After the day's mobilization, the fighters disbanded to prepare for the next stage of the battle, but the commissars of the army's political work system were not disbanded. The head of the army's political commissar is He Zudao, and it is the practice of the political commissars to hold a summary meeting after each mobilization meeting. The preparatory and wrap-up meetings are held every time.

"The military heart is available!" Xiong Mingyang said excitedly. Today, the comrades are very anxious to fight, and they have a high sense of trust and belonging to the troops in their words. Xiong Mingyang is an enthusiastic character, and when he feels everyone's enthusiasm, he also feels high-spirited and excited. "Commissar He, as long as the soldiers have this energy, the next battle will not be a problem."

He Zudao is younger than Xiong Mingyang, so it stands to reason that he should be more excited. However, among the political commissars, He Zudao's performance has always been calm, and everyone didn't feel strange when they saw He Zudao not saying anything, just looking thoughtful. Everyone knows that there will be a large-scale battle soon, and the current job of the commissar is to inspire the soldiers of the troops. He Zudao's silence did not stop the enthusiasm of the comrades, and everyone began to discuss enthusiastically.

"I think it's time to just shout out to fight Fengyang Mansion and liberate the whole of Anhui. What do you guys think of this slogan? Li Zhao, the general political commissar of the water detachment, asked. Hearing this bold propaganda outline, the already excited political commissars nodded their heads in support. During the mobilization, the fighters repeatedly stated that they would loyally follow the insurance regiment. Wherever the team wants to fight, the fighters will fight. This heart-wrenching words made everyone very excited.

Now that the troops have seen it, a new brigade will definitely be formed in the water detachment. All the troops that can fight are in the water detachment, and the military commissar has issued an order for the political commissars to start looking for the people who are willing to follow the team among the disaster victims in other places, and strive to enlist them. The hearts of these dying people, tormented by famine and hunger, were filled with hatred for the rich, hatred for the government, hatred for this era. Under this hatred, the insurance regiment recruited a little, and it can be said that there were many responders. These civilians have been incorporated into the reserves, undergoing comprehensive training and physical recuperation, and they should be very good soldiers. As long as the body is well maintained, the army will certainly be able to achieve a great development. This development is likely to be the largest ever established by the insurance group. So the commissars also feel very rushed. The expansion of the number of troops under the leadership of everyone means that the number of troops under the leadership of everyone has increased, and it means that the posts have been promoted.

"Now we want to fight Shouzhou, or let's talk about fighting Shouzhou City and liberating Fengyang Mansion now. After taking Shouzhou, let's use this slogan again. Otherwise, what will be said in the next mobilization. Dai Enze suggested.

Everyone thought it was a good idea, and even Li Zhao, who was the first to put forward the slogan, thought it was a good idea. After discussing for a while, everyone saw that He Zudao still didn't speak. Li Zhao asked, "Political Commissar He, what do you think?" ”

He Zudao still had that thoughtful look on his face, but this didn't mean that he was completely out of his mind. Li Zhao's question, He Zudao nodded when he heard it, "Defeat Shouzhou City and liberate Fengyang Mansion." I think so. After finishing speaking, He Zudao wanted to continue thinking, but his expression became a little anxious inexplicably, as if he was very dissatisfied with his mood. I couldn't help but say: "Comrades, I don't think such slogans are political enough. ”

"Not very political?" The comrades looked at He Zudao in surprise, everyone didn't expect He Zudao to say such an inexplicable sentence. Everyone looked at He Zudao with doubts in their eyes.

Xiong Mingyang stared at He Zudao, he actually didn't understand why He Zudao tried to suppress the mood of the soldiers during the mobilization today, but repeatedly explained the new land policy. The new land policy is actually quite complicated, and even people like Xiong Mingyang who have read books find it a little difficult to understand. He Zudao just "settled" with the soldiers, comparing the difference between the old system and the new system. This is something that Xiong Mingyang is very puzzled about.

Naturally, the results of such a mobilization will not be too good, and the fighters are almost said to be confused. Later, it was Li who saw that things were wrong, and hurriedly went up to take over the conversation and steered the direction to the military struggle, which re-inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers. He Zudao has never made such a mistake in his previous political work, and everyone is actually very puzzled.

