In the suite of the VIP Building of the Jin Jiang Hotel on Huaihai Middle Road, located in the center of Shanghai, Deng Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the garden scenery outside the window. His heart can't help but gush out of a heroic passion, the 1958 China Shanghai World Expo and the later Shanghai World Expo is a full 52 years apart, the base of more than 20,000 people did not come in vain, this surging passion, affecting his thoughts.

At the beginning of 1957, after the Shannan Special Economic Zone was basically stabilized, Deng Feng returned to Yanjing, and when he made a comprehensive report to the supreme leader on the situation of the SEZ, he proposed with the supreme chief to send a person with a pioneering spirit to take over his work in the Shannan Special Economic Zone and return to the base to concentrate on studying strategic issues against the Soviet Union. The supreme leader is grateful for this, and he has paid too much for Deng Feng in the Shannan Special Economic Zone, and he has just stabilized. And came to ask for an even more difficult task. Without power, without the slightest struggle for position, without the slightest personal ambition, it would be much easier for every comrade in the party to do everything like him. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Immortal, who do you think will take your place?" ”

"I think it is more appropriate to let Comrade Wang Xiaoyi, Secretary of the TW Provincial Party Committee, go, he is young and strong, he has both a principled surname and a flexible surname, and he has done a good job in TW in recent years." Deng Feng looked at the supreme leader and said, "In addition, let Anying go there to help him, and exercise himself." The supreme chief said: "It's okay to laugh, Kishi's qualifications are too shallow, and after graduating from graduate school, he has been engaged in technical work, and his lack of political experience can't help much." ”

Deng Feng shook his head and said: "Now our country is in the early stage of the third scientific and technological revolution, all aspects are inseparable from science and technology, management has developed into a real science, and it is difficult for laymen to effectively manage some specific things. As you said, the cadres are the decisive factor after the political line is decided. But after all, the correct political line depends on those who have real talent and knowledge to carry out the secondary line. ”

The supreme chief nodded and said, "You can come back, but you can't make a big deal of the work of the Shannan Special Economic Zone, so you will work hard as an immortal for a period of time, and then concurrently serve as the secretary of the party committee of the special administrative region." You should first explain your work to Comrade Xiaoyi, and then you will become the deputy chief of the General Staff after you come back. ”

Chairman, I don't want to be this Deputy Chief. When the prime minister talked to me, I also said that my greatest wish was to recover the territory north of Heilongjiang and east of Lake Balkhash occupied by the Soviet Union and solve the problem of Outer Mongolia. Let me concentrate on this work, and I suggest that the Central Committee set up a Working Committee on Far Eastern Issues, which would be directly responsible to the Central Committee and deal with the Soviet Union and Mongolian issues, as the Printing Work Committee did.

The supreme chief let out a long breath, stood up, walked to the window and pushed it open, the cold wind outside was blowing, and Deng Feng knew what the supreme chief was thinking about again.

At that time, China had just been liberated in 49 years, and he took over from Chiang Kai-shek, a broken mess of China, which was poor and white, and full of devastation, and Chiang Kai-shek said on August 14, 1946, the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" signed with the Soviet Union officially recognized the "Mongolian People's Republic" The Soviet Army established a military port in Luda, and the Soviet Union enjoyed the management of the Northeast Railway. Putting aside the ideology of the time, compared with the Soviet Union, the United States still had a slightly smaller appetite for China, at most it wanted to make some money in China and plunder a little of China's resources, and was not as greedy as the Soviet Union. The lesser of two evils, he did intend to establish contact with the United States, and had contact with Situ Leiden's assistants, and Situ Leiden did suggest to the American political axe to abandon Chiang Kai-shek and deal with [***] instead, but unfortunately did not get the consent of the US State Department, and only later did the article "Farewell, Situ Leiden" be published. There is no way, relying on the Soviet Union is the only option for China, he knows that Stalin looks down on him, considers himself a peasant, a bun. In addition to the huge losses caused to the Chinese revolution by the left-leaning line of the Comintern during the Red Army period, China [***] laid down its arms in 46 years, but the Kuomintang political axe became an official, that is, in 49 it also interfered with the Chinese People's Liberation Army to fight the Yangtze River, and ruled the Kuomintang by dividing the river, and the biggest reason was the Outer Mongolia problem. However, in terms of China's current situation at that time, it was too naïve to expect to be able to bring back Chiang Kai-shek's lost Outer Mongolia, and it was too naïve to deal with countries with strength, which is the so-called weak country without diplomacy.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, from January to February 1949, Mikoyan, a representative of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, visited Xibaipo, and he and Ren Bi took the initiative to ask the Soviet Union how to deal with the reunification of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia on the issue of Outer Mongolia. Mikoyan actually let out cruel words; "We do not advocate such unification, because it could lead to the loss of a large piece of territory for China. He had clearly told him that Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia could unite and be incorporated into the Chinese territory.

