Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Yang Quanwu sighed.

There seems to be no way to salvage this matter.

Yang Quanwu had originally wanted to fight for Huang Fa. With Huang Fa's abilities, if he were allowed to stay in the army and continue leading the troops, he would surely achieve military merit and redeem himself for his crimes. But it was clear that Marshal Nie would not give him this opportunity.

Marshal Nie said, "The military district will first make the punishment decision, and then the North China Bureau will officially issue the punishment document. Regarding Huang Fa's matter, you should go and discuss it with him in person."

Let him teach at the military academy honestly. If he dares to cause trouble, expulsion from the Party and the military is not out of the question. Also, matters at home and with the female student must be dealt with immediately. No matter what option we choose, we must make a decision. We are Party members, so don't dream of having women everywhere. He's so proud of himself for getting promoted and becoming Chen Shimei.

"Yes."

"Commander of the First Corps, what do you think?"

Although Wei Hongjun never interrupted, he supported Marshal Nie.

Yellow hair should be dealt with.

And it requires heavy processing.

We must let the citizens and students of Peking see the discipline of the People's Liberation Army. We must also serve as a warning to those old Party members and cadres who think they are founding heroes and are already beginning to stir up trouble.

Let them see the determination of the North China Bureau.

Even a corps commander like Huang Fa was treated in this way, so the others had to think about whether their qualifications, ranks, and military achievements could compare with Huang Fa's.

But Wei Hongjun didn't interrupt.

This is because Huang Fa and Wei Hongjun are also close. Yang Quanwu is Wei Hongjun's old leader, and Huang Fa is also Wei Hongjun's old leader. When dealing with Huang Fa's affairs, since Nie Shuai intervened, Wei Hongjun would not express too much opinion.

However, both Nie Shuai and Wei Hongjun supported the handling of Huang Fa, but they both dealt with the matter at hand.

He would not interfere in the affairs of the First Corps just because of Huang Fa's incident. After Huang Fa left the army, the commander of the First Corps still had to look to Yang Quanwu for his opinion. Although Luo Qirong also attended the meeting, he basically did not speak.

In the North China Military Region, Marshal Nie, Yang Quanwu and Wei Hongjun are representative figures of the party, government and military, and form the iron triangle of the party, government and military.

No matter how the adjustments are made, they are internal adjustments.

Yang Quanwu thought for a moment and said, "I propose that the Corps' Deputy Commander Qiu Wei take over the post of Commander.

Qiu Wei is also Yang Quanwu's favorite player.

He has served successively as the commander of the Third Regiment of the First Division of Yang Quanwu, the commander of the First Regiment of the Main Force, then the commander of the Brigade, the Commander of the Column, and now the Deputy Commander of the First Corps. Compared with the historical rank of full general in 52, Qiu Wei is now a deputy corps-level general.

The generals under Yang Quanwu, regardless of their relationship with Yang Quanwu, all had bad tempers.

Huang Fa goes without saying. Second Corps Commander Chen Kaikun and Yang Quanwu were known for their heated exchanges. They even parted ways at one point, only to reunite. Many current column commanders and political commissars also have tempers.

There are many people who curse at each other with Yang Quanwu.

Qiu Wei, however, had a very good temper. Although a fierce general on the battlefield, he was usually quiet. When conflicts arose with colleagues, he would always choose to give in. Unless he couldn't help himself, he usually worked more like a political officer than a military officer.

Yang Quanwu himself has a bad temper, but he likes cadres like Qiu Wei very much.

This time, Yang Quanwu chose Qiu Wei to replace Huang Fa.

Marshal Nie nodded.

Qiu Wei was also a general that Marshal Nie was very familiar with. During the Hundred Regiments Campaign, he fought several tough battles with Yang Quanwu.

Of course, this was mainly because Marshal Nie did not want to interfere with the First Corps' arrangements. This was a unit that Yang Quanwu had single-handedly led. Now that the Fifth Field Army was about to be formed, the best scenario for the unit was to not be disrupted.

Head south quickly.

Marshal Nie said, "The formation of the Fifth Field Army should not be delayed any further. Tomorrow we will hold an enlarged meeting of the military region to formally establish the Fifth Field Army and determine the unit designations."

Chapter 721: Disciplinary Issues of Party Members and Cadres

This was an expanded meeting of the military district. All district cadres, as well as those from the various corps and deputy corps units, were required to attend. Marshal Nie realized that his attempt to accommodate every aspect had left these units idle, leading to issues like the yellow hair. Only by quickly finalizing the unit designations and clarifying their responsibilities could the current chaotic situation be resolved.

After Marshal Nie made the decision, Yang Quanwu and Luo Qirong returned to begin preparations, as they were both leaders of the Fifth Field Army.

Wei Hongjun stayed with Marshal Nie.

What happened with Huangfa is too bad.

Since the troops began entering major cities, there have been numerous instances of problematic Party members and cadres. However, this is the first time a cadre of Huang Fa's rank has been involved. Huang Fa's rank is incredibly high. If he had remained in the military, he would have been a candidate for general. If he had been transferred to a local civilian position, he would have been a provincial Party Secretary or governor. He is a truly high-ranking cadre of the Party and the military. When such an officer makes a mistake, how to handle it and how to mitigate the consequences are a major issue.

Wei Hongjun must consider these issues given his current rank and position.

In addition to Huang Fa's matter, Wei Hongjun also told Marshal Nie about what happened after entering Peiping, especially the current supply system and salary system.

Marshal Nie frowned.

This is indeed not a small matter.

Don’t worry about having too few and too little.

