Chapter 261 The Great Stalin(2/2)
The Soviet Union is the first stop for global visits. Because I have very high expectations and sincerity, I hope to maintain peace and friendship with the Soviet Union for a long time."
After a moment of pause, he continued: "After the end of the Sino-Soviet War, we noticed that many people in the Soviet Union criticized Mr. Lenin, saying that he had made too many concessions to China and lost the patriotic ambition of Soviet Union. I think this
It is a short-sighted and dangerous remark. At the end of the Sino-Soviet War, Mr. Lenin and I discussed it many times. As I have always emphasized, the history of mankind is long, not as long as decades, but
For hundreds or thousands of years, between a powerful China and the Soviet Union, if the Soviet Union must spread its territory to the entire north of China like Tsarist Russia and to the Far East, it must dominate Europe and Asia.
The world giant in the north of the mainland can only end up being the joint extermination of China and European countries. Especially China cannot accept this situation. Even if the Sino-Soviet War cannot solve this problem, there will be a second time.
, the third time, or even the tenth time, until the Slavs in the north disappeared, this is a very cruel fact and the simplest truth. The forest bear and the land tiger cannot coexist in the same territory, especially
In today's long and close junction, war can threaten the survival of the two nations at any time. For this reason, Mr. Lenin and I made a common choice for the long-term peace of the two nations, that is, we are currently
The Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty that we know."
"Mr. Lenin is a great man, and I deeply admire it. In our consultation, our idea is to let Soviet Russia bid farewell to the arrogant and unreasonable era of Tsarist Russia and restore it to a pure European country, and China is in China
Kazakhstan, Caucasus and Eastern Europe in northern Asia have given neutral defaults on Russia's territorial requirements. In addition, through adjustments to the autonomous region of the Kazakh region, a huge buffer zone such as Kazakhstan is retained between Soviet Russia and our country,
In addition to this buffer zone, the other borders of the two countries are military-in-one frozen soil areas and extremely cold areas in the north. Since then, China has been a pure Asian power, while the Soviet Union is a pure European hegemon.
It is the tiger of Asia, the bear of the Soviet Union and Russia, and the two huge world powers can live in a friendly and peaceful manner, and maintain this situation for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, without war.”
After saying this, Song Biao finally made a conclusion: "So, Mr. Lenin is a great man and deserves our admiration. The concessions he made really touched me, and the fact is that we have also made great concessions to the Soviet Union.
, We did not insist on letting the Kazakhstan and the Caucasus region ** and supported the Soviet Union to restore its management rights over Eastern Europe. This is a common concession between the two sides and a common progress between the two sides."
Stalin was obviously very dissatisfied with this evaluation. He always had extremely strong opposition to the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty that year, and also knew that Emperor Song was accusing him of his objections and attempting to adjust in recent years.
situation.
Stalin also knew very well that China is so powerful today that it is absolutely impossible to regain the Far East, but he hopes to regain the Southern Siberian Plain through various ways, which is the best land of nearly 1.5 million square kilometers.
The territory has fertile arable land and long plains, and is rich in resources.
In the past twelve years, China has immigrated 23 million people here, opening up the Talmus (Tomsk) and the Novosibirsk oil zone, and establishing the northwest in Kunisk (called Novoska Kuznesko in the Soviet Union)
The largest coal and metallurgical base quickly became the richest region in China.
Stalin certainly hoped to retake this place.
After Song Biao said his words of praise and praise to Lenin, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers Joseph Stalin looked gloomy. In addition to Sergei Kirov, Stalin was still the first to be the first.
Once he felt the provocation of dignity, under his cold and ruthless appearance was a heart full of revenge.
He seemed to be slight, and indifferently put this aside, saying: "Peace is always the most important thing, especially between the two major powers of China and the Soviet Union. War will destroy everything, and we should maintain the status quo for a long time.
The exchanges in science and technology between China and the Soviet Union are very prosperous, and this also proves the long-term friendship between the two nations. Science and technology have no borders, and only the continuous development of technology can benefit the human world. We hope to deepen this exchange.
”
Of course, Song Biao did not just want to meet Joseph Stalin during this trip. He wanted to confirm whether Stalin would continue to maintain Lenin's opinion. If Stalin had a firm intention to recover lost territory, he had to adjust his policy to the Soviet Union immediately and thoroughly
Be prepared for war.
If Stalin was hesitant, the current policy towards the Soviet Union should be focused on winning over the Soviet Union and try to avoid excessive friendship and interdependence between the Soviet Union and Germany. For example, if China refuses to sell machine tools for fear of the strengthening of the Soviet Union's industrial strength, it forces the Soviet Union to buy with Germany.
, deepening the Soviet-German cooperation is definitely a bad news.
