After entering 1950, the Soviet Union finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Soviet Union had a tight life in the past four years, because the socialist allies reached out to Big Brother one after another, not to do that, but to make the Soviet Union a little overwhelmed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially in the two years before 1947, when all the natural and man-made disasters were combined, almost the whole of Europe was in shock.

Fortunately, this period of suffering has finally passed, and according to 1949 economic data, with the implementation of new economic reforms in Central and Eastern Europe, and with the departure of the extremely cold and arid climate, agriculture has begun to return to normal, which has finally eased the previously tight supply of food. Although the big guys can't "eat and drink" like they did before the war, they can finally eat and have their stomachs full.

And with a lot of infrastructure repaired, people's lives are basically 70% restored. If nothing else, it should be able to return to pre-war levels within the next five years. It should be said that this is something to be happy about, at least politically. The other members of the ruling bureau were greatly relieved, and only Li Xiaofeng still looked so serious.

For him, there is nothing to be happy about returning to the pre-war level in five years, because the United States has not been idle in the past ten years, and others have maintained a relatively high rate of development, so if the comparison is tantamount to being left far behind by the United States, if the Soviet Union is not interested in fighting for hegemony, it is nothing, but the problem is that the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union are impossible to reconcile, and if you don't fight, people will come to the door, this is no choice, the only thing to do is to grit your teeth and keep up.

So Li Xiaofeng said: "We have made certain achievements in recovering the economy, and we have gradually gotten rid of the most difficult moment and walked out of the predicament. This is something to be happy about, but being happy does not mean that we can relax, we must always be vigilant, and the imperialist will not die out. We must see that the United States, the main imperialist enemy, has developed rapidly in the past decade, and we are already far behind, so in the next five years, what we must do is not only to restore but also to develop, and to comprehensively lead the entire socialist camp to develop and grow......"

Li Xiaofeng set the tone for the next five years in one sentence, if it is the Sverdlov era, I am afraid it is not so simple, after all, Xiao Si is just a pseudo-core, and Li Xiaofeng is different, he is a true core, and the weight of his words is much heavier.

According to the tone set by Li Xiaofeng, the government. The administrative bureau has preliminarily deliberated and approved a new five-year plan, which aims to double the total economic output in the next five to 10 years, not to mention catching up with the United States, but it must not be left behind by the United States.

Unlike in the Xiao Si era, Li Xiaofeng did not step up investment in heavy industry, and the main areas of investment were light industry and agriculture, especially agriculture, and investment will increase exponentially. Because the leaders of the Soviet Union in the past five years have seen a series of problems caused by not having enough to eat, there is nothing more important in the world than to keep the people well fed.

In the economic aspect, he is striving for development, and in the political aspect, Li Xiaofeng has also begun to fully implement his intentions, first of all, he has shelved the overall plan of the so-called world revolution, and now is not the time to continue to open up but to defend it, what the Soviet Union needs is digestion and consolidation, and continuing to engage in expansion is only a dead end.

In Li Xiaofeng's words, the Soviet Union will move to active defense in the next five years, minimizing direct conflict with the United States, except for key hot spots. For this opinion, the political . There are also some voices of disagreement within the ruling bureau, and some people believe that the Soviet Union has not fallen behind in the previous struggle with the United States, and that it can always take advantage, which shows that the strength of the Soviet Union is still above that of the United States, and how can the superior side bow to the backward side?

Fortunately, there is a class of people in politics. Governance and Neutrality. There were not many Central Committees, and most people knew that the previous victory of the Soviet Union was not a reaction of real strength, but a victory of technology and skill. It is possible to win once or twice, but clever power is always inferior to hard power, and once the hard power of the United States reaches a certain level, it is to look for abuse.

What's more, now that the Soviet Union has occupied all the territory that should be occupied, it is time to sit down and adjust, and the rest of the places are either not capable of interference by the Soviet Union, or the Soviet Union is not interested, and it doesn't matter if the Americans are to stir up.

Soon the United States also sensed the Soviet Union's foreign policy adjustments, and they found that the Soviet Union's aggressiveness had weakened, and many issues no longer seemed so aggressive. And this change makes Americans happy.

