Chapter 283 The Last Meeting Before Barbarossa
The Eighth Route Army has always emphasized equality for all, and all major events need to be decided by everyone's vote.
Even though everyone has expressed a strong interest in Huang He's proposal, the name of the university still needs to be decided based on the final voting results.
After hearing the words of the deputy chief of staff, all the participants in the meeting stopped discussing and quieted down. They focused their attention on the two people in front of the podium, ready to cast their own votes at any time.
"Comrades who agree to use Heshan University as the name of the school, please raise your hands!"
After speaking, the division commander was the first to express his opinion, followed by the infantry expert, the brigade commander and Li Yunlong. The commanders above the brigade level of the entire 129th Division became Huang He's strong backing.
After just a few seconds, only one person in the Meishan meeting room chose to abstain because of difficulty in making a decision, and the rest all agreed to the proposal to name it Heshan University.
Seeing this, the deputy chief of staff smiled and patted Huang He on the shoulder, and then said to the comrades in the audience:
"It seems that everyone's ideas are very consistent, which can save us the effort of a vote."
"I declare! Comrade Huang He's proposal won with 34 votes in favor, 0 votes against, and 2 abstentions. After the meeting, I will personally send a telegram to the border area to summarize the results of the first phase of this meeting."
"In the next period of time, we need to decide on the candidate for the first president. There are only two candidates on the list at present. If there are no other recommendations, let's start voting directly."
If the university to be established is just a pure medical school, then the people present may also recommend some respected attending physicians or professors.
After all, there are many comrades in the headquarters hospital with similar experiences to Dean Liu. They have been silently contributing to the Eighth Route Army for many years and are definitely the best candidates for the position of president.
Kheshan University, just looking at the name, you can tell that it is a comprehensive university.
Although there is only a medical department at this stage, it will definitely open a variety of disciplines after the subsequent faculty is in place, and become a top university in the four provinces of Shanhe.
Considering the above situation, the comrade who will serve as the principal must be old enough and able to control the situation.
After waiting for five minutes, the people in the Meishan conference room still failed to nominate the third candidate. Considering the time problem, the deputy chief of staff had to continue to preside over the election.
"Huanghe, I want to ask you one thing before the voting begins."
"As far as I know, you have very little contact with Lao Xu, and the total number of meetings should not exceed five times. As for my junior, you two have not even met."
"I want to know, what is the reason for you to recommend them?"
The above two are all carefully selected by Huanghe.
The qualifications of the infantry expert are naturally no problem. Whether in terms of combat record or personal ability, he can definitely be at the forefront of the first echelon in the entire Meishan conference room.
The most rare thing is that his father was originally a teacher, and even he himself graduated from Shanxi National Normal School before joining the army.
If it weren't for offending Yan Laoxi's relatives during work, he would not even go to Guangzhou with his classmates to try his luck at the Huangpu Military Academy.
Maybe in a certain timeline, he is still a good teacher who has educated countless people.
Moreover, the master of infantry can always teach students in accordance with their aptitude. When the organization sent him to Guangzhou to lead the workers' movement, most of the comrades there had never even touched a gun.
In just a few months, the workers had undergone earth-shaking changes. They formed a force with strong combat effectiveness and strong discipline, and once took over the entire city.
After the operation in Guangzhou failed, the superiors sent him to Hubei, Henan and Anhui as a deputy division commander.
Although the local troops claimed to have a division of troops, they only had about 300 people at most.
The weapons were only broadswords and spears, and a rifle with smooth rifling was a rare thing. It can be said that everything has returned to the starting point.
Coupled with the fierce local folk customs, it is difficult for ordinary commanders to even gain a foothold.
But in just less than three years, the troops commanded by infantry experts have become the powerful Fourth Front Army.
He developed a 300-man grass-roots team into a main force with 40,000 soldiers, and also trained many commanders like the iron triangle.
