Chapter 470: Secret Merge Meeting
The next morning, after Chen Jinghui woke up, Tang Yan made breakfast. After breakfast, Chen Jinghui and Chen Hu went to the general headquarters together.
When they arrived, the others arrived at the headquarters one after another. Chen Jinghui took them to a large conference room, and then began to tell everyone what he and Commander Mao had discussed, and asked everyone for advice.
At first, many people didn't understand why Flying Fox was so powerful and needed to merge with others. But after Chen Jinghui's careful explanation, everyone slowly understood, and then understood Chen Jinghui's intentions. But although everyone understands what Chen Jinghui meant, they still have their own worries. So they voiced their worries one by one, and both the military and the local authorities put forward many opinions.
Chief among them is that the officers and local officials of the Flying Fox are relatively young. If the seniority is ranked according to the policy of Yan'an, I am afraid that the ability of these people will be buried and their enthusiasm will be discouraged. More importantly, they do not agree to the integration of the two armies, and still want to maintain their independence. But they agreed to one thing, and that was to agree to the transfer of officers in the upper echelons of the army.
Chen Jinghui didn't speak, just listened carefully to the questions raised by everyone, and then recorded them one by one. After everyone finished expressing their opinions, Chen Jinghui solved the problems he could directly solve one by one, and the problems that needed to be discussed with Yan'an expressed his convergence with Yan'an for discussion.
In the end, after half a day of discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to merge with Yan'an and establish a consensual regime leadership.
In the remaining two and a half days, Chen Jinghui first greeted everyone in the control area, and then selected some troops for review. In particular, the construction of the Navy and the Marine Corps was of special concern to Chen Jinghui. In particular, the transformation of the two devil aircraft carriers that were salvaged, as well as the construction of aircraft carriers and new warships developed and designed by themselves.
Chen Jinghui then continued to return to Wuhan to take up his post. A month has passed in a flash, and the time has entered the end of March. During this period of time, Chen Jinghui did not have anything, just dealt with some daily state affairs, and then went to various places to inspect the situation in various places and revise some detailed policies.
"Commander, the telegram from Yan'an."
On the morning of March 26, 1942, as soon as Chen Jinghui got up, Li Dali came over with a telegram from Commander Mao.
"Well, you contact the family and say that I will leave for the inspection right away and get them ready."
Chen Jinghui read the telegram and then burned it. After going downstairs and hurriedly eating breakfast, he flew back to Jiangxi with Li Dali and others.
"Commander, you're back, everything is ready." When Deputy Commander Xu and others saw Chen Jinghui coming back, they immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Very good, go tell Yan'an that we are ready." Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Deputy Commander Xu turned to leave.
"Old Deng, you have already notified the local authorities!" Chen Jinghui asked.
"Back to the commander, all the notices from the local authorities have been in place, and I have personally gone down to inspect it, there is no problem." Secretary Deng said.
"Uncle, Lao Chen, is there any new problem on the part of the troops?" Chen Jinghui asked Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Chen.
"Back to the commander, the troops are all ready, there are no problems." Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Chen replied.
"Very well, it's eight o'clock, go and tell you, we'll leave on time at ten o'clock." Chen Jinghui said.
"Hehe, welcome to Yan'an, please take a seat."
At about eleven o'clock, Commander Mao was very happy to see Chen Jinghui and the main cadres of the Flying Fox coming, and he arranged the largest reception room to entertain Chen Jinghui and them.
"Hehe, why did the commander suddenly become polite, besides, some of my people here were originally borrowed from Yan'an, and they were originally a family." Chen Jinghui said
"Hehe, Jinghui is right, you look at Xiao Deng, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Xu were all borrowed from us by him before, but I didn't expect that they have now become the pillars of the country and the pillar talents of the Flying Fox, it seems that we still don't know people!" said the commander-in-chief.
"Don't be sarcastic, boss, we are also loved by Commander Chen, so we have made a little achievement, but we don't have any great skills." Secretary Deng and others said modestly.
"Okay, let's hurry up and discuss some details. The place is big, and we need to establish a unified leadership system. Chen Jinghui interrupted everyone to change the subject.
"Yes, that's exactly why he asked him to bring everyone here this time." Commander Mao said.
"Okay, let's discuss and discuss how to appoint personnel more appropriately." Commander Mao said.
"Now our total strength in Yan'an is 800,000, and the total strength of Flying Fox is already 1.5 million. Therefore, I propose that Chen Jinghui be appointed commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief said.
"I don't agree, I think Commander-in-Chief Zhu should be the commander-in-chief of the merged army, I should be the deputy commander-in-chief, and I suggested that Chen Yi should be the chief of the general staff, Ye Jian should be the general political commissar, and Chen Hu should be the deputy general political commissar." Chen Jinghui said.
