What the Prime Minister said to Ambassador Eugene was: "The United States should be the first to ask the Soviet Union for peace instead of us asking the United States for peace." When the Prime Minister said this, China had not shot down the U-2, so China has not spoken first Connect with America.
Well now, what I said before has come true.
The Chinese media didn’t mention much about the United States and the Soviet Union holding national exhibitions. If you read the newspaper and didn’t pay attention to the tofu cubes in the corners of the 678 page, you might not know about it. The focus of the Chinese people in July is not here.
7月12日，长征-2号第二次发射，六分仪-2号卫星入轨成功。在六分仪-2号入轨时，六分仪-1号卫星已经凑合着可以提供导航定位服务了。
Of course, single-satellite navigation and positioning is definitely adequate. Even if you have a ground receiver at hand, according to the satellite navigation timetable released by the computing center, near Beijing, it is only available from 4:4 p.m. to 40:5 p.m. The two time windows from 40:6 to 20:[-] can provide navigation services.
Because the Sextant-1 satellite passed over Beijing during these two time periods, the ground receiving end could receive the signal and calculate the coordinates.
The launch of the Sextant-2 satellite also means that China has launched 4 launch vehicles and sent 4 satellites into space orbit with a 100% success rate.
Although the Soviet Union and the United States have carried out more than a dozen and dozens of space launches since 1957, the success rate of the space launches of the United States and the Soviet Union goes without saying. Rockets and satellites are falling everywhere in the Caribbean Sea and the Kazakhstan steppe. Component.
……
"The sextant satellite navigation system has now proved that the design of the satellite is successful, and the Long March-2 launch vehicle has a high success rate, so the navigation system can be initially put into operation soon," Tang Hua said, "Mr. Ye Now, the marketing work for the civilian version of the ground receiver of the navigation system can now be started."
"It just so happens that our embassy in the United States can operate in the United States at the ambassadorial level," said Ye Jizhuang, Minister of Foreign Trade. "North America, Europe... I find that our embassy is like a sales shop."
Tang Hua, Ye Jizhuang, and several participants from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all laughed.Now China is a huge group company owned by the whole people, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the pre-sales and after-sales of the group company?It seems to be possible.
"Minister Ye, when it comes to North America and Canada, the potential demand for satellite navigation is not small. Their land area is larger than that of the United States, their population is sparse, and there are many ships sailing at sea."
Ye Jizhuang: "Now the Canadian ambassador is concurrently held by the ambassador to the United States. There is only a consulate in Ottawa. Has your Ministry of Foreign Affairs changed all of a sudden?"
……
Pakistan, Islamabad.
China and Pakistan established diplomatic relations in 1951.In the first few years of the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Pakistan had little contact. At that time, China was busy resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and liberating Taiwan. Later, China basically had no maritime trade, and had no economic and trade relations with Pakistan. Everyone just greeted each other at international conferences or other similar activities. That's all.
At this time, the Soviet Union was not interested in Pakistan at all. On the contrary, the United States had some military and economic assistance to Pakistan.
In 1959, China and the United States had only reconciled for two months. In mid-July, Ding Guoyu, the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, contacted President Ayub Khan. After the two met, Ding Guoyu solemnly proposed to Ayub Khan: ~A public visit to Pakistan sometime in September.
Ayub Khan thought for half a minute and understood the intention behind the Prime Minister's proposed visit to Pakistan.
"Mr. Prime Minister proposed to visit our country because he wanted to reach a certain degree of agreement with us on India?"
"Mr. President, we are not here to form a military alliance or a united front for offense and defense. China and Pakistan are neighbors. We should be friendly neighbors and work together for peaceful development," Ding Guoyu said. If we do, then the core topic of our discussion must be 'peace', not 'war'."
Chapter 227, I want you to see this kitchen
Beidaihe, West Beach.
The end of July 1959.This time period means that everyone came to Beidaihe from Beijing to hide from the hot pot days in Beijing.
This is really hidden, because the buildings in Sibu and Yihui do not have air-conditioning. The four ministries and one council building built in 1953 had no air-conditioning, let alone other ministries and commissions that found scattered houses as offices.
"In 1958, we produced more than 1200 million tons of steel, and we used it up without feeling anything. Where did it go? In January this year, everyone stopped for the Chinese New Year. In March, all places clamored for steel. In fact , In 1 we also imported 3 tons of steel, of course there were more special steels.”
The economic work conference summarizes the economic (mainly industrial) development in the first half of the year.Li Fuchun summarized the development of each industry in the first half of the year one by one.
"So it makes sense to say that the forward-looking expansion of the steel industry in 56 to 57 is reasonable," Tang Hua said. "As for where all the steel is spent, Minister Liu should be able to say that last year their construction department spent produced 530 million tons of steel."
