Some comrades in our party still lack a correct understanding of the current situation and the subsequent problems of our actions. Although they believe that the climax of the revolution is bound to come, they don't believe that it may come soon.

Therefore, they are not in favor of the plan to win over Jiangxi, but only in favor of carrying out mobile warfare in the three border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. At the same time, they have no profound concept of establishing a red regime in guerrilla areas, so they have no profound concept of promoting the climax of the national revolution by consolidating and expanding this red regime.

They seem to think that it is futile to do this hard work of establishing political power in a period far from the climax of the revolution, but they hope to expand their political influence in a relatively light mobile guerrilla way. When the work of winning over the masses in all parts of the country is completed or reaches a certain level, a national armed uprising will occur. At that time, the strength of the Red Army will increase, which will become a national revolution.

Extended data:
