KhrushchevNian said to **: You are a marshal, I am a lieutenant general, but I am not afraid of you
Lao Qin previously wrote an article "Khrushchev complained to ***: **Why should you teach me? tells the story of Khrushchev's "secret report" at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union that triggered riots in Eastern Europe, and in order to maintain his position, he asked the United States ** Eisenhower for help, but *** reminded him not to be used as a gunman.
During the talks with *** in the Yi Nian Hall, Khrushchev made a request for the release of eight American airborne agents captured in the northeast during and after the Korean War, but *** refused.
Peng Zhen, Wang Jiaxiang and others all attended the meeting and patiently explained to Khrushchev, while Khrushchev believed that the two major powers, the Soviet Union and the United States, dominated and maintained world peace, and China should cooperate.
He then turned to the shelling of Kinmen in 1958, believing that this was an internal matter of China and that the Soviet Union should not be consulted.
* is true, for such obvious truths, Khrushchev can hardly refute. He was speechless for a while, stunned, and after a while, he yelled at **: "I know that you are a marshal and I am a lieutenant general, but I am not afraid of you."
From a military point of view, I need to obey you, but from a political point of view, you have to listen to me. In the party, I am the first secretary, and you are only a member of the Politburo. ”
* Hearing Khrushchev's chaotic thinking, I almost laughed out loud. He said: "You seem to be mistaken, this is a matter of discussion between two parties, and you can only manage the first secretary of your party, and you cannot control the members of the Politburo of our party."
Moreover, the truth is universal to the world, and we will listen to whoever is reasonable. Now, you are clearly accusing us on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek and US imperialism, why should we listen to you? ”
Khrushchev was completely dumbfounded, he moved his lips several times, wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it. In the end, he looked at *** for help, half frustrated and half complaining, and said: "Look, you see, all of our Politburo Standing Committee members are here, there are many people, I can't talk about you, this kind of meeting is too unfair and unequal." ”
** did not show mercy to Khrushchev, and said directly: "Okay, you have given us a lot of hats today, saying that you do not support the spirit of Camp David, do not try to unite Nehru, do not greet Kinmen **, and say that we are 'left'."
Well, I will also give you a hat in return, which is right-leaning opportunism. Khrushchev saw that *** did not help him play a round game, his face was as red as a ripe apple, and he lowered his head.
At the end of the talks, ** took the initiative to ease the tension and said kindly: "Forget it, our basic line is still the same, but there are differences on individual issues, and our general line and differences are just a drop in the bucket and a hair, what do you think?" ”
Khrushchev burst into tears and laughed, and said: "That's right, that's right, that's what we've always thought. ”
** said: "Differences between us on individual issues will not affect our unity. Khrushchev enthusiastically agreed, and he said happily: "Of course not, it is precisely in our most difficult times that you have supported us, and we will continue to support you, forever." ”
