76. On the Importance of Bank Robbery (I)

When the mushroom cloud of the French Concession Board of Directors had not yet dissipated, the traversers began to arrange the great cause of robbing the bank in this Shanghai raider.

On the whole, the looting jihua they formulated is definitely more frenzied than the most vicious robbers in modern shijie.

To put it simply, the traversers said that in dealing with the most reactionary creatures such as financiers, it is necessary to strictly implement the "three-light policy" of "killing, burning, and robbing everything" to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, lest they will relapse and collude with Chinese and foreign reactionary shili to subvert the revolution once they get a chance to breathe.

Don't forget, the "April 12" coup d'Γ©tat was launched by these Shanghai international financiers who contributed money and efforts and colluded with Chiang Kai-shek.

Therefore, now the Red Army has to come up with the methods of Chiang Kai-shek's massacre of the workers' pickets in the past, and kill these banks into rivers of blood!

Well, even if you can't slaughter all the banks for humanitarian reasons, at least you have to put all of their coffers in one pot!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ First of all, the first step is to close down the securities and futures exchanges in Shanghai, and after removing the valuable goods there, we might as well blow up or burn the entire exchange, so as to make a deep impression on the citizens of Shanghai -- remember, all the records and documents in the exchanges must be removed or burned, so as to ensure that even if our army has to temporarily abandon Shanghai one day, Shanghai's stock market and futures market will not be able to open again soon!

Of course, don't forget to take a few commemorative photos before you start - the Kuomintang did the same when it destroyed the 'red capital' Ruijin. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Secondly. We want to rob all the foreign banks in Shanghai! Yokohama Shojin Bank, HSBC, Citibank, UBS, Standard Chartered Bank, ABN AMRO, CrΓ©dit Agricole CIB, ...... Whether they belong to the Japanese, the British, the Jews, the Americans, the Dutch, the Belgians, no matter what country they come from, don't let them go!

Of course. We are not robbers, but revolutionaries, so it is even more important for us to set fire to the books! Don't let them smuggle out the ledgers and bills! We must get these banks until they are finished!

In addition, if the foreign directors and foreign general managers of these banks can be caught, they will all be shot on the spot without discussion! This is not only a crime to kill chickens and monkeys, but also to squeeze the blood and sweat of the Chinese people for so many years for the imperialist financiers. Make a punishment for being too late!

In short, for us proletarian revolutionaries, the financial capitalists who play financial magic tricks to get the most out of it. Ten thousand times more hateful than all other capitalists! For the capitalist camp, the fear caused by our hanging of one banker is greater than the hanging of a hundred politicians! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't be soft when you kill! Please comrades must keep in mind that these seemingly gentle Chinese and foreign financiers. In fact, he was a more ferocious enemy than any Kuomintang agent. The ideology is reactionary to the point of incurability, so we can't let go of any of them! Don't be polite when you torture the bankers, for we can only get the greatest benefit from beating such counter-revolutionaries to the death!!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In the process of sealing up and confiscating foreign-funded banks, if bank officials stop them, whether they are Chinese or foreigners, they must also be treated as class enemies. Shoot them all! Also, if the vault and safe can't be opened. If you can't ask for the password, just use the explosives bag and bazooka! Or take the entire safe down and take it away! Anyway, in the new China of the 21st century, there are experts who are good at opening safes! In addition, antique safes such as this kind of purely mechanical craftsmanship should also be purchased by some elegant collectors who are willing to pay for it......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Please remember that our goal is not just to grab money, but to completely destroy the entire comprador financial industry in Shanghai!

If we talk about the ability to buy short and sell short, speculate in stocks, speculate in land and futures, and create a financial storm to loot the common people of Lebanon, we Red Army soldiers from the countryside are certainly not the opponents of their financial industry predators who study abroad.

But our Red Army has a more convenient and effective, as well as a simpler and more crude solution - just kill all the financiers in Shanghai, tear down the banks, and burn all the account books! Shanghai's financial industry is basically finished! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Next, the vast majority of Chinese-funded banks in Shanghai were nothing more than vassals and accomplices of the imperialists in plundering the blood and sweat of the Chinese people. In particular, the most reactionary banks, the Central Bank, the Bank of Communications, the Bank of China, and the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank, were Chiang Kai-shek's money bags and hardcore supporters, and they had to be burned and robbed! Only the banks I have listed on the list, and these few people, can be forgiven for a while, but they will also arrest the bank staff! Then we will decide on the disposal plan based on the results of our negotiations with them......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When the Kuomintang was clearing out the Soviet areas, it used to shout that 'stones should be passed by knives, thatched grass should be overburned, and people should be replaced!' At this moment, the Jiangxi Soviet District is being slaughtered in a sea of blood! In order to avenge the fathers and villagers in the Soviet area, we should return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood in Shanghai! When dealing with the plutocratic financiers, please strive to make sure that the vaults and safes are blown up, the account books and documents are overheated, and the people are hung up street lamps! ”

……

As mentioned above, one by one, almost all of them are the devil's deeds in the village...... Because the handling methods of the traversers were too cruel and tyrannical, even Fang Zhimin, Su Yu and Xun Huaizhou couldn't help frowning when they heard it, feeling that it was a bit too much, and euphemistically expressed their objections.

