Revolutionary Armies in
Sine the outset of the Northern Expedition, our
National Revolutionary Armies from the officers to the
privates have coped with innumerable instances of danger,
and more than 30,000 of them have either been killed or
wounded. Such sacrifices are to be much valued, for
we have in view the noble object of promoting in compliance
with the principles of the "Three Aspects of Democracy"
our National Revolution in which we aim at the overthrow
of militarism, Imperialism, Obscurantism, Feudalism, and
all influences that hinder our racial development and
endanger the existence of our Chinese race, and the
emancipation of our Chinese race and the acquisition of
independence, freedom and equality for China. Nobody
who has not a clear conception of this object, can be
qualified to be a National Revolutionary soldier, and
any person who has a desire to destroy our National
Revolution and make us fail to achieve our end will be
an enemy to our National Revolutionary Army.
We have fought in seven or eight provinces such
as Hunan, Hupeh, Kiangsi, Fukien, Chekiang, Anwei, and
Kiangsu, and have occupied them through the sacrifices
we have made for the sake of our principles, while the
provinces of Shansi, Kansu, Szechwan, Kweichow and
Yunnen have also flocked together under the National
Revolutionary standard and worked hard for our Revolution.
The militarists in the North have been defeated in
immediate succession and the Imperialists have been
seized
