Chapter 300: The Future of Singapore

"There are many people working in the 'base' in Shannan now, and they all know about the later history. Let's do it, only if it is good for the country and the nation. Don't be restricted by too many rules and regulations, I'll be the secretary when something goes wrong. Deng Feng finally said to everyone: "My personal overall idea of Singapore is to refer to the model of the Shannan Special Economic Zone. After Singapore's autonomy, a referendum was also held to annex him to China. You have time to discuss the specific aspects. My next step is mainly to plan the affairs of the Soviet Union, and a few of you here will look at it, take charge of the overall work, and Wu Di and Yingtian will focus on the construction of the Shannan Special Economic Zone and the Kolkata sea and air base."

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyi said to Lin Qingxiang: "We still know a little about your situation, and through your introduction just now, we have a further understanding of the situation in Singapore. On the issue of starting anew, building the Singapore Socialist Front and forming a leftist opposition party, my opinion is still on hold. ”

"Why postpone it?" Wang Xiaoyi asked himself: "I think it is beneficial for you to do this." Once you have formed the Singapore Socialist Front, you will have to quit the Singapore People's Action Party. Lee Kuan Yew: They can justifiably expel you from the Singapore People's Action Party (PAP) and the self-governing government formed by the Singapore People's Action Party, so that you will lose some of the power and interests that you have already acquired, and you will lose your right to know and speak in the decision-making process. The Singapore People's Action Party (PAP) and its self-governing government would become the dominant power of the bourgeoisie and colonial rulers, allowing them to implement their policies and political ideas without hindrance. Besides, it is also in your interest to protect yourselves. Think about it, isn't that so? ”

"Yes, yes" Lin Qingxiang and Chen Ping nodded in admiration.

"So, don't be in a hurry to organize any party now," Wang Xiaoyi then said to Lim Ching Siang, "but you must organize a faction within the PAP, establish a faction within the PAP centered on you and Fang Shuishuang, and use your broad mass base to build a grassroots organization of this faction below." Promote your political advocacy through organisations such as trade unions, women's federations, secondary school associations and more in Singapore. and Lee Kuan Yew and they competed for the masses, won the majority of the party, and fought for the right to speak in politics and the leadership inside and outside the party. Resisting Lee Kuan Yew from top to bottom is not in line with the political and economic claims of the interests of the Chinese. It is necessary to find a way to squeeze out the Malays, Indians and English-educated people led by Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee and Du Chin Cai from the ruling People's Action Party and the autonomous government at all levels. Reinvent the Singapore People's Action Party (PAP) with the political outlook of your members. ”

Wang Xiaoyi's strategy of fishing in troubled waters and fighting among others is a kind of wisdom of political struggle with Chinese characteristics. This is the difference between the political wisdom of the descendants of the high-ranking eunuchs and scholars who stayed in the Central Plains and the descendants of the illiterate peasants who had no land in Fujian, Guangdong, and other places.

"If so, would the British colonial authorities interfere?" Lin Qingxiang asked with some concern.

"Interference is definitely going to interfere." Wang Xiaoyi replied affirmatively: "All reactionaries are not willing to voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history, and take the initiative to give up their rule and vested interests. However, the present era is an era of great changes, and the country's desire to read, the nation's liberation, and the people's desire for revolution are the irresistible tide of history, and all reactionaries who move against the tide of history are bound to be drowned by the surging torrent of history. The British colonial rule has come to an end, and their interference is contrary to the trend of history and is unpopular. Their intervention will certainly further awaken the national consciousness of the Singaporean people and make them more aware of the nature of the British imperialist colonizers. If they dare to intervene in you by force on a large scale, we in China have the right to use all means to provide necessary and effective security protection for our nationals. ”

Lin Qingxiang couldn't believe his ears, and he confirmed again: "Chairman Wang, did you say 'use all means' to effectively protect the security of us, the overseas Chinese, including sending troops to protect us?" ”

"Of course, there is no doubt about that," Wang Xiaoyi replied firmly.

