25 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim
Jong Un made a speech at the banquet given in celebration of August 25 2012, the
anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary
leadership.
He said August 25 marks the 52nd anniversary of great Generalissimo Kim
Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary leadership, adding that Kim Jong
Il, totally dedicating himself with his patriotic will, holding high the banner
of Songun all his life, built up an invincible military power and provided the
might of the great unity between the army and people to be envied by the whole
world and thus placed the dignity of the country and its people on the highest
level in the history of the nation. These exploits will remain shining forever,
he stressed.
He, reflecting the unanimous desire of all the service personnel of the
KPA and people, paid highest tribute and extended eternal glory to Kim Jong Il,
who dedicated himself to Songun journeys for patriotic devotion to the country
and its people, burning his heart with warmth and love for them all his life.
"I am pleased to be amongst you comrades-in-arms in the eastern
sector of the front on this significant day at a time when the enemies are busy
with provocative drills for a war of aggression under our nose," he said,
and continued:
"August 25, along with April 25, is a historic day to go down in
the history of the building of our revolutionary armed forces and the history
of our country. The might of the KPA proud of being a powerful revolutionary
army of Mt. Paektu with tremendous capability and the dignity of our country, a
world-class military power and a full-fledged nuclear weapons state, would be
unthinkable without this day.
It is the firm determination and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to
defend the security of the country and the gains of revolution and build a
reunified thriving nation on this land, tightly holding the arms of Songun
provided by Generalissimo Kim Jong Il with so much effort, making journeys for
the Songun revolutionary leadership all his life.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet army are staging large-scale war
drills for aggression targeted against us even with forces of their allies
involved, posing a grave threat to our security.
During my inspection of units on the forefront in the southwestern
sector of the front I already issued an order to the KPA to keep itself highly
alerted against the reckless moves of the enemies and follow them with high
vigilance. If the enemies fire even a single shell on our inviolable territory
and territorial waters, the KPA should deal prompt deadly blows at them and the
whole army should turn out as one and lead the battle to an all-out
counter-offensive for accomplishing the great cause of national reunification.
I issued this order to the whole army and examined the operational plan for
implementing it and finally signed it.
The courageous officers and men of the KPA, upon receiving this order,
occupied their battle positions to cope with the reckless moves of the U.S. and
the south Korean puppet forces and are now waiting for a final order for charge
for a life-and death-battle against the enemies.
There is a limit to our patience.
'Counter a provocation with a prompt counterattack and a war of
aggression with a great, just war for national reunification!' This is our
principled stand and steadfast will.
We will not remain an onlooker to the enemies' frantic moves for
aggression but make every possible effort to protect the destiny of the country
and the nation.
It is the truth proved by history that no force on earth can overpower
the people who are all out for the cause of justice.
If another war breaks out on this land due to the U.S. and the south
Korean puppet forces' intolerable actions, though we do not want it, the war
will only bring a shameless doom to them and our great nation will greet a new
bright day of national reunification.
Only victory and glory will be in store for us advancing under the
uplifted immortal banners bearing portraits of the great Comrade Kim Il Sung
and Comrade Kim Jong Il with broad smile on their face.
Availing myself of this meaningful opportunity, I would like to renew
once again the firm resolution to steadfastly and invariably keep to the path
of Songun traversed by Comrade Kim Jong Il, arms in arms and shoulder to
shoulder with you, for our country and revolution."
A rosy future is in store for the Korean people, he said, calling for
holding more tightly the arms of revolution to protect their happiness and
safety and the dignity of the power of Mt. Paektu.
Kim Jong Un proposed a toast to the final victory of the revolutionary
causes of Juche and Songun pioneered by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and led by
them successfully, to the health of the commanders and commanding officers of
combined units present and all servicepersons and to the victorious advance of
the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu.
