Praise *** Khrushchev nodded, very powerful.
In November 1957, on the occasion of the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution, the Soviet side invited the chairman and a number of dignitaries to Moscow to participate in the celebrations. At a banquet, the chairman spoke privately with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
During the conversation, the Chair indicated his intention to resign from his position. Khrushchev was not surprised by this, because this information was revealed to him half a year ago.
So, Khrushchev asked who would take over the chairmanship and whether anyone had the corresponding capabilities. The chairman listed two comrades, *** and ***, believing that they were both capable enough to take over.
The Chair mentioned that *** had a strong sense of principle and insufficient flexibility, and *** was a rare leader with both principle and flexibility. Khrushchev was deeply touched by the chairman's remarks, and said that he had contacts with the chairman and spoke highly of his wisdom and ideological level.
So, what's the story with Khrushchev? Why was Khrushchev so impressed with ***?
1.*The chairman introduced to Khrushchev*** The first contact between the two was during Khrushchev's visit to Beijing in 1954. At that time, ** was less involved in foreign affairs, so Khrushchev was not impressed by him, only knowing that he was one of many deputy prime ministers.
In 1956, the Communist Party of China sent a delegation to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and was one of the members of the delegation, which was also his first visit to the Soviet Union.
At the conference, Khrushchev made a secret report in which he completely repudiated Stalin. ** Objected to this, arguing that the revolutionary leader Stalin should not be treated in this way.
These two great men clashed ideologically for the first time, laying the groundwork for what would follow. 2.In 1957, **again visited the USSR, ** was also in the delegation.
During this visit, China and the Soviet Union had different opinions on some issues, but *** did not negotiate directly with Khrushchev, but appointed *** as the chief representative. **This move has its considerations, he believes that there can be no negotiation between him and Khrushchev, there must be leeway, let *** talk first, so that there is more room for maneuver.
In the negotiation process, he was calm and decisive, and took the initiative to attack by seizing the opponent's loopholes, which was impressive. It was Suslov, the leader of the CPSU, who negotiated with ***, who commented that *** was "very powerful, not easy to talk about, not much to talk about, and focused on your harm and loopholes".
At a dinner party, **pointed to *** and said to Khrushchev: "See that little man?" He is very smart and has a big future. Khrushchev was deeply touched by this and nodded his head again and again.
02 ** Went to Moscow to participate in the World Communist Party and Workers' Congress, and the contest with Khrushchev was eye-catching. Khrushchev tried to impose his views on others, but was rejected in a reasonable, favorable, and modestly manner, so that Khrushchev had to look at him with admiration.
At the dinner, Khrushchev accused China, but was refuted with a firm attitude, leaving Khrushchev speechless. The members of the CPSU present were also worried about Khrushchev's loss of control, and they changed the topic one after another, so that the contest ended in a victory.
In July 1963, he led a delegation to visit the Soviet Union again and participated in the talks between the Chinese and Soviet parties. Moscow still held a grand reception for them in the Kremlin.
Of course, as in the previous ones, the atmosphere at the banquet was tense and dignified. In his toast, Khrushchev expressed his desire for the two parties to eliminate their differences and expressed friendly feelings for the Chinese Communist Party.
However, Khrushchev then stressed that the line of the CPSU was correct, and that adhering to their point of view was a prerequisite for eliminating differences and uniting and friendly. In the face of this attitude, ** responded firmly but sincerely, hoping to bridge the differences.
The fierce confrontation at the banquet foreshadowed the outcome of the formal talks: the two sides failed to overcome their differences and reach an agreement. After the visit, he and the members of the delegation returned to China and were warmly welcomed by the leaders of the country, including the arrival at the airport.
**'s many foreign visits made the Soviet leaders see his wisdom and strength, and left a deep impression.
