In the 42 years from the founding of New China to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s (Russian: Распад СССР, English: Dissolution of the Soviet Union), china-Soviet relations have gone through a historical process from intimacy to estrangement, even to war against each other, and finally to "calm". However, due to specific historical reasons, very few people know the "inside story", until the gradual declassification of some relevant historical materials, no one continues to know: in fact, as early as March 1969, the Chinese and Soviet armies once fought in Zhenbao Island, and there was a war! At that time, the Chinese army destroyed 17 Soviet tanks and armored vehicles that invaded China's Treasure Island, killing 58 people and wounding 94 people.
This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Soviet Union, Brezhnev was so angry that he was almost out of breath, and Marshal Grechko even threatened to carry out a surgical nuclear strike against China, so as to achieve the goal of "eliminating the Chinese threat once and for all"!
After Hearing this, Chairman Mao did not hesitate to shoot the case: "A handful of war freaks who dare to attack China's strategic bases are war, that is aggression, Chinese people will rise up to resist and will use revolutionary war to eliminate the war of aggression!" ”
However, the Soviet Union ignored our warnings and condemnations and continued to march toward the Sino-Soviet border in an attempt to force the Chinese government to submit to its obscenity through the threat of force.
According to relevant information, by May 1969, the Soviet Union had 54 divisions and more than 1 million Soviet troops stationed on the Sino-Soviet border; at the same time, the Soviet Union had sent about 200,000 additional troops to Mongolia. It is equipped with more than 50 long-range bombers and more than 400 medium-sized bombers that can be loaded with hydrogen bombs, clamoring for a nuclear strike against China.
At the same time, in order to curry favor with the United States and get the United States to support its plan and plan to carry out a nuclear strike against China, on August 20, 1969, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, Dobrynin, met with Kissinger and informed him of the Soviet Union's plan to carry out a nuclear strike against China, in order to seek the opinion of the U.S. government.
At that time, China and the United States had not yet established diplomatic relations, and AFTER discussions with Kissinger, US President Richard Nixon held urgent consultations with White House staff, who agreed that the greatest enemy of the West at that time was the Soviet Union, not China; China's existence and balances on the Soviet Union were conducive to the balance between the three countries and even the world, and also in the strategic interests of the West.
It is precisely because of the consideration of the United States' own global strategy and interests that the United States resolutely opposes the Soviet Union's nuclear strike on China and warns the Soviet Union not to mess around, it can be said that the Soviet Union really put its hot face on the cold ass of the United States.
However, since China and the United States have been at odds for 30 years, it can be said that there is a deep grudge, and if the United States directly tells China this information, China may not believe it. Therefore, how to disclose the information to China and convince the Chinese government that the United States is still quite thoughtful.
Finally, the U.S. government decided that helms, the head of the CIA, would hold a press conference on August 27, at which he revealed to reporters that the Soviet Union might carry out a nuclear strike against China.
The next day, the Washington Star poked out the news at the first time! As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar all over the world, and one voice was spoken condemning the Soviet Union's actions. And the Soviet Union, which was both a loss and a disgrace, had to turn around and scold the Americans for not talking about credit!
After reading the reports in the newspapers, the four marshals Ye Jianying, Chen Yi, Xu Xiangqian and Nie Rongzhen all believed that the Soviet army's nuclear attack on China was imminent and the situation was very grim. To this end, Chairman Mao issued a call to "prepare for war" and to base itself on fighting, fighting, and fighting a nuclear war at an early stage.
Premier Zhou reported: "The four veteran marshals believe that there is a great possibility of a sneak attack by the Soviet Union on this year's National Day, and will the National Day rally still be carried out?" ”
Chairman Mao listened and said dismissively: "It is not good not to hold rallies, are you afraid of others?" The rally is still going to be held, but I would like to open my eyes and see how powerful the atomic bomb really is. ”
Seeing that the premier was still not at ease, Chairman Mao smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, we will also release two atomic bombs to scare and frighten them, so that they will also be nervous for two days." When they understand, our festival is over. ”
Thus, on September 28 and 29, 1969, China exploded two atomic bombs in Rob Mi. At that time, the monitoring satellites of the United States and the Soviet Union received signals at the same time. They speculated that China's nuclear test was a test before the war.
Immediately after, the Soviet Union "happened" to decipher a letter of American intelligence: President Nixon ordered that the US military prepare to carry out nuclear strikes on 134 cities, military transportation hubs, and heavy industrial bases in the Soviet Union!
In fact, President Nixon's decree was issued by the United States using the old code that had been deciphered by the Soviet army, and it is obvious that the United States' move is quite meaningful! However, under the circumstances at that time, After Brezhnev received the information, he had no choice but to believe it.
Dobrynin then fed back the intelligence he had gathered back into the Soviet Union: "Nixon believed that China's interests were closely related to those of the United States, and if China was hit by a nuclear attack, they would think of it as the beginning of World War III." As soon as our first missile left the launcher, their plan of revenge began. ”
Looking back now, no matter whether the behavior of the United States at that time was out of "sincerity" or "false intentions", it still played a certain role in preventing the naked nuclear threat of the Soviet Union, at least it would make the Soviet Union have a kind of "rat thrower" afraid that when it carried out a nuclear strike against China, it would be "fucked" by the United States in its own backyard.
However, the most fundamental reason lies in Chairman Mao's strategic vision and persistence; it is precisely because of the insistence of the great leader Chairman Mao that China did not throw itself under the protection of its "nuclear protective umbrella" in accordance with the requirements of the Soviet Union and became a country that needed to rely on people's sniffles, and overcame the Soviet Union's tearing up of the aid agreement, withdrawing all the experts and funds for aiding construction, and at the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of natural disasters in our country year after year to force debts and other difficulties, independently and self-reliantly, to build its own atomic bomb, so that the Chinese nation really has its own waist and confidence.
Therefore, those militants in the Soviet Union were suddenly discouraged, and they silently spit themselves out that they wanted to carry out a surgical nuclear strike against China and achieve the goal of "eliminating the Chinese threat once and for all"! The saliva was swallowed back, and the battle of Zhenbao Island between the Chinese and Soviet armies was also declared over.
This is the little-known historical "inside story" and truth of the Sino-Soviet armies that took place on Zhenbao Island, as well as a series of international "events" triggered by this war.
Finally, I would like to say this: Thank you to the great leader Chairman Mao! Cherishing today's hard-won good life is what all Chinese should do! It is the most basic conscience of the Chinese!
