is difficult to say.

Looking at Yang Zhen's somewhat gloomy back, Guo Bingxun decided to divert the topic: "Commander, now the new troops have begun to be formed one after another, and the two columns have also begun to be formed. But the candidates for the commanders and commissars of these two columns have not yet been decided. Do you see if you should do your best to determine the candidate? We can also report to the central government and approve the new establishment. ”

Yang Zhen groaned slightly: "I already have a rough idea of the commander of the first column, and Wang Guangyu will serve as it." Forming a column not only increased the number of troops, but also tripled the number of troops. Wang Guangyu continues to shoulder the military and political responsibilities, which is no longer very suitable. I have a candidate for this political commissar. Yi Jianping, the political commissar of the third district, is a good candidate, and it is a headache who can be transferred to replace the political commissar of the third district. ”

"As for the candidate for the commander of the Second Column, I intend to transfer Chen Hanzhang, the acting commander of the First Division, to the post. The political commissar is temporarily represented by the senior director of the political department of the military region. However, although Chen Hanzhang was proficient in guerrilla warfare, he had no experience in directing large-scale movement warfare. There are still some doubts about whether he can assume the responsibility of being a commander in one aspect. ”

Speaking of this, after Yang Zhen remembered that he was originally the best candidate for the commander and political commissar of the second column, he smashed his fist on the door frame angrily and said angrily: "It's all those two uncompetitive guys, if it weren't for them repeatedly disobeying orders and attacking without authorization, why would I have such a headache." ”

Guo Bingxun heard Yang Zhen's candidate, listened to his angry words, smiled slightly, and said: "Commander, Chen Hanzhang's lack of experience in large-scale sports warfare is not a difficult thing, he is still very young and can learn. Before he really matures, we can transfer Ma Chunsheng to the post of chief of staff of the second column to assist him in his work. However, it is a little inappropriate for Gao Yu to concurrently serve as the political commissar of the second column. ”

"The responsibility of the political department is very heavy in this expansion of the army. Director Gao, who already had a heavy burden himself, could hardly have the energy to take care of the work of the column. The columns were newly formed, and even the brigades under their jurisdiction were newly formed. It is not possible to do without a full-time commissar. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun sighed slightly and said: "I don't think this will work, the commander of the Second Column will be transferred to Wang Xiaoming, the former political commissar of the Second Brigade, and Chen Hanzhang will be reappointed as a political commissar." Chen Hanzhang lacked experience in large-scale movement warfare, but he had served as a political commissar for a long time during the Fifth Division of the Second Army, and he had rich experience in the party and government, so he had absolutely no problem being qualified for the post of political commissar of a column. After he has accumulated a certain amount of experience, he can also change to the position of military commander. ”

"And Wang Xiaoming, you have always said that he is a general. Compared with the political committee member, although he is a political work cadre, he is more suitable to be a military chief. It's just that the Second Brigade has always lacked a political commissar, so it has never been reappointed as a military commander. I think it's still very appropriate for him to switch with Chen Hanzhang. As for the candidate to replace Yi Jianping, it is better to discuss it with the political commissar. ”
