Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

It's just because the time is too tight, I'm afraid I have to fly there and come back.

"I went to the Soviet Union to give a report on the latest development of computer technology in the past two years, mainly to promote and publicize the performance and wide range of uses of our computers in the Soviet Union. Now many scientific research units and engineering design departments in the Soviet Union have accepted the T50 computer. But with the industrial scale of the Soviet Union, there are still many scientific research and engineering units that can be developed as potential markets. In addition, the Soviet government departments, this time the T51 computer is more multi-functional. In addition to scientific calculations, it can also take care of many daily data processing. If the Soviet government can accept the use of computers this time, the sales of T51 computers may increase several times. This means that in 1951, we could earn [-] to [-] million rubles from the Soviet Union just by exporting computers and ancillary equipment.” The Prime Minister's Office, Tang Hua said.

The Prime Minister nodded, "It is necessary to go. But it is best not to fly."

"I agree, but the meeting time set by the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union is very close, and the railway is too slow. If Ambassador Luo Shen can be approved, it may be possible to postpone the meeting by two or three weeks through negotiation."

Tang Hua and the Prime Minister had the same opinion and deeply agreed with the regulation that "senior cadres should try not to fly when traveling".In this era, airplanes are still not reliable enough. When they fly and fall, the whole show is over.

However, Luo Shen's coordination was ineffective. It was okay to postpone the meeting date by a few days, but if it was postponed by three weeks, it could not be arranged.

"In order to ensure the safety of Academician Tang's trip this time, the Soviet Air Force specially dispatched the best pilots and special planes used by the Central Committee members. There will be absolutely no accidents."

The prime minister then relayed the news to Tang Hua. "In this case, Tang Hua, you and the two professors, Zhao and Qian, can go there by plane."

……

Tang Hua also thought about it, the train was on the way back and forth for two months, and it was a waste of time.It's not bad to fly there to catch up with the meeting time, and fly back just in time to celebrate the Spring Festival in Beijing.

But before leaving, a lot of things have to be arranged.

private matter...

First send a telegram to Shanghai to let Little Six and Zhou Xuan's former assistant, Ms. Qin, go to Hong Kong.

Then send telegrams to the management of several companies in Hong Kong to arrange changes.

China Resources doesn't need to worry about it, but besides China Resources, Tang Hua has also registered several companies in Hong Kong.

Tang Hua distributed part of the equity to the management in Hong Kong, and then distributed 10% to Xiaoliuzi or Miss Qin.These two each serve as special directors of the three companies and do not participate in the daily operations of the companies, but they are fully authorized to represent Tang Hua's own shareholder power.

Next is business.

After negotiating with the Prime Minister, several companies invested by China Resources in Dalian were separated from China Resources.Companies in Dalian have to adjust their production, as many raw materials are inconvenient to import from overseas.

Hong Kong China Resources should also shrink its business scope, divest sensitive businesses, and focus on safe operations.

Guangzhou Huawei's TV production has been cut in half.

The reason for doing these things is the same thing: Batumi is going to attack China.

The specific time was last month, December 1950, 12.Because of the disastrous defeat of the United Nations Army in the second battle, Batumi angrily passed the clauses that specifically sanctioned China and prepared to establish a China Committee.

If we say that in October 1949, except for the arms embargo against China (the British allowed you to take advantage of the loopholes to buy arms secretly), there were basically no embargo clauses for other trade.

In February 1950, after the establishment of the Sino-Soviet Alliance, trade sanctions began, embargoing advanced industrial equipment and technical equipment.

In December 1950, there was an almost total trade embargo.

From a dialectical point of view, the more Western countries tighten the embargo, the more they show that they are now desperate and want to use all means to save their face.This shows that China really hurts them.

And right now China isn't particularly worried about the trade embargo.Of course there are difficulties, but they can always be overcome.

Moreover, the current difficulties are not as many as in history...

In addition, even if it becomes a comprehensive and severe embargo, our foreign exchange window has not been completely cut off.If the estimate is correct, Ye Shuai in Guangzhou has already started various plans...

Chapter 114, The Difficult Fourth Battle

On January 1th, Li Qiwei finally stabilized the front line and stopped the continuous retreat of the United Nations Army for more than a month.

Li Qiwei took office for more than half a month, and his main job was to restore the morale of the United Nations Army.

Li Qiwei found that at this time, the top officers of the United Nations Army, all the army commanders and division commanders had lost confidence in re-attacking, thinking that no matter what method of attack they would fail.

The first move to restore morale, then, was the dismissal of a bunch of senior officers.

Frank Milburn, commander of I Corps, was dismissed and replaced by John O'Neill.

Ninth Corps Commander John Coulter was also fired and replaced by William Hodge.

