The U.S. government publicly announced its recognition of China's sovereignty over Outer Mongolia and the Far East, which was a great thing even in this war-torn era. When Liu Yimin was pondering the possible impact of this matter, news came that made him ecstatic
: Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Weichang, Wu Jianxiong, Peng Hengwu, Yuan Jialiu and others rushed back from the United States and Europe after going through untold hardships.
At this time, the Japanese army's heavy troop groups on both the north and south fronts had been mobilized and were rushing towards the Changchun area like crazy. The military situation on the front line was very hot. Luo Yan's reconnaissance battalion and the intelligence analysis department directly led by Qian Zhuangfei kept reporting to Liu Yimin the progress of the Japanese army.
Despite the situation, Liu Yimin still set aside time to meet with Qian Xuesen, Wu Jianxiong and others who arrived in Changchun, and welcomed the scientists who had braved the war and returned to serve the motherland.
Qian Xuesen and Wu Jianxiong both arrived in India first, and then took a U.S. military transport plane to fly over the Everest route back to China. At this time, because the U.S. Army’s Ground 20 Air Force was stationed in the Northeast, the U.S. military had special transport planes to transport supplies to the Northeast. Qian Xuesen and Wu
Jianxiong and the others did not stop in Chongqing. Instead, they took a short rest at the airport and flew directly to Xi'an and then to Northeast China.
In the war years, everything was kept simple. Liu Yimin also prepared very carefully and went to the airport to greet him. After being picked up back to the headquarters, he personally checked whether the bedding in the guest room was clean and arranged for everyone to rest. Early the next morning, Liu Yimin led
Qian Xuesen and Wu Jianxiong watched the morning exercises of the guard regiment. After going back to wash up, Liu Yimin, Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, Luo Ronghuan, Xiang Ying, Peng Zhen, Ye Ting and other major leaders of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance accompanied everyone to have breakfast.
.
Qian Xuesen saw that the famous anti-Japanese general Liu Yimin, who was very powerful to the enemy, drank corn glutinous rice paste and ate corn flour glutinous rice flour while letting them eat bread and milk.
Liu Yimin asked Li Xiaoshuai to give each of them a whole grain breakfast to satisfy the requirements of these high-level intellectuals who had lived abroad in the United States for several years.
After Qian Xuesen, Wu Jianxiong and others finished eating, Liu Yimin said: "Our army's food is the best among the entire Chinese anti-Japanese army. Mainly because we captured and captured all by ourselves and relied on the Japanese army's supplies to solve the army's supply problem. In addition, we captured and captured the troops with one hand.
Farming, doing it yourself, and having enough food and clothing. When we were in Shaanxi and Shandong, each unit of our army had a farm. They could be self-sufficient in food and vegetables. The soldiers' rations were also very reasonable in thickness, and they could often eat some meat products.
But now the situation has changed a bit. Our army is marching into Mongolia and the Far East. Those places are all alpine and cold areas. The long winter, coupled with the crazy looting by the Japanese and puppet troops, has left many farmers and herdsmen without food and clothing. I
The army is both a combat team and a work team. It helps poor farmers and herdsmen overcome difficulties. It is urgent to resume production. The army's rations have to be reduced to help farmers and herdsmen in Mongolia and the Far East. Of course, don't worry, everyone, the Northeast will soon
All of them must be liberated. The liberated Northeastern base areas will have a solid industrial foundation and food production will be no problem. Everyone can just engage in scientific research with peace of mind. Logistics support can definitely meet everyone's needs."
Wu Jianxiong was concerned about her nuclear physics laboratory. As soon as his job was released, he stood up and said: "General Liu, I want to get started immediately. I wonder if what you said in the telegram to provide me with a research laboratory can be fulfilled?"
Liu Yimin admired Wu Jianxiong's character the most. He glanced at Wu Jianxiong and Yuan Jialiu and said: "Dr. Wu, Dr. Yuan, you are able to risk your lives to return to China to support the Anti-Japanese War. You are worthy of being our good sons and daughters of China! Good! Good! Good!
!”
After saying hello three times in a row, Liu Yimin motioned Wu Jianxiong to sit down, and he also sat down at the dining table. His eyes glanced at these scientific giants who have shone brightly in later history, and his heart surged, and for a moment, he felt like the world was changing.
The feeling of my heart dancing.
After calming down for a while, Liu Yimin said: "The current situation on the world's anti-fascist battlefields is generally not very good. Fascist Germany, fascist Japan, and fascist Italy are all still in an offensive state. However, this is only temporary. Soviet Germany
On the battlefield, the Soviet army won the battle to defend Moscow and thwarted the German offensive. On the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army captured Southeast Asia, but had to send troops back to support the Northeast battlefield. The offensive was over. Next, the US military would launch a counterattack.
The good days of the Japanese Southern Army are coming to an end. On the Chinese battlefield, our army has now eliminated the main force of the Kwantung Army. Yesterday, it eliminated the Kwantung Army flying group by ambush and seized air supremacy in the Northeast, Mongolia, and Far East. Although the Japanese army in the East
We pieced together and added elite troops to the Kwantung Army, which greatly restored the Kwantung Army's strength. However, this is all at the end of the war. I am confident that the Kwantung Army will be completely eliminated in the next few months. When we eliminate the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invaders will
The largest and most elite strategic group has been wiped out. All China's anti-Japanese armies will quickly launch a comprehensive counterattack, the Japanese invaders will be annihilated, and the great anti-Japanese war will end with the complete victory of the Chinese people!"
