"I agree with everyone. To be honest, our current situation is still relatively good. We have a lot of food reserves. It's already March, and a large batch of food will arrive in less than half a year. However, I'm not very confident. Although the old saying goes that we don't panic when we have food in hand, the situation now is different from before. Without enough guns and ammunition, what's the use of more food? In the end, it will still fall into the hands of the Japanese. Now, we have a chance to produce enough guns and ammunition. We only need to pay for food and workers. I don't think there's such a good deal in the world. If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll be irresponsible to the entire country.”
Director Guo's words were very blunt. After all, there had never been a precedent in the world where a country had provided large-scale industrial support to another country. After all, it was the industrial era now. No country would nurture a possible enemy in the future. Maybe it's because your family is poor, so I lent you a few catties of food. It doesn't matter, but no matter what, I can't lend you my gun.
"Since everyone agrees, then we've officially decided to send a report to the Northern Bureau as soon as possible and report the ins and outs of this matter to Director Gu.”
Since everyone's opinions were unified, Secretary Zhu did not say anything else.
"In addition, there are a few problems mentioned in Li Yan's report. Although Li Yan said that we can just take a look, I personally think that it is very meaningful. Although we can't make the decision on the first point, we can still discuss the other issues, such as the lack of civil servants, the staff system, and the defensive army.”
Secretary Zhu then picked up the report on the table. In his opinion, the problems mentioned in the report were all objective. Although Li Yan said that he didn't need to worry about it and that it was just a means to ask for money, Secretary Zhu still hoped to alleviate the current problem to a certain extent.
"If we lack civil servants, we have to seize them from the education aspect. After all, everyone knows what those scholars were like. Even those with some ability were assimilated by the old society and became parasites. Therefore, my personal suggestion is to continue to strengthen the literacy campaign in the base area. Whether it is military personnel or ordinary people, they must be taught to read and write. Children under the age of ten would have to resort to more measures to get them into primary schools.”
Governor Li had always been responsible for the mass literacy campaign. However, Governor Li didn't have any good ideas. After a period of education, most of the people in the relatively stable areas in the base area could basically recognize their own names. A small number of them could write their own names. However, the literacy campaign for women and children was still relatively backward. It was almost spring. It could be imagined that after the spring, the farm work would become increasingly busy. The literacy campaign would definitely stop for a long time. When the farm work was over, it would be October. By then, it would be a problem for the people who could already read and write to still be able to recognize a few words.
"Then combine literacy with farm work, and strengthen it by writing simple words on the walls along the road to the farmland. This is a long-term and important work that must not be stopped.”
Secretary Zhu didn't have a good solution. After all, the average age of the base was already around 30 years old. It was really difficult to get them to read under such circumstances. Moreover, because many people were concerned about their face, even if they couldn't read, they would say that they could read. In the end, they couldn't write at all, which had a great impact on the literacy campaign. However, there was no other way. The literacy campaign couldn't be stopped.
"Right, Commander Zhao, what do you think of the military issues in the report? You're a top student in the military academy.”
"Secretary Zhu, don't laugh at me. Who doesn't know that when it comes to academic history, you, Chief of Staff He, and Xu Chang have the highest academic qualifications in Shandong? Among the three, Xu Chang has the highest academic qualifications. He graduated from a foreign university's School of Geology, and Chief of Staff He has the lowest academic qualifications. He graduated from a domestic university. You graduated from a domestic university and then went to the Krasin Artillery School in Moscow to study. As for me, to put it bluntly, I was just a short-term crash course for officers. Don't tease me."
When he heard Secretary Zhu say that he was a top student in the military academy, Commander Zhao was a little anxious. After all, it was fine if others said this, but Secretary Zhu, who graduated from Guangzhou University and went to Moscow to study, did not seem to be saying anything good.
Speaking of which, the military school that he was studying at was founded by Mr. Jiang based on his previous experience in Japan's Zhenwu School. Zhenwu School was only a lower-level school that trained students for the Japanese Army Sergeant School. The Japanese Army Sergeant School had the Japanese Army University, so it could only be considered a third-level military school in Japan.
