Vol 3 Chapter 224: shock the world

During this inspection of Southwest China, Zhang Shusheng made his first stop in Yibin, inspected some aerospace industries and high-tech electronics industries. Accompanied by Deputy Minister of Economics Chen Yunsheng, he focused on visiting the production of military and scientific research monitors, military radio stations, and military universities. Rainbow TV Group, which is mainly a medium-sized communication equipment, civilian television and radio, also inspected the Southwest Transistor Research Institute jointly established by Southwest Electronics Research Institute and Southwest University of Electronic Science and Technology.
Immediately afterwards, the plane departed for Xichang, where Zhang Shusheng inspected one of the two most important places in this southwest trip, China ’s No. 5 SS base, the China Frontier Nuclear Physics Research Center and the China Nuclear Weapons Research Center. The secret code in the military system is 'Sun Engineering'.
This research center consists of more than 700 scientific researchers. Except for a handful of Chinese foreign experts who have fully integrated into Chinese society like Einstein, most of them are patriotic overseas Chinese scientists and young scientists trained by the Southwest in recent years. composition. Xiong Heming is the main person in charge. As for Einstein, a theoretical scientist, one cannot say that he will produce nuclear weapons. He can only say that he is one of the important scientists at the Nuclear Weapons Center. At the end of the inspection, Zhang Shusheng told Xiong Heming, don't be afraid of lack of money and people. In the future, researchers will increase at a rate of 100 or more each year, and more funds and more advanced equipment will also arrive in succession.
This means that China's nuclear weapons program has officially entered a sprint period after a decade-long foundation laying.
Subsequently, Zhang Shusheng set off for another SS-class base in Xichang, the China Aviation and Space Center under construction. Here, Zhang Shusheng saw the aerospace launch site that had begun to take shape. Of course, before the rocket is officially produced for testing, exercises will be used to train simulated launches here.
Zhang Shusheng went to Kunming last time. In the mountainous area far from Kunming, he once again walked into that SS-level base that is also related to the core competitiveness of China's national defense in the future: China Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Murong Bo, was an excited guide for the chairman and visited two main parts of the propulsion laboratory: the conventional jet laboratory and the rocket research center.
After solving 80 parts of more than 600 problems that restrict the sustainable working time and safety and reliability of the engine, the jet engine finally entered the final sprint period, and more than 300 researchers in the conventional jet laboratory gave up. For all the holidays, ten prototypes were manufactured under laboratory conditions, thus providing a platform for more and more extensive experiments. At the same time, Feng Ruhai, the director of the China Aircraft Design Institute, also personally led the task of researching and improving the propeller fighters to other scientists, and personally led the team. He began to research the jet type from scratch six years ago. aircraft.
During this period, Feng Ruhai often took the jet design team to eat and live in the conventional jet test room at this base. The most important and most important part of the jet is the power, how to understand the characteristics of the engine, so as to be issued by the Supreme Scientific Committee. Early design documents, designing jets that meet existing conditions, will be a difficult process. It is expected that two real prototypes will not be available until the end of 1937. At that time, a jet aircraft equipped with a more mature jet engine will test fly, and Zhang Shusheng will be invited to visit the ceremony in person.
As for the Rocket Research Center, the progress of this center is slower. When Zhang Shusheng went to visit, the rocket engine project had just solved a small part of the problem, and it was still stuck on the issue of the combustion chamber and nozzle manufacturing materials. The corresponding research unit also worked overtime day and night. However, rockets, like nuclear weapons and jet fighters, are very large-scale systems. They need not just a research center, but the entire scientific and technological strength. Throughout the southwest, more than 300 research institutes have cooperated with these major research centers, and more than 300 have been established since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Covers all scientific research projects from downstream parts to materials.
Many Chinese scientists, even foreign scientists, do not even know what they are studying, they can only guess what fields they might use. Because, each large project has been completely decomposed. In addition to the most confidential each SS base has the final system design right and the right to know, many people will not even until this weapon is successfully developed for actual combat. I found that a part and a material that I produced that year were originally used in atomic bombs or rockets.
In the rocket research center of more than 400 people, Zhang Shusheng also met another Qian surnamed Qian Wensen, the father of Chinese rockets in later history. Although he is only 25 years old now, he has issued Qian Sanqiang of the Engineering Research Center of Nuclear Weapons is even more dazzling. He has led an independent research group responsible for a very critical rocket power project. The moment he entered the school, he received special care from Zhang Shusheng, asking the school to take the best care of his study and life, and to allow him to have a more free learning space than other students.
