Chapter 91: The Falklands War (10)
"Let's start a meeting!" Zhao Jingping organized a meeting that night, and according to his words, this time we did not bring instructors or instructors to do ideological work...... This is my fault, originally I thought that the mission of coming here was to train the British, and the main purpose was to collect as much information as possible that could be useful for our army, so why bring instructors and instructors? What's more, we can only come to a dozen or so in total, and if we can have one more combat power, we will have one combat power, so the matter of ideological work will be put aside for the time being.
However, Zhao Jingping obviously didn't see it that way, especially after seeing Lin Xia's appearance, he felt that he couldn't relax in this regard, so he volunteered to take on the responsibility of paying close attention to the ideological work of the troops.
"It was our first day at our destination!" Zhao Jingping said earnestly: "The vast majority of comrades' expressions are good, and our work is also proceeding step by step, for example, today we have successfully suppressed the British army in the momentum, and at the same time completed the process of familiarizing ourselves with the new equipment, these are the necessary conditions for the future training of the British army, and it is also a good start for us, I hope that the comrades can make persistent efforts and finally successfully complete the tasks assigned to us by the superiors!" ”
"But!" Then Zhao Jingping changed his words again and said: "In the few days we have been abroad, I have found two problems. One is that there are many comrades who are ideologically burdened when carrying out this task, and I can understand this, and we are now assisting the British in the war...... Speaking of the British, let's not say much about it. During the Opium War, British imperialism was one of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and as recently as 30 years ago, it fought with us on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so it is understandable that the soldiers could not change psychologically! ”
In fact, Zhao Jingping is wrong about one point. The most recent of the hostility between our country and Britain should have been the self-defense counterattack against India 20 years ago, that is, in 62.
First of all, the McMahon Line, which India provoked the war under the pretext of being drawn by the British...... In this respect, India and Vietnam are the same virtue, Vietnam was colonized by France when France was strong, and when the French were driven away and Vietnam successfully broke away from the colonizers, they felt that they could naturally inherit all the land during the French colonial period, so they said that Laos was theirs, Cambodia was theirs, and Thailand was theirs.
The same is true of India, which itself was colonized by the British. The area around China near the McMahon Line was snatched by the British from the corrupt Qing government. When Britain withdrew from its colonial rule, India felt that it could inherit from Britain a border that China had never recognized...... So there was a 62-year war of self-defense and counterattack.
In fact, there are many people who believe that this line is deliberately carried out by the British, with the aim of creating border disputes...... There are only interests between countries. The more powerful and chaotic the fight of other countries, the more opportunities it has for its own country.
Even in this war between China and India, Britain provided India with a large number of weapons and military supplies. Of course. The United States and the Soviet Union also did this together. This was a rare time in history when the United States and the Soviet Union were united in their views.
But in the end, none of these weapons seem to be working...... The Indians were so uncompetitive that they were defeated by the Chinese army before they could do so, and many of the strategic materials that other countries had aided India had fallen into the hands of the Chinese army before they even opened the box.
So I can also understand the current mentality of the soldiers, who have always regarded the British as enemies, but now they have to train the British to fight, no matter what, it will be a little awkward in their hearts.
"But understanding is understanding!" Zhao Jingping continued: "To be honest, I was reluctant to carry out this task at first, but now I have figured it out. Come to think of it, didn't we fight with the Yankees before and treat them as enemies? But now you can fight the Soviet devils with the Yankees! Didn't we all come here when we were in Afghanistan? There is a saying that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. We should unite forces that can be combined to destroy the enemy, and this is the case with the Yankees. It's the same with the British now. Therefore, we should not continue to have a negative attitude toward this task, but should give full play to our enthusiasm to participate in the training task and report to the party and the people with excellent results......
I always thought that Zhao Jingping was a person who didn't like to talk and would only do things in obscurity, but then I realized that I was wrong.
"There is also a stricter question!" After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Jingping continued: "I found that some comrades did not stand firm enough in the process of work. We know that the capitalist countries are indeed very advanced in science and technology and equipment, and that they do have something we need to learn, but we must not lose our position and move closer to the direction of the capitalists ideologically. This kind of behavior is undesirable and very dangerous......"
