Today's dinner lasted until nearly 9:30. Finally, except for Zhang Yunfei, everyone was a little drunk. Everyone was very happy this time.../

When everyone was about to leave the table, Zhang Yunfei said: "How much does it cost to check out the shopkeeper?"

Before waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief, why are you embarrassed to ask you to pay for it? I'll pay the bill."

Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "Old Zuo, I'll do it. Who asked me to sit in the main seat today?"

When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei joking again, they all laughed happily.

When the two were still insisting on who paid, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly said, "Chiefs, don't insist on this meal anymore. The restaurant will treat you to the restaurant. Today, the leaders will visit the restaurant and make the restaurant prosperous. It is a great honor for the restaurant. How can the chief pay out of his own pocket?"

"That won't work!" Zhang Yunfei and Zuo Qingquan immediately objected when they saw the shopkeeper say this.

In the end, Zhang Yunfei took out his pocket. Now Zhang Yunfei does not lack these dozens of oceans at all. It is better to keep the money from Chief Zuo to help others. Chief Zuo scoops out nearly half of his military pay every month to help those poor people. Zhang Yunfei knows that.

................

Yan'an.

Just after breakfast, the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief and Vice Chairman Wu discussed some things in the Chairman's cave. At present, some telegrams from the 18th Army have been put on the Chairman's desk.

Now, the 18th Army has opened up many bases in North China. However, as the Anti-Japanese War entered a strategic stalemate stage, the Japanese implemented a cage policy in North China and repeatedly swept the bases. Now, the development of the 18th Army has reached a relatively difficult period.

Although the current situation is much better than in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the total number of troops of the 18th Army was nearly 300,000, but as the number of people was large, the demand for weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, etc. also increased accordingly.

At present, in addition to a limited amount of international aid, there is only the support of the 36th Army. However, these aids are still a certain distance from the real demand.

As the general head of the 18th Army and a member of the Central three-member military group, the commander-in-chief is quite clear about the situation of the Eighth Route Army. He is now frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

The three of them discussed for a long time. The initial plan was to launch another round of hard, simple, thrifty movement, and call on everyone to save every grain of food and every bullet. We all spent this period together. Next year, when the wheat harvest in spring is good, the situation may improve greatly.

During the three people's discussion, Vice Chairman Wu even proposed to scoop some of the money from the limited funds of the central government to purchase a batch of grain on the market, but this proposal was quickly rejected by the Chairman.

Now, since it is a war-torn period and winter is about to begin, the price of grain in the market is also rising again and again. For example, the price of wheat has increased from 10 yuan per 10 kilograms of ocean in summer to nearly 15 yuan now.

At present, the central government's funds are also relatively tight. If Zhang Yunfei had not supported 100,000 oceans every month, there might have been a shortage.

Seeing that his proposal was rejected by the Chairman, Vice Chairman Wu said with some concern: "Chairman, then our food shortage may be difficult to resolve. It is better for ammunition. As long as there is no major war, we can still basically cope with the support of the 36th Army and the production of the border arsenal."

Upon hearing this, the Chairman thought about it and suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that we are going to fight the 36th Army. The 36th Army has just won a big victory, and there should be a lot of things seized."

The Chairman's guess was correct. The 36th Army annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese devils in Guisui. There were quite a few weapons and ammunition captured alone, including more than 50,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 1,000 crooked machine guns, more than 800 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 60 Type 92 infantry cannons, more than 100 60mm mortars, more than 200 grenade launchers, more than 2 million bullets, and more than 200 to 30,000 shells of various types.

In addition, 60,000 sets of Japanese military uniforms were seized, many of which were thick cotton military uniforms, more than 20,000 quilts, more than 1,000 war horses, three to four thousand tons of grain, a lot of gold and oceans, as well as some antiques, calligraphy and paintings plundered by Japanese, etc.

The commander-in-chief and Vice Chairman Wu were also lit up when they saw the chairman say this. Both of them thought that the idea of ​​fighting Zhang Yunfei might be a good choice.

Just as the three of them were discussing how to speak to Zhang Yunfei, a personal guard of the chairman scooped up the telegram and reported loudly at the entrance of the cave: "Chairman, the 36th Group has just sent a telegram."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and thought to themselves that as soon as they talked about the 36th Army, Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram. It seems that, don’t think about how to speak to Zhang Yunfei, the things they need will come to their doors automatically.

So, Chairman?p>

Lang shouted: "Xu Zi, come in and let me see what telegram it is.?p>

After receiving the telegram, the Chairman looked at it seriously. After reading it, the Chairman circulated the telegram to the Commander-in-Chief and Vice Chairman Wu. The content of the telegram was relatively long, and it took them several minutes to read it.

