(August 24, 1945) Rao Zhanglai [1] and turn millet leaves [2]: All calls. (1) The current situation changed, the anti-Japanese phase ended, and the peaceful construction phase began. (2) The slogan of our party is peace, democracy and unity. (3) Carry out peaceful, democratic, and united work in large cities, strive for the status of our party, and refrain from the policy of military occupation. (4) Strive to occupy small cities and villages. (5) The central government is negotiating with Chongqing to avoid civil war and realize the peaceful establishment of the country. (6) Chiang Kai-shek had many difficulties, coupled with pressure from home and abroad, he might be in favor of peaceful nation-building.

(7) The main forces of our armies in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River assembled and trained on the spot, recovered from fatigue, recharged their energy, and prepared to resolutely, thoroughly, cleanly, and completely wipe out the recalcitrant army when it attacked (don't hit lightly, and you will win if you hit every time. Destroy one of them at a time, and break them one by one).A few big victories have been fought, and the power has shocked the north and south, which is very beneficial to the negotiation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the stubborn army dare not underestimate you.

(8) Make long-term plans for everything and rely on the people. (9) Try to buy bullets from the enemy and puppets, the sooner the better, and at the same time, pay attention to collecting military materials from the enemy's and puppets' retreat areas for a long-term plan.
