As for the upcoming Suez Canal War or the Second Middle East War, there is not much suspense.The process of the Second Middle East War is not important at all, because its ending has long been doomed, almost an iron case, and it cannot be overturned.
Let's go a little further... Watching the second Middle East war, it's better to see how far the Olympic national football team can go next month, and see if Chen Jingkai can win the card. This is still a little suspenseful.
Changes made so far include:
Things in Poland were resolved better than in history. After Gomulka came to power early, Poland calmed down, and a new agreement was reached with the Soviet Union to establish a new Soviet-Polish relationship.
Nagy did not take office on October 10 under the voice of the masses, but on October 25, the Soviet Union felt that Gro Erno was too incompetent, so he was pushed ahead of time, and Kadar and Nagy were split number and number two.The former is a reliable person, and the latter is a very unreliable person.
But this is not bad. The only reliable person in the top Hungarian leadership came to power ahead of time... The original historical line was that Kadar came to power only after Nagy made a killing to get the Soviet Union to return the carbine, hit Budapest twice, and arrest Nagy.
In the two street battles, Budapest CQB or Budapest BBQ, the Soviet army alone killed 722 people, and the casualties of the Hungarians can be imagined.
"Minister Li, I'm Tang Hua."
"How do you speak politely today." Li Kenong said on the other end of the phone: "Oh, the danger of the Suez Canal war is indeed increasing, and we have noticed it. Chief Su may hold a working meeting to analyze and study this matter later. .”
Tang Hua: "What is the danger of a counterinsurgency war in Budapest?"
"The research on Hungary is not in the General Staff. We don't have too many military exchanges with Eastern European socialist countries. By the way, Hungary, the situation seems to have changed, why don't you ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
……
"Comrades in the Hungarian Party, friends of the masses in Hungary, I am Wladyslaw Gomulka, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Polish Communist Party."
"I, and the people of Poland, are very concerned about what happened in Hungary and Budapest."
"What is happening in Hungary now, the Polish people had some similar memories a few months ago."
"Under the strong leadership of the party, under the protection of the principled and righteous masses, and under the candid and close cooperation and exchanges between the Soviet comrades and us, the Polish people got out of their confusion and did not let the few reactionary elements who mixed in with the masses succeed."
"Socialism is the self-emancipation of workers and the only way for mankind to eliminate exploitation and move towards progress. Both Poland and Hungary will firmly take the road of socialism. This is an unchangeable fact, and it is also the common value of all Polish and Hungarian people. "
"We should use the principles of Marxist materialist dialectics to look at the confusion and setbacks on the way forward, and we should also use Maozd's theory of contradictions to correctly distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions."
"I hope you can return to normal order and return to normal life as soon as possible."
Transcribed and translated original text of Gomulka's speech.In Hungary and Poland, Gomulka's speeches were broadcast directly on the radio.
Zhang Hanfu: "Their radio station broadcast Gomulka's speech today, and the transcript of his speech will be on the front pages of major Hungarian newspapers tomorrow. Hey, anyway, this should be a good thing for the situation in Hungary."
Tang Hua returned the manuscript to Zhang Hanfu and heaved a sigh of relief. "From April [-]th to March [-]th."
Zhang Hanfu: "What is [-]?"
"Possibility of Soviet involvement/non-intervention in the battle for Budapest."
Chapter 141, Unfinished conflicts and new wars
Gomulka's public speech to Hungary was the result of Khrushchev's discussions with him, asking Poland to come out and set an example, advising the Hungarians not to go all the way to the dark.
Since he took the position of the first secretary and negotiated with the Soviet Union, the two sides reached an agreement. Gomulka felt that everything in Poland was on the right track. Now that he came out to speak, he also had considerations for earning his own reputation in Eastern European countries in the future. , so hit it off.
In addition to the speech, there is another thing that slightly eased the situation in Hungary, that is, the Soviet Union urgently supplied 1 tons of flour and 3000 tons of meat, and Poland presented Hungary with 1500 tons of biscuits and canned luncheon meat, ready to eat after opening the bag.
However, Hungary will not calm down so quickly.Hungary has had too many problems in recent years.
A bad economy is the deadliest reason. The national development plan from 1950 to 1955 was completely nonsense, and a large number of factories started to be built for no reason, and the products produced were destined to be unsold, because Hungary did not need it at all. After 1953, these factories stopped production immediately after they were built, and the workers who had been organized and trained had no wages.
Because the economy is in a mess, the construction of these useless factories eats up a lot of budget, the Hungarian government lies down and pretends to be dead, workers in closed factories have no wages, workers in other factories have increased taxes, state-owned farms have no funds, and agricultural machinery has no diesel. No chemical fertilizers were issued, and Hungary fell into a food crisis in 1955.
