Chapter 261: "The Great Commander of the Frontier"
The ceasefire in the border war between China and the Soviet Union was, first of all, the result of China's powerful military strikes and the pressure of the Soviet Union from all political forces in the world. Of course, Khrushchev and the Lords and factions of the Soviet Union [***] also made great efforts. On the other hand, China itself feels that the front is too long and somewhat inadequate. Modern and high-intensity warfare requires strong logistical support. The territory of the Soviet Far East is vast and sparsely populated, and transportation is inconvenient, which to a certain extent has caused great difficulties in logistical support. This problem also exists in the western part of China, which is far away from industrial manufacturing centers and has too long transportation lines; War is not an end, it is only a means, through which it is OK to achieve the goal you want to achieve. This "Bear Hunt" has exceeded its mission.
China now occupies more than one-third of the original territory, and such a large area really needs to be digested for a while. If you can't digest it a little more, it's easy to get caught in the whole sandwich, which is counterproductive.
Organize thousands of people, mobilize a mighty army, and march into the Far East, a region with vast resources and a great shortage of population! Thousands of troops are easy to find, but one is hard to find, and what the new area lacks most is high-level management personnel, especially the "feudal officials" who can be in charge of the overall situation. If there is another phenomenon, people like Long Sujin, commander of the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, who neglect their duties, will be very troublesome.
China [***] once again made a remarkable decision with great self-confidence to appoint 72-year-old Chiang Kai-shek, former chairman of the Kuomintang and president of The President of the Republic of China, who used to be known as the enemy of the Chinese people, as governor of Baikal Province, a new region in China. Also appointed was Chiang Ching-kuo, assistant to the governor of Baikal province. Mao Anying, Secretary of the Baikal Provincial Party Committee of China. Cheng Geng, commander of the Baikal Provincial Military District of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Sun Liren, former second-class general of the Republic of China Army, are deputy commanders of the Baikal Provincial Military District.
The party, government, and military leadership groups composed of these "Kuomintang and Communist Parties" are responsible for administering the areas north of the Outer Mongolia Prefecture, east of Lake Baikal, south of 53 degrees north latitude and west of Lake Baikal, Irkutsk Region, Tuku, and other areas, which are 25 times larger than TW. A total of more than 900,000 square kilometers of China's new territory.
People may have such an experience, after a long journey, the footsteps stopped, and always looked back at the road they had walked, and then the feeling came spontaneously.
In 1952, the footsteps of the Jiang family father and son on the political road were forced to stop, and in the past seven years, looking back on the many roads they have walked, climbing many mountains, and wading through many rivers, I reflect on myself.
The father and son of the Jiang family were like sleeping soundly under a big tree, but after waking up from a long sleep, they found that they had a dream and a year in the world. China, an ancient country of several thousand years, under the leadership of the supreme leader, has gone through an extremely unusual experience and undergone earth-shaking changes in this short period of a few years.
Seven years is not a long time, and with the strong rise of China, sweeping away a hundred years of malaise, the wind and thunder, the banner is vigorous, and the world is shocked. The world has been shaken by tsunamis one after another, and the world has been baptized by the hurricane of the Chinese revolution.
They know from Song Meiling, who travels back and forth between China and the United States, and from the daily newspapers, radio, and television news broadcasts that the world is watching China, and the world should look at China's eyes. This is something they could never have dreamed of. In that courtyard in Lushan, they are proud to be a member of the Chinese nation. China was able to develop against the trend so quickly in the ruins of the war that it had left behind, in a situation of poverty and whiteness. China has become a veritable giant of the world.
As a bystander, they witnessed with their own eyes that China, a great socialist power, was rising in the east of the world like a red wave. Can you do all this yourself? They keep asking themselves in their minds, the answer is yes, no! Absolutely not! During these years, they appreciated the style of the supreme chief's philosophy, management, revolutionary career, life practice, and other aspects, as well as the great achievements made by New China in politics, economy, and international status. They were convinced. And it is convincing orally, and it is taken thoroughly.
