629 Taking the wrong medicine

The wind in 1948 was a bit noisy, first with a fire in Egypt and then again in Poland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info There was a possibility of turmoil in the whole of Central and Eastern Europe, and even the RAND Corporation made a prediction of a change in Eastern Europe, but this all came to an end with the Red Army's strong entry into Warsaw and Poznan.

The vigorous movement was as fast as it swelled, and the soap bubble burst. The Soviet Red Army forcefully calmed down the situation and frightened those who were ready to move. Anyway, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, which had a lot of ideas for follow-up, died down in an instant. Because the Russians shot too hard.

Because the Soviet Red Army not only quelled the unrest, but also brought it to the Polish Communists. The party also changed its blood. The President of Poland and the first secretary of the Polish Communist Party, Beirut, announced that he had "retired from illness" and returned to Moscow to "recuperate". But in fact, Beirut was not sick at all, and his so-called illness was actually forced by the Soviet Union, and Li Xiaofeng made it clear to him at that time: "Do you want to live?" Or do you want to die? If you want to live, you will honestly report and resign from all positions, and then go to Moscow to recuperate. If you want to die, tomorrow we will announce that you participated in and instigated this Poznan **** conspiracy and shot you. ā€

It's the first time I've seen such a sharp immortal in Beirut, and a certain immortal almost didn't give him a choice, and those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die. At that time, Beirut looked at the KGB special forces around him, swallowed, and signed the resignation report with a trembling hand. After doing all this, he seemed to be drained of all his strength, and sat down in a chair in a daze for a long time.

Beirut was thus withdrawn from the stage of history, and he and his henchmen were taken to Moscow and imprisoned in the KGB Moscow Senior Cadre Retreat. This so-called dry rest center is basically cultivated by people like Beirut, which is actually a high-level prison.

After Li Xiaofeng used thunderous means to solve the Poznan incident, he did not stop immediately. The Poznan affair was also a good opportunity for him, as his previous entanglement with Sverdlov made it difficult for him to reform the Soviet economy. But today on the Poznan issue, the two sides have torn their faces, and Li Xiaofeng does not need to save face for Sverdlov, and using Poland as a testing ground can also avoid domestic resistance. So he simply let his hands and feet go ahead and reformed the Polish economy.

Previously, Poland's economic system was completely copied from the Soviet Union, almost a copy of the Soviet model, which proved to be really not suitable for the actual situation in Poland. The enthusiasm of the peasants was exhausted by the collective farms, and together with the merciless natural disasters, Polish agriculture was almost completely destroyed. As for industry, Beirut also copied the Soviet Union in its entirety, one-sidedly emphasizing the development of heavy industry, and invested almost 70 percent of its resources in this aspect.

As it turned out, Poland had a weak base in heavy industry, produced products that were technologically backward and costly, and had no international market at all. The light industry is struggling because of insufficient investment, and the production capacity is seriously insufficient, so it cannot meet the daily needs of the Polish people. How can the common people have no opinions if it goes on like this for a long time?

Therefore, the first thing Li Xiaofeng did after intervening was to completely abolish the development plan formulated by Beirut when he was in power, and to take a large amount of money and resources out of the bottomless pit of heavy industry and give priority to the development of light industry. As for agriculture, collective farms were abolished and agricultural taxes were exempted in order to increase the peasants' enthusiasm for production.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Xiaofeng directly abolished the highly centralized planned economy and handed back to the market a considerable part of the industries that should not be controlled by the state. And this reform is also known as Andrey's New Economic Policy.

The reason why it is called the NEP is also to silence the domestic opposition, the mentor also worked on the NEP back then, and some aspects of the NEP of a certain immortal are also very similar to the policy of the mentor. This has fundamentally silenced the mouths of those diehards who attack him for engaging in capitalism. You can't always say that Lenin was also a capitalist squirmist. pie, right?

The significance of this reform was far-reaching, not only providing a practical basis for the economic reform of the Soviet Union later, but also driving neighboring countries such as Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Austria to make new attempts.

For example, there has been a debate within the KPD about what path to take in the future. From the point of view of the Industrial Party, it should not be wrong to learn from the experience of the Soviet Union, and the current heavy debt burden of Germany is also suitable for the Soviet Union's economic policy of concentrating on big things. But Lee Poker Necy and Luxembourg do not fully agree with this opinion, having lived in the Soviet Union for many years, they are well aware of the shortcomings of the Soviet model, and if they copy it completely, they may not be able to adapt to the situation in Germany. And the previous German economic model was not suitable for the Soviet Union, but what made Li Poker Nesi and Luxemburg depressed was that they knew that the Soviet model was problematic, but they could not oppose it openly, and opposing the Soviet model was equivalent to opposing the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Lee Pokernesi and Luxembourg can only cautiously learn from the Soviet model and try to move closer to the Soviet Union on the premise of maintaining a market economy. To tell the truth, the past three years have been a miserable toss-up for them, and it was not until a certain immortal announced the New Economic Policy in Poland that the pressure on the two of them was reduced to resist the voices calling for total nationalization.

