【新唐人2012年12月14日訊】中共總書記、軍委主席習近平最近除了「南巡」之外,還到廣州戰區視察,他親自登戰艦、上戰車,並觀摩實兵實彈演練。他還提出「三個牢記」,確保解放軍「招之即來、來之能戰、戰之必勝」。習近平的這些戰爭言論備受外界關注,請看報導。

據中共媒體報導,習近平12月8號和10號在廣州戰區,先後來到南海艦隊「海口」艦、42集團軍和廣州軍區機關考察,會見駐深圳、珠海部隊團以上領導幹部。他登甲板、進艙室、上戰車以及入班排,察看裝備設施,觀摩實兵實彈演練,並與基層官兵交談、共進午餐。

習近平在會見駐穗部隊師以上領導幹部時特別指出,實現中華民族偉大復興,這個夢想是強國夢,對軍隊來說是強軍夢。他提出要「堅持用打仗的標準推進軍事鬥爭準備」;不斷強化官兵「當兵打仗、帶兵打仗、練兵打仗思想」。

中共中央政治局委員、中央軍委副主席範長龍,王滬甯、汪洋、栗戰書、吳勝利、王冠中、劉曉江、徐粉林、魏亮、朱小丹等陪同考察。

香港《大公報》13號的評論指出,習近平視察廣州戰區,將「強國夢」引申為「強軍夢」,「這不啻是一次堅決維護南海主權的莊重宣言」。而《金融時報》則表示,習近平的言論比他的前任「更民族主義」,「這樣的詞句讓越南和日本這些與中國有領土糾紛的國家感到不安。」

時事評論員張傑連:「中共的領導人上臺,一般都是對內會做一些調整,但是一般對外的這種外交的各個方面。比如說對西藏政策啊、南海啊、釣魚島這些方面一般不會做出讓步,因為一旦他在這些方面有所鬆動的話,可能會影響到國內的情緒,剛剛坐上大位,一般來講需要強硬的姿態。」

張傑連表示,習近平這次南巡,一是想樹立自己改革的形象,還要樹立自己親民的形象,同時對外還要表現出強硬的姿態。

今年(2012年)的 12月 13號是「南京大屠殺」75週年紀念日,南京舉辦了各種紀念活動,同時中國海監巡航飛機首次到釣魚島上空盤旋。

與此同時,中共喉舌《新華社》13號報導聲稱,四川省委副書記李春城涉嫌嚴重違紀,已被撤銷職務。李春城在上個月結束的中共「十八大」上當選中央候補委員,他也是「十八大」落幕後第一個被處理的副部級官員。

時事評論員文昭:「不管是視察軍隊也好、還是在南海對外表現出來強硬的姿態也好,還是對內好像是掀起了反腐風暴,拿下一些官員,目地都是要樹立這屆班子的權威,都是要表現出一個強勢的作風。」

時事評論員文昭還指出,中共目前面臨空前的政治經濟危機,必須在短時間內培養出新領導班子的威信,所以會讓新領導人充分曝光。

習近平考察期間,還提出「三個牢記」,強調「任何時候、任何情況下都堅決聽黨的話、跟黨走」,確保軍隊「始終能夠召之即來、來之能戰、戰之必勝」等要求。

張傑連:「中共一貫是黨指揮槍,所以這個姿態他要表。另外胡錦濤這次裸退,軍隊的大權直接傳給了習近平,所以他一定要借這樣的機會,向軍隊表明自己的大權在握,發表一些指示,在軍隊培養自己的聲望。」

但是,張傑連指出,從江澤民開始,中共就大肆利誘軍隊,給他們特別的好處,再加上軍隊是獨立的王國,導致軍隊成為中共最腐敗的領域。目前中共軍隊的戰鬥力有很大問題,這不是習近平的口號就能解決的了的。

Xi Jinping Wants to Build a Strong Army

Xi Jinping, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) new
General Secretary and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, started to do visits in the country.
Recently, in addition to his ‘southern tour,’
Xi also inspected the military Guangzhou Theatre.
He personally boarded the warships, military vehicles,
and observed a live ammunition drill.
He also stressed on the ‘three points to keep in mind,’
to ensure the army can ‘be called and come at any instant, come and be able to fight, fight and be sure to win.’
Xi's war rhetoric has attracted
wide attention. Let's take a look.

