Just under the chairman's order, it was less than three minutes away. At the door of the conference room, there was a rush of footsteps. Immediately after, a report reached the ears of several people. As the door of the conference room was pushed open, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan stood at the door of the conference room..."Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan, come in, don't let us old guys wait....There are two empty seats opposite, you can sit on those two empty seats!" Seeing the two people with obvious nervousness on their faces, the chairman pointed to the two empty seats next to the conference room, and said with a smile..."Thank you, Chairman, thank you, leaders..."

"Comrade Liu Hua, if nothing else, this is the first time you have attended a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee!" Looking at Liu Hua, who was sitting on the stool with a nervous face, the chairman said with a smile, wanting to relieve Liu Hua's nervousness sitting in front of him.

"Chairman of the report, chiefs, this is indeed the first time that I have participated in such a high-level meeting of the Politburo. I was a little nervous when I had a meeting with so many leaders at one time..."Liu Hua nodded and replied embarrassedly.

"Well, with the first time, there will be nothing to be afraid of in the future," the chairman nodded, and said with a pun. Then, he continued, Liu Hua, don't be too nervous, you just use this place as a conference room for the Shanxi Military Region Headquarters. I believe that when you hold a meeting in the military region, you must be free to sway...""Yes, chairman....chairman, I don't know if you have called me and the political commissar over to attend the Politburo meeting as observers. You must know that the political commissar and I are not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting in the party..."Regarding the chairman's pun answer, Liu Hua, who was very nervous at this moment, did not understand, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Hehe, you have to ask our Mr. Zhu this question. Boss, the two comrades Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan you are looking for are right in front of you. If you have any questions, you can feel free to ask them boldly. I believe that Liu Hua will not dare to lie in front of our old fellows..."The chairman replied with a smile..."Chairman, leaders, if you have any questions, just ask, I promise that you will answer any questions, and I dare not have any lies..."

"Yes, chairman, leaders, if you have any questions, just ask, the division commander and I must know everything, please rest assured..."

"Okay, Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan, let me ask the two of you. This time, you have given a great gift to the Party Central Committee, which can be said to have taken us by surprise. I called you over today, it is related to these materials, and a few of our old fellows want to know, what other results did your reading division achieve in this Pingjin Campaign, in addition to the capture of hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials? The commander-in-chief didn't hesitate and asked straight to the point.

"Ah, that's the problem, report to the commander-in-chief, the specific amount of seized materials is counted by the political commissar and the chief of staff, as for the specific situation, I can't say clearly, I only know that in the Pingjin area and the homes of those Han anniversaries, at least 100 million silver dollars have been seized, plus the assets of all the overseas Chinese in the two places and the seized gold, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry are all added up, I estimate that there are at least 300 million..." Liu Hua shook his head, said speechlessly, and then looked at Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar sitting beside him.

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Chiefs, let me answer this question. According to statistics, during the period of our army's occupation of the Pingjin area, a total of 164.26 million oceans were captured in the two places. In addition, about 150 million worth of gold was seized. Plus the seizure of US dollars, pounds and other foreign currencies at several banks, plus some gold and silver jewelry seized. All of them are 394.58 million silver dollars in total...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghua, in the shocked eyes of everyone, replied loudly....

"A whole four hundred million, so many. , my mother, I really didn't expect that the Pingjin area, under the management of the little devils, would be so rich....However, Comrade Liu Hua, so much money has been seized, why did you hand over 150 million funds to the central government this time. What are you going to do with the remaining 250 million funds? "In the face of a huge amount of money. Although the chairman and other leaders have already prepared in their hearts. But still stunned. Just after a few people reacted, the chairman asked Liu Hua in front of him, wanting to know where the bulk of the funds went...