"Agreed, this appointment is reasonable." Commander Mao said.
"Agree" the others raised their hands to pass.
"Oh well! Since everyone agrees with this kid, I have nothing to say. But now that the troops are so large, how can we divide the defense areas of the troops. The commander-in-chief said.
"I have already thought about this, and I suggest that we divide into three military regions after the merger, namely the Northwest Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, and the Eastern Military Region." Chen Jinghui proposed.
"Consent"
"Consent"
Everyone raised their hands to approve Chen Jinghui's proposal.
"Okay, I propose that Lao Peng be the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, Xie Yu be the general political commissar of the Northwest Military Region, and Liu Bocheng be the chief of the general staff of the Northwest Military Region. Xu Xiang was the former commander-in-chief of the Eastern Military Region, Zuo Quan, the chief of the general staff of the Eastern Military Region, and the chief political commissar of the Eastern Military Region of Zhang Jun. Xu Jun was appointed commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region, He Long was appointed chief of the general staff of the Northeast Military Region, and Feng Jianghong was appointed deputy general political commissar of the Northeast Military Region. The commander-in-chief said.
"I agree with the commander-in-chief, and I propose that each military region have 1.5 million troops, and after today, a new round of conscription will begin in various localities." Chen Jinghui said.
"We also agree" others agreed with the appointment of military personnel.
"The military side is all confirmed, but how can government officials be sure." Commander Mao said.
"It's just, it's a headache." Deputy Commander Zhou said.
"I'll start with my opinion. First of all, Commander Mao continued to serve as commander-in-chief, and this cannot be changed. A new post of prime minister was created, with Deputy Commander Zhou as the prime minister, who was in charge of national affairs. Secretary Deng was changed to vice premier to assist the prime minister in his work. As for the main candidates for the following departments, they are nominated by the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers, and then voted on by the General Assembly. Chen Jinghui said.
"This proposal is good, Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief of State Affairs, this position is well established, I agree." Deputy Commander Zhou said.
"Hehe, it's really good, I didn't expect this kid to have such a mind. But I have a question, Jinghui, what position are you going to hold in the government? Commander Mao asked.
"Am I already the deputy commander-in-chief! That's enough, there is no need to hold any more positions. Chen Jinghui said.
"That's not good, you are a commander-in-chief of a flying fox and only hold the position of deputy commander-in-chief, isn't it wronged by you. Besides, your talent is obvious to all, and you can't just let your kid stay like this. Commander Mao said.
"Yes, it does. Your local policies are so unique, and they're very effective. If you are not only an important person in the government, but you are indeed burying talents. Deputy Commander Zhou said.
"Just now you said that Lao Zhou should be the prime minister, and the position of deputy commander will be vacant, so it is better for you to hold it!" Commander Mao proposed.
"I agree, it's just right for him to be the deputy commander-in-chief, I have no opinion." said the commander-in-chief.
"I also agree that Jinghui's local government affairs skills are indeed extraordinary, and he sees many things very far and thinks very thoughtfully. The things he formulated covered almost every aspect. He will assume the post of deputy commander-in-chief, and I raise my hands in approval. Deputy Commander Zhou said.
"I said you can't let me rest, I finally found a chance to relax, you guys are good, bring me so many things, and let me live. I used to be the commander-in-chief of the Flying Fox, and that was because the people under my command were all young and inexperienced, so I kept chasing ducks to the shelves and supporting them by myself. Now that you guys are here, what else do you need me to do? Chen Jinghui said.
"Don't talk nonsense, deputy commander, you shouldn't let anyone be the one, I saved you, what do you think." Commander Mao asked.
"I've just said it, I have no opinion, raise my hands in agreement." said the commander-in-chief.
"I said it too, and I raised my hands in agreement." Deputy Commander Zhou said.
"Naturally, we agreed, no opinion."
These people who are working on Flying Fox also agree with Chen Jinghui to serve as deputy commander. In fact, they were worried just now, although Chen Jinghui served as the deputy commander-in-chief, in terms of the army, they were covered. But locally, Flying Fox simply doesn't hold important positions. They know about the rectification of Yan'an, and many times they will be detained for some reason, and then they will be completely destroyed, and they may even lose their lives.
Now that the commander-in-chief has proposed Chen Jinghui to be the deputy commander-in-chief, it can be regarded as someone covering them in terms of rectification, and if someone makes any small mistakes in the future, they will not be caught by others by the pigtails.
"You're alright! I promised to be deputy commander-in-chief. ”
Chen Jinghui showed that his clothes were very reluctant and agreed. In fact, he himself has thought about this problem for a long time, and the reason why he adjusted Deputy Commander Zhou to the position of prime minister and vacated the position of deputy commander was actually left for himself. He also understands the rectification struggle in Yan'an very well, and he must also think about his own things, and he can't let them be bullied inexplicably.
