Chapter 195 Demotion!
As Zheng How to train the Saber Special Forces, this special forces team that was trained at a high price seems a bit wasteful of resources. But in fact, the role it can play is not comparable to ordinary troops.
If Mao Taizu and others did not understand the definition of "special warfare", then this mission performed by He Zhengdao in Xi'an, the mission carried out by He Zhengdao in Xi'an made them truly understand the power of this unit.
In the eyes of many people, the war in Xi'an that was about to break out. With a power outage, it seemed that the smoke and smoke soon disappeared. Gu Zhutong, who had just taken office, was quickly recalled to Nanjing. I am afraid that the ending of him will not be too good.
Even if Director Zheng, who is in the Xi'an representative office, was also recalled by Chiang Kai-shek. The reason is very simple. At least before the Spring Festival, Chiang Kai-shek would not be able to do anything about Xi'an anymore, unless he really ignores the people who protest every day and have students.
But when Director Zheng returned to Nanjing and learned that this matter was done by He Zhengdao, Lao Jiang, who heard the name, smashed a beloved teacup again and cursed: "Niang Xipi, it's this damn column again."
From these words, it is enough to show how angry he was at He Zhengdao. Dai Li, who was soon called to the presidential room, looked at Lao Jiang with an angry look, and seemed to know that he was coming, and he was afraid he would be scolded.
‘Yunnong, why has the matter I told you before, so why hasn’t been completed yet?’
A sudden sentence made Dai Li say a little confused: "What the principal is talking about Xi'an's rebellion?"
'You are so embarrassed to say this! Who gave you the order that he dared to let the people of the Fuxing Society cooperate with the Japanese. Do you know that now that this handle will make us very passive? Do you understand?'
'Please punish the principal! This is the fault of the Yunong. Beishi will definitely handle this matter properly and ensure that no longer be caught. In this matter, we have indeed underestimated the Red Army's reconnaissance capabilities.'
Looking at Dai Li who admitted his mistakes honestly, Lao Jiang knew very well that Dai Li was indeed wrong in this matter, but he was also very careful. After all, no one expected that the other party would dare to search the representative office of the Central Army with great courage.
Even if it was too late to destroy the information, it could only be said that they all underestimated the Red Army's ability in this regard. Thinking about the power supply, Chiang Kai-shek was even more angry.
He said directly: "Yunnong, today I came to you to ask about the column. This unit is stationed in Yulin. We seem to know too little about it. Do you have any progress in this regard?"
When he heard that it was about the column, Dai Li felt a little nervous and said carefully: "Report to Chairman, when the 86th Division in Yulin area was stationed, our intelligence department did not set up a station there.
Later, when the column was stationed, we also dispatched a lot of intelligence officers. However, they have implemented a very strict military-civilian joint defense system. As long as they are strangers, they will be investigated by their government and the army.
We are there and have increased our penetration. Although there has been some progress, there is not much valuable information. According to the current situation, the training of this army is very strong.
Moreover, compared with other Red Army members, they all live with the common people, it is easier for us to reconnaise intelligence. Most of the main forces of this team have special military camps, and idle people are prohibited from approaching.
We have arranged a lot of intelligence officers to sneak in for the recruitment activities they launched in the previous episode. It’s just that the time is too short and we haven’t received too useful information yet. However, our operations department will increase the efforts to collect intelligence!”
‘Didn’t I tell you in the previous episode that I must solve this person? I have a premonition. This person has brought fatal damage to the cause of our party and country. Now it seems that my premonition is not wrong.
No matter what you think, you must keep an eye on this matter. Once you have the chance, you must kill him. This time our plan in Xi'an failed. A big reason is because of this person. Do you know it?’
‘Please rest assured, the student will definitely draw capable personnel to be responsible for this matter!’
When Chiang Kai-shek continued to strictly order Dai Li to get rid of He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao, who returned to the headquarters, was demoted. The reason was that during this incident, many people were killed during the reconnaissance trip.
The Nanjing government also accused He Zhengdao of using too insulting words and actions when treating the Central Army representatives. In short, internal doubts and external protests forced Mao Taizu to make a decision to punish.
Many people with good relationship with He Zhengdao immediately raised doubts about such punishments. Even Xiao Jinguang, the political commissar of the column, went to the headquarters in person to request the revocation of the punishment decision.
Only He Zhengdao seemed like nothing happened and said with a smile: "Political Commissar, I'll worry about the affairs of the column. This time I'm too popular, so I should be a little low-key.
