Chapter Seventy-Nine: The First Regiment
Update time:202――
The next day, thousands of migrant workers continued to carry out intense construction in the salt warehouse base, which had begun to take shape.
In the morning, at the meeting of the engineering headquarters, Li Juesi, Tang Peng, and Li Hao briefly discussed the construction situation, and Li Jue thought about the progress of the project and couldn't help but smile, "Such a large project, I thought it would take several months, but I didn't expect that it would be completed in another week, and it would take more than ten days before and after." ”
Tang Peng said: "The base is built with bungalows and two-story buildings, as long as the ground is leveled, thousands of migrant workers work together and do not rest 24 hours a day, which is naturally very fast." ”
"There are large machinery to level the land, modern technology to make bricks and burn bricks, and Dunan Island has also sent cement, so it's hard for us to slow down." Li Hao rolled up the drawings with his hand, "If there is nothing else, I will go down to the construction site." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Tang Peng and Li Hao went down to the construction site with construction drawings and rattan helmets.
He sat in the office, looking at the renderings of the salt warehouse base hanging on the wall, feeling very comfortable. It has been more than half a year since he traveled to this time and space, and he feels that he has done a lot of practical things, and his ability has also been exercised and enhanced, which cannot be compared in the original time and space, in the original time and space, he can only be a day long, with the mind of a keyboard politician.
"Ha, Commander-in-Chief Li, a person is in front of the drawings at the command headquarters, expressing his pride!" Bai Baoxiang and Yunlan walked in from outside.
"Ah, the two chiefs are here, and they are guilty of sins." Li Juesi hurriedly beckoned to give up his seat and made tea.
After the greetings, Bai Baoxiang drank tea and casually asked Li Juesi that although the party congress had been held for more than a week, because all the work was very busy, the party's organizational work had not yet been carried out, and asked him if he had any good thoughts on this.
Li Juesi said without hesitation: "I think the main thing is to focus on the construction of the backbone team, and the party building work needs a large number of activists. When Taizu engaged in the peasant ~ movement, the first thing was to run several peasant ~ movement workshops. Speaking of Taizu, Li Juesi is eyebrows fluttering.
Yunlan is also a fan of Taizu, and Li Juesi's words scratched his itch all of a sudden, and he forcibly held back his chatter and drank two mouthfuls of water.
"Ahem, cough, cough~~" Yunlan drank too quickly, and the water choked on the trachea all of a sudden.
Bai Baoxiang glanced at Yunlan, turned his head and asked Li Juesi, "Some people say that it is very simple to conduct political education in the army, as long as you are like the soldiers of the American sweet potato, learn to say, 'Yes, sir!'" 'No, sir!' 'Understood, sir!' ''I don't understand, sir! It doesn't matter if you have faith or education. ”
This is the purely military line criticized in the first volume of Taizu's anthology. In addition to fighting and destroying the enemy's military forces, the troops 'also have to undertake the important tasks of propagating the masses, organizing the masses, arming the masses, helping the masses to establish revolutionary power, and even building party organizations.' Besides, simple discipline cannot guarantee that the indigenous warriors are of the same mind as us. Why should those indigenous warriors listen to you, won't they go to the Manchus, won't they go to the European and American devils? ”
Li Jue Si quoted Taizu's article for a long time, and Bai Baoxiang sat there and listened quietly, without speaking.
Yun Lan couldn't help but interject and asked, "Then what do you think the troops should do?" ”
"I think that with Taizu's successful method, the branch is established on the company, and the party group is established to the squad platoon. If we let the fighters know the program of the Ba'ath Party, understand who they are going to fight for, and have a clear goal to strive for, they will be better able to carry out their military orders and burst out with all their strength. ”
Bai Baoxiang and Yunlan discussed it in a whisper, and then asked Li Juesi with a smile, "If the Military Commission entrusts you with the political work of the army, what do you think?" ”
"Me?" Li Juesi didn't believe his ears a little, he raised his eyes at Bai Baoxiang, and said calmly: "Panic, very panic, this responsibility is too heavy." However, I am confident that it will be done well. ”
Bai Baoxiang put away his smile, and he said to Li Juesi very seriously: "Very good, now I officially inform you on behalf of the Military Commission that you will serve as the political commissar and party secretary of the First Regiment of the Ming Army." You and Water Traceless partner to build a regiment into a strong battle fortress. ”
Li Juesi showed a surprised look on his face, he heard that the first battalion of the new army would be built, how did it become the first regiment.