The education of the supreme chief to transform people's thinking is a complete system that is broad and profound, rich in content. He pointed out that prisoners are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they can be reformed. Moreover, the great idea of the supreme leader in reforming criminals has created a miracle in China's work of reforming criminals. This is obvious to all, so only under his leadership can the society have a good social situation of not closing the door at night and leaving no road behind.
"The dictatorship of the reactionary classes does not mean the elimination of all elements of the reactionary classes, but the transformation of them, the transformation of them by appropriate means, and the transformation of them into new people." Take your time, don't be in a hurry. 1 year, 2 years, 7 years, 8 years, the vast majority of people can improve. ”
For Chiang Kai-shek, the number one war criminal who was captured in TW, he gave clear instructions that people like Chiang Kai-shek would not be killed. Not to kill him is not because he has no sin to kill, but because it is not good to kill. It's not good to force others to transform, it's better to let him self-reflect and realize himself. We want to build a courtyard for him in Lushan, and he can eat whatever he wants, and if he is old and sick, he must be treated, just like our cadres. And to give him some documents to read, so that he can know how we did it. You can also listen to his opinion. Let him go out for a walk at the right time. If Chiang Ching-kuo is allowed to live with him, the relatives of the Chiang family overseas can come to visit their relatives and come and go freely. If he is reformed, has enlightenment, and wants to do something for the country, he can also be allowed to come out to work.
Chiang Kai-shek was not a great reader, because he lacked the tools to be a reader. He can't become a boiled fighter, even if he has this ambition, he doesn't have this opportunity. But there is no doubt that he is a nationalist, throughout China's modern history, if there was no Chiang Kai-shek, at that time China's Taiwan and Northeast China were occupied, China would have been divided into countless small countries by warlords in various places, and at that time, the only national political axe party, government, and army in China that could control the warlords, the Central Army, the Whampoa faction, the quasi-descendants, and the descendants of the Kuomintang with millions of military strength was none other than Chiang Kai-shek, and there was no second person, so Chiang Kai-shek's existence played an important role in promoting China's territorial integrity. In his own words, he had "an unshakable national resolve." Even in the afterlife, until the moment of his death, he still held on to his sacred ideal: that China would eventually achieve reunification. This is consistent with the Chinese people.
After Chiang Kai-shek was captured, he pulled him, a terminally ill and dying patient, back from the line of death, and he once took Premier Zhou's hand with tears of excitement and said: "You [***] people are really admirable in their broad-mindedness. I have seen that for more than 100 years, China has never been so powerful as it is in your hands. Foreigners have never been so honest as they are now. Under the leadership of Runzhi, you [***] people have made China stand tall in the sky. You say that you love the country, patriotism is in no particular order, as long as you have a place where you can use me, Jiang someone, as long as you can dedicate some residual heat to the country and the nation, I Jiang someone will definitely die. ”
In 1956, when he saw a briefing on China putting down a rebellion by the [***] elements in Tibetan Province, he was overjoyed and said to his son Chiang Ching-kuo: "Good kill!" Whoever messes with reading power will let him lose his head. ”
When he saw that China had launched a border counterattack against India, he was like a staff officer on the battlefield, lying on the map every day, according to the battle report, drawing red lines, blue lines, and smearing small red flags on it. When he watched China successfully dismantle India and incorporate the more than 400,000 square kilometers of Shannan into China's territory, he could no longer sit still. In the midst of such a great national rejuvenation, I must no longer be a bystander.
He picked up the brush and wrote a "cover letter" to the supreme chief on the back of the paper.
Runzhi Huijian:
On the occasion of China's victory in the war against India, I join the people of the whole country in warmly celebrating another great victory of historical significance won by the Chinese nation! To expand the territory of the Chinese nation, the merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future. This has made China a country that straddles two oceans.
