"Old Tu, you are finally back!" Division Commander Wu came to the station to pick up Political Commissar Tu Jinsheng and held his hand tightly.
His old partner laughed. "What did you do to the Deputy Political Commissar? Are you waiting for me to come back and clean up the mess?"
"Sigh … it's a long story. I almost fell down myself." Division Commander Wu sighed.
Division Commander Wu did not complain anymore as he rode in the military jeep on the bumpy muddy road. He asked. "How's your recovery? You seem to have lost a lot of weight. "
This time, it was Commissar Tu's turn to sigh. "After returning to Asia for treatment, I realized that eating too much meat will cause my illness. It's not a joke. The doctor gave me a bunch of explanations, but I don't really understand them. The gist is that eating too much meat and salt will cause cardiovascular problems. I told him that my family has been poor since I was young. I can't even eat meat, let alone eat meat. It's not easy for me to eat meat, so I can die. But I can't stop eating meat. I might say that, but I'm still afraid of death. "
Division Commander Wu laughed a few times, but after thinking about it carefully, he could not laugh anymore. "The Commander in Chief has really let everyone live a good life, but now I know that we need to know how to live a good life. In the past, we thought that those rich people were all bastards, but now it seems that the Commander in Chief was right. They are bastards because they are too narrow-minded. What did the Commander in Chief say? Fear is nothing to be afraid of. What is scary is fear itself. At the end of the day, it's still fear of poverty. "
Hearing this, Commissar Tu immediately became interested. "Old Wu, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you seem to have no problem becoming a political commissar."
Division Commander Wu laughed. "Why don't we swap positions?"
Commissar Tu shook his head. "I almost lost my life, and now I only have half of it left. If you want me to lead the troops, let's not go to the division headquarters. Just send me to the crematorium. "
The old man was very straightforward, but his jokes were just to pave the way for future work. After returning to the division headquarters, he first told Division Commander Wu about the recent events in the army and what happened to him. Then, Division Commander Wu asked Commissar Tu, "What's the Central Government's attitude towards your treatment and the latest instructions from the Central Government?"
Commissar Tu said seriously, "The Central Government is preparing to make personnel changes, and Director Shen is coming to North America to work."
"Shen Xin is coming to North America? Isn't there always someone who wants him to be the premier? "Division Commander Wu was shocked by this answer. Shen Xin was the Director of the Political Department and one of the most favored officers in the army by Vézé. There were also many rumors that Shen Xin would become the next Prime Minister. If Shen Xin were to come to North America to work, it would not be a mere formality. This meant that there was going to be a big move in North America.
Commissar Tu replied, "Before I left, the commander-in-chief made a report to the troops. He believed that over the years, the army had been overused. This was also a practical problem. The northern region could only rely on the army for construction. Now, we have to consciously shorten this situation, and the troops have to return to their original duties. "
This time, Division Commander Wu did not say anything. The veteran soldiers of his generation all considered themselves Vézé's soldiers. They had seen Vézé before. They had fought under Vézé's personal command. In this era where the average lifespan was more than 40 years, they had followed Vézé for 30 years. In other words, they had spent their entire lives under Vézé's command. Moreover, it was Vézé who had brought them from nothing to where they were now. It was Vézé who had brought them out of their former villages and families, allowing them to see and gradually understand the vast and boundless world. In this world, Vézé was the only one for them.
Moreover, Vézé's power had made these veteran soldiers willingly lower their heads and follow the path that Vézé had opened up. Just like now, when Division Commander Wu was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the army, Vézé had proposed a policy for the future. With Vézé's attitude, Division Commander Wu immediately felt empowered.