In fact, this is the punishment I asked for from Committee Member Mao. The reason is very simple. My position has been promoted too quickly, and many people are a little jealous. There is no way. Since I am so jealous, I can only be honest.
After the New Year, I will study at the Anti-Japanese University for a while, which is also considered to be learning some culture. The headquarter will not send anyone to the column for the time being. If you tell those guys to be honest, don’t show any monsters at this time.
Otherwise, I'm afraid someone will say that I'm forming cliques in the column. In this matter, I think you should know about the political commissar. Some things, even if Commissioner Mao and others, need to take the overall situation into consideration!"
‘But there is a lot of things on the column, how can I get busy with it alone?’
After hearing He Zhengdao's explanation, Xiao Jinguang's expression was a little bad. In fact, as the business of the Yulin Border Region government became more and more prosperous, it was possible to submit a considerable amount of taxes to the headquarters every month, and some people were jealous.
The current strength of the column is undoubtedly the strongest among the Red Army. In this case, for many experienced Red Army soldiers, they feel a little uncomfortable, and it is normal to complain.
But for He Zhengdao, he was quite happy to have a little rest. It can even be said that through his demotion this time, He Zhengdao can see clearly that those people were not with him.
When these people have the opportunity in the future, He Zhengdao will let them know that jealousy will kill people. Mao Taizu was undoubtedly very angry in this matter.
But the problem is that a party cannot be diverted by a certain person's will. Therefore, after He Zhengdao took the initiative to talk to Mao Taizu, Mao Taizu did not argue with reason and agreed to the demotion of He Zhengdao.
But the Central Committee also held a series of discussions on whom to take over as the commander of the column. Finally, General Zhu said with a final say: "In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the column, I will serve as the commander of the column."
As the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, General Zhu made this decision, and no one else could say much. But in fact, Xiao Jinguang was still responsible for the matter of the column, and others could not intervene.
After this information was detected by the lurking Central Military Intelligence Officer, Chiang Kai-shek also felt very surprised. After all, he knew very well that He Zhengdao, who was Mao Taizu's direct confidant, was demoted.
In a sense, punishing He Zhengdao was also a blow to Mao Taizu. This made Chiang feel that perhaps he should give the Red Army more time. Perhaps over time, there might be any changes that would make him happy.
As a result, the column was undoubtedly very angry when they learned that He Zhengdao was demoted. However, with Xiao Jinguang's return, these division commanders quickly returned to their respective command posts after the meeting.
For He Zhengdao, such a thing cannot hit him. At least in the negotiations between the two parties, the negotiator who kept insulting Director Zheng was not much more said.
Even Zhou Enlai said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. If you continue to focus on this matter, then I will invite reporters from major newspapers to make the truth about the 22nd Incident public.
At that time, I will see what the military and civilians in the war of resistance across the country will think of you. In my opinion, Director Zheng is completely self-defeating. If Xiao He had not appeared, he would not even think about returning to Nanjing alive, and the Northeast Army soldiers would have torn him away.
If you continue to delay the negotiations on cooperation with such reasons, then I will assume that you have no sincerity to carry out the negotiations. Then we don’t need to talk anymore. Our Red Army will organize the northward anti-Japanese war on its own!"
In Zhou Enlai's opinion, he felt that He Zhengdao did a good job in what happened in Xi'an. Although his approach may be a bit extreme, the effect was undoubtedly very significant. At least the veterans of the Northeast Army were grateful to He Zhengdao for doing it to them.
Under such circumstances, the Kuomintang still wants to take the opportunity to threaten it, so how could he not be angry?
It's just a pity that even the representatives of the Central Army did not continue to mention the need to severely punish He Zhengdao. When it came to the number of troops and organization, the opinions of the two parties were too different, and the final talks ended in vain.
When Mao Taizu returned to the headquarters, he also seemed very angry when he learned that the Central Army only gave the Red Army, which had 300,000 troops, the 10th Brigade of the Sixth Division. He also seemed very angry. There was no one who could arrange this number!
He also said directly: "Enlei, don't have to talk to them anymore, it's a waste of time. Look! I think there will inevitably be major changes this year. At that time, I want them to ask us to discuss together!"
I have to say that Mao Taizu does have a very unique vision in judging the current situation. If He Zhengdao heard this, he would definitely give Mao Taizu a thumbs up. Because, big things will indeed happen this year!
