Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Chapter 804: Three Antis Movement

"Comrades, the First National Organization Work Conference passed a resolution on Party rectification. From 1949 to 1951, a three-year Party rectification campaign was launched. The Central Committee also approved the campaign to increase production and save money, and to thoroughly combat corruption, waste,

The fight against bureaucracy.

This expanded Secretariat meeting included six secretaries: Gao Gang, Wei Hongjun, Peng Zhen, Deng Xixian, Rao Shushi, and Xi Zhongxun, plus alternate secretary Yang Shanglong. Also present was Dong Biwu, director of the State Council's Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Normally, the work of the Secretariat is handled by Gao Gang, Peng Zhen and Rao Shushi.

Because everyone else has their own job.

The secretaries of the Secretariat will only gather together when the Secretariat discusses important work and needs to hold a meeting.

Gao Gang is the General Secretary of the Central Committee and the head of the Secretariat. Therefore, this Secretariat meeting was chaired by Gao Gang.

Gao Gang was now full of energy and ambition. After all, since arriving in Beijing, he had taken charge of the Secretariat, handling the day-to-day work of the Central Committee, a position of true power and influence. More importantly, Gao Gang had launched the "Three Antis Movement" in Northeast China, which aimed to combat corruption, waste, and bureaucracy, earning him high praise from the Chairman.

The Chairman strongly supported the "Three Antis Movement" initiated by Gao Gang in Northeast China.

This was the first Party rectification movement initiated by a local central bureau and a regional government after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was highly effective, with large numbers of corrupt Party members and cadres apprehended in the Northeast during the "Three Antis Movement."

This move in Northeast China perfectly aligned with the central government's Party rectification efforts. A year had passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China on May 1948, 5, and various problems had arisen frequently. The central government was most concerned that after conquering the country, Party members and cadres would lose their revolutionary will and become corrupt.

-Every one of them regards himself as a founding hero, -Every one of them thinks that he has made contributions to the revolution and has forgotten his revolutionary beliefs.

In terms of status, seniority and merit are important; in life, pomp and enjoyment are important.

Not to mention ordinary party members and cadres.

Even some high-ranking cadres of the Party and the military encountered various problems after entering the city. The Central Committee issued a clear order that after entering the city, the housing of all Party members and cadres would be solved uniformly. However, some high-ranking cadres, including military cadres, occupied some

A good house, or you can build a house that you are satisfied with by yourself.

After entering the city, party members and cadres started a trend of divorcing their wives and marrying foreign students.

All these have greatly tarnished the image of the Party.

This made the chairman and others very angry.

It hasn't been long since they entered the city, and these seasoned cadres have become like this.

That's why the Central Committee decided to launch a Party rectification campaign to provide a profound education for Party members and cadres nationwide. It just so happened that the "Three Antis Movement" initiated and directed by Gao Gang in Northeast China was a very suitable entry point for the Party rectification.

The "Three Antis Movement" was a plus point politically.

After Gao Gang became familiar with the work of the Central Committee and the Secretariat, the Central Committee decided to expand the "Three Antis Movement" from the Northeast to the whole country and gave Gao Gang full responsibility for the "Three Antis Movement."

In order to support the "Three Antis Movement", Comrade Xiuyang presided over the first national organizational work conference.

It was decided that the entire Party would carry out a three-year rectification campaign.

"Comrades, our Secretariat will lead the national 'Three Antis Movement'. Before launching the 'Three Antis Movement' nationwide, we must solicit opinions widely. Everyone has been promoted from the local level to the central level and is familiar with the local conditions. Let's speak freely and come up with the best plan."

plan and successfully completed the Three Antis Movement'.

Gao Gang is proud.

His working style in the Northeast is also overbearing.

But that was because Gao Gang was the top leader of the Party, government, and military in Northeast China, and no one could challenge him. However, after being promoted to the central government, although Gao Gang was in charge of the Secretariat, he lacked the authority he once held. Furthermore, the current Secretariat secretaries all came from local lords.

So Gao Gang still controls his temper very well.

Moreover, Gao Gang is still very capable when working.

"Then let me say a few words first."

Peng Zhen began, "I've carefully reviewed the 'Three Antis Movement' in Northeast China. Overall, it was successful. But there were also some problems that I believe must be corrected."

Peng Zhen looked at Gao Gang and spoke directly.

Gao Gang and Peng Zhen once again worked together in the Secretariat.

They first partnered in Northeast China and are now partnering in Central China. However, their partnership isn't entirely harmonious, with constant clashes. Furthermore, their positions have completely reversed over the years.

