It was on the 25th of August 1960 that Chairman KIM JONG IL,with President KIM IL SUNG, visited the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards no 105 Tank Division of the Korean People's Army (KPA), which marked the start of the revolutionary leadership of Chairman KIM JONG IL over the revolutionary armed forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) It was a significant start to a long journey to build the DPRK into an invincible military power under the banner of the Songun (military-first) politics in order to firmly defend the destiny of the country, people and socialism.
Comrade KIM JONG IL put his heart and soul into guiding the work of building the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea . From the year 1960 to 2011, the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL visited 5,200 military units regardless of the weather , sometimes travelling up difficult and steep mountain roads or riding the raging waves to visit KPA units on far-flung islands . He even visited Panmunjom where the front-line between imperialism and socialism exists .Comrade KIM JONG IL climbed the steep Chol Pass 18 times.
Comrade KIM JONG IL worked to build the revolutionary armed forces to be strong not only in weaponry and technique but in ideology . Comrade KIM JONG IL ensured the party’s leadership over the revolutionary armed forces was solidified and that the monolithic ideological system was established . On the 25th of August 1960 comrade KIM JONG IL put forward the slogan “Let Us Defend with our very lives the Party Central Committee Headed by Respected Comrade KIM IL SUNG !”
The US imperialists committed many provocations against People’s Korea such as the 1968 “Pueblo “incident when the armed spy ship of the US imperialists infiltrated deep into the territorial waters of the DPRK , the 1969 EC121 spy plane intrusion and the 1976 Panmunjom incident. In these incidents comrade KIM JONG IL made sure that the DPRK revolutionary armed forces held to the militant anti-imperialist line and thwarted these heinous provocations of the US imperialist reactionaries.
In the 1990s the DPRK suffered not only the loss of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG but also consecutive years of natural disasters , the collapse of the world socialist market and the sanctions of the imperialists . World imperialism headed by US imperialism hoped that by putting pressure on the DPRK they could make it collapse or at least force the DPRK into the treacherous swamp of “reform “ and “opening up “ .
Comrade KIM JONG IL visited visited the Takabasol(Dwarf Pine tree) army post on New Years Day 1995 and declared that the DPRK was at the crossroads , that they could either live under independent socialism or become colonial slaves of the imperialists . The DPRK under Chairman KIM JONG IL ‘s leadership rejected the so-called New World Order of Bush , Blair , Clinton and the imperialists . To counter the imperialists, comrade KIM JONG IL implemented the Songun (army first politics ) .
The KPA was built up as a powerful invincible revolutionary armed force of Juche . The DPRK became a nuclear power . In October 2006, nearly 20 years ago , the DPRK carried out its first nuclear test shaking the imperialists !
Thus the journey of leadership over the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea that began on the 25th of August 1960 ended with the DPRK becoming an invincible military power of Juche !
Long live the leadership of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL over the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea !
