The difficult road to claim two

At the suggestion of [***], an enlarged meeting of the Politburo was held in Yanjing on 25 December, and the principal responsible comrades of the major military regions and major branches of the armed forces also attended the meeting to discuss the issue of Taiwan and claims against Taiwan. Deng Feng attended the meeting as a special representative, and after receiving the notice, he immediately took the plane to Yanjing. On December 24, he stayed at the Yanjing Hotel in the evening. When I met Li Dawei, who came back from the United States, at the Yanjing Hotel, it was naturally a pleasure for the two to meet, and the two talked about the second half of the night in Deng Feng's room. Deng Feng told Li Dawei: "After you left, the party committee of the base wrote a proposal to the Central Committee on the compensation and settlement of the Taiwan issue. Deng Feng of Zhikong D1 Army attended. That's why I'm coming to Yanjing."

Li Dawei and Deng Feng talked about the Sino-US talks in the United States, and said that they have been busy reporting on the situation in the past few days. The early technicians of the U.S. liaison station have arrived in Yenching from Yuben. Chinese technicians also set off for the United States today. The first batch of "aid" equipment of the US military arrived in Qingdao yesterday from Yuben and has been very busy. Didn't come to say hello to the base.

Deng Feng said: "The party committee of the base has suggested that the central authorities completely dismantle the secondary industry equipment of the base through the claim for compensation, and the way out for the future is agriculture, and the tertiary industry is roughly the same as what you talked about in the United States; in China's modern history, the interests that the two Russia have gained in China have been the greatest, and have caused tremendous harm to China." Through the First Sino-Japanese War, Ben not only seized Taiwan but also received a huge amount of reparations, and later invaded China in World War II, causing astronomical casualties to China. This time, we must be able to solve not only the shame of a hundred years, but also the benefit of the present and the future. Have you thought about what to do?" I thought about it when I was in the United States, but I can't think about what to do specifically, and we still can't rely on Mao and Zhou to do these big politicians. Li Dawei paused for a while and said, "But I think these still depend on how you talk to yourself. It's a matter of urgency. If it's not good, you still have to fight it."

Deng Feng went on to say: "Since 1840. The imperialist countries owe too much to our country's history. It is our responsibility to raise these issues in a timely manner. Put forward an idea, how to solve it must be solved by the central government. What is the next step to solve the problem of Outer Mongolia and the territory occupied by Russia of 1.7 million square kilometers. This time I would like to suggest that the central government should also have some plans. When we have this strength, we can solve it."

Li Dawei nodded and said, "Yes. The territorial issue is related to the development and living space of the Chinese nation's future generations, and in modern China, Russia has encroached on China's territory, totaling nearly 1.7 million square kilometers of territory. China has indirectly lost 1.56 million square kilometers of territory, and the two combined, Russia has caused China's territorial state to lose more than 3.4 million square kilometers of territory. After Li Dawei finished speaking, he sighed a little gloomily and said, "This account is really too much. Without a strong national strength and without a good historical opportunity, it is difficult to get it back."

Deng Feng said: "Since the ghost sent us to this era, we are extremely ordinary people. It is providence that has arranged for us to do something about China. Do something extraordinary. Now we have the leadership of a great man like Mao ZD, and an outstanding and great organizer like Zhou Enlai, this kind of opportunity is unique, we can't push, we can't wait. If Mao's and Zhou's generation can't solve it, you and I know that those behind it can't be solved. We will definitely try our best to fight for China a little more. It's not in vain for us to come for a while, huh?"

Sent Li Dawei away. Deng Feng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about Taiwan and the issue of claims, the key to these two issues is still the issue with the United States. This time Dawei talks in the United States is good. This is a great historical opportunity. No matter what means are used, you can't let it go

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Deng Feng and Li Dawei both attended an enlarged meeting of the Politburo held in Huairentang as observers, at which Li Dawei made a report on the meeting between the United States and US Assistant Secretary of State Rost.

Due to the decisive victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the relaxation of Sino-US relations, everyone was relieved, there was talk and laughter, and the discussion at the meeting was very hot, Deng Feng and Li Dawei were familiar with these old revolutionaries, and they knew everyone who participated in the meeting from later history, but they actually had no real contact. And people's perception is also changed by changes in external conditions. There are some things that really can't be looked at with the history we know. They listened attentively to everyone's speeches. Neither of them said anything at the meeting, and they didn't know what to say. Due to the close relationship with Liu Yalou, some of the ideas of the Zhikong D1 Army were said by Liu Yalou on behalf of the Air Force.

Seeing that they hadn't spoken, he said to them, "Deng Feng. Comrade Dawei, why don't you talk about it . Tell us your point of view and why you have to do these two things now. Can you not do it?"

Deng Feng looked at [***] and pointed out the question, not to say that it would not work, so he thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then I'll just say a few words. Why do we have to do these two things right away? Because this is a rare opportunity, now the attention of the United States and the Soviet Union is focused on Europe, and the situation in Europe is very tense, everyone knows this. In order to deal with Europe with all its might, and does not want to give up its interests in Asia in an all-round way, the United States has no choice but to compromise with us and maintain a minimum power in Korea and Japan that can only maintain its rule. Or leave a few people to occupy these two places. Move troops and equipment to Europe as much as possible. But it is still unknown whether the war in Europe can really be fought. If Europe once stabilized. The United States is about to come back. Don't have any illusions about the United States. No matter how good he says it now. So we are now taking this opportunity to do the two things of Taiwan and Ben. Break through the first island chain of the US blockade of our country and strive for greater space for China's future development. If we can settle the Ryukyus and Taiwan, we will fight for thousands of kilometers of strategic depth for us. If we don't take advantage of this fleeting opportunity, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome to solve it in the future. The more complicated it is, the greater the price to pay. I have just listened to the speeches of several comrades. Some comrades said that there are many difficulties, and these difficulties must exist objectively, that is, in another 30 or 50 years, there will still be difficulties. If you don't make up your mind to solve it, it will be difficult in 100 years. Both of these things require naval power and maritime transport capabilities. Think about it, can this problem be solved in the short term?