Li Xiaofeng's experiment in Poland can be said to have opened the way for Central and Eastern European countries to choose a new path of development, and what is particularly commendable is that such a change was not accompanied by social turmoil, let alone reduced the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in Central and Eastern Europe. All in all, it was a useful experiment, but not everyone liked it at the time, Sverdlov, for example, who was quite averse to it.

This disgust is not only because Sverdlov believes that the current economic model of the Soviet Union is the most ideal and the best economic model, but also because a certain immortal has been too faceless to give him before. Under the double influence, he was naturally even more angry.

And it should be noted that 1948 was very close to 1950, and according to conventional experience, in 1949 most of the content of the 1950 congress was actually decided, which means that Sverdlov really did not have much time left. So he's really going to take some real action.

The so-called practical actions are, first, to attack Li Xiaofeng's economic policy as deviant, and second, to rise to the political level and comprehensively negate Li Xiaofeng's political line. So Sverdlov carefully studied the economic policy of a certain immortal, trying to grasp everything that could be used as a lever for attack.

As the old saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. For those who have a heart, it is definitely possible to exploit loopholes and pick bones in eggs. For Sverdlov, for example, Li Xiaofeng's NEP is to take the capitalist road. So he immediately deducted a trip fee for Li Xiaofeng. The hat of the pie.

To be honest, the name of this hat makes him very proud, because this name can be seen at a glance The political attributes. For the proletarians, the capitalist nature is the greatest negation. If the hat is tightly buttoned, then even if you are a monkey, there is no way to turn over!

So in the next politics. At the plenary meeting of the ruling bureau, Sverdlov attacked Li Xiaofeng in a frenzied manner, according to him, a certain immortal is a spy and a traitor who has broken into our party, and he is a bad embryo that is broken from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. You must immediately knock over to the ground and step on 10,000 feet.

It's just very interesting that Li Xiaofeng didn't think much of Sverdlov's vicious attack, he sat there for a long time, and didn't take Sverdlov's attack seriously at all.

This made Sverdlov very puzzled, and he couldn't help but wonder a little, isn't this kind of attack strong enough and not ruthless enough? Or is someone already scared silly?

Sverdlov wished someone was stupid, but he knew it was absolutely impossible, and with someone's urine nature, it was simply impossible to be scared silly. Could it be......

Sverdlov guessed very right, Li Xiaofeng was indeed a little dismissive of Sverdlov's attack, because it was obvious that in politics. He had a certain advantage in the bureau, and in the army. He has a great advantage, and he is not afraid of Xiao Si's attack at all. History tells us that the one with the big fist is the master, and now Li Xiaofeng is the one with the big fist.

Not to mention Sverdlov's talk about capitalising. Pie's discourse and the behavior of buttoning the hat are also very ridiculous, if he Li Xiaofeng is a capitalist. pie, then in politics. Running capital in the governance bureau. I am afraid that the faction will occupy more than half, and there is even a more determined capitalist than him Li Xiaofeng in the Standing Committee. Pie, who? Bukharin.

You must know that Bukharin's silence before was not a big sleep, and in those years he examined various economic data of the Soviet Union in detail, and also studied a large number of economic theories. Then Lao Bu came to the conclusion that there were serious problems in the current economy of the Soviet Union. In other words, there are serious problems with a highly centralized planned economy, and the Soviet Union really attaches too much importance to the "quantity" of planning, that is, as long as the quantity meets the standard, everything is OK. As for whether the products produced are of excellent quality, whether they meet the requirements of users, and whether they can be sold, that is not a matter of concern to manufacturers.

If there has been a serious disconnect between the products and the needs of the people, now even the common people of the Soviet Union know that German goods are better than local ones.

And that's not the worst of it, what's worse is that the planners make decisions on their heads when they set the targets, just to satisfy the pursuit of the world's number one target by a few leaders, and they don't care whether the coal, steel, or electricity produced is really useful. Anyway, everything is based on quantity, everything is for the pursuit of that first, as for the actual needs of society? What is that? Can you get promoted and make a fortune?

Anyway, this kind of head-slapping plan is endless, and the most fatal thing about a highly centralized planned economy is that once the plan is not scientific, then there will be problems in society. A year, two years, or even ten years or eight years is nothing, but what about longer? Twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years later, these problems will erupt in a concentrated manner. According to the figures obtained by Bukharin, according to this method, the USSR will hold out for a maximum of forty years, and after forty years the problems will erupt in a concentrated manner, and then collapse!

