The guards who suddenly appeared disrupted Huang He's original plan. He and the brigade commander glanced at each other, and they both saw a little helplessness in the other party's eyes.

Needless to say, the next ad hoc meeting will definitely include the advisory panel.

"Let's go, let's go say hello to Lao Hu and Brother Wen first, after all, hanging guests in the conference room is not hospitality."

"As for the things I just mentioned, I also arranged for someone else to help adjust. You just need to make a statement at the meeting, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter. ”

Hearing this, the brigade commander nodded.

Whenever it comes to major or serious matters, the arrangement of the Yellow River is absolutely watertight, and this is the consensus reached by the comrades after getting along for nearly two years.

Soon, they were back together with their allies.

Regarding the temporary meeting, Lao Hu and Brother Wen both said that it was understandable, after all, the Eighth Route Army was fighting against the North China Front, and it was normal for there to be emergencies.

agreed to talk another day, Chen and Huang followed the guards to the inner north hall.

Located in the northern part of the East Garden, the hall used to be the place where Yan Laoxi held secret meetings, and is now used by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

After entering the small conference room, Huang He found that there were not many people in the room, only the deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy general staff, the bearded division commander, the infantry expert, and his eldest brother.

"Hey, it's not even today."

Hearing Huang He's whispering, the brigade commander first pulled him to sit next to his deputy division commander, and casually began to explain:

"The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is preparing for the second Battle of Xinkou, and Lin and Nie naturally can't get out. However, after the meeting, someone will send them a record. ”

"Our 129th Division is fighting with the troops directly under the North China Front, and the division commander must be in charge of the overall situation, so I can only have a meeting with the deputy division commander."

After everyone was seated, the Deputy General Staff got up from his seat and took a pencil to the wall-mounted map.

"Before the formal meeting, we have to finalize the advisory group."

"This is the first time we've worked with France and the Vietminh, and the Desperate War Fox has been watching this matter for a long time. We need to come up with an accurate answer sooner rather than later, and we can't make our allies wait too long, otherwise it will appear that we are not sincere. ”

"Chen, what do you think as a party?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang He's heart suddenly chuckled, and then he was extremely happy.

If he hadn't ventilated with Lao Dai in advance, his old leader might really have to go to Southeast Asia, and he might not know how many sins he suffered psychologically and physically.

Meeting the gaze of the deputy general staff, the brigade commander worded and said:

"If the organization needs it, I will definitely take the advisory team to help the allies in Southeast Asia."

"It's just that I personally hope to stay in North China, and it's hard for me to be distracted from doing anything else until I completely drive the invaders out of the land of China."

Hearing this, the deputy general staff officer involuntarily showed a surprised expression.

As far as he knew, more than an hour ago, Lao Hu had almost convinced his old friend. But now that the other party has a new idea, something unknown must have happened during this period.

The only variable could only be the Yellow River!

Thinking of this, the deputy general staff officer looked at someone Huang, and his eyes seemed to see through everything.

"It seems that you have your own opinion on the matter of the advisory group, so let's tell everyone, let's see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd."

After being named, Huang He immediately got up.

"Personally, I don't think it's a perfect choice to let Comrade CG go to Southeast Asia. First of all, the comrades there are deficient in both military and ideological terms, and the leader of the advisory group should be proficient in both of the above-mentioned tasks. ”

"Secondly, after the subsequent opening of shipping routes, the leaders of the advisory group also need to dock with the navies of the allies, and there is a great chance that they will become our first-generation admirals in the future."

"And Comrade CG has only been in contact with the army field since he joined the army, and I even suspect that he has never seen the sea, which obviously does not meet the standards just mentioned."

"Finally, the climate in Southeast Asia is harsh, which is not suitable for comrades with dark injuries."

The three reasons that sounded so tight instantly made the bigwigs in the conference room fall into thought.

On the Viet Minh side, they all heard from the comrades of the Eighth Office. It seems to be a reasonable premise that the leadership of the advisory group needs to be proficient in both military and political affairs.

As for docking with the Free French navy, this was a blind spot that they had not carefully considered.

After all, the border region has not yet made up its mind, and it has not yet been decided whether to build a navy in Shandong or directly embark on ships from Southeast Asia.

However, it is certainly not wrong to plan for a rainy day, and it is certainly a very reasonable choice to choose a future naval seedling to go to Viet Minh.

What's more, the last suggestion was taken most seriously by everyone present.

As comrades who have been fighting side by side for many years, everyone knows what the brigade commander's health situation is. Chen's fast legs back then have now become Chen's "lame", and if he continues to toss again, he is afraid that he will become a waste leg sooner or later.

After thinking for a moment, the Deputy General Staff broke the silent atmosphere in the conference room, and he was the first to ask:

"I see that you have thought it through so thoroughly, then there should already be a suitable candidate in your heart."

"Don't worry to speak up, as long as everyone thinks that person is okay, I can make the decision to settle the affairs of the advisory group."

With the guarantee of the old leader, Huang He silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Not to mention whether the final outcome can be changed, at least now the most difficult first hurdle has passed.

"I personally believe that Director Xiao of the rear guard office is fully qualified for the position of advisory group and political commissar."

