The wind in 1948 was a little noisy. First, Egypt burned a fire, and then Poland started to stir up trouble. Once, there was a possibility of turmoil in the entire Central and Eastern Europe, and even once, Rand Company made a prediction that Eastern Europe would change, but all this came to an end with the strong entry of the Red Army into Warsaw and Poznan.

This vigorous movement quickly turned into soap bubbles like it expanded rapidly. The Soviet Red Army slugged the situation hard and shocked those guys who were ready to move. Anyway, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, who had the idea of ​​following up before, fell out in an instant because the Russians were too ruthless in their attacks.

Because the Soviet Red Army not only quelled the turmoil, but also changed the blood of the Communist Party of Poland. The Polish president and the first secretary of the Polish Communist Party, Beirut, announced that he had "retired from illness" and returned to Moscow to "cultivate". But in fact, Beirut was not sick at all. His so-called retired from illness was actually forced by the Soviet Union. At that time, Li Xiaofeng made it clear to him: "Do you want to live? Or do you want to die? If you want to live, honestly report and resign from all positions and retire from illness, and then go to Moscow to recuperate. If you want to die, we will announce that you will participate in and incite this Poznan **** conspiracy incident and shoot you."

This was the first time Beirut saw such a sharp immortal. Some immortal had almost no choice. He was just like me and those who would prosper against me and die. At that time, Beirut looked at the kgb special forces around him with live ammunition, swallowed and smeared, and signed the resignation report with his trembling hands. After all this, he seemed to have been pulled out of all his strength and sat on the chair in a daze for a long time.

Beirut withdrew from the historical stage. He and his gangsters were taken to Moscow and imprisoned in a kgb Moscow senior retirement home. The so-called retirement home is basically people who are similar to Beirut, which is actually just a high-level prison.

After Li Xiaofeng used thunder to solve the Poznan incident, he did not stop immediately. The Poznan incident was also a good opportunity for him. He had been entangled with Sverdlov before, which made it difficult for him to reform the Soviet economy. However, today, the two sides had already torn their faces on the Poznan issue, and Li Xiaofeng did not have to save face for Sverdlov, and using Poland as a test field can also avoid domestic resistance. So he simply let go of his hands and feet to reform the Polish economy.

The previous Poland's economic system was completely copied from the Soviet Union, which was almost a replica of the Soviet model. The facts proved that this model was indeed not suitable for the actual situation in Poland. The enthusiasm of the farmers was completely consumed by collective farms, and coupled with the ruthless natural disaster, Poland's agriculture was almost destroyed. As for industry, Beirut also copied the Soviet Union in a comprehensive manner, unilaterally emphasizing the development of heavy industry, almost investing 70% of the resources in this regard.

The result proves that this is not ideal. Poland has a weak foundation in heavy industry, the products produced are backward and expensive, and there is no international market at all. However, because the light industry does not have enough investment and is very difficult to achieve and the production capacity is seriously insufficient, it cannot meet the daily life needs of the Polish people. How can the people have no objection if this continues for a long time?

Therefore, the first thing Li Xiaofeng did after intervening was to completely abolish the development plan formulated by Beirut when he was on the stage, take out a large amount of funds and resources from the bottomless pit of heavy industry, and give priority to the development of light industry. As for agriculture, collective farms were abolished and agricultural taxes were exempted to increase farmers' production enthusiasm.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Xiaofeng directly abolished the highly concentrated planned economy and handed over a considerable number of industries that should not be controlled by the state to the market. This reform is also called Andre's new economic policy.

The reason why it is called the New Economic Policy is that Li Xiaofeng is also trying to block the mouths of the domestic opposition. The mentor also had a new economic policy back then, and some aspects of the new economic policy of a certain immortal are also very similar to the mentor's policies. This fundamentally blocks the mouths of those diehards who attacked him for capitalism. You can't say that Lenin is also a capitalist.

The significance of this reform is far-reaching. It not only provides a realistic basis for the subsequent economic reform of the Soviet Union, but also leads new attempts to be made in surrounding Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria and other countries.

For example, there was a debate within the German Communist Party before about what path to go in the future, because in the eyes of many German Communist Party, it should be impossible to learn from the experience of the Soviet Union, and Germany's current heavy debt burden is also suitable for the Soviet Union's economic policy of concentrating its efforts on major tasks. However, Li Pokernet and Luxembourg do not fully agree with this opinion. After living in the Soviet Union for many years, they are well aware of the drawbacks of the Soviet model. If they copy them completely, they may not adapt to the situation in Germany. Moreover, the previous German economic model was not suitable for the Soviet Union, but what made Li Pokernet and Luxembourg depressed was that they knew that there were problems with the Soviet model, but they could not oppose it openly. Opposing the Soviet model is equivalent to opposing the Soviet model. Now the order in Central and Eastern Europe was established by the Soviet Union. Can you challenge the founders of the order, and you will have good results?

