Chapter 668 Zuo Quan and Su Yu

Although the entire Politburo meeting was full of gunpowder from beginning to end. However, given the absolute advantage, Wang Ming's opposition did not cause much turmoil in the entire Politburo meeting. During the voting stage, Chairman

The motion was successfully passed at the meeting with the approval of the majority of votes.

"En Lai, the meeting is almost over now. Come and read to everyone the specific decisions we made at this Politburo meeting..." As the voting stage passed smoothly, under the glare of Wang Ming and others opposite him,

, the chairman said to Vice Chairman Zhou next to him with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Chairman..." As he spoke, Vice Chairman Zhou stood up from his seat, and then spoke to the Politburo members in front of him.

"Comrades, after discussion by all members of the Political Bureau, the Party Central Committee passed a resolution to expand the Northeast Field Army. After discussion, the entire Northeast Field Army will be expanded to a force of 450,000 in the next stage. The Central Military Commission will

It is under direct control and has a field army of the same size as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army."

"After the expansion, the entire Northeast Field Army will have six combat corps, each combat corps will have three corps, each army will have three combat divisions, and so on. At the same time, the entire field army will also include direct guard divisions, etc.

The total number of troops is 30,000. After voting, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army will continue to be Comrade Liu Hua, a member of the Central Committee and an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. The first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army will be Comrade Luo Ronghuan, a member of the Central Committee, and the director of the Political Department of the Northeast Field Army will be Peng Peng, a member of the Central Committee.

Comrade Zhen will serve as the first deputy commander of the Northeast Field Army. Comrade Yang Jingyu, a member of the Central Committee, will serve as the chief of staff. As for the candidate for the chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, due to Comrade Li Qing's lack of experience, especially the experience of commanding a large corps, he has not been selected for the time being.

Serve as deputy chief of staff of the field army. As for the candidate of the chief of staff of the field army, it will be determined after receiving the suggestions from Comrade Liu Hua and the field army headquarters."

"The appointment of commanders of various corps subordinate to the Field Army will be re-determined based on the recommendations of the Field Army Headquarters. At that time, the candidates for the commanders of each corps will be directly discussed and determined by the five secretaries of the Central Military Commission and will no longer go through political discussions.

Discussion at the bureau meeting…”

"In addition, after the chairman's proposal, the Politburo meeting discussed and approved the reorganization of the Northeast Bureau in the three northeastern provinces, and appointed Comrade Liu Hua as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau. Luo Ronghuan, Peng Zhen, and Yang Jingyu were appointed as the Northeast Bureau respectively.

First, second and third deputy secretaries. As for the members of the Northeast Bureau at all levels, the final determination will be made after the personnel appointments of commanders at all levels of the Northeast Field Army are formally determined."

As soon as Vice Chairman Zhou finished speaking, a burst of warm applause erupted in the entire conference room. Although Wang Ming and others sitting directly opposite were very dissatisfied with this resolution, the Chairman and others had an absolute advantage in the meeting.

In front of them, they had to lower their heads and surrender to the chairman and others. Together with everyone, they began to follow the trend of applause and applaud together.

In the huge Fengtian City, with the efforts of tens of thousands of commanders and fighters of the third column, after more than a week of recovery, it has slowly returned to its previous prosperity from the post-war depression. At this moment, Commander Liu Hua was standing in the

In the office on the third floor of the headquarters, I stood in front of the huge window and admired the busy streets with endless flow at the entrance of the headquarters.

At this moment, Liu Hua had no idea that, because of him, the Party Central Committee far away in Taiyuan had just experienced a fiery Politburo meeting. And now, after this meeting, he had become the leader of the Communist Party of China.

The commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of troops has become the commander-in-chief among all the generals of the CCP, second only to Mr. Zhu and on par with Mr. Peng.

"Bang bang bang..." A rapid knock on the door interrupted Liu Hua, who was staring at the street not far away.

As the door opened, political commissar Luo Ronghuan appeared in front of Liu Hua with a smile on his face. His eyes were like looking at a monster, staring motionlessly at Liu Hua in front of him, smiling and saying nothing.

Looking at the mysterious political commissar Luo Ronghuan in front of him, Liu Hua came to his senses and asked with a confused look: "Political commissar, what happened? Looking at your mysterious face, is there anything good going on? Hurry up.

Tell us all…”

"The Commander-in-Chief is the Commander-in-Chief, you will know it at a glance. Commander, from now on, I will change the name you use. Commander-in-Chief Liu, you have been promoted again. This is the telegram just sent by the Central Military Commission, appointing

You are the supreme commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army. At the same time, the Central Military Commission decided to establish a new Northeast Bureau in the three northeastern provinces and appointed you as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau to oversee all military and political affairs in the three northeastern provinces..." the political commissar said with a smile on his face.

"The Northeast Bureau was established, and I served as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau..." Liu Hua asked with a shocked look on his face.

Because Liu Hua knew very well what being the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau meant to him.