As for the mistakes and sins I made in history, I explained in detail in the "Zhongzheng Self-Statement" I wrote in May last year. I myself realized that since 1927 I have adhered to the position of [***] as the general representative of feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism in China. His hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese revolutionary people. "IX. After the 18th Incident, I erroneously adopted the principle of "first reassuring the inside before attacking the outside world" and continued to "encircle and suppress" the Red Army. Inflicted a large number of casualties in the Red Army. He did the things that his relatives hated and his enemies were happy for, and committed unforgivable crimes.
After the Xi'an Incident, he carried out the second cooperation with your party, established the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate against the national united front, and actively deployed and commanded the [***] team to go to the front line in North China and Songhu to resist the invading army. Organized the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan and other battles. The vast numbers of patriotic soldiers fought bravely against the enemy and smashed the strategic plan of the imperialists in vain to achieve a quick victory and quickly annihilate China. He also made a modest contribution to the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign aggression, and of course made some strategic and tactical mistakes.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we launched a full-scale civil war and "acquitted" the release of the last commander-in-chief of the Chinese invasion army, Okamura Ninji, and the losses caused to China were immeasurable. In 1949, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I fled to Taiwan and continued to insist on being the enemy of the people. They have also committed new crimes against the Chinese nation.
I have made many mistakes and crimes, and I have already explained and reflected on them in the "Zhongzheng Self-Statement", so I will not repeat them all here. The root of my mistakes and sins is caused by my bourgeois worldview.
In February 1952, I was given two critical illness notices. When my life was in danger, it was you who used the best doctors, used the best medicines, gave me 24-hour special care, and organized the best cardiopulmonary specialists to consult my condition. And it took care of everything. The central authorities sent me a special medical team. I was rescued and treated with all my might.
It was you who approved me to go back to the mainland to spend my old age in peace, and allocated special funds to build a house for me in Lushan. Allow the dog Chiang Ching-kuo to live with me. Relatives overseas can come and visit their relatives and come and go freely.
The leniency policy of you and China [***] has been blessed to me, a criminal whose crime is unpardonable, and it is really heaven and earth and grace to recreate, and the feelings of gratitude are innumerable. Throughout history, modern times, people like me have experienced almost no good ends. They were either beheaded, expelled and exiled, or guillotined. If it weren't for the great proletarian humanism that you and China [***] have carried out against me, I would have become a lonely ghost floating outside the mainland, and I would not have become a new citizen of the People's Republic of China. ”
In the past few years, I have completely detached myself from work and society, and I have been mixing, eating and waiting for death every day, which makes me feel ashamed of this country, of the Chinese nation, and of you and [***] for saving me. Although I am 69 years old this year, I feel that I am in good health, and I always want to have a chance to do some useful work for our country and our nation, and to dedicate my last bit of residual enthusiasm to the country and the nation. I know that an enemy of the people who is so guilty of a heinous crime as me cannot do any more important work. But I can also do some technical work to make up for the excess, so as to repay you and [***] for your reinvention.
Finally, I sincerely wish you good health!
The supreme chief's level of control over people has reached the highest artistic conception, and he has all the observations of Chiang Kai-shek, an "old friend." Only by knowing people can you do a good job! After decades of competition, he knew Chiang Kai-shek well. Since Chiang Kai-shek has returned with this national spirit, why are we [***] people locked up in ideological and partisan disputes? Mobilize all positive factors, participate in the great socialist revolution and construction, strive together for the all-round rise of the great Chinese nation, share the great changes in China, look down on the world, and grasp the future.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned that the Central Political Axe had made him governor of China's newly formed province of Baikal, and that he had his eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo, as his main assistant, he was overhearted. Once again, he felt the broad-mindedness and firm self-confidence of the supreme leader.
"There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly inferior to the wind. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but sing the arrogant words of the supreme chief, "Qinyuan Spring. Snow.
