Yang Zhen's answer, the chairman and vice chairman, and the boss didn't say anything after glancing at each other. The boss looked at Yang Zhen, hesitated for a moment and said, "These ideas of yours, the central government still needs to consider them for the time being." In this way, you go and rest first, and the central government will do its best to give you an answer. ”

Regarding the reply of the boss to be studied by the Central Committee, Yang Zhen smiled and did not say anything. He still understands the central government's cautious thinking. After thinking about it, he picked up a red and blue pencil and triangle again, and marked something in some places on the map before leaving.

However, before leaving, looking at the chairman, boss and vice chairman in front of him, Yang Zhen hesitated, took out a report from the pocket of his military uniform, respectfully handed it to the chairman and said, "Chairman, this is my marriage application report, please approve it with the head of the Central Committee." ”

Hearing that the material submitted by Yang Zhen was actually a marriage application, the chairman was slightly stunned, and then took it with a smile and a word. In fact, Yang Zhen didn't want to alarm the central leadership in this matter, but he, the number one bachelor in the Northeast Military Region, got married, and the Northeast Bureau actually had no right to approve it.

For his marriage, the Northeast Bureau also held a special secretary's office meeting. At the meeting, the commander-in-chief told him that his marriage report had to be approved by the Central Committee, because it was an order of the chairman, and the Northeast Bureau had no right to approve it. Yang Zhen, who knew what the chairman meant, had no choice but to take advantage of this opportunity to report to Yan'an and submit this marriage report to the central government for approval.

After carefully reading Yang Zhen's marriage report, when he saw the three words "Yuan Zhiruo" on the report, the chairman looked at Yang Zhen meaningfully and smiled, walked directly to the desk and picked up a brush to sign his name. After thinking about it, the chairman wrote another message of blessing, and then handed the report to the president and vice chairman.

The boss and vice chairman looked at the chairman's instructions on Yang Zhen's marriage report, smiled, signed their names, and then wrote their respective blessings. After receiving the marriage report full of blessings handed over by the vice chairman, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking that several central leaders should be relieved now.

Thinking about his marriage, it has become the top priority in the hearts of the central leaders, and Yang Zhen was also speechless for a while. I'm afraid that with so many party members across the country, marriage is the only one who can give the central leadership a headache. At this point, Yang Zhen really doesn't know whether he should be happy or happy for the different attention of the central leadership?

Back in the cave, Yang Zhen lay on the hot kang, but he didn't fall asleep for a long time when he looked at the roof of the cave. His mind had been pondering the right time to launch the attack, and he was constantly revising the planned plan. When he began to present himself in front of the chairman, he finally made up his mind that the battle would be fought according to his plan.

He knew very well what was the intention of the central leadership to leave behind the political commissar of the advancing army? After listening to their own battle plan, the central authorities still have to listen to the opinions of the two veteran commanders of the advance army. The two veteran commanders are not only the commanders and political commissars of the advancing army, but also the responsible persons of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Taihang Military Region, which are the most important in the next stage of cooperation.

As for the reason why the central government is so cautious, Yang Zhen can guess it without asking. Although it can be said that the two phases of the operation to open up the communication line with the inland areas of the Kansai are two completely different campaigns. Compared with the main task of taking West Manchuria, the starting point of the attack, and repelling the Japanese army south of the Songhua River as much as possible, the first phase of the operation to expand the living space for the North Manchurian base area.

The most important stage is still the second stage, which is still being discussed, and this is where the most critical stage lies in achieving the entire operational objective. Compared with the first stage of the battle, which is the starting point, the second stage of combat mission, which is the decisive factor, is the most important.

However, under the attack of the two strategic blocs of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army, it can be said that in addition to the New Fourth Army, which is active in Jiangbei, it is not needed for the time being because of the long distance. Almost all the main forces in North China and Northeast China were involved, including the Jinsui Military Region, which had always served as a barrier for the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region in the Hedong region.

It can be said that according to the scale of this battle planned by Yang Zhen, not only the Anti-Japanese Union and the Advance Army, but also the entire troops north of the Yellow River, and even north of the Huai River, I am afraid that the elite of the whole army can only meet the needs. In this case, it is strange that the central government is not cautious.

This is a bloody battle, and the consequences of defeat will be extremely severe. These are the backbone of the future, and if they are lost, they will all be gone. Even though the whole army has basically bid farewell to the situation of lack of guns and ammunition, it is still difficult for the central authorities to make a decision to carry out a decisive battle on such a strategic scale.

In addition to military issues, the political factors involved are not issues that the central authorities cannot but consider. Even in some cases, the political factor in the final stage of the campaign was greater than the military factor. In particular, if the second phase of the operation is carried out according to its own assumptions, it is unlikely that the central authorities will be cautious or not.

Because according to Yang Zhen's plan, he faced more than just a war against Japan. In the final stage, it is very likely that there will be a conflict with the headquarters of the deputy commander of the 8th Theater of Operations, who is stationed in Suixi. This is a very risky move for the very complicated and delicate political situation in the country during the incident in southern Anhui, and this is undoubtedly a very risky move for the central government, and it is normal for the central government to be cautious.

