Back in the office, Luo Ronghuan said to Liu Yimin: "Commander, you are deliberately avoiding me, aren't you?" ”

Liu Yimin hurriedly said that the political commissar had misunderstood, how could there be such a possibility?

Luo Ronghuan chased after him and said: "Since the regiment commander does not admit that he is deliberately evasive, then I won't say anything else." I just want to ask you now, do you feel that the atmosphere in the Legion Department is very abnormal? ”

Liu Yimin nodded.

Luo Ronghuan said: "I came to work in the Seventh Army Corps because you recommended it to the Central Committee by name, it stands to reason that with the position of the Seventh Army Corps as the main force in our Red Army, there are many people who want to come here to be political commissars, and I am only the deputy director of the Political Department of the First Army Corps, no matter which aspect I consider, it will not be my turn Luo Ronghuan." There are many better and more suitable comrades than me. You can recommend me, I am honestly afraid, I don't know which aspect I perform well, so that you who have never met can take a fancy to me. But since I'm here, I'm bent on cooperating with you to do a good job and build an invincible hero. But the current situation is that due to the emotional entanglement with two or several women, you are depressed, which in turn affects the morale of the cadres and soldiers, and they are all like frosted eggplants. If this continues, it will inevitably lead to a situation in which sincerity and benevolence are weakened. It won't be long before the once invincible and terrified Red Seventh Army will become a sick tiger and a dead tiger, and if we encounter Xue Yue's Corps again, I am afraid that it will not be us who will capture the prisoners, but the white bandits. ”

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "The political commissar is serious, the people in this world who can capture the two of us have not been born yet!" ”

Luo Ronghuan kept a straight face: "Don't give me a call haha." In the past few days, I have thought carefully about it, and I feel that I, as a political commissar, am very incompetent, and in many respects I have blindly accommodated you and have not carried out strong ideological work for you. I have already written a written review to the Central Committee and asked the Central Committee to transfer me back to the First Army Corps and send a higher-ranking and more capable comrade to serve as the political commissar of the Seventh Army Corps. ”

Liu Yimin was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Political Commissar Luo, why are you doing this?" ”

Luo Ronghuan didn't speak, his face expressionless.

Liu Yimin thought that he really didn't want to see the political commissar in the past two days, and he felt guilty, so he said: "Political Commissar Luo, I have really been in a bad mood in the past two days, and I have snubbed my comrades. I'm sorry, I'll just wait for me to adjust my mood. I ask the political commissar to take back the inspection to the Central Committee, and the leading body of our Seventh Army Corps cannot be scattered because of these trivial matters. ”

Luo Ronghuan shook his head: "I don't think it's a trivial matter. On the first day of junior high school, I persuaded you because you were only in the selection period, and I tried to convince you. But after you came back from Huaqingchi yesterday, what you said to Director Cai exposed your thoughts. It turns out that you can't give up this one, you can't lose that, you step on two boats, and you can think of both. even thought about waiting for the success of the revolution to ask the Central Committee for instructions, and took Ni Hua and Tang Xingying abroad to live a life of two wives. I was shocked when I found out! Excuse me, how do you have such rotten thoughts? What do you think of us [***] and the Red Army? ”

Liu Yimin lowered his head and muttered, "Isn't there anything I can't do." ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "It's an excuse to say that there is no way, whether it is Ni Hua or Tang Xingying, they all love you wholeheartedly, but they will never die without you." They're so pure, and you're trying to be eclectic. This is extremely selfish and filthy possessiveness at work, and you are blaspheming their feelings. Comrade Tang Xingying did the right thing, I support her, you don't deserve her pure love. ”

Liu Yimin couldn't imagine that Luo Ronghuan was usually loyal, kind, and gentle, but the words he said at this time were like knives, poking straight into his heart, sitting in a daze, and he couldn't reflect half a sound.

Luo Ronghuan didn't look at Liu Yimin, and continued: "We advocate freedom of love and marriage. That means that everyone has the right to pursue their own marital happiness, you can love, you can not love, you can love A, you can love B, but this does not mean that you can marry two wives at the same time. You go to the Red First Army and ask, do you see anyone who thinks like you? You may also know that some people in our Red Army have married several wives, but if you carefully implement it, except for those who escaped from arranged marriages, is there anyone who has two wives at the same time? What do you want to do, do you want to be a warlord or do you want to be a landlord? ”

