“三支两军”的初衷及其两重性

The Original Intention of “Three Supports and Two Military Actions” and Its Dual Nature

毛泽东和中共中央作出“三支两军”这一决定的最主要动因是支持“革命左派”全面夺权。在当时的情况下,军队一方面以自己的权威和力量,在维持社会稳定和经济建设上作出了重大贡献。但另一方面,也对军队自身建设和军政、军民关系产生了严重的消极影响。因此,不宜完全用解放军的“三大任务”、“三队”思想来解释和说明。

The main intention of Mao Zedong and the Central Committee of the Party in making the decision of ＂three supports and two military actions＂ （support to industry, support to agriculture and support to the broad masses of the Left; exercise military control of certain units and departments and give military training to students, etc. - tasks given to the PLA during the Cultural Revolution） was to help the ＂revolutionary Left groups＂ take over all power by force. Under the conditions at that time, the army, by its authority and strength, made great contributions in maintaining social stability and ensuring economic construction. However, serious negative impacts were also produced in the process for the army building and for the relations between the army and the government and between the army and the people. ＂Three supports and two military actions＂ was incompatible with the ＂three main tasks＂ of the PLA and with its role as ＂three kinds of force＂ （fighting force, production force and publicity force among the masses）.