In general, in these high-tech fields, foreign scientists, Chinese scientists, and domestically-grown scientists are respectively 1: 3: 6. Foreign countries are scientists who do not pay attention to it for various reasons, but they do have very high scientific research capabilities, and there are also a few Chinese scientists. Among the Chinese who are scattered around the world, there are countless geniuses. Domestically, it is mainly a small number of international students trained in the late Qing and Republican periods, and most of the scientists trained in the Southwest.
"Be careful, it's tiring to go to the southwest this time."
After a five-day inspection of major science and technology projects in the Southwest, Zhang Shusheng finally returned to Hanjing. The day coincided with the weekend's rest day. He also had a rare and warm rest day with He Ning and Lu Yunyan who was not on duty.
The two were very clear. Zhang Shusheng's biggest hobby was fishing in a large natural lake in Nanyuan, the official residence of the head of the Han Mountain. He was accompanied by two wives and placed his favorite Southwest green tea. The ordinary blue and white porcelain cups are packed, but don't have a return to the simple taste, while enjoying the citron, while enjoying the leisurely leisure of fishing.
"Where I'm tired, I'm tired of those scientific researchers. This time I went to the southwest for inspections, and I feel more touching than before." Zhang Shusheng was telling the truth, I went to these scientific research bases to inspect and guide some key sciences. During the link, as the project has not yet made great progress, everything is still being explored and imitated, so it does not seem too busy, but now, when the project begins to make major progress, the staff are working harder and finding their own Make a point.
Lu Yunyan nodded. As a confidential secretary-general of the Office of the Head of State, of course, she knew these things. "Although our scientific researchers have always been treated very well, the Ministry of Science and Technology still issued a series of regulations last month, which increased the number of scientific researchers. The treatment, education, and living issues of family members of some special scientific research units have been included in the priority work. "
Every time the family of three got together, they started to have a leisurely break, but after a long time, they still had to return to New China.
He Ning held Zhang Shusheng's left arm and chose a comfortable angle on him, saying, "Be careful, do you remember the German government delegation to China? They came to the Ministry of Education the day before yesterday and invited us to send students The delegation went to Germany to visit this year's Olympic Games. All the expenses were provided by them. After studying in the ministry, it was finally decided to send 40 high school students to Berlin. "
"They are showing us good things. Things in Germany are very complicated. We don't need to worry. Some normal diplomatic etiquette deals with what you should do. If it involves core interests, let people talk slowly with them. "Zhang Shusheng knows very well that the 1936 Olympic Games will be the last time for the Germans to whitewash peace, and through this Olympics, the Nazis will also gain unprecedented prestige in Germany, thereby laying the final foundation for a more comprehensive Nazi rule in the future. The basics.
In fact, the Nazi Party was already in full force at this time. For example, various armament plans began to accelerate, military enterprises were rolled out, the National Defense Army was expanded, and the SS was expanded. Not to mention the crazy expansion of the German Defense Forces, that is, the SS, will expand to dozens of divisions in a few years, which is very scary.
Zhang Shusheng knew about this visiting delegation. It should be Hitler's diplomatic representative sent to the front station. The real thing hasn't come to the table yet.
Although China was far away from Europe and although communications were relatively backward in this era, China ’s huge combat effectiveness during the War of Resistance against Japan still caused the German short man ’s high attention.
Nothing else. Because Hitler was once the German Army. When he was an infantry then, he was fortunate enough to see the tank that made the enemy scare the enemy, but when he later learned that the technology of this tank actually came from China, he vowed to make more advanced tanks. Tank, more than the Chinese.
However, the actual situation is that according to German intelligence, the Chinese main battle tank still surpassed the German main battle tank for at least 4 years, and no matter how hard the tank experts work, this technical span is always difficult to obtain a breakthrough. Zoom out.
At the same time, the German intelligence service also found that the Chinese surpassed Germany in aircraft, aircraft carriers, individual weapons, and even the most proud artillery of the Germans.
While the Germans were still accumulating battleships and embankment the British invincible fleet, the British fleet was bombed and destroyed by the Chinese in Asia without pressure. The German dignitaries, including Hitler, realized that It turned out that the war should be fought like this, rather than being dragged away by the British.
In the 1930s, the Germans cancelled a total of seven battleships, and launched eight aircraft carriers, one more than the British six. It can be said that in terms of aircraft carriers, the Germans finally completely escaped the barriers of building battleships, thus easily opening the era of aircraft carrier competition between Britain and Germany.
