Chapter Five Hundred and Five Elite Soldiers and Streamlined Administration
Chapter 505: Better troops and simpler administration
"That's well said. Every reason Liu Hua gave in his notice is almost hitting the nail on the head for our current army. Do you division commanders have any other suggestions?" In response to Liu Hua's answer, Chairman
He nodded with deep understanding. At the same time, his impression of Liu Hua in his mind was once again improved. Then, he continued to ask the other division commanders and political commissars in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Chairman of the report, I believe that our current army has more than doubled its strength due to uncontrolled expansion. However, its combat effectiveness is not as good as before the expansion. Therefore, I think that our current military strength has more than doubled.
It is time for our army to streamline its troops and streamline its administration. Speaking of which, although our army has nearly one million troops, the ones with real combat effectiveness are the hundreds of thousands of troops formed half a year ago. As for the remaining troops, although they are labeled as the main force
, let a large number of common people in the base area support them, but the combat effectiveness of the troops is very weak. It is better to turn them into local militia troops and train them while producing. In this way, not only can troops be trained, but more importantly, the troops can be trained
The base area will not cause any burden, but can also make a lot of contributions. Therefore, I completely agree with Commander Liu Hua's opinion. If the central government agrees with this opinion, our 115th Division will be the first to take the initiative to disarmament. After the 200,000-strong army
During the war, a big competition was held, and in the end only a field force of 100,000 people was retained. All the best weapons in the entire military region were equipped to this 100,000-strong army to form an army that was both in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment.
No less than the troops of the main field division of the Japanese army..." Mr. He was the first to say...
"Chairman, I completely agree with the suggestions of Comrade Liu Hua and He Huzhu to carry out a major reduction in our current one-million-strong army to train more elite troops and strengthen them. In addition, I have another idea. Not only do we
We must carry out large-scale disarmament in the army and persuade those soldiers who have no combat effectiveness. We must conduct a major reduction in all our logistics departments and base government departments. Now the entire North China region has basically been occupied by our Eighth Route Army. We
The full authority can unify and integrate the entire North China region and carry out regional management. All redundant and overlapping departments will be cut to reduce the financial pressure on governments at all levels in the base areas and reduce the burden on the people. Similarly, all these redundant personnel will be
After enriching the local area, to a certain extent, it can also increase the local labor force and promote local development..." Mr. Liu Bocheng nodded and spoke inferences about what he was thinking...
"Chairman, everyone's opinions are my opinions. I completely agree with the suggestions of the three division commanders to streamline the entire army and train a truly elite force. At the same time, establish a streamlined and practical base in the entire North China region.
Government agencies, let the people in the base area be satisfied, rest assured, and truly support the leadership of our Communist Party..." Chen Guang, commander of the 115th Division, finally stood up and said...
"Well, from the conversation you just had, I also discovered many problems in our government agencies and the military. Take the Shaanxi local government directly under the central government. There are many government departments. From a certain direction, they are all
It's not necessary. However, the staff of these departments are still supported by the people in the base areas, which to a large extent increases the burden on the people in the base areas. This is the case with the central government, not to mention the local base area governments. You raised it
This suggestion is very good. Half an hour later, I will put forward this suggestion at the meeting of several members of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China. I believe that several other members of the Standing Committee will definitely agree with this opinion. Here
, I want to thank a few of you, especially Comrade Liu Hua..." The chairman nodded and said with a smile on his face.
"Chairman, it is our obligation as a Communist Party member to make suggestions for the future of our ***, so these are what we should do..." Faced with the chairman's praise, Liu Hua couldn't help but
He said politely.
"Well, that's well said. If every Communist Party member in our party has the same thoughts as you, and stops scheming and puts his mind on the future of our party. I believe that our party will be better in the future.
There will definitely be a big leap forward in the development. In this way, the time is almost up. You teachers and commanders should also share your thoughts with each other. I will immediately go to the other central leaders to hold a meeting to discuss
Here's a suggestion you just made..." As he spoke, the chairman took a book full of notes and walked towards a side door of the auditorium podium with a smile on his face...
In less than a few minutes, several leaders who were discussing with other delegates in the auditorium, led by several guards, quickly left the auditorium and walked towards the room where the chairman was...
"Old guys, I'm embarrassed to have called you here in such a hurry. Let me tell you, our heroic division commander Comrade Liu Hua has given us old guys another big problem regarding the future development of the Eighth Route Army in North China.
