This is the second time Chen Zikun came to Zhongnanhai after liberation.
The atmosphere was very different from the last time.
The lights were still bright late at night.
The conference room was filled with heavyweights of the Republic, including the Chairman, Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and Comrade Xiaoping. , Chen Yun, and General Peng who came from the northwest.
After greeting them one by one, the chairman said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Chen Zikun, I heard that you were alarmist at the General Staff and exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the US military, which scared even our junior staff officers."
Chen Zikun was shocked.
It would be a grave sin to destroy his own ambition and gain the prestige of the enemy.
However, the central government would never deliberately set up a trap to harm himself.
It must be because the central government still has a dispute over whether to participate in the war.
It is obvious that the chairman is the main battle party.
Let's look at it again There were no clues in the expressions of the others.
They were all experienced revolutionaries.
Their emotions and anger were not visible, so naturally nothing could be discerned.
After calming down, Chen Zikun explained calmly: "Chairman, I am not being alarmist.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the US military is stronger than we imagined.
We can only compete with them in terms of ground power.
We are completely unmatched in sea and air.
What’s more, the U.S. military still has the ultimate weapon, the atomic bomb.”
The chairman waved his hand: "Stop talking.
You are just like them.
You are driven by the idea of small-scale peasant economics.
After finally getting two acres of land, you are reluctant to part with the pots and pans.
The Americans have already arrived at our doorstep, directly threatening our Northeast industrial base.
War is If they don’t follow our will, even if they don’t fight over and have 100,000 troops on the banks of the Yalu River, will the Northeast still develop and build the country?”
Chen Zikun understood.
It seemed that the majority of people did not advocate sending troops.
That was why the chairman was so emotional.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to fight the Americans.
After all, the gap in strength was too big.
The country had just been established.
It was a waste of time and money.
Xing, modern war not only costs human lives, but also steel and gasoline.
China’s steel output continues The United States can't keep up with even a fraction of it.
It can't produce gasoline.
All its planes, tanks and artillery are captured.
Every one of them is destroyed.
National leaders will know these basic situations.
They who have the overall situation will only know more than themselves. , since the Chairman is going against all opinions, he must have his considerations.
Perhaps the Soviets will lend a helping hand.
Thinking of this, Chen Zikun said: "If we want to fight, try to place the battlefield outside the country and don't expand it into a full-scale war.
If the central government can be trusted, I am willing to lead troops into the DPRK."
The Chairman and the Prime Minister looked at each other and smiled.
Premier Zhou asked: "General Chen, how many years have you not led troops in a war?"
Chen Zikun said: "It's embarrassing to say that the last battle at the command division level was during the period of warlord melee.
During the Anti-Japanese War, we fought defensive warfare and guerrilla warfare, which doesn't count."

The Prime Minister said: "We will consider the issue of candidates to lead troops into North Korea.
The purpose of asking you to come is to introduce the combat characteristics of the US military and the policies of the US government so that we can make corresponding judgments."
Chen Zikun said: "The United States has always prioritized Europe before Asia.
Now it is vigorously supporting Europe and carrying out the Marshall Plan.
Overall, it maintains a defensive posture in Asia.
The outbreak of the Korean War was purely an accidental necessity.
After World War II, the world was divided by ideology.
The two poles, the so-called democratic and free world have already lost to mainland China, and losing South Korea again is unacceptable to them, so this time The U.S. military came in force and would not give up until it achieved its goal.
MacArthur was arrogant and willful.
He did not take Roosevelt seriously in his early years, and he would not take Truman seriously at this time.
The war also escalated.
There is a possibility, as the chairman said, we have to fight whether we fight or not.
In other words, we were dragged into the war by North Korea, and they have to pay for it. " Everyone laughed, and the Prime Minister said: "General Chen calculates carefully and clearly, but our socialist country does not follow the capitalist society.
We are comrades and brothers in the revolutionary comrade-in-arms relationship.
