On August 21, 1980, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Comrade Deng Xiaoping was being interviewed by a reporter from Italy. The reporter was named Farage. Unlike the interviews he had received before, the reporter in front of him was famous for being dared to speak and ask in the interview industry.
For Farage, all taboos that others avoid are talked about in the face of authenticity. During this conversation with Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Farage directly asked Comrade Xiaoping many questions about the New China. Of course, the answer given by Comrade Deng Xiaoping really convinced Farage.
Then, just when Comrade Deng Xiaoping thought the interview ended, Farage suddenly said, "Some people in the West regard you as China's Khrushchev !"
Hearing this, Deng Xiaoping, who looked calm, suddenly burst into laughter and said, "What do Westerners call me? I don't care, but I still understand Khrushchev. It's really stupid to compare me to Khrushchev."
The answers of the two were very profound. In the eyes of the outside world, Khrushchev completely denied Stalin , which led to the Soviet Union going downhill. Deng Xiaoping's answer affirmatively told the whole world that China would never repeat the same mistakes.
Both of them were very satisfied with this conversation. At the end, Farage stood up first, with a very happy expression.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping also stood up quickly, shook hands with Farage and said goodbye, "How is it? I passed the exam, right?"
"It's so wonderful!" Farage held it tightly and replied excitedly.
Episode 0, once Khrushchev was mentioned at that time, Deng Xiaoping would be mentioned, and the two would be compared. However, in this contest, there was no suspense, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping achieved an absolute victory.
1. The Dew Wind Corner at Hongmen Banquet
Speaking of the confrontation between Khrushchev and Comrade Deng Xiaoping, we must start with the of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping, one of the representatives of China, went to Moscow with Wang Jiaxiang, Liu Xiao and others to attend the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
At that meeting, Deng Xiaoping expressed his strong condemnation of Stalin's secret report in public. In his opinion, Stalin was an important international figure. Now treating Stalin like this is simply a nonsense. He absolutely does not agree with treating the revolutionary leader Stalin like this.
However, Deng Xiaoping's strong opposition at that time did not make Khrushchev repent.
Wait until June, after the " New York Times " announced the secret report to the world, an uncontrollable wave of anti-communist and anti-Soviet wave came toward the socialist camp . As the impact of that report became increasingly greater, there were more and more oppositions in the international community. The foundation of the socialist camp, which was already at a disadvantage, was even more hurt.
However, this incident did not make Khrushchev remember Deng Xiaoping. What really made Deng Xiaoping attract Khrushchev's attention was his conversation with Chairman Mao the following year.
In 1957, Khrushchev, who had always wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with Chairman Mao, happened to invite Chairman Mao to the Soviet Union to attend the celebration in this year, taking advantage of the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution.
Khrushchev's thoughts were long exposed. When Chairman Mao received his invitation, Chairman Mao immediately understood that Khrushchev had set up a "Hongmen Banquet".
Finally, after many discussions and careful considerations, Chairman Mao finally decided to attend the banquet in person and meet Khrushchev for a while, and to see with his own eyes what "gifts" Khrushchev prepared.
That's it. For Sino-Soviet relations, Chairman Mao decided to participate in the talks that were surging.
On November 2, 1957, accompanied by Deng Xiaoping, Soong Ching Ling and and others, Chairman Mao’s special plane successfully arrived at Moscow Airport.
What surprised Chairman Mao was that Khrushchev, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, not only came to pick him up, but also waited outside the airport early.
Just when Chairman Mao was surprised and puzzled by Khrushchev's behavior, the doubts were resolved after the two met. It turned out that what Khrushchev said in his letter was that Chairman Tito, Yugoslavia, who attended with Chairman Mao, would go to Moscow in the future because of a recurrence of back pain and had to be absent.
After learning about this, Chairman Mao was not in a hurry to speak. It was not until Khrushchev showed embarrassment that Chairman Mao said quietly: "Look, he is suffering from political back!"
