472 Speaking of diplomacy

The conflict between Stilwell and Jiang has not been a day or two, and this time it has attracted a general outburst. If Stilwell had gotten the way to go, the best option for the United States was to get rid of Chiang and replace him with a proxy, and even President Roosevelt approved his proposal, but set a deadline. And within this time limit, in the end, Stilwell failed to make up his mind to really kill Jiang, which gave the old Jiang a chance to replace Stilwell with a blow.

Of course, all this has not happened for the time being, because the Battle of Yuxianggui has just begun, although Tang Ranpao has already begun to work thousands of miles, but Stilwell has not completely given up on scraping the army at that time, and is still looking forward to **** being able to rise up.

Especially in mid-July, when the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army launched a series of offensive operations in North China, Shandong, and Northern Jiangsu. Stilwell also fantasized that the **** would also turn around and fight back on the front line of Henan and Hubei and fight a comprehensive victory.

However, his hope or extravagant hope will not last long, because when Jiang heard that the **** began a counterattack, he was really overjoyed, he wished that the **** and the devil would fight to the death, and it was better to lose both. Even the bald head has begun to fantasize about the scene of scraping the army and suppressing bandits like entering a no-man's land after the **** strength is greatly damaged.

Of course, this must be an extravagant hope, the army that can be recruited and fought well is not raised, look at the so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry at the end of the Ming Dynasty, how much money did the Ming Dynasty spend, and what was the result? Unable to resist foreign humiliation, he became the vanguard of the Qing soldiers stealing the Central Plains.

It is true that the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army will indeed suffer certain losses if they fight hard against the devils at this time, but we must also realize that in the past, the combat mode of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army was mainly guerrilla warfare, even if they obtained a certain amount of heavy weapons with the assistance of the Soviet Union and received a certain amount of regular training, but in essence. This unit's ability to attack fortified positions and annihilate the battle is insufficient. This deficiency does not mean that training can be solved, and only by truly changing the mode of operation and allowing the commanders and fighters to accumulate experience can we improve themselves.

And now there are Japanese soldiers to accompany them to practice, isn't it good. If both the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army can handle it, after Jiang provokes a civil war in the future. Will you still be afraid of the so-called scraping army?

On the contrary, Jiang seems to have preserved his strength, but his soldiers are honestly like that, except for a few so-called main forces and expeditionary forces that can fight a little, the others are not good. It's okay to help wave the flag and shout, but once it comes to adversity, it will soon collapse. It's a trade-off process. It seems that Lao Jiang has taken advantage today, but he will inevitably repay the debt in the future.

Of course, military issues were not the focus of Li Xiaofeng's trip to China. To be honest, he is not good at fighting. His main job was to solve political problems. What political issues? Of course, the question of cooperation between the USSR and China in the future.

Historically, the Soviet Union and China had a honeymoon period, but the main reason was that Khrushchev had political demands, so he would be so friendly. And as soon as the bald man gained a firm foothold, you see, all kinds of contradictions between the two sides immediately broke out, and the so-called comrades and brothers immediately became enemies like the sea.

Li Xiaofeng has always believed that it is fragile for two countries to come together by relying only on ********. The spirit is always more material, and only the national interests of the Soviet Union and China can be highly compatible. This comrade-brother relationship can last for a long time. Look at the United Kingdom and the United States in later generations, why do these two smell so similar? None of them. National interests are aligned. Once one day the national interests of these two countries are not aligned, it is normal to turn around every minute.

So at this time, were the national interests of the USSR and China completely identical? If the Kuomintang represents China, then there is really no interest at all. Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng is a traverser, knowing that Jiang will not be able to stumble for a few days, and the future Huaxia will inevitably belong to ****. And what about the relationship of interests between the USSR and the ****?

That's more consistent, of course. This is not to say that there are no contradictions. There are still contradictions between Britain and the United States, not to mention China and Russia, which were once enemies. There is a similar national sentiment between the two countries: some nationalists in China believe that Russia was the country that invaded the most Chinese territory in those years, and that this account should be calculated, and if Sino-Soviet friendship is to be mentioned, then the Soviet Union must pay off the old debt. If the Soviet Union does not pay off its old debts, it will be a dead heart. Then you have to die.

