Chapter 184: Lobbying
Zheng Weiguo pretended not to know, and was still talking about the construction of the base area. He pointed to a small mountain village in front of him and said, what it was like before, what it is now, and what it will be like in the future...... Zhang Qun drew a blueprint for the construction of a new countryside.
Zhang Qun felt depressed, but he couldn't interrupt, so he had to listen hard. He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, that is, he lacked understanding of Zheng Weiguo and the 33rd Division, thinking that as soon as the special envoy of the chairman arrived, these miscellaneous troops would be pasted up. But the 33rd Division was not without food and clothing, and it was not so urgent.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Qun decided not to go around in circles with Zheng Weiguo, after all, he also had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and couldn't keep spending like this. So he sighed and said, "Brother Weiguo, the commission has high hopes for you. At present, the Central Plains War is rising, and the talents of the party and the state are needed to contribute to the country, you can't hide in North China and enjoy peace! ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "North China is also a battlefield, where can it be called peace, and insisting on the War of Resistance behind enemy lines is also contributing to the country!" The chairman of the committee awarded both the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun and the Zhongzheng Sword, which shows that he supports the development of our unit behind enemy lines. ”
Zhang Qun waved his hand and said, "Since you and I are commensurate with brothers, we should be honest with each other, and there is no need to say these words." Although North China is very important, the key at the moment is in the Central Plains, do you admit this? ”
Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Brother Yue Jun is right! ”
In fact, the best way to deal with the Japanese army is that you fight yours and I fight mine, concentrate forces to attack the weak links of the Japanese army, and minimize frontal combat with the Japanese army. It is a pity that the national army's ability to organize and mobilize is too poor, and it lacks the spirit of taking the initiative to fight.
The Japanese army will defend wherever it hits. Surrendered all the initiative to the Japanese army. For example, at present, the Japanese army is focusing on attacking Xuzhou, and the national army only knows that it is accumulating troops to defend it to the death, resulting in hundreds of thousands of troops falling into passivity.
Zhang Qun said: "Okay! Are you willing to lead your troops south to help Xuzhou? ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Earlier, I entrusted Chief Wei to submit a proposal to the Military Commission, which was about the Battle of Xuzhou. I wonder if Brother Yue Jun has seen it? ”
Zhang Qun said with a smile: "I read it before leaving, it is indeed exquisite!" The chairman also said that your report is full of data, clearly organized, and has sufficient arguments, and can be used as a model for the CMC to submit reports in the future. ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is a typical purchase of pearls. The format couldn't be more exquisite. It's just to show the content better. Now that the content is abandoned. What's the use of a good format?
Since the victory in Taierzhuang, Captain Chang has made a wrong judgment on the strength of the enemy and us. As a result, he gave birth to undeserved ambitions, thinking that he could enter the stage of stalemate in advance.
This is even more true after the victory in the southeast of Jin, thinking that Tubalu can do it. Naturally, the national army is not a problem. So 50 elite divisions were concentrated to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Xuzhou area.
This bug is really low-level. Just like the Battle of Songhu, the national army desperately insisted on waiting for the mediation of the League of Nations. Of course, in front of Zhang Qun, Zheng Weiguo would definitely not say it so directly.
He glanced at Zhang Qun and said, "I have made it very clear in that suggestion. Xuzhou must not be defended! Our 33rd Division is not afraid of death, but I will not take my brothers to die, because such sacrifices are meaningless. ”
Zhang Qun said a little angrily: "The battle hasn't started yet, how can you easily say defeat?" Brother Weiguo, you won't stay in the ravine for a long time, and your ambition will be exhausted, right? ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Brother Yue Jun, you don't have to provoke me. You also studied military affairs in Japan, so you should know that victory in the war was decided before the war began. After the gunshot, it was nothing more than a process of deduction. ”
Zhang Qun sighed and said, "I have been in politics for a long time, and the military affairs have long been unknown. Since you say so, I will definitely tell the commissioner when I go back, and ask him to consider it more. ”
Zheng Weiguo said solemnly: "Xuzhou is a flat river, there is no danger to defend, if the government does not withdraw its troops, fifty elite divisions will be in danger!" If Brother Yue Jun can convince the chairman, he will be of immeasurable merit! ”
Zhang Qun smiled bitterly: "What kind of merit is to persuade the head of state to abandon the land, I hope that the people of future generations will not scold me!" He also said: "Since Xuzhou cannot be defended, brother defending the country, in which generation do you think the national army should be deployed?" ”
Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "This prince of the dynasty has his own tricks, and I will not be in the limelight as a little teacher!" ”
Zhang Qun smiled: "You, you, it's really slippery than oil-soaked loquats!" ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "I am just a division commander, I just have to fight a good battle and drive the devils out of China as soon as possible." I don't care about the rest, and I don't want to care. ”
Zhang Qun said: "Then are you willing to go to Henan?" ”
Zheng Weiguo was puzzled: "My department is less than 10,000 people, even if I go to Henan, how much role can it play?" ”
Zhang Qun said: "The commission intends to expand the 33rd Division into an army, and Wei Guo should have heard of it, right?" ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "This is just an intention, it's hard to say whether it can be successful!" ”