Chairman Mao said this for a reason. In fact, when he agreed to come to Moscow to attend the celebration, he was told that Chairman Tito would also attend. Chairman Mao thought that Chairman Tito would attend with him, and there was an "ally" in the middle of the conversation with Khrushchev, so that he could suppress Khrushchev.
Who knew that when I arrived in Moscow, I realized that Chairman Tito would attend, which was just one of the baits to attract Chairman Mao.
This talk was destined to be extraordinary from the beginning.
Khrushchev's operation not only did not make Chairman Mao mess up, but instead strengthened Chairman Mao's idea of expressing his party's attitude towards him.
On the way to Kremlin , Chairman Mao was secretly planning, thinking about what will happen next and ideal response.
Suddenly, Chairman Mao, who had been frowning, had a smile on his lips. Obviously, Chairman Mao had already made up his mind about this talk. After the talks began, as Chairman Mao expected, Khrushchev tried the questions such as " Socialist Construction " and "evaluation of Social Democratic Party ".
In sharp contrast to Khrushchev who could not stand such a ease, Chairman Mao seemed very calm and composed. He did not answer Khrushchev's question positively, but instead directly turned the topic to his about to retirement.
Although Khrushchev had already known about this matter, Chairman Mao suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment, obviously he had some "premeditation".
He asked, "Who is taking over?"
Chairman Mao did not answer directly, but said this: "We have many talents in our party, especially a few comrades, and their abilities are not worse than me. They are fully qualified and competent."
Just as Khrushchev was about to ask further questions, Chairman Mao raised his hand and pointed not far away, signaled Khrushchev to look, and said, "The little man standing there not only has a flexible head, but also has a very advanced idea, and his future is immeasurable!"
can get such praise from Chairman Mao, and the little man in front of him definitely has extraordinary abilities.
Khrushchev and Chairman Mao's eyes, the little man felt it. When Khrushchev pointed at Deng Xiaoping and asked "Who is that little man?", Deng Xiaoping walked forward slowly and introduced himself at Chairman Mao's instructions: "I am Deng Xiaoping."
That's right, that little man is Comrade Deng Xiaoping. With that self-introduction, Comrade Deng Xiaoping also said this: "I am a little man, definitely not let this big man in the Soviet Union be afraid!"
This sentence seems to be a joke, but it contains indescribable profound meaning.
Deng Xiaoping, who was short but had an extraordinary temperament, immediately sucked away all Khrushchev's attention.
"Leave the thing you said to Deng Xiaoping and Sulov and others." When Khrushchev observed Deng Xiaoping carefully, Chairman Mao took the opportunity to say.
At this time, Khrushchev did not realize that the small man in front of him not only gave China the initiative in this negotiation, but also gave him a big stumbling block later.
2. The oral battle between the heroes saw the truth
In the next negotiations, China and the Soviet Union will still focus on the debate and focus on the "peaceful transition".
At that time, Khrushchev always insisted on making a peaceful transition and then entering socialism, so that he could embark on the path of parliament.In this regard, Chairman Mao held an objection. In Chairman Mao’s view, when facing reactionary organizations, he must not be lenient, and should not try to fight for it with peaceful means.
Therefore, when fighting with Soviet representative Suslov at the negotiating table, Deng Xiaoping, who upholds Chairman Mao's viewpoint, always firmly opposed the "peaceful transition" proposed by the Soviets. Not only that, Deng Xiaoping also made a reasonable and well-founded defeat of the "peaceful transition" theory, and pointed out all the one-sidedness and harm of the "peaceful transition" theory in front of the Soviets.
Under Deng Xiaoping's strong rebuttal, Soviet representative Suslov was speechless, and the negotiations ended with China gaining the upper hand.
In addition, Deng Xiaoping struck while the iron was hot and immediately submitted a formal written program to completely destroy Khrushchev's concept of "peaceful transition".
