Evidence of poor combat effectiveness was disclosed by the New York Times.
After more than half a month, Agent Jonathan finally negotiated a price with the newspaper and sold dozens of photos he took to the New York Times.The New York Times soon ran an entire page of the photos, along with Jonathan's own article, "The Sino-Indian War: The Destruction of India's Rear Communication Hub."
"What you see here is a road and railway in India during the Sino-Indian War. It is located near Siliguri, India. Since India's supplies and reinforcements to the east have to pass through this narrow area, it is also called 'Siliguri' corridor'."
"I just happened to see this scene when I was cruising aimlessly in India because the tea acquisition business was blocked."
"According to an Indian military officer who did not want to be named, Chinese planes entered Indian airspace and launched dozens of missiles at a distance of about 25 kilometers from the road. These missiles are equipped with television cameras that can automatically identify and track targets on the ground , allowing the missile to accurately hit and destroy truck-sized objects after flying 25 kilometers."
"This long-range weapon makes the anti-aircraft artillery positions deployed by the Indian army along roads and railways completely ineffective, and vehicles congested on roads become targets of missiles."
"The Indian military officer also revealed a piece of news: Four days after the outbreak of the Sino-Indian war, India lost its air supremacy. Only anti-aircraft guns in the east can threaten Chinese aircraft, and the Chinese can destroy these anti-aircraft guns one by one if they want to."
"Many people still remember the Taiwan Strait conflict between China and the United States six years ago. In that battle, the Chinese Air Force only used a small number of missiles, and most of the ground attack was done by bombs, rockets and machine guns. After six years, we found that China has become accustomed to using guided weapons in air-to-ground strikes as a recipe for success."
"What we see is the destruction of India's rear transportation hub, but behind these pictures, we can get the message that this war is unnecessary for India, because India has little chance of winning from the beginning."
……
Jonathan's pictures and texts finally shifted the attention of ordinary people in the United States and Europe from the nuclear arms race and the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union to the southern foothills of the Himalayas.
India, which had just become independent from the British rule, fought a battle with a mysterious oriental red country in the plateau and mountains with little sense of existence, and the result was so fierce?
The common people watch the excitement, while the high-level officials watch the doorway.A few days later, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives raised questions: Mr. President, last month you provided a $10 billion development loan to India with a flick of a pen. Will India pay it back?
Eisenhower's answer was: India has a population of more than 4 million people, and if one person pays 2.5 US dollars, they can still pay for it. It's a small matter.
But the congressmen are still worried. The garrison in eastern India is almost completely destroyed. If China continues to attack, India will be destroyed and the economy will be in a slump. Then there will be questions about whether the loan can be repaid.
As a result, for the first time, the U.S. Congress had a dispute over India. Arms dealers thought it was okay to fight, and India would buy more commodities (weapons).And lawmakers worried about the financial situation worried that the loans would be in vain, and believed that it would be best to bring China and India back to peace.
Still, Eisenhower was indifferent to the bickering in Congress, or to India's weakened state after the atomic bombing.
"India cannot defeat China on the battlefield, and seeking peace is inevitable. We cannot force India to continue fighting."
This was what Eisenhower said to Allen Dulles, who advocated behind the scenes to encourage India to continue the war.
"We will continue to support India. Of course, the main way of support is a small amount of military aid and a large amount of arms trade. Although India has stopped the war, it will definitely strengthen its armaments in the future. As long as we have a good diplomatic relationship with India Regardless of the state of the relationship, India's arms trade orders will eventually fall into the pockets of the United States."

Xi'an, Fufeng County Third Machinery Factory.
Deng Jiaxian and Yu Min got the observation data of the nuclear test, and went to Chen Nengkuan. The three of them did not move the day before the computer.
"Old Deng Laoyu," Tang Hua said, "didn't you say earlier that as long as the equivalent of 'Qongqi' is between 23500 and 25000 tons, the design of the hydrogen bomb does not need to be changed? In that range, and pretty close to the middle, almost perfect."
Yu Min: "It is not necessary to change it. But Jiaxian and I plan to substitute all the ray data in and calculate from scratch."
Deng Jiaxian: "That is to say, we redesigned the hydrogen bomb after we got the accurate data. Of course, it was just a simple calculation. Many of the calculations have been calculated in Fangshan, and we only need to change the parameters."
"Can we leave in 24 hours?" Tang Hua looked at his watch.
"should be no problem."
……
Deng Jia first said no problem, and it was no problem. After 6 hours, the check is over.Then Deng Jiaxian and Yu Min explained to the workshop manager and factory engineer how to adjust the small details on the 梼杌 for a long time.After another two or three hours, the engineer ran into the workshop, made some minor adjustments, and then used tools to put the shell on the 梼杌, and carefully tightened the screws.
