Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the world's eyes have been focused on this, and there have been disagreements in the country. The merits of this war, who is the real culprit, history will judge fairly, and this article will not discuss too much.
Today, we can safely sit at home and look at the war thousands of miles away with a calm mind, without worrying about the war spreading to the country, thanks to the wise leadership of the country, but also inseparable from the far-sighted decision of the older generation of leaders such as ***.
Because "fight with one punch, lest a hundred blows come."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War broke out rapidly. This conflict, which originally belonged to the DPRK, has turned into an all-out war because of the hegemonic actions of the United States.
** and other leaders foresaw this possibility early on, as early as August 4 at the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, it was clear that China may participate in the war in the form of volunteers.
Twenty-three days later, the U.S. Air Force began to unprovoked violations of China's airspace and frantically bombed and strafed China's borders.
In the face of the arrogant provocation of the United States, ** insisted on implementation"You hit yours, I'll hit mine"strategy, and finally defeated the United States on the Korean battlefield. On October 7, 1950, the United States, in disregard of China's warnings, brazenly crossed the 38th parallel and advanced all the way north, and the DPRK leader sent an application for help to our country.
However, as"Big Brother"The Soviet Union did not dare to directly clash with the United States and did not dare to send troops to support North Korea. Under these circumstances, China resolutely accepted this important task.
However, only one year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country is full of holes, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, the political power has not yet been stabilized, there are still the remnants of the Kuomintang in collusion with bandits, and the PLA's equipment is also very backward.
In this case, there were internal disagreements, some advocated a late dispatch of troops, and some advocated not sending troops. In the face of this situation, ** firmly spoke, saying that he would resolutely send troops to aid the DPRK, and finally defeated the United States on the Korean battlefield.
** Emphasize that the Korean War cannot be considered a matter of other countries. If we turn a blind eye to the DPRK, the US occupation of the DPRK will pose an even greater threat to our security.
Once the situation changes, the United States may launch attacks from three directions: North Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, putting us on the back foot. Therefore, "to open the way out with one punch, lest a hundred punches attack, to resist US aggression and aid Korea is to defend the homeland." ”
**'s words profoundly reveal the sinister intentions of the US imperialists. It also reminds us that there is no way back and that we must go all out to defend our homeland.
On October 19, 1950, hundreds of thousands of heroic Chinese volunteers crossed the Yalu River and fought alongside their North Korean comrades. They used rudimentary equipment to force the "United **" all the way back to the 38th parallel, and even forced the United States to sign the armistice agreement.
The victory of the Korean War ensured the relative security of our surrounding environment, and also made us understand that only when we are strong will others respect us. However, even though we have won this battle for the founding of the country, to become a truly independent power, we need not only a safe surrounding environment, but also an "artifact" - the atomic bomb.
Only with the atomic bomb will we be able to speak independently on the international stage.
In 1945, the United States airdropped two "gifts from heaven" to the Japanese, namely "Little Boy" and "Fat Man". When reporting the news of the atomic bomb, "Liberation**" quoted the description of "all living things in Hiroshima were burned to death", and corrected it to "more than 100,000 people" in a follow-up report.
** believes that this kind of writing is too exaggerated to exaggerate the role of the atomic bomb, insisting that the atomic bomb is just a scary "paper tiger" of US imperialism, and that the key to the victory or defeat of the war lies in the people, and the importance of ** should not be overemphasized.
Although the atomic bomb is only a mass destruction** and cannot determine the course of war, whether it is in our hands or not has a very different meaning.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he made a special visit to the Soviet Union. Stalin accompanied him in a documentary about the atomic bomb tests of the Soviet Union. Deeply inspired by the documentary, he said that China should also actively participate in the development of the atomic bomb.
Although, according to the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, in the event of third-party aggression by one side, the other side will fully support it, that is, the USSR actually provided our country with a nuclear umbrella.
However, the Korean War that followed proved that the Soviet Union's promises were unreliable, and the United States made a nuclear threat to China during the war. In this context, the determination to independently develop the atomic bomb has been strengthened.
He knows very well that only by possessing its own atomic bomb can China's status in the international community be enhanced and it will be able to avoid being bullied. Therefore, he believes that China should develop the atomic bomb independently, rather than relying on others to protect itself.
Only in this way, in today's world, can we truly stand up and not be bullied.
On September 29, 1954, Khrushchev led a delegation to visit China and participated in the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the exchange, the need for China to research atomic energy and nuclear power was put forward in a straightforward manner.
However, Khrushchev objected, arguing that China, with the protection of the Soviet Union, no longer needed to spend a lot of money on developing an inedible, unusable and expensive atomic bomb.
