Chapter 667: Extraordinary Promotion

In the 'Great Victory of Fengtian', hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army, under the personal command of Commander Liu Hua, not only achieved great results in annihilating hundreds of thousands of the elite Kwantung Army, but more importantly, the Northeast

The field army successfully captured Fengtian City, the capital of Liaoning Province. Most of the entire Liaoning Province was trampled underfoot by the field army, which was like tigers, wolves and lions, and was controlled by the entire Northeast Field Army.

This shocking news just came out from the Taiyuan Party Central Station and immediately caused a huge sensation. Almost the entire Taiyuan City was excited and excited because of this exciting news. Almost everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Everyone smiled because of this great victory.

And just when everyone had not yet reacted to the shock of the victory, several leaders of the Party Central Committee were still immersed in the great joy of the victory in Fengtian. Another piece of good news came to everyone's ears shortly after.

Thanks to the efforts of the special operations division directly under the Northeast Field Army, the Fengtian Arsenal, the largest arms production base in the country, was successfully occupied by the Field Army. All the machinery and equipment in the entire arsenal, including tens of thousands of skilled workers, were taken over intact by the Field Army.

For a long time, the entire Eighth Route Army has been constrained by others and cannot develop fully because it does not have a complete military industry and no source of weapons and ammunition. But at this moment, the millions of Eighth Route Army troops he leads will never again

Because it does not have a complete military industry, it is subject to others. Because the Communist Party now has the largest and most well-equipped military production base in China.

The good news of the great victory at Fengtian made several senior leaders of the central government feel shocked for the first time that it was possible to counterattack the entire three northeastern provinces by relying on their own strength. The successful occupation of Fengtian Arsenal made

Everyone is more confident in the future of the entire Eighth Route Army...

It can be said that these two pieces of exciting good news have already made several leaders feel very satisfied and inspiring. However, Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, is destined to be a blessed general of the CCP. At the same time, he is also destined to

He is not a general who can calm down.

In less than a week, another piece of exciting good news was immediately transmitted to the headquarters of the Party Central Committee via radio waves.

After reading the entire telegram, Ye Jianying, Chief of General Staff of the Central Military Commission, who had just received the telegram, was once again stunned by the contents of the telegram. Ignoring the surprised looks of commanders and fighters at all levels around him, he quickly rushed out with the telegram in his hand.

He walked into the telecommunications room, then trotted towards the Central Military Commission War Room.

"A great victory in Shanhaiguan..." "A great victory in Shanhaiguan... Chairman, a great victory in Shanhaiguan!"

Before they rushed into the Central Military Commission's war room, the excited voice of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying was heard in the huge war room. The chairman and the commander-in-chief, who were studying the military situation in the war room, raised their heads almost at the same time and said

He cast his doubtful eyes towards the door of the war room, waiting for the arrival of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying.

"Reporting the victory telegram just sent by Comrade Liu Hua, the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, and Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Field Army outside the Passage: The second and third main columns of the Field Army, the direct guard division of the Field Army plus the special forces column totaled 50,000 troops.

Under the command of Comrade Gao Yuan, the commander of the column, after a week, two hours ago, two main divisions of the Japanese army were successfully annihilated in the Xiaopanshan area. At present, our 50,000-strong army is pursuing victory and is following behind the defeated Japanese army.

, strive to break through Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, occupy the entire Shanhaiguan, and open up communication channels between outside and inside the customs." Seeing the confused looks of the two people, Chief of Staff Ye Jianying reported quickly.

"Old Mao, it seems that our Comrade Liu Hua is not going to let us old guys have a good rest. In less than a week, there has been such a big commotion again. There are exactly 50,000 troops.

, it only took less than a week to completely annihilate two Japanese divisions." After the brief shock, the commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face.

"Boss, I have long been accustomed to Comrade Liu Hua's style. However, if I could hear such good news every day, I would be shocked every day, but I would be willing to do so." As he spoke, the chairman's eyes were once again in front of him.

On top of the huge operational map of the three eastern provinces, he pointed at the map in front of him and said.

"Boss, you see, after the Northeast Field Army occupied Shanhaiguan, the sphere of influence of our Northeast Field Army has changed from a Mengshan County town at the beginning to now, with Fengtian City, the capital of Liaoning Province as the center, starting from Mengshan Mountain in the north and ending in the south.

Shanhaiguan borders the Anshan area to the east and Tieling to the west. There are more than fifty county towns, large and small, with a radius of several thousand kilometers, covering almost the entire Liaoning Province, a huge base area."

Under the quick sketch of the pencil in the chairman's hand, the area just occupied by the Northeast Field Army was clearly displayed in front of everyone. Looking at the map in front of them, the geographical scope has exceeded the huge base area of ​​​​the entire Shanxi Province. When thinking of Liaoning Province's role in the Japanese army

After decades of operation, it has exceeded the economic capacity of Shanxi Province several times. The commander-in-chief's eyes were almost dumbfounded.

