【新唐人2014年07月09日訊】中共軍委副主席徐才厚落馬，眾人關注他背後的大老虎江澤民的命運將如何。國內有評論指出，當年汶川地震，總理溫家寶親赴災區卻調動不了軍隊，錯失救援良機。真實原因是當時的軍委主席胡錦濤是個傀儡，而且兩名軍委副主席只聽命於江澤民。

國內《和訊》網站刊登評論說，中共前軍委副主席徐才厚不過是「大樹」倒下之後散掉的一只猢猻。至於大樹是誰，讀者都心領神會。

2008年5月12號，四川汶川發生大地震，中共前總理溫家寶第一時間趕赴災區，表示搶救生命是救災工作的「重中之重」，他下死命令打通通往汶川的道路，但是中共軍隊行動遲緩、甚至以「天氣不好」為由按兵不動。溫家寶氣得摔電話，說：「我不管，是人民養活了你們，你們看著辦！」

徐才厚曾經掌管軍隊人事長達十幾年，在軍中培植了一班「勢力」，當時的軍權實際掌握在包括徐才厚在內的江派高級將領手中，胡錦濤被架空，並沒有真正掌握軍權，雖然汶川情況很危急，溫家寶卻調不動兵。

汶川地震當年年底，時任中共軍委總參謀長的陳炳德，在黨媒發表文章，首次揭示在汶川地震發生後72小時的黃金救援時間內，胡錦濤、溫家寶無法調動軍隊赴災區救援，在震後的3天時間裏，軍方的一切行動都要經過江澤民的批准。

原《中國軍事學院出版社》社長辛子陵對《美國之音》分析說，過去胡錦濤也想有所作為，但是叫江澤民欺負得沒有辦法。胡錦濤只有批准少將軍銜的權限，中將以上的需由江澤民批准。辛子陵說，胡錦濤在軍中「說不上話」。

辛子陵還表示，如果江澤民繼續像操控胡錦濤一樣操控現任黨魁習近平，習近平怎麼有所作為？習近平挾太子黨身份，因此敢跟江澤民叫板。

那麼，徐才厚案件會延燒到江澤民嗎？

原中共中央體改委幹部曹思源表示，這就要看雙方力量的博弈和習近平的決心了。

原中共中央體改委幹部曹思源：「一個是力量的較量，一個是看有沒有這樣的決心，如果有這個決心，那必然是要延伸，順籐摸瓜，就刨著根了嘛，他的後臺是誰？後臺的後臺是誰？那當然要延伸了。但是力量不夠呢？那也可能到某個階段就為止了。這個就看發展吧。」

原中共國務院秘書俞梅蓀則表示，徐才厚上游、下游組成的龐大利益群體，都應該受到清算，包括那些提拔他的人，和他通過買官賣官提拔的人。

原中共國務院秘書俞梅蓀：「網上說了，徐才厚是江澤民的軍中最愛。軍中最愛徐才厚怎麼上來的？背後的力量當然起了很大作用的。背後的力量使徐才厚起來，這整個是一個利益群體。當然應該清算的。」

「中國人民大學」前政治系主任冷傑甫表示，最近法國前總統薩科齊因為涉嫌腐敗被拘捕。中國也可以效仿西方民主國家。

中國人民大學前政治系主任冷傑甫：「如果說要是一個民主政府的話，像江澤民出了問題，那照樣可以清除，可以清算。你像陳水扁，你像法國的薩科齊，陳水扁是總統，薩科齊是總統，他不照樣發現問題送上法庭嗎？那江澤民也不能例外。如果他真的有問題，那就應該像薩科齊和陳水扁一樣，把他送上法庭，進行審判，不能客氣。」

