Chapter 271 Why Not
The scene was awkward for a moment. Comrade Quan Sheng looked at them with a smile and asked, "Why do you look so weird?"
Lin Feng remained silent. What he said just now was from the heart and there was nothing wrong with it. But it seemed a little inappropriate when Comrade Quan Sheng heard it.
Luo Jiu hurriedly explained: "We are happy, we got the news this morning and knew that there was something unusual happening with Lao Jiang.
Commander Lin and I were both very worried. He sent a telegram, but the base did not respond for a long time, so he came late at night to discuss countermeasures with us.
By the way, Commander Lin sent out a whole squad of liaison officers. Did you... meet them? What's the situation at the base?"
Comrade Quansheng calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "We met him. He has returned with us."
Feng Qi was stunned. "You? Who else?"
Comrade Quansheng said: "I have brought all the troops from the base here, including the newly recruited soldiers, a total of more than 30,000 people, and stationed them in Zhang County, 40 miles away."
Feng Qi was confused. "My mind is a little confused."
Comrade Quansheng asked the three to sit down and said carefully: "I know Lao Jiang. Before the battle of Peking started, I knew he was going to start making trouble.
The Japanese were defeated one after another and had become a soft persimmon. He must be thinking, after the battle in Northeast China, who will be his big trouble next? Isn't it us?
Since Beijing won so quickly, he would of course wonder, if the Northeast also won so quickly, what would they do with us next?
Our base is right next to him, and he has been coveting it for a long time.
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "So you predicted his actions and pulled the troops out of the base area, escaping in a trick."
Comrade Quan Sheng nodded and said, "In fact, from his point of view, from a strategic point of view, he is not wrong.
Use the Northeast battlefield to tie down most of our forces. While you are unable to take care of the rear, we will strike decisively and we will be sure of victory.
It would be better if you could use some tricks, be lazy, let our army be in the front, and consume most of our manpower. In this way, even if we fall out, you won't be able to do anything to him.
Humph, he wishes so much.
When people do things, they are most afraid of complicated thoughts. He wanted too much, so I let him end up with nothing.
I believe that his army is secretly mobilizing at this moment, hoping to attack our base while we are off guard.
Let them attack. I played him the Empty City Strategy. Let's see what he will do next."
Luo Jiu said: "In this way, we don't have to worry about anything. But when you led your troops through the friendly army's defense zone, didn't they ask about it?"
Comrade Quansheng said confidently: "I asked, I said to go to the war of resistance, to reinforce the Northeast battlefield, you don't want to go? They didn't say anything, just let me go silently."
Everyone laughed, and Luo Jiu said: "Since things have come to this point, I suggest talking to Lao Jiang. Even if it is just to delay some time, it will be very meaningful for us.
Qin Gang and other generals here have expressed their willingness to surrender. I think this will irritate Lao Jiang, but it will also be a reason for him to be cautious.
More than 200,000 people is not a small number. Does he really have the confidence to take us down? Can he really silence the people in the country?
The people in Beiping are all ours now, so it is not difficult to defend Beiping.
But if we want to attack the Northeast, we have to guard against Lao Jiang attacking from the rear. We still don’t have enough troops. I think we can win over some centrists. The Northeast is the Northeast of the whole country.
Countries fight for every inch of land.
I don’t believe that anyone with blood in their veins would watch us go to the front and fight a bloody battle while they stand by and watch coldly.”
Comrade Quansheng thought for a moment and said, "You can make the full decision on this matter. I believe that your political thinking is enough to deal with Lao Jiang for several days and buy some breathing time for our troops.
Remember, you can agree to any conditions, the most important thing is to hold him back."
He looked at Luo Jiu, as if he had something else to say, and then he looked at Lin Feng, "Commander Lin, go and transfer the troops from Zhang County to Beiping City."
Luo Jiu understood, "Commander Feng, go and take care of Wei Yuming."
The two of them went out, leaving only the two of them to talk alone.
Luo Jiu thought about it and decided to explain again, "What Commander Lin said just now was not what I meant. My purpose in coming here is not to fight for power, and I will not fight for absolute power from you."
Quan Sheng smiled, his eyes sharp, "Why not?
Commander Lin is right. For us, the most important thing is whether the revolution is victorious, not the victory of a certain individual.
For a country, what is important is not who holds absolute power, but whether that person can lead the country and the people toward prosperity.
Comrade Luo Jiu, we study history in order to avoid making the same mistakes.
I made a mistake once and I won't make it again.
Thanks to you, I know what will happen after my death.
I have read the historical materials and found that both famous people and ordinary people have praised me. They praised my achievements and criticized my mistakes..."
Luo Jiu hurriedly asked: "No one is perfect, so who can be without mistakes?"
Comrade Quansheng smiled and waved his hands, "But this position doesn't allow for mistakes.
I will devote all my energy to this land and its people until my death.
And when I can't make more contributions, I will choose someone better to take my place.
This person must have the wisdom to govern the world and the ability to command the three armies.
Comrade Luo Jiu, you are the most suitable candidate."
Luo Jiu was surprised for a moment, "But I am a young woman who has just joined the revolution. If you do this, you will be under great pressure, and someone will definitely jump out to oppose you.
It is much more difficult for you to hand over power to me than it was for me to hand over power to you last time."
Comrade Quan Sheng nodded and said, “Yes, there are difficulties, but the difficulties are not mine alone, they are ours.
When you sit in this position in the future, you will feel unprecedented pressure.
The more people oppose, the greater the pressure, and the more it proves necessary for us to do so.
These days, I have read many modern books you left behind, and I have been filled with emotion.
I live in difficult times, and I have always believed that the ideal state is for everyone to have enough food and clothing, for children to have education, for adults to go to classes, and for the elderly to be taken care of.
But when I saw it a hundred years later, I realized that this was far from enough.
The children have books to read, but what happens after ten years of hard study?
Adults have classes to attend, but those capitalists are more hateful than landlords.
What kind of capitalists make those young students become lifeless and make those hard-working workers call themselves beasts?
I finally led the people to be masters of their own house. Weren't the serfs singing songs of liberation? How did they become cattle and horses again?
Women hold up half the sky, but society's oppression of female comrades has never stopped.
Why can't they be admitted even though they have higher scores?
Why do they always run into obstacles when looking for jobs because of gender issues?
Why is it that even their freedom of marriage has to be constrained by their families and society?
Why are female comrades always passed over for promotion opportunities? This is not right.
Comrade Luo Jiu, women need a role model. Starting with you, you can influence generations to come.
Don't you want to start from now on and lead the whole society to make a great change that has not been changed for thousands of years?"
