Chapter 535: Winter is Approaching (5)

Wang Mingshan never expected that after the Democratic Foundation he led had achieved results in Hungary, the first telegram from the relevant domestic units was sent by Qi Rui, the political commissar of the North American theater. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he undertook a period of work to help Comrade Wei Kun progress, Wang Mingshan had an indescribable feeling in his heart when he faced Qi Rui, who was known as the most favored son of Wei Zedudu. After reading Qi Rui's telegram, Wang Mingshan's favor for Qi Rui immediately increased a lot. Qi Rui suggested that now take advantage of the cold weather to quickly vaccinate the Hungarian Red Army against a variety of common infectious diseases. Wang Mingshan found that he had forgotten this important event.

Vaccines are biological products and need to be stored and transported with care. Before the Hungarian Revolution really began to succeed, Wang Mingshan did not know when the Hungarian revolutionaries would succeed, so it was naturally impossible to solve this problem here. Now that the Hungarian Revolution is beginning to enter a rapid phase, the key is to improve the combat effectiveness of the fighters.

During the North American War, the troops of the Republic of China and the people in North America were vaccinated against smallpox, plague, tetanus, typhoid, cholera, meningitis and other vaccines. These anti-epidemic armies run in the veins of soldiers and people, so that everyone is not easy to get sick in those barren mountains and mountains. The U.S. Army does not have these treatments, and there are often uncontrollable epidemics in wars, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military.

After getting Qi Rui's effective advice, Wang Mingshan immediately complied. Let all the vaccine production plants in East Africa start work at once, work overtime to produce vaccines, and send them to Hungary for use by soldiers and people in the liberated areas.

Qi Rui didn't care if Wang Mingshan would listen to persuasion, he just came up with his own suggestions according to the regulations, what Qi Rui cared about was that the Military Commission proposed the issue of sending 500 advisers. Five hundred excellent advisers is also very unpleasant for the Min dynasty with two million troops. If it's a peace operation, it's nothing, let alone 500, 5,000 advisers. Hungary is now at war, and five hundred men will face death after being sent. Qi Rui felt very unhappy in his heart. The most important thing is that the comrades who took the initiative to sign up in the army were not highly evaluated, and many people were considered to be good deeds.

At the meeting of the military region, Qi Rui had to say: "I know that everyone is unwilling to see their favorite comrades take risks again, promotion or something is important, but human life is more important than promotion." Hungary is not our motherland, and the struggle for the liberation of Hungary is indeed great, but it is not to the point of fighting for your life. But if the central government has a request, we cannot disobey it. I hope you can find someone who is qualified. ”

The comrades of the party committee of the military region have similar ideas to Qi Rui, they are all people who have experienced war, and they do not have a child's play mentality about war. After a while, the chief in charge of combat training knew that he had to say something, and he asked: "Who is higher in the training level of the Hungarian Red Army than the Americans?" ”

"The comrades on the Hungarian side said that it was probably higher in the United States." Qi Rui replied. After saying this, Qi Rui saw that the negative emotions in the conference room were rapidly rising.

Fortunately, the chief of the combat training department is about 40 years old and has a lot of experience. He replied a little helplessly: "Then we don't need to find motorized infantry, but draw people from the instructors of the infantry school before the war." The techniques they have at their disposal are the best suited for Hungary. ”

This statement was immediately agreed by the command of the North American Military District, that the simple infantry and cavalry tactics were most suitable for the current situation in Hungary, and the level of understanding of war in the North American Military District had departed from the concept of old-style warfare. After having a common view, Qi Rui immediately sent a telegram to the central government, expounding the views of the North American Military Region.

The Central Military Commission has not had any war pressure recently, but the Hungarian revolution has aroused the interest of many people. After the telegram from the North American Military Region came, the comrades of the Central Military Commission immediately became unhappy. The reasons for the North American Military District are very good, but the conclusion is inexplicable in the eyes of the Central Military Commission. Finding comrades who do not have a good understanding of modern warfare to go to Hungary, is this selling scrap? Don't the bastard boys of the North American Military District claim to have the best understanding of war? Don't these guys claim to be able to fight well even without trucks?

