What are the intermediate elements in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period and what are the conditions for winning?

First of all, the so-called middle power refers to the power that takes a separation attitude towards China and holds a middle governance position. Secondly, the middle forces (also known as the middle group) during the Anti-Japanese War mainly refer to the national bourgeoisie and the upper petty bourgeoisie.

Great men believe that there must be three basic conditions for winning over the middle forces, namely: (1) We have sufficient strength; (2) respect their interests; (3) We resolutely oppose the die-hards.

Especially the third one is very important. Because the die-hards are also trying to win over the middle forces, which has isolated us, and they still expect the middle forces to act as their allies. Therefore, the great man further emphasized the importance of winning over the middle forces. He pointed out: "In China, this kind of intermediate force is very powerful and can often be the decisive factor in our struggle against the die-hards. Therefore, we must take a very cautious attitude towards them. "
