In China's official narrative, certain "mythological stories" are repeatedly told. "On Protracted War," millet plus rifles, the Nanniwan reclamation, the Long March miracle... These stories are molded in textbooks as "national wisdom" and "leader's foresight," even becoming milestones of so-called "Party history." But upon careful examination of the original texts and historical facts, one discovers they are merely products of lackey culture's self-inflation—mythical fabrications created by a group of lackeys desperately trying to curry favor.

I. On Protracted War: From Hundreds of Words to Sixty Thousand Words of Mythology

In 1938, Yan'an conditions were harsh, paper was scarce, and printing was crude. Mao Zedong did indeed utter slogans about "protracted war," essentially saying: "China will not perish quickly, Japan will not win quickly, ultimately it will be a protracted war." Such judgments were not original but strategic thinking already instilled by Soviet advisors.

Yet in the post-liberation propaganda system, these few sentences became a 60,000-word "masterpiece," logically rigorous with comprehensive international perspective, even claimed to have influenced Chiang Kai-shek, moved Churchill, and landed on Roosevelt's desk. From a physical conditions standpoint, Yan'an of that era could never have printed such a tome; this "mythology" was entirely the result of secretarial teams' post-war expansion and propaganda machine recreation.

In other words, "On Protracted War" was not strategic insight but self-processing of lackey culture. A leader's casual remark could be written into an "earth-shattering masterpiece" by lackeys; the more absurd the result, the more it demonstrated loyalty.

II. Millet Plus Rifles: The Disappearing Act of Materials and International Aid

Another household story is "millet plus rifles." Propaganda claims the Communist Party defeated the well-equipped Nationalists and Japanese with primitive weapons, demonstrating the "great power of people's war." But the real situation was:

The Soviet Union provided massive weapons assistance from 1937 to 1941;

The Nationalists' frontal battlefield consumed enormous resources, creating conditions for the Communists to preserve strength;

Japan's defeat was fundamentally due to American industrial power, naval and air superiority, and atomic bombs.

Within this vortex of world forces, the "millet plus rifles" story was merely self-indulgent illusion, repeatedly told as a "miracle."

III. The Manufacturing Logic of Mythology: Lackey Culture, Not Political Tool

Many would say this is the Communist Party's deliberately crafted "political tool." But I believe this overestimates their calculation. Closer to truth is a spontaneous operation of lackey culture:

A superior utters an ambiguous phrase;

Subordinates desperately expand, process, and elevate it to demonstrate loyalty;

Colleagues engage in internal competition—whoever exaggerates more absurdly stays safer;

Ultimately, these exaggerations are continuously piled up, becoming so-called "Party history."

"On Protracted War" was like this, millet plus rifles was like this, Nanniwan and Long March miracles were the same. Their essence is not strategy but literary creation of lackeys currying favor.

IV. What Really Determines History: The Vortex of Power

Only by shifting focus from Party-sh*t mythology can one see the true historical logic:

Japan was not dragged down by "protracted war" but defeated by American industrial and military power;

China's survival was not Mao's strategic genius but America's Cold War acceptance of China, allowing it to profit from "betraying the Soviet Union";

Soviet deception, American miscalculation, and international power structures were the key variables in history.

Within this vortex of power, China had no free choice but was merely swept along and exploited. The so-called "masterpiece" of "On Protracted War" and the "miracle" of millet plus rifles were merely self-entertaining myths with no influence on the vortex's trajectory.

V. Deceiving to the End: Even Their Own Children Believed

Most ironically, these lackey-fabricated myths ultimately deceived not only the masses but their own children. Generations grew up reading these stories, believing Mao truly "foresaw Japan's inevitable defeat," believing they truly "conquered the world with millet plus rifles." Thus, lies became memory, Party-sh*t became history.

Conclusion

"The Mythology of Lackeys: The Fabrication of Party-Sht" — This is not negation of individual cases but revelation of an entire cultural mechanism. The Communist Party's so-called Party history is essentially a group of lackeys desperately currying favor, manufacturing Party-sht mythology. What truly determined China's fate was never these myths but the power of the world vortex.
