"Mr. Chairman, please tell me, what do you think about today's world situation?"
Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall, the chairman met with Montgomery.
"The world situation is very good. It is nothing more than the fact that all Western countries are against the Soviet Union and China."
Two diametrically opposed statements made Montgomery's brain stop, "But this is very bad for China."
Chairman: "It's not bad, it's good. If they don't oppose us, we will become reactionaries like Eisenhower and Dulles, so we should be opposed. They do this intermittently. Last year they pretended Make peace with us, and oppose the Soviet Union this year. Next year, it will probably start to oppose China.”
Montgomery: "This is the difficulty. It is difficult for the two camps to get along in the Cold War. The United States and China have only resumed some trade. The military is still in a Cold War confrontation. If you predict, next year will be worse than this year. , the situation is even more difficult.”
Chairman: "The current situation is neither the imminent hot war that some people fear, nor the peaceful coexistence that Eisenhower claimed, but the third one: coexistence in the cold war."
Montgomery: "Eight months ago, the Chinese army defeated the Indian army at the southern foot of the Himalayas. Is this a strategic means for China to deal with the situation?"
Chairman: "No, we didn't want to fight this battle."
Montgomery: "But I have studied the whole process of the Himalayan war. Your army spent several months building a trap. When the Indian army attacked the hillside, they fell into the trap. In the end, the Indian army was in a dilemma in front of the fort. , and you launched a surprise counterattack that destroyed the entire Indian army in eastern India."
Chairman: "This is the battle plan formulated by Suyu. I did not interfere with his plan and command. This has been the case for more than 20 years. The process of battle must be entrusted to them, and even the commanders in front. They are better than me. From my point of view, strategically speaking, this war between China and India can actually be avoided.”
Montgomery: "That is to say, your general staff controlled everything during the Himalayan war?"
Chairman: "Yes. You can meet with our chief of staff in the past two days. You used to be the chief of general staff of the British army. When you two chiefs of general staff chat together, there must be many interesting topics."
"Then let's go back to the international situation, Chairman." Montgomery said, "Which situation do you think is more favorable in the Cold War, the United States or the Soviet Union?"
"The United States is very passive now. There are hundreds of nooses binding the United States. It has 250 military bases abroad."
Montgomery: "More than 200 military bases show that the United States occupies most of the strategic points in the world and can project armed forces to most parts of the world at any time."
Chairman: "No. This means that half of the US military is tied up in bases. It has 280 million troops, 150 million in various military bases, and 100 million in logistics and support forces. It has no mobile forces, only More than 200 bases that cannot be moved are like gun towers."
"It is true that the US military cannot immediately use more than 5 troops in any direction."
Chairman: "So, we are not worried now that the United States will launch a full-scale attack on China. We were worried in 53 and 54, but we are not worried now. Comrade Khrushchev has some worries. I told him about it, but I don't know if he listened to it. No. The United States does not have a large mobile corps, so it cannot move us, nor the Soviet Union."
Montgomery: "Then there is another topic about Japan. The main base of the United States in the East is Japan. Recently, you and Japan are also trying to improve relations. In terms of geographical location, you think China may remove Japan from the US tanks. Take it off?"
Chairman: "The Japan-US Treaty binds Japan and the United States. This bondage is not so easy to break free. Moreover, whether Japan will get off the car depends on how strong the Japanese people's willingness to oppose the war is. China is only an external cause, and the attitude of the Japanese people That’s the key internal factor.”

"Mr. Chairman," Montgomery uttered the last question, "historically, when a country becomes powerful, . . . a strong country tends to become aggressive. Fifty years from now After that, China will become one of the most powerful countries in the world. What will happen to China then?"
"50 years later, China will still be the China it is now. The Chinese army will stay within its own territory, and the navy will go a little farther, but it will also stay on the high seas, and will not go to other people's territorial waters to set up cannons. Bomb people." The chairman said, "Actually, we are still being invaded by the invaders, and we have fought a self-defense counterattack, but India still occupies a lot of our territory."
Chapter 25, earning both ends
"If the 'Gu Diao' test is successful, then the second-generation uranium bomb equipped with Dongfeng-2, the opinion of the Ministry of National Defense is not to manufacture, and use the 80 kg of highly enriched uranium 235 in other places."
"Minister Tang, is this going to use a 2 million-ton HD-400 hydrogen bomb warhead on Dongfeng-2?"
Fangshan.
The main research and development personnel of the Institute of Atomic Energy are all here, and there is no business trip. The blueprint of HD-2 has been sent to the nuclear plant in Xi'an. This time, Tang Hua and Deng Jiaxian Yumin don't need to go to the nuclear plant together, and everything can be done according to the procedure.
The first sample of the HD-2 hydrogen bomb "Gu Diao" arrived at an air force base near Urumqi yesterday. The H-6 nuclear attack bomber moved here in August. Speaking of which, this H-8 should probably be called Figure-6 - This is the second H-16 of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which belongs to XAC's "assembly and manufacturing stage results", and most of the whole machine still uses Soviet components.