If we need assistance, we will provide it free of charge."
Chen Zikun said: "What the Prime Minister learned is that my ideological realm needs to be improved.
Korea has always been a vassal state of China.
In history, our country has sent troops many times to help them resist foreign enemies.
This time we resolutely sent troops to demonstrate our demeanor as a great country.
No matter what the outcome of the battle, it will be It’s of great positive significance.”
This statement is implicit, meaning that although defeat is glorious, overall, we are still not optimistic about entering Korea.
After all, Chen Zikun only provided information support to the decision-makers.
After completing his duties, he returned to Jiangdong.
The task given to him by the central government was to step up military production and support the cause of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
One day after he left, the Chairman and the Prime Minister mentioned Chen Zikun during a chat.
The Chairman said: "Chen Zikun knows politics very well."
The Prime Minister said: "No, otherwise why would it remain standing for decades?"
The troops determined to join the war in North Korea have begun to mobilize.
Some special forces of the Jiangbei Garrison Division who are proficient in mechanical maintenance were also called to go north.
Deputy Division Commander Liu Xiaoyong took the initiative to request a fight, but was rejected by his superiors.
The aviation school also received orders from superiors to dispatch capable pilots to participate in intensive training in preparation for resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
Chen Bei was very excited and approached Principal Jiang and asked to participate in the operation.
Principal Jiang said that this enthusiasm for serving the country is worthy of recognition, but everyone Strong demands were made to join the war, and some comrades even wrote letters in blood, which made it difficult for the leaders.
So be it, go back and wait for notification.
After waiting for half a month, Chen Bei's name was not included in the list of people who were transferred north.
At this time, the Chinese People's Volunteers had already crossed the Yalu River and launched a fierce battle with the United Nations forces headed by the Americans.
Chen Bei once again found Principal Jiang and stated his determination: "I studied under the Americans and know their methods very well.
Besides, I have rich experience in air combat.
I have shot down twenty-eight enemy planes.
The U.S.
Air Force is all about...
You old man, it would be too much of a loss for us students who have only flown for a hundred or ten hours to compete with them.
Let me go.
I promise not to embarrass the organization. " Principal Jiang said: "Chen Bei, it's not that I don't want to go, it's the superiors' intention, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Chen Beidao: "I know, you think my leg is lame and I can't survive it.

Don't say anything.
Give me a plane and I will prove everything."
Principal Jiang was so troubled by him that he could only say: "You might as well talk to your father, his words will definitely work."
So Chen Bei returned home to discuss with Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun looked at his son: "You want to join the war so much?"
Chen Beidao: "I want to fly, this is the only chance."
Chen Zikun was silent for a while and said, "Go back, I understand."
Chen Bei returned to the aviation school and waited for good news.
A few days later, the good news came.
A transfer order transferred Chen Bei to a secret flight base in the north.
The vigorous campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea began, and the people were always paying attention to the progress of the war.
The provincial party committee and the provincial government launched a call to donate money and materials to the volunteers.
Art groups performed for charity, shops sold for charity, and primary school students took to the streets with donation boxes and beat gongs and drums to let pedestrians donate money.
Liu and his wife were newly married and had little savings, but they also donated one month's salary.
They felt that it was not enough, so they rummaged through the boxes in the dormitory and found a pile of scrap metal, which they planned to sell for money.
They were busy, Suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Liu Yu, are you there?"
It was Pan Xin, a high school classmate.
She also worked in the Provincial Party Committee, but in the Secretariat.
She usually dealt with leaders more.
Liu Yu took a look at her.
She was dressed in a neat blue Lenin suit, with short hair that was close to her ears, and her fair skin was revealing.
Blushing, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, you are so beautifully dressed, are you going on a blind date?"
Pan Xin slapped Liu Nao: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm actually here to deliver the invitation."
Liu Yu said: "What invitation?
Your eldest brother has given birth to a baby?"
