We should organize the army units and the government and other organizations as well as the peasants for production. Since we are in the countryside, which is constantly ravaged by the enemy and involved in protracted war, it is imperative for the army units and the government and other organizations to engage in production. And it is possible for them to do so because the guerrilla fighting is scattered over a wide area. These are the reasons why we are resolved to launch a large-scale production campaign. Thanks to our production campaigns, we are free from hunger, and in fact the troops and the people are quite well fed.
Many units are partially self-supporting even in grain, clothing and bedding.
The achievements of the army units of the Border Region are even greater. This is the highest standard, the top grade, and it has been attained gradually over a period of several years. This standard cannot be adopted at the front, where fighting has to be done. There a second and a third standard may be set up. This standard can be gradually attained in two or three years.