"Gu Diao" is already the second type of hydrogen bomb designed by China. After the "梼杌" test explosion, Deng Jiaxian found out the reason why the equivalent was 10% less than the original design value based on the test field data. Both Qian Sanqiang and Deng Jiaxian believed that there is no need to explode another HD-1, and directly use this It can be used in the design of HD-2.
Not only has the mechanism of radiation implosion been clarified, but HD-2 is also much more mature than HD-1 in terms of hydrogen bomb structure. The regular blunt round bullet shape means that it can be used as a single head of the Dongfeng-400 long-range missile or as a warhead of the Dongfeng-3 intermediate missile.
Next year's Dongfeng-5 intercontinental missile can also use HD-2, but Deng Jiaxian, Yu Min, and Peng Hengwu are very confident that they will test the 1961-million-ton missile warhead in [-].
Deng Jia first asked Tang Hua if he planned to install a hydrogen bomb on Dongfeng-2. Tang Hua shook his head and said, "No. The main reason is: Dongfeng-2 will soon be obsolete. The size and weight specifications of the warhead should have been sent to you."
"I've seen it. It's quite difficult. The mass of the warhead does not exceed 500 kilograms, and the warhead of Dongfeng-2 is more than two tons."
唐华:“但是东风-4整个导弹重量才8吨。东风-2都过40吨了吧。对了,还有东风-6呢,这个的核战斗部型,弹头质量不超过300公斤。”
Yu Min: "Director Deng, I think whether it is 500 kilograms or 300 kilograms, there is hope. I'm talking about hydrogen bombs, not atomic bombs."
Tang Hua: "I knew you could do it. In 1962, Dongfeng-4 may have to end all test launches. At that time, your miniaturized hydrogen bomb should come out. Is it called HD-3 or HD-4?"
Deng Jiaxian: "HD-4 and HD-3 are 5-million-ton equivalent hydrogen bombs under design, which are allocated to Dongfeng-[-]."
"One last thing," Tang Hua said, "Although the Gu sculpture has arrived, the time for the airdrop test is not September 9st, and it may be delayed until September 1th."
"I thought it was about to start, but it turned out that it would take almost 20 days," Deng Jiaxian said, "Is it the test site or the Air Force is not ready?"
"It's all ready, ready to launch and test at any time. The only problem is the Rome Olympics. The chairman, prime minister, and Nie Shuai all have the same opinion: Our nuclear tests should avoid the cycle of the Olympics."
……
Rome, Italy.
In the Olympic Stadium, there is a shining silver wolf standing on all fours. Under the wolf are two dolls drinking wolf milk. The emblem of the Rome Olympic Games is also the city emblem of the city of Rome, which is taken from the legend of the origin of the city of Rome.
Italian President Giovanni Goronci announced the opening of the Olympic Games, and Olympic delegations from 83 countries entered the venue one by one.
The Chinese delegation has a total of 90 people, 8 more than the previous session.However, considering that the Olympic football team was eliminated by North Korea and lost a lot of people, the actual number of events that the Chinese team participated in this Olympic Games is much more than the previous one.
However, the 90-member delegation is only a fraction of that of the 292-member US delegation and the 283-member Soviet delegation.In addition, at the opening ceremony of this session, the delegation with the largest number was neither the United States nor the Soviet Union, but the 293-member East-West German joint team.
Yang Boyong, the main force of the Chinese men's basketball team, served as the flag bearer of the delegation.
The new Chinese men's basketball team learned from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. From 57 to 60, they often exchanged ideas with the Soviet and Eastern teams. When they played official games against the national teams of these countries, they lost an average of 30 points per game. However, they met in the Asian qualifiers. Whoever kills who, in the final battle, the Philippines won 99:50 and marched to Rome, which made the football team on the way to the promotion very skeptical.
……
Beijing.
"Here I boldly predict that the key to world peace in the future may lie in China. If one day, the contradiction between the United States and the Soviet Union intensifies to the point of war, but as long as China exists, World War III will not be fought. "
"I also say frankly that the Soviet Union should not want to fight the Third World War. If there is any key point for China, it is that when China is on the side of the Soviet Union, it can more effectively curb the ambition of the United States to start a war. "
After Montgomery met with the chairman, according to the itinerary, he met Su Yu, and the two walked and chatted on Chang'an Avenue and Tiananmen Square.
Montgomery did not represent the British government or the military, so Su Yu did not meet with Montgomery on behalf of the General Staff.Suyu had known Montgomery for a long time, and Montgomery had known Suyu too, but after meeting, both of them realized that their understanding of each other on paper was too rough.
"Suyu, this person is very dull, all he thinks about is fighting." Chu Qing also interjected.
"After the liberation of Shanghai in 49, I said that the war had been fought for several years. We were either marching or preparing to march. We didn't have a chance to be alone together. Why don't we go shopping in Shanghai. He agreed."
"He and I went shopping. There were no shops open at that time, so we walked slowly. He suddenly said: The cafe at the intersection in front is not bad."