You must know that at this moment, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China only has three units under it: the Southern Bureau, the North China Bureau, and the Northeast Bureau. And the first secretaries of the three bureaus are, without exception, either members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee or members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. And he himself

As an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, he serves as the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau, which means that his status within the party is no less than that of a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee...

At this time, Liu Hua did not dare to think about it anymore. However, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to the political commissar Luo Ronghuan who was also smiling in front of him: "Political commissar, Central Committee

There must be a new appointment for you, right?"

"The Central Committee has just nominated me as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the next National People's Congress. At the same time, I have been appointed as the first political commissar of the Northeast Field Army and the first deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau..."

"Okay, both of us have been promoted. Political Commissar, tell me quickly, do you have any other orders from the Central Military Commission? Where are Deputy Commander Yang, Chief of Staff and others?"

"Well, the Central Military Commission has decided to appoint Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu as the First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Field Army and the Third Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau. Appoint Comrade Peng Zhen as the Director of the Political Department of the Northeast Field Army and the Second Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau. Appoint Li Qing

Comrade Comrade serves as the deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army and serves as a member of the Northeast Bureau. Comrade, the Central Military Commission has decided to expand the entire Northeast Field Army. After the expansion, the Northeast Field Army will become a group army with a total strength of 450,000 people.

"However, the Central Military Commission decided that the Chief of General Staff of the Northeast Field Army and the commanders of various corps require our Field Army Headquarters to make its own decision before reporting it to the Central Military Commission, which will make the final decision." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan answered affirmatively.

"Lao Li has developed from a division-level chief of staff during the Red Army to the current chief of staff of the group army in less than a few decades. Based on Lao Li's current command and combat experience, the central government can appoint him as deputy chief of staff of the group army.

Very good. As for the candidate for the Chief of General Staff, I have two candidates." As he spoke, Liu Hua's eyes showed a hint of sharpness. He said with a smile to the political commissar in front of him.

"Mr. Liu, who are these two people?" Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked anxiously.

"One is General Zuo Quan, the current deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and the other is Comrade Su Yu, the current candidate for the division commander of a certain division of the New Fourth Army." Regarding Luo Ronghuan's rhetorical question, Liu Hua answered decisively without any hesitation.

"Mr. Zuo and Mr. Su Yu? I am very familiar with Mr. Zuo, but I am worried that our Mr. Peng will not let them go. As for Mr. Su Yu, I also have a certain understanding. As far as I know, he is a person just like you.

, is almost the only general in the New Fourth Army who is invincible. I am worried that Commander Ye and Boss Peng will not let him go even under the sun." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with emotion.

"Haha, don't worry. Since Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee has said this time, what our Northeast Field Army wants, the Central Committee will try its best to supplement it for us? Besides, the two of us were brought out by Boss Peng for the development of the Northeast Field Army.

, Boss Peng will definitely support our decision." Liu Hua said very confidently.

"Okay, Commander-in-Chief, since you are so confident, then the candidates for Chief of General Staff are two of them. Now we will discuss the candidates for each corps. According to the order of the Central Military Commission, after the expansion of our Northeast Field Army, it will be under the jurisdiction of six

There are 70,000 combat corps under each combat corps. We must confirm the selection of commanders of the six combat corps earlier." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded in agreement and said.

"The six combat corps must be expanded from five main columns and one new column. As for the candidates for the commanders of the five combat corps, except Wang Zhen, commander of the fourth column, who is qualified to be the commander of the corps. The remaining four people,

I think with their ability, they can command an army with a strength of 20,000 people. However, they have no experience at all in commanding a large corps to fight." After a brief reflection, Liu Hua said.

"Even so. However, as the army establishment expands, their subordinates will also become commanders of divisions and armies accordingly. If their positions do not change accordingly, I am afraid of what the commanders will think.

"Political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a worried look on his face.

"Besides, without the combat command of a large corps, experience can be cultivated slowly. For example, in this Mengshan victory, the plateau commander will only be good. You know, our party has grown since childhood, and almost everyone is

After the test of blood and fire, we slowly got over it. I think at the beginning, when they served as commanders of the three columns, the two of us were quite worried. However, they came over smoothly and commanded the troops to stand up.

It can be said that it is done with ease. My opinion is that the personnel of the five combat corps commanders remain unchanged."

"Political Commissar, you have always been very accurate in judging people. Since you think it is OK, then we will decide on the selection of commanders of the five combat corps, and they will be promoted directly to the five of them. Next, we will discuss the specifics

Let’s discuss the candidate for the commander of the Sixth Corps. According to my idea, the Sixth Corps will serve as a test corps, trying to pool the existing resources of the entire field army to form our party’s first mechanized corps.” Seeing the face in front of him.

The doubtful expression on Liu Hua's face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a determined look on his face as he continued to ask the political commissar in front of him.

"I have a suggestion..." Regarding Liu Hua's suggestion, political commissar Luo Ronghuan's eyes lit up and he replied.

