A very simple red cloth hung on the wall, with no seams on the edges, and it looked sloppy. "We Chinese like red, and when we see red, we will think of revolution. Let's set the party flag as a red flag for the time being. As for the coat of arms above, it is too late to determine today. Later, when we have time, we will meet again to discuss. Chen Ke said in a serious tone.

No one raised any objections, and there was really no need to spend too much time on it with so much work now.

Chen Tianhua was very emotional after hearing this. Whether it is the Huaxing Association or the Alliance Association, the time spent on the flag, emblem, and various details is very large. Especially the Alliance, when Chen Tianhua was still in Shanghai. Later, I heard people talk about the situation at that time, it was really a funny show.

During the discussion of the flag of the League and the future flag of the Republic of China, there was a heated debate. Sun Li advocated the use of the blue sky and white sun flag, but there were many objections. There are 18-star flags, there are gold melon axe flags, Liao Zhongkai advocates tic-tac-toe flags, and some people advocate 5-color flags. Huang thought that the form of the blue sky and white sun flag was not beautiful, so Sun Yat-sen added red ground to the top, and became a red flag full of blue sky and white sun, but it still did not pass. After Liu Kuiyi's mediation, various plans were retained as pending cases. Although the national flag was not fixed, later the revolutionary army used the red flag of the blue sky and the white sun as the banner, and Huang Xingdie served as the commander, and there was no objection for the sake of the overall situation.

In order to discuss the flag of an alliance, it took more than three days to change the draft. And the so-called "future Republic of China" is simply far away. The comrades of the League are overseas, and many of them are still wanted, and they can't even make the road legally public. But for the sake of the national flag of this illusory future country, it took so much energy to discuss and argue, and as a result, the national flag plan was "kept as an unsolved case".

Chen Tianhua knows very well that it is not that this flag is really difficult to draw. Instead, all parties should strive for the elaboration of their own political ideas through the flag and emblem, and strive to establish their own political ideas to become the mainstream.

Compared with the People's Party, the League is a group of divided charlatans with no completely unanimous political program. Even if it is the most basic concept of political system, there is no agreement within the League. Sun Yat-sen advocated a complete copy of the American model, and in this regard, the Huaxing Society reached an alliance with Sun Yat-sen after accepting Sun Yat-sen's concept of nation-building. Previously, the Huaxing Society did not even have a vision of a new Chinese political system, and only hoped to build up its own armed forces to eliminate the Manchu forces in Hunan. As for the Restoration Society, it hoped to establish a new dynasty. As for the republican system, the Liberation Society has no interest in it.

The BJP is completely different and has established its own political philosophy before it was founded. Chen Tianhua himself admits that this political concept is far stronger than those ideas of the League.

Looking at the surrounding People's Party comrades, there are only eight people who bring themselves, and compared with the number of people who participated in the formation of the League, this number is not comparable at all. But the complexity of the background is not inferior. This party, which should have had a fierce quarrel, did not have such a situation at all. Chen Tianhua still remembers how at the meeting of the League, the crowd argued endlessly around some trivial things that now seem to be trivial at all. If Chen Tianhua hadn't met Chen Ke and hadn't written a book on materialist dialectics with Chen Ke, he would probably have fallen into such a chaotic whirlpool.

When Chen Tianhua tried to talk about his political ideas at the meeting of the League, he suddenly discovered a very ridiculous thing. Why do you want to engage in such seemingly boring quarrels with the Confederacy comrades from all sides? Chen Tianhua suddenly figured it out. Sun Yat-sen, such overseas people, did not regard China as their own country at all. So their proposition is nothing more than to seize the leadership of China. Standing on a so-called moral high ground is a necessity for Sun Yat-sen. Since China is not under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, there will be nothing to lose to those overseas factions represented by Sun Yat-sen if any compromise is made and any "advanced ideas" are spoken. As long as someone responds to him, it is a pure gain.

The Guangfuhui is a political party rooted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and what they want to do is to ensure the interests of the gentry class in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who have been threatened by foreign countries. They absolutely want to protect the basic economic foundation of the existing regime, the landlords are the real core of China. The new dynasty they hoped to establish was one that could defend the economic interests of the landlords and resist foreign invasions.