Liu Xiufeng: "During the Second Five-Year Plan period, the basic urban construction of 96 cities will be completed. The sewer system is a major user of steel. Last year, the tap water system alone used 105 million tons, and the sewer... By the way, the sewer system is not only steel. , There is also the issue of manpower, I still want to talk about it at this meeting. In addition to steel and steel, urban construction also needs manpower, and work such as digging trenches and erecting pipes requires people to do it.”
Deng Zifei: "The problem of manpower is on my side. The growth of agriculture, especially grain production, did not meet expectations last year."
The manpower for urban capital construction now consists of a backbone of a small number of engineers, technicians, and skilled workers + seasonal workers in rural areas near the city.The manpower transferred from the countryside is also paid monthly according to the national standard. The salary can now be paid by the state, but the food consumption during the working period has indeed increased.
Although a farmer is a big living person in the countryside and at the construction site, he can work one at a time during the slack period in the countryside. When digging ditches at the construction site, he has to eat three full meals a day, and this gap comes out.
So now the State Planning Commission is pinching the growth rate of grain production every year to formulate the urbanization progress rate.
"Our fertilizer factory supplied more than 360 million tons of fertilizer last year, and this year even more, 400 million tons. How come these fertilizers have no effect when they are scattered on the ground?"
It was the chairman who spoke, and it was Deng Zifei who looked at him.
"Chairman, the reason behind this is very complicated..." Deng Zifei said.
"You want to talk to me alone at night again, don't you?" The chairman shook his head and lit a cigarette. "Well, let's talk all night."
……
In the Beidaihe Economic Work Conference in 1959, the issue of light industry products was discussed the most, but it was not the output of light industry, but the ratio of light industry exports to self-use.
In industrial construction, if you don’t count the large sum of aid from the Soviet Union in the early days, relying on self-reliance, if you need machine tools, you have to build machine tools, and if you need heavy machines, you have to build machines.
But now there is another way, make some colorful gadgets, sell them abroad, earn dollars, and buy back machine tools and machinery equipment with dollars, which means that the production capacity of light industry can also be exchanged for production capacity of heavy industry, through foreign trade Trade into heavy equipment needed for industrial construction.
So what percentage of light industrial products are used for export and what percentage is returned to currency for self-use is a ratio that needs to be regulated macroscopically.In fact, this export ratio is not difficult to calculate. The main reason is that there are several kinds of light industrial products, and the profit margin of foreign sales is too attractive.
In the end, the chief accountant held back that "returning currency to keep the market stable is above all else", and decided to give priority to ensuring the total amount of domestic commodities.

"Khrushchev and Nixon visited the American National Exhibition. Nixon took Khrushchev to the kitchen of a model house in the United States, and then the two debated directly in the kitchen."
During the Beidaihe meeting, news of Nixon and Khrushchev's rivalry also spread to Beijing. During the meeting in Beidaihe, Tang Hua, Premier, Ji Pengfei, and Gong Peng talked about it.
The strategy of Nixon’s visit to the Soviet Union this time was to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. The kitchen is not only the advantage area of the United States, but also the place where Khrushchev was most likely to neglect and fail to do his homework in advance. The preset battlefield is here.
Nixon: "Mr. Chairman, I want you to see this kitchen. It's the kind of kitchen people have in California."
Khrushchev: "We have such things."
Nixon: "But we make these furniture and appliances by the tens of millions, and let people buy any combination. Like this one, it makes women's kitchen work easier..."
Khrushchev seems to have caught a little loophole: "Women, kitchen work? Your capitalist attitude towards women does not exist in a communist society."
Nixon laughed, not being distracted by Khrushchev, but continued his topic.
"This house can be bought for only $14000. Most American families can buy a house for $10000 to $15000. Let me give you an easy-to-understand example. If this house is mortgaged for 25 or 30 years, $100 a month is enough. Our steel mill workers, you know they’re on strike right now, but they’re making $300 to $500 a month, and they’re all able to afford this house.”
Nixon went on to introduce the entire model house they visited.
Khrushchev: "We also have steel workers and farmers who can afford $14000 to buy a house. The houses you build in the United States can only last 20 years, so developers can always sell new houses. We build houses to be strong. Our houses are built for built by future generations."
"No, no, Khrushchev missed the pain point in America, he should have said, 'Whoa, $14000 for a $36000 house?! Well the extra $22000 is probably interest, but best Workers don't have a Great Depression, better not lose their jobs in a Great Depression, and when they can't make their monthly payments, his house may be in vain."
The few people enjoying the shade on the beach thought about it, and then laughed.
These are all after-the-fact comments, and it is impossible for Khrushchev to listen to the debate plan here in advance.
In the kitchen debate, Nixon generally had the upper hand. Khrushchev was forced to use the fine-tuned mode in the debate. Nixon said what he said, and he would use it. Take the initiative in what topics to bring up.
After the debate was broadcast live in the United States, Nixon gained a lot of points. Later, he was so confident that he ran for president three times and was finally elected in 1968. This kitchen debate has credit.