Seeing the two of them finish reading, the chairman said with a smile: "Comrade Yun Fei is really good. He clearly explained the seizure situation, and the telegram also said that all the seized things were handed over to the Central Committee, and the 36th Army did not leave any of them."

Although Vice Chairman Wu had little dealing with Zhang Yunfei, he still said with great emotion when he saw this telegram: "Chairman, Comrade Yunfei is really a good comrade. He has a strong sense of the overall situation. He knew that the central government is in a difficult situation now, so he took the initiative to hand over all the seized things."

Upon hearing this, the Chairman was very happy and praised again: "Comrade Yunfei is not bad. Having a good comrade like Yunfei is a blessing for our whole party and our entire army."

The person who was most happy to see the telegram was the commander-in-chief. At this time, the commander-in-chief stretched out his frowns, and instead he was full of smiles. He was reluctant to let go of the telegram he was scooped in his hand.

After a long time, the commander-in-chief said happily: "Chairman, with these things captured by the 36th Army, all our problems have been solved. We can not only survive these difficult periods smoothly, but also have the ability to further expand the troops of tens of thousands of people and further consolidate our base.

Among the seized materials, there are a lot of gold and silver, which is more than 100 kilograms of gold and nearly one million in the ocean. In addition, there are a lot of antiques, jade and calligraphy. With these things, our central government has become more abundant in these months."

Vice Chairman Wu also continued: "This time, Comrade Yun Fei and the 36th Army have made such great contributions to the Central Committee, we must also express our good intentions and reward them well."

Upon hearing this, the Chairman also said happily: "That is a good reward, but let's talk about how to reward it better?"

Yes, how can the reward be better? Commander-in-Chief and Vice Chairman Wu thought to themselves. At present, Zhang Yunfei's position in the military is already very high. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, he is almost as good as the commander-in-chief. Zhang Yunfei's position in the military can definitely enter the top five.

If there is material reward, it is even more useless. The 36th Army currently lacks nothing, and it has enough food, clothing, weapons and ammunition, and can also support the central government.

After thinking about it, the commander-in-chief suddenly had a bright light and thought of a good idea. He suggested: "Chairman, Comrade Yun Fei joined the Central Committee last year. I suggest that Comrade Yun Fei be added as a member of the Central Political Bureau immediately. This is a reward from the Central Committee. As for the 36th Army's victory in Guisui, we can report and praise it in the entire army and the whole party."

After listening to the advice of the commander-in-chief, the chairman agreed and said with a smile: "I think this proposal is OK. A few days later, we will hold a plenary meeting of the Politburo, and I will propose to add Comrade Zhang Yunfei as a member of the Politburo."

Originally, each member of the Politburo was elected by the Party Congress, but now it is a special period and can also be decided by the plenary meeting of the Politburo.

After saying that, the Chairman pondered for a moment and then said, "I am also planning to recommend the Central Committee to establish the Northwest Bureau, and it is recommended that Zhang Yunfei serve as the newly established Northwest Bureau Secretary."

At present, there are North China Bureau and South China Bureau. The secretary of North China Bureau is the commander-in-chief and the secretary of South China Bureau is the vice chairman Wu. The central government has not yet established the Northwest Bureau. With the further expansion of the base area of ​​the 36th Group, it is entirely necessary to establish the Northwest Bureau.

The Chairman's proposal was naturally agreed with the Commander-in-Chief and Vice Chairman Wu.

A few days later, a plenary meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee was held in Yan'an. The meeting passed the resolution to add Comrade Zhang Yunfei as a member of the Central Committee and decided to establish the Northwest Bureau, where Zhang Yunfei also served as the secretary of the Northwest Bureau.

A few days later, Zhang Yunfei, who knew the decision of the Central Committee, was also very happy. He thought to himself that as his party positions gradually increase, his influence will gradually increase in the future, hoping to affect the correct development direction of the party in the future and avoid some mistakes.

.............

While the chairman and the other two were discussing Zhang Yunfei's affairs in the cave, Zhang Yunfei was also busy at this time. Zhang Yunfei was bargaining with the Japanese North China Front Army about exchanging the bodies of the Japanese general.

The two sides finally agreed to negotiate in the eastern suburbs of Daping Town through multiple telegram exchanges, and after two or three hours, Zhang Yunfei's offer in the telegram was 6 million yuan, and he handed over the money and the other hand. However, the Japanese did not reply clearly to the offer in the telegram, but said that they would discuss it in detail during the meeting.
