I'd like to sign up too!

But do you think that if we report these things, Comrade Stalin and Moscow will definitely deal with them?

Well, even if we succeed in replacing Mif or even all the people in the Communist International, will the new people be non-bureaucratic? Most likely!

It is easy to imagine what kind of attitude they will adopt towards the CCP that is "making a complaint"!

Therefore, reporting the Mif issue to the Comintern or even directly attacking the Comintern itself will have no effect other than offending the Comintern and making future aid more difficult! Li Desheng, Li Desheng! You oversimplify the bureaucracy and bureaucracy!

Wu Hao's plan was to expose Wang Ming's affairs and publicly report them to the Communist International in the name of the CPC Central Committee. By then, Stalin would naturally know about it.

Once Stalin knew that Wang Ming was Mif's "favored disciple" and even what happened at the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, it would be impossible to conceal it. He would have to deal with Mif no matter what. In this way, the Communist Party of China achieved its goal of dealing with people without directly offending them, and also making Stalin and Moscow pay more attention to the Communist Party of China.

The only person who committed such a heinous mistake could be Wang Ming!

It can only be Li De!

It can't be Mif and the Communist International itself!

In short, after some arguing, a "not too big" disagreement arose within the party regarding the proper course of action for Li De and several other foreigners. Almost everyone supported Wu Hao's opinion, while Li Desheng's "direct complaint" approach had almost no support. Li Desheng was furious:

"How can you be so bureaucratic? So unrealistic! Are the Soviets that easy to scare?"

"..."

Wu Hao ignored him and turned to UMP45, who was acting as an "observer" in the corner as usual: "Comrade Ma Shiwu, what do you think we should do?"

"...Ah... Sorry, I've already said that the SRP will not interfere in the CCP's internal decision-making." Following Mark's order, UMP45 shook her head.

"We only offer advice and support, but we don't interfere with your decisions. You make your own decisions and you are responsible for them."

"...Understood."

Wu Hao nodded and said to everyone: "Well, now let's vote by raising our hands!"

There is no doubt that Wu Hao's handling opinion won overwhelmingly.

Li Desheng left the venue on the grounds of "feeling unwell" and slammed the door.

131 Comrade Li Desheng, take this moral kidnapping from me

Li Desheng's action of slamming the door and leaving made everyone somewhat embarrassed, but to be honest, not many people were surprised that he could do such a thing.

for example.

Last year, when the CCP was deciding whether to attack Ganzhou, Li Desheng thought Peng Dehuai and others would support him. However, these military generals all voted in favor, which made him extremely unhappy and he complained bitterly. On January 7, when the CCP held its final meeting to issue the military order for the attack on Ganzhou, he still strongly opposed it, resulting in the meeting failing to reach a resolution.

There was no other way, so after dinner on the 7th, Wu Hao went to talk to Li Desheng again.

He originally wanted to persuade Li Desheng to "be patient for the sake of the country", but he was persuaded by Li Desheng instead. That night, he again sent a telegram to the Shanghai Central Committee under pressure, stating that Ganzhou could not be attacked for the time being.

At 8:1 am on January 8, the Shanghai Central Committee replied, "We must fight." The only thing missing between the lines was a threat: "Do you in the Central Soviet Area intend to disobey the orders of the Central Committee and the Communist International?"

There was no choice but for the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to issue the "Order on Attacking Ganzhou" on January 10, officially starting the attack on Ganzhou.

(This is the same question again - we have a God's perspective and know that Ganzhou cannot be attacked under any circumstances, but what about our revolutionary predecessors?)

To be honest and fair, Wu Hao had indeed done his utmost to achieve this, but Li Desheng was still full of resentment towards him. Today, he even gave Wu Hao the cold shoulder, causing quite a few people to stand up for him. However, Wu Hao himself had long been accustomed to this and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Ma Shiwu, this... Comrade Desheng's temper..."

"Haha, it's okay, we already knew this, it's normal!"

UMP45 still had a smile on her face, making it impossible to tell what she was really thinking. Wu Hao then tentatively asked:

"Well, regarding the opinions of those comrades, shall we implement this? Could you please ask the comrades of the World Revolutionary Party to convey our opinions to Moscow?" "Well... I suggest that you convey it yourself!"

UMP45 blinked meaningfully.

"After all, this matter is so serious, it's better to send someone to Moscow to report it in person. It's a long journey, and it takes time!"

Wu Hao understood what UMP45 meant, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up.

It was already midnight, and everyone was exhausted. Li Desheng had left again. The next day, there was a party member meeting and a Central Committee election meeting, so everyone dispersed to rest. However, UMP45 approached someone's room and heard intermittent coughing coming from inside:

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Comrade Li Desheng, Comrade He Zizhen, are you in there?" "...Ah! Comrade Shiwu!"

Hearing UMP45's voice, He Zizhen hurried out, surprised and puzzled, "You came here so late, what's going on?"

"I'm here to talk to Comrade Li Desheng."