Maybe he was a little too anxious, Luo Ronghuan couldn't help but stop and rest, picked up a teacup by himself, poured water from the thermos, took a sip, and continued: "On the question of choosing Ni Hua or Tang Xingying, Lao Cai and I have said what should be said, but you can't listen to it." This question may seem like a matter of your personal feelings, but in fact it contains a question of your revolutionary stance, revolutionary will, and values. Yes, I admit that Ni Hua is slightly better than Tang Xingying in terms of appearance, cultural accomplishment, temperament and demeanor, but there is one point, Ni Hua is not as good as Tang Xingying for the time being. That is, Tang Xingying is a loyal Red Army soldier who has been tested by the war, and Ni Hua is just a doctor who met Pingshui who operated on you. Tang Xingying can block bullets for you, and Ni Hua may too, but Tang Xingying consciously blocks bullets for you, and Ni Hua can only subconsciously block bullets for you for the time being. Don't say any of this, I'll just ask you one question, today Song Meiling's cousin came, and you fell in love with her at first sight. Then tomorrow the sister of the emperor or the empress comes, what are you going to do, do you want to fall in love with her at first sight? You must know that the younger sister of Emperor and Empress is probably more cultivated, more versatile, and more educated than Ni Hua. In that case, it will not only be our Red Army soldiers who do not want you, but I am afraid that the 40,000 people in all of China will not want you! ”

Liu Yimin thought to himself, where is this? Can Ni Hua and Emperor Ben's sister get together?

Liu Yimin was about to refute, when he heard Luo Ronghuan say again: "Of course, Ni Hua and Emperor Yuben's sister have no comparable surnames. What I want to say is, why didn't you know Ni Hua's life experience after you didn't take precautions? What about no hatred? Don't you know what kind of team our Red Army is? Don't you know that the primary goal of our revolution is to overthrow the class represented by the family from which Ni Hua was born? What about your revolutionary position? What about your revolutionary fighting spirit? In your eyes, you only saw Ni Hua's beauty, cultivation, and temperament, but you didn't see or think that our Red Army's revolution was first to reform the life of the family that Ni Hua was born in! Our interests and those of her family are eternally opposed. Although it is possible for Ni Hua to embark on the revolutionary road, in my opinion, you just fell in love with her, and it should be after she broke with her family and embarked on the revolutionary road, not now. But you act the opposite. Don't think that others don't know what you and Ni Hua did in Huaqingchi, you have to understand, this kind of thing doesn't need to be inquired, as long as it's a person, as long as you have a long head and think about it a little, you can understand why you and Ni Hua delayed the trip, staying in Huaqingchi for a few days, and you didn't even rush back to greet Vice Chairman Zhou for such a big thing as Xi'an. Before this happened, you gathered all the Central Red Army together, asked everyone, and saw if anyone could have thought that our brave and warlike corps commander would actually sleep with the cousin of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, what is the difference between this and being captured by the enemy? ”

As soon as Liu Yimin wanted to say that Ni Hua was different from what you said, Luo Ronghuan waved his hand to stop him: "Let me finish speaking." Of course, Ni Hua is a good girl, her personal qualities are very good, and she can be regarded as a meritorious service to our Red Army. We [***] people are not so narrow-minded and will not refuse Ni Hua to betray his family and join the revolution. The problem is that this thing reflects on your mind. This is no longer a simple question of young men and women falling in love, but a question of who you love, who you support, and whose position you choose. You are now the party secretary and commander of the Red Seventh Army Corps, and your thinking and style directly affect the development of the Seventh Army Corps. I know that you have always wanted to train the troops to become the backbone of our party and our army, and to contribute to the cause of the people's revolution. And you have been doing very well before, creating miracles in the history of our Red Army. However, this incident shows that you must strengthen your mental study and exercise. I can tell you unceremoniously, don't look at Ni Hua so good and beautiful, the vast majority of our Red Army cadres are single, but the entire Central Red Army cadres, especially the cadres of the First Red Army Corps, will not fall in love with her. You're the only one who will fall in love with her. ”

Liu Yimin thought about it, don't say it, what this political commissar said may be really right, with the thoughts of those old Red Army, when he saw Ni Hua, he couldn't wait to arrest her immediately, where would he think of loving her. Only I, a person from the 21st century, would not take Ni Hua's complicated family relationship into account. Forget it, don't say anything, just listen to the commissar finish talking.

