1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Everyone nodded one after another.

As Mark & ​​Griffin and NGW continue to expand, they will definitely not just stay in Shanghai in the future, but will go to more places;

If Ms. Field can't give them a clear direction, and everyone does their own thing, dispersing their strength is the worst part. But what if they run into each other on the battlefield one day?

Are they going to shoot each other?

"I understand, but you all made two fatal mistakes that led to this doubt."

"Wha...what?"

"First, you are American volunteers coming to aid the Chinese people. You are not American officials, and you do not represent the political will of the United States."

Springfield raised a finger and waved it, revealing a somewhat sly smile. "As the US government, we can aid a certain force, and that represents our political will, but you should always stand solely on the side of the Chinese people. As for who the Chinese people choose, that's their business."

These words meant one thing to ordinary soldiers, but they meant something else to the government officials who accompanied Springfield to China:

With you here, the United States can avoid many unnecessary political accusations and public opinion difficulties.

For example, intervening in and invading other countries. After all, they are all "volunteers"!

It is impossible for Her Highness the Saint and the US government to manage every citizen and every company.

"Second, I am not an omniscient and omnipotent God. I cannot clearly predict who is truly and most qualified to represent the Chinese people, and who we should assist;"

"So, you should see with your own eyes, hear with your ears, communicate with your heart, and think with your brain, instead of waiting for me to give you instructions."

Ms. Field is truly a unique saint. She could be a god, but she never wants to be one.

“You mean to say that we are free to choose who to support?”

"Yes, that's your freedom. No matter who you choose to support, I only hope that you will never harm civilians in any country and try your best not to get involved in wars between local forces."

"So...what if the military harms civilians?" "What do you think?"

"I understand, Ms. Field."

"Haha, I'm very happy with your questions today, because it means you are not bound by my thoughts, but have thought a lot on your own. This is a Sunnah worthy of praise."

"How about this, the three of you, come with me to Nanchang this time, and then each of you will head to the forces you think you should support!"

"Yes! Ms. Field!"*3!

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what are your three names?" "Lydon Johnson!"

"Gerald Ford!" "Richard Nixon!"

448 Going to the City to Change Wife, Nanchang Rectification Movement

"..Are bourgeois women a hundred times more reactionary than bourgeois men..." Li Desheng, who had just returned to Nanchang from Yulin on Chiang Kai-shek's special plane, fell into deep thought as he looked at the telegram sent by Chen Geng reporting on the recent situation.

Due to limited circumstances, although Li Desheng had never seen this sentence, the principle is the same, and it did not prevent him from understanding and drawing the same conclusion based on his accumulated knowledge of Marxism-Leninism:

"Well said...well said..." "Well said what? What are you looking at?"

Wu Hao's voice rang out, and Li Desheng turned around and handed over the telegram:

"Look at this... here, this sentence, does it feel like you've seen this somewhere before?"

"...Let me see..."

Wu Hao, who had an excellent memory, looked at it for a while, thought for a few seconds, and clapped his hands: "I remember now, it was Rosa Luxemburg who said it! I saw it at Xiao Chao's place! Wait a minute!"

With that, he quickly ran out. This reaction confused Li Desheng.

While Rosa Luxemburg's words do make sense, there's no need to react so strongly, right?

About ten minutes later, Wu Hao came back hurriedly with a pile of documents and handed one to Li Desheng:

"Here! Look! It's this one!"

"...economically and socially, the women of the exploiting classes are not an independent part of the population; their only social function is to serve as a tool for the perpetuation of the ruling class..."

"Yes, they are certainly much more reactionary than the men of their class.... Bourgeois women, except for a few who have jobs, basically do not participate in social production;"

“They are merely co-consumers of the surplus value which their husbands extract from the proletariat; they are parasites among parasites in the social organism;”

“Such consumers, in defending their parasitic existence, are often more frantic and brutal than the direct bearers of class domination and exploitation, as the history of all great revolutionary struggles horribly attests.”

“In Paris in 1871, when the heroic Communards were routed by machine guns, the frenzied women of the bourgeoisie outdid even their bestial husbands in their bloody revenge on the oppressed proletariat.”

