Traditional Chinese culture emphasizes "benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom and trust", and "gentleness, goodness, courtesy, thrift, and letting", these ten characters are the moral norms of Chinese people in the world.
But silence is not cowardice, patience is not numbness!Once the following two sentences are mentioned, it will be China's last "cruel words". These two sentences are:
Don't be unpredictable!It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Old** Self-defense counterattack against Vietnam - "Don't say it unpredictably" - this sentence means: Don't blame me for saying ugly things in advance, I warned you in advance;
is tolerable, which is unbearable" - this sentence means: you are already a scoundrel and hateful to the point of intolerability, and if this can be tolerated, there is nothing intolerable in the world.
Friends know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's borders have never been peaceful, and for decades, there have always been a few "evil neighbors" at our doorstep, who have nothing to do.
In Chinese Han culture, such unkind and unjust aggressors are derogatorily referred to as "Kou".
If you add another word in front of the word "寇", there will be words with more specific meanings and more precise meanings, such as "robbers" and "thieves".
When the Japanese invaded China, the Chinese people called them "Japanese invaders", and when the "white-eyed wolves" harassed us, the Chinese people called them "Vietnamese invaders."
In short, whether it is "robbers", "thieves", or "Japanese invaders" and "Vietnamese robbers", they are either thieves who harass the people, or they are rogue states that come to the door.
Looking at the world, China cannot be regarded as a belligerent country, but although Confucianism is benevolent and generous, it invisibly binds the hands and feet of the Chinese.
Over time, the Chinese have given people the impression that "humans and animals are harmless", and some people (especially our "evil neighbors") regard the Chinese's "peace and forbearance" as weakness and cowardice.
As a result, one by one, the "thieves" came to the door with guns and sticks, teeth and claws, and they harassed our border and shot our border people, and they were extremely arrogant and brutal.
In the eighties of the last century, Taiwanese composer Liu Jiachang composed a patriotic song called "I am Chinese", which was first sung by Taiwanese singer Feng Feifei.
In 1984, Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin sang this song at the ** TV station "Mid-Autumn Festival Gala", and the song "I am Chinese" quickly became popular across the Taiwan Strait.
1984 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala "I am Chinese" and "I am Chinese" have such lyrics:
Silence is not cowardice, patience is not numbness, and the traditional ideas of Confucianism lead our steps.
I will never fight lightly until the last moment, and when I can't bear it anymore, I will stand up!
This lyric expresses the sentiment of many Chinese, that is: "Chinese love peace and are willing to live in friendship with all countries in the world";
The Chinese never talk about fighting lightly, but this does not mean that the Chinese are afraid of war!”
In the face of the uncontrolled attacks of the rogue "evil neighbors", the Chinese had to stand up to the war when "they could no longer bear it"!
I don't know if my friends have noticed, but whenever there is a major decision in the country, or "a major national event", we can see some clues from the editorials and reviews published by the mainstream of the country.
Friends with experience will know that before the start of the self-defense counterattack war against India, the Zhenbaodao self-counterattack and the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, the People's Liberation Army Daily and other official ** published relevant blockbuster articles.
These articles use phrases such as "don't say it unpredictably" or "it's tolerable, it's intolerable."
As far as I know, the earlier origin of the phrase "don't say it is unpredictable" can be traced back to the Kangxi period, but it was the Qianlong Emperor who first used this phrase in diplomatic settings.
During the Qianlong period, relying on the "strong ships and guns", the British forcibly demanded that the Qing court open the port and be free**, and give it tax exemption treatment.
At that time, the Qianlong Emperor was furious, and in a letter rejecting the outrageous demands of the British, the Qianlong Emperor quoted the phrase "Don't say anything unpredictable" as a warning.
The reason why Emperor Qianlong is so tough is that he is angry, the British are rampant, can the arrogant Qianlong Emperor not be angry?
The second is self-confidence, when it comes to this, Emperor Qianlong is full of confidence and is ready to fight with the British "hard-to-head".
