Chapter 2: Cross-flow (Nine Seconds)

"Commander Su." Unexpectedly, Su Xing had to act solely. The security chief Liu Guoliang exclaimed angrily, "It's not time to act irritating. As the commander, you have to be responsible for the entire military sub-district."

"It is precisely because I have to be responsible for the entire military sub-district that I insist on choosing Comrade Zhang Songling as the captain of the Black Stone Guerrillas." Su Xing raised his head gently, his eyes connected with Liu Guoliang's gaze in the air, as if he had the opportunity to touch a string of invisible Mars. "I'll ask you, who has the experience of fighting with the Japanese army above a squadron? Who had eaten their baggage team under the nose of the Japanese with absolutely weak forces, and let the Japanese keep for several months. Even if you can't move, who not only knows how to fight, but also knows how to open up wealth for the guerrillas, so that the team can be self-sufficient in the sparsely populated grassland areas without relying on any self-sustainment of the superior. If you, Liu Guoliang, can find such a candidate in the entire military sub-district, no matter who he is, I can immediately let him be the captain of the Black Stone Guerrillas. But, what are we at hand?, in a short time, the superior may have specially trained such a talent for us," he said.

A series of questions made Liu Guoliang immediately sweat on his forehead and his face turned as dark as Tongyun in winter. In terms of personal abilities, he thought Zhang Songling was a rare talent. However, as a security cadre who has been engaged in security work for many years, the four words "preventing problems and preventing them from escalating" have almost been engraved into his bones. And habitually, the more dazzling the talent, the more nitpicking it. After all, the losses caused by a mediocre talent entering the middle-level leadership position of the military sub-district are far less than those of a talent with ulterior motives. And as the strength of his skills increases, the potential destructiveness will increase exponentially.

Gripping his teeth and taking a small step back, he looked at Su Xing stubbornly, "What you said is his credit and strengths. I have seen almost every item with my own eyes, so I don't know, and I can't deny it. However, Comrade Su Xing, when we use people, we can't just look at whether he has the ability."

"If you don't look at your ability, then what do you want me to see? Will he understand his boss's feelings or his relationship with me? If that's the case, what's the difference between us and the old warlords?" Su Xing was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Guoliang's previous behavior, raised his eyebrows and continued to ask loudly.

"I didn't mean that, you know I didn't mean that. In this matter, I can guarantee that I have no selfishness." Liu Guoliang was asked very wronged, stubbornly raised his head, and refused to give in. "As a security cadre, I must perform my duties. I can't just look at whether he has the ability or not, I also have to see whether he is loyal to our career."

"What do you think? Is there a specific standard?" Su Xing's voice lowered a little, but his tone was still very fierce. "Look at his Marxist-Leninist works, or he still saw whether he had written a blood book. Comrade Liu Guoliang, you are a security cadre, you perform your duties, as long as you do not interfere with the normal operation of the division, I will definitely support it with all my strength. However, you cannot affect my normal use of cadres because of your cautiousness. Indeed, he has been an officer of the Kuomintang, but General Zhu, Deputy General Peng, and Commander He, who have never been an Kuomintang army. Officials, in terms of rank, are they much higher than a small company commander. Their future in the Kuomintang is much greater than that of a small company commander. Then why can they be the commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army, deputy commander-in-chief, and a small company commander-in-chief in our military division? Only allow the state officials to set fire and the people to light the lamps is not allowed. Is that the rule of our Eighth Route Army? If anyone who has any connection with the Kuomintang is removed from the team, who else can we have left in the Eighth Route Army, including you Liu Guoliang himself, can you guarantee that you will have no contact with the Kuomintang in your life?"

"I, I" Liu Guoliang was asked with a dark face and his lips trembled. He couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. As early as the first time of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he had also joined the Kuomintang with orders from his superiors, so he could never say that he had no contact with the Kuomintang. But can that situation be equivalent to Zhang Songling's situation? It was recorded in the archives. Who gave the order, which department of the Kuomintang, how long he worked, when he left, etc., they were all clear. They were not like Zhang Songling, who was confused from head to toe.

"And." The sound of footsteps sounded in the yard outside. Su Xing didn't want other staff members of the headquarters to hear the dispute between him and Liu Guoliang, and his voice was lowered. "If it weren't for someone who was extremely loyal to our career, he would put life and death aside several times, just to delay the Japanese's attack on the guerrillas? You always suspect that he was a spy sent by the Military Control Commission, but if he was really a spy, if he wanted to complete the task, he had to save his life first, to make the Youth The team fought for the time to evacuate, and he almost even lost his life several times. Have you ever seen such a selfless and fearless spy? If the bullet doesn't have eyes and kill him, who will give him the spy task he is responsible for? My Section Chief Liu, please tell me the problem is to tell a little normal logic, don't always sit in the office and be suspicious. Please open your eyes wide and see what this person has done. In the end, the beneficiary fell on. "

The last two sentences made Liu Guoliang more speechless. Su Xing asked nothing wrong. If Zhang Songling was a spy sent by the Military Control Commission, then he would never ignore his own life. If he wanted to complete the task, he had to protect his useful body, and should not completely put life and death as the Black Stone Guerrillas reported several times in the documents.

"Well, um, let me get a word. According to Comrade Wang Hong's report, he also mobilized his brother to donate money and materials to support the development of the guerrillas. In his daily work, he was also very honest and loving. Although he established the salt farm and several workshops that could make money, he was responsible for formulating various rules, but he did not get a penny from it." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun knocked on the table with his fingers, and also spoke slowly on the side.

