The "Political Commissar" of the Leader's Unit

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Comrade Kim Il Sung was a great man with ennobling character and virtue."

Many stories about President Kim Il Sung's help to the Chinese communists in the long period of the anti-Japanese war are kept deep in the hearts of the Korean and Chinese people as an anecdote.

Above all, the President's words, on receipt of the will of the Comintern brought by Wei Zheng Min before the historic Nanhutou meeting, clearly show how noble his internationalist obligation is.

It was when President Kim Il Sung met Wei Zheng Min in Nanhutou in February Juche 25 (1936).

He conveyed the instructions of the Comintern to the President to reorganize the anti-Japanese guerrilla units, which had been waging a joint struggle so far, into Korean and Chinese units.

At that time, after returning from Moscow, Wei Zheng Min, thinking that the biggest gift he could give to the great leader was this discretion, repeatedly said that it would be advisable to establish an alternative to divide the units according to the intention of the Comintern by the nation.

If all the guerrilla units in Manchuria, as instructed by the Comintern, had drawn out all the Koreans and formed a unit of pure Koreans, the force alone could have fought against the two divisional forces of the Japanese army stationed in Korea and thus hastened the country's liberation.

But the President could not abandon his fraternal and brotherly obligation as communists who have fought against the common enemy in a trench for many years.

If all Koreans in the 2nd Army Corps were withdrawn, the unit with 90 percent of Koreans would be destroyed as soon as they were removed.

The great leader said to Wei Zheng Min that the division of the anti-Japanese armed unit by nation can be regarded as a measure taken with respect to the Korean communists, but we do not regard the matter formally; we are now working as the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in content while fighting with the Chinese communists, and we don't need to make a formal separation under such conditions.

At the words of the President Kim Il Sung, Wei Zheng Min said in a joyful and worried tone that he would not carry out the instructions of the Comintern and that he had no pretext for holding Korean guerrillas in the anti-Japanese allied forces any longer.

President said that there was no need to worry about it, and he said that while working as a combined force system, we should call it the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in the Korean village in the homeland and in the northeast of Korea, and the anti-Japanese allied force in the Chinese village, and that it would be possible to carry out the instructions of the Comintern while maintaining the combined force system.

Wei Zheng Min was so impressed to say that if President treated the issue with such magnanimity, holding the hands of the President again, it would be a great support for the Chinese revolution.

President said to him that we fought together against Japanese imperialists for a year or two, so we would not break up after a few years in the future, adding that as long as China is in our neighborhood and the communist idea would come true in this country, our friendship will continue forever.

Upon receiving the words of President, he extended his thanks to him, saying that he would be a political commissar of Commander Kim Il Sung in the future, and that he would like to help the Korean revolution in closer unity with the Korean comrades.

Afterwards, Wu Zheng Min came to the unit led by President Kim Il Sung and went with him for a considerable period despite his inauguration as secretary of south Manchuria Provincial Committee of Communist Party of China and political commissar of the 1st Army Corps of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

The President's selfless internationalist obligation made him a "political commissar" of the unit.

In this way, President Kim Il Sung was the supreme personifier of the internationalist obligation who helped the Chinese revolution at the cost of his blood even in the difficult situation when he had to fight a hard fight against the Japanese imperialists armed to the teeth during the anti-Japanese armed struggle.
