Chapter 200: The "Society" Army
The rain in the small courtyard seemed to have gradually stopped, and the air seemed to be exceptionally fresh after the rain in autumn, but the thirty-six soldiers in the small courtyard were in a somewhat solemn mood, standing together neatly according to their height, and raised their right hands in front of a bright star torch red flag in the courtyard.
"I swear!"
"I swear... As Xiao Xuan spoke, the thirty-six soldiers spoke in voices with somewhat different accents.
"I volunteered to join the China Datong Society, supported the society's ideas and agreed with the society's ideals. Travel agency staff obligations, respect the company's decisions, strictly abide by the company's discipline, and never rebel against the company. In order to finally realize the journey of the road, the world is for the public, forget the self, and be willing to sacrifice and contribute everything to the individual and even the family... ”
Xiao Xuan still didn't plan to use the word "party" in the end. Because in this era, this word really has too many derogatory connotations, what is a party for personal gain, and a gentleman is not a party. In contrast, the word "she" invented by the Donglin Party is better. What is "Fushe" and "Donglin Society", the difference between one word gives people a completely different feeling. As for words such as "Datong" and "the world is for the public", of course, it is to block the mouths of some people. It is the so-called method of attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son to clearly express the ultimate ideal.
As for whether the social path of the world is suitable for the national conditions of this era, it is of course secondary to Xiao Xuan at this time, and there should be a way to transform or amend. The most important thing is this: if we do not reject private property in the ultimate ideal, at least in the long term, but instead pursue the idea of social democracy such as the iron-blooded Republic of China and the dream of the Celestial Empire, we will not be able to exclude the most likely speculators to the greatest extent during the war years.
In fact, this is a statement of nomination: if you want to join the society and realize the ideals of the society, you should not imagine that the privileged interests and wealth of your children and grandchildren will last for generations. Even if you are temporarily allowed to have a society of private ownership for decades or even hundreds of years, and even allow the existence of the exploiting class or even "exploitation" and "long live the sweatshop" during your lifetime, in the long run, you will not be able to use the "natural ideal" of "glorifying your ancestors" as your fundamental purpose.
Only in this way can we exclude other speculators like Xiao Xuan himself from the management to the greatest extent, at least in the process of starting out with enough war years.
This may be the biggest difference between the "real revolution" in the Republic of China era and the "fake revolution" such as the Jiang family. If too many people who want to "glorify their ancestors" or "realize their personal values" like the protagonists of the overhead are mixed into the organization, it will undoubtedly affect the purity of military construction. If you can't win the war, you can't save China, everything is nonsense, what social path can we talk about to integrate the national conditions, and what road can develop China?
However, at this moment, for these thirty-six selected backbones, Xiao Xuan's concerns still seem to be superfluous, most of these are from the lower class in Shandong, and it can almost be said that they are simple people who are one in a thousand miles and have no speculators. At least the battlefield is the most effective test room in the world to test people's hearts.
No matter how much things are usually done, how loyal they are, how good they are at acting, and how many people are separated from each other, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and if you don't dare to die, this will make many laymen and mediocre people appear in their original form like monsters meeting demon mirrors. There may be demons and monsters who can pass this test, but such demons and monsters can only temporarily become the "deep sea", as long as they do not cause too much chaos during the war years, and the idealists in the team can account for an absolute proportion.
"Do you know what is the fundamental purpose of establishing the Cosmos Society in the military?" Xiao Xuan suddenly asked at this time.
Xiao Xuan didn't teach everyone before, these qualities and courage were realized, but the warriors whose intelligence was not particularly outstanding seemed to know where to start for a while. In the end, it was the middle-aged man in his thirties who had experienced some things that spoke first: "I think that the establishment of a society that can be more consolidated in thought." It's to influence more people and let more people join the company... ”
"Wrong!" Xiao Xuan said solemnly at this time: "What Datong Society needs is not some people who are verbally loyal, but people who are sincerely and truly willing to sacrifice everything for their ideals. Not only should comrades supervise each other, but they should detach themselves from vulgar partisan thinking and righteous thinking, and do everything to serve the needs of the realization of ideals. In the future, it is necessary to establish a reserve membership system for those who are preparing to join the company. Even during the war years, one had to pass more than two battles or the test of about half a year to truly identify the person as one's comrade before he could develop into a full-fledged member. Truth be told, you are brave and loyal warriors on the battlefield, but you may not be so good at recognizing people. In order to identify the people around you to the greatest extent and strive for excellence in the development of members, generally speaking, the number of members expanded within a year should not exceed the original number as much as possible. In the future, the company will set up a community group on the squad-level team of the newly built infantry company, and the community group will regularly discuss and hold meetings, establish meeting minutes, and screen everyone in the squad. The maximum number of people in the class is 12, and there are 9 classes in the whole company. The social committee is established at the level above the group. These thirty-six of you are the backbone of a newly formed company... ”
"Does the backbone of the society mean the meaning of an officer?" At this time, someone suddenly asked.
"Wrong, of course the backbone of the society is not what the officers meant." Xiao Xuan said solemnly: "You must keep in mind that all positions in the social organization are not officials. You are still ordinary soldiers, and not only should you not have any privileges in training or fighting, but you should also lead by example. If there is a platoon in battle, the casualty rate of the members of the club is significantly lower than that of the soldiers. Since you are not an officer, you have any authority over command and training arrangements, and you only have the functions of assisting officers in commanding and being responsible for the ideological building and training management of the troops. I will discuss the specific requirements in more detail in the next time, and I will also tell you how to carry out education, and even some basic principles for democracy and centralism in the ranks and the establishment of a new type of relationship between officers and soldiers... ”
In fact, the decision of the two-long system, rather than the one-chief system of the party committee similar to the Red Fourth Front Army in history or the Soviet Red Army in World War II, was also the result of Xiao Xuan's careful consideration. In general, with Shandong as the main source of troops, the quality of the source of troops is very different from that of Hubei, Henan and Anhui. If we fail to create a relatively good atmosphere for the armed forces, and if we form a clear contrast with the old era as a whole, it is obvious that we will encounter problems of one kind or another in terms of political education and expansion.