After analyzing and summarizing the situation on the world's anti-fascist battlefields and China's Anti-Japanese War battlefields in very simple terms, Liu Yimin returned to the subject and said eloquently: "One of the reasons for inviting everyone back this time is that as descendants of Yan and Huang, you have a responsibility to fight the war, and it is your duty to return home to join the war.
Fulfill the responsibilities, obligations, and duties of a Chinese. The second reason is to invite everyone to come back and build our own launch vehicles and nuclear weapons. In the future, we can also peacefully develop nuclear energy, use nuclear energy to generate electricity, and provide powerful energy for the construction of the motherland.
power."
Although Liu Yimin has long been famous all over the world, although Qian Xuesen, Wu Jianxiong and others have thought countless times that someone who can marry a doctor from a prestigious American university like Ni Hua will never be illiterate.
They already knew that Liu Yimin knew what they had learned, but Liu Yimin's words still shocked them. They never expected that Liu Yimin actually said that we would develop our own launch vehicles, nuclear weapons, and peacefully develop nuclear energy!
Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, Luo Ronghuan and Xiang Ying did not understand these things and had never heard of them. Xiang Ying couldn't help but asked: "No. 1, what is a launch vehicle? What is a nuclear weapon? Where do you know these things?
?”
Liu Yimin smiled awkwardly: "Comrade Xiang Ying, you confused me. To be honest, I don't understand what launch vehicles and nuclear weapons are specifically. I have to ask these scientists. However, everything in the world is the same.
Tong Baili Tong. My understanding is that a launch vehicle is a special, high-tech transportation tool that can transport nuclear weapons or other things at supersonic speeds to places that are inconvenient to be delivered by planes, trains, and ships.
or to a destination that cannot be delivered quickly. For example, if we want to bomb Japan now, cannons cannot deliver the shells, and it is impossible for trains to deliver cannons to the Japanese island across the sea. Ships can reach it, but they can only reach it.
At ports and coasts, the attack range of naval guns is limited. Planes can drop bombs to the Japanese mainland, but they have to prevent Japanese ground firepower and fighter jets, which is very troublesome. If we have launch vehicles, we can launch them in Changchun.
The rocket crossed the ocean and dropped the bomb directly and accurately into the Japanese Imperial Palace. Emperor Hirohito did not know who killed him until he died! As for nuclear weapons, I understand it is a kind of bomb, but this kind of bomb must use explosive energy
A very large thing similar to a bomb, after a nuclear weapon explodes, it may be able to destroy half or a city. Think about it, if we had launch vehicles and nuclear weapons, who would fight with the little devils on the bayonet!
As long as one or a few are thrown at Japan, Emperor Hirohito will be pissed off and declare unconditional surrender!"
Liu Yimin's words sounded just like Hu Yun's, but Qian Xuesen actually stood up and said that General Liu was right. A launch vehicle is a delivery tool. With this tool, not only can nuclear weapons be delivered to enemy territory, but also
Send objects into space.
After hearing this, Xiang Ying thought for a while and suddenly said: "Isn't this the principle of our rocket launcher? You know, the rocket launcher firing rockets is different from the general cannon firing shells. The rockets have their own engines and rely on
The engine propels the flight.”
At this point, Qian Xuesen became more energetic and immediately asked: "What? You have developed a rocket launcher? Do rockets rely on engines to propel them into flight?"
Strictly speaking, these are all military secrets. At this time, only the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance and the Soviet Red Army had developed rocket launchers. The Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance's rocket launchers were slightly more advanced than the Soviet Red Army's Katyusha rocket launchers. However, Qian Xuesen and others
Those who are able to risk their lives and return to China from abroad will become our army, the leader and master of our country's cutting-edge science in the future. The secrets of our army's advanced weapons are no secret to them.
After Xiang Ying finished speaking, he suddenly felt that what he said was not necessarily appropriate, and immediately stopped saying any more.
Liu Yimin said with a smile: "Dr. Qian, our army has indeed developed and equipped a ground fire support weapon called a rocket launcher, which was successfully developed by our arsenal. This weapon has a large lethality and is naturally very powerful.
Therefore, it was developed because there is an American engineer named Bill Clemen in our arsenal. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He designed the rocket engine. Another key talent is the director of our arsenal.
Comrade Zeng Zhao also returned from studying in the United States, worked in the Hanyang Arsenal, and later joined our army. Of course, I came up with the idea of ​​developing rocket launchers. The reason for such an idea was forced out by the war.
In this war, what we are fighting for is command, the combat effectiveness of the troops, the courage to move forward, the courage to sacrifice, and the courage to defeat the enemy, but it is also about weapons and equipment. Think about it, take a rifle with polished rifling, and go
Fighting against the Japanese aircraft carriers and aircraft, no matter how brave you are, it won’t work! So I say, science and technology are combat effectiveness!”
