Section 10 Storm IX

"Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant General," Mei Youlan's first sentence made Chen G change his impression of her, this woman is not stupid, but the next sentence made him speechless: "However, you shouldn't come out, to be honest, I really want to clean up these guys, these guys don't know what they are, they don't need to clean up." \\、/”

Chen G smiled bitterly in his heart, this girl didn't seem to know that the national army was ready to do it just now, and he also saw that this woman probably had some background, and he didn't know if it was the wife or daughter of that family.

"Aren't you going to the headquarters, how about taking me for a ride?"

Chen G was completely speechless, this woman is really familiar, and she didn't ask me who I was to take a ride, without waiting for Chen G to agree, Mei Youlan walked to the rickshaw driver next to her, settled the fare, and loaded her luggage into Chen G's jeep, she had a lot of luggage, in addition to a backpack, there were two suitcases.

In addition to this, she also ran to the passenger seat by herself, squeezed Chen G to the back, and was with the guards and luggage.

The guard was very dissatisfied, and kept muttering, Mei Youlan unceremoniously said: "Pay attention to your demeanor, ladies first, understand?" ”

"What demeanor, I've never seen someone like you." The guard was very dissatisfied: "I didn't say anything polite, I didn't ask who we were, and I got in the car." ”

"Hehe, by the way, I haven't consulted the daimyo yet, Mr. Lieutenant General, you are that unit." Mei Youlan didn't care, she had seen a lot of lieutenant generals in the national army, and she had seen most of the lieutenant generals in the North China Theater, Du Yuming, Lan Yundong, and Song Xilian, who could be said to be old acquaintances.

"Our commander is the Eighth Route Army, Commander Chen."

Mei Youlan turned to the side in some surprise and looked at Chen G and the guards: "Eighth Route Army, Commander Chen, oh, you are Chen G, I have heard of you on Taihang Mountain, Zuo Q said that you and my eldest brother are a pair of ruffians from the Whampoa Military Academy." ”

Chen G immediately understood who this woman was, except for Mei Youlan in this world, who dared to say that he Chen G and Zhuang Jihua were ruffians, Mei Youlan was interested: "You went to see my eldest brother, is it for Hao Pengju's business, I can tell you, this time you have my eldest brother, what he can't tolerate the most is this kind of thing, Chen G, you are in big trouble this time." ”

Before Chen G could speak, the guards around him became angry: "Your Kuomintang has always been anti-communist, you have guns, and the guys in our hands are jealous."

Who knew that Mei Youlan didn't argue with him at all, just smiled: "It doesn't matter if you're jealous or not, the Japanese are happy when you fight like this, and I can't wait for you to fight as big as possible." Speaking of this, her tone changed: "To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, it is a big failure for you to take in Hao Pengju this time, he was originally a traitor, the national army counterattacked, in order to save his life, he telegraphed the whole country to respond to the government's call, atonement anyway, but as soon as he turned his face, he ran to you again, now everyone understands that this Hao Pengju is a rebellion, and you are saddled in the name of plotting against the national army, which is a serious violation of the agreement reached between the two parties, and you have lost." ”

Chen G sighed in his heart, Mei Youlan was right, but this step cannot be retreated, otherwise it will have a very bad impact on the party's united front work, and it is precisely because of this consideration of this situation that the central government insists on not sending Hao Pengju back, regardless of the current passivity.

"Your opinion is biased," Chen G's eyes closed slightly, looking a little tired: "The fact is that Hao Pengju defected to our army by himself, and General Hao Pengju's dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang's annexation of local forces is in line with our party's democratic style. ”

Mei Youlan sneered: "General Chen, this is not an interview, just a small talk, you don't need such an official tone, right, your party's democratic style?" After he arrives in your party, will your party reorganize his troops? The root cause is not here. ”

"Oh, where did you say then?" Chen G asked with a smile.

"You don't know there, it's just that everyone won't explain it." Mei Youlan pouted, in the half a year on Taihang Mountain, she has a deeper understanding of GCD, from the hard point of view, GCD people are indeed as the outside world says, and their attitude towards Japan is also very resolute, but others, such as freedom of speech, such as the legal system, are far less than what is said in the propaganda.

As he was talking, the jeep stopped, Mei Youlan turned her head to see that the jeep had arrived in front of the checkpoint, an officer walked to the front of the car and saluted Chen G, Chen G took out his own documents, and after the officer checked it, he asked for the documents of the guard and the driver, and then walked to Mei Youlan.

"That's all I have." Mei Youlan handed him her press card with a bitter face, and the officer shook his head after reading it and said, "I'm sorry, Reporter Mei, you can't go in." ”

Mei Youlan looked at him and sighed: "Alas, the rules of the eldest brother are strict, you call Wu Ziniu out, you tell him that Mei Youlan is here." ”

The officer said that Mei Youlan was very sure, and the letter went to make a phone call suspiciously, and after a while, he ran over, handed her back Mei Youlan's press card, and then ordered the sentry to let her go.

