Chapter 215: The Choice of China and the Soviet Union
Marshal Zhukov's introduction of this Chinese People's Liberation Army's "heart-to-heart operation or decapitation operation" tactic made these [***] powerful people in the Kremlin feel a little frightened. These members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU began to discuss below.
"Hey, gpski, do you say that the Chinese are a little damaged in this move, how can they still play like this, and they don't play cards according to common sense."
"Isn't it? In the final analysis, it is still the style of guerrilla warfare, and the peasants are the peasants, and he will not know how to play in a regular way, but will only engage in this set of petty actions of stealing chickens and touching dogs. GPSKY said with disdain.
"GPSKY, you are not right to say this, tactics are in the service of strategy, it is not important what tactics are used, what matters is the effect. Do you know? When they liberated Taiwan, they took advantage of the fact that the decision-making organs of the Kuomintang were about to hold a meeting and took the head of the Kuomintang party, government, and army, and if it were not for Chiang Kai-shek, who happened to be on the edge of the air-raid shelter, they would have been finished at that time. Said an SB Rovitch sitting next to him.
"This trick of the Chinese is really vicious! It's amazing! In New Delhi the year before last, just after the Sino-Indian border had been opened, China went to two planes and bombed the Indian Ministry of Defense building, which was preparing for a national defense meeting. ”
After a pause, he analyzed the situation of the Chinese and Soviet armies and the price the Soviet Union would pay in the event of a war from the angles of strategy, tactics, personnel, and equipment, and comprehensively and systematically demonstrated the possible trend and final outcome of the war.
In the entire history of the world, there is no country that is more greedy than the polar bear of Russia. As the CPSU called "a difficult little man." "As it says," when it comes to bullying other countries, the superpower labeled as socialism is even more vicious. "The Stalinist hawks within the Central Committee of the CPSU are a gang of such greedy polar bears, who have completely inherited the ferocity of Tsarist Russia and Stalin, and will not give up the territories they and their predecessors have seized until death. They knew very well that the Sino-Soviet war could expose the Soviet Union to the most serious military conflict and the heaviest blow since the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, after thinking about it, I feel that nuclear weapons should still be added to this Sino-Soviet game. They argued that "China will not have many nuclear warheads, and even if it has intercontinental missiles, they will not be very numerous, and it is unlikely that it will be able to hit the European part of the Soviet Union, and the use of short- and medium-range nuclear weapons will not provoke China to launch a large-scale nuclear retaliation against the Soviet Union in a conflict confined to the border between the two countries." Their intention is to secretly deploy nuclear missiles in the Far East, especially in the Twin Cities and Vladivostok regions. Even if China discovers and takes measures to destroy them, it is not afraid, as long as 1/10 of the missiles remain, it can deal a heavy blow to China. They are aimed at the urban agglomeration around Shenyang, and if launched, millions of Chinese will be killed within minutes, and the industrial science and technology center centered on Shenyang can be destroyed. They concluded that no matter how much China dared to fight and was not afraid of death, it would feel the tremendous pressure of nuclear war. In order to seek reconciliation with the Soviet Union and abandon its territorial ambitions against the Soviet Union, in order to achieve the goal of nuclear blackmail.
Some centrist members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU seemed to breathe a bad breath. I also think this method can be tried. However, they seem to have forgotten the exact surname of their hypothetical premise. Always underestimate China's power.
In the face of fierce arguments between the two sides, Khrushchev did not know what to do for a while.
After three days of discussions, the presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU gathered the opinions of all sides and finally made a choice: On the one hand, it is necessary to actively seek the diplomatic support of various countries and resolve the Sino-Soviet border issue through negotiations, and at the same time strengthen the military posture of the Soviet Union in the Asian region and secretly deploy nuclear missiles in the Far East in order to increase the intensity of the negotiations. During this period, if the Chinese [***] team enters the territory of the Soviet Union, it must make representations to the other side in advance, and if the negotiations are ineffective, it can carry out a limited counterattack, but absolutely do not enter the territory of China, so as not to create an excuse for China to so-called "counterattack". The Outer Mongolian and Tuvan People's Republics will be on the alert and the problems in these two places will be properly resolved through negotiations. On this point, all the participants understood that there was anything to talk about in these two places, and I am afraid that they would not dare to think of it if they came back now, but the words must be said and the articles must be done, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the Soviet people.
