Chapter 8: Yongxing (8)

"Comrade Zhou Jinguo, do you think Comrade Zhou Jincai is now repentant, is it because he can't let go of his position as battalion commander, or is it because the governor didn't launch the outline of the "Land Law" earlier?" Shen Xin's face was always very kind during the conversation, but at the end of the conversation, his questions became more and more acute.

The army commander Lei Hu still had the expression of the old god, but the division commander's expression that began to ease suddenly became nervous again. When Zhou Jinguo stated the content, he did not exaggerate, did not bite indiscriminately, and tried to restore the true face of the matter in his speech, so that the matter of opposing Wei Zedudu, which seemed to be strict, became Zhou Jincai was coaxed, and he had a strong desire to think of the landlord, so there was such a thing.

The division commander who was eager to strangle Zhou Jinguo gradually became comfortable in his heart. If Shen Xin, the "head of the prison army", accepts Zhou Jinguo's statement, then the responsibility is the matter of Commander Xiong and Zhou Jincai.

When Regiment Commander Xiong was called to the military academy, the division commander voted in favor. That burning and dry guy made the division commander feel very annoying. As for the reason why Zhou Jincai thought that he would be dismissed, it was because he said on many occasions that Wei Zedudu's words did not count. Zhou Jincai talked nonsense, and the division commander immediately dismissed him. The division commander dealt with the mistakes of these two people very firmly.

Looking at Shen Xin's gentle expression during the conversation, the division commander felt that this matter might be able to be gently put down, if it could be determined that Zhou Jincai was just confused for a while and was deceived by others, the division commander's responsibility would be completely cleared.

Now Shen Xin asked Zhou Jincai about the reason for his dissatisfaction and repentance, and the division commander felt dangerous again. If Zhou Jincai is considered a deeply buried bastard, the division commander is naturally responsible. His eyes couldn't help but widen a little, and the division commander waited nervously for Zhou Jinguo to continue.

"This ......" Zhou Jinguo couldn't answer for a while. He actually didn't think too much about it, but he felt that although Zhou Jincai was hateful in some places, he was quite pitiful in many places. Recalling Zhou Jincai's crying and crying words about wanting to stay in the Liberation Army, Zhou Jinguo said: "Political Commissar Shen, I think what Zhou Jincai really cares about is the identity of the Liberation Army, and he is really willing to stay in the army. ”

This answer was a bit ambiguous, and Zhou Jinguo also felt that he couldn't fully answer Shen Xin's question, so he thought about it again and continued: "Of course, if he can continue to be the battalion commander, he will naturally be happier." And I think he's going to work hard, too. Those who mischievous have been cleared out of the ranks, and those who are left are willing to fight honestly. ”

The division commander never expected that Zhou Jinguo's words would be praising the construction of the troops, although he still kept a straight face, but his heart had a complete change in his opinion of Zhou Jinguo.

Shen Xin thought for a while before taking over the conversation, "That is to say, if the governor had come up with the outline of the "Land Law" earlier, Comrade Zhou Jincai would not have risen up to resist even if he was unhappy?" ”

The division commander shouted in his heart, "Zhou Jinguo, you hurry up and say yes!" Hurry up and say yes! ”

Zhou Jinguo thought for a while, "That must be because he knew from the beginning that we wanted to share the land." Since there was no such a clear policy before, as long as he listened to the words of the head of the Xiong group, and now that he knows the land policy, Zhou Jin will definitely still make trouble. ”

"That is to say, the propaganda of our troops in the past is not in place. Many people have raised things that are different from the policies we are now promoting? Shen Xin concluded.

Zhou Jinguo nodded, "That's it." ”

The division commander's good impression of Zhou Jinguo immediately flew out of the clouds with these words, and he glared at Zhou Jinguo angrily again, how could he talk about it, and finally came to the conclusion that there was a problem with the troops! What made the division commander even more angry was that Zhou Jinguo's words implied that the outline of the "Land Law" promulgated by Governor Wei Zedu was too late.

Before the division commander had time to determine how to punish Zhou Jinguo severely, he heard Shen Xin say: "Can I summarize it like this, the work of our political department is still not in place. Originally, the job of the political department was to explain our philosophy and system to everyone clearly, but now the political department has not been able to do this. ”

Hearing this, the division commander was stunned. He never expected that Shen Xin would take the initiative to take the responsibility. While the division commander showed a stunned expression, the face of the division political commissar became ugly.

And Zhou Jinguo hurriedly said: "When the governor will issue the outline of the "Land Law" is a matter for the governor to decide, I didn't say that the governor is not." ”

Shen Xin smiled, "This is a matter of the Ministry of Politics, not the Governor's business." Camp Commander Zhou didn't think much about it. ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Xin looked at the people around him, and he asked, "I've finished asking what I want to ask, but I don't know if there are any other comrades who want to ask?" ”

Of course, the division commander didn't want to ask anything. But the army commander Lei Hu spoke, "Comrade Zhou Jinguo, I heard that you often eat with Comrade Zhou Jincai. Have you ever discussed land issues before? ”

"Never!" Zhou Jinguo replied categorically, "We all talk about wars and how to manage the troops when we eat. Before this land reform propaganda, none of us had said anything about land. ”

Lei Hu nodded lightly, "I don't have anything more to ask." ”

After the conversation, Shen Xin didn't talk about it anymore, he left and went back to his office. The division commander grabbed Lei Hu, who was about to leave, "Commander, what is this Shen Xin doing, how dare you speak ill of the governor?" What does he mean? ”

Lei Hu replied slowly: "Shen Xin, he is the director of the political department appointed by the governor. He was first in charge of the work of the Ministry of Politics. Don't think about it, what Shen Xin said is that the work of the previous political department was not in place. He, the director of the political department, naturally wants to work hard to make up for this. It has nothing to do with you. ”

