It’s different now. His son died in the war, but his status as a military dependent remains unchanged. Of course, the pension cannot be reduced, and it must be paid in full to the military dependents. Not only can the military dependents’ previous benefits not be reduced, but they must be increased. , I personally believe that all soldiers who died in the Anti-Japanese War are warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation, and can be awarded the title of martyr. The status of their family members as military relatives was naturally elevated to that of martyred relatives.
The treatment of the martyrs' families must be improved, and all land and commercial taxes must be exempted. The county and the army must also provide help to families in need. The families of the martyrs must not be left to freeze or starve. Those with children must also fund their education, so that all soldiers have no worries and do not have to worry about the lives and safety of their families after they die in battle.
If we can establish these three aspects of military ideological work, so that officers and soldiers have the motivation and enthusiasm to train and fight, and have a personal and collective sense of honor and responsibility, officers and soldiers and their families will have the army to rely on. I dare to say that when such officers and soldiers face the ferocious Japanese, their courage and determination will not be weaker than that of the other side, and they may even be braver and more tenacious than the Japanese.
Because we are protecting our hometown, protecting our relatives, protecting our fathers and fellow villagers, and protecting our country and nation. I am on the righteous side. When we fight against the Japanese, we do it with confidence and have a natural momentum. The Japanese are just bandits who invade other people's homes, burn, kill and loot. They are irrational and weak. Facing the blood and bravery of our soldiers, their momentum is weakened by three points. After this, we have gained six points of momentum. Coupled with the sense of honor and responsibility we have cultivated, do you think our soldiers are still afraid of death? Are you still afraid of the fierceness and bayonet fighting of the little Japanese?
Of course, such ideological work cannot be done by the military alone. It must also have the cooperation and support of local governments. That’s why I said before that I don’t know about other places, but we have this condition in Shanxi, because Shanxi’s military and local government were founded by Marshal Yan. Marshal Yan has been working hard to develop and establish Shanxi for decades. He killed the world-famous Jin army and ensured the peace and stability of our Shanxi for decades, allowing our Shanxi to not be affected by the flames of war during the decades of warlord struggles in China. He also organized the construction of railways and highways and developed the economy, which led to the stable and prosperous situation in Shanxi today.
As a son of Shanxi, I always keep these great achievements of Marshal Yan in mind, so I believe that as long as Marshal Yan can come back to preside over the overall work in Shanxi, as long as Marshal Yan supports the ideological construction of the army, then the construction of the three aspects of ideological work I just mentioned All of them can be solved and implemented. This is where Shanxi’s advantage and confidence lies.
Today I have basically finished talking about some of my thoughts on how to deal with the Japanese army in the future. Thank you to all the officers and seniors for your patience in listening to these superficial words of the juniors. I believe that the seniors will also have better methods and strategies. I will be very happy after this. I am willing to ask for advice and learn from my superiors and seniors. Thanks! "
After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he solemnly performed a military salute and walked back to his seat amidst warm applause from the audience.
Most of the officers below now have only one word to comment on Zhou Wen, and that is "convinced". It's hard not to be convinced. At such a young age, not only is his tactics and strategy sound and highly feasible and pertinent, Moreover, he also came up with effective methods to understand the soldiers' thoughts, and even provided enlightenment and guidance to officers like himself who had been in the army for many years.
In the past, when I followed the commander in various expeditions, I, as officers, had gained a lot of benefits, including promotions and fortunes, but even so, I still felt a little confused and lost.
What is the duty of our soldiers? When I went to the military academy, it was clearly stated in the books - wasn't it about "serving the country with loyalty", but what have you done since you joined the army? For more than ten years, they have been fighting confused battles, fighting against the Anhui Army, against the Fengjun Army, against the Zhili Clique, and against the Northwest Army. One day, they join the revolutionary army to fight the warlords, and tomorrow they become new warlords who want to rebel against the revolutionary army. Those brainless Tuqiuba, soldiers and gangsters who are just waiting to die are fine. They can just follow the promotion and make a fortune. However, officers like themselves, who are smart and thoughtful and still have the belief of "serving the country with loyalty", are becoming more and more hesitant and confused.
This is true for all our schooled officers, let alone those big-headed soldiers who are illiterate. So everyone fights for one purpose, and that is money, so whether it is a reward from the top, whether it is a capture, or even a robbery, as long as I have money, I will fight. What if there is no money? Then everyone, just run away. Anyway, the officers will run away, and the soldiers will run away as well. When they run back, they will be a good guy again, waiting for the next opportunity to make a fortune.
Isn’t this the pattern of civil wars in the past few decades? Anyway, the law does not punish the public. Thousands of people have fled. How can you still kill all these people? Do you still want soldiers or territory? Therefore, military discipline and law have become a decoration. The few elite main brigades in our Jin army are fine, but the non-main force and local troops are basically a mess. When fighting with a headwind, they really want to be the first to rush in and seize the goods all by themselves. The officers strive for credit so much that they almost draw their guns and fight. But when fighting against a headwind, it's a difficult battle, and they all huddle back and watch the situation. , if something goes wrong, he will run faster than the rabbit's father.
Isn’t this the outcome of the Central Plains War? The commander of the first division defected, and the commander-in-chief of the Central Army was trapped and shot. If our Commander Zhao hadn't suddenly emerged and turned the tide when he was in danger, I don't know how bad the situation would have been, but we also let our Sixth Brigade The troops were injured and the losses were heavy. Even the commander was seriously injured.
Now that I think about it, I don’t have any worries or hesitations about attacking Japan. This is true loyalty to the country, with a clear purpose and clear thoughts. If you use these methods of Director Zhou, you will tie the hearts of the officers and soldiers. If you don’t You have to think about yourself as well as your family, and getting honors is not just your personal matter, it can also benefit your family.
If these training and methods are used well, then we will be able to compete with the Japanese. Aren’t our soldiers just trying to show off their talents on the battlefield against foreign enemies and serve the country with blood? Even if they die in battle, they can Leave a good name for yourself and your family, your family's life will be guaranteed, you will not lose even if you die, and you will have the honor of a martyr. Maybe in the future, you can leave a name in history and be respected by future generations. This is the best thing for our generation of soldiers. destination.
Director Zhou Wen really said everything that was in our hearts this time. The method he came up with was good, simple and easy to understand. But in the end, the conversation was wrong. Why did he praise the commander-in-chief?
