"You guys can't figure it out until now, and Chinese the purpose of conducting nuclear tests!"
At the end of September 1969, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev, was angrily reprimanding the KGB officials, because just two days before China had conducted a sudden nuclear test, which disrupted the deployment of the Soviets who were sharpening their swords and preparing to show their swords to China. In fact, the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union have a long history.
China in the 1960s was arguably the worst period of the external environment, and the United States, the Soviet Union, India, and Chiang Kai-shek, coupled with natural disasters, brought great trouble to the nascent people's power.
In particular, in 1969, when the Battle of Zhenbao Island broke out, the soviets not only tore their faces, but even fought each other, and the Soviets, who had suffered losses, even clamored for nuclear peace with China, fortunately, the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons, we had Chairman Mao, and the wise and wise Chairman Mao resolved this nuclear crisis with only one telegram.
As we all know, the Cuban Missile Crisis of the last century was the fiercest confrontation between the two superpowers of the world, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the nuclear war was on the verge of breaking out, and the Cuban Missile Crisis lasted for 13 days, which can be said to be the 13 days closest to extinction in human history.
What many people don't know, however, is that the Battle of Treasure Island in 1969 was the closest the world to a nuclear war during the entire Cold War, after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Battle of Zhenbao Island was the inevitable result of the continuous deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations. China and the Soviet Union, the two parties have experienced a honeymoon period, comrades and brotherly friendship envy others.
During this period, the Soviet Union gave China tremendous and selfless help and support in the economic, national defense, education, diplomacy and other aspects, which quickly put China's national construction on the right track.
However, with the death of Stalin and the rise to power of Khrushchev, everything changed, and the Soviet Union was no longer the amiable big brother and became indifferent.
Due to the continuous enhancement of the National Strength of the Soviet Union, the attitude towards the former brothers has also changed greatly, and China is no longer a comrade and brother of the Soviet Union, but has become a pawn of the Soviet Union's global domination.
The Soviet Union no longer selflessly helped China, but tied China to the Soviet chariot for the sake of Soviet hegemony. This time culminated in Khrushchev's visit to China, when the Soviet Union made an unreasonable demand for the establishment of a combined fleet and for the establishment of a long-wave radio station in our country.
These demands seem reasonable, but in fact they are hidden mysteries. On the surface, the establishment of a joint fleet between the two countries and the construction of a long-wave radio station by the Soviet Union in southern China to facilitate the activities of Soviet nuclear submarines, it seems that the two countries jointly used this to ensure the security of China's ten thousand miles sea frontier, but in fact, because China's naval strength was relatively weak at that time.
Once the combined fleet is formed, the main weapon of battle must be mainly Soviet warships, so that the control of this force will fall into the hands of the Soviets, and it may also cause the Soviet Union to station troops in our territory for a long time, which is already a naked violation of our sovereignty.
How could the leaders of New China, who had just overthrown the three great mountains and had just defeated the foreign aggressors, accept such a proposal to lose power and humiliate the country? What is the difference between this and the imperialism that opened the door of China with guns and cannons?
Sovereignty issues were never negotiated, and Mao zedong simply rejected the Soviets' request.
With this as an inflection point, the honeymoon period between China and the Soviet Union was declared over, and the face-denied Khrushchev began a series of actions against China, recalling 1390 Soviet experts working in China at that time, stopping the supply of equipment and equipment urgently needed by China, and stopping more than 600 ongoing Sino-Soviet cooperation projects.
The treacherous behavior of the Soviets has seriously affected China's economic construction, aggravated our country's economic difficulties, and caused the relations between the two parties of China and the Soviet Union to continue to deteriorate.
On the border between the two countries, Soviet troops also repeatedly provoked, especially on Zhenbao Island. Historically, China and the Soviet Union were bounded by the Ussuri River, while Zhenbao Island was on the side of the main channel of the Ussuri River close to China, which, according to custom, should belong to Chinese territory. But the Soviets, who had an almost obsessive obsession with territory, didn't think so.
Since 1968, the Soviet army has repeatedly caused trouble around Zhenbao Island, killing and injuring our border people and border guards. Faced with the provocation of the Soviets, the Central Committee decided to counterattack.
In fact, the scale of the two battles in the Battle of Zhenbao Island is not large, they are company-level battles, the equipment of the Soviet army is superior, but the tactical level of the Chinese army is much higher than that of the Soviet army, the Chinese army with a tenacious will to fight, with inferior weapons to defeat the Soviets, the Soviet ace T62 tanks are on the list of the trophy of the Chinese army.
The defeat on Treasure Island was like a slap in the face, fiercely slapping the face of the Soviet leader At that time, Brezhnev, the leader of the world's number one power who made americans feel frightened and frightened, suddenly felt a big loss, in the face of failure, he did not reflect on the arrogance and hegemony of the Soviets, but actively planned to increase the intensity of retaliation against China.
As a result of the Zhenbao Island incident, the already tense Sino-Soviet relationship has become more incendiary, and a nuclear war is quietly approaching.
In fact, since the founding of New China, it has been subjected to nuclear blackmail by the United States many times, but most of the blackmail and threats of the Americans have stayed in the stage of mouth cannons, and this time the Soviets are really planning to attack China with nuclear bombs.
