Chapter 65 Letter to Wang Yizhe[1]

(1936) Ding Fang Army Commander Medal: The Japanese aggression is intensifying, and it is time for both brothers and us to step up preparations for national salvation, and it is of the greatest benefit to the national salvation front.My brother is far-sighted and agrees with this.The current international and Chinese situation is increasingly tense. On the one hand, the aggressors are mobilizing their aggression front, and on the other hand, the anti-aggressionists are mobilizing the masses on a large scale to form a front for peace and national salvation.Although the traitor forces in China are becoming more and more arrogant (such as the so-called faction that uses the Japanese to control Chiang, the political party to control the party, and the regiment to control the army), the anti-Japanese and anti-traitor forces have also greatly increased.The beginning of some changes in Jiang's policy and the formation of the left wing of the Nanjing Kuomintang are indeed almost gratifying phenomena.If Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang can resolutely abandon the past policies, restore Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of alliance with Russia, the Communist Party of China, agriculture and industry, stop attacking the Red Army, and open the ban on various factions. My brother and others are very willing to unite with them and jointly undertake the cause of resisting Japan and saving the nation.Negotiations between the two sides will now enter a more concrete stage. Although it is still unknown when it will be achieved, there is hope.If we can reach the realm of success, it will be of great convenience to our cooperation.

Recently, it has been rumored that Jiang will attack the Northeast Army after the Southwest issue[2] is resolved, saying that the policy of division will be used against Deputy Commander Zhang[3].If this news is true, it means that Jiang has not given up his sinister policy of sowing dissension and eliminating dissidents.If the policy is to be implemented, I can assert that Chiang will be the final loser, because the idea of ​​Deputy Commander Zhang and my brother to unite with Russia, the Communist Party, and the Communist Party to resist Japan and save the nation is not the idea of ​​a few people, but the idea of ​​patriotic compatriots all over the country; The untrue and impure claims of Chen Jitang and others are sincere claims for the country and the nation.Whoever opposes Deputy Commander Zhang and my brother, not only the Red Army led by the brothers will use all their strength to denounce the criminal actions of Jiang and the rebels in the Northeast Army, but also the patriotic people of the whole country and the international revolutionary forces will never tolerate Jiang and others. Dry.As for the determination of the majority of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army to fight against Japan and restore the country and their solid organization, the very few unambitious elements in the Northeast Army must not be allowed to fulfill their selfish desires and allow them to commit the heinous deeds of treason and rebel groups.At present, Jiang and his faction are also starting the policy of uniting Russia and the Communist Party. My brother and Deputy Commander Zhang are the first to advocate and implement this policy. How can they be rejected as guilty? From this point of view, my brother deeply hopes for this The talk is limited to rumors, or it is planned for some traitors left and right of Jiang, not the opinions of most conscientious elements of Jiang and the Kuomintang who are now beginning some changes.However, brothers and sisters should still be vigilant and unite with their own groups to prevent some unscrupulous elements in the Northeast group from taking the opportunity to make trouble. Then, with the favorable situation in the whole country and the Northwest, and the combined strength of the Northeast Army and the Red Army, we will never be afraid of what happens to the outside world. The storm also.The autumn wind is so fierce, it is a national treasure.This is in a hurry.
