Half a day later, the whole street was in a mess.

The crowd at the scene had almost dispersed, and the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Robert Parker, rushed to the scene, staring at the tragic scene on Queen's Road in a daze.

No one in the parade fired or carried guns, but the police opened fire and shot down more than a dozen people, some of whom were seriously injured, which is probably not good.

Most of the citizens who participated in the parade dispersed, but there were dozens of people around the parade people who fell on the street. On top of a fallen man, ready to be carried away.

"Guys, the police beat someone, can you all see who did it?"

"See it clearly! I remember the name and alarm number!"

"The cops they shot, do you remember?"

"Also remember!"

Pan Hannian, deputy director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, and two comrades from the branch were on the scene. They brought large and small bags of medicine and first-aid kits, greeted the backbone of the parade, and treated the wounded on the spot.

Pan Hannian: "Guys, the blood debt owed by the British to us will definitely be repaid in the future! But now, it is important to save people first. The Xinhua News Agency car is already coming here. We will take the wounded away in a while. Get in the car."

……

"Pan! You are enough! Why do I see you every time there is a riot!"

Hong Kong Governor Sir Black's car was parked tens of meters away. Police Commissioner Yi Fu came to inspect with the Hong Kong Governor.

Pan Hannian raised the palm of his left hand as a signal to wait a moment, and continued to treat a wounded man. He cleaned the wound, wrapped gauze around his shoulder, and finally cut off the end of the cloth. Then he stood up, handed the scissors to the assistant beside him, and said slowly:

"Mr. Yifu, I didn't see the riots, I only saw kind-hearted Hong Kong people expressing their own views. Moreover, I am the deputy director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. As a media person, I appear in news hotspots, It's perfectly reasonable."

Yifu: "I know what kind of organization your Hong Kong branch is, so don't say those high-sounding words."

Pan Hannian: "Isn't it a branch of Xinhua News Agency? Besides doing what Xinhua News Agency should do, what else can we do? Let's talk about today. I saw so many good citizens being violently beaten and shot by the police, and we had to take care of them. It's not illegal."

Yifu: "...Don't think we don't know what bad things you guys did behind your back. I know what you used to do."

Pan Hannian smiled: "Sir, I haven't done that kind of thing for a long time. I'm already in my 50s. How can an old man in his 50s have bad thoughts."

……

Sihao Hotel.

Of course, Hong Kong Governor Robert Parker would not be as angry as the Commissioner of Police. The next day, he hosted a banquet for Huang Zuomei, the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, at the Sihao Hotel.

"Mr. Huang, we may be talking about politics at such an occasion," Blackie said. "The United States has been a little... nervous about China's recent policy shift. Unfortunately, it's not good. It's not just me. I don’t think so, and Buckingham Palace also thinks so. To use an old Chinese saying, if you are wronged, you should find trouble with the United States. The United Kingdom is not involved in this incident.”

Huang Zuomei: "Mr. Bai Liji, don't have excessive associations. We have never instigated anything. Everything you said, including yesterday's action, is a spontaneous action. It is the cry of Hong Kong people from the bottom of their hearts. the sound of."

Bai Liji smiled helplessly: "Mr. Huang, we can't accuse you of inciting riots, but we all understand the reasons. China Resources is constantly moving companies and factories back to China. The way you move back is to uproot the entire factory Moving together, only a few technical backbones were taken away, leaving a large number of unemployed civilians in Hong Kong, which deliberately added difficulties to us."

Huang Zuomei: "China Resources is a company registered in Hong Kong, which is not under our control. How they choose their business model is their own business."

"No matter what you say, you will never admit it," Bai Liji showed off, "All the machinery and equipment in the China Resources factory can be bought in the market and can be shipped to Guangzhou, but they do not choose to buy new equipment and build new ones in mainland China." factories, but the factories in Hong Kong are going to be dismantled. . . . can we talk about terms?"

Huang Zuomei replied with her eyes:?

Bai Liji: "We can even give China Resources a loan, so that you have the funds to replicate factories in the mainland that are exactly the same as Hong Kong, and we can also help you solve everything we can, but please stop this behavior, it is a disaster for Hong Kong .”

……

The troubles in Hong Kong were not resolved so quickly, because Huang Zuomei's last sentence was: "Some things cannot be helped by Mr. Hong Kong Governor. Why don't we ask our respective superiors for instructions again."

In October 1961, a high-level delegation set off from Beijing to Moscow, this time led by the Premier and Vice Chairman Liu, to attend the 10nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

"The situation is a bit bad, Vice Chairman Liu...maybe a little too straightforward."

Tang Hua was listening to the chief accountant talk about some things at the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Tang Hua: "Isn't there a quarrel where there are some disagreements?"

