Chapter 609: The Light Ahead (continued)
The Sixth Central Committee of the Sixth Central Committee was the first plenary meeting of the Central Committee held after the Long March.
Because there is a base area in Shaanxi, the conditions are much better than in history, so there are many people attending the meeting, "representing party organizations and party members from various regions and all aspects."
The leaders of the Long March, the main force of the Red Army, had a certain understanding of Liu Yimin from the beginning of the passage, and had a certain understanding of his thoughts and propositions. However, there are still some comrades who have not participated in the Long March, and they do not know Liu Yimin, let alone understand his thoughts. Therefore, before he spoke, Liu Yimin had thought about that some things could not be said casually, especially those involving the Soviet Union, which were very sensitive and could not be analyzed and judged casually.
Liu Yimin came from the period of peaceful development in later generations, and with the declassification of various archives, he had a very clear understanding of Sino-foreign relations during the war period and beyond, knowing that the Soviet Union and the United States "supported China's war of resistance partly out of justice and helped the Chinese people resist aggression: partly out of their own security considerations, without the Chinese people's hard resistance, millions of Japanese troops with bright bayonets killed on any of them, it would be fatal; "Without this, there would have been no Cold War that lasted for half a century after the end of the war."
However, these things cannot be said now, "it will be misunderstood immediately, China is maturing step by step in the process of development, and pulling out the seedlings will not only not solve the problem, but will cause chaos."
Next, Liu Yimin's speech entered the last question: unite and fight for the defeat of Japanese imperialism and the establishment of a new China.
Because of the above series of analyses and judgments, it is relatively easy to talk about this issue again.
Liu Yimin affirmed that to unite, first of all, the whole party and the whole army should unite and make clear a goal of struggle, that is, to defeat the Japanese aggressors "and shed blood, sacrifice, struggle and struggle for this!" Second, "it is necessary to use the unity of our party and our army to promote and promote the unity of all political forces and armed forces in China, to form a posture of a nationwide war of resistance, a war of resistance of the whole people, and a war of resistance of the whole army, and to fight a people's war" to completely bury the aggressors.
Liu Yimin criticized three misconceptions here. A misconception is that we have overestimated the strength of our army, "believing that our army has already surpassed the strength of the Red Army and can completely compete with the Japanese army alone and defeat the Japanese army." On the contrary, the other erroneous understanding is that "since it is to establish an anti-Japanese united front," it is necessary to pass through the united front in everything, and "to obey the united front in everything." The third kind of misunderstanding is to take advantage of the opportunity of a big fight with the Japanese army to "bury one's head in development," ignore what is happening outside the window," and concentrate on building a base area.
Liu Yimin pointed out that the first erroneous understanding belongs to blind optimism, believing that our army will be invincible in the world after several victories and the establishment of an aviation brigade. In fact, "our army is still very weak, far from reaching the point of confronting all the Japanese troops invading China." If nothing else, just the supply of ammunition, it will kill our army. As far as the aviation brigade is concerned, "all the aviation ammunition comes from capture, and after a few air battles, the ammunition will run out, so how can you fight the Japanese army?" The same is true of the main force of our army, there is no stable logistical support system, "weapons and ammunition mainly rely on capture", "guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, chalky warfare, and annihilation warfare can be fought", "once the war of attrition and positional warfare with the Japanese army is fought, and the battlefield falls into a state of stalemate", then the shortcomings of our army will be undoubtedly exposed, and in the end I am afraid that we will have to retreat with tears. In addition, in addition to the systematization of the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition, "the officers of the Japanese army all went to the army school as a child, grew up to the non-commissioned officer school, and the army university, received strict tactical training, and had a relatively high level of operational command." The main reason why the instructors were able to win successive battles was that they concentrated their firepower and fought at the weakest time of the Japanese army. But the premise is that the Japanese army will point the spearhead of attack at the frontal battlefield of the first one, and there is no bloody sacrifice on the frontal battlefield to resist the main force of the Japanese army, can the instructor have one fighter after another? If the Japanese army gives up the attack and concentrates all its strength on attacking our army, then the Japanese army will have an absolute advantage. Those who practice martial arts know that one force will reduce ten, that is, in the face of the absolute superiority of the main force of the Japanese army, "our resistance will become very difficult." If we fail to correctly understand our own strength and shortcomings now, and fight hard and confront the Japanese army head-on, then the outcome is doomed." You can imagine that there are only 300,000 or 400,000 Japanese troops in North China now, and if the Japanese army mobilizes the strength of the country and mobilizes a million troops to fight us, what will it be?
