Chapter 39 Turn the fake peace movement of the enemy into the true peace movement of the people[1]

(July 18, 1948) After the enemy's peaceful movement appears publicly, it is estimated that there will be two effects.On the one hand, it may temporarily confuse some people; on the other hand, it will shake and disintegrate the Kuomintang army and its rear.For this latter reason, although the Kuomintang is preparing to launch a peace conspiracy, it still has great misgivings.In view of these two possibilities, our party's nationwide exposure work should be based on the situation after the enemy's peace movement is launched. On the one hand, we should resolutely expose the deception of the enemy's peace movement so that the masses will not be deceived; , calling on the masses to rise up against fake peace and demand real peace.Its specific requirements should be that the United States stop aiding the Kuomintang, the U.S. military and its military delegation withdraw from China, cancel all Chinese treaties of treason to the United States, the Kuomintang and its government openly admit to the people the mistake of launching a civil war, punish all war criminals, and abolish the false constitution Puppet National Congress and the reactionary government established based on the pseudo-constitution and puppet National Congress, convene the People's Congress, establish a democratic coalition government that does not include the reactionaries, abolish the secret service agencies, implement freedom of speech and assembly, fight against hunger, against persecution, and confiscate bureaucratic capital , carry out land reform.In this way, the false peace movement of the US imperialists and the Kuomintang has been transformed into a movement for the people to demand real peace, so as to cooperate with the offensive operations of the People's Liberation Army and accelerate the speed of the disintegration and collapse of the reactionaries.When the above-mentioned slogans were put forward in Jiang's administrative area, they should be increased or decreased according to the situation permitted by the mood of the masses and the environment. isolated himself.
