Yang Zhen pulled out a report from the thick pile of reports piled on the table and handed it to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun: "This is the report jointly reported by the Security Department and the Intelligence Department of the Military Region yesterday about the cracking of the lurking enemy and puppet radio station in Jiamusi.
The report, as well as the interrogation records. Judging from the interrogation results, the situation is very shocking."
"There are even some cadres in our army who have the audacity to take advantage of the headquarters' regulations that allow the army to do business, openly and blatantly escort smuggling activities, and some people openly participate in smuggling activities. The deputy commander, chief of staff, and commander of the fourth division of the Hejiang Military Region
There were actually two senior cadres, including the logistics minister, who were involved in smuggling activities at the same time."
"Not only was he involved in smuggling, but the logistics minister was also secretly involved in opium trafficking. He used his power to mobilize army vehicles to transport opium and drugs to avoid inspections along the way. As a result, the Japanese military intelligence department was able to combine radio stations with small
Gasoline generators, as well as some guns and ammunition, were transported to Jiamusi and hidden away, avoiding the heavy inspections along the route by our army."
"They even used the gasoline leaked from our army as a power source to send and receive reports. They also used the commercial bank opened by the Fourth Division in Jiamusi as a cover to carry out sabotage activities. These people not only corrupted themselves, but also corrupted the county leaders of several counties under their jurisdiction.
The team leader, a county party committee secretary, two county magistrates, and several public security bureau chiefs were all implicated."
"It is not just the Hejiang Fourth Division that has similar problems. Other troops, especially the frontline military divisions, also have similar problems. Compared with the field troops who are in better condition, the situation is particularly serious in some local troops."
"A logistics director of the Dong'an Military Division colluded with the county party committee secretaries of several counties under the division's jurisdiction to secretly dig coal mines in the name of increasing military expenditures, and took advantage of its so-called geographical advantages to smuggle large amounts of coal and gold into the Japanese-occupied areas and the Soviet Union.
They are very capable in their smuggling routes, even reaching North Korea."
"A considerable part of the coal they smuggled out even became the coal used in Japan's Chongjin Steel Plant. I really didn't expect that our cadres were so capable. They actually let the Japanese use our high-efficiency industrial coal.
, after joining together to form steel, it falls on us to make weapons. He is really capable and skillful."
“In addition to coal, we also smuggled large amounts of grain, sugar, medicines, furs, and traditional Chinese medicine to the Soviet Union and Japanese-occupied areas. We also smuggled gasoline, kerosene, cotton cloth, narcotics, cigarettes, and various alcoholic beverages from the Soviet Union and enemy-occupied areas.
products, cosmetics, seafood and a series of daily necessities and pharmaceuticals that we currently strictly control.”
"The Ministry of Security confiscated several hundred kilograms of dried seafood from one of his residences, of which sea cucumbers alone are worth tens of thousands of yuan. In addition, there are also tiger skins, leopard skins, and sable skins worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
There are thousands of various precious furs, and more than 300 kilograms of precious Chinese medicinal materials such as tiger bones and musk. The shipping addresses on the packaged items actually say Peking and Moscow."
"Except for a small portion of the huge profits he made, most of them were swallowed up by him. Not only did this person have many houses in Jiamusi and Mudanjiang, he even occupied an extremely luxurious villa on Dong'an Street.
. He even took care of a North Korean woman and a previously so-called top prostitute in the area as his mistress. Because of her ability to eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke, she was called the Minister of the Five Poisons by the local people."
"These two districts are currently the two districts with the most serious problems. As for the other main divisions and various districts, they buy and sell by force, fail to repay the money they owe the people for raw materials, and even condone the owners of brothels and gambling houses that have been banned.
, re-opening in secret, acting as a protective umbrella and drawing profits from it, is already a relatively light act compared to this."
"Smuggling, drug trafficking, even secretly harboring prostitutes and gambling, leading a corrupt life, and keeping mistresses. Is this still what we call the People's Army? It has simply become the underworld in Shanghai and Peiping, even worse than the puppet army in some aspects.
We have only been in the city for a short period of time, and yet so many problems have arisen.”
"The occurrence of such a situation not only seriously corroded our combat effectiveness and destroyed our strict discipline. It also caused great losses to our own economy, which is not weak. Only the Dong'an Military Division offered low prices to the Soviet Union
Smuggling coal and gold into Japanese-occupied areas brought losses of millions of yuan to the base area."
"The series of problems we have experienced not only endanger the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also create very convenient conditions for the Japanese and puppets to infiltrate into our army and recruit our cadres to spy on our army's intelligence for them. It also corrodes
It has killed a considerable number of cadres in our army. It has also seriously affected the image of our army and its prestige among the people."
"This trend must be stopped. If we don't solve it, our troops will be completely rotten. The first step to eradicate this phenomenon is to strictly prohibit the troops from doing business. All troops, whether they are field troops or local troops, will all
All self-operated businesses and enterprises, except for their own farms and breeding grounds, will be handed over to the local government, and no one is allowed to stay. All military units are not allowed to set up internal guesthouses."
