Wake up（270）

 

270

 

In the flickering night and the sparkling harbor, Hong Wenxuan and Shen Zhirui boarded a western-style luxury yacht, rippling on the beautiful Victoria Harbour. When the lights come on, sit on the top floor of the luxury yacht, enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view, blow the sea breeze, and revel in the bright lights on both sides of Victoria Harbour.

In addition to enjoying the night view of Victoria Harbour, you can also sit on a comfortable sofa chair, enjoy a variety of light food and soft drinks, drink and chat with friends, and enjoy a 45-minute sea cruise.

At 8:00 p.m., a gorgeous and grand "A Symphony of Lights" music performance will be presented. More than 40 skyscrapers on both sides of the Victoria Harbor will participate in the feast of stars. The view of the Victoria Harbor is really shocking.

But such a beautiful and dreamy trip to Xiangjiang will soon end. Hong Wenxuan and Shen Zhirui left the western-style luxury yacht and began to continue their chat on current affairs along Victoria Harbor Avenue.

Shen Zhirui said: Qiushi.com recently published an article reporting the main contents of the "Eleven Clears" of Xi Jinping's thought on strengthening the military. The report said that the practice of strengthening the army will never stop, and the theoretical innovation will never stop. Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, based on the practice of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army in the new era, puts forward a series of iconic and leading new ideas, new ideas, and new strategies, forming a scientific military theory system with rich connotations, profound thinking, and advancing with the times. The main content of this thought is concentrated in the new generalization of "Eleven Clarifications", which fully demonstrates the contemporary, open and creative nature of the party's military guidance theory.

Hong Wenxuan said, I have seen such reports. The so-called "eleven clarifications" are actually the first article: It is clear that the party's absolute leadership over the people's army is the foundation of the people's army and the soul of a strong army. It is necessary to comprehensively strengthen the party's leadership and party building in the army, and implement the party's leadership A series of fundamental principles and systems of the military ensure that the troops are absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely reliable.

Hong Wenxuan also said that President Xi’s dream of strengthening the military is to achieve the centenary goal of the army by 2027, to basically realize the modernization of national defense and the army by 2035, and to build the people’s army into a world-class army by the middle of this century. This goal is to build a people's army that obeys the party's command, can win battles, and has a good style of work. In layman's terms, the party commands the gun. Mao Zedong also had a dream of a strong army. What is Mao Zedong's dream of a strong army?

Hong Wenxuan said that the implementation of national defense by the whole people is an important content of Mao Zedong's military thought after the founding of New China, and it is also an important content of Mao Zedong's militia thought. In September 1950, Mao Zedong pointed out in his congratulatory speech at the National Conference of Fighting Hero Representatives and National Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Model Representatives: "China must build a strong national defense force and a strong economic force. These are two major things. Both of these things are It depends on the comrades and all the commanders and combatants of the People's Liberation Army, together with the workers, peasants and other people of the whole country, to unite and work together to achieve the goal."

In Mao Zedong's view, the implementation of national defense by the whole people needs to start from the following aspects.

The first is to strengthen national defense education, enhance the national defense concept of the whole people, and improve the national defense security capabilities and levels of the army and militia. During the period of socialist construction, a relatively peaceful environment tends to make people weak in national defense and security awareness, breeds paralyzed thinking, and neglects national defense construction. Mao Zedong launched several nationwide national defense education activities with the theme of patriotism and socialism, established the atmosphere of being prepared for danger in times of peace, loving the country, supporting the army and loving the people, and inspired the whole people to strengthen the spirit of national defense construction and national defense security.

The second is to adhere to the policy of coordinated development of national defense construction and economic construction. Mao Zedong scientifically expounded the relationship between economic construction and national defense construction in "On Ten Relationships", pointing out: "We are already stronger than in the past, and we will be stronger than now. Not only do we need more aircraft and cannons, but we also need There are atomic bombs." "National defense is indispensable." To deal with the relationship between the two correctly, "the reliable way is to reduce the military and administrative expenses to an appropriate proportion and increase the economic construction expenses. Only when the economic construction develops faster can the national defense construction be able to There will be greater progress", "We must strengthen national defense, therefore, we must first strengthen economic construction".

The third is to incorporate national defense modernization into the overall plan for socialist modernization. On May 25, 1965, Mao Zedong reviewed a summary of the conversation, which pointed out: "We must pay special attention to the militia, the small third line and local troops. The militia is the most reliable soldier. We must have an overall concept, pay attention to national economic problems, and take care of the Local production, people's lives and national economic construction."

