Chapter 91 2. The meeting of the "Big Three" in Yan'an determined a new policy

On November 21, 1946, the "Big Three" of the CCP: Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhou Enlai held a meeting of special significance in Yan'an cave dwellings. This is a rare meeting of the "Big Three" in the history of the CCP. The central topic of the meeting was to make an appropriate evaluation of the KMT-CCP ​​peace talks over the past year and to determine the CCP's future policy. As we all know, although Mao Zedong and the leaders of the CCP saw that it was difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to change his established policy of civil war and dictatorship, the CCP formulated a basic policy of fighting for peace and democracy in consideration of the urgent wishes of the people of the whole country and the unanimous tendency of public opinion at home and abroad. , and is committed to the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the promotion of the success of the CPPCC meeting.However, the dream was hard to come true. The Kuomintang violated the armistice agreement and the resolutions of the CPPCC, and provoked civil wars in various battlefields across the country.

Generalissimo Chiang held high the banner of "peace talks" with one hand; he waved the torch of civil war with the other. Mao Zedong confronted tit-for-tat without giving an inch, and adopted the policy of "fighting against fighting, talking through talks", that is, on the one hand, he used the war of self-defense to crush the Kuomintang's attack and defend the liberated areas; on the other hand, he continued to expose the Kuomintang through negotiations and educate the people of the whole country. The "Big Three" of the CCP believe that the situation in China has now reached a new stage.Since Nanjing held a "National Assembly" arranged by one party, the door to peace talks was closed, and the situation of fighting while talking came to an end.More than a year of practice has proved that Generalissimo Jiang will not give up the policy of "unifying China by force", and asking him to implement "peaceful democracy" is nothing but seeking skin from a tiger!

Of course, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhou Enlai were very clear about this.They also agreed that it was necessary to participate in the peace talks in the previous stage, and there were achievements and gains. "Now, although the peace talks have broken down and peace and democracy have not been realized, the gains should not be underestimated. The main thing is to make our party's policy of peace and democracy and Chiang's policy of dictatorship and civil war known to the masses." Zhou Enlai said earnestly. Liu Shaoqi pointed out: "The mission of the delegation is to expose Chiang Kai-shek, and the results prove the impossibility of compromise."

Mao Zedong said: "Comrade Enlai, the negotiations in Nanjing have achieved results and achieved the purpose of educating the people. However, the delegation cannot come back now. It must come back after the National Congress is held. In this way, the responsibility for the war and division will be clarified, and the responsibility for the war and division will be clear. Not to lose heart." As a seasoned politician, Mao Zedong is well deserved!He was thoughtful, meticulous, and even flawless!Therefore, it is not surprising that among the "Big Three", Mao Zedong is the leader!

The "Big Three" turned the topic to the military. Mao Zedong believed that: In military terms, the success of the war of annihilation has been proved by facts.So far, we have annihilated 38 brigades of the Kuomintang, and it is hard to imagine that we will not be able to annihilate them in the future.Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's offensive can be defeated.Mao Zedong also emphasized: "It is very cheap to break Chiang Kai-shek's seven or eight years of savings under the aid of the United States in one year and achieve a balance between the two parties. Of course it is worth it for me!"

Mao seemed resolute, but still cautious and arguably conservative.He said: "When the balance is reached, it will be easy to surpass. At that time, we can fight out, and then we can develop to the south of the Yangtze River. It will take three to five years. We cannot say that we will eliminate Chiang Kai-shek at that time." .It is better to estimate that things are a little more difficult. The worst is to fight for 15 years, and there is no county town, and we have to prepare for this.” Here, Mao Zedong proposed a new goal for the first time-to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek!However, he reckons it will take a little longer to accomplish that goal.Mao Zedong's proposal of this goal has shown people such a prospect: the CCP no longer confines war to the scope of "self-defense", and will carry out a large-scale "counter-offensive" if necessary!This is the latest policy established by the CCP in November 1946.Mao Zedong, he has made up his mind to fight Chiang Kai-shek!This is a policy based on "fighting" and emphasizing "fighting".A policy of "determination to fight to the end"!