After quickly reading Rosa Luxemburg's speech at the Second Social Democratic Women's Conference in Stuttgart, Germany, on May 12, 1912, Li Desheng was silent for a moment and asked:

"From what you're saying, this kind of thing has happened to our party as well?"

"I can't hide it from you. You haven't been in Nanchang for over six months, so you don't know. Just like what Comrade Ma Shiwu said, everything was fine before we entered the city, but once we entered, all kinds of monsters and demons began to emerge."

Wu Hao smiled bitterly and said:

"I anticipated that Party members and cadres would be corrupted, but I never imagined that the speed of corruption would be so rapid."

"..A large amount of corruption has occurred again?" Li Desheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Although he has long fully agreed with the saying "the fight against corruption is a never-ending journey", he still can't help but feel itchy when he sees corrupt elements who oppress the people and harm the country for their own benefit.

Kill kill kill kill kill kill!

"That's not the case. The comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission are busy, so not many of them get targeted. However, there are indeed quite a few comrades who show signs of being greedy for pleasure..."

Wu Hao began to introduce some bad phenomena that have occurred in the past six months since "moving to the city".

Compared with the extravagant Shanghai, Nanchang is not worth mentioning, but compared with the revolutionary base in Ruijin, it is simply a paradise.

As a result, after the CCP entered the city, chaos ensued.

Some cadres are reluctant to leave the city after entering it, and do not want to work in remote, impoverished, and rural areas. They are even reluctant to go to the relatively wealthy and convenient areas around Nanchang.

Some cadres regarded themselves as victors and rulers, demanding good housing, cars for errands, and bossing the masses and soldiers about, even beating people for questioning them.

Some cadres believed that the revolution had been decided by the occupation of Nanchang, Yulin, and other places, and began clamoring for salary increases, rank adjustments, and corresponding benefits. They argued over the level of positions and the quality of their positions, and their faces turned red.

"...Although these cases were rare and we promptly stopped and punished them, they still created a very bad impression among the general public, especially among some female comrades..."

After thinking it over and pausing, Wu Hao continued to explain the situation:

"Some female comrades think they are the wives of leaders and demand a nanny, some use the excuse that they are busy with work and need someone to take care of them, and some try to find ways to get less busy and easier jobs;"

"Some female comrades would frequently visit jewelry and clothing stores in Nanchang. Although they didn't buy anything, they kept close contact with the owners and borrowed their jewelry..."

"boom!"

Li Desheng couldn't help but punch the table!

They had only taken Nanchang, half of Wuhan, and Yulin! Simply put, they had only controlled the north-south passages in central China, and were still a long way from liberating the entire country!

This group of people!

This group of people!

No no no, calm down, calm down...

No matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than when Comrade Ma Shiwu first arrived in the Central Soviet Area.

Human nature... Human nature!!!

Li Desheng took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and continued to ask: "Besides this, what else is there?"

"And..."

"Are you two arguing?"

A soft female voice sounded, and Li and Wu had to stop talking and look at the person who came:

"Xiao Chao." "Sister Deng." "Hehe."

Deng Yingchao, with a pregnant face full of love, walked in with a smile: "I heard someone pounding the table from a long distance away. With such force, I guess it's definitely not the one from my family."

,

Li Desheng could only smile apologetically:

"I lost my temper a little bit, please forgive me."

"It's okay. This isn't the first time we've seen your temper. It's actually much better than before... So, what's the story behind this? Can I hear it?"

"that is.….."

There was no need to hide these topics from Deng Yingchao. After hearing them, she remained quite calm:

"It's indeed a common phenomenon. Some people even come to me, the secretary's wife, and indirectly ask me to take the lead and 'set an example.' If I set an example, they will follow suit."

Wu Hao couldn't hold it back any longer, and the anger between his brows became more prominent. But then his wife slapped him down with the next sentence:

"However, in this regard, gay men aren't much better than lesbians. Enlai, has anyone come to you lately wanting to swap wives?"

"Uh..."

"Swap your wife?"

"Yes, wife swapping, Runzhi, there shouldn't be such a thing in Yulin, right?" "...at least it hasn't come to my attention."

