Chapter 146: The Indian Question

In the second half of 1951, entrusted by the Central Army, the Logistics Department of the First Group Army of the Air Force, in accordance with the guidelines for the construction of armed equipment in the "Confidential Report on Chinese Affairs" and with reference to the equipment standards of our army at the beginning of the century in later generations, compiled the "Five-Year National Defense Development Outline" in accordance with the principle that as long as it can be produced now or can be produced through hard work, and can be as advanced as possible, it will gradually replace the existing equipment of the People's Liberation Army. They handed over this equipment plan for our army's conventional weapons, together with drawings, production and assembly processes, related data, and some real samples, to the aviation, shipbuilding, ordnance, and other industrial departments, and sent a large number of technical personnel to participate in organizing the design and production. They made full use of the achievements of military scientific research in later generations, strengthened exchanges with engineers and technicians of various military departments and departments, and promoted the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in later generations in this era. Together with the cadres and workers of the vast number of military industrial enterprises, they have overcome numerous difficulties, while building, producing, and equipping the troops, and at the same time training and maintenance personnel for the troops. As soon as possible, we should transform the achievements of the military industry of later generations into the combat effectiveness of our army now. The production of advanced military products has greatly promoted the continuous improvement of China's industrial system, greatly promoted the transformation of military technology to civilian use, and formed a good surname cycle in which the military and the people promote each other.

After several years of hard work, the Type 81 automatic rifle imitating the Type 51 automatic rifle, the Type 79 sniper rifle imitating the Type 51, the Type 40 bazooka imitating the Type 51 bazooka, and the Type 51 14,5 mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun imitating the QJG02 anti-aircraft machine gun. Imitation of the Type 82 handleless grenade of the later 51-51. Imitation of the Type 99 "Destroyer" tank. The "Assaulter" wheeled armored vehicle imitating the Type 92 wheeled armored vehicle of our army in later generations, the "Hunter" helicopter gunship imitating the Zhiwu 10 in later generations, and the 122 mm "Tempest" 40-tube rocket launcher imitating the Type 90 in later generations. It has successively equipped various units of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and greatly improved the level of modern equipment of the troops.

The "Five-Year Development Program of our PLA" proposes that we should focus on the development of medium- and short-range missiles and electronic information technology. The army uses helicopter gunships and tanks as the main assault force of our army; The Navy takes submarines as its main attack force, and the Air Force has the technical characteristics of good flight ability, lightness, flexibility, low cost, high efficiency, and simple use and maintenance, with the J-7G as the main model, the H-6 as the main model, and the Y-9 aircraft as the main aircraft, thus increasing the rapid reaction capability of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

By 1956, 60 percent of the 2.5 million PLA had completed the task of replacing new equipment. 600,000 men in 6 armies were already armed: 1,200 "Destroyer" tanks. 1000 "Raider" wheeled armored vehicles, more than 30000 vehicles of various kinds. 6 regiments of army aviation, 300 "Hunter" helicopter gunships.

The PLA Air Force has been equipped with 800 "Falcon" Jian-1 fighters imitating the J-7G model, 200 "Saboteur" bombers imitating the H-6 type, and 100 large "air train" transport planes imitating the 9 transport planes.

The Navy has been equipped with 10 submarines imitating the Type 636 diesel engine of the "Terminator-Kilo" Kilo class" developed by the Russian Rubin Central Design Bureau. 10 missile destroyers. 10 frigates. There are 30 logistics support ships of various kinds.

Although there are still some unsatisfactory points in these weapons, which need to be improved and enhanced, with the continuous improvement of China's industrial base and the improvement of the technological level, the emergence of new materials will be gradually improved.

Along with the continuous improvement of the modernization level of our army, batches of new-type military personnel who have undergone professional training at military academies at all levels, such as the National Defense University, the Information Engineering University, the Naval Engineering University, the Air Force Engineering University, and the Logistics Support University, have also taken up military leadership posts at all levels. The units at all levels of the PLA that have been streamlined are absolutely elite and strong generals, and they have always placed military training on a strategic level, proceeding from actual combat and training troops in a difficult and strict manner. On the basis of continuing to carry forward the glorious traditions of our army, a complete set of relatively complete training systems has been formed. The training office of the base went deep into all branches of the armed forces and, in light of the current personnel and equipment of our army, formulated the "Campaign Outline" and "Combat Regulations" of the People's Liberation Army in this era with reference to the "Campaign Outline" and "Combat Regulations" of our army in later generations and the General Staff Department. Each major theater organizes a joint military exercise of all arms of the armed forces once a year to enhance the understanding of the vast number of commanders and fighters in modern warfare, and to discover and solve problems in a timely manner through the exercise. During training and exercises, these battle-hardened commanders and fighters invented many new tactics to maximize the effectiveness of their weapons. The overall quality of our army's commanders and fighters and the combat capability under modern conditions have been comprehensively enhanced.