At the same time, Germany has not given up to obtain advanced weapons from China since the Southwest, but Zhang Shusheng instructed the negotiating group to tighten its lips every time, and it was difficult to relax. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Germans also repeatedly pressured to buy Chinese military technology, but Zhang Shusheng simply said "not for sale". In the past three years, Germany has received very little military from China.
In the words of Zhang Shusheng, "To make the imperialists fight harder, of course, the weapons must be more advanced, but now is not the time. The same technology, given to them three years in advance, is too different from a few years to give them. Give them a few years later, they can only be used honestly, but giving them in advance can help them produce a small range of technology, which will lead to even more terrible progress. We must provide when they are 'most needed'. Give them those 'military technologies that can be suppressed by our advanced weapons and equipment.'
The German delegation to China conducted an in-depth inspection of China. At the same time, it invited Chinese delegations from several industries to pay tribute to and visit the Olympic Games. Finally, on February 4, 1936, the German Ambassador to China Rimmer secretly visited the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs I hope that the Chinese government can use the opportunity of the Olympics to send a secret government delegation, including military and economic fields, to Germany.
Rimel suggested that if China-Germany relations can achieve further 'significant developments', Germany can stand on the Chinese government on China-Russia, China-Japan, China-Britain and France issues, and even all Asian issues in the foreseeable future. This side.
Under the instruction of Zhang Shusheng, Foreign Minister Li Zongren was very happy to give a positive answer to the Germans. Although he did not promise more about the "intention to further strengthen Sino-German relations", he was happy to send a secret government delegation to Germany. To consolidate current Sino-German relations.
In fact, for Hitler, a big ambition, for the Third Reich, for the Nazi Party, and for the whole of Germany, Zhang Shusheng didn't have any complicated feelings. He never thought of having to associate with them or suppress them. As the chairman of the Huaxia Supreme Power Committee, it can be said that Zhang Shusheng's rights at this time were even greater than Hitler's a few years later.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng's starting point for thinking about the problem is long past the time of courting, knotting, or blocking the Germans. In the economic crisis, he also arranged a considerable number of people to attack the German economy. The gold and German mark earned from Germany were no less than in London. And some of these capitals will be secretly entered into countries around the world as reinvested capital, some will be returned to China as special financial appropriations, and some will be used as China's reserves to make advance reserves for a very large-scale world war a few years later. In short, what Zhang Shusheng did was for the entire nation. He would never make his policy toward Germany any extreme that he should not have for Hitler or the Third Reich.
Heads of Office Center.
"Chairman, do you want to set the tone for this trip to Germany?" Foreign Minister Li Zongren and Minister of Defense Cai Yan gathered at the office of the head of state to get a conclusion from the highest level.
"Mr. Li is right. The Germans are looking at our weapons. It is likely that they will propose a package of military and economic cooperation this time when they go to Germany." Cai Yan also said with some concern that as Minister of Defense, he had already After undergoing a transformation from a leading general to a strategic thinker, of course, knowing that helping the Germans is not a simple yes or no question.
Zhang Shusheng smiled, walked to the huge world map behind him, pointed at the location of Germany, and tapped: "The country of projectiles, but intends to pry the whole of Europe. According to the current situation, they are vulnerable .Even if the situation of the Germans is estimated higher, there will be many problems in the future. This is the conclusion of the Supreme War Department and the General Staff. Therefore, it is appropriate to give the Germans an illusion that the Chinese will stand firm on them, at the same time Some proper cooperation is still necessary. For example ...
For example, we can provide some military technologies, such as the first-generation semi-armor technology of tanks, and some non-critical construction technologies of aircraft carriers, of course, provided they pay enough to buy them.
As for economic cooperation, of course, German businessmen are welcome to invest and establish more Sino-German joint venture trading companies. The others will be temporarily put aside. "
The two types of technology that Zhang Shusheng gave to the Germans, the tank's first generation of semi-armored technology, just allowed their tanks to be able to surpass the French tanks with the same thickness. Because at this time the French Renault tank was actually much stronger than the German tank. You know, in history, although the French tanks before the start of World War II were relatively advanced, they were never as strong as they are now, and the Germans who were proud of the tanks were under pressure.
In fact, the French were inspired by the tanks of World War I. The Germans inexplicably advanced the tanks, which caused the British and French troops to suffer several losses. The French Army, which has always firmly believed in the world, must not miss the opportunity to develop tanks. First, it dispatched agents to steal the German tank technology, and then its own tank scientists made unprecedented efforts. Finally, the new-generation Renault tank put into production in 1935, In terms of various data, it was a victory over a certain type III tank that the Germans were proud of.
