Chapter 279: Teaching of the Far East Fleet of the People's Liberation Army
Under the joint attack of the army, navy, air force and airborne forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union, a new generation of Soviet Red Navy - the Soviet Pacific Fleet, which is composed of strong armor artillery warships and terrified the officers and men of the US and British Navy, except for 12 submarines, 2 destroyers, 4 frigates, 2 minelayers, 10 minesweepers, and 8 submarine hunters in the port of Petropavlovsk, the capital of Kamchatka, did not receive a blow. 4 Both in Vladivostok and the Soviet port on the eastern shore of the Soviet Bay in the Tatar Strait, as well as in the Benhai and East China Seas, the Yellow Sea was dealt a heavy blow. Of the more than 300 ships of various types of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, 40% were sunk or damaged. Of the 130,000 officers and men of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, 7.6 became prisoners of China.
How can the 76,000 naval prisoners of the Soviet Pacific Fleet become part of the Chinese Navy, so that the Chinese Navy can grow rapidly and become an important strategic force that runs rampant on five continents and four oceans, and is intimidating to all countries in the world that vainly try to spy on China's core interests? It's a lot of work.
As a land and sea power with a long coastline, China has a relatively weak maritime awareness from top to bottom, from ancient times to the present. In the Chinese subconscious, the ocean is still a source of danger. Generally speaking, the people's willingness to safeguard maritime rights and interests is still basically defensive and passive. Even when later generations claimed to be the world's second largest economy, the poor could not even keep their own territorial waters, and those small Southeast Asian countries with big noses could recklessly and non-stop pumping the blood of their Chinese ancestors in the South China Sea.
Building a powerful people's navy is a dream of many generations of Chinese people with lofty ideals, and consider that in future generations China is the only country among the five major countries of the Security Council that does not have aircraft carriers. How many years has an aircraft carrier been shouted by the people of the country, but it just doesn't come out, is it financially unaffordable? No, it is enough to clean up a few "petty corrupt officials" to build a few aircraft carriers. Is it a technical issue? No, an aircraft carrier is nothing more than a mobile airfield. It should not be a big problem to be the country with the largest number of shipbuilders in the world, so what is the problem? In fact, it is a matter of ocean awareness. Some extremely mediocre people lack marine consciousness to the point of being brain-dead.
Build your own aircraft carrier fleet. It is not only a requirement of military capability, but also an important symbol for the state to show that it maintains maritime security and maritime rights and interests. It can be said that the possession of an aircraft carrier fleet will undoubtedly play a positive role in promoting the improvement of China's national maritime awareness and enhancing China's self-confidence as a maritime power.
Deng Feng and the others are well aware that the development trend of future wars will be more inclined to the control of sea supremacy and air supremacy, and the air force can completely control absolute air supremacy within its own territory on a land-based basis. But the land-based basis is only a defensive one. It is limited by the flight radius of the aircraft. In order to effectively safeguard China's core interests on a global scale, it is necessary to build a powerful new type of Chinese people's navy. The navy is the only branch of the military that can go abroad in peacetime, is a powerful tool for implementing and supporting foreign policy, and is also a strategic service for the country to shape a favorable maritime security environment. Assemble a fleet capable of delivering quick and effective strikes to every corner of the globe within 12 hours, ensuring the security of China's maritime trade and oil routes, and protecting the country's assets and personnel overseas. It has become Deng Feng's next goal.
In order to achieve this goal, one of the two prerequisites must be met: one is to establish military bases around the world that are connected by the flight radius of aircraft, but to do this, there are a series of many political, diplomatic and other problems, which is not so easy to do, and the cost of the bases abroad is high, and it is constrained by the conditions of the sovereign state of the base.
Another condition is the establishment of a strong people's navy and overseas supply bases. This one is relatively simple. The construction of the navy is a long process, and the construction of the navy is a branch of the armed forces with a long investment cycle and a slow construction speed. Moreover, the cultivation of marine awareness and the handling of various situations at sea also have a process of accumulation over many years.
