SPEECH ON KPA
ANNIVERSARY
In a few days it will
the the 81st anniversary of the Korean People's Army . Given the
tense situation in which the KPA is confronting US imperialism at
gunpoint it is important to say something about this anniversary.
Moreover this year will be the 60th anniversary of the victory in the
Fatherland Liberation War.
The great leader
comrade Kim Il Sung learnt at an early stage the truth that the
revolution is advanced and defended by the cause of arms. He
inherited 2 pistols from his father Mr Kim Hyong Jik. He resolved to
form a revolutionary armed force. Thus the KPA was founded as the the
Anti -Japanese People's Guerrilla Army at Antu deep in the forests
of Manchuria in 1932 by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. The
AJPGA was an army of the workers and peasants and a revolutionary
armed force of the Korean people. It was founded without the support
of a state or a rear base. It was the first guerrilla army in the
world organised under the banner of Marxism-Leninism. Rather than
receiving generous foreign aid(in fact some people thought that the
USSR would provide a grenade factory but they were disappointed) it
wrested weapons from the Japanese aggressors and made its own such as
the Yongil bomb.
The AJPGA was re
organised into the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in March
1934.It fought many battles under the command of the great leader
comrade Kim Il Sung,sun of Juche, military strategic genius and ever
victorious iron-willed brilliant commander. The anti Japanese
partisans of the KPRA had to undergo many hardships. The KPRA ,under
the command of the great leader leader general Kim Il Sung smashed
the Jap imperialist aggressors at Pochonbo, Musan and many other
places. It defeated the million strong Kwangtung army of Japanese
imperialism and liberated Korea on the 15th of August 1945.
The KPRA was
transformed into a regular standing army on the 8th of February 1948.
The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung ensured that self reliant
defence industries were started . The DPRK manufactured its first
tommy -guns in the late 1940s.
The KPA a new Juche
based armed force,which totally and thoroughly inherited the
traditions of the anti Japanese armed struggle, received a real
baptism of fire on the 25th June 1950 when the US imperialists and
south Korean puppets launched the Korean War against the young
independent DPRK. The KPA under the command of the great leader
comrade Kim Il Sung a military strategic genius and ever victorious
iron willed brilliant commander defeated the US imperialists .The US
was not only the strongest military power in the world , undefeated
in many wars, but also dragged into the war its satellite states such
as the UK (to my eternal shame),France,Netherlands and others . Thus
it was not easy for the KPA to defeat such a formidable armed
invasion force. The KPA was also short of weapons as its allies did
not supply them speedily enough . The KPA employed self-reliant Juche
orientated military tactics including new forms of warfare such as
tunnel warfare .It was by the dint of such tactics and the commanding
art of the great leader Marshal Kim Il Sung that US imperialism was
defeated not only militarily but morally and politically as an era of
decline for US imperialism started.
After the Korean war
the US imperialists continued their provocations against the DPRK but
were smashed each time by the heroic KPA under the command of the
great revolutionary leader Marshal Kim Il Sung. This included the
"Pueblo" incident of 1968, the EC121 incident, the
Panmunjom incident and others.
The great leader
Marshal Kim Il Sung not only put forward the concept that the
People's Army is the army of the working class,the army of the
revolution and the army of the party but also that each soldier is a
match for a hundred .The line of making the army a cadre army in
which each member could carry out the duties of the next rank. The
line of arming the whole people and fortifying the nation was also
implemented. Of course the modern revisionists seized with fear of
imperialism and obsessed with "peaceful co existence" got
their lackeys in the DPRK the anti party counter revolutionary
factionalists to oppose the slogan " a match for a hundred"
but the rank and file KPA soldiers responded by chiseling the slogan
into a rock.
Self-reliant defence is
one of the central pillars of the Juche ideology. The DPRK developed
self- reliance in defence and was not dependent on other countries
for its defence. The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung realised both
through the experience of the anti- Japanese revolutionary struggle
and the Fatherland Liberation War as well incidents outside the
country such the Cuban missile crisis(in which the revisionist USSR
betrayed the Cuban people by doing a deal with the US imperialists)
that a country should only rely on itself for defence and not
outsiders. It can be added that the Yugoslav war
in the 1990s also demonstrated that smaller countries cannot expect
help from big powers.
Today under the command of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who
follows in the footsteps of the
great generalissimo's Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il the KPA maintains
the self-reliant principle
and does not rely on other countries for defence . Last year our
delegation witnessed the massive
April 15 KPA parade which demonstrated the power of the KPA and in September 2012 a
delegation from this group visited the KPA Exhibition of Military
Equipment which also showed the
self-reliant defence capabilities of the KPA. We are convinced that
the KPA can reliably defend the
DPRK and win final victory under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong
Un.
