Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Prime Minister: "Let the Prisoner of War Management Office communicate with these pilots and try to find a breakthrough from them."

Tang Hua: "Dropping bacterial weapons must be a top-secret operation in the U.S. military. These pilots may not know that they are dropping bacterial weapons. Before taking off, they only know that they are dropping special bombs and what are the special features of these bombs. Comrades from the Prisoner of War Management Office may have to pay attention when asking inductive questions. The key point is to let the pilot tell the details of his own experience..."

Liu Zhijian: "I understand what you mean. Do the pilot's ideological work first, and then let them talk about it. There is no need to read the draft we made."

Tang Hua nodded in agreement.

Now it can only do so much.

Unless the following lucky circumstances occur:

A B-29 Trek with a bacterial bomb rushed into the combat radius of the S25 anti-aircraft missile, and was shot down with bombs;

The A-26 altimeter that dropped the bacterial bomb at medium and high altitudes was broken, and entered the combat altitude of the Hongqi-1 air defense missile, and was overshadowed by the missile;

The U.S. military has a Soviet insider at the airport or secret base in Okinawa, shaking out all their germ bomb warehouses.

Without the above-mentioned "black swan incident" for the U.S. military and decades of bacterial warfare, I am afraid that this era will continue.

……

The days of April passed day by day. On April 4, a week before Tang Hua was going to leave for the Soviet Union, he saw the list of achievements of the Volunteer Army in tunnel construction in the past 15 months.

The first example is that the 68th Army was bombarded by 10 artillery battalions of the U.S. Army for one day during the mountain offensive and defensive battle with the United Nations Army on the Eastern Front, and 21000 rounds were dropped. A company in the 68th Army's garrison position had only 4 casualties.When the South Korean Army climbed the mountain with their buttocks pouted, all the garrison troops of the 68th Army came out of the tunnel and opened fire violently. The South Korean Army found that the defensive capabilities of the Volunteers were not affected at all, so they had to leave a dozen corpses and retreat.

From July 1951 to April 7, the Volunteers built a total of 1952 kilometers of tunnels on the front line, including 4 kilometers of large-scale tunnels constructed by shield tunneling.Although the length of the tunnels constructed by shield tunnels only accounts for 225% of the total length of the tunnels, after the construction of these large tunnels is completed, behind the front-line garrison there is a huge underground garage, food and ammunition reserves, and a large hiding barracks for the reserve team.In addition, the Volunteer Army also built hundreds of thousands of trenches, covered trenches, artillery bunkers, bomb shelters, and bunkers.

Now, from the confluence of the Imjin River and the Han River in the west to the coast near Goseong in the east, the Volunteers and the Korean People’s Army have formed a permanent position defense system with tunnel fortifications as the backbone and various permanent field fortifications.

The Dongducheon area is the most concentrated area of ​​shield construction tunnels.Xiaoyao Mountain to the east of Dongducheon and Ganyue Mountain to the west were almost hollowed out, hiding a tank division and an artillery division inside.Now two 2-meter shield machines and one 4.2-meter shield machine have been transferred to the mountainous area east of Baochuan, and it is planned to dig another large tunnel consisting of shield tunnels in the mountainous area here.

North Korea's line of control between the two sides will probably become more and more stable...

Chapter 210, The Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Army wants to be replaced

"The Hongqi-61 anti-aircraft missile regiment of the 62st and 2nd anti-aircraft artillery divisions was established in March. After receiving the equipment, they entered the Baicheng training base. The current training in Baicheng is normal. The training is over in early May, and the exercise is accepted. In mid-May, they will enter North Korea to participate in the war."

Going to the Soviet Union at the end of April, I spent nearly two weeks on the train, but before that, Tang Hua had to ask about the Hongqi-4 air defense missile.

Seeing the telegram from the Artillery Command of the Volunteer Army, Tang Hua replied: "In addition to the improved range, the airspace control radius of the Hongqi-2 is 1 times that of the Hongqi-2.5. This advantage can be considered when the artillery division deploys missile units. Zhi Does the company have the idea of ​​suddenly deploying the HQ-2 missile system to obtain the greatest battlefield effect?"

"The anti-aircraft missile regiment of the anti-aircraft artillery division has been expanded to two, and the anti-aircraft artillery regiment has been reduced to one. The 2mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment has thrown out the anti-aircraft artillery division and become an independent anti-aircraft artillery regiment, but the number of 1mm anti-aircraft artillery in the division has doubled, so The number of anti-aircraft guns has not decreased. Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye have some ideas on how to use new equipment suddenly, but they are still discussing and perfecting it with the staff and Chief of Staff Su.”

