705. Core Layer Meeting
Bai Shujie's words are simple to understand, which actually illustrates a problem: after killing Jiang, the situation may be even worse.
As long as you are a normal person, you want things to go for the better, and no one wants to make things worse.
So although many people feel that they are really unwilling to speak for someone Jiang, for the sake of the overall situation, they have to pinch their noses and admit it.
"Fuck, Jiang is really in a good time, whether it is an enemy or a friend, now stand up and speak for him!"
Hou Zide, the commander of the Second Division, immediately stated his position after Bai Shujie finished speaking: "Even for the sake of the little devil, Lao Tzu is in favor of sparing Jiang someone this time!" β
At the same time, he called on all forces across the country to proceed from the overall national situation to promote the peaceful settlement of the affairs in Xi'an and to curb the separatist forces that were constantly clamoring in Nanjing.
The most important thing is that Bai Shujie exposed the "low-key club" in Nanjing in advance, and pointed out the goal for the future choice of those who are interested.
Subsequently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a declaration on the current situation, comprehensively expounding the importance of peacefully resolving the Xi'an Incident, and calling on all ethnic groups in the country to unite and establish an anti-Japanese national united front to resist aggression and strive for national independence and freedom.
This is the inherent trajectory of history, and Bai Shujie didn't care too much. Because this joint meeting of TongguΓ² brought together the main members from all walks of life in Chengde, it was a rare opportunity. So, a higher-level meeting was held in secret.
The venue of this meeting was in the Sanxiandong base area, and there were not many people attending the meeting. Except for Cao Fengxiang, the governor of Rehe Province, and Sheng Zhiguo, the director of the Public Security Department, all of them are core figures in the military.
All members of the Internal Security Bureau: Qin Yuefang, Yang Erya, Wang Xinlan, Xiao Lamei, Huang Qiaoyun;
Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, Lu Ming, Zhang Xiang, Hou Zide, Basket Caiqin, Chen Junda, Shi Liancheng, Xia Enze, Yang Zhaodi, Yang Manchu of the Front Army;
Gan Tong, Han Qingfen, Cheng Shijie, and Shao Jianzhang of the Garrison Command;
Six old ancestors: Lin Heier, Wang Yidao, Wang Yihammer, Shen Xuemin, Mu Yuwen, and Old Man Wan.
Specially invited representative: Zhao Yiman, director of the political department, Bai Shujie got straight to the point: "Master, uncle, and all the old brothers, I invited you here today because there is a major event involving the overall strategic situation that needs to be reported to you. Yes, just to inform. There is no question of discussion in this matter, because it has already begun to be fully implemented. β
"Erya's special task force has stolen and deciphered the little devil's "Outline for the Implementation of the War against China in 1937". Because Tada Jun was miserable by us, the little devil replaced him with Tashiro Wanichiro half a year ago and served as the commander of the Tianjin garrison. β
"Tashiro Wanichiro and Tada Jun and Okamura Ninji were classmates, and they were all crazy warmongers with a great interest in occupying our entire country. According to the reliable information I have, the little devils will launch a full-scale war of aggression against us within the next year. β
"If this war breaks out, the whole country will be plunged into a protracted war, and all the peoples of the country will have to pay great sacrifices. However, the major forces in China still have some illusions about the little devil, and they don't even believe that this qiΔ is true at all. β
"In this case, as the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance, we, the anti-Japanese government of Rehe Province, must not sit idly by. Therefore, in a-for-tat confrontation with the little devils, I also formulated a "Outline for the Implementation of the War against Japan." β
"This program is divided into two parts: the frontal operation against Japan in Rehe Province and the operation behind enemy lines of the expeditionary force. Master, uncle, you are all from the past. If we wait until the enemy enters the door, no matter how much we resist, it will be our people who will suffer in the end. β
"Therefore, in our next battle, we must have a strong army to burn the war into the hearts of the little devils, so that they cannot devote all their strength to our domestic battlefield. At the same time, it can also restrain them from slaughtering us civilians with impunity. β
"To this end, we began to form the Wyvern Expeditionary Force half a year ago. At present, the First Flying Dragon Division, the Second Flying Dragon Division, and the Flying Dragon Heavy Artillery Division have been formed and are undergoing secret training. β
"However, this force is still not enough, and we need to form the Third Division of the Flying Dragon, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, the Guard Force, and the Baggage Force in the next three months, with a total strength of more than 80,000 troops."
