Chapter 884: Guerrilla Republic (4)
According to Salinchkin's plan, this crucial enlarged meeting would be over because there was nothing more to discuss. Ran Wen is small? Say??.? r?anena`com
The outcome of this meeting was truly unexpected! He knew that Berekov would make a big move, and he would build a country with such a big move!
On the last day of the meeting, Salinchkin had to admire this Chinese, he was really good at speaking, and even said "incitement". There was really nothing wrong with his speech, what the people needed now was encouragement, a glimmer of light in the darkness.
As far as the current state of the guerrilla movement is concerned, Salinchkin is quite well aware. Before entering Novgomel, he personally visited Ponomarenko. The commander in chief of the guerrilla movement was quite pessimistic about the current situation of the guerrilla movement throughout the country.
"Doesn't the brilliant achievements of the partisans in southern Belarus show that the partisans and the guerrilla movement are flourishing?" Salinchkin once asked like this, but Ponomarenko thought that it was just a flash in the pan!
"Did they really achieve great results? Is the information reported to the supervisor true? Did they really take the initiative to launch a campaign and actually annihilate seven thousand German troops? ”
With this string of questions from Ponomarenko, Salinchkin landed in Novgomel. He witnessed the truth of all this, and also convinced Stalin and Ponomarenko of all this. Because of this man's skepticism and pessimism, Salinchkin kept silent at the meeting.
The reason why he vigorously supports Yang Mingzhi's theory of establishing a country is also to use practical actions to negate Ponomarenko's pessimistic ideas.
The meeting is completely over, and it stands to reason that today's dinner is another feast.
Salinchkin had no appetite at all, and he was eager to get to work right away and devote himself to the construction of a new country. So, it was Berekov who proposed the creation of a partisan republic, and he had to be there too!
For Yang Mingzhi, it is very disappointing that he can't eat meat, or go to his wife early. But this is Salinchkin's order, even if he is the commander of the army, he must go, and he is the only one who invited.
What's more, that person really intends to put the guerrilla republic into practice, how can he, the proposer, be absent!
It must have been a private meeting, and it was even a bit of a secret conversation. Could it be that the man took out some hidden documents?
With anticipation and worry, Yang Mingzhi came to Salinchkin's office alone.
……
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Salinchkin, who was sitting quietly, put on his small glasses and said, "No need to knock on the door!" Please come in directly! ”
"Then I'll be rude!"
Yang Mingzhi entered the room with a stiff face, because there was no electricity at all, and the night lighting was all based on kerosene lamps.
The small wooden office was dimly lit, and a middle-aged man with a glittering head was staring with bright eyes.
"Okay! Berekov, sit down in front of me! With that, Salinchkin waved his hand and beckoned his secretary and clerk, even the janitorial staff, to leave the room together.
The room was empty, and only two men remained!
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but look left and right, somewhat uncomfortable.
But Salinchkin felt good, he stood up, poured two glasses of red wine himself, and pushed one in front of Yang Mingzhi.
"Come on! Drink it! Don't be inhibited! I don't have any major news for you, so please don't be a little nervous. ”
Hearing him say this, Yang Mingzhi was not only not relieved, but even more suspicious. This man was serving tea and pouring water, and deliberately said "no big deal", really no big deal?
couldn't care so much, Yang Mingzhi had to pretend to have a few drinks elegantly, and at this moment, Salinchin finally opened his mouth.
"Berekov, about the creation of a partisan Soviet Socialist Republic, I will send a telegram to Moscow after the meeting."
Halfway through his words, Yang Mingzhi almost squirted out all the wine, and his eyes widened and asked, "So fast?" Is there a two-hour adjournment? ”
"What? Do you have to procrastinate until tomorrow? Salinchkin smiled and shook his fingers, "Originally, this meeting was going to be held a few days ago, and it was already a waste of time to delay it now!"
As he said this, he reverted to the style of an official.
"The biggest purpose of this meeting is to define our strategy for the future! In fact, Comrade Stalin and Comrade Ponomarenko did not have so much self-confidence in the partisan movement as a whole, at least for now. They always believed that the series of achievements of the 284th Division was just a flash in the pan! You also know that for ten months you have been fighting in this swamp, as far north as Lechitsa and as far south as Chenoby, and after all, you are only leading your troops to fight in a small area! ”
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "What you said is true, even if we fight a few battles, our comprehensive strength is terrible!" ”
"So! This is the current predicament facing guerrilla warfare, in which the guerrilla forces in the vast occupied areas are disorganized and lack coordination with each other. So the leaders want us to integrate as much as possible! So you also know that the leader awarded you the rank of lieutenant general, and the army has the number of a group army!
However, your ideas are more advanced and seem more reasonable!
At the meeting, you have made clear the rationale and significance of building a new country! You convinced me, and you convinced the entire Novgomel newspaper! All your reasons have been recorded, and just now, all the telegram drafts were sent to Moscow.
Therefore I have brought you here to explain it to you. ”
After hearing this, Yang Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "It's finally going to become a fact!" History is still going in the right direction. ”
"Hey! What did you say? What is the direction of history? Salinchkin continued: "Berekov, cheer up! Now that the telegram has been sent, if the new state is recognized by the Supreme Soviet and allowed to be admitted as a new union republic! The burden on your shoulders and I is even greater! ”
"Huh? Is it? Yang Mingzhi straightened his back and continued to listen to the man.
"I am very convinced that the leaders and the National Defense Council supported the creation of a guerrilla republic, and Comrade Ponomarenko would certainly make a big fuss, and TASS sent a message back to the whole world announcing that the Soviet people, who were fighting under the iron heel of the Nazis, had established a new union republic for themselves! There is no reason why they should not support this kind of thing that boosts the confidence of the military and the people.
And now, I want to say something else, and that is the personnel changes after the establishment of the state. ”
At this point, Salinchkin could not hide his excitement, he patted his chest and said: "Even if this is a wartime state, it is a union republic under the Soviet Union after all. Since it is a state, it is necessary to have our own Supreme Soviet, our own ministries.
So, I mean, if nothing else. In the future, I will serve as the first secretary of the guerrilla republic!
And you! Will serve as Minister of Defense! ”