Over the past seven years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, through the unremitting efforts of the whole party, the whole army, and the people of the whole country, our army has initially achieved modernization. Although the quantity is not much, its quality is enough to dominate the world in this era. We finally have the capital to compete with Su Mei.

No dynasty has ever paid such attention to the Tibetan province as the Chinese people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the supreme leader proposed to the People's Liberation Army that "it is better to enter Tibet sooner rather than later." Although the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began with the warp, the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) operation into Tibet was not delayed, and in the Battle of Qamdo, the main force of the Tibetan army that resisted the central government's political axe and blocked the PLA's entry into Tibet was annihilated. Under the dual pressure of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) under the dual pressure of military strikes and political struggles, the local government of Tibet Province reached a 17 agreement with the Central Government Axe on the peaceful liberation of Tibet Province in May 1951, officially recognizing the return of Tibet Province to the embrace of the big family of the motherland. Subsequently, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered Tibet Province in a peaceful manner, and officially entered Lhasa in October 1951, accepting the defense mission of Tibet Province. The local government of Tibetan Province continues to exercise administrative powers.

In February 1951, before the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was stationed in the hinterland of Tibetan Province, the Indian Army continued to advance northward from the direction of Derangzong on the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border, occupied Tawang, an important town south of the "McMahon Line", and expelled the local administration of Tibetan Province in the area. The Tibetan provincial government protested against this at the time, but the Indian government completely ignored it, but the Tibetan provincial government did not report the situation to the central people's government.

At that time, the central authorities did not know much about these conditions on the Sino-Indian border. Although Deng Feng had talked about the Sino-Indian border issue when he first met the supreme leader, he was in a hurry to return to the country and participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the discussion was not very detailed. The central government is also making all-out efforts to plan for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it is beyond the reach of the Sino-Indian border, which has high mountains, long roads, and deep pits. In October 1951, Deng Feng took advantage of the National Day ceremony to meet with the supreme leader again, and this time he talked in detail about the Sino-Indian border and the future Sino-Indian relations: After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nehru prevented the representatives of the Tibetan provincial authorities from going to Yanjing to discuss the issue of peaceful liberation; When the Chinese People's Liberation Army marched into Tibet Province, India continued to provide arms to the local armed forces in Tibet Province, encouraging the local political axes in Tibet Province to prevent the People's Liberation Army from entering Tibet; On February 2 of this year, India sent troops to occupy the Tawang area, which had occupied the south of the "McMahon Line" and had been under the jurisdiction of the local government of Tibetan Province. Now the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the Taiwan issue have been resolved. The resolution of the border issue should be included in the agenda. India's territorial ambitions must be nipped in the bud, otherwise there will be endless troubles. The supreme chief did not know where the so-called "McMahon Line" was. It wasn't until Deng Feng pulled up the 120,000-square-kilometer map that was color-coded with the disputed 120,000 square kilometers of the two sides that the supreme chief understood the so-called "McMahon Line" and saw the difference. Deng Feng pointed to the map on the computer and said: "The entire Sino-Indian border is about 1,700 kilometers long, divided into three sections: eastern, central and western. There are disputed territories on every stretch of border. He moved the electronic map to the Sino-Indian border and said, "The eastern sector: 90,000 square kilometers of disputed territory, all occupied by India. The future Line of Actual Control between China and India will be the illegal "McMahon Line". India later adopted it as its official, legal border and declared the formation of "Arunachal Pradesh" in 1987, along with a large number of migrants to the region. There are twice as many Indians settled there as there is the population of all of Tibet combined. Moving the map to the middle of the Sino-Indian border, he said, "In the middle section, the disputed territory is 2,100 square kilometers, divided into four places, and then all of them were occupied by India." Moving the map to the western section of the Sino-Indian border, he said, "In the western sector alone, the disputed territory is 33,000 square kilometers, mainly in China's Aksai Chin region." India occupies one part of Barigas, and the rest is in Chinese hands. In the above three paragraphs, India occupies a total of 92,000 square kilometers of China's territory, equivalent to one Zhejiang Province and two and a half Taiwan Provinces, and nearly one-hundredth of China's total territory. Such a large-scale territorial dispute is the largest case in the international community of one country's illegal occupation of another country's territory. ”

