1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Obviously, just because they hadn't had time to investigate such a trivial matter didn't mean they didn't know about it. Everyone believed this.

After a while, "Matt Agent" laughed:

"Alright, most of the comrades from other places like Fujian, Hubei, and Henan haven't arrived yet, and we're running out of comrades from the refereeing department. Let's stop here for today! We'll talk about the rest later!"

".."

There seemed to be a heavy sigh of relief from the audience.

UMP45 passed the microphone to Li Desheng, who took it with a gloomy face and said sternly:

"Everyone just saw it! I won't say any more! I'll give you one last chance. Those who made mistakes, please come forward. Our Central Committee..."

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen people whose names UMP45 hadn't called out knelt down, crying and shouting as they confessed to corruption, waste, and even oppression of the people. The faces of the leaders on the stage darkened even further.

Especially He Shuheng, who is already old.

After learning that two corrupt officials had also emerged in the Supreme Court under his jurisdiction, he immediately picked up his cane and started chasing and beating them, only to be restrained with great difficulty.

But the eyes of the several senior leaders who stopped He Shuheng were also filled with rage and shame, and they were just trying hard to suppress the desire to use fists and feet to make physical contact. It was so infuriating!

It's so fucking embarrassing!

Has the Chinese Communist Party become so rotten?

Our first encounter with the comrades of the Shihua Revolutionary Party left such a bad impression on them. How can we confidently claim to be the most progressive party in China?

Oh, scary!

I'm scared!

nausea! !

Disgusting!!!!

What these top CCP officials don’t know is that what is happening now is actually not that embarrassing, and that something even more embarrassing is yet to come.

According to incomplete statistics, about 1300 people attended the meeting, which was historically known as the "Ruijin Anti-Corruption and Anti-Corruption Conference." 311 people were arrested on the spot, 13 people voluntarily admitted their mistakes, and 7 people fled after the meeting.

In the following six months, in the Central Soviet Area (Jiangxi) alone, a whopping 7000 cadres and staff were arrested with conclusive evidence or voluntarily admitted to corruption, and nearly 300 people fled to the white areas. The total number of administrative cadres and staff in the Soviet Area at that time was about 60,000. In other words, one-sixth or even one-fifth of the cadres and staff may have problems.

That's not even counting the troops in the military!

Anyway, it is true that several local troops and even regular troops of the Red Army rebelled several times, causing considerable casualties.

Finally, comrades from the Supreme People's Court, the Judicial Department, the Review Committee, and other departments worked themselves to death, and still couldn't confirm whether all the corrupt officials had been apprehended. This indirectly confirmed the necessity and correctness of the "anti-counterrevolutionary" campaign to a certain extent, and the issue of causing the collective blood pressure of the CCP leaders to explode will be discussed later.

Anyway, at that moment, back at the Xie Clan Ancestral Hall, no one, from Li Desheng to Wu Hao, from General Zhu to Peng Dehuai, looked pleased, and no one said a word. Only UMP45 remained calm, sitting on the bench, swinging her long legs like a lively female Red Army soldier, humming a song. After about ten minutes, Wu Hao forced a smile and broke the silence.

"Comrade Ma Te, today I'd like to introduce you to our Central Committee members... Oh, you should all know them in the World Revolutionary Party, right?" "I know them, but please introduce them anyway so I can check their faces."

"Okay, first of all, the members of the Central Committee, this is Comrade Xiang Yin... and this is..." Wu Hao introduced a few people and couldn't go on.

Because, it’s gone.

UMP45 knew the reason—too many people had sacrificed, defected, or were absent from the Central Soviet Area.

以第六届中央委员会23个中央委员为例(28年7月那次选出的)﹐在中央苏区的只有4人，已经牺牲或病逝的有6人

There are 5 people who rebelled, and 8 people who are on the way or cannot come.

Oh, by the way, among the eight people who were on the way or could not come to the Central Soviet Area, three of them rebelled and one died in history.

In other words, theoretically, among the highest-level cadres of the Communist Party of China, the proportion of traitors alone reaches one-third, which is a tragic proportion.

And what about the 13 "alternate members of the Central Committee"?

Historically, for every one person who betrayed someone, seven were sacrificed. There are far fewer traitors. As for the current members of the Sixth Central Political Bureau...

The General Secretary and several alternate members turned traitors, which led to the formation of the nine-member Shanghai Provisional Central Political Bureau. Then, after some testing by someone, five people turned traitors (historically, there were four).

