After talking about the business, Xu Rui asked: "Is Minister Song still not calmed down?"
"No way." Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "These days I have been meeting with the company commanders, platoon leaders and even squad leaders of the main battalions. I met more than a hundred people in two days. Hey, it's really busy.
.”
Facts have proved that Xu Rui's judgment is correct, at least basically correct!
After the veteran, Minister Song then looked for Yang Rui, and then Shi Changqing, Wu Liang, Ding Wenbao, Qin Gang, Ye Ming and Bi Xiancheng and other senior officers from the solitary army camp. However, what disappointed Minister Song was that these solitary army battalions
None of the high-ranking military officers were willing to return to the battle order of the National Army.
Minister Song still refused to give up and turned his attention to lower-level mid-level officers.
Not to mention, there were actually a few officers who were swayed now, but there were only a few of them. Moreover, these swayed mid-level officers just left on their own, but they couldn't take any of their soldiers with them.
Come on, the biggest difference between the Communist Party's army and the Kuomintang's army is here. This is also the fundamental difference between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!
In the Kuomintang army, the phenomenon of personal dependence between officers and soldiers is very serious. Under normal circumstances, the commander can pull away the entire army with just one word.
For example, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army relied on the patriarchal system of personal dependence from the beginning. As long as Feng Yuxiang controlled a few confidants such as Shi Yousan, Han Fuqu, and Song Zheyuan, he almost controlled the entire Northwest Army. But similarly, Commissar Chiang
As soon as Chang bought a few people including Shi Yousan and Han Fuqu, Feng Yuxiang immediately became the polished commander.
But the Communist Party's army is not like this. Starting from Sanwan, the Party branch of the Communist Party's army has been down to the company level. This ensures the Party's absolute leadership over the army. No matter how high the personal prestige is, it is impossible to control the entire army.
Pulled away from the party's camp, for example, Zhang Guotao had unparalleled prestige in the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, but until the end, his plan to establish a separate central committee failed despite his self-respect and support for the troops!
Since the day the Songhu Military Division was officially established, Wang Husheng, the political commissar, immediately established party committees at all levels, battalion instructors of each main battalion, and instructors of subordinate companies, all assigned in place, and even assigned to the party group at the platoon level.
Team leader, because the army establishment of Songhu Military Division is to strengthen the scale, the platoon level is the company level.
Therefore, although there were a few company commanders and platoon commanders who could not withstand the temptation of Minister Song's high-ranking officials and generous salaries and returned to the embrace of the party-state, their attempts to take the troops with them failed without exception! But then again
Come back, these few cases still caused very bad political impact.
So Wang Husheng felt that he could no longer sit idly by and ignore it.
Wang Husheng added: "Old Xu, I also know that we must trust our comrades and have full confidence in their party spirit, but it is not a problem to let Minister Song continue to act like this, don't you think?"
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded and said, "We have endured these days, and we have done our best."
After a slight pause, Xu Rui said again: "Old Wang, you will interview Minister Song now. Tell him clearly that Shanghai is now the territory of our Communist Party, and no more Kuomintang government is allowed here, so he
Mayor of Shanghai, let’s go back to where we came from. If he doesn’t leave, don’t blame us for forcibly deporting him.”
"Okay, I'll look for him later." Wang Husheng nodded and asked, "Where are those cadres? How to deal with them?"
Xu Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "As for those cadres, forget it. Everyone has their own ambitions. As long as they don't take refuge with the Japanese and become traitors, how can they not resist the Japanese and fight against the Japanese?"
"Okay." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
After saying that, Wang Husheng turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he reached the door, Xu Rui stopped him again.
Xu Rui stopped Wang Husheng and said: "Old Wang, there is one more matter. It is a rare opportunity for Chairman Chiang to ask for help from the Langya Brigade, so I might as well solve it as well."
Wang Husheng asked in surprise: "Is there anything else?"
"It's a matter of military reunification." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Telegram to Chairman Chiang and ask him to evacuate all military reunification personnel from the Shanghai area immediately. No one is allowed to stay! Send a telegram to Dai Li and ask him not to follow us.
Don't take any chances, let alone take any chances. If they don't do what they are asked to do, it will not look good when we do it for them."
The Japanese suffered heavy losses in the Second Battle of Songhu and will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress them again.
In other words, the Third Battle of Songhu is already imminent, and Xu Rui does not want to leave a time bomb around him at this time. Although the military commander may not be able to cause sabotage, no one can say for sure that the military commander will not
To cause damage, this kind of uncertain factors should be eliminated as much as possible.
