Chen Ke's love for the Dabie Mountains comes entirely from the inheritance of history, and this hard-lived area has many red counties, Jiangjun counties. In the revolutionary cause, hundreds of thousands of outstanding sons and daughters have contributed to the Dabie Mountains. The total population of this area is only five or six million. If it had not been for the fact that they had not been forced by life to the point that they could not survive without revolution, it would have been absolutely impossible for so many masses to embark on the revolutionary road.

The reason why there was no development here before was that Chen Ke was not worried that the masses would not be revolutionary. He was worried that the BJP was not revolutionary enough to really mobilize the masses. For the advance team, Chen Ke is carefully selected. It is necessary not only to ensure the revolutionary nature of the team to the greatest extent, but also to ensure that there is enough momentum in this team. It is necessary to ensure that the cadres and fighters in the ranks have a true understanding and sympathy for the suffering masses. If it is a "foreigner" who carries out the revolutionary cause with pity and a lofty attitude, then it is better not to go.

"You must not be arrogant! It is absolutely forbidden to look at the local people with a condescending mentality. It is true that the Dabie Mountain area is very poor, but being poor does not mean that people are inferior in personality. We are not going to lead the masses from above, but to sink down and mobilize the masses. Chen Ke repeatedly stressed to the comrades of the Central Military Commission, but he was still not at ease. In fact, these days, Chen Ke has been seriously considering whether to personally lead the team to the Dabie Mountain area.

"Chairman Chen, Comrade He Zudao has been arranged to go to the Dabie Mountain area, what else can I not worry about?" Hua Xiongmao rarely saw Chen Ke so anxious, and he couldn't help but say.

"Comrade He Zudao may be more suitable to preside over the restoration work in the base area." Chen Ke spoke his mind. The comrades of the Central Military Commission were actually very puzzled by the arrangement for He Zudao to go to work in Dabie Mountain, and when they heard Chen Ke say this, several people showed joy.

"If I don't think it's possible, it might be more appropriate for me to lead the team myself." Chen Ke's next words surprised the comrades of the Central Military Commission.

"Chairman Chen, if you are not there, who will preside over the work? Is the Dabie Mountain area so good? "The meeting of the Military Commission immediately blew up.

Chen Ke waved his hand to calm everyone down, "Comrades, I now feel that I have begun to break away from the masses, and I have no grasp of the work that is about to be carried out. I now need to go to various places in person. Moreover, there are party committees in the base areas, and even if I am not in the central government, everyone completes their work through the party committees in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism, and I think there should be no problem. ”

"Negotiations with Beiyang, the issue of machinery production, the judgment of foreign relations. Chairman Chen, who will preside over your departure? Hua Xiongmao immediately came out to object.

Chen Ke replied: "I have talked to you about these points, even if I am not in the central government, everyone can work according to their own understanding." What are you worried about? ”

"We are worried that we will not be able to do it to the extent of Chairman Chen, and it will be completely up to us, and there will definitely be mistakes." Hua Xiongmao said it very bluntly. The comrades of the Military Commissariat were not angry, this is the opinion of all comrades.

"Comrades, everyone's attitude is very right, at least you know how to be modest and cautious. A comrade who knows how to be modest and prudent, and a comrade who knows that he is not good at his job, will not make the mistake of making rash advances. However, the work is now here, and although I am now resolutely demanding that the base areas be built well, we will eventually liberate the whole of China, and at that time everyone will be responsible for the work of each province, what will we do then? It's time for everyone to improve their abilities through work. ”

Chen Ke's words did not make the comrades feel relaxed, if the comrades and comrades were not convinced by Chen Ke before, now this kind of comrades no longer have such arrogance. The comrades of the Central Military Commission persuaded Chen Ke not to leave the Central Committee. Some people even said that if Chen Ke wanted to work in the local area, he had to pass the decision of the party Central Committee.

"Comrades, that's a good statement." Chen Ke couldn't help laughing out loud, the Party Central Committee was brought out to suppress Chen Ke's personal arbitrariness, which is indeed a good practice.

"I go to work in the local area, not only because I have a special view on the Dabie Mountain area, but also because I also need to accumulate experience in practical work. Now we are not under tremendous pressure from the outside, and my absence from the central government will not lead to disastrous results. I would like to talk to the comrades about the problem of the mistake mentioned by Comrade Fang Caixiongmao. We can't accept mistakes, but we can accept failures. If we couldn't accept failure before, now we can finally withstand the impact of failure. I'd like to talk to you about that. ”

Chen Ke gave a very simple example, this time to negotiate with Beiyang. It can be said that the People's Party failed in negotiations twice in a row, and failed once when meeting Yuan Shikai, and did not achieve the desired result. The first negotiation with Wang Shizhen also failed once, and the hope was also not reached. However, through the analysis of these two failures, the People's Party also touched Beiyang's idea, and finally the matter was negotiated as a whole. The People's Party got the steel it most wanted, and in a sense, it also reached a certain mutual trust with Yuan Shikai of Beiyang.

