"Chairman, please say something. It has been several days. I have been watching the fighting in North China slowly calm down. I am getting more and more anxious, but you have not made any movement.
Ah..." Seeing the smiling but still silent chairman in front of him, the commander-in-chief continued to ask.
"Boss, although several people in our *** bureau have already formed a unified opinion on the plan to enter the Northeast. However, it is not as easy as we thought to successfully enter the Northeast. Enlai just happened to come over and let us
Enlai, let me tell you, the specific reason why we did not hold a meeting of the *** Bureau to decide on the *** division to send troops to the Northeast..." Looking at the eager commander-in-chief, and seeing Vice Chairman Zhou rushing over,
The chairman said with a smile...
"Well, the chairman said, let me ask you the specific reason. If you don't tell me the reason today and let me know the specific reason, I will not leave the chairman..." Faced with the chairman's answer
, the commander-in-chief seemed to have lost his temper, and sat angrily on a stool in the office, and said with an unhappy expression to Vice Chairman Zhou who hurried over.
Looking at the commander-in-chief who had no good expression in front of him, he looked at the chairman who was sitting in front of him doing his work with a smile on his face. Vice Chairman Zhou did not show any displeasure on his face. He poured another cup of tea.
After placing it on the table next to the commander-in-chief, he sat next to him and said: "Boss, you can't blame the chairman for this problem. The reason why we have delayed convening a meeting of the *** Bureau to make the final decision to send troops to Northeast China.
It’s because, after the *** division left Shanxi, there are still two aftermaths, and no specific solutions have been figured out yet. Before the *** division comes up with specific solutions, the *** division can’t do anything at all..."
"What's the matter? It's so difficult, and it's taken so long that I haven't come up with a specific solution. Enlai, why don't you try to get along with me...?" When it comes to business, the Commander-in-Chief seems to have immediately forgotten what he just said.
Feeling unhappy in his heart, he immediately frowned and asked Vice Chairman Zhou in front of him eagerly.
"Enlai, it just so happens that the three of us are here today. Let's talk about these two problems. The three of us will have a good exchange of opinions and try to come up with a proper solution. As long as these two problems are solved, we will immediately
Can we convene an enlarged meeting of the Communist Party Bureau to decide on the specific plan and time to send troops to Northeast China..." The chairman stopped what he was doing and said to the two people sitting in front of him.
"Boss, the situation is like this. The first question is, if the *** Division goes to the Northeast, the main force of the *** Division and the three comrades Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan, and Li Qing will definitely go to the Northeast with the army. And when the time comes,
Although Liu Hua will leave a lot of local troops to take charge of the specific defense issues of the Shanxi Military Region. However, we cannot leave the three vacant positions of the Party, Government and Army of the Shanxi Military Region vacant forever. Someone must take up their positions. Otherwise, someone must fill them.
, no matter from which aspect, it will definitely have a very adverse impact on the development of Shanxi Province." Seeing the commander-in-chief listening to his words quietly and slowly falling into deep thought, Vice Chairman Zhou continued
.
"There is a second question, which is the identity of Liu Hua. Now, the division commanders and political commissars of several main divisions of the Eighth Route Army are already members of the Central Committee or alternate members. Even Comrade Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar of the *** Division, is also an alternate member of the Central Committee.
, will become a formal member of the Central Committee after the next Congress. Comrade Liu Hua, as the commander of the *** Division and the commander of the military region directly under the Central Committee. As the commander of the most elite unit of our Eighth Route Army, he is the commander of the company.
Neither are the alternate members of the Central Committee. What's more important is that this time the *** division marches into the Northeast, to a certain extent, it will be completely separated from the support of the central government, and together with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, we must develop the ***
Give Liu Hua a certain degree of autonomy. To achieve this goal and prevent other comrades from gossiping, we must increase Comrade Liu Hua's voice in the central government and his status within the party." Vice Chairman Zhou said.
"Chairman, Enlai, regarding your first question, I am only concerned about the military issue, so I can't think of a solution for the time being. But for the second question, I will tell you my thoughts. This Liu Hua is
It slowly came into our sight from the Battle of Xiangjiang River. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for Liu Hua’s appearance, our Red Army would have suffered much greater losses in the Battle of Xiangjiang River... In terms of prestige, Liu Hua cannot compare to any of us.
However, in terms of military performance, I can say that Liu Hua’s military performance, whether during the Long March or in the current Anti-Japanese War, is definitely above all the commanders in our Eighth Route Army. Therefore, improving Liu Hua’s military performance
I support our position within the party with both hands..." the commander-in-chief said affirmatively...
"Well, my thoughts are similar to those of the boss. Liu Hua's record is placed there. At the same time, his loyalty to our party is also placed there. So, no matter from which aspect, improving his status in our party,
It is also necessary. My idea is this. In view of the current good situation in North China, all senior commanders of our Eighth Route Army will be summoned to Yan'an to convene an enlarged meeting of the Communist Party Bureau. At the meeting, Comrade Liu Hua will be nominated as the central commander.
