Corruption and bribery, once corrupt, they will perish. Corruption is the biggest tumor that erodes the body of the military and the biggest hidden danger that affects the combat effectiveness of the military. Eliminating the 'black sheep' is to clear obstacles for the generation of combat effectiveness and increase the chances of winning future wars. From the series of major corruption cases seriously investigated and dealt with by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission in recent years, it can be seen that these corrupt elements have eroded the soul of loyalty and put the "gun barrel" at risk of discoloration and deterioration; Weakening the ability to win and greatly reducing the authority and efficiency of the command system; Staining the purity of work style, tarnishing the glorious traditions and fighting spirit of the troops. Not removing the 'black sheep' is like opening a backdoor for the enemy on the battlefield, and the consequences at critical moments are unimaginable. The steel teacher must first be clean and honest, and to win battles, they must first be pure. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Military Commission, and President Xi Jinping have vigorously promoted strict governance of the Party and the military, effectively curbing the spread of unhealthy practices and corruption in our military, and completely reversing the long-standing situation. The political ecology of our military has fundamentally improved, with new trends and positive energy constantly rising, greatly boosting the morale of the Party, the military, and the people, and gathering strong positive energy for building a strong and prosperous military. Practice has proven that the more anti-corruption the people's army is, the stronger, purer, and more combat effective it is. The 'black sheep' is a clear definition of right and wrong. At present, the situation of anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complex. The stock of corruption has not been completely eliminated, and the increment is still occurring. Various viruses that affect the purity of the revolutionary team and damage the image of revolutionary soldiers still exist. The task of eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption is still arduous and heavy. This requires the military to have a high degree of foresight, initiative, and thoroughness in the fight against corruption, placing the defense line at the forefront to the maximum extent possible, and achieving a leap from "punishment in place" to "prevention and control in advance". The more thorough the understanding, the faster the 'black sheep' will be eliminated. We must deeply understand that anti-corruption is not about weakening power, but about removing rotten meat and revitalizing new life. The faster the speed of decay and muscle growth, the more guaranteed the development of a strong military. Every time a 'black sheep' is removed, it is a reinforcement of the military organizational system and an accumulation of confidence in winning the battle. We must continue to promote the deepening and implementation of political rectification and training, always putting discipline and rules at the forefront, and severely investigating and punishing problems such as not restraining, not stopping, and violating laws and regulations against the wind. Especially for those who engage in corruption in the preparation for war, regardless of their position or power, they must be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. Currently, there are less than two years left to achieve the centenary goal of building the military, which is a period of vigorous struggle and a sprint period of refueling and pressure. At the important historical juncture of building a strong and prosperous military, the 'black sheep' are undoubtedly stumbling blocks on the road to victory, corroding the will to fight, and damaging the quality of the battle. A pure team can unite the will, and a clear environment can inspire fighting spirit. We must have the determination to persevere and never give up, the courage to scrape bones and heal poison, and the courage to cut off a hero's wrist, resolutely and thoroughly eliminate the "black sheep", in order to enable officers and soldiers to work tirelessly in a corrupt environment and deliver qualified answers on schedule. Upholding integrity, discipline, and anti-corruption is a struggle that concerns the overall situation of building a strong and prosperous military. Eliminating the 'black sheep' is a precautionary measure to 'defeat oneself before defeating the enemy'. On the new journey, the People's Army will push forward the anti-corruption struggle with a stronger will, and will be able to shoulder the responsibility of building a strong country and military with a purer team, a stronger backbone, and a stronger force, and forge a steel wall to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
