Looking at Li Ziyuan, who looked somewhat tired, Dong Ping nodded slightly. I opened my mouth to say something, but eventually swallowed it back. He now understands that Li Ziyuan will never compromise on the matter he proposed. But how do you explain it to those brothers when you go back yourself? Thinking of this, Dong Ping also had a headache.

Dong Ping's departure made Li Ziyuan sigh, and at the same time shook his head a little. For these problems, although Li Ziyuan has been mentally prepared, he did not think of solving these problems, but it is not a simple matter. The complexity of the situation made even Li Ziyuan, who had a lot of ideas, a headache.

It turns out that on the surface, it is a lineup, but the composition of the unit itself is extremely complex, and the real internal contradictions are even greater than other aspects. The mistrust of the Central Army, especially the vigilance against the infiltration of the Central Army, even exceeded the defense against the Japanese army.

Many motley armies went to the battlefield, and their combat deployment was not only aimed at the enemy in front of them, but also left behind to deal with their own friendly forces. And the Central Army looks down on the miscellaneous army, and at the same time is also on the battlefield, and from time to time there is also the idea of annexation. Not to mention a theater of operations, a group army, and even within an army, they are all wary of each other.

When Li Ziyuan came to this era, he realized that the reason for the final complete defeat and withdrawal from the mainland was definitely not an accident. To be precise, it should be the necessity of necessity. An army commander, even a division commander, must devote a great deal of energy to smoothing out the internal relations of his own troops.

The more skillful the commander-in-chief is, the faster the relationship between the troops will be smoothed out, and the quicker it will be to enter the state. But if you have a bad wrist, you will get into trouble if you don't do it well. Li Ziyuan once heard He Sanliang talk about a miscellaneous division that was annexed by the Central Army. Just because of the poor wrist of this division commander, relying on himself to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, he rejected the officers of his division after taking over the troops, and accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.

As a result, when they went to the battlefield, the two brigades and six regiments of the division did not use the unified order at all, and turned back in unison. Lost his division commander and division headquarters to the Japanese army in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that this division commander still had two caring people, desperately rescued him, and it would be difficult for this old man who was abandoned by his own troops, who was ineffective every day and shouted to the ground, and became a prisoner without firing a shot.

This kind of thing that seems like a big joke is actually happening. It's not just what I heard, but it's also in front of Li Ziyuan. Those people in the 27th Army, the Central Army, were very repulsive to the 40th Army, a ragtag army. Even if these people are recruits, they just look down on those who came from the Forty Army.

Now even if they are all eight roads, they are still very repulsed in their hearts. And those who came from the 40th Army obviously distrust those comrades-in-arms from the Central Army. There was even a situation where the class did not speak to each other. It's all from over there, at least on the surface, it's all in one camp. And that's just a part of all the contradictions.

At the same time, the two did not understand the side of the Eighth Route Army, and even disagreed with it in their hearts. And against the super miscellaneous puppet soldier, he despises and even hostile at the same time. People from the Central Army look down on soldiers from Wang's puppet army. But Li Ziyuan couldn't figure it out, why did people from the 40th Army also have this mentality?

You are all from the miscellaneous army, and even fundamentally speaking, you are all from the old Northwest Army. There is still some incense love, and this broken bone is still connected to the tendons. It's just that some of them have taken a detour for a while, and this is not what they say, how can this kind of thing happen now?

In addition to these contradictions, the cadres and soldiers from the Eighth Route in the army, especially those from the Red Army, who had fought with that side for many years before the Anti-Japanese War, did not trust these people. Others don't say it, but his deputy Zhang Zijian, this mentality is obvious.

Even for the fighters from that aspect, it is not as good as trusting the soldiers from the puppet army who came over anyway. This also gave Li Ziyuan a headache. This is also the main reason why Li Ziyuan now thinks that the troops are not suitable for the whole regiment to attack, and is eager to reorganize and train the troops.

Li Ziyuan felt that his troops were now a super hodgepodge. However, the troops, cadres and fighters of more than 1,000 people come from four aspects, and all kinds of contradictions and mistrust are intertwined. Several aspects are fused together, and in particular, several forces are themselves hostile to each other.

In addition, the Chinese themselves have the concept of holding each other according to their respective hometowns. This situation is unavoidable in that army. This sense of region has further deepened the complexity of this situation. Originally, the situation was tense, and many things could only be put aside for the time being in the face of survival.

Now that the situation has eased, these contradictions have erupted. It's just that pustules always have to come out, and it's better to come out at this time than to come out on the battlefield. It's just that how to squeeze this pustule is to think of a way to be as perfect as possible.

In addition to the fact that these people are recruits who have completed full training, the rest are definitely veterans. If it is smoothed out, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. At least it saves a lot of time than starting training as a recruit. But if it is not solved well, sooner or later this pustule will cause greater rights and wrongs.

