Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

When several people looked up to the sky, Tang Hua continued: "If the Air Force and Hainan Airlines can have this kind of aircraft in a few years, no matter whether it is imported or imitated, it will be equivalent to changing the shotgun. This thing is much easier to use than Tu-4 and Tu-2. too much."

But if the history has not changed, this group of Il-28s will crash one and damage one when they complete the flight and return to the airport...

cough.

"I really saw it. It really is the finale equipment of the artillery array." Luo Shunchu saw the M-46 and couldn't help but marvel, "The big brother of the Soviet Union is also interesting enough, and the weapons they just equipped can also be used to aid China."

"In the beginning, the ministers and committee members of the Soviet Union did not intend to give us the M-46 during the negotiations. Later, Chief of Staff Xu found Stalin directly, and the problem was solved." Tang Hua said, "The Korean War was a testing ground for new weapons. , From the end of World War II to the 50s, the best way to test the combat capabilities of the new generation of weapons developed was to put them on the battlefield. In addition to testing which new equipment was successful and which new equipment was problematic, there were also It can provide practical evidence for how to develop the next generation of weapons and equipment, and where the development direction is going....The Korean War, a highly intense local war against major powers, is the best new weapon testing ground. We said this to the Soviet comrades Several times, and now their higher-ups are gradually agreeing with this view."

Moscow Children's Palace.

Tang Hua and the negotiating delegation made a special trip to the Children's Palace, mainly to visit the Science Museum.The delegation's train from Moscow to Leningrad will not start immediately, and now there is more than half a day to visit freely.

The computer area is the busiest corner of the Science Museum. Groups of dolls come here to visit, study, and do a few small calculations under the guidance of their teachers. After a whole class, they leave satisfied.

"Students, please be quiet." Teacher Natalia's body weighing more than 230 kg was blocked in front of the monitor, and the dozen or so children who could not see the computer temporarily stopped their chirping voices and quieted down. "Students, let's sit in a semicircle in front of the monitor, so that every child can see the screen. Don't sit in the seat in front of the monitor, and each of us will have a share in a while, and we will take turns to operate..."

"Minister Tang, I heard that your Electronic Information Industry Bureau is now the only industrial unit that can export industrial products in large quantities, and the export volume may become the first in the country this year." Luo Shunchu said.

Lin Taizhen: "And I only exported less than 200 computers and earned so much. Now it is said that Tang Hua's three computers can replace a blast furnace."

Tang Hua: "Haha... Minister Lin... This legend is a bit outrageous. Let's put it this way, it is true that three computers can almost replace a blast furnace, but the steel plant does not only have blast furnaces. We also have to import coke ovens. Things are worth two computers. The price of a torpedo car is almost the same as two computers, as well as a rolling mill. The electric furnace is even more expensive. It takes five computers to exchange for one electric furnace...but the export of computers and electronic equipment can be exchanged for five dollars a year. Steel equipment, it's true."

Luo Shunchu: "Most of the naval equipment cannot be self-made in China now, but it is urgent to use it, so I have to buy a large number of spot goods with foreign exchange. I hope that the basic industry will develop faster in the future. If industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, machining and power manufacturing are established in China, then We built the ship ourselves. As long as it is built by ourselves, the navy will also have poorer performance.”

Tang Hua: "Shanghai's Shipbuilding Industry Bureau has actually made rapid progress. It has been able to repair and deeply renovate thousand-ton frigates and coastal defense ships. Therefore, in the Navy's five-year plan, the most important project that will never be cut is ships. The introduction of repair facilities..."

A few people chatted and watched Soviet children learning computers from a distance, and before they knew it, it was time for a class.The children dispersed, and it was time for lunch and rest.Teacher Natalia sat in front of the computer by herself, looking like she had something to do.After a while, she entered a few commands on the keyboard, and the screen turned into a block interface.

Tang Hua looked at this scene and secretly found a place to laugh.

I don't know if the thirty or forty users who bought the T52 computer in the past few months of this year will also enjoy playing Cubes.

Well, now Tetris has become a base cube.Tang Hua pre-installed the program of the base cube into the computer's memory. Not only that, but also attached it to the back of the manual as a programming example in the computer manual. If it is deleted, it can be copied according to the manual and re-entered into the computer.

"However, I think computer education can start from a young age. If it's just about operation and use, I don't think computers are complicated." Commander Xiao already knows how to use a little computer. Zhou can also learn the basic operation, it is really not too difficult.

