"The Indian Ocean is our Indian ocean. China's five warships can't change anything. China has no ability to invade India from the sea."
"Sorry, this is not just about five warships," the ambassador said. "Although it is only five warships, but... allow me to say something else. Remember the Eastern Mediterranean in November 1956?"
Of course Nehru knew.
In just a few minutes, the two destroyers "Experience" and "Mighty" of the Soviet Navy cleared all Israeli warships and cargo ships on the route from Jaffa to Port Said, including a 3000-ton destroyer.
"The Chinese warships anchored in Port Klang, all the destroyers are equipped with the same anti-ship missiles as the Soviet destroyers at that time," the ambassador said, "maybe even stronger, because the weaponry is constantly improving. Mr. Prime Minister, I We do not want a similar naval battle in the East Indian Ocean, it is a tragedy for India itself and the peace of the entire region."
……
During the period when China and India officially declared a ceasefire, and the two countries entered into a non-war period, a U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane slowly entered from the southwest of Xinjiang, made a large circle over the desert, and slowly flew away.
Xinjiang is too big, and there are not so many Hongqi-3 missiles that can cast a wide net on U-2. Before the new air defense missiles, interceptors and interceptor missiles enter service, it is difficult for U-2 to be caught flying over Xinjiang.
The photos of the U-2 reconnaissance plane were developed three days later, and analysts from the CIA and staff officers of the U.S. Air Force studied hard around a thick stack of large photos.
"During the reconnaissance flight two months ago, we determined that China had built a nuclear test base in Xinjiang," the CIA intelligence officer said, "so this time the U-2's aerial photography and film were mainly used to photograph this suspicious area. "
The aerial photos of U-2 are tilted at an angle of 30 degrees to 60 degrees. In the afternoon sun, the golden desert of Lop Nur is like a blanket on the ground, but carefully discerned, there are still some fine variegated particles on the blanket.These may be residential villages, industrial buildings, or base facilities.
"Look! A tall tower! We may have found a nuclear explosion tower!" The photo in the hands of the Air Force staff just happened to capture a tower-like object on the ground.
Several people gathered around to look at the photos together, and then, the analyst took out a measuring tool, "The height may be 80 to 100 meters, and the location is here..."
“11月10日到1月10日之间矗立起来的核爆塔。”分析员说,“之前判断中国会在1月31日以前试爆核武器,看来是正确的。”
“我们当初的推测是1月1日到1月31日,现在1月已经过去了13天。”
"Are there vehicles working around the blast tower?"
"It may not be possible to distinguish the vehicles on the ground, where is my magnifying glass..."
The CIA analyst took out a magnifying glass and looked at the nuclear explosion tower several times. It seemed that, possibly, there were really no vehicles around.Is this that the nuclear bomb has not yet been mounted on the tower, or has the nuclear bomb been mounted on the tower?
"Oh Schett, you must be joking," the Air Force staff officer picked up a stack of photos and immediately began to complain, "Did you mix up the order of the shots? Another photo of the nuclear explosion tower was taken."
"There is no confusion. The time and direction of the shooting are marked on the film! My God, this is the second Chinese nuclear explosion tower!" The analyst snatched the photo. The shape of the sand dunes around the explosion tower is different from before.This is a newly erected nuclear explosion tower!
"You took another photo of a nuclear explosion tower." The Air Force staff member couldn't understand why every time he grabbed the photo, he could find a thin vertical matchstick in the photo, "Tell me this is It's not a misplaced photo."
"It's not a misplaced photo. You guessed it, this is the third nuclear explosion tower erected by the Chinese in the test area."
Everyone was in a hurry, and the CIA intelligence officer had to do it himself, put the photos together on the map one by one, and then marked the location on the map. "The three nuclear explosion towers of the Chinese are here, here, and here...the distance between Tower 11 and Tower 25 is [-] kilometers, and the distance between Tower [-] and Tower [-] is about [-] kilometers...Is this a security vehicle?"
Analyst: "Yes. There is no support vehicle for the No. [-] nuclear explosion tower, but there are more than a dozen unknown objects around the No. [-] tower. They should be trucks and trailers. The Chinese...will detonate their atomic bomb on the No. [-] tower soon. gone."
Chapter 1, Brilliant Radiation
Lop Nor.
The No. 1 nuclear explosion tower interpreted by the Americans is the test explosion tower of "Hundun", the No. 2 nuclear explosion tower is the "Qingqi" test explosion tower, and the No. 3 nuclear explosion tower is the "梼杌" test explosion tower .