Lin Xia was very sensitive and realized that Zhao Jingping said these words against her, but because Zhao Jingping did not name her, and Zhao Jingping was a superior, she had to blush and endure it.
Seeing that this shape was a little wrong, I interrupted Zhao Jingping and said: "Chief of Staff, our main purpose at present is to complete the task, let's leave this matter until we return to China!" ”
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping objected: "I will listen to you for everything else, but how can I go back to China to talk about this matter?" The imperialist sugar-coated cannonball is very tempting and deceptive, especially for inexperienced young people, and it will be too late to talk about it if they return home......"
"Report to the chief!" At this time, Lin Xia couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and responded: "I am not deceived or tempted, I know what I am doing." There is a saying that the master is good at mastering the art to control the master, and I am just learning some of their good things and using them for my own use. Only in this way can our country progress and become rich and strong, so I don't feel like I've made any mistakes! ”
"You!" Zhao Jingping stood up angrily, his fingers clicked in the air and he said angrily: "You...... Ideologically deserted and became for the country and the people? What kind of master Yi long skills to control Yi, I think you just want to engage in capitalism! ”
Lin Xia was murdered by Zhao Jingping and had no idea, on the one hand, she felt wronged, and on the other hand, she didn't dare to confront this angry chief, so she could only lower her head and cry silently.
"Okay, okay, let's not say a word!" I stood up and said, "Everyone is tired today, let's go back and rest, and start training tomorrow!" ”
"Yes!" As if grasping a life-saving straw, the soldiers hurried out of our cabin, which was the headquarters of the ship.
Lin Xia didn't dare to leave, but I gave Scar a look, and Scar willingly took Lin Xia out.
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jing's calm anger has not subsided, looking at Lin Xia who is leaving, he still said angrily: "Look at it, what is going on!" These young people ......"
"Staff Officer Zhao!" I smiled and handed Zhao Jingping a cigarette: "Actually, you don't need to be so angry about this kind of incident, Comrade Lin Xia does have a bit of a problem in his attitude, we all see it, but I don't think Comrade Lin Xia has any big problems!" ”
"Isn't that a big deal?" Zhao Jingping said: "Ideological problems are big problems! ”
"First of all!" I said, "There are only a dozen of us in the advisory group, and we are still in a foreign country, and if we don't unite among the dozen or so people, there will be such and such contradictions, it will not only make the British laugh, but also affect our mission!" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but nodded: "The battalion commander is right, I didn't expect this, but ......"
"Secondly, we should have a little faith in our homeland! Have some faith in young people! I went on to say, "Why do the higher authorities want to open up the country? That is to realize that there is no way out by closing ourselves off, we should have confidence in ourselves and have the courage to accept external challenges, only in this way will the country become stronger step by step, and the people will become richer and richer. In the process of opening up the country, there will inevitably be some young people who will be shaken in their thinking because of the influence of Western countries, such as our Comrade Lin Xia.
But I believe that in the end, when they see the essence of those capitalist countries, they will finally stand on our side, and even strengthen their positions and become supporters of our country! This is like when we were fighting a war with the Kuomintang, some comrades could not stand the temptation of the Kuomintang's advanced equipment and sufficient materials and wavered, but when they saw clearly that the Kuomintang army was low in combat effectiveness due to various problems, they would be more firm in their own position. ”
"So...... There is some truth to that! Zhao Jingping thought about it and said, "That's ...... Are we just left it alone? ”
"It's not that it doesn't matter!" I said, "But don't be too anxious, things in ideological work should be affected slowly, not just do ideological work and then reflect deeply!" ”
In modern times, I have seen too many people believe in the so-called universal values propagated by Europe and the United States because they do not understand foreign countries, but when they know more and more, or become more and more mature, they know that these so-called universal values are actually a set behind the surface, for the sake of their own national interests in Europe and the United States.
And then look at the fate of those regions that really believe in these universal values, such as India, such as Taiwan...... As a result, these ignorant teenagers, who were originally "cents", will soon be automatically transformed into "self-done five". (To be continued......)
