The delegates were all sitting under the stage, with more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at the people on the stage.
Yang Mingzhi stood on the low podium, looking at everyone with piercing eyes. The scene was indeed a bit cold.
As a soldier who had seen many tragic battlefields, Yang Mingzhi was not afraid, but because he had to explain a very important decision today, he was still a little nervous.
He calmed down, coughed twice into the microphone and tried his voice. Following the habit of idiots, he went directly to the topic without any courtesy and announced his proposal.
"Comrades! I have only one important decision, and that is to establish a country! I emphasize again that we are going to establish a country. I have already thought of its name! It will be called the Partisan Soviet Socialist Republic!"
Because it was so important, he emphasized the lengthy full name of the country three times.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience immediately had different opinions. The originally quiet venue suddenly became agitated!
“What is this Partisan Soviet Socialist Republic? Is it not the reconstruction of Belarus?”
“In order to establish a state, it is also necessary to restore the Socialist Republic of Belarus!”
"Can guerrillas also build a country? Is it really unheard of? The leader will never agree!"
"Ivan, maybe the leader will also agree. As long as the commissioner agrees, this country can be established!"
…
Everyone said something to each other, some questioned, some objected, and some agreed. The whispers mixed together became a buzz.
"So I say! His decision is bound to cause disputes! After all, this is about building a country!" Yevlov said to Yelentina as if he had seen through everything.
"It may be difficult! As long as Belekov dares to do it, he will be successful!" Yelentina pointed to Salinchkin who was sitting on the side of the podium: "The main thing is his attitude! Look at him
With his current expression, do you think he is against it? I don’t think so! As long as he supports it, all his objections are useless!”
Yang Mingzhi let the swarm of "bees" buzz for a while, then waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Okay! Comrades! I know that my proposal will definitely cause an uproar.
I think this is the focus of everyone’s objections! We are here in Belarus. Even if we want to establish a country, we must restore Belarus instead of establishing a new country on Belarusian soil! Moreover, this country is named after the guerrillas and the guerrilla movement
, also very absurd!”
At this time, Kavitsky raised his hand!
Yang Mingzhi recognized this guy at a glance. He had been the one with the most questions and doubts in the past few days. Speaking of which, his doubts were never arbitrary. It was just that he was so keen on questioning, which was really annoying.
Kavitsky ignored all the strange looks directed at him and said: "As Comrade Commander said! Most of you here are Belarusians. Even some comrades are Jews and Ukrainians, but their identity documents all say
Obviously, they are the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic!
At the morning meeting, Comrade Salinchkin made it clear that Novgomel is not only a large-scale guerrilla zone, but also known as the last territory in Belarus that has not been occupied by the invaders!
So, what kind of country do we want to build? I think it is our task to restore the territory of Belarus and restore Belarus’s seat on the Council of Ministers! Maybe my statement is very limited, but I am a Belarusian and I love this country deeply.
This land, I never allowed it to be occupied by the Germans!"
After Kavitsky finished speaking, someone in the crowd began to applaud, and then the applause started thundering.
It seems that Belarusian nationalism is perfectly incited. Anyone who applauds him will recognize the legitimacy of his speech.
Yang Mingzhi waved his hand again to restore the silence in the venue and smiled slightly.
"I was moved by Comrade Kavitsky's speech just now! If I were also a Belarusian by blood, I would also support him! But! Since Comrade Kavitsky has acknowledged the limitations of his remarks, I will
I have to say that this statement is indeed very limiting!
Comrade Salinchkin has read out the leader's orders to us, as well as the former First Secretary of Belarus' love for us.
Of these two, one is leading nearly 200 million people to fight against the Nazis, and the other is in charge of the guerrilla movement in the entire occupied area. As a powerful army with an official group army designation and a large control area, we
Just because we are Belarusians, do we only aim to liberate Belarus? Such an idea itself is wrong! Everyone sitting here must review these ideas!
The reason is very simple. Our task is to expand as much as possible and extend our power to the unexpectedly occupied areas of Belarus. This is still our obligation and responsibility. That is why we have to establish such a country, a guerrilla republic!
We try our best to organize the guerrillas in the occupied areas. If we only recruit and assist these guerrillas under the name of the 63rd Army, will such a name be resounding? No! We may even encounter resistance from the people!"
Will the name of the 63rd Army be offensive? This statement is refreshing. Salinchkin, who was originally sitting, stood up decisively and asked: "Comrade Berekov! Why are the people resisting! What is it that the people are resisting?
?”
Yang Mingzhi was shocked. He was eloquently instilling his will into the crowd who were listening with big eyes, but the commissioner on one side couldn't sit still!
Yang Mingzhi paused and spoke again: "Comrade Salinchkin's question just now was very good! What are the people resisting?
I describe it this way, if I was a peaceful resident, engaged in a normal job. The war suddenly broke out, millions of Red Army troops collapsed, hundreds of thousands of people died, and hundreds of thousands of people were captured! My home was bombed by a German bomb
My family was killed! And I became a slave in the occupied area under the brutal rule of the German army!
What would I do in this situation? I think, I would secretly sharpen my knife and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. Secondly, I would complain that millions of Red Army troops could not defend their people. Thirdly, I would find a way to escape from the control of the Germans.
, to find the guerrillas!
So, when the residents of the villages occupied by the German army heard the name of the 63rd Army! Do you think they were really convinced? Such an army really existed? It was a group army! Did the army of the motherland carry out a strategic plan?
Counterattack, have you already fought back to the village?
The result is of course negative, at least for now!
Therefore, people hear the names of the 63rd Army and the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. They cannot see these through their own eyes. First of all, they will not believe that such an army exists, let alone that Belarus is not dead!
What the people need is a real group army with 100,000 troops! What the people need is the Republic of Belarus in the true sense!
So why do we need to use these two names to implement future expansion strategies? At most, people will believe that this is the guerrillas using these famous names to fight against Germany.
What the people hear most is the guerrillas! They know that there are guerrillas of all sizes in the forest, and they also know that the guerrillas have always been under the control of the state. It is a fact that the guerrilla movement is booming! Just like our current situation, a large number of residents have fled into the swamps
They are searching for Novgomel all the time, why? They subconsciously believe that the area controlled by the guerrillas is the paradise, and the best paradise now is only ours!"