Seeing that Liu Yimin did not refute, Luo Ronghua said: "Our Red Army represents the interests of the toiling masses of workers and peasants, and our goal is to establish a political power that represents the interests of the workers and peasants, not just to fight for political power like the peasant uprisings in history." Historically, the leaders of the peasant uprisings often forgot about the toiling masses who supported them in their fight against the country, and were busy accepting property, princesses, princesses, and befriending the powerful. We [***] people will never be like this, and our revolutionary character and revolutionary fighting spirit must not fade at any time. For the sake of our goals, we have established an iron political discipline that no one can violate. After all, Ni Hua made it clear that he wanted to join the Red Army, and he really did the work for us, so I can't say that you violated our political discipline. However, you have to be clear, how special is Ni Hua's identity? It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the princess of today's China. Haven't you started to receive the princess before our revolution has won? You can tell me that her surname is Ni and not Jiang, but you can't deny her status as close as flesh and blood in Song Meiling's heart! Let me tell you, during this period of time, in order to save Ni Hua, Sister Song Meiling and Sister Song Qingling have contacted our party many times through special relations, asking her to be treated well. Vice Chairman Zhou also gave an explanation to you. Originally, we could have taken advantage of this situation to urge Soong Meiling to exert pressure on Chiang Kai-shek and force Chiang Kai-shek to negotiate seriously with us. However, because of your relationship with her, this favorable condition disappears. This happened to you, because you joined the Red Army for a short time, received little discipline education from the Red Army, and made an immortal feat in bringing our Red Army back to life, so the Central Committee did not investigate it. If it had happened to me, I could tell you for sure that I was already in the Interrogation Room of the Security Bureau. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Political commissar, this Ni Hua has joined the Red Army, and she is already the vice president of our field hospital. We should see her as our comrade, and we should no longer see her as our enemy. ”

Luo Ronghuan saw that Liu Yimin was vibrating, and he was angry: "Yes, from Chengdu to Xi'an, under your influence, Ni Hua expressed his stance that he joined the Red Army, and his positive surname is very high. But if you tell her now that you completely disown her, will she still be able to join the Red Army? If you don't believe it, I will publish a statement in the newspaper tomorrow to see whether Ni Hua will immediately return to Xi'an to join the Red Army or immediately go to the United States and never come back. Therefore, the test that Ni Hua faces is still to come, and relying on your love alone may not necessarily ensure that she will truly embark on the revolutionary road. ”

Liu Yimin was silent, and he was also imagining in his heart, if he really made a statement in the newspaper as the political commissar said, I really don't know what Ni Hua would do?

Luo Ronghuan saw that Liu Yimin was pondering, so he said: "Maybe in the heart of the corps commander, he feels that falling in love with Ni Hua is a victory of personal love, and if it is publicized, maybe it can also have the effect of striking a head-on blow to Chiang Kai-shek." But have you ever thought about what Chiang Kai-shek's expression would be if he knew about your relationship with Ni Hua? I guess I'm going to be excited, and maybe have a drinking party to celebrate. He offered a reward for a hundred thousand oceans and did not kill the Red Army general, who was captured by his wife's cousin, you say, he was proud? Of course, I am sure that our corps commander is good and could not be dragged away by Chiang Kai-shek. But can you dispel the worries of other comrades? ”

Liu Yimin sighed in his heart, here! This can't be ambiguous, and he immediately said: "Political commissar, I can't agree with what you say, although I have inconsiderate things about falling in love with Ni Hua, and I also have young and impulsive situations, but Ni Hua is a pure girl, and our love is also pure." In particular, my loyalty to the Party and to the Red Army cannot be doubted. Everything I did was aimed at strengthening the Red Army as soon as possible and achieving victory as soon as possible. I have shortcomings and accept your criticism, but I will never allow anyone to doubt my revolutionary motives and loyalty to the Party! That is an injustice to me! ”

Luo Ronghuan said: "Okay, what the corps commander said is good. The contribution of the corps commander to the Red Army, the central leadership and comrades saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. Everyone also believed that the corps commander was a loyal general of our Red Army. However, Ni Hua's matter is not over just because she is gone, this matter is temporarily kept secret, and the number of people who know about it is limited. If it is made public, it will inevitably cause a great shock to the ranks of our Red Army and seriously affect the image of the corps commander and our Red Seventh Army Corps. It may even give the impression that our revolutionary will is weakened and that our revolutionary stance is not firm. I'm thinking, how could the legion commander be so good, how could he fall in front of Ni Hua's love? After thinking about it, I think that since the corps commander joined the Red Army, he has won successive battles, and he has developed a sense of pride, and it seems that he has a kind of spirit of being the best in the world. If you don't care about anything, you naturally ignore the discipline of our Red Army. Especially last night, Sister Deng only persuaded you a few words, and you walked away, and you couldn't even hear Sister Deng chasing you and shouting at you. Legion Commander, you should know who Sister Deng is, right? She is not only the wife of Vice Chairman Zhou, she is also a veteran revolutionary of our party. How old were you when she joined the revolution? You go and ask Captain Lin, Political Commissar Nie, and Captain Peng to see which of them dares to disrespect Sister Deng? You have to apologize to Sister Deng for this matter. Also, do a review of your recent ideological performance at the party committee. ”

