The changes caused by the butterfly effect are not just in capitalist countries.

The fate of the entire world has changed because of this small bump. The ship of fate has deviated from its original track. No matter how fast the ship travels in the future, it will be further and further away from the original history.

Dubcek was thinking about ways to deal with the Soviet Union.

He was the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the initiator of the "Prague Spring".

Compared with the "Arab Spring" and "Wall Street Spring" that will be hyped in the future, Prague in 1968, or the entire Czechoslovakia, was full of vitality and passion, and the people were eager to move towards it.

Working hard for a better future.

But at this time, the Soviet Union "invited" Eastern European countries to establish a "Great Soviet Union Network" to ensure the harmony and stability of the socialist camp.

But Dubcek knew that this was a means by the Soviet Union against them.

Once the "Eastern European Route" as the Soviet Union calls it is completed, it will be difficult for Dubcek to deal with it - the Soviet Union wants to strengthen their ideological control, and Dubcek wants to get rid of the restrictions of the Soviet Union.

With the adoption of the "Program of Action" and the reform movement reaching a climax, Czechoslovakia's domestic criticism of the communist system and the alliance with the Soviet Union was also increasing. Brezhnev's leadership was very worried about this. In this situation

On May 4, under the circumstances, the Czechoslovak delegation (Dubcek, Chernik, Smrukovsky, etc.) who visited Moscow held talks with the Soviet leadership.

But the final result... was the worst.

After that, as the situation in the country changed, the Soviet Union no longer cared about Czechoslovakia. For a whole month, the "May Storm" affected the entire world. Therefore, the pressure on Czechoslovakia suddenly eased a lot, and therefore

, May is the month with the smoothest development for them.

But in June, the situation was different.

Although at the beginning, the intervention of British students led to a more serious situation than in May, but with the beginning of the national elections, the Soviet Union turned its attention to Eastern Europe again.

The "Great Soviet Union Network" is a very important link for Eastern European countries.

Dubcek also knows a lot about the Internet.

This is a means of transmitting information quickly. Compared with telephones and telegraphs, it is countless times more convenient. And for the Soviet Union, which implemented a planned economy, this kind of Internet is undoubtedly like a long-acting tonic.

, greatly enhanced the Soviet Union's grasp of the situation in the entire country.

In addition, there are military exercises currently underway.

Starting on June 18 and ending on June 30, joint military exercises among member states of the Warsaw Pact will be held in Czechoslovakia.

This has two purposes. The first is to contain the growth of reformist forces at the Extraordinary All-Party Conference in September. In other words, it is to limit the measures that Dubcek may take to expand his influence;

Make advance preparations for military intervention.

At first, Dubcek was just skeptical, but as this military exercise began, he already understood the Soviet Union's determination.

In fact, in early 1968, the Soviet Union had made full preparations for armed intervention in the Czech Republic. In June, it held joint military exercises in Czechoslovakia in the name of the Warsaw Pact. The Warsaw Pact countries led by the Soviet Union adopted criticism during the talks.

Through joint military exercises and other methods, they tried their best politically, psychologically and militarily to prevent the disintegration of Czechoslovakia's democratic system and the impact of the reform movement on the country. Although Dubcek was also aware of the Soviet intervention, he still took the risk

with planned reforms.

The "Two Thousand Word Manifesto" drafted by Vaclik of the Dubcek Group was in Dubcek's hands at this time.

But now, Dubcek is hesitant.

This declaration was originally to be published in newspapers on the 27th. For the Soviet Union, this document was undoubtedly an extremely strong signal.

A few months ago, Dubcek would have had this document published without hesitation, but now, he does not dare to do so.

After the construction of the Siberian Line, the Soviet Union's control over the Far East has been greatly enhanced, and as a result, exchanges between Vladivostok and Moscow have become more frequent.

Eastern European lines are a danger sign.

If the construction of the Eastern European line is completed, these countries in Eastern Europe will undoubtedly become puppets of the Soviet Union.

The Soviets even only need to sit in Moscow to understand what just happened anytime and anywhere, and handle the matter as quickly as possible.

There is no doubt that the Soviet Union will become even more powerful after the Eastern European route is established, but this strength is based on the sacrifices of the Eastern European countries.