The real numbers given to the three towers by the Lop Nur base are No. 1, No. 0 and No. 2 respectively.
In the past month, from the nearest railway station to Lop Nur, military trucks loaded with goods have been driving on the Tianshan Highway. In addition to the two atomic bombs and support facilities, there are also tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, cars, planes, fortifications and construction equipment. Prefabricated components, 20 monkeys, 30 sheep and other small animals, with a total weight of 1400 tons.
This weight does not include the logistics support materials that the base motor team has been transporting to Lop Nur since June this year.
1 month 14 day.
"It's fixed!"
Zhang Yunyu, the commander of the Lop Nur base, pushed the door in. "Report to Commander Nie, the weather is fine today, the wind is less than level 4, and it is suitable for a test explosion. The time for the test explosion is set at [-] o'clock this afternoon."
Nie Shuai: "The last inspection, Qiongqi, the detonating mechanism, and the cage tower, all must be ensured to be safe."
"Yes! I will personally go to the Cage Tower to supervise!"
……
8 am.
The test tower of No. 0 monster is 102 meters high, and there are lifting systems, motors, electrical pathways and workshops on the tower.The hoisting system slowly lowered the hanging basket, Zhang Yunyu and two technicians boarded the hanging basket, and rose to the tool room near the top of the tower. Here, Zhang Yunyu had to clear the static electricity on his body, and then climbed the stairs on foot to the first floor and entered the explosion room .
"Qongqi" is right in front of you. Zhang Yunyu personally commanded and unloaded it when it first arrived at the base. I have seen it countless times in the past month.
Today, Zhang Yunyu looked at the "Qongqi" in front of him again, and felt that it seemed to have a soul. This giant beast from ancient times awakened and was about to release its infinite power in the world.
Looking out through the small window of the explosion room, the sky is clear, and within the visible range, there are orderly arrays of tanks, cars, cannons, bunkers, and houses. These are all placed and built by him and the base engineering staff in the past month. .
All the experimental facilities are spread out on the vast ground, just like a quiet battlefield before the war.
The staff in the explosion room meticulously completed the final inspection and filled out the operating procedure sheet.
The last job is to close the electric switch of the detonation cable in the explosion room. Afterwards, Zhang Yunyu signed the operation procedure sheet: "January 1960, 1, Zhang Yunyu"
At 12:[-] noon, all personnel left the test tower.Zhang Yunyu's car was the last one to leave. After driving a few hundred meters, he asked the driver to stop and looked back at the iron tower for the last time.
……
master control station.
Nie Shuai paced back and forth in the trench outside the main control station building, holding binoculars in his hands-in fact, the main control station is far away from the test tower, and the iron tower cannot be seen clearly with a telescope in the trench, but Nie Shuai not only held tightly Looking at the binoculars, and raising the binoculars to the eyes from time to time, looking in the direction of the explosion test tower.
"Commander, everything is ready."
Zhang Yunyu saluted and said something.
Nie Shuai nodded.
"Twenty years ago, in 20, I commanded the raid on Zhengtai Road and Pinghan Road in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments," Nie Shuai wanted to say something, "paralyzed the Japanese army's transportation hub, but mainly to demolish the railway. The steel rails are all Good steel, disassembled and transported back to the base, can be used to make a lot of guns.”
"I was there at that time, the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region Independent Regiment, also known as the Pinghan Guerrilla Detachment Headquarters..." Zhang Yunyu said, "There will be an atomic bomb on Tuba Road, Commander Nie."
……
At the main control station, Qian Sanqiang, Wang Ganchang, Guo Yonghuai, Cheng Kaijia, Chen Nengkuan, and members of the heavy nuclear reaction team were both excited and nervous.The restless atmosphere spread among the crowd at the main control station, and the frequency of everyone raising their wrists to look at their watches was three times higher than usual.
"It can't stop ringing!" Qian Sanqiang said something thoughtless, and then repeated it again: "It can't stop ringing!"
Zhang Yunyu touched his close-fitting shirt pocket for the tenth time, and the key lay quietly in the pocket, which was the key to start the nuclear explosion console. It started the "Qingqi" nuclear explosion program. On January 10, 1960, Zhang Yunyu was the one who pressed the nuclear button of China's first atomic bomb.
"In the army that conquered the universe..." Cheng Kaijia sang.
"In the army that conquers the universe, I am the one who silently contributes"
"In the long river of brilliant career, I am the one who is always on the run..."
The continuous singing broke the tranquility of the main control station.
"Nie Shuai! If only Deng Jiaxian and Tang Hua were here!" Qian Sanqiang said.
