"Comrade Zhao Lu, Comrade Guo Tianmin, the next major task for the Chahar-Suiyuan and Yanbei Military Regions is to eliminate the Japanese and puppet army strongholds around Datong, capture the surrounding counties and towns, and gradually encircle Datong."

"Yes."

Chapter 560: Conflict of Interests

"Comrade Yang Quanwu, Comrade Huang Yong, Comrade Wang Zhi, your mission for the Hebei-Central Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong Military Region is very clear. That is, within one year, you must capture all of Hebei's small and medium-sized cities, with the exception of the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Military Region's Hebei-Eastern Base and the Hebei-Southern Base of the Hebei-Southern Military Region. Drive the Japanese army into the four cities of Peking, Tianjin, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang."

The bases of the current Hebei-Central Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong Military Region are basically in Hebei, with only a small number of bases in Shanxi.

So their mission is in Hebei.

Now, with the exception of eastern Hebei and southern Hebei, 90 percent of the towns and villages in the base areas of the Hebei Central Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong Military Region were under the control of the Eighth Route Army. However, some county towns were still under the control of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau held a meeting to discuss the issue and concluded that the current Hebei-Central Military Region and Hebei-Shandong Military Region had sufficient strength to capture the county towns in Hebei.

As long as the Japanese army is trapped in the four major cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding and Shijiazhuang, the only thing left is how to capture these major cities.

"Are you having any difficulties?"

"Commander, from a military perspective, there's no problem taking all the counties in Hebei right now. As long as we're determined, this mission can be accomplished. The only problem is how to dispatch the cadres after we take all the counties in Hebei. Should we, the Hebei Border Region, be responsible, or should the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau send the cadres?"

Marshal Nie frowned.

He looked at Yang Quanwu angrily.

The Rectification Movement had just ended, and Yang Quanwu was the main target of criticism from the Jin-Cha-Ji region. Although Yang Quanwu did not go to Yan'an, many people still criticized him at the Rectification Movement meeting in the Jin-Cha-Ji region.

And it's intense.

In the Jin-Cha-Ji region, Deng Guo, commander of the Ji-Re-Liaoning Military Region, Huang Yong, commander of the Ji-Lu Military Region, and even Guo Tianmin, commander of the Yanbei Military Region, all had bad relations with Yang Quanwu. Yang Quanwu was indeed not good at uniting the people.

So there is a lot of criticism.

He has been well behaved for a few months, but now he is so ignorant again.

This kind of question could be discussed privately with Marshal Nie. Yang Quanwu was already an alternate member of the Central Committee, a member of the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau, and the Deputy Commander of the Jin-Cha-Yi Military Region. Furthermore, he was the Secretary of the Ji-Zhong Border Region District Committee, the top leader of the Party, government, and military in the Ji-Zhong base area. He held considerable influence on cadre issues.

But to say this directly would be to challenge the authority of the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau.

Marshal Nie doesn't have to care.

Because Yang Quanwu was an old subordinate whom Marshal Nie admired very much. The two fought together in Jin-Cha-Ji for seven years. Not to mention their friendship during the Red Army period, their friendship during the Anti-Japanese War alone was incomparable to that of ordinary people.

This feeling is very deep.

Yang Quanwu usually has a strong personality, but Marshal Nie can tolerate him.

But Luo Qirong and Cheng Zhihua are different.

They have extensive experience and high rank.

Coming to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, they were very cautious and careful because they were from outside. They did not want to be a mere decoration in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, so they paid more attention to the opinions expressed by the lower-level cadres.

Yang Quanwu's attitude was like a direct challenge to their authority.

Of course, Yang Quanwu's words didn't actually affect Luo Qirong, Cheng Zhihua, and others. Because Yang Quanwu, like them, was a military representative, and his desire to appoint local cadres in his base area was truly impacting the power of the local Party.

The current Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau is a union of the military party and the local party.

The military party was headed by Marshal Nie, and included Luo Qirong, Cheng Zhihua, Yang Quanwu, Deng Guo, Wei Hongjun, etc. The local party was headed by Liu Huafu, deputy secretary of the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau, and mainly composed of cadres from the Northern Bureau who had been trained as comrades in the past.

