Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After hearing what He Zhengdao said, Zhou Enlai and Zuo all thought of this evaluation of He Zhengdao.In the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao seems to be very forward-looking in his arrangements, always putting some things ahead of others.

But right now, they are still playing games with the Japanese invaders, but He Zhengdao has already thought of the matter of the defeat of Japan and the reorganization of the government.But both of them must admit that once this idea is established, He Zhengdao's layout is crucial.

After all, supporting a pro-China new Japanese government is probably very important for China, which will also need a huge amount of funds to rebuild at that time.At least for a short period of time, there is no need to worry about Ribo stumbling China's recovery and reconstruction.

Just when the two of them hadn't digested He Zhengdao's previous preparations, He Zhengdao continued: "Vice Chairman Zhou, Chief of Staff, I know that both the central government and the headquarters are a little worried about the Nationalist Government's claim of undermining the unified war of resistance.

But in fact, have they ever regarded us as friendly troops?The chairman is right, sometimes you need to be strong to strike the iron.The so-called tolerance will only make the Central Army feel that we are easy to bully.Sometimes, we also need to show off our muscles.

What's more, ordinary people are not all fools.A few years ago, didn't they splash sewage on our heads?This time, if they can show sincerity, I don't mind handing over some captives to them.

In fact, for these captured Japanese soldiers, except for some skilled ones, I will hand over all the rest to them, and I will not be reluctant.Raising such a group of people here will only waste our food and energy.

Today, we also have base areas in nearly three provinces, and tens of millions of people under our rule.If the Central Army really falls out with us, it may benefit the little devil fisherman.But for the Central Army, are they really a good thing?

Not to mention far away, if the Central Army dares to tear itself apart, I guarantee that the entire territory of Henan will be recovered immediately.At that time, all affairs in the north will have nothing to do with them.Since the Anti-Japanese War, we have actually killed more little devils than them.

So I don't want to give in to the Central Army delegation this time.Since they think I'm young, it doesn't matter if I'm a little crazy.Even if we engage in a public opinion war, will we really lose to them?

At least for now, our Eighth Route Army, through these victories and the recovery of Suiyuan and Chahar, has increased its domestic and foreign influence.It is also time for us to ask for more voice and decision-making power. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said: "Zhengdao, I admit that what you said is still reasonable. It's just that the whole country is fighting against each other in unity, which really caused friction between the two parties. In the end, we, Huaxia, will lose anti-war strength.

Regarding your thoughts, I will give suggestions to the central government later.When I came here, the chairman also said that I will lead the negotiations on the surface, and you will raise the actual conditions.In short, it is enough not to let us suffer too much.

Although our current situation is much better than before, the development of various troops is also good.But the chairman still feels that under the current circumstances, our two parties and armies will benefit from cooperation, and hurt from confrontation, so it is necessary to bear with it. "

He Zhengdao also nodded when he heard Zhou Enlai's words: "Please rest assured that the central government and the headquarters, I will obey the decisions of the central government and the headquarters at any time. Regarding this negotiation, I think it is better to wait for their bids first.

There is just one thing, we must see the money or supplies first, and then let them transfer the captives away.If it just stays on the lips and on paper, I will not approve it.To be honest, I can't believe their talent of reneging on debt! "

Seeing He Zhengdao's answer, Zhou Enlai and Zuo all seemed very satisfied.As He Zhengdao's influence in the country and the party and the army increased.In some matters, He Zhengdao did have a certain decision-making power and voice! (To be continued.) 8

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On the evening of his arrival in Yulin, He Zhengdao invited He Yingqin and his delegation to a welcome banquet in the name of the head of the Independent Division.Although it is not formal, at least it feels pretty good to the delegation.

Even during the visit today, He Zhengdao made it clear that they would not let them take the prisoners away easily.But the reception banquet tonight still gave He Yingqin and the members of the delegation enough face, making it difficult for the delegation to say anything.

At least they all know that if the Eighth Route Army instead sends a delegation to Chongqing, or even some places they control to visit and exchange.It is already very good to be able to avoid stumbling blocks.Not to mention, holding this kind of welcome banquet.