The key depends on how he solves this problem, but Li Ziyuan just doesn't want to take the method of forcibly suppressing it. Because this kind of forcible suppression can only solve the problem for a while, but it is not a long-term solution at all. Since we want to solve the problem, we must solve it from the source. Otherwise, some things are still unavoidable.

At this time, Li Ziyuan, who was facing a predicament, understood why the troops were advancing behind enemy lines in the east. To reorganize and transform those messes, three or five hundred people dare to call the road army, and one hundred and ten people under them dare to call themselves commanders. As soon as the gun went off, the demand for political workers far exceeded the demand for military cadres.

There are also the old squad leaders who have repeatedly asked to go to the place, and He Huizhang, who always can't control his trouser belt, to cause trouble, plus the current drought and situation, all make it difficult for Li Ziyuan to calm down. As for his emotional mess, now for Li Ziyuan, it is the most irrelevant thing. Pinched his swollen temples, Li Ziyuan really felt a little big.

Li Ziyuan sat on the chair, his eyes closed, thinking about how to straighten out this matter one by one. It looks like it's very laid-back, but in fact, I haven't stopped thinking about it all the time. He knows these things, and if he straightens them out, he can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time. If you don't do it well, you're sitting on a crater.

The matter of the old squad leader can be delayed for a while, and even if he goes down, he is not in a hurry to do so. The most pressing task at the moment is to first resolve the problem of contradictions within the troops and to carry out production mobilization. However, the first is the root of all problems, and if it is not solved, everything else is basically impossible to talk about.

Thinking of the old squad leader, Li Ziyuan suddenly had an idea. To solve the ideological problems of Dong Ping's part, let the old squad leader give it a try. Sometimes, those veteran oils really need to be grinded by veterans. With the rich experience of the old squad leader, he is definitely the best candidate. If the key is on him, it depends on how he uses it.

After making up his mind, Li Ziyuan asked Da Li to run away, and found the old squad leader who had just left him for a short time. In fact, there is no need to run many ways, the old squad leader is his secretary at the regiment headquarters. It is said to be looking for it, that is, from this yard to that yard.

When the old squad leader heard Li Ziyuan looking for him, he moved quickly. However, there was some misunderstanding, and I thought that Li Ziyuan was looking for himself to agree to go to the place. As soon as the old squad leader entered the room, he said directly: "You understand? After thinking about it, I'll go and report to Chang Juan's girl. ”

Hearing the old squad leader's straightforwardness, Li Ziyuan could only smile bitterly: "Old squad leader, this matter can't be rushed." I also need to report to the head of the sub-district about what you are going to do. I don't have the right to approve your going to the place. I'm looking for you because there are two things I want to discuss with you, and I hope you can help me. ”

After saying this, Li Ziyuan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, handed it to the old squad leader, and lit it for him with his own hands. After a slight wording, he spoke: "Old squad leader, I don't need to talk about the current situation of the troops, and you are very clear. The composition is too complex, and although they are all veterans who have completed their training, they are very exclusive to each other. ”

"At present, if the situation of the troops cannot be smoothed out in a short period of time, the impact on combat effectiveness will be too great. To be honest, now I don't even dare to pull the troops out. It's not that I'm worried about whether anyone will desert, it's that the internal situation is not going well now, and I'm worried that the war won't start, and my own troops will fight first. ”

"You are a veteran, and you were the squad leader during the Hubei-Henan-Anhui period. I've heard that you had a lot of ways to lead your troops at that time, and you could adjust your stabbing soldiers. So, I hope you can help me do my work on this. Smooth out the interior as soon as possible, after all, we are troops, and we must be pulled out at any time. ”

"There is another thing, which is the matter of launching a large-scale production campaign. As you know now, the spring drought has been finalized. As for when it will rain and whether there is a chance to replant, no one knows. If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid this year's harvest will be enough. ”

"Our Eighth Route Army is not the kind of army that kills the people and raises the army, in order to reduce the burden of the people as much as possible in this year's famine years, our troops decided to carry out a production campaign. Even if self-sufficiency cannot be guaranteed, it can at least partially alleviate the local burden and ensure the nutrition and food of the troops. ”

"This matter is now temporarily under the responsibility of Lao Zhang. But Lao Zhang must be the deputy head of the regiment, and he still leads the team to fight when needed. I think this matter still needs you to arrest. You know, I haven't farmed since I was a child. Although they regarded me as a stranger, they wouldn't let me go farming. ”

"Political Commissar Ma is also a scholar, and he also knows how to farm at all. Although Lao Zhang was born as a peasant child, he joined the Red Army at the age of thirteen. Those of us who don't have much experience in doing this. So I hope it's up to you to take the helm of this matter. ”

"Old squad leader, even if you want to go to the place, but at the moment the troops and the place are in a difficult situation. If you stick to your place, can you wait until this famine is over? At least you can't look at me in a predicament and leave it alone. Anyway, you grew up watching me. ”