Regarding the attitude of these political parties, Chen Ke has already told Chen Tianhua very clearly. But Chen Tianhua felt that Chen Ke "lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." It wasn't until he met with these "gentlemen" in person that he understood that Chen Ke did not have any deception and slander.

Chen Tianhua stood in the middle of the meeting, and he already understood that the people's revolutionary concept he put forward would undoubtedly be opposed by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Restoration Association. And Sun Yat-sen may not be able to accept this more advanced concept. Because Chen Tianhua is undoubtedly "robbing him of business". Therefore, Chen Tianhua, who is usually eloquent, is very eloquent, and the talkative Chen Tianhua is timid and vague. Because he's also watching what his words are doing. Whenever they came into contact with the concept of the people's revolution, the representatives of the landlord background unconsciously frowned, and the faces of Sun Yat-sen and other overseas factions also showed disapproving looks. Once Chen Tianhua changed the number of paths and said that it was in line with the concept of a certain party, the people of that faction would have a satisfied look on their faces. And the opposing factions began to show dissatisfied expressions.

When Chen Tianhua finished speaking, he found that his entire statement was a completely contradictory and very distorted set of things. Compared with Chen Ke's systematic political concept, Chen Tianhua was ashamed and wanted to go underground. This is the reason why Chen Tianhua gave up his position as a cadre within the League. This is also the reason why Chen Tianhua brought a group of young people who can accept the materialist view of history back to the People's Party.

He was utterly disillusioned with the Alliance.

Before deciding to leave, Chen Tianhua and Song Jiaoren had a deep talk. Song Jiaoren had no concept of the people's revolution at all, and instinctively had no interest. Soong became a constitutional republican. No matter how Chen Tianhua tried to persuade Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren was "obsessed". On the contrary, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chen Tianhua's idea of "the unreality of the people's revolution."

So Chen Tianhua made up his final mind to leave Japan and leave the League.

What is the people, what is society, what is the state, what is class. The political philosophy of the BJP never avoids these fundamental issues, and the political philosophy of the BJP strives to expound its views on these fundamental issues and to make the world as it really is. Comrades have a very much desire to learn to understand this kind of political concept without deception. At least that's the case with Chen Tianhua himself. The party's political program is like a magnet that Chen Tianhua has to look at and get close to.

In the theoretical part that the League did not dare to or did not want to engage with and deepen, the BJP poured almost all its strength into it. So when this red cloth was hung on the wall and Chen Ke asked everyone to swear to join the party on this red cloth, no one raised any objections to it. This would have been unthinkable in the League, but in the BJP, it would have been a matter of course.

Chen Ke faced everyone, turned his back to the party flag, raised his right hand in a straight posture, and clenched his fist shoulder to shoulder. The other seven comrades stood in a row facing the red flag and raised their right hands in the same posture.

"I swear." Chen Ke said.

"I swear." Comrades said together.

"I volunteered to join the Chinese People's Party."

"I volunteered to join the Chinese People's Party."

"Support the party's program."

"Support the party's program."

"Abide by the party's constitution."

"Abide by the party's constitution."

……

Everyone's voices were still a little uneven at the beginning, and even some comrades, such as how to do the way, there was still some cringe and uneasiness in their voices, but as they recited the oath with Chen Ke sentence by sentence, the voices of the comrades became more and more neat, and even their emotions gradually stabilized and highened. With like-minded comrades, everyone feels more powerful.

"Conservative secrets."

"Conservative secrets."

"Loyalty to the party."

"Loyalty to the party."

"Work actively."

"Work actively."

……

When Chen Ke took the oath before, he felt that these oaths were just some ordinary requirements, but they were just going through the motions. With his painstaking efforts to establish the People's Party, he became more and more aware of the importance of these oaths. The party members of that year were also ordinary people, who had neither three heads and six arms, nor could they ride the clouds. However, the party's history is truly engraved in China's history, and all party members have fulfilled their promises, and then completed unprecedented feats. When leading the comrades to read the oath, Chen Ke did not observe the comrades as he thought, on the contrary, he himself was a little worried. As the founder of this party, can you live up to this oath by example? Can every word and deed meet the standards of party members? Chen Ke is not very confident.