He Zudao did not pay attention to the emotions of his comrades, he looked very anxious now, and it seemed that Fang Cai's thinking had encountered a bottleneck. He closed his eyes with a frown, then quickly opened them again. "Comrades, I have an idea. What the hell are our troops fighting for? Isn't it still to make a good living? If we only blindly engage in military struggles and do not pay attention to political concepts, the result will only be to create a force full of hatred. I always felt that this morale was wrong. Fight a good fight, such morale can still be used. Once there is a headwind battle and a setback, I am very worried about whether the troops will be able to withstand it by then. ”

The political commissars never expected that He Zudao was worried about such a thing. And because of the high mood now, some people don't even understand what He Zudao wants to say at all.

Li Zhao said with a smile: "Political Commissar He, who is the opponent of our troops in Fengyang Mansion." In the battle so far, those sieges that boasted that they would never be breached were still beaten to the ground by us. Moreover, the troops still rushed through the gap opened by the explosion at the beginning, and now the frontal troops are also daring to fight. I'm afraid that the ideas and virtues of the officers and soldiers can't compare to the family members of the fence. ”

Because Li Zhao was personally responsible for transporting the officers and men of the Anhui New Army home, he had a lot of contact with these so-called "elite" new officers and men. When things happened, the performance of these new officers and soldiers was actually very bad, as long as there was no command from Pu Guanshui, these people could not do anything. In contrast, although the landlords' armed families in the enclosure were not well equipped, in the face of the attack of the insurance regiment, these families dared to fight.

Li Zhao started his life, and the other political commissars also responded one after another: "The army is to fight, and the civil department is responsible for political work, so we must not interfere in the work of the civil department." Organizational discipline is not allowed. ”

"Destroy the government first, and then we can seize the initiative. How can we muster the will to fight against the government now, how should we come? ”

"Secretary Chen made it very clear that our current military goal is not to allow any officers and soldiers to enter the base area. Otherwise, the current situation will not be saved. What is being fought now is not only a military war, but also a political war. We can only win now, not lose. If you lose once, something big will happen. ”

The other political commissars said one after another, and almost all of them were against He Zudao. Seeing He Zudao alone in the face of everyone's unanimous opposition, some political commissars had a faint happiness in their hearts. This is not only the pleasure of expressing one's heart, but He Zudao himself, as Chen Ke's ironcore, has always been the leading figure in the political commissar, and now he can criticize and oppose He Zudao politely and politely, and this pleasure is involuntarily filled in his heart.

He Zudao listened quietly. What everyone said is very reasonable, and at a time when the current military struggle is at the main contradiction, it is naturally a good thing to boost the troops' will to fight to the greatest extent. Even in the long run, as long as the local area is fully controlled, there will be no one from within who will dare to oppose the new regime after the external enemy has been defeated in the context of overwhelming military power. That's all right. It is also Chen Ke's request for the mobilization of this military operation.

The most intense, but He Zudao has an indescribable sense of disobedience. The revolutionary cause itself will never be so simple. If it was so simple to win, then why did so many peasant uprisings in history fail every time? It's good that the army knows who its enemies are. But He Zudao believes that a true revolutionary army should know what to defend, not just who to defeat.

If the new system led by the People's Party had been completed now, He Zudao would not have been so critical. The problem is that the new system has not been built at all. It was even in the bud, and at this time, instead of rushing to implement the new system, a large-scale battle was being carried out, and He Zudao didn't feel right. The loyalty of the soldiers must be directed towards the system, against the revolution led by the BJP. It can't just be out of a simple psychological needle to repay gratitude. Although I don't know what kind of problems the team formed by such a repay, He Zudao knows that there will definitely be problems.

However, looking at the posture of the other political commissars who did not convince themselves and swore not to give up, He Zudao also had to soften for the time being. "So this time we will write a summary separately, and I will write about the settlement of accounts under the old system and the new system. Everyone writes about the morale of the army. He came up with a compromise. But everyone listened to He Zudao's words, but they did not fully agree with the statement. He Zudao had to continue: "The accounting problem I was responsible for this time was not done well, and this time it can be said that it failed." I will write it clearly and personally review it with the party committee. It's my own responsibility and I'll take that responsibility. ”

Since He Zudao has spoken to this extent, it is difficult for everyone to say anything. The killing was not too much, and Political Commissar He personally admitted his mistakes and admitted his defeat. Talking too much is not a problem-solving attitude. After briefly summarizing the process and situation of the mobilization meeting, everyone began to write their own reports.