To be honest, neither Li Desheng nor Wu Hao really cared much about the cadres' marriage and divorce.

Under the politically correct premise of "freedom of marriage", divorce and marriage are personal choices and there is really not much room for criticism.

What's more, regarding the issue of men and women, the current reality in China is here. Many things cannot be dealt with in a one-size-fits-all manner or even blamed.

for example.

He Long, who had collaborated with Li Desheng in the "Wuhan Victory" and made enormous contributions to the revolution, was currently experiencing a headache because his second wife, Xiang Yuangu, and his third wife, Hu Qinxian, had come to the base together, causing a conflict with his fourth wife, Jian Xianren!

You know, he didn't divorce any of these three wives. His third wife, Hu Qinxian, wasn't even his so-called "principal wife," but a "concubine"...

"That's very common here." Deng Yingchao said sarcastically:

"There are so many pretty girls in Nanchang, and many grown men are itching to get their hands on them!"

After briefly expressing her dissatisfaction with the lecherous expressions of some men, Deng Yingchao suppressed her anger and calmly reminded:

"I know you don't take it seriously, but don't take this wife-swapping issue lightly. Since ancient times, marriage has always been an important means of tying up interests and seizing power. Don't think we're an exception just because we're a revolutionary."

Li Desheng and Wu Hao looked at each other, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Marriage!

It's not so bad for female cadres to be corrupted and lured into favoring flowers, plants, gold, silver, and jewelry. Interest groups like these, bound together by marriage, are more solid and more difficult to control!

The CCP's influence is not yet great, and its control over territory is not yet widespread, yet some people have already begun using this method to corrupt and win over cadres. What will happen in a few years?

At that time, those in power within the party will appear to be members of the Communist Party on the surface, but who are the people behind these Communist Party members, and whose interests do they represent?

Will this party still be a communist party by then?

Can it still represent the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people?

"...This issue must be taken seriously. Runzhi and I both believe it should be brought up for discussion at the First Sequence level. What do you think?"

After Deng Yingchao left, Li Desheng and Wu Hao called Wang Jiaxiang, the third member of the Politburo Standing Committee, to inform him of these events and their own thoughts, and to seek his opinion.

Unexpectedly, the latter had already known about this matter for a long time, and his attitude was quite clear:

"I was planning to discuss this matter with you. I recently investigated the situation and I think we're doing too little to manage the private lives of our cadres."

"Private life... too little control?"

"Well, according to my understanding, after entering Nanchang, at least 30 CCP members and cadres have been clamoring to change their wives. Seven of them have already dumped their previous wives. Can you guess what their reasons are?"

Wang Jiaxiang's face showed an obvious, sharp and sarcastic smile:

"The reason is that they're emotionally incompatible, their ideas aren't progressive enough, and they can't keep up with their revolutionary pace. But I've noticed that most of the people flirting with them are pretty young girls!"

"Oh, by the way, among the 30 or so people I know, their 'new wives' seem to be either from middle-class families or wealthy businessmen from all over the place. I think you should know what this means."

Wu Hao was silent, and Li Desheng was also quiet.

Apart from the people and things that caused a big stir, they were busy with various revolutionary work and knew very little about these private intrigues.

In the past, they always thought that in the face of the great revolutionary work, emotional issues between men and women seemed so insignificant. But now it seems that emotional issues between men and women have the potential to harm the revolution and may even have far-reaching consequences!

"Comrade Jiaxiang, what are your thoughts?"

"First, investigate! Thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of those who've recently switched wives and their wives! I'm sure there will be many surprises. And just like with Comrade Ma Shiwu last time, we'll use them to shock the entire Party, the entire army, and the entire nation!"

"this..."

Of course, Wu Hao knew that these people were not having any "emotional discord" and that his new wife's background might really be problematic, but rashly launching such an investigation would not only arouse opposition within the party, but would also cause panic among the "relevant people", which would be troublesome.

After "entering the city", the CCP truly felt for the first time how much more difficult it was to manage and operate a city than to manage rural areas. As soon as they opened their eyes, countless people had to eat, drink and work.
