Chapter 378 The Political Commissar Did a Good Job
These rebellious red Chinese, far less tame than Chongqing, have become a decisive force in China. Whether these red Chinese will fall to the Soviet Union is a question for Americans to consider. Although reports from China
, indicating that these red Chinese are staunch nationalists and do not trust the Soviets that much, and are even quite wary of them.
But for U.S. senior officials, the problem cannot be solved with just a few reports. Americans don’t want to have any influence on post-war China unless the European affairs happen again in the Far East. However, they have already been affected by World War II.
The huge results have stimulated some Americans who are nowhere to be found in the southeast, northwest, and obviously do not want to lose their say in future Chinese affairs.
On the one hand, these two atomic bombs urged the Japanese to surrender and speed up the war process. But on the other hand, they also warned those red Chinese not to provoke the United States, let alone try to challenge the Americans. Especially those in the Northeast, keep your hands away
It's too long, so you have to know how to stop it in moderation.
It's just that the Americans didn't know that when they dropped two atomic bombs in succession to teach the Japanese, Yang Zhen, who was far away in Northeast China, had been paying close attention and calculating. After all the camera data was sent back to Northeast China
, copies were immediately made and sent to Peiping and the secret base respectively.
These data, as well as the large amount of data and samples collected by the Anti-Alliance Forces who landed in Japan immediately after the war, played a great role in the development of China's atomic bomb. Americans who looked down on the Chinese too much, for
Their contempt paid a price.
When the chairman saw the film materials of the explosion of the two atomic bombs, as well as the reconnaissance photos of the tragic images of Hiroshima and Nagasaki taken by anti-Japanese bombers after the explosion, he almost smoked one after another. He was silent for a long time and seemed to be talking to himself.
He seemed to be saying to Yang Zhen beside him: "Is this atomic bomb really so powerful?"
Regarding the chairman's words, Yang Zhen thought for a while and finally did not answer. But the chairman then said: "How far has your progress reached? This thing is a paper tiger, but it cannot be lived without. A beggar must also have a dog-beating stick in his hand.
Let alone us?"
After the Chairman's question, Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said: "Chairman, we have completed the first step. The nuclear reactor has been started and is currently operating well. However, because we did not have qualified uranium ore in our hands, we had to rely on refining more uranium ore.
Difficult uranium placer deposits have caused certain difficulties in refining uranium materials."
"Furthermore, the power consumption caused by uranium enrichment is too great, which puts too much pressure on the original power supply in Northeast China. We can only carry out corresponding research while building. But now we have found qualified electricity in Rehe.
Uranium ore resources have also been found in Jilin and Benxi."
"Although the scale of the mine is not large and the quality of the ore is not high enough, it can fully meet the needs. Moreover, the difficulty of processing and refining is much simpler than that of uranium sand mines. However, it is still in the construction period of the mine.
It will be difficult to mine on a large scale for a while.”
"We are trying every means to speed up the construction and rely on existing conditions as much as possible to mine part of the ore as soon as possible. The uranium enrichment plant is also seizing the time to build, but considering the pressure on funds and equipment, the scale is still relatively small.
limited."
"The successful commissioning of the nuclear reactor and its safe operation have given us a good start in our subsequent research and development work. According to our judgment, if there are no major problems, we can develop the U.S. weapon in Hiroshima in at most five years.
Atomic bombs used.”
Although Yang Zhen didn't know why the chairman asked himself, because all the work is currently under the leadership of the first political commissar of the military region. All progress will be reported to the central government as soon as possible. Logically speaking, the chairman is very concerned about the progress of this matter.
You should be able to tell me everything, there is no need to ask yourself.
But since the chairman asked, Yang Zhen made another report to the chairman. The report was quite specific, including the progress of research and development. However, in fact, after the research and development work reached this point, it had reached a bottleneck.
Compared with solving the principle difficulties, the research on nuclear materials that has been carried out at present is the most difficult.
Especially when the foundation of the metallurgical industry is still very weak, the research and development of nuclear materials is the biggest difficulty. However, these difficulties are not insurmountable in Yang Zhen's view. Especially since all construction of the Qiqiharte Steel Plant has been completed,
Now that the Shenyang smelter has resumed production, the options are much wider.
After listening to Yang Zhen's report, the chairman took a long puff of cigarette and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, the central government has great expectations for you in this matter. You still have to take the lead in some matters, and the final decision-making power still rests with you.
You are here to do it. It is not allowed to let go of the boss's affairs. Since you have made this start, you must do this well."
After the chairman said these words, Yang Zhen realized that the chairman was dissatisfied with him for putting too little effort into the research and development of high-tech weapons after taking office as the first political commissar, and even basically not paying much attention. After thinking about this, Yang Zhen
He smiled and said: "Chairman, the political commissar did a great job."
Yang Zhen's answer, the chairman looked at his expression, lit another cigarette and said: "You, don't always think so much. Both the central government and I have high trust in you. You are appointed by the central government
The first secretary of the Northeast Bureau and the general person in charge appointed by the central government."
"You should seize what you should seize. Don't always be so forward-looking and hesitant. As long as you do the right thing, the central government will give you the support you should have. You, you are amazingly bold on some issues, and on some issues you are like a little girl."
Just like the old lady, you are not allowed to do this."