In this negotiation, Deng Xiaoping, who performed outstandingly, left an extremely deep impression on Khrushchev. This "little man" must not be underestimated.
On July 5, 1963, Deng Xiaoping, who once again led the Communist Party of China delegation to Moscow, further left an impression on Khrushchev that cannot be ignored.
This time I went to Moscow, the issue of the general line of the International Communist Movement , and the two countries publicly held relative opinions. On that day, at the welcome banquet arranged by Khrushchev, the atmosphere was still very tense, but he wore a smiling mask, saying that the Soviet Union was very eager for unity this time.
How could Deng Xiaoping not know Khrushchev's superficial work? At the banquet, Deng Xiaoping replied very solemnly: "We came here with a desire for unity and friendship. We sincerely hope that this time, the barriers and differences between China and the Soviet Union can be eliminated."
Who knew that when Khrushchev saw Deng Xiaoping like this, he said shamelessly that he believed that the current line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was always correct and the Soviet Union would continue to stick to it.
You should know that the wrong route Khrushchev insisted was the difference between China and the Soviet Union. The purpose of Khrushchev's statement is obvious, which is to make the CCP accept the views of the Soviet Communist Party.
Khrushchev's thoughts were simply delusions.
Deng Xiaoping answered this way: "Since the differences between China and the Soviet Union are difficult to eliminate, it is better to keep their respective views for the time being and refuse to further expand the debate on ideological ."
However, Khrushchev did not think so. In his opinion, the views of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were correct from beginning to end, so how could he compromise with the ideas of the Communist Party of China.
This welcome banquet, the result is conceivable, and the two sides parted in disagreement.
In the following formal talks, Deng Xiaoping was not afraid at all when facing Suslov who had prepared more than 70 pages of speech.
Wait until Suslov finished reading the manuscript intermittently, two hours had passed, but Deng Xiaoping was arresting the loopholes from beginning to end.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Xiaoping began to speak. As soon as he came up, he grasped the key points and directly questioned the Soviet side why he was talking about the differences between China and the Soviet Union and never mentioned the Soviet Union's withdrawal of all experts in China and the Soviet Union's unilateral breach of the contract?
's "straight ball" method made Suslov, who thought he was fully prepared, become speechless and ashamed. After
, during Deng Xiaoping's delegation in the Soviet Union, Deng Xiaoping always insisted on emphasizing that there were serious differences between China and the Soviet Union, and this point cannot be ignored.
Deng Xiaoping, who had a tough attitude, left a deep impression on the Soviet Union. When Deng Xiaoping returned to Beijing City , Chairman Mao publicly praised Deng Xiaoping for "a good deal with the Soviets."
In addition to this, Khrushchev, who had never beat Deng Xiaoping in the negotiation field, even bluntly called him a lifelong shame.
3. The two actually met
and Khrushchev. The difference is that the first time he met Deng Xiaoping was not in 1957, but in Beijing in 1954.
On September 29, 1954, Khrushchev and his group came to Beijing to visit China. At that time, the relations between China and the Soviet Union were still very harmonious.
At that time, Deng Xiaoping was just the nominal vice premier, but he happened to be the honorary director of China-Soviet Friendship Association . Therefore, Deng Xiaoping could still be seen in activities related to China and the Soviet Union. However, Khrushchev did not pay attention to this honorary director.
: The most profound impression that Deng Xiaoping left in Khrushchev was Deng Xiaoping's hairstyle.
htmlFor more than 0 years, the hair has been unchanged and thick and cut very short, which is very conspicuous among the leadership team.Especially after Khrushchev noticed Deng Xiaoping, someone told him that the hairstyle that Comrade Deng Xiaoping happened to be called "little flat head" in China. This led to the hairstyle of Deng Xiaoping being completely imprinted in Khrushchev's mind.
is as short and hard as a "little flat head". When Khrushchev was interviewed in his later years, he was asked how he evaluated Mr. Deng, and he described it as "small, but extremely difficult and difficult to deal with". The two images are exactly the same.