In the past half a year, Factory 112B has solved the reliability and separation technology of the primary and secondary boosters, and Lu Xiaopeng has solved the aerodynamic parameters and control commands. After four rounds of test firing, it finally passed mass production.

Hongqi-1 is a typical short-range point-defense air defense missile with a maximum static range of 8.5 kilometers. Depending on the type of intercepted target, the effective range is between 5 and 8.5 kilometers.

Hongqi-2 has added a booster that is about the same length as the original bomb body, and the maximum static range has been increased to 22 kilometers.Due to the acceleration effect of the booster, the speed of the missile is also faster than that of the Hongqi-1, and the effective firing range is larger.

But the most critical stat is the shot height.Hongqi-1 is only 4500 meters, which allows the US military's jet fighters to fly safely at altitudes above 5500 meters, and the B-29 bomber can fly stably and drop bombs at 5500 to 8000 meters.Since the U.S. military improved the guided bombs, the B-29 always wanted to take advantage of the loopholes, find places that the volunteer electronic warfare unit jamming vehicles did not take care of, and throw one or two heavy bombs down to try their luck.It doesn't matter if it gets jammed, the B-29 is safe anyway.

红旗-2的最大射高一下子提高到了12300米，这就完全不给B-29活路了：B-29最大升限才9700米，如果挂着炸弹，飞行高度只有8000多米，只有轻载的侦察型才会在9000米+的高度飞行。即便现在雪藏在美国本土专用于核轰炸的B-36和B-47最大升限13000多米，只要带了炸弹红旗-2就肯定能给戳下来。F-80和F-84也没活路了，唯一有活路的是轻载F-86。

Tang Hua felt that there was no need to worry about tactics and battle deployment, so he replied directly:

"Then Mr. Peng and Mr. Ye will make arrangements. I wish you all success."

……

"Minister Tang, the first computer blueprint of the missile-borne computer team has been delivered to the factory for production. Will the missile-borne computer team design an improved model or a new missile-borne computer?"

At the Beijing Institute of Computer Science, Zhang Jue reported the work progress of the current several teams, and asked the missile computer team's next move.

"In the next month, the missile-borne computer team will mainly track the production situation of the factory, and solve any problems in time during mass production. There may even be one or two people stationed in the Beijing Electronics Factory, and the team members will be on duty," Tang Hua said. , "Because there is a major event for the Computer Institute and Communication Electronics: the relocation of the new office building. I hope that each project team of the two institutes will be free for a while before the relocation. I also just take advantage of the time of the move to go to the Soviet Union. .”

After two years of construction, the new office buildings of the Institute of Computer Science and the Institute of Communication and Electronics have finally stood up. They are still close to each other as neighbors. There are only two signs, the walls in the middle are connected, and the canteen is also shared.However, both research institutes have institutes within institutes, and there is a building in the ordinary office area of ​​the second-level security area that is a first-level security area.

The office buildings of the two institutes are in place in one step, and the dormitory buildings can be built as long as the current employees can live. After that, they can be built slowly, because outside the back wall of the compound of the two institutes is a wildly growing cornfield, which can continue to expand at any time enclosure.

Well, the famous Zhongguancun, North Fourth Ring West Road, is now a large cornfield.

Zhang Jue was also ecstatic when he heard the news of the move: "That's great, to be honest, a few of us often ride bikes to the construction site of our electronics institute on Sundays to see how far these buildings have been built. "

Tang Hua: "Speaking of which, I remembered that after the delivery of this building, there will be another renovation. Computers and electronic equipment cannot be handled by outside construction workers. Only the people from the two of you can do it yourself. The network plan was completed last week. Give it to the Communications and Electronics Institute, and it is estimated that the Electronics Institute will come to your place to pull strong men soon."

"Computer network? Are all computers connected this time?"

Tang Hua: "It is the entire office area and a part of the living area of ​​the two institutes. I told you before that what we are doing is a new technology that will not be popularized in other places in the next 5, 10 or even longer. Projects are the future, and so is our institute."

……

"Truman once again issued a statement, declaring that he will abide by the bill he himself signed and passed, and will not participate in the 1952 presidential election. The US presidential election is in November this year, but now the campaigns of both parties have begun."

The work meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, today's meeting mainly discusses the US presidential election. The vice minister who presided over the meeting, Wang Jiaxiang, first said why we should pay attention to the US presidential election.

