In any case, the current Nanjing government is still the only legal government in China and the only core that can command the military and political forces in all parts of the country. Only the Nanjing government can unite the strength of all strata and localities in the country to unite to resist the Japanese invaders.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been fighting for many years and have gone through five encirclement and suppression campaigns and counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns. The Communist Party has just completed the 25,000-mile Long March, which consumed huge amounts of money and is currently in a stage of recuperation.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for the Communist Party to assume the role of leader of the Anti-Japanese National United Front.
Mr. Li smiled and said: "The anti-Japanese war is the biggest national event of the entire Chinese nation at this stage. In the face of this major event, all hatred, disputes, and interests can be put aside for the time being, the civil war must be stopped, and the foreign affairs should be united. This is the principle and policy of our party."
"
"The suggestions your party issued to the whole country are exactly what I want. We should all work hard to achieve this goal. Although there are many hard-line anti-communist elements and stubborn anti-communist forces in the Kuomintang, we must still strive to establish an anti-Japanese united front." Lu Ming
He waved his fist and said.
Mr. Li smiled calmly and said: "We once cooperated with the Kuomintang and defeated the warlords across the country, allowing the Kuomintang government to unify the country. However, the Kuomintang betrayed the revolution, betrayed Mr. Sun's founding program, and betrayed the interests of the majority of the people in the country.
, this is the biggest dispute between us and the Kuomintang."
"Mr. Li, I would like to say that we won't mention the past, okay? Or, if the two parties have different opinions, we can discuss it later?"
This is what Lu Ming most wants to say to the leaders of the Communist Party: Let’s forget about the past and face the national crisis together.
"Under the premise of resisting Japan, we are willing to put aside our past grudges, and we are willing to start a second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party with the Kuomintang. The goal of this cooperation is to defeat the Japanese aggressors and then jointly build a modern China. To this end, we can even give up
The designation of the Red Army allows the Red Army to accept the reorganization of the Kuomintang government and enter the government's military order." Mr. Li's expression was indifferent, but his words were shocking.
"Your army is actually willing to accept the adaptation? Aren't you afraid of being swallowed up by the Kuomintang?" Lu Ming said with some surprise.
"Of course not. Even if our troops accept the KMT's reorganization, we still demand the right to command the troops. The party's leadership of the military will not give up without principle." Mr. Li insisted.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Communist Party would give up its leadership. In that case, it would not be cooperation, but surrender.
"If your party has this idea and can do this, I think the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will definitely be achieved."
Lu Ming suddenly felt confident. Since the Communist Party has such an attitude, the biggest obstacle to cooperation between the two parties should be eliminated.
"Lu Ming, you are a little optimistic. Mr. Jiang is not very determined to eliminate us. He believes that Japan's threat is only temporary, and our threat is permanent and fatal. His goal is to destroy Japan in a big way.
Before invading our country, we must be completely eliminated. We may even ignore Japan's invasion and concentrate the entire country's strength to exterminate us."
After saying this, Mr. Li laughed heartily, seeming to express contempt for Mr. Jiang's approach.
"He is not the leader of the Kuomintang alone. There are also people with real insights in the party. There are still many people who are looking forward to cooperating with you again to truly establish an anti-Japanese national united front." Lu Ming had his own ideas and insisted.
own point of view.
"I'm very happy that you can say that. We also hope that those in the Kuomintang who have real insights and are sincerely concerned about the country and the people can reverse the wrong practices of the Kuomintang and put national interests and people's interests first instead of partisanship.
Above the interests of the country and the nation." Mr. Li said firmly.
"Yes, if Mr. Chiang still insists on his own ideas on the great cause of resisting Japan, regardless of the opinions of the majority of people in the party and the interests of the people across the country, he will become a lone man and a thief, and no one will respond to him.
"
Lu Ming believed that his views would be supported by the majority of the Kuomintang. Even Sheng Youde, a staunch supporter of the Three People's Principles, believed that resisting Japan should be the national plan today.
Lu Ming didn't have much dislike for Mr. Chiang, but he still criticized his insistence on all-out suppression of communism and his consistent anti-communist approach.
There are also other parties in the government, so why can't it accommodate the Communist Party alone? Looking at the country, there are so many armed forces, why can it accommodate those new local warlords, but not the Communist Party?
