Chapter 1054: Decision-making with the Supreme Chief

Now because China's economic development far exceeds that of the previous life, China's national strength has increased much faster than in the previous life, although people also have a sense of loss and hesitation after the opening of the country, but it is far less strict than in the previous life, a large part of the Chinese instead think that China's economic system is better, China's unified business model led by the political axe is an example for the rest of the world, because it is easier to concentrate on achieving goals.

On the one hand, this kind of self-confidence brings pride to the Chinese and makes them firmly believe that they are right, so that those who want to Westernize or who have been bought by Western forces cannot find a propaganda market and cannot find an accompaniment will be conducive to social stability and China's healthier development in a certain way.

On the other hand, however, it is easy to make the Chinese people, especially those old comrades, more stubborn and unwilling to carry out reforms. And because the Chinese people do not have envy, it is difficult for people to independently have the idea of learning from the developed countries of the West, and without the master that people think they have, they need to be artificially guided by the political axe, and they need the political axe to support people to learn from the West.

From this point of view, China's development has encountered obstacles.

This contradiction requires the thinking of the superiors, and the new policy support of the superiors is also needed, and the political axe is also needed to promote, and it is difficult to grasp this degree well: if the promotion is small and does not have the desired effect, many people will still rest on their laurels, and still think how correct and wise they are. However, if the impetus is too great, the elites who envy the West may take the opportunity to stir up trouble and demand that China follow the path of the West, thereby spending their own martial arts.

The reborn Guo Zhuocheng has obviously been thinking about this problem for a long time, but he has not been able to find a good way, and he feels very tricky, and because of the identity problem, he can't openly confide his inner thoughts with the supreme leader, let alone bring up the bad things in his previous life to prove that his anxiety is well-founded, not groundless.

In addition to the anxiety caused by this question, there was also a reflection on the future of the Soviet Union.

Guo believes that the future of the Soviet Union is decided, and no matter what it does in this life, it will still collapse and disintegrate like in its previous life. This was determined by the internal system of the Soviet Union, and as long as its internal system was not changed, it was impossible for the decaying body to grow into new flesh all at once, the body could not become healthy all at once, and death was certain.

The question he had to consider now was whether it was better to promote the early collapse of the Soviet Union or to delay the collapse of the Soviet Union as late as possible. From the perspective of the psychology of the Chinese people, of course, the sooner the Soviet Union collapses, the better, from the ancient tsar-ruled Russian principalities to the current Soviet Union, they are all China's mortal enemies, and the Soviet Union has only a handful of good words for China for hundreds of years, but they have occupied China's vast land area. The sooner it collapses, the sooner China will be happy, the sooner the northern lands threatened by the Soviet Union's million-strong mechanized troops will be at peace, the sooner China will be able to go all out into peacebuilding, and the sooner China's economy will take off.

However, it is not so simple, because once the Soviet Union collapses, it will also mean the end of the honeymoon period between China and the United States. Just like in previous lives, the United States and other Western countries will target China, and their policy toward China will change from conditional support to all-out suppression. The pace of China's economic development has been interrupted, and China must rely entirely on its own strength to grow tenaciously in the cracks. China and the United States can be said to lose both, but China has suffered more than the United States, which has a big business.

So the collapse of the Soviet Union was a double-edged sword for China.

Guo Zhuocheng now thinks about the fate of the Soviet Union with the aim of how to make China gain more benefits from this major event.

The Soviet Union will disintegrate and will inevitably disintegrate, but Guo Zhuocheng very much wants its disintegration to be controlled by China's political axe, although he does not dare to hope that China's political axe will disintegrate when it wants, but at least it can not disintegrate when China does not want it to disintegrate, and it will slowly disintegrate when China does not care about its disintegration.

As long as China's political axe manages to make the Soviet Union suffer greater losses in the Afghan war, buy more grain in the international grain market, and accumulate more armed personnel on the Sino-Soviet border, the Soviet Union will be even more sad, and if we give some private help to those who have made great contributions in the process of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the previous life, so that they can advance or play a greater role, the disintegration of the Soviet Union will naturally be faster.

On the contrary, if China manages to reduce Soviet losses on the battlefield in Afghanistan, provide food to the international grain market, reduce its armed forces on the Sino-Soviet border, ease the atmosphere on the Sino-Soviet border, and remind the current Soviet leadership of how the elites who promoted the collapse of the Soviet Union damaged the Soviet state, the Soviet Union will naturally prolong the period of recklessness and the period of disintegration will be extended backwards.

