Chapter 494: This Mountain Must Be Conquered
The deputy director of the Political Department, today's addiction to cigarettes is really a bit big, and this cigarette is almost one after another. Halfway through the words, he lit another cigarette and looked at Li Ziyuan in the smoke. stared at him for a long time before he spoke: "You are also clear about our actual situation. Seizures alone will not be enough to meet the need. ”
"After a battle, the number of wounded is hundreds or thousands, and the Western medicine you handed in is not enough for even the most basic consumption. However, our intelligence officers found a large number of penicillin and sulfonamides imported from the United States secretly selling penicillin and sulfonamides with their markings torn off in the Japanese-occupied areas. ”
However, these sales channels of Western medicine that flowed into enemy-occupied areas were strictly controlled by the Japanese. In order to get some Western medicine, whether in the Japanese-occupied areas or the nationalized areas, our people have paid a great price. And the price of one or two pieces of gold, we really can't afford it. ”
"The bandages in the military hospital are washed and used repeatedly, which increases the risk of infection for the wounded. Comrade Li Ziyuan, we need to understand their smuggling channels and try by all means to get some medicines and other supplies. According to the information we have, medicine accounts for a large share of the US aid materials over there. ”
"If we can really catch the front line through this Li Zikang, it can be regarded as alleviating our urgent need. At the same time, we also need to grasp the infiltration of the central and military commanders over there into our Taihang base area. The military command organization has always been very tight, and it is very difficult for us to penetrate into them. These things are not very easy for us to obtain. ”
"We can only know these things if we pry his mouth open. But for this old fritter, many methods have no effect. So I came to you today to make sure that this person has to explain certain things. If something in his confession is confirmed, you will need your help this time. ”
The deputy director of the Political Department said what he meant, and Li Ziyuan heard it. However, Li Ziyuan is still a little immature in terms of political means. But there are some things he can still see the weight. Although the chief in front of him said more in the first request, the first request was not the focus of this time to find himself.
If we say the first requirement, it is just that the military region wants to beat rabbits in order to open up one more channel for the source of medicine and try its best to broaden the supply channels of medicine. Then the second request, I'm afraid it is really the real intention of the superiors to find themselves this time and make them so nervous.
Although under strict confidentiality regulations, Li Ziyuan knows very well what to ask and what not to ask. But there are some things, which does not mean that Li Ziyuan does not know at all. Penicillin and sulfonamides, which are drugs that need to be imported throughout China right now. It is true that there is a considerable lack of bases for export, but it is not a mere means of seizure.
Although Taihang Mountain is a bit far from the rear, it is not as close to the core city as Pingjin as the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in the north. But at least it is not far from Luoyang, where the headquarters of the First Theater of Operations is located in Chongqing. With the capabilities and means of the intelligence department of the military region, it is indeed difficult to get a large batch of Western medicine, but it is not difficult to get some from there in small quantities.
In particular, although penicillin is more expensive and more difficult to get, it can still get some of it. At least get some from Luoyang, it's still no problem. However, the control over there is also strict, and the military commander still has some means. In the middle of the transportation, they have to pass through enemy-occupied areas, which is more dangerous.
Therefore, Li Ziyuan thinks that this time the superiors are looking for him, and the second request is the real intention. Of course, his guess would not have been uttered. After hesitating for a moment, Li Ziyuan said: "Chief, I don't know what the reason for this person who has always denied me as a family member is that I am his younger brother at this time." ”
"I always felt that there was something weird behind this guy's doing. But one thing is for sure, it's definitely not to recognize my brother. I don't believe that this person who looked down on me the most back then, and who also gave me the most hardships, still has any brotherly feelings in my heart. ”
"I don't know exactly what he did all these years after I left that place. There can be no brotherhood between us, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince it. And it can be solved by leaders at all levels, I'm afraid it's not a bone to gnaw on. ”
"Work, I can help with it. But I don't know how far it will go. You know, I'm a soldier who has been with the army since I was fifteen. If you want to say that there is nothing wrong with fighting on the battlefield, but I really don't have the ability to intrigue. ”
"I can only assist the chief with some work, and I don't have the ability to do it any more. I'm a straight person, that person is from a military command, and I can't compare to playing with my heart. Chief, all I can say is that I did my best. As for how far it will go, I don't know now. ”
"But, chief, that king can be left behind by all means I can. It's a sapper talent, I think if there is no big problem, should he be released? There is a shortage of people trained in professional engineers in our army, and I finally got such a baby bump, but don't beat the mandarin ducks. ”
Regarding Li Ziyuan's somewhat bargaining words, the veteran deputy director of the Political Department said with a serious face: "You kid don't play tricks on me here, you not only have to do this job, but you must also do it well." In battlefield parlance, you must take this hill for me. ”