At the next meeting, the alternate member will be removed from the word alternate and elected as a member of the Central Committee. In addition, in order to increase his voice in the Central Committee, Comrade Liu Hua will successfully preside over the Northeastern region on behalf of the Central Committee of our Party.
In view of the situation, I also propose to nominate Comrade Liu Hua as an alternate member of the Central Political Bureau. However, whether this nomination can be passed depends on Liu Hua's prestige and connections in our army..." The chairman took a deep breath.
After smoking cigarettes, he said to the two people...
"What? Alternate member of the Central Political Bureau. Oh my god, if this nomination is really approved, Liu Hua will suddenly go from a general to a high-level member of the Central Committee... ***, you still have this idea?
I really dare to bring it up, I really don’t know what this guy Liu Hua has that makes you so precious..." The commander-in-chief was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Boss, it's not that I like Liu Hua, but that we all like this Liu Hua. Compared with us, it can be said that Comrade Liu Hua is the youngest general in our entire ***. Looking at
Looking at the Shanxi Military Region he runs and the anti-Japanese frictions, we can see that this Liu Hua is not only an excellent commander, but also an excellent communist. At the same time, he is very good at governance.
Our Eighth Route Army has only a handful of local capabilities... Therefore, for such a diverse young man, we should focus on training him..." the chairman explained thoughtfully...
"I understand, it turns out that you two are cultivating Liu Hua as ***'s future ***. Chairman, Enlai, you two can rest assured. I also know that no matter from which aspect, Liu Hua's
His abilities are few among us *** people. Coupled with his age, his development prospects are absolutely immeasurable. Therefore, I will definitely support your opinions.*** Bureau
Among the several standing committee members, the three of us have already received three votes. If nothing else happens, Comrade Zhang Wentian and Comrade Ren Bishi will also agree with our opinions. Therefore, the convening of the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau must be inevitable.
….” The commander-in-chief replied thoughtfully.
One day later, the *** Bureau meeting was convened without any surprises under the joint proposal of the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief. In the end, with an overwhelming majority of votes in favor, the Chairman's proposal was agreed to: half
Months later, an enlarged meeting of the Communist Party Bureau was held in Yan'an to discuss the future development direction after the Eighth Route Army occupied North China. At the same time, the dual nomination of Comrade Liu Hua as an alternate member of the Central Committee and an alternate member of the Communist Party Bureau was discussed.
Of course, there is another very important thing, which is to discuss the best time for the Central Strategic Forces and the *** Division to send troops to the Northeast...
With the smooth convening of the Communist Party Bureau meeting, telegrams were quickly sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the heads of several main divisions at all levels in the name of the Communist Party. The contents of the telegrams were very simple.
That is to ask all Central Committee members to put down their work as much as possible and rush to Yan'an half a month later to attend an enlarged meeting of the Communist Party Bureau to discuss the next development direction and the next steps after the Eighth Route Army occupied North China.
Strategic objectives…
Similarly, the telecommunications room of the Shanxi Military Region Headquarters also received two telegrams from the central government at the first time. One was for political commissar Luo Ronghuan, and the other was for Commander Liu Hua... However, the contents of the two telegrams
, but they are not nearly the same. After all, at this moment, Liu Hua has almost no position in the party except the commander of the *** division and the commander of the military region. And political commissar Luo Ronghuan has become a member of the Central Committee...
"Commander, if nothing else happens, in addition to discussing the future development direction of our Eighth Route Army, this enlarged meeting of the Communist Party of China must have something to do with you..." After reading the two telegrams with different contents, political commissar Luo Ronghuan,
Facing the confused commander in front of him, he said with a smile...
"About me, political commissar, please don't joke with me. You must know that I am not even an alternate member of the Central Committee in the party. More importantly, my qualifications are comparable to those of the division commanders and political commissars of several other main divisions.
The ratio is really too low. I feel very honored to be able to invite me to participate in the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau. How could things about me be discussed?" Liu Hua said with a smile. However, in his heart,
, was shocked by the political commissar's words...
"Commander, it is because you do not have any position in the party now that I am so sure that there will be an issue about you at this *** Bureau meeting." The political commissar smiled and said with certainty.
"Why?" Seeing the confident political commissar in front of him, Liu Hua knew in his heart that there should be questions about him in this *** Bureau meeting. However, he still couldn't restrain his doubts and blurted out asked.
"Haha, the reason is very simple. Commander, think about it carefully. Among the division commanders and political commissars of the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, who are not members of the Central Committee or alternate members? What's more, they are already members of the Central Committee. You are an alternate member of the *** Bureau. And our *** Division, as the most powerful unit in the entire Eighth Route Army, as the division commander, you are not even an alternate member of the Central Committee. This is obviously unjustifiable. I think Chairman and others have already This was taken into consideration... Therefore, in addition to studying the future development direction of our army, the topic of this enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau is about you..." the political commissar analyzed with certainty...