Mikoyan, however, said that this was impossible, because the Mongolian People's Republic had already enjoyed the reading power, and after the surrender of the Chinese government, the Chinese political axe recognized the reading power of Outer Mongolia. The people of Mongolia may not voluntarily give up reading at any time. If it merges with Inner Mongolia, it must be the establishment of a unified Mongolia. ”

"Chairman, the Prime Minister is here." A staff member walked in and whispered.

"Oh, please let him in." The arrival of the Prime Minister interrupted the thoughts of the Supreme Chief

"Chairman, the Central Committee of the CPSU asked us to visit the Soviet Union and do some persuasive work on Hungary and Poland." The Prime Minister reported to the Supreme Chief.

"Let the Soviet Union digest these by itself, we can't take care of too much of the affairs in Europe" and then said to Deng Feng: "What do the gods think?" ”

Deng Feng thought for a while and said: "In the previous paragraph, we supported that the Soviet army should stay in Hungary to quell the counter-revolutionary rebellion, which is correct, and it is beneficial for us to maintain a Warsaw organization in Europe that can compete with the United States. But a stable Europe is not in the interests of our country. I agree with the President that the turmoil in Eastern Europe was for the Soviets to digest themselves, as much as they could. The Ihuasaw organization does not disintegrate as degrees. ”

"Enlai, let's do it then." Later, the supreme chief said: "Just now I talked to Shen Xian about the arrangement of his work, and he was unwilling to be the deputy general chief, and he wanted to set up a working committee on the Far Eastern question, which would be directly responsible to the central authorities like the Printing Work Committee, and deal specifically with the territorial issues with the Soviet Union and the Mongolian question. ”

Zhou Enlai turned his head to Deng Feng and said: "Okay, you can deal with these problems more easily than us, a few years ago in the Soviet Union territorial issue and the Mongolian issue, because of the ideology of our hands and feet. This, combined with Stalin's hard-line position, left us torn between the unity of the country and the socialist camp. On our first visit to the Soviet Union in '49, the President and I intended to discuss with Stalin the question of land north of the Heilongjiang River and east of Lake Balkhash and Outer Mongolia, but we were snubbed by the Soviet Union. In order to be able to gain the support of the Soviet Union, when the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Mutual Assistance and Alliance was finally signed with the Soviet Union, the 'Mongolian People's Republic' was recognized as a means of no choice at that time."

The supreme chief took a deep puff of cigarette and said: "From the bottom of my heart, I really do not want to confirm the validity of the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty" signed by the Kuomintang on the issue of recognition of foreign [***] countries, and the situation at that time was that the question of the status of Mongolia other than Stalin could not be negotiated, so he did not hesitate to turn his face with us for this resolute attitude, except for this issue in other aspects of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Union could make substantial concessions in exchange for our recognition of Outer Mongolia." The two sides have always been frozen there, always avoiding the Outer Mongolian issue, and tacitly understanding each other, and this is the most fundamental reason why I stayed for a long time during my first visit to the Soviet Union.

Deng Feng looked at the supreme leader and the prime minister and said that the Yalta agreement separated Outer Mongolia from China and put us in an extremely unfavorable strategic position. So this problem must be solved. In 1946, the Kuomintang signed the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty" with the Soviet Union, and in the same year, Chiang Kai-shek, with the support of the United States, declared the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" invalid at the United Nations on the grounds that the Soviet Union had violated the contract, and denied the foreign [***] establishment. This is why, until later generations, in Taiwan's geography textbooks, Outer Mongolia was still within the territory of the "Republic of China". In 1953, at the Seventh National Congress of the Kuomintang, he made such a heartfelt confession: "At that time, it was my personal decision, that is, to ensure the victory after the war, lay the foundation for national reading and national rejuvenation, and must seek 20 years of rest and recuperation and peaceful construction; As long as we can strive for this opportunity to build, it will be worth the sacrifice. Therefore, we decided to endure the humiliation of the negotiations with the Russian imperialists, and did not hesitate to admit the [***] establishment, and made the greatest sacrifice to endure the pain of signing the treaty and annexes...... My determination to advocate abandoning Outer Mongolia is based on this. In the present view, this is really a naïve fantasy, and it is by no means the way to seek the country...... This is my responsibility and my sin. Haha, of course he wouldn't have any nourishment if he said that now. ”

"What will the people of the afterlife say about this?" The Prime Minister asked with concern.

