Chapter 60 The main policy to deal with the United States and Jiang is not concession but struggle

(July 6, 1946) Li and Huang[1]: The current situation analysis telegram [2] was received.Many points of view in your analysis are realistic and good, but the shortcoming is that you underestimate the difficult conditions for US imperialism and Chiang Kai-shek, and at the same time underestimate the favorable conditions for the international and domestic people's democratic forces.After the Second World War, the position of the revolutionary forces in various countries is much better than after the First World War, not worse.We should make concessions to the pressure and demands of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek, but the main policy is not concessions but struggle.If our party not only makes considerable concessions, but also resolutely fights against its unreasonable oppression and unreasonable demands, the result will be better than paying more and greater concessions; if there is no resolute fighting spirit, the result will be extremely poor. Bad.

Mao Zedong afternoon fish Printed from manuscript. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ note [1] Li, refers to Li Fuchun (1900-1975), a native of Changsha, Hunan, who was a political commissar of the Ximan Military Region of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army at that time.Huang refers to Huang Kecheng, who was then the commander of the Ximan Military Region of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army. [2] Refers to the telegram sent by Li Fuchun and Huang Kecheng to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on June 28, 1946.The telegram said: During the Second World War, the power of the people of all countries in the world has developed greatly, and the contradiction between imperialism centered on the United States and the power of the people centered on the Soviet Union has become more acute.But the people's power after the war did not form a large-scale liberation movement like the one after the First World War, and imperialism did not experience a serious crisis like it did then.During China's eight-year war of resistance, the power of the people also achieved unprecedented development and growth. The entire counter-revolutionary forces in China were weakened during the war of resistance, but the power of Chiang Kai-shek, the central force of the counter-revolution, was strengthened after the war.Based on the above analysis, the party's policy is to strive to preserve its strength and wait for an opportunity.The specific method is: make concessions to achieve peace, delay to wait for the opportunity, and fight resolutely to win or lose.It is now the last moment of peace.It is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek will not put down his butcher knife because of our concessions, so it is better to adopt a policy of resolutely fighting.This policy is also dangerous, and there is little chance of victory, but if it is played well, it may be stopped and stopped, and it can be persisted for a long time to wait for fundamental changes at home and abroad.
