The conference room was silent for a moment, and after a while, He Yingqin opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Chairman Huang also said just now that this matter must be rushed and must be carried out step by step. No matter what happens, we have to do a lot of preparation beforehand. Liu Jian, you are the eldest brother among these people, come, take the lead in making a statement. ”

Liu Jian saw his name and knew that it was not good to shirk it, he thought about it and said, "I don't have any opinion." The direction of this march has a different emphasis, and I obey the arrangements of the Military Commission, but ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Jian paused slightly, and after glancing at Huang Ke, He Yingqin and the others, he said: "I just made a rough calculation, with so many divisions, we have at least 60 to 70 divisions to fight overseas. With so many troops, plus troops from Mongolia, Tibet and other places, the basic defense of our homeland. We still need to continue to increase the number of troops. ”

"In this way, the spending on national defense will still occupy the same major position as the domestic war against Japan. Of course, the domestic war is an extraordinary time, and the whole nation is facing an existential threat, and we must do so. Now that we have dispersed the Japanese troops on our homeland, is it necessary to continue to live like this? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian paused, his tone was slow, but it shocked everyone. But he didn't stop there, but continued: "Of course, that's not something I should be thinking about. As a soldier, I should think about how to fight every battle. I have to say these words, though. ”

"I passed through a village in northern China, which was not very large, with only a few dozen families. But these dozens of families could not find a complete house, many families did not have a complete bedding, and even the bowl for eating was not enough for each person in the family. ”

Speaking of which, he emphasized, "Attention! I'm not talking about one or two households, but a widespread phenomenon in North China and even in rural areas across the country. It has been decades since the Xinhai Revolution, and the living standards of the people in many places are still not much different from those of the former Qing Dynasty. Aren't these things for those of us who are high up in the temple to consider? So, I think for now, we should reduce the size of the army, use the youth and the strong enough to restore production, and solve the economic problems first. That's all for me, and as for the arrangement, I obey all the decisions of the Military Commission. ”

Liu Jian said that the tone of the latter was a little heavier, but it was deafening. Liu Jian has always given the impression of being gentle and elegant, with a pair of black-framed glasses on his face, a khaki military uniform, and his hair is not combed very neatly, and he is dressed as a Confucian general.

However, Huang Ke knew that he was an extremely strong person in his bones, which could be seen from the fact that he did not use anesthetics during the Great Revolution and did not say a word.

He Yingqin saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so he said roundly: "The issue mentioned by Liu Jian does not belong to the scope of discussion by our Military Commission. However, it can also be discussed at the Central Executive Committee. ”

"This issue can also be discussed." Huang Ke interrupted He Yingqin's words, he straightened up, put his arms on the table, crossed his hands and fingers, and pursed his mouth a few times unfreely, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said: "The problem mentioned by Liu Jian is very real, and we should pay attention to it. The common people and the army are inseparable, and it is impossible for us to discuss the other issue separately. Of course, there are a few things that we can put on hold, but there are also a few things that we have to do. ”

Huang Ke looked at everyone and continued: "Let me talk about Tibet in our country, this march is imperative. Compared to the other two, there was much less fighting on the frontal battlefield of Tibet, after all, the central government had always been present here and was not occupied by the Japanese army. But ......"

He continued: "The Tibet issue has more to do with the national economy and the people's livelihood. We know that Tibet's current political system is theocracy, and its social system is still a form of serfdom. In this way, not only is it difficult to ensure the dignity of ordinary people, but it also has an extreme impact on the development of productive forces, and it is even difficult to reach the central government's decrees. "In the past, after we fought the warlords and fought Japan, we were trapped by various conditions, we gave the local government a high degree of autonomy, and even retained a part of the Tibetan army, but now, we need to abolish this backward system."

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he set his eyes on Liu Jian, and he asked, "Liu Jian, are you willing to go to Tibet?" ”

Liu Jian never thought that he would send himself to Tibet, and after thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "It is my duty!" I obey orders. ”

Huang Ke, He Yingqin and others whispered a few words and said, "The Military Commission was originally inclined to let you go to Tibet. Of course, this is not because of the effect of what you just said, we have discussed it before. There are two purposes for allowing you to lead troops there, one is to strengthen the presence of the central government there and safeguard the territorial integrity of the country, and the other is to carry out the necessary economic and political reforms on the ground. Tibet is different from other places, transportation is difficult, the people are complicated, you have to go not only to abolish serfdom, but also to improve the local infrastructure, preferably to build a road between the Tibetan area and the hinterland, and so on. None of these things are very important. ”