In Ulaanbaatar, China's Far Eastern Province, Chinese Defense Minister Marshal Peng Dehuai, who came to the Far Eastern Province to offer condolences, chatted with Deng Feng in the headquarters of the Far East Corps. Mr. Peng was rarely so happy, and said to Deng Feng with a smile: "You kid, this time you are bold and reckless, and you are good at making claims, and you have taken the Tangnu Wulianghai area by beating rabbits." Ha, ha, ha, well received! But let me tell you, you are the only one in the whole army who dares to do this, you have to pay attention, don't make an example. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, I said Mr. Peng, don't say that," Deng Feng pretended to be serious and said, "I sent a telegram to the Central Committee." ”
"Forget it! The central authorities only learned that you had sent troops to Tuva after receiving a phone call from Wang Huzi of the Xinjiang Provincial Construction Corps, who said that you wanted him to send a reclamation division and local cadres to take over the Tangnu Ulianghai area. Peng Dehuai put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Do you know? At that time, everyone sweated for you kid, but I didn't expect the chairman to be really tolerant of you, and he said to Zhou En, who went to report, 'Give him the autonomy of the Far East commander, he is on the front line and understands the situation better than us. Immediately inform Wang Huzi and ask him to take people in person, and do as the gods say. It was only on the second day that you took full possession of the Kizil region, and then you sent a telegram explaining the situation. ”
"Boss, I'm also worried about the central government. Territory is sometimes like this, take advantage of the opportunity, have the ability to occupy it, and whoever wants to ask for it again, it will be difficult. Deng Feng poured water for Mr. Peng and said: "There are some things that you report, and everyone is embarrassed and difficult to deal with." Something like Tangnu Ulianghai, reporting to the central government is a big deal, thinking about it here, thinking about it, studying it, and when there are results, the cucumber vegetables are cold. I'm taking the opportunity to take it up now, if there's really any trouble, the central government can handle it, at most it's over, and it's not a big deal. ”
"Well," Mr. Peng nodded and said, "You're right." This time, we were well prepared for the operation against Outer Mongolia, and our Shenyang Military Region, Yanjing Military Region, and Xinjiang Provincial Military Region all moved, but the result was a failure, and the attitude of the Soviet Union has always been very restrained, why are they so honest? There will be some conspiracy. ”
Deng Feng looked at the thoughtful General Peng and said: "They can have conspiracies, but no matter what the conspiracy, they have to move, and it is useless not to use any scheme." Our satellites are constantly monitoring the entire territory of the Soviet Union, and every move of their troops is under our supervision. ”
"Well, that's right," Peng Dehuai smiled and said, "Unilateral transparency, you can fight this battle as you want, and there is really nothing to worry about."