"If the deputy regiment commander is concerned, I propose that Cheng Shifa, the commander of the 386 Brigade and the 772 Regiment, be the commander. For the position of chief of staff, you can consider Ding Wei, the commander of the new 1st Regiment of the 386 Brigade. ”

"As for the other positions, we need to think about it together. After all, I don't have many military cadres in normal contact, and I don't think about things as thoughtfully. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene in the conference room fell silent again, and everyone present continued to think about whether the above three people could be qualified for the corresponding positions.

First of all, Director Xiao, who has a good cultural background, once went to the north and went to college.

Before the reorganization of the army, he served as commander, political commissar, and chief of staff, and even successfully completed the transformation of the old army.

The most important thing is that his personal resume and qualifications are no worse than those of the brigade commander, and outsiders can't find an entry point even if they want to pick a thorn.

I've sent you over to guide the work at this level of thighs, and who's to say that we don't care about the advisory group? Don't care about your first collaboration?

The second is Cheng Shifa, don't look at the Iron Triangle all day and night, the blind man is long, the blind is short, but he is a colonel with eight meridians.

He is also an old comrade who has climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, and has struggled against the Japanese invaders for more than four years, so his military ability is naturally not weak.

What's more, there are only 12 military cadres of this level in the Eighth Route Army. As the deputy head of the advisory group, he can also make up for the lack of Director Xiao's establishment.

The last is Ding Wei, Lao Ding has always had an idea to fight, and his strategic vision is also very outstanding.

If it weren't for Li Yunlong's affairs and staying in the new group, maybe his current position could have been further improved.

The most rare thing is that this guy is very good at communicating with people, even if he meets foreigners, he can eat well, and his social skills are definitely in the first echelon in the Eighth Route Army.

He and Cheng Blind are both disciples of infantry experts, and they also have some experience in training recruits, and they are definitely the best candidates for chief of staff.

After ten minutes of heated discussion, everyone present began to vote under the leadership of the deputy general staff. Before the official vote, he looked at Huang He and asked one last question.

"As far as I know, you didn't go out much during your time in the border area. Usually, except for Lao Zeng and Lao Wang, I basically haven't dealt with anyone. ”

"It stands to reason that you shouldn't have been in contact with Director Xiao, why do you want to recommend him to Southeast Asia to support your allies today?"

In fact, for Huang He, the reason for recommending the other party as an advisory group is very simple.

In the original timeline, the other side basically guarded the security of the border area during the entire anti-Japanese period, and even if it went to Southeast Asia, it would not have any impact.

What's more, now that a large number of air forces have been deployed in the border areas, the level of security has already risen by several levels, and nothing will happen if there is one less senior commander.

The most important point is that they are the future leaders of the navy, and it is naturally a good thing to help the other side get in touch with new fields in advance.

Of course, Huang He certainly can't directly say the above thoughts. I saw him clear his throat and take out the answer that he had prepared a long time ago.

"It's true that I haven't seen Director Xiao, and I even learned about his existence through Li Yunlong of the First Marine Regiment."

"The reason for recommending the other party to be in charge of the advisory group is very simple, I mainly consider that he has repeatedly thwarted the Japanese army's attacks on the mother river defense line, and he is very familiar with river defense and water warfare."

"Let's not look for someone who was born as a sailor, but at least we need to find someone who has been in contact with water."

Hearing this, the deputy general staff nodded.

"Those who agree that Xiao, Cheng, and Ding will go to the aid of the Vietminh as representatives of the advisory group, please raise your hand."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present raised their hands, only Master Beard hesitated slightly before raising his hand.

After seeing that the unanimous vote was passed, the deputy general staff signaled the correspondent to start writing a telegram and truthfully reporting the contents of the meeting just now to the border districts.

During the pause of the meeting, he silently walked to the side of Huang He and whispered:

"It seems that you have a really good relationship with your brigade commander, and you have really put a lot of effort into keeping him in North China."

"But remember to be more abundant next time you think of a reason, Lao He and I both know that Director Xiao is a landlubber, look at how uncomfortable that bearded man was just holding back his smile."

Although his careful thinking was seen through, Huang didn't feel embarrassed at all.

In a sense, the arrangement he just made was not harmful to the three parties.

However, he has always been curious about one thing, that is, why the desperate war fox chose a landlubber to form a navy in the first place.

As if guessing the question of the Yellow River, the deputy general staff continued:

"To be a naval commander, you don't have to go to sea every day. Maybe our future leader of the Air Force will still be a person with airsickness. In the current situation, he just needs to choose the right people to do the professional thing. ”

"Actually, the reason why I agree with it is very simple, Director Xiao's experience in transforming the old army is a very outstanding plus, and it is indeed very suitable for working in Viet Minh."

"And, don't think you're the only one who cares about CG's health. You've only known him for a long time, but we have been dealing with him for more than ten years. ”

"Alright, sit down and continue the meeting!"

It's not that I'm lazy, I wrote until 6 o'clock yesterday morning, but I'm still not satisfied.

After an all-nighter, I had a nosebleed when I went to work this morning, so miserable.

This chapter was forced to be changed, but it didn't have much impact