Therefore, Li Pokernesi and Luxembourg could only learn the Soviet model carefully and move closer to the Soviet Union on the premise of maintaining the market economy as much as possible. To be honest, they have been struggling hard for the past three years. It was not until a certain immortal announced that they would implement a new economic policy in Poland that their pressure was reduced and they could resist those voices that demanded full nationalization.

Li Xiaofeng's experiment in Poland can be said to have opened up the direction of Central and Eastern European countries to choose a new development path. What is particularly commendable is that such changes did not accompany social turmoil and did not reduce the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in Central and Eastern Europe. In short, this was a beneficial experiment, but not everyone liked this experiment at that time. For example, Sverdlov, he was quite disgusted with this experiment.

This disgust is not only because Sverdlov believes that the current economic model of the Soviet Union is the most ideal and best economic model, but also because a certain immortal was too embarrassed to give him face before. Under the dual influence, he was naturally even more angry.

And it should be noted that 1948 is very close to 1950. According to conventional experience, most of the contents of the 1950 conference were actually decided in 1949, which means that there is really not much time left for Sverdlov. So he really has to take some practical actions.

The so-called practical action is that the first is to attack Li Xiaofeng's economic policy is a rebellious, and the second is to rise to the political level and completely deny Li Xiaofeng's political line. Therefore, Sverdlov carefully studied the economic policy of a certain immortal, trying to catch everything that can be used as a handle for attack.

As the old saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who are interested. For those who are interested, it is absolutely possible to take advantage of loopholes and pick the bones in the eggs. For example, for Sverdlov, Li Xiaofeng's new economic policy is to follow the capitalist path. So he immediately gave Li Xiaofeng a capitalist hat.

To be honest, the title of this hat made him very proud, because the name can be clearly seen at a glance. For the Communist Party members, the capitalist attribute is the greatest negation. If the hat is tightly slapped, then even if you are Sun Wukong, you will not be able to turn over!

So at the next plenary meeting of the Political Bureau, Sverdlov attacked Li Xiaofeng crazily. According to him, a certain immortal was a spy and traitor who invaded our party. He was a bad embryo that went up to the top of his head and down to the soles of his feet. He had to be knocked over and stepped onto ten thousand feet immediately.

But what is very interesting is that Li Xiaofeng disagreed with Sverdlov's vicious attack. He sat there leisurely and did not take Sverdlov's attack seriously.

This made Sverdlov very confused. He couldn't help but feel a little self-doubted. Is this attack not powerful enough or not ruthless enough? Or is someone already scared silly?

Sverdlov hoped that someone would be stupid, but he knew it was absolutely impossible. With someone's urinary nature, it was impossible to be scared to be fooled. Could it be...

Sverdlov guessed very correctly. Li Xiaofeng did not consider Sverdlov's attack, because it was obvious that he had a certain advantage in the political bureau, but in the military commission, he had a greater advantage. He was not afraid of Xiao Si's attack at all. History tells us that the one with a big fist is the master, and now Li Xiaofeng is the one with a big fist.

What's more, Sverdlov's arguments about capitalist-roading factions and his behavior of putting them on the hat are also ridiculous. If Li Xiaofeng is a capitalist-roading factions, then capitalist-roading factions may account for more than half of them in the political bureau, and there is even a capitalist-roading factions among the Standing Committee who is more determined than Li Xiaofeng, who is Bukharin?

You should know that Bukharin's previous silence was not a big sleep. During those years, he studied various economic data from the Soviet Union in detail and studied a large number of economic theories. Then Lao Bu came to a conclusion that the current economy of the Soviet Union had serious problems. Or there were serious problems with the highly concentrated planned economy. The Soviet Union really attached too much importance to the "quantity" of the plan, that is, as long as the quantity meets the standards, everything would be OK. As for whether the products produced are of high quality, whether they meet the user's requirements, and whether they can be sold, they are not a concern for manufacturers.

If the products have been seriously disconnected from the needs of the people, even the Soviet people now know that German goods are more useful than local goods.

This is not the worst. What's worse is that when the plan make the plan indicators, they just make decisions to meet the pursuit of the world's first indicator by a few leaders. As for whether the coal, steel or electricity produced are really useful, they are indifferent. Anyway, everything is based on quantity, and everything is to pursue that first. As for the actual needs of society? What is that? Can you get promoted and make money?

Anyway, such plans are endless, and the most serious thing about a highly concentrated planned economy is that once the planning is unscientific, the society will have problems. It is not a year or two, or even ten or eight years, but what about longer? After twenty or thirty years, these problems will explode in a concentrated manner. According to the figures obtained by Bukharin, according to this approach, the Soviet Union will persist for up to forty years. After forty years, the problems will explode in a concentrated manner and then collapse!