Pan Xin's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.
She lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes, and said coquettishly: "I am getting married."
Liu Yu couldn't close her mouth as she grew older, and suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, old classmate, you are so fast.
You did it quietly and kept it secret beforehand.
You are really not a friend enough.
Tell me, which unit is this young man like this?"
Blessed."
Zhang Guangyin also said later: "No wonder you declined the offer last time when Liu Lao offered to introduce someone to you.
It turns out you already have someone in mind, haha."
Pan Xin said: "Actually, you all know this person.
We have discussed it.
Keep everything simple.
Just notify your closest relatives and friends.
No ceremony or banquet."
Liu Yu said: "Okay, we all understand that this is the critical moment of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
If anyone dares to make a big deal, please stop showing off.
Tell me who the groom is, I'm going to die of panic."
Pan Xin said: "Then I said it."
"Say it quickly."
"I really said it."

"You must have done it on purpose.
I won't listen to you if you keep doing this."
Pan Xin said hurriedly: "Okay, I said it.
I'm afraid you will be scared, and I just want you to make some mental preparations.
That person is Secretary Zheng."
"Who do I think it is?
Who is Secretary Zheng?
Which Secretary Zheng?"
Liu Yu was stunned.
He quickly searched for the Youth League Committee Secretary surnamed Zheng in his mind.
There was none in every unit.
Could it be?
Liu Yu and Zhang Guangyin looked at each other and swallowed, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Pan Xin said: "That's Secretary Zheng of the Provincial Party Committee, Zheng Zeru."
Zheng Zeru, the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the number one leader of Jiangdong Province, turned out to be Pan Xin’s fiancé This news is so explosive.
It’s not because old and young match each other.
It’s not uncommon for revolutionary cadres in their forties or fifties to marry young girls of seventeen or eighteen.
It’s mainly because Secretary Zheng’s words at Liu’s wedding still ring in my ears.
She dedicated her life to Revolutionary work, how could it happen in a blink of an eye?
Liu Yu had forgotten when Pan Xin left.
She only knew that she had a big red invitation in her hand.
"Secretary Zheng and Xiao Pan are well hidden.
We don't know when they fell in love.
We are so eager to get married.
Are they already there?"
Zhang Guangyin said half-jokingly.
Liu Lao pinched him hard: "Don't talk nonsense.
Secretary Zheng is also a human being.
He is almost fifty years old and is still unmarried.
What else do you want him to do?
Well, it probably happened between the two of them at work.
Feelings, no matter what, bless them."
Zhang Guangyin said: "What gift should we give?"
Liu Lao said: "Give me a pillow towel.
My eldest sister gave it to us last time, but we haven't used it yet."
The wedding was indeed simple.
Less than ten people were invited.
Tea was served instead of wine, and there were no wedding candies.
They simply announced that they were husband and wife.
The whole process only took half an hour.
Although Secretary Zheng was less than fifty years old, his temples were Already gray, today is his happy day, but his face is filled with the brilliance that only young people can have.
It makes people feel sad to see it.
How did Secretary Zheng survive these years?
Two days later, at Liu Cunren's house, Liu Nao and her eldest sister were chatting.
They mentioned the marriage between Secretary Zheng and Pan Xin, and said with emotion: "Although the age gap is a bit big, Secretary Zheng has high political quality.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Living with him, Xiao Pan His ideological awareness must have improved very quickly, and he will soon surpass me.”
Liu Ting frowned and said, "If Zheng Zeru remarries, what will happen to his wife and children?
They should have graduated from high school this year."
Liu Yu said in shock: "Sister, please stop talking nonsense.
Secretary Zheng has always been single, how could he have ever been married."
Liu Ting said: "I'm not lying.
During the Beitai Defense War in 1938, I helped deliver the baby for his wife.
It was a boy named Wang Beitai.
I remember it clearly."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu slowly said: "Sister, you must have remembered it wrong
