【禁闻】军报发声: 将打周永康背后“老虎”

【新唐人2014年12月20日讯】继中共原军委副主席徐才厚等军队“大老虎”落马后,“打虎”行动又蔓延至各军校,习近平阵营对江泽民派系人马采取的行动越发密集。日前,中共军报发表评论文章,被认为释放了习、江阵营展开较量的强烈信号。

12月17号,中共军报《解放军报》发表评论文章“反腐是一场输不起的生死仗”。文章针对两种议论观点——“再反下去会不会反散人心”,以及“还能不能反得下去”,进行了分析和反驳,并声称:“到此为止”是一种错觉,“骑虎难下”是一种误判。

文章使用了大量诸如“绝不姑息”、“除恶务尽”、“一抓到底、务求见底”等严厉措辞,回应了坊间“还能不能反下去”的质疑,并特别强调,“像周永康、徐才厚这样的‘大老虎’都动了,还有谁动不得?”不由得令外界猜测军报针对的到底是谁,?有部分观点认为,可能是中共国家主席习近平在派系斗争中的最大对手——江泽民。

时事评论员夏小强:“四中全会后,习近平加快打击江派力度。特别是在徐才厚和周永康被宣布逮捕移交司法之后,军报连续发表文章,徐才厚从‘国贼’升级为‘国妖’。军报的调门不断升高,一直到现在的‘大老虎’都动了,还有谁动不得?更是发出了明确的信息——徐才厚和周永康都是‘大老虎’,他们的后台众所周知是江泽民,这种论调等于直接指向了江泽民。”

另一种猜测认为,军报的说法,疑似影射另一个江系军中大将——中共军委原副主席郭伯雄。有海外媒体观察,大陆颇具公信力的微信账号“察时局”曾对郭伯雄近乎点名式的报导,《凤凰周刊》近来一篇揭秘谷俊山贪腐内幕的报导,又间接透露郭伯雄或许身涉此案,到《解放军报》17号的文章,外界惯性地将其联系至郭伯雄便是自然而然的。

此外,军报文章还指出,“腐败和反腐败对垒呈胶着状态”,已经到了扳腕拉锯的关键时候、不进则退的节骨眼上。反腐引向深入必然会遇到各种阻挠和反弹。但文章同时高调宣称“开弓没有回头箭”,这是一场“殊死较量”。

对此,分析认为,军报借此文传递了习近平的态度,明确否认了在这场权力斗争中双方妥协的可能性。

夏小强:“军报如今发出这样明确和严厉的措辞,释放了以下两个信息:一是习近平打下周永康徐才厚之后,遭到了江泽民势力的反抗,所以军报文章中说‘在这场殊死较量中,我们不能退也退不起,不能输也输不起’;二是,习近平通过军报调门不断升级的文章,向江泽民集团发出了最后决战的信号,同时利用军方警告震慑江泽民。”

自中共十八大以来,习近平对国防和部队建设采取了一系列行动,快速掌控了军队大权。随后展开了大规模“反腐”行动。因此,军队也被认为是习近平“反腐”、“打老虎”的后盾和清除江泽民集团的重要力量。

有评论人士认为,军报肯如此态度鲜明的替习近平发声,首先说明了习对军队的掌控基本是牢固的。

夏小强:“江泽民在六四之后获得中共最高权力之后,开始‘左转’,改变了邓小平的改革开放政策。1992年1月,邓小平开始南巡,并对江泽民发出‘谁不改革谁下台’的警告,由于邓小平掌握实际军权,军报立刻发出‘为改革开放保驾护航’的社论支持邓小平,江泽民立刻服软转向。”

此前曾有知情人向媒体透露,反腐能否进行下去,中共军队是关键。因此军中“打虎”也就成了习近平阵营与江泽民集团生死博弈的重中之重。

今年11月习近平前往澳大利亚、新西兰、斐济三国进行国事访问期间,有消息指中共军队至少有8名将领落网。随后接连传出吉林省军区副政委宋玉文少将、海军副政委马发祥自杀身亡的消息。

近来,“反腐”大火又从军队烧向了各军校。有“军中北大”之称的南京政治学院,副院长戴维民少将被带走调查不到一个月之际,刚上任的政治部主任马向东大校也于12月初被带走调查。此前不久,解放军信息工程大学副政委、纪委书记高小燕少将也被带走调查,成为十八大后第一个被查的中共女将军。

上述一系列动作,被视为证实了外界关于“习近平正在清理江泽民在军队当中最后残余势力”的说法。

Army Newspaper: Tiger Behind Zhou Yongkang will be Hunted Down

After the downfall of Xu Caihou and other former military “tigers",
the CCP’s “tiger hunting" spread to all military academies,
Xi Jinping’s faction has taken more intensive action against
Jiang Zemin’s faction.
Recently, the CCP army newspaper published a
commentary article, believed to be a strong sign
of the clash between the two factions.