The second misconception is pure confusion and forgetting the bitter lessons of the April 12 coup. We advocate the establishment of an anti-Japanese united front in order to mobilize the strength of the whole country to resist aggression. In this united front, we must maintain our own independence, use our ideas and policies to influence, guide, and lead the united front, "so that this united front can persist," and truly play the role of leading the whole people's war of resistance. Chiang Kai-shek's words must be listened to, but they must be listened to in the part that is conducive to uniting the war of resistance. He wants to restrict the development of our party and our army, do you listen to this order? Fools know that they can't listen. If he listens to them all, he may be able to send all of us here to the execution ground at some point. We ** people are determined to die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, but some forces and some people may wander in the big waves. This also includes those who resolutely resisted Japan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, preserved their strength and even defected to the enemy after encountering difficulties. Think about it, if we blindly go through the united front and obey the united front in everything, what if there is a problem with both united fronts? If they want to surrender and compromise with the Japanese invaders, should we also surrender and compromise with them? If you ask a small merchant or vendor who buys soy sauce and vinegar on the streets of Xi'an, they will give a clear answer.
The third misconception is the lack of a sense of the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Yes, we want to develop and establish a base area. However, "there is a problem here", that is, it must cooperate with the ** frontal battlefield" to form a strategic interaction. If the little devil wants to launch a big campaign against the first, we must attack its weak links and cooperate with the first-class operation, so that it cannot attack calmly. In the current battlefield of China's resistance against Japan, the best strength is far greater than that of our army, and it is still the main force. When we cover them for battle, we cover the main forces of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. If we don't care about the Japanese army's attack on the first day, after a long time, a situation will be formed in which each fights separately, in that case, the little devils can "stir up right and wrong" in four or two to pull one by one, and each will be broken. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the "strategy of expanding the base areas, and we must not run on the base areas for the sake of expanding our own territory, causing friction and providing an excuse for Chiang Kai-shek to restrict our development."
After talking about these three issues, Liu Yimin said in a high-spirited manner: "As long as we unite all the anti-Japanese forces that can be united, maintain a positive offensive posture, and develop in a down-to-earth manner for a period of time," we will become stronger and stronger and become the main force on the anti-Japanese battlefield. And the Japanese army's strategic mistake of vainly trying to occupy all of China will inevitably be gradually weakened. Once the international situation changes dramatically, the United States, Britain, and other countries will inevitably impose comprehensive sanctions on Japan, and when the time comes, Japan will be in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and when war resources are exhausted, they will take further risks. At that time, it will be the time for our army to gradually implement a counteroffensive. The end of the little devil is coming! ”
Speaking of this," Liu Yimin stopped and unconsciously looked at Political Commissar Deng.
As soon as Political Commissar Deng saw Liu Yiminchao, he knew that he was going to drink water again. Fortunately, there was water in the teapot just now, so I was waiting to hand it to him!
