Liu Hua's influence

Zhu Qiaolin's arrival was a big event for Liu Hua and for the entire Northeast Field Army. In less than a week, the specific time for the two to get married was finalized....December 6

It is well known that in the early morning of December 7, 1941, aircraft carriers and mini-submarines of the Navy made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the base of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, and the airfield of the US Army and Navy on the island of Oahu. The Pacific War, which shocked the world, broke out. At the same time, the whole time also determines the fate of defeat.

And the commander-in-chief chose his wedding the day before the Pearl Harbor attack. On the one hand, I want to make my wedding more memorable. There is another important reason, I got married, and the important senior commanders of the entire Higashino will definitely attend. At that time, he could hold a war conference under the cover of the wedding, and after the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, everyone's eyes were attracted by the protracted Pacific War. The first stage of the strategic counteroffensive was launched against the troops of the Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces ....

"Commander-in-Chief, have you really decided to hold the wedding on December 6?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked rhetorically.

"It's decided, just this day. When the time comes, I will order that the whole army, in the command organs at and above the division level, must have a responsible person come to my wedding. When the time comes, everyone can get together together through my wedding......" Liu Hua replied very affirmatively.

"Well, in that case, I'll send a telegram to the ministries at once to inform them of this. In addition, you are now an alternate member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, and you must also report to the CPC Central Committee about your marriage. I will send a telegram to the central government immediately to report the news of your marriage..."Luo Ronghuan said.

"Political commissar, you are the big steward of hundreds of thousands of people in our Dongye, you can watch these things. Now, I'm just waiting for the wedding day to come... Hehe, political commissar, during this time, the affairs of the headquarters will be handed over to you and the chief of staff. As for me, during this time, take Qiaolin and take a good look around Fengtian City...."Liu Hua replied briskly.

After speaking, under the stunned gaze of Luo Ronghuan and others, he left the war room with a smile on his face.

In the Taiyuan office, Ye Jianying, chief of staff, rushed into the office with an excited face with a telegram in his hand. In the office, the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou and others who were working in the office, said excitedly.

"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, Higashino Urgent...."

"Huh? The Northeast Field Army, is it our Comrade Liu Hua who has won another big victory in the three eastern provinces. Quick, talk to a few of us old guys...", the chairman asked rhetorically with a smile on his face.

"No, Chairman, this time the Northeast Field Army did not win a big victory. It was our Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's affairs, and Political Commissar Dongye Luo Ronghuan reported that Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua was getting married. The time is pinned to the sixth day of December..."Ye Jianying replied excitedly.

"Comrade Liu Hua is getting married....who is the marriage partner?" The chairman's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked rhetorically.

"Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, former deputy director of the Telecommunications Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters...", Ye Jianying, chief of staff, replied.

"Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, wait a minute... Let me think about it. Boss, I seem to remember that before the reorganization of my Eighth Route Army, Comrade Liu Hua and Zhu Qiaolin were together, and I promised to help them get married. However, because of the sudden outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, this matter was delayed. I really didn't expect that after several years of the Anti-Japanese War, the two destined people still came together, which is really gratifying, and in the future, our Comrade Liu Hua will no longer be alone..."The chairman said with a smile on his face.

"Chairman, I also have an impression of Zhu Qiaolin. As far as I know, this Zhu Qiaolin is from Shanghai, born in a scholarly family, and is an old party member of our party's belief appraisal, and in any respect, she is a very rare outstanding female comrade in our party. And our Comrade Liu Hua is also the best commander of our party. In my opinion, the two of them can be called a match made in heaven..."Vice Chairman Zhou followed closely behind, and replied with the same smile on his face.

"Chairman, Enlai, since everyone is full of expectations for this marriage, I think that our Central Committee should also express our feelings about Comrade Liu Hua's wedding. After all, the current Comrade Liu Hua is not only the supreme commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, but more importantly, he is also an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. If nothing else, at the next party congress, he will definitely be directly co-opted as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee. Therefore, the central government cannot ignore it...."The commander-in-chief said with the same smile on his face. "The boss is right, for Comrade Liu Hua's wedding, one of the three of us must go to congratulate..."The chairman replied affirmatively.

As soon as the chairman's words fell, Chief of Staff Ye Jianying, who was in front of him, said directly: "Three leaders, the telegram said that Comrade Liu Hua hopes that the three leaders can come to his wedding in person, and preside over the entire wedding, and serve him and Comrade Zhu Qiaolin as witnesses..."

"Hehe, this Liu Hua has a lot of appetite, and he actually wants the three of us to go... However, the Central Committee can't afford to leave people, and in my opinion, there is Enlai to preside over Comrade Liu Hua's wedding on behalf of the Central Committee and on behalf of our two old guys. What do you think, boss? After a brief moment of thought, the chairman spoke again.

"I agree with the chairman's opinion, Comrade Enlai, on behalf of the Central Committee, will attend Comrade Liu Hua's wedding and be responsible for presiding over the entire wedding...."The commander-in-chief nodded affirmatively and replied.