In the same way, there is another similar sentiment in the Soviet Union, this part of the people think that the Far East of the Soviet Union is huge and sparsely populated, and the population base of China is really scary, and now they are "helping" the development of China.

In the eyes of these Great Russians, helping China is dangerous, it is to foster a potential enemy, and it must not be done.

Li Xiaofeng does not want to comment on whether these two kinds of thinking are right or wrong, because there is no right or wrong in politics, and it is superficial to evaluate politics by right and wrong. Politically, there has always been only interests, and from the perspective of interests, these two ideas are used to harm national interests under the pretext of safeguarding national interests. It is a typical short-sightedness that cannot distinguish the primary and secondary interests of interests.

It is true that Lao Maozi was the main black hand in carving up China, and his appearance was not ordinarily ugly. As the descendants of the younger generations, of course, we must keep in mind the national shame and work hard, and if we can regain the lost territory, it will naturally be more ideal. The question is, can you do it?

It is easy to say that it is hard to work hard, but in fact it is very difficult to do. has no industrial base, it is difficult to even eat enough, and I still want to reverse the top power in World War II, which is the starting point, YY novels have this routine.

There may be comrades who want to say, in North Korea, we have not done joint ****, afraid of a ball. The problem is that the Korean War was just a special example of a special period, and if you think about it from another angle, if there was no Soviet Union that could wrestle with the US imperialists, would the Korean War still be on that scale? Will the war be confined to North Korea? It is difficult to say whether there is even a North Korean issue, or even whether the US imperialists will personally intervene during the Chinese Civil War.

Objectively speaking, the Soviet Union did not play a good role in the outbreak of the Korean War, and it was a typical speculative mentality. But it is undeniable that without the Soviet Union, the outcome of this war would not have been the same.

Further on, Soviet industrial aid to China was crucial. Of course, some comrades want to say that this is a loan. We gave the money. The question is, back then, could you have asked the US imperialists for loans to develop industries, especially defense industries such as two bombs and one satellite? Look at the current Wanwan, South Korea, Japan and even Israel, whose hands are the dog chains of their defense industry in their hands? Did US imperialism allow these lackeys to be on an equal footing?

A dog is always a dog, and you should never think of being on an equal footing with your owner, even if the dog has a very good life. That won't work either. Just imagine, if there is no **** rise in the future, what will be the status of Wanwan, Japan, and South Korea, once the crisis comes, when the big American imperialist dogs have no surplus food, the first thing to do is to kill the dog and eat meat.

Looking back at the relationship between the Soviet Union and China back then, it is not denied that Big Brother was a little overbearing in relevant aspects, and sometimes he was quite unkind. But did Huaxia have a choice back then? Some comrades are going to talk about it again. If you are not pro-Soviet or pro-American, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! For example, if you want to engage in a non-aligned policy, isn't it good to learn from the third brother?

Again, if China wants to rise, modernization is an inevitable road. And in order to modernize, you must first industrialize, without the help of big hooligans, industrialization does not say where the money comes from, and the technical people will not sell it to you. One has no money and the other has no technology. The industrialization of the ghost! Do you think you can wait for the next Great Depression to pick up the leaks, as in the USSR? Sorry, that's going to take a long time. What's more, the Soviet Union back then still had some old bottoms left over from the tsarist era. What does Huaxia have? 40,000,000 mouths waiting to be fed! As for the third brother, more than half a century has passed, where is its industrialization?

If you want to rise again, and if you want to pull out a dime without paying a little price, there is no such good thing when the gods come. Anyway, the world is so simple, and if you want to reap it, you must pay a price. If you want Soviet assistance, you have to be friendly with others. In the same way, it is the same to take refuge in US imperialism, look at Japan, South Korea, American GIs squatting in your house. From time to time, it feels good to be a strong girl and a flower girl, right?

