Chapter 19: Talents

Xia Xinsheng looked at several leaders and said: "There are many schools in Kunming, I suggest that we ask the central authorities for instructions, and let's go to various schools and streets and alleys in Kunming to mobilize some talents from all walks of life to join the Red Army." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info No matter what kind of talent, we want it. Some of them may not be needed now, but they will be treasures in the future. Especially after we have a new base area, we must find a way to build our own factories and make whatever we can. Many talented people play an irreplaceable role in the construction of base areas. You can fight with your life in a war, but science and technology can't be done by working hard, you must have talents! The sooner we collect and train qualified personnel, the better, and we must ask the central authorities to pay attention to them. In terms of materials, let Chairman Long support points, and we can still ensure the supply of these intellectuals along the way. In particular, the teachers and professors of each college must pay full attention. As long as they are willing to go with us, we will carry them in a sedan chair and carry them to our new base intact. As much as possible, we should arrange for some comrades with a relatively high level of education to do ideological work, so that there will be more common topics, and the results will probably be better. ”

Xia Xinsheng paused for a moment, and then said: "The scope of talents can be set wider, such as hunters, blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen, should also be counted as talents. There are also many rural doctors, many of whom are ancestral doctors, and have accumulated a lot of experience in practicing medicine and good prescriptions for several generations. It's all within the scope of our collection. In the future, when the conditions are suitable, we will also establish our traditional Chinese medicine school in the base area, carry forward the good things handed down by our ancestors, and provide better medical conditions for the vast number of soldiers and civilians. ”

Liu Bocheng said: "Okay, we will draw up a telegram and ask the central authorities for instructions. ”

The telegram said: Luo Binghui will be in charge of Kunming's defense, red expansion, and material collection work, and that Liu Bocheng will lead Chen Geng, Xia Xinsheng, and comrades of the provincial party committee to set up a special working group to be responsible for the preliminary work, with Liu Bocheng as the team leader, Chen Geng and Xia Xinsheng as deputy leaders, and the members of the group will be selected and transferred by the three of them through consultation, and the central authorities will lead a special working group led by Vice Chairman Zhou to Kunming before the central authorities to take charge of this matter. After receiving the telegram, Liu Bocheng summoned Luo, Chen, and Xia to the second floor of the office building of the Long Mansion.

Liu Bocheng reported the contents of the telegram, poured a glass of water for Xia Xinsheng, and said, "I don't know if you have any good suggestions for this matter?" Comrade Xia Xinsheng, you strongly proposed it, so I will let you talk about your views first. ”

Xia Xinsheng didn't refuse, took the water and said: "Chief Luo and Chairman Long are both Yi compatriots, and they have both worked in the Yunnan army, and there are more common topics, I suggest that Chief Luo talk to Chairman Long first, since the other party has agreed to cooperate with us, we must have enough respect for him." Moreover, such a large-scale mobilization will inevitably be secretive, and it will certainly have a considerable impact on the Yunnan army and will certainly bring them a lot of trouble, which is something that we must take into account before carrying out the mobilization. ”

Xia Xinsheng took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said: "As for the specific mobilization, I propose to divide it into several parts, first, the mobilization of major ordinary colleges and universities, I suggest that the mobilization of progressive students and teachers should be the mainstay, supplemented by teachers and students with long talents or top-notch talents. Second, in the mobilization work of military academies and academies, I suggest that we should give priority to medical and technical personnel, that is, we should focus on tackling key problems in aviation schools and military medical schools, which will help us establish military medical schools and aviation schools after establishing new base areas, so as to prepare for the establishment of hospitals and air forces. At the same time, the books and research equipment of related majors should also be brought with them as much as possible, and they should be classified and packed according to the importance and storage requirements. Even if it cannot be completely brought to the new base area, it is necessary to take it out of Yunnan, find a reliable location to hide, and then take it when the time is ripe. Third, for special talents, including geological exploration, mining, smelting, machinery, military industry, and other types of talents, we must mobilize them with the greatest efforts, and we must ask the central authorities for authorization, no matter what doctrine the other party believes in, no matter what class it is. As long as there is no blood debt to the people, no betrayal to the nation, and as long as they are willing to contribute to our revolutionary cause, we will give the other side a written promise in the name of the Party Central Committee, and will not engage in suppression or liquidation. And inform the whole party. If this matter is to be difficult, we must first find these talents, and I will report to Vice Chairman Zhou and the Central Committee separately, if the party thinks that this is wrong, I am the only one who wants to kill the head and suppress the rebellion. “

Chen Geng stopped doing it and said: "I think this matter is of great benefit to the party and the Red Army, but you are not the only one who is not afraid of death, I and Commander Liu support such a good suggestion, and we should take responsibility for our position higher than you, and we should carry it." Liu Bocheng also nodded heavily.