Okay. Just now Comrade Liu Hua and three other division commanders put forward a very different suggestion to us. I called you here because I just want to listen to your suggestions. It is best for us to
Form a unified opinion, and then put the entire resolution for discussion at the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau in the afternoon..." The chairman said when he saw several members of the Standing Committee sitting in front of him with puzzled expressions.
"Well, Chairman, what kind of suggestion is it? It actually requires us old guys to come to a consensus first... Chairman, just say it and let us old guys also have a good eye-opening..." Mr.
The commander said with a smile on his face...
"Comrade Liu Hua's opinions can be summed up in just four words, which is to streamline the troops and streamline administration. We require our Eighth Route Army troops operating in North China not to blindly expand the troops in the face of such a great situation. This will not only affect the troops
Similarly, because a large number of young and middle-aged people join our Eighth Route Army, and because of the lack of labor force in the base area, it will also have a very big impact on the future development of the base area... So..." the chairman said with a smile.
"Enlai, here are some of you guys. This is the notebook I just recorded the reasons that the division commanders came up with during the conversation with the four division commanders and the political commissar. If you circulate it to each other, you will know that the troops and the administration are streamlined.
The specific meaning, as well as the specific reason why Comrade Liu Hua proposed this suggestion. After reading it, everyone also talks about what they think..." The chairman said with a smile, and at the same time, he handed the meeting minutes he copied to Deputy Zhou next to him.
In the hands of the Chairman…
Immediately, the few minutes of the meeting began to be circulated in the hands of several leaders. In less than a few minutes, almost everyone understood the specific meaning of lean troops and streamlined administration. However, after reading the minutes of the meeting, every member of the Standing Committee fell silent.
, fell into thinking. After all, if such a resolution is issued to the troops, it will definitely be a very big blow to the commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army who currently have high morale...
"Old fellows, what do you think of Liu Hua's suggestion? Let me tell you what you think! In this way, I will tell you my own thoughts first. In general, the reasons given by Comrade Liu Hua and several other comrades are
It moved me. Therefore, I completely agree with this suggestion to streamline the entire army and vigorously develop our base areas..." the chairman said with a smile...
"Let me tell you what I think. I think the summaries of Comrade Liu Hua and several other division commanders are very to the point... Generally speaking, these four words, better troops and simpler administration, summarize the rapid development of our Eighth Route Army and various base areas.
Various disadvantages have arisen during the process. Let me first state that Liu Hua’s suggestion, no matter from which aspect, is of great benefit to our rapidly developing Eighth Route Army. Therefore,
I raise my hands in agreement with this proposal. We should implement leaner troops and simpler administration for the entire army and all base areas, release more productive forces, develop the base areas, and develop North China into the real rear base of our party..." Vice Chairman Zhou broke the silence in the entire conference room.
Jing Jing first spoke out what was in his heart.
"Comrades, although this suggestion has turned the one million troops in our hands into half a million troops, it is difficult for me to accept it. However, I have to say that several reasons Liu Hua said moved me.
.If we can really concentrate on building an army of 500,000 that has always had the same combat effectiveness as the Japanese army, I believe that the combat effectiveness of these 500,000 troops will definitely be no less than that of the 1 million army. More importantly, there are less than 500,000 troops.
With a field force of 100,000 troops, the burden on the people in the base area will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I also agree with this suggestion and promote it throughout the army..." the commander-in-chief said...
Under the leadership of Vice Chairman Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief, in the following time, the remaining members of the Standing Committee each expressed their own suggestions. And these suggestions, without exception, were agreed upon by the entire army.
The party implements the plan to streamline its troops and streamline its administration. In less than ten minutes, a unified opinion was formed on this draft proposal at the *** Bureau meeting. It will be further discussed and carried out at the enlarged meeting that will be held in the afternoon.
A show of hands will be used to vote. Then the final decision will be made and distributed to every base area in the entire army...
After a few hours of lunch break, the enlarged meeting of the *** Bureau continued at two o'clock in the afternoon. At the first moment, Vice Chairman Zhou, who was in charge of speaking, read out the resolution on the podium.
, handed it over to everyone for discussion. As the entire draft proposal was read out word for word by Vice Chairman Zhou, the entire auditorium immediately fell into chaos...
More than a hundred participants showed various expressions after listening to the entire draft proposal. Some participants, after listening to the speeches, had deep sympathy for the current development of our army and immediately
Applaud and use applause to express what you are thinking at this moment.
Some people showed a look of confusion on their faces. They did not understand why the central government announced the reduction of the regular army, which was constantly expanding, and reduced the main force of the army to 500,000 during a period of rapid development of the entire army.
Human orders. After all, this is a huge blow to the morale of the troops.