"Okay, that's it, Enlai, on behalf of the Central Committee, on behalf of me and the president, went to attend Comrade Liu Hua's wedding and congratulated Comrade Liu Hua..." There were no more surprises, and finally the chairman replied with a decisive word.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief, was sitting on a stool with a smile on his face, looking at a telegram he had just received in his hand. Then, he said with a smile on his face to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, our Comrade Liu Hua is about to get married, and our Eighth Route Army Headquarters, as Zhu Qiaolin's mother's family, will send someone to attend this wedding no matter what. How about it, when the time comes, you will temporarily preside over the affairs of the Eighth Route Army, and on behalf of our Eighth Route Army headquarters, I will go to Comrade Liu Hua's wedding to congratulate me, what do you think? ”

"Mr. Peng, I heard you right, you personally led the team to attend Comrade Liu Hua's wedding. Wouldn't this lineup be too big?" asked the chief of staff with an incredulous expression.

"It's not big...."Mr. Peng replied without hesitation.

"Chief of Staff, you must be clear that the current Comrade Liu Hua is not only the supreme commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, but also has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. More importantly, he has been co-opted as an alternate member of the Politburo, and as long as the time is ripe, it is only a matter of time before he enters the Politburo. At that time, Comrade Liu Hua, both in the army and in the party, had a decisive identity and influence. So, this face, our Eighth Route Army, I Peng Dehuai still have to give it..."

Seeing that the chief of staff in front of him nodded a little approvingly, Mr. Peng continued to speak.

"This time, not only did I go to Comrade Liu Hua's wedding, but also the commanders of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army. In particular, the 120 division's He beard. As far as I know, both Comrade Liu Hua and Comrade Zhu Qiaolin are old subordinates of He Huzi. Therefore, this He beard must go to Comrade Liu Hua's wedding..."

"Mr. Peng, with you and the three division commanders joining. I dare to guarantee that this time to participate in Comrade Liu Hua's wedding, the lineup dispatched by our Eighth Route Army must be the most powerful..."Regarding General Peng's order in front of him, the chief of staff's face immediately showed a look of shock, and said with a look of surprise.

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, if you say so, then you are underestimating the current influence of our Comrade Liu Hua in the party. As far as I know, the Central Committee also received a telegram from Dongye, and at the same time, the Central Committee decided to send Vice Chairman Zhou, on behalf of the Central Committee, to the three eastern provinces to attend and preside over the wedding of Comrade Liu Hua... I can guarantee that the people who attended the wedding this time will definitely not be less than a meeting of the Central Military Commission held by the Central Committee...."Mr. Peng replied.

"What, Vice Chairman Zhou will also go to the wedding...."The chief of staff asked rhetorically with a look of surprise.

After getting the affirmative answer from Mr. Peng in front of him, the chief of staff immediately spoke: "Mr. Peng, now, I finally know that the lineup of our Eighth Route Army to participate in the wedding is not the most powerful..."

In Central China, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, because of the appearance of Liu Hua, the army commander Ye Tǐng was not finally detained by Chiang Kai-shek after being attacked, as in history. Instead, with the cooperation of Liu Hua's special operations division, he successfully broke through. Eventually, the New Fourth Army, which suffered heavy losses, was reconstituted.

After receiving the telegram from Dongye, Army Commander Ye Tǐng immediately summoned Deputy Army Commander Chen Yi, Political Commissar**, Chief of Staff Lai Chuanzhu, Director of the Political Department Deng Zihui and Zhang Yunyi and other military leaders to start an emergency meeting.

"Comrades, I have just received news that Comrade Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of Dongye, will hold a wedding in Mukden City in a month's time. I won't say anything about Comrade Liu Hua, everyone knows that he is the benefactor of our New Fourth Army. If it had not been for Liu Hua's help, our New Fourth Army would have suffered heavy losses under the encirclement and suppression. And I Ye Tǐng himself may also be killed by the enemy. Therefore, for Comrade Liu Hua's wedding, as far as I, Ye Tǐng, am concerned, I must go. Today here, I just want to ask for everyone's opinions, who will go north to Fengtian with me to attend your wedding of Comrade Liu Hua. Who will stay at the military headquarters, continue to command the troops, and fight against the Japanese puppet army during the period of time I leave the New Fourth Army...."Facing the highest-level meeting of the New Fourth Army in front of him, Ye Tǐng did not hesitate and directly said the specific topic of the meeting. ,

"Army Commander, as far as I know, for Comrade Liu Hua's upcoming wedding, when the time comes, Vice Chairman Zhou will be present at the central side, and as for the Eighth Route Army, General Peng will personally lead the team. Although, we don't pay attention to pulling the mountain, comparing face. However, the scene that should be needed is still there. More importantly, Comrade Liu Hua is also the life-saving benefactor of our New Fourth Army. Therefore, I completely agree with the army commander's opinion, and the army commander will personally lead the team and go north to attend Comrade Liu Hua's wedding...."Deputy army commander Chen Yi followed closely and replied very approvingly.

