Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Even if we add up all the food, clothes and other things our Party members and cadres receive, it still doesn't compare to other people's salaries.

Wei Hongjun frowned.

The implementation of the supply system for the troops and party members and cadres was a measure adopted by the Party when it was short of funds.

But now it has become a big problem.

The allowances for Party cadres are too low. As Du Liqing said, the allowances for cadres who take over police stations, including those who become Public Security Bureau chiefs, are even lower than those of ordinary old police officers.

In other words, the supply system and the salary system are now running in parallel in the liberated areas.

However, the supply system is obviously not as good as the salary system.

Under such circumstances, many party members and cadres are angry.

They risked their lives for the revolution, but in the end, they were treated worse than those who did not revolutionize. This was another reason why so many people were corrupt in the early days of liberation, besides the fact that they were beginning to gain power.

There is no clear salary system, it is all supply-based.

It caused a huge gap.

This is indeed a major problem. Historically, the eight-grade wage system was first implemented in Northeast China in 1950, also modeled after the Soviet Union. It was then gradually extended nationwide, and the complete reform of the wage system wasn't completed until 1955 and 1956. Unexpectedly, the North China Bureau is now the first to encounter this problem.

Wei Hongjun didn't say anything.

The same is true for Du Liqing and Sun Yi.

The office was very quiet for a while.

After a while, Wei Hongjun said, "There's nothing we can do about this at this stage. We're all operating on a supply system right now, and it's not easy to change that overnight. It might take some time. Let's hold a meeting and highlight this matter. We absolutely can't let these things affect our work. The Central Committee and the North China Bureau will consider all of this and resolve it."

After seeing Du Liqing and Sun Yi off, Wei Hongjun thought carefully for a long time. This matter was not a small matter, and it was not something Wei Hongjun could solve alone.

At this time, Nie Shuai called Wei Hongjun and asked him to come over. So Wei Hongjun immediately took a car to Fangshan.

Marshal Nie’s command center is currently located in Fangshan.

"Red Army, job well done."

When Marshal Nie saw Wei Hongjun coming, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

He came all the way to Wei Hongjun.

Very happy.

The North China Field Army single-handedly defeated the surrounding enemies and even captured Peking and Tianjin. Not long ago, Marshal Xu captured Taiyuan in Shanxi, which means that the North China Field Army had already captured North China.

How could Marshal Nie not be happy?

"Commander."

"Hurry up and drink some water. Is everything going on in Peking?"

"No. Overall it's pretty stable."

"That's good. It's not the first or second time you've taken over a city. By the way, come and take a look. This is the document issued by the Military Commission."

Marshal Nie handed the document in his hand to Wei Hongjun.

It is the latest order from the Military Commission.

The Military Commission had previously issued orders to all liberated areas to reorganize their entire armies. After the outbreak of the Liberation War, each liberated area fought independently, and each local central bureau and military region reorganized its troops according to its own situation.

The numbers are also based on my own ideas.

But as the victory of the revolution draws ever closer, the Military Commission cannot allow this situation to continue. Just like the current North China Bureau, where a single military region has eight corps, how can that be allowed?

The Northwest Field Army had just been incorporated into the Shanxi-Suiyuan Corps, and had less than 20 people.

If they really wanted to form a corps, how many corps could they form? Even if they were given more units, the maximum they could form would be three corps.

This is a complete mismatch.

Therefore, the Military Commission must be readjusted.

However, just a few days after the reorganization document was issued, the Military Commission issued a new reorganization document. Compared with the previous one that only required the various liberated areas to make preparations, this time it was very detailed.

The Military Commission directly decided to establish five major field armies.

The Northwest Field Army was reorganized into the First Field Army, the Central Plains Field Army was reorganized into the Second Field Army, the East China Field Army was reorganized into the Third Field Army, the Northeast Field Army was reorganized into the Fourth Field Army, and the North China Field Army was reorganized into the Fifth Field Army.

In addition, the Military Commission also issued special orders for the Fifth Field Army.

The Fifth Field Army immediately began to reorganize its forces, and within a month the troops had to move south to cooperate with the Second Field Army and the Third Field Army in combat.

Marshal Nie said, "The Military Commission has ordered that the Third and Fourth Corps be transferred to the First Field Army.

Wei Hongjun nodded.

Wei Hongjun was not surprised by this. The Central Committee would never allow the North China Military Region to have so many troops. The Military Commission would inevitably make adjustments during the reorganization of the entire army, so that the strength of each field army would be similar.

