In 1969, the Soviet Union's plans to launch a nuclear strike on China attracted widespread attention. In the sixties of the last century, the USSR was militarily powerful and posed a threat to China.
However, in the face of the threat from the USSR, ** did not choose to negotiate with them, but thought deeply and looked for a solution to the crisis.
** and *** were faced with a choice: either a global war or a nuclear war. However, the chairman proposed a new option: the use of two atomic bombs.
Behind this decision was an ingenious strategy devised by the chairman to attract widespread attention on the international stage and to allow China to maintain its independence and dignity in the face of the covetousness of the Soviet Union and the United States.
At that time, China was in a stage of reconstruction, and was under the attention of the two major powers, the Soviet Union and the United States. In order to shatter their delusions, China decided to hold a special display of the atomic bomb during the National Day military parade.
When asked whether to handle it centrally, after careful consideration, he replied firmly: "Yes, it must be done, and it must be done in a big way." ”
After China successfully launched two atomic bombs, it ordered a secret nuclear test exercise in the northwest region to strengthen its military strength. During the exercises, China did not make public announcements, but took secrecy measures.
Then, the final decision was made: "Two atomic bombs!" However, the news was learned by the United States and the Soviet Union, who speculated that China might be conducting pre-war training.
Despite this, ** is well aware that deterrence alone cannot truly deter the United States and the Soviet Union, and a more comprehensive response strategy needs to be found.
1.* For the sake of the future of the Party and the country, a major decision was made: to evacuate the top leaders to all parts of the country in case the Soviet Union took the opportunity to launch a nuclear strike on China.
This policy decision reflects his deep sense of distress and his deep love for the party and the country. He knew very well that in the event of a nuclear war, the future of the Party, New China, and tens of millions of Chinese people would be seriously affected, so he decided to prepare in advance for the future of the Party and the country.
2.* After giving the last order, he left Zhongnanhai's study and came to the door of his bedroom. He stood there and said solemnly: "This is a battle of life and death, and we must be fully prepared." ”
He knew very well that this war was not only about the future of the party, New China, and tens of millions of Chinese people, but also about his fate and responsibility. He decided to make the greatest efforts for the future of the party and the country, regardless of the outcome.
The action was preceded by a warning to Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev that if the USSR launched nuclear missiles at China, then China's nuclear missiles would be aimed at the United States.
Nixon was taken by surprise by this hard-line stance, and the United States had to face up to the Chinese threat and immediately engage with China. Be clear and concise and let Nixon think of his own strategy.
Nixon urgently contacted the Soviet Union and revealed the *** warning. In this regard, Lebzhnev was deeply shocked, and it was hard to imagine that *** had such an extraordinary strategic vision, and those plans that seemed whimsical at the time now seem to be original.
Therefore, the USSR decided to terminate hostilities against China. The way of using troops has been perfected, and even the feasibility of tactics has been brought into full play, which can not only thwart the Soviet Union, but also curb the ambitions of the United States, and is worthy of being an outstanding military strategist and statesman in our country.
At that time, however, China was in the midst of the Cultural Revolution, with a severe economic impact and a threat from the United States.
Under such circumstances, China has undoubtedly won the appreciation of countries around the world by adhering to its independent diplomatic strategy of not succumbing to external pressure and resolutely resisting the use of nuclear weapons.
Today, the Soviet Union has collapsed and become the predecessor of Russia. And China and Russia have also become strategic partners, and all these results are thanks to the wise decisions of the year.
