The Military Is Strong Because It Enjoys Popular Support
軍隊(duì)強(qiáng)大的根源在于民眾。中華先哲早有兵民一體、軍政一體的大軍事觀，而不以單純、片面的軍事觀點(diǎn)衡量軍隊(duì)的戰(zhàn)斗力。這是符合實(shí)際的，因?yàn)槊癖娛擒婈?duì)的兵源，也是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)所需人力、物力、財(cái)力等各種資源的來(lái)源；民力與軍力、民心與軍心、民氣與士氣等是相通的，前者是后者的基礎(chǔ)。這是民本思想的具體體現(xiàn)。毛澤東在《論持久戰(zhàn)》中說(shuō)“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的偉力之最深厚的根源，存在于民眾之中”，就源于這一思想。
The strength of an army derives from popular support. Ancient Chinese philosophers did not measure the combat effectiveness of the armed forces purely from the perspective of the military, but stressed the integration of the military and people, as well as the integration of the military and government. This is in line with reality, because the people are the source of the military, and also provide other resources needed for war, such as manpower and material and financial support; there is an interrelation between the people's strength and military strength, between popular sentiment and military mood, and between popular support and military morale, with the former being the basis of the latter. This is the concrete embodiment of people-oriented thinking. In On Protracted War, Mao Zedong drew upon this concept when he wrote, "The richest source of power for waging war lies in the people."