Therefore, Wang Qiu dug out the history books of later generations and Chiang Kai-shek's diary, and carefully explained how from the end of 1926 to the beginning of 1927, during the brewing process of the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup, the big comprador Yu Qiaqing, under the instruction of the American and British international financiers, went around in tandem to buy counter-revolutionary shili everywhere and heavily funded Chiang Kai-shek's sinister plot to massacre our party members. And when the Shanghai workers' pickets were destroyed, the party members were buried alive, beheaded, beaten to death with sticks, and wiped out by their whole families......

What's even more terrifying is that shortly after the Red Tenth Army left the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet regions founded by Fang Zhimin and marched north into the hinterland ruled by the Kuomintang, the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet Regions in the northeast of Jiangxi Province also unfortunately followed in the footsteps of the Central Soviet Region and basically fell under the heavy siege of the Kuomintang - specifically, about last week - therefore, at the same time that the Red Tenth Army invaded Shanghai, the families and relatives of the legionnaires were groaning in pain under the iron hooves of the White Bandit Army. people should be changed", in the purges and slaughters!

And the tycoons of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums in Shanghai are the general backstage of these murderers! is the instigator of this human tragedy!

Therefore, Fang Zhimin quickly became indignant and hard-hearted, and felt that he should indeed avenge the soldiers of the whole army.

Professor Yang, on the other hand, showed his ability to teach political economy at the university, explaining to the leaders of the Red Army that the real reason for their violent raids on the banks in Shanghai was not to enrich themselves (really?). Rather, it was to deal the greatest blow to the Chinese and foreign counter-revolutionaries, to prevent them from continuing to inflict blood transfusions on the Chiang Kai-shek regime, and to promote the internal collapse of the Nationalist Government in Nanking as soon as possible......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At the end of May 1871, in the suburbs of Paris, in the cemetery of Father Lachaise, only a few crisp gunshots could be heard, and a group of soldiers of the Paris Commune fell under the 'Commune Wall', their eyes full of fearlessness, anger, and a trace of regret and confusion.

Although the Paris Commune was the first great attempt of the proletariat to establish power. His pioneering spirit and the unyielding fighting spirit of the Commune fighters had a profound influence on Shijie, and the resulting "Internationale" became a spiritual source that inspired the proletariat to continue fighting. But it cannot be denied that with the fall of these proletarian revolutionary forefathers, the Paris Commune, the first proletarian power in human history, was brutally suppressed only two months after its birth. Why, then, did the revolutionary flame of the Paris Commune go out so quickly? ”

Wielding a laser pointer and pointing to the courseware on the projector screen, Professor Yang spoke eloquently to several Red Army leaders, "...... According to the traditional view, the failure of the Paris Commune was subjectively due to the fact that the French working class was politically immature at that time, adopted a series of negative and erroneous tactics, and did not spread the struggle to other regions, resulting in the revolutionary Liliang always being isolated and helpless; Objectively, it was because of the joint repression of the reactionary classes in Germany and France that the counter-revolution was unprecedentedly strong, and it was able to throw in more than 100,000 troops and completely strangle the revolution of the Paris Commune.

However, there are two points that do not make sense in this explanation: first, the French government, which fled to Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, was initially left with only more than 10,000 remnants of defeated soldiers, no food and ammunition, and the provinces refused to obey orders. Second, the Germans, who were still fighting bloody battles with the French army just now, weishenme had to cooperate with the French government to suppress the revolution of the Paris Commune?

You must know that the situation in Europe at the end of the Franco-Prussian War and the birth of the Paris Commune was completely different from the situation after the First World War, when the whole of Europe was tormented into a powder keg by the terrible scourge of war, forcing the entire capitalist camp to abandon their old grudges and join forces to suppress the proletarian revolution.

At that time, the Germans had just defeated the French army and won a complete victory without much cost, and it was at a time when the whole people were jubilant and the prestige of Chancellor Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm was at an all-time high, and even if the Paris Commune succeeded in seizing power, it was impossible for the revolutionary wave to spread to Germany.

On the contrary, if the Paris Commune had turned into a second French revolution, plunging France into incessant internal bloodshed, or even torn apart into several small states by a brutal civil war, it would have been more likely to rid the nascent Second German Reich of a future formidable enemy.