After Liu Yimin drank the water, he began to talk endlessly. This time, he talked about the issue of how to build political power in the base areas, and he repeated the experience of the instructors in the Shandong base areas who had reported to the chairman. At the end, Liu Yimin said: "I have participated in the grass life for a relatively short time," and there are still many superficial and inadequate areas for my understanding of the party. However, after several years of study, "I realized that China was founded to save China, and every party member is an advanced element of the nation." Therefore, the anti-Japanese democratic political power we are building must be anti-Japanese and democratic. In today's China, if we do not resist Japan, we will not be able to win the support of the people, so how can we talk about development and growth? If you don't have the people, it will be easy for the regime to breed and become a regime and a regime, and you may be able to win the war in the future, but you will gradually destroy the fruits of how many martyrs' blood you have gained. Throughout the history of China and the world, any new regime is relatively inclusive and democratic, and the reason why it later perished "is due to the **system and the ** derived from it." **People are not afraid of death in order to save the country and save the people, and naturally they will not be afraid**and**. We should define democracy, independence, and freedom as the basic development goals, and reflect them in the design of the political system. We should have a far-sighted vision, be broad-minded, and be good at absorbing the political structures of various countries in the world, so as to build our anti-Japanese democratic government into a democratically elected, clean, strong, and efficient government. ”
Liu Yimin's speech was hearty, "I spoke all afternoon. After he finished speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou stood up and asked the comrades to keep the content of the speech absolutely confidential: "After dinner, we will discuss in groups."
At dinner, ** called Liu Yimin and said that he was good, and many problems were given ideas and methods, which had a major enlightening effect on comrades. However, the chairman asked him, "Why didn't you analyze the assistance of the United States and the Soviet Union to China?"
Liu Yimin said that the Soviet Union's aid to the Nationalist Government this year has greatly helped the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but it will gradually decrease in the future. The reason was that the Soviet Union had the threat of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the east and the German threat in the west. The reason why Stalin came to the aid of the Nationalist Government "was actually for the sake of the Soviet Union's own security, because he hoped that the Japanese would be mired in a war of aggression against China and would not have the strength to attack the Soviet Union in the north." At the end of last year, the Japanese offensive was too fierce for Chiang Kai-shek to parry, and he once asked the Soviet Union to send troops to support, but was refused. At the time of the Zhang Gufeng incident, he made a statement by the Yellow River, "pointing out that the Kwantung Army was extremely weak at this time, and with the military strength of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East, it was completely possible to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, and even liberate the northeast region and Korea in one fell swoop, and this information definitely reached Stalin." But the Soviets did not do anything, and only increased the intensity of the bombing of the Japanese Korean army. This illustrates the fact that the Soviet Union had no intention of openly fighting against Japan. Now that Germany is making waves in Europe, Stalin's eyes may have turned to the east. Besides, the Soviet Union has also been very difficult in recent years, far from being as strong as we think, and what they are most afraid of is fighting on both sides of the east and west. Maybe there will be dramatic changes in the future, and the Soviet Union will not be able to reach a compromise with Japan! As for the United States, "they have strong national strength, and they originally pursued isolationism, but after some period of propaganda, the American people's sympathy for the Chinese people has become increasingly high." As long as a sudden incident occurs, the Japanese will stimulate the nerves of the United States, and the Yankees will start to aid China. Moreover, the scale of aid in the future will become larger and larger, "What we have to do is to find a way to get a share of the US aid materials and arms in China, but we can't let all these things fall into Chiang Kai-shek's pocket." That way, one day he will be ambitious.
** is a strategist, not a blind scholar, and you don't have to be secretive to communicate with him.
After listening to Liu Yimin's words, ** pondered for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, or what you said in your original sentence, there is only an exchange of interests between countries, and there is no pure friendship and morality." Who makes us weak? These big powers will use us as pawns. ”
Liu Yimin took advantage of the situation and said: "China is now in the midst of war, the country is weak and the people are poor, but it does not mean that it will always be like this in the future. When we defeat Little Japan and establish New China, we will also become a world power. At that time, the national interest will prevail. Whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, we will not listen to them. On the contrary, we can take advantage of the game between the great powers and develop ourselves independently. It is dangerous to tie yourself to either of them. ”
**As if he didn't hear Liu Yimin's words, he took out a cigarette and threw it to Liu Yimin, and the two of them sat there and smoked their own, neither of them talking.
