The Founding of an Army Page #4

---

All it takes is a spark

and there will be a devouring fire.

Few peasant uprisings have succeeded

throughout history.

You and your comrades who have studied overseas,

praise the example set by the French Revolution

and the method of urban riots.

The working class is the main body

of the revolution.

This is the general view of Marx, right?

I think China is different.

We may lack the experience

but we don't lack the courage to try.

Starting from where?

From zero, of course.

Find people if we have no one,

and buy guns if we have no guns.

I'll go persuade the army.

I'll mobilize the peasants.

Last year in the Zhongshan Incident,

we stood together.

Now we stand together once more.

If what we're experiencing now is a failure,

then we communists...

We will continue to rise again and again.

Too wet.

Feng Yuxiang...

Is he going to lobby for Chiang?

I'm worried they have made a secret agreement.

The trouble is not Feng

but the communists.

Are you concerned they may start a rebellion?

"Cable from the Comintern."

Look at this. This was just intercepted.

You are right.

Ye Jianying,

can you pinpoint the information's source?

Yes.

Wang Jingwei and his men intercepted a cable

from the Comintern giving permission

to Communists to begin an armed struggle.

Chiang slaughters us

and Wang Jingwei wants to join.

Then let's fight!

We can't fight them head on.

We must save our strength.

Those comrades whose identities have been exposed

must leave Wuhan immediately.

Ye Ting,

lead the 11th Army to leave the city

and head east to Jiujiang.

Yes, sir.

Actually,

there is still one person we can win over.

You mean Zhang Fakui?

He only sympathizes with us verbally,

but his heart lies on Wang Jingwei's side.

I was referring to the commander of the 20th Army,

He Long.

General,

you run into a problem?

Your eyes gave it away.

Yeah.

I ran into a few.

There are still two we are facing.

Who are they?

Ye Ting...

His troops have the nickname of

the "Iron Army."

I met him once.

He is a hero.

Miss,

the true hero

is right in front of you.

All right. All right.

Who is the other problem?

He Long...

Unlike us, he didn't graduate from Huangpu.

In western Hu'nan he has built an army

with two kitchen knives.

He began his Northern Expedition alone

and handed the Beiyang army a string of defeats.

Commander He,

in addition to this silver

and the post of Wuhan Garrison Commander,

we also offer what any officer

would want the most.

You can promise Ye Ting's post to He Long,

and let them battle it out like

two animals in a cage.

Then He Long will offer to come work for you.

Two birds with one stone.