"Computers are still relatively expensive," Tang Hua said. "Even in China... they are very expensive. I can only say that it is too difficult for some talented children to have access to computers. It is too difficult to popularize them nationwide."

Commander Xiao: "Yes, the Soviet Union has popularized national education a long time ago, and more than half of our population is illiterate. But like the Soviet Union, it is not bad to put a computer in the children's palace so that children can take a look at it, although it is not Take computer courses, but at least you are no stranger to this thing."

Tang Hua: "Commander Xiao, to tell you the truth, this is not a problem of placing computers, but that Beijing...doesn't have a Children's Palace yet."

……

"Greetings, Comrade Kuznetsov."

Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov, First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union and Commander of the Navy, stood in front of Tang Hua.

When shaking hands with Kuznetsov, Tang Hua also carefully looked at the naval commander.

After being dismissed and imprisoned for the first time, Kuznetsov, who was reinstated last year, has a poker face, no matter whether he shakes hands with Commander Xiao or Tang Hua, there is no expression on his face.

Lao Ku's promotion before World War II can only be described as "rocket". He was born in 1904 and became the captain of a cruiser at the age of 28. This speed is already fast enough.Then Lao Ku caught up with the Spanish Civil War. When aiding Spain, he managed the aid routes and Spanish naval ships well. In 1939, he became the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy. At this time, he was not yet 35 years old.

During World War II, Kuznetsov was also very conscientious. In August 1941, he bombed Berlin. During the war, the Soviet navy was invincible...cough.

He was arrested in 1947, because the Soviet Navy suffered a loss in information exchange with Britain and the United States during World War II. Stalin suspected that the high-level navy deliberately released water.The conclusion of the review was that he was not the main responsible person, and he was released, but his rank was reduced to major general. Miraculously, he became the commander of the navy again in 1951.

Next, Kuznetsov will encounter another hurdle in 1955. Just a few months after he was promoted to admiral, the battleship "Novorossiysk" exploded and sank, and he stepped down again. This time he will be retired directly. .

"Comrade Commander Xiao, I have studied the current threats facing the Chinese Navy and your construction plan these days. I would like to ask a question. The Chinese Navy is currently facing battles in two directions. The first is the Bohai Bay-Yellow Sea and The anti-landing operation on the west coast of North Korea, the second is the operation against Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands may be the starting point of the battle. So, comrades in China, which of these two directions is your priority?"

There were not many polite words on both sides, and after a few back and forth, Kuznetsov got to the point.

Commander Xiao: "Objectively speaking, when the current land front of the United Nations Army and the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces is stabilizing, there is a possibility that the United Nations Army may conduct landing operations on the coastline behind us, but this possibility is more North Korea's east coast, where the coastline is longer, some areas are inconvenient, and there is a long coastline far from the main forces of the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces. On the west coast of North Korea, it is more difficult for the United Nations to conduct amphibious landings here .”

"When there is an effective air defense interception, the army's coastal defense forces can effectively defend the west coast of North Korea, and the navy only needs some torpedo boats to divert at sea to complete the coordination task. In this direction, our construction is actually more focused on defending the Shandong Peninsula and the Bohai Bay is free from U.S. air and sea invasion."

"In short, this direction is indeed not the most important direction of construction, but the direction of Taiwan. Taiwan Island is not far from Hangzhou Bay and the mouth of the Yangtze River. Our Yangtze River Delta and several core cities are now within the bombing radius of the tactical aircraft of the national army and the US military. , Offshore trade and fishing activities have also been severely affected. Now with the help of comrades from the Soviet Union, we have established radar, fighter jets and anti-aircraft gun systems on the southeast coast, plus anti-aircraft missiles, which can defend against the bombing of the US and Jiang forces, but our central However, we still hope to fundamentally solve this problem, liberate Taiwan, and completely eliminate the last stronghold of the Kuomintang reactionaries.”

Commander Xiao explained the situation in a long paragraph, and Kuznetsov nodded, but asked another question:

"It is good to eliminate the last remnants of the Kuomintang. The Soviets did not leave a piece of land to the White Bandit Army during the three-year civil war, which saved all future troubles. But if the purpose of China's operations on the southeast coast is to prevent the US military from using tactical bombers to attack China, Then it is not enough to just liberate Taiwan, at least the Ryukyu Islands must be resolved at the same time, and it can be seized to roughly guarantee the air security along the southeast coast of China. After all, tactical bombers from the Ryukyu Islands can also fly to Shanghai and Suzhou.”

The air fell into silence...

