"Not yet, Objective B is tailor-made for it."

"That means it has to be done step by step. There are still two problems for the Navy. No. 1 is the No. [-], and the second is funding."

Moscow.

After returning to Moscow, Li Fuchun and Tang Hua's regiment missions were all completed and they could return home.After the commander-in-chief's delegation attended the [-]th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, they would visit various parts of the Soviet Union for more than half a month before returning, and they would visit Mongolia once on the way back home.

Back at the station, the commander-in-chief and Nie Shuai first called the two of them and several related personnel to hold a meeting.

"I can only recount this matter orally. You can get the general idea and you don't need to take notes."

Nie Shuai briefly talked about the last secret meeting and secret report of the [-]th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union a few days ago.

The confidentiality of the so-called secret report is not particularly high. The Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee printed about 150 secret reports. Khrushchev personally reviewed the manuscript, and then distributed it to the republics of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and various socialist countries in Asia. State embassies, as well as representatives of communist parties in Moscow in other countries.

Wang Ruofei, who had returned to China with the report, should have already arrived in Beijing. The chairman and the prime minister might have held an impromptu meeting of the Politburo to discuss this matter.

"This report criticizes Stalin's seven major mistakes: the cult of personality; destroying the legal system and launching a great purge; making mistakes in the Great Patriotic War; causing ethnic antagonism and ethnic conflicts on ethnic issues; pushing Yugoslavia from an ally to a opponents; economic policy that led to Soviet agricultural backwardness; personal dictatorship.”

"After the release of the secret report, on February 2, General Secretary Khrushchev received our delegation and reiterated the main content of the report."

"The measures in the report are very strict, and the words are very serious. I have already emphasized the main points for attention to the delegation yesterday. Tang Hua, Lao Luo, and you two have just returned, so I will repeat it again. Regarding this report, we almost All members of the delegation refrain from expressing their opinions for the time being, and wait for further instructions from the central government." Nie Shuai finally said.

Tang Hua expressed that he understood what the commander-in-chief and Nie Shuai meant. "Vice Premier Li and I have completed our work in the Soviet Union. We have no other work arrangements and are going to return to Beijing directly."

Commander-in-Chief: "Then your matter will be settled. Back in Beijing, the Chairman and the Prime Minister should have had a meeting to discuss it, and we will have a unified response."

Tang Hua: "Commander-in-Chief, you will stay in the Soviet Union for more than half a month in your next itinerary... I have a personal suggestion, can you remove the visit to Georgia and Tbilisi from the itinerary, cancel the schedule? Well, it’s also good to visit other places temporarily.”

Commander-in-Chief: ...

Nie Shuai: ...

Chief Accountant: "What Tang Hua means is that Tbilisi is the hometown of Comrade Stalin. When we go there, we will encounter many difficult decisions."

Nie Shuai: "The domestic resolution has not yet been issued. When we go to Tbilisi, we can neither express our support for Khrushchev's speech nor express our opposition to Khrushchev's speech. However, the local leaders of Tbilisi and Georgia They will definitely circle around us, asking us to express a few opinions on this matter every day."

Commander-in-Chief: "Rong Zhen is right. When we are surrounded by them and the crowd, it will be very embarrassing."

……

The delegation went to contact the Soviet Union to see if they could adjust the itinerary.

In the past, the trip to Georgia was quite embarrassing. As soon as they arrived in Tbilisi, the delegation’s hotel was always surrounded by crowds, shouting slogans from time to time, “Brothers from the East, speak the truth!” The visit ended early, and we were stuck at the train station when we left.Moreover, three days after the Chinese delegation left, citizens of Tbilisi clashed with the police during the parade, resulting in more than a dozen casualties.

If you can cancel the trip, it can be regarded as avoiding a little embarrassment.

The secret report was unavoidable, and Khrushchev had no intention of discussing it with the Chinese comrades. Not only could Tang Hua not stop it, but even the commander-in-chief's fate would not be able to stop it.

In 1956, there were a lot of things in the socialist camp, and secret reports were not the most serious.The chairman heard the news in China, and during the discussion at the meeting, he said that Khrushchev's report had lifted the lid and made a fool of himself, but in the end he expressed his support for the Soviet Union.

The chairman pointed out that Stalin made a lot of mistakes, and that the merits outweighed the mistakes. After Khrushchev made a report, yesterday was still the sun, but today it has become a dark mass, and the masses cannot turn their minds around. This is not good.In short, the central meaning is "You must criticize Stalin's mistakes, but the method is not appropriate."