"As for that Wang Jun, there are two main reasons for letting him come this time, one is the political trial, this is necessary, you don't need me to say that you know. The second one is also mainly related to that person, and we need to know more about it. When the investigation is completed, if there are no problems, we will naturally not embarrass him. Our discipline, do you still need me to say it again? ”
"But you kid have to remember me, too. Even if Wang Jun really has no problem, he doesn't necessarily have to be transferred back to your troops. There is a shortage of this kind of talent in the whole army, and even the division headquarters lacks this kind of professional talent. Where will he be transferred, this time it depends on your performance, if you don't do well, maybe this person will change you away. ”
"Now, go meet this big brother of yours. Remember, when the work is done, there is bargaining capital. If you don't do it well, don't think about anything. This time, this task is an order from our political commissar himself, you kid will take it easy for me. Mess up the pot, I'll see how you explain it to the commissar. ”
"Also, when you're done with your work, go to the General Hospital and bring you and your guard's horses back. Your horses and your virtue are almost impossible to raise at the General Hospital. When you threw the horse at someone's house, you kid was nowhere to be found. Now life is already difficult, who can feed those horses? They are not field troops there, and they can still gain something from attacking the outside line. ”
After listening to the words of the director of the Political Department, Li Ziyuan could only leave the residence of the Political Department with a bitter face. Under the leadership of an officer, he walked slowly towards someone's temporary station. However, on the way, the officer of the Political Department, who obviously knew the details, looked at Li Ziyuan, who had a sad face, but smiled and said, "Lao Li, are you so worried?" ”
"You are now the favorite general under our division commander and political commissar, even if you really don't complete the task, the political commissar will criticize you at most. You are such a capable fighter, can the superiors really remove you because of your kid's deception on the file? Don't be too nervous, you kid. ”
"Besides, you're not a big deal. At most, when I joined the army, I didn't tell too much truth. A fifteen-year-old child, no matter how many eyes there are, how much can he go. Who is not stupid enough to send you a fifteen-year-old child to be a spy of something. Besides, you have proven yourself to be absolutely reliable on the battlefield all these years. ”
Listening to the persuasion of this political department officer, Li Ziyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Old Qian, your old boy really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks." I don't fucking know that I've tried everything to escape from that family, and after so many years, I'm still implicated by those guys. Grandma's, these people are like nightmares, I can't run anywhere. ”
"That bastard, it's over when you explain your own affairs, why did you make such a move at this time and drag me into the water. Lao Tzu was angry enough with him in that family, but he didn't expect to join the army, and he still had to be angry with him. You don't think I'm a loss. Concealing superiors, this is not a trivial matter. ”
Looking at Li Ziyuan's helplessness, the Qian officer smiled and said, "Okay, our troops are now all over the world, what kind of cadres are there?" Not to mention other base areas, as far as the families of the cadres in our Taihang base area are concerned, there are some who have high positions there. ”
"My father and brother are major generals and lieutenant generals in Chongqing, and even generals are not uncommon, even if their families are south of Nanjing. Especially those cadres who came from intellectuals, how many of them are children from peasant backgrounds? If children from peasant backgrounds can go to college, what rebellion have we made all these years? ”
"Also, don't look at me like that, boy. Except for normal schools, the tuition and living expenses of that university are not allowed to exceed hundreds of dollars a year. Peasant and industrial families, who can afford it? That's what I'm doing in the Political Department, and I don't know about some of the files? It's not a big deal that an older brother from a military commander pops up on your side. ”
"It's me, and my family was also a well-known landowner in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area. After my parents were beaten up as a local tyrant, the army took me with me when they saw that I was a half-old child with nowhere to go, and they followed the army all the way. Am I also from an exploitative family? Although my parents are gone, there are still some relatives over there. ”
"At least a few of my uncles have run out, and they are also famous local tyrants. The two uncles were also in the Sichuan army and were not small officers. Just after crossing the Yellow River into the southeast of Jin, I also met one of them, a major general of the Sichuan army. Another uncle, I heard that he was still a division commander over there. If I hadn't hid quickly, I would have almost not been transferred back to Sichuan to do united front work. ”
"You said that my family situation is not more complicated than yours, and it is so complicated that the superiors have the intention to transfer me back to do united front work. I'm not worried about anything, are you worried about a fart? If people from our families are like you, how can we do this job? Our troops are not the same as they used to be. ”
"Besides, your brother is just a major over there, and he is just a small leader standing below. To say that a major general or colonel is okay, it can be regarded as a high-ranking officer over there. Alright, what do I have to testify to you? ”