Originally, he wanted to talk to He Zhengdao about handing over some prisoners during the meal.But He Zhengdao smiled and said: "Minister He, let's wait until we sit down tomorrow to talk about this kind of business! Eat and drink well tonight, and everything will be fine."

Facing the answer given by He Zhengdao, He Yingqin couldn't say much.At least the secret telegram sent to the government in the afternoon made him feel a little better.It seems that Lao Jiang is not as stingy as he imagined, and he is willing to show some sincerity.

However, in the call back, Lao Jiang also clearly told He Yingqin that the Eighth Route Army should not let the Eighth Route Army make progress.Although the national government has a little money now, more of the money will be used to prepare for the next war of resistance.

If it costs too much, Lao Jiang would rather not have these prisoners than give too much money to the Eighth Route Army.At least Lao Jiang knew that obtaining these prisoners of war would indeed help to enhance the image and influence of the government during the War of Resistance.

However, the Eighth Route Army's telegram report has made it known to many citizens and those who followed the War of Resistance to a certain extent.The No.12 Division that actually surrendered was not their Central Army, but the Shaanxi Eighth Route Army.

What the Central Army could not do, the Eighth Route Army, regarded as a local army, did.Even though the southern regions guarded by the Central Army consumed a lot of strength of the Japanese army, it was still difficult to conceal the fact that they were constantly losing control areas.

In contrast, the Eighth Route Army wiped out no fewer little devils than the Central Army on the anti-Japanese battlefield, and even recovered Suiyuan, most of Shanxi, and some occupied areas in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei.Compared with the two, the Central Army has paled a lot.

Even the newspapers now controlled by the Central Army accuse the Eighth Route Army of only knowing about guerrilla warfare.But the battle to recover Suiyuan and most of Shanxi, as well as this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, can be described as large-scale frontal battles.

Their accusations, in the face of such a victory, seem somewhat untenable.Now they want to use the prisoners of war captured by the Eighth Route Army to promote the war of resistance. It really remains to be tested how others will think of them!

Seizing the fruits of other people's victory is more or less regarded as an unscrupulous thing!

He Yingqin, who visited the headquarters of the Independent Division again the next day after spending a night of entertaining dinner, also realized that today he needed to have a real negotiation with the Eighth Route Army.He really didn't know what the end result would be.

Even when he was drinking last night, He Zhengdao seemed to be able to talk.But for He Yingqin, he only saw He Zhengdao's maturity and sophistication beyond ordinary people.Unlike all he knew, the young man was only in his early twenties.

He was born as a security guard, and in just over three years, he rose to the rank of lieutenant general, commanding the most powerful independent column in the Eighth Route Army.This kind of achievement is enough to show that He Zhengdao is different.

Dealing with such young people, He Yingqin really felt a little uncertain.What surprised He Yingqin the most was that at the reception last night, He Zhengdao's understanding of the current situation and even the international situation far exceeded his knowledge of the generals of the Eighth Route Army.

At least in He Yingqin's view, He Zhengdao, a young red general, is not just a simple military general.This young man's eyes, like many others, are not only focused on the current situation.

He Zhengdao will have some unique views on some current situations at home and abroad, but it makes people feel that they need to think deeply.When dealing with such young people, He Yingqin felt that he could never be too cautious!

Considering that this meeting is also a confidential matter of both parties.The only ones who are eligible to participate in the negotiations are the other two representatives brought by He Ying.As for the Eighth Route Army, it was naturally Zhou Enlai, He Zhengdao, and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan.

As the main person in charge of this negotiation, Zhou Enlai politely invited He Yingqin and the three to sit down.The two sides sat on both sides of a long table and were ready to start negotiations on matters related to the transfer of prisoners of war.

After chatting for a while, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Minister He, you are the national general, and even the military and political minister of the national government. I think your time is also very precious. Similarly, we also have responsibilities people.

