Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

A bunch of old nobles, how dare they dream. The enemies Zheng Weishan had fought over the years were all regular troops. Even if those old nobles in Tibet rebelled, what strength would they have?

Their so-called combat effectiveness is probably not even as strong as that of some bandits.

Zheng Weishan has already started thinking about how to entertain these old Tibetan nobles after going to Tibet.

Wei Hongjun shook his head.

He said: "No, you have to let them rebel, and they must rebel. Only when there is chaos will all the hidden enemies jump out. The most dangerous enemies are always latent enemies. When the enemies jump out, then deal with them all at once. Bury all the old nobles who are dissatisfied with the new government and new policies at once, and clear the obstacles for the future development of Tibet.

It was just a matter of suppressing the rebellion, so why did Wei Hongjun need to specifically instruct Zheng Weishan? Wei Hongjun wasn't afraid of them rebelling, but rather of them not rebelling. If they didn't come forward, Wei Hongjun would have a harder time dealing with them.

After all, when Tibet was liberated, the central government and the old Tibetan aristocracy signed peace terms.

As long as they behave themselves, the central government won't bother them. But keeping these people around won't be beneficial to Tibet's future. Only if they rebel and join the rebellion will the central government have an excuse to deal with them.

"Once you go to Tibet, what you have to do is keep an eye on these people. You have to put down their rebellion as soon as it happens. You have to allow them to rebel, but you can't give them the opportunity to cause chaos in Tibet."

Zheng Weishan nodded.

Aren’t they just some old aristocrats who want to rebel? Zheng Weishan doesn’t take them seriously.

Wei Hongjun continued: “This is only the first reason why I asked you to go to Tibet. The real reason I asked you to go to Tibet was because of India.

"Chief, are you worried about a military conflict between India and us?"

Zheng Weishan immediately grasped Wei Hongjun's meaning.

If it weren't for this reason, there would be no need for a general like Zheng Weishan to go to Tibet to take charge.

Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "Among the countries surrounding us, India is the only one capable of threatening our national security."

"India is a large country with a population of over 400 million. And because it was once a British colony, it has a certain industrial base. When my country was liberated, its main industrial and agricultural data were not as good as India's."

"In addition, my country and India have always had differences on the border issue. Because the British colonists left many border disputes, my country and India have held many negotiations on the border issue, but have never reached a formal border agreement."

"Under normal circumstances, India would be wary of my country's possession of atomic bombs and its past defeat of US imperialism in the Korean War. Therefore, it would not dare to conduct military probing on the border issue."

"But once the US provides political, economic, and military support, India will become bolder. Since Nehru initiated the Non-Aligned Movement, he has always considered himself the leader of a nation outside the two superpowers of the US and the Soviet Union. If he could gain US support, Nehru might target my country, making India the true third largest power in the world."

Nehru was an Indian political leader with ideas and abilities.

Although everyone says that Gandhi is a great Indian and the leader of India's independence, in fact, without Nehru, Gandhi would not have been able to accomplish anything. Nehru was the biggest contributor to India's independence.

However, since the influence of the Non-Aligned Movement has expanded rapidly, Nehru's ambition has also grown. Nehru wants to be a true, world-class political leader.

Zheng Weishan thought for a moment and said, "Chief, isn't India an ally of the Soviet Union? Even if we are not allies, we shouldn't go to war with India, right?"

After Britain withdrew from South Asia, India was pro-Soviet and Pakistan was pro-American.

With the development of the internet, many people, upon seeing any cooperation between Pakistan and the United States, begin to assume that the "iron brother" Pakistan is about to rebel. In fact, this is due to a complete lack of knowledge of Pakistan's history. The United States is a traditional ally of Pakistan, and the two sides have had relations since Pakistan's independence.

It's only because Pakistan later improved its relations with China that it became known as "Pakistan Iron Country." However, this doesn't mean that Pakistan's improved relations with China mean it has no ties with the United States. On the contrary, Pakistan's ties with the United States remain very close.

The same is true of India, a traditional Soviet ally. Even in the Soviet Union's eyes, Nehru was a socialist. Many of India's economic policies were modeled after the Soviet Union, with its primary policy remaining a planned economy, leading some to claim that India is also a socialist country.

Wei Hongjun shook his head and said, "India is an ambitious power, and Nehru is an ambitious politician. As a major power, their diplomacy cannot be hijacked by any other country. India's good relations with the Soviet Union do not mean that they will follow the Soviet Union's lead, nor does it mean that they will have good relations with my country. As long as the benefits offered by the United States are sufficient, Nehru will definitely dare to take risks."

"Although I hope the issues between us and India can be resolved through diplomatic negotiations, we cannot rely on negotiations for everything. We still need to make necessary military preparations. This is the biggest reason why I asked you to go to Tibet."

"After you go to Tibet, you need to make our troops go from peacetime to combat readiness.

