Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 347 I’m here to protect the brigade commander’s smile

The two keywords of Chen and Major General immediately identified Huang He as the ideal candidate for the Viet Minh.

 It's very simple, because there are currently only four major generals named Chen in the Eighth Route Army. Combined with Lao Hu's personal network, the final answer can basically be revealed.

 The decision is yours! brigadier!

After he suddenly understood, the expression on Huang He's face became extremely exciting, as if he had thought of something ridiculous.

Without him, it is really impossible to guard against it.

　　It is clearly only 1941, so why is it that our brigade commander is inexplicably targeted by allies in Southeast Asia more than nine years in advance?

 At this moment, Lao Dai, who was traveling with him, looked very confused.

He really couldn't figure out why Huang He could suddenly stage a face-changing drama just by mentioning his surname and military rank.

 After hesitating for a moment, our French comrade said thoughtfully:

"Huang, it seems that you have a good relationship with that major general. He should be a very famous and charming commander in your Eighth Route Army, right?"

"Don't just worry about yourself. First introduce to me the resume of that comrade, and then tell me your true thoughts and see if I can help you."

“Although I am not the leader of the Viet Minh, they will refer to my opinions during this trip, and what I say carries some weight.”

 The current brigade commander has not commanded a very large international war. He has not yet established his reputation as a master of trench warfare with the feat of digging through the center of the peninsula.

If this were placed ten years later, others would be able to instantly understand who the Viet Minh wanted just by looking at a surname.

 Hearing the friend's inquiry, the Yellow River began to make its way slowly during the Northern Expedition, and talked about the Second Battle of Taiyuan some time ago in one breath.

 Whenever dangers and large-scale battles are mentioned, Lao Dai will even put himself into the role of a brigade commander and put himself in his shoes to think about whether he can do better.

"All in all, this is a very capable commander. If there is a big enough stage, his performance will not be inferior to Montgomery, Zhukov, Rommel and others."

“As for Marshal Mai, I’m afraid he’s not even qualified to come up and pick up shoes.”

“I believe that one day, he will prove his military capabilities to the whole world and leave a mark in the military history of various countries.”

Hearing this, the French comrade nodded in agreement.

This kind of hexagonal warrior who is outstanding in military, intelligence and other aspects is a popular presence in any country and any force.

If Free France had such a central figure, he would have lived at least ten more years.

 Soon, Lao Dai suddenly realized something.

According to the description just now, the Major General named Chen seems to be very suitable to serve as the leader of the advisory group to go to Southeast Asia to assist the Viet Minh, but why doesn't his friend support this matter?

Just when he was about to raise his question, Huang He promptly explained:

"The reason why I don't want him to go is mainly because of the other person's physical condition. There are many hidden injuries on his body, and there are hidden dangers in his legs and heart."

“Although the medical level of the Eighth Route Army is not as good as that of those established military powers, at least the full care will not make the other party’s condition worsen.”

“What’s more, the army is in a period of rapid development and it is the time to employ people. Every senior commander is extremely important.”

 Speaking of this, Mr. Huang thought of some memories from his past life.

 Although his brigade commander is still a bachelor now, Huang He has read some stories about him and his second wife in his previous life.

 The two have a very good relationship. Every time they have to separate due to work reasons, they will give each other a brand new diary.

 During this period, both parties will record their daily lives in diaries.

 After the couple reunites, they can share every moment of a certain period of time by exchanging diaries.

As we all know, the brigade commander is a fun-loving person.

 Under normal circumstances, he would only write some interesting anecdotes and experiences in his diary, rather reporting good news but not bad news.

Only when he was assisting an ally, he, who is naturally humorous, rarely turned on the complaining mode. He really just wrote a few curse words in his notebook and cursed a few times. He was obviously very angry.

 Due to the many problems within the Viet Minh, even if other comrades in the advisory group help share the work, he still needs to do many things personally.

 Whenever there is a major battle or operation, it is common to stay awake for many days and nights.