Nationalism is really a double-edged sword, and it is advantageous to strengthen national cohesion in times of adversity. However, indulging nationalism in international relations, making nationalism the mainstream, and calculating the affairs of the 18 generations of the ancestors of the emperor and the Han Dynasty is probably not far off.

Besides, those who always talk about the old things of their ancestors are only broken down. Because as long as the settlement is broken, it will be foaming at the mouth, talking about how Lao Tzu's ancestors were back then, and how awesome Lao Tzu's ancestors were back then.

Does it make sense? The more people who worship the ancients, the more unsatisfactory they are today. No matter how developed your ancestors are, that is also your ancestor's ability, and it has a dime to do with you? If you want to live your current life, you have to work your own. You just shouted "Outer Khinganling, Siberia, and Lake Baikal are all my ancestors'" and yelled "Blowing up the Divine Toilet and Washing Tokyo with Blood", and people will not bird you, who the hell will make your descendants and grandchildren not fight and keep the family business of your ancestors, but you will seem incompetent.

It is not uncommon for a great family that has been prominent in history to fall in one fell swoop. If you can't adapt to the times, you will be eliminated by the times. It is indeed true to say that Lao Maozi is an aggressor and a robber who plunders the most land in China, but it is said that you should not cooperate with the robbers and should not be friendly with the robbers, otherwise this is a traitor. That's debatable.

There are not many tones like this, and there is not a general market. But why don't the patriotic generals want to think about it, what is the most important thing for China to rise again? Isn't it food for backbone? Death from starvation is a big deal, isn't it?

In Li Xiaofeng's view, the goods that don't eat the food that come to them are pure fools, idiots, and fools. So what's the rise? It seems to be a backbone approach, but in fact it is stupid. According to this kind of thinking, Han Xin shouldn't have endured the humiliation of his crotch back then, and directly drew his sword to kill that thing.

What's more, if you don't eat the food that comes from you, how glorious it can be to starve to death. Let me ask the young generals, do you think the beggars who starved to death and froze to death have backbone? Are you willing to be such a person?

Of course, it does not mean that it is encouraged to eat the food that comes from it, and "eating the food that comes from it" is not the goal, but a means that cannot be taken. This must be clearly distinguished, and if you can't eat the food you come for the rest of your life, it will really be over.

Besides, the conditions offered by the Soviet Union back then could not be regarded as food for the sake of the country, let alone the loss of power and humiliation of the country. On the whole, the various agreements between China and the Soviet Union were fair and just, so why did the outbreak of national integrity inevitably turn against the Soviet Union?

It's never a good thing to go to extremes, and it's not a good thing not to hit the south wall and not look back. If a person wants to live in this world and get nourishment, he must be flexible, and national righteousness is one thing. But don't make the general sense of the nation narrow. Why can't you cooperate with the enemy, as long as it is in the interests of the country? What's more, there is no eternal enemy in this world.

In the final analysis, don't take your ancestors too seriously, you are living for yourself, not for your ancestors. You can't lose an inch of the land left by your ancestors, so don't you change a word of the rules and regulations left by your ancestors? Time shifts. At this time and that time, it is enough to grasp the general direction and principle, and patriotism is also about ways and methods, isn't it?

Besides, in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi, today's compromise and patience have not come to the time when the Sun Sect will glorify the ancestors. At this time, he continued to turn over the old accounts and the old imperial calendar, biting that point, and leaving the more dangerous enemies alone, but turning his face with partners who have a basis for cooperation. Isn't this a foolish act of digging one's own grave?

To put it mildly, this is called self-extinction. Originally, the ******** environment in China was bad enough, you didn't have enough trouble, and the emperor and the Han people were fired on all sides, this is not patriotism, this is the real traitor!

The ancients still knew about long-distance and close attacks, and Taizu also said that if you win over most of the attacks and a handful, **** will not end well. Diplomacy must be principled, but it must also be flexible. Diplomacy with a moment of joy and anger. There are many harms and no benefits.