"Oh? Please come in, it's just... he's washing his feet, I'm really sorry." "It's okay, it's okay..."

Compared to her previous "jealousy" and worry, He Zizhen was now much more calm. Even when a top beauty like Ma Shiwu came to see her husband late at night, she didn't show any objection. Li Desheng, with a gloomy and angry look on his face, soaked his feet in the basin and greeted:

"Comrade Shiwu is here? Please take a seat..."

"Haha, I won't sit down, Comrade Li Desheng. I'm just here to talk to you on behalf of my commander."

"..."

This was not the first time that Li Desheng heard the word "Commander" from UMP45.

It is obvious that this person, whose name is unknown, is the source behind her series of wills and thoughts.

She herself had said this more than once—"I was just following the commander's orders." Thinking of this, Li Desheng couldn't help but sit up straight and said solemnly:

"Please say."

"Excuse me, Comrade Li Desheng, are the views you expressed at the meeting today your true inner thoughts?" "Yes!"

Recalling what had happened at the meeting, Li Desheng remained indignant and worried, complaining to Ma Shiwu, the "outsider": "...Comrades always have a fear of the Soviet Union! If this continues, when will the Chinese Communist Party achieve independence?" Li Desheng understood deeply that since the shattering of the dream of a "Celestial Empire," the entire China had fallen into a state of great confusion; everyone blindly pursued everything "new and fashionable," especially foreign things, trying almost every possible route and method. In this process, including the Chinese Communists, they developed a deep-seated "fear" and "worship" of foreign countries. To put it bluntly, they thought the farts of almost all foreigners, especially the Soviets who shared their beliefs, were fragrant.

This is why so many people blindly followed the Soviet Union and the Communist International even when they clearly felt something was wrong and had discovered through practice that they were right. At the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, Mif's actions clearly violated organizational procedures (no voting, direct appointment of personnel), but many participants remained silent, including Wu Hao, who remained silent.

On the contrary, leaving aside the subsequent serious violations of organizational discipline such as "establishing a separate Central Committee," Li Desheng was extremely impressed by the performance of Luo Zhanglong and others at the meeting. A true Communist Party member should stand up and bravely fight this unhealthy trend!

(Later, the teacher wrote to Luo Zhanglong several times, hoping that he would reflect on his mistakes and return to the Party organization.) Therefore, after presenting Li De and Mi Fu's solution today, the comrades' reaction really disappointed and saddened Li Desheng. Physical strength is easy, but mental strength is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After hearing Li Desheng's words, UMP45 nodded:

"Yes, you are right. In fact, my commander agrees with your idea..." Li Desheng just smiled, but the next sentence froze his smile: "But do you think that your rash departure from the venue today was correct?" "Uh... I was ill..."

"Comrade Li Desheng, to be honest, how much of your sudden departure today was due to health reasons?"

.. "

Li Desheng was silent for a while and replied:

"It's true that most of it... No, it's mostly due to my temper, but that's because..."

"Don't worry about the reasons, Comrade Li Desheng."

UMP45, or rather, Mark behind UMP45, interrupted Li Desheng rudely:

"The meeting hasn't ended yet. As an important participant and even a decision-maker, you left the meeting without permission. Does this comply with organizational procedures and work discipline?" "...No."

"Let me ask you again, if after you left, they made some inappropriate decisions that harmed the Party, the country, and the people, and you were unable to stop them because you were not there, would that be a responsible behavior?" "No."

Because his opinion differed from everyone else's, he lost his temper and abandoned the comrades who were still discussing the issue. Is this a manifestation of uniting comrades and safeguarding the Party organization?" "No!"

Li Desheng understood UMP45's meaning, his face darkened slightly, and he raised his head and said clearly:

"Regarding this matter, I will make a self-criticism to the comrades at the meeting tomorrow, but I still insist on my point of view. Regarding the issues of Li De, Mif and others, we must report the truth to the Communist International and Moscow!"

Just as the Commander said and as recorded in history, he's truly stubborn... Indeed, only someone this stubborn could persist in following that path without wavering. Just like the Commander.

Wu Hao is an extremely good deputy, so good that almost no one can replace him; but his slightly smooth personality makes him unsuitable to be a leader;

The real leader must be the most stubborn one.

Thinking of Mark's order, UMP45 stood up straight and said seriously:

"Well, I'm going to convey to you a series of words from the commander. From now on, it's my commander who's talking to you."

Li Desheng was in a trance, and it seemed as if he saw another young man talking to him seriously. His expression became much calmer: "Please go ahead."

"Comrade Li Desheng, you are the best leader of the Communist Party of China, but you are not mature enough, your personality is too impatient, and you are unable to unite comrades well." "As to whether I am the best leader, I have reservations, but I acknowledge and agree with the problems you pointed out."

Li Desheng calmly admitted this:

"More than a decade ago, I wrote to a friend about my own problems. I'm very clear about them, but I can't change them. This is who I am."