"Chairman of the report, chiefs, as for the whereabouts of the remaining 250 million funds, this is the next thing I will report. At present, almost the entire North China region has been completely occupied by our Eighth Route Army. However, because of the wanton destruction of the army, there is almost no heavy industrial equipment in the entire North China. And all kinds of bullets, shells that our army urgently needs. Large-caliber shells, in particular, as well as all weapons, depended almost on capture. This can be said to be very unfavorable to the future development of our army. Therefore, after the occupation of Beiping, we approached the embassies of European and American countries and asked for a large amount of money to purchase a batch of heavy industrial equipment and production lines of bullets and guns. In our occupied areas, to develop the heavy industry of our Eighth Route Army, to make our own guns and ammunition....therefore, I have kept most of the funds. However, the gold and other hard currency we seized were basically completely handed over..."Liu Hua hurriedly explained..."Okay, well done, now our Eighth Route Army lacks nothing, the only thing we lack is heavy machinery and equipment, as well as production lines for the production of various weapons and ammunition. Comrade Liu Hua, when you were negotiating with European and American countries, what heavy equipment and production lines did you order..."Comrade Chen Yun, who was in charge of the entire [***] economy and logistics, after listening to Liu Hua's answer, his whole eyes lit up at once, and he hurriedly asked..."Report chief, I dare not guarantee anything else. But this, I absolutely guarantee that all the equipment I ordered is urgently needed by our Eighth Route Army, please rest assured..."His thoughts were admitted, and Liu Hua's nervous heart that he had just mentioned immediately put down and replied.

"Well done, I really didn't expect that you could think so far, and in the process of fighting, you thought about the future development of our Eighth Route Army. If you do a good job, just because of your idea of developing industry in the rear, I will raise my hands in favor. Liu Hua, you have passed the capital level, let's talk about the next thing, in addition to the seized funds in the Pingjin area, are there any other seizures? Regarding Liu Hua's decision and answer, the chairman nodded approvingly and affirmatively supported.

"Thank you, Chair, for your trust, and thank you for your trust. In the whole battle, in addition to the captured funds, there are three main aspects, one is in the Pingjin area, beckoning a large number of recruits, and the other is in the Pingjin area, a large number of strategic materials have also been seized, including medicines, grain, cotton, etc... Finally, in the Pingjin area, after almost half a month of mobilization, a total of nearly 700,000 people have moved to various areas of Shanxi Province with their families and all their assets..."Liu Hua continued to reply....

"My mom, you're mobilizing here, it's just robbing. A whole 700,000 people, have you robbed all the population of the entire Pingjin area...."Vice Chairman Zhou's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief....

"Liu Hua, even I have very doubts about this matter, why do you want to mobilize the people in the Pingjin area to carry out long-distance migration, this is a matter of labor and money, tell me your reason..."The chairman also frowned and asked rhetorically.

"Report to the chairman, chiefs, although the migration of such a large population is a matter of labor and money. However, I would like to ask you to listen to my explanations for a few reasons: First, the Pingjin region, which has become an important economic region after the development of the Chinese military, can be said to have become an important economic region. If we empty the entire Pingjin area, it will deal a heavy blow to the economy of the Japanese army. The Han and Annihilation expatriates who were left behind in the Pingjin area, and after our seizure, were already destitute, and they would also be a heavy burden. Second, among the 700,000 bridge people who have migrated, a large amount of capital has been brought back to the base area in the process of migration, which will have a very huge effect on the development of our base area. The last reason is that the people in the Pingjin area and all kinds of skilled workers have a certain amount of cultural knowledge in the whole country. As a large number of intellectuals join in the construction of our base areas, it will play a very important role in promoting the development of various heavy industries and other aspects in the development of the base areas in the future. Of course, in the process of migration, all rely on the principle of voluntariness, please rest assured that my teacher has absolutely not violated any disciplinary issues...."Liu Hua stood up, and replied in an orderly manner under everyone's gaze.

"Well, well said. I really didn't expect that a population migration problem could bring so many benefits. Chairman, I feel more and more that we old guys are getting old. Such a simple thing, why didn't we think of it, it's really terrifying...."Vice Chairman Zhou, who has always been very concerned about various people's livelihood construction, said with a sudden sigh of understanding.

"Yes, we old guys are old, and we haven't seen such an obvious problem. Well, let's not talk about it, in the future, our business will be in the hands of young people sooner or later. However, today is not the time to discuss this issue. Liu Hua, we are already clear about immigration. Let's move on to the next question, let's talk about the various strategic materials that have been seized," the chairman nodded with a smile and then asked.

At Liu Hua's signal, political commissar Luo Ronghuan stood up again and said to several people: "Chairman, leaders. In this Pingjin campaign, in half a month's efforts, in order to achieve the goal of not leaving a single grain and a little strategic material for the little devils, we almost swept the entire Pingjin area... Among them, the main ones are all kinds of food, cotton and various medicines that our Eighth Route Army urgently needs during the war stage. ”

"Well, these strategic materials, if they encounter the blockade of little devils or even the Kuomintang diehards, are the three strategic materials that our Eighth Route Army troops urgently need. Well, you've gained a lot this time...."The chairman mused.

