Chapter eight hundred and eighteen lure opponents to make mistakes
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Chen Bo looked at the No. 1 in front of him who was younger than himself, hesitated for a moment and said: "No. 1, if we want to examine local cadres suspected of corruption now, we also have to To crack down on the Japanese spy network, we don’t have enough manpower on hand. Do you think you should concentrate on cracking down on the Japanese spy network first and put aside the review of local cadres for now?”
"And now that the war is approaching, strict review of local cadres at this time may cause instability in the base area itself and have some adverse effects on ensuring the progress of the campaign. I suggest that these local cadres be reviewed, right? Let’s do it after the battle is over.”
In response to Chen Bo's hesitation, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "What are you waiting for? There is nothing to wait for. Don't wait. We must dig out these moths as soon as possible and let them stay in our team. The real unstable factors, we cannot turn a blind eye to these people corrupting the party's style just because we are too striving for stability."
"You don't have enough manpower. I asked Chen Long to allocate a group of capable manpower to you from the Intelligence Department. In addition, for vehicles and gasoline, you go to the Chief of Staff and allocate them to you first. In a word, we must not delay the cracking of the Japanese spy network. I have to dig out those moths as soon as possible."
Seeing Yang Zhen's insistence, Chen Bo didn't dare to say anything. But before he could say goodbye, Chen Long, the intelligence chief of the military region who had just returned from Harbin, arrived uninvited. What surprised Yang Zhen was that Chen Long did not come to him specifically to report, but came here specifically to see Chen Bo.
Hearing that Chen Bo was at Yang Zhen's place, Chen Long, who had just gotten off the train, hurried over without even bothering to wash up. He was eager to find Chen Bo this time because he wanted to discuss with Chen Bo and use the case cracked by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Several Japanese military radio stations sent some false information to confuse Japanese military intelligence agencies.
These cracked Japanese secret radio stations are now in the hands of the Ministry of Social Affairs. If Chen Long wants to use these secret radio stations of the Japanese army, he can only come to Chen Bo for discussion. He happens to be here with Yang Zhen, and Chen Long can also use this Take the opportunity to report your thoughts to Yang Zhen.
After listening to Chen Long's suggestions and ideas, Yang Zhen greatly appreciated his ideas. Not only did he immediately approve Chen Long's plan, he also agreed to Chen Long's request and approved him to transfer Ma Chunsheng back from Mudanjiang to specifically cooperate with Chen Long. After performing this fake show, at the same time, the two best combat staff officers and a logistics staff officer from the headquarters were transferred to Chen Long.
Yang Zhen nodded so happily and agreed to almost all of Chen Long's requests, which surprised Chen Long. Seeing Chen Long's somewhat surprised expression, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "Old Chen, you have such a good idea. , why don’t I support it, but you must sing well for me in this play, not only well, but also wonderfully.”
"False and false, true and true, this is the most brilliant part of intelligence warfare. In intelligence work, we must not only collect the enemy's intelligence, but also adopt as many methods as possible to induce the opponent to make mistakes in judgment. Combining technical feints with military deployment feints to create favorable conditions for victory on the battlefield is the ultimate achievement of intelligence work."
"The success of intelligence work, in addition to collecting all military and political intelligence on your opponent, the only criterion is to induce your opponent to constantly make mistakes. These mistakes are not only to continuously induce your opponent to have a negative attitude towards the war. Misjudgment, among other things.”
"Including intelligence collection, judgment, and analysis capabilities, the quality of intelligence work is the most fatal factor in ensuring victory on the battlefield. Remember, try to induce your opponent to make as many mistakes in judgment as possible. Once you can do this, it means success.”
Yang Zhen didn't speak much, but he was very insightful. After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Chen Long and Chen Bo couldn't help but look at each other and nodded slightly. Chen Long had a long conversation with Yang Zhen about intelligence work. It didn't matter, but Chen Bo didn't expect that this young number one not only fought well and knew the international situation well, but he was also so proficient in intelligence work.
Naturally, Yang Zhen didn't know what they were thinking, and he didn't have the time to worry about it. Chen Bo's reports today made him deeply touched. The troops entered the city from deep mountains and old forests. Such a completely different living environment. There will definitely be some, even quite a few, cadres who will be dazzled by the feasting and feasting.
Cadres at all levels have absolute or even no supervisory power. Although they can concentrate on doing big things and be decisive in doing things without procrastination, absolute power makes it difficult for people to control themselves, especially when it comes to the speed of expansion in base areas. Too fast, many cadres are in a promotion situation almost every year.
Not to mention other places, the current Secretary of the Prefectural Committee of Jiamusi was the Secretary of the County Committee of Fujin County last year. Before the Anti-Japanese League broke out in the mountains and forests, this person was only a regimental adjutant of the Anti-Japanese Third Route Army. Although he was not young, But the level of knowledge is not high.
