Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

After thinking about it, Lao Xier made a difficult decision: accept the peaceful reorganization and give up the command of his troops.

All he asked was not to disband the troops he brought over and not to kill his people because they had done bad things.

Of course we welcomed him and first made him Minister of Education and Minister of Health.

Lao Xier is also good at Go. Taking advantage of the fact that the Minister of Health came to inspect, he played several games with Dr. Shui, and both parties enjoyed themselves very much.

The work of transforming the army under Lao Xi'er is much more difficult than relocating Lao Xi'er.

Historically, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the uprising generals and soldiers, we initially promised the uprising troops to retain their organizational structure and armed forces, and that their officers would retain their powers, etc., in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the rebel generals and soldiers. Only the unit number was changed and the name was changed, and the officers also led their own soldiers.

Although the officer was relieved, the soldiers could not be said to be at ease. They were just following the officer. However, some troops have retained all their original unhealthy tendencies and cannot be transformed into our troops at all.

These armies have only been transformed in name, but not ideologically. They will still oppress the people and tarnish the reputation of our army.

Not only can they not help us fight the war right away, but they must also draw out troops to watch them and prevent them from causing trouble.

And they are very active when asking for supplies and supplies. Just give them. Many of our own troops still cannot get supplies. They have nothing to do and their combat effectiveness is very weak. They can still get a large amount of supplies, which makes our veteran troops feel There is fairness; if you don't give it, the rebels will say you are unfair.

Soon, our army discovered this problem. It was not an option to continue like this. It didn't matter whether the other party revolted or not.

After that, the method was adopted to dispatch political cadres to each insurgent army and organize the insurgent army to conduct ideological and political study and discussion.

This is called the "water with saccharin method."

Is this method effective? Of course, there is some effect, but most of the effects are insignificant. It is a great test of the level of political cadres we send.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, their ordinary soldiers only know how to listen to their officers unconditionally and are quite indifferent to ideological and political aspects. The officials said they should revolt, and they followed suit; the day the officials said let's rebel again, the soldiers rebelled again.

These ordinary soldiers were accustomed to the status of submissive slaves and did not understand what the instructors were saying.

Let everyone discuss without anyone speaking.

Some soldiers also asked: "I have heard of begging for food, beatings, and rewards. What does this discussion mean?"

When we study, if we memorize sentences, the effect will not be good.

When I was in school, the teacher taught physics. At that time, there was a shortage of teachers, and one teacher had to teach several subjects at the same time. The teacher’s approach was: “Come on, come on, everyone, draw a line under the second paragraph and the third sentence on page 34 and memorize it.” No wonder he was teaching history at the time. This is also how it is taught.

As a result, many students in the class failed physics, and in fact, most of the history students were not very good either. Only a few people got close to perfect scores. These people never listened to his lectures. They read books and found questions by themselves.

The effects of this education method of rote memorization and forced indoctrination can be imagined!

It even happened that some troops were educated and transformed for several months, and then the officers led them to defect to Jiang Wufa, and even trapped and killed a group of our cadres.

Later, these people fought with our army again, but failed to defeat them and surrendered again. This time our army did not condone him anymore and shot the top officer of this army to death.

Two methods are often used to achieve good transformation results: the first is to incorporate the majority of our original troops into a unit and a small part of the units that have come back from the uprising; the second is to completely disperse the uprising units and Mixed with our army.

But then, with the help of Jiang Wufa, various rumors such as "soldiers rather than officers", "guns rather than troops", "annexation of dissidents", etc. came out.

Later, someone thought deeply about how to transform these rebel armies and did a survey first.

It was found that very few of these people were hostile to Jiang Wufa or Jiang Wufa's organization; they felt that Jiang Wufa's dark rule was not good, but they thought that their fate should be like this, which was minimal.

However, it was extremely rare to have no hostility towards the township security chiefs and bully landlords. Almost all of them hated the township security chiefs and landlord bullies; in addition, almost all of them had been severely beaten by military officers.

Based on the results of this survey, I would like to try to reverse the situation: first let the soldiers talk about how they were exploited and oppressed by the township security chiefs, Jia chiefs and bully landlords. These soldiers have personal experience and can speak about it.

Then our teacher analyzed whose interests Jiang Wufa was protecting.

Only then did the soldier understand: It turned out that Jiang Wufa was protecting the interests of the people who oppressed him.

So if I follow Jiang Wufa, I will be an accomplice in bullying other poor people.

Our troops are different. Our troops represent the proletariat and farmers. The ongoing land reform shows the difference between us and Jiang Wufa.

This will make sense.

This is our military’s unique weapon: the grievance campaign.

First, let the soldiers realize why they are suffering, let the soldiers understand that they are not born to suffer, and then analyze whose interests Jiang Wufa's army is protecting. And whose interests does our army represent?

Then we have to let the soldiers reflect on themselves and expose each other. Your mind has been polluted and poisoned for such a long time. It is impossible that you have not made any mistakes.

You need to write down the mistakes you made in the past. If you can't write, just dictate. Someone will write it for you. But you must write it comprehensively, even if you secretly take a piece of ordinary people's nest one day, you still have to write it!

Then write down where you went wrong and what you should do next.

If you reflect deeply and thoroughly, let it go; if you don't reflect deeply, someone will help you reflect on it, and it is ideological reflection, not corporal punishment.

Later, a new problem arose with this method, that is, the soldiers realized that they had been bullied by the officers, hated the officers extremely, and wanted revenge. If you complain to the point of grief, you have to fight the officer to the death.

Later, officers and soldiers were separated and studied separately. If the soldiers had opinions about the officers, they would write down their opinions and tell them to the officers. The officer reflected. This way the problem was avoided.

Various forms of grievance campaigns are successful experiences explored by our army.

Now our army no longer has to take this detour. Because there is a great god Chu Yunfei.

This man had a high consciousness. Soon after he switched to our army, he was introduced and became an active member of our organization.

He was quickly accepted into our organization and became a formal member.

Many people in his regiment left Jiang Wufa's organization and joined our organization. They welcome political commissars and instructors dispatched by superiors.

Chu Yunfei proposed the theory and methods of the grievance campaign to the senior leaders of our army. It is said that some of his troops also have old military habits.

After the grievance campaign, some soldiers cried to death and actively reflected on themselves. I quickly became an activist who identified with my organization.

Those who have oppressed the people before complaining are afraid that the people will recognize them after complaining. Later it was discovered that the common people changed from fearing and hating them to loving them. Then he straightened his back.

Our army used the method Chu Yunfei mentioned to transform Lao Xi'er's troops, and the effect was incredible! Soon many people were transformed into our soldiers and took on local garrison tasks.

This allows the Independent Brigade and the 386th Brigade to deploy more troops for this counter-encirclement and suppression operation.