"There are exactly two candidates for the Field Army Chief of Staff. At that time, the remaining one will directly serve as the commander of the Sixth Corps of the Field Army, that is, the commander of the mechanized corps. What do you think?"

"Okay, in that case, let's call back the Central Military Commission based on the results we just discussed. I believe that the Central Military Commission will give us a satisfactory answer. Of course, there will be another sentence added to the message to the Central Committee, because the military

To expand, the army is in urgent need of a large number of commanders. Please ask the central government to send us a large number of division-level, regiment-level, battalion-level, company-level commanders and political cadres as much as possible. Of course, local cadres are also our Northeast Field Army and are urgently needed by our Northeast Bureau.

"..." Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

"Okay, I'm going to send a telegram to the Central Military Commission..." As he spoke, political commissar Luo Ronghuan rushed out of the office and ran to the group army's telecommunications room not far away.

In the war room of the Central Military Commission in Taiyuan, looking at the telegram just sent by the Northeast Field Army in their hands, the five secretaries of the Central Secretariat couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because, the telegram in front of them was like a debt collection document, asking them a few questions.

Personal debt collection.

"Enlai, boss, Bi Shi, Shaoqi. It seems that our Comrade Liu Hua really regards us as enemies. Comrade Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, has just received a telegram from Comrade Ye Ting and is about to be promoted to chief of staff of the New Fourth Army.

Comrade Su Yu, both of them are the darlings of Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye. I'm worried that they won't let anyone go..." The chairman looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a wry smile.

"I think this problem is difficult to handle. Both of them are the backbone of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. If we rashly ask them to come over, the two bosses will definitely feel uncomfortable. I think this matter is difficult to handle. As for what follows.

Things will be much easier. Our Red Army University has just graduated a batch of regiment-level, battalion-level, and company-level commanders and political cadres. When the time comes, all of them will be sent to the Northeast Field Army..." The commander-in-chief nodded with great agreement.

He nodded and spoke.

"I agree with the Chairman and the CEO. However, I don't think the first suggestion put forward by Comrade Liu Hua is a big deal. I think at the beginning, our Comrade Liu Hua, General Manager Peng of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army had

We have received tremendous help, especially from the New Fourth Army. If Comrade Liu Hua had not sent out the special operations brigade to rescue the main cadres of the New Fourth Army from the hands of the Kuomintang, our New Fourth Army might have..." Liu Shaoqi said.

"I agree with Comrade Shaoqi. Both Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye are old party members. Even if Liu Hua had not helped these two people, they would have released them. After all, the Northeast Field Army has just been established and is inferior to the other two in many aspects.

A group army. According to my understanding of the two bosses, the two bosses will definitely agree to Comrade Liu Hua’s proposal..." Comrade Ren Bishi said.

Seeing that the opinions of several people had reached unity, Vice Chairman Zhou, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Chairman, I agree with the suggestions of Bi Shi and Shaoqi. Both comrades are old comrades. Regarding this issue, they will definitely

I understand very much and will definitely support the central government’s decision.”

"Okay, in that case. Enlai, please immediately send a telegram to each of the two CEOs. Forward the original text of Comrade Liu Hua's telegram to the two CEOs and wait for their responses." The chairman nodded decisively and said

Looking at the few people in front of him, he ordered firmly.

"Yes, Chairman, I will send a telegram right away..." Vice Chairman Zhou replied decisively without any hesitation.

The day passed in the blink of an eye. The telegrams sent to the two bosses finally received a reply while the chairman and others were waiting anxiously. Looking at the telegrams they had just received in their hands, several people's faces showed a look of confusion.

A heart-warming smile. Because the two bosses had almost reached an agreement, the call back only contained a few words.

"Resolutely obey the orders of the Party Central Committee and support the development of the Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time..."

"Chairman, I just said that the two CEOs are the elders of our party. Their consciousness is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Look, don't the two CEOs agree?" After reading the telegram in his hand,

, Ren Bishi, who is in charge of party and government work, said with a smile on his face.

"Well, the two bosses are worthy of being old party members and senior generals of our party. They know what it means to leave the small family and take care of everyone. Well, since the two bosses have agreed, then we have decided like this. Appoint Zuo Quan

Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Su Yu was appointed as the Commander of the Mechanized Corps of the Northeast Field Army. At the same time, Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Northeast Bureau to assist Comrade Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan and be in charge of various affairs in the three northeastern provinces..."

"Yes, Chairman..." Liu Shaoqi, who was in charge of personnel appointments, replied decisively.

"In addition, send telegrams to Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye respectively, asking them to immediately send Comrades Zuo Quan and Su Yu to the Central Committee to accept their appointment. Then ask Comrade Liu Hua to come and pick them up in person. After all, there are hundreds of people.

We must pay attention to the cadres at all levels." The chairman continued to order.

"Yes, Chairman, I will send a telegram to the three bosses right away..." Vice Chairman Zhou replied decisively.