After coming to this terrible conclusion, Bukharin, of course, could not sleep at night, at first he suspected that his calculations were wrong, but as he checked again and again, he found that his conclusion was tenable, and if the Soviet Union continued to operate according to this model, the result would be a dead end.

Then Bukharin became depressed, and as a veteran of the October Revolution, although he had a huge dispute with Lenin on the later Brest question, and he also had a huge conflict with his old friend Trotsky on the later economic construction, this could not change Bukharin's love for the country he had helped to build. From the moment he discovered the problem, he began to fanatically find a way to solve the problem, for which he didn't know how many brain cells were sacrificed, so that he died early.

Through extensive research, Bukharin believed that the only way to achieve a highly centralized planned economy was to introduce a mechanism of regulation, and that it could not rely entirely on planning, which was always imperfect and could not deal effectively with the unexpected. In the initial stage of socialism, market regulation is still of great significance.

Of course, Bukharin himself was taken aback when he first came to this conclusion. Because this is a typical capitalist statement, socialism is an ideal society, and not engaging in capitalism is contrary to the original intention of the revolution?

Bukharin struggled with this issue for several years until he returned to the Central Committee and was re-elected to the government. When he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Bureau, he was silently thinking about this issue in his heart. But he didn't dare to confide in it, because it was still a little too shocking. Bukharin silently waited for the right moment, hoping that one day the conclusions of his research would be made public.

Bukharin did not expect that this day would come so early and so suddenly, and after the Poznan incident, Li Xiaofeng categorically announced the implementation of the New Economic Policy in Poland. And this so-called NEP, in Bukharin's view, is actually about restoring the regulating role of the market, that is, he is completely consistent with someone else on this point.

Note that Bukharin was surprised and excited at the discovery of this juncture, because it meant that he was not alone in discovering the economic problems in the Soviet Union, and not only in mind that restoring the regulating role of the market was the solution to the problem. This gives Bukharin the feeling that he is no longer alone exploring the dark road, and you can imagine how happy he is!

Soon, Bukharin took his relevant research report and communicated with Li Xiaofeng, and the two people who had a very ordinary relationship before hit it off this time, and they felt like they only met each other today.

Well, today Sverdlov gave Li Xiaofeng a top buckle. For Bukharin, he felt that if it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's bold attempt, this hat would probably be worn on his head first, which made him admire the decisive ability of a certain immortal even more. Naturally, he immediately stood up and retorted to Sverdlov:

"Walking. Send? What is the capital. Send? Comrade Lenin also implemented the NEP in those years, could it be that Comrade Lenin was also a capitalist trader. Send? Bukharin's tone was full of excitement, and he waved his arms and said loudly: "There has never been only one road to socialism. Responsibilities of Party members...... A highly centralized planned economy can help us get through the difficult period after the October Revolution, but after this period and the initial accumulation has been completed, can we continue to follow the same old path? Comrades, we must see that our enemy is growing and growing rapidly, and if we cannot catch up with us at a faster pace, we will be thrown farther and farther away by the enemy. When the disparity between the forces of the enemy and us reaches a certain level, it will be the time when the enemy will set off another upsurge of opposition to us, and at what price will we have to pay to safeguard our independence and the flame of socialism? ā€

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said impassionedly: "So before the crisis comes, we must start exploring, and we must find a faster way to develop." And I think that Comrade Andrei's exploration in Poland is a very useful attempt, and whether the shoe fits or does not fit must be tried to know that if the Polish experiment can be successful, wouldn't it be good to learn from the advanced experience in it? I very much agree with Comrade Andrei's exploration and experiment, so if we insist on putting a cap on this kind of exploration and experiment. Pie hat, that's one of me! ā€

Bukharin almost sprayed Sverdlov in the face, saying that Xiao Si was still a little blindfolded at this time, because his previous spearhead was aimed at a certain immortal, and it stands to reason that someone should be the first to start fighting back. But how did Bukharin jump out as if he had been stepped on by his tail, looking at his dancing appearance, he seemed to be even more angry and angry than a certain person, and he was about to rush up and fight hard, what kind of trouble is this?

Sverdlov couldn't figure it out, but even more so that he couldn't figure it out was still to come, after Bukharin's speech, Ruzutak, Kuibyshev and other hardcore immortals also jumped out and waved their flags and shouted, and launched an all-round counterattack against him. And with their drive, what fog wind Jevic and the like. Rookies also jumped out to support.

In an instant, Sverdlov became the target of public criticism, and he became a minority that everyone shouted at, not to mention the passivity and embarrassment. This made Sverdlov wonder what was going on? Why is it that he is not pleasing when he clearly upholds the system, but someone who destroys the system has won a lot of support? Nima, you guys are mistaken, you guys are taking the wrong medicine, okay! (To be continued.) )
