Wake up（24）

Under the guidance of veteran Chinese medicine practitioner Chai Jianhua, Lin Huiting gradually got her blood sugar under control. As usual, Lin Huiting came to Chai Jianhua's place again and often gave Lin Huiting acupoint health care: massage the Yinlingquan and Taixi points on her feet.

Seeing Lin Huiting coming, Chai Jianhua warmly handed him a cup of yam thirst quenching tea.

Lin Huiting told Chai Jianhua about the little-known past of "surpassing the British and chasing the beautiful":

In 1957, China's "anti-rightists" won a complete victory, and 600 million people completely surrendered. The Soviet Union also took the lead in launching artificial satellites in the world that year. The socialist camp seemed to have the upper hand. Insufficient world prestige, insufficient qualifications, and ineffective means of dealing with events in Eastern Europe and Poland and Hungary. He believes that his qualifications, ability, wisdom, prestige, and level of handling world issues are better than Khrushchev. Only he can take on the great task of world communist leader. .

But when Khrushchev proposed twice that the Communist Party of China should be the leading party of the Communist Party of the world, and Lao Mao should be the leader of the communist world, Lao Mao verbally refused to accept it, declaring that he would still "be led by the Soviet Union." On a series of issues such as the Stalin issue, the relationship between the parties of various countries, socialism and capitalism, peaceful transition or war settlement, it launched a comprehensive challenge to Khrushchev's leadership of the International Communist Movement; and repeatedly humiliated, bullied, and suppressed Herst. Even disregarding the basic diplomatic etiquette, he repeatedly stepped on Hearst.

Lin Huiting said to Chai Jianhua:

Once when Khrushchev visited Beijing, Lao Mao organized Lin Biao, Peng Zhen and other party and state officials to besiege Khrushchev. Among them, Chen Yi pointed his nose and scolded him the most. Khrushchev responded angrily: "I know you are the marshal, but I am the general secretary, you can't talk to me like this!"

Lao Mao sat aside to watch the joke and sneered: "Comrade Khrushchev, don't be so excited!"

In 1958, after Khrushchev’s secret visit to China, Lao Mao suddenly and unilaterally announced the news of Hearst’s visit and ordered the shelling of Quemoy, which caused the United States and other Western countries to agree that Khrushchev deliberately created tension after discussing with Lao Mao. , trying to start a war. Khrushchev, who wanted to ease the Cold War conflict with the United States and was afraid of triggering a war, was extremely annoyed but couldn't explain it.

In the same year, Khrushchev proposed to Lao Mao through the Soviet ambassador to China Yudin to cooperate with China to establish a long-wave radio station and a joint submarine fleet. It is not difficult for a friendly country to cooperate and it is beneficial to both countries, but Lao Mao made a big fuss and deliberately made troubles. He became furious in front of Eugene, threatening to hurt China's sovereignty and his self-esteem.

Khrushchev had to go to Beijing to explain in person, but Lao Mao met with Hearst in the swimming pool in his pajamas and asked Hearst to talk while swimming in the pool. Turn... After being teased like this, Khrushchev finally realized that he had once again suffered a great humiliation.

In 1959, the United States sent several Sidewinder missiles to Taiwan. Taiwan successfully tested it over Wenzhou, but one unexploded. The Soviet Union was researching air-to-air missiles at that time, and some key technologies had not yet passed the test, so they asked China to send the unexploded Sidewinder The missiles were given to the Soviet side, but the Chinese refused to give them for various reasons, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Soviet side: The modern weapons and equipment of the Chinese army are all aided by the Soviet Union, and they are still helping you develop nuclear weapons. Now we want a dud but will not give it. Or another country. Khrushchev was enraged and ordered to stop providing China with Qian Xuesen and others' ongoing missile research technology. Only then did Lao Mao agree to give the rattlesnake dud to the Soviet Union. The Soviet experts were dumbfounded when they opened the box after receiving it. The missile was disassembled in a mess and could not be restored. The sensor of the infrared guidance system that the Soviet Union wanted most was missing...

Lin Huiting took a sip of the yam thirst quenching tea and said to Chai Jianhua:

The relationship between China and the Soviet Union has grown from close allies to greatest enemies, just as the Chinese saying goes, "A liter of rice makes a benefactor, and a bucket of rice makes an enemy." At that time, Lao Mao begged Stalin for help like a slave. Stalin was often stingy and angry, but Lao Mao regarded Stalin as "a great mentor and beloved father"; unequal terms, returned the Lushun base, and provided large-scale and comprehensive industrial and technical assistance to China; almost all the small arms aided by Stalin were outdated World War II weapons, but Khrushchev provided active Soviet equipment to make the Chinese People's Liberation Army Into modernity in one fell swoop; Khrushchev

Fu also took great risks and pressure to sign an assistance agreement with China for the manufacture of nuclear submarines and atomic bombs, which has been implemented since 1956. However, Lao Mao was condescending and disdainful of the others. He repeatedly asked the Soviet Union for military technology and industrial equipment, and always trampled on Khrushchev. Lao Mao proposed that "the east wind overwhelms the west wind", not only does the socialist camp want to overwhelm the western world, but also the Chinese party wants to overwhelm the Soviet party, so that it can justifiably become the leader of the communist world.