At the Seventh National Congress, Peng Zhen held a high position, not only a member of the Politburo but also an alternate member of the Secretariat. Although Gao Gang was on the Politburo, his position was not as high as Peng Zhen's.

But over the years, Gao Gang's status has skyrocketed, and he currently manages the Secretariat. Conversely, Peng Zhen's status has steadily declined due to numerous mistakes he made in Northeast China, and now he can only work under Gao Gang.

"Comrade Peng Zhen, please speak. I am all ears.

Gao Gang behaved very magnanimously.

But he was furious. The "Three Antis Movement" he had led in Northeast China had been highly praised by the Chairman and his colleagues. Now that the Secretariat was discussing expanding the "Three Antis Movement" nationwide, the Northeastern experience was paramount. But Peng Zhen's revelation was a far cry from Gao Gang's satisfaction.

However, Peng Zhen didn't care about Gao Gang's attitude.

Anyway, the two have been fighting for several years.

Peng Zhen said: "I read the materials of the Northeast Three Antis Movement, including the results of the treatment of those corrupt party members and cadres. I think the Northeast Bureau treated these party members and cadres too arbitrarily. Our party has been formulating the punishment of party members and cadres since the Second and Third Sessions of the Seventh Central Committee.

For example, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee has also been drafting anti-corruption laws. We have enacted numerous laws and regulations, including internal Party disciplinary rules, to provide a solid basis for handling Party members and cadres. However, the Northeast Bureau's "Three Antis Campaign" ignored these established internal Party regulations and laws, resulting in a highly arbitrary handling of cases.

Gao Gang was stunned.

He had never expected Peng Zhen to say this.

Exercise, exercise.

The rectification movement within the Party was a political movement. Political movements are, of course, politically driven. When did laws, regulations, and Party rules come into play?

Gao Gang has experienced so many internal party rectification movements, and it has always been like this. Internal party rectification usually means issuing rectification documents, and according to the rectification documents, internal party rectification can be carried out. This time he promoted and presided over the "Three Antis Movement" in the Northeast, and also regarded the "Three Antis Movement" as an internal party rectification.

The Rectification Movement was a political movement. It was enough to have the documents of the "Three Antis Movement."

Wei Hongjun nodded beside him.

I totally agree with Peng Zhen's idea.

So I said: "I think what Comrade Peng Zhen said makes sense.

Gao Gang and Peng Zhen were both surprised when Wei Hongjun spoke.

From the national disarmament work in 1946, the National Land Conference in 1947, the Seventh Central Committee, the Third National Finance and Economics Conference in 1948, the Third National Conference of the Seventh Central Committee, and many other important meetings, Gao Gang and Wei Hongjun had always had some kind of cooperation between them.

Regardless of whether they are really cooperating, the two people have the same views on many issues.

Especially after the end of the Pingjin Campaign and the relocation of the Central Committee to North China, at several important central meetings, the two most powerful local central bureaus, the North China Bureau and the Northeast Bureau, always moved in unison.

As a result, Comrade Xiuyang had difficulty stepping down several times.

So much so that Peng Zhen was a little worried about the two people during the meeting. Because Gao Gang and Wei Hongjun are the two political stars with the fastest rising momentum in the party. Gao Gang is a member of the Politburo of the Seventh National Congress, and it is very likely that he will become a heavyweight member of the Politburo Standing Committee.

And Wei Hongjun is also a cadre who has one foot in the Politburo.

Once these two people move in unison, even Comrade Xiuyang will have a headache.

What’s more, it’s Peng Zhen.

Peng Zhen really didn't expect that a cadre as outstanding in both military and political aspects as Wei Hongjun would emerge from the Jin-Cha-Ji region under his charge.

So when Wei Hongjun spoke, Peng Zhen was actually very nervous. Among the current secretaries of the Secretariat, the highest-ranking and most influential figures are Gao Gang, Wei Hongjun, Peng Zhen, and Deng Xixian.

If Wei Hongjun supports Gao Gang, then he will be unable to do anything to Gao Gang.

But he didn't expect that Wei Hongjun actually supported his opinion. Gao Gang's face was rather ugly, and he looked at Wei Hongjun with a frown. Wei Hongjun didn't care what Gao Gang thought of him at all.

Because Wei Hongjun only talks about the facts.

So he continued: "The Northeast Three Antis Movement" was indeed a bit arbitrary in its treatment of Party members and cadres. Some people were severely punished for minor crimes, while others were lightly punished for serious crimes. There was no clear standard. How could such punishments convince the cadres below, and how could we ensure that our "Three Antis" were carried out?