So, not only Mark, but even UMP45, who lived in an era where corruption was virtually nonexistent, was not surprised by the arrest of over 300 corrupt officials at today's meeting. In these days, with material scarcity, poor spiritual education, and a bleak future, it would be surprising if there weren't so many corrupt officials.

What's wrong with being greedy and taking a little? One day at a time, feed yourself first.jpg.

This is the mentality of many people.

Next came the members of the Executive Committee of the Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, members of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Republic, and heads of important departments under Li Desheng's jurisdiction. UMP45 easily entered everyone's facial and EEG data into its database, then nodded and asked:

"...I already know them all, so?"

"so..."

Wu Hao hesitated, and General Zhu hesitated to speak. Only Li Desheng decisively slammed the table and said:

"Comrade Ma Shiwu, just speak frankly! Are there any corrupt officials or traitors among these dozens of us? Don't give us any face!"

""

..."

Everyone in the ancestral hall felt their scalps tingle, and their bodies involuntarily tensed. It was a complex feeling.

I know I am not, but I am still afraid of getting the answer.

In fact, people did not realize that this was the aftermath of the "Great Purge in the Soviet Areas" which lasted until the beginning of this year and was only slightly suppressed.

Whether they admit it or not, for the current Soviet areas and even the entire CCP, this "Messenger Matt" has (temporarily) replaced the Soviet Union and become the CCP's new "emperor." With her adorable little mouth, she can easily identify anyone as a "corrupt, evil, and bad element."

Unlike previous purges where many people desperately cried out for justice, Ma Shiwu's accusations were absolutely accurate and almost no one dared to refute them. After today's meeting, seeing the ugly behavior of those guys named by UMP45, this point is beyond doubt.

So, who wouldn’t be afraid?

What if...right?

We've all seen cases of people accusing others of being "reactionaries" for money and power. UMP45 stared at Li Desheng for a moment, then smiled faintly after receiving the order from far away in Northeast China.

"At least... there's no one here... at least not now."

Everyone felt relieved, but the second half of the sentence brought it up again. Was there anyone "present"?

Not "now"?

What's the meaning?

Before anyone could figure it out, UMP45 spoke again: "Comrade Li Desheng."

"Um?"

"My commander asked me to bring a few words to you and everyone in the Chinese Communist Party." "...What? Please go ahead."

"First, the problem of corrupt officials and traitors will absolutely not be eradicated within the next hundred years. Don't plan to do so, don't hold out any hope for it."

"..."

In other words, even after such a terrifying shock this time, a series of problems such as corruption are still inevitable, right? Although we know that this may be the norm, everyone is still a little disappointed.

Even communist beliefs cannot avoid corruption, so what can? Li Desheng frowned and said:

"You mean... holding onto this kind of expectation will make us more likely to slack off?"

"...Yes, only by maintaining high pressure on anti-corruption can we curb it to some extent. Once they think there are no problems with the Party, then there are serious problems with the Party."

UMP45 nodded, said something meaningful, and then continued:

"Second, an organization can't always rely on external forces to combat corruption, counter-terrorism, and espionage. Only by maintaining its own strength and the ability to continuously regenerate itself can it maintain its health." "...remove corruption...regenerate flesh..."

Li Desheng muttered a few words to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Independence! Self-reliance! Seeking truth from facts!"

“Yes, the CCP is your organization, so you can only rely on your own efforts. We in the World Revolutionary Party can at most offer suggestions and help you improve your ability to be independent.

UMP45 smiled and said:

"I might help with a few more direct arrests like today, but from now on, there won't be any more."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they more or less understood UMP45's warning:

If China is still in this serious situation when it takes action next time, the World Revolutionary Party will consider stopping a series of aid.

After the Shanghai Incident, the supply of materials, the arrests for corruption, and other major events, no one in the CCP leadership, not only in the entire Communist Party, but at least in the Central Soviet Area, dared to disregard the support of the World Revolutionary Party. Some even secretly believed that the World Revolutionary Party might be even more powerful than the Communist International and the Soviet Union.

At least, this intelligence capability is something the Soviets definitely do not possess.

There are no Soviets in the entire Soviet area!

Li Desheng and the others took out their pens and papers, their expressions solemn and serious:

"Then please ask the comrades of the World Revolutionary Party to give us some opinions and suggestions! We will definitely make changes!"

Hey, Commander, why are you smiling so happily?

But why is there sadness in your eyes?

110 You tell me this is called a little understanding?

"Material foundation, sound system, citizen supervision, strong punishment, ideological education..."

They talked until late at night again. He Zizhen took the coat from her husband, who was still mumbling to himself and almost bumping his head against the door, with a distressed look on her face. She said angrily, "You haven't slept for two days and two nights. If you keep going like this, you'll ruin your health first! How can you do this!"