The party’s armed forces?
Is it a bad thing to have more armed forces to fight against Japan and defend our country?
Lu Ming believes that Mr. Jiang should accept this reality, because it is not a far-off fantasy. In the future, there may be another possibility to calm down the partisan disputes.
If all parties and places abandon their arms and elect governments and leaders through popular elections like the United States.
In that case, all armies can be reorganized into a unified national army and placed under the unified leadership of the government.
Lu Ming knew that this was his scholarly opinion. The United States could do this, but it would definitely not work in China. It doesn't work now, and it may not be possible in the future.
China is an ancient country with a civilization of five thousand years, and has accumulated a complete set of survival rules. This is true for temples and also for rivers and lakes.
Despite this, Mr. Li's words still inspired Lu Ming a lot. The Communist Party has the idea of accepting the adaptation of the National Army. This is a big step forward and the door to cooperation between the two parties has been opened.
Mr. Chiang, the Kuomintang should not be indifferent.
Lu Ming felt relieved, feeling that a skylight suddenly opened in the dark room in front of him, a beam of light shone in, and the particles in the air bloomed like fireworks.
Lu Ming has always believed that the biggest difficulty in establishing an anti-Japanese national united front is that the Communist Party will not give up its own ideas, interests and arms.
After talking about it today, it suddenly dawned on him. He didn't expect that the Communists would unite with the outside world and give up almost all their power for the sake of the country's resistance to Japan. This was the greatest sacrifice he had ever seen.
Excited, Lu Ming said half-jokingly: "Mr. Li, if someone like me voluntarily joins your organization, will you approve it?"
Mr. Li smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Lu Ming, if you have the idea of serving the country and the people, then you are the same whether inside or outside the party. In fact, we have also considered your situation. Initially,
I want to recruit you to join our organization, but in the end I feel that it is best for you to do your best for the country as a non-party person."
Lu Ming was a little disappointed and said: "Why? Because I am a representative of big capitalists? Or..."
"It's not because of this. Since we claim to represent the interests of the working people across the country, which also includes national capitalists, we will not harm their interests. Under the banner of patriotism, national capital is also the object of our party's unity, protection and support.
But if you join a party organization, there will definitely be paper documents saved. If someone discovers and leaks them, it will cause fatal harm to you."
"Is it because you don't accept me joining the organization because you want to protect me?" Lu Ming seemed to understand what the other party meant.
"Well, only two people in our party know about your situation, and they all keep it in their minds. In other words, we have recognized you as our comrade and one of our people. Just to protect you, you may never
If you don’t join the party, we will never recognize your identity or make your contribution to the revolutionary cause public. You may have to be an unknown hero your whole life. Are you willing to make such a sacrifice?"
Mr. Li stared at Lu Ming with sharp eyes, as if trying to read something from his fleeting expression.
Lu Ming suddenly became happy. He was happy that Mr. Li recognized him and regarded him as one of his own. As for being an unknown hero, he was not considering it.
Lu Ming originally only wanted to contribute his part to the country silently. Whether he joined the Fuxing Society, founded a secret intelligence agency, or opened a spy school, he was all serving the country. His purpose was not to become a hero.
"Even if you join our party, you will not get any benefits. We Communists do not do revolution for promotion and wealth, not for money and women, but to serve the people wholeheartedly. As Mr. Lu Xun said, we are willing to be
Ruziniu, there is no other choice but to sacrifice." Mr. Li revealed the secret in one sentence.
"I am willing to join you." Lu Ming stood up and said excitedly.
"Lu Ming, you have joined our team a long time ago, and now you are just returning to the team." Mr. Li said with a smile.
Lu Ming stepped forward and shook hands with Mr. Li tightly, saying only: "Thank you for your trust!"
"Comrade Dong Cheng will be the only contact person between you and us from now on. If there is no big deal, we will not send another person to contact you. All contacts will be through the radio." Mr. Li added.
"Okay, Mr. Dong and I have been working very well together, and An Yi has established a very good friendship between us." Lu Ming also agreed very much with this arrangement.
If Lu Ming had some unclear emotions about joining the Communist Party before, now he is sincerely willing to join this organization.
He was deeply moved by the spirit of sacrifice of the Communists who dedicated themselves to the great cause of the nation, and he was willing to become comrades and fellow travelers with such people.