Liu Yimin thought about it, he was flustered by Tang Xingying's decision yesterday, and he really didn't hear Sister Deng's shout. Thinking about falling in love with Ni Hua, it is really not well considered, I have crossed over, in the original era, the great power attitude has already tolerated and digested the hatred of the Kuomintang, and the Jiang Song family has become a topic of conversation after dinner. This time is different, it is definitely a mortal enemy, and he dares to fall in love with Song Meiling's cousin, in the ranks of the Red Army, he is indeed suspected of risking the world's disapproval. Fortunately, since I crossed over, to a certain extent, I have not only changed history, but also affected people's concepts. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost my freedom by now. Thinking about it again, I actually wanted to marry both Ni Hua and Tang Xingying, it was simply whimsical and shameless. In the original era, although the phenomenon of keeping a second wife and a mistress was very common, it was also the work of garbage, so didn't the cow president of the United States dare not do it? When did you relax your mental defense to such an extent that you want to be like all that garbage?

What kind of team is the Red Army? It was a team whose revolutionary will was stronger than steel, otherwise it would not have gone through hardships and become stronger and stronger. In the eyes of Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, his behavior is definitely a kind of depravity and betrayal. The reason why they worked hard to persuade themselves was definitely out of comradeship. I have indeed performed too badly in the past few days, and the two women have made themselves swoon. If this continues, what ideals and struggles are there to talk about? It seems that Luo Ronghuan is right when he says that he needs to seriously strengthen his ideological training, but he cannot bring the ideology of the original era to the current combat life, because that will certainly bring heavy losses to the Red Army.

Since history has proven that the Red Army is a contingent whose will is stronger than steel, what reason does a senior leading cadre of this contingent have not strengthened and improved?

Thinking of this, Liu Yimin said sincerely: "Political commissar, your criticism has helped me a lot. Yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding, but it does show that I have not strengthened my self-cultivation enough. After a while, I went to apologize to Sister Deng and reviewed my thoughts with Vice Chairman Zhou. Rest assured, I've already thought about it and will concentrate on my work. Our Red Army has a long way to go, and I will lead the troops to make meritorious contributions to the Red Army. As for the matter of reviewing at the party committee, I will not be able to save face, and it will not be conducive to the command of the troops. I'll make a review to Vice Chairman Zhou, and you see if it's okay. As for your review to the Central Authorities, I ask you to withdraw it. I am willing to fight side by side with you and bring our Seven Legions well. ”

Luo Ronghuan asked: "Then are you marrying Ni Hua or Tang Xingying?" ”

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said firmly: "I'm sorry Tang Xingying, although I now know how precious and important she is to me, but she is too sad and desperate, even if I want to marry her, it is impossible." I don't want to bother her anymore, let her find new happiness! As for Ni Hua, she has been gone for three years, and it is unrealistic and uninteresting to say that she loves or not. Just give up and don't mention her again. I can seriously say that from today onwards, I will no longer think about feelings. If Ni Hua can come back in the future and sincerely participate in the revolution, then I will not give up from the beginning, promise to marry her, live wholeheartedly, and fight for our cause together. If she does not come back, or if she does come back but is unwilling to break with her family and join the revolution, it is not a question of love or not, but of the enemy. ”

Luo Ronghuan asked again: "Then what if Tang Xingying still loves you and is willing to marry you?" ”

Liu Yimin said seriously: "Don't think about it, I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." ”

Luo Ronghuan was a little depressed: "After talking for a long time, you said to give up and don't talk about feelings, but in fact you still chose Ni Hua." Commander, I plead for you! I'm sorry, I can't be the political commissar of the Seventh Legion. Please give the order to send troops to send me back to headquarters. ”

Liu Yimin was also a little anxious: "Political Commissar Luo, how can you be like this?" I said that if I don't talk about feelings, I don't talk about feelings, and I do what I say. As for Ni Hua, if she comes back in the future, I can't do without her, right? If only she didn't come back, so much the better. I'm celibate all my life, isn't that okay? ”

Luo Ronghuan said stubbornly: "No! As I said earlier, this is a matter of position, a matter of principle, and you have to express your position! Otherwise, I will leave immediately. This matter is non-negotiable. ”

Liu Yimin felt that Luo Ronghuan was simply inexplicable, didn't he have to force himself to marry Tang Xingying? The girl is angry now, even if she wants to marry her, I'm afraid she won't want to. She was so young and innocent, and in her heart, she probably thought she was a villain now. Luo Ronghuan didn't know about this situation, why was he so stubborn and insisting?