Here, there are no outsiders, and we still open up to say what we have to say.If we can talk, let's just talk a little bit.If we can't talk, then let's not waste each other's time.I am a soldier, and I am more straightforward in speaking and doing things.

I also said before that if these prisoners are handed over, it will be beneficial to our unified war of resistance, and our Eighth Route Army will fully cooperate.It's just that it's not easy for us to capture these prisoners of war. After all, you have to show some sincerity.

I think that when Minister He came to our side this time, Chairman Jiang should have given instructions.So, I would like to invite Minister He to talk about your sincerity, so that we can have a psychological preparation in advance.After all, everyone is not too leisurely! "

Facing He Zhengdao's directness again, He Yingqin also smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that Mr. He is also a straightforward person. Then I can talk about some rewards from the government for your contribution to the war of resistance this time.

Regarding the victory of the independent division and the record of recovering Suiyuan, Chairman Jiang decided to promote the meritorious soldiers.Speaking of which, I also want to congratulate Mr. He, you are about to become the youngest national general in our two armies. "

As soon as these words came out, not to mention He Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, even Zhou Enlai and Zuo Quan were also stunned.After all, among the Eighth Route Army today, there is only one person who has been awarded the national general, and that is the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu.

He Zhengdao was promoted to lieutenant general before, and some people in the Eighth Route Army felt that he was promoted too quickly.Now that He Zhengdao was suddenly promoted to general, how could this embarrass the other main teachers who were still major generals?

Zhou Enlai and Zuo Quan, who thought about this clearly, immediately reacted that the Central Army would create trouble for the Eighth Route Army.To be precise, it is still the old routine, intending to praise and kill He Zhengdao, so that he will be feared by other generals of the Eighth Route Army.

He Zhengdao, who also understood that this promotion had no good intentions, sneered in his heart but smiled and said: "Oh! It seems that I have to thank Chairman Jiang again! A 22-year-old national general, this is really an unprecedented award.

It's just such kindness, I still appreciate it.In fact, I am very grateful to Chairman Jiang for promoting me to lieutenant general or general.But I think that whether it is a lieutenant general or an admiral, in fact, they cannot be eaten as food.

If Generalissimo Jiang really has the heart, I think I should give out the lieutenant general subsidy that is owed to me for more than a year. I am afraid that I will be more grateful.After all, our Eighth Route Army is poor, I believe Minister He knows it too.

As for the reward for being promoted to admiral, I think it is still exempt.Give something practical and maybe I'll appreciate it more.As the saying goes, people are poor and short-sighted, and I already feel very honored to be a lieutenant general.It's better to be exempted from being promoted to general! "

As a result, when He Zhengdao's voice fell, a representative of the Central Army said coldly: "Mr. He, please pay attention to your words. The promotion of the chairman is an affirmation of your achievements. How can you let you bargain."

'oh!This means that I have to accept the promotion you gave me. Is that what you mean?Well, since your chairman has such good intentions, why don't you let him make up the salary owed to us first?

As the old saying goes, isn't the emperor short of hungry soldiers?Just use a promotion order, and a military rank is affirmation.Such affirmation, for Generalissimo Jiang, is a bit too cheap, right?What is the effect of such a promotion?

Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the current commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu. He is also the general that your Chairman Jiang personally awarded to the national general, right?But except for the first month when he received the military salary belonging to Shang Jiang, why is there nothing after that?

Even now the wife of our commander-in-chief has to work in Yan'an to grow vegetables and fields to support the family.Let me ask, is there such a cheap national general in your central army?Does such an admiral make sense?

What's more, I'm just the commander of a main division, and I can actually have the same rank as the commander-in-chief of my army.Minister He, it seems that Chairman Jiang's sincerity really makes me feel a little overwhelmed! '

'what do you mean?Do you want to openly defy the orders of Generalissimo Chiang? '

It was another question from the previous representative, but He Zhengdao, who had been sneering before, suddenly said with a calm expression: "If I remember correctly, you should be the remaining staff officer of the Military and Political Department? To be more clear, you should be a major general staff?