That's why it has been said that failure is the mother of success. Failure is not terrible at all, in fact, there are many failures and few successes. When I went to the Dabie Mountains this time, I had already been mentally prepared to fail at the beginning, who could succeed as soon as I got started? Chen Ke concluded.

"Then Chairman Chen, when we first arrived in Anhui, why did we never fail?" Someone asked.

"How do you say you haven't failed? At the earliest, we formed a fleet, and everyone couldn't row well on the oars, and the boat capsized when we went out for the first time, isn't that called failure? Chen Ke replied.

The crowd in the conference room burst into laughter, and the people here were either on the boat at the time, or they watched the comrades with ropes tied around their waists fall into the water because of the capsizing of the boat. The comrades were frightened at the time, but in retrospect they find those days of suffering so exciting.

"We have experienced failure after failure, and we have kept meeting to summarize and study. Keep looking for people to ask for advice, so as to have today's success. In the future, we will only make more mistakes, not less. Speaking of the past, Chen Ke also has the same high spirit, "But, comrades. We are where we are today because we have not made mistakes. Failure is because we don't grasp the law of things, and we will naturally fail. If we do not adhere to the line of the people's revolution, if we adhere to the line of opposition to exploitation, then we are making mistakes. If we had made such mistakes, we would never have succeeded today. Just as we would never have succeeded today without so many failures. ”

Hua Xiongmao nodded slightly, looking back now, everyone has indeed experienced too many failures, but they have never made mistakes. "Chairman Chen, do you mean that if we launch the revolutionary movement in Dabie Mountain with a lofty mentality, we will make a mistake?"

"Yes, this is definitely a big mistake, and this mentality is a betrayal of the people's revolution. We must rely on the masses of the people and mobilize the masses of the people. The essence of the people's revolution lies in the fact that it is the people who need to solve the problems they encounter through revolution. Therefore, the revolution itself is already conceived among the people, and what we have to do is to help the people to realize the revolution. This is not to say that just killing a few local tyrants and inferior gentry, overthrowing the landlords and dividing the land is a revolution. Revolution is about overthrowing the old system and establishing a new one. This requires a full understanding of the old system and a deep understanding and sympathy for the masses of the people. ”

As the comrades listened to Chen Ke's exposition of their theoretical understanding, Fang Cai's excitement calmed down.

Chen Ke did not seem to have any intention of restoring calm to his comrades, and he continued: "Although I know this, I have not done enough. My consciousness in this regard is far less than that of many comrades. Now I have my strengths and strengths in formulating the system, but I have not worked at the grassroots level for too long, and I have never been to the Dabie Mountains, because of the lack of practice, I have the problem of disconnection between theory and practice. So I need to go to the local area and actually work. ”

At this point, Chen Ke had convinced the comrades of the Military Commission, even if most of the comrades were still unwilling to let Chen Ke go to the Dabie Mountains. However, the comrades also admitted that Chen Ke's reason for going to work in the local area was reasonable.

Chen Ke saw that his comrades began to understand what he said, and he was also relieved. In the things that have been greatly developed in the base area, Chen Ke has increasingly discovered his most fatal flaw. All the knowledge he received in the twenty-first century, all the training he received was to portray Chen Ke as a "capable professional technocrat" rather than a professional revolutionary in the true sense of the word. This is why Chen Ke can easily get support among young people with knowledge. These young people were originally from the old bureaucratic system, and they really "smelled like" with Chen Ke. Even if there is a different view of the world, it is only based on the gap between scientific knowledge and social knowledge. In essence, the earliest group of the BJP was entirely a class.

If you want to reverse this defect, there is no other way than to go to the front line to work in person. In fact, Chen Ke is also worried that there will be mistakes in many jobs, but these jobs are external work. In other words, as long as the People's Party can maintain its strong position, the other side will have to pinch their noses and admit many things before they completely change the balance of strength between the two sides. However, the only way to maintain the dominant position of the People's Party is to continue to deepen the Party's party building and base area building. Chen Ke firmly believes that if he wants to improve his theoretical level, he can only rely on a lot of practical work.

After convincing the comrades of the Central Military Commission, Chen Ke convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. After some discussion, the comrades also accepted Chen Ke's opinion. It was agreed that Chen Ke would personally lead the team to work in the local area. As for the Standing Committee members outside, Chen Ke will definitely have to deal with them, needless to say, at least the secretary of the Lu'an County Party Committee will have a long-term relationship with Chen Ke.
