But the main element of their success was this, that wherever the working people were not coerced, they worked, not for the reactionists, but for 'the rebels'.

但他们成功的主要因素在于，只要劳动人民不受胁迫，他们就会为“造反派”而非反动派劳动。

As I told you, the rank and file of the army was not to be trusted by the reactionists; but the officers generally were prepared for anything, for they were mostly the very stupidest men in the country.

正如我告诉过你的，军队的普通士兵是不被反动派所信任的；但是军官们一般都做好了应对任何事情的准备，因为他们大多是这个国家最愚蠢的人。
