Chapter 60: The Breakthrough
In the twenties and thirties, the entertainment industry was very developed, and a number of stars and famous directors were produced. Because there are many famous directors, for newcomers, there is a lot of pressure to be promoted. The reason why Li Ziwen was willing to come to Renqiu was because he was too bad in Shanghai and really couldn't see the future, so he came to Renqiu with the idea of trying it out. Li Ziwen can get to this point today, which his old friends can't imagine. There is no need to say that the resources in hand are not to be said, Ouyang Yun is willing to invest in this area, and the electronics industry of the Xuebing Army is the most advanced in the world, so it can be said that there is only the unthinkable, and there is nothing that cannot be done, so Li Ziwen is proud not to mention it.
Li Ziwen knows that everything he has today is given by Xuebing Jun and Ouyang Yun, so as long as there is any political figure, he will complete it to the letter.
Li Ziwen participated in the central meeting of the Cadet Army for the first time, and the excitement of his mood is needless to say, which can be seen from his gaffe just now. After stabilizing his mood, he calmly said: "Guangxi's receiving tower has almost been built, and now our electronic signals can cover 60 percent of its areas, which are densely populated areas in Guangxi, with more than 80 percent of Guangxi's population. Commander-in-Chief, do you have any instructions? ”
Ouyang Yun: "Did you finish the 'Fight Against Foreign Aggression Feature Film' I asked you to make last time?" ”
"It has been completed before the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were too many foreign insults, so it took a long time. ”
"Let's start broadcasting on all channels, remember to emphasize that in history, the reason why our country has repeatedly suffered foreign insults is because of the inaction of the government and the division of the country. Be a little more passionate in the narration – passionate, you know? ”
Li Ziwen nodded and smiled: "It's good, I will invite President Mei to be the narrator himself." ”
President Mei is Mei Lanshu, the president of Guangzhou Daily and the "Xuebing Army Times". Mei Lanshu is not only powerful in writing, but also sharp and passionate in her words, and her narration is believed to stimulate the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm to the greatest extent.
"When the date is set, show it to me."
"Yes."
After Ouyang Yun arranged this hand, his attitude towards the national government was already very clear. Although he did not explicitly say what he wanted to do with the Nationalist Government, the generals present knew that once the Cadet Army began to create public opinion, it would show that they were ready for battle.
Ouyang Yun looked at Jiang Guangnai and asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Guangnai nodded: "Start with public opinion first, and let the people suspect the Central Army's ill intentions, which is a good strategy." Public opinion is the vanguard, and as long as the people of Guangxi and Jiangxi can understand our hardships and understand our sincerity, I think that even if the Nationalist Government tries to find an excuse to justify itself, it will be able to break through without attacking. Commander-in-Chief, ladies and gentlemen, I have been playing against Chiang for many years, and finally failed, and in the past few years, I have reflected in Hong Kong and discovered the key to Chiang's victory. Chiang's political skills are very clever, no, it should be a conspiracy. I'm good, Chen Jitang, or even General Feng, the reason why we failed in the last place was not because of military mistakes or weakness, but because we were defeated in the hands of our own people. Commander-in-Chief, from now on, I feel that we must strengthen the control of the troops, and we must not repeat the mistakes of our 19th Route Army and the Cantonese system. To maintain the purity of the troops, officers at the rank of regiment commander and above must be absolutely loyal to the cadet army and to the commander-in-chief; in fact, as long as this is done well, I think it is impossible for Chongqing to defeat us like the Cantonese system. Commander-in-Chief, I know that there is an organization among the middle and lower ranks of officers that is loyal only to you, and I feel that it is time to make that organization work. Let these young people play a role in the army, they are younger and less experienced, but they are absolutely loyal to you. ”
The organization Jiang Guangnai mentioned was actually the Young Officers' Association that Chen Shichang and his wife had organized when they were in office. The original intention of the formation of the Youth Association was to ensure Ouyang Yun's absolute leadership position in the Cadet Army, and because most of the members of the association were too extreme, Ouyang Yun was worried that there would be radical actions similar to the Great Purge of the Soviet Union, so he adopted a strategy of suppression against the association. It is precisely because of his suppression that the association has not been able to form a real force. Extraordinary measures were taken at this time, and Jiang Guangnai proposed at this time to confirm the official status of the association, which would have more advantages than disadvantages for the student army under the current situation.
The division commanders and army commanders present here, because of their age, position, and rank, none of them joined the association, but they knew very well how powerful the association was. The Young Officers' Association, in fact, is also called the "Cloud Party Youth Association", and most of the members of the association are officers at the regimental, battalion and company levels, and the most taboo thing they make division commanders and army commanders taboo is that they can influence the decision-making of the command headquarters through the mobilization of soldiers.
