Chapter 651 Changes in the Chief of Staff
"According to what you said, we can't take over the task of breaking the Zhengtai Railway!" Tang Yufeng was scared after hearing this, so he quickly expressed his thoughts.
"It just so happened that the war zone refused us to ask for help, and was still stumbling to us behind the scenes, allowing intelligence personnel to go deep into our defense zone to cause damage. The soldiers are intolerable. We just refused this order on the pretext of the lack of military spending, weapons, ammunition and food in the army."
"If the war zone insists on letting us break the Zhengtai Railway, we will open a lion's mouth and open a war zone that cannot meet our requirements, forcing the war zone to give up the idea of letting us break the Zhengtai Railway."
Zheng Yunshan nodded immediately and agreed: "I think I can do this."
"The war zone cannot want the horse to run without giving it to the horse. There is no such good thing in the world."
"I want us to break the Zhengtai Railway. No problem. I have to make up all the military pay, food, weapons and ammunition that I owed us before. We will definitely send troops. Such a call is reasonable and well-founded. Even if we disobey the military order, others will not be able to find fault. It is impossible for the soldiers to fight against the Japanese armed to their teeth with bare hands."
"Although I don't know how much military pay the war zone owes us and how much food, weapons and ammunition we need to be supplemented, this amount is definitely unbearable for the war zone, so they can only give up the idea of letting us break the Zhengtai Railway."
Chen Zhengyu, who had not spoken next to him, suddenly spoke: "Captain, if we call back like this, it is obvious that the lion spoke up. It is impossible for a war zone to meet our conditions."
"At a glance, we can understand that we did not mean to break the Zhengtai Railway, and we didn't want to break the Zhengtai Railway. Do you think there will be some other ideas for this?"
Zhou Cheng looked at Chen Zhengyu with an interest on his face and asked: "What do you think they will have an idea after seeing this call back."
"It is further confirmed that we have reached a secret agreement with the Japanese and puppet troops. Maybe they will feel that we have made a decision to surrender to the Japanese and puppet troops, otherwise we would not have been so determined to refuse to execute the order."
"If such an idea really occurs in the war zone, the war zone will definitely give up on us. Maybe it will directly invent a telegram to announce that our national rescue army is a rebel, and everyone will be punished."
"In that case, we will not be able to continue to implement the original development plan, and we will also be labeled as a traitor in advance. If the operation is not good, it will definitely affect the morale and morale of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the defense zone!"
Zhou Cheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
After Zheng Yunshan finished speaking of his proposal, Zhou Cheng made a decision to refuse.
Just as he was about to say it, he was taken first by the Chief of Staff, and the Chief of Staff had an idea that was similar to his own, and he also disagreed with and completely rejected the war zone order.
After listening to Chen Zhengyu's analysis, Zhou Cheng was very surprised.
Because the Chief of Staff not only has the same views as himself, but also gives the same reasons as he thinks.
In addition to being shocked, the eyes of Chen Zhengyu also increased their admiration and satisfaction.
When the National Salvation Army was first formed, because the troops lacked cadres, they had no choice but to promote Chen Zhengyu to the position of Chief of Staff.
At that time, Chen Zhengyu was only at the level of being a company commander, and often did whatever he said, without his own opinions or ideas.
Even if he is sent to perform tasks alone, the problem is not comprehensive on the battlefield. He always thinks of this and that, and he has no overall view.
Less than two years later, Chen Zhengyu's abilities have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not only did I have all the qualities and abilities that the Chief of Staff should have, but I also had my own opinions and ideas when facing problems. I also became more and more comprehensive in thinking about problems, and the overall view became stronger and stronger...
Zheng Yunshan’s proposal just now seems to have no problem, but he only considers the impact of the Japanese and puppet troops on the National Salvation Army and ignores the huge impact that the war zone may have on the National Salvation Army after the National Salvation Army refuses to execute the order.
The Chief of Staff obviously took this into consideration and raised objections.
Facing Chen Zhengyu's eyes, he replied: "My thoughts are the same as those of the Chief of Staff. We cannot only consider the feelings of the Japanese and puppet troops, and we cannot ignore the feelings of the war zone."
"Our next development plan is tantamount to letting the National Salvation Army dance on the Japanese and the two eggs where the war zone is located. If you are not careful, you will slide off one of the eggs and fall to pieces."
"If we call back according to the proposals you just said, the war zone will definitely feel that we have made up our minds to surrender to the Japanese, and then list us as rebels as soon as possible, and use all means to deal with us and destroy us."
"We will definitely fall from the egg where the war zone is located because of this incident and cannot continue to implement the original development plan."
Tang Yufeng and Zheng Yunshan showed thoughtful expressions one after another, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Zhou Cheng asked Chen Zhengyu with the intention of taking the teaching exam: "Chief of Staff, the call back that Lao Zheng just asked must not be sent. How do you think we should call back to the war zone?"
Chen Zhengyu blurted out: "Show our dissatisfaction to the war zone, and then issue conditions to let the war zone give us some compensation. As long as they agree to the conditions we put forward, the National Salvation Army will naturally implement the war zone order and actively send troops to break the Zhengtai Railway."
