1937 May 8
Mao Zedong made a conclusion at the National Congress of the Communist Party of China entitled "Struggling for Millions of People to Enter the Anti-Japanese National United Front". The conclusion answers the questions raised in the meeting. When talking about the issue of peace, he pointed out: When we say that peace has been achieved, we do not mean that peace has been consolidated. On the contrary, we say that it is not consolidated. Peaceful achievement and peace consolidation are two different things. It is possible for history to turn back temporarily, and it is possible for peaceful twists and turns to occur, because of the existence of Japanese imperialism and the pro-Japanese faction of traitors. Under such circumstances, we put forward the new slogan of "Striving for Democracy", only in this way can peace be consolidated, and only in this way can the war of resistance be realized. We say that the Kuomintang has begun to transform, but at the same time we say that the Kuomintang has not completely transformed. The Communist Party has the ability to push the revolution forward gradually, but it does not have the ability to wipe out the bad things in the whole country in one morning. Certain twists and turns in the revolutionary process, as well as possible turning backs, can only be overcome by struggle and effort, and require long-term struggle and effort. When talking about the issue of democracy, he pointed out that if we want to resist Japan, we must have peace. Without peace, we cannot resist Japan. Peace is the condition of resistance. For the task of resisting Japan, democracy is also the most essential thing in the new stage. Democracy means resisting Japan. Anti-Japanese and democracy are mutually conditional. Democracy is the guarantee of resistance to Japan, and resistance to Japan can give favorable conditions to the development of the democratic movement. Democracy is lacking rather than superfluous to the Chinese. The actual situation has shown that pointing out a new stage and proposing democratic tasks is one step closer to the War of Resistance. The central and essential things at the current stage are democracy and freedom. When talking about the future of the revolution, he pointed out that resolutely leading the democratic revolution is the condition for the victory of socialism. Two articles, the first and the second, can only be done well if the first is done well. We are fighting for socialism, which is different from any revolutionary Three People'sists.The current efforts are aimed at the big goal in the future. If you lose this big goal, you will not be a member of the Communist Party. However, if you relax your efforts today, you will not be a Communist. We are revolutionary transformationists, advocating the transformation of the democratic revolution into the direction of socialism. There will be several stages of development in a democratic revolution, all under the slogan of a democratic republic. From the predominance of the bourgeoisie to the predominance of the proletariat, this is a long process of struggle. The process of winning leadership depends on the improvement of the Communist Party's level of awareness of the proletariat and the level of awareness of the peasants and the urban petty bourgeoisie. improvement. The steadfast allies of the proletariat are the peasantry, followed by the urban petty bourgeoisie. It is the bourgeoisie who contends with us for leadership. To overcome the wavering and incompleteness of the bourgeoisie depends on the strength of the masses and correct policies, otherwise the bourgeoisie will in turn overcome the proletariat. Bloodless transformation is what we want, we should strive for it, and the outcome will depend on the strength of the masses. We are revolutionary transformationists, not Trotskyist "permanent revolution"ists. We advocate going through all the necessary stages of a democratic republic to reach socialism. We are against tailism, but we are also against adventurism and acute illness. Today's united bourgeois anti-Japanese faction is the necessary bridge to socialism. When talking about cadres, he pointed out that to guide a great revolution, there must be a great party and many of the best cadres. The Communist Party of China has long been a big party. After the losses during the reactionary period, it is still a big party. It has many good leaders and cadres, but it is not enough. Our Party organization must develop nationwide, consciously cultivate thousands of cadres, and must have hundreds of the best mass leaders.These cadres and leaders understand Marxism-Leninism, have political foresight, have the ability to work, are full of sacrificial spirit, can solve problems independently, remain unwavering in difficulties, and work faithfully for the nation, for the class, and for the party. The Party relies on these people to connect with its members and the masses, and rely on these people for their strong leadership over the masses to achieve the goal of overthrowing the enemy. These people should not be selfish, individual heroism and flamboyantism, laziness and passivity, arrogant sectarianism, they are heroes of the class of a nation that is selfless and selfless, and this is what Communist Party members, Party cadres and Party leaders should Some character and style. When talking about the issue of inner-party democracy, he pointed out: To achieve this goal, inner-party democracy is necessary. The party must have strength and rely on the implementation of the party's democratic centralism to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole party. Use the enthusiasm of the whole party to train a large number of cadres, eliminate the remnants of sectarian ideas, and unite the whole party like steel. When talking about the unity of the congress and the unity of the whole party, he pointed out that only through the unity of the Communist Party can we achieve the unity of the whole class and the whole nation, and only through the unity of the whole class and the whole nation can we defeat the enemy and complete the tasks of the national and democratic revolution. When talking about the struggle to win millions of people into the anti-Japanese national united front, he pointed out that our correct political policy and firm unity are for the purpose of winning millions of people into the anti-Japanese national united front. Transforming the Party's policy into the policy of the masses also requires our long-term, indomitable, arduous, patient, and trouble-free efforts. Without such an effort all is unsuccessful. The formation and consolidation of the anti-Japanese national united front and the completion of its tasks, as well as the realization of the democratic republic in China, cannot in the least be separated from this effort to win over the masses.If, through such efforts, we can win millions of people under our leadership, our revolutionary task can be accomplished quickly. Our efforts will surely bring down Japanese imperialism and achieve total national and social liberation. This conclusion is included in the first volume of the Selected Works of Mao Zedong.