Yang Quanwu's statement would anger the local party and embarrass the military party, because by saying this, you are completely pushing away the local party in the base area.

Wei Hongjun was also secretly anxious beside him.

This old leader of mine was too proud and attached too much importance to the power within his jurisdiction. How many people had been kicked out of the first division because they had different ideas from him?

Now that he's the commander of the Jizhong Military Region, why is he still like this? He was originally the secretary of the Jizhong Border Region Party Committee and the top leader of the Party, government, and military in the Jizhong base area. Now he's saying this, is he trying to completely turn the Jizhong Military Region into his own backyard?

This sentence is so offensive.

No wonder Marshal Nie recommended Yang Quanwu for the position of Chief of the General Staff after his return. However, this was opposed by the military leaders at the time, who all disagreed with Yang Quanwu's appointment. Given their old leader's personality, how could those leaders possibly like him? Perhaps they even had a grudge against him.

Marshal Nie was very angry, so he said in a deep voice: "Why, if our Jinchayi Central Bureau sends cadres over, you are going to deny it?

Yang Quanwu heard the anger in Marshal Nie's tone, so he immediately explained, "Commander, that's not what I meant.

"."

Marshal Nie snorted coldly.

He said angrily: "I don't care what you think, but remember one thing. If anyone engages in 'sectarianism' or 'mountaintopism', don't blame me for being rude." Marshal Nie scolded while staring at Yang Quanwu.

Yang Quanwu immediately lowered his head.

Luo Qirong advised from the side: "Commander, I don't think Comrade Yang Quanwu means that either.

Luo Qirong and Yang Quanwu also knew each other.

As early as the Red Army period, Yang Quanwu was a commander under Luo Qirong.

In other words, they all came from the Red Fourth Army and were cadres of the Red First Corps. And although Luo Qirong was an outsider cadre in the Jin-Cha-Ji region, he did have a strong base. Many of his former subordinates from the Anti-Japanese University were in Jin-Cha-Ji, many of whom were currently in Yang Quanwu's Hebei Central Military Region.

So he spoke to lighten the mood.

Wei Hongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Marshal Nie still cares about Yang Quanwu.

He seemed very angry and his criticism seemed very harsh, but it was actually good for Yang Quanwu.

Hitting means kissing and scolding means loving.

This is not only applicable between lovers, but also to the relationship between Nie Shuai and Yang Quanwu.

Only then did Marshal Nie calm down.

"The Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau will not interfere with the daily work of the district committees in the border regions or the arrangement of general cadres. However, the arrangement of important cadres must be approved by the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau. This is discipline.

After saying that, he looked at Yang Quanwu.

Yang Quanwu immediately said, "Yes."

"Let's continue with the previous topic. Do you have any difficulties?"

"Commander, let me say a few words."

Huang Yong spoke.

The general said: "If our Jilu Military Region wants to attack Baoding and take it down, will Baoding belong to the Jizhong Military Region or our Jilu Military Region?

Marshal Nie frowned.

Coach Nie has complicated feelings towards Huang Yong.

I like Huang Yong's bravery. Since Huang Yong took over as commander of the Third Division, the Third Division has grown rapidly. Compared to when Chen Manyuan was commander, the Third Division's combat effectiveness has increased rapidly. Victories have continued one after another.

This is a general who can fight.

This kind of general is very popular in times of war.

Marshal Nie was also quite angry with Huang Yong. Ever since the July 7 Incident and the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army, Huang Yong had been a major troublemaker. He was demoted all the way, but in the end, because of his fighting ability, he was given the position of deputy commander of the Third Division.

But he was not at peace in the third district either.

He had a huge quarrel with Commander Chen Manyuan.

Wang Zhi went to the Third Division to mediate the conflict between Chen Manyuan and Huang Yong. However, Wang Zhi was unable to mediate the conflict between the two. However, in wartime, the ability to fight is an advantage. That's why Chen Manyuan was transferred and Huang Yong was appointed commander of the Third Division.

