Chapter 741: The general direction of North Korea is set
August 25, 1944. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Yan'an.
The air in Yan'an is dry and fresh, and the evening breeze is cool, completely different from the salty sea breeze in Dalian.
The sheep returned to the village in the setting sun, and a puff of dust was raised behind the sheep. An idyllic scene.
In recent years, various factories have been opened one after another, and there are various factories in Yan'an City and some villages and towns near Yan'an. In recent years, not only locals have come to work in factories, but also many young people from other places have come to work here.
Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and even Gansu and Qinghai have continuously flowed into Yan'an through various channels, and various products have flowed out of Yan'an. Yan'an started with oil fields in the north, several small coal-fired power plants were built, and various factories were very prosperous.
The roar of the machine is mixed with the sound of cattle and sheep, a strange and harmonious scene.
is different from the idyllic songs of Yangjialing, and the atmosphere in Mao's house is very serious. The Standing Committee members of the Political and Governance Bureau in Yan'an are all there, and there are two people who are not members of the Standing Committee, Xiaolu and Wuting.
Xiaolu is reporting on the military deployment of the Northeast Coalition Army: "According to the instructions of the Central Committee, Yang Jingyu's troops suffered great losses because they participated in the campaign to eliminate nearly 70,000 Japanese troops, like the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. They are preparing, preparing to do the second echelon to enter the DPRK. Zhao Shangzhi's campaign of concentrating on the Shandong Peninsula was over, and he was being transported back to Dalian by warship. ā
Hu Fu: "Their troops in Shandong gave a large number of weapons to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Empty-handed back to the Northeast. ā
Xiaolu continued to report: "Zhao Shangzhi's base in Dalian is preparing equipment to advance to North Korea from the water and land. The third route is Zhou Baozhong's troops, who have assembled in an area ranging from 50 to 100 kilometers north of Pyongyang, together with the air force, artillery, and tank units. At the moment, they are the best prepared to go this way. ā
Mr. Zhu interjected: "The Japanese in Korea already knew the arrangement of Zhou Baozhong's troops, and built defensive fronts from Seoul to Pyongyang. Their artillery positions were well laid out and difficult to deal with. ā
Mao Gong: "North Korea is a springboard, they use it to attack us and the Soviet Union, of course they know, we will also use this springboard to attack them." Unsurprisingly, they will be very careful to decorate. We need to be careful to investigate and formulate countermeasures. ā
Xiaolu said: "The information that came from our inner line in Japan, the Japanese are very concerned, saying that several units of the Second Army of the Northeast Coalition Army have disappeared, and they must be on the Korean Peninsula, and they are going to attack Korea, and then attack Japan." This is talking about the troops in which we study weapons. So, the Japanese laid out the defense line in Korea and Japan. We have judged that with regard to the advance into Korea and the invasion of Japan, we should learn from Britain and plan a good strategic deception. ā
Mr. Zhu: "The Navy and the Marine Corps must be used well." The other day in Dalian, I took a look at the training of the Marine Corps, there is potential. If you use it well, you can take on a big responsibility. ā
Mao Gong: "Attacking North Korea is nothing more than two roads, one land and one water. In the future, if you attack the Japanese mainland, you will have more options. One of the most important issues regarding the invasion of Korea is the issue of the establishment of the DPRK. We believe that Comrade Wu Ting is a staunch communist fighter, a time-tested anti-Japanese fighter, and an outstanding internationalist fighter. All of our Standing Committee, the Northeast Bureau, and the North China Bureau, believe that Comrade Wu Ting is a suitable leader for the Korean Peninsula. It's time to build a new country. Comrade Wu Ting, please talk about your preparations. ā
Wu Ting: "Thank you for your comments on me. The construction of a Democratic People's Republic of Korea is impossible without China's support. North Korea and China: You have me, I have you. Inseparable. The establishment of a political, military, and economic alliance between the DPRK and China is the foundation for the founding of the DPRK. This is a decision based on tradition and history. I have discussed it with some North Korean comrades in Yan'an, and this is our first resolution, and I will discuss it with you. ā
Everyone nodded.
Wu Ting: "We also discussed the issue of candidates, and basically maintained the pattern of Yan'an cadres as the mainstay, and at the same time absorbed forces from all walks of life to participate. ā
Mao Gong: "It's a united government, and although there are still some people who haven't been contacted, the people who have been contacted are very happy. At this stage, Comrade Wu Ting led the working group to do a great deal of work in the DPRK, which was the aspiration of the people. ā
Mr. Zhu: "As for the military alliance, we can sign one, but we do not yet have the power of the state, it is only a secret agreement, and it is between the party." ā
Xiaolu: "It needs to be mentioned that Comrade Vuting's party building work in the DPRK is progressing smoothly. This is the foundation of success. ā
Wu Ting: "Next, let me talk about the issue of army building. In order to unite more people, our army is called the Korean People's Army. The army consisted mainly of North Korean detachments from the Northeastern Coalition Army. Now, the army trains with Zhou Baozhong's Second Army. Because everyone has just separated, it often happens that they go to the wrong barracks. ā
Mr. Zhu: "Are we originally a family?" ā
Mao Gong: "We will still be a family in the future." ā
Wu Ting: "In the Korean colony, there are more than 100,000 puppet police and security forces. In order to expand our army, we also hope to adopt the policy of the Northeast Coalition Army and strive for an uprising. What do you think? ā
Xiaolu: "Regarding the transformation of the old army, we have experience and lessons. Some of the puppet army is fine, but some of them will be erratic. Because the mass base in the enemy-occupied areas of the DPRK is not good, I suggest that they be strict and let them work more for reform. The days of the Northeast as a colony are not long, and Korea is different, fifty years. We, the Northeast Bureau, are worried that being too lenient with these old police and old troops will threaten Comrade Wu Ting's leadership position. We must ensure that the party, government, and military of the DPRK are firmly in the hands of the correct forces. In addition, it is hoped that the experience of the DPRK will be helpful to our work in Taiwan. ā
Wu Ting: "Although our army is too weak, there are only more than 50,000 people. I have a wish, in the future, we will send troops. This requires a very thorough integration of all forces on the Korean peninsula. ā
Of the 50,000 people, 40,000 were Choi Hyung-sik's troops, and a few thousand were Li Hongguang and others' troops who went from Tonghua. Moreover, a small half of these 50,000 people are Han Chinese, or have Han relatives and Han spouses.