Hearing this, Liu Hua suddenly understood a lot. At the same time, his expectations for this meeting also increased a lot. After all, at this moment, he is only 25 years old. If he becomes an alternate member of the Central Committee now, If so, at the Seventh Communist Party Congress a few years later, he will be directly promoted to a member of the Central Committee. And by that time, he will become a national leader...according to his age, when the country is liberated, As long as there are no major problems, there will be no problems if he is nominated as an alternate member of the *** Bureau... Thinking of this, Liu Hua's heart suddenly boiled...
However, what Liu Hua didn't expect was that only after he entered the venue of the enlarged meeting of the Communist Party of China, he would truly know that at this meeting, what awaited him was not only the nomination of an alternate member of the Central Committee, but also the ** Nomination of alternate members of the * Bureau. Of course, whether the nomination can be formally approved depends on your influence in the minds of leaders at all levels within the party.
"Commander, Commander...What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak..." Seeing the commander in front of him, he immediately became stunned because of his explanation. At the same time, the commander's expression changed in less than a minute. It is also constantly changing. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan quickly reminded...
"Ah, political commissar, it's okay. I was just thinking about something, and I was a little too excited..." Liu Hua, who was pulled back from the shock and surprise by the political commissar, saw the political commissar in front of him looking at him with a strange look, and his face immediately changed. He turned red and replied sheepishly...
"Haha, Commander, it's normal to be happy and excited. Think about it, how old are you now, and you will be named an alternate member of the Central Committee. If my guess is correct, by then, you must be a member of the Central Committee and an alternate. You are the youngest member of the committee. According to your current development momentum, it is not impossible to take charge of the Central Committee in the future. It is very normal to feel excited..." Seeing the embarrassed commander Liu Hua, The political commissar said with a smile...
"Political Commissar, please stop talking. After all, this matter is still unknown. If it spreads out like this, it will not be good for anyone..." Liu Hua said with an embarrassed look. However, in his heart, Among them, I very much agree with what the political commissar just said...
"Okay, the commander is right, let's not say any more. Let's get down to business. According to the order of the Central Committee, the two of us must rush to the Central Station three days in advance before the meeting to report to the Party Central Committee.
, the specific combat history and results of the Battle of Pingjin. Including the marching time along the way, this time, we have to leave for half a month. And the preparation time left for us is less than a week.
...." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said.
"Well, compared to before, half a month is already short enough. After all, the entire North China region is basically occupied by our Eighth Route Army. From Taiyuan to Yan'an, there is no need to go through the little devils'** in between.
If you ride a fast horse, you can arrive at the * line in up to five days. In the past, if you didn't have a month, it would have been absolutely impossible to complete..." Liu Hua nodded, smiling.
Nodding and saying...
"That's right. Judging from the current situation, there will be absolutely no problem in reaching Yan'an in five days. However, Commander, I have another idea. This time we go to Yan'an, instead of riding horses, we will go there by car. By the way, we will go there by car.
A large amount of property seized in the Pingjin area was partly handed over to the central government. After all, the central government has had no other income since the end of the last Taiyuan battle... When the time comes, we will support as much as we can..." Political Commissar
Luo Ronghuan suggested...
"This is a good suggestion. After the Battle of Peking and Tianjin, the automobile transport brigade of the headquarters' logistics department has reached a scale of more than 200 vehicles. This time, we not only have to send a large amount of finance to the central government, but also some
Weapons and supplies urgently needed by the central government should be improved and the equipment and logistics of the Central Guard Force should be improved..." Liu Hua nodded in agreement...
"Okay, I completely agree with you. Before the Anti-Japanese War, we lived in Yan'an for a long time. The hardships in Yan'an are still vivid in my mind. Now that our conditions have improved, we must not forget the hardships in Yan'an.
Party Central Committee, forget Chairman Mao...Commander, leave this task to me. When the time comes, I guarantee that Chairman Mao and others will be satisfied. As for the safety issues along the way, what I mean is to deploy a hundred trucks from the logistics department and dispatch
Two air defense regiments, guard brigades, and cavalry brigades are responsible for escorting along the way..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan's eyes lit up and he agreed without any hesitation.
"Yes, but I suggest that a regiment be allocated from the engineering brigade. After all, the road conditions along the way are not as good as those in Shanxi. It is necessary to build bridges and pave roads along the way..." Liu Hua continued.
"Then we will each perform our duties and be responsible for preparing the great force for you to send to the Party Central Committee. As for me, I will seize the time these days to complete the short work handover issue with the chief of staff. At the same time, make arrangements for the half of the time we left.
During the month, the specific affairs of the military division..." Liu Hua nodded and ordered with a sure look on his face...