Yang Zhen smiled at the chairman's disguised criticism and said: "Chairman, there is a specialization in skills. I am a very courageous person, but I am a bit high-handed and short-sighted. If I take too much care, I will be a bit clumsy. I am not the only one who has to do everything myself.
It’s a bad thing, but it’s definitely not a good thing. A person’s energy is still limited after all. Having everything in hand will actually affect your work.”
"Establishing a strict discipline and strictly implementing it, using discipline to restrain people, is much better than me having to take care of everything. The political commissar has studied abroad for many years, and is not the kind of person with a narrow vision. His knowledge is also broad enough.
"Having a political commissar take charge of this work, coupled with the assistance of cadres who have cultivated a strict sense of discipline for many years, I think it will be much better than doing it myself."
"Chairman, this is not about looking forward and backward, but I really don't have that much energy. When it comes to the economy and people's livelihood, the top leaders of the government are better than me. When it comes to political work and high technology, the political commissar is more than capable. In these aspects, I only have the direction.
That’s it. It’s better to let someone else do it who is more suitable than me to intervene in everything but not be proficient in anything and make a mess.”
Yang Zhen's answer made the chairman slightly stunned, but he nodded slightly. The chairman listened to Yang Zhen's words, but did not give any comments. Looking at the chairman who was deep in thought, Yang
Zhen didn’t say anything more. Some things become a problem if you talk too much about them. It’s the best choice to stop talking.
Regarding the central government's request for Yang Zhen's opinion on whether North Korea should form a government, Yang Zhen made it clear that he would obey the central government's command. The North Korean issue is an international issue, and all policies are determined by the central government. Regarding the former Korean Independence Alliance, which has now returned to North Korea,
, it is better for the central government to decide what to do next.
As for the central government's request to transfer Korean cadres in the Anti-Japanese Alliance and return all Korean cadres to work in North Korea, Yang Zhen also chose to support it. However, Yang Zhen also reported to the central government that the Soviets were taking frequent actions on the Korean issue and hoped that the central government could give them certain support.
Be alert and watch out for Soviet intervention.
After Yang Zhen finished talking to the chairman, he did not stay too much in Peiping and flew directly to North Korea that night. After returning to North Korea, that is, immediately after the second atomic bomb was exploded in Nagasaki, Yang Zhen called the station
North Korea's Second Paratrooper Division, as well as all transport aircraft groups and naval fleets, as well as all troops, issued first-level combat readiness orders, and each unit began to secretly assemble toward the ports controlled by the South Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance.
At the same time as the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded, the Americans also dropped a large number of leaflets on the Japanese mainland, telling the Japanese that the Americans had this stuff. If they persisted in resisting, the Americans would continue to carry out similar bombings on the Japanese mainland. This time
The Americans' intimidation tactics finally achieved the results they wanted.
On August 14, when the last wave of U.S. bombers had just ended its air raid on Japan. When the anti-Japanese bombers were still circling over the west coast of Japan, dropping a large number of high-explosive aerial bombs on various defensive positions of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen was in the Soviet Union.
Li Mingfeng gave the signal to start the operation.
Although he is in North Korea at the moment, he has been paying close attention to the situation in Europe. After giving Li Mingfeng the signal to complete the action, Yang Zhen has been paying attention to his actions. Until August 15, the day Japan announced its surrender, the following
After receiving the signal that everything was going well for Li Mingfeng, who had escaped the pursuit of the Soviet army and crossed the Danish front line, Yang Zhen felt slightly relieved.
The rest depends on whether Li Mingfeng can successfully open this time difference. As for the technical capabilities of the personnel sent, Yang Zhen is still confident that they can meet the needs. If they do not have this ability, the Soviets will also
We will not leave so many ships to them to operate and maintain.
Yang Zhen was not too worried about the pursuit of the Soviet Navy and Air Force. The large ships had been abducted, and the remaining speedboats could not pursue these ships. As for the Soviet Air Force, Yang Zhen had nothing to worry about. Those with short legs
Attack aircraft and fighter jets cannot cover very far.
As for the Tu-2 and Pe-2 bombers with a slightly larger range, by the time they reacted, Li Mingfeng and the others had already entered the protective circle of the US military aviation stationed in Western Europe. Although the war in Asia is still very lively at the moment, the Cold War in Europe has begun.
Slowly falling. The United States and the Soviet Union, which had increasingly sharp conflicts over the handling of Germany and Eastern Europe, did not get along well at this time.
The alliances that existed during the war had long since vanished with the end of the European battlefield. All that was left was constant intrigues and sharp political conflicts. Although this is not a good thing for Europeans.
No one wants a new war trigger to emerge before a world war is over.
However, the current situation in Europe is quite favorable for the anti-alliance personnel participating in this operation. The Americans will not make trouble in this matter. But whether the voyage can be smooth along the way, Yang Zhen is uncertain
It was quite worrying. Because at this time, all the anti-alliance personnel stationed in the Soviet Union, except for the nails left secretly in Europe, had all withdrawn to the Northeast.
If the Americans really do not actively or passively cooperate, then the fuel supply along the way will really become the most troublesome thing. In addition to this problem, there are also the entire Baltic Sea and the North Sea, which have not yet been cleared of mines.
