"Comrade Zhou Jinguo, do you think Comrade Zhou Jincai is repentant because he can't let go of his position as a battalion commander, or is it because the commander-in-chief didn't introduce the Land Law earlier?" Shen Xin's expression remained amiable throughout the conversation, but towards the end of the conversation, his questions became sharper and sharper.
Commander Lei Hu still had a calm expression, but the division commander's expression suddenly tensed up again. Just now, when Zhou Jinguo was narrating the content, he did not exaggerate and did not bite off more than he could chew. In his speech, he tried his best to restore the truth of the matter, making what seemed like a serious case of opposing Wei Ze become a case of Zhou Jinguo being deceived. In addition, he had a strong desire to be the landlord, which resulted in such a thing.
The division commander, who originally wanted to strangle Zhou Jinguo to death, gradually felt better. If "Chief Supervisor" Shen Xin accepted Zhou Jinguo's explanation, then the responsibility would be between Regiment Commander Xiong and Zhou Jincai.
When Regiment Commander Xiong was called to the military academy, the division commander voted in favor. The division commander hated that irascible guy. As for why Zhou Jincai was removed from his position, it was because he said on many occasions that the Military Governor Of Vaize didn't keep his word. Zhou Jincai spoke nonsense, so the division commander immediately removed him from his position. The division commander firmly dealt with the mistakes of these two people.
During the conversation, he saw Shen Xin's gentle expression, so the division commander felt that he could let this matter go. If he could determine that Zhou Jincai was just fooled for a moment and was tricked, then the division commander's responsibility would be completely cleared.
Now that Shen Xin asked Zhou Jincai the reason for his dissatisfaction and repentance, the division commander felt that it was dangerous again. If Zhou Jincai was thought to be a well-hidden bastard, then the division commander would naturally be responsible. The division commander couldn't help but widen his eyes. He nervously waited for Zhou Jinguo to continue.
"This …" Zhou Jinguo couldn't answer for a moment. Actually, he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that although Zhou Jincai was hateful in some areas, he was also quite pitiful in other areas. Recalling Zhou Jincai's tearful words about wanting to stay in the Liberation Army, Zhou Jinguo said, "Political Commissar Shen, I think what Zhou Jincai really cares about is his identity in the Liberation Army. He really wants to stay in the army."
This answer was somewhat ambiguous. Zhou Jinguo also felt that he didn't completely answer Shen Xin's question. He thought for a moment and then continued, "Of course, if he could continue to be the battalion commander, he would naturally be happier. And I think he'll work hard too. Those troublemakers have all been kicked out of the team, and the ones left are those who are willing to fight honestly. "
The division commander had never expected Zhou Jinguo to praise the construction of the troops. Although he still kept a straight face, his opinion of Zhou Jinguo had completely changed.
Shen Xin thought for a moment before continuing, "In other words, if the Commander in Chief had taken out the Land Law Outline earlier, even if Comrade Zhou Jincai wasn't happy, he wouldn't have resisted?"
The division commander shouted in his heart, "Zhou Jinguo, hurry up and say it! Hurry up and say it! "
Zhou Jinguo thought for a moment. "That's because he knew from the beginning that we were going to split the land. Since there wasn't such a clear policy in the past, as long as he listened to Commander Xiong, Zhou Jincai would definitely still cause trouble now that he knows about the land policy. "
"That is to say, our troops didn't publicize it properly in the past. Many people have proposed different policies than what we have publicized now? "Shen Xin concluded.
Zhou Jinguo nodded. "That's right."
The division commander's good impression of Zhou Jinguo immediately disappeared after hearing this. He glared at Zhou Jinguo angrily again. Why did he still come up with the conclusion that there was something wrong with the troops?! What made the division commander even more furious was that Zhou Jinguo's words implied that the Military Governor Vaize had promulgated the Land Law Outline too late.
Before the division commander could decide how severely he should punish Zhou Jinguo, he heard Shen Xin say, "Can I conclude that the work of the political department is still not good enough? The job of the political department is to explain our philosophy and system clearly to everyone, but the political department has failed to do that. "
Hearing this, the division commander was stunned. He had never expected Shen Xin to take the initiative to take the blame. While the division commander was stunned, the political commissar's face turned ugly.
Zhou Jinguo quickly said, "It's up to you to decide when to promulgate the Land Law Outline. I didn't say anything wrong."
Shen Xin smiled. "This is the political department's business, not the Governor's. Battalion Commander Zhou, don't think too much about it. "
After saying this, Shen Xin looked at the people around him and asked, "I've asked all the questions, but do the other comrades have anything else to ask?"
Of course, the division commander did not want to ask anything. However, Commander Lei Hu said, "Comrade Zhou Jinguo, I heard that you often have meals with Comrade Zhou Jincai. Have you ever discussed land issues in the past? "
"Never!" Zhou Jinguo's answer was resolute and decisive. "When we eat, we talk about war and how to manage the troops. Before the land reform was publicized, none of us talked about land issues. "
Lei Hu nodded gently. "I have nothing else to ask."
After the conversation, Shen Xin did not talk about this matter anymore. He took his leave and returned to his office. The division commander stopped Lei Hu, who was about to leave. "Commander, what is Shen Xin doing? How dare he speak ill of the Governor? What does he mean? "
Lei Hu replied slowly, "Shen Xin is the director of the political department appointed by the Governor. He is in charge of the political department. Don't think too much about it. Shen Xin said that the political department's work was not good enough. As the director of the political department, he naturally has to work hard to make up for it. This has nothing to do with you. "
The division commander breathed a sigh of relief. "Commander, I'm relieved to hear that."