This ability to teach students in accordance with their aptitude is really suitable for being the president of a university.
There is another very important reason why Huang He recommended the infantry expert. Just now, when he was testing, he specially asked Dean Liu for the other party's physical examination report.
Years of fighting have left many hidden injuries to the deputy division commander's body. If he does not take care of himself, the overall health will only get worse and worse.
At present, in addition to infrastructure construction in Shanxi, the troops are also actively preparing for the attack on Suiyuan area.
The troops stationed in Mongolia have long become frightened and apply for reinforcements from the China Expeditionary Army Headquarters almost every week. Hata Shunroku now only has Suiyuan in his eyes, and he is definitely not in the mood to make trouble in Shandong.
This means that the next six months will be a good time for the infantry expert to rest. Let him be the president of Heshan University, which is definitely a good reason.
If it weren't for the heavy workload of the 129th Division, Huang He even wanted to give priority to pushing the division commander to the position of president.
The reason for recommending 103 is very simple, because his experience is very similar to that of the infantry expert, and they both served as elementary school teachers in their early years.
Although compared with the infantry expert, he is a little inferior in terms of qualifications and combat records.
But the other party also has a unique advantage, that is, he served as the director of the training department and the director of education of the Anti-Japanese University five years ago, and has rich experience in running schools.
If the infantry expert refuses to serve as principal, then 103 would be a good choice as a substitute.
Facing the deputy general staff's question, Huang He smiled at the deputy division commander in the audience, and then spoke out the words he had prepared long ago.
"Heshan University is the first school established by our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi to recruit students from all over the province. I personally think that it is best for the first president to be a local."
"This will not only give the people a greater sense of belonging, but also eliminate the residual influence of Yan Laoxi in the hidden potential. What's more, education for normal graduates is a matter of professional counterpart."
"As for your junior, his personal abilities are obvious to all, and he is definitely a good candidate."
Huang He's explanation made everyone present nod. It was obvious that everyone agreed with his statement.
The brigade commander even hit the infantry expert lightly with his elbow, his eyes full of fun and teasing. They are both graduates of the first phase of Huangpu, and their personal relationship is also very good.
However, the performance of the two in school can be described as two extremes, one is extremely social and the other is extremely fearful.
The brigade commander's favorite thing back then was to hold a bench and press the holy iron wall to the ground to hit him, while the infantry expert liked to watch the show silently in the corner.
Today we finally managed to find a chance to start a group tour, so we naturally wanted to release our natural instincts.
"Old Xu, look at what Huang He said. Of course you Shanxi people have to take charge of your own university."
"If Heshan University establishes a military department in the future, you will definitely be able to train a large number of commanders as the principal. When your disciples and disciples attack the Hu, Chen, He, and Du departments on the battlefield, won't you destroy the Southwest? The old man next to me is so angry."
"Quick, quick, quick, I want to vote for you. The old man looked down on you back then, but now is the chance to feel proud!"
The old comrade's ridicule made the infantry expert reveal an intriguing smile.
Although he usually doesn't like to be in the limelight, he has always been known for being low-key and humble. But the proposal just now really moved his heart. After all, who can resist the angry look of a bald head?
Thinking of this, the infantry expert looked at his disciple who was eavesdropping.
"Li Yunlong, if I really become the president of Heshan University, then you must come to class when you have no work!"
"You heard what your brigade commander just said, I will set a target for you now. If we are going to have a war with a certain army in the future, you must choose one of Hu, Chen, He, and Du as the target. "
"You are my favorite student, and you will become the leader of our faction in the future!"
"yes!"
While talking and laughing, the infantry expert set a goal for Li Yunlong that he had never thought of before.
After all, in the original work, Lao Li's opponent who is both friend and foe is Xiliang general Chu Yunfei. It would be better now to just jump two levels to find his commander's commander.
During the conversation between the three, the deputy general staff officer started a new round of voting.
