After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman ** shouldered the important task of celebrating Stalin's birthday and signing the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance", and boarded the train to visit the Soviet Union on December 6, 1949.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many things to be done, but he took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Soviet Union, because the signing of the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance" could not wait.
On February 3, Ho Chi Minh flew non-stop from northeastern China to Moscow, where he met Stalin for a long time. Received by Stalin, Ho Chi Minh expressed a strong desire for military assistance and ammunition to the USSR.
"The Soviet Union is an important ally and dependent on us, and now we are in a difficult situation, and we hope that the Soviet Union will lend a helping hand and help us at any cost," he said. ”
Stalin, as a great statesman, was not moved by Ho Chi Minh's rhetoric, and he calmly replied: "The birth of every regime is accompanied by labor pains, which are inevitable processes of growth and cannot be avoided."
And this process is also great and glorious, and should not be replaced by others. With regard to foreign aid, our strategic focus is on Europe, and the new China will become the center of the Asian revolution, and it is best for them to help solve your problems. ”
Stalin's performance showed his superb diplomatic strategy, and Ho Chi Minh was disappointed because of this, and could only pin his hopes for help on the new Chinese **.
A special meeting between Stalin and Ho Chi Minh On February 14, when the treaty between China and the Soviet Union was successfully signed, Stalin held a grand reception banquet after the signing ceremony to celebrate this historic moment.
Ho Chi Minh expressed his envy for the success of the Sino-Soviet treaty, and he took advantage of Stalin's pleasure and summoned up the courage to talk to him. Ho Chi Minh replied shyly: "Comrade Stalin, I have something to ask you for. ”
Stalin drank two more glasses, and he was in a super happy mood, he made a joke, pointed at Ho Chi Minh and said: "I am the chairman of the Council of Ministers, you are *** Your official is much older than me, how can you ask me for instructions?"
I should have asked you for advice. Ho Chi Minh ignored Stalin's jokes and said solemnly: "It is a great joy that you have concluded a treaty with your Chinese comrades; It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, while I'm here, let's also make a treaty, one joy and one joy, double happiness! ”
Stalin was already a little drunk, he half-squinted, looked at Ho Chi Minh for a while, and said: "You came to Moscow secretly, belonging to an unknown origin, how can I make a contract with you?"
When people ask where you came from, I don't know how to answer! Ho Chi Minh did not feel embarrassed at all, his two eyes rolled a few times, he thought of an idea, and said: "This matter is easy to solve, if you send a plane to send me to the sky for a circle, and then send someone to the airport to meet me, and send a message in the newspaper, won't I become a foreign head of state visiting the Soviet Union?"
Then, we can sign the treaty openly! Stalin drank the wine from his glass and said very directly: "Your imagination is too rich, but I advise you not to think nonsense." ”