"We are ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people."

"We are ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people."

"Never betray the party!"

"Never betray the party!"

The oath was not long and ended quickly. Before taking the oath, Chen Ke had already shown the oath to everyone, and after reading the last sentence, all the comrades were a little excited, and many comrades looked at Chen Ke at a loss. An oath is just an oath, not some magic spell. After the speech, there will naturally be nothing earth-shattering. A high spirit excites people, and that's about it.

"Hand down." Chen Ke ordered.

All the comrades followed Chen Ke and lowered their arms. Sit back to your seat under Chen Ke's command.

"Our urgent task now is, on the one hand, to develop comrades, and on the other hand, to complete the existing work. Everyone took out the document of the Discipline Programme. ”

The documents had not yet been put away, and everyone picked up their own copies in front of them.

Chen Ke continued: "To accept new comrades, the party must be comrades who agree with our political program. At this stage, the party's important propositions must be kept secret. On this issue, I believe that it is necessary to divide the Party organization into two departments, one of which is responsible for propagating the Party's program. Another department is responsible for organizing production. ”

"The current propaganda is also aimed at these young people of the Whampoa Publishing House, right?" Qi will ask deeply.

Without waiting for Chen Ke to answer, Hua Xiongmao then asked: "The production department should be in charge of buying drugs to make money, right?" ”

Chen Tianhua was silent, and these two "old comrades," especially Hua Xiongmao, had already shown signs of parting ways with each other. In terms of lectures alone, Chen Tianhua thinks that he should be able to become the person in charge, or at least one of the leaders. As far as he knew, Wu Xingchen was also engaged in drug sales. Hua Xiongmao, as a more senior party member, at least has a certain status if he is in charge of the production department. Moreover, the history of Wu Xingchen's formal participation in the party meeting is even later than Chen Tianhua, and it is almost a sure thing that Hua Xiongmao will lead the production department.

Chen Tianhua raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Xingchen, only to see that Wu Xingchen still had the slightly cold expression he had in the past. For this secret contest, a picture of nothing to do with oneself and a look of hanging high. looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting in the head of memories, and saw that Chen Ke's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with the comrades' volunteering.

In the Huaxing Association and the Alliance Association, this kind of personnel arrangement is the most hurtful. Comrades who were originally equal status, suddenly divided into high and low, without exception, will cause dissatisfaction. Therefore, every department of the Huaxing Association is simply directly led by Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, while Chen Tianhua and others are all independently completed after receiving the task. In the League, there are many factions, and most of the so-called executive ministers are temporarily sealed, and there is no guarantee of execution at all. How exactly is Chen Ke going to deal with this problem? Chen Tianhua will wait and see.

Chen Ke is very clear about the enthusiasm and "self-motivation" of his comrades. It's also interesting to say, Chen Ke never cared about this kind of "self-motivation" before, and he was not interested in it. Along with his own party formation and party building, he never thought about these things, but when he really encountered these things, he could see them clearly.

These disputes must be resolved, and Chen Ke is quite dissatisfied with Hua Xiongmao's mentality, and the revolution should not be like this. It would be a mistake to do so. Chen Ke prepared to talk to Hua Xiongmao privately after the meeting. The first priority now is to address the current work schedule.

"Comrades, no matter what the rhetoric is about revolution, revolution must be accomplished by real work. Therefore, the comrades who are responsible for propagating our ideas and recruiting new party members, on the one hand, give lectures, and on the other hand, observe which people are very interested in our courses and are very active, and can be listed as development targets. The department in charge of production is not just about selling drugs and making money. Our school construction site has started, and we let the young people of Huangpu Book Club go to work on the construction site, just to observe which people are hardworking, hardworking and diligent, and can take the initiative to complete the work. Instead of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day. ”

After saying this, Chen Ke's gaze swept over everyone. Seeing that everyone was listening carefully to what they were saying, Chen Ke continued: "We hold a party meeting to communicate and summarize our work. Comrades in various departments should report on their work and also listen to the progress of other work. In this work of recruiting new party members, both the department in charge of propaganda and the department in charge of production should put forward a list of activists that they have discovered, and then select from these two lists young people who are politically active and equally active in work as our key targets. ”

Listening to Chen Ke's request, Chen Tianhua nodded yes. Not only Chen Tianhua, but other comrades also nodded. Even Wu Xingchen bowed slightly.