Xia Xinsheng said: "For the matter of special talents, don't send a telegram to the past, Vice Chairman Zhou came over, and I will report to him alone." Don't fight with me, the Red Army has no big loss without me, but it's different without you. Besides, although your status in the party is higher than mine, and your qualifications are older than mine, it is not necessarily okay for me to say anything, so it is difficult for you to say it. That's it, I'll add a few more to the previous suggestions. There are so many of us, and we can only take a limited amount of books, so we can only bring science and technology books, and don't bring anything else. The tools are mainly equipped with precision measuring tools and experimental equipment that are difficult to obtain, and other types should also be brought, but they are packed separately and found a suitable place to hide after being transported out of Yunnan. Recruited talents must be well registered, and the knowledge they have mastered in the field they have learned must be recorded in detail, so that they can play a greater role in the field they are good at in the future. At the same time, it is important to ask them what kind of books are needed in their profession, the importance of various types of books, etc."

Liu Bocheng asked: "How to carry out the specific aspects?" “

Xia Xinsheng said: "I suggest that the comrades of the provincial party committee should be in charge of this matter for the talents of ordinary colleges and universities, because they know better than us what progressive students are in major schools and what the ideological dynamics are. If there are special talents or top-notch talents, the comrades of the provincial party committee will submit the list, and we will depend on the specific situation. In the military academy, only Chief Liu is personally responsible, and I have never seen anything in it! “

After a short meeting, the plan was finally decided. The provincial party committee will assist in mobilizing teachers and students from major colleges and universities to collect information on special talents, with Comrade Chen Geng taking overall responsibility and Commander Liu personally responsible for the mobilization of military talents. Considering that Xia Xinsheng, as the most seriously injured and the only wounded person who occupied Kunming, he did not arrange the task for the time being, but under Xia Xinsheng's own strong request, he was responsible for the work of the hand and came up with ideas.

In fact, Xia Xinsheng really can't do anything, although he knows a lot of traditional characters, but it is still very difficult to read books and newspapers, and it is easy to expose the bottom of the traverser. What's more, the generation gap of more than 70 years is not to be seen that way, and Xia Xinsheng is empty when he thinks about it. This is also the reason why Xia Xinsheng has not participated in ideological and political work since the beginning of the spy company, and he is far from integrating into this era. It's very easy to integrate, you can do it yourself in time, and it's hard to integrate, or take your time in a short time. What's more, it's still an injury, especially the one in the chest, the most painful thing about internal injuries is that you can't see it on the outside, and only you know if it hurts.

The work began quickly, and the whole group began to get busy, Xia Xinsheng's chest still hurt badly, and he couldn't speak loudly, and when he acted violently, he broke out in a cold sweat, so he didn't follow the action and became the only idler in the group.

By the time the group met late that night, more than 20 teachers and professors had been recruited, and there were even more advanced students, more than 570 students. More than a dozen special talents have also been found, and all the information has been collected, and we will wait for the approval of the central government to carry out research on key problems. It's just that there is not much progress in the military academy, after all, at this time, the Red Army has become a rogue in the eyes of most people, living a precarious life. Moreover, Long Yun's anti-communist activities in recent years have made the army smell red, and most of them refuse to communicate with the group. Under the leadership of Commander Liu, many attempts were made, but none of them had good results. The whole group sat in the conference room with helpless eyes and stared at each other, and for hours there was no constructive solution.

When Luo Binghui, who attended the meeting, reported on the day's work, it was exciting, and the harvest was very huge. Not only persuaded Long Yun to allow the Red Army to recruit talents in various academies and universities, but also recruited nearly 2,000 young and strong soldiers of the Yunnan Army to join the Red Army family with Long Yun's acquiescence, because Long Yun has been introducing French-style weapons and equipment to the Yunnan Army in recent years, he has generously supplied to the Red Army a lot of various weapons and ammunition that have been outdated from the German system and those that have been redressed, and all kinds of medicines, including white medicine, have also promised to prepare some for the Red Army, more than 2,000 mules and horses, nearly 500,000 catties of various grains, more than 20,000 catties of bacon, 2,000 catties of salt, and 1,000 catties of sugar. There is also a batch of military uniforms. This made the whole group happy, and swept away the haze of military school recruitment.

Xia Xinsheng thought for a while, and said in a voice as loud as possible: "There are a lot of supplies, but can you fight with Chairman Long again and help us get some more sugar, white sugar and brown sugar, many times a sip of sugar water may save one more life." On the clothing, I don't think it can be like this, the clothes are not good, and the quilt needs to be a little more. Find a way to make the quilting so durable, it will not affect the use if it is scratched by a branch or something, sew the strap at both ends and in the middle, and use it as a padded jacket with a bundle on the body, these two things can also mobilize our soldiers to do, but the corresponding materials have to be asked to others. I think the military shoes of the Yunnan army are also very good, can we also fight for as many as possible, and distribute them to the soldiers, we usually wear straw sandals on the march, wear military shoes when needed, and socks are best to ask for some, and when the central government comes, let's see if we can ask for some compensation for silver dollars or something to Chairman Long, that guy is dead, not to eat and not to wear, let some weight to carry more useful materials. In addition, if there is a steel helmet or something, as long as it is not equipped by the Dian army now, try to point it over, that guy is easy to use, he can protect his head when fighting, and he can also use it as a pot in peacetime. “

As soon as he finished speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou's voice sounded outside the door.