Although the Krasin Artillery School was considered the third level of the Soviet military school, it was above the Frunze Military Academy, the Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy, and the Voroshilov General Staff Military Academy.
Even with the pride of the Japanese, it was impossible for them to naively think that the Japanese Army University could compare to a school like the Voroshilov General Staff Military College. No matter how Secretary Zhu said Huangpu's top student,'it didn't sound right.
"It was before, but it might not be the case now.”Seeing that Commander Zhao still did not understand, Secretary Zhu continued to explain.
"Li Yan graduated from USC and later obtained a postgraduate degree. He also has a senior engineer license in the United States.”
"That's true. It seems that our Chief of Staff He is going to change from third to fourth place.”Chief of Staff He had talked about his school more than once in front of Commander Zhao. He talked about how hard it was for him to study at that time, and how the teaching building was very far from the dormitory. Other than Secretary Zhu, no one else was spared. Therefore, everyone present began to laugh. However, after laughing for a while, everyone returned to the main topic.
"I feel that offensive troops and the staff system are complementary. Without a good staff system, it is impossible to determine a suitable attack location or a clear target. Therefore, my personal suggestion is to speed up the construction of the staff system in our base. At present, when and where to start a battle, and what the established goal of the battle is, these requirements are all decided by our committee. In fact, there are indeed some unreasonable requirements. After all, among us, Secretary Zhu had to take a look at the overall situation. Governor Li was in charge of the government and intelligence work, Director Guo was in charge of the party building and logistics work, and although I was in charge of the Shandong Brigade, the reorganization process consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, I thought it was necessary to establish a preliminary staff officer system, but I had no idea how to carry out the specific work. After all, there was no concept of staff officers in the entire country. Although the Department of National Defense had the General Staff Office, it was called the General Staff Office to put it nicely. To put it bluntly, it should be called the Butt Wipe Office. If it was a good fight, it would be Mr. Jiang's command. If it was a bad fight, it would be the General Staff Office's fault. So our main problem now is that we want to build it, but we can't.”
In fact, the committee had long wanted to establish a staff officer system, but the problem was that no one had seen it before. No one had any idea what the staff officer should be responsible for or what the specific daily work was. They clearly knew that it should be established, but they didn't know how to do it. If they were to forcefully establish a General Staff Department without knowing anything, it would be no different from the General Staff Department of the Ministry of National Defense.
"Yes, the construction of the staff officer system is complicated. Although I studied in Krasin, I only learned the surface. In fact, some important courses are not open to you, not to mention the more important things in artillery. In fact, I wanted to enter the Voroshilov General Staff Military College at the beginning, but they didn't let you go at all.”
Secretary Zhu was still a little resentful about this. After all, he had indeed been treated differently when he went to study. Although he had expected it before he went, it was impossible for him not to have some thoughts when he really faced this situation.
"How about this, I remember that Commander Qi of the 109th Division in Taihang Mountain had studied at the Frunze Academy before. We can ask him in detail in the future, but we can't just count on Commander Qi. Let's write down some things that we need to consider before starting a battle.”Governor Li suggested.
"Right. In the future, each of us should prepare a notebook and record the reason why we want to start a battle and why we want to start a battle at this time and place. After that, we will hold a meeting after each battle to exchange our opinions and explore bit by bit. Three stooges can even beat one Zhuge Liang, not to mention the four of us.”
Secretary Zhu also agreed with Governor Li's opinion. After all, no one would teach you the art of slaying a dragon step by step. You still had to explore and learn it yourself.
"In that case, we'll hand the originals of these two reports over to the Residence in China, but we'll also copy them down and make a record.”Seeing that no one had any objections, Secretary Zhu began to copy the report.
While the few of them were discussing, Li Yan had already tidied up Bei Lu and brought Xu Chang out of Green Camel Temple.