The First Field Army is currently the weakest.

Now, the only army that has the opportunity to support the First Field Army is the North China Field Army. The best way is to directly transfer the Third and Fourth Corps to the First Field Army. Marshal Nie looked at Wei Hongjun, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Hongjun, what do you think if I let you gradually withdraw from military affairs and focus more on local work?

Wei Hongjun's expression immediately became serious.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wei Hongjun's intention was to continue fighting in the army until the end of the Korean War. However, after the North China Bureau was established ahead of schedule, Wei Hongjun became overwhelmed with work. After taking charge of the day-to-day operations of the North China Military Region and the North China Field Army, Wei Hongjun effectively left the front lines of the army. Even during his time as Secretary of the General Front Committee of the Pingjin Campaign, he had little involvement in directing the battles.

Wei Hongjun once thought whether he could also lead thousands of troops to gallop across the battlefield like Marshal Lin and Marshal Liu.

But step by step, they were getting further and further away from the battlefield.

I've been in the army since arriving in this time and space. I couldn't feel this kind of emotion in my previous life. After ten years in the army, I've truly developed a deep connection with it. But now is a crucial time to organize a field army. Marshal Nie's words at such a crucial moment were definitely not casual. Wei Hongjun understood that Marshal Nie was trying to gradually transition him from a military cadre to a local cadre.

Although he was reluctant, Wei Hongjun still said: "Commander, I will obey the organization's arrangements.

"Ah."

Marshal Nie said, "You are now the First Deputy Secretary of the North China Bureau and Vice Chairman of the newly established North China People's Government. You have a lot of work to do, and you need to devote yourself to local development. So my suggestion is that you continue to serve as Deputy Commander and Deputy Political Commissar of the North China Military Region, but you will not serve in the soon-to-be-established Fifth Field Army."

Marshal Nie was very happy.

When establishing the Fifth Field Army this time, Marshal Nie also had to consider all aspects.

Originally, Wei Hongjun, the Secretary of the General Front Committee for the Peiping-Tianjin Campaign, could have transitioned to leadership of the Fifth Field Army. However, the Central Committee mandated that the Fifth Field Army complete its reorganization within a month and then move south to participate in the decisive battle north of the Yangtze River. Therefore, if Wei Hongjun assumed command of the Fifth Field Army, he would have been required to follow the troops south. With the Central Committee now moving to Peking, the North China Bureau was becoming increasingly important. Marshal Nie hoped that when he joined the Central Committee, Wei Hongjun would be the successor to the North China Bureau.

Marshal Nie always felt a little sorry for Wei Hongjun, such an outstanding general, not participating in the decisive battle north of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, Wei Hongjun was sensible and did not make things difficult for Marshal Nie.

"Yes."

Some regrets.

But Wei Hongjun could also accept this result.

With Wei Hongjun's agreement, Marshal Nie was in high spirits and said, "Then let's quickly convene an enlarged meeting of the Field Army Front Committee to finalize the Fifth Field Army's affairs."

Chapter 719 Something happened

The Fifth Field Army is to be established.

Marshal Nie had been busy with this matter since the Military Commission's order came down. The Central Committee had already considered and decided on the leadership structure of the Fifth Field Army. Of course, the Central Committee wouldn't act arbitrarily on such a crucial matter as the formation of several field armies, and it wouldn't arbitrarily assign cadres.

The Central Committee also needed to consult with frontline cadres and listen to their opinions. Therefore, during this period, while the Central Committee was moving away from Yan'an, it continued to discuss matters with various local central bureaus and military regions.

See how to reorganize the various field army units.

The situation of the Fifth Field Army was more complicated than that of other field armies.

This was not because the Fifth Field Army had too many mountainous areas, but because after the Fifth Field Army was established, it had to move south to fight. However, as North China was the next political center of the Communist Party of China, most of the cadres of the former North China Bureau had to stay in North China.

Therefore, it was impossible for many cadres to serve in the Fifth Field Army.

Judging from the Battle of Peiping-Tianjin, Wei Hongjun was the top leader of the Front Committee. However, Marshal Nie wanted to keep Wei Hongjun. After several discussions with Marshal Nie, the Central Committee agreed to his idea. Marshal Nie hoped to keep Wei Hongjun so that he could focus more on the work of the North China Bureau and the North China People's Government. The Central Committee was also beginning to consider post-war issues. As the saying goes, after more than 20 years of fighting, the CCP had no shortage of generals. Now, what the CCP needed most was construction cadres. Therefore, it was agreed that Wei Hongjun would not be assigned to the Fifth Field Army.

