Chapter 181: Referendum

The snow in the Himalayas, year after year, is still so white; The Brahmaputra River is like a silver dragon, still so clear, flowing through the ice peaks of the snow-capped mountains, and the ice liquid jade oars from west to east give birth to the flowers and grass on both sides.

When we stand on the roof of this world and take a bird's-eye view of this small and ever-changing world, we will see the long scroll of the history of China's 5,000-year civilization, and the great new China has engraved a strong stroke on it, making the snow on the Himalayas whiter. Make the water of the Brahmaputra River clearer.

On June 1, 1956, a referendum was held on the question of the ownership of this land and the people living on it in seven states tentatively called Northeast India, with more than 38 million people of more than 200 nationalities living there.

At the request of the People's Referendum Committee in the region, more than 200 national supervisory representatives led by the UN Under-Secretary-General entered the referendum stations at or above the county level to monitor and witness the free exercise of their sacred rights by the people here. More than 300 journalists from major media outlets around the world also came to record this most just moment in history.

In makeshift referendum stations at various levels, two ballot boxes 10 metres apart are plastered with Chinese and Indian flags. Behind China's ballot boxes there was a huge five-star red flag, and the people who participated in the referendum were as happy as a festival, and many people came to the polling station happily with a small five-star red flag in their hands. There are also many people with Chinese flags painted on their foreheads. Constantly shouting: "China! China! We want to be Chinese! China! China! We want to be Chinese! ”

The people who participated in the referendum stood in a very orderly row and put ballot papers with their names, surnames, ages and home addresses into the ballot box. In front of the ballot box in China, the voting line is not in sight, and in India, there is no one in sight in front of the ballot box for half a day. Each polling station is equipped with video equipment provided by China, which objectively records the entire voting process, and records the entire voting and counting process.

Journalists from all over the world were active around the polling stations, recording the scene and conducting live interviews.

"Hello sir! I'm David Waykaul, a reporter from the Washington Post, and I'd like to delay you for a few minutes to answer me a few questions, okay? The Washington Post reporter stopped a middle-aged intellectual who had just walked out of the polling station at Silonglao University.

"No problem, please," the middle-aged man said cooperatively.

"You don't mind if I ask you about your profession," David Warykaul asked politely.

"Don't mind, Professor, Department of Physics, Silonglao University, Ivah Singh"

"Thank you, Professor Iver Singh," David Waykaul then asked his first question, "Do you vote for China or India?" ”

Ivan Singer looked at the Washington Post reporter and said, "I'm surprised that you ask such a question, and there is no doubt that any person in their right nerve would choose China." ”

"Why?" David Warykaul then went further into the interview.

"No, you can do a simple comparison of the development data of China and India in 1949 and 1956," Eva Singh replied with some disdain.

David Waykaul then asked, "Is this the only reason you voted for China?" ”

Ivan Singer asked rhetorically, "Isn't that enough?" ", tight; Then he said, "If you feel that this is not enough, then you can look at China today, no!" It should be said that in just a few years, China has not only left India far behind, but has also left the United States and the Soviet Union far behind in some fields, such as semiconductors, nuclear physics, aerospace science and technology, and so on. ”

"I just noticed that you are not Chinese in the first person you said in the first person, 'We China,' strictly speaking," the Washington Post reporter said with a somewhat unbalanced mentality.

"Nope! From the moment I cast that sacred vote in my hand, my heart belongs to China" Iver Singh looked at the Chinese watch on his wrist and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Reporter, I still have class, if there is a chance, let's talk again at another time, bye-bye"

David Huaykaul turned around and grabbed the two college students who were holding a small five-star red flag, each holding a small five-star red flag, and were discussing something enthusiastically while walking.

"Hi, I'm a reporter from the Washington Post, you don't mind if I interview you, do you? You don't have to ask if you must vote for China," David Warykaul mastered his interview.

The two college students stopped, and the male classmate said, "Correct, Mr. Reporter, do you know Chinese?" If you will, I'm happy to answer your questions in Chinese."

David Waykaul shook his head regretfully and said, "Unfortunately, I won't, but I really should learn Chinese." ”

"Heh, heh, heh" The female classmate standing aside let out a string of crisp laughter and said, "Then you are not a very qualified reporter, you can't even know the most beautiful, scientific, and accurate language in the world, what qualifications do you have to be a reporter." ”

"Ha, ha, that's true, it looks like I'm going to have to quit my job as a journalist and go to a Chinese language school when I go back." David quipped, "But I can't do that until I'm done with this interview." Ladies and gentlemen, could you please tell us why you voted for China? ”

"It's very simple, the people of all ethnic groups in our northeast are originally of Chinese descent, look at our skin color, see that our appearance is exactly the same as the Chinese, that is like those old blacks in India," the male student replied proudly.

The female classmate also rushed to say: "Not only that, but our culture is also very similar, which fully proves that our bloodline is pure Chinese blood and also inherits the brilliant culture of our Chinese ancestors." ”

"Yes, the teacher from Yanjing said that after DNA analysis, our DNA is exactly the same as the DNA of the Chinese" The male student found the most convincing scientific basis. ”

"DNA, what is DNA?" The well-informed David was a bit silly. Although in 1953, two young scientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom discovered that DNA is a double helix structure composed of two nucleotide chains, but it was not until the mid-80s that humans invented DNA genetic fingerprinting technology, how can this make David not stupid.