After calming down and thinking about it seriously, since he joined the Red Army, he has been brave and loyal, and he can't say how outstanding his military exploits are, but he has indeed won glory for the Red Army. With the mind of [***], Vice Chairman Zhou, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, his emotional entanglement with Ni Hua and Tang Xingying, although it is said that the thinking is not very pure and should be reviewed, but after all, there is no fact of monogamy, is it just staying on the idea, this kind of life is a trivial matter, there are many times in the history of the party, and I haven't seen anyone who is unlucky because he talked about one more object? He is the chairman's favorite general, Luo Ronghuan is the chairman's most trusted person, and this political commissar was chosen by himself, how could he be more serious with himself because of this matter!

Liu Yimin, who was puzzled, couldn't help but look at Luo Ronghuan, and his simple face turned out to be resolute, as if there was a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal was reached.

Liu Yimin stood up, thinking about it while smoking, and suddenly remembered the position and principle that Luo Ronghuan said just now. Thinking about it again, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His own Red Seventh Army Corps is now three main divisions and four reading divisions, and the troops directly under the legion have also surpassed the main divisions of other legions, and the firepower equipment far exceeds that of other troops. Although the four reading divisions are not yet in number, and the number of people is quite different, they have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and they can be fully equipped with a little time. Moreover, the troops were pulled up by themselves, most of the cadres were the lost Red Army cadres they had saved, and the soldiers were basically captured soldiers. It can be said that no one can command this army except itself. Whether it is the political commissar, the chief of staff, or the director of the political department, without their own explicit authorization, I am afraid that they will not be able to transfer even a regiment. Cai Zhong's party committee and himself had already made it clear that it was impossible for the Red Seventh Army to be led by Song Meiling's cousin-in-law. And he insisted on marrying Ni Hua, now, isn't the problem!

In addition, he was bent on strengthening the Red Army, and most of the decisions made on the battlefield were made on the spot, and the expansion of troops and the appointment of cadres were not arbitrary and arbitrary, resulting in an established fact? In the eyes of those who have a heart, I am afraid that they have long thought that they regard military orders and military discipline as child's play. If it weren't for his successive victories and the rapid development of his troops, he might have been merged into other units long ago.

The more he thought about it, the more nervous Liu Yimin felt, and his hand holding the cigarette trembled unconsciously, and he extinguished the cigarette with hatred.

Luo Ronghuan said: "Commander, calm down. It's not good for you to be so young and smoke so much. ”

Liu Yimin ignored him, lit a cigarette with a trembling rope and smoked it, silently sorting out his thoughts.

When I met the Red Army after crossing over, I wanted to fight for the country's reading power and national liberation for the rest of my life, but I didn't come to participate in the party struggle or become a warlord. If it continues to develop according to its current behavior, perhaps some people will be deeply suspicious of themselves in their hearts, and even develop to the point of solving themselves, and when the time comes, will it not be a tragedy of the Red Army's cannibalism? You must know that the cruelty of the intra-party struggle in history is not just black and white, but human blood and life. It seems that it is not enough to rely on blood alone to carry out the revolution, nor can it be to maintain unity within the Party and the unity of the Red Army by relying only on blood, and it is necessary to stress wisdom in everything.

Alas! Ni Hua's affairs can only be done by time.

Thinking about it, Liu Yimin said to Luo Ronghuan: "If Comrade Tang Xingying doesn't dislike me and is willing to marry me, I can't ask for it." However, I am afraid that Xiao Tang is angry now, and he will not be willing. In this way, this matter is not in a hurry now, and when she wants to open it, I will go and beg her. If she really doesn't want to, I'll take my time. If it really doesn't work, please ask the organization to help solve it. ”

Luo Ronghuan was finally relieved, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Tang Xingying's work will be done by me." If she doesn't agree, I'll report it to the Central Committee and ask for a secretary for you. Let's go, let's go to Vice Chairman Zhou now, apologize to Sister Deng, and review to Vice Chairman Zhou! ”

(To be continued)
