In the summer of 1952,
Korean
The war is in the midst of a glue, Beijing
Chairman Mao
The office received a message from
Macau
After putting down the emergency call, Chairman Mao frowned, and then with a big wave of his hand, he issued a message to the Chinese army
Domineering command,
War broke out between China and Portugal.
What exactly was reported on the phone?
And why did you give such an order?
Let's turn the timeline back to that turbulent era and uncover this untold secret together...

Sino-Portuguese border conflict
In 1952, it was the third year of the founding of New China. At that time, in China, in addition to The occupation of Taiwan by the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang, there were also
Hong Kong and Macau
These two lands, respectively
United Kingdom and Portugal
Two imperialist forces are in control.
In order to protect the sovereignty of our territory from infringement,
Both the Chinese government and the United Kingdom, as well as Portugal, have agreed that both sides have the right to set up sentries and demarcate them at the border
Neutral District
，
Anyone on both sides who steps in is considered a provocation
。
But no one would have thought that this agreement, which was supposed to be a border peace, would trigger a fight between China and Portugal
Military conflicts
July 15, 1952,
Our officers were patrolling near the cordon as usual, when they suddenly saw one
Black Portuguese soldiers
Sneaky appearances at the cordon, we are immediately on alert. The black soldier didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just peed on the cordon.
Seeing such a scene, our soldiers were right as an after-dinner joke and did not care.
But at this moment, perhaps because of the language barrier, or the Portuguese side had another plan, and even thought that we were mocking it
Take the initiative to shoot at our soldiers
In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, our soldiers maintained this
Great restraint
It was only symbolically dropped a grenade into the air to warn of the provocative behavior of the Portuguese side. Fortunately, the two sides did not cause casualties, and eventually dispersed unhappily.
It was thought that this was the end of the matter, but the suspicious Portuguese army used this as an excuse to repeatedly commit excessive acts, which almost led to the further development of the incident
deteriorate
Ten days later, on 25 July, our army was on duty
Zhao Xuedeng
While on a mission at the cordon, several Portuguese were spotted
Intentionally or unintentionally
The ground crossed the cordon and entered the neutral zone demarcated by both sides.
And this act is tantamount to a direct violation of our territory.
As a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, Zhao Xuedeng's job is to guard the security of the homeland, and the behavior of openly crossing the border can be stopped by necessary means.
However, in line with the principle of "not taking the initiative to provoke a conflict", Zhao Xuedeng once again maintained the greatest restraint, only giving these soldiers a verbal warning, hoping that they would immediately stop this inappropriate activity.
But the arrogant Portuguese soldiers did not spare and once again raised their guns and opened fire on our positions.
There was even a group of soldiers with them
Carry out a beating
This eventually led to Zhao Xuedeng's left arm being stabbed, and when we sent a rescue force, the Portuguese shot at our soldiers again.
Again and again, the patience is exchanged for the enemy's
Give an inch and take a mile
The news soon reached Chairman Mao's office in Beijing, and Chairman Mao held an urgent meeting on the matter to discuss countermeasures, and then issued a domineering order to our soldiers on the cordon:
"We must resolutely eliminate all enemies who have invaded, severely crack down on anti-China forces in the West, and play a role in military prestige and national prestige, so that the Portuguese will never be able to raise their heads at the border."
Our soldiers who received the order were like a shot of tonic,
Riveting enough, the enemy who was going to commit the crime was crushed on the position, and there was not even a chance to fight back.
It wasn't until the evening that the fighting was over.
But portugal at this time did not seem to realize its mistake,
Taking advantage of the coming night, openly setting up cannons and carrying out heavy bombardments against the residential areas of our country,
As a result, more residential buildings in our country were bombed, and one of the national flag poles was blown off and bright red
Red flag
It was hit on the ground.
The flag at the border has been knocked off, which no country can tolerate, and for this reason we have once again returned fire. Although this time our side won the victory, the five-star red flag flew again in the sky,
Unfortunately, the two flag-raising soldiers of our side fell forever in the place they protected with their lives.
The historical issues of the two countries
Who exactly gave the courage to make Portugal so
Arrogant
？ To solve this puzzle, you have to pull back the time to the 1870s and 1880s.
As early as the opium war, Britain forcibly opened the door of our country through the cannons of the ship, seized a large number of privileges and land from our country, and Portugal, as the representative of imperialism, also seized the opportunity to seize Macau as its own
。 In order to obtain permanent management of Macau, the Portuguese even used the Western powers to exert pressure on the Qing government, and finally coerced the Qing government to sign a contract with it in 1887
Treaty of Reconciliation and Commerce.