Compared with the previous round, the process of this round is relatively more turbulent. Twenty-seven of the votes were for the infantry specialist, and the remaining nine votes were for 103.
After successfully handling all the work, the deputy general staff officer took the documents handed over by the recorder on the side. After confirming that the content was correct, he said to everyone attending the meeting:
"Comrades! I officially announce! Heshan University, which belongs to the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, will be officially established starting today!"
······
Time always passes quickly in busy life. When the Eighth Route Army troops at all levels are working hard to build Shanxi, Desan, who is far away in the European continent, is planning a big operation.
In a certain gorgeous official residence, the personal doctor Morel carried a medical box and walked into the office in front of him with familiarity.
Since the boss's gastrointestinal problems were cured with vitamins and probiotics a few years ago, the boss has regarded him as a second heart. Basically, he will come to him for a few lollipops no matter what.
If Mustache also has a system panel, he will find that he has a lollipop abuser in his personality, and is even gradually transforming into a lollipop addict.
After seeing his personal doctor appear, he forced an ugly smile looking slightly tired.
"Dear Morel, you are here at last. I am very unwell today, and I am not very energetic. Do you think we should have some jelly or some candy?"
"If you can, please help me stay calm for at least six hours. Senior officials from various departments in the empire will come to the office to discuss the eastward war with me."
Although his boss trusts him very much, Morel is very capable as a superficial quack. He never accepts any words that are not related to his profession.
"Führer, today's portion is enough to keep you full of energy all day long."
"I'm going back first. I wish you all the best in your plans and meetings. Victory will always belong to us!"
After a while, Poison King Morel exited the office. In the process of leaving, he also met a group of big guys from Desan, but as always, they all looked down upon him.
After everyone arrived, the last high-level meeting before Operation Barbarossa officially began.
"Führer, although signing a treaty of friendship and non-aggression with Mao Xiong is disgusting, we have actually received benefits."
"Now there is a steady stream of strategic resources flowing into the country every day, and even our territory has increased several times. Do you think the plan to move eastward needs to be reconsidered?"
"Perhaps, we can try to put aside the differences in ideology and instead emphasize our commonalities, such as the hatred of the selfishness of liberalism and the corruption of Western countries."
"If the two sides can become true allies, then the integrated resources and military forces will be invincible, and any country that resists us will be trampled underfoot."
After hearing what Bauman said, everyone present showed a surprised expression.
The Barbarossa Plan has been formulated for ten months, and it is simply a fantasy to propose the Mober Axis at this time.
The mustache stared at his personal secretary, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.
"I'll give you a chance. If you don't give a good reason, you will definitely be in trouble today."
"Don't tell me you only see the money. As long as we can kill the big beard, all strategic materials will be in our pockets."
Maybe it was because he had just eaten a lollipop, and the mustache was in a crazy state.
Even though he still had a gentle smile on his face, his blue eyes were full of ferocity. It was as if he could unlock a seal in his body at any time, revealing his hidden true self.
Bauman wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath and slowly expressed his views.
"Our current allies are useless except for dragging us down. Mo Guangtou only speaks harshly, and he can't even handle a small Greece. Sooner or later, there will be problems in Italy."
"The dwarfs in Asia have been defeated frequently, and they have not been able to flatten a Republic of China for four years. And the other side is very ambitious. I am afraid that they will drag the ugly country into the war."
"Instead of being dragged into the water by the current allies, it is better to kick them away and choose a stronger ally again."
In fact, Bauman's strategic vision is very good. He almost predicted everything that would happen in five years.
But De San's situation at this time is similar to Benzi's. All the materials needed to start a war are in the hands of others. With the character of the mustache, it is impossible for him to let his allies hold his life and property.
"I understand, but I will not change my plan to move east."
"I always believe in one thing, as long as the Empire's attack is fast enough, as long as the soldiers can finish the battle before winter. Then! The advantage is mine!"
Good hell time
