Facing Zhang Guotao's invitation, Liu Hua smiled and handed Zhang Guotao's letter to political commissar Guan Xiangying. After reading the letter, the political commissar frowned.
"Regiment Commander, Chairman Zhang must have bad intentions when he invites you to dinner tonight. I think you should not go! Just say that you are sick and cannot attend the banquet." The political commissar suggested.
"Haha, political commissar, don't worry, Zhang Guotao's trick will definitely not succeed, and I want Zhang Guotao to give something to our Seventh Army tonight." Liu Hua looked at the nervous political commissar with a smile and said.
What a joke, as a postgraduate student of the National Defense University in later generations, he knew very well the habits and tricks of Zhang Guotao in history. How could he be deceived by Zhang Guotao? Liu Hua was full of confidence in going to the banquet in the evening.
In the evening, Liu Hua led the guards to Zhang Guotao's residence. From a distance, he saw the historical Zhang Guotao coming out, followed by the political commissar of the Fourth Front Army Chen Changhao and the commander-in-chief Comrade Xu Xiangqian. Liu Hua quickly dismounted. After a formal courtesy, he still
It is necessary. "Report to Chairman Zhang, Commander-in-Chief Xu, Political Commissar Chen, and Commander Liu Hua of the Seventh Army Corps are ordered to come and report." After saying that, he stepped forward and saluted the three of them with a solemn military salute.
"Commander Liu, don't be so polite. We are all your comrades and brothers, don't be so outspoken." Zhang Guotao first spoke and looked at Liu Hua with a smile.
"Comrade Liu Hua, you are the hero of our Red Army. I am very happy to meet you. If you have time in the future, you must tell me about your situation by the Xiangjiang River and the development of the army in the future. I never expected that you are so young.
But it brought out such a strong team." Commander Xu said.
"Report to Commander Xu, my tactics are all based on Chairman Mao's tactics. There is nothing to say. You know, I have admired you for a long time!" Liu Hua said quickly, using the rest of his eyes at the same time.
Guang looked at Zhang Guotao next to him. When Liu Hua mentioned Chairman Mao, his color changed visibly. Liu Hua said to Zhang Guotao calmly,
"I wonder what task Chairman Zhang has given me today. Liu Hua will definitely complete it."
"Haha, we don't have any tasks. We just want a few of us to get to know our heroes of the Red Army." Zhang Guotao immediately covered up the unhappy expression on his face and said with a smile.
The dinner was very rich, for the current Red Army. After the meal, Commander-in-Chief Xu and Political Commissar Chen left one after another. Looking at the two people leaving, Liu Hua secretly thought that what was supposed to come had come.
"Comrade Liu Hua, I wonder what you think about the Central Red Army going north to fight against Japan?" Liu Hua couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Guotao was really different. Liu Hua thought for a while and said.
"Reporting to Chairman Zhang, I was only a squad leader during the Long March. Later, because of the heavy casualties among the army cadres, I was promoted very quickly. This is also the trust that the leaders had in me. Since we left the Xiangjiang River, it has basically been broken.
The relationship with the central government, the decision of the central government and why it was made are not something that I, a new cadre, can discuss, but I am a member of the Communist Party, and I will do whatever is asked of me, and will not ask the Communist Party to retreat." Liu
After Hua finished speaking, he looked seriously at Zhang Guotao, who was sitting opposite.
Liu Hua's answer was very insightful. He neither came to the central government nor objected. Zhang Guotao, who wanted to know Liu Hua's thoughts, fell into deep thought.
"Haha, Comrade Liu Hua, you are being humble. You know, if it hadn't been for you, maybe the Central Red Army would have..." Zhang Guotao paused for a while, "Comrade Liu Hua, your contribution is obvious to all of us."
…
In this way, the two of them kept fighting. However, Liu Hua, relying on his understanding of Zhang Guotao, kept giving vague answers to Zhang Guotao's questions, which made Zhang Guotao depressed, but unable to get angry.
"Comrade Liu Hua, I wonder what the current situation of the Seventh Army is like?" Zhang Guotao looked expectantly at Liu Hua who was drinking tea. At the same time, Liu Hua was also stopped by these words. The opportunity came. Liu Hua secretly
think.
"Report to Chairman Zhang, since the proportion of old Red Army soldiers in the Seventh Army is very small, many soldiers are adapted from battlefield prisoners, and sometimes they even show fear of running away during the battle." Liu Hua said exaggeratedly.
"Well, it seems that you must strengthen the work of publishing thoughts in the army!" Zhang Guotao didn't know that he had fallen into Liu Hua's plan.
"Yes, Chairman Zhang, I will definitely do it. Chairman Zhang, can you help our Seventh Legion!" Liu Hua took advantage of the opportunity and asked quickly.
"Comrade Liu Hua, if you have any difficulties, just ask. If I can tie up someone who can help, I will definitely help." Zhang Guotao's mind also came to life. Now I will give you some sweet dates to eat, but you don't want to repay me in the future. Zhang Guotao thought to himself.
But he didn't know that for Liu Hua, he was like a meat bun beating a dog... He would never come back.
"Chairman Zhang, I heard that the Fourth Front Army has strong strength and a large proportion of old Red Army soldiers. Many soldiers have gone through several tough battles. Each of them has demonstrated strong combat effectiveness and rich ideological and work experience. However, the Seventh Army Corps lacks this.
Soldiers and cadres, I would like to ask Zhang Zhuzhu to help our Seventh Army Corps. I should replace more than a hundred cadres. I think if the Seventh Army Corps adds cadres supported by the Fourth Front Army, its future combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced." Liu Hua
He said quickly.
"This... this... Comrade Liu Hua, in fact, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army does not..." At this time, Zhang Guotao suddenly thought of some cadres who were imprisoned by him for disobeying him. There were exactly 150 people. Why not transfer these people?
, Anyway, these people cannot be killed. If they are placed in the Fourth Front Army, they will also affect other cadres and soldiers. Throw them to Liu Hua. This will save a lot of things. At the same time, Liu Hua will owe him a favor. I want to play with these
, Zhang Guotao said quickly. "Comrade Liu Hua, I will transfer 150 cadres from the Fourth Front Army to the Seventh Army Corps. You must make good use of these cadres to demonstrate their quality and combat effectiveness." Zhang Guotao said with a high voice.
Liu Hua quickly seized the opportunity and said: "Thank you, Chairman Zhang. If Chairman Zhang has anything to do in the future, just ask him. As long as Liu Hua can help, he will definitely help." Liu Hua gave Zhang Guotao an empty talk.
But Zhang Guotao didn't think so. What he thought was that Liu Hua had been taken over by him.
…
Slowly, the two of them chatted about meaningless topics for more than ten minutes. After both of them got the results they were satisfied with (Liu Hua got 150 cadres, Zhang Guotao got Liu Hua's empty talk) Zhang Guotao ordered his staff
He brought over the list of cadres to be transferred to Liu Hua and told Liu Hua that these cadres would report to the headquarters of the Seventh Army tomorrow morning.
In this way, Liu Hua returned to the headquarters of the Seventh Army with a smile on his face with a list of 150 cadres. When he rushed back to the headquarters, he saw several familiar faces waiting for him.