"There's nothing I can do! It's so rare to meet someone I can talk to so well. How can I not seize the time to chat with him for a while? You never know when he might leave!" Li Desheng answered casually, holding the notebook in his hand, and continued to think about the conversation just now.

...The development of productivity ensures material sufficiency and eliminates the possibility of some people engaging in corrupt and evil behavior due to their inability to meet their basic living needs..."

"No, no, no, you have to admit that some people are forced to embezzle because their meager salaries can't support their families. You can't expect everyone to be saints... Sound systems and standardized processes can plug some loopholes. The rest depends on mobilizing the masses to consciously supervise..." "Should the Party take charge of everything, or awaken the masses? The answer is probably easy to come by, but how it will play out in practice is another matter..."

Increasing the intensity of crackdowns and penalties on corruption and other behaviors actually increases the cost of corruption itself, just like institutional processes, making it more costly for corrupt individuals than they gain.

"Before communism is fully realized, using capitalist logic and methods to deal with corruption is undoubtedly the fastest way to achieve results..." "Whether it's socialism or capitalism, tools are always just tools. It's extremely foolish to characterize them..."

"Huh? You think this is a communist society? No, no, no, you can't even call this the primary stage of socialism..." "...Why did I put ideological education last? Because it's the most useful, but also the most illusory and the most difficult to achieve..."

"..."

Except for the issue of "ideological education", the teachers all agreed on other aspects.

Because he felt that ideological education was the best and most fundamental way to eradicate the "bureaucratic problems brought about by sound systems and processes" mentioned above;

However, he also admitted that this ideological education was really difficult. The Soviet area had been doing this for so long, and so many bad elements had emerged even among the Communist Party members, not to mention the ordinary workers. As for the point of "mobilizing the masses to supervise", it was even said by the teachers who had firmly supported such practices in history, applauding.

The people are the foundation of the Party and possess the most powerful force;

But to mobilize them, we need ideological education... No, no, no... We also need to develop productivity, obtain "material guarantees," and make the people feel that there is hope in following the Communist Party of China... Also, Commissioner Matt always emphasizes, "These are not my thoughts, but the thoughts of my commander, I'm just relaying them." How humble!

If the "commander" she mentioned is lucky...

He Zizhen didn't know what was going on in her husband's mind. She just helped him take off his smelly shoes and socks as usual, got a basin of water, and as soon as he put his feet in, the water popped out and splashed all over her face.

"President?"

"No, no, I haven't figured this out yet. I have to go find her!" Li Desheng was about to jump up as he said this.

From the look on his face, you could tell who he was going to look for.

Thinking of Agent Matt's figure and talent, He Zizhen couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and she wanted to lose her temper on the spot;

However, she suddenly remembered what UMP45 had said that day, and she forced herself to hold it back. She pulled Li Desheng back and changed her words:

"If you go, I have no objection, but if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the female comrades, right? After accompanying you in meetings for two consecutive nights, doesn't Agent Matt need a rest?" "Uh..."

This sentence completely persuaded Li Desheng, and he had to sit back on the bed. He Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wash her husband's feet silently. After a while, Li Desheng sniffed and sniffed around: "Strange."

"What? Do I smell? Your feet stink, right?" "No, I'm just wondering why there's no vinegar smell in the house today."

"...Li Runzhi!! "

He Zizhen's pretty face flushed, and she pretended to pounce on Li Desheng with her teeth bared. Li Desheng didn't beg for mercy, but smiled and stretched out a hand to block her attack. But unexpectedly, He Zizhen suddenly frowned, turned her head reluctantly, and vomited all the sweet potato porridge she had eaten that day onto the ground. Li Desheng panicked.

Wait, I didn’t use any force! “Zizhen! Zizhen!”

A shrill cry pierced the night sky.

Ruijin was a small place, and the leaders' quarters were all close together. Li Desheng's shout immediately alerted the others who were already awake, as well as the security personnel. "What's going on?!"

Wu Hao, who was closest, was picking a blister off the foot of his wife, Deng Yingchao, who had come all the way from Shanghai. Upon hearing the noise, the couple quickly dropped their belongings and rushed over. Then, Li Desheng opened the door with an embarrassed look on his face, and they saw He Zizhen sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing her belly.

Seeing that the two were fine, Deng Yingchao turned around to get tools to clean up the mess on the ground. Wu Hao said with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"...Uh, nothing much, probably just..."

Li Desheng was about to explain when UMP45's voice rang out from outside.

"What's wrong, Comrade Li Desheng?"

".…."

So fast!