Liu Jian stood up this time, his eyes were sharp, and his face was grim: "Yes!" Please rest assured, the leaders of the Central Executive Committee, that I will not come back unless Tibet is built well. ”

"Well, it's good that you have that determination." He Yingqin said with a smile: "The Military Commission has decided to transfer 15 divisions from the North China and East China troops to form a unit to enter Tibet, and you only have more than a month to prepare, first enter the Kham area, learn the basic Tibetan language, and then adapt to the plateau environment, and then prepare to enter Tibet." ”

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After deploying the mission in Tibet, Huang Ke thought about it again and said: "For the time being, we can not attack Taiwan, and I will mention this matter at this meeting of the heads of state of the four countries." As long as Japan is defeated, Taiwan is bound to be returned. However, we still have to take part in the war on the Japanese mainland, and in addition to enhancing our national self-confidence, we still need to hone our troops. As you all know, there is still a big gap between the firepower and equipment of our troops and the armies of many countries. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Ke stretched out his right index finger and said: "Let me give you an example, at present, our most mechanized troops, the First Group Army, the 1st Expeditionary Army and other troops, a mechanized integrated division has about the same amount of ammunition as a division of the Japanese army, about ten tons. However, an ordinary army division of the US military can deliver more than 400,000 tons of ammunition at a time. Not to mention the United States, it is the Soviet Red Army, and the gap between us is still obvious. ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning after hearing this, they are all professional soldiers, and they are all army commanders, it is impossible for them not to know these situations. There is no doubt that compared with the world's first-class military, there was still a big gap between the Chinese army at that time.

"That's one of the reasons why we're involved in the war against Japan. Of course, what is more important is the post-war pattern, the development situation of the world, and so on. After the war, it became clear that Japan was to be occupied by the Allies. Coupled with various factors related to international relations, we must send troops to Japan. ”

Everyone listened attentively to Huang Ke's speech. Huang Ke took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, everyone lit them one after another, and the room began to smoke.

"After the war, the two major power blocs of the United States and the Soviet Union will inevitably form a situation of incompatibility, and China and the Soviet Union have a large amount of territorial borders, and there are even many territorial disputes. At present, we belong to the camp of the United States, but we cannot completely rely on the United States, let alone act as their bridgehead. In order to maintain a certain degree of independence between the United States and the Soviet Union, a strong military force was indispensable. ”

With a stab, Huang Ke struck a match to light the cigarette, and shook it again to extinguish the match.

"We haven't chosen this candidate yet, Cui Wu and Xue Boling, which of you is willing to pick up this burden?" Huang Ke asked.

Cui Wu and Xue Boling glanced at each other, Xue Boling made a gesture of "you first", and after Cui Wu understood, he said: "Chairman of the Committee, and the chiefs, I still recommend myself." I led my troops to prepare for an attack on the Japanese mainland. ”

After Huang Ke and He Yingqin whispered in a low voice, He Yingqin asked Xue Boling next to him, "Boling, what is your opinion?" ”

"Since Commander Cui is willing to pick this girder, I don't have any opinion. I obey the central arrangement. Xue Boling said.

"Well, since that's the case, that's it. It's not too early, and everyone adjourns. After Huang Ke finished speaking, everyone stood up with joy and anger, and then left the venue one after another.

……

After the battle on home was over, the troops began to rush to the sea. The most important thing is to send troops to the Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia.

There is a lot of hype in the newspapers, and it is constantly broadcast on the radio, and China is standing up! The Chinese also stood up! In today's China, the mighty army has sent troops in all directions, and the great powers are majestic and mighty in all directions.

At that time, under the planning of Propaganda Minister Chen Bui, grand celebrations were held in Nanjing, Wuhan, Shanghai and other large and medium-sized cities. Vendors, students, and even beggars from all over the country join the parade to celebrate this great victory.

At that time, China was silent in a sea of joy.

At the same time, the arrest and liquidation of traitors after the war were also carried out in an orderly manner. The Reserve Cadres Department dispatched a number of working groups to the major occupied cities and began a vigorous "post-autumn reckoning."

At this time, the reserve cadre department has absolute power, and Yang Yibing's official residence at this time is full of people, and the people who come and go are side by side, and the gifts sent over can be piled up.

One flag fell, and the other waved again!