After hearing this, Zheng Yunshan frowned: "Isn't that similar to what I just proposed?"
Chen Zhengyu shook his head: "It's different! Deputy Commander Zheng, the condition you just asked was that the lion spoke big, too many, the war zone would definitely not agree. They knew at a glance that we didn't want to break the railway."
"The conditions I have put forward are much less, so that the war zone feels that there is a bargaining opportunity for this matter, which can meet our conditions and force us to break the Zhengtai Railway."
After listening to Chen Zhengyu's answer, Zheng Yunshan's frowning not only did not stretch, but instead wrinkled deeper and deeper.
"Chief of Staff, I understand what you mean!"
"The conditions we have issued should not be too high, so we must make the war zone feel that we have not made up our minds to surrender to the Japanese and puppet troops. As long as they meet our conditions, the National Salvation Army can turn against the Japanese and puppet troops at any time and send troops to break the Zhengtai Railway."
“But I think this proposal is too ideal.”
"What if the war zone really meets our conditions? It's impossible to get the benefits and not do anything!"
"Then go and break the Zhengtai Railway!" Zhou Cheng and Chen Zhengyu discussed and answered at the same time.
Zheng Yunshan became anxious after hearing this: "Captain, why am I becoming more and more confused as I listen?"
"Didn't we just analyze it? The Battle Zone gave us a bad idea. If we really do it, the relationship between the Battle Zone has been handled well. How to deal with the relationship between the Japanese and puppet troops? Are you planning to part ways with them and be worthy of being a shame?"
Chen Zhengyu and Zhou Cheng looked at each other, but unexpectedly, the group leader's thoughts were exactly the same as those of him. He immediately showed a look of embarrassment, feeling that he had snatched the group leader's words.
Zhou Cheng doesn't think so.
Since its establishment, the National Salvation Army has almost always decided on the final decisions when encountering major events, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a one-man rule.
Previously, the national rescue army had few troops and a small defense area, so I was confident that I could make the right decision.
Now the national rescue army has more and more troops, and the defense zone has increased several times. If the command center continues to be the same as before, it will be the only one who will be in the same position when encountering major events and have no objections, something will happen sooner or later.
Seeing that the Chief of Staff’s overall view is getting stronger and stronger, facing the problem, he actually made a decision that was exactly the same as himself. Not only was he not angry, but he was very happy.
The stronger Chen Zhengyu is, the stronger the command system of the National Salvation Army will be, and the more correct the decisions you make when encountering difficulties in the future.
Facing Chen Zhengyu's eyes, he asked with encouragement: "Chief of Staff, I guess our two have similar ideas. Since Lao Tang and Lao Zheng have not figured it out yet, please explain it to them and I will add it!"
"Yes, the leader!" Chen Zhengyu answered immediately.
Looking at Tang Yufeng and Zheng Yunshan, he analyzed: "Deputy Commander Tang and Deputy Commander Zheng, the task given to us is to cut off the Zhengtai Railway for half a month. As long as the Zhengtai Railway is interrupted for more than half a month, we will be considered to have completed the task."
"As for how the Zhengtai Railway was interrupted and who broke it, it doesn't matter."
"The war zone can wear the uniform of our National Rescue Army and then frame us. We can also pretend to be an operation team under the war zone intelligence department to break the railway, making the Japanese feel that the Zhengtai Railway was blown up by the war zone and that even if we ask for trouble, we won't find us."
"There are also the Eighth Route Army, the War Zone and the Japanese and Puppet Army, who don't know that we are not only not rebel against them, but also our own people."
"If we forward the orders from the war zone to the division headquarters, we will ask the surrounding Eighth Route Army troops to cooperate and attack the Zhengtai Railway together."
"Don't say half a month, it's okay to interrupt for a month."
"If the war zone asks, we will just reply to them. The Zhengtai Railway has been interrupted for more than half a month, and the National Salvation Army has successfully completed its mission. As for the others, we will not say a word!"
"The Japanese devils will explain better. As long as they are not allowed to find the real evidence of the National Salvation Army breaking the Zhengtai Railway, the Japanese devils will not blame us for the culprit, because they still want to incorporate us, and they will definitely not turn against us because of this incident, which will cause the relationship between the two sides to ease again."
Zhou Cheng stood beside him without arranging flowers. He nodded while listening. The smile on his face showed that he was particularly satisfied with Chen Zhengyu's answer.
After Chen Zhengyu finished speaking, he spoke: "Chief of Staff, you have one problem you have ignored!"
"In addition to sending troops to attack the Zhengtai Railway in secret, we also need to send troops to attack the Zhengtai Railway openly, so as not to say that the war zone has taken the benefits and will not work hard in the end."
"As for the Japanese, as long as we move behind the ambush, and when the Zhengtai Railway is blown off by the Eighth Route Army and the ambush we sent, we will definitely not anger the Japanese if we attack one or two sections of the railway!"
