Chapter 13: A War of Words Among Heroes

  Satisfied with the speed of his own guard squad, he nodded in approval.

  The interpreter beside Li De hastily shouted: "Don't be rude, this is Li De's advisor, no disrespect is allowed."

  But the man behind Li De was not so polite, and directly shouted: "Who are you, daring to point a gun at Comrade Li De, don't you want your life?"

  Li Xiaolong beside him said loudly: "He is Liu Hua, the captain of our Red Tenth Regiment." After finishing speaking, he stared at Li De and others without relaxing for a moment.

  "Heh heh, a small team leader, dare to come here and cause trouble. Someone, take him away for me." The person wearing glasses said.

  Seeing no one taking action, he became even more enraged, pulled out his own pistol, and just as the muzzle was about to point at Liu Hua, Liu Hua rushed forward again, grabbed his hand, twisted it with force, and snatched the pistol away.

  Just as he was about to grab the gun, a voice shouted "Stop, Comrade Bogu, stop!"

  It turned out that Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and Chairman Mao had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

  Seeing nothing had happened, several people let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  Liu Hua heard that it was Bo Gu, and seeing several great men walking over, immediately ordered the guards to put away their weapons and saluted them, saying: "Reporting to the leaders, Liu Hua, commander of the Red Tenth Regiment, reports for duty, please instruct."

  Several great men turned back and asked: "Comrade Bo Gu, what's going on? Are you really going to use guns?"

  "It was him, the leader of the Red Tenth Regiment, who actually pointed a gun at Comrade Li De, so I want to shoot him." Bo Gu said, pointing at Liu Hua Yang.

  The Red Tenth Regiment, that was a regiment that had always created miracles for itself. Upon hearing this, several great men looked towards Liu Hua.

  "I reported to several leaders, just now I saw Comrade Li De beating a Red Army soldier and even wanted to shoot him with a gun. I stopped it. Ask Comrade Li De why he beat our Red Army soldiers." After finishing speaking, he stared at Li De with a pair of eyes.

  The interpreter beside Li De said seriously, "Because these warriors lost the battle and lost their position, they are cowards and must be severely punished. What right do you have to interfere with Li De's consultation?"

  Bo Gu, who was behind him, also hastened to say: "Comrade Li De, as the representative of the Communist International, has the right to punish soldiers. You are just a small regimental commander, what right do you have to interfere with Comrade Li De?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Hua with arrogance, as if Liu Hua was about to become his subordinate prisoner immediately.

  At this time, several central leaders were looking at Liu Hua, worried that the young warrior who had created countless miracles for the Red Army would fall under Li De's gun again.

  However, Liu Hua did not feel afraid because of his words, which disappointed Bo Gu and others. He glanced at Bo Gu, Li De and others, and smiled at Bo Gu.

  "Comrade Shou Zhang, I'd like to ask you a question: Is Comrade Li De the representative sent by the Communist International or an advisor?"

  "Does it make a difference? Comrade Li De is an advisor sent by the Communist International," Bogu said, still looking at Liu Hua with disdain, unaware that he had already fallen into Liu's trap.

  "Thank you, Chief, for answering my question." Liu Hua said with a hint of a smile.

  The people next to him were originally curious about Liu Hua, and when they saw him facing Bo Gu and others without changing his expression, they became even more curious. Seeing Liu Hua's smiling response, everyone knew there must be a follow-up, so they all listened quietly.

  "Everyone here is a knowledgeable person, I would like to ask everyone, what does the term 'consultant' mean?"

  Several leaders fell silent, and Bogu's face suddenly changed color.

  Liu Hua continued: "Comrade Bo Gu, let me explain to you: an advisor, as the name suggests, is someone who asks questions when they think of it, but doesn't have the power to make decisions or take action. Therefore, Comrade Li De, as an advisor sent by the Communist International to our Red Army, only has the right to make suggestions and does not have the power to make decisions or punish our soldiers."

  After finishing speaking, he looked at Bo Gu with a smile.

  After hearing Liu Hua's words, Bo Gu's face suddenly turned white and he didn't know what to say.

  "Comrade Li De was wrong to beat and scold the warriors, but your guard pointed a gun at the advisor, that's your fault, so you still made a mistake." At this time, a young cadre behind Bogu said.

  Bo Gu's face turned white and then red again after hearing this, looking at Liu Hua with a pleased expression, as if saying: "You little boy, just wait for your death, dare to fight me?"

  Liu Hua looked at Bo Gu's constantly changing facial expression and almost burst out laughing.

  "May I ask who this leader is?" Liu Hua asked.

  "Is this Comrade K'aifeng?" Vice-Chairman Chou immediately introduced him as he saw Liu Hua in danger once again.

  "Comrade Kefeng, I think the captain must not have led troops before. I'd like to ask the captain, what is the responsibility of the guards?" He said with a smile, looking at Bogu and others again.

  "The bodyguard's duty is to unconditionally protect their superior, no matter what the reason. Today, Comrade Liu Hua's bodyguards not only did nothing wrong, but should also be commended. Because they fulfilled their duties."

  Commander-in-Chief Zhu, who had rushed over, saw Bo Gu and the others bullying a Red Army hero like this and finally couldn't bear it anymore, angrily saying.

  Bo Gu's face turned white, and the lifesaving straw he had finally grasped was actually another trap.

  Liu Hua saw that the leaders had all fallen into deep thought and felt that it was enough. He gave a standard military salute to several great men, saying:

  "Reporting to several leaders, the Red Tenth Regiment will return to the east bank to receive troops crossing the river, please take care of your bodies."

  "The whole Red Tenth Regiment is present! Salute to our leader!" Liu Hua shouted loudly.

  With applause, several great men finally came back to their senses. Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said:

  "I wish our heroic Red Tenth Regiment will make new achievements again," he said, and gave a military salute to all the soldiers of the Red Tenth Regiment.

  At this time, the chairman who had been silent all along also walked over with a smile.

  "Comrade Liu Hua, thank you! You brought miracles to our Red Army. We hope you will continue to make efforts and achieve new merits for the revolution. We are all waiting for your good news."

  "Yes, I will resolutely complete the task." Liu Hua replied hastily and saluted again.

  Watching Liu Hua's receding back, *smiled, Wang Jiaxiang also smiled.......

  Liu Hua didn't know that because of his words today, * and others suddenly saw hope.

  "Comrades, it's time for us to do our thing, let's go!" Old Mao said with a hint of a smile to Jianxiang. After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked away.