Xiaolu: "I understand that you need more troops to fight against North Korea. Then I'll revise my thinking. These Korean puppet soldiers can let them go to Japan to make trouble, but they must not make trouble in Korea. Anyone who threatens the rule of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, anyone who threatens the authority of the government with you at its core, we do not want to see him in power. ā
Mao Gong: "Who are you referring to?" ā
Xiaolu: "A while ago, underground workers in North Korea reported that the puppet army and puppet police in North Korea also felt that Japan's life would not last long, and they were in contact with the United States and Chongqing. Also, the United States is also supporting Syngman Rhee. ā
Ren Gong: "New information? ā
Xiaolu: "I received it after I arrived in Yan'an." It was only analyzed and sorted out a few hours ago. As he spoke, he handed a folder to Mao Gong.
In fact, in addition to Syngman Rhee, Kim Yixing is also eager to try and want to go back and do a career in the process of founding the country. Xiao Lu did not mention him at the meeting, however, Jin Yixing and others have been absorbed into the Security Bureau, doing some confidential work, and he is very professional, Xiao Lu hopes that he will not show up again. It's unlikely that an invisible person will be a leader.
Ren Gong: "What did the Soviet Union and the United States think about the founding of North Korea?" Will the United States send back the people they have cultivated and engage in two Koreas? Would the USSR agree with our ideas? ā
Mao Gong: "The United States has a request for us. Once we lose our usefulness, they will seek a sphere of influence here. So, on the one hand, we have to talk, and on the other hand, we have to move quickly. As for the USSR, they are just afraid that they will not be able to take care of it here. ā
Wu Ting: "The situation is a bit complicated. Mr. Jin Jiu is also going to bring back a group of people, and there are also people who have different ideas among them. ā
Xiaolu: "North Korean exiles in China have always been supported by Chongqing and given them a lot of convenience. They were internally discordant, and often a provisional government was organized and immediately split and dissolved. Whoever comes to power, there are people who rebel. They don't make the climate. However, if Lao Jiang strengthened his support for a certain party, it would be different. I agree with the President's words. Be quick, and get things done before Chongqing has the energy to ask questions. ā
Mr. Zhu said: "I have confidence in Choi Hyung-sik and the leaders of Li Hongguang's detachment. ā
Xiaolu: "In addition, I have another proposal, which is an idea that some of the leaders of our Northeast Bureau just came up with, and on the way I got angry with Mr. Zhu, and went to Yan'an to talk briefly to Chairman Ye. ā
Mr. Zhu said: "You say it boldly. When we meet, we gather everyone's wisdom. ā
Xiaolu: "China and North Korea have been a country of relatives and brothers for thousands of years. It is hoped that Chairman Wu will include the establishment of a political and military alliance with China in his future constitution. The mutual recognition of the peoples of the two countries is the basis of this great friendship. In order to strengthen this foundation, the two countries have written into the constitution free intermarriage, free communication, correspondence, free movement of goods, avoidance of double taxation, no border checks for personal exchanges, mutual recognition of laws, mutual recognition of academic qualifications, etc. The identity of the people is even more important than military alliances. ā
Wu Ting: "The founding of the DPRK and China are called fraternal allies, which is a national policy. It's an interesting idea to use the law to determine it. As for those details you mentioned, we can all take it into account. ā
Mao Gong: "On the Chinese side, we are not a political party in power, so we can't do that, but in the areas we control, we will do what North Korea calls a political-military alliance." ā
Mr. Zhu: "There are many Koreans in the Northeast, and there are also many Han people in North Korea. Over the years, it has taken root. Guaranteeing the freedom of movement of the people is beneficial to the people and is a good policy that wins the hearts of the people. ā
Wu Ting: "The founding of the DPRK must be supported by the people. The people's will is the most important thing. ā
Xiaolu: "In addition, our Northeast Bureau has done the work of cultivating talents. We have allocated a sum of money to sponsor Korean students to study in universities in North China, so that they can complete their studies as soon as possible and serve the construction of North Korea. If you need to come to Yan'an to study, we will also pay for it. ā
Mao Gong: "I think everyone is happy." This is the general direction of affairs in North Korea, and the people of the two central committees met to negotiate some details. Let's study the new intelligence again and analyze the big picture. The march into Korea should be considered in conjunction with the anti-fascist situation in Asia. Let's talk about Japan and Taiwan. ā
Wu Ting: "Okay. The North Korean nuclear and Japanese situations are inextricably linked. If Korea is restored and the country is built, if the Japanese problem is not resolved, it will not be safe after all, as if there are tens of millions of tons of big stones hanging over its head. ā
