"Actually, we have always been in the midst of fighting and preparing for war.√↓●↓" He Zhenzhong paused and then continued: "In these years, our experience in China can be described in this sentence, bloody
We don’t fight big wars, we keep having big bloodless wars, and we have small and bloody small wars (local wars) one after another. This is how we get our peace.”
Many people were shocked. They really didn’t know this. Hasn’t China always been in peace?
"From August 1949 to May 1950, the Battle of Zhoushan Islands destroyed a certain party's army that blocked our bases across the Yangtze River Estuary, Shanghai, and the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang; from May 1950 to August 1950, the Battle of Wanshan Islands,
Destroy the bases of a certain party's army that blockaded China's Pearl River Estuary and the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi; the Battle of Hainan Island in 1950."
“From 1950 to 1953, there was a well-known war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea; and then from 1959 to 1962, there was a Sino-Indian border defense war. In 1960, the China-Myanmar border survey also broke out.
In 1969, the Sino-Soviet border conflict broke out, and at the same time the Zhenbao Island War broke out; in 1974, the naval battle in the Paracel Islands broke out, and in 1979, we launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam."
Many people were so shocked that they couldn't utter a word for a long time. Many people never thought that Huaxia, which many people call a country that only knows how to protest, has never stopped using force to safeguard the country's unity and territory since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Complete. They knew for the first time that the history of China was actually a bloody history of war.
Who has any reason to say that the country can only protest? Who can say that the bloody spirit of the Chinese nation has been completely wiped out?
He Zhenzhong’s words are still ringing, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, “And from 1980 to now, we have never had a peaceful day. Things are happening continuously in the South China Sea, the Diaoyu Islands, and the southwest border.
They are all threatening us, but have we really not taken action? It’s just that the war is developing on a smaller scale..."
"Perhaps, you have also vaguely heard about the unusual movements of the 100,000-strong army on the Indian border the year before last year. Yes, it was us who led the people to kill their special forces who killed our border guards; Myanmar military planes brazenly broke into our territory and killed our countrymen.
Compatriots, we did not just watch. In less than a day, our people destroyed their army aviation regiment. During Indonesia's large-scale anti-Chinese campaign in 1998, we did not send troops, but after the incident, the top brass of the Indonesian government basically
It has been replaced many times, but last time, we sent troops."
All the Chinese people were stunned, just listening and watching quietly. They really didn't know that behind the peace they saw, there were so many bloody battles? There were so many soldiers silently
Bleed and sacrifice for the country.
"The reason why we fought the Vietnam War is that we want peace." He Zhenzhong's face also revealed an unprecedented determination, "We never want war, but we are never afraid of war."
Hearing the sound, those who resisted fell silent, and even had a look of shame on their faces. They seemed to be really being used. It was only then that they understood that the dilemma faced by China, which seemed to be rising steadily, turned out to be
So big.
"Perhaps, many people are complaining that because of the war, the economy has been affected and their lives have been affected." He Zhenzhong paused before continuing: "However, we have not always walked from this predicament step by step to where we are today.
Of?"
“Once upon a time, we were an ancient agricultural country that had been weak for hundreds of years. Warlords were at war with each other. After the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the people were in dire straits. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we experienced a civil war that was clearly a civil war, but was actually a national liberation war to fight against the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and dismember China. It was completely
The country is poor and the people are impoverished, and their bodies are covered with wounds and devastation.”
“Back then, our agricultural output value accounted for 80% of the national economy. Agriculture relied on the weather, manpower and animal power, shovels and wood plows, and a small-scale farmer economy from household to household. The productivity was low and unstable, and disasters would occur if God did not act well.
There are areas all over the country that are either experiencing drought or flooding every year.”
"At that time, our industry was fragmented and disorganized, and heavy industry was not worth mentioning. We relied on imported equipment, imported oil, imported weapons, imported cars and aircraft, imported rubber, imported medicine...even the tinplate used to make cans.
You have to rely on imports.”
"At that time, our illiteracy accounted for 77% of the total population. We were described by Khrushchev of the Soviet Union as "a pile of meat." We needed capital but no capital, no technology, no foreign exchange, and no overseas market.
overseas market."
"At that time, Western countries had already begun to impose a blockade and embargo on us, completely banning the delivery of strategic materials including arms, steel, vehicles and ships to China; at that time, the ground belonged to China, but the sky and ocean were opposite. The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China
Why was it set at three o'clock in the afternoon instead of the later customary ten o'clock in the morning? That was because of the need for air defense."
"And even under that circumstance, we never surrendered, and the war against aggression never stopped. We defeated the American imperialism, defeated Tsarist Russia, and defeated the country that once claimed to be the world's third military in a short period of time.
Vietnam is a strong country; it was under those circumstances that we (Wang Wanghao) safeguarded our sovereignty and territorial integrity and got to where we are today step by step."
He Zhenzhong's voice slowly sounded, "So when I heard that the anti-war wave was getting stronger and the calls for troop withdrawal from Vietnam were getting louder and louder, I was very sad. Could it be that our citizens really can't even see the essence of war clearly? Even if
Is it just a little bit? Could it be that today, when conditions are better, we have lost the courage we had back then? Has the bloodiness and unyieldingness of us Chinese people really been wiped out by red lights, green wine, and all kinds of temptations?
?”
Everyone who heard the words was shocked and speechless for a long time. Everyone's expression was different. After all, everyone had different thoughts.
He Zhenzhong also paused for a while without speaking. Only after a while did he speak again.