"Wen Qing, how to set this positive standard?" You asked.

"Let's dye and make medicine together, what is called diligence and hard work, what is called proactive. Don't you know? Chen Ke asked rhetorically.

"But Wen Qing personally led us to do it at that time, to be honest, I always feel ashamed of myself compared to you. It didn't feel like I was so proactive. ”

"If anyone is like Wenqing, then everyone can form a party." Hua Xiongmao said, "Wenqing, you mean to let the party members personally lead the work, just like we used to." You are a party member, we follow you, and when we see that you are so serious, we are naturally willing to do things with you. Isn't it? ”

"That's right." Chen Ke replied.

"I can do the work of this production department. The construction site over there started, Wenqing, you let the young people who came to listen to the class to work, it seems that it was premeditated. In addition to praise, Hua Xiongmao's voice also had a taste of triumph.

"Are you sure you can do the same thing as Wen Qing?" You asked him.

"Huh?"

"The work of Wenqing is not only hard, but also arranges the content that each of us is responsible for. Can you do it? Speaking of which, You Yan's tone was a little ill-intentioned. The work of young people is not only hard-working, proactive. More importantly, the attitude is modest and cautious, I have never seen Wen Qing ever look complacent. ”

Chen Ke didn't want to make this clear so early. Although it must be admitted that You Yu was not wrong, Hua Xiongmao was proud. This is not true. But it is better to talk about this matter in private, so that it is very easy to exacerbate the contradiction and turn it into a dispute of righteousness. Everyone here probably saw Hua Xiongmao's mistake, but everyone didn't say anything. Chen Ke can also criticize Hua Xiongmao in private, and then persuade Hua Xiongmao to publicly do a self-criticism. Everyone has self-esteem, especially in China, where the Chinese are the most face-conscious. Convincing Hua Xiongmao to make self-criticism is already a very remarkable project. This can be said to be the real precedent of "criticism and self-criticism" within the party. That's what Chen Ke originally thought.

Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao have been together for the longest time, and they know that Hua Xiongmao has a straightforward personality and is by no means a bad person. But Hua Xiongmao is a good person again, he is an advanced young man in this era, but he is still a person in the late Qing Dynasty. In this era of the universal pursuit of hierarchy and privilege, and in this era of believing that hierarchy and privilege are a matter of course, no matter how advanced Hua Xiongmao is, it is impossible to achieve the ideological realm that many party members have not been able to truly achieve 40 years later. What's more, it was You Gu who fired the cannon, and You Yu was still a woman. The idea of the inferiority of men and women is a deep-rooted tradition in this era. No matter what they say about promoting equality between men and women, everyone still doesn't think so.

As Chen Ke expected, as soon as You Wei finished speaking, Hua Xiongmao's face changed. Hua Xiongmao has a straightforward temperament and can't hide his emotions, and only a small part of his face is ashamed, and more is angry.

Seeing this, Chen Ke's mind began to spin rapidly, how to solve this problem with both politics and methods? When the People's Party was founded, there was no political commissar at all, and now Chen Ke is the political commissar in the party. Chen Ke knows that in the face of the conflict that has broken out today, he must solve this contradiction and problem, and this is a responsibility that he cannot evade. If Chen Ke can't do it, it can only mean that Chen Ke is an unqualified leader. Now with so many party members, Chen Ke can't do political work well. Not to mention the complicated situation that followed the development of the revolution.

Looking at the emotional Hua Xiongmao, Chen Keqiang suppressed his anxiety and said to himself three times. "I have to be calm. I have to be calm, I have to be calm. As he spoke, Chen Ke closed his eyes.