"Yes, Chairman. In addition to the various grains we captured in the port of Tianjin, during the entire Pingjin Campaign, our army captured about 100 million kilograms of various grains, 10 million catties of various cotton, cloth, about 50 tons of various medicines, and medical blood. According to the commander's wishes, all these strategic materials have been hoarded in the strategic reserve of the Shanxi Military Region to be used as a backup to prevent possible accidents...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan stood up and said with a proud face.

"Comrade Luo Ronghuan, what strategic reserve?" For the huge amount of strategic materials seized, after the foreshadowing of the huge amount of funds in front, several leaders did not show too much surprise. However, the serious chairman still found something he was interested in from Luo Ronghuan's words at the first time. With a sentence spoken. The eyes of several leaders were once again all focused on Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan.

"Chairman, leaders, this strategic reserve is the latest proposal of Commander Comrade Liu Hua. At the beginning, there was only one idea, that is, to leave a way back for the future development of the troops. However, now his role, because of the more and more materials he has hoarded, is also slowly changing...."Liu Hua replied..."Well, the strategic reserve. I seem to remember that Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang political axe, in order to resist the war, began to build this strategic reserve three or seven years ago. Moreover, this strategic reserve did play a lot of role in the frontal resistance of the Kuomintang political axe. If we guess wrong, your strategic reserve is to deal with sudden natural disasters and major wars..."The chairman replied with a smile on his face, because Liu Hua gave himself too many surprises today..."Yes, chairman, this strategic reserve, plus all kinds of materials for this firefight, has hoarded a total of 200 million kilograms of various grains, enough for a million army to last more than a year. Hoarded all kinds of cotton and 20 million catties of cloth, enough to make the carrying equipment of a million troops. In addition, in our strategic reserve, we have also hoarded countless weapons and ammunition of various kinds to prepare for possible accidents...."Luo Ronghuan said..."Huh? Comrade Luo Ronghuan, there is a large amount of weapons and ammunition hoarded in the strategic reserve. Quickly, report to all of us how many weapons and ammunition you have hoarded...."Hearing the words weapons and ammunition, the commander-in-chief's face immediately showed an excited look, and he hurriedly asked..."Report to the commander-in-chief, chiefs, after two years of production and hoarding, plus this huge seizure. In total, we have stockpiled nearly 100 million rounds of ammunition of various types in our strategic reserves, in addition to nearly half a million rounds of artillery shells of various types. As for weapons, because of the massive expansion of the troops, there are basically no reserves..."Luo Ronghuan replied..."What a foresight, Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan. I am here, on behalf of our party, on behalf of all the troops of the Eighth Route Army, thank you... With this strategic reserve, our Eighth Route Army can easily cross it at the most critical time, you really think too far..."The chairman said with a smile of satisfaction on his face.

"Chairman, Chiefs, as a [***] member, this is what we should do...", both replied at the same time.

"Yes, as a [***] member, that's our job. However, if you can take into account the long-term development of our army, you can see that the two of you are truly attentive to the cause of our party. By the way, Comrade Zhang Hua, there is one last question, that is, the recruits you have recruited... How many recruits did you recruit in the Pingjin area this time? The commander-in-chief asked quickly.

In the face of the commander-in-chief's inquiry, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan immediately told the 30,000 recruits that the army had just recruited in the Pingjin area. At the same time, the three recruit brigades that had been reorganized in the army also made detailed reports word for word, and several leaders could not help but exclaim one after another at the two of them..."Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Luo Ronghuan." Tonight, you two, surprise us old fellows one after the other, and more importantly, almost every piece of good news keeps me awake at night. They are all [***] members, so I won't say thank you. That's all for today's meeting, and the two of you will have a good rest when you go back. Tomorrow, I have a very important task for the two of you? "Looking at the clock on the table, the chairman said..."Please give the order, the two comrades stood up and said..."There is no need to give an order, my task is very simple, tomorrow day, whether the two of you are through the radio or by your own memory, you must put into my hands the things that you talked about tonight about the strategic reserve in the form of words. This matter has a bearing on the future of our party, and we have to pay attention to it... In addition, the content of today's meeting is top secret, including me, and I can't disclose it to anyone...", the chairman said.
