The major event of the change of equity of TWA Airlines has not attracted much attention among the public. At this time, the Americans were nervously staring at the top of their heads, for fear that the Soviet Union would throw some terrifying weapons on it.

Over the past week, the Dow Jones has fallen one after another, and has fallen by 1o% of the average index. This is a reflection of how panicked the American people are, and how much fear hangs over their heads all the time.

No matter how popular the people were, however, Eisenhower remained indifferent at this time.

Mr. President of the United States, in the face of this Soviet satellite, in the face of all changes, during these days, Eisenhower looked at the photographs taken by the "Lady Jiaolong" (the famous U2 reconnaissance plane), and with his previous military experience and the lessons of deception, he thought that the matter was not as strict as the adviser said, and he tried to restore the self-confidence of the Americans.

He held a brief press conference and said: "The achievements of the USSR do not cause us apprehension and fear, not at all. ”

"They're just sending a little ball to the sky, and soon they're going to send more."

It's a pity that the American people don't buy his account, they still keep looking up at the sky, they still talk a lot, and they still have a hard time swallowing when eating.

What the president hated the most was that Kennedy's kid jumped up and down, fanning the flames. He fashioned himself as a young man, likening Eisenhower to a rigid old antique, an old rich man in the countryside who knew nothing about high technology.

Kennedy's beautiful trick not only focused the news media on him, but also made him popular and won the hearts of the people.

In addition to Kennedy, there is one guy whose remarks are also remarkable. That was Alex, who was interviewed by reporters after testifying in court.

In the course of the interview, a reporter mentioned the Soviet Union's satellite launch, to which Alex scoffed.

He said with a look of disdain: "Soon our American rockets will be launched into space, and they will definitely be much stronger than the Soviet Union." The Soviets just threw a small ball of iron into space. That's useless, it's not powerful. Even if it falls, it won't kill anyone, and the satellite will burn up in the atmosphere. ”

The reporter listened to this refreshing remark in amazement, and he asked strangely: "Now our US government is not ready to devote itself to space research, and Mr. President has not even said anything like this." Did you get the news from any source? ”

Alex smiled mysteriously, and said, "I didn't say government secrets, don't scribble!" I'm just saying. Judging by the satellites launched by the USSR, it was a rudimentary and crude thing. It's not high-tech at all! ”

At this time, the news opinions all thought that the Soviet Union was one step ahead of the United States, but I didn't expect Alex to belittle the other party's feat so much, so reporters wrote one after another: "American genius Alex thinks that the satellite launched by the Soviet Union is not worth mentioning!" ”

This perception is very different from the mainstream view, and has attracted ridicule and rebuke from many people, who think that Alex is young and vigorous. I don't know how thick the sky is.

"Who does he think he is? Did the kidnappers break his brain? ”

"Genius? Phew! He's an idiot! The most advanced weapons of the Soviet Union have been able to reach the top of our heads, and he is still disdainful! ”

"This kind of rhetoric also deserves to be published? What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant! ”

All in all, the illusion of the space technology gap between the United States and the Soviet Union blinded the Americans for a while, and the American people began to worry about the sky. They have lost their normal judgment, and no matter what others say, they can't dispel the fear in their hearts.

And at the same time. The Soviet Union also realized like an enlightenment: "It turns out that throwing something in the sky can make Americans so afraid!" Can make so much political capital! ”

When Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev saw that the United States was nervous, he was very happy and triumphant. He decided that the Soviet Union had to have something to run in space. So the Soviets stepped up their space investment, continued to launch rockets, and strived to maintain the world's first place in all space records.

On November 3, 1957, just a month after the Soviet satellite incident, the Soviet Union intensified while Eisenhower remained indifferent. The second artificial earth satellite, Sputnik 2, has been launched.

Not only did the satellite increase in mass this time, but it also had an unbelievable dog crammed into the satellite.

The poor puppy, named "Leyka", died in space 4 days later. Obviously, it's just an innocent test subject. The ultimate goal of the Soviet Union in sending puppies into space was to send people into space, which was a challenging idea. In addition, various intelligence suggests that the Soviet Union may also land on the moon and Mars in June. And to leave the United States embarrassed on the planet.