In the current situation, apart from Wei Hongjun, Yang Quanwu is the undisputed commander of the Fifth Field Army.

After the Third and Fourth Corps of the North China Field Army were transferred to the First Field Army, the remaining units, going back to the Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Regiment, all had some connection to the former Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Regiment. Even the 13th and 14th Columns of the Jidong Army, which were largely independent of the North China Field Army, had many officers who were from the Independent Regiment.

Therefore, it is really justified for Yang Quanwu to be in charge of the Fifth Field Army.

However, the Central Committee had no intention of letting Yang Quanwu directly serve as the commander and political commissar of the Fifth Field Army. Therefore, the Central Committee ultimately chose to appoint Marshal Nie as the commander and political commissar of the Fifth Field Army, and Yang Quanwu as the deputy commander and deputy political commissar of the Fifth Field Army. Because Marshal Nie was the first secretary of the North China Bureau and the commander and political commissar of the North China Military Region, he would not accompany the field army southward. Therefore, Yang Quanwu served as the acting commander and political commissar of the Fifth Field Army, commanding the Fifth Field Army troops.

Yang Quanwu became the de facto leader of the Fifth Field Army.

Luo Qirong served as deputy political commissar of the Fifth Field Army, Wang Zhi served as director of the political department of the Fifth Field Army, and Geng Biao served as chief of staff of the Fifth Field Army.

The Fifth Field Army's leadership structure had been finalized, but that didn't mean its reorganization was complete. The Central Committee allocated the Fifth Field Army five corps, numbered from the 18th to the 22nd. Of course, the North China Military Region had more troops, so after the Fifth Field Army was formed, the Central Committee retained two corps.

After the Fifth Field Army was established, it separated from the North China Military Region.

It is no longer a unit under the jurisdiction of the North China Military Region.

Therefore, two corps organizations were left to the North China Military Region, namely the 23rd Corps and the 24th Corps.

However, which corps would become part of the Fifth Field Army and which would remain in the North China Military Region was a matter for the North China Military Region and the North China Field Army to consider. Marshal Nie had been communicating frequently with the military region and field army cadres for this very reason.

For the current North China Field Army, who stays, who leaves, and what unit designations are assigned to each unit are all related to the interests of each unit. Marshal Nie also needs to weigh these considerations. Once a draft is in place, an expanded meeting of the military region and field army will be held to finalize the matter.

Wei Hongjun also frequently attended these meetings.

Although Marshal Nie had urged Wei Hongjun to gradually withdraw from military affairs, it was impossible for him to completely withdraw from the military under the current circumstances. Once the Fifth Field Army was established and the Third and Fourth Corps were transferred to the First Field Army, Wei Hongjun would become the First Deputy Commander and First Deputy Political Commissar of the North China Military Region. The remaining two corps would then be subordinate to the North China Military Region. As the future head of the North China Military Region, Wei Hongjun would naturally be involved.

Of course, Wei Hongjun is still the director of the Peking Military Control Commission, and the work in Peking is also a top priority. But at this time, Wei Hongjun encountered a very difficult problem.

Wei Hongjun looked at Du Liqing and Sun Yi, and said with a grim expression: "Is this matter absolutely certain? It's not groundless?"

"It's true."

Sun Yi nodded.

"The news has spread all over the school. I was worried that some people were just making up stories and deliberately spreading rumors that would harm us. So I secretly sent someone to investigate, and they found that it was indeed true."

Wei Hongjun's face immediately turned ugly.

Wei Hongjun believed Sun Yi's words. After all, the other man was a favorite of Marshal Nie and Yang Quanwu, a renowned general with distinguished military achievements in the North China Army. Even Wei Hongjun, having reached his current position, would normally give him some leeway, let alone Sun Yi.

He wouldn't dare say such a thing without solid evidence.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Wei Hongjun couldn't help but swear.

At such a crucial moment, something like this happened. Wei Hongjun didn't know what to say. This not only brought disaster upon himself, but also tarnished the reputation of Marshal Nie, Yang Quanwu, and the North China Bureau.

This is completely self-destructive.

Women's issues are really difficult to avoid.