Wang Husheng said: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
(Dividing line)
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
Since the head of the Fifth War Zone was beheaded, Chairman Chiang has been officially "residentially restricted". His area of activity has been restricted to his official residence, and he is not even allowed to go to the office building of the headquarters.
The Guard Brigade also imposed a high degree of martial law on the area around the official residence.
The chief of guards, Wang Shihe, led the most elite team of guards, following Chairman Chiang every step of the way. Even when Chairman Chiang went to the toilet, two guards had to squat next to him. Chairman Chiang was naturally very concerned about this.
I'm unhappy, but this is the highest decision of the headquarters, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek cannot overturn it personally.
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could no longer go to the headquarters building, so he had to ask his staff to report to his official residence.
At this moment, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were in Chairman Chiang's study, reporting to Chairman Chiang on the latest situation of the Suizao battle. Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau, was also present.
Bai Chongxi said: "In short, there are no major changes in the situation of Suizao Battle."
"Okay, as long as there are no accidents." Chairman Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then warned, "Also, don't just focus on me. Let the commanders in each theater below also be more vigilant, and don't do it again.
Following the same mistake as the Fifth War Zone, Li Delin was lucky this time, so he escaped a disaster. Other war zone commanders may not have such good luck."
Chen Cheng responded: "Don't worry, commissioner, we have called the headquarters of each theater commander to remind them to be on guard."
After a pause, Chen Cheng said again: "But the entrustment and humble position are still the same. There has always been a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Just reacting like this passively is not a long-term solution, so we should try our best.
Transferred Battalion Commander Liang Gang's Langya Brigade to strengthen the defense of the official residence.
Secondly, Battalion Commander Liang Gang can also be asked to help the party-state train more special forces.
In the future, these special forces will not only be responsible for the security work of the commanders of various theaters, but they can also behead the Japanese and high-level officials of the Wang Puppet Government. Think about it, if all the members of the military hurricane team were like Langya.
special forces, their lethality and deterrence are extraordinary!"
Chairman Chiang nodded lightly and asked, "Has the New Fourth Army responded?"
Chen Cheng was about to say not yet, but he saw an accompanying staff officer knocking on the door and walking in, handing over a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Chen Cheng's face immediately became a little embarrassed, and he said to Chairman Chiang: "Committee, the New Fourth Army has responded."
"Response?" Chairman Jiang asked with a look of expectation on his face, "What did the New Fourth Army say? Do you agree to second the Wolf Fang to us?"
Chen Cheng replied: "I agree, but they still have conditions."
"Conditions? They really know how to reach out when they find the time." Chairman Jiang frowned and asked, "Tell me, what kind of conditions did they put forward? If it is not too harsh, you might as well agree to them. After all, below
The security of each theater commander's department is no small matter, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes."
Chairman Chiang still has something to say that he has no nerve to say. His safety is not a trivial matter!
Chen Cheng agreed and said: "Their conditions mainly include three aspects. First, the Ministry of General Affairs' arrears to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army's funds must be paid in full; second, all the municipal government and related staff sent to Shanghai must be withdrawn;
Third, all personnel under military command in the Shanghai District must evacuate within three days!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Li jumped up before Chairman Chiang could do anything.
"That's too much!" Dai Li jumped up and shouted, "Xu Rui's too much! Shanghai belongs to him? If he says to withdraw, then our military commanders in the Shanghai area have to withdraw? That's unreasonable!"
Bai Chongxi said: "Isn't Shanghai now owned by the Communist Party?"
Hearing this, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Dai Li all looked a little unhappy. Bai Chongxi's words were unpleasant, but they were true. Shanghai is indeed the territory of the Communist Party, and the Communist Party was liberated from the Japanese.
The Kuomintang wants to take over Shanghai from the hands of the Communist Party. It is really ugly to eat the elephant.
But Bai Chongxi dared to say this, and few of them dared to say it.
The eyes of several staff members turned to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, waiting for Chairman Chiang to make a decision.
Chairman Chiang snorted and said: "With respect, I promise them that all the funds owed to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army over the years will be paid in one lump sum, but only in legal currency! All personnel from the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai District of the Military Command will also be paid.
Evacuate and ask Ziwen to immediately transfer to Hong Kong and head to the United States to negotiate assistance with the U.S. government."
"Okay." He Yingqin readily agreed. Anyway, the exchange rate of legal currency has been liberalized, and the millions of legal currency funds owed to the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army were printed out in one night. However, they could not be obtained from the Communist Party.
It was a pity for He Yingqin to take back the governance power of Shanghai. Shanghai's tax revenue was a huge sum of money!
Dai Li's eyes kept moving, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