"As for saying that the Soviet Union is honest or not, he can't be honest," Deng Feng said with a wave of his right hand: "We can cut off the Soviet Union's Trans-Siberian Railway at any time." In the operations of the Soviet Front, the logistics mainly relied on the railway network, and the materials and soldiers were unloaded from the railway transportation terminal, and the automobile transport units of the front army's logistics were then transported to the assembly area of the combat division, and the strengthened logistics force of the combat division was basically able to guarantee the support task within the three-day high-intensity offensive operation. However, after three days, the front-line combat forces that have undergone high-intensity combat losses will be greatly reduced. Even though they have hundreds of thousands of troops in the Far East, what can they do? It's not that the Soviet Union is honest, it's that the situation is unsatisfactory, it's that the strength is not as good as the people, there is no way, it can only be like this. ”
"I'm a little worried that the Soviets will jump over the wall and start a nuclear war against us. Destroy the heavy industrial regions of our north. ”
Deng Feng looked at this old handsome man who was worried about the country and the people, and said very seriously: "Mr. Peng, it can't be said that there is no such possibility at all. If the Soviet Union dares to defy the condemnation of the world. To dare to attack China's strategic points would mean an all-out war against China. That's not a question of border territory. ”
"What will the result be? In the computer-deduced film that you made, I saw the destruction of the entire political, cultural, economic center and military-industrial center of the Soviet Union, can it really be like that? ”
"We don't have many nuclear weapons, but we have no problem destroying the political, cultural, economic and military-industrial centers of the Soviet Union, and the film is based on the calculation of 70% of the energy released when each nuclear bomb explodes. Khrushchev was really stupid enough to look for death, then it was up to them to go. The medium-range missile launch bases they now have in Asia do not reach our major heavy industrial areas at all, and besides, they have long been locked by our missiles, and it is a matter for the supreme leader to wipe them out if he wants to. If we find a new one that poses a threat to us, we will not be able to defeat him. Moreover, the border issue with the Soviet Union cannot be delayed for too long, because the longer it lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for us, and the greater the price we will have to pay. The central authorities should seize the time to digest the Outer Mongolia and Tuva regions. ”
"It will take two years to digest these two regions, and if this war with the Soviet Union really starts, it will be an unprecedented war. Be sure to be well prepared. Mr. Peng said.
"You have to seize the day," Deng Feng took a deep breath of cigarette and said: "Don't wait until the Soviet Union's intercontinental missiles have formed combat effectiveness, and then fight, it will be a little troublesome." In terms of long-range strike capabilities, the Soviet Union's current intercontinental missiles are still under development, and the Soviet P-7, which is called the SS-6 "baton" by NATO, is the world's first intercontinental missile besides ours. With a range of 8000 km, it will be able to enter service next year. Although the accuracy of the hit is extremely poor, it has no real combat value at all, and can only be changed to a launch vehicle. Their P-16, which is NATO's SS-7 codename "Saddle Worker", is the second type of intercontinental missile in the Soviet Union, successfully launched in 1961, with a range of 11,000 kilometers, it is a ground-launched missile, its quality is extremely bad, but in any case it is also a long-range missile. Wait until 1963 P-9, SS-8 codenamed "Black Antelope" two-stage liquid single-warhead ICBM. With a range of 11,000 km, it is a silo-launched missile, which has already formed a real combat effectiveness, although we can destroy their well-launched base, but it will be more difficult. The SS-9, which entered service in 1965, can pose a great threat to us. Therefore, if we do not resolve the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union when we are relatively safe in these seven years, it will be difficult to solve it in the future. ”
Peng Dehuai's face couldn't help but show a sense of pride, "Yes! Now is the best time to resolve the Sino-Soviet border, our country's comprehensive capability is not bad, we are much more advanced in conventional weapons than theirs, and the commanders at all levels of the armed forces have also been tempered by the flames of war and have all undergone professional study. When I see our current army, we all feel that this is an iron army, an invincible force. ”
At this time, Deng Feng said from the bottom of his heart: "What is more important is that we have a leader like the chairman who has the courage and wisdom of a great proletarian revolutionary, as well as the leadership of veterans like you who dare to fight and win. Our iron army will be invincible and invincible. Any enemy will be trampled under our feet. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, you are right when you say that the chairman has the courage and wisdom of a great proletarian revolutionary and that our army can defeat any enemy. Some comrades believe that China and the Soviet Union are both socialist countries, and that the friendship between the peoples of the two countries should be given priority and that they should no longer be entangled in the past in terms of reason and emotion. With regard to the more than 1.5 million square kilometers of territory occupied by Tsarist Russia in China's Far East and Central Asia 100 years ago, China should fully take into account that the Soviet people have settled in these territories for a century, and proceed from reality and not demand that the Soviet side return these territories. China has been fighting wars all these years, which has affected China's image in the international community, and China should cultivate and recuperate, develop production, and let the people live a stable life. There is no need to mention that the series of treaties that Tsarist Russia forced the Qing Dynasty to sign to occupy Chinese territory were unequal treaties. It is necessary to focus on better opening up the future relations between the two countries. ”