You can also apply to transfer two or three regiments to Tibet and prepare for the storage of supplies. Tibet's biggest problem is transportation. Once a war breaks out, the logistics problem will be the most serious, so it is necessary to prepare for war and prepare for the storage of supplies.

"If a military conflict with India really occurs, we must completely resolve the Indian issue with lightning speed. Strike and retreat, strike and retreat, use this method to gather the Indian army and then fight a war of annihilation. At that time, the Tibet Military Region and the Kunming Military Region will cooperate to completely cut off India's hand reaching out to my country's Tibet area and completely resolve the biggest hidden danger in China's southwest. 95

If India dares to provoke and use force against China, then the Wei Hongjun will not only fight a war of annihilation, but also directly break India's backbone. Let the world see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

"How is it, can you complete the task?"

Zheng Weishan immediately stood up and said: "Resolutely complete it

Task."

"I don't have any extra time to give you. You must leave for Tibet as soon as possible, adapt to Tibet, and then start preparing. This year and next year are the most dangerous times.

"Yes."

"You and Comrade Du Ping also met in North Korea. Comrade Du Ping has a high level of theoretical knowledge and excellent work ability. After this trip to Tibet, don't try to do everything alone. Be sure to discuss things with Comrade Du Ping."

"Yes."

After sending Zheng Weishan away, Wei Hongjun also reviewed the situation to see if there was anything he had overlooked.

Of course, Wei Hongjun reviewed not only the Tibet issue, but also the problems that would occur in the Soviet Union in 1962 and the personnel arrangements of the Ten Major Organizations.

In particular, starting in 1962, the Soviet Union, like China in the previous three years, suffered a severe drought, leading to a sharp drop in grain production. Khrushchev's farm reforms and "corn revolution" initially yielded promising results, with grain production increasing. However, the aftermath became increasingly severe. The growth in grain production was completely disproportionate to investment, and Soviet agriculture began to suffer a significant blow.

As a result, the Soviet Union even reinstated the food stamp system. Starting in 1962, for several years, the Soviet Union exported large quantities of low-priced oil in exchange for food. Even this was insufficient, and thousands of tons of gold were used to purchase food. Importing large quantities of food was necessary to maintain domestic demand.

After the Soviet Union itself fell into a food crisis, it interrupted food exports, which directly affected the food security of the entire socialist camp.

But after the Soviet Union began to rely on imported food, it fell firmly under the control of the United States. The United States began to use oil and food to manipulate the Soviet economy.

Of course, this is an opportunity for China, but Wei Hongjun needs to think more about how to make use of it.

There are also ten major personnel arrangements, which is what Wei Hongjun cares about most.

Only if the personnel arrangements for the Tenth National Congress are stable can the succession to the Eleventh National Congress be smooth. To prepare for this personnel arrangement, Wei Hongjun is preparing to amend the Party Constitution again, expanding the list of Politburo members from 19 to 21.

"Secretary Wei, Comrade Wei Hongjie and Comrade Zhang Qiuqiao have arrived."

1106 campaign

"Secretary Wei."

"sit."

After Wei Hongjun took charge of the central work, time became more precious.

Those who can report to Wei Hongjun are basically required to be the top leaders of various central units, or the top leaders of local provincial party committees and governments.

Moreover, reports from many units were not sent directly to Wei Hongjun. Instead, they were processed by the Secretariat, the State Council, and the Central Working Committee, and then reported to Wei Hongjun.

Compared with them, Wei Hongjie is currently the commander of the Beijing Military Region.

Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Political Department, Zhang Qiuqiao (not the original Zhang Qiuqiao, but replacing someone's name) is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department.

The two people's levels are not very low, but they usually don't have the opportunity to report their work directly to Wei Hongjun.

This time they came to Wei Hongjun because Wei Hongjun took advantage of the gap in the National Propaganda Conference of the Central Propaganda Department to find the two of them.

Wei Hongjun and the other two were relatively familiar with each other, as they all came from the Jin-Cha-Ji region. Wei Hongjie was known as one of the three great writers of the Jin-Cha-Ji region, and many of the region's popular propaganda works were written by Wei Hongjie.

After graduating from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Wei Hongjie came to the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region. He was a cadre who grew up entirely in the region. With this connection, Wei Hongjun knew him during the Anti-Japanese War.

As for Zhang Qiuqiao, Wei Hongjun was even more familiar with him. Due to his exceptional theoretical background, Zhang Qiuqiao quickly rose to prominence in the Jin-Cha-Ji propaganda field. By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was editor-in-chief of the Jin-Cha-Ji Daily. When the North China Bureau was established, the People's Daily and the Jin-Cha-Ji Daily merged to form the new People's Daily, with Zhang Qiuqiao serving as deputy editor-in-chief.

By then, Wei Hongjun had already begun to preside over the North China Bureau, and Zhang Qiuqiao was a prominent figure in the bureau's propaganda field, so Wei Hongjun and Zhang Qiuqiao had met many times. It could even be said that Zhang Qiuqiao was working under Wei Hongjun during that period.

