Chapter 53: Inquiry and Conflict
Luo Yumin finally made breakthrough progress in the interviews with these soldiers. During the past few days of investigation and visits, Luo Yumin can clearly find a fact, that is, many soldiers are very dissatisfied with the people of the 18th Army.
There are many things they are not satisfied with, the most common thing is training. They think that it is even harder to train now than during the war. This is obviously a disguised revenge by these former Kuomintang officers on them.
Of course, Luo Yumin knew that Wang Mingyu was not a so-called Kuomintang officer, but had already secretly joined the CCP. Not many people knew about this matter, and it was simply a delusion to rely on this to defeat him. So Luo Yumin laughed it off. Soldier training is natural, and even Luo Yumin knew this truth, but these soldiers did not understand it. It was really a depressing thing.
Now Luo Yumin is concerned about where these injured people have gone? Could it be that Wang Mingyu has exiled them? Or did something else? Or was he really killed inhumanely? Now Luo Yumin feels that he is doing something earth-shaking. This big thing is to find out where the old, weak and disabled people in the new group of people in the 18th Army have gone?
In Luo Yumin's opinion, the indignation of these soldiers is really a bit unfair to be flattered. Obviously, there seems to be some hidden information here. In fact, the reason why Wang Mingyu wants to keep it confidential is because the place where they work is indeed a place where they need to be kept confidential.
Luo Yumin didn't know about this, these soldiers didn't know about it, and the soldiers who went there could not be contacted for the time being, so naturally it was impossible for him to know about it.
Luo Yumin said: "Comrades, our investigation has made breakthrough progress now. Why is there only about 10,000 left in the 18th Army's 72,000 people so far? This problem is very serious!"
Old Xu immediately stood up and said, "If it is true as the soldiers guessed, this is not a problem of mutiny. These soldiers are going to rise up and resist. Now they are still being exploited and oppressed by these Kuomintang officers. Let's not say that they dare to kill these old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. If they let these people work like slaves, this is a fact that people cannot accept. These people have made great contributions to our new China!"
Another person said: "Now our main problem is to figure out where these people are going and what they are doing. As long as you know these, it will be much easier to do! I think that for such a large group of people, the 18th Army cannot say where they are going, right?"
"Yes, if they do this, if they don't tell where these people are going, then there must be something wrong with this matter and our investigation will make the final progress."
"Now we have two situations to analyze. The first is what should we do if they say it, and the second is what should we do if they don't say it? And what is our purpose this time?"
"Our purpose this time is to investigate! If they say it, then we naturally have to ask clearly what these people are doing. It is best to see the representatives or what these people are doing. If they don't say it, it will be easier, and there will definitely be ghosts here! At that time, we can determine according to the situation and see what their attitude is, so that we can decide what our attitude is."
"Captain Luo, the 18th Army used to be a very famous unit. Are we doing this a little bit..."
"Xiao Wang, it's wrong for you to say that. We are investigating now. If they don't do anything bad, what can we do to them? Our problem now is that we must find out the truth about this matter, otherwise we will be sorry for the trust of the central government in us!"
"Now everyone acts separately. Lao Xu, go to the dozen people who were arrested to interrogate to see if they can ask for some substantial things. I will go to the 18th Army and ask clearly where these people are going! Act separately!"
"Yes, team leader!" Everyone responded with a loud bang!
In Wang Mingyu's office, Luo Yumin and others were sitting there, looking at Wang Mingyu!
"Captain Wang, can you tell me where these people are going?" Luo Yumin asked in an aggressive tone.
"Sorry, this involves military secrets, I have no right to answer your question!" Wang Mingyu shrugged helplessly.
"Captain Wang, what do you mean? We have any power to investigate under the orders of the Central Committee. Don't you know? You are openly confronting the organization!" Luo Yumin said calmly.
"You can represent the organization? If the organization is like you, then what if I don't join this organization?" Wang Mingyu smiled.
"Oh? Commander Wang is saying that we are making trouble unreasonable? I'm asking, are you talking or not? We are investigating this matter now. I feel very regretful that you are so uncooperating with us!" Luo Yumin said helplessly, but she was full of curiosity in her heart. Where did these people go? Why didn't even dare to say it out?
A bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people tell me this is a military secret? Do you think I am an idiot or something? Luo Yumin thought disdainfully and kept staring at Wang Mingyu.
Wang Mingyu said: "I don't care what you want to investigate or what you want to do. I don't welcome you here! We will tell you what you can tell you. Since the Central Committee asks you to investigate, this is the result. You can report it to the Central Committee! I accept any decisions from the Central Committee, but what does it mean now? It's not your turn to take care of my army. What you are in charge of mutiny, not other things!"
Luo Yumin smiled and said, "Why, Commander Wang, why are you so excited? Are you guilty?"
Wang Mingyu said disdainfully: "You can make me feel guilty? Don't really take yourself too seriously. In my eyes, you are a passerby. Being able to give you face is already a good thing for you! Don't really treat yourself as someone. If you are in this attitude with me, you can do it yourself!"
Luo Yumin said: "Captain Wang is threatening me? Let me tell you, I am investigating now, I hope you can cooperate with me. What I want to know now is where these people are going and what are they doing?"
Wang Mingyu still said coldly: "I will tell you the last time, this matter involves our military secrets. I have no way to tell you. By the way, I would like to remind you that your time is limited. If no results are found in the investigation today, I will talk to the central government directly!"
