Chapter 1 and four, I didn't expect the three to meet here

“12月27日上午9时,美第8集团军、第10军战术电台更换密钥。此次美军更换密钥为非正常密钥轮换,推测美军可能对其自身密码安全产生了一定的怀疑。我中心正收集密文,预计今晚至明天凌晨可收集足量密文进行破解。50中心。”

On the afternoon of December 12, Wang Yongjun sent this telegram to Beijing Hezhisi at the same time.

"The U.S. military is in a mess right now, as can be seen from their radio communications," Wang Yongjun said to Deng Hua at the 50th Center. Use the old code. The Eighth Army Command has no choice but to use the old code to call back the unit after receiving the telegram with the old code.”

At 9 a.m., the 50 Center intercepted a telegram that the U.S. military could not read using the old virtual machine, and soon concluded that the U.S. military had changed the key.But until now, there are still some telegrams using old passwords, so after intercepting the telegrams, the staff have to go through the virtual machine routinely, put the ones that can be read out first, and archive the ones that cannot be read out.

"Let me see which troops are still using the old code." Deng Hua took the telegram and searched for the locations of these troops one by one on the map, and it took a long time to count them all. "Well, all the troops in the Seoul area and south of the Han River have used the new code. One regiment and three battalions of the 3rd American Division on the Eastern Front are still using the old code. The 24th Division of the United States rushed forward to defend the 6th Division in the South. Old codes are used. Apparently, these units are in motion and cannot receive new orders for the time being."

Wang Yongjun continued to watch the intelligence with the telegram translation.At this time, a telegram from the Beijing War Information Center was also sent to the 50th Center and Zhisi.

"Peng Ye, Information Center: The ambush and arrest of Walker on the 23rd has aroused the US military's suspicion of its encryption system. Although the US military has not fully realized the seriousness so far, we still have an intelligence advantage. The repeated abuse of intelligence advantages may cause the U.S. military to completely change its wireless communication encryption system, which will bring difficulties to our continuous acquisition of intelligence. Capturing Walker has a certain impact on the morale of the enemy's troops and intensifying internal conflicts in the reactionary group of the United Nations Army. There are certain benefits, but it has no direct benefit to the specific battles on the front line. The ambush and capture of Walker is not an example, and similar surprise attacks cannot be carried out in the future. Mao Zhou."

In northern North Korea, an unremarkable village.

Major General William Frisch Dean, commander of the 24th Meibu Division, has lived here for a long time.

More than four months ago, his troops were dispersed by the Korean People's Army. The command was separated from the main force on the way to break through. Dean hid alone in the mountains day and night for a full 36 days. Classes, cutting bark and drinking sap, and many other skills.But in the end he was captured by the People's Army and sent here.But that's okay, after settling down, he ate and drank. Dean, who was skinny and skinny when he was lurking in the mountains, has returned to his normal weight now.

There were many footsteps walking outside the door.Someone had just delivered dinner half an hour ago, so this was unusual staff turnover.Dean raised his head, the cell door opened, and two soldiers from the Volunteer Army and two soldiers from the People's Army walked in with one person.

"This is Major General Lawrence Kaiser, commander of the 2nd Meibu Division." "This is Major General William Dean, commander of the 24th Meibu Division." Volunteer soldiers introduced each other to the two.

In fact, there is no need to introduce, although the two friends were not very close before, but they met each other.

One People's Army soldier put down a basket of food, another People's Army soldier put down a chair, and then walked out with the volunteer soldiers.

"...when? (When?)" To get rid of the awkward silence, Dean asked.

"On the evening of June 12st."

Then the two major generals fell silent again in the room.

"Don't think too much about it. It's safe here. The village I live in is safe. It hasn't been hit by an air raid yet. ... Where were you the last three weeks?" Dean asked.

"I didn't think too much about it. I was in another POW camp, and this afternoon they said they were going to arrange a party. They sent me here.  …I thought you were dead until the other day." Kay After Ze finished speaking, he also felt that it was time to eat something, so he reached out and picked up a trough Leba from the basket.

"Party... Really nice party for two. Oh, this bread is specially sent from Harbin, very authentic Russian bread."

Kaiser nodded, took a bite of the bread, and chewed slowly.

……

Beijing.

The charcoal stove was burning vigorously, and the hot pot soup was boiling in the copper stove.

Tang Hua picked up a vegetable leaf from the pot, dipped it in the ingredients and snorted, and sucked it into his mouth while blowing.Zhou Xuan, who was sitting across from him, didn't look too good at eating. The mutton rolls and beef rolls were all thrown off the pot with a big chopstick.

In the last few days of 1950, Tang Hua began to make a summary of the year-end inventory of the Electronic Information Industry Bureau.Since we are all writing and writing, we can move the report writing back home.

There is still no annual two sessions, and the Government Council has not yet started to make an annual government work report.The Bureau of Electronics and Information Industry will make a partial report first, mainly because Tang Hua himself has to summarize and see which direction to focus on next year.

These annual summaries of personnel and finance were given to Zhou Kuan, who then made summaries of technology and planning and construction.

However, even if some miscellaneous tasks are assigned, Tang Hua has a lot of reports to do. The work of the Electronics Industry Bureau/Electronic Information Industry Bureau this year is relatively complicated.Listed by the final product, roughly the following things were done:

1. In February 1950, the T2 general-purpose computer was put into production. By the end of the year, more than 50 units were exported, earning 90 million rubles, and more than 5000 units were sold to domestic units.

