In 1969, the first secretary of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, threatened to launch a nuclear strike on China, which made the Chinese premier anxious.
At that time, the chairman was taking a dip in the swimming pool in Zhongnanhai, and after learning about this, he smiled and said a word to ***, which immediately made *** let go of his worries about the threat of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet threat arose from Brezhnev's adjustment of the international situation in 1964. He corrected the denigration of Stalin during the Khrushchev period, so that the Soviet Union's military power gradually caught up with the United States, and its ambitions began to swell.
Faced with China, a former friendly neighbor, Brezhnev developed aggressive ideas.
During the Stalin era, the Soviet Union was eager to occupy heavy industry in northeastern China, and even expected China's defeat in the Korean War in order to intervene and occupy the northeast itself.
However, Stalin did not anticipate the strength of the Chinese volunteers, who managed to defeat the United **.
Compared with Khrushchev's ambition to develop long-wave radio stations in China's coastal areas, Brezhnev's behavior was even more excessive, even using force to threaten China.
The Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal had already surpassed that of the United States, becoming the world's largest nuclear power at that time, and its military power was unmatched.
Brezhnev even did not dare to show his sword against the United States, but took action against his own fraternal countries and dependent countries, trying to interfere in the political situation of the five countries. He used the threat of political reforms in Czechoslovakia as a pretext to wage war against the country.
In 1969, Brezhnev launched a war against China with his inflated ambitions, triggering the Battle of Zhenbao Island. In the face of the provocations and threats of the Soviet Union, ** was not moved by Brezhnev's wanton actions.
** Ordered a counterattack against the Soviet Union, the soldiers fought bravely, and the Soviet army was defeated one after another. Brezhnev tried to use international pressure to contain China, and even threatened to launch a nuclear strike on China.
American diplomats learned of this and reported to Nixon, and then Nixon convened a meeting and unanimously decided to oppose the Soviet Union's actions. Nixon informed China privately, while Brezhnev learned about it through the newspapers and was furious.
All this has attracted great attention from the world. **After learning the news, I immediately felt anxious and hurried to Zhongnanhai to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, ** was swimming in the pool, it was getting late, he walked out of the pool and asked *** to wait in the living room.
When changing clothes, Mr. Chen, Mr. Peng and many other leaders also rushed to discuss, obviously this matter is not trivial. ** Smiled and asked everyone: "Have you read the history of the Ming Dynasty?"
** After listening to this, he asked, "Chairman, what does this have to do with our question?"The others also looked puzzled and didn't understand what *** meant.
** explained: "Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has already left us a solution, Zhu Sheng once used nine words to help Zhu Yuanzhang seize the entire Ming Dynasty, we can also learn from this method to deal with the threat of the Soviet Union."
**Follow-up: "What method?".* explained with a smile: "We can now adapt these nine words, that is, dig holes, accumulate more grain, and do not fight for hegemony!."What do you guys think?
**After thinking for a moment, he replied with a smile: "Good idea, not to fight for hegemony, we can contain the United States, so that there is no need to be afraid of the Soviet Union." Mr. Chen also praised: "The chairman's adaptation is more meaningful.
Then, they discussed resolving the crisis.
On the occasion of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is planned to display the country's advanced ** to deter countries around the world, but after learning that the Soviet Union has a nuclear strike, a group of generals and *** have suggested that *** stop the celebration.
Safety is paramount. Ye Shuai asked, "What about the National Day Celebration we are about to hold?"
** Smoking a cigarette, he responded: "The celebration must be held, and it must be on a grand scale, we must show the world our strength, let them also show the atomic bomb, and the Soviet Union will start to change the situation in the world."
Nervous, we can't show fear, we can't let the USSR look down on us, we have to let the enemy know that we are not afraid of a nuclear strike.
**Staring at ***'s worried expression, he stepped forward and reassured: "Prime Minister, if the Soviet Union poses a threat to us, we can deter them by showing the nuclear bomb in our hands."
After all, we have already gotten rid of the nuclear threat from Western countries, and it is time for the USSR to keep an eye on us. "* suddenly realized that *** understood the intention of ***. "We in China have the atomic bomb, so why should we be afraid of the Soviet Union?
He immediately asked. **Explained: "It would be appropriate to detonate a week before the twentieth anniversary celebrations. As for the location, the closer it is to our big brother, the USSR, the better.
As for the nuclear bomb as a warning, let Brezhnev and Nixon guess.
** and other generals obeyed ***'s instructions, and after the meeting, they issued orders to actively prepare for war throughout the country, dig bomb shelters, and prepare for a possible atomic bombing. Before the National Day, two mushroom clouds rose into the sky.
The scene alarmed the Soviet Union and the United States, which had the most advanced means of reconnaissance, and they waited with concern for China's next move. And after the success of the National Day ceremony, they did not see China's follow-up.
The Soviet Union and the United States realized that they were being played by China, but even Brezhnev did not dare to carry out a nuclear strike on China.
However, when Brezhnev was anxious to carry out the nuclear strike plan again, he asked Chen Shuai to make a statement internationally: "If the Soviet Union carries out a nuclear strike on China, China will drop all nuclear bombs on the US mainland."
China suffers a catastrophe, and the United States should not be spared. This statement immediately discouraged the United States, which quickly drew a line with the USSR and did not dare to provoke China again.
In the end, under the pressure of **, Brezhnev had to abandon his intention to launch a nuclear strike on China. A huge crisis was resolved in just nine words.
Wisdom and foresight are China's most valuable assets, and they are also the key factors in creating the current prosperity. We would like to thank *** and thank the two bomb fathers who have worked hard for this.