This is human nature.

Many Party members and cadres participated in the revolution for many years, yet their current treatment is still inferior to that of those who did not. Even cadres of Marshal Nie's rank did not receive very high salaries under the supply system. Many of the former government officials in Peking received significantly higher salaries than Marshal Nie. Under the supply system, these Party members and cadres had no worries about food and clothing, and even received housing allocations.

But the money I got was indeed too little.

Everyone felt a little unwilling.

We fought for the revolution with our lives on the line, and now that the revolution has triumphed, the money we receive is less than what ordinary workers in the old government received.

Of course, they feel very unbalanced.

The new "founding heroes" of the new dynasty are treated so poorly?

If this problem is not handled properly, it can easily lead to conflicts.

If conflicts accumulate for too long, they will explode.

Marshal Nie thought for a moment and said, "There's no way to solve this problem in the short term. Our revolution hasn't yet been victorious, and we're still at war. We need a national strategy. Right now, our Party members, cadres, and troops are all operating under a supply system, so the contradictions are external. But once certain areas take the lead in changing the supply system, the contradictions will become internal."

How to change the supply system?

Under the current circumstances, we must not move forward blindly.

Right now, everyone is outward-facing, and their dissatisfaction is directed at others. However, if certain institutions or local bureaus take the lead in reform, everyone's dissatisfaction will be directed at these departments that make the first changes.

It's always better to be open to the outside world than to be open to the inside world.

"Commander, now that we've taken over Peking, most of our staff have been forced to stay out as little as possible for safety reasons. They don't see much of a problem at this point. But once the current Peking Military Control Commission ends and the families of Party members and cadres enter Peking, they'll immediately feel the difference. So this issue needs to be put on the agenda."

"Ah."

Marshal Nie nodded.

"Do you have any ideas about this?"

"First, we need to determine the rank. Party members and cadres in both the military and local areas are assigned ranks, and their salaries are determined based on their ranks.

"Makes sense."

Marshal Nie wrote it down and then said, "I will leave this issue to you and Comrade Zhao Zhensheng to formulate a plan. Submit it to the Central Committee when they arrive in North China."

"Yes."

"Commander, as we draw ever closer to victory in the revolution, the power in the hands of our Party members and cadres is growing. I recently conducted a brief investigation and found that in just a few days, many people have begun to taste the sweetness of power. I believe that we must be well-prepared to prevent the corruption of our Party members and cadres from happening.

“This problem is happening everywhere.”

To govern a country, one must first govern the officials.

This has been the case in all dynasties.

North China performed well during the Liberation War, leading to relative stability in many liberated areas. Consequently, numerous problems arose. Although they were addressed one by one, they became increasingly serious.

This becomes more true as the victory of the revolution draws near.

Even before the whole country was conquered, many people began to regard themselves as founding heroes.

This problem also gave Coach Nie a headache.

Wei Hongjun said, "Commander, I think we should establish stricter systems to prevent these problems from happening. We should also establish severe punishments to serve as a warning to them."

"What are your ideas? Tell me in detail."

"Commander, let me first discuss the penalties. We should have detailed regulations regarding how public funds are used for food and drink, and how public property is handled if it's used as personal property. I've encountered this situation before."

When we were in Zhangjiakou, some Party members and cadres took government bicycles home and treated them as their own.”

If you were a person in the 21st century, you might think this is a big deal. It's just bringing a company bicycle home, what's the problem?

But this problem was very serious in the early days of liberation.

Because in this era, bicycles are large items and important assets of public institutions. If you take them for yourself, it is a serious act of corruption.

"These issues may not seem that serious, but they do need to be dealt with. If warnings are necessary, they should be given; if demotions are necessary, they should be given."

Marshal Nie agreed with Wei Hongjun's opinion.

Some veteran Party members and cadres may feel that they fought tirelessly for the revolution and didn't actually commit corruption. They find it completely incomprehensible that they were charged with a crime simply for riding a public bicycle a few times.

But many things need to be nipped in the bud.

You can occupy a public bicycle today, a public car tomorrow, and embezzlement and bribery the day after tomorrow.

"Commander, I think there should be clear standards in this regard. If there aren't clear standards, two situations will arise. First, some cadres will exploit these incidents to expand the crackdown and add more charges. A small incident will result in a very severe punishment. Second, some Party members and cadres will think that what they did was not wrong, so why should they be punished? They believe that the organization is retaliating against them. This is unacceptable and can easily cause conflicts between superiors and subordinates, and between colleagues. The best way is to provide the clearest possible penalties for these behaviors, so that everyone knows the punishment for their actions."

"Ok.

Marshal Nie wrote down this suggestion in his notebook.

Nie Shuai is dealing with too many things now, so he has to write down some issues all the time. Otherwise, many things will be easily confused.

Marshal Nie suddenly said seriously, "Hongjun, what should we do if our old comrades, who we know well, really make a mistake in this area, and the amount involved is not small?"

"Commander, how did we handle it in the Soviet area?"

Marshal Nie was silent.

During the Soviet period, the punishment for corrupt officials was quite severe.

Many people were executed.

Marshal Nie understood what Wei Hongjun meant.

Marshal Nie had to consider this. It had been ten years since he began developing the Jin-Cha Wing at the end of 1937. During that time, many of Marshal Nie's favorite generals had emerged from the Jin-Cha Wing.

There are also a lot of cadres who have good personal relationships.

But Marshal Nie knew that with the establishment of the new China, there would definitely be cadres with such problems among these people. Just like Huang Fa, who knew there would be problems with women.

What to do with them?
