Taizu and Zhou Gong had a very good relationship with Ho Chi Minh, and they were also surprised when they learned of Ho Chi Minh's troubles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause judging from their dealings with a certain immortal, a certain immortal is still very internationalist, but why do they treat Vietnam differently?
As the prime minister and foreign minister, Zhou Gong was in Moscow at this time to negotiate a new round of aid to China with the Soviet side, so he immediately found a certain immortal to find out.
"I treat the comrades in China and the comrades in Vietnam equally, and there is no such thing as who I like and who I don't like. Aid to the revolutionary actions of comrades of any class must be in line with reality, and the revolution in Vietnam has not yet reached that point, so naturally the scope of aid should not be blindly expanded. After all, class comrades all over the world are counting on the Soviet Union, and the capabilities of the Soviet Union are limited. For example, the revolution in China has reached a mature stage, and naturally the Soviet Union will do its best to help you win the victory...... I have always advocated acting in accordance with objective reality, and the objective conditions in China are ripe, while the objective conditions in Vietnam are not yet mature, and that is as simple as that! ”
Zhou Gong nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So if the conditions for revolution in Vietnam are further mature, the Soviet Union will also increase its aid?" ”
"Of course," Li Xiaofeng nodded without changing his face, and then said, "But now it seems that the revolution in Vietnam is very difficult." U.S. imperialism is still very strong. The Communist camp is still in a difficult period of recovery and adjustment. The comrades in Eastern Europe are still very nervous, and the Chinese economy is still very tight, and China also needs to be restored and rebuilt, and all this needs the support of the Soviet Union, and I would like to ask the comrades to understand the difficulties of the Soviet Union......
Zhou Gong was silent, and a certain immortal said everything for this part, and he didn't continue to speak for Vietnam. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "What is your country's judgment of this stage of the Vietnamese Revolution?" What kind of outcome should we help our Vietnamese comrades to achieve at this time? ”
Li Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, Zhou Gong deserved to be Zhou Gong, this question was asked, and he didn't mind showing his hole cards: "First ensure the fruits of the revolution in northern Vietnam, and seek the reunification of the north and south of Vietnam." ”
Zhou Gong pondered for a moment, he knew that this result was far from Ho Chi Minh's expectations, Ho Chi Minh must have hoped to complete reunification as soon as possible, but now the Soviet Union was inclined to divide Vietnam in two and divide and rule with the United States. To tell the truth, this method may be beneficial to the Soviet Union and China, but it is very unfavorable to Vietnam.
As a person who has experienced the national independence and liberation movement, Zhou Gong knows how difficult the process is and how difficult the oppressed people are, and he knows that Ho Chi Minh has always been striving for this goal. But now, Ho Chi Minh's biggest reliance has chosen not to support it, which is a huge blow in a sense, and even tantamount to betrayal.
All the Communists have always believed that the class brothers of the world are one family, that the class brothers should help each other, love each other, and support each other, and that the Soviet Union, which had won the victory of the revolution and had the best economic conditions, should naturally help other class brothers to embark on the road to happiness together. But now the Soviet Union even said that it did not have such a capability, and hoped that the brothers of other classes would understand.
To be honest, including Zhou Gong himself, he couldn't figure it out. He has been to the Soviet Union many times, not only to Moscow, but also to Leningrad and several other large and medium-sized cities of the Soviet Union. Judging from what he knew, the economic situation of the Soviet Union was still very good, and even the life of its common people was a paradise compared to that of the Chinese people. So can't the Soviet class brothers in heaven support the other class brothers in hell? Can't you just tighten your belt a little?
Speaking from the heart, Zhou Gong really didn't understand. Of course, Li Xiaofeng also saw that Zhou Gong didn't understand, but he was willing to talk to Zhou Gong about it: "Comrade Zhou, maybe you think that the living standard of the Soviet Union is very high, and the Soviet people are too rich. Under these circumstances, why didn't the Soviet Union exercise a little restraint and come up with more supplies to help its brothers of other classes? I can understand your thoughts, but I can't agree with you. In the final analysis, the revolutionary struggle of any country can only rely on itself, and this is true of the Soviet Union and the same is true of China. I believe that even without the support of the Soviet Union, China would have been able to achieve the victory of the revolution, and the only difference was that it was only a matter of time. ”
After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "There are also two old sayings in Huaxia, it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself and one's own brothers to settle accounts. I think that's quite right to be in the community. In the initial stage of communism, we could not reach the level of communism, and since this is the case, we must stress economic laws and science. The Soviet Union could support its brothers of other classes, but this did not mean that the brothers of other classes had reason to wait for the assistance of the Soviet Union to carry out the revolution and live their lives. And what if there was no USSR? You don't have to be revolutionary and don't live? There is no such reason! The revolution is always its own business, and it is impossible to rely on heaven and earth, parents and brothers. ”
As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng stretched out a finger: "This is still the first point." The second point is that the Soviet people's support for other class brothers is based on class friendship, not that the Soviet people owe their class brothers, and that they should give more when they have more spare strength and less when they have less spare strength. I am resolutely opposed to the kind of tightening of the belly to do support, what is the goal of us revolutionaries? It's about giving our people a better life, not for them to tighten their belts and live a life of scarcity! Poverty is not a community. It must be made clear that communism is not communism. Therefore, as the leader of the Soviet Union, my historical mission is to make the Soviet people live a good life, not revolution for the sake of revolution, let alone revolution for slogans! We revolutionaries must be practical, and we must also benefit the common people, and if we deviate from this, what is the point of such a revolution? ”
Zhou Gong was stunned, because what a certain immortal said was really far from the mainstream opinion, according to the mainstream opinion, the revolution always comes first, but everything is sacrificed for the revolution, and the revolution is the rule of heaven and must not be violated. But now a certain immortal said that the revolution is not the first, the first thing is to let the common people live a good life. As for whether or not to support the class brothers, it is all voluntary, doesn't this subtext say that it is okay not to give it?