"Without affecting the original work, the Military Region Logistics Department will try its best to allocate a group of financial personnel to work with the Political Department and the Northeast Bureau to clean up the finances of these enterprises. Problems must be discovered one by one, and all illegal activities must be investigated.
Those who have committed crimes must be dealt with strictly as long as the evidence is solid. Those who are qualified to be shot must not be merciful. Killing one person at this time can serve as a warning and protect a large number of people."
In fact, Yang Zhen was already very clear about the harm caused by the army's business in later generations. However, the army's funds were extremely tight before. The army could only be allocated basic food, military uniforms and other basic living materials. As for non-staple food, it could only guarantee
Part of it. Even the allowances for cadres and soldiers are paid from time to time.
In order to make up for the lack of funds, after strictly stipulating the industries that the troops were not allowed to participate in, the troops below were appropriately allowed to do some business to make up for the lack of funds issued by superiors. Yang Zhen originally thought that he had imposed strict regulations and restrictions, and
Strict management of the industries in which each military unit is engaged can effectively reduce hazards.
As a result, I didn’t expect that problems still occurred. Some problems were even quite serious. Corruption, corruption, and life corruption. The money earned by some troops from doing business did not improve the living standards of the troops. Instead, most of it went into personal income.
fanny pack.
If this situation is not curbed in time, if it is allowed to develop, it will corrode the combat effectiveness of the army bit by bit. So this time Yang Zhen really made up his mind to completely solve the issue of business in the army and stop this trend from the source.
Serious illness requires strong medicine and medical treatment, and you must not treat the patient with a headache.
Putting down the materials in his hand, Li Yanping nodded slightly to Yang Zhen's statement and said: "I support your decision. What should be cleaned up should be thoroughly cleaned up, and everything that should be handed over should be handed over. As for any problems that arise, the parties involved must do so.
Those who deserve to be sentenced should be sentenced, and those who deserve to be killed must not be merciful. If this trend is allowed to continue, our troops will have big problems."
"I don't think there is a need to hold a military region standing committee on this matter. The three of us can decide it. When I get back, I will report it to the Political Department and the Logistics Department, and a group of personnel will be stationed in each military division immediately, and the Production and Construction Corps will conduct a cleanup and accounting.
.The army must behave like an army, and for our strictly disciplined army, this situation cannot happen."
"It turns out that the military region has insufficient financial resources and can only allocate the most basic living expenses and rations. Some other supplies can only be raised by the troops below. Therefore, each army is allowed to open some cooking pots, food factories, farms, shops, and carriage shops to raise funds.
Part of the funding. But now it seems that some of our cadres have seriously changed the taste of this matter."
"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an anthill. If problems arise and we do not deal with them but tolerate them blindly, we will pay an extremely heavy price. If our army does not fail on the battlefield, but falls in the feasting and feasting,
Then we senior cadres will become the sinners of history."
Now that Yang Zhen and Li Yanping have expressed their opinions, Guo Bingxun, who originally believed that the army should go out during wartime, train during peacetime, and engage in commercial activities will not only cause a decline in combat effectiveness, but also affect the stability within the army, let alone
Different opinions.
As a pure soldier, Guo Bingxun originally disapproved of the troops' participation in business activities. In his view, this would cause instability within the troops and also affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
It's just that the situation of the army at that time was too difficult, and sometimes it was even impossible to maintain the basic survival of the army. In order to ensure the source of funds for the army, he had no choice but to agree. However, he was always worried about this situation, and even a little rejected.
This time Yang Zhen was determined to ban the troops from participating in business, and he naturally agreed with both hands and feet.
Seeing that the two partners had no different opinions, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "As for this matter, let me do it first. Again, except for some industrial construction issues, I will not be involved in the future construction of the base area.
Participate. All economic work and other matters will be handed over to the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Government."
Looking at the expressions of the two people after hearing his last words, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "The economic construction of the base area is a local job, and it is also the main job of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Government in the future. Right now we
Although the organizational structure is still somewhat incomplete, the general framework is complete, and they still need to grasp the overall situation of local work."
"And now that the basic framework has been set up in all aspects, there are not many places that need my assistance. I am a soldier and I have to abide by my duties. It is better not to interfere too much in local affairs. In the future, I will be in Africa.
In terms of the introduction of military equipment, it is better to focus on the Northeast Bureau for the rest of the work. There are too many oversteps of authority, and sometimes people will be annoyed."
"As the economy of the base area gradually stabilizes and the great development is about to begin, I think the central government will send capable people to take over. The central government still has talents who are good at economic management. And they are not even half as good as me.
Those who are above are much stronger."
"Professional things still need to be done by professional talents. I am a very irritable person and have a bad temper. As long as I cannot be distracted too much, if I interfere in local work, it will delay important things.
Since we require the troops to completely withdraw from local work and stop doing business, it is up to me, the commander of the military region, to take the lead."
"At the same time, as the Americans' Lend-Lease Act officially begins to be implemented, our troops will also see a considerable improvement in equipment. I will also calm down to study military issues and adjust our strategies and tactics according to changes in the situation.
, we can’t continue to do our job without doing our job. Soldiers, war is our real stage. As for the economy, isn’t that beside the point?”