Yun Lan explained, "We are going to form four infantry companies, one machine gun company, a total of more than 600 people. This was equivalent to a small regiment of the Eighth Route Army; When the soldiers are sufficient, they will be expanded into a large regiment. ”
According to the suggestions of Wang Tiezhu, Yun Lan and others, the Military Commission finally decided to appoint Shui Wuxian as the head of the First Regiment of the Army, Li Da as the deputy head of the regiment and chief of staff, and Li Juesi as the political instructor. After nearly a week of large-scale construction, day and night, the construction of the Yancang base has begun to take shape, Li Juesi relieved himself of the errand of the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, handed over all the work of the base construction to Chen Yu and Jiang Li, and was fully responsible for the political work of the army.
The Military Council appointed Kohler and McClain as the chief military and political officers of the First Company; Ban Xue and Wu Shimang were the military and political chiefs of the Second Company; Longshan Leopard and Zhang Yiba were the military and political chiefs of the Third Company; Tan Huan and Qiu Feng are the military and political chiefs of the Fourth Company; Tan Ke and Ye Danqing were in charge of the machine gun company.
More than half of the barracks at the Yancang base have been completed, and the newly built more than 10 rows of bungalows are a temporary camp for a regiment after a simple arrangement of camping equipment.
On the morning of 28 July, more than 600 people began to settle into the camp of the first regiment one after another.
"Report!"
Li Juesi looked up, and Zhang Yuba, the instructor of the Third Company, was standing in front of his office.
"The troops are settled?"
"The three companies are fully loaded, and the troops are all settled!" Zhang Yuba walked into the room and put his butt on the chair, "Political commissar, I feel a little tired, just this morning, I feel that I have become a superfluous person, and I can't do anything." ”
The five-year-old Longshan leopard of the third company has been adrift in North America for many years, and he is a perennial sport and is particularly good at shooting. In comparison, Zhang Yuba is only 20 years old this year, and before he crossed, he had not walked out of the school gate, and he looked quite immature in front of Longshan Leopard. Today, when the troops entered the camp, Zhang Yuba really wanted to be a competent instructor, but he just couldn't show his skills. He put forward some constructive opinions and suggestions, but they were all rejected by Longshan Leopard's quotation and arguments, which made Zhang Yuba very hurt.
"What's wrong, discouraged at work, thinking that you can't do this instructor well?"
Zhang Yiba was full of grievances, "No, it's that the company commander is very capable, and I, the instructor, are particularly incompetent." ”
Li Jue thought to himself, this is really a too young, too simple Tucson break.
So he patiently enlightened: "Your company commander is 5 years old, and you are only 20 years old, and your ability in some aspects is poor, which is normal." The military and political officers of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th companies are all veteran comrades in their 30s and young people in their 20s. ”
"But~~"
"Don't you think you're good at this job?"
Zhang Yuba shook his head again and again, "No! I just feel a little pressured at work. ”
"When there is pressure, you have to turn it into motivation." Li Juesi criticized Zhang Yuba slightly, and then changed his voice, "Although the military and political affairs of the grassroots companies are not separated, the military chief officer and the political chief officer each have their own work responsibilities. You are the old man of the team, Wang Sima went to Dongji Island, and you were the first batch of people, from fighting Japan to Dinghai, and then to Shanghai, you were in every major operation. You should use your brains well, learn how to carry out political work well, and grow up as soon as possible. ”
As he spoke, Li Juesi took out a magnetic card from the drawer, "Here, next door is the cadre club, this is your reading card." ”
The Cadre Club is located in the middle of the office of Lijus, a windowless room with multiple computers.
Li Juesi opened the door of the club and pointed with his hand, "There are a large number of books in each computer, including the collection of Taizu's writings during the Red Army. ”
Zhang Yuba felt that this was very inconvenient, "Why don't we have a printer, we political workers should have a copy." ”
"You can't print it, you can't even copy it!"
"Why?"
"Because we are Ming cadres, we came from North America. We don't admit that the East and the East of another time and space will definitely not exist in this time and space. ”
"uh~~~"
"However, our political department will also draft relevant documents on political work according to the situation of this time and space. It's very fast, just in the next few days. ”
In the afternoon, in a house at the base of the salt warehouse, a regiment of officers was seated, and a general meeting of all party members was being held here.
The officers of the first regiment were all the officers of the crossing group, and the first congress passed a resolution that all the crossing people were full members of the Baath Party.
Amid warm applause, Yun Lan, on behalf of the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission, read out the list of members of the party committee of the first regiment.