The fourth is to strengthen the work of the militia and the construction of the militia team, combining war with peace and combining the army with the people. For more than 20 years after the founding of New China, Mao Zedong led the national army, militia and the broad masses of the people to adhere to the principle of coordinated development of economic construction and national defense construction, adhere to the principles of combining peacetime and wartime, military and civilian, and labor and military, and strengthen the people's army, militia and reserve service system Construction, the militia produced and trained troops in peacetime, and maintained social order; in wartime, they participated in the war before going out to support, ensuring the logistics supply of the front line, and made great contributions to socialist construction.

Shen Zhirui said: Mao Zedong's militia thought is an important part of Mao Zedong's military thought. Inheriting and innovatively developing Mao Zedong's militia thought is still of great theoretical and practical significance for strengthening the militia work and the construction of the reserve system under the new situation, safeguarding national security and the unity of the motherland, and providing a safe and orderly domestic and foreign environment for socialist modernization and reform and opening up significance. However, the word "militia" does not appear in President Xi's "Eleven Clear" instructions on strengthening the military. Apparently, he hasn't put the content of strengthening the army on the construction of the militia.

Hong Wenxuan said that President Xi put forward "eleven clear" requirements for strengthening the army. Compared with Mao Zedong's "three implementations" of militia work, there is obviously a big difference. On June 18, 1962, Mao Zedong inspected Hubei and put forward the idea of "three implementations" of militia work when listening to the work report of the head of the Guangzhou Military Region. He pointed out: "The work of the militia must be implemented organizationally, politically, and militarily; During his talk, Commander Chen Zaidao further elaborated on the essentials of the "three implementations" of militia work, pointing out: "The militia organization must be well organized, squads, platoons, companies, and battalions must be well organized, there must be strong cadres, and the militia must be politically reliable. In June 1964, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others watched the report performances of the Beijing and Jinan troops, and saw the wonderful performance of the representatives of the Shandong militia Shooting skills, Mao Zedong happily praised the excellent military qualities of the militiamen. After watching the report performance, Mao Zedong emphasized the "three implementations" of the militia work when talking about military issues at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the first secretaries of the Central Bureau, pointing out: "All regions and provinces must make plans, Including militias, machine repair factories, military factories, etc. All provinces need to set up militias, local troops, provinces, prefectures, and counties.” “The work of the militia must be rectified, one organization, one political, one military. Organizational , that is, there are basic militias and ordinary militias, there are soldiers, there are squad leaders, there are platoons and companies, there are soldiers and officers, and it has not been implemented yet. Politics means doing political work.” In 1969, in view of the international situation and the Sino-Soviet border tension In order to deal with the situation, he proposed "to prepare for war" and "to start a war, we must rely on the people's war and the militia, and we must strengthen the military training of the militia." In order to implement the "three implementations" of the militia work, in August 1970, the Central Military Commission hosted a symposium on militia work for the entire army, putting forward new requirements for strengthening militia work and the establishment of the militia system, and established an independent militia organization based on counties. Camp, regiment. During the "Cultural Revolution", Mao Zedong instructed that all erroneous acts that impact, hinder, or destroy militia work and militia organizations should be resolutely resisted and severely punished. After 1973, militia armed basic regiments were established in many parts of the country, and militia work has made great progress.

Hong Wenxuan fiddled with his mobile phone again, and found the March 17, 1967 "Liberation Army Daily" editorial: "Give full play to the role of the militia in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution."

Hong Wenxuan said to Shen Zhirui: This editorial makes it very clear that strengthening the militia is the consistent strategic thinking of our great commander-in-chief Chairman Mao. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao has repeatedly instructed that militia divisions should be established to realize that all the people are soldiers, and that militia work should be implemented organizationally, politically, and militarily. At any time and under any circumstances, we must unswervingly implement these instructions of Chairman Mao.

So, what exactly are the functions and roles of the militia?

The editorial makes it clear:

The militia is an important tool of the dictatorship of the proletariat, a mass revolutionary armed force, and a powerful assistant and powerful reserve force of the People's Liberation Army. The broad militia must not only actively participate in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, but also vigilantly and heroically defend the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Together with the People's Liberation Army, the militia should warmly respond to Chairman Mao's great call that the People's Liberation Army should actively support the broad masses of the leftists, and be ready at any time to smash the counter-revolutionary countercurrent caused by a handful of people in power in the party who are taking the capitalist road. We must vigorously cooperate with the public security organs to resolutely suppress the counter-revolutionary activities of the landlords, rich, counter-revolutionaries, bad actors, and rightists.