徐才厚的落馬，另一個中共軍隊大佬郭伯雄的醜聞也被民眾曝光。與徐才厚一樣，郭伯雄也曾擔任中共軍委副主席，同樣是江澤民的嫡系親信。

7月6號，另有民眾在網絡發佈消息，披露2008年汶川地震時期，郭伯雄不通過中共軍委決議，就在成都設立軍內救災指揮部，拒不服從救災總指揮溫家寶的命令。

郭伯雄和徐才厚這兩個江澤民在軍中的嫡系心腹，郭伯雄分管「總參」、「總裝」，徐才厚分管「總政」、「總後」，在這兩條線上貪腐斂財，郭伯雄則是依靠倒賣軍火發財。

Jiang Zemin At A Dead End After Xu Caihou’s Downfall

People focus on the “big Tiger” Jiang Zemin after the downfall of General Xu Caihou Commentators say that after the Wenchuan earthquake, former premier Wen Jiabao went to the site, but the army didn’t listen to him, so a valuable rescue opportunity was lost. The then military chairman was puppet-like Hu Jintao, former leader of China. The other two deputy chairmen of the army only listened to Jiang Zemin.

Hexun.com commented that Xu Caihou was only one of the “scattered monkeys from the toppled tree”. Regarding who the toppled tree is, people understand the hint.

When the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Wen Jiaobao went to the site quickly. He stressed the importance of the rescue work. He also ordered the road to Wenchuan to be opened up at any cost. However, the army deliberately delayed, some even refused to send troops, they used excuses “weather wasn’t good enough”. Wen screamed on the phone to a general, “I don’t care, people have paid you, it’s all up to you!” then slammed the phone down.

Xu Caihou has been in charge of the army for ten years, part of a military clique. Military power was held by Jiang’s faction including Xu Caihou. Hu Jintao had no power over the military. Although Wenchuan was in adangerous situation, Wen Jiabaowasn’t strong enough to have the army dispatched.

Chen Bingde, then chief of staff of the military published an article exposing that 72 hours after the earthquake, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao couldn’t get the army dispatched to Wenchuan, All military action had to be approved by Jiang Zemin.

Xin Ziling, former publishing director at China’s Defense University spoke to Voice of America. He said that Hu Jintao wanted to help, but Jiang Zemin was above him. Hu Jintao only had the power to give orders to a major general. Above that level, Jiang Zemin must give orders. Xin Ziling says that Hu Jintao “can not speak” to the military.

Xin also says that if Jiang Zemin had to play the same role over current leader Xi Jinping, how could Xi do something different? Because Xi has a princeling background, he dares to fight Jiang.

So, will Xu Caihou’s case extend to Jiang?

Cao Siyuan, former cadre of the central regime says that it depends on both sides’ strength and Xi’s determination.

Cao Xiyuan: “It is a contest of strength and determination. If the determination is there, then they will investigate further to root out who was the man behind (Xu Caihou). If there is not enough strength, it will go no further. We will see.”

Yu Meisun, former secretary of the state council says that Xu Caihou’s large interest groups must be purged, including those he promoted and those who paid him to be promoted.

Yu Meisun: “Online commentaries says that Xu was Jiang’s most favorite military man. How did Xu get promoted? His supporters certainly played an important role. The supporters promoted Xu, This is an interest group. Certainly it should be purged.”

Leng Jiepu, former dean of politics at People’s University of China says that recently, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was arrested on accusation of corruption. China should learn from democratic Western countries.

Leng Jiepu: “For a democratic country, someone like Jiang Zemin has broken the law, they would still punish him.Such as Chen Shuibian in Taiwan, Sarkozy in France, they were presidents, werent they still sent to court? Jiang Zemin should be the same. If he really has problems, he should be treated the same as Sarkozy and Chen Shuibian. He should be sent to court and sentenced. There is no doubt.”

Another military “Tiger” Guo Boxiong’s scandals were also exposed. Guo the same as Xu Caihou, served as deputy chairman of the military commission. Guo was also Jiang Zemin’s confidant.

On July 6, netizens posted online news, exposing that during 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Guo, without asking the military commission’s approval, personally set up military disaster relief headquarters in Chendu. He rejected top disaster relief leader,Wen Jiabao’s orders.

Guo and Xu were Jiang’s close allies in the military. Guo was in charge of the PLA “General Staff Department” and “General Armaments Department”. Xu was in charge of PLA “General Political Department” and “General Logistics Department”. They were both corrupt and taking bribes. Guo made a fortune from reselling armaments.