After a few minutes of silence in the entire war room, it was the chairman who first broke the peaceful atmosphere in the war room.

"Boss, as long as our Northeast Field Army can completely occupy these areas, I am sure that this area will make an unexpected contribution to the development of our party and the entire Eighth Route Army. According to the current development momentum of the Northeast Field Army, we

I believe that in the near future, the Northeast Field Army will be able to support half of our party's sky. At the same time, the time to counterattack the entire three northeastern provinces is no longer far away from us..."

"Chairman, what do you mean..." Regarding the chairman's words, the boss frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's very simple. Having such a large base area in our hands will definitely play a huge role in promoting the development of our people's army. Especially after decades of development by the Japanese army, it has become the largest arsenal in Fengtian in China.

It will definitely play a huge role in promoting the development of our military's weapons, equipment and modernization."

Seeing the commander-in-chief in front of him, staring at the military map in front of him, he slowly fell into deep thought. The chairman continued to speak.

"Such an important area is surrounded by nearly one million Japanese Kwantung troops. Can the Japanese army watch such an area with huge potential truly in our hands? The Northeast Field Army alone

, faced with such a large base area, can we really achieve sufficient offensive and defensive capabilities to protect the safety of the entire base area?"

Facing the chairman's repeated rhetorical questions, the commander-in-chief, standing in front of the map with a pensive look on his face, immediately understood what the chairman meant. Then, he spoke.

"Chairman, what you mean is to expand the entire Northeast Field Army and increase the strength of the Northeast Field Army..."

After receiving the chairman's affirmation, the commander-in-chief frowned again. Looking at the map in front of him, after a brief reflection, he spoke.

"From a military point of view, there is no problem with the expansion. As the commander-in-chief, I firmly agree. After all, with the strength of hundreds of thousands of Northeast Field Army, while defending the entire Liaoning Province, we also have to fight with the Kanto

It is almost impossible to engage in a head-on confrontation with an army of nearly one million people. However, Comrade Liu Hua is now the commander-in-chief of an army of hundreds of thousands. At the same level as the other three division commanders of the Eighth Route Army in our party,

Level. If the Northeast Field Army is expanded again, wouldn’t it have already caught up with our Boss Peng in terms of level..."

In response to the commander-in-chief's rhetorical question, the chairman nodded noncommittally. However, he thought about the impact that the expansion of the Northeast Field Army would have on the situation in the entire Northeast, and even on the entire Anti-Japanese War situation, and on the development of the entire CCP.

The trace of hesitation that had just appeared on the Chairman's face due to the Commander-in-Chief's rhetorical question immediately disappeared and was replaced by a look of determination. Facing the frowning Commander-in-Chief beside him, there was no hesitation at all.

He spoke decisively.

"Boss, when we proposed to elect Comrade Liu Hua as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the last Politburo meeting, there was already a leapfrog promotion. At that time, many veteran comrades in the party raised objections

, some people even wrote to me directly, believing that Comrade Liu Hua is not qualified enough, and demanding that Comrade Liu Hua be disqualified as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and replaced by senior comrades with qualifications."

As he spoke, the chairman's face showed a trace of ridicule, and he said helplessly to the commander-in-chief in front of him: "As for this matter, many comrades in our party believe in Marxism.

However, deep down in my heart, I still believe in the Kuomintang’s principle that no matter what you do, you must pay attention to personal qualifications. Is this still the principle of doing things for us Communists? What is the difference between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang..."

The more he talked about this matter, the more serious the chairman's words became. After a few words, the sarcastic look on his face turned into a trace of anger. However, after the brief anger, the chairman still said the first thing

After taking the time to adjust his emotions, he continued to speak to the commander-in-chief beside him.

"At the beginning, everyone said that Comrade Liu Hua was not qualified enough to serve as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and was not capable of serving as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army. But what was the final result? In less than a year, the Northeast Field Army

Under the command of Comrade Liu Hua, hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army troops were wiped out. More importantly, Liaoning Province, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, was liberated from the hands of the Japs. He also liberated the entire China from the hands of the Japs.

, the largest arsenal was snatched away. This allowed our party to have its own armaments industry for the first time and be able to be self-sufficient in all kinds of weapons and equipment..."

"Besides Comrade Liu Hua, who else can tell me that he also has the ability to command hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Field Army and achieve such a huge achievement in the cracks of nearly one million Kwantung Army?"

I assured him that I would also nominate him as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee."

Seeing the thoughtful look on the face of the Commander-in-Chief in front of him, the Chairman continued: "Since the last Politburo meeting nominated him as an alternate member of the Politburo, and we were able to make an exceptional promotion, why can't we do it again?