Yang Zhen was actually heroic in his mouth, but he was also a little worried in his heart. There is a huge political risk, so that the central government will not agree to approve its own operational opinions? This is still an unknown, at least for now. After listening to his report on his next operational thoughts, he could see the hesitation in his eyes very clearly.

Yang Zhen understands the chairman's worries very well, but in his heart he also believes that it is not completely impossible to avoid the possibility of a civil war. The Baotou area is still under the control of the Japanese army, and this battle will ultimately take meat from the Japanese army to eat, rather than fighting a civil war with certain forces. It was to recover the lost territory from the Japanese army, not the so-called land grabbing from the hands of the Eighth War Zone.

As long as the actions in this battle are carefully coordinated, the Jinsui Military Region will act decisively and take Baotou as quickly as possible before the Suiyuan King reacts. As long as it is an established fact, it is not impossible to completely avoid certain political factors. Because for the Jinsui Military Region, they have congenital convenience.

The Jinsui Military Region has a guerrilla detachment in the Daqingshan area. If the Anti-Japanese Federation launches an offensive against the Mongolian Xinjiang garrison army from the east, the main force of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army will inevitably be transferred eastward to block the offensive of the Anti-Japanese Federation with all its might. At this time, as long as the main force of the Jinsui Military Region moves quickly and cooperates with the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment, there is no problem in taking Baotou before the Suixi side, and the key is to move quickly.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen still decided to find an opportunity to talk with the chairman again during his stay in Yan'an. This night, Yang Zhen didn't close his eyes almost all night, and he was repeatedly thinking about how to do the work of the chairman. Because he knows that the President is not an easy person to persuade, especially when it comes to such strategic issues.

When I got up early the next morning and saw Yuan Zhiruo coming in with breakfast and toiletries, Yang Zhen gently hugged her and kissed her little face. After taking the things in her hand, he handed the marriage report personally approved by the chairman in his hand to her, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a smile.

What Yang Zhen stuffed into his hands, Yuan Zhiruo didn't take it seriously at first. When she opened it and saw the content on it, after being slightly stunned, she immediately raised her head to look at Yang Zhen. Although she tried to pretend to be calm, her slightly reddened eyes betrayed her mood at the moment.

Looking at Yuan Zhiruo, whose eyes were a little red, Yang Zhen, who knew what she was thinking, sighed slightly in his heart, and gently hugged the woman who had become his fiancée and said, "You have to think about it, once you become my wife, you will lose a lot of things." I don't like my family to get involved in politics, and after you marry me, you may only be able to be a housewife for the rest of your life. ”

Yuan Zhiruo, who was held in Yang Zhen's arms, did not hesitate for a moment after hearing Yang Zhen's words: "Yang Zhen, I don't love you because of your position. If I really had that kind of vanity, with my family power, I would not have come out to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance in the first place. Even if I had a misunderstanding with my father at the beginning, if I went to Kannai to find my brother and sister, I would still be a rich lady who didn't worry about food and clothing. ”

"What I love is you as a person, what I love is your kind of care and concentration on everything, what I love is your infatuation, what I love is the integrity and kindness in your heart, and what I love is the sense of responsibility and honor in your heart. Yang Zhen, I really love you. I am willing to bear children for you after your death for the rest of my life, even if it is to be a housewife for the rest of my life. ”

"Yang Zhen, I'm just an ordinary woman. I don't have that much ambition to be a big official. I have experienced so many lives and deaths, and now I just want to live my next life with my lover in peace. Raise a whole bunch of children for you and watch them grow up. I know you're a dragon, but I don't have the ambition to be a phoenix, I just want to be the little woman behind you. ”

After listening to Yuan Zhiruo's answer, what else could Yang Zhen say? He couldn't help but regret what he had just said, so he could only hug the woman in his arms tighter. Yang Zhen actually knows Yuan Zhiruo's character very well, and he is not the kind of person who is unwilling to be lonely and has great ambitions.

But let the talented Yuan Zhiruo do this as a plain housewife who revolves around firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, Yang Zhen feels a little pity for talent. Yuan Zhiruo, who is proficient in three foreign languages, is proficient in medicine, business, and even accounting, music, and painting, and is a strong woman in any era and environment.

But the lesson from the future made Yang Zhen very reluctant to let his future wife participate in politics. The woman in her arms really doesn't have this ambition now, but what about the future? Watching her comrades-in-arms who joined the army together, even later than herself, step by step into leadership positions, can her heart still be willing to be calm? Especially since she is her own wife, she has a certain advantage in nature. The psychological gap is what Yang Zhen is most worried about.

Yang Zhen's words were also said out of this concern. But Yuan Zhiruo's answer made Yang Zhen secretly regret it in his heart. What Yuan Zhiruo said is not wrong, with her family conditions, even if she had a misunderstanding with Old Man Yuan at the beginning, as long as she ran to the Guannei, she would live a prosperous and peaceful life.

It's not that she doesn't have other more insipid and safe options, and there is no need to join the Anti-Japanese Federation that was still very weak at the time and trapped in the deep mountains and old forests. I have been to the kind of hard days when I fought all day long with my head in blood, but I had no cotton in winter and no clothes in summer, and I was hungry and cold all day long, and I have endured so many hardships and tortures that even many men can't bear.
