The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

In the conference room, Marx and Engels were discussing their ideas about the revolutionary army with a small number of revolutionary backbones attending the meeting.

Marx and Engels said passionately, "Serve the people. This should be the most important feature that distinguishes our new army from the old army.

We are a revolutionary army, fighting for the broad masses of working people. Although it is still in its infancy, our cause will surely be supported by working people all over the world.

However, our current strength is still small, and we cannot attack the enemy's heavily guarded cities. We should first accumulate strength in areas where the enemy's rule is weak.

Stand together with the masses, unite and become one. Just like a small stone, the enemy is like a big water tank. Although our stone is small, it will one day break the enemy's big water tank. "

After listening to Ma En's passionate speech, everyone applauded. Especially Daomei, she was greatly inspired after listening to Ma En's military building ideas.

Daomei then said, "If the revolutionary army all regards serving the people as their own justice and has such a belief, then they will be invincible.

One of the important reasons why I left the Navy was because of the mixed ideologies within the Navy. Although the Navy was nominally under the banner of justice, in fact, everyone was dirty inside.

Superiors oppress subordinates, and peers oppress each other. The justice that the navy talks about is completely empty and has even become an excuse for the exploiters.

Anything that is beneficial to the people should be supported, and anything that is harmful to the people should be firmly opposed. This is very well said.

As long as the revolutionary army can adhere to these two principles, it will surely surpass the most powerful navy on the sea in the future. "

Ma En smiled and replied, "Yes, that's right. As you said, in order to deeply root the revolutionary party's beliefs in the revolutionary troops, we must bring the revolutionary party deep into the grassroots of the army.

This is also the fundamental difference between the revolutionary army and the old army. Only advanced revolutionary ideas can guide the army from becoming corrupt.

In the new revolutionary army we are building, we must absolutely not allow the bad habits of the old army to be introduced into it, including all kinds of inequality and corruption in the navy.

As long as the revolutionary party is fully established at the grassroots level of the revolutionary army, we can try to implement a democratic system within the army, with officers and soldiers being equal and receiving the same treatment, with regulations prohibiting officers from beating or scolding soldiers, and soldiers being able to hold meetings and speak freely.

Soldiers' committees should be established at squadron level and above. They should have great power, participate in the administrative and economic management of the troops, and the officers should be supervised by them.

In addition, in order to ensure the revolutionary party's complete leadership over the revolutionary army, this is also the most important resolution we ask you to formulate.

After the revolutionary army is formally established, I will work with all the comrades present here to establish a revolutionary front committee to unify the leadership of military issues.

This became a routine practice, and all important issues in the army had to be discussed and decided collectively by the Revolutionary Front Committee and party organizations at all levels.

Only through strict organization can we truly distinguish between the new revolutionary army and the old army. Only then can we prevent the influx of military habits. Only then can we change the free and easy style brought to the world by pirates on the sea. "

After finishing speaking, Ma En looked at everyone again and said, "The above is the formal framework for establishing a revolutionary army. In addition, there are various details for establishing an army.

I won’t go into other details, as they can be discussed and decided by party organizations at all levels. However, regarding disciplinary issues, our Revolutionary Army Front Committee can take the lead in deciding the framework.”

Ma En took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to a few people to read. "I call this the Three Major Attentions and Eight Points of Discipline. There are eleven items in total. One, follow orders in all actions; two, do not take even a needle or thread from the masses; three, all captured items must be returned to the public. The eight points of attention are: one, speak in a friendly manner; two, trade fairly; three, return borrowed items; four, compensate for damaged items; five, do not hit or scold people; six, do not damage crops; seven, do not molest women; eight, do not abuse prisoners. You can take a look at it first, and you can continue to add if you find something suitable later."

Everyone had finished reading it by then and said there were no problems.

Marx and Engels then went on to say, "In addition to the regular army, the self-armament of the masses is also indispensable, and the construction of the army must be combined with the local areas.

Comrade Che, you are in charge of local construction now. You can also try it now. After the construction is completed, gather the people in the village to train together in their spare time."

When Che heard Ma En calling him, he immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Ma En, the policies of these work bases will be gradually implemented, but they also need the support of comrades in the army."

Ma En said, "Of course, this is also the reason why you are asked to stay here. The support of the troops is indispensable. On the one hand, the troops can hand over the wounded and sick to the base, and the base can take care of our wounded and sick.

On the other hand, the troops must prepare weapons and equipment for the base areas and help the people in the base areas to arm themselves so that the people in the base areas can protect themselves.

People who want to protect themselves can also build extensive militia organizations. This is also an important part of building a revolutionary army. It is to enable the people in the base areas to resist themselves. As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Even if our revolutionary army leaves the base area and encounters oppression from the exploiting class again in the future, the people in the base area will be able to possess their own armed forces and rise up to fight back so as not to be oppressed by the exploiting class a second time.

The militia also plays a very important role in the revolution led by our revolutionary party. Now we have to admit that the forces of the reactionary classes are far stronger than the progressive forces.

In order to deal with the enemy, we must defeat the enemy at its weakest point and never engage in a head-on confrontation before conditions permit. So the way I envisioned the war should be mainly guerrilla warfare.

Before the world's revolutionary climax comes, guerrilla tactics should be widely used to expand the base areas. Only by expanding the base areas can we promote the profound concept of the world's revolutionary climax.

We will use a relatively broad guerrilla approach to expand our political influence, and when all parts of the world are included in our base areas, we will mobilize the full power of the revolutionary army, and it will become a major revolution in the world situation.

This kind of worldwide, all-encompassing, guerrilla warfare to win over the masses to establish political power and expand political influence is the ultimate goal of guerrilla warfare.

This is also necessary in order to truly create a revolutionary army and make it one of the important tools of the future great revolution. In short, this is necessary in order to promote the climax of the revolution. "

No one expected that Ma Enlian had already thought out the combat methods for the future base, as if he had known it by nature, and applause broke out.

Among them, Daomei, who had served in the navy, received the loudest applause. Because she had served in the navy, she understood the problems in the army best and admired Marx and Engels the most.

"Finally, what we have to decide is the bugle call of the revolutionary army," said Maan.

"What we are going to create is the first army of the revolutionary party, so why not call it the First Revolutionary Army." Crow was the first to suggest.

"Haha." Ma En laughed, "I think we should be more modest. There is no need to use the First Army. The Fourth Army is good enough. When the revolution is victorious, we can arrange the First, Second, and Third Armies. It can also be regarded as an incentive for everyone.

As for flags, the navy has the seagull flag, and pirates have their own pirate flag. I suggest that our revolutionary army use the red flag that we have always used.

The red flag symbolizes the passion and fearlessness of our revolutionary comrades!"

Everyone agreed with these, and they voted to pass them. The establishment of the Fourth Red Banner Army was also imminent.