Of course, these ideas are Guo Zhuocheng's personal thoughts, and there are certainly not many loopholes, but as long as Guo Zhuocheng resolutely does it, with the supreme leader's understanding and ability, and with their trust and support, China's political axe will definitely do a better job in this regard, and the results achieved will definitely far exceed Guo Zhuocheng's thoughts.

In his mind, in the collapse of the Soviet Union, China could at least make a lot of money, and it should take back Outer Mongolia.

…… Before the supreme leader boarded the special plane to return to China, Guo Zhuocheng received a notice from his superiors asking him to attend a secret meeting and attend the military parade on 1 October.

Guo knew that this secret meeting would definitely discuss the results of his visit to the United States, and at the same time discuss how to implement the relevant agreements signed and keep the results in his pocket safely. Perhaps China and the United States have also signed some secret agreements that need to be communicated and discussed. As the initiator and promoter, Guo Zhuocheng is naturally qualified and must attend such meetings.

On 27 September, he handed over the work he was doing to Chu Xuji, the first deputy director, and then took a civilian airplane to Beijing. Because of the rapid economic development of Qionghai Island and the great attention paid to it by the superiors, Haika City has now opened a civil aviation plane from Haika City to the capital, which is a trip once a week.

After arriving in the capital that night, Guo Zhuocheng was not arranged for anything, and the staff only let him rest and provided a stack of materials related to the supreme leader's visit to the United States. Guo Zhuocheng naturally did not ask around, but honestly read these materials in the room, learned a lot of things that he did not understand before, and at the same time took notes on the numbers he might need in tomorrow's meeting.

Early the next morning, Guo Zhuocheng was picked up by a Hongqi bulletproof car. There were five more people attending the meeting than in the last secret meeting, and all of them were well-known figures, and if it weren't for Guo Zhuocheng's speciality, even ordinary provincial leaders might not be able to meet them lightly.

The topic of the meeting was the same as Guo Chengcheng had predicted, that is, to discuss the results of the Supreme Minister's visit to Wèn. The meeting lasted for two whole days and did not end until the afternoon of 30 September.

Although he was a little tired, the participants were excited, especially Guo Zhuocheng, who was reborn, was even more excited, not only because everything he expected, and some of the results even exceeded his imagination, but more importantly, he was able to participate in the decision of national events and the future direction of the country together with the national leaders.

This makes him very proud! Life is like this, what more can you ask for?!

It was not until the supreme leader announced the adjournment of the meeting that Guo Zhuocheng's excited heart calmed down. When he broke up with Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu, he said with a smile: "Vice Premier Yu, if our goal can be achieved smoothly, I wonder if the Soviet Union will be anxious, and I wonder if the United States will regret it at that time?" ”

Yu Gangqiu patted Guo Shucheng's shoulder and said, "Boy, don't talk about it." As you said, this is China's best opportunity and it must be seized. Even if we are broken to the ground, we will achieve these goals. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have to respect us, and this is the inevitable development of history. ”

The supreme leader next to him also said: "Xiao Guo, we have a long way to go." It is certainly difficult to achieve this, but the biggest difficulty is to change the concept of our people, which is much more difficult than economic development. However, no matter how difficult it is, we must crack the conservative shell in the minds of those of us, let everyone accept new ideas, and look outward and forward. As you said, we must occupy the propaganda front. At the same time as the occupation, the concept of our old comrades must first be changed, and this must be done by me. ”

The next day, October 1, 1982, the Chinese people ushered in the 23rd anniversary of the founding of New China. Today, China will hold a grand military parade in the magnificent Tiananmen Square, where Chinese and foreign guests will feel China's strength together, and the people of the world will witness China's rise on TV and radio.

Military parade is a traditional military ritual that is highly valued in ancient and modern China and abroad, and rulers have known to use this ritual thousands of years ago to show the power of violence and deter hostile forces. Since written records, China has made clear the meaning of "watching the army to deter the princes" for military parades in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are also records of many military parades in ancient Egypt, Persia, and Rome abroad. The number and scale of military parades in modern times far exceed those in ancient times, and many countries have military parades almost once a year.

One of the most famous is the military parade on Red Square in Moscow during the Second World War, when Moscow was in danger of being attacked by the powerful army of fascist Germany, the Soviet political axe at that time risked being bombed by enemy planes, resolutely held a military parade in the square, and reported live to the world via guò radio waves. The military parade boosted the morale of the anti-fascist front, demonstrated the national and military prestige of the Soviet Union, and established the national self-confidence and pride of the Soviet Union. The troops participating in the parade also went into battle directly from the parade square, dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the German [***] team.