When He Zudao took the two reports and went to report to Chen Ke, he felt very depressed. For him, he was a loser at this mobilization meeting. When facing Chen Ke's report on the results, He Zudao was not afraid of Chen Ke's anger, but felt a deep shame because he was not able to complete the task. The guards went in to report, and He Zudao, who was waiting at the door, felt red because of shame. The wait seems to be long, but it doesn't seem to be long. Anyway, the guards came out and let He Zudao in. It was not only Chen Ke who was waiting for He Zudao in the office, Qi Huishen was also sitting at the desk. Seeing He Zudao come in, the two people in the room stood up. Qi Huishen hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him, "Foot Dao, we really haven't seen each other for a long time." With that, he stretched out his hand.

Since Qi Huishen and them arrived at the base area, everyone has been busy, and the two of them only occasionally saw each other hurrying to do things from a distance, and it was only now that they officially spoke. He Zudao and Qi Huishen are old friends, and Qi Huishen pulled He Zudao to follow Chen Ke. When old friends met, He Zudao's depressed mood was also relieved. He and Qi Huishen shook hands tightly. "Huishen, if you come, hurry up and join the work. I'm really busy here. ”

Hearing this, Qi Hui smiled deeply, "This work arrangement has to be arranged by Wen Qing, and I can't be the master myself." There was an indescribable taste in these words, and He Zudao didn't know whether Qi Huishen complained or agreed with Chen Ke's refusal to arrange a job for him.

But now the matter is important, He Zudao handed the two documents to Chen Ke, "Secretary Chen, look at it, this is the record and summary of today's mobilization meeting." After Chen Ke took the document, He Zudao added: "I have failed to compare the old and new systems. Although the soldiers also knew that there was nothing wrong with settling accounts in this way, everyone was more concerned about what was unfair. There was little interest in the advantages of the new system. This is something I didn't expect at the time. ”

Although he knew that he had failed, He Zudao did not directly use words like sorry. Chen Ke never let his subordinates use words like "sorry" in their reports. His evaluation of this is very simple, "If the apology is useful, you don't have to do anything else, just apologize." Revolutionary work is about accomplishing the goal, and it must be accomplished. If you have time to apologize, you might as well think about how to get things done. ”

"Sit down." Chen Ke said, and after that, he sat down and began to read the report. He Zudao sat straight on the stool, quietly waiting for Chen Ke's evaluation after reading the document. Qi Huishen originally wanted to talk to He Zudao, but seeing He Zudao's serious expression, he didn't break the silence in the office, and waited without saying a word.

After Chen Ke finished reading one document, he handed it to Qi Huishen and looked at the other one himself. Qi Huishen only looked at it for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "Zudao, I didn't expect you to speak really well now." I don't know if I listened to He Zudao's frank admission of his failure, anyway, Chen Ke first read He Zudao's document. After reading it, he handed it to Qi Huishen. And Qi Huishen was obviously very interested in He Zudao's performance.

In the face of the jokes of old friends, He Zudao did not have the slightest cowardice caused by shame, he frankly admitted, "Speaking of the landlords under the old system, the clan's deception of the people. The fighters were interested. But when it comes to the advantages under the new regime, the fighters do not understand. I'm a failure. ”

Without waiting for Qi Huishen to speak, Chen Ke interjected in a calm tone, "If it weren't for the hatred of the old system, why do you think these fighters would be so outstanding?" Everyone knows that people die in battle, and these fighters stand out because they have a passion for revenge against the old system. If you talk a lot about the benefits of building a new system, people will definitely not like to hear it. ”

He Zudao actually understood this, he just nodded yes, and did not argue with himself at all. Qi Huishen asked with some puzzlement: "Wen Qing, why do you say that?" You mean that these fighters just want to take revenge on society? ”

"It's deep, have you read the Water Margin?" After listening to Qi Huishen's words, Chen Ke did not answer directly, but asked another question.

"I've read and listened to books." Qi Huishen replied strangely.

"Can you Jiangnan's bullet words be said to be so intense, hehe, I'm very skeptical." First questioning the performance situation of traditional folk literature and art in the south, Chen Kecai continued: "Liangshanbo is known as the way to walk for the sky, but this way for the sky is one in the eyes of the black whirlwind Li Kui, and in the eyes of Song Jiang in time for rain, it is another look. There are one hundred and eight generals, and there are one hundred and eight different ways to do things for the sky. This is nothing unusual. ”

Qi Huishen never imagined that Chen Ke would look at the Water Margin like this, but Chen Ke's words of plagiarizing foreigners' evaluation of Hamlet were very meaningful, and Qi Huishen was stunned after listening to it, and he couldn't find the words to respond.

