Zhou Jinguo was calmly handling official business in the regimental headquarters. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers entering and leaving the regimental headquarters were all very cautious and fearful. Zhou Jincai was the first one who couldn't take it anymore. After the big fight with Zhou Jinguo, he was put into confinement, and later, Zhou Jinguo said that he was reinstated. There was an indescribable knot in their relationship, but it was a real step closer. Therefore, Zhou Jincai asked Zhou Jinguo, "The Jin Kingdom, what is the intention of the higher-ups? Are we just going to let this matter go? "
Ever since the Second Regiment started to publicize the land reform, it could be described as being in the eye of the storm. Zhou Jincai was undoubtedly the culprit behind the previous incident. And this time, the group recognized the culprits as the loudest, the loudest group of people from the Soldier Committee. But until now, other than ordering a complete end to the "economic war" promoted by the military, Zhou Jinguo only emphasized one thing: "The military is for war, not for business."
Therefore, after hearing Zhou Jincai's question, Zhou Jinguo replied, "What do you mean by forget it? When I went to the Military Headquarters, General Lei said that when we established the General Staff Headquarters, we made a lot more of a joke than now. In the end, we finally built the General Staff Headquarters. Since then, our Liberation Army has never been afraid of anyone. "
Zhou Jincai didn't fully understand what Lei Hu meant. However, as a battalion commander who had made a mistake not long ago, he was definitely not qualified to participate in a military conference called by a corps commander. Zhou Jincai asked, "The Jin Kingdom, tell me about it."
Zhou Jinguo sighed and did not continue. As a political commissar, he was mentally prepared to be ostracized when he went to the military headquarters for the meeting. Unexpectedly, when the meeting started, Commander Lei Hu was the first to speak. "The Commander-in-Chief led us to establish the General Staff Division in Dao State. At that time, other than the Commander-in-Chief, no one, including the Commander-in-Chief, knew what the General Staff Division would eventually become. However, the commander-in-chief could see things clearly. He said to establish a combat training department first, and in the future, the recruitment of soldiers would not be managed by the officers. All the new recruits were sent to the combat training department for training. After completing the basic training, they would be assigned to combat units. At that time, there were a lot of jokes in the army. The number of stupid things they did and the number of detours they took was innumerable. Now that I think about it, I still don't understand how I could be so foolish at that time. I didn't know how selfish people could be … "
Lei Hu was comparing the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters to the current system of Party committees. Moreover, his sentence, "Now that I think about it, we didn't know how stupid we could be at that time, and we didn't know how selfish people could be …" was really the finishing touch. This guy had made the responsibility very clear.
Lei Hu set the tone for the problems that would inevitably be encountered in the development process, and Shen Xin, the political commissar, echoed his words, so no one pushed the meeting towards the direction of using someone else as a scapegoat. The result of the discussion was far beyond Zhou Jinguo's imagination.
First of all, the content of the punishment was to give the regiment commander and the chief of staff major demerits, but they were not deprived of their military positions. The reason for giving these two demerits was very simple. As the chief military officer, they did not consider the possibility of the enemy launching a large-scale attack. This was the problem of the military command.
If it was not a platoon, but a battalion, or even a company that went to escort the caravan, this battle would be completely different. A battalion of 650 people, even if the Xiang Army and regimental commanders carried out a sneak attack, could easily fight one against three and annihilate the enemy in the face of a motley crew composed of 2,000 Xiang Army and regimental commanders. Even a company of more than 160 people could find a place to defend until reinforcements arrived in the face of ten times the number of enemies. However, it was not unusual for a platoon of more than 40 people to be besieged by enemies 50 times the number of enemies to be defeated.
When the Liberation Army cleaned up the battlefield and counted the casualties, even though the Xiang Army had the advantage of weather, geography, and manpower, and had an absolute advantage in military strength, in order to annihilate the 40 Liberation Army, they still paid the price of 200 casualties. This battle just proved the huge difference in combat effectiveness between the Xiang Army and the Liberation Army.
In addition to the responsibility of the military director, it was also considered a major problem to allow the representatives of the soldiers' committee to participate in the Party Committee meeting. The economic war was ordered by the central government. If the central government did not stop it, the troops could not say that they quit. However, the Party Committee was the organ of power, and the soldiers' committee was the auxiliary supervisory organ. The supervisory organ could actually have the right to speak in the organ of power, this relationship was considered inappropriate. Therefore, the military headquarters passed the decision that the Party would not allow the members of the soldiers' committee to participate in the future.
This was a problem of the system, so there was no right or wrong, only a problem of whether it was appropriate or not. Shen Xin made a self-criticism, thinking that this part of the responsibility should be more clear. The next discussion was about the placement of the martyrs.
Although the personal relationship between the heroic Zheng Yufeng and Commander Ruan Xihao was never mentioned in the regiment, the senior officers in the regiment all knew Comrade Zheng Yufeng's family situation. Therefore, Zhou Jinguo was very worried about how to explain to the commander of the Second Army, Ruan Xihao. Political Commissar Shen Xin's way of handling was very unique. In the first report, because of the grudge in his heart, Zhou Jinguo's report specially used a paragraph to introduce Zheng Yufeng as the wife of Brigade Commander Ruan Zhihao and the sister-in-law of Commander Ruan Xihao.
Shen Xin waved his pen and changed it to "Comrade Zheng Yufeng joined the revolutionary army in 1852, was an honorable member of the Restoration Party, and was an outstanding revolutionary female soldier in the Liberation Army …"
Zhou Jinguo originally thought that this was to avoid trouble, but after reading on, he actually saw the door. Shen Xin was not afraid that Zheng Yufeng's husband's family would cause trouble, but he wanted to create a heroic female soldier. In the handling of the text, Zheng Yufeng sacrificed herself for a noble cause had nothing to do with her being the daughter-in-law of the Ruan family. Shen Xin emphasized Zheng Yufeng's heroic spirit honed in a long-term revolutionary career.