"Truman served as President of the United States for nearly 8 years. During his tenure, it can be said that he actively launched the siege and military offensive against the Soviet Union and us. In Europe, he responded to Churchill's Iron Curtain speech and established NATO. In the East, he also implemented a similar policy, but he suffered failures in both China and North Korea. Especially since the Korean War has been fought, it has dealt a great blow to Truman’s reputation and even the reputation of democracy. Now we are discussing, after he steps down, who are the possible successors, what changes will happen to the US's policies towards Europe and Asia, especially the North Korean battlefield that the US is now deeply involved in, and how they plan to deal with it in the future."

Truman signed and passed a bill very early, which limited the term limit of the president from the legal provisions, and increased it.In the past, it was customary that the president could serve a maximum of 8 consecutive terms, but if the previous president died and the vice president who succeeded the president participated in the election in the next general election, then the half term of the president he succeeded would not count as a full term. In this way, he can be president for a maximum of 11.5 years.

Truman's bill makes it clear that if the vice president succeeds after the death of the original president, his half term will also be counted. If he succeeds and runs for the next president successfully, then he cannot run for re-election to the next president .

This bill first targets Truman himself... because he succeeded Roosevelt after his death in 1945.

Wang Ruofei: "Judging from the current public opinion in the United States, because Truman has not done very well in the past four years, the Democratic Party also lacks some confidence in the election campaign. In addition, Roosevelt was president for more than 4 years before, and Truman became president again. In the past eight years, the Democratic Party has been in the presidency for 12 years, and according to the rules of the American ruling class taking turns, it should be the Republican Party's turn to sit in this term."

Wang Jiaxiang: "The candidate of the Democratic Party this time is Stevenson. This person is characterized by a very reactionary ideology, which may be even more reactionary than Truman. He just said last month that the biggest problem on earth in 1952 was the Communist Party. -ism, the United States needs to guard against communism-ism. His rigid attitude caters to those who hold the same position, but to those who hold the opposite position, he will hate him very much. Stevenson's Campaign strategy, I feel like he's taking a sideways approach."

The Prime Minister was also at the meeting, and he first listened to the discussions of other comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Hearing this, the Prime Minister took the words:

"The two parties in the United States take turns taking turns, essentially changing the soup without changing the medicine. We don't need to worry about such trivial matters as their campaign slogans and voter strategies. Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the foreign policies shown by the candidates of the two parties. To lay a foundation for our future work.”

Wu Xiuquan: "Foreign policy, especially for the Korean peninsula, Stevenson has indirectly expressed his attitude. He believes that the United States will continue to maintain the current military posture in North Korea. If Eisenhower is elected, he may hope to be in the country as soon as possible. Armistice on the Korean peninsula.”

Prime Minister: "Will the impact of the US election on the Korean peninsula only appear after January 1953?"

Wu Xiuquan:?

Prime Minister: "Because Tang Hua and Commander Xiao of the Navy have already set off for the Soviet Union to negotiate, so he did not come to today's meeting. But I asked him to write a report, which is also about the impact of the US presidential election on our military. I Read it first."

The Prime Minister opened the two pages of paper in his hand.

"In the 1952 U.S. general election, the Republican side was basically sure to choose Eisenhower as the candidate for the election. Eisenhower had never held any kind of elected office before running for the election. This is a very special aspect of this presidential election. Another special The place is that Eisenhower is still the five-star general of the United States and the commander-in-chief of NATO so far. According to the political rules of the United States, soldiers cannot serve as president. Eisenhower has expressed his intention to participate in the presidential election, so he will be in May 1952. In June, which is the busiest first critical period of the general election, he resigned from the military and his NATO commander-in-chief, and joined the Republican Party at the same time, and began to engage in election activities.”

"If Eisenhower stepped down from the position of Commander-in-Chief of NATO or Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces in Europe, the immediate question would be who would succeed him."

"Because the commander-in-chief of NATO is extremely high-level, only one of the four-star generals currently serving in the US military can be selected. As far as the current generals of the US military are concerned, there are mainly the following four candidates: John Hull, Alfred G. Lancer, Lawton Collins, Ridgway."

"John Hull was Deputy Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Lawton Collins was Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, and Alfred Grunther was Chief of Staff of NATO. Alfred Grunther was a candidate for Chief of Staff and not As the candidate for the commander-in-chief, his advantage as the commander-in-chief of NATO may be that he is more familiar with the operation of NATO organizations, but after he is transferred to be the commander-in-chief, the chief of staff of NATO will undergo another personnel change. Lawton Collins is still working on the job at hand. No end, now the U.S. military is brewing military reforms to adapt the military, especially the ground forces, to operations in a nuclear warfare environment. This military reform may last for three to four years. John Hull is Collins’ deputy, and on the other hand , John Hull has not yet reached the point of promotion, so it is too soon for him to become the commander-in-chief of NATO, equal to Collins."