The construction of hardware -- the construction of warships is not a major problem for China today, and the large amount of technical data brought by the bases, plus the more than 300,000 laborers who came from the post-war war reparations, many of them are from the major shipyards in the city, and have participated in the design and manufacture of various ships, including the aircraft carriers of the Second World War.
The vast majority of those laborers are extremely skilled engineering and technical personnel, and these people work hard, bear hardships and stand hard work, are skilled and skillful, and their comprehensive technical quality is overwhelmingly higher than that of the Chinese. It has made tremendous contributions to China's socialist construction. Because the secondary industry of the Chinese nation was completely dismantled by China, and they could only change careers when they returned to China, they all strived to join the Chinese nationality with excellent performance, coupled with the unique broad-mindedness of the Chinese nation and the ability to accommodate foreign nationalities, these laborers have been fully integrated into the Chinese society after the expiration of the labor service, and the vast majority of them have obtained Chinese surnames and joined the Chinese nationality with their excellent performance, and have brought their family members to China. If you overcome the difference in accent, you don't know that your colleague used to be yourself.
However, the development of the navy is not possible only by ships, and more importantly, it is necessary to have a large number of qualified ships and management personnel to work on these ships in order to form combat effectiveness; the navy is a branch of the armed forces with extremely strong technical surnames, and the training of technical personnel is not overnight. The main technical force of the Chinese People's Navy is the navy from the Kuomintang uprising, but the number is too small, and qualified naval personnel have become the main bottleneck restricting the development of the Chinese People's Navy.
Now that China has occupied the Far East, taken naval bases such as Vladivostok and Port Soviet, and seized 60% of the ships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, if you add more than 240 ships that can continue to be used after being damaged and repaired, what if you want to quickly transform this powerful maritime force into the combat strength of the Chinese People's Navy, the fastest and best way is to directly integrate the 3/4 of the Soviet Pacific Fleet with ships and personnel into the Chinese People's Navy.
In the "Operation Bear Hunt" plan, the Chinese Navy directly received the personnel and equipment of the Soviet naval bases and Soviet ships in the Pacific. The rehabilitation of prisoners of war was also carried out by the Political Department of the Navy, of course.
The Political Department of the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has also set up a prisoner management office to educate and reform the more than 76,000 prisoners of war of the Soviet Pacific Navy.
However, the prisoner management department established by the Political Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is not called the prisoner of war management office or the prisoner of war shelter, but the PLA Far East Fleet Teaching School.
Of course, the procedures and contents of educational reform are almost the same. It is also divided according to the nationality, and the standard of living treatment is the same as that of the Chinese Navy.
For these Soviet prisoners of war, medical personnel from both China and the Soviet Union were first organized to conduct a comprehensive physical examination for them, and timely and effective treatment was given to the wounded and sick prisoners of war. Seriously wounded and seriously ill prisoners of war are transferred to prisoners of war hospitals for admission and treatment, and special care is given to prisoners of war who are unable to take care of themselves. Arrangements for early repatriation of disability.
At the opening of the various branches of the PLA Far East Fleet Training School, Hu You, director of the PLA Far East Fleet Training School, gave a speech in the auditorium of the Vladivostok Naval Base.