The secret report is not the most serious matter. The turmoil in Poland and Hungary caused by the secret report is more serious than the report itself.The incident in Poland was worse than the June 617 incident in East Germany three years ago, but at least it managed to keep the bottom line. The Hungarian side completely lost control and turned into Budapest CQB. The two sides fought suddenly and suddenly, and then turned into Budapest BBQ... …

The secret report cannot prevent it, but if the incident in Poland and Hungary is not so bad, it can also minimize the subsequent impact of the secret report.

……

Before returning to China, Tang Hua still had the last half day. A group of bigwigs who had won the Soviet Socialist Labor Hero Medal had a small gathering.

"Kalashnikov, oh, Davarish, I'm your admirer." Tang Hua smiled and went up to shake hands with Kalashnikov.

Kalashnikov was born in 1919 and is 37 years old this year.After shaking hands with Tang Hua, Kalashnikov said: "Tang Hua, both of our products appeared in the Red Square military parade, but I have your computer in my design bureau. I am not as good as you."

Tang Hua: "That's not necessarily true. Every time I go to military factories and troops, one of the inevitable activities is to find an AK47 to play with."

The two laughed.

Tupolev: "When it comes to military parades, my plane is the last one every time."

Tang Hua lowered his voice in the past: "Comrade Tupolev, there are rumors everywhere that you may get a second Labor Gold Star."

Tupolev chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it.During World War II, he produced the Tu-2 and Tu-4, and now he has the Tu-16 and Tu-95, two heavyweight weapons. He himself feels that it will be a matter of time before the next gold star of labor hangs on his chest.

Alexander Yakovlev, Sergei Ilyushin, Nikolai Dukhov...

That's right, today is a gathering of researchers/designers of weapons and equipment awarded the Order of Heroes of Socialist Labor.

Tang Hua looked around at the venue, he was looking for someone.

Of the 16 people who have been honored three times as Heroes of Socialist Labor, two are here today: Kirill Sholkin and Igor Kurchatov.

Coincidentally, both of them were key figures in the Soviet atomic bomb project.

"Academician Kurchatov, we meet again."

Kurchatov had achieved the achievement of "three labor heroes" last year, and he was also very happy to see Tang Hua: "Chinese comrades, I still remember the last time about nuclear weapons, the discussion between me, you and Academician Sakharov discuss."

Tang Hua: "Haha, not only the three of us, but Comrade Kalashnikov is also here today."

Kurchatov: "Kalashnikov!"

Kalashnikov came over: "Tang Hua, Kuka, what's the matter?"

Kurchatov: "I had a discussion with Tang Hua before, and Tang Hua believed that your AK-47 would kill the most human beings with the inventions of the three of us in the future, while the atomic bomb and Tang Hua's missiles could only next in line.”

Kalashnikov was confused for a while after listening to Kurchatov's words, and replied: "I have a rough estimate of how many people my invention can kill, but how many people can be killed by the atomic bomb, the figure I estimated There’s a huge range up and down.”

Tang Hua: "The lower limit is 20 people, which is what has happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The upper limit is several billion people, right?"

Kalashnikov: "Yes. If you insist on AK-47, then you must think that the atomic bomb will not be used in the future."

Kurchatov: "Two years ago I had doubts about it, but now it seems that the atomic bomb, maybe, maybe, really won't be used anymore..."

Chapter 118, The Development of Nuclear Weapons is to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons

"Comrade Kurchatov, I need your help, and China needs your help."

At the party site, the center of the hall was full of people singing and dancing. In a corner with few people, Tang Hua said to Kurchatov.

Kurchatov looked at Tang Hua: "You still haven't forgotten the atomic bomb."

Tang Hua: "Two years ago, in February 1954, the construction of China's nuclear industry had already started. We set the direction. The goal ahead was nuclear weapons. I don't intend to hide this. If the Soviet Union can improve nuclear technology Give us one or two times of help, and the time for China's successful development of nuclear weapons can be advanced by 2 to 5 years."

Kurchatov sighed first, straightened up to take the bottle, poured himself two-thirds of a glass, and slowly told the story.

"The Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Pulkovo Observatory have been conducting research on radio astronomy telescopes. This telescope detects the universe by receiving and analyzing cosmic high-energy rays. In theory, it can even see the end of the universe. In May 1954, the Academy of Sciences radio The Ministry of Astronomy decided to build the first large radio telescope in the Soviet Union at the Pulkovo Observatory. It took a year, that is, last May, this large radio telescope was assembled and put into use."

"However, when Pulkovo's radio telescope started to operate for the first time, there was an abnormality. After repeated debugging and improvement by scientists, its observation and imaging of the universe has always been very bad. On the obtained images of the universe, some strange things always appear randomly. stars, yet inspection of those regions by optical telescopes shows that there is nothing there."