Chief accountant: "The views are definitely different now, but we can hide it. The Soviet Union loved to do that, and we do it like this. It's not a big deal."

"Khrushchev's speech at the opening ceremony released the "Communist Builders' Code of Ethics" and announced that the Soviet Union would build communism within 20 years. After he finished speaking, Vice Chairman Liu expressed his disagreement, saying that you To artificially set a deadline is to put the subjective above the objective, which is not good."

"The Prime Minister also said that at the enlarged meeting of the Politburo not long ago, the general line formulated was 'in a relatively long period of time, China will be built into a developed socialist industrial country, with industry and technology reaching the world's advanced level, and reducing the income gap between urban and rural areas. , to increase the per capita means of production in the countryside' without setting a timetable for when to enter communism."

The chief accountant stretched out his spoon, scooped some fried peanuts from the plate on the dining table, counted them, and poured 13 peanuts into his own bowl. He could only eat so many peanuts for a meal, as his wife stipulated.

"In the group discussion after the meeting, we said this. Then, some members of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee said that your Chinese line is somewhat right-leaning. What right-leaning, we were still left-leaning before the Beidaihe meeting."

"So we said that building socialism is one thing. Seeking truth from facts, if the grain production is reduced, it is a reduction. Our data this year is also very ugly, but we never thought of data falsification. Well, Khrushchev jumped up now. "

"Actually, we really don't need to be so persistent in instilling our ideas into the minds of the Soviets."

After hearing so much from the chief accountant, Tang Hua roughly figured out the situation.It seems that the two sides have some differences, but the differences are not fundamental. This is certainly not the level of the Sino-Soviet debate.

"I think it's okay," Tang Hua said, "A little bit of disagreement is definitely unavoidable, but it can all be passed. Even if Khrushchev is not happy, so many ministers of the Council of Ministers will pull Let Khrushchev tell him not to be too angry, the current industrial and agricultural diplomacy between China and the Soviet Union are complementary and closely related, and cannot be separated at all.”

Chief accountant: "It should be like this. There are a few rounds of debate at the top, and what should be done next."

Tang Hua: "The speech at the opening ceremony, the discussion among the friendly parties below, these things are over, and it will be over. Khrushchev still wants to remove Stalin's body from Lenin's tomb and bury it separately. This matter will eventually pass away. of."

The chief accountant jumped up: "What?! Khrushchev really wants to do this?"

Chapter 57, Stop Nuclear Testing and Sell You Food

The 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union ended anyway.At the opening ceremony, Khrushchev solemnly announced that "by 1980, communism will be established in the Soviet Union", and the resolution adopted at the closing ceremony repeated this meaning: the last sentence of the resolution is "The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union solemnly declares that the Soviet people of this generation will live in the Under Communism!"

Others... there are very few changes in the personnel of the living, but there are changes in the dead.Stalin's body was actually removed from Lenin's Mausoleum and sent back to Georgia.

On the closing day, Khrushchev also announced that the Soviet Union would start construction of the largest hydropower station in Europe - the Volgograd Hydropower Station, with a total installed capacity of 270 million kilowatts.

What seems wrong?It's Volgograd.The city of Stalingrad was renamed this year.

In the Battle of Stalingrad, 90% of the buildings in the city were destroyed. The German army’s surprise bombing in the first 4 days had more than 4 civilian casualties. At the most difficult time, the Soviet army had only the last few supports on the west bank of the Volga River. At that point, there was only one tank left in the three tank brigades.

The final result was that the Sixth Army and hundreds of thousands of slave troops were wiped out, and the Eastern Front and even the entire World War II ushered in a turning point.

Khrushchev may have his reasons for criticizing Stalin, but there has always been a huge controversy about changing the name of Stalingrad. In 1985, Chernenko was almost able to change his original name back, but the Central Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was short of voting by a few votes.

However, in the Russian era, the name of Stalingrad "partially returned".Now the city changes its name to "Stalingrad" six days a year and "Volgograd" the rest of the time.

After learning that there was a quarrel at the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the chairman quickly sent a telegram to the embassy in the Soviet Union and forwarded it to the Premier and Vice Chairman Liu: "Don't argue with them on this matter, the meaning of the argument is not great."

On the Soviet side, when Khrushchev wanted to publish an article on Pravda, he was immediately stopped by Shelepin, Brezhnev, Sherest, and Mikoyan.

"If there is a crack in our relationship with China, the United States will take advantage of it, which is not good for the socialist camp."

"We also have 12 ongoing defense equipment cooperation projects with China, and 4 of them are top-secret strategic projects, which are related to our competition with the US military technology. If it is canceled or delayed, we cannot afford to lose."

"The trade volume between China and the Soviet Union is now very large. The exchange of goods between us and China is very useful to the operation of the Soviet economy, and this aspect cannot be affected..."