Resist?

Dubcek once had this idea, but when he thought about the Hungarian incident, Dubcek recoiled a little.

The Hungarian October Incident was an armed riot triggered by peaceful mass demonstrations in Hungary from October 23 to November 4, 1956. The incident was quelled by two military interventions by the Soviet Union. The incident caused a total of about 2,700 Hungarian casualties.

People die.

After 1947, the main leader of the Hungarian Labor People's Party (the name after the merger of the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party, and renamed the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party after the incident), Rákosi Matthias, ignored the historical traditions and realities of his country and blindly copied

The Soviet model, and the promotion of personality worship and totalitarian politics. What Rakosi did not only harmed the interests of the country, but also hurt the feelings of the Hungarian people.

After Stalin's death in March 1953, driven by the new leader of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev, the Soviet Union made a series of adjustments to the domestic and foreign policies of Eastern European countries. In Hungary, Nagy, then Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

Imre implemented the "new policy" and started the "non-Soviet modelization" process earlier than other Eastern European countries.

However, due to the intervention of the Soviet Union, the "New Policy" was interrupted after 22 months of implementation. After the interruption of the "New Policy", Hungary returned to the old policy. The domestic political and economic situation deteriorated, and the people's living standards continued to decline.

But Rakosi and others not only blindly cover up the mistakes of the past, but even plan to use violent means to suppress the voices calling for reform inside and outside the party.

Hungary claimed that it was "taking the Hungarian path of building socialism that suits our national characteristics," but unfortunately, it failed in the end.

The Soviet Union invaded Hungary twice and completely calmed things down.

In fact, only China has achieved a true "characteristic socialist road", while other countries have completely failed in their original exploration of socialism due to the intervention of the Soviet Union...

Dubcek did not know how big an impact their reforms would have, and no one knew what the future would be like.

The Soviet Union is powerful. If the Eastern European countries unite, although they will become a very powerful force, in fact they will not be able to shake the Soviet Union at all...

And the more important point is that no one is of the same mind as Czechoslovakia.

The leaders of various countries are not optimistic about their reforms, and the failure of the reforms has been doomed from the beginning.

Dubcek did not know that his chief of staff had always been a Soviet spy. Now Dubcek has been thinking about how to take the path that the people of Czechoslovakia should take.

Dubcek was a staunch anti-war leader - at least in 1968 - who never intended to resort to military means (even though Czechoslovakia was known at the time as having the most disciplined army in the Warsaw Pact),

You reject the power of democracy and capitalism, never play cold war games, never turn to capitalists, never tear up agreements or agreements, or even break your promises.

Such a person, if placed in a country that has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, would definitely be a great leader, but unfortunately, there is no "if" in reality.

Thinking of this, Dubcek hurriedly went to inform Wacrik: "Wacrik, regarding the declaration we drafted...wait a moment, observe for a while before talking..."

"But...why?" Waclik was a little confused.

"The Soviets don't know what they want to do. Let's wait and see for a while and see the situation first."

If you want to fight against the Soviet Union, you must unite the majority of people. Although Dubcek is an idealist, he also knows that sometimes it is necessary to be more practical. This is already related to the fate and future of the entire country, so

Things must be done with caution and caution.

If it were a reform, Eastern European countries would definitely look on coldly at their own side, but if it were this "Eastern European route", it would be different.

The establishment of the Eastern European route, in a sense, can even be called a power grab for the entire Eastern European countries.

No one wants all the rights they have obtained to disappear. Even if the person who takes away their rights is the "big brother" they have always praised before, they cannot compromise.

We must use reason and emotion to resist the establishment of the Eastern European route.

If that doesn't work, there may be other ways to do it.

For example... the civilianization of the Internet?

If the Internet is used by civilians, its nature will be completely different from its original nature. Does this seem like a good idea?

But it's still impossible.

At least for now, it's impossible.

Dubcek sighed, facing the Soviet Union's upright conspiracy, he had nothing to do.

"Czechoslovakia must go its own way"

Only this is certain.

The vigorous Spring of Prague will not stop like this, a bright future is waiting for everyone ahead...