After sucking one out, she continued another ** before saying: "Ni Hua is going to the United States" She has influence and appeal. If the U.S. government can aid China on a large scale, we will have to use the foundation laid by Ni Hua in the United States in the previous stage to win a part of the two."
Speaking of Ni Hua, Liu Yimin immediately picked up: "The main chair, this time I originally wanted to bring Ni Hua and Tang Xingying's mother and son to meet the leaders" In the end, it didn't happen. It's also fortunate that there is no boat, otherwise they might have died. I can't save them in a skydiving situation. ”
** After thinking for a long time, he said: "The assistance from the Soviet side cannot be counted on, they have signed a treaty with Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek's representatives are watching very closely. It took us a lot of effort before they agreed to support us with 20,000 rifles, eight cannons, ten mortars" and it was through the work of the Comintern. What's this for? It is not as big as the capture of one division of the Japanese army that we wiped out.
I am thinking of asking Ni Hua to go to the United States again, and it would be better to ask the Americans to invite us to send a delegation and have a serious talk with them, so that they can also set up a consular agency in Shaanxi. The purpose is to win some US aid and equip 200,000 elites. In this way, our battle will be easy to fight. If you really can't do it, you will remit all the dollars, British pounds, francs, and yen you seized from Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan to the United States and buy them with money. ”
When Liu Yimin heard this, his eyes lit up: "If only the Americans could really set up a consulate or agency in Shaanxi, haha, it would be great." Not only the United States, "I guess Comrade Stalin will also reassess our strength, and their assistance will come." Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone! ”
**With a smile, he didn't even know how to shake the cigarette butt burning his hand Liu Yimin knocked off the cigarette butt in his hand, and went to bring a basin of water, so that ** put his hand into the water and "chill it for a while."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Liu Yimin couldn't help but ask: "Lord, what I said yesterday about the Japanese army luring Wang Jingwei to surrender, I don't know if the Central Committee notified Chiang Kai-shek?" ”
** replied, "Reported." However, according to the feedback, Chiang Kai-shek has already noticed that the strength of the military command cannot be underestimated. They are now in the public trial of the three devil lieutenant generals such as Otaka Kamizo, and it is estimated that these situations will also be explained. ”
I remember that in history, the US government's aid to China began when Wang Jingwei defected to the enemy, and now Chiang Kai-shek has realized that "I don't know if Wang Jingwei can escape." If Wang Jingwei still succeeds in escaping and defecting to the enemy, the United States will soon react. Ni Hua has to go to the United States quickly!
Liu Yimin immediately suggested: "Chairman, Ni Hua can go to the United States, but he has to go immediately." However, her strength is a little weak, "It's best that the central government can send a few leaders to walk with her, and the effect will be better!" ”
**Immediately looked at Liu Yimin with a scrutinizing gaze, and said for a long time: "You don't want to go by yourself!" ”
Liu Yimin replied honestly: "I want to go in person" It is much better for me to go than Ni Hua to go alone. It would be better to make a detour to the Soviet Union, and if you can meet Comrade Stalin and President Roosevelt on this trip, "it will definitely be beneficial to speed up the process of China's war of resistance by talking to them from the bottom of their hearts." However, I can't go, and I have to return to Shandong as soon as possible, where the battle situation is extremely dangerous. Unless the central government also asks Mr. Peng to go to Shandong to take over my work, I will be able to make the trip. ”
** Shaking his head: "Comrade Dehuai is the number one fierce general of our army, and he has fought many tough and vicious battles. But he fought, and the casualties of the troops were too great. We have managed to recover and cannot afford to suffer heavy casualties. The instructor has strong combat effectiveness, and in the hands of Comrade Dehuai, "The Battle of Jiaoji Road is not your style of play." No matter how important it is to go to the United States, "it is not as important as developing and strengthening our army in Shandong." Let me think about this again. ”
Originally, at this time of the conversation, Liu Yimin could retire. Unexpectedly, this young man's brain was hot, and when he saw that the host was in a good mood, he proposed to hold a wedding with Ni Hua. Now, annoyed **, splitting his head and covering his face is a reprimand.