Emperor Qianlong's implication is: Say everything, do your courtesy, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, if you are obsessed and obstinate, then see you on the battlefield!
It is conceivable that if it were not until the time when he could no longer bear it, it would be impossible for Emperor Qianlong, a "humble gentleman", to say such "cruel words".
More than 100 years after the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, such "cruel words" have appeared again in official ** such as "People's **" and "People's Liberation Army Daily", and what our country wants to express, foreigners may be ignorant, but Chinese should know it well.
The people of the whole country know that this sentence is China's last warning to the "thieves."
The subtext is: bold "thief"!You've gone too far, I can't take it anymore. One last time to warn you, it's still too late for you to know your interests and turn to the right, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite!”
For the whole people, this sentence is undoubtedly a different kind of battle order!
As soon as this remark came out, it was to a certain extent equivalent to a "war mobilization order," and China had issued such a warning to the "thieves" before the war of self-defense and counterattack against India, the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, and the war of self-defense and counterattack against Zhenbao Island.
It is a pity that the Chinese culture is so broad and profound, and the sentences of the Chinese are too subtle and profound, and the "thieves" are chaotic and too dull, so the "thieves" do not understand human words at all and do not realize the weight of this sentence.
It is also possible that the "thieves" are so arrogant that they pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore China's warnings.
The thieves insisted on going their own way, and in the end they all paid a very painful price.
A self-defense counterattack against India
Since 1947, when India gained independence from the British, India has repeatedly invaded and occupied our territory and demanded that China recognize the illegal and invalid demarcation of the border line by the British Indian authorities.
After China's unreasonable demands were rejected, the Indian side continued to pursue the so-called "forward policy" and tried to change the status quo by force, creating many incidents.
From 1961 to September 1962, the Indian army brazenly crossed the national border and established 43 strongholds on Chinese territory in the western section of the border, occupying as much as 4,000 square kilometers of Chinese territory.
What is outrageous is that the strongholds illegally established by the Indians are close to our military posts, some of which are only a few meters away, and the Indians have even built strongholds at the back of our military posts, blocking the back roads of our military posts.
In this way, the Indian army stronghold and the PLA border post were intertwined and confronted each other at close range.
They used all kinds of excuses to provoke and find fault, and forced our soldiers on duty to evacuate their posts by force; in the end, the Indian army first opened fire on our border guards, killing and wounding many of our commanders and fighters.
India's endless provocations eventually escalated into a war, and on September 22, 1962, People** published an editorial entitled "Is it tolerable, but it is intolerable".
The editorial ends with a sonorous and powerful sentence: .
"The situation is sinister and the consequences are serious, and we have to warn the Indian authorities not to be unpredictable!”
Old ** Did the Indians understand this sentence in the self-defense counterattack against India?
Some people say they don't understand it, or they don't weigh the weight of the sentence.
As a matter of fact, India has always called itself "the third military power in the world," and it has "delusional self-confidence" in its own national strength, and it has overestimated the combat effectiveness of the "bearded soldiers," and has not taken China's "baby soldiers" seriously at all.
As a result, instead of taking China's warnings seriously, the Indians became more and more rampant and arrogant.
When they could no longer bear it, the officers and men of our army attacked angrily and launched a self-defense counterattack against India.
As everyone knows about what happened later, after the war, this fat "third military power in the world" was squeezed dry, and a war of aggression deliberately provoked by India was finally fought alive and well in the "Battle for the Defense of the Capital of New Delhi."
In this war, the border guards of the Chinese People's Liberation Army went on the offensive vigorously, annihilating three brigades of the Indian Army in one fell swoop, and annihilating one of the 5th, 67th, 114th, and 129th Brigades of the Indian Army, killing and wounding 4,885 Indian troops and capturing 3,968 Indian troops.
The Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack is a border operation with a limited scale and time, and the purpose of this battle is to teach the Indians who "don't know the height of the sky."