Chen Ke didn't care about Qi Huishen, he continued to browse the document, the document was not very long, and Chen Ke took more than ten minutes to read it. He raised his head, "Commissar He, I've probably seen the situation." What do you don't understand? Let's hear it. ”

He Zudao had already prepared the question, "I feel that something will definitely happen if this continues, if the army cannot complete the politicization and encounter some principled problems in the future, how to solve them." ”

"For example?" Chen Ke briefly asked his own question.

He Zudao immediately replied: "For example, it is the righteousness of the rivers and lakes that inspires morale now, not the recognition of revolutionary ideas. As far as I can see now, our revolutionary ideas will certainly encounter many contradictions with the current ideas of the fighters in the future. The first is to obey discipline and listen to commands. I didn't take part in the battle, but I saw some information that the fighters were having a problem with their idea of getting promoted right now. Everyone wants to choose their favorite fellow villagers, and there is some resistance to organizational personnel appointments. This is the negative effect of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. ”

Qi Huishen looked at the weak young man He Zudao and talked eloquently, the conversation was reasonable, and he was really surprised. Although Qi Huishen is responsible for the work of the Shanghai branch, in terms of the clarity of reasoning, Qi Huishen now feels that he is no longer very reasonable. And a year ago, He Zudao himself still needed Qi Huishen's help to sort out his views and opinions. Can a year's work make such a big difference in a person? Qi Huishen felt puzzled on the one hand, and felt a little jealous on the other.

Just when Qi Hui was thinking deeply, He Zudao had already begun to summarize, "Secretary Chen, I feel very worried about this matter. This kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. At that time, the fighters did not have the idea of revolution as an ideological support, and it was easy for them to be unable to understand and even intensify the contradictions. ”

"Commissar He, you can understand one thing. The power of oral education is small. Chen Ke replied calmly. He Zudao's mood Chen Ke had already experienced, so he was a little hesitant to explain it.

He Zudao has had so much practical work experience, and because he is convinced of Chen Ke, he fully accepts Chen Ke's concept. After hearing Chen Ke's words, he was just confused for a moment, and then a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.

Chen Ke saw that He Zudao probably understood the meaning of his words, and he continued with a stern expression: "The big waves are sweeping the sand. Political Commissar Ho. Revolution is not a dinner party, it is the same with the enemy, and the same is true with its own problems. We now want the warriors to fight against the old system. Then the aim is to win the war. Warriors grow up in war, just as a tree grows taller, and there will always be some branches that don't grow right. At that time, we had to fix it. If you have to cut down the branches, you have to cut them down. It's an inevitable process. This process does not change at the will of our supervisors. ”

Qi Huishen didn't understand the meaning of Chen Ke's words too much, but seeing He Zudao's face becoming more and more ugly, that look was a mixture of pain, regret, unease, shock and unbearable. Qi Huishen also felt that something was wrong. Then, I listened to Chen Ke continue: "At this stage, we still have to focus on education and guidance. But when it arrives, what should be sorted out will be sorted out. The fighters of the revolutionary army can only have one revolutionary program. So I think your idea is good and I absolutely support it. However, we need to talk about the working methods. Although they are all for the heavens, what Li Kui realized was the way to the heavens, that is, when Jiangzhou robbed the law field, he picked up the big axe and cut it down at the spectators who watched the killing. Song Jiang's way of doing things for heaven is to recruit peace. Political Commissar Ho, you are a member of the People's Party, and you must stand on the stand of the People's Party for the people's revolution. No matter what the situation is, you, as a political commissar, must determine your position. Do you understand? ”

He Zudao's face had become solemn and gloomy. He was silent for a while, and finally said loudly, "I understand! ”

There was a sense of determination and helplessness in this voice, Chen Ke knew that He Zudao really understood his words, his heart softened, and he couldn't help but persuade, "Our people's revolution is the only correct path in China now, but the people's revolution is not able to save everyone." ”

After finishing speaking, no matter what He Zudao's reaction would be, Chen Ke waved his hand, "Political Commissar He, now that the time is tight, you can hurry back to work." ”

Since Chen Ke said this, He Zudao didn't say much, he stood up and saluted Chen Ke, and then turned around and walked out of Chen Ke's office.