"Since the beginning of the 19th century, the British have been colonizing Singapore, and during these more than 100 years, they have brutally exploited and oppressed the Chinese, and the slightest dissatisfaction will be subject to bloody suppression." Lin Qingxiang couldn't control his feelings, knelt in front of Wang Xiaoyi, burst into tears, and said a heartfelt sentence after crying: "Motherland! Fatherland! Today, we have finally been recognized by the motherland, finally received the care of the motherland, and finally received the protection of the motherland."

At this time, the vast majority of overseas Chinese, some Chinese "rich people" who did not go abroad like later generations, even those "black" "wage earners" who washed dishes and dishes abroad, also consciously and voluntarily spent money. Most of them are forced to be sold abroad like piglets, and the humiliation and hardships of life are unimaginable, and generations of them have drifted overseas, suffering oppression and humiliation from the countries where they live. The most terrible thing is that these overseas Chinese are not recognized and protected by China's political axe at all, and when they have nothing to do, they only know how to draw some money from these people to serve their own interests. When something happens, there is no decision for these overseas travelers at all, and they hide far away without even saying a word.

Wang Xiaoyi could fully feel Lin Qingxiang's mood at this moment, he closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, pulled up Lin Qingxiang, who was kneeling on the ground and cried loudly, choked for a long time, and said firmly: "For more than 100 years, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese have suffered the same imperialist humiliation as the motherland that has suffered deeply. Today the Chinese people stood up. Gone are the days when the Chinese people, including overseas Chinese, were bullied by others. Your interests, your dignity, are an important part of China's core interests. We want every Chinese son and daughter overseas to know that behind you stands a powerful socialist motherland. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is the most reliable and solid backing for you, and whoever dares to wield a butcher's knife against the Chinese overseas again, then let them die without a place to be buried! ”

After Lin Qingxiang and Chen Ping's emotions calmed down, Wang Xiaoyi said: "In the next step, your main goal is to win over the Chinese in Singapore extensively, resolutely oppose the so-called Singapore reading power through the merger of Malaysia and Singapore, and ask the international community to hold a referendum on Singapore's future status, and demand that the Shannan Special Administrative Region be established in the form of Shannan Special Administrative Region to join the People's Republic of China and establish the People's Republic of China Singapore Special Administrative Region." If successful, you will then be the first Director of the Singapore SAR. ”

"That's great!" Lin Qingxiang almost jumped up with joy: "Chairman Wang, the members of our organization are too young and politically immature, and many times they are not the opponents of Lee Kuan Yew, Wu Qingrui, and Du Jincai, and our revolutionary passion is often exploited by them. I hope that the SACP will send us some cadres to guide our work. ”

"Secretary Chen, there's nothing wrong with this, right?" Wang Xiaoyi looked at Chen Ping, the general secretary of Malaya, who had been leading the people of Singapore and Malaysia in the anti-Japanese movement during the occupation of Southeast Asia, and asked.

"No problem, no problem, the level of cadres in the country is high, and there are many ways." Chen Ping continued: "I don't think it's better to divide the party members in Singapore and let them set up a branch or directly form a new Communist Party. It is directly under the leadership of the headquarters of the SACP, and the headquarters sends people to provide special guidance on their work. ”

Wang Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said: "Okay, Secretary Chen will first set up a branch of the CPM Singapore Reading Power as you said, which will be directly led by the headquarters of the SACP. Comrade Lin Qingxiang, your Singapore branch can first send 30-50 cadres to the Party School of the Yugoslav Communist League in the Shannan Special Economic Zone for training for a period of time, and we will send 30-50 cadres from various fields to assist you in your work. ”

Lin Qingxiang was extremely excited, shook Wang Xiaoyi's hand and said, "Chairman Wang, this is really good!" That's great! ”

"Chairman Xiaoyi, we in Malaysia [***], can we do the same?" Chen Ping asked.

"What are you doing" Wang Xiao didn't react for a while and asked.