In the applause, Bai Baoxiang spoke on behalf of the Central Military Commission, "This is a groundbreaking event in China and even the world in this time and space, and a new type of people's army has been born. In the past, everyone was just a keyboard politician, but now they are the leaders of the army; In the future, he will become a general and even a marshal who commands thousands of troops. ”
The crowd in the conference room was excited, and the applause was wave after wave.
Bai Baoxiang waved his hand and continued: "It's a good thing to be able to enter the reserve team of generals and marshals, but I'm afraid that someone will have an accident halfway, fall behind, and lose their way because of the power in their hands. Therefore, it is necessary to have party branches in companies and party groups in squads and platoons, and to establish a strict and well-organized party organization system in the troops, thus providing a reliable organizational guarantee for the party's comprehensive building and control of the troops.
Bai Baoxiang's words were quite serious, all the small movements at the bottom of the venue were gone, and the officers sat upright one by one, motionless.
"Some people look down on political work, thinking that political work is dispensable, saying that as long as we learn the strategy of American sweet potatoes, use strong firepower, crush the past, destroy the enemy army, and win victory after victory, there will be no problem! They did not arrive, the defeat of the British in Afghanistan, the defeat of the French in Egypt. ”
Wang Tiezhu, who was sitting next to Bai Baoxiang, took over the topic, "In the process of conquering the world, we need victory after victory, but everyone must know that the key to victory is sometimes not just military struggle. Napoleon conquered Europe with a strong army, but he failed to conquer the hearts of Europeans, and as a result, a defeat led to the collapse of the French Empire. Legend has it that there was once a rebel army that was so strong that the government army could not use force to exterminate it, so it could only adopt the method of 'three parts military, seven points political'. Therefore, politics is often more convincing than military. ”
Wang Tiezhu very vaguely used the Kuomintang's policy of "three parts military and seven points political" to explain the importance of political work. This obscure way elicited a knowing smile from the officers.
Bai Baoxiang knocked on the table, "Don't laugh, everyone here should know the true meaning of Comrade Wang Tiezhu's speech." ”
"There are still people who look down on our Baath Party and say very contemptuously what is the Party?" He looked around the venue and continued, "Remember, the party is not my Bai Baoxiang's personal one, nor is it the exclusive machine of someone in our executive committee. The party is a banner that condenses the wisdom and strength of all cadres, the party is the source of strength to lead our team, and the party is the core force that leads us to complete the three major tasks. With the party, we ceased to be a loose organization and became a powerful fighting collective. ”
Seeing Bai Baoxiang stop to drink water, Wang Tiezhu, who was sitting on the side, interjected again, "Do you remember our three major tasks?" ”
"Down with the Manchus and establish the Republic of China!
Asia and Australia are our continents!
The earth belongs to the Chinese civilization. ”
The officers said in unison.
"Yes!" Bai Baoxiang continued, "It is not difficult to complete these tasks, as long as we work hard enough, as long as our team does not have infighting and then split. Therefore, our principle is that the party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the party. ”
Bai Baoxiang severely criticized purely military thinking and demanded that all officers firmly establish the consciousness of "the party's absolute leadership over the army."
"Without strong organizational leadership, the army may degenerate and become factional, which we Baath members must not allow. Therefore, after careful consideration, the central authorities have adopted a two-chief system in the armed forces, with the military chief mainly responsible for military work and the political chief responsible for internal management. Major matters such as the promotion, rewards and punishments of soldiers and officers must be discussed and approved by the branch committee and the party committee. Therefore, we must strengthen political work, and we must let all the fighters become educated and conscious warriors of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can truly fight bloody battles for the interests of the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese people. ”
On the morning of October 29, colorful flags fluttered in the large playground of the Yancang base. The crossing regiment held a solemn flag-awarding ceremony here, and Bai Baoxiang, on behalf of the Military Commission, awarded the five-star red flag to the first regiment of the army.
The proposal of the five-star red flag as a military flag was put forward by Bai Baoxiang and others, and Bai Baoxiang, Wang Tiezhu, and others had indescribable feelings for the five-star red flag, although some people did not think so, but Bai Baoxiang used the ancient book of "the five-star out of the east to benefit China" to show that the ancients believed that the gathering of the five-star in the east was a symbol of victory, and we can completely take the five-star red flag as our military flag and move from victory to victory.
Bai Baoxiang made a lot of arguments and high-minded remarks, which made the opponents speechless, and the proposal was finally approved by the Central Military Commission.
After the ceremony, Shui Wuxian and Li Juesi sent the executive committee members to the base dock, and a galleys were used as a traffic boat, carrying Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting, Yunlan and others back to the Dinghai General Military Mansion.