Of course, the old guys of the Military Commission can understand the thoughts of those bastard boys. It was only at the beginning of 1898 that the Liberation Army sent advisers to Nicaragua and other countries returned. In order to deal with the US invading army, the Liberation Army sent thousands of advisers to several Caribbean countries, and in a few years suffered more than 300 casualties. In dealing with the United States, the comrades of the North American Military District had enthusiasm and consensus, but when they came to the aid of Hungary, which they could only find by looking at the map, the enthusiasm of the young comrades was lost. Everyone thinks that they are the most important. In fact, when the veteran guys of the Military Commission decided that Governor Wei Zedu was going to carry out a peaceful foreign policy, everyone had similar feelings. Since the Min Dynasty adopted a policy of peace, the life or death of foreigners had nothing to do with the Min Dynasty.

In the end, the members of the Military Commission also picked their sons, and they handed over the situation to Governor Wei Zedu, who was presiding over the three sessions. Wei Zedu wanted to snort coldly after reading the report given by the Military Commission. But Weeser didn't do it.

From 1775 to 1875, the life of the Chinese people was bitter. The 'prosperous Kang-Qian' era that only existed in the boast was already a rebellion every year, and then the Chinese population reached and exceeded the peak of China's land and productivity burden at that time, and the people's life was that Wang Xiaoer's New Year was not as good as every year. In 1875, the Republic of China began to migrate to the South China Sea and Northeast China and North America, and the state-led food supply system led to an increase in the per capita food supply of Chinese in Asia. From 1875 to 1895, the wars and expansions of the Min Dynasty never stopped. Such a compensatory response when peace has come is not surprising.

Finally, Weeser instructed that 'assistance to the Hungarian revolution is an important link in the promotion of the social-revolutionary movement. It may not have been successful in the future of the Hungarian Revolution, but the Liberation Party, as a party that believes in Marxism, cannot look back on this and feel that it would have been better if it had worked harder.'

The instructions were quickly sent back to the North American Military Region, and on New Year's Day in 1899, Qi Rui insisted on reading Governor Wei Zedu's instructions to everyone at the New Year's Day tea party. I have to say that this reason makes everyone confused. The word 'Guangfu' is an absolutely Chinese word, and it means to regain what the ancestors once had. In other words, even if you cross tens of thousands of miles by sea to North America, and then run tens of thousands of kilometers, from Alaska in the northwest corner of North America to Florida in the southeast corner, this is a family matter.

However, when it comes to Marxism, it is not a family matter, but an internationalism. Let this group of young soldiers shed blood and sacrifice for their families, even if everyone will mumble, they will not really refuse. But it is really unhappy for everyone to shed blood and sacrifice for a 'internationalism'.

It's just that the governor ordered, and no one dared to question or oppose the biggest patriarch of the Republic of China. After a while, in the end, the comrades of the North American Military Region still said that they would obey the orders of the governor. From beginning to end, except for the word 'internationalism' in Qi Ruinian's instructions, other comrades basically did not use this word.

Five hundred comrades arrived in Cyprus on 27 January 1899 and in Budapest on 8 February. At this time, the streets of Budapest were already waving red flags, which made the comrades of the Liberation Army finally have some familiarity. Those colorful foreign flags with non-red tones just give everyone a strange feeling.

Zhou Shuren, who is in charge of political work, feels the same as everyone else, but he looks left and right, and there is more enthusiasm in it. This young soldier, who was barely more than 163 tall, almost failed to become a soldier because of his height, and the conscription standard of the Republic of China has reached the minimum of 168, and in actual implementation, it has reached the level of 172. But fortunately, he was talented, went to college at the age of 12, and graduated from medical school at the age of 17. During his college years, he used Lu Xun as his pen name to publish many popular articles in magazines such as Story Club, Reader, and Novel Monthly. In the end, he was unusually recruited into the army. In the end, when everyone was not happy to go to Hungary, Zhou Shuren, who loved Pei Duofei's poetry, was able to go to Pei Duofei's hometown.

In Zhou Shuren's view, Budapest is quite beautiful, and the snow and Jiangnan style have their own victories. It wasn't until Zhou Shuren saw the overly exaggerated standing posture of the Hungarian Red Army that he was drilling, and he felt that something was not right. The Liberation Army has a 'disapprove' attitude towards anything exaggerated and flashy, and exaggerated stance means misleading athleticism and combat readiness. It takes too long to switch from this position to combat status. On the battlefield, the slightest delay can kill you.

After a few days with the Red Army, the party committee held a meeting, and then it was decided that everyone should be on the front line, starting with the squad and platoon commanders. The level of the Austro-Hungarian army was too bad, and the troops had to line up with their waists straight up, and this alone made the Liberation Army dumbfounded. After questioning the comrades of the Red Army and hastening the interrogation of the captured middle and senior officials, the advisory group came to the conclusion that the military training department of Austria-Hungary considered such training to be military and the most convenient to carry out.