If one did not think about it carefully, it would not be a big deal. But after thinking about it carefully, one could understand the deeper meaning. As a political commissar, Zhou Jinguo had received political training and also had political awareness. In the political proposition of the Liberation Army, there was the idea of equality for all and personal liberation through revolution. Such an idea was incompatible with the tradition of this era. In the tradition, after a woman married, she became the man's woman. When talking about married women, the first thing to be mentioned was the woman's husband and the woman's husband's family.
Shen Xin's position in promoting the hero Zheng Yufeng was based on Zheng Yufeng herself being a member of the Restoration Party and a soldier of the Liberation Army. According to this line of thinking, Zheng Yufeng's husband became the person behind the hero Zheng Yufeng. When the hero image of Zheng Yufeng was erected, the existence of the Ruan family or not had no effect at all.
After attending this meeting, Zhou Jinguo not only realized the broad-mindedness of Commander Lei Hu, but also sincerely admired Political Commissar Shen Xin's keen response to politics and high political awareness. If Zhou Jinguo dealt with this matter by himself, he would inevitably fall into the situation of satisfying the superiors first and then apologizing to the big shots.
This understanding was too dark, and Zhou Jinguo really could not explain in detail to Zhou Jincai. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Jinguo said, "Our next task is to take down Yongxing and wipe out the surrounding Xiang Army. These regiment trainers dare to be so arrogant because they have the cooperation of the Xiang Army. The Diao family has also fled to Yongxing City. If we want to catch these bastards and avenge our comrades, we have to take down Yongxing first. "
After hearing Zhou Jinguo's words, Zhou Jincai smiled bitterly and said, "The regiment commander is throwing a tantrum!"
Of course, Zhou Jinguo knew that the regiment commander was throwing a tantrum. Not only the regiment commander, but the chief of staff was also in an extremely bad mood. Thinking of these two military directors, Zhou Jinguo could only smile bitterly.
The regiment commander's dissatisfaction was public. It was the party committee meeting that ordered the deal, and the regiment commander did not really support it at that time. However, the party committee that made the decision was not punished, and the representative of the soldiers' committee who caused the trouble was only ordered not to attend the party committee meeting in the future. There was no real punishment. All the punishment fell on the regiment commander and the chief of staff. In the military headquarters meeting, the regiment commander immediately expressed his opposition.
After the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters system, the military commander was the regiment commander. Although the chief of staff was the same rank as the regiment commander, his authority was also the same as the regiment commander. Compared to the simple military commanders, the General Staff Headquarters was in charge of logistics, property, personnel, and the overall authority was even greater. It was just that the regiment commander himself had been a staff officer in a normal rotation and knew the hardships of a staff officer's work, so he was very respectful to the chief of staff.
Under the original General Staff Headquarters system, the regiment commander and the chief of staff decided almost all military affairs. Authority represented the amount of power. They had the highest authority, so naturally, they had the highest responsibility. Now, the new system of the Party committee was another set of systems. This system said that it respected the military command of the regiment commander and the chief of staff, but in fact, the Party committee was completely above the regiment commander. Everything was decided by the Party committee. The regiment commander was a member of the Restoration Party, so he could also be the deputy secretary of the Party committee. But the regiment commander and the chief of staff only had one vote each. In the Party committee meeting, their two votes were very low. The two of them could no longer decide most of the work of the army, but when it came to fighting, their responsibilities were still the same as before.
In such a situation, the regiment commander and the chief of staff were the only two people who were subject to administrative sanctions. Now that the military command of the Liberation Army was still the system of the General Staff Headquarters, the evaluation of those who were subject to administrative sanctions would be greatly reduced, and their promotion paths would be greatly affected. Therefore, Zhou Jinguo could understand the regiment commander's reason for publicly opposing it. He felt that if he were in the position of the regiment commander, he would also publicly oppose it.
Zhou Jinguo sighed and said to Zhou Jincai, "I'll talk to the regiment commander about the matter. The troops still have to prepare for battle. And this time, we have to make it clear to everyone during the mobilization that attacking Yongxing this time is a military mission. Our captive policy cannot be violated. For the enemies who surrender, we have to give them the treatment of captives. We can't kill captives just to vent our anger. "
Hearing the order not to kill captives, Zhou Jincai smiled bitterly again. "Political Commissar, the comrades are going crazy with anger. Everyone is shouting about killing into Yongxing and leaving no one alive. If you want to emphasize the captive policy, then you go ahead and say it. I can't do that. "
"Sigh …" Zhou Jinguo sighed. He knew very well what kind of resistance he would encounter when facing the angry soldiers.
Seeing Zhou Jinguo's depression, Zhou Jincai couldn't help but say, "Political Commissar, the commander-in-chief set up this party committee system to make everyone work for nothing! You're so troubled, and the regiment commander is so angry. When have we ever made things so difficult for our own people in the past! "
Hearing Zhou Jincai's criticism of Vézé, Zhou Jinguo put away his troubled expression and said seriously, "Jincai, when the General Staff Headquarters system was first set up, the officers felt that there were too many restrictions and had even more objections than now. But now, who still thinks that there's a problem with the General Staff Headquarters system? Since the commander-in-chief has given the order, even if we can't understand it, we should follow it. "
Zhou Jincai couldn't help but say something against Vézé's point of view. After he finished speaking, he also felt a little uneasy. That month of confinement left a very deep impression on Zhou Jincai. Seeing that Zhou Jinguo didn't get angry because of this, Zhou Jincai chose to keep his mouth shut even though he still didn't agree with it.
