Section 1 Capture the Army (6)
After Hua finished writing, he picked up the paper that was blown everywhere by the wind and then proved the feasibility of this plan from several aspects. After making some adjustments, the report was completed.
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door. Zhao Hanjie was coming in. Zhuang Jihua was about to ask him what happened, but he saw a lunch box in his hand. Zhuang Jihua felt a little hungry and it was already dinner time before he knew it.
After Zhao Hanjie put down the lunch box, hesitated and did not want to leave. Zhuang Jihua asked him something wrong. Then Zhao Hanjie hesitated that he wanted to go back to the army and return to the 7th Company.
Zhuang Jihua asked him why, a little confused. Zhao Hanjie said that he was illiterate and didn't know what to do if he stayed here. Seeing Wu Ziniu and the others busy, he felt very leisurely and was uncomfortable. Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie had different feelings about this job. Wu Ziniu was still literate, and Zhao Hanjie was basically illiterate. Therefore, Zhao Hanjie was not in a high mood. He didn't know if he could do this job well, so he had the idea of returning to the 7th Company.
Zhuang Jihua was a little funny when he heard this: "Do you have a sick mind? You just get a salary and don't work? Where can I find such a good thing?"
But Zhao Hanjie said: "I know the superior is for my own good, but...but I feel uneasy."
Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie are the two people Zhuang Jihua like to take with him the most. The former has excellent military skills and is a good bodyguard, while the latter is honest and loyal, which makes people feel at ease. Now this reassuring person wants to leave, Zhuang Jihua will let go.
Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that this matter was difficult, but he was unwilling to give up on this person. He said, "Don't be anxious first. We will discuss your affairs after I finish the past two days. OK?"
The commander said this, what else could Zhao Hanjie say, so he nodded and agreed. After he left, Zhuang Jihua finished supper for a few mouthfuls, then picked up his pen and started writing a second analysis report: "Analysis of the current situation and the countermeasures we should take"
What Zhuang Jihua thought at first was that the state-owned internal troubles would attack strong enemies. He deliberately exaggerated the military threats he was currently facing to rectify the army. In his conversation with Chiang Kai-shek, his thinking jumped. Why only the army was seen? There are many things that can be achieved through this threat, such as the issue of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the issue of the National Government, the issue of party land construction, etc. There was a saying in the previous life that reform was used to solve the problems that emerged in the reform. So why can't the problems that emerged in the revolution be solved with revolution now?
Zhuang Jihua has a view on the development of the current Guangzhou Revolution. In his opinion, the current revolution is only reflected in a small number of troops and a small number of rural areas. The vast majority of the members of society have not yet gained benefits from the revolution, but social unrest has intensified, and strikes occur almost every day. The dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has begun to expand, especially the influence of the Soviet Union, which Zhuang Jihua has always been vigilant, has increased faster; the newly established Kuomintang party headquarters is basically the leader of the cross-party members and plays a major role, while the Kuomintang members are complaining in addition to complaining. They are neither willing to be a member of the Kuomintang headquarters, which will make them lose the opportunity to be officials and do it themselves and cannot form a combat-capable party headquarters. This dissolution of the grassroots Kuomintang organizations makes the overall combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang as a political organization extremely weak, and they must be transformed. The method of transformation is to introduce new blood and introduce young people.
The Zhuang Jihua Local Report first analyzed the current political situation.
"The Five Incidents were caused by the Gu Zhenghong Incident. The Gu Zhenghong Incident appeared to be an accident on the surface, but in fact it was the fact that the Chinese people's dissatisfaction with the barbaric aggression of imperialism was a total outbreak. The imperialists represented by Britain misjudged the power of the Chinese people and adopted a more barbaric suppression method, which triggered a wave of protest across the country. Because of the guidance of the **, this wave would not simply subside, but the final development of this wave would inevitably end in negotiations. Due to its radical strategy, it lost its ability to lead in negotiations. This is why the Shanghai business community came forward to negotiate with the concession authorities rather than the **. Then the strategy our party should adopt is to delay this negotiation, and even consider destroying this negotiation, so that the negotiations must be broken.