"This time, we need to step out of the country and kill the enemy's house. Therefore, those who enter the expeditionary force should be mentally prepared that they will never return. The purpose of convening this meeting today is to determine the principal responsible persons of the various units to which the expeditionary force belongs. β
"First of all, I would like to inform you of the personnel who have been identified: Bai Shujie, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, Zhao Jinxi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Gan Tong, Chief of General Staff, and Lu Ming, Deputy Chief of General Staff; Shi Liancheng, commander of the first division, Xia Enze, deputy division commander, and Yang Zhaodi, chief of staff; Chen Jie, commander of the Second Division, Zhang Yushu, deputy division commander, and Chen Dazhu, chief of staff; Zhao Dayong, commander of the heavy artillery division, Shen Guodong, deputy division commander, and Lu Wanqing, commander of the artillery division. β
"At present, there is a vacancy in the General Political Commissar and a vacancy in the officers of the Third Division, and the next step is to set up the Political Department, the General Staff Department, the Operations Department, the Intelligence Department, the Security Department, the Communications Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department, and the Military Medical Department. However, we have a basic principle: those who have already married and those who have a family in China should not do so. β
"In order to ensure that the internal and external fronts do not disrupt the war, I propose that the Rehe Front Army and the garrison headquarters be merged in the future, with Zhang Xiang as the commander-in-chief and Hou Zide as the deputy commander-in-chief, under the unified command of the seven divisions in Rehe Province with 120,000 people. I have written a letter to Chairman Mao of the CPC Central Committee in northern Shaanxi that a general political commissar will come over in July next year. β
"What I need to emphasize is that in the coming difficult days, when the Rehe Front is faced with a heavy choice, the general political commissar responsibility system will be implemented. Don't underestimate the future General Political Commissar, it will definitely be a tiger general, and an iron-blooded general who has gone through a 25,000-mile long march, much stronger than you coal diggers! β
Lin Hei'er smiled slightly: "Jie'er, you invited us old guys over, didn't you want to listen to what you said?" β
"Master, I have never had the opportunity to fulfill my filial piety in front of you, and then I will go abroad on an expedition." Bai Shujie's voice was a little gloomy: "I'm thinking, if your old body is okay, then go with me on the expedition." Let our mother and son also go to the house of the Oriental people to avenge the death of one arrow! β
"Hahaha-" Lin Heier laughed loudly: "Back then, She Taijun was 100 years old, Jiang Ziya was eighty years old, and he could still contribute to the country." My old woman is not yet sixty years old, so she is very young compared to her predecessors! Besides, with you in front, if my old woman doesn't participate, she will regret it for the rest of her life! β
"We can't do it anymore, just stay here and let Zhang Xiang and Hou Zide raise them." Wang Yidao also said with a smile: "But after all, I am almost seventy people, if I don't move now, I can still do something in Chengde, and once I go out, I will become a burden." When you're settled, it's not too late for us to get there. β
Shen Xuemin suddenly said: "Old man, I'm going to follow my senior sister over, what should you do?" β
"My wife is out, can I not follow?" Old Man Wan said with a smile: "Besides, if you haven't been to a place before, you may be able to find good herbs, and my home remedies will be more perfect, why not!" β
"Lao Sheng has already got married, so he will stay in the Chengde base camp, and I want to participate in the expeditionary force." Qin Yuefang still looked cold, and there was no room for compromise when she spoke: "Xinlan and Lamei are still too young after all, without me, just one Yang Erya, the security department is only afraid that it will not work well." β
"Alright then, let's go our separate ways." Bai Shujie nodded: "Qin Yuefang, Yang Erya, the people who have been reviewed by the Security Bureau, do your best to complete the institutions of various departments, and this can be directly contacted by Gan Tong." Zhao Jinxi was in charge of the formation and training of the troops, and I began to plan the tactical guidelines and action steps. β
"I applied to join the expeditionary force and preside over the work of the political department." Zhao Yiman saw that there was a meaning to disband, so he hurriedly said: "Although I have a family, I also have a son. But I've always been working independently outside and this aspect has not been affected. β
"Play the piano!" Bai Shujie vetoed: "You are in Chengde, on the one hand, you are familiar with the working environment, and on the other hand, you are to take care of your body." If you want to work, every job in the future is extremely difficult. If you don't have a good body, you will have more than enough heart and not enough strength. That's it, no need to argue! β
"You're eccentric!" Zhao Yiman said loudly: "I have heard that Zhang Yushu's body is congenitally deficient, and he has been tortured in the enemy's prison for more than a year. Why was she able to go with the team, but not when she came to me? β
"There is no comparison between the two of you at all!" Bai Shujie did not compromise: "Zhang Yushu was mainly mentally tortured, but you were mentally and physically. A double torture on the body. Moreover, you are devastated all over your body, and if you don't have a stable environment for long-term rehabilitation, you will definitely not work! β
"Besides, you are a top student of the Whampoa Military Academy, and you are a good hand both in politics and military. After we left, Chengde needs all-rounders like you to grasp the overall situation and coordinate. Dangerous places can only prove your bravery, and your real value should be in a relatively stable environment, and you should ponder the regularization, systematization, and scientific construction of the troops! β
Zhao Yiman was still unconvinced: "I want to ask the central government for instructions, you can't let a person like you have the final say!" β
"Just ask for advice, and I promise the result will be the same as I said." Bai Shujie smiled slightly: "Chairman Mao is a great strategist, and he has always had a long-term vision. Although fighting a war is important, it is the issue of construction that is even more difficult. Economic construction, army building, and national defense construction all require a large number of specialized personnel. β
"To put people like you in the trenches is irresponsible for the future development of the country! In the five years since the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Government of Rehe Province, great achievements have been made in all aspects of work. But we should see that there are still many shortcomings. Was your task easy? I see just the opposite! β
"Summing up a set of experiences and improving a set of systems, I believe you know the difficulties and hardships. Because of your loyalty to the party, to the country and to the nation, people have understood. So, you don't have to go to the front trenches to prove yourself, but to prove that you can do better in other areas than before! β
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
