Chapter 668: Zuo Quan and Su Yu (Ask for subscription!) ）

The entire Politburo meeting, from beginning to end, although it has always been full of gunpowder. However, in the case of absolute superiority, Wang Ming's opposition did not cause much turmoil in the entire Politburo meeting. At this stage, the chairman's motion, with the approval of a majority of votes, was successfully passed at the meeting.

"Well, the meeting is almost over now. You can read to you the specific decisions we made at this Politburo meeting..."With the smooth passage of the stage, under the angry eyes of Wang Ming and others opposite, the chairman said with a smile on his face to Vice Chairman Zhou beside him.

"Yes, Chairman...."As he spoke, Vice Chairman Zhou stood up from his seat, and then spoke to the group of Politburo members in front of him.

"Comrades, after discussion by all members of the Politburo, the resolution of the Party Central Committee on the expansion of the Northeast Field Army has been adopted. After discussions, the entire Northeast Field Army will be expanded into a 450,000-strong army in the next stage, which will be directly subordinate to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army with a field army of the same scale. ”

"After the expansion, the entire Northeast Field Army will have six combat corps, each of which will have three corps, and each corps will have three combat divisions, and so on. At the same time, the entire field army also includes the guard divisions and other units directly under it, totaling 30,000 people. After the vote, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army will continue to be Comrade Liu Hua, member of the Central Committee and alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Comrade Luo Ronghuan, member of the Central Committee, served as the first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Peng Zhen, member of the Central Committee, served as the director of the Political Department of the Northeast Field Army. The first deputy commander of the Northeast Field Army is Comrade Yang Jingyu, member of the Central Committee. As for the candidate for chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, Comrade Li Qing temporarily served as deputy chief of staff of the field army because of his lack of experience in various aspects, especially his lack of experience in commanding large corps. As for the selection of the chief of staff of the field army, it will be decided after receiving the advice of Comrade Liu Hua and the field army headquarters. ”

"The appointment of the commanders of the various corps under the field army will be re-determined at that time on the basis of the recommendations of the field army command. At that time, the selection of commanders of each corps will be determined by direct discussion among the five regiments, and there will be no discussion at the Politburo meeting..."

In addition, after the chairman's proposal, the Politburo meeting discussed and approved the re-establishment of the Northeast Bureau in the three northeastern provinces, and appointed Comrade Liu Hua as the first of the Northeast Bureau. Luo Ronghuan, Peng Zhen, and Yang Jingyu were appointed as the first, second and third deputy of the Northeast Bureau. As for the members of the Northeast Bureau at all levels, the final decision will be made after the personnel appointments of the commanders at all levels of the Northeast Field Army are formally determined. ”

As soon as Vice Chairman Zhou's words fell, there was a round of warm applause in the entire conference room. Although, Wang Ming and others, who were sitting directly opposite, were very dissatisfied with this resolution. However, in the face of the absolute superiority of the chairman and others at the meeting, they had to bow their heads and give in to the chairman and others. Follow the trend of applause and applaud together.

In the huge Fengtian City, with the efforts of tens of thousands of commanders and fighters of the third column, after more than a week of recovery, it has slowly recovered from the post-war depression to the previous prosperity. At this moment, Commander Liu Hua is standing in the office on the third floor of the headquarters, standing in front of the huge window, admiring the endless flow of the headquarters and a busy street.

At this moment, Liu Hua didn't know at all, because of his reasons, the Party Central Committee in Taiyuan had just experienced a Politburo meeting full of gunpowder. And now, after this meeting, he has become the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and has become the commander of all the generals, second only to Mr. Zhu and on a par with Mr. Peng.

"Bang bang bang..." A sharp knock on the door interrupted Liu Hua, who was staring at the street not far away at this moment.

As the door opened, political commissar Luo Ronghuan appeared in front of Liu Hua with a smile on his face. A pair of eyes, like looking at a monster, stared at Liu Hua in front of him motionlessly, smiling silently.

Looking at Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar with a mysterious face, reacted to Liu Hua, and asked with a puzzled face: "Political commissar, what happened, looking at your mysterious appearance, is there anything good?" Tell us all..."

"The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, just guess. Commander, from now on, I will change my name to you. Commander-in-Chief Liu, you have been promoted again. This is a telegram that has just been sent, appointing you as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Field Army. At the same time, it has been decided to set up a new Northeast Bureau in the three eastern provinces, and appoint you as the first of the Northeast Bureau to oversee all military and political affairs in the entire three northeastern provinces..."The political commissar said with a smile on his face. ,

"The Northeast Bureau was established, and I served as the first in the Northeast Bureau...."Liu Hua asked rhetorically with a shocked face.

Because Liu Hua knows very well in his heart what it means to be the first in the Northeast Bureau.

