background

1927 In March, Chiang Kai-shek set up another central committee in Nanjing, and the contradiction between the Kuomintang Wuhan Wang Ching-wei Group and the Nanjing Chiang Kai-shek Group became public, that is, the so-called "Nanjing-Han split". Due to the expanding influence of China * * * Producers' Party, the Kuomintang in Nanking and other places began to arrest and execute a large number of * * * producers in April and launched the April 12 coup. In July, the Kuomintang also decided to "clean up the party" in Wuhan, that is, the July 15 Incident.

On the one hand, he dismissed Bao Luoting, the representative of * * * production in China, on the other hand, he informed all government departments and the army to expel * * * producers. Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei colluded with imperialism and the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, brutally massacred the producers and revolutionary masses, and failed the great anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution of the people of China since 1924.