Well, the impact of that statement was a bit big. When leaving the office of a certain immortal, Zhou Gong's mind was dizzy, and for Ho Chi Minh, who was looking forward to a good result, Zhou Gong didn't know how to speak for a while.
"The results are not ideal?" Ho Chi Minh asked worriedly.
Zhou Gong smiled bitterly, not only is it not ideal, it is simply to reshape the three views. According to the meaning of a certain immortal, Ho Chi Minh had to be completely desperate. After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Gong still said: "The comrades in the Soviet Union are also in difficulty now, the class brothers all over the world are reaching out to them, and their abilities are limited, and we can only try to understand." ”
Ho Chi Minh was really disappointed, he did not expect that after so much work and so many methods, in the end it was still the same result, and this result can basically be said to be very difficult for Vietnam to achieve national reunification and achieve revolutionary victory in the future. How did he explain this result to the comrades in the country who were looking forward to it?
Zhou Gong also saw that Ho Chi Minh was very depressed, and he did not have much to comfort Ho Chi Minh. After a long silence, Zhou Gongcai said: "You don't have to be too disappointed, the comrades in the Soviet Union did not say that they would not give aid to Vietnam at all, but that there was no more aid, so let me consult the chairman and see if I can give you more assistance......
Ho Chi Minh was moved, of course he knew how difficult it was for Huaxia to be now, and how difficult it was to lend a helping hand in such a difficult situation! Ho Chi Minh said gratefully with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, on behalf of the Vietnamese people, I thank you for your selfless assistance!" ”
Yes, Ho Chi Minh was moved by Zhou Gong, and even he felt that Huaxia was the real class comrade, and the Soviet Union was obviously in a better situation, but it was unwilling to give more aid to help Vietnam, what kind of big brother is this.
Anyway, this time Ho Chi Minh's opinion on the Soviet Union is quite big, but for Li Xiaofeng, Vietnam has an opinion, what is the big deal? Eating dates for nothing is too big, and this Nima is dead. He will never get used to Vietnam's problems, and if you have the ability, you should not ask for the assistance of the Soviet Union to fight for yourself! Nima, who came to beg and became an uncle.
Of course, Li Xiaofeng did not interfere too much in Huaxia's decision to expand support for Vietnam, and there are some things that people may not be able to hear or be willing to listen to. If the shoes don't fit, you'll have to try it yourself. It took a few years or more to look back at Vietnam, and Huaxia knew whether or not to give these aids.
After sending Hanako to the door, Li Xiaofeng had a more important problem to solve, that is, the increasingly troublesome Yugoslav problem. Sverdlov's procrastination made things bigger and bigger, and more and more out of control. Now the Soviet Union has a bit of a hard time riding a tiger.
Li Xiaofeng knew that the Yugoslav issue had to be resolved, and if it dragged on, this ghost place would really become the Vietnam War of the Soviet Union. Sverdlov cannot be allowed to drag on any longer, and Yugoslavia must be resolved quickly and with a knife.
Soon Li Xiaofeng proposed: "We must expand the military operation in Yugoslavia as soon as possible to force Tito to submit, this is already unbearable and procrastinating, we must make a decision!" ”
Sverdlov was not prepared to delay this time, but he felt that expanding the military operation would be tantamount to completely eliminating Tito and solving the problem once and for all. But this is again a political one. The other members of the governing bureau are not happy. The effect of taking out Tito is too bad, and if it does, won't the Soviet Union become the new imperialism?
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng's opinion was: "Strike at Yugoslavia from the air, destroy its war potential and will to resist, and promote peace!" ”
Sverdlov was naturally opposed, he thought that either a full-scale war should be launched, or the status quo should be maintained, and the air force would be sent to bomb it.