Song Biao did not want to talk about the issue of scientific and technological exchanges and heavy-duty and special machine tools for sale for the time being, and said: "Technical exchanges should be further expanded and deepened, which is beneficial to both sides. Before that, our country first hopes to solve the problem of agricultural trade. In the past three years, agricultural imports to China have been continuously reduced. Last year, the import of agricultural and animal husbandry products from my country was completely stopped due to the bumper agricultural harvest. This is very bad news for my country's agricultural economy and farmers, but according to some media reports, and some Special sources have proved that there is still a major famine in Ukraine. If necessary, I think the two countries should resume trade in food and other agricultural and sideline products.”
Stalin said in a plain manner: "That is false news, and it is also a rumor made by enemies and reactionaries within the Soviet Union. No countries should take it seriously. The progress of our country's food work and agricultural science and technology is a world-recognized fact, and there is no doubt. I heard that China
The country also adopted a policy similar to that of the Soviet Union, and the state purchased food in a unified manner to maintain the supply of food?"
Song Biao said: "It is not the same policy. my country has two central reserve management agencies. One is the Central Monetary Reserve Bureau affiliated to the Central Bank and the other is the Central Strategic Reserve Bureau affiliated to the Central Government. The Central Strategic Reserve Bureau has two responsibilities. First, reserve national strategic materials, including oil, minerals, coal and other commodities to prevent accidents, and second, maintain the stability of national basic prices. The most important task is to maintain the stability of grain and salt prices, the market grain supply exceeds the price, and the price of grain A sharp decline will threaten farmers' income and affect farmers' living standards and expenditures. The Central Strategic Reserve Bureau will purchase large-scale grain to stabilize prices. If food prices rise sharply due to war or famine, the Central Reserve Bureau will It will sell the stock of grain, inhibit the growth of grain prices, and stabilize the normal living standards of the people. Therefore, although the central government of our country will purchase and sell grain in the name of the government, its principles and working methods are completely different from the Soviet model."
Stalin said oh, a little disappointed. He originally thought that China was becoming more left-leaning and even began to learn from the Soviet Union's economic policies.
He thought for a moment and said, "I think this is a relatively valuable government management mechanism."
Song Biao said: "Generally speaking, the government can maintain the stability of grain prices in this way of grain price control, but also have certain economic benefits. This is not the innovative management of government officials in the imperial cabinet in these few terms, and the Han Wudi in the Han Dynasty
During this period, the famous prime minister Gongsun Hong founded this policy."
Stalin said: "China has a lot of admirable long history, and no one can deny it."
Song Biaoze said: "my country's total grain output has been growing rapidly. As of last year, per capita grain has reached the level of the United States in 1900, about 1,175 kilograms. Therefore, the national grain price has been gradually declining, and the central government The government reserves can only stabilize the downward trend. Even under the rapid development of the grain processing industry, the degree of grain surplus is still large, so it mainly exports to West Asia and Southeast Asia, and is currently exported to Africa. Even so, the government There is still a lot of surplus food every year. Last year, there was about 40 million tons of grain surplus. In addition to increasing the storage of grain warehouses and increasing the supply of livestock, part of it will also be donated to poor countries and regions. From the current perspective, starting from last year This situation will gradually become customization, and a portion of the grain must be donated or sold at a low price every year to alleviate the pressure on my country's warehouses. It is better for the government to make financial losses than to ensure the stable income of domestic farmers and the stable consumption of the people. Of course, since last year, my country has also actively adjusted its domestic grain industry, reduced grain production, and increased the planting of cash crops, including reducing a certain amount of cultivated land area and increasing domestic land reserves through returning farmland to forests and farming maintenance. .”
After hearing these words, Stalin felt that the other party was provoking, not introducing experience and results.
This year is indeed the year of the worst famine in Ukraine. As far as Stalin knows, the number of Ukrainians who have starved to death has exceeded 2 million, and this number is still expanding.
Even Stalin himself, he had a premonition that the problem was a bit serious.
Actually, 2 million is nothing. In the vast ocean of the pan-Soviet world, this is really not the most powerful.
The ideal of eliminating exploitation is beautiful and great, but whether it can be done is really a very complex problem in itself, as Trotsky said, is a new imperial bureaucracy.
Song Biao cannot evaluate this because he doesn't know how to evaluate it. He is not showing off the beauty and happiness of capitalist China to Stalin, but reminding Stalin that some things should not be done like that, a different way or
It would be better, and it is not a shame to continue buying food from China. It would be cruel to rather starve millions of people to death than to refuse to buy cheap food in order to prove their superiority.
Song Biao can't do such a thing.
If the German people are hungry, he probably won't be able to do it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to search on Baidu for Piaotian and collect and recommend it. Your support is my biggest