Integrity does not mean that he must be a loyal Communist cadre. Among the backbone of the Kuomintang, there are actually some people who can keep themselves clean. However, Zhang Jiyun suddenly spoke at this time, which effectively eased the atmosphere of communication between Su Xing and Liu Guoliang. At least, it made the two turn part of their attention to themselves, rather than continue to stare at each other and look at each other.

"And it." Su Xing and Liu Guoliang successfully interrupted the dispute. Zhang Jiyun decided to continue his efforts. "Comrade Wang Hong's understanding of the Black Stone Guerrillas must be much clearer than the three of us. Judging from his performance over the years, he is not a reckless person. I always feel that he chose Zhang Songling as his successor after careful consideration, rather than simply out of his personal favorability for the latter."

Two to one, among the three main leaders, two of them have clearly expressed their trust and support for Zhang Songling. Even if Liu Guoliang insists on taking the selection of the Black Stone Guerrillas to the regular meeting to vote, it will not affect the final result. Moreover, Su Xing, as the commander and political commissar, has a far greater influence among senior cadres than him. As long as the former raises his hand to support any issue, there will definitely be a large group of people below to raise their hands without hesitation. Even if Zhang Jiyun and Liu Guoliang express their opposition at the same time, they will not be able to regain the situation.

Realizing that it was meaningless to be stubborn, Liu Guoliang had to take the initiative to give in, take his eyes away from Su Xing's eyes, and add angrily, "If you both insist on letting Comrade Zhang Songling be the main person in charge of the Black Stone Guerrillas, then there is no need to attend the meeting. Anyway, that is the commander's authority, but I retain my own opinions and will always stare at the other side with one eye. I hope the two commanders will understand this."

"Okay." Su Xing smiled and nodded in agreement, "The same thing is true. As long as you do not interfere with the normal operation of the guerrillas, I will do my best to cooperate with you. In addition, there is one thing that requires you, Section Chief Liu, to provide full support."

"Which one?" Liu Guoliang did not want to have a freak with Su Xing subjectively, so he forced a smile and asked in a low voice.

"It's the one mentioned by the Black Stone Guerrillas in the telegram." Su Xing turned around and took the telegram from Zhang Jiyun, pointed to the translated text and said: "Try to make the guerrillas go down the mountain to cooperate with the 93rd Regiment to cooperate with the cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and Fu Zuoyi's troops, and even find ways to link this matter with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China to fight against Japan. In short, no matter what method you use, even if you lower your body, and say that we want to repay General Fu Zuoyi's years of support, we have to directly point the name of the Black Stone Guerrillas into Fu Zuoyi's headquarters."

"As far as I know, General Fu Zuoyi is quite shameless among the senior cadres of the Jinsui Army." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun smiled and added in a low voice, "He sent liaison cadres from our Eighth Route Army to Wuyuan City to leave the country with regular gifts, and did not directly take hostages according to Yan Laoxi's request. Therefore, the Black Stone Guerrillas cooperated with the 93rd Regiment to fight. If he could pretend not to know, he would definitely warn Sun Lanfeng and others not to provoke trouble without authorization."

"Since you have decided to follow the opinions put forward by the Black Stone Guerrillas, I will definitely support them with all my strength." Liu Guoliang said without thinking, and made a loud statement, not bringing personal emotions into his work. At this point, he has always done very well. This is also one of the main reasons why he and Su Xing have repeatedly argued because of different opinions over the years, but have always respected and cooperated with each other. Even other brothers envied the close relationship between the two.

After thinking about it, he continued to add, "However, I have to remind you that the mutiny of the international battalion should not be underestimated. Comrade Wang Hong was there, and with his reputation, he could suppress those Belarusians. At that time, the main strength of the guerrillas was far greater than that of these Belarusian guest troops. After experiencing the setback last year, the strength comparison between the Blackstone guerrillas and the international battalion was somewhat changed. Yula was the first person to try to seize the opportunity, but it was not necessarily the last one."

Su Xing nodded slightly, "You mentioned this correctly. We have to solve the problem of the international camp quickly. Someone has already put forward opinions on the Soviet big brother. It is just because the scale of the international camp is too small that they did not formally protest to the National Government and our Eighth Route Army."

"Please hand over the international camp to the military region, and then disperse it to each district as riding instructors." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun thought for a while and whispered, "After the actual combat tests a while ago, many brother units wanted to build their own light cavalry. In terms of traditional cavalry combat skills and various tactics, the Cossack cavalry had always been a model for countries around the world!"

"This is a good method." Su Xing slapped the table and cheered for Zhang Jiyun's flexible mind. "Dozens of people dispersed, which not only reduced the risk of their gathering together to cause trouble, but also reduced the big brother's attention. The National Government could not say anything. He could not allow us to use Belarusians as soldiers. We should not even invite foreign cavalry instructors, but"

Frowning and thinking for a while, he hesitantly discussed with Zhang and Liu's colleagues, "But if you do this, you will invisibly weaken the strength of the Black Stone Guerrillas a lot."

Zhang Jiyun thought about it and shook his head gently, "After experiencing a mutiny, even if the international camp stayed in the guerrillas, Comrade Xiao Zhang would not dare to use them in a short period of time. It would be better to use our hands and solve this problem as soon as possible. As for the impact of the guerrilla strength,"

Frowning and pondering for a moment, he quickly suggested, "Just let's send two platoons from the direct troops that the military sub-district has just finished training this year. Although the riding skills are definitely not as good as the original soldiers of the Blackstone Guerrillas, fortunately, they have all experienced basic training and are better than recruiting new recruits from scratch."

"This idea is good." Liu Guoliang nodded with a smile, "The population around the Black Stone Guerrillas is small, and it is not easy to recruit soldiers. Sending two people to rank can just solve the urgent needs of the comrades."