Procrastination is to achieve the following goals:
First of all, implementing military and political party affairs reform in Guangdong, it will be easier to unite the people in the domestic market and reduce the resistance to reform within the party and the army. This is the most important point. Students will discuss how to reform in detail later.
The second is to promote the influence of our party among the workers and make them identify with our party. For a long time, our party’s main support came from intellectuals and had little influence among workers and farmers. If this incident can be used to promote the influence of the party among the workers and establish a trade union controlled or influenced by our party, it will have immeasurable benefits to the long-term development of the party.
Third, our party takes over the negotiations, which can establish our party’s position in the hearts of the people and allow the great powers to re-understand our party; especially the time to end the wave of protests.
How to carry out reforms in party affairs, military affairs and government affairs? Students believe that the top priority of reform is reforms in party affairs.
At present, many of our party members are corrupt and degenerate, with high positions and incompetent people everywhere. Compared with the **, there is no revolutionary enthusiasm, so reform is necessary. Students think that the Prime Minister's introduction of ** personnel is only the first step in reforming the Party, and the next step of reform must be carried out.
The reform of the Party should first start with the introduction of new blood. The so-called new blood is youth. Young people are like the sun at the morning o'clock, with a vigorous atmosphere. Compared with the old party members who stick to the rules and sit down, they are more enthusiastic, dare to challenge traditions, and dare to practice in depth.
However, after joining the Party, young people are easily affected by the current atmosphere, so they must go deep into the countryside, into factories, understand workers and farmers, and participate in grassroots work. Therefore, the second point of party affairs reform is organizational reform.
At present, our grassroots organizations are generally county party departments, but the county is not the smallest administrative unit in China. The smallest natural unit in China is a village, so party branches should be established in rural areas; in cities, party branches should be established in each factory and party branches should be established in each district to control the entire factory and rural areas.
The promotion of cadres should also be reformed. The prerequisite for cadre promotion is that they must work at the grassroots level for more than three years and make achievements to participate in the election of senior cadres; the promotion method should be changed to the election system instead of
The disadvantage of the appointment system is that it is only for the superiors and not for the subordinates; if it can be easily uploaded, it also makes the senior management unable and dare not ignore opinions from the lower management...
The second is reforming the finance. Guangdong's fiscal revenue is tens of millions every year, but how much is the real income of the treasury? It is only a few millions, and its main wealth is privately intercepted by the army, that is, it is mainly intercepted by a few senior generals in the army. This kind of military collects fiscal and taxation practice is a warlord practice, which must be resolutely eradicated, and fiscal and taxation must be unified in the hands of the government and used centrally by the government.
Guangzhou has many financial and taxation names. The people are unable to bear the suffering. This situation must be changed. Some unreasonable taxes must be abolished, and early tax collection is resolutely prohibited, which will also benefit the people.
Reducing tax revenue will inevitably lead to a decline in government fiscal revenue, which can be compensated through two aspects. First, we will retract the customs and take advantage of this wave of protests to reclaim the customs in Guangdong.
The retraction of Guangdong Customs will inevitably cause imperialist dissatisfaction. However, in southern China, the main places where the great powers have interests here are Britain, and there are very few other countries. Therefore, all the contradictions will be the contradiction between the Guangdong government and the British government. The British government has strong outside and is responsible for the middle, and the possibility of sending troops to declare war is extremely low. In fact, even if it really declares war, it is not afraid. It is possible to use the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi to fight against 100,000 British troops.
In addition to reclaiming customs, opium consumption tax can also be charged (it can be set to five to ten times the current tax). Opium is a drug, and all Chinese people hate it deeply. Since the government is unable to eliminate opium now, high taxes can be charged on opium, so that the poor can no longer smoke opium. Since the rich have the money to smoke opium, it is also necessary to make some contribution to the country.
The land can also be levied as a luxury goods consumption tax. As the name suggests, luxury goods are enjoyed by the rich. If the rich have money, they will contribute more to the country, which is also conducive to promoting a social atmosphere of thrift and hard work and simplicity.