Later, Zhang Qiuqiao left North China and went to East China. In East China, Ke Qingshi and Zhang Qiuqiao were both from North China. When Ke Qingshi was the secretary of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Qiuqiao was ordered to establish the "Shijiazhuang Daily", so the two had an intersection in North China. A few years ago, the Propaganda Department wanted to transfer Zhang Qiuqiao back to Beijing and wanted him to be in charge of the "People's Daily". But Ke Qingshi persuaded Zhang Qiuqiao to stay

Zhang Qiuqiao is currently in charge of publicity work in Shanghai.

"Have you read the documents I asked Comrade Zhao Han to show you two?"

"Yes."

"Looked."

Both men nodded.

Wei Hongjun asked, "What do you think?"

Wei Hongjun's time is precious, and it is impossible for him to meet with them before letting them know what he wants to do. If that were the case, how would Wei Hongjun have time to deal with other work?

Therefore, Wei Hongjun asked Zhao Han to give them the "basic pension" documents in advance, giving them time to think about it. After this meeting, they could get straight to the point.

"Secretary Wei, I think this is a very good idea."

Zhang Qiuqiao spoke immediately.

"Bourgeois rights are eroding our nascent socialism. If we leave them unchecked, people will forget the original purpose of the revolution and think bourgeois rights are normal. The 'basic pension' is a powerful counterattack against bourgeois rights," he said.

Zhang Qiuqiao is 44 years old, and his history is complex. It's not just his own history that's complex, but also that of his grandfather, father, and even his wife.

But apart from this complicated history, Zhang Qiuqiao himself has a strong theoretical foundation and is truly talented.

In history, Zhang Qiuqiao wrote an article in 1958 titled "Breaking the Bourgeois Legal Thought." Many people later said that his article had a huge impact on New China, promoting the "leftist thinking" of New China.

The flooding.

But after his article was published, it was ignored by the national propaganda community. Few newspapers reprinted it, and the few articles that did appear were critical.

"Comrade Zhang Qiuqiao, do you mean to say that you support the 'basic pension' policy?"

"Yes."

Zhang Qiuqiao said with certainty: "We are a socialist country. The purpose of our revolution is to build a country where everyone is equal. However, since the wage reform, compared with the supply-side system, bourgeois legal thought has emerged in all aspects of society. This bourgeois legal thought is incompatible with our socialist country."

"Comrade Zhang Qiuqiao, you need to know one thing. That is, Marx and Lenin both said that before entering communism,

Before the establishment of a new society, "distribution according to work" will be the mainstream of social distribution. As long as "distribution according to work" is implemented, society will not be able to eliminate the existence of bourgeois legal rights.

Wei Hongjun interrupted.

Bourgeois legal rights, to put it bluntly, are simply a manifestation of class. Because everyone has different backgrounds, abilities, and platforms, political and economic disparities arise between people. This is a general explanation of bourgeois legal rights.

Socialist countries are also unable to prevent the emergence of different social classes. This is an objective reality that all Marxists and Leninists recognize.

Zhang Qiuqiao nodded and said, "Secretary Wei is right. Our country is currently in the primary stage of socialism, and 'distribution according to work' is the main means of distribution. Therefore, the existence of bourgeois legal rights is inevitable and normal."

“But bourgeois legal rights exist and become socialist

Flow is a completely different concept. Just like our country is a socialist country, but it also has capitalist elements. European and American countries are capitalist countries, but they also have socialist elements.

"The difference between the two lies primarily in whether socialist or capitalist factors dominate. We are a socialist country, so of course we must allow socialist factors to become the mainstream. Therefore, we must not allow bourgeois legal rights to dominate society. We must let the people know that our country is a socialist country where everyone is equal. Although bourgeois legal rights exist in society, they are not only not mainstream, but we must oppose and eliminate them."

"But propaganda alone is never enough. We must develop policies that oppose bourgeois legal rights.

The basic pension is exactly this type of policy.”

Zhang Qiuqiao is a smart man.

He would analyze the central leadership's thinking based on their speeches and policies. A person's words and actions will consciously or unconsciously reveal his inner thoughts.

Zhang Qiuqiao, on the other hand, was a master of observation, analysis, and induction. He only joined the revolution in 1938, and his family history was complex. His paternal grandfather was not only a local landlord but also suspected of treason during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Yet, he was able to rise to his current position, relying not only on his talent but also on his ability to understand the minds of his superiors.

Zhang Qiuqiao had frequent contact with both Chairman Mao and Wei Hongjun. During several of Chairman Mao's visits to Shanghai, Zhang Qiuqiao accompanied Ke Qingshi in receiving him. As for Wei Hongjun, it goes without saying that Zhang Qiuqiao worked with him for several years in North China. Through his interactions with Chairman Mao and his analysis of his writings and public statements, Zhang Qiuqiao discerned a deep commitment to fairness.
