We will fight to the end for the interests of the vast majority of the people, never compromising, to complete the work of the national revolution. If we violate this oath, we are willing to accept the most severe punishment from the party. This is the oath.
(5) Speech by committee members:
Committee member Han Linfu's speech: In summary: Today marks a new era for the Chinese national revolution, and it is also a day of revival for the Chinese national revolution. Today, my brothers feel an infinite sadness and want to appeal to the revolutionary masses across the country.
Since the revolution began, our party has faced countless critical moments of life and death, constantly oppressed by dark forces. This relationship has been a matter of our party's survival, and it has only been resolved until now. Since last year's Northern Expedition, the revolutionary army's power has developed downstream of the Yangtze River, and after the recovery of Shanghai and Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal occurred. Chiang Kai-shek represents the comprador class and the feudal big bourgeoisie, betraying the revolution. (The crowd shouts to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek) Therefore, the national revolution has experienced its first division.
After the first division, many revolutionary comrades gathered in Wuhan to establish the national government and the central party department. This revolutionary government and central party department are committed to the revolution. We aim to overthrow the Nanjing puppet government and the puppet central party department, fulfilling the hopes of the national revolutionary masses. However, in the past two months, the Wuhan national government has turned into a new warlord under Tang Shengzhi, He Jian, and representatives of the rural bourgeoisie such as Wang Jingwei, Tan Yanmin, and Gu Mengyu. (The crowd shouts to overthrow Tang Shengzhi, He Jian, Wang Jingwei, Tan Yankai, Gu Mengyu) They not only do not comply with the resolutions of the third congress but also oppose the land revolution and oppress the farmers and workers, slaughtering Communist comrades. The current Wuhan national government is almost identical to the Nanjing puppet government. (The crowd shouts to overthrow the Wuhan puppet government and puppet central party department) However, what Nanjing represents is the urban bourgeoisie, while Wuhan represents the rural bourgeoisie.
Moreover, the Wuhan government is even worse than Nanjing. Tang Shengzhi and those new warlords ardently worship Buddhism. Are they believers in the Three People's Principles? They are simply the most stubborn Buddhists. Wang Jingwei now says, "People, you can rely on the benefits the Wuhan government gives you; you can abandon the revolution now." His opposition to farmers attacking feudal forces, his efforts to suppress the farmers' and workers' movements, and his secret dissolution of farmers' and workers' associations all demonstrate that he is a typical rural bourgeois reformist and a follower of Dai Jitao. (The crowd shouts to overthrow Wang Jingwei, who distorts the Three People's Principles) In short, the kind of Buddhist deception in Wuhan is simply worse than the Nanjing puppet government.
Because the central party department of the Wuhan puppet government cannot represent the people and is held hostage by the new warlords like Tang Shengzhi and He Jian, most central committee members and representatives from various provinces and overseas party branches have successively left Wuhan and come to Nanchang to organize the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. This revolutionary committee is now the only organization leading the revolution. (The crowd shouts to support the Revolutionary Committee) We just need to unite the true revolutionaries, and it will not be difficult to eliminate all reactionary forces. Our only leader now is the entire committee of the Revolutionary Committee present today. (The crowd shouts to support the Revolutionary Committee) We need their leadership, and the Chinese national revolution will surely succeed one day.
Finally, I have a few hopes to report to everyone: (1) I hope that future revolutionary leaders will be thoroughly revolutionary and not become reformist Wang Jingwei; (2) I hope that future military leaders will obey the party's command and not become new warlords like Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi; (3) I hope that future political leaders will thoroughly eliminate all local tyrants, evil gentry, and corrupt officials; (4) I hope that the revolutionary leadership organization will overthrow all counter-revolutionaries and become the only revolutionary leadership organization.
△ Committee member Tan Pingshan's response briefly states: Brothers represent the Revolutionary Committee to say a few words to all comrades and compatriots. Just now, representatives from various provinces and overseas party branches and representatives from various organizations have entrusted us, and we will accept the significant mission of the Revolutionary Committee based on the Premier's teachings.
After the Wuhan national government became a tool of the new warlord Tang Shengzhi, a few central committee members like Wang Jingwei and Tan Yankai changed sides and surrendered to the warlords' camp. Most central committee members and representatives from various provinces and overseas party branches saw this situation and decisively left Wuhan to organize the Revolutionary Committee in Nanchang. This revolutionary committee is the new leadership organization of the revolution, and all party affairs, politics, and military matters are under the guidance of the committee. I believe this new revolutionary leadership organization will soon be supported by the revolutionary masses across the country and become the only revolutionary leadership organization. The puppet governments in Nanjing and Wuhan are merely fleeting shadows.