Only this time Li Xiaofeng was very resolute and stubbornly carried out his opinion, and soon the Soviet Foreign Ministry began to issue a final warning to Yugoslavia: "The Yugoslav People's Army must stop harassing Kosovo and Macedonia, otherwise the CIS will take decisive measures to maintain peace in the region." We advise the Yugoslav government to pull back from the precipice, otherwise all the responsibility will be borne by you! ”
The declaration of the Soviet Union was almost equivalent to war, and although Tito did not suffer anything from his dealings with the Soviet Union in the past two years, he did not take advantage of it. According to the original rhythm, Yugoslavia should have started post-war reconstruction, but the breakdown of relations with the Soviet Union has prevented the reconstruction work from being carried out normally. At this time, Yugoslavia was still in a quasi-war state, coupled with the fact that the European economy had been in a mess in the past two years and the climate was abnormal, so that Yugoslavia, which depended on the sky for food, suffered serious economic difficulties.
To tell the truth, Tito is also an unusual headache for such a state, but the problem is that he has almost no room to retreat, and he can only hold on to the end. The only thing he could count on was that the Soviet Union could not hold on to the withdrawal of troops from Kosovo, and who would have thought that what was waiting for was not the withdrawal of Soviet troops but the expansion of military operations.
Beginning in February 1948, the Soviet Union began to bomb strategic facilities in Yugoslavia, initially with bridges, roads, and assembled troops, and gradually expanded to power plants and various industrial and mining enterprises.
Tito ordered the Yugoslav Air Force to fight back, but it was obvious that the Yugoslav Air Force was too weak, and a small number of propeller fighters imported from the United States were no match for the Soviet Union situational jet fighters.
And for the Red Army, the air raids against Yugoslavia were more like a training operation for a new technological war. In this air attack, in order to reduce the international pressure caused by civilian deaths, the Red Air Force invested a large number of guided weapons. For example, laser-guided bombs and television-guided missiles.
The effectiveness of new guided weapons is quite impressive, basically five to ten laser-guided bombs can destroy a reinforced concrete bridge. In World War II, in order to achieve the same effect, a regiment of dive bombers had to be sent in repeatedly to bomb, and sometimes when the enemy's anti-aircraft fire network was too strong, it was necessary to invest more aircraft and pay heavy casualties.
Of course, in fact, laser-guided bombs and television-guided missiles were not new to the Red Army, and were used in small quantities at the end of World War II, but the effect at that time was not stable. It wasn't until the advent of a new generation of lasers that the hit rate skyrocketed.
The real surprising result of the Red Army in this campaign was, on the contrary, the sea. Four Air Force Il-28 bombers fired eight P-10 anti-ship missiles and sank two Yugoslav 10,000-ton cargo ships and an escort destroyer acquired from the United States.
This result was a big surprise to the West, because according to the information disclosed by the Yugoslavs, the three ships did not find any shadow of the aircraft at that time, which means that the attack was launched completely outside the visual range. This was completely different from the world's mainstream air-drop bomb tactics at that time, and if it was not an accident, it meant that the Soviet Union had gained the ability to attack sea targets from beyond visual range.
The analysis of the West is not false at all, the P-10 anti-ship missile that has just entered service weighs about 500 kilograms, uses a solid rocket launcher, weighs 100 kilograms, has a maximum range of 45 kilometers, and indeed has a certain out-of-sight strike capability. Of course, to be honest, the performance of the P-10 is average, especially the radar used in the seeker is still a conical scanning system, and the ability to find targets and anti-jamming capabilities are insufficient. And the power of 100 kg of semi-armor-piercing warhead was not enough, at least not enough to deal with the US imperialism at that time. Moreover, judging from the results of the Soviet side of this actual battle, only 5 of the 8 P-10s were hit, and the hit rate was only 62.5%, which is honestly low.
Of course, we have to admit that this success has created a new model of naval warfare, especially considering that the P-10 is much lighter than the early anti-ship missiles of the Soviet Union in history, and an Il-28 can carry two, and even the latest Su-7 fighter-bomber can grit its teeth and hang two, and the combat flexibility is greatly enhanced.
Moreover, the maximum range of the missile reached 45 km, and the effective range was not less than 25 km, which was a huge threat to the US fleet, which relied on artillery for air defense tasks. Especially considering that the P-10 is not the best Soviet anti-ship missile, but also the new P-15 equipped with a small turbojet engine, which weighs more than two tons and carries a 500-kilogram warhead, and has a range of nearly 100 kilometers, this threat can simply make the US aircraft carrier group fearful.
As the Soviet Union intensified its air strikes against Yugoslavia, Tito finally became a little overwhelmed, and most of the aid sent by the Americans was destroyed in the port, and as more and more strategic targets were destroyed, the Yugoslav economy was on the verge of collapse. Once the Soviets intensified their bombing or simply dispatched ground troops, Tito could not think of anything but to continue to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
Just when Tito was worried, he did not know that the United States and the Soviet Union had conducted a new round of contacts behind his back, and the two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on the Vietnam issue, the Yugoslav issue, and the Middle East issue, and reached a certain consensus.
What kind of consensus? In fact, to put it bluntly, it was an exchange of interests, and the Soviet Union exchanged concessions on the Vietnam issue for the concessions of the United States on the Yugoslav issue, and the two hooligans took what they needed, and in a sense, they were all happy......