"A referendum? Establish a special zone and join China. ”

"The situation in Malaysia is not the same as that in Singapore, and the proportion of Chinese is not as high as in Singapore," Wang Xiaoyi said to Chen Ping, "but you can also do this work in your occupied areas first, and you can also consider it when the conditions are ripe." ”

After Lin Qingxiang returned to Singapore, more than 30 former staff members of the Indian Special Commissary also entered Singapore as economic and trade personnel of China's Shannan Special Economic Zone Development Corporation and reporters of Shannan Special Economic Zone Newspaper. The arrival of these elites of the former Indian Secret Service Agents in China and the South Asian People's Republic has completely changed the contrast and political situation between Lee Kuan Yew, a politician who has been trained by the British colonialists, and Lim Ching-cheung, a group of Chinese middle school students in their early twenties, on the small political stage of Singapore.

Under the leadership and strong support of the South Asian Alliance, Lin Qingxiang, a representative of the grassroots class who were bent on pursuing light, gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle against the political forces of Lee Kuan Yew, which was supported by the British colonial rulers. The leftists led by Lim Ching Siong have further gained strength in the People's Action Party (PAP) in the election of the party's executive committee. Lim Ching Siang's votes surpassed Lee Kuan Yew's.

Lee Kuan Yew was horrified and said to his main assistant in the party, Wu Qingrui, a civil servant of the British colonial administration: "The [***] elements far surpass us in terms of mass support, and they have all the trump cards. Their power is immense, and they can take over the PAP anytime and anywhere. ”

"Yes," Wu Qingrui said slowly, "Although [***] is an illegal organization and its activities are limited to the underground, [***] still has huge influence in Singapore and Malaya. More than 70% of Singaporean workers are Chinese, and 65% of students are Mandarin speakers, and the Chinese are strong nationalists who are deeply influenced by China, and the Chinese accept [***] psychologically and emotionally. ”

Lee Kuan Yew continued: "There are also those Malays who do not trust [***], but the Malays have been oppressed by foreign forces for a long time, because they are the owners of this land, so their rebellion is the strongest, and the radical policies of the [***] people are just right for the Malays; This historical factor gives greater power to the [***] people. Since the invasion, the Malayans have led the Malayans to retreat into the mountains and jungles to carry out guerrilla warfare, becoming the mainstay of the resistance, making the image of the people charming. Therefore, the Malays are also receptive to [***]. ”

Wu Qingrui was silent for a while and said: "Our current power is limited to English speakers, the rich and powerful in the propertied class. If we can't control [***] these energetic and vigorous tigers; Young activists who are ready to sacrifice everything they have for a better society. We could be eaten by [***]".

What they did not expect was that in March 1961, a motion of no confidence in the Singapore self-government axe of Lee Kuan Yew as prime minister was put forward at the Singapore Parliament, led by Lee Siew Cho of the left faction of Lim Ching Siang, and Lee Kuan Yew's political clique did not retain his power despite all its efforts. The parliament finally passed the motion of no confidence by a majority vote, and Lim Ching Siong succeeded him as Prime Minister of Singapore's autonomous government, thus ending Lee Kuan Yew's hereditary family rule over Singapore.

However, this resolution of the Singapore Parliament was not endorsed by the British colonial authorities. They have a legal and valid surname that does not recognize the resolution. Lin Qingxiang, Fang Shuishuang, Li Shaozu and others asked the British Supreme Commissioner Schelke to explain this, but this typical British gentleman was very arrogantly refused.

On May 1, 1961, on International Labor Day, Lin Qingxiang faced the black pressure in the stadium of Jalan Bekha, Singapore, holding colorful flags and writing "Long live the People's Republic of China!" "Long live the Singapore SAR!" "China is our forever home!" With banners and slogans, the more than 100,000 Singaporeans who were crowded with cheers and cheers announced that the Singapore People's Self-Government Axe was officially established. Singapore was to be freed from British colonial rule, all British directives in Singapore would cease to take effect, and all British armed forces would withdraw from Singapore before 15 July 1961. The Government of Singapore has decided to hold a referendum on the accession of the People's Republic of Singapore to the People's Republic of Chinese.

After that, representatives of the Singapore Trade Union Organization, the Women's Federation, and the Secondary School Federation took the stage one after another to deliver passionate speeches, cheering the end of the imperialist colonial rule in Singapore for more than 100 years. In the middle of the meeting, the heavy rain poured down, and the 100,000 or so people present were poured like chickens in soup, but the crowd was not moved by the heavy rain at all, and the people cheered and jumped excitedly
