Due to the exigent circumstances, we as old soldiers, make the following request: Since the People"s Army belongs to the people, it cannot stand against the people, much less kill the people, and must not be permitted to fire on the people and cause bloodshed. To prevent the situation from escalating, the Army must not enter the city.