Is this the first radiation implosion hydrogen bomb made in China?A guy with a maximum yield of 110 million tons?
The fission core of Wuwu is the same as that of Qiongqi.Qiongqi is thick, short and round, like an egg with four fins inlaid on it. The diameter of the stalk is about the same as Qiongqi, and its length is nearly doubled, like a huge capsule.
"梼杌, also known as Ao Hen, has a body like a tiger and a hairy dog, with very long hair, a face that looks a bit like a human, legs that look a bit like a tiger, a mouth with tusks like wild boars, and a tail that is only one foot long... ..."
Deng Jiaxian recited the allusions of 梼杌 behind Tang Hua.
"There are several versions of the legend about 梼杌," Tang Hua said. "In myths and legends, it is a monster, but in "Zuo Zhuan" it is said that he is a naughty son of Zhuan Xu. I don’t know if this monster will be replaced by us in the future. Artists have repeatedly processed it into what it looks like.”
Yu Min: "No matter how the artistic image is drawn, I guess everyone will call it the 'No. [-] monster'."
……
1 month 18 day.
The special train slowly left the machinery factory, just like the special train transporting Qiongqi and Huntun, the hydrogen bomb, spare parts, various tools, technicians, and equipment for maintaining the hydrogen bomb on the train, half of the train was jammed.Tang Hua and the others were sitting in a passenger car, walking with the hydrogen bomb.
"How many days can we go to Xinjiang?" Zhou Guangzhao asked.
Tang Hua: "The Ministry of Railways announced that the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway will be closed. After passing Lanzhou, our train will be the only train running on the 1-kilometer railway. You can get off the train on January 20, but after unloading, you can go from the station to Lop Nur. It will take another two or three days."
Yu Min: "The entire Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway is closed? Has it become our special line? Will it not affect the normal production and life in Xinjiang?"
"It will be affected, but the road is only closed for three days, so it's okay..." Tang Hua said.
Now there is only one passenger train and 4-5 freight trains every two days from Urumqi to the mainland.Stop it, stop it, it doesn't matter.
In another 10 years, the railways and highways across the country, including Xinjiang, will probably be too busy. At that time, all roads will be closed to make way for nuclear bomb trains. I am afraid it will not be possible at all.
……
On the way to Lop Nur, Hun Dun was about to go to the test tower.
On January 1, a Soviet-made heavy-duty trailer slowly approached Tower 20, followed by a large number of engineering vehicles in front of and behind it.
The core of Hun Dun is also a 'Qongqi', but its diameter is 1.5 times that of Qiongqi.The structure is to wrap a layer of lithium deuteride 6 on the outside of the atomic bomb, then wrap a layer of uranium 238 on the outside of this layer, and wrap a layer of neutron reflective layer on the outside.It is wrapped layer by layer, so it is commonly known as thousand-layer cake.
The characteristic is that it is large in size and low in efficiency, and wastes a lot of fusion raw materials (although lithium deuteride 6 is not as expensive as tritium, it is really not cheap), and the equivalent cannot be increased.But if they don't understand how to design a hydrogen bomb, a country can only choose the layered cake structure and blow up a 4 to 50-ton bomb to frighten the whole world.
The heavy-duty trailer drove directly to the bottom of the explosion test tower, and the fixing device was released, and the tank was grabbed by the mechanical arm, and then hoisted up by the crane.
All the operators were cautious, and the speed of lifting the nuclear bomb was also very slow. It took 100 minutes to reach a height of 15 meters.
Hanging to the top of the explosion test tower, there is a small house and a heating device - the outside environment is minus 1 degrees, this is a test bomb, I don't know if it can withstand the low temperature, the No. [-] little monster still needs to be pampered of.
"Its equivalent forecast is 12 tons? How much error will there be?" Nie Shuai asked Qian Sanqiang.
"According to Qiongqi's explosion parameters, we have revised the equivalent prediction of Huntun to 12.2 tons," Qian Sanqiang said, "The error will not be too big, it should be between 11.2 and 13.2. The advantage of this Huundun is that, It will definitely explode, and the yield will be significantly greater than that of pure fission Qiongqi."
……
1 month 22 day.
Tang Hua saw the building complex of the Lop Nur Nuclear Test Base from a long distance from the jeep. They were all single-story, solid steel-concrete buildings half buried underground. A large group of people were waiting for him at the intersection in front of the base.
"Nie Shuai!" "Old Qian!"
