It is the immortal revolutionary exploits performed by Chairman
Among the immortal revolutionary exploits performed by Chairman in the history of our country there are the exploits he performed to prepare the students of
From mid-August to early October Juche 51(1962), when he was conducting revolutionary activities at
During the camping training held at the Oundong Military Camp, Chairman placed emphasis on equipping the students who took part in the military camping with the Juche-oriented military idea of President
During the military camping, Chairman told the students that the statesman should be combined with pen and sword adding that it was an important personality and qualification to be possessed by the revolutionary talents of the struggling era and that it was especially very important as our country was divided into two and confronting the enemies with arms.
He ensured that the students took sincere part in the military training with a correct viewpoint on war and deeply grasped the military idea and tactics of the great leader during the camping training.
On August 25th, Juche 51(1962) when the military camping training was in its prime, Chairman said in his talk with the students of
First of all, in the talk with the students that day, Chairman explained the factors and shortcomings of the victory in the war clarified in the preceding military theory.
Until then, the preceding military theory had divided the factors of victory in the war into permanent and temporary factors.
And, regarding the constant factor as the main factor in the victory of the war, it included the solid rear of the country, the moral character of the army, the quality and quantity of the division, the armed equipment of the army and the organizing ability of the commanding officer which conducted a war, and placed a solid rear in the first place.
In a statement that day, Chairman said that the preceding military theory divided the factors of the victory of the war into permanent and temporary factors and attached decisive importance to the permanent factors, which were attributable to the political and military purpose of the country at that time, adding that the issue of the decisive factor of the victory of the war could not be completely clarified.
He told the military campers that we, in order to clarify the decisive factor in the victory of the war, should know well which was the decisive factor in the relations between the internal forces of the country conducting the war and the external support relations, the relations between the human and material factors that would contribute to the victory of the war, and the political and ideological factors and military and technical factors of the country concerned.
Noting that the preceding military theory in the past failed to clarify the interrelationships between the internal and external factors of the victory of the war, Chairman said in his early years that there were internal and external factors in the victory of the war, but the decisive role was played by the internal factor, the Juche-oriented force of the country that conducted the war, and he said that the support of other countries played only a secondary role in the war and that it was impossible to win victory in the war only by external support, but it was not necessary to ignore the external factors and that external support contributed a great deal to the victory of the war by creating a favourable international environment.
On the same day, Chairman clarified the main cause of victory in the war on the basis of the essence of the war to the students who took part in the military camping.
Chairman said that war was an organized struggle waged by certain social groups and social forces with arms to meet their fundamental requirements, adding that men and weapons were involved in military actions, the main thing of which was not weapons but men who were armed with weapons.
Saying that the preceding military theories dealt with the issue of war from the standpoint of regarding weapons as the main one, he explained the limitations of the "weapon-everything idea" which set the superiority of armed equipment in war as the decisive factor in the victory of war.
Noting that the "weapon-everything idea" advanced by the preceding military theoreticians, such as "theory of warship dominance", "theory of tank dominance" and "theory of air dominance", which failed to see the ideological and mental state of the soldiers who participated in the war, Chairman said that the "nuclear weapon-everything idea" which was no more than a modern version of "weapon-everything idea" was "nuclear superstition" which made people think the destiny of all wars was decided by nuclear weapons while idolizing nuclear weapons, this fostered the fear of war among the people and encouraged the bourgeois pacifism, and thus it was the reactionary propaganda which make popular masses not participate in the revolutionary war.
Saying that the decisive factor in the victory of the war was the ideological consciousness of the people, not the weapons, the great General said that the ideological consciousness of the people depended on the ideological consciousness of man, since it was man who recognized the law of war and made active use of it, made and handled weapons. And he said as man's ideological consciousness was the decisive factor that determined man's behavior, the purpose for the use of weapons and the display of their might varied according to man's ideological consciousness, and the higher the level of man's ideological consciousness, the more advanced the technique of making and using weapons and the faster the military technique increases.
He went on saying that it was a historical fact shown by our revolution that the political and ideological factors played a decisive role among the political and ideological factors, military and technical factors.
Noting that the revolutionary army defeated the imperialist mercenary army by dint of ideological and spiritual, strategic and tactical superiority, Chairman said that the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle led by President was a revolutionary war that defeated the Japanese imperialists armed to the teeth, starting with nothing, the experience of the Fatherland Liberation War that defeated the imperialist aggressors and the experience of the revolutionary war in other countries proved that ideological consciousness was the decisive factor in deciding the victory of the war.
Chairman said that the idea that ideological consciousness was the decisive factor in the victory of the war was an original idea clarified by the great leader and that the ideological consciousness of man played a decisive role in the factor of the victory of the war, thus the great leader developed new ground in the development of military theory.
Chairman said to the military campers that the main factor in the victory of the war is its own force and it covers political, military and economic forces.
Also in the statement that day Chairman clarified important issues arising in strengthening the armed forces.
Noting that the decisive factor in the victory of the war should not underestimate the role of weapons even though the decisive factor of the victory of war depended on ideological consciousness, Chairman stressed the need to arm the Korean People's Army and the people politically and ideologically so as to fully display the politico-ideological superiority of the army and the people and, at the same time, directed great efforts to strengthening the People's Army militarily and technically as it was a weapon controlled by man to wipe out the enemy.
At the same time Chairman said that it was the internal, political and ideological factors that played a decisive role in deciding the destiny of the war and whether the political and ideological strength of the country was strong or weak depended on the leader's leadership and that only when we had our great leader at the front of our Party and we were under his wise leadership we could win the victory.
In the days of the military camping, Chairman prepared the students as pillars for carrying out the revolutionary cause of Juche firmly prepared with the Juche-oriented military idea and theory of President and further developed the Juche-oriented military idea and theory of President.