You must know that at this moment, the ** Central Committee is only subordinate to the Southern Bureau, the North China Bureau, and the Northeast Bureau. The first of the three bureaus are not members of the Politburo or Politburo Standing Committee without exception. And his appointment as an alternate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee as the first of the Northeast Bureau means that his status in the party is no less than that of a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee...

At this time, Liu Hua didn't dare to continue thinking about it anymore. However, a faint smile had already appeared on his face, and he said to Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar in front of him, who was also smiling: "Political commissar, the central government must have a new appointment for you, right?" ”

"The Central Committee has just nominated me as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at the next National People's Congress. At the same time, I was appointed as the first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army and the first deputy of the Northeast Bureau..."

"Okay, both of us have been promoted. Commissar, quick, tell me, are there any other orders? What about Deputy Commander Yang and the Chief of Staff? ”

"Well, it was decided: to appoint Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu as the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Field Army and the third deputy of the Northeast Bureau. Comrade Peng Zhen was appointed director of the Political Department of the Northeast Field Army and second deputy of the Northeast Bureau. Comrade Li Qing was appointed deputy chief of the General Staff of the Northeast Field Army and a member of the Northeast Bureau. Comrade, it was decided to expand the entire Northeast Field Army. After the expansion, the Northeast Field Army will become a group army with a total strength of 450,000 troops. However, it was decided that the chief of the general staff of the Northeast Field Army and the commanders of the various corps should demand that the headquarters of our field army make its own decision before reporting to the Central Military Commission for the final decision. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied affirmatively.

"Lao Li has developed from a division-level chief of staff in the Red Army period to the current chief of staff of the group army in less than a few decades. According to Lao Li's current experience in command and operations, it is already very good that the central authorities can appoint him deputy chief of staff of the group army. As for the candidate for the Chief of the General Staff, I have two candidates. As he spoke, Liu Hua's eyes showed a hint of sharpness. said with a smile on his face to the political commissar in front of him.

"Mr. Liu, who are the two people?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked anxiously.

"One is the current deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, Zuo Quanzuo, and the other is Comrade Su Yu, the current candidate for commander of a division of the New Fourth Army." Regarding Luo Ronghuan's rhetorical question, Liu Hua did not hesitate and replied decisively.

"Mr. Zuo and Master Su Yu? I am very familiar with Mr. Zuo, but I am worried that our Mr. Peng will not let him go. As for Master Su Yu, I also have a certain understanding. As far as I know, he's a who, like you, is almost the only invincible general in the New Fourth Army. I'm worried that Commander Ye and Mr. Peng will not let people go with the sunshine. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with emotion.

"Hehe, don't worry. Since the Party Central Committee has said this time, what do we want in the Northeast Field Army, the Central Committee will try to add something to us? Besides, the two of us were brought out by Mr. Peng, and for the development of the Northeast Field Army, Mr. Peng will definitely support our decision. Liu Hua said very confidently.

"Okay, since you are so confident, Commander-in-Chief, then the candidates for the Chief of the General Staff are the two of them. In accordance with the order, after the expansion of our Northeast Field Army, it will have six combat corps under its jurisdiction, each of which will have 70,000 troops under its command. On the issue of the selection of commanders of the six combat corps, we must confirm it as soon as possible. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded very approvingly and said.

"The six combat corps must have been expanded from five main columns and a new column. As for the candidates for the commanders of the five combat corps, except for Wang Zhen, commander of the fourth column, who is qualified to be the commander of the corps. The remaining four people, I look at the hanging. With their ability, commanding an army, the strength of 20,000 people is still more than enough. However, commanding large corps of soldiers, they simply did not have any experience. After a short period of contemplation, Liu Hua spoke.

"Be that as it may. However, as the size of the troops expands, their subordinates will correspondingly become commanders of divisions and armies. If their positions do not change accordingly, I am afraid that the commanders will have something in mind. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a worried face. "Besides, without the operational command of a large corps, experience can be cultivated slowly. For example, this time in Mengshan's great victory, the plateau commander will only be good. You must know that our party has grown from small to large, and almost everyone has gone through the test of blood and fire and slowly survived. I think that when they were the commanders of the three columns, the two of us were quite worried. However, they all came over smoothly, and commanding the troops to stand up can be called with ease. My opinion is that the personnel of the commanders of the five combat corps remain the same. ”

"Political commissar, you see that people have always been very accurate, and you can see one accurate. Since you think it's okay, then we will decide that the five of them will be directly promoted to the post of commander of the five combat corps. Next, we will discuss in detail the candidates for the commander of the Sixth Corps. According to my idea, the Sixth Corps will be used as an experimental corps to concentrate the existing resources of the entire field army and form the first mechanized corps of our party. Seeing the political commissar with a resolute look on his face, the questioning look on Liu Hua's face that had just appeared disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a resolute face, and he continued to ask at the political commissar in front of him.