Lao Ku, we thought it would be a big leap forward to attack Taiwan. How about you, want us to abolish the Ryukyu Islands as well?

Forget it, Lao Ku is just a military commander, not Comrade Stalin. This conversation is still a preliminary contact, and the topic is casual and not too formal.

Commander Xiao also thought for a long time before answering: "Attacking the Ryukyu Islands will trigger a larger chain reaction. We have not considered this goal for the time being. And as mentioned in the budget mentioned in our naval construction plan, this sum of money We have done our best to take it out, and we can’t afford a larger navy. If the Ryukyu Islands are to be included in the target, unless the Soviet Navy fights side by side with us.”

Tang Hua: "Although the southeast coast cannot be absolutely safe after capturing Taiwan, the bases of the US military are also hundreds of kilometers away from mainland China. At least they are not so easy to fight over. Another advantage is that after controlling Taiwan, our navy will enter The depths of the Pacific Ocean are more free, for example... large submarines can sail south or north to the east of Taiwan Island, and under the cover of aircraft, they can enter the depths of the Pacific Ocean unnoticed.”

Kuznetsov just casually said that Tang Hua and Commander Xiao thought it was not feasible, so he didn't continue the debate.

"You have purchased a lot of torpedo boat hulls, and you also want us to transfer the technology and construction process of torpedo boats, but you have not asked us to buy 533mm or 450mm torpedoes. Why?"

Tang Hua: "After we purchased the torpedo boat hull, we installed the weapons in the Chinese shipyard. It is true that we do not plan to install torpedoes, but use anti-ship missiles. Just like the anti-ship missiles equipped by the Soviet Navy, China is also developing anti-ship missiles. Compared with Soviet anti-ship missiles, our missiles are smaller, less powerful and less ranged, but can be mounted on torpedo boats."

Kuznetsov: "I have learned some information. But even the Soviet Union's large anti-ship missiles, we found that their ability to damage battleships is relatively limited. What can your small anti-ship missiles be used for?"

Tang Hua: "Intercept the enemy's landing fleet, transport fleet, and merchant fleet. It can also attack targets such as destroyers and frigates. It also has a good effect on light cruisers."

Kuznetsov: "It seems that we need to equip some 533mm torpedoes capable of destroying large warships."

Now the United States only has those few battleships, and they will all be sealed up in a few years.

Thinking so, what Tang Hua said was: "We plan to include heavy torpedoes in the next five-year plan... In addition to the fact that it is more urgent to fight small warships and anti-ship missiles can be put into use sooner. , It is true that heavy torpedoes are too expensive."

"Well, it's useless to talk to me about the budget or loan. Since you insist, it seems that you have your consideration." Kuznetsov said, "Minister Tang Hua and Deputy Director Luo, I will arrange for the Chinese Comrades, visit the four shipyards in Leningrad and Kronstadt, where you can enter the slipway area accompanied by staff, and the staff will answer all questions they know the answer to.”

……

"The shipbuilding industry of the Soviets is too powerful," Luo Shunchu sighed. "We walked a shipyard for a day, and when we entered the factory area, there were warehouses, factories, processing workshops, slipways, docks, and outfitting docks that could not be seen at a glance. You can’t see such a big scene when you go to Shanghai or Dalian. What’s even more frightening is that this is not the largest shipyard in the Soviet Union.”

"Although it is not the largest, it can be regarded as one of the two largest shipbuilding bases in the Soviet Union," Tang Hua said. "Since Peter the Great, Tsarist Russia took the Baltic Sea outlet and Kronstadt, and built ships here. industry, it has been 200 years now.”

"There is still a big gap between us and the established industrial countries."

Tang Hua: "Counting the Westernization Movement, we have been engaged in the modern shipbuilding industry for 80 to 20 years. It is just that the foundation is not good. It was destroyed by war twice in the middle, and it was stocked in the Republic of China in the [-]th century... However, it is indeed very big to say that the gap is very large. Big, but don't scare yourself. As long as we work together and don't take detours, we can create miracles in our hands..."

Luo's book review: "After seeing the big factory, we have to look more carefully at the torpedo boat hunting submarine factory. That is the object we want to learn now."

Tang Hua: "Actually...they are all the same. We need to look at the factories of torpedo boats and submarines, and we also need to look here. What we learn is how the production of modern shipbuilding enterprises is organized, how technology is turned into blueprints, and how blueprints are turned into equipment. In large-scale shipbuilding It is more complicated to organize the production and construction of the factory, but it is better to see the general laws of the modern shipbuilding industry.”