Coupled with the poor local climate conditions, the brigade commander suffered from old injuries and new diseases. He even became bedridden due to illness during his return to China for recuperation.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, Huang He has always believed that the regret in March 1961 had something to do with the aid trip to Vietnam.

Hearing his friend’s explanation, Lao Dai expressed his understanding in a considerate manner.

When he came to the Republic of China, he had already learned about the situation in North China through various channels and learned that the Eighth Route Army was fighting multiple divisions of the Japanese army at the same time.

 The recent transfer of a brigade-level commander will definitely affect the battle situation on the front line.

What’s more, if someone is in poor health, what should he do if something happens to him in a remote place like Southeast Asia? Who can take on this responsibility then?

 After thinking for a moment, Lao Dai proactively suggested:

"As far as I know, your senior management has not yet decided who will be sent to lead the advisory group. You should still have the opportunity to do ideological work on the parties involved."

“I will also persuade the Viet Minh and try to make them change their minds.”

“When the time comes, we should work together internally and externally to try to change the direction of things.”

As soon as these words came out, Huang He's face suddenly glowed.

  If the parties concerned and the Viet Minh can be dealt with at the same time, regrets in the future can be avoided. Brigadier's smile! I'll protect it!

 “Okay! Please!”

  ·······

 While walking and chatting along the way, the two of them arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The guards at the door seemed to have received some news in advance. The moment they saw Lao Dai, they took the initiative to greet him, and then took him to the restaurant specially used to receive guests.

 Huang He went straight to the Meishan conference room. As soon as he entered the door, he found the brigade commander and Lao Hu talking and laughing.

These two have been friends for many years. They even worked together during the Whampoa Military Academy. They were present at Wu and Yi's weddings.

 After seeing Huang He appear, the brigade commander took the initiative to get up and pull him over, and then introduced to the two people beside him:

“This is Comrade Huang He I just mentioned!”

“He is the director of our Border Region Weapons Experimental Research Bureau. He has directly or indirectly participated in the research and development of a number of new weapons and has made great contributions to the military-industrial system of our Eighth Route Army.”

 When introducing Huang He, the brigade commander’s expression was full of pride and pride, as if he was praising his young and promising younger brother.

Then he patted his ally on the shoulder and continued to introduce: "Huanghe, these two are Lao Hu and Lao Wu. They are both comrades from the Viet Minh."

 “From now on, we will fight side by side for a long time, and I hope everyone can get along well.”

With the help of the brigade commander, Huang set his sights on allies coming from afar.

 Lao Hu is not much different from what he remembers, except that he looks younger than the illustrations in history books. Just when they met for the first time, he felt the other person's perseverance.

 Compared to the former, Huanghe is still more interested in the future Red Napoleon Brother.

 Because this senior Viet Minh general, who was neither completely red nor had the same strength as Na Huang, was the culprit who raised the brigade commander's blood pressure during the period of aid to Vietnam.

Since Brother Wen is from the history department and has received almost no systematic military training, his overall perspective when commanding troops in combat is very poor!

It is worth mentioning that this person likes to attack first and then play later. From time to time, he will feel that he is good again, and then he will lead the main force to play a wave.

It seems that out of respect for cultural people, Brother Wen was very enthusiastic at this time. He took the first step and took Huang He's hand, his tone full of sincerity.

 “Comrade Huanghe! I have long admired your great name!”

“From Paris to Hanoi, everyone knows your reputation. If our Viet Minh had scientists of your level, we would have liberated the entire Indochina!”

“If you have a chance in the future, please come to Gaoping and try our coffee.”

"good."

 When mentioning coffee, the smile on Huang He's face gradually stiffened. He thought of the classic old joke about the Viet Minh on the Internet in later generations: You can lose the battle, but you must drink coffee.

Time was urgent, so after saying hello to Lao Hu and Brother Wen, he pulled the future master of trench warfare to an uninhabited corner with a slight apology.