After listening to Deng Feng's introduction with a serious expression, the supreme leader said: India's invasion of China's territory is a matter of China's territorial sovereignty, and we will never give in! We have a reason to fight. But let's put it on for now, we can't rush it. First, we are not strong enough to attack from all sides. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has just entered Tibet Province with less than 10,000 troops, roads have not been built, airfields have not yet been built, and food for troops entering Tibet still needs to be transshipped through India, so it cannot advance to most border areas. Second, we should strive for a correct international understanding of the rights and wrongs of the Sino-Indian border struggle and win the sympathy and support of the majority of the people. Don't give the impression of belligerence.

After listening to the chairman's thoughts, Deng Feng continued: "Chairman, I have a plan to completely solve the Indian problem. He looked at the supreme chief and said, "After the complete collapse of the international [***] movement in later generations, there are still many [***] organizations in Nepal and India that firmly believe in the MZD ideology, and they hold high your banner and take the MZD ideology as the guiding ideology of the party. Nepalese Maoists once occupied most of the country and took power in the general election, but they were born at the wrong time and did not receive any outside support, even if it was moral support, and were later listed as a terrorist organization by the US political axe. Even our political axe is anxious to clear up its involvement, and the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not wait to say at a regular press conference, 'The [***] forces in Nepal have usurped the name of the great leader of the Chinese people." China has never had any relationship with it, nor has there been any organization or group in China that has any connection with it. The PKI (Marxist-Leninist) is also holding on to your ideas and has also gained local power in several Indian states. In the light of these circumstances in the future, I think that we should now strengthen the ties of South Asia, cultivate a pro-Chinese force among them, establish a state or countries with socialist regimes north of the Ganges, disintegrate India, and permanently eliminate the hidden danger of our country from the western frontier. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to our country, our base has sent people to secretly work in this area. ”

"Heh, heh, he" The supreme chief smiled happily, he nodded at Deng Feng with his right hand and said: "It is worthy of being a god, this idea of yours is very creative." Then he recalled with a few treasures: "Speaking of India, [***] and our party really have some origins. In 1927, an Indian named Roy was sent to China by the Executive Committee of the Comintern to direct the work. However, when this Indian arrived in China, he leaked the Comintern's "May Directive" on the Chinese revolution to Wang Ching-wei, and he directly led to the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. At that time, Stalin did not immediately punish Roy because of the needs of the party struggle, and it was not until around 1930 that Roy, an Indian, was expelled from the Comintern. The supreme leader paused for a moment to think for a moment and then said: "We, the Chinese, have always advocated the principle that in inter-party exchanges, fraternal parties, no matter how big or small, should be completely equal, respect each other, and not interfere in each other's internal affairs. It is the duty of our proletarian internationalists to support fraternal parties and overthrow the bourgeois reactionary rule of our own countries

Deng Feng knew that the end of the First World War and the victory of the October Revolution in Russia were the gestation period of the international communist movement in the whole world, and it was also the time when the development of capitalism and the rise of the workers' movement in India provided the material basis and social soil for the spread of socialism and the ideological trend in India. Some of these people are outside India and some are inside India. The Roy mentioned by the Supreme Chief was once a member of the secret revolutionary organization in Bangladesh, and later fled to Mexico for various reasons, joined the Mexican Socialist Party, and founded Mexico with [***] members of the party. In 1920, Roy attended the Second Congress of the Comintern and was appointed one of the main heads of the Central Asia Bureau of the Comintern. On October 17 of the same year, he founded the Indian diaspora in Tashkent, the capital of the Uzbek Union Republic of the Soviet Union, and began to propagate and introduce Marxism to India through the diaspora, and expounded the situation and tasks of the Indian national struggle.