Deng Feng replied disdainfully: "Those people with ulterior motives and those incompetent garbage don't listen to the same as the Kuomintang reactionaries." ”

The prime minister said with some indignation: "In 1953, when Stalin died, Comrade Dawei and I negotiated with Khrushchev, including Mongolia and some other historical issues, but the Soviet Union refused. On the issue of the return of Outer Mongolia, Comrade Dawei also quarreled with Zedenbar on the plane. The prime minister took a deep breath and said: "Shortly after we returned from the Soviet Union, Zedenbar, at the urging of the Soviets, came to exchange maps with us and demarcate the borders. We rejected it. ”

Deng Feng said: "The problem of Outer Mongolia is actually the problem of the Soviet Union, and Outer Mongolia is equivalent to the 16th republic of the Soviet Union. Taking advantage of the current situation in Eastern Europe is very unstable, and the Soviet Party is also engaged in a life-and-death struggle, a showdown with the Soviet Union. In the first case, if done well, we can recover a series of lands lost by the Qing Dynasty; In the second case, after our efforts to recover Outer Mongolia, the third worst possibility is that the Soviet Union will enter and drop a few atomic bombs on China, and Northeast China and Inner Mongolia will be occupied by the Soviet Union. But I don't think they have the power yet. With China's current strength, we do not yet have the ability to occupy the Soviet Union, but we still have the ability to destroy the European part of the Soviet Union. ”

The supreme chief was smoking cigarettes, and the prime minister was silently drinking tea and working with the Soviet Union, although Deng Feng and Li Dawei put forward several sets of plans for their base party committees a few years ago, they never met the conditions for the implementation of the plans.

The supreme chief extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said to Zhou En, convene a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, take out the plans of the gods and their full discussion, and see what conditions are still missing.

"The further back this question goes, the more difficult it becomes, in terms of the capabilities of the Soviet Union, the 20 years from the mid-60s to the mid-80s were their strongest, and we are now inferior to them in basic industry, but far superior to them in quality. The current medium- and long-range missiles of the Soviet Union and the United States are not up to the mark at all, the accuracy of hitting is poor, and the actual combat value is not high. None of the P-5, P-12, and P-7A missiles equipped by the Soviet Union could provide a reliable security guarantee for the Soviet Union, and these missiles were launched entirely by means of silos, and the Soviet silos were all clearly displayed on our satellite maps, and we were fully capable of destroying them at the first time if we were to fight. Deng Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and continued: "In addition, we should support Danba, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, many of his views are the same as ours, he emphasized that the development of national industry, the experience of the Soviet Union is not the only experience, we cannot mechanically copy and dogmatically copy the experience of the Soviet Union, we must vigorously publicize the experience of China, believe that dogmatism is more harmful to Mongolia, and take a series of measures to overcome dogmatism. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, Danba's remarks and propositions were obviously not only unpalatable to its own taste, but also suspected of leaning toward China. Under Khrushchev's planning, Zedenbar took the lead in criticizing Danba in the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. After several struggles, Danba was demoted to second secretary in November 1958 and ousted from the Politburo six months later, replacing Zedenbar as first secretary of the Mongolian Party. The second secretary of the second secretary who supported Danba against dogmatism and revisionism was the secretary of his Middorgi. Surenzab was also removed from his post soon after and expelled from the Politburo and the Secretariat. If we

"What are you thinking, my dear?" Liu Ying, who had just become a bride, hugged Deng Feng's waist from behind and said, "Didn't we say okay, don't we want anything related to work during the honeymoon?" Let's go, let's go see the Expo together. ”

Deng Feng turned around and put his arm around his bride's shoulder, and said apologetically, I will meet with Dawei in a while with the so-called chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic. How about it, are you interested in listening to it? ”

"I won't go to talk to such a big person," Liu Ying said with some disappointment.

Deng Feng said with contempt: "He is a big man, just a dog raised by the Soviet Union." ”