Because the salaries of the security department were also levied income tax, the morale of the police was low, and the internal guards could barely make ends meet, but Rakosi, while still in office in early 1956, claimed to reorganize the Ministry of the Interior.
As for the Hungarian People's Army, Rakosi actually planned to disarm when the government's finances bottomed out. The People's Army is now in a very unstable state from soldiers to generals.
Therefore, Vice Chairman Liu suggested to Khrushchev that "the Hungarian police should be on the front line, the police cannot support the internal guards, the internal guards cannot support the Hungarian People's Army, and the Soviet army should stay at the end", In the view of Serov, chairman of the National Security Council of the Soviet Union, it was the same as not saying anything. Maybe the Soviet army would end up in the end.
Zhukov's mobilization order has been issued to the Soviet bases in Hungary and nearby.The Hungarian Special Army near Budapest is at the highest level of combat readiness. The ISU-152 self-propelled artillery is driven out of the garage one by one. The tank soldiers carefully wiped the gun bore and filled the ISU-152 with 152mm time-delayed grenades.
The reconnaissance planes of the Soviet Air Force conduct full patrols over Hungary three times a day, especially in the urban area of Budapest. The reconnaissance planes fly nine sorties a day.
In the artillery unit attached to the Carpathian Motorized Army, a BM-31-12 rocket launcher regiment received ammunition from the armory and delivered all of them to the mobile loading vehicle accompanying the rocket launcher.The Russian logo on the rocket reads "fuel-air warhead" very straightforwardly. This is a 300mm heavy-duty rocket with a warhead of the Cloud Explosion Bomb produced by China under the authorization of the Soviet Union.
This is great, the real fight, the street battle in Budapest is more lively than in history!
……
When Vice Chairman Liu in Moscow did not meet with Khrushchev, he basically stayed at the embassy in the Soviet Union. This is basically the communication center of China in Europe, and news exchanges with Eastern European countries are often transferred through here.The Chinese embassy in Hungary recently sent four long telegrams a day describing the situation in Budapest, which were transcribed by both the embassy and Beijing.
In addition to telegrams, the embassy in Hungary also used airmail to transmit more visual information such as photos and audio recordings, which were also available at the embassy in Moscow.
"The chairman has called." When Vice Chairman Liu and the delegation were thinking hard, Beijing sent a telegram.
Vice Chairman Liu took the telegram.The chairman said that you urged the Soviet army not to intervene rashly in Hungary and implemented the resolution of the central government, which is very good.However, the situation in Hungary has deteriorated too quickly in the past two days. If it just does not send troops and Hungary does not take self-help measures, then Hungary will be very difficult in the next week.
what to do? "The Soviet army cannot enter, but the Communist Party of the Soviet Union can enter. Comrade Khrushchev or Comrade Bulganin should make a working visit to Hungary as soon as possible, the sooner the better. As for who should go, my opinion is that Khrushchev will go in person , Bulganin remained in Moscow as a backup."
The chairman's suggestion was the same as his own arrangement during the Chongqing negotiations in 1945.
Vice-Chairman Liu conveyed the Chairman's opinion to Khrushchev the next day, and Khrushchev and Bulganin were immediately persuaded not to go.
……
Streets of Budapest.
On October 10, it was purchased for zero yuan. On October 23, the statue of Stalin was pulled down. On October 24, Hungarians who took to the streets began to cut the logo that reproduced the Soviet Union’s national emblem in the middle of the tricolor flag.
In just one morning, the national flags hanging on the streets of Budapest all have a round hole in the middle...
On the 26th, in view of Khrushchev and Bulganin's reluctance to go to Hungary, Serov flew to Budapest for a secret visit to Hungary.
Serov will not see Najib this time, and first meet with Kadar in secret.
"These groups actually regard Najib as an opinion leader." Serov said straight to the point that Hungary's biggest problem is now:
Najib.
Najib’s response to the speech in the square was unclear. If you listen carefully to his words, you will find that he is a little inclined to really withdraw the Soviet army from Hungary and withdraw from the Warsaw Pact!
The Soviet army still did not move.Topple the statue of Stalin, but the Soviet army did not move; clipped the Hungarian flag, but the Soviet army still did not move.But if this continues, one day the Soviet Union will break its defenses.
Kadar sighed: "I have known Nagy since the revolution. When there was no Communist Party in Hungary in 1918, he was a Bolshevik..."
……
On October 10, the street conflicts in Budapest finally evolved to the third stage.
Among the crowd holding banners on the street, two people suddenly pulled out their Porposa-41s and fired at the police maintaining order.
It was the evening of the 25th. A team of the Internal Guard defected, secretly opened the armory, and handed over seven or eight pistols and five long guns to people who claimed to be liberals, but they actually mixed in during the parade. Arrow Crossers and Halliists.