The jeep stopped in front of the headquarters office building, Wu Ziniu was already waiting there, he was a little surprised that Mei Youlan and Chen G came over together, and when he helped Mei Youlan carry his luggage, he was still asking how they were together.

"I met on the road, alas, Brother Wu, you have to tell the eldest brother, it's time to rectify the military discipline, if you don't rectify it, it will be rotten." Mei Youlan told Wu Ziniu about the situation she met on the road, and Wu Ziniu didn't say anything after hearing it, but said to Chen G: "Commander Chen, the commander is in a meeting, what is there in the reception room in advance." ”

Chen G obviously felt a coldness in Wu Ziniu's tone, and he smiled indifferently: "Do you know where the temporary office of the Eighth Route Army is?" I'm having trouble finding the ground, you know? ”

Wu Ziniu said: "General Xuan is in the room. ”

After finishing speaking, he carried a suitcase in one hand, Mei Youlan carried a backpack and said goodbye to Chen G, and as Wu Ziniu walked towards the dormitory, Wu Ziniu asked as he walked: "Didn't you go to Taihang Mountain?" Why is there so much luggage? It's weird and heavy. ”

Mei Youlan said: "Is there any way, when I go, I only have a backpack, and when I come back, there are a lot of them, which are all interview materials, and I want to write a book about Taihang Mountain, the base area behind the enemy." You don't know, it's difficult to get out of the mountain, and the Eighth Route Army sent two people and borrowed a mule from a fellow countryman, so they came out. ”

Mei Youlan briefly talked about her experience in the past six months, and she interviewed a wide range of people, from ordinary people, grassroots officials, to senior cadres, the county government, and how the Eighth Route Army collected food and taxes, and even observed a few battles.

She came suddenly, Wu Ziniu didn't have time to prepare, her dormitory was empty, there was a bed and a writing desk in the room, the bed had not been made yet, and a bed board was empty. Wu Ziniu turned on the light and put down the box in his hand.

"Someone will bring things later, you rest first, and I'll go to the commander."

Wu Ziniu was about to leave after speaking, Mei Youlan hurriedly stopped him, Wu Ziniu turned to look at him, Mei Youlan hesitated, bit her lip and asked, "What about my sister-in-law,...。 ”

Wu Ziniu sighed: "You'd better not mention this, although the commander didn't say anything, but in fact he felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, he has been restrained, I don't know when it will be issued, Hao Pengju is considered to have hit the muzzle of the gun, this time he will not die or it will be over." ”

"What about Yaya and Momo?" Mei Youlan is very fond of her two children and is very worried about them.

"It's all good, don't worry." Wu Ziniu was talking, there was a report behind him, he turned around and saw that it was two soldiers, holding cotton wool quilts and other things, so he let them in, and then said goodbye to Mei Youlan and walked to the door, he hesitated, and finally didn't say anything, and left in his military uniform.

Back to the headquarters office building, this office building is actually only a two-story small building, the conference room is upstairs, and the downstairs is the waiting room.

In fact, Chen G and Xuanxia's father were not in the waiting room, he and Xuanxia's father Chen Y were on the garden path outside the building. After receiving the telegram from the central government, Chen Y set out on the road overnight and rushed to Jinan at dawn today, only a few hours earlier than Chen G.

Xuanxia's father explained Zhuang Jihua's attitude to Chen G in detail, and then told the opinions of He Siyuan, Miao Handong and others, and finally said: "This matter is very tricky, Zhuang Wenge has a very tough attitude now, and we must return Hao Pengju, He Siyuan and Miao Handong's opinions are also calm, and they hope that we will return Hao Pengju to settle the dispute." ”

"General Hao Pengju is in response to our party's anti-Japanese salvation and opposition to Chiang Kai-shek's implementation of one-party dictatorship, and under the inspiration of ** rule, he defected to our party," Chen Y said after consideration, Hao Pengju's defection was planned by the Social Department of the Shandong Branch, but the Eighth Route Army Office in the Jiangbei Theater also contributed a lot, it was they who first obtained the information, and in an emergency situation, it was too late to notify the Central Committee, break the convention, and directly contact the contact point of the Social Department of the Shandong Bureau in Jinan. What Chen Y said was Yan'an's official conclusion on the matter, and Yan'an absolutely did not admit to plotting against the Kuomintang forces.

"So we can't send Hao Pengju back, because it will seriously undermine the confidence of the democrats in our party. On the contrary, we must also take advantage of the situation to publicize and expose the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang and the rule of Chiang Kai-shek. The central government asked the three of us to solve this matter, I think we still have a division of labor, Chen G, you are mainly responsible for contacting Zhuang Jihua; Father Xuanxia, you are mainly responsible for contacting journalists; I'm in charge of contacting the democrats, and you see, it's a good division of labor. ”

Chen G and Xuan Xia's father have no objection to this division of labor. Among the three of them, Chen G had an excellent personal relationship with Zhuang Jihua, Xuan Xia's father was familiar with Chinese and foreign reporters in the North China Theater, and Chen Y had a relatively high prestige among the democrats in Shandong. Such a division of labor is to give full play to the strengths of each of the three people.
