The resolution criticized the pure military viewpoints such as good military and good politics, and pointed out that military is only one of the tools to accomplish political tasks. The military and political organizations of the Red Army perform their work in parallel under the guidance of the Front Committee; the idea of ​​subordinate the political work of the Red Army to the military work organization, if it develops, will lead to separation from the masses and the use of the military to control power. The danger of leaving the leadership of the proletariat is the same as the road of warlordism followed by the Kuomintang army.

The resolution analyzed the manifestations and root causes of various erroneous thoughts, clarified the methods of correction, and pointed out: There are various non-proletarian ideologies in the Red Army Party, and the most pressing problem is education.It is necessary to elevate the political level of the party through education, so that the ideology of party members and the life of the party are politicized and scientific.

(6) Prescribe the mission of the Red Army's propaganda work. The resolution pointed out: The mission of the Red Army's propaganda work is to expand political influence to win over the broad masses. Only by the realization of this propaganda task can the general tasks of the Red Army be realized, such as organizing the masses, arming the masses, establishing political power, eliminating reactionary forces, and promoting the revolutionary climax.

(7) Discuss the style and methods of the political work of the Red Army. The resolution requires the use of Marxist-Leninist methods to analyze the political situation and the assessment of class power, instead of subjective analysis and assessment, pay attention to investigation and research on the actual situation, and prevent subjective and arbitrary criticism and vulgarize criticism within the party. .

Mao Zedong drafted a telegram to the Northeast Bureau for the CPC Central Committee. The telegram foresaw the arduous nature of the struggle in the Northeast, and determined that the Communist Party of China’s task in the Northeast was to establish solid bases in cities and vast villages far away from the Kuomintang occupation center, mobilize the masses, gradually accumulate strength, and prepare for a counter-offensive in the future. The telegram pointed out: Our party’s current task in Northeast China is to establish a solid military and political base in East Manchuria, North Manchuria, and Western Manchuria. The area where this kind of base area is established should now be determined not to be in the major cities and traffic arteries that the Kuomintang has or will occupy.Nor is it in the vicinity of major cities and major transportation lines occupied by the Kuomintang. This is because the Kuomintang will not allow us to establish strong bases in areas close to it since it has access to major cities and transportation routes. In such areas, our party should do sufficient work to establish the first line of defense in the military and must not give up easily. However, this kind of area will be a guerrilla zone of the two parties, not our consolidated base. Therefore, the areas for establishing and consolidating bases are cities and vast rural areas far from the center of Kuomintang occupation. The focus of our party's work in Northeast China is mass work. The content of mass work is to mobilize the people to fight for the liquidation of traitors, to reduce rents and increase wages, and to increase production. In these struggles, various mass organizations should be organized, the core of the party should be established, the armed forces of the masses and the people's political power should be established, and the mass struggle should be rapidly raised from economic struggle to political struggle, and to participate in the construction of base areas. Our party must give visible material benefits to the people in the Northeast before the masses will support us and oppose the Kuomintang's offensive. The telegram request: quickly divide military districts and military divisions in West Manchuria, East Manchuria, and North Manchuria, and divide the army into field army and local army. Distribute a considerable part of the regular army to various military divisions to mobilize the masses, eliminate bandits, establish political power, organize guerrillas, militias, and self-defense forces in order to stabilize the place, cooperate with the field army, and smash the Kuomintang offensive. This telegram is titled "Establishing a Consolidated Northeast Base Area" and is included in the fourth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong."