“Yes, I admit that this is you, and I also agree and approve of this point. However, as someone who needs to lead the entire Communist Party of China and China forward, this is not acceptable.

"Why not? You're talking about heroism. I'm nothing special. Even if I die, sooner or later someone new will step forward and continue this path."

"Yes, that's right. Every generation has its own talented people... But how many more years of suffering will the Chinese people have to endure? How much longer will they have to endure this hellish existence? How many more Chinese people will have to sacrifice?"

"..."

Li Desheng was stunned, then fell silent.

"Comrade Li Desheng, you have to realize that not everyone is like you, not everyone has your vision and insight, and not everyone can tolerate your temper." In fact, not to mention outsiders, even Li Desheng's two younger brothers - Li Demin and Li Deqin - could not stand his "paternalistic" personality.

Li Deqin clashed with his brother several times over his personality, even going so far as to chase and beat him, using the excuse that "outside the home, my brother is like a father." This conflict only subsided after Li Deqin rebuked him, saying, "The Communist Party isn't patriarchal." Afterward, Li Desheng did apologize to his brother. Perhaps his family won't hold a grudge, but what about others?

Others are not your relatives, why should they tolerate your bad temper?

UMP45's tone became more serious, even taking on a hint of impatience and command:

"You must grow up quickly, change your impatient temperament and blunt style, and learn to unite with your comrades. This is an extremely painful process, and it may even accompany you throughout your life, but you must do it!" "!!!"

What kind of temper does Li Desheng have?

This tone immediately made him unhappy:

"You can't force a person to change his or her natural character!"

"Yes, personality is innate, but if you don't change it, it will cause irreparable damage to the Party, the people, the army, and the country!" "Huh?"

Li Desheng was confused.

It's just my own personality, how can it be involved...

"Don't think I'm joking. In fact, we in the World Revolutionary Party have watched the CCP make countless wrong decisions without stopping them. This is the reason;" "The CCP must have its own strong error-correcting capabilities. Otherwise, we can stop it once, twice, or three times, but we can't stop it forever;"

"Comrade Li Desheng, if you cannot learn to control your temper, unite with your comrades, and seek common ground while reserving differences as much as possible, you will not be able to gain the support of your comrades. Then, how can you realize your correct propositions?" "If you cannot realize your correct propositions, how can you ensure the continued victory of the Communist Party of China?"

"By then, the damage caused will only get greater each time!"

"If you wait until then to learn to grow up, the price of your growth will be the blood of hundreds of thousands of comrades and millions of people!" "Please... I beg you to think carefully about this! Comrade Li Desheng!"

132 Re-election of the CPC Central Committee

"...For this, I sincerely apologize to all comrades and make a serious self-examination to the organization..."

The next morning, before the preparatory meeting was held, all the (alternate) members of the Central Committee, (alternate) members of the Central Political Bureau, the Central Executive Committee, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and (some) members of the Central Bureaus of various Soviet areas looked on in amazement as Li Desheng took the initiative to run to the front of the stage to make a self-criticism.

For those who know him, the first thought that comes to mind is: So... the sun rises from the west?

Did Marx come back to life, or did Engels lead Germany to a communist revolution? This guy... he... he actually apologized?

And a public apology?

Didn't we handle it as coldly as possible before?

Who persuaded him, or did he really realize the problem himself?

Some people who were not familiar with Li Desheng (especially those from other Soviet areas) were even more surprised:

Is this the style in the Central Soviet Area?

Even the president of a country has to self-criticize after making a mistake?

No matter what everyone thought, Li Desheng's apology made many people feel better and they quickly put their previous grudges behind them.

Ultimately, we were all here to make revolution, and while we might have slightly different opinions, viewpoints, and temperaments, within the larger context of "making revolution," we could tolerate each other. That's why Wang Ming's behavior seemed so unacceptable.

Because that is no different from being a traitor.

Wu Hao, who had been talking with Li Desheng until 5 a.m. this morning and had once again reached a "reconciliation," clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Alright, now that Comrade Li Desheng has completed his self-criticism, let's officially begin the meeting! Today's topic is the addition and removal of candidates for the Central Committee and alternate members!" (Well, these two are the type who argue and then make up, then continue arguing after making up, and most likely the Prime Minister tolerates the teachers.)

(Incidentally, even when Zhu De first began collaborating with teachers, the conflict between the two sides was extremely intense, so intense that a large-scale discussion began within the Party on whether to "get rid of Mao and keep Zhu" or "get rid of Zhu and keep Mao"). (So, it is almost impossible to expect people's thoughts to be completely aligned without deviation.)

"

...

Everyone was solemn.

During this period, party representatives from all over the country had preliminarily selected some "reserves", and then they all returned one after another (otherwise the Central Soviet Area could not afford to support them).

The wait until today is essentially for all (past and present) Central Committee members to arrive and elect a new Central Committee and Politburo. Therefore, this meeting is also known as the "Fifth Plenary Session (Enlarged) of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."
