At the beginning of the founding of the great Chinese Communist Party, due to the needs of work, the development of party members was divided into two types, one is the open party member like Comrade Mao Zedong, and the other is the secret party member who joined the party through underground channels. These secret party members are amazing. On the one hand, they need to cover up their identities as CCP members and stay lurking in the enemy's camp against their will, and on the other hand, they have to maintain single-line contact with their liaison officers.
Some early secret party members, due to the sacrifice or betrayal of their superiors, until death or sacrifice, people do not know the identity of their CCP members. It can be said that these secret party members are great heroes. Without their efforts, there would be no happy life today. .
So the question is, who is the first secret party member in the history of our party?
Unlike many secret party members who have been obscure all their lives, the first secret party member in the history of our party can be said to be extremely famous in the process of building our party and country. It should be said that the name of this party member is like thunder, and almost every educated Chinese person knows his name. He is the founder of our party and the army, the head of the 10 marshals, and has served as the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the People's Liberation Army. Comrade Zhu De, the commander-in-chief, is it unexpected? Surprised or not?
1922 , the young Zhu De went to Germany to study abroad. In fact, at this moment Zhu De is already well-known in China, especially in Yunnan , he is a well-known figure, once served as the commander of the military police and the police chief of Yunnan , can be said to be a real power figure.
But at that time, Zhu De was tired of the warlord melee . He wanted to pursue the truth and find a way that could truly save China.So he and a few friends gave up high-ranking officials, left Kunming , and returned to Sichuan , where Zhu De made the most important decision in his life - to study in Germany.
In Germany he met Zhou Enlai and learned more about Marxism-Leninism. Under the influence of Premier Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu became a staunch Marxist. In November 1922, Zhu De, who was studying in Germany, applied to join the Party under the introduction of Zhang Shenfu and Zhou Enlai. Chen Duxiu approved Zhu De's application for joining the Party on behalf of the Central Committee, but out of various considerations, he decided to keep Zhu De's party membership secret. .
thought this at the time. Before joining the party, Zhu De once held a high position in the old warlord . If Zhu De was announced to join the Communist Party of China, it would likely cause misunderstandings among the people, but the gains outweighed the losses, which might be detrimental to the development and growth of our party. Therefore, it is a more appropriate way to deal with it in a confidential way.
At the same time, the secret of Zhu De's party membership is more conducive to the development of revolutionary work. It is necessary to know Zhu De's various relationships among the old warlords. With Zhu De's ability, this relationship can be used very well for me. So in this way, Comrade Zhu De became the first secret party member in the history of our party.
From then on, Zhu De, a secret member of the Communist Party of China, began a period of secret work in the Kuomintang and inside the enemy. It can be said that he is the No. 1 "undercover" in the history of the Chinese Communist Party.