"Students! Hello! I beg your pardon for inviting you to this school without first asking for your opinion," the Soviet naval prisoners of war were surprised by the fact that the "foolish instructor" called these prisoners of war "classmates." "The reason why I call you classmates is because this is not a concentration camp, not a prisoner of war camp, but a real naval technical school. In this school, we will soon arrange a lot of Chinese students to study together, to pursue the truth together, to learn the professional knowledge of science and technology and naval construction. Of course, we also have to talk about Marxist-Leninist politics and history. After graduation, some of you will become glorious naval soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. ”
Then, from the history of the opium war in 1840 onwards, the imperialist powers invaded and plundered China, and said why China launched this war, and that in order for the proletariat to achieve its own complete liberation, it is not enough to rely on the proletariat of one country alone, but also the proletariat of the whole world to unite. However, the Soviet authorities inherited the fruits of aggression of Tsarist imperialism and occupied so many resources, which was not in the interests of the proletariat of the whole world, and China's recovery of these territories that it had previously lost only made the allocation of resources of the entire socialist camp more rational and made full use of idle resources, which was an important measure for the better benefit of the proletariat of the whole world. ”
He went on to say: "Why, in the case of the use of atomic bombs by the Soviet Union, did China not carry out a nuclear counterattack and treat the Soviet comrades so leniently? It was because of the great proletarian revolutionary mentor Karl. Marx and Engels put forward in the first program document of the proletarian party -- the "[***] Manifesto" that 'the proletarians of the whole world unite', which is also the motto on the national emblem of the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union are both socialist countries, the proletariat is the master of the country, and the proletariat of the whole world is one. What else does the family have to share with yours and mine? The proletariat must clearly understand the common interests of the entire proletariat, regardless of nationality, correctly handle the relationship between national and international tasks, unite and support each other while striving for the victory of the revolution at home, and fight for the defeat of the common enemy and the defense of common interests, and resolutely oppose all forms of national egoism and great power chauvinism. Only in this way can the sincere unity and unity of the proletariat of all countries be safeguarded and strengthened.
He spoke of excitement and shouted in Russian: "Proletarians of the whole world unite." Down with our common enemy, the vicious imperialism, and abolish the man-eating capitalist system. In the end, he expounded the truth that the proletariat has no borders and that the proletariat of the world will be able to defeat the bourgeoisie in the end.
These Soviet prisoners of war applauded and nodded frequently.
From 19:30 to 21:30 every day, the TV programs watched by the "students" focused on the great achievements of economic construction made by New China over the years, documentaries about the Shanghai World Expo and China's hydrogen bomb tests, and TV dramas that reflected the lives of the Chinese people. The penetration of this culture is imperceptible. These inevitably gave rise to a yearning for Chinese mythology in the hearts of Soviet prisoners of war.
In order to make the Soviet prisoners of war more truly feel the great changes that have taken place in China, and to facilitate their comparison with the current situation of the Soviet Union. It also organized Soviet prisoners of war officers with the rank of lieutenant and noncommissioned officers in some important technical posts to visit factories, rural areas, department stores, supermarkets, and restaurants in Chinese cities close to Vladivostok to see with their own eyes the great achievements made by New China in the past 10 years.
In order to give these Soviet prisoners of war a first-hand experience of the real life of the Chinese, each prisoner of war could choose to stay in a Chinese resident's home for two days.
In the community of a workers' new village on Zunyi West Road, Longtan District, Jilin City, where "green mountains are on all sides, water on three sides, and mountains and rivers in half a city," Jin Mantang received a member of the PLA Far East Fleet Teaching School visiting group named Anderchekurov from his home on the 15th floor.
Jin Mantang's family, in their neatly cleaned 71-meter, two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, one-bathroom home, very enthusiastically let the Belarusian deputy captain of the destroyer of the Soviet Pacific Fleet destroyer, Major Anderchekurov, to the dining table.
In the 16-meter living room, Anderchekurov and the family watched TV, ate shabu-shabu, and chatted. Kim Mantang's wife and a 4-year-old child quickly finished eating, sitting on the couch to the side while watching TV while secretly looking at the tall Soviet man.
Kim Mantang constantly asked Andchekurov to eat and drink, and told Andchekurov about the content of the TV program.
Anderchekurov was surprised that Jin Mantang could speak Russian, and he asked curiously: "Comrade Kim, where did you learn Russian?" ”
"Heh, heh, it's a long story, it's really hard to explain." Jin Mantang said with a wry smile: "I studied in the port of Nakhodka, not far from Vladivostok, where you were captured by our army. ”
"Nakhodka Port?" Somewhat puzzled, Anderchekurov asked: "Have you been in the port of Nakhodka?" ”
Jin Mantang motioned for his wife to take the child back to the bedroom. Then he threw up his neck and drained the wine from his cup, and said, "Yes! Not only did I stay, but I stayed for 7 years. ”