According to CCP media' reports, Xi was in Guangzhou
Theatre on the 8th and 10th of December.
He inspected a few sites, including
the ‘Haikou’ ship in South China Sea Fleet,
the 42 Group Army, the Guangzhou Military Area offices,
and met the leading cadres in Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
Xi boarded the deck and military vehicle, went into cabins,
looked at the equipment and facilities,
observed live ammunition drill,
and talked with soldiers at basic level during lunch.

Xi specially pointed out when meeting top cadres there,
that they need to achieve great revival of the Chinese nation.
And that this dream is a dream for a strong nation,
and for the army, this is a dream for a strong army.
He pointed out ‘to adhere to the standards of war,
to push forward the preparations of military struggles;’
to continue strengthening the soldiers' perception of
‘soldiers for war, troops for war, military training for war.’

Xi's inspection was accompanied by Politburo members, like
Fan Changlong, Wang huning, Wang Yang, Li Zhanshu, etc..

On December 13, Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao published
a commentary on the new China's leader visits.
They said, from a ‘dream of a strong nation,’
Xi's inspection turned into ‘the dream of a strong army,’
making it ‘nothing more than a demonstration
of resoluteness to safeguard the South China Sea.’
However, Financial Times said that Xi's speech
had more ‘nationalism’ than the ones of his predecessor,
which ‘kind of words make the countries who have territorial
disputes with China such as Vietnam and Japan feel uneasy.’

Zhang Jiulian (political commentator): “Usually after the new
CCP leaders take power, internal party issues are adjusted.
But on general external diplomacy, like Tibet, South China
Sea, Diaoyu Islands, etc., they will not make concessions.
Because is they relax on these issues, it may affect domestic
moods, so the new leader generally would show toughness.”

Zhang said, Xi's southern tour is to build his populist image
of a reformist, and at the same time to show a tough stance.

December 13, marked the 75th anniversary
of the Nanjing Massacre.
Nanjing organized a variety of activities, and meanwhile
the Chinese maritime surveillance aircrafts hovered over the Diaoyu Islands for the first time.

At the same time, CCP mouthpiece Xinhua said on Dec. 13,
that the vice Deputy of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee,
Li Chuncheng is suspected in serious disciplinary offenses,
and has been removed from his position.
He was elected as the CCP Central Committee alternate
member in last month's 18 CCP congress.
He is also the first vice-ministerial official,
who was handled after the 18 congress.

Wen Zhao (political commentator): “No matter if it is to
inspect the army, show a tough stance in South China Sea,
set off an anti-corruption storm, or take down some officials,

the purpose is to establish the power of this authority group,
it is all about showing a strong hold.”

Wen Zhao also pointed out that the CCP is currently facing
unprecedented political and economic crisis.
Thus they have to build the new leadership' prestige quickly,
to let the new leader show his strengths.

During the inspection, Xi stressed
on the 'three points to keep in mind.'
He said, ‘at any time, under any circumstances,
firmly listen to the party, follow the party,’
ensure that the army can ‘be called and come at any instant,
come and be able to fight, fight and be sure to win.’

Zhang Jiulian: “The CCP has always been about the party
commands the guns, so he (Xi) has to reaffirm this.
Besides, Hu Jintao has given up completely
the military power, transferring it to Xi.
Thus Xi has to use this opportunity to show the military
that he has the power, and publish some instructions to build his own reputation in the army.”

However, Zhang reminded that Jiang Zemin gave the army
special benefits, built the army as an independent kingdom, and made the army the most corrupted area in the CCP.
And that now CCP' army has big problems with its combat
effectiveness, which cannot be solved just by Xi's slogans.