After the loss of face on Zhenbao Island, hawks in the Soviet Union gradually rose to the occasion, advocating a once and for all solution to the Chinese problem. The so-called once and for all is, of course, a surgical nuclear strike! Brezhnev, who had just been slapped hard by the Chinese soldiers, agreed with this suggestion.
Don't think that the Soviets were just joking, that the Soviets were really planning to fight a nuclear war against China, because on the night of August 28, Brezhnev asked the Soviet ambassador to the United States to inform the United States of the official Soviet plan for a nuclear strike against China.
Of course, the reason given by the Soviets was not to retaliate for China's dream of world hegemony in the face of Brezhnev, but to announce the disarming of China's nuclear weapons and to guarantee that it would not harm civilians.
The Americans, surprised to learn of the Soviets' crazy plan, would never allow the Soviet Union to carry out a nuclear strike against China, which was extremely detrimental to the global strategy of the United States.
The Americans thought of a clever trick that could not offend the Soviet Union but also inform China, and the US government poked the news to the media, and after the media hype, didn't this amount to notifyIng China in disguise?
On the second day, the Washington Post in the United States prominently published such a shocking news on the front page: "The Soviet Union Wants to Carry out a Surgical Nuclear Strike on China."
(The Soviets' nuclear blackmail and the torrent of steel armor on which they became famous can be said to have been invincible before, and the Eastern European countries that dared to throw their teeth at the Soviet Union were all subservient to the obscenity of the Soviets.)
The Soviets had thought that China was just a big Eastern European country, and under the naked nuclear threat, the Chinese government was bound to kneel to the bottom like those in Eastern Europe.
However, the Soviets were very wrong. China, which was poor and white in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, did not submit to the United States, and still dared to show its sword to the Americans, let alone let China now have nuclear weapons.
Mao Zedong quickly made arrangements after learning of the Soviets' plans. Under the unified deployment and command of Mao Zedong, a vigorous campaign of "digging deep holes and accumulating grain" among the whole people was in full swing.
Chinese people, in the spirit of not waiting for the time, did a good job of defense work day and night, and all kinds of air raid shelters appeared on the land of Shenzhou one after another. All kinds of arsenals have moved inland, and in Sichuan, as a strategic rear, many mountains have been quietly hollowed out, and under the deep mountains are anti-nuclear bunkers.
1969 is a special year, a good day for the 20th anniversary of the founding of New China, and as usual, Comrade Mao Zedong will appear in the Tiananmen Tower to inspect the parade of the masses.
However, due to the tension between China and the Soviet Union and the imminent outbreak of a nuclear war, will the Soviets suddenly attack when China celebrates the National Day? This is a big problem. We have no way of determining when the Soviets will act. But Chairman Mao had a way to keep the Soviets from moving.
In the face of the proposal put forward by the relevant departments to change the plan for celebrating the National Day, Mao Zedong said calmly: "No, no, this is to announce to the enemy that we are afraid, and I think instead of worrying about when the Soviets will act, we should preemptively attack, build a few atomic bombs first, and let the Soviets worry first."
When they react, our 20th anniversary will be over. ”
After listening to Mao Zedong's deployment, Premier Zhou immediately made arrangements! So just as China's National Day was approaching, the Soviet Union and the United States, as the world's top power, detected a huge release of energy on the land of China.
Chinese unleash a nuclear bomb! For a time, both the United States and the Soviet Union became nervous, especially the Soviet Union, which had planned to preemptively strike China, but at this time China conducted a nuclear test, which obviously had a very profound meaning.
In order to clarify the movements of the Chinese, U.S. and Soviet diplomats waited with great nervousness for the relevant announcements of the Chinese government. But what they were waiting for was reports of Chinese leaders and the people of the whole country celebrating the 20th anniversary of the National Day, and the nuclear bomb test seemed to have been forgotten, and there was no mention of it in some newspapers.
Chairman Mao's move is called silence is better than sound, and at this moment, the Chinese government is silent, which just gives the United States and the Soviet Union a strong psychological hint, that is, China is brewing a big move! The Americans even see China's move as a pre-war preparation for a nuclear war.
After a smooth national day, china is still going all out to deal with the nuclear crisis. The relationship between China and the United States entered a freezing point after the Korean War.
Theoretically, the United States does not want China to be strong, but in this Sino-Soviet nuclear crisis, the Americans secretly helped China, and it seems that the Americans also understand the old Chinese saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and in dealing with the Soviet Union, China and the United States can cooperate.
Although the United States does not like China, it is still willing to help China compared to making the Soviet Union bigger. If the relations between China and the United States were improved at this time, would the Soviets still be so arrogant? Therefore, under the wise leadership of Chairman Mao, Sino-US relations began to show signs of relaxation!
This time, it was the turn of the Soviets to be bigger, and watching nuclear blackmail not frighten China, but instead warm relations between China and the United States, which the ambitious Brezhnev, who regarded himself as the world's boss, was unwilling to accept.
The Soviet Union had to abandon its originally tough stance and instead seek to resolve the conflict diplomatically. In this way, under the wise command of Chairman Mao, a nuclear crisis in which the enemy is strong and the enemy is weak has passed smoothly. This is also the last time China has encountered nuclear blackmail, and since then, no country has dared to blackmail China with nuclear weapons.
