Chapter 276: Macro Idea
The Soviet Union, the most ferocious enemy of the Chinese nation, was disintegrated in advance and cut it into many small pieces. However, it must not affect the existence and development of the entire international movement. Don't take the lead in rectifying the socialist camp like later generations, making the United States a monopoly and making the world out of balance.
Only by finally disintegrating the Soviet Union and depriving it of a force that can contend with China can we settle China's vicious neighbor for hundreds of years once and for all, and can we prevent China from "occupying and developing the vast Far East" and preventing it from being recaptured by the Soviet Union. The vast Far East region has truly become the eternal country of Chinese socialism.
Is this possible?
In order to seize the supreme power of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev, in the face of the savior of the Soviet people, launched the so-called erroneous criticism of Stalin's Great Purge and knocked Stalin off the "altar" and knocked him to the ground. and demonize Stalin and the Great Purge launched by Stalin to the greatest extent. Although it won the favor of some so-called "persecuted people" at that time. But this movement also fundamentally shook the foundations of socialism in the Soviet Union. The legitimacy of the institutions and ideologies that had been stereotyped in the Soviet state and in the countries of Eastern Europe during the Stalin era was overthrown by Khrushchev with the anti-Stalin movement.
The anti-Stalin campaign caused the people of the USSR and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe to lose their faith and caused confusion in the ideological sphere. The signs of upheaval in Eastern Europe and even in the Soviet Union itself became more and more apparent. The complete repudiation of Stalin also caused a serious rift in the entire socialist camp, and the development of events in Eastern Europe was even more beyond the scope of Khrushchev's imagination and control. As a result, Khrushchev later had to alleviate the turbulent situation at home and abroad caused by the repudiation of Stalin. He openly called Stalin a great Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary, and we still have to insist on what Stalin was right, etc. The Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU also issued a resolution stressing that criticism of Stalin's mistakes should not lead to the negation of the Soviet socialist system and the leadership of the Party. It was demanded to maintain and strengthen the ideological unity of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp. But can the rift that has already formed be repaired in this way?
It cannot be denied that the Soviet Union has made tremendous achievements in industrialization, and from 1928 to 1937, it took only 10 years for the Soviet Union's total industrial output value to rank first in Europe and second in the world. At the same time, however, it should also be noted that the one-sided emphasis on industrial construction centered on heavy industry has also caused some problems and brought about some negative impacts: First, it has led to the backwardness of agriculture and light industry. Due to the neglect of the coordinated development between agriculture and light industry, agriculture and light industry have lagged behind for a long time, which has caused heavy industry to develop ahead of time to a certain extent and then be restricted. Second, because the development of heavy industry is based on the expropriation of agriculture and light industry, the accumulation of agriculture and light industry is too small, so that the living standards of the masses cannot be improved for a long time, and agriculture is even more in a mess.
National contradictions also emerged one after another in the Soviet Union. As a result of the long-term policy of national oppression and national colonization during the tsarist period, the seeds of hatred were planted in the depths of the psyche of non-Russian peoples. Although after the October Revolution in Russia, the right to self-determination was recognized for a time, which alleviated the national contradictions, the Soviet Union still adopted a policy of foreign expansionism, and from 1919 to 1944, it successively annexed the Khiva Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Tuva, and other countries and regions, and annexed large areas of land including Romanians, Finns, and other nationalities through foreign aggression and the threat of force. In the Soviet Union, nationalism was severely suppressed as the antithesis of the Soviets and socialism, the political, cultural, and economic elites of all nationalities were executed, and the language, culture, and national consciousness of all nationalities were destroyed.
During and after the Second World War, the situation became more and more serious, and in the face of the sudden invasion of the German [***] forces, the Soviet Union was devastated in the early stages of the war, suffering heavy casualties and defeat. At this time, the Soviet political axe adopted a very immoral minority policy, and their ideology led them to the conclusion that the minorities on Russian soil were likely to one day become the fifth column of German fascists.
The so-called fifth column of German fascism could become a potential enemy against the Soviet Union in the future. Therefore, the Soviet Union adopted a method of relocating these Soviet minorities from their places of origin to a special protected area that could be controlled by the Soviet authorities. It was with this imagination that they took precautionary measures against the Poles, Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, Kalmyks, Chechens, Ingush, Far Eastern Koreans, and other minorities in the Soviet Union, who were likely to become enemies of Russia at the time of the German invasion, and carried out brutal ethnic cleansing and ethnic migration. Imprison them, or kill them. In addition, during the Great Purge, the exile and massacre of party members, intellectuals, soldiers, and other innocent people of ethnic minorities, and some of them were even executed en masse, had a great ideological impact on the people of various ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union, and greatly deepened the discontent of all ethnic groups.
In addition to the inhumane treatment of national minorities, economically minorities did not benefit from the Soviet Union. The former Soviet republics of Eastern Europe did well before they were incorporated into the Soviet Union, especially Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, whose living standards were comparable to those of the Nordic countries, but after their annexation to the Soviet Union, their living standards plummeted due to a series of unfair treatment and shameless plundering by the Soviet Union.
Although the Soviet Union has repeatedly claimed that the Soviet Union has succeeded in solving the national question once and for all, in fact the Soviet Union has not been able to dissolve the bitter hatred of the Russian nation that has settled in the hearts of the national minorities, and these hatreds are like a volcano that is born, waiting for an opportunity to erupt.
And will this war between China and the Soviet Union become an opportunity for the Soviet republics to move towards the road of national reading? Will the war between China and the Soviet Union ignite the raging fire of the Soviet republics to move towards the state and liberate the nation?