Zhang Qun said: "This is not an intention, but a decision. The right to decide is in your hands to defend the country! ”
Zheng Weiguo thought to himself, after talking for a long time, he finally waited for the meat, so he hurriedly said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
Zhang Qun said: "Since the battles of Songhu and Taiyuan, the elite of the national army has been mourned and urgently needs to replenish new blood. The chairman of the NPC National Committee hopes that you will lead your troops south to accept the reorganization and set an example for the soldiers of the world. ”
He added: "Brother Weiguo, don't worry, after the reorganization, the troops will still be under your command, and you have the right to appoint and dismiss officers below the regimental level!" ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "I am now ordered to garrison North China, if I lead my troops to the south, what will happen to the people and land here?" ”
Zhang Qun said: "What's so bad about this? There are other national armies in North China that can take over! Wouldn't it be a pity for an elite unit like the 33rd Division to be trapped in one place, good steel should be used on the blade! Brother Weiguo, you should also have a bigger stage, not just be a small division commander. ”
He Zheng Weiguo did not express his position, but said: "There is also good news for you, the commission felt the weakness of the combat strength of the various units of the national army, and decided to equip several elite units with the latest Soviet-style weapons in order to play a decisive role in the battle. Among them, there is a place for your 33rd division! ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Well, I've heard a little! However, it's not just our 33rd Division that is waiting to be selected! Although we belong to the Central Army sequence, in the final analysis, we are still sidelined, how can such a beauty difference fall on us! ”
Zhang Qun smiled: "You are wrong!" In fact, the one who is really waiting to be selected is your 33rd Division, and the other alternative troops have been vetoed, just to accompany the prince to study! ”
This time it was Zheng Weiguo's turn to be surprised, and said, "Really? ”
Zhang Qun said: "Of course it's true! As a matter of fact, in the minds of the commissioners, the armed forces are only divided into strong and weak combat effectiveness, and there is no act of alienating relatives and relatives. There are too many misunderstandings among the people about the commission, so don't listen to rumors, you will know this later. ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Brother Yue Jun, the stakes are very high, you have to let me think about it again." Besides, this is not my business alone, I must have the support of the soldiers, and I can't be good at it! ”
Zhang Qun said: "This is how it should be! However, I want to remind you that supporting the army and separating one side is an evil road, and at present, the whole country is united under the banner of the chairman of the committee to resist the war, and there is no future as a warlord! ”
Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Why did Brother Yue Jun say that, could it be that I saw the potential of a warlord?" ”
Zhang Qun smiled and said, "Of course you won't be a warlord to defend the country, it's just a foolish brother's words!" ”
Back at the headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Division, how is the situation?" ”
Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Judging from the current situation, the chairman may really have no malicious intentions, but just wants to co-opt us." Of course, after the co-optation, it is probably indispensable to rise and fall, comprehensively communicate, study with work, and arrange a quiet position for retirement after the most reluctance. ”
He recalled Zhang Qun's words, what rushed to help Xuzhou, what did not understand military affairs, and what expanded the Soviet armed army, all around one purpose, that is, to let him lead his troops south to accept the reorganization. It seems that the losses of the national army in the past half a year are indeed very large, otherwise they would not be so eager to expand their strength.
Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This Mr. Yue Jun is really powerful, he can be said to be alive if he dies!" ”
Zheng Weiguo was unimpressed, and said: "From his standpoint, this is understandable. ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I want to make a deal with the chairman, but I don't know if he is willing or not!" ”
On the other side, Zhang Qun was also muttering to his entourage. His entourage is not an ordinary person, they are all masters of intelligence, rebellion and even assassination.
One of the attendants said: "Junza, as far as I can see, there are no traces of Red Party activities in the vicinity. However, there must be a Red Party mixed in the 33rd Division! ”
Zhang Qun hurriedly said: "Do you have conclusive evidence?" ”
The attendant said: "No, the Red Party is very cunning and does not show up in public. But I've been dealing with them for so many years, I can smell them without looking! ”
Another attendant also said: "I also feel that something is wrong, the spirit of this army is too similar to the Eighth Road!" ”
Zhang Qun shook his head and said, "What does this mean?" Zheng Huzi can be said to have invited the instructors of the Eighth Road to train. He is now a famous anti-Japanese general, and such a little thing can't move him at all! ”
He paused and said, "The first task given to us by the commission is to ensure that the ministries in North China are not pulled away by the Red Party, and the second is to thoroughly absorb them into the central military system. As for eliminating the hidden dangers of the Red Party, that is what the military commanders should do, and there is no need for us to interfere. You have to keep this in mind, and don't let the small be the big one! ”
Several attendants hurriedly said: "Yes, Junza!" ”
Zhang Qun sighed, and said: "Zheng Huzi doesn't want to go south, I'm afraid that the task entrusted to me will not be completed, do you have any good solutions?" ”
An entourage said: "Junza, in my opinion, Zheng Huzi is still very enthusiastic about fighting Japan, not that he doesn't want to go south, but he is just worried about losing his troops." I think we should first dispel his concerns and let him feel our sincerity! ”
Zhang Qun's eyes lit up and said, "Well spoken, you go on!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