“Brigadier Commander, we have been working together for more than two years. Today I am asking you something seriously. Do you believe in my judgment?”

These inexplicable words immediately made the brigade commander, a monk who was a little tall and two feet tall, confused, but with trust in his comrades, he nodded subconsciously.

Although Huang He is usually a bit playful, his strategic vision can definitely be ranked among the top ten in the Eighth Route Army. Even the staff of the border area are full of praise for this.

“Believe it, of course I believe it.”

 “Having been with you for so long, everyone’s ability is obvious to all.”

 Getting a positive reply from the brigade commander, Huang He said with a serious face:

"You must know the purpose of Lao Hu's coming to Taiyuan this time. There is a high probability that he will invite you to lead the advisory group. The military foundation of the comrades there is very poor, and there are many ideological problems."

“My personal suggestion is that you must not go. During the meeting later, I will recommend other candidates to the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff.”

"ah?"

 The current situation of the Viet Minh is completely different from that of the border areas more than ten years ago.

  Thanks to the work of the army's morale wizards, the border area had the support of the regular army from the beginning, which ensured that the army had good combat effectiveness in the early stages of its establishment.

 Before the formal reorganization into the Eighth Route Army, the comrades’ combat experience focused on a steady and steady approach.

Everyone first gained experience by fighting against militia bandits, then fought against various warlords' miscellaneous armed forces, and finally went head-to-head with the Central Army.

 Coupled with the ideological unity of 25,000 miles, the powerful combat effectiveness of 1937 was created.

 The prerequisites for this are all indispensable.

But the situation of the Viet Minh was very special. Most of their senior leaders were intellectuals who had studied abroad, while the soldiers were basically composed of untrained lower-class people, and there was an extreme lack of military cadres.

 Such a unit will have to face Asia's top armed Japanese army and the European hegemon France from the very beginning. It is equivalent to the Novice Village having to face two world-class BOSSs.

 Their cadres are filled with all kinds of opportunism and hedonism.

While shouting about downing imperialism, these people are proud to speak French and Japanese. While they want revolution, they look down on the working people.

Precisely because of the existence of these people, it is not surprising that a few decades later they would call out the Federation of the Greater Indochina Democratic Republic.

 After hearing Huang He’s explanation, the brigade commander fell into deep thought for a short time.

 In fact, he naturally knows all the above-mentioned issues, but the senior officials in the border area have a very good impression of Lao Hu, and the two have a good personal relationship.

If the other party really asks for it, it will be really hard to refuse for a while.

Looking at the hesitant brigade commander, Huang He shook his head helplessly. He could only take another dose of strong medicine.

“Brigadier Commander, don’t you want to lead your comrades to drive away the Japanese? Don’t you want to cross the Yangtze River yourself to liberate all of China?”

"You should know best what's going on with your own body. Just considering the typhoon-like rainy season in Southeast Asia, do you think your body can withstand it?"

 “What is the body? It is the capital of revolution!”

As soon as these words came out, the brigade commander began to waver.

If the Japanese invaders have been pushed into the sea now, even if they know that the conditions in Southeast Asia are difficult, they will not hesitate to set out to aid Vietnam. This is for faith and friendship.

But now that the Eighth Route Army has not even recovered North China, he is naturally reluctant and unwilling to leave the battlefield.

 “Okay, I will seriously consider your proposal.”

"I will talk to Lao Hu later and try to get him to find another candidate. I will also personally send a report to the Desperate Fox and the deputy commander to explain the situation."

After hearing this, Huang He let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as the brigade commander doesn’t want to go, there’s basically no problem.

Just when they were about to go back to explain the situation, the security guard from the headquarters suddenly ran into the conference room, saluted Chen and Huang and said:

“Brigadier Commander, Director Huang, the Vice President asked me to inform you that there will be an internal meeting in five minutes.”

I went to the mountains two days ago, and I caught a cold and went to the hospital where I had fluids for two days. I just came home this afternoon.

There is another chapter in the early morning