The Far East Special Mission, headed by Deng Feng, believed that this was entirely possible. Through this war, actively create sufficient and necessary conditions for the disintegration of the USSR. Therefore, when formulating the "Bear Hunt" plan, the Far East Special Service Committee gave full consideration to how to start with these prisoners of war and make ideological and organizational preparations for the early disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Deng Feng, who came from later generations, knew that it was impossible for the future of socialism to be realized. Didn't the Soviet Union produce such people as Khrushchev and Gorbachev? No matter how great a person is, he can't guarantee that his sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren are all sincere and benevolent. Deng Feng They think that no matter what happens in the future. Now we will do our best to get rid of China, a bad neighbor. Completely collapse the Soviet Union, and leave a fairly comfortable international environment and a solid foundation for those imbecile descendants who may not be able to compete in the future, even if the loser can lose for a few more hours.
In the course of human history, there have been prisoners of war since there were wars.
From ancient tribal warfare, the two warring sides captured each other's prisoners of war, not all kinds of humiliation, mutilation, and killing. It is to be a slave and do hard labor.
Prisoners of war have become the most tragic group of people in war, and with the progress of human civilization, the fate of prisoners of war has gradually improved. Some were repatriated, some were released on the spot, and some were retained. In World War II, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union all detained prisoners of war to serve their own countries, so that the prisoners of war could not return to their hometowns for a long time. There are many PLA officers and men in the Chinese People's Liberation Army who are originally engaged in technical and medical work.
According to the head of the Central Economic and Trade Center, a veteran soldier who joined the Eighth Route Army in 1943 and served in the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division of the 38th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, said that there were almost 100,000 people in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Eighth Route Army, and the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and both the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army placed them on the logistics and support fronts. There is a comrade-in-arms association of the 38th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, about 10,000 people, several hundred people in the Tokyo area alone, and dozens of people in the 335th Regiment. He did not regard himself as an outsider, saying: After our army entered the northeast, it felt extremely lacking in some specialized personnel, so he recruited a group of technical personnel to help work in the arsenal, special forces, air units, and armored brigades, and also a group of military experts to conduct tactical guidance and training for the PLA, and to pass on the experience of fighting against the Kuomintang army to many newly formed PLA units
He finally said: On behalf of the comrades-in-arms of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in my country, I asked the headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to allow them to return to the old unit as veterans and comrades-in-arms of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. add this history to the military history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army; For the soldiers who participated in the War of Resistance and the War of Liberation, the monument was erected.
It is a very difficult task to make the enemies on the battlefield serve the interests of their own political groups and the country, and it is not easy to do this, especially if they are consciously willing to do so.
China's rehabilitation of prisoners of war should be said to have been very successful.
In this campaign against the Soviet Union, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has set up nearly 100 Soviet prisoner detention centers in various theaters and divisions, the full name of which is the "1st, 2nd, and 3rd Soviet Army Prisoner Detention Centers of the Political Department of the Far East Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
By the time the ceasefire agreement between the two sides came into effect, the Soviet prisoner of war camps owned by the Prisoner Management Office of the Political Department of the Far East Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army had received a total of 474,000 Soviet prisoners of war, including 29,400 wounded prisoners of war, and 29,482 died after being captured due to their injuries and ineffective medical treatment. Not counting the 76,000 prisoners of the officers and sailors of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, which were taken over by the Chinese Navy, including more than 13,000 wounded prisoners of war.
A total of 278 Soviet generals were captured in this Sino-Soviet war, and of course this does not include more than 100 "insurrectionary" generals such as Huapinovsky, the political commissar of the Red Banner Military District of the Far East of the Soviet Union, such as "loyal friends of the Chinese people and great fighters of the proletarian International".
According to the armistice agreement, within 60 days of the entry into force of the armistice agreement, the Chinese and Soviet sides should hand over to each other through a third-party monitoring agency the total number of prisoners of war in their custody, including a list of names, ages, surnames, former units, ranks, and detention numbers or military numbers. All prisoners of war who insist on repatriation will be repatriated directly in batches to the side to which they belonged at the time of capture.
The Chinese side provided the Soviet side with 1,000 volumes, beautifully printed, each with 400 pages of photographs, names, ages, surnames, lists of Soviet prisoners, their former units, ranks, and detention numbers, as well as computerized printouts of cases of wounded prisoners of war.
The Soviet army captured a total of 4,892 prisoners of war of the Chinese [***] team, including 3,286 wounded, of which the highest rank was a deputy division commander of the 7th Agricultural Division of the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region and a reserve colonel officer. The Soviets, apparently less prepared than the Chinese, provided only a handwritten 125-page list of names, ages, surnames, former units, ranks, and detention numbers.
This made the little brothers of the "third-party supervisory body" of the newly arrived socialist countries see that the Soviet Union was really too shabby.
Then, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, the two sides "must give priority to the repatriation of sick and wounded prisoners of war who insist on repatriation." to the extent possible, to be repatriated by captured medical personnel and sick and wounded prisoners of war at the same time, in order to provide medical treatment and care on the way". Within the first month of the ceasefire, China directly repatriated more than 170,000 seriously wounded Soviet prisoners of war, excluding prisoners of war from the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The Soviets also repatriated all 3,286 wounded Chinese prisoners of war.
The main components of Soviet prisoners of war were the personnel of the Trans-Baikal Military District, the Red Banner Military District of the Far East, the border guards of the Border Service of the KGB of the USSR, the Air Force, the Air Defense Force, the Rocket Forces, military academies and military institutions of the Soviet Army in the Far East. Its ethnic composition is 40% of the three main ethnic groups of the Soviet Union: Russia, Belarus, and Georgia, and the rest are ethnic minorities such as Kazakhstan, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Volga Germans, Kalmyks, Chechens, Ingush, and the chaotic Asians in the Far East.