So these two things, it is better to solve them later than to solve them early. There are some conditions that are not met, but there are no conditions to create conditions to do these two things! The importance of these two things is self-evident, there is nothing to say in Taiwan, and it is impossible for us to let others pinch our testicles. The claim is not only to pay a few dollars and dismantle a few of their factories. It is important that through this event, the material basis for the re-development of the book was completely lifted. Knock out its wolf fangs completely, so that it can't develop for at least twenty years." The Taiwan issue and the issue of claims are, to put it bluntly, an issue with the United States." Deng Feng took a sip of water and then said: "If the United States completely leaves it alone, we can take the Taiwan issue in two steps, and we will salute first and then soldier. It is better to solve it peacefully, and if it cannot be resolved peacefully, it is determined to solve it by force. The first step is that as long as Taiwan allows our troops to enter Taiwan and declare sovereignty, it is easy to talk about any issue. The remaining problems can be solved slowly. Of course, there is a timetable, and we can't wait for them indefinitely. It is set at the end of 51 years. Don't let them drag it out, if you let the United States slow down, it will be very troublesome. We have a year to prepare. If Chiang Kai-shek refuses even such conditions, then there will be only a hard fight. We have also repeatedly studied that if there is air supremacy, Taiwan's sea power is not a big concern, and the problem of seizing the beachhead through air suppression is not big. Even if the United States is added, there is not much of a problem, and Commander Liu Yalou has already talked about this: "He talked about his own thoughts on the peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue. There was a lot of discussion about this possible surname."

Later, Deng Feng said: "However, judging from the current situation, the United States does not want to give up all of its claims and wants to help them, and they are very likely to end the state of hostilities and resolve the issue of war reparations through an international peace conference and a general peace treaty." In this way, it is simply impossible to disarm the war capability. In terms of economic interests, there were so many victorious countries in World War II, how much could be distributed to China? In the next 10 years, 20 years will lose 1 billion 2 billion dollars. So it definitely can't be done the way the United States does. We talk about claims separately and this one. If you talk about it, you can talk about it, and if you don't talk about it, you will bomb Tokyo again until they are willing to claim compensation. Of course, the effect of bombing is more to destroy their will, knock out their psychological superiority over China, and disrupt their normal domestic order. If the United States wants to get started, I think their current strength can only be to defend their homeland. In order to relieve China's henchmen from the great trouble, we must be determined to fight a big war at all costs."

Zhou Enlai interjected and said that the director of the treaty bureau will come to China next week to talk to us on the issue of compensation, and now we are drafting a draft peace treaty. I think Li Dawei will not return to the base for the time being, let's participate in the negotiations with the United States first, this time the talks in the United States are very good, there are both principled and flexible surnames. The result was an unexpected victory. Especially the Ryukyu issue. The Prisoner of War Problem."

Mao ZD interjected: "Then let Dawei take charge again. Let's go meet with the director of the treaty bureau for a while."

Deng Feng thought for a while and said, "In addition, I want to say two off-topic words. Just now, the premier said that Comrade Li Dawei had a very good talk in the United States this time, and he has both principled and flexible surnames. However, in the discussion just now, I heard some comrades say that Comrade Li Dawei should not reach an agreement with the United States to let the United States stay on the 37th parallel. US imperialism should be driven out of Korea once and for all. Have these comrades ever thought about what good it would be for our country to completely drive the United States out of the DPRK? Can we go and occupy North Korea? Do we have the ability? Of course, we can't. We don't have that capability right now. We drove America out of the way. We can't occupy North Korea, so who will come? There's no doubt that big brother of ours is coming." Deng Feng stood up a little excitedly when he said this. Looking at everyone's astonished gazes, he continued: "Russia has been the most successful in encroaching on China's territory in modern Chinese history, and it has been encroaching on China's original inherent territory since the early 50s of the 19th century: 510,000 square kilometers of territory east of Lake Balkhash, east of the Pamirs, and in the Ili River Valley; a territory of more than 1 million square kilometers in the Outer Northeast south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains and east of Lake Baikal; The territory of 170,000 square kilometers of Tangnu-Ulianghai, which originally belonged to Outer Mongolia. The above adds up to a territory of almost 1.7 million square kilometers. The indirect territorial loss of China includes 1.56 million square kilometers of territory in China's Outer Mongolia, and the map of China has changed from begonia leaves to the current big rooster. Russia has deprived China of more than 3.4 million square kilometers of territory, and it is China's greatest tragedy that Russia has become China's neighbor! Our big brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even Stalin, whom we revere as the revolutionary teacher of the proletariat, still has great power chauvinism and imperialist sentiments. If I say this, there may be comrades who will say that I have anti-Soviet ideas, and okay . Then please say this, my comrade, to persuade Comrade Stalin to absolve all unequal treaties with China in accordance with Lenin's last wishes, and to give up all the Chinese territories seized by Tsarist Russia. Forever return all the usurped Chinese rights without compensation.

What's so bad about keeping the United States in Korea can somewhat curb the ambitions of the Soviet Union? If necessary, we will make some more concessions on the Korean Peninsula and ensure our own core interests."

[***] smiled and said, "I think it's very good. We just have to study the question of how to maintain the sovereignty of our country. You're very strategic."