After reaching this terrible conclusion, Bukharin naturally couldn't sleep at night. At first, he suspected that his calculations were wrong, but as he checked them over and over again, he found that his conclusion was tenable. If the Soviet Union continued to operate in this mode, it would be a dead end.

Then Bukharin became depressed. As a veteran of the October Revolution, although he had huge controversy with Lenin on the later issue of Brest and had huge conflicts with his old friend Trotsky in later economic construction, this could not change Bukharin's love for the country he participated in. From the beginning of discovering the problem, he began to find ways to solve this problem. For this reason, he did not know how many brain cells he sacrificed, so he bald early.

Through a lot of research, Bukharin believes that the only way to fully concentrate the planned economy is to introduce a regulation mechanism, and cannot rely entirely on planning, because planning is always less perfect and cannot effectively deal with accidents. In the primary stage of socialism, market regulation is still of great significance.

Of course, when Bukharin came to this conclusion, he was also shocked. Because this is a typical capitalist remark, socialism is an ideal society of great harmony. Isn’t capitalism going against the original intention of the revolution?

Bukharin struggled with this issue for several years until he returned to the central government and was re-elected as a member of the Political Bureau. He was silently thinking about this issue in his heart. However, he did not dare to reveal it because it was still a little shocking. Bukharin was silently waiting for the opportunity, hoping that one day his research conclusions would be made public.

Bukharin did not expect that this day would come so early and so suddenly. After the Poznan incident, Li Xiaofeng flatly announced the implementation of a new economic policy in Poland. In fact, in Bukharin's view, this so-called new economic policy is the regulatory role of restoring the market, which means that he is completely consistent with someone on this point.

Please note that when you discovered this joint, Bukharin was surprised and excited, because this means that not only he discovered the economic problems in the Soviet Union, but also one person felt that the regulation of restoring the market was the solution to the problem. This made Bukharin feel that he was no longer alone and explored on the dark road. You can imagine how happy he was!

Soon, Bukharin exchanged with Li Xiaofeng with his relevant research report. The two people who had a very ordinary relationship before hit it off this time, and they felt like they had only met each other today.

Well, today Sverdlov put a capitalist-roading hat on Li Xiaofeng. For Bukharin, he felt that if it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's bold attempt, this hat would probably be worn on his head first, which made him even more admire the decisive ability of a certain immortal. Naturally, he immediately stood up and refuted Sverdlov:

"Popularity-traveling? What is capitalism-traveling? Comrade Lenin also implemented the new economic policy back then. Did Comrade Lenin also capitalism-traveling?" Bukharin said with excitement in his tone. He waved his arms and said loudly: "There has never been only one socialist road. Continuous experimentation and exploration are the responsibilities of us Communist Party members... The highly concentrated planned economy can help us through the difficult period after the October Revolution, but after this period and after completing the initial accumulation, can we continue to follow the old path in a constant state? Comrades, we must see that our enemy is still growing rapidly. If we cannot catch up at a faster speed, we will be thrown away by the enemy further and further. When the gap in the power gap between the enemy and us reaches a certain level, it will be the enemy that will set off another wave of opposition to us. How terrible is we going to pay to maintain our independence and the flame of socialism?"

As he said that, he waved his hand and said passionately: "So before the crisis comes, we must start exploring and find a way to develop faster. And I think the exploration Comrade Andre in Poland is a very useful attempt. You must try it or not to know if the Polish experiment can be successful, wouldn't it be good to draw on advanced experience? I highly agree with Comrade Andre's exploration and experiment, so if you insist on giving this exploration and experiment a capitalist and roadblock, then I'm the only one!"

Bukharin almost squirted Sverdlov's face, and said in his heart that Xiao Si was a little confused at this time, because his spearhead was aimed at a certain immortal. Logically speaking, it was someone who started to fight back first. But why did Bukharin jump out like he was stepped on his tail? Seeing his dancing look, he seemed to be even more angry than the person involved, and he was rushing up to fight to the death. What's the point of making a fuss?

Sverdlov couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't figure it out even more. After Bukharin's speech, hard-core immortals such as Luzutak and Gubishev also jumped out to waving flags and shouting, and launched a full-scale counterattack on him. And with their leadership, political rookies such as Fog Wind Jevich also jumped out to support.

In an instant, Sverdlov became the target of public criticism. Instead of saying that passive and embarrassing, Sverdlov couldn't figure out what was going on? Why did he not please him, but someone who destroyed the system won a lot of support? Damn, you are making a mistake, are you taking the wrong medicine? (To be continued.)
