[82] What a big pit

Standing on the waste grinding plate of the threshing floor at the east end of the village, he enthusiastically said to the villagers gathered here: "Fellow villagers, don't say that there is subsidized grain for work every day, even if there is no subsidized grain!" Full labor, half labor all go to the embankment, everyone does it together!

"Folks, it's all for yourself! for individuals. The President is for the people. What we are doing is for ourselves, responding to the call of the chairman for ourselves, and curing our Huai River, and our life will be fine......"

The secretary is a simple peasant background, and although the sentences are not written in a literary manner, every word falls in the hearts of the villagers.

"Secretary, don't grind, do whatever you say, we listen to you, this rotten river, how many times our ancestors have harmed us, we know it." A villager said.

"Yes, the Communist Party is the party of our people, the Communist Party says that we will do what we do, we have one heart with the government, if anyone does not work, my old He family and him are not finished!"

"Whoever dares not to work, my old grandson's family is not finished with him!" The old grandson stood up and walked to the secretary's side,

"The chairman gave us poor people, distributed fields to us, and gave us farm tools, and even my daughter-in-law's clothes were given by the government! Has anyone in the old society ever cared if we lived or died? The landlord Lao Cai saw that the flood and the whole family ran away, and the water receded and came back to collect rent, and not a pound was missing. Speaking of which, the old grandson's eyes were red.

"What kind of life our family used to live, the villagers have seen it, my wife and two daughters only have one rag clothes, and they can't go out together! Whoever goes out wears clothes, at home will wear a rotten linen, it is the Communist Party and the chairman who have changed us from ghosts to people, knocked down the landlord and divided the field clothes, the secretary, you also took someone to paint the wall of my house, my grandson knows what is called Ende! I owe the government kindness, and I can't repay it in my life! ”

The old grandson was excited, raised the hoe in his hand and shouted: "My family of five, men, women and children are all on the embankment, and whoever doesn't work, I will smash his dog's head first and then go up to the embankment." ”

"That's right! All go, all go! Who doesn't go and smash his dog's head first! The villagers were boiling and all shouted.

Yinghe County is just a microcosm, at this time, on both sides of the Huai River, all villages, townships, towns, and cities are such a scene of vigorous energy, and the people of the Communist Party do not need to mobilize, because the will of the people is the will of the party, and the will of the party is the will of the people. The people along the Huai River have only one thought, that is, "we must control the Huai River well!" ”

At this time, the Soviet Union was very embarrassed, the long-pending alliance treaty has not yet been signed, Shijie public opinion began to rumor, some Western media even said that the Soviet Union had placed Chinese negotiators under house arrest and was preparing to invade China by force, Stalin also had a headache, he looked at the unrecognizable draft treaty revised by the Chinese, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and after being angry, he felt funny.

"Comrade Mikoyan, if you look at the ideas of the Chinese, it is simply naïve and ridiculous, they make a fuss about what Comrade Lenin said, saying that recognizing the Soviet Union's right to inherit the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia can agree to the socialist Soviet Union to inherit these lands forever, but if the Soviet Union disintegrates and the Soviet Union is no longer led by the Communist Party and the one-party dictatorship, the successor countries of the Soviet Union will immediately and unconditionally return these territories to China! And China will no longer recognize the independent legal status of Outer Mongolia! ”

Stalin asked Mikoyan contemptuously and bewilderedly with a blowing beard:

"I have long said that Mao's Marxism is margarine, and in his bones it is naked narrow nationalism, what do you mean by that? Does he think that the great Soviets will fail! Will disintegrate!

This margarine! From the moment he first raised the question of the status of Mongolia, I already knew that he was not a pure international communist fighter, he actually questioned the superiority of the Soviet system, and he was the leader of a socialist country! ”

Mikoyan said: "It is inconceivable that a veteran Communist Party member, the leader of a socialist country, would question the superiority of the socialist system. This doesn't quite match the impression that Mao left on me before.

But such skepticism can only come from a newly formed socialist country, which may be shaken or tempted by the United States.

Considering that they have never had experience in government, let alone leading a socialist country, and that they have absorbed too many members of the former bourgeois regime, those people only know how to govern the country by bourgeois means. ”

Stalin said with a calm face: "Does he want to be the second Tito?" However, in his letters, he enthusiastically praised the great achievements and glorious future of the Soviets, and I could see that he firmly believed in the incomparable superiority of the great socialist system. Perhaps, as he said, it is necessary to use such a clause to give an account to the people. ”

Mikoyan said: "I think this is more likely, because the Chinese* government is more nationalistic, and perhaps this clause is a reassurance to the growing nationalist sentiment in their government."

After all, they unconditionally recognized the succession of the Soviets, and this is the key, and I don't think they are so stupid as to think that the great Soviets will dissolve and the dictatorship of the proletariat will be overthrown. They themselves are exactly like our socialist countries. In my judgment, this clause is nothing more than a plausion to nationalist sentiments. ”

Stalin nodded: "You are right, their delegation is still very sincere, and also explained this clause, Liu told me that in their opinion, these lands are the same in the hands of the Soviets as in their own hands, the Soviet Union is the big brother of socialism in China, and the things of the younger brother are the things of the elder brother."

Well, I believe they were out of desperation, in order to take care of their nationalist sentiments in the country. Stalin made an assertion.

But he immediately got angry again: "Weishenme They want the second port of Luda so much, and they don't agree that we have the right to use the Zhongchang Railway, it's really too big picture!" These are important for the entire socialist camp, and of course they will play the greatest role in the hands of the Soviets, these narrow nationalist guys"

Mikoyan reminded: "Now there are a lot of rumors in the outside world, and the public wooing of the United States is already naked. I am afraid that if this drags on like this, China will become a second Yugoslavia. ”

Stalin's expression eased: "I'm not too worried, you see they changed the purpose of the $300 million loan set last time, the original industrial and military projects were all canceled, they said that they would focus the country on national recovery construction and light industry, agriculture and education, hoping to become the most resolute rear of the Soviets, this reassures me, but too weak China is not in our interests, the United States is increasing its military liliang in the Pacific Ocean, Mao's idea is very dangerous, He is so lacking in strategic considerations that he actually thinks that he is the rear, and as long as agriculture and light industry can protect himself? How could he protect himself without Soviet military projects? I'd like to see. ”

Mikoyan said: "In the future, when he suffers, he will honestly ask the Soviet army to help him defend the country." So it's better to generously promise him, Luda to him, the railway to him, and the consolation treaty to be written. ”

After saying that, Mikoyan and Stalin looked at each other and laughed knowingly at each other.
