The Youth League was founded in 1938, which was different from ordinary political organizations and groups and was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek. Originally, in the brewing process of its establishment, some people suggested that it was not necessary to set up an independent group, but only to set up a youth department within the party, which was similar to the nature of a community, but it was opposed by Chiang Kai-shek. His admiration for the youth league is surprising, calling it the Kuomintang? New blood? .
With the support of Chiang Kai-shek, the Youth League has developed rapidly, reaching more than 10,000 people, and its main leading members are mostly composed of Chiang Kai-shek's cronies. In addition to 1946, important cadres of the Youth League Committee have arrived at 130 and Huangpu Departments. Jiang Jingguo Department is also an important force, which seems to want to turn the Youth League into a base for cultivating Prince Jiang's political power and prestige.
In terms of organizational nature, the Youth League also has a strong color of private political groups. Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme leader of the Youth League. According to the constitution, the Youth League has a head, which is chaired by Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Kuomintang. Members must obey the orders of the chief.
The Youth League is also a powerful helper of Chiang Kai-shek in social and political activities. It actively competes with the * * * production party for youth and engages in espionage.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Chiang Kai-shek favored the Youth League, and he even privately planned to replace the position of the Kuomintang with the Youth League and carry out a major political reform.
Therefore, the Youth League has been aggressive since its establishment. Although the cadres of the Youth League are all Chiang Kai-shek's direct line, their internal contradictions are very fierce. The advantage and focus of CC department mainly lies in Kuomintang. Where was it then? Jiang Jiatian Chen Xiajia? Say, the power of the Youth Federation is in the hands of the Huangpu Department. Therefore, CC members consciously want to lower the status of the Youth League, saying that the relationship between the party and the masses means that the Youth League is subordinate to the Kuomintang, which makes most members of the Youth League and the Huangpu Department feel dissatisfied. Therefore, Kang Ze, then director of the Youth League organization and the backbone of Huangpu Department, sharply criticized CC, emphasized the importance and independence of the Youth League, and extended Chiang Kai-shek's words that the Youth League was the hope of the Kuomintang in the future and shouldered the heavy responsibility of organizing the youth of the whole country. Inspired by this idea, youth league organizations all over the country also actively competed with local Kuomintang grass-roots organizations for power and status, and friction incidents occurred from time to time, which made Chiang Kai-shek deeply distressed.
1944, Jiang Jingguo replaced Kang Ze, and the above contradiction became more acute. Because of Jiang Jingguo's special status and position, the Youth League gained more momentum, and there was even a proposal to form a party independently, that is, the Youth League formed a new party and took turns to govern with the Kuomintang, with Chiang Kai-shek as the leader of the two parties and Jiang Jingguo personally leading it. This discussion finally took place in the Third Youth League? Er Quan? The meeting was put forward in public. This proposal is extremely unfavorable to the CC element. If passed, the party power they hold will be lost from now on. So Chen Lifu made a special trip to Lushan to remonstrate with Chiang Kai-shek. CC's reason for opposing the Youth League to form a new party is simple and practical: since Chiang Kai-shek is the leader of the two parties, what will he do when the two parties accuse each other of attacking? CC's opinion finally persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to cancel the proposal of the youth league to build the party.
Sanqing Youth League not only has contradictions with CC Department, but also has deep grievances with Jiang Jingguo Department and Huangpu Department. Since Jiang Jingguo replaced the powerful position of education director of Kang Ze Youth Cadre School, Kang Ze has been resisting with a negative attitude. In fact, apart from the team he brought from Jiangxi, Jiang Jingguo was not at all comfortable in using and controlling the grass-roots cadre organizations of the Youth League. Moreover, after the failure of the plan to build a party independently at the Lushan meeting, he became even more disheartened and too lazy to ask questions, and the work of the Youth League became more and more lax.
What annoyed Chiang Kai-shek most was that the Youth League took an active part in various political movements. Because Jiang Jingguo turned his energy to other aspects and had no time to ask about the Youth League, some cadres of the Youth League began to make friends with other politicians and manipulated members to participate in the election. On the other hand, CC is particularly difficult, such as in the Kuomintang? All six? During the congress, in order to help Chiang Kai-shek control the election work, CC claimed that they had always obeyed the leader and voluntarily dedicated their voting rights to Chiang Kai-shek. And the youth league doesn't know the weight, especially in view of this-the situation. It wrote to express its opposition that the right to vote cannot be given and accepted in private. Of course, this will make Chiang Kai-shek unhappy, and CC will also take the opportunity to attack and hurt the opposition between Chen and communist party, stressing that there will be competition from other parties in the future. If the Kuomintang disperses its forces again, the consequences will be worrying.
All of the above finally prompted Chiang Kai-shek to make the final decision to merge the Youth League. However, there is still a mystery. According to the relevant provisions of the merger of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, all members of the Central Committee of the Youth League were recognized as members of the Kuomintang Central Committee. Therefore, Jiang Jingguo naturally entered the Kuomintang Central Organization, thus completing an important step in inheriting his father's footsteps.