But this person is too unruly.

If Yang Quanwu was incapable of uniting people, then Huang Yong was truly unruly. While Yang Quanwu was incapable of uniting people, he was superior to others in terms of strategy within the Jincha Army. Marshal Nie's high regard for Yang Quanwu was not without reason.

However, Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong have always had a bad relationship.

Huang Yong, in particular, was deeply dissatisfied with Yang Quanwu. Huang Yong, a veteran of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, had a higher rank and seniority than Yang Quanwu during his Red Army days. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Quanwu soared to prominence, conquering half of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.

The number of troops developed by Yang Quanwu's Independent Regiment was the largest in the Eighth Route Army system.

If we talk about the small factions that developed from the brigade and regimental units of the Eighth Route Army, the Independent Regiment is undoubtedly the first. Seriously speaking, many of the troops in the current Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, including the Ji-Central, Cha-Sui, Ji-Re-Cha Military Regions, as well as the Ji-Lu Military Region and the Yan-Bei Military Region, are descendants of the Independent Regiment.

Moreover, after the Seventh National Congress, Yang Quanwu was promoted to alternate member of the Central Committee, member of the Central Bureau of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and deputy commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. Huang Yong was immediately overshadowed by Yang Quanwu.

This is something Huang Yong has never accepted.

Huang Yong believed that if Chen Manyuan's appointment as commander hadn't hindered the development of the Third Division, he wouldn't have fallen so far behind Yang Quanwu. Baoding was the most important city between the Hebei-Central Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong Military Region.

Huang Yong didn't want to give Baoding to the Ji Zhong Military Region.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army was frequently targeted by the Japanese army, and everyone had to do the counter-sweeping work. But now the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger and stronger, and is beginning to suppress the Japanese army. They are even discussing the possibility of seizing territory.

When the fight for this territory begins, everyone's interests become different.

Conflicts of interest have already begun.

Marshal Nie looked at Luo Qirong and Cheng Zhihua.

He suppressed his own cards and said, "What do you think?"

Cheng Zhihua didn't say anything.

Both Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong were important generals from the Central Red Army. Yang Quanwu was Marshal Nie's favorite general, and Huang Yong was a general from the Autumn Harvest Uprising. Cheng Zhihua, a cadre from the Fourth Front Army, had previously served in the Yizhong Military Region. Although he was now the deputy commander of the Jin-Cha-Yi Military Region, he was still an outsider cadre in the Jin-Cha-Ji region, so he didn't want to get involved in such matters. Or rather, since the Beiyue District swallowed up the Jizhong Military Region and Lü Zhengchao took ten regiments to the Jinsui Military Region, Cheng Zhihua's base in the Jin-Cha-Ji region had almost completely disappeared. Therefore, it would not be a good thing for Cheng Zhihua to offend any of them in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

Luo Qirong smiled and said, "Commander, I think this is easy. Whichever of the Jizhong Military Region or the Jilu Military Region captures Baoding will take over its jurisdiction."

Marshal Nie smiled and nodded.

Marshal Nie and Luo Qirong had known each other since the Red Army period. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Luo Qirong had been serving in Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Later, the central government sent Luo Qirong to Jinchayi to serve.

Overall, Marshal Nie is still satisfied with Luo Qirong.

Marshal Nie was a relatively honest person, or perhaps better at appeasing and uniting cadres. Luo Qirong, on the other hand, had been involved in security and political work for the Central Committee for many years, so his words sometimes carried a lot of weight.

Luo Qirong can work with Commander Nie in a balanced manner.

"You heard it. I agree with what Comrade Luo Qirong said. Whichever of your two military regions captures Baoding, Baoding will belong to that military region. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Huang Yong was very happy.

He felt that Marshal Nie doted on Yang Quanwu too much.

Why is it that whenever there is cadre allocation in the military region, Division 1 always gets the most? When weapons and ammunition are allocated, Division 1 always gets the most.

Even the military uniforms are mostly found in one division.
