In the direction of economic globalization and political multipolarization, peace and development are the themes of the times, but in the context of irreversible reversion, there are also some people who go against the tide, pursue hegemonism and power politics, and vainly try to establish a unipolar world dominated by themselves.
The most typical of these is that the United States, which has been playing the role of the world's police in recent decades, has come to the fore by relying on the Second Industrial Revolution, and has made a windfall in World War II, and the National Economic Product and Military Strength of the United States have grown by leaps and bounds, ranking first in the world and becoming a real superpower.
In October 1997, the President paid a military visit to the United States, and the following year, from June to July 1998, President Clinton returned to China, and in October of the same year, China sent a military delegation led by General Zhang Wannian to visit the United States again.
Speaking of this Zhang Wannian is not ordinary, it has always been known as a fierce general. During this visit to the United States, General Shally, the U.S. representative receptionist, couldn't wait to hug Zhang Wannian as soon as he saw him, and excitedly said: "Oops! I finally caught you today, I never caught you on the battlefield in Vietnam, and today I finally caught you. "So what's going on here?
Suffering at an early age
In 1928, the fierce general Zhang Wannian was born in Longkou City, Shandong Province, since childhood, his family was poor, and he was also exploited by the local landlords, and if there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters, Zhang Wannian's family could at least maintain a bitter cold life of food and clothing.
However, in 1931, Japan launched the September 18 Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, kicked off the prelude to the partial invasion of China, followed by a large-scale invasion of China, and six years later, in 1937, it again planned the Lugou Bridge Incident, in a vain attempt to eliminate China in three months, expand its international territory, and pass on the economic burden.
On May 19, 1938, Xuzhou fell, and the Japanese puppet army implemented enslaved military rule in this area, and with the fall of Shandong, the people were not happy, and Zhang Wannian's family was also deeply affected. In the early spring of 1943, Zhang Wannian's family could not open the pot, and his father was forced to go out helplessly to work for the Japanese to earn money.
On this day, because his father went out to borrow money and did not work for the Japanese in time, he was found by the local military leader to beat him up, and then dragged away. Since then, only Zhang Wannian and his mother have been left in the family to rely on each other, and Zhang Wannian has since hated the brutal and unscrupulous Japanese army, who let their country be destroyed and the family die, and the seeds of hatred took root in Zhang Wannian's heart and sprouted uncontrollably.
In June 1944, at the age of 16, Zhang Wannian resolutely signed up for the Eighth Route Army to engage in anti-Japanese activities, when he was assigned as a soldier in the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Beihai Independent Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region.
The bloody sacrifice of the battlefield and the life of licking blood under the knife edge made the little Zhang Wannian grow up quickly, and he has always taken the battle hero Ren Changlun as an example, longing for Ma Ge to wrap the body and kill all the Japanese puppet troops. After he entered the army, he repeatedly made military achievements with his fierce and not afraid of death, and soon made a reputation, promoted all the way, and made the enemy feel frightened.
Participated in the Vietnam War
In 1968, the United States launched the Vietnam War in a vain attempt to threaten military sanctions against our country from the southern tip, and the central authorities immediately ordered the war to resist the United States and aid Vietnam.
At that time, General Shali of the US Army was still a scout, responsible for the work of exploration and reconnaissance of the enemy, when Zhang Wannian was inspecting the Battle of Xishan, he was only nine kilometers away from General Shali.
However, even so, General Shali was unable to detect the traces of Zhang Wannian in the end, and the army led by Zhang Wannian won successive victories under the command of composure and calmness again and again, and the 127th Division not only left a deep impression on the Vietnamese soldiers, but also left an indelible impression on General Shaly.
This is the reason why General Shali admired Zhang Wannian, he was really too powerful, the action was traceless, unpredictable, with his brave fighting style to hit the enemy unprepared, he was the victorious general on the battlefield.
At the same time, Zhang Wannian's inspection of the Vietnamese battlefield also made our side familiar with Vietnam's terrain and geographical advantages, and according to this characteristic, Zhang Wannian analyzed the operational advantages to the Vietnamese army and how to use them, but he never expected that while dealing with the US army, he would also win a retreat for the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam ten years later.
Self-defense counterattack against Vietnam
In 1978, at this time, Sino-Soviet relations had already deteriorated, Vietnam hugged the Soviet Union's thighs, back to the tree to cool off, under the secret instructions of the Soviet Union, Vietnam in order to please the Soviet Union, took the initiative to provoke China, completely disregarded the kindness of the former Chinese aid, took the initiative to cross the Sino-Vietnamese border, intending to provoke war.
Our army also never backed down, and immediately launched a counterattack without mercy, and Zhang Wannian also participated in this counterattack battle, because he had led the 127th Division to inspect the terrain of Vietnam, so Zhang Wannian was even more comfortable fighting with the enemy.
At that time, the Vietnamese side even posted a propaganda slogan of "Eliminate the 127th Division and capture Zhang Wannian alive", which was enough to show the deterrent power of Zhang Wannian at that time. The 127th Division he led became a nightmare for the entire Vietnamese army.
Strong combat effectiveness was added to the familiarity of the enemy situation on the other side, Zhang Wannian won a gradual victory on the battlefield, which made the enemy feel frightened, and soon Vietnam showed a situation of great rout, and finally this self-defense counterattack ended in China's victory.
Later, in 1998, General Shally, then commander of the US Army, was so excited when he saw Zhang Wannian, and the two could not fight or know each other, once on the battlefield of Vietnam were opposing enemies, and now Sino-US reconciliation can also be regarded as mutually admired friends.
Before leaving to bid farewell, General Shally was still unsatisfied, clasped Zhang Wannian's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "The Chinese Army is a great army, and the US Army is also a great army. After saying this, General Sully's eyes were full of sadness, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
brief summary:
There is no eternal enemy in the world today, only eternal interests, soldiers and enemies can also turn into jade, the fierce general Zhang Wannian and General Shali are like this, when the former camp is opposed, the two helplessly have no opportunity to make friends, when the conflict is resolved, Fang knows that they have deep feelings for each other.
The essence of international relations is a relationship of interests, guided by the situation, putting the interests of the state first, and is the norms and conventions to be observed by modern qualified citizens.