On 17 Dec, the CCP “People’s Liberation Army Daily"
published a commentary article titled
“Anti-corruption is a battle of life and death and can not
be lost".
The article analyzed and refuted two points of view,
“Anti-corruption will lose people’s support" and
“Can anti-corruption be continued".

It claimed that “It should end here" is just an illusion,
“have a tiger by the tail” is a misjudgment.

The article uses many harsh phrases such as “will not be
tolerated" and “eliminate all evilness" to respond to
the doubts of “whether anti-corruption can be continued".

It also highlighted, “Even big ‘tigers’ such as Zhou Yongkang,
and Xu Caihou have been hunted down, nobody will be spared."
It makes the outside world really wonder who the
army newspaper is referring to.
Some people believe that it may be Xi Jinping’s biggest
rival in the faction clash, Jiang Zemin.

Affairs commentator, Xia Xiaoqiang: “After the Fourth
Plenary Session, Xi Jinping accelerated the crackdown on
the Jiang faction."

“Especially after the announcement of the arrest of Xu Caihou
and Zhou Yongkang, the army newspaper
continuously published articles, with Xu Caihou upgraded from
“traitor" to “national demon".
“Army newspaper’s tone has been rising, even the
‘big tigers’ are hunted down, who else can be spared?"
“This sends a clear message, both Xu Caihou and Zhou
Yongkang are ‘big tigers’, and they are supported by
Jiang Zemin, such an argument points directly to Jiang."

Another speculation is that the article is alluding to another
General of the Jiang faction, Guo Boxiong,
who is a former vice chairman of Central Military Commission.

Overseas media observed that the credible Weixin account of
“Political Observer" had reports on Guo Boxiong.

The “Phoenix Weekly" recently had a report that revealed
the inside story of Gu Junshan’s corruption, it indirectly
mentioned that Guo Boxiong may be involved.

So it is natural for the outside world to relate the article
in the “People’s Liberation Army Daily" to Guo Bixong.

In addition, the article also pointed out “the confrontation
of corruption and anti-corruption was at stalemate",
it has reached a critical time and juncture that determines
success or failure.
Deepening anti-corruption will inevitably encounter
various obstructions and rebounds.
However, the article highlighted “there is no turning back",
and this is a “desperate battle".

In this regard, analysts believe that this article conveys the
attitude of Xi Jinping, categorically denying the possibility of
compromise in this power struggle.

Xia Xiaoqiang: “The army newspaper uses such clear and
strong words now, it releases two messages."
“One is Xi Jinping has encountered resistance from Jiang
faction after the downfall of Zhou Yongkang and Xu Caihou,
hence the article stated ‘we can not back down or lose
in this desperate battle’."
“The other is, Xi Jinping has sent a signal of the final decisive
showdown to the Jiang faction, via the army newspaper articles,
he also uses the military to warn and deter Jiang Zemin.

Since the CCP 18th National Congress, Xi Jinping took a series
of actions in national defense and military construction,
and quickly gained control of the military.

Then began the large scale “anti-corruption" operation.

Therefore, it is believed that the military is the backup force
of Xi Jinping’s “anti-corruption" and “tiger hunting", as well as
an important force in eliminating the Jiang faction.

Some analysts believe, the army newspaper voice for
Xi Jinping with such a clear stand, proves Xi’s control over
the military is quite secure.

Xia Xiaoqiang: “After Jiang Zemin obtained supreme
power in the CCP after the June Fourth Incident,
he began to ‘turn left’, and changed Deng Xiaoping’s
Chinese economic reform policy."
“On Jan. 1992, Deng Xiaoping began his southern tour, and
warned Jiang Zemin ‘people who stop reform would
be stepped down’."

“As Deng controlled the actual military power, the military
newspaper immediately issued the editorial
‘escorting Chinese economic reform’, and Jiang Zemin
immediately changed his attitude."

Insiders have revealed to the media, that the military
is the key to whether anti-corruption can continue.
So, “tiger hunting" in the military became the most important
fight in the desperate battle between Xi and Jiang factions.

In Nov. this year, during Xi Jinping’s state visit to Australia,
New Zealand and Fiji, it is reported that at least
eight generals in the CCP military were arrested.

Subsequently, it is reported that Major General Song Yuwen,
deputy political commissar of Jilin Military, and
Mafa Xiang, deputy political commissar of the Navy,
committed suicide.

Recently, the “anti-corruption" operation has spread to all
military academies.
After the Vice President of Nanjing Institute of Politics,
Dai Weimin was taken in for questioning,
the newly appointed director of the political department,
Colonel Ma Xiangdong shared the same fate in early Dec.
Earlier, Major General Gao Xiaoyan, the Political Commissar
and Discipline Inspection Secretary of the PLA Information
Engineering University had also been taken in for questioning.

She became the first female general to be investigated after
the 18th National Congress.

Those actions were regarded as the proof that
Xi Jinping is eliminating the last remnants of Jiang Zemin
in the military."