This war was later called a "military-political war, or a political-military war", and China took the initiative to withdraw its troops after a complete victory, indicating China's consistent position of "resolving the border issue through peaceful negotiations and opposing the use of force to change the status quo on the border".
In addition to the heavy military losses, India's hard-won national prestige was instantly lost, and Nehru's domestic status and support rate also plummeted.
Under multiple domestic and international blows, Nehru was depressed and exhausted, and died two years later.
Unfortunately, Nehru did not understand the reason for his defeat until his death.
The war of self-defense and counterattack against India has bought at least 30 precious years of peaceful development time for China's southwest region, and at the same time, the Indians' self-inflicted humiliation has become a laughing stock all over the world.
Treasure Island self-defense counterattack
Since the 60s of the last century, relations between China and the Soviet Union have deteriorated sharply, and from January 1967 to February 1969, Soviet border guards have invaded China's Zhenbao Island 16 times.
They have constantly attacked and harassed China's border residents, interfered with their normal passage and production activities, obstructed the normal patrol duties of China's border troops, and killed and injured Chinese border residents and border guards on many occasions.
Our country has repeatedly asked the Soviet side to stop its armed invasion activities, but the Soviet Union has turned a deaf ear.
On July 3, 1967, the Xinhua News Agency was instructed to issue a solemn warning to the Soviet Union, and at the end of the warning letter used the phrase "do not say anything unexpectedly."
However, relying on its advanced armament and nuclear weapons, the Soviet side ignored the warnings of our country, and they went their own way without the slightest sign of relenting.
On March 2, 1969, more than 70 Soviet border guards suddenly invaded Zhenbao Island, and they rode in four military vehicles on a rampage through Chinese territory, frantically attacking the patrol officers of our border guards, killing and wounding six people.
The Chinese border guards were forced to defend themselves and counterattack, and after a battle with a serious disparity in strength, the Soviet troops who invaded Zhenbao Island were driven out of Zhenbao Island by the People's Liberation Army.
On the 15th of that month, the Soviet border guards invaded Zhenbao Island three times in succession, and with the support of *** and artillery fire, the Soviet army dispatched a total of 100 infantry and more than 50 tanks and armored vehicles to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese border detachment guarding Zhenbao Island.
After nine hours of fierce fighting, the officers and men of our border guards once again thwarted the offensive of the Soviet troops and drove them out of Zhenbao Island.
Two days later, more than 70 Soviet border guards attacked again, this time with a different approach and heavy artillery fire to drive them out of Zhenbao Island.
In the self-defense and counterattack operations on Zhenbao Island, the officers and men of our border defense units swore to defend the country's territory and safeguard the dignity of the Chinese nation.
According to post-war statistics, Chinese border guards killed or wounded more than 230 Soviet officers and soldiers, and destroyed or damaged 19 Soviet tanks (armored vehicles).
After the battle, the Soviet Union had a new understanding of China's military strength, which to a certain extent deterred the Soviet Union from further war attempts.
The self-defense and counterattack on Zhenbao Island also had many positive effects on Sino-Soviet relations.
Later, with the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China and Russia continued to deepen their understanding and strengthen their ties, which gradually developed into the current "strategic partnership".
For the world pattern, the "Zhenbao Island Incident" has become a turning point in the transformation of Sino-US relations, and has indirectly promoted China's ties with other countries in the world. As a result, a "three-legged" international situation in which China, the United States, and the Soviet Union are "standing together" has gradually taken shape, and the world has since entered a new stage of relative stability and peace.
Self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam
In the mid-70s of the last century, with the selfless and unsparing support of China, Vietnam drove out the American invaders and achieved national reunification.
Unexpectedly, China had just helped them get rid of the Yankees, but our neighbor turned his face and regarded China as the "number one enemy," and as a result, Sino-Vietnamese relations deteriorated sharply, and the peace and stability of China's border areas and the lives and property of the people were seriously threatened.
