Chapter 61 Chapter 60: A campaign to catch "little reptiles" and "chameleons" was launched

Chen Boda cursed "Wang, Guan, and Qi" as "some ugly chameleons, some color-changing reptiles".This kind of "hat" that has no strict and precise political meaning like "ghosts and snakes" has caused a new confusion. ※ ※ ※ The "Yu" in the "Yang, Yu, and Fu incident" is Yu Lijin, a political commissar of the Air Force.When Mao Zedong inspected the north and south of the country, the entourage he brought with him was more than Lijin.Mao Zedong's trust in Jin Lijin made Wu Faxian, Lin Biao's best friend and air force commander, extremely unhappy.

A strange logic pulls "Yang, Yu, and Fu" together: Fu Chongbi's "armed attack" on Diaoyutai was said to be Yang Chengwu's order, and Yu Lijin was said to be Yang Chengwu's "accomplice" "collusion" to seize the power of the Air Force... At 9:00 pm on March 24, 1968, a meeting of ten thousand people was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.The attendees were uniformed in green, and they were cadres above regiments and regiments from various headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, the National Defense Industry Office, various arms and services, military academies stationed in Beijing, and units affiliated to the Beijing Military Region.

After waiting almost two hours, Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Chen Boda, Kang Sheng, Jiang Qing, Yao Wenyuan, Xie Fuzhi, Huang Yongsheng, Ye Qun, and Wang Dongxing appeared on the rostrum. The meeting was tense.Lin Biao played the leading role. Lin Biao made a long speech. Today, this meeting is to announce to comrades a recent important decision of the Central Committee.Recently new problems have arisen in the life of our Party, new contradictions have arisen, and new situations in the class struggle have arisen.Although this problem is not as big as Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Tao Zhu, Peng, Lu, Luo, and Yang, it is bigger than other problems in general. The chairman said that it is neither a big nor a small problem.That is, it happened recently that Yang Chengwu colluded with Yu Lijin in the Air Force to usurp the leadership of the Air Force and to overthrow Wu Faxian; and those on par with them.The central government held meetings with the chairman recently. Four meetings were held. The chairman personally presided over the meeting. The meeting decided to remove Yang Chengwu from the position of acting chief; Yu Lijin should be arrested and brought to justice!Revocation of Beijing's Garrison Commander Fu Chongbi...

Lin Biao counted the crimes of Yang, Yu, and Fu, and mentioned the "big and special tree" and the "impact" on Diaoyutai... The most surprising thing is that Lin Biao compared Yang, Yu, and Fu with Wang, Guan, and Wang. Qi connected: "When Comrade Jiang Qing was ill, he (quote's note: referring to Yang Chengwu) and Qi Benyu and other people made black materials about Comrade Jiang Qing's past! As early as last spring, they made black materials about Comrade Jiang Qing, and actually set up this special project. To persecute Comrade Jiang Qing... He is the real backer of Wang, Guan and Qi! "

It was like magic. In this way, not only "Yang, Yu, and Fu" became a group, but also "Wang, Guan, and Qi"! The meeting lasted until 1:00 a.m., when Mao Zedong appeared on the rostrum, the audience suddenly burst into cheers.Mao Zedong didn't say a word, just waved to everyone.His appearance was expressed in a special language—Lin Biao's speech about defeating Yang, Yu, and Fu was given his permission. Chen Boda is glad that he avoided this political disaster; last time, he signed the editorial "Putting out a small group of people in the army", and Wang Li and Guan Feng "scapegoated" for him; He signed it, and the account was all on Yang Chengwu's head!

"A good show in succession". At 2:30 p.m. on March 27, 100,000 soldiers and civilians from the capital gathered at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing to hold a pledge meeting to "thoroughly crush the new counterattack of the 'February Countercurrent' and win the overall victory of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution."Oh, what an "ingenuity" to describe "Yang, Yu, and Fu" this time as "the new counterattack of 'February Countercurrent'"! Appearing on the podium were Zhou Enlai, Chen Boda, Kang Sheng, Jiang Qing, Yao Wenyuan, Xie Fuzhi, Huang Yongsheng, Ye Qun, Wang Dongxing, and Wen Yucheng.

The meeting was chaired by Chen Boda. The author found the speech records at that time from the archives. Jiang Qing, Kang Sheng, and Chen Boda talked about Wang, Guan, and Qi in public for the first time in this speech, and traced back to "February Adverse Current" and later linked to " Yang, Yu, Fu" event. Jiang Qing mentioned the "big tree, special tree" and "Diaoyutai Incident", and kept putting gold on his face, as if "foresighted." After Jiang Qing had a noisy talk, Kang Sheng came on stage. Kang Sheng said that Yang Chengwu "appeared to be against Wang Guanqi, but in fact he was Wang Guanqi's backer".Kang Sheng said that the "February Against the Current" was a new counterattack against "the leader of the Cultural Revolution Team, Comrade Chen Boda, and the deputy team leader, Comrade Jiang Qing."

Really eloquent, Kang Sheng made a wonderful speech.At this time, Jiang Qing quickly said: "Comrade Chen Boda is now invited to speak." The speeches of "theoreticians" are full of "theoretical" colors.He summed up the "Cultural Revolution" as "five major rounds" at once. Chen Boda cursed "Wang, Guan, and Qi" as "some ugly chameleons, some color-changing reptiles". As Chen Boda's speech was published and distributed across the country, "little reptiles" and "chameleons" were caught all over the place.This kind of "hat" that has no strict and precise political meaning like "ghosts and snakes" has caused a new confusion.
