In the year, the chairman said to Liu Yalou: If you have any questions, come to me, don't mess with new theories
October 1936, Red.
After the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Front armies met and in order to strengthen the political work of the 4th Front Army, they sent a scientist from the Red Army University to "go down the mountain to do great things" and sent him to the 4th Red Army of the Fourth Front Army as chief of staff.
After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, the anti-Japanese united front was basically formed, and it was decided to send a group of Red Army University scholars back to the army to go to the anti-Japanese front.
Needless to say, the mood of a scientific officer at the Red Army University was so excited. Quite a few people volunteered to write to the General Political Department, asking to go to the front. Who should go to the front line, and who should stay to help run the school, ** have their own plans.
On this day, he came to teach the students again.
Before the official lecture, he looked around the classroom and said unhurriedly: "I heard that some students in the Political Department have written letters, hoping to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and show their true talents and learning.
That's certainly a good thing, but it's ......He deliberately dragged out his tone, and continued: "I hereby announce that all students who write letters must stay, and those who do not write letters are free to choose to leave the school." ”
Zhang Aiping and Liu Yalou, the classmates who wrote the letter, looked at each other after hearing this, and they were at a loss. But *** explained slowly: "You are all excellent cadets, and you are all eager to protect the country and the people on the battlefield, which is admirable."
However, revolutionary work requires all kinds of talents, and if you all leave, the school will not be able to function. We need you to stay in school and become teachers to meet the demands of the new situation. ”
** When it was said and done, all the classmates who wrote the letter were left behind, including Liu Yalou, who became the head of training at the Red Army University. However, Liu Yalou was dissatisfied with being left behind, and watching his classmates excitedly pack their luggage and prepare to return to the army, he couldn't help but complain: "I am a big man with no theoretical knowledge, and I am only suitable for rushing and killing on the battlefield, so what is the matter of leaving me in school?" ”
His whining quickly reached ***'s ears. * Sent someone to find Liu Yalou and invited him to his residence for a conversation. After meeting Liu Yalou, the first sentence was: "Liu Yalou, I heard that you invented a theory?" ”
Liu Yalou was puzzled and replied: "Chairman, I am a coarse man with no theoretical knowledge, I don't have any theories, let alone invent theories. * Light a cigarette and smile and say'Those with theoretical knowledge are responsible for running schools, and those without theoretical knowledge go to war'Isn't that a theory?
I've heard that you invented this theory. Hearing this, Liu Yalou immediately understood his mistake, and he defended: "I don't think it's a theory, I just think that I might be more suitable on the front line." ”
** Looking out the window, he said calmly: "Whether the work is suitable or not is not determined by what you think, but by the development of the situation and the needs of the revolution." We have already selected the cadres in charge of running the school, if you have any opinions, you can come to me directly, don't invent theories indiscriminately.
I have decided to make you the head of training at the University of the Red Army, and I am sure that you will be competent. Hearing these words, Liu Yalou lowered his head in shame, then stood up, gave a military salute to ***, and said firmly: "I will definitely complete the task assigned by the chairman." ”
The chairman decided to send him to the Frunze Military Academy of the USSR for further study, making him a mainstay of the country in the future. Before Liu Yalou went abroad, the chairman made an appointment to meet him at his residence, deliberately mentioned the past, and asked him with a smile: "Remember that you always wanted to go to the battlefield?"
But it's not time for you to go to the Soviet Union to continue your studies, don't you have any new theories? Liu Yalou recalled the embarrassment of the year, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "It's still the chairman who is right, learning and then knowing is insufficient, and the more you learn, the more you feel that your knowledge is not enough."
Thank you, Chair, for giving me this opportunity to learn. The chairman nodded with satisfaction and said: "When you go to Moscow this time, you must remember: study more about military affairs and less about politics."
In addition, the Comintern does not know much about us, so you should bring a few more copies of "On Practice," "Theory of Contradiction," and "Strategic Problems of the Chinese Revolutionary War" and personally hand them over to Dimitrov, and ask him to pass them on to Stalin, and tell Dimitrov more about the several 'leftist' mistakes in the history of our Party and their harms, as well as the current policy of our Party's anti-Japanese national united front. ”
Liu Yalou has been in the Soviet Union for nearly 8 years, and after returning to China, he has become an indispensable mainstay of our army.