Zhou Shuren only participated in a few days of training before he was transferred to the propaganda department. Because of his love for Pei Duofei's poetry, Zhou Shuren took linguistics at university. English, French, Latin, Hungarian, he passed the sixth-level exam in these four languages. The reason why they were sent to Hungary was because in the Liberation Army in North America, there were no more than ten people who had passed the sixth level of Hungarian.

After spending two days reading the propaganda manuscript that 'the socialist system is all right, it is good,' Comrade Zhou Shuren found the person in charge of the advisory group and expressed his views straight to the point, "I want to take over the propaganda work in Hungary."

The responsible comrade of the advisory group looked down at Zhou Shuren, the meaning of this is too clear, and it is difficult to misunderstand. So the voice of the comrade in charge was full of doubts, "Do you want to be the head of the Hungarian proclamation department?" ”

"At least it's on par with that." Zhou Shuren's voice had the sharpness of a young man.

"Why?" The person in charge of the advisory group was not surprised.

"When I was writing, I read a lot of propaganda-type things, and I found that our party's propaganda in the early days was the same as this matter, which was to bring down xx and live a new life. After the land division began, there were many highly targeted propaganda contents and various repertoire for the life after the land division. All this was not directed at the urban class, but at the peasant class. The quality of these shows is another story, but all the shows are really telling the people what happened. I think that's the essence of propaganda. Let everyone know the good and evil in the eyes of the revolutionary government, and let everyone know what they can get under the revolutionary government. However, it seems that the Hungarian comrades have no concept of this at all. Zhou Shuren said his thoughts in a fit of anger.

Zhou Shuren could see that the person in charge of the advisory group did not have this concept, but he seemed to understand what Zhou Shuren said. The brows of the comrade in charge of the advisory group couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he said, "Do you think you can take on such an important job?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shuren, who was already standing very straight, straightened his spine even more, and he replied loudly: "I think I can!" ”

Staring at Zhou Shuren for a while, the responsible comrade couldn't help but sigh, "Alas......, you go back and prepare according to your train of thought, and we will inform you about the rest of the matter." ”

Seeing Zhou Shuren leaving quickly, the responsible comrade sighed again. He opened his notebook and wrote something down on it. As a leading leader, note-taking is one of the ways that the organization teaches him. It's not just a matter of how good a star is better than a bad pen, most judgments are unlikely to be satisfactory, let alone correct. Giving those comrades who have the courage to apply for tasks a chance is relatively difficult to get things done. Moreover, although Zhou Shuren was young, he did leave a deep impression on the responsible comrades.

Every day, there was a summing up meeting, and after the responsible comrades had raised other questions at the meeting, they casually put forward a proposal for the establishment of a propaganda department. Unexpectedly, the Hungarian Communist Party immediately expressed the hope that the comrades of the Liberation Party could give help, because the Hungarian Communist Party now knows nothing about how to carry out cultural propaganda, and there are even more opinions on what to propagate. The comrades who participated in the revolution were workers and peasants, and the majority of the Hungarian intellectuals looked down on these poor people, and even if a few were willing to join, they demanded the leading positions of the real authorities as soon as they opened their mouths. This kind of guy was very disgusting to the Red Army. In the eyes of these Hungarian comrades, the comrades of the Liberation Party are educated and experienced, and they are probably able to do a good job in propaganda work.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the responsible comrade wanted to observe Zhou Shuren again, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. The Hungarian Red Army faced an extremely unfavorable situation, and all the energies of the troops were to focus on the war. Zhou Shuren did a good job, and naturally it was very good. Even if he did not do a good job, he would not necessarily fail earlier than the revolution. So Zhou Shuren was informed the next day that he was now the deputy head of the Propaganda Department and acting minister of the Hungarian Red Army.

Zhou Shuren's first order after coming to power was to 'organize the masses to study the Internationale in all the areas under his control'. The Propaganda Department worked overtime to print the lyrics and music leaflets of "The Internationale" with a calendar and distribute them in the control area.

The responsible comrades of the advisory group were really a little surprised to see Zhou Shuren start working so quickly. It's just that at this time, he didn't have time to manage so much, the Austro-Hungarian crusading force had completed its deployment, and the battle to determine the fate of both sides was about to begin.
