Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in the article "On the Coalition Government": "The reason why this army has strength is that all people who participate in this army have conscious discipline; They are not fighting for the selfish interests of a few people or narrow groups, but for the interests of the broad masses of the people and the whole nation. It is the sole purpose of this army to stand closely with the people of China and serve the people of China wholeheartedly. " .

This is the fundamental reason why the China People's Liberation Army is invincible. That is to say, under this "fundamental" premise, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward that "without the people's army, there would be nothing for the people", thus creating the sacred military soul of "the party commands the gun".

Extended data:

China People's Liberation Army is a new type of proletarian people's army founded and led by China's * * * Production Party. It is an armed group that carries out revolutionary political tasks and serves the party's program and line.

The basic meaning of the fundamental principle of the Party's absolute leadership over the army mainly includes: the China People's Liberation Army must accept the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s leadership completely and unconditionally, and all organizations and individuals in the army are not allowed to engage in anti-Party independence under any circumstances, to compete for military power from the Party, and not to use the banner of individuals.

The supreme leadership and command of the China People's Liberation Army belongs to the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission (CMC). Members of the armed forces shall not join other political parties and religious organizations, join local mass organizations without the approval of the corresponding political organs, establish societies and organizations that violate the establishment and articles of association, or allow other political parties and political factions to establish organizations and carry out activities in the armed forces.

All activities of the army must obey and serve the program, line, principles and policies of the China Producers' Party. Members of the armed forces must be consistent with the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission ideologically, politically and practically. The army must adhere to a series of fundamental systems in which the Chinese production party leads the army, adhere to the establishment and development of the party's political work in the army, and ensure the party's political, ideological and organizational correctness.

Since the founding of China People's Liberation Army, Party organizations at all levels have been gradually established in the army, and party representatives and political organs have been established. 1927 September and 10/0 October, Mao Zedong led the autumn harvest uprising troops on the Hunan-Jiangxi border to "reorganize the three bays" on the way to Jinggangshan, and established the establishment of the company's party branch, class platoon party group, party representatives at all levels and above, and the party Committee of the battalion. It laid the organizational foundation for the party to lead the army.

From 1929 to 12, the resolutions of Gutian conference further clarified the principle and importance of upholding the party's leadership over the army, put forward that the leading organs of the party in the army should become the "leadership center", and established the systems and measures to realize this principle politically, ideologically and organizationally.

1The Provisional Regulations on the Political Work of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army (Draft) issued in June, 930 stipulates that the fundamental task of the political work of the Red Army is to consolidate the leadership of the China Producers Party in the Red Army. This is the first time in history that the principle of the party's leadership over the army has been stipulated in the form of regulations.

1In June, 935, after the first and fourth armies of the Red Army joined forces, the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission resolutely fought against Zhang's activities of splitting the Red Army and the Party, ensuring the Party's unified leadership and command over the Red Army. In summing up this historical lesson, Mao Zedong pointed out: "Our principle is that the party commands guns, and guns are never allowed to command the party." .

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, in view of the new situation that the Red Army was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army, the Central Military Commission stressed that it was necessary to strengthen the leadership of the Party, resolutely carry out the orders of the Central Committee and the Military Commission, ensure that it would always be the * * * production party's army, and strive for the * * production party's line and policies.

1947 In February, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued an instruction on restoring the party committee system at all levels of the army, and units above the regimental level successively restored and established the party committee system. 1948 September, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made the "Decision on Improving the Party Committee System". The party's leadership system over the army has been further enriched and improved.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the People's Liberation Army of China, as the main armed force of the country, is still under the absolute leadership of the Party.

1954 In April, the Central Committee and the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government promulgated the Regulations on the Political Work of the China People's Liberation Army (Draft), stipulating that the China People's Liberation Army is a people's army led by the China Producer Party, defending the motherland, serving the people's revolutionary struggle and national construction, and defining the fundamental system of the Party leading the army, that is, the leaders under the unified collective leadership of the Party Committee are responsible for the division of labor.

After entering the new historical period, the principle of the Party's absolute leadership over the army has been more firmly implemented. 1982, the four cardinal principles were written into the constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC). In this way, the party's absolute leadership over the army has once again been guaranteed by the fundamental law of the state.

The People's Liberation Army of China has always been under the absolute leadership of the Production Party of China, always keeping in mind the purpose of the People's Army and maintaining its nature, and has made outstanding contributions to consolidating national defense, resisting aggression, defending the motherland, defending the people's peaceful labor and participating in national construction.