Khrushchev suggested that the chairman should first focus on the national economy and people's livelihood, and if necessary, the Soviet Union could help China build a small atomic reactor. Although Khrushchev's attitude did not discourage ***'s determination, during the Kinmen artillery battle, the threat of the Americans made the importance of nuclear ** even more prominent.
The original intention of China's development of nuclear weapons is not for aggression or nuclear threat, but to guard against the potential risk of war. **foresaw possible imperialist aggression and firmly believed that only with its own nuclear ** could it be better protected***
In 1955, the CCP officially decided to develop the atomic energy industry and research the atomic bomb, and received the support of the Soviet Union. However, in the process of research, we insisted on taking the road of self-reliance and appropriately seeking foreign aid.
Although the Soviet Union later betrayed its promise, tore up the agreement, took away all the experts and drawings, and brought heavy damage to our country's nuclear industry, this policy of *** was still proved to be correct.
In 1962, the Soviet Union withdrew its experts, and the country was plagued by natural disasters and arrears, and the economy was in trouble. In this context, whether the development of nuclear weapons should be suspended has aroused heated discussions among scientific researchers and decision-making organs.
Some advocate shelving the atomic bomb project and waiting for the economy to improve. However, as the ultimate decision-maker, the chairman has a deep understanding of the importance of nuclear ** in national defense security, and he strongly supports the continued advancement of cutting-edge research and development.
In October 1962, the relevant departments submitted a plan for the first atomic bomb in China in 1964, which was approved by the chairman.
After two years of hard work, on October 16, 1964, with a loud bang on the Lop Nur Gobi Desert, China successfully tested the first atomic bomb.
Despite the successful test of the atomic bomb, Western countries still sneered at us, calling China "bullets but no guns". This is because if the atomic bomb is dropped only by aircraft, the insurance factor is too low, and the actual combat value is limited.
Only by attaching an atomic bomb to a missile can it truly bring into play its actual combat value. Therefore, soon after the successful test explosion of the atomic bomb, the special committee began to develop a nuclear warhead, and in just two years, on October 27, 1966, a medium- and short-range surface-to-surface missile loaded with a nuclear warhead accurately reached the air above the predetermined place and **.
Four years later, the medium-range and medium-range missiles were successfully test-fired; In 1971, China test-fired an intercontinental missile for the first time. Nine years later, China's intercontinental missile was tested for the first time.
Although at that time, "People's **" only implicitly stated: "The first launch vehicle launched in the predetermined sea area of the Pacific Ocean was a complete success", everyone knows that from this moment on, China officially has the ability to use its own strategic missile forces to strike at the European part of the Soviet Union and the US mainland.
At this moment, China already has the strength to engage in dialogue with the United States and the Soviet Union on an equal footing. As soon as the missile test ended, the vice premier received a kind invitation from the United States and received a high-level reception from the United States.
Nothing shows China's power better than strength. The victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea made all countries in the world look at China with admiration, so that the United States never dared to cross the 17th parallel in the Vietnam War.
The successful test explosion of the atomic bomb and the successful launch of the intercontinental missile completely dispelled the idea of war between the United States and the Soviet Union and China. Without nuclear **, the US attack on China could be even more violent.
This is proven in Ukraine.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Belarus each inherited the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal, and Ukraine became the third largest nuclear possessor overnight after the United States and Russia.
The United States and Western countries are worried that these nuclear weapons will fall into the hands of small countries, and they are putting pressure on the CIS, hoping that other countries except Russia will give up or destroy their own nuclear weapons.
Despite the unwillingness of the Ukrainian authorities to abandon their own martial arts and the huge losses associated with the abolition of nuclear weapons, under the joint pressure of the United States and Russia, Ukraine finally signed the "Lisbon Agreement" with the United States, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus on May 23, 1992, promising to eliminate all nuclear weapons within the next seven years.
In exchange, the United States and Russia pledged compensation and economic assistance to Ukraine, as well as pledged security guarantees to Ukraine. By 2001, Ukraine's last ICBM silo was destroyed, and Ukraine officially became a non-nuclear state.
It sounds nice that I'm being scrambled by two big powers and not being able to keep myself safe, but it's actually not feasible. With the continuous expansion of NATO, Ukraine has also become the focus of great power wrestling.
The United States is trying to prevent Russia from restoring its status as a great power by setting up troops in Ukraine to make Russia pay the price. And Russia is worried that the establishment of a US team in Ukraine will threaten its own security, so it will not budge an inch on the Ukraine issue.
Ukraine, on the other hand, oscillated between pro-Russian and **, which ultimately led to the current predicament. This once again proves the foresight of ***, if you don't have enough strength, even self-protection will become difficult. ”