Once upon a time, we were their "comrades and brothers" who were grateful to Dade, but now, they are not grateful, "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge", and have no morality, so the Chinese people call them "white-eyed wolves".
On December 25, 1978, "People**" was authorized to publish an editorial entitled "Our Patience Has Limits".
"We would like to solemnly warn the Vietnamese authorities that if you continue to act arbitrarily with the support of the Soviet Union, you will be punished as you deserve."
"Let's put our words in front of us, don't say them unpredictably"!
The "People's **" on the eve of the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam was a warning issued by our country to them when we could no longer bear it, because our "neighbor" would take revenge, and moreover, they had gone too far on the road of opposing China.
On February 17, 1979, in accordance with the order of the ** Military Commission, the Chinese border guards launched a self-defense counterattack against the Vietnamese army that violated Chinese territory (and did not repent).
Interestingly, like India, which is blindly arrogant, our "neighbor" also claims to be the "third military power in the world", and our two "neighbors" are just as arrogant and inconsiderate.
So, is Vietnam, the "world's third military power", strong?
Without further ado, just one fact will have an answer to the question of whether the Vietnamese army is "strong or not":
Within 28 days, our soldiers reached the outside of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. If it had not been for the order to withdraw the troops, our soldiers would have had the strength to take Hanoi City.
If that is the case, this "third power in the world" will be in a hurry to fight a humiliating "battle to defend the capital" like another "third military power in the world."
On March 16, 1979, China achieved its expected combat objectives, and all the participating troops withdrew to China.
White-eyed wolf: "What are the consequences of picking quarrels and provoking trouble?
A fierce battle, Vietnam's strategic deployment was completely disrupted, the war caused serious "sequelae", and to this day, the country's "vitality" has not been able to fully recover.
The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam can be divided into two stages, the first stage, in which our army advanced the front to the vicinity of Hanoi in less than a month.
In the second stage, Vietnam did not learn the painful lesson and harassed China's border areas, which led to the familiar "two-mountain round war".
So, is the "two-mountain round battle" just to continue to teach the "white-eyed wolf" a lesson?
In fact, the significance and harvest of the "Two Mountains Wheel War" are far greater than the imagination of ordinary people.
After the failure of the first stage, the Vietnamese did not repent, and they gambled almost all of their family wealth to fight the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
As a result, unconsciously, a large number of "sad" Vietnamese soldiers became the "sparring partners" of the PLA soldiers.
In the "two mountains," a ready-made "training ground," the 10 group armies of the Chinese People's Liberation Army took turns on the field; in the real war environment, PLA officers and men regarded the battlefield as a "classroom" and the enemy as a "sparring exercise." They trained while fighting, and the results of battlefield training were far better than those in peacetime.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "two-mountain round battle" is a "whetstone"; with the "tacit cooperation" of the "blue army" (Vietnamese army), our army's war knives have become more tenacious and sharp, our officers and men have gained valuable experience in actual combat, and a large number of young officers have grown up and matured in actual combat.
A few years later, these soldiers who had actual combat experience and had undergone the baptism of war stood out, and many of them became middle and high-ranking military generals in our army.
In this sense, it seems that we should say "thank you" to our "sparring partners".
The three histories of the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam have repeatedly proved a fact: When dealing with "thieves" who have lost their minds and gone crazy, it is impossible to "seek perfection" for "grievances", "patience" may be regarded as "cowardice", and blind exhortation and warning will most likely become "useless work".
Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come", after thinking about it, **This sentence is still the best choice to deal with "thieves".
Over the past several decades, the people's army has developed from a single branch of the armed forces into a combined army composed of the army, navy, and air force, as well as missile units.
We have every reason to believe that as the world's largest armed forces and as an armed force no less comprehensive than any other country, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has the confidence and strength to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
Finally, I would like to advise all hot-headed "thieves" not to have wolf ambitions and reckless actions that offend China.
If you don't know what to do and can't understand people, the consequences will be serious!