However, the old foundation of the Anti-Japanese League was too weak, the original local organizations were too broken, and even many places were still empty, and it was unable to deploy and train a large number of qualified local cadres in a short period of time to open up new areas. The heavy workload has left these cadres with basically no time to further their studies and receive theoretical education.
There is a severe shortage of qualified local cadres, and due to the heavy workload and lack of theoretical study, coupled with the huge difference from coming out of the original deep mountains and old forests to the feasting and temptation of big cities, everything is intertwined. , it is not surprising that it has caused some corruption.
But for Yang Zhen, this situation must be contained. Although most of the problems now are local, it will not affect the army in the long run. Once the army is infected with this trend, the entire army will be destroyed, and Whether it is local cadres or cadres in the army, if this trend cannot be stopped, the current situation will be ruined.
Even if it means killing a large number of people, Yang Zhen will never tolerate the destruction of the foundation created by Bai Zhanfang in the hands of these worms. Killing is not the only way to solve the problem, but only by killing a group of people. Only in this way can we shock and save more people, learn from past mistakes and avoid future consequences, and treat illnesses and save lives. Yang Zhen still understands this principle.
It was not that Yang Zhen had not thought about the mass movements carried out by the Chairman later, but he was also worried that if they went too far, it would also bring devastating damage to the base area. Moreover, mass movements could only be effective temporarily, but they were not a long-term solution. To completely nip this situation in the bud, in addition to improving the system, we also need an effective and reliable means of supervision.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen did not rely on anyone else and personally drafted a telegram to the Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau. In the telegram, in addition to requesting the Central Committee to select a group of capable local cadres, especially the candidates for the county party committee secretary and the organization director, It is recommended to establish a disciplinary inspection committee that is independent of local party committees.
In each local party committee, set up a full-time deputy secretary who serves as a member of the Standing Committee of the party committee but is only responsible to the superior disciplinary inspection commission. This secretary is specifically responsible for local anti-corruption work. At the same time, it is recommended that the situation in the base area has become large-scale and has begun to stabilize. Under this circumstance, certain restrictions were placed on the power of local cadres.
Just after drafting this telegram with more than 2,000 words, before Yang Zhen could put down his pen, Guo Bingxun walked in with a map and some reports in his hand. When he saw what Guo Bingxun was holding, Yang Zhen realized that he was For a while, he had been too distracted from his duties. Except for discussing the battle plan with Wang Guangyu in Qiqihar, almost all other matters were left to Guo Bingxun.
Even during the period of returning from Qiqihar, the main focus was on the revision of the combat plan and the comprehensive review of all aspects of intelligence, while the necessary pre-war preparations, as well as the deployment of personnel and materials, were neglected. It was given to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun.
After handing the telegram to Yuan Zhiruo for dispatch, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, all the burden during this period, as well as the preparations for the battle, have fallen on you. Thank you for your hard work. Okay. All the matters at hand have been taken care of."
Hearing Yang Zhen's somewhat guilty words, Guo Bingxun shook his head with a worried look on his face and said: "No. 1, work matters don't matter. What you do and what I do are all the same. Now I'm most worried about our foreign aid. Channels, especially channels for outsourced supplies, have basically been disrupted.
"Just yesterday, I received a notification from Jiangbei that since the Soviet Union is now in a war situation, they can no longer afford to supply us with oil and other raw materials. Starting from next month, that is, August, they will It will completely interrupt the supply of all the raw materials we need except salt."
"Based on our current reserves, all our oil reserves will be completely consumed by May next year at the latest. This is only if we reduce our own usage, so that we can barely maintain it until May next year. The situation in the Ministry of Military Industry is better. In addition to the gun propellants and explosives that we are now able to mass-produce on our own, the stockpile of steel for guns can support until our steel plant is partially put into production."
"But the most serious thing is that the amount of cotton reserves we have on hand is insufficient. It can only sustain the equipment needed by the troops this winter. If the Soviet-German war cannot be ended in a short time, there will be basically no supply of winter clothing next year, and it is not just cotton. , other sources of material supply and raw materials are also in short supply.”
"I consulted the captured Japanese agricultural experts and they told me that due to the temperature and sunshine, it is currently impossible to grow cotton in our base area. Even the entire Northeast is not suitable for cotton growth. In other words, after the Soviet Union defeated Germany Before, we had no other channels to import cotton, unless we could occupy domestic cotton producing areas such as the Huanghuai Plain."
"And judging from the current development of the Soviet-German war, it is difficult for the Soviets, who have been defeated again and again, to reverse the war situation in a short time. We even have to be prepared for the Soviet Union to be occupied by the Germans. As for the Americans, I am very Worry about that, and we cannot directly import supplies from the United States without passing through the Soviet Union."