In fact, he also knew that the Germans needed a Chinese attitude more. After all, Hitler also understood that a rising China is behind the red Soviet Russia. This is a very satisfying thing in itself.
As for wanting China to sell the most advanced military technology to Germany, it is better to send agents to steal it.
Of course, over the years he has also found that German agents have lost a lot, but the technology has not been as useful as stealing it back.
In fact, some new weapons appearing on the Chinese battlefield have already caused the thinking of German weapon scientists, and only need to give them time to develop similar weapons.
In addition to Germany, Britain, and Japan, more people are reluctant to admit that the Chinese have advanced weapons. They always believe that a new regime that has just completed the founding of a nation cannot have world-leading weapons and equipment.
In fact, in the weapons equipped by the Chinese army, except for rockets, cloud explosions and automatic rifles, there are not many dazzling things. The information passed backward, and only the particularly dazzling weapon could attract their attention. As for advanced tanks and aircraft, the more mysterious radars, advanced submarines, and so on, are unknown.
Only because of the direct outbreak of war, the British, Japanese, and Germans who have been following China for a long time, have some understanding of China's advanced weapons. There is only a certain degree of underestimation. The Germans thought that the weapons might have been stolen by Chinese from British or French secret military research laboratories, while the British and Japanese thought they might have been sold by the Germans or Americans to the Chinese. The premise is that they also acknowledge that the Chinese can indeed produce some advanced weapons by relying on their rapidly rising huge economy.
However, the British, German, French, and Russian countries still focused their intelligence work on each other, not the far east. It is the Japanese who know China best.
In April 1936, a huge Chinese Olympic delegation set off for the Navy's Qinghai Lake 10,000-ton ocean-going transport ship, which had just been launched for half a year, and set off for Germany. The ship included a navy visiting team on the bright side, and one that would allow the world A huge Olympic delegation made up of 399 Olympic team members, and a secret visiting group.
After a voyage of more than 40 months, the Chinese Navy's Qinghai Lake completed the transoceanic voyage of the New Chinese Navy for the first time. On the eve of the Olympics, the Qinghai Lake arrived in Hamburg, Germany with an unprecedentedly large Olympic delegation.
"Long live, long live ..."
Port, a large number of Chinese students and overseas Chinese in Germany, staff of the New Chinese Government in Germany, Chinese business people in Germany, a huge welcome team of nearly 10,000 people, brought to the scene the Germans and Americans who just arrived Great excitement.
"John, I bet this time we will be the country with the most athletes in the United States." Calvin, head of the US Olympic delegation, stood on this luxurious merchant ship, watching the American athletes packing their luggage and leaving the cabin. , Could not help feeling: "Thank the rich and strong America, thank God Almighty."
With 330 athletes, Calvin is confident enough that the United States will surpass all countries and even the host German Olympic team, winning the two most eye-catching things, number one and medal number one.
The luxurious merchant ships and thousands of tons of ocean-going merchant ships made him feel very comfortable all the way. Being able to drink champagne and red wine, praising the generous United States and arriving in Germany, was a thing that made him very happy. Look at the run-down old ships that the small countries are riding or renting. His pride is extremely strong.
"Oh shit, are these Chinese crazy?"
John didn't reply, because at this moment he was looking at the crazy Chinese people on the shore. People were holding red flags, which John could recognize. Those red flags, like the flags flying on ships in major US ports, were China's extremely special national flag: the golden dragon flag.
He understands Chinese and knows that these people are shouting "Long live, warm welcome"
"Haha ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They are not welcoming the strong America. The United States has always been a weak and powerful western friend. Oh, they deserve it." Calvin teased with his American humor.
"Leader, they are welcoming the big ship in the back, that is, the ocean-going warship Qinghai Lake, which is used by the Chinese Olympic delegation."
From the telescope, John saw the warship that was already entering the port, and asked the ship liaison officer next to him, and his color changed suddenly.
"Head Calvin, unfortunate news, there are more Chinese Olympic delegations than we have, a total of 399." John's face is ugly, the Chinese are sitting on a nearly brand new warship, although the name is a military visit, But the reality is that the Chinese Olympic delegation has been sent from their home country to Germany in Europe.
"Oh damn, they must have emptied their homes and pulled out their latest warships. Damn, our Great White Fleet also visited the world damn, many people have no effect, my children will defeat them, The medals must belong to the United States "
John whispered in his own unique accent on the west coast of the United States, "I have a hunch, the Chinese will definitely shock the world this time."