Edward Almond, the commander of the 8th Army who was not under the 10th Army, also needed to be fired.This person must be changed. MacArthur also said in Tokyo that the defeat at Changjin Lake had a lot to do with Almond's command error.What MacArthur said is indeed reasonable. The sleepwalking of the Meibu 7th Division on the border and the aggressive advance of Changjin Lake are all Almond's fault.When Badawi sleepwalked to the border between China and North Korea, Almond himself took a photo on the border by plane, which must be a solid hammer.

Almond soon suffered from pneumonia, and Ridgway informed him that he must report to the hospital immediately and hand over the command of the 10th Army.

Angry Almond immediately drove to Seoul and met Allen, chief of staff of the 8th Army.Seeing that Almond was shocked, Allen quickly put on a mask: "Why are you still here? You are suffering from pneumonia now."

"Don't lie anymore, I don't have pneumonia at all!" Almond roared angrily.

Allen couldn't explain to Almond, he could only tell him: "You have pneumonia as an order."

As a result, the commander of the 10th Army was replaced by Clovis Byers.

Under Li Qiwei's iron fist, all the commanders of the three U.S. armies were replaced.The teachers below were hardly spared either.

Badawi, the commander of the 7th Division of Meibu, was withdrawn.This major general, who served as the head of Chiang Kai-shek's military advisory group, has had a rough official career since he left China.

The 24th division of Meibu has changed its commander again. The last time it was changed was because William Dean was captured. William Church, who replaced Dean, served as the commander for five months, but was removed by Li Qiwei and replaced by Blackshire Bryan .

There are also the first division of the United States and the 25th division of the United States...

Two of the three Marine Regiments of the First Marine Division disappeared, and the remaining 2000 people boarded the ship from Xingnan and went directly to Tokyo to recover their blood.Of the 2000 people from the First Marine Division who escaped, there were 9000 wounded, and nearly [-] of the remaining [-] people were not suitable for continued service, and went back to recuperate for treatment of mental illness.Now the First Marine Division is waiting for new recruits from the local training camp.Whether it will be invested in North Korea after the supplement is completed is also a big problem-the war in North Korea has attracted all the US troops in the Far East. Japan has not had a single US military division in the past month or so. If the Soviet Union came to do something, the US and Japan would have to surrender.A US military division must be placed there to guard it.

Meibu Division 2 is gone, but it should be rebuilt.However, neither Busan nor Tokyo can revive a completely annihilated U.S. Army division, so one of the revived National Guard divisions in the United States must be renamed the 2nd U.S. Army Division.

But in general, Li Qiwei thinks that he can return to the Pusan ​​defense circle without being tortoise.

He moved the headquarters from the city of Pyeongtaek to a field tent, and streamlined the personnel of the headquarters. In this "advance command post", there are only him, two staff officers, and some service personnel.All the other staff officers and officers of the 8th Army were sent to the front line by him to understand the situation and deal with affairs.

"You must do what I want. If you don't follow my order, you will go to a court-martial." Li Qiwei said to his staff with a dark face.

"Also, since we can't get accurate information about the Chinese army now, I have to attack to find out where the enemy is."

From January 1th to January 10th, Li Qiwei asked the first-line troops to move closer to each other and fight steadily instead of the previous practice of dividing troops and advancing aggressively.

During the day, the U.S. military used a small mechanized unit of tanks to maintain contact with the Chinese and North Korean troops on the road, and used heavy rain of bullets to ensure a safe distance of about 40 meters between the tank and the 500th anti-tank unit of the Volunteer Army. Retract and stick to the first-line troops of the Chinese and North Korean troops.From noon to dusk, retreat 20-25 kilometers at a time to avoid the front line being interspersed.At dawn the next day, we fought back under the advantage of the air and artillery fire, and we could usually go back a few kilometers to more than ten kilometers.

In this way, by January 1, the Volunteer Army's offensive began to slow down, and Li Qiwei's estimate was accurate.The supply line of the Volunteer Army ended in the north of Seoul, and it was extremely difficult to continue to transport supplies to the south. The Volunteer Army relied on the ammunition and dry food it carried, and could only continue to attack for about 15 days, or 5 days with both offense and defense.After the ammunition and dry food reached the cordon, the volunteers could not continue to attack.

The Volunteer Army summed up Li Qiwei's routine as "magnetic tactics".

1月17日，李奇微集中了联合国军5个美军师、10个南朝鲜师、2个英国旅和1个土耳其旅、一个空降团及其全部炮兵、坦克兵和航空兵，地面部队共23万余人的兵力，在200公里的正面，缓缓往前反击。

Although the US military officers and soldiers still have some doubts, Li Qiwei is confident.He has found the weakness of the Volunteer Army's infantry tactics. Even before the arrival of reinforcements, with the help of five US divisions, he can gradually restore some South Korean land.After the 5th and 40th American Bu divisions arrived in South Korea from the mainland of the United States, he held 45 U.S. divisions and could launch a larger counterattack.
