Hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost their "job". Their farms and houses were destroyed in the war. Most of them had no places to go and knew only the fighting in the past decade. Mao told them that if KMT doesn't want you, we communist want you. He also promised them that after we take over China, every one will get a piece of land (of course, he takes the land back later.) Mao took them all and organized them to become the red army. In two years after 1946, KMT was defeated and Chang fled to Taiwan. Too bad Chang Kai-Shek didn't have Uncle Sam's democratic system to protect him. Otherwise he could sue Mao like Kraft did to company Y.