Students believe that these three things can be compensated, at least partially making up for the reduction in fiscal revenue...
The third reforms the army. Currently, there are nearly 100,000 troops in Guangdong, but students of the revolutionary army believe that there are only party troops, and other troops have some remnants of feudal army. The means of military reorganization are politics first, the system is second, personnel mobilization is third, and finally mixed.
The so-called politics first refers to the political education of the army. Political education first targets officers, establishes education brigades in each army, and implements batch training for officers, especially middle and lower-level officers. With the goal of improving their political awareness, those who do not meet the standards of political awareness should gradually be transferred from the military system.
All armies have military academies in Guangzhou, and all these military academies should be merged into the Whampoa Military Academy. In the future, officers of each army must be graduates of the military academies, and officers of each army are allowed to apply for the Whampoa exam.
There are many units for the army in Guangzhou, but the combat effectiveness of the troops is uneven and many troops are insufficient, so it is necessary to organize the army. On the one hand, eliminate the old and the weak, and on the other hand, control military expenditures. In this way, although the number of troops has decreased, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not decrease...
Fourth, the establishment of a national government is an urgent task.
At this time, both politically, military and economically, it is time to establish a national government, and this matter can no longer be delayed.
Politically, the people hope that there will be a strong government for them to rely on; military, rectification of the army must be implemented in the name of the government; economically, unified finance can only be implemented under the government.
Therefore, there are two things that must be carried out immediately. One is to send people to Shanghai to take over the negotiations, and the other is to establish a national government immediately...
The final strategy for the great powers.
Shanghai is related to the interests of the great powers of all countries, so they can act in unison in Shanghai, but the great powers are not monolithic and can be divided and ruled.
Among the great powers, Britain and Japan are the direct initiators of this incident. Our fingers can be directly targeted at these two. Among them, Britain is the most stubborn and should be the focus of our crackdown. The way to crackdown should adopt a peaceful approach, that is, strike, reject British goods, stop financial transactions with Britain, and reject British investment in China. Part of the projects negotiated with Britain will be transferred to other countries. In this way, the great powers will be divided, so that they can put pressure on Britain and force Britain to make concessions.
In Guangdong, other powers except Britain have no major interests, so Guangdong's actions will not incur unified interference from the powers. Even if there is any interference, it will be local and temporary. As long as we have proper strategies, such as blocking the port against British ships, other ships except Britain can enter Guangzhou.
Britain will inevitably threaten by force, so this threat can enhance the unity of our party, government and military, and will help us reorganize our army and reorganize our party.
….”
Two days later, when Zhuang Jihua finished writing the report, he read the report again as usual, and he was frightened by his boldness. His first thought was to burn the report. This thought disappeared after a circle in his mind, because on the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek already knew that he was going to submit a report, and on the other hand, he vaguely felt that if the plan in the report was really fully realized, then the dispute between the two parties could be adjusted under the law, and it was not impossible to avoid 4.12. After thinking about it, he decided to hand over the report to Chiang Kai-shek.
Not only was Zhuang Jihua scared, but Chiang Kai-shek was also scared after reading the report. He softened his temples and thought to himself that Zhuang Jihua was so bold that I didn’t even have the power to interfere in the party power and regime, so he dared to make such a report. No, it should be a plan.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Chiang Kai-shek smiled mockingly and said to himself: "Mynn Xipi, what's there? Isn't it just a report?"
Then Chiang Kai-shek picked up the plan and looked carefully. After repeating the review, Chiang Kai-shek thought for a moment with a serious expression, and he picked up the phone.
"Brother Zhongkai? Is there any time today? I'll show you something. It's better for you to come here... OK, I'll go see you."
After putting down the phone, Chiang Kai-shek called Shao Lizi in and handed over Zhuang Jihua's report to him and asked him to write it himself, but he could not hand it over to others.
So Zhuang Jihua threw himself into the forefront again, more strictly speaking, in the undercurrent vortex.