The division commander breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Commander, I'm relieved if you say that." ”

After solving the division commander's concerns, Lei Hu began to return to his military headquarters. He didn't want to talk too much with the division commander, Lei Hu knew very well that the political department was an institution directly led by Wei Ze, and Shen Xin said that the political department was not working enough, but it was not enough to deduct dirty water for himself. Not to blame Governor Weese. What Shen Xin wants is to "make up for the political work!" ”

As the text begins with the paragraph of the "Outline of the Agrarian Revolution in the Governor's Mansion", "The work of the government is the core of the Guangfu Society, and we must establish a political organization with iron discipline." Countless histories have proved one thing, there is no steel-like political organization, no steel-like political discipline, and no steel-like and unshakable country. ”

Shen Xin's purpose of taking a step back now is to take two steps later. If Shen Xin hadn't done this, he, the director of the political department, would have done his job. In the future, there will certainly be big moves in the political work in the military.

The army commander had his own opinions, and the division commander felt that he had escaped a catastrophe and was full of joy. And the direct trigger of this incident, the battalion commander Zhou Jinguo, felt a little scared after returning to the battalion headquarters. Speaking for his friends in front of so many big people was something that Zhou Jinguo had never thought of. After doing this, he can be regarded as worthy of Zhou Jincai. As for the army's handling of Zhou Jincai in the future, it was Zhou Jincai's own life. Zhou Jinguo didn't think he had the ability to let so many big people listen to his thoughts as a battalion commander.

Finally calmed down his mood, and Zhou Jinguo began to think of his original purpose. When will I be able to go home? Even if what Lu Shangyang said is true, Zhou Jinguo's family never came back after leaving seven or eight years ago, and Zhou Jinguo also hopes that he can go back to see it in person.

In the next few days, the shock and controversy over the Outline of the Land Law are gradually subsiding. The troops also all knew Wei Ze's order of "not killing a single person, trying not to arrest it". Seeing that there were no killings in the troops, let alone arrests, everyone's mood was normal. And in daily conversations, everyone admired the kindness of Governor Wei Zedu.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are still uneasy, all of whom have openly opposed the land reform policy, and have not been arrested or directly stripped of their military posts after Wei Ze issued the order to "not kill a single person, try not to arrest them". but was "put in charge". They have a lot of anxiety about their future.

On the seventh day after Zhou Jinguo's talk, the decision on Zhou Jincai's disposal also came out. Zhou Jincai, who had been imprisoned for almost a month, first made several self-criticisms in the army, saying that he had a wrong concept of thinking about the landlords, and after studying the decision of the central authorities, he realized his mistake and would firmly obey the land policy of the central authorities in the future. Fight the war well and go to build a new country with your comrades. I also hope that comrades who think the same way as him will recognize their mistakes and stop thinking about going against land reform.

After several such self-criticisms, Zhou Jincai accepted the administrative demerit punishment. But he himself returned to the post of battalion commander.

It's not a shame to kill people in these years, and Zhou Jincai admitted that he was wrong, which is a very shameless thing in everyone's eyes. However, since he has admitted his wrong thoughts, he has publicly vowed to correct them. The official was reinstated, but it was also a very generous treatment. This is even more to stabilize the feelings of cadres and soldiers. As long as you admit your mistakes, you can be let go, and admitting mistakes is obviously not an unacceptable practice.

With Zhou Jincai taking the lead, those comrades who had openly opposed the land reform policy openly admitted their mistakes and expressed their firm support for the land reform policy. There was no longer any question about land reform in the entire army, and all the rest were supporters of land reform.

After a few more days, the commissars began to meet frequently. Zhou Jinguo also received a new order to report to the Ministry of Political Affairs. After Zhou Jinguo, who was a little at a loss, arrived at the political ministry, he immediately accepted the new personnel order. "Now Zhou Jinguo is temporarily terminated from his position as battalion commander and enters the training department of the army's political department to receive training. At the same time as the training, he temporarily took over the position of battalion commander as the deputy secretary of the Liberation Association in the battalion. ”

Although he was completely ignorant of this order, Zhou Jinguo still obeyed the order.

At this time, Lei Hu, the commander of the Fourth Army, returned to Guangzhou from Chenzhou, and in Wei Ze's office, Lei Hu pondered the two options proposed by Wei Ze, either to take charge of the political work of the Fourth Army as the military political commissar and secretary of the Guangfu Society, or to take charge of military work as the army commander and deputy secretary of the committee.

Wei Ze looked at Lei Hu and said slowly: "The military commander is only responsible for the war, and the work outside the war is the responsibility of the political commissar. At the same level, the military commander must obey the final discussion and resolution of the Liberation Committee at that level. Of course, the military chief himself is the deputy secretary of the committee at the same level. In general, the military and the government are integrated, and the Liberation Society will lead the Liberation Army. ”

"What about the HR department?" Lei Hu asked.

Wei Ze replied: "The personnel department only selects officers, and has no right to interfere with the personnel of the Liberation Society. The committee of the Liberation Council has the power to remove military commanders. ”

Regarding the adjustment of the new Restoration Society system, although Lei Hu still doesn't quite understand, he also knows Wei Ze's attitude. But this choice did not stump him, "Governor, I still want to be a military commander." ”

"Okay." Wei Ze did not force Lei Hu, "By the way, I will tell you one thing, I am going to have a meeting to discuss one thing, if the meeting is passed, the Guangfu Association will be renamed the Guangfu Party." There is a word called "the party is the same and the party is different", and this is the direction of our future. ”R1058