"Dan doesn't understand, it's really uneducated." The male classmate said proudly: "DNA is the abbreviation of English deoxyribonucleicacid, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the main chemical component of chromosomes, and is also a genetic component, also known as genetic particles. It seems that the United States is too backward for such a big journalist to not even understand DNA. ”

At the referendum station at the Guwahati railway station, Dunlop, a British reporter from the British Times, was also interviewing a long-distance truck driver who had just finished casting his vote.

"Sir, you must have been to many places, and you must know a lot about the crimes committed by the Chinese invading army against India. Can you tell us about that? The British Times reporter was clearly politically inclined and asked questions with a strongly misleading surname.

"Aggression? What aggression? I don't understand, if you want me to see that this is purely India idle, looking for a beating. Since 1954 I have been delivering supplies to the Indian 4th Division to Tawang, which has always been a place for the Chinese, as you British know. What kind of country is China now. Can India provoke it? You said that you are not looking for a fight. ”

"In any case, it is an indisputable fact that China's 100,000 troops invaded India, causing great harm to the Indian people."

The driver lowered his right foot from the footrest of the car, turned to the British Times reporter and pointed his finger at Dunlop and said, "Do you mean Nehru by the people of India?" Harm? You look at my new car made in China, this is the Chinese [***] team added my car to the damage, paid to me, a top of my original British-made truck of 2,5 tons 4. If this is also an invasion, it is also an injury, and I hope that China will invade the whole world and harm the people of the world. ”

Then he turned and climbed into the cab, closed the door, rolled down the window, and said loudly to the British Times reporter who was still standing under the car: "Hey! British, get out of here! Today you are very lucky to have met a good-natured person like me, otherwise if you talk like this, you will have to beat you all over the ground when you meet others. ”

The results of the referendums on the ownership of seven states in northeastern India were released on the second day. The UN Under-Secretary-General announced at a press conference attended by journalists from various countries that the total population of the seven northeastern states of India is 38.28 million, and the effective population over the age of 16 participating in the referendum is 23.12 million, the actual number of people participating in the referendum is 21.26 million, and the number of votes in favor of belonging to China is 20.54 million. accounted for 96,61%, and the number of votes in favor of staying in India was 720,000, which is only 3,39%.

As a result, more than 38 million people of more than 200 nationalities living here, without any interference from outside forces, under fair, just and open conditions, everyone who participated in the referendum chose the region according to their own wishes and completely independently. The results of the referendum are real and valid.

According to UN Resolution 1370A, there is no doubt that this place should belong to China, and the People's Republic of China will exercise national sovereignty over it 15 days after the publication of the statistical results of the referendum, that is, at 00:00 on June 16, 1965. If any country disagrees with the result of the referendum, it can submit a reconsideration to the UN Security Council within 15 days, and the reconsideration period will not affect China's exercise of sovereignty here.

On the same day, the world's major media reported on the statistics and speeches announced by the UN Under-Secretary-General at the press conference, as well as reports related to this sensational event in the world, but there were exceptions for the Soviet Pravda to publish a message of less than 100 words in the international edition.

Washington Post reporter David Warykaul published a report on "The Triumph of China's Science and Technology" at the head of the Washington Post: China, which is rising, has defeated India with its absolute power. On the battlefield, the weapons used by India and China are completely different from each other, leaving India with only the share of being beaten. The battle losses between the two sides were nearly 100 to 1

China's advanced science and technology have also captured the hearts of the vast majority of Indians, and among the Indian intellectuals I interviewed, they all expressed their sincere approval of China's science and technology, and they admired China's semiconductor technology, nuclear physics technology, aerospace technology, and life science technology. They feel infinitely proud to be Chinese.

The British Times also published an article by Indian correspondent Dunlop entitled "Is It the Will of the People? Or aggression? In the name of countering the Indian army's invasion of southern Tibet, China relied on a powerful army to sweep through the Ganges Valley of India in a whirlwind and occupy India's capital, New Delhi, and the northeast. But then China handed over these areas they occupied to its puppet force India [***], and decorated their naked aggression into a civil war in India, which is indeed a very bright hand. They have made no secret of their territorial ambitions in the north-east of India, but the means they have used have been taken by surprise to the whole world, and this time the Scholar regime has held high the banner of the Ming Boil, and has held a referendum in the occupied area, thus legitimizing their occupation completely. A referendum on the ownership of seven northeastern states in India, with the people of the country choosing for themselves, may seem fair, but in reality it is grossly unfair to India. There is a huge gap between China and India in political, economic, military, diplomatic and other aspects. What will be the result of the referendum in the face of such a gap? There is no suspense that it belongs to China

The French newspaper Le Monde published "The Expansion of a More Civilization", the speed of China's development shocked the world, the result of this referendum shows the huge gap between the development of China and India, this region belongs to China is undoubtedly a good thing for this region and its people, it is an advanced culture to replace backward culture when the expansion of a more advanced civilized society. It is hoped that India will have a clear understanding of the situation of international development, get out of its dream of being an unrealistic big country, accept reality, improve its relations with China, and enjoy the benefits that China's high-speed economic development has brought to the world.