In the eyes of the United States, this is the best evidence of the "weakness" of the Soviet Union, and since the Soviet Union is weakened, then the United States must take the initiative to regain lost territory. And the Americans soon took action personally, first of all, Vietnam, which had previously fallen into a two-point situation because of the stalemate between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the Communist Party was in the north and Ngo Dinh Diem in the south.

And the United States, perceiving the changes in the Soviet Union, decided to first throw stones in Vietnam to ask for directions, why Vietnam? Not only is there an agent of the United States, but more importantly, Vietnam's geographical location is also relatively important, and Vietnam's territory is long and narrow from north to south, almost along the "line" of the South China Sea, with Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines can "surround" the South China Sea and block the exit of the communist forces to the south. If combined with the help of the Japanese island chain, it can be said that both the Soviet Union and China exports are extremely limited. What's more, taking Vietnam can also threaten the southwestern hinterland of China, and it is completely possible to use the remnants of the People's Party****!

Therefore, the Americans immediately had a different kind of interest in Vietnam, and first signed a mutual defense treaty with the Ngo Dinh Diem regime, through which Cam Ranh Bay was leased as a naval base, and the aircraft carriers of the Seventh Fleet drove directly under the nose of Huaxia, and they could show off their might in front of Huaxia when they went out.

In July 1950, the U.S. Congress approved a batch of military and economic aid of up to $300 million to help "establish a new order of democracy and freedom in Vietnam."

That is, from July 1950 onwards, the military friction between the north and the south of Vietnam suddenly increased more than tenfold, and the original small friction of the type of misfire turned into a direct armed confrontation on the military demarcation line, and the entire battalion and even the entire regiment of the two sides exchanged fire, and the quarrel was inextricable.

And this put great pressure on the Viet Cong side, after all, because of the previous stalemate with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's military and economic aid remained at a very low level, which made the Viet Cong's attempt to unify the whole country go south to bankrupt, which made the leaders of the Viet Cong angry, as if the Soviet Union was making the bad and the Soviet Union owed them.

And Li Xiaofeng is a big guy with a big temper, he also knows that this thing was you playing hard with him back then, and he will be harder than you, especially after he was successfully elected at this conference, when he found that the Vietnamese side only sent a short congratulatory telegram in the form of an official eight shares, and did not even send a special envoy, he was unhappy for sure, you must know that even Yugoslavia, which had a very bad relationship with the Soviet Union, sent people, and Vietnam did not say anything at all, what kind of attitude is this? And what does that mean?

Since the Viet Cong did not give him face, Li Xiaofeng would not give face to the Viet Cong, so when Ngo Dinh Diem stepped up his military provocation and seemed so impatient, he simply pretended not to see it, and there was a kind of Viet Cong who would not come to beg and carry forward his backbone to his home.

At first, the Viet Cong still waited slowly, they always felt that the Soviet Union would not ignore them, after all, everyone was in the socialist camp, and they couldn't see death without help, right? Who would have thought that when the military conflict on the demarcation line became more and more intense day by day, the Soviet side still did not say anything, which made Vietnam a little unable to sit still.

In desperation, they had no choice but to ask the ambassador to go to the Soviets and ask for assistance. The ambassador of the Viet Cong was received by Kuibyshev, as the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, he mainly dealt with government affairs, of course, this does not mean that he can make decisions about everything, the prime minister of the Soviet Union does not have so much power, and in the end it is only the government that has the power to decide. Governing the situation, there is no government. He could not promise anything with the consent of the governing authorities.

And Kuibyshev is not stupid, he knows very well that Li Xiaofeng does not treat the class comrades in Vietnam very well, and his senses are not very good to them, so in the face of the Vietnamese ambassador's request for help, this person is also playing Tai Chi, and there is no substantial help.

And when the Viet Cong authorities got the news, they were also dumbfounded, they really didn't expect the Soviet Union and Li Xiaofeng to hold such a grudge, and they didn't care about the overall situation? Don't talk about class friendship anymore?

Anyway, the Viet Cong authorities were angry and anxious, but there was nothing they could do. I can only turn to Huaxia to cry, saying that the big brother of the Soviet Union is too unrighteous and not interesting at all. Taizu and Zhou Gong were also speechless for a while, first of all, they had learned that a certain immortal did not appreciate the leadership of the Viet Cong, and secondly, when they were elected this time, Vietnam did not do enough to be atmospheric, what can you do if you send a special envoy, not to mention anything else, without the help of the Soviet Union before, you Vietnam can have today, and it is still the same thing to make an envoy for the old friend. It's good that you don't even send people, isn't this raising the bar and shouting? Besides, if you have a kind of psychological preparation to bear the consequences if you do this, now you panic as soon as people make a move, what is this?