The fairness and justice of the "movement". I believe this is because the Northeast Bureau did not follow the regulations previously formulated by the Central Committee. This is a lesson that must be learned.

"Yes. That's what I mean."

Peng Zhen was very happy.

With Wei Hongjun's support, this matter can be discussed properly. But just as Peng Zhen was about to speak, Wei Hongjun said: "The Northeast Bureau should conduct self-examination and self-correction. Correct the punishments in the "Three Antis Movement" that are inconsistent with the party's regulations and laws and regulations. But I think

In order for the Secretariat to carry out the "Three Antis Movement" nationwide, it was necessary to find out the root cause of this problem so as to avoid such incidents from happening again in the future.

Wei Hongjun actually didn't want to dwell too much on this aspect.

Because if he gets too entangled, Peng Zhen will definitely take this opportunity to suppress Gao Gang and re-examine the Northeast "Three Antis Movement" in a big way. Especially now that the Secretary of the Northeast Bureau is Lin Feng, if Lin Feng leads the Northeast Bureau, he will be able to re-examine the name of the "Three Antis Movement".

If the cadres responsible for the "Three Antis Movement" were dealt with righteously, the situation would be out of control. It would be very likely that the internal rectification movement would turn into a struggle among factions and a struggle for interests.

Northeast China is currently undertaking so many Soviet aid projects. Once a large-scale conflict occurs within the party, it will be very detrimental to the work in Northeast China.

Although Gao Gang is in charge of the daily work of the Secretariat, Comrade Xiuyang is also responsible for party affairs and propaganda work of the Party Central Committee.

If the Secretariat believed that there was something wrong with the "Three Antis Movement" in Northeast China led by Gao Gang, then Comrade Xiuyang could legitimately take charge of the "Three Antis Work" and suppress Gao Gang. With Gao Gang's temper, if he encountered such a thing, who knows what would happen next.

This is not what Wei Hongjun wants.

In fact, although the Northeast Bureau's "Three Antis Movement" had its problems, it was generally very successful. Or perhaps it can be said that the "Three Antis Movement" led by Gao Gang himself was very successful.

A little flaw should not negate his achievements. So Wei Hongjun expressed his point of view very directly: "We must clearly understand what the goal of our "Three Antis Movement" is? Is the goal of our "Three Antis Movement" just to solve the current problems? I think

I think that the purpose of the Three Antis Movement is to train our team, improve the system of regulations for Party members and cadres, and improve the construction of the judicial and public security systems of New China. In other words, the Three Antis Movement has three tasks. One is to rectify

The Party should educate our Party members and cadres so that they do not forget our revolutionary beliefs. Then, our Party should formulate a more complete code of conduct for Party members and cadres in this process to constrain our vast number of Party members and cadres. Finally, it should formulate laws.

More clear laws and regulations will also provide training for the judicial and public security forces of New China.

Wei Hongjun slowly expressed his thoughts.

What is one exercise?

What New China really needs to do is to use this movement to establish a complete system of intra-party supervision and legal supervision.

Including how to rectify the party, how to formulate rules for party members, and legal regulations.

Wei Hongjun didn't just say one or two words.

But there are very detailed ideas.

Gao Gang was somewhat grateful to Wei Hongjun, but more of a fear of him.

The person most familiar with the "Three Antis" campaign within the current Central Committee is undoubtedly Gao Gang. After all, it was he who initiated it in Northeast China and is now responsible for the nationwide campaign. Gao Gang has devoted a great deal of effort to ensuring its successful completion.

But Gao Gang hadn't expected Wei Hongjun to have such a complete plan for the "Three Antis Movement." He was a secretary of the Secretariat working in the State Council every day, a cadre who had never been in charge of the "Three Antis Movement." Now, he had a plan for the "Three Antis Movement" that was even more complete than his own. How could Gao Gang feel?

"Comrade Wei Hongjun is right. We cannot be content with catching small tigers (those who embezzled over 10 million old currency) or big tigers (those who embezzled over 100 million old currency). If we are satisfied with just that, it won't be long before new tigers, both big and small, emerge in droves. Therefore, we must utilize the 'Three Antis Movement' to improve various rules and regulations while also strengthening our ranks. We must arrest tigers, big or small, as soon as they emerge, rather than waiting until they become rampant.

Dong Biwu spoke.

Dong Biwu was specially invited to participate in this Secretariat meeting.