The editorial clearly determined that the role of the militia is mainly internal, that is to say, "the militia is an important tool for the dictatorship of the proletariat." In the sharp and complicated class struggle, the importance of the work of the militia has not decreased, but has increased; The tasks of the Communist Party of China have not been reduced, but have been increased; the role of the militia has not been reduced, but increased. The militia must participate in the revolutionary "three combinations" in the struggle to seize power. From top to bottom, all units that want to seize power must have representatives of the army or militia. The militia must resolutely fight against those bad guys who destroy the "grasp the revolution and promote production". They should not only serve as revolutionaries, but also serve as models for production. develop. This is related to "preparing for war, preparing for famine, and serving the people", and it is related to the victory of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.

The editorial also made it very clear:

The militia "must maintain a high degree of vigilance against imperialism, modern revisionism, and all reactionaries, conscientiously strengthen combat readiness, and be ready to cooperate with the People's Liberation Army to eliminate enemies who dare to invade." The People's Liberation Army destroys the enemy who dares to invade." The relationship between the militia and the People's Liberation Army is "cooperation."

Shen Zhirui: Anyone who has experienced the Cultural Revolution knows the propaganda of the militia and the role of the militia. But why doesn't President Xi promote the construction of contemporary militias with great fanfare?

Hong Wenxuan said: Boss Xi, who has never carried a gun and fought a war, talks about the dream of a strong army, just like Zhao Kuo who talks about soldiers on paper. "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru" records: During the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She, a famous general of Zhao State, learned the art of war when he was young, and his father could not trouble him when talking about military affairs. Later he succeeded Lian Po as General Zhao, in the Battle of Changping. He only knew how to do it according to the book of war, but didn't know how to adapt it. As a result, he was defeated by the Qin army. Can empty talk about war on paper solve practical problems?

Zhao Kuo, who are good at talking on paper, said: We can break through the Taiwan defense line in 72 hours, and we can complete the landing in 100 hours...

Boss Xi does often personally inspect the combat power and evaluate the winning rate of Taiwan. But this is completely useless, and the following reports are all good news. The Rocket Army is a military branch that the CCP is proud of, but recently there has been news that many senior officials of the CCP Rocket Army have been taken away for investigation. It is rumored that five people were involved in the rocket army accident. The first is Liu Guangbin, deputy commander of the Rocket Army, who disappeared after his last appearance in early April. The second is Zhang Zhenzhong, who was originally the deputy commander of the Rocket Army, and later the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission. He also held a meeting in April and never appeared again. Therefore, it is speculated that both Zhang Zhenzhong and Liu Guangbin had accidents. In addition, there was also an accident on the eve of the 20th National Congress. Shang Hong, deputy commander-in-chief of the Strategic Support Force, was also the commander of the Space Force. Shang Hong also disappeared after the 20th National Congress was canceled. This is the third one. The fourth is Li Yuchao. It was reported at the end of June that he was taken away during the meeting. Not only did Li Yuchao not show up recently, but on June 28, he promoted two generals urgently, which means that two generals had accidents in total. up. The fifth place, General Wei Fenghe, also had an accident, because Li Yuchao’s incident involved Wei Fenghe, because he was a soldier brought out by Wei Fenghe, and Wei Fenghe used to be a high-ranking officer. He was the commander of various bases, the commander of the Rocket Army, and later the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, and later Minister of Defence.

Hong Wenxuan said: Since Boss Xi came to power, he has carried out large-scale cleanups of the army many times. However, the characteristic of the army is that the internal relationship is very close. When a soldier goes to battle, his life is entrusted to his companions. It is also because of this characteristic of the army that the purge of the army will often be implicated and spread, and finally become an internal injury of the army.

Shen Zhirui: The purge of the military can be divided into active purges and passive purges. Active purges are like campaigns in Mao Zedong’s era, or anti-corruption campaigns like Boss Xi’s first term in office to deal with political opponents. However, the current Boss Xi is "passively purging", that is, when something goes wrong, he has to take action.

Hong Wenxuan said: The dictatorship means that everyone is obedient and loyal on the surface, but the obedience in a dictatorial country is obedience under fear and intimidation, and it is by no means convinced. So once the war started, the dictatorship basically defected. The Wagner mutiny in the Russo-Ukrainian War is the most typical case. War broke out in the South China Sea, will Wagner appear in China? If, in this matter, all the people are soldiers, vigorously develop militia organizations, and when the Wagner Group with guns appears among the people, will China still have a peaceful day?

Hong Wenxuan and Shen Zhirui strolled along the beautiful Victoria Harbour, with the sea breeze blowing, but they could not be intoxicated by the bright lights on both sides of Victoria Harbour. Their exchanges are full of worries about the future of the country and the nation. They don't know where the future of China will go?