For the time being, the Youth Association has not violated the orders of the peak, but because they have this ability, it is still the biggest hidden danger in the hearts of the division commanders.
Once the youth associations become official organizations, their power will inevitably increase, and if they are controlled by people with ulterior motives, it will be the source of trouble. After all, not every reason for many decisions made at the top can be seen in the light, which is easy to cause misunderstanding at the bottom. If the misunderstanding is not eliminated in time, it will definitely affect the incoordination and even confrontation between the upper and lower levels in action, and if this is serious, it will even affect the final outcome of a battle.
The reason why Jiang Guangnai failed to oppose Chiang in the first place was because too many of his subordinates were bought off by Nanjing (the Nationalist Government was still in Nanjing at that time). The so-called "one cuts to grow one wisdom", he is really afraid of suffering this loss, so he has such an idea, to control the army by controlling middle and low-level officers, so as to avoid the phenomenon of battlefield defection because a certain chief officer is bribed.
Jiang Guangnai emphasized this point, naturally for the sake of learning soldiers and soldiers. However, the sequelae were not small, which made many military commanders, including Li Hansoul, look at Ouyang Yun with a worried expression.
It was too obvious that once Ouyang Yun agreed to Jiang Guangnai's suggestion, then their command of the troops would inevitably be greatly affected. Young officers are the cornerstone of the army, and they need to be on the front line when fighting. There has never been a shortage of officers in the cadet army who have fought bravely and taken the lead, and this is a good thing. But the problem now is that once their loyalty and passion are used in the wrong place, then it is a good intention to do a bad thing, which will have an unpredictable backlash.
Everyone looked at Ouyang Yun, and Ouyang Yun was also looking at them. The person who traveled from that time and space, because he was familiar with that period of history, naturally knew what kind of side effects this proposal would have if it was approved and approved by himself. He was clear about the original intention of the establishment of the Young Officers' Association, which was to defend him, but because the force of this association was too large, and even had the effect of turning things around, he didn't dare to release it at all.
This matter is related to Li Hansoul's actual command, and it is naturally difficult for them to speak out against it, in that case, wouldn't they be suspected of fighting for power? Jiang Guangnai's proposal was to worry that someone would form a small collective in the army and seek benefits for himself, but he would be bribed by the Chongqing side.
Chen Shichang looked a little excited. The proposer of the Youth Association is Chu Tiange, but so far, the actual decision-maker has become him. Once the Youth Sorority becomes an official organization, you can imagine how high he will reach as president. At the very least, he's qualified to be the protagonist of today's meeting and not as an entourage.
People have ambitions, Chen Shichang himself may not realize that he hopes that the Youth Association will become an official organization, just to better defend Ouyang Yun and determine Ouyang Yun's unshakable leadership position in the student army. However, when he really holds the right to do so, will his thoughts still be so simple? This is doubtful. After all, there are so many external influences that no one can guarantee that they will not be affected and shake their original intentions.
Ouyang Yun thought about it, and finally shook his head: "No, there is no need for this." ”
When Li Hansoul and the others heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and many people showed a relaxed look on their faces. Jiang Guangnai looked at Ouyang Yun with an inquiring look, while Chen Shichang's face instantly turned red.
Ouyang Yun then explained why there was no need for this: "Although the Young Officers Association is a positive and progressive organization, the role they play is actually duplicated with Director Ji's work. Do you think it is necessary to set up such an organization outside of the Department of Political Affairs? Okay, that's the end of this issue, if you have any thoughts, let's talk about it. ”
Li Tieshu glanced at everyone and found that no one wanted to speak, he looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Commander-in-chief, let me say a few words." ”
Ouyang Yun nodded.
"There is nothing mysterious about the Chongqing government's approach to dealing with local armed forces, which is to buy some people and then achieve the goal of dismantling them from within. I wondered, can we give back to the other way? Just now, Chief of Staff Chiang mentioned the role of the Young Officers' Association, and the commander-in-chief mentioned the role of the Political Department, which made me suddenly realize the biggest difference between our Cadet Army and the Central Army-" Li Tieshu paused when he said this, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "Our concept of governing the army is to attach importance to everyone, and it is precisely in order to reflect this that we have set up such posts as company guidance and regimental political director. On the other hand, what about the Central Army, what do they value? They value generals who hold military power. In this comparison, the biggest disadvantage of the Central Army will come out, the centripetal force of the troops is poor, and the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. ”