Anyway, Taizu and Zhou Gong are also very bad, no matter what, they are all former comrades, and it is not easy to deal with this matter. After thinking about it, Taizu could only send Zhou Gong to the Soviet Union.

For the arrival of Zhou Gong, Li Xiaofeng still gave a very high courtesy, and Kuibyshev personally went to the airport to greet him (Li Xiaofeng actually wanted to go, but diplomatic occasions pay attention to identity equality, and Zhou Gong, as the head of government, can only be received by the head of government, and a certain immortal is the head of state is not suitable to go, otherwise how will Taizu visit the Soviet Union in the future?) ）。 Moreover, Zhou Gong was received by Li Xiaofeng as soon as he held talks with Kuibyshev, and the two sides were also open and honest during the talks.

"It's not that the Soviet Union will not save itself when it sees death, and it's not that I hold grudges, but that the Soviet Union's future foreign policy has been adjusted, the time for the world revolution is not yet ripe, and the economic pressure on the relevant countries of the entire socialist camp is also relatively great, and the most important thing for us at this stage is to restore and develop, and restore and enhance our own strength as soon as possible. When the strength is mature, the world revolution will be launched. Therefore, on the issue of Vietnam, the Soviet Union decided to actively defend, as long as the United States and Ngo Dinh Diem did not cross the red line, as long as they did not try to eliminate the Viet Cong, the Soviet Union would not take the initiative to intervene...... I believe that at this stage, the Vietnamese comrades should first do their own work, on the one hand, make good preparations for defense, and on the other hand, develop as soon as possible, instead of blindly asking comrades of other classes for help, after all, the current situation in various countries is not particularly ideal, and the Vietnamese comrades should also understand the difficulties of all of us! ”

Zhou Gong understood the attitude of the Soviet Union and a certain immortal, and the meaning was very simple, the Viet Cong would never make a move until it was a matter of life and death. This is unwavering and will not change.

After the Viet Cong learned the true attitude of the Soviet Union from Zhou Gong, they could not help but feel distressed. In fact, turning to China this time was also a kind of temptation to the Soviet Union. The Viet Cong has always been obsessed with going south, this time Ngo Dinh Diem took the initiative to make trouble, they felt that it was an opportunity, they thought that the Soviet Union would fight against the United States-for-tat, who would have thought that the Soviet Union would shrink its eggs, this one disappointed them.

The Viet Cong's dream was shattered, and it is conceivable that in the future, unless their survival was threatened, the Soviet Union would turn a blind eye. This means they have to think longer.

At the same time, the Americans are getting more and more emboldened, seeing that the Soviet Union has no reaction, they tacitly believe that the Soviet Union has given up Vietnam, and since the Soviet Union has given up, naturally they have no reason to go further!

So in August 1950, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group appeared near the Gulf of Tonkin and began to send carrier-based aircraft to bomb North Vietnam. The first U.S. Air Force bombers stationed in Thailand also appeared over North Vietnam, and although the scale of the bombing was not particularly large, it was an obvious test to see how the Soviet Union reacted.

So what was the reaction of the USSR? Li Xiaofeng didn't react, because he had already seen through the Americans' thoughts, and Yang Key wanted to attack North Vietnam and prepare to threaten the great southwest of China, which was about to turn into a strategic offensive.

To tell the truth, the Americans chose to carry out a strategic offensive in Vietnam, and Li Xiaofeng was happy to see it, because in history Vietnam was a quagmire, and the Americans were choked enough, and now Vietnam can still be a quagmire. In this case, the Americans are willing to be beaten, and the Soviet Union is also willing to trick people, isn't it an instant hit. What's more, you can also take this opportunity to knock the Vietnamese who are a little ignorant of the so-called, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, Li Xiaofeng also knew that he had to be cautious in doing so, because the stability of North Vietnam was related to the security of China's great southwest, and the Soviet Union still had to discuss with China on this issue...... (To be continued.) )