After resolving the division commander's concerns, Lei Hu began to return to his military headquarters. He did not want to say too much to the division commander just now. Lei Hu knew very well that the political department was directly led by Vézé. When Shen Xin said that the political department was not doing enough work, he was not trying to slander himself. Nor was he blaming Governor Vézé. What Shen Xin wanted was to "make up for the political work!"
As the opening paragraph of the "Land Revolution Outline for the Recovery of the Governor's Office" said, "Political work is the core of the Recovery Society. We need to build a political organization with iron discipline. Countless history has proved one thing. Without an iron political organization and iron political discipline, there is no iron unshakable country. "
The purpose of Shen Xin taking a step back now was to take two steps forward in the future. If Shen Xin did not do this, his position as the director of the political department would have come to an end. In the future, the political work in the army would definitely have a big move.
The commander had his own opinion. The division commander felt that he had escaped a disaster and was full of joy. The battalion commander, Zhou Jinguo, who was the direct trigger of this incident, felt a little scared after returning to the battalion headquarters. Zhou Jinguo had never thought that he would speak up for his friend in front of so many big shots. After doing this, he could be considered to be worthy of Zhou Jincai. As for how the army would deal with Zhou Jincai in the future, that was Zhou Jincai's own fate. Zhou Jinguo did not think that he had the ability to make so many big shots listen to his thoughts as a battalion commander.
After calming down with great difficulty, Zhou Jinguo began to think of his original purpose. When could he go home and see? Even if what Lü Shangyang said was true and Zhou Jinguo's family left seven or eight years ago and never came back, Zhou Jinguo also hoped that he could go back and see for himself.
In the next few days, the shock and controversy caused by the "Land Law Outline" gradually subsided. Everyone in the army knew Vézé's order of "Don't kill anyone and try not to arrest anyone". Seeing that the army neither killed anyone nor arrested anyone, everyone's mood returned to normal. In their daily conversations, everyone admired Commander-in-Chief Wei Ze's kindness.
Of course, there were still a small number of people who were still anxious. These people had openly opposed the land reform policy. After Vézé issued the order of "Don't kill anyone and try not to arrest anyone", they were not arrested, nor were they directly deprived of their positions. But they were "controlled". They were very uneasy about their future.
On the seventh day after Zhou Jinguo's talk, the decision on Zhou Jincai's punishment came out. Zhou Jincai, who had been locked up for almost a month, first made a few self-criticisms in the army, saying that he had the wrong idea of wanting to be a landlord. After learning the decision of the Central Committee, he realized his mistake and would firmly obey the land policy of the Central Committee in the future. He would fight well and build a new country with his comrades. He also hoped that comrades who had the same idea as him would realize their mistakes and stop thinking against the land reform.
After these self-criticisms, Zhou Jincai accepted the administrative punishment of recording a demerit. But he himself returned to his post as a battalion commander.
In this day and age, it was easy to kill someone. Zhou Jincai admitted that he was wrong, which was a very shameful thing in everyone's eyes. But since he admitted his mistake and publicly vowed to correct it, it was a very generous treatment. Returning to his post was a very generous treatment. This also calmed the emotions of the cadre soldiers. As long as he admitted his mistake, he would be let off. Obviously, admitting his mistake was not unacceptable.
With Zhou Jincai taking the lead, the comrades who had openly opposed the land reform policy all publicly admitted their mistakes and expressed their firm support for the land reform policy. The whole army no longer questioned the land reform, and the rest were all supporters of the land reform.
A few days later, the political commissars began to hold frequent meetings. Zhou Jinguo also received a new order to report to the Political Department. When Zhou Jinguo arrived at the Political Department, he immediately received a new personnel order. "Now, Zhou Jinguo's position as battalion commander is temporarily suspended. He will enter the training department of the Political Department to receive training. At the same time, he will temporarily assume the position of battalion commander as the Deputy Secretary of the Recovery Committee. "
Although he had no idea why this order was issued, Zhou Jinguo still obeyed it.
At this time, the commander of the Fourth Army, Lei Hu, had returned to Guangzhou from Chenzhou. In Vézé's office, Lei Hu was thinking about the two options Vézé had proposed. He could either take charge of the political affairs of the Fourth Army as the political commissar and the Secretary of the Recovery Committee, or he could take charge of the military affairs as the commander and the Deputy Secretary of the Recovery Committee.
Vézé looked at Lei Hu and said slowly, "The chief military officer is only in charge of fighting. The work outside of fighting is the responsibility of the political commissar. In the same rank, the chief military officer must obey the final decision of the Recovery Committee. Of course, the chief military officer is the Deputy Secretary of the same rank. In short, the military and politics are one, and the Recovery Committee will lead the Liberation Army. "
"What about the personnel department?" Lei Hu asked.
Vézé answered, "The personnel department only selects officers and has no right to interfere with the members of the Recovery Committee. The committee of the Recovery Committee has the right to remove the chief military officer. "
Although Lei Hu did not fully understand the changes to the new Recovery Committee system, he understood Vézé's attitude. But this choice did not stump him. "Commander-in-chief, I still want to be the commander."