In February and March, guided bombs were put into production, and the Penghu Battle cut off half of Chiang Kai-shek's navy.

3. The transistorized modification of the P-3 air-to-air warning radar is a small adjustment, that is, the air-to-air detection range has increased by 50%.

In April and May, the remote control TV was put into production, and it was opened for sale in August. By December, it sold about three or four hundred sets, and earned back...about $4+.

In May and June, the walkie-talkies were put into production, and more than 5 units were produced by December. The troops received rave reviews, and received a lot of thank-you letters and pennants.Consider selling to the Soviet Union next year.

In June and September, the TC6 supercomputer was completed.The effect is that from October to the present, the tactical radio stations of the US military are all running naked.

There are still several projects under development, such as T51 computer, TC51 supercomputer, Hongqi-1 anti-aircraft missile, two types of air-to-ship missiles, night vision devices... There is also a basic research and development project-laser.

There is a lot to write about the construction and adjustment of factories, and there is also a lot to write about the construction of scientific research institutes.

By the way, it seems that the matter of supercomputing and cracking cannot be written in the departmental work report of the Government Affairs Council. This level of confidentiality is too high, and it can only be replaced by "so-and-so".

"...Tang Hua, the charity performance is about to start." Zhou Xuan said.

"Huh? Is it the one I said? Great. What day is it, let's go together."

"December 12st, at night."

Since the Volunteers recaptured Pyongyang in December, the news about the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ resistance to U.S. aggression and aid to Korea has not been concealed. All public newspapers, magazines, and broadcasts in China have reported it, and people from all walks of life in the democratic parties have responded positively.Tang Hua thought of the donation of airplanes for the charity performance of Xiangyu Drama Club half a year later, so he planned this idea in advance.Tang Hua asked Zhou Xuan to post a suggestion in the newspaper, but what he didn't expect was that the Xiangyu Drama Club was the first to respond again. ...However, only the Xiangyu Drama Club responded in the name of the whole club.

"New China has been established, and I am no longer a lowly actor. I want to protect our country, I want to love this country, the people of the whole country are up to donate enthusiastically, and I will also donate my performance proceeds." The newspaper responded In the tofu block, Chang Xiangyu said so.

Chang Xiangyu's family went bankrupt when she was young, and she had to beg for food with her mother. At the age of 9, he took a class to learn opera and apprenticed to a teacher. He appeared on stage at the age of 10, and starred in six "West Chamber" at the age of 13. He is a rare Henan opera genius.However, the people in her village thought it a disgrace to have actresses in the clan, and often bullied them, saying that even if they died, they would not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave.Angry, she changed her surname from Zhang to Chang. In 1943, Chang Xiangyu was forced to commit suicide by swallowing gold by the stationmaster of the Baoji Station of the Military Command, but fortunately she was rescued and returned. In 1947, her husband, Chen Xianzhang, director of Henan opera, was arrested by the Kuomintang and spent all his family property to rescue him.

It's almost the 31st now, and the Xiangyu Drama Club has arrived in Beijing, but Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan haven't had time to see these two legends.But it doesn't matter, you will definitely be able to see it on the day of the charity performance.

"If the 31st ends early, we will go to Tsinghua University, where there will be another big performance..." Tang Hua tricked Zhou Xuan.

When the door was opened again, Dean and Kaiser felt that the air in the room was almost frozen in embarrassment.

"General Walker." "General..."

Walker had a thick cast on his right hand and hung it on his chest with a bandage, but the rest of his body looked fine, and he walked into the cell by himself.Seeing the two subordinates standing up to greet him, Walker didn't say much, nodded his head and said "yes", and then sat down first.

"General, I didn't expect the three of us to meet here... Although I shouldn't care about these things, I still want to ask, what happened to the Eighth Army?" Dean asked.

"The 8th Army? Ha, for now, it should be okay, except for the loss of Lawrence's division and Lawrence himself." Walker looked up at the sky, "The 8th Army is very good, the only bad thing is me, the unlucky ghost."

"Including my 24th Division, is it safe now?"

"Of course the 24th division still exists, otherwise, John Church would be sitting here too, and we could play bridge together. Oh, John Church is your successor to the division commander.  … In Qingchuanjiang, yes I ordered John Church to retreat. With the retreat of the 24th and 25th Divisions, the 2nd Division lost any hope of relief, so I sent Lawrence here." Walker is now extremely depressed, and there is nothing to say scruples.

"So I..." Kaiser pointed to himself.

"My order is necessary." Walker said, "The Chinese have more than one roundabout encirclement. There is a second roundabout outside the three places. I found it. I feel that the 8th Army will be surrounded again from the whole. , so I withdrew."

"Before I came here, the Chinese soldiers said that I would only stay here for one day and continue to transfer to China tomorrow. Is this the same for you, Lawrence?"

"Yes, I think, probably the captives captured by the Chinese army were sent back to China, and the North Korean captives stayed in North Korea."

The replay of the second battle on the western front ended like this, and the three of them didn't want to say another word.

"Stop wasting time on stupid battle replays. Eat some." Walker rummaged through the basket, found some cucumbers, and handed one to Dean and Lawrence Kaiser.