Mao Zedong drafted the instructions for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China "On the Lessons of Our Party in the Fight Against the Second Anti-Communist Upsurge". The instructions pointed out: Among the two major contradictions in China, the contradiction between the Chinese and Japanese ethnic groups is still fundamental, and the contradiction between domestic classes is still in a subordinate position. As long as the contradiction between China and Japan continues to exist sharply, even if the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie all defect and surrender, the situation of 1927 cannot be brought about by a repeat of the April 12 Incident and the March 12 Incident. Under such circumstances, the Anglo-American big landlords and big bourgeoisie, which guided all the policies of the Kuomintang government, were still a two-faced class, opposing Japan on the one hand and the Communist Party and the broad masses of the people it represented on the other. And its anti-Japanese and anti-Communist, and each has its two sides. In terms of resistance to Japan, it is not only opposed to Japan, but also not actively fighting, not actively opposing Wang and Chinese traitors, and sometimes colluding with Japanese peace envoys. In terms of anti-communism, it is still a policy of one hit and one pull. Our party's policy is "to treat others according to their own way", to fight against each other and to pull against each other. This is the two-sided policy of the revolution. As long as the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie do not completely rebel, our policy will never change. Fighting against the Kuomintang's anti-Communist policy requires a whole set of tactics, and one must not be careless. If any force of the people's revolution is to avoid being wiped out by Chiang Kai-shek and to force him to admit its existence, there is no other way but to fight tit for tat against his counter-revolutionary policy.The failure of Comrade Xiang Ying's opportunism in this anti-communist upsurge should be taken as a deep warning by the whole party. But the struggle must be rational, beneficial, and disciplined. If one of the three is lacking, one will suffer. In the struggle, to distinguish the big comprador bourgeoisie from the national bourgeoisie without or less comprador, to distinguish the most reactionary big landlords from the enlightened gentry and general landlords, this is our Party's win over the centrists and the implementation of the "three The theoretical basis of the "Three Systems" regime. The "Jiadian" position that we took before the Southern Anhui Incident was absolutely necessary for our counter-offensive to turn to politics after the Incident. Otherwise, we could not win over the centrists. It should be noted that Chinese society is a society with two ends, small and middle. If the Communist Party cannot win over the masses of the middle class and give them their proper place according to their conditions, it cannot solve the Chinese problem. He also pointed out that some comrades wavered because of the fact that the Sino-Japanese contradiction is the basic contradiction, and therefore made a wrong estimate of the domestic class relations, and thus sometimes wavered in the party's policy. When the Central Committee of our Party ordered them to prepare to deal with the possible rupture of the Kuomintang, and to deal with the worst possibility of the development of the current situation, they threw away the other possibilities. There are many more comrades who do not understand the consistency of national struggle and class struggle, do not understand united front policy and class policy, and thus do not understand the consistency of united front education and class education; they believe that after the Southern Anhui Incident, special emphasis should be placed on the so-called united front. Class education other than education. There are also some comrades who do not understand that the social nature of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and the anti-Japanese base areas in North and Central China is already New Democracy, and think that New Democracy can only be achieved by carrying out agrarian revolutions like those during the ten-year civil war. this is not right. This instruction summed up the rich experience in fighting off the second anti-communist upsurge, and effectively corrected the "Left" misunderstanding of the current situation in the party.This instruction was included in the second volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", entitled "Summary on Repelling the Second Anti-Communist Upsurge".

Deng Xiaoping pointed out when meeting with the Mexican Defense Minister Galvan: the future war will mainly be a conventional weapon war, not an atomic war. Because the destructive power of the atomic bomb is too great, the enemy does not dare to use the atomic bomb lightly, and the atomic bomb is dropped, destroying buildings and resources, which is not good for the enemy. The purpose of the imperialists' wars is to plunder the resources of other countries. If all the resources are destroyed, why are they occupying other countries' territories? Atomic bombs have a point, we have atomic bombs for self-defense. We are still mainly developing conventional weapons.

On the 8th, 9th and 11th, Jiang Zemin successively convened meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to clarify the principled position and measures to deal with and deal with this incident. He pointed out: No matter what happens, there is one thing that we must unswervingly adhere to, that is, we must step up our own work and greatly enhance our country's economic strength, national defense strength, and national cohesion. Economic construction is the center, and national defense construction must also be continuously strengthened. Otherwise, in the event of a war, we cannot effectively defend the achievements of economic construction and the security of the motherland. In this world, we still have to fight for strength in the end. We must adhere to the policy of calm observation and calm response, in order to win more time, seize every opportunity, and concentrate on speeding up our own development. Our national strength has been greatly enhanced, and our country's security has been fundamentally guaranteed in this world. Only by persevering in hard work and hard work, increasing our country's economic strength, increasing our national defense strength, and greatly enhancing our national cohesion, can we remain invincible forever.The main points of these three speeches were titled "Share the Enemy, Unite to Fight Offences", which is included in the second volume of "Jiang Zemin's Selected Works".