At the end of the day, diplomacy has to be my main thing. Once we have made the rules and regulations of national interests clear, we will follow these rules and regulations. You can't be praised by people today and say two nice words, you think this is a friend or a brother. You can't just say two cruel words and you think it's an enemy. If you want to conduct diplomacy according to this logic, you will really be trapped. It's not even diplomacy, it's just ordinary people living in the world. If you follow this logic, I'm afraid you won't have a good life.

Adhere to a basic criterion, that is, to ensure that the national interests of the subject are not harmed. Sometimes there are some minor small profits, and you have to let it when you should let it, who will do the things that have no interests in these years? I want to eat alone as a family. The benefits are all stuffed into your pocket, and it's impossible to drop!

For example, Li Xiaofeng's meeting with Taizu this time is not only to talk about assistance, but also to make commitments from the **** side. First of all, it is necessary to support the idea of the "CIS" and make a commitment to join the "CIS" after the establishment of a new China.

In addition, what Li Xiaofeng still needs to implement is the territorial issue, although this issue was also discussed during Zhou Gong's visit to Moscow before, but it was only a role in throwing bricks and stones. The two sides have only talked about the details, but they have not discussed the details, and they still need to implement specific issues. For example, how to solve the problems left over from the past requires concessions on both sides. Because the boundaries drawn in accordance with the earlier treaties are in some places really vague, each side has its own set of understandings and interpretations. In order to avoid future unpleasantness on these issues, they must be resolved before they erupt.

The exchanges between Li Xiaofeng and Taizu were generally pleasant, and although there were inevitably arguments, they were not harmful, and the two sides were still able to exchange views calmly and openly, find a specific solution to the problem, and try their best to satisfy both sides without suffering losses.

This negotiation took Li Xiaofeng a lot of energy, and it lasted for a whole month before he came up with a perfect plan for handling the border issue between the two countries. Of course, this does not mean that all negotiations are completed, it is impossible. This programme is only a general principle, or a general outline for dealing with border issues. In the future, after the establishment of New China, the negotiation delegations of the two sides will conduct detailed negotiations in accordance with this general outline, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in a few years.

There may be comrades who want to say, aren't you instigating **** to fight a civil war? Now that the government is in charge, how can it be the turn of **** to talk to you about the Soviet Union?

The question is, does the Scrape People's Party have this interest in talking? These people are now busy accumulating strength to prepare for a civil war, where can they manage this kind of negotiation? Back then, in order to fight the civil war, Ryukyu and Outer Mongolia could say that they didn't want it, but Lao Jiang was really not ordinary generous in this regard.

And if the Soviet Union talks to the Scraping People's Party, then the conditions given will definitely not be so favorable, **** is a class brother, the Scraping People's Party is a class enemy, if a certain immortal treats the enemy so favorably, he must be sprayed to death when he returns to the Soviet Union.

What's more, both Li Xiaofeng and Taizu know very well that the civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War may be inevitable. Look at Lao Jiang's posture, isn't it clear what he wants to do?

And now Li Xiaofeng is talking with Taizu and **** high-level leaders, that is, to prevent Lao Jiang from fighting a civil war. If the Soviet Union and **** can reach a broad agreement, then in the future Chinese civil war, the Soviet Union will not remain neutral as it was historically. There is every reason and responsibility to safeguard the interests of class brothers, because if the **** can't come to power, the previous ones are not in vain.

Some comrades will soon say that if the Soviet Union supports ****, then the US imperialists will also support Lao Chiang, isn't this the same for nothing? How can it be considered for nothing? Although the historical US imperialism did not directly intervene in the Chinese Civil War, there was still support for Lao Chiang, and those US weapons and loans were fake?

And the biggest shortcoming of **** is the lack of such a strong support, with the military assistance of the Soviet Union, **** will grow faster, with **** combat effectiveness, I am afraid it will be faster to beat the Kuomintang, I am afraid it will not take three years, Lao Jiang will be pills, and this time neither **** nor the Soviet Union will give Lao Jiang the opportunity to flee the island as a-stirring stick...... (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm probably going to be scolded again in this chapter......