She made an exceptional promotion. At the same time, through this promotion, it also created a good atmosphere within the party: Our Communist Party of China does not rely on qualifications for promotion, but on ability. As long as you have enough ability, you can get it.

With the trust of superiors, promotion can be achieved..."

"Chairman, I understand what you mean. But I am worried that at the Politburo meeting, some comrades will come out to object. If that happens, Chairman, your prestige within the party will be..." the commander-in-chief asked with a puzzled look.

.

The Commander-in-Chief's words had just finished, and the two people fell into deep thought again. Because the Chairman knew very well who the certain comrades the Commander-in-Chief mentioned were referring to. There is no doubt that this person just returned from Moscow a few years ago.

Wang Ming is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee.

Although, at this moment, Wang Ming has been down from the position of General Secretary of the Party for a long time. However, after all, he is a person who has served as General Secretary of the Party, and he still has a very huge influence in the Party. More importantly,

Unfortunately, since Wang Ming returned to China, he has repeatedly made things difficult for the chairman, who is now the general secretary. The chairman's many proposals at the Politburo meeting were not passed.

If this proposal to expand the Northeast Field Army cannot be passed, it will not only have a huge blow to the chairman's prestige. More importantly, it will also enhance Wang Ming's prestige within the party. Faced with the decline of one and the other,

It was impossible for Wang Ming, who had always had great ambitions and had illusions about the position of general secretary, not to seize such a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile to the chairman who was still looking thoughtful in front of him: "Chairman, I think this matter should be slowed down until the next congress.

If it is convened successfully and your position within the party is more stable, it will not be too late to make proposals. After all, the next congress will be held soon."

"No, time is not waiting for me. The Northeast Field Army has just occupied Fengtian City, and its rule over the entire Fengtian has not been stable yet. I believe that the Kwantung Army will not leave them too much time. If preparations cannot be made earlier, by then,

Do we really need hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Field Army to face the fierce counterattack of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops? Let the Liaoning Province that the troops worked so hard to occupy be handed back to the little devils." The chairman shook his head decisively and said.

Then, he said firmly to the shocked commander-in-chief in front of him.

"Boss, don't forget that our party has always adhered to the principle that the minority obeys the majority. Among the entire Politburo members, except for a few people standing behind Wang Ming, the rest are you, Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Wang Jiaxiang, Chen Yun, Ren Bishi,

Zhang Wentian and others will definitely be on our side. When it comes to voting, we are absolutely sure of winning."

"Chairman, the two of us have been old partners since Jinggangshan. Now that you have made a decision, I, Zhu De, will absolutely support you unconditionally." Seeing the chairman and commander-in-chief who had a determined look on his face in front of him,

He nodded affirmatively and said.

"Okay, I believe that there is no problem in this world that Zhu Mao cannot solve."

"According to the last proposal, a temporary Politburo meeting will be held in the central conference room at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. There are still more than ten hours before the meeting. I suggest that the two of us take action separately.

I will find Enlai, Wang Jiaxiang, Ren Bishi and others to discuss this bill. Then, I will write a bill and discuss it at the Politburo meeting tomorrow..." With the support of his old partner, the chairman no longer has any doubts.

He hesitated. He said firmly to the commander-in-chief beside him.

"I agree. I will first look for Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, and then I will look for Comrade Liu Shaoqi..." As he spoke, the anxious commander-in-chief walked out of the war room quickly.

Early the next morning, because an extraordinary meeting of the Politburo was about to be held, the entire station was extremely quiet. Even the number of patrols and sentries responsible for security work was several times more than usual. All of this was insignificant.

An exception shows the seriousness and importance of this meeting.

Compared with the seriousness of the central station, the Politburo meeting was also full of gunpowder. Because before the meeting, the news about the expansion of the Northeast Field Army had been spread. At the same time, the chairman who supported the motion, General Secretary

The fact that the two commanders kept in contact with members of the Politburo more than ten hours before the meeting was also spread.

As soon as the meeting was held, most of the Politburo members headed by the Chairman and some members of the Politburo headed by Wang Ming began to glare at each other. The entire meeting was filled with the smell of gunpowder before it officially started. It can be seen that this Politburo meeting

, it will be a tit-for-tat, very intense meeting.

"Comrades, I will not tell you the specific content of this extraordinary meeting of the Politburo, but everyone knows it: the Northeast Field Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Hua, achieved three battles and three victories, and achieved a very huge victory.

The results of the battle. Now I would like to ask our commander-in-chief to personally inform everyone of the huge results achieved by the Northeast Field Army in three battles and three victories." As all the participants arrived, the chairman first stood up from his seat and faced

The dozen or so Politburo members in front of them spoke.

Amid a burst of warm applause, the commander-in-chief took out a statistics table of battle results and stood up from his seat.