"I have a suggestion..."In response to Liu Hua's suggestion, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan's eyes lit up and replied.

"There were exactly two candidates for the chief of staff of the field army just now. When the time comes, the remaining one person will directly serve as the commander of the Sixth Corps of the Field Army, that is, the commander of this mechanized corps, what do you think? ”

"Okay, in that case, let's call back according to the results we just discussed. I am sure that it will give us a satisfactory answer. Of course, I would like to add another sentence to the telegram to the central authorities: Because of the expansion of the troops, the troops urgently need a large number of commanders, and the central authorities are requested to send us as many commanders at the division, regiment, battalion, and company levels as possible, as well as political cadres. Of course, local cadres are also our Northeast Field Army, and they are urgently needed by our Northeast Bureau...."Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

"Okay, I'll go and send a telegram..." As he spoke, political commissar Luo Ronghuan had already rushed out of the office in a hurry and ran towards the telecommunications room of the group army not far away.

In the Taiyuan war room, looking at the telegram just sent by the Northeast Field Army in their hands, the five people in the central department couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because, the telegram in front of you is like a debt collection document, collecting debts from a few of your own people.

"Enlai, boss, Bi Shi, Shaoqi. It seems that our Comrade Liu Hua really regards several of us as enemies. Comrade Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, has just received a telegram from Comrade Ye Ting that Comrade Su Yu, who is about to be promoted to chief of staff of the New Fourth Army. The two of them are the hearts of Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye, and I am worried that the two of them will not let go of people..."The chairman looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a wry smile.

"I think this problem is difficult to handle, both of them are the pillars of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, we will rush them over, the hearts of the two bosses will definitely be uncomfortable. I don't think it's going to be a good thing to do. As for the rest of the matter, it's much easier. Regiment-level, battalion-level, company-level commanders and political work cadres, we have just graduated from the Red Army University, and when the time comes, all of them will be sent to the Northeast Field Army...."The commander-in-chief nodded very approvingly and spoke.

"I agree with the chairman and the boss. However, I don't think the first suggestion put forward by Comrade Liu Hua is too big a deal. I think that at the beginning, our Comrade Liu Hua was of great help to President Peng of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Especially for the New Fourth Army, if it weren't for the special operations brigade sent by Comrade Liu Hua to rescue the main cadres of the New Fourth Army from the hands, our New Fourth Army might be..."

"I agree with Comrade Shaoqi's opinion, Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye are both old party members. Even if Liu Hua hadn't helped the two of them, the two of them would have let them go. After all, the Northeast Field Army had just been formed and was inferior to the other two armies in many respects. According to my understanding of the two CEOs, the two CEOs will definitely agree to Comrade Liu Hua's proposal...."Comrade Ren Bishi said.

Seeing that the opinions of several people had reached a consensus, Vice Chairman Zhou, who had not spoken, spoke: "Chairman, I agree with the suggestions of Bi Shi and Shaoqi. Both comrades are veteran comrades, and they will certainly understand this issue very well and will certainly support the decision of the Central Committee. ”

"Well, in that case. Enlai, you immediately send a telegram to each of the two CEOs. Forward Comrade Liu Hua's telegram to the two CEOs in its original text and wait for their responses. The chairman nodded decisively, and ordered with a resolute face to the few people in front of him. ,

"Yes, Chairman, I'll send a telegram right away...."Vice Chairman Zhou replied decisively without any hesitation.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and the telegram sent to the two CEOs finally got a reply in the anxious waiting of the chairman and others. Looking at the telegram that had just been received in their hands, several people had a knowing smile on their faces. Because the two CEOs almost discussed, there were only a few words to call back.

"Resolutely obey the orders of the Party Central Committee and support the development of the Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time..."

"Chairman, I just said that the two bosses are both veterans of our party, and their consciousness is not comparable to ordinary people. You see, didn't the two CEOs agree? After reading the telegram in his hand, Ren Bishi, who was in charge of party and government work, said with a smile on his face.

"Well, the two CEOs are worthy of being old party members and senior generals of our party. I know what it means to give up a small family and take care of everyone. Well, now that the two CEOs have agreed, then we have decided. Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Su Yu was appointed commander of the mechanized corps of the Northeast Field Army. At the same time, Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed deputy of the Northeast Bureau to assist Comrades Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan in charge of various affairs of the entire three eastern provinces...."

"Yes, Chairman....", the ** in charge of personnel appointments, replied decisively.

In addition, he sent telegrams to Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye respectively, asking them to immediately send two comrades, Zuo Quan and Su Yu, to the Central Committee to accept the appointment of the Central Committee. Then let Comrade Liu Hua personally come to pick up the people, after all, there are hundreds of cadres at all levels, and we must pay attention to them. The chairman continued to order.

"Yes, Chairman, I'll send a telegram to the three CEOs right away," Vice Chairman Zhou replied decisively.