"I also agree with the army commander's opinion, and the army commander will personally lead the team to Fengtian to attend Comrade Liu Hua's wedding..."

With the speeches of the three people, the remaining few people, of course, did not have any opinions on the proposal of Commander Ye Tǐng, and immediately passed it by unanimous vote.

"Comrades, since the decision has been made, then when the time comes, I will personally lead the team. After I left, the entire New Fourth Army and all important military and political affairs were handed over to the political commissar and Deputy Commander Chen. How about it, our military headquarters, is there anyone who will go north with me..."With everyone's approval, the army commander Ye Tǐng immediately opened his mouth and ordered.

"Commander, I'll go too. When I was in northern Shaanxi, Comrade Liu Hua and I still had this certain friendship. Now that Comrade Liu Hua is married, I will congratulate and congratulate me on whatever I say..."Zhang Yunyi immediately spoke.

In this way, the huge lineup led by the army commander Ye Tǐng himself was also finalized at this meeting...

The marriage of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua can be said to be a great joy for the Northeast Field Army, which has experienced almost a year of war. As the news spread, except for a few main forces on the border of the base area, in order to prevent the little devils from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, they were still in a state of readiness. In Mukden City, where the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army is located, because of this great event, it has slowly been filled with laughter....

Early in the morning, when Liu Hua, who was full of spring breeze, had just walked into the war room for a routine report. A jī sound quickly reached his ears, so that Liu Hua, who was about to finish the report and went out to visit Fengtian City, had to stay in the war room...

"Commander-in-Chief, Central Telegram ...."

"The Central Committee has decided to send Vice Chairman Zhou to Fengtian to attend and preside over your wedding on behalf of the Central Committee....I really didn't expect that, Commander-in-Chief, even the Central Committee was shocked by your marriage..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a look of emotion.

Just when Liu Hua hadn't reacted from this shocking news, the voice of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan once again sounded in his ears: "Commander-in-chief, there is still something here." The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army called back, and General Peng, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, decided to personally lead the team and come to Fengtian to attend your wedding. When the time comes, the commanders of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army will follow Mr. Peng to Fengtian to attend your wedding...."

As soon as Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's words fell, Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing's voice immediately reached his ears: "Commander-in-Chief, this is just received a telegram from the New Fourth Army, and the commander of the New Fourth Army has also decided to personally lead the team and go north to Fengtian to attend your wedding." Now, Commander Ye Tǐng has led the team to set off. After about half a month, I will be able to rush to Shanhaiguan...."

Hearing the news of a series of shocks, Liu Hua was almost out of breath. Liu Hua decisively interrupted Li Qing, the deputy chief of staff, who wanted to continue. Then, he asked rhetorically with an incredulous face.

"Wait... Political commissar, chief of staff, Lao Li, you just said. Vice Chairman Zhou, General Peng, Commander Ye, and the commanders of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army will all come to the Northeast to attend my wedding? ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that after releasing your news, it would cause such a big reaction. I can say that when all these people are here, the people who come to attend the wedding can be called a meeting of the Military Commission....Of course, the telegram that has just been received, if nothing else, the side, even the Red Army of the Soviet Far East, will send representatives to attend your wedding...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied very affirmatively.

"And the Red Army of the Soviet Far East ... Commissar, when, I actually have such a big influence. A small wedding not only alarmed the Central Committee, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army. Even with the Soviet Red Army? At this moment, Liu Hua was still in infinite shock, and asked with an incredible face.

"Hehe... Commander-in-chief, I don't know about this question, you can only ask yourself....However, being able to come to so many important tasks can be regarded as a blessing for my Northeast Field Army. At the same time, you can also show the outside world the latest strength of my Northeast Field Army through your wedding...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan shook his head helplessly and said. , "Political commissar, chief of staff, Lao Li, since so many seniors look up to me Liu Hua, then we must entertain these people well and ensure their safety." In particular, the security of Vice Chairman Zhou, President Peng, and Commander Ye. Deputy Chief of Staff Li, this matter will be handled by you, and troops will be transferred from the guard division immediately to Shanhaiguan to welcome the arrival of a few people. At the same time, I ordered the intelligence department of the headquarters and the security department to move all of them. Before the arrival of several palms, I must ensure the safety of Fengtian City, and uproot all the Japanese puppet spies hidden in Fengtian City..."

"As for the representatives of the Red Army side of the Soviet Far East, they were handed over to the commissar for processing. While showing these people the strength of our Northeast Field Army, we must keep what we should keep secret, and we must not let these people see anything that they should not see. Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Yes, commander-in-chief, you can rest assured, I promise to complete the task...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan and Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing replied in unison.

"Chief of Staff, during this time, the affairs of the headquarters are temporarily pressed on your shoulders. When the deputy commander-in-chief comes back from Meihekou, he can share a lot of burden on you..."Liu Hua continued to order.

"Please rest assured that the Commander-in-Chief will complete the mission," replied the Chief of Staff with a confident face.