After the excitement subsided, Political Commissar Tu praised, "Good! Good! That's how it should be! "
Political Commissar Tu had long understood the spirit of the central government, so he was no longer excited. Instead, he was more concerned about what Division Commander Wu had said. "Old Wu, I think you were too hasty with what you said just now. What did you think about it at that time? "
"I had long felt that the army was very lax. In the past, when someone in our army committed a crime, what would happen if he was the first one to do it? He would immediately come back to the leader and beg him to help solve the problem. Have you ever seen someone run away after saying that something was wrong? Back then, when the Commander-in-Chief was at Qing Shan in Guangdong, he also killed many people. At that time, he was only chased away. No one said that he ran away before being chased away. " Division Commander Wu was very frank. At that time, the Liberation Army did not recruit people everywhere like the Taiping Rebellion and other rebellious forces. Instead, they had carried out a very strict internal reorganization. At that time, only Vézé could push for such an action. It did not matter if everyone understood what Vézé had said or not. What was important was that they did what Vézé said.
Political Commissar Tu had also experienced that era, so he was very clear about the situation back then. Although some people were stubborn and unconvinced, there was really no one who ran away. Of course, in a chaotic era, running anywhere was better than staying in the Liberation Army. Political Commissar Tu nodded slightly after listening to Division Commander Wu's words.
Division Commander Wu continued, "If you read the report from the Military Law Department, you will understand. According to Li Guangzu, when he was working near Slave Lake, he received winter training from the army. After the incident, he knew that he could not escape punishment, so he thought of hiding there for the winter and looking for an opportunity to run back to Asia in the spring. After I read the report, I thought, 'How did you lead the army? I'm not saying that the Company Commander was wrong to talk about winter survival, but there has to be a purpose for it. The army does not need this! Just this idea alone is equivalent to making the army think that how am I going to survive if I leave the army. If Li Guangzu did not know about this method, even if he was scared away, he would still be scared in the wilderness and would have to come back to the army to solve the problem. But in his heart, he felt that since he had learned his own survival method, he would definitely want to give it a try. Just because of this, I am very dissatisfied with the Company Commander. "
Political Commissar Tu could only sigh after listening to Division Commander Wu's words. As an old partner, Political Commissar Tu knew very well that Division Commander Wu was unusually sharp in many areas. Of course, this could be explained by many theories, but at that time, it was the intuition of an old soldier, the intuition that had been cultivated after so many years in the army.
Political Commissar Tu sighed and thought for a moment before saying, "These young people nowadays have learned too much in the military academy, especially those who are capable. Especially those who are capable, we really can't compare to them when we were young. If we met these young people when we were young, we might not be their match in terms of fighting. But we know why we developed those technologies. When we encountered all kinds of problems that we could not solve at that time, we had to find a solution. If we couldn't find a solution, we would not be able to fight the war. But to these kids, they only learned the technology and methods, but they did not know how to use it at all. Why did they have to learn these things? Old Wu, I support you in this aspect. "
The old Political Commissar was indeed different. He quickly found a more reasonable explanation, and the explanation was also very deep. Since this aspect had been explained, Division Commander Wu did not mention it again. He said frankly, "I also have a problem with this matter. I have a selfish motive. I want to protect our old division commander's son. But I am also very dissatisfied with this situation. So, I have to find someone to show my authority. He couldn't let this kind of thing continue like this. If you had been there at that time, this matter would not have become like this. "
"You don't have to blame yourself too much. I listened to what you said, and in the end, I still made the right decision. Those who should leave have to leave. This is not a matter of being heartless. If they don't leave, we will have to leave. Let's leave this matter at that. From what you said, you also have your own plans for reorganizing the troops. Tell me about it. " Political Commissar Tu put an end to this matter and then began to talk about the problem he was concerned about. How should the Central Committee's attitude be implemented?
"This is what I think. First of all, we should pull the troops out of the basic construction. Soldiers are soldiers, and they are here to fight. They have to go to the battlefield. Yes, it is tiring to walk on foot. The environment is harsh, and the conditions are bad. But if we feel that this is a problem that cannot be overcome, how can we fight the war? Of course, I know that basic construction is very important, but can't we fight the war without railways and roads? Northeast China and North America were taken over when we were expanding our territory. If we can't fight the war without railways and roads, how can we take over such a large territory in North America? Isn't it just walking on foot?! Now, we don't need the help of the troops to build the railways. All the work will be handed over to the railway soldiers. The troops will have to go to the mountainous areas in the south to start the rehabilitation work. We should first restore the ability to fight the war without roads, "Division Commander Wu explained his idea.