The remaining participants expressed their refusal on the spot. After all, after the army expanded, their positions and the power held by the audience have also increased to a certain extent. With the reduction of the main force,
I will be beaten back to my original shape and return to my position before the expansion of the army. This makes a large part of the military and political workers feel puzzled and angry. After all, in this society, a large part of the commanders' hearts
They all have the idea of having more troops...
"Comrades, everyone is quiet. I know that everyone here has different opinions on this draft. But what I want to tell you is that the central government passed this resolution after careful consideration.
Now I will announce to you several advantages for the future development of our army that we have summarized at the meeting of the *** Bureau just now. After the troops are streamlined and the administration is streamlined, I will announce to you. After reading it out, everyone will refer to the appeal opinions. If there are any different opinions,
They are speaking one by one..." Looking at the bustling auditorium, Vice Chairman Zhou waved his hand and said loudly...
As the whole auditorium slowly became quiet, Vice Chairman Zhou took out the notebook where the chairman had recorded the conversation and began to read out... Gradually, as one benefit after another was placed in front of everyone, the words that had just been discussed just now were
Some of the officers and men who were puzzled by the resolution immediately showed a look of sudden realization on their faces. At the same time, after having a deep understanding of this resolution, they all felt overwhelmed by the wise decision of the Party Central Committee and the vision for the future of our party.
Points and maneuvers.
As for those participants who were still refusing just now, one benefit after another reached their ears. After a quick analysis in their minds, their tense expressions just now slowly relaxed.
Come down. Gradually, these people slowly let go of their selfish thoughts...
"Comrades, after listening to these reasons, I don't know if you have any other opinions. If there are no opinions, we will vote now..." At this moment, as he finished speaking, the auditorium fell silent.
Vice Chairman Zhou's voice rang out again, breaking the silence in the auditorium and bringing everyone back to reality from their thoughts...
"Pa bang bang..." A burst of warm applause rang out. More than a hundred commanders and soldiers who had reacted from the shock no longer had any doubts in their hearts. They immediately clapped their hands with a smile on their faces and used their warm words
Applause, tell everyone that I support and agree with this resolution...
Hearing the warm applause from the entire auditorium, Vice Chairman Zhou nodded with satisfaction. The final result was no surprise. In the next show of hands vote, except for some commanders and soldiers who abstained directly because they were unable to make a decision. The rest
The delegates who attended the meeting each voted in favor, and not a single person voted against. And the entire resolution was passed easily by everyone in the ***...
"Comrades, since this resolution has been successfully passed by everyone, everyone has also voted in favor of this resolution. Therefore, I hope that in the next year, all departments of the Eighth Route Army will effectively implement this resolution.
It is decided that in the next six months to one year, in addition to necessary combat tasks, all base areas must implement the policy of elite troops and streamlined administration in the shortest possible time, and implement this policy. At that time, the central government will send personnel to various ministries to conduct
During the inspection, I hope everyone will take this resolution seriously and implement it..." After the resolution was passed, Vice Chairman Zhou finally spoke...
In this way, the main task of the Eighth Route Army in North China in the next six months to one year is to implement the policy of elite troops and streamlined administration. Then, vigorously develop the base areas and build the entire North China region into a real rear base for our Eighth Route Army, a place that cannot be broken by the Japanese army and can break through.
An indestructible base area. Only in this way can our Eighth Route Army be in an invincible position in future battles. Only in this way can our party have a base area that truly belongs to us...
After the proposal on the future development strategy of the Eighth Route Army was discussed and approved, more than half of the afternoon meeting had passed. In order to strike while the iron was hot, the entire resolution was discussed at once. In the next hour, five main topics were discussed
One hundred thousand regular field troops, the specific distribution issues among the various units of the entire North China Eighth Route Army...
After everyone's detailed discussions, the four main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, except for the *** division, the other three main divisions must concentrate all the energy of their respective base areas in the next six months, and each of them must develop a large-scale
It is a field force of 100,000 people. As for the remaining 200,000 troops, they are assigned to base areas directly under the jurisdiction of various places...At the same time, each base area must vigorously develop people's livelihood and develop the base area...
As for the *** divisions led by Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, as well as the main forces of the Shanxi Military Region, they were not included in the reorganization. Because, during the enlarged meeting the next day, the *** led by Liu Hua
Each unit of the * division will be reorganized into the Northeast Field Army led by the Communist Party of China. As for the specific tasks of the Northeast Field Army, there is no doubt that it is responsible for marching into the Northeast. In the Northeast, together with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, we will fight against the Japanese.
, grab a new base... Of course, these are all things for later...