At this point, will Be Macau's
Permanent management rights
In his own hands. Perhaps it was the cowardice of the late Qing Dynasty that fueled the prestige of Portugal, or perhaps it was the self-belief that they had the support of the United States behind them, and their courage became increasingly fattened, and they began to invade our territory step by step.
So the Portuguese repeated the same trick,
On the one hand, the police cordon of our country continues to harass and violate, on the other hand, the Portuguese foreign minister has begun to lobby all countries, hoping that Britain, The United States and the United States can put pressure on China from the outside world.
In order to achieve their own purpose of encroaching on Chinese territory.
Sima Zhao's heart was clearly revealed.
Portugal, who thought they had a chance to win, did not know that this time they had miscalculated.
This conspiracy may be tried against the old China of yesteryear or the corrupt National Government, but it may be a test, but for the new China that has been baptized by fire
There is no chance of winning
Because they don't know, the opponent in front of them now, the American troops fighting in the Korean battlefield, have no ability to fight back, and deal with this time
Portugal has only 1500 people
More than enough.
In the face of bottomless Portuguese provocations, our army was stationed on the border
The 29th Regiment of Public Security immediately made combat deployments.
Give it to the enemy who comes to attack
Head-on blows
, let Portugal pay for it
A terrible price
In order to teach Portugal a lesson once and for all, and to end this conflict as soon as possible, Chairman Mao made a decision after many considerations, and it was this decision that directly softened the hardened Portugal!
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided after discussion that
A fatal blow to Portugal: to portugal in Macau to take
Blockade gates
measure.
At that time, almost all of Macao's basic livelihood sources, including grain, were transported from the mainland through Guangdong. So once the gate of Guangdong is closed, Macao will not be able to guarantee the supply of basic living materials, that is
So-called
Gate policy
。 Unsurprisingly, Portugal, which was tough a few days ago,
Instigated!
Great power
Faced with the dilemma, The Portuguese representative in Australia, Sprite, proposed that he hoped that the matter could be resolved peacefully through peace talks, and after getting a response from the Chinese side, Sprite sent it
He Xian and Ma Man-kei are two Chinese people
Went to Beijing as a plenipotentiary to negotiate.
Ip Kin Ying, who was in charge of the Macau alert zone at the time, believed that portugal had provoked the matter and should be punished
Economic sanctions
And report their views to the central authorities.
Chairman Mao proposed:
The big country is strict, the small country is lenient, and Portugal is a small country and can be lenient.
Chairman Mao's remarks not only showed the arrogance that a big country should have, but also showed a dismissive attitude toward Portugal.
During the negotiations, we have only one position,
That's a must
Portuguese side
Make a formal written apology for the incident, pay compensation, and promise the Chinese side that such incidents will never happen again.
These three conditions do not seem to be very strict, it can be said that we have done our best, but surprisingly, Portugal did not agree to it at the first time.
This chinese approach surprised Portugal. They couldn't believe that China, which had been devastated by war and had not yet fully recovered, had such a firm attitude.
However, after many consultations, they were finally forced by internal and external pressure to agree to the three conditions proposed by the Chinese side
, took the initiative to apologize, and paid 440 million yuan in old currency. At the same time, they also retreated the cordon 50 meters. At this point, the incident was over.
As a result, Portugal has also become a new country since the founding of New China.
The first one
A country that has submitted reparations to China because of a border conflict.
The ancients had a saying:
Don't be unpredictable
How tough the Portuguese were when they seized Macau, our country, in 1952, and how tough we were toward Portugal in 1952
。 Heavenly path is good reincarnation, they eat their own fruits, but also taste the helplessness and sadness when they are forced to make decisions.
The black soldier couldn't have imagined anything of his own
A soak of urine
It actually involved a fight between the two countries
Entanglement
Since then, the "decolonization movement" in Portugal has broken out frequently, and it has also announced that this former capitalist power has officially withdrawn from the stage of history, which is probably the biggest retribution.
In December 1999, Macao finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, which also shows the strength of China today!
But we must never forget that behind today's glory is countless people with youth and blood in exchange for a little bit!
On the big chessboard of the earth, our country has existed for more than 5,000 years, and in these 5,000 years, our opponents have changed wave after wave, and the four glorious ancient civilizations of the past are only China, and only China is left to sit firmly on this chessboard.
That's what it depends on
Indomitable and tenacious resistance
The Chinese spirit!
And although China, which is becoming increasingly powerful, disdains to become a world hegemon, it will never let foreign forces do anything wrong in our country again. Just like back then
Chairman Mao received
Khrushchev
As he said, "
There have been many imperialists in history who have tried to invade our country, but they have all been driven out in the end. We Chinese people
, never let something like that happen again
