【禁闻】习近平军服登战车 欲强军备战

2012年12月14日时政
【新唐人2012年12月14日讯】中共总书记、军委主席习近平最近除了“南巡”之外,还到广州战区视察,他亲自登战舰、上战车,并观摩实兵实弹演练。他还提出“三个牢记”,确保解放军“招之即来、来之能战、战之必胜”。习近平的这些战争言论备受外界关注,请看报导。

据中共媒体报导,习近平12月8号和10号在广州战区,先后来到南海舰队“海口”舰、42集团军和广州军区机关考察,会见驻深圳、珠海部队团以上领导干部。他登甲板、进舱室、上战车以及入班排,察看装备设施,观摩实兵实弹演练,并与基层官兵交谈、共进午餐。

习近平在会见驻穗部队师以上领导干部时特别指出,实现中华民族伟大复兴,这个梦想是强国梦,对军队来说是强军梦。他提出要“坚持用打仗的标准推进军事斗争准备”;不断强化官兵“当兵打仗、带兵打仗、练兵打仗思想”。

中共中央政治局委员、中央军委副主席范长龙,王沪甯、汪洋、栗战书、吴胜利、王冠中、刘晓江、徐粉林、魏亮、朱小丹等陪同考察。

香港《大公报》13号的评论指出,习近平视察广州战区,将“强国梦”引申为“强军梦”,“这不啻是一次坚决维护南海主权的庄重宣言”。而《金融时报》则表示,习近平的言论比他的前任“更民族主义”,“这样的词句让越南和日本这些与中国有领土纠纷的国家感到不安。”

时事评论员张杰连:“中共的领导人上台,一般都是对内会做一些调整,但是一般对外的这种外交的各个方面。比如说对西藏政策啊、南海啊、钓鱼岛这些方面一般不会做出让步,因为一旦他在这些方面有所松动的话,可能会影响到国内的情绪,刚刚坐上大位,一般来讲需要强硬的姿态。”

张杰连表示,习近平这次南巡,一是想树立自己改革的形象,还要树立自己亲民的形象,同时对外还要表现出强硬的姿态。

今年(2012年)的 12月 13号是“南京大屠杀”75周年纪念日,南京举办了各种纪念活动,同时中国海监巡航飞机首次到钓鱼岛上空盘旋。

与此同时,中共喉舌《新华社》13号报导声称,四川省委副书记李春城涉嫌严重违纪,已被撤销职务。李春城在上个月结束的中共“十八大”上当选中央候补委员,他也是“十八大”落幕后第一个被处理的副部级官员。

时事评论员文昭:“不管是视察军队也好、还是在南海对外表现出来强硬的姿态也好,还是对内好像是掀起了反腐风暴,拿下一些官员,目地都是要树立这届班子的权威,都是要表现出一个强势的作风。”

时事评论员文昭还指出,中共目前面临空前的政治经济危机,必须在短时间内培养出新领导班子的威信,所以会让新领导人充分曝光。

习近平考察期间,还提出“三个牢记”,强调“任何时候、任何情况下都坚决听党的话、跟党走”,确保军队“始终能够召之即来、来之能战、战之必胜”等要求。

张杰连:“中共一贯是党指挥枪,所以这个姿态他要表。另外胡锦涛这次裸退,军队的大权直接传给了习近平,所以他一定要借这样的机会,向军队表明自己的大权在握,发表一些指示,在军队培养自己的声望。”

但是,张杰连指出,从江泽民开始,中共就大肆利诱军队,给他们特别的好处,再加上军队是独立的王国,导致军队成为中共最腐败的领域。目前中共军队的战斗力有很大问题,这不是习近平的口号就能解决的了的。

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.