During the meeting in Moscow, Mao casually commented on the differences and contradictions within the Soviet Party in public. Mikoyan, chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, stood up to express his strong dissatisfaction. The onlookers were also surprised. A note was passed around: "The struggle between the Russians and the Chinese for leadership in the international communist movement has begun."

However, although China is a political power, a populous country and has become a military power that dares to challenge the United States, the extreme backwardness of China's economy has become Lao Mao's biggest worry, because being a world leader has to pay a price and money. So when Khrushchev proposed at the meeting of the Communist Workers' Party in Moscow that it would take ten years for the Soviet Union to catch up with the United States, Lao Mao immediately proposed that China could surpass the United Kingdom in ten years. Lao Mao's rhetoric of "surpassing Britain in ten years" was telegraphed to Beijing that night, and made a brilliant appearance in the People's Daily the next day, and later evolved into "surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States in fifteen years."

On November 13, 1957, the People's Daily published an editorial, formally putting forward the slogan of "Great Leap Forward", and began to advocate and launch the Great Leap Forward. Lao Mao's Great Leap Forward "surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States" is a fake, its real purpose is to catch up with the Soviet Union and overwhelm Khrushchev.

Lao Mao declared that "the development speed of China's industry can surpass that of the Soviet Union." He often asked officials to compare the economic indicators of the Great Leap Forward with the Soviet Union to see which era the Soviet Union was equivalent to, and how far behind the Soviet Union was. China's steel output It will be a few years before they catch up with the Soviet Union, so that they can catch up with the Soviet Union economically as soon as possible, overwhelm Khrushchev with confidence, and become the truly qualified leader of the Communist world. Bo Yibo also conveyed Mao's whimsy at the National Industry Secretary Meeting: "To get rid of superstition, the United States is nothing. In less than a decade or two, the Soviet Union can become two Americas, and we can become four Americas. "

In Lao Mao's wild fantasy of the Great Leap Forward, the United States seems to have really become a paper tiger that can be broken at a glance. Before long, China will become four United States, which is twice as big as the Soviet Union's big brother!

Chai Jianhua was very surprised when he heard what Lin Huiting said. This was something he had never heard of.

Lin Huiting took another sip of the yam thirst quenching tea, and continued to say to Chai Jianhua:

At that time, after careful investigation and analysis by the Soviet Union, they believed that China’s Great Leap Forward violated the law of economic development, and did not have the corresponding material foundation. "public" people's communes. But in order not to offend Lao Mao and the Chinese Communist Party, Khrushchev asked the Soviet officials not to express their views on the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune.

In 1956, the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union criticized Stalin for his personality cult and brutal purges, which aroused Mao’s vigilance and dissatisfaction. "Historical Experience", criticizing the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party without naming names, the Soviet side not only did not refute it, but also took the initiative to publish 200,000 copies and 1 million copies in the country to promote it, giving China enough face.

But when Lao Mao was complacent about the rapid rise of the Great Leap Forward and many countries were inexplicably surprised and discussing it, all the newspapers and official documents of the Soviet Union remained silent, including telegrams congratulating China’s National Day, and did not mention the Great Leap Forward and the People’s Commune, which deeply disappointed Lao Mao .

In July 1959, after more than a year of China’s Great Leap Forward, Khrushchev had to talk about some of his own views when he was pressed by reporters during his visit to Poland in view of the ideological confusion it caused in the Soviet Union and the socialist camp. He said that the establishment of the Great Leap Forward and the People's Commune when the material and spiritual conditions were not available may lead to unpredictable consequences; the Soviet Union also established communes when it was collectivized in the 1920s, and there were lessons from failure.

That day, Chai Jianhua and Lin Huiting communicated for more than three hours. What Lin Huiting said always gave Chai Jianhua an inexplicable feeling. , This is actually the reason why Lao Mao fell out with the big brother of the Soviet Union in order to become the world leader.

That night, Chai Jianhua couldn't sleep again. He knew very well that Lin Huiting was a student studying in the Soviet Union, and also worked as a translator. In the late 1970s, he also served as a commissioner of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Bureau. What about yourself? At the age of 17, he was used as cannon fodder by the national army. Although he also beat Japan, the suppression of the counter-revolutionary movement shortly after the founding of New China and the subsequent land reform made him terrified. What he worried and feared was that he would be arrested one day. In broad daylight, he was said to be a Kuomintang spy hiding in the mainland.