The Soviet Union was the first to shoot artificial satellites and satellite dogs, which caused the United States, which prides itself as the number one scientific and technological power, to begin to suffer.

At that time, this was a major event that became more and more strict the more you thought about it, and it was so big that it affected the capitalist world. Too big to understand. How can you let a small ball or a dog fly over your head? If this ball or puppy were a nuclear weapon, it would not be an ordinary danger!

For this, White House advisers are increasingly worried. The Soviet Union's superiority in space was aggressive, and it seemed time for President Eisenhower to react.

Subsequent indications also suggest that the Soviet Union is not so simple as fooling, and perhaps the White House advisers are right that the Soviet Union has a more ambitious conspiracy.

Eisenhower, who was a general, finally made up his mind to fight back against the Soviet Union's space superiority. His attitude quickly took an 18o degree turn. He concluded that the Soviet Sputnik incident was the second "Pearl Harbor incident" and not the second foolishness, and that the United States must move another "Pacific War" to regain the initiative!

With determination, Eisenhower ordered the US Navy, which was a little famous in the study of "artificial satellites" at that time, to shoot an artificial satellite for everyone to see. The White House then announced the news to the world, however, the US Navy was dumbfounded because they were not ready.

The lobbyists sent by Hughes saw an opportunity, so they ran to tell the president, to the congressmen, to the U.S. Navy, that Star Technology has the ability to launch rocket satellites, but now the only thing is money and so on.

Eisenhower was not interested in this, the congressmen were skeptical, and the US Navy was dismissive of this.

Eisenhower's reaction was: "I want to launch a satellite immediately, and if you can't, get out of the way!" ”

The reaction of the lawmakers was: "What? Is Interstellar Technology's rocket satellite technology more powerful than the government's research department? This ......"

The U.S. Navy's response was more direct: "Phew! Get out of here! Don't get in the way! ”

However, the US Navy also rushed to the shelves, and at the urging of the president, they had to use small rockets with a thrust of only 3% of the thrust of Soviet rockets in the shortest possible time. Launching a satellite of special significance to the United States -- it weighed 9.8 kilograms as advertised, but in fact it weighed only 1.36 kilograms, like a grapefruit......

Of course, this kind of action did not alleviate the people's worries, and after seeing the news, they said: "People's satellites are much heavier than ours!" ”

"The USSR has been able to send a dog up! What about us? A grapefruit? ”

"The next step for the Soviets is to fly into space! The United States is still at the starting line! ”

The news media also ridiculed the government, arguing that such an outcome proved that American rocket technology really lagged behind the Soviet Union. It's like two masters meeting each other, and one of them is extremely powerful. It's okay if the other master doesn't do it, but as soon as he does it, he is now a parallel import, and his moves are very weak.

Khrushchev also ridiculed the Americans for being a test jump of fleas, which could not jump into space at all. He also said that American satellites are as small as pebbles and are not worth mentioning at all.

The US Navy's second launch was only an experiment. It is used to verify that their own set of techniques does not work, and they are not very confident. However, in front of the people, they boasted a lot of money, making the people think that this time they really wanted to make a big deal and show the Soviet Union that they were ambitious.

Of course, there are also media outlets on the side of the government, who report that the United States is trying to drop an artificial moon into space. Didn't the Soviet Union shoot artificial stars, then let's have the moonlight. An American moon.

That's what the U.S. Navy thinks and does. If it did, it would have been an anti-Soviet opportunity, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

On December 6, 1957, the U.S. Navy failed to launch the "Pioneer" missile, and they ignited their rocket in full view of everyone, only to explode like a Chinese "firecracker".

Those present recalled: "After the rocket was fired. It was as if the gates of hell were opened, and the flying fireworks erupted from the side of the rocket, which hesitated for a moment and began to tremble, and then it poured and exploded in front of our suspicion and shock. ”

The moon did not rise in the United States, and the stars of the Soviet Union still shone in the sky. The news of the failure of the satellite launch spread quickly, and people all over the world knew about this scandal in the United States. They laughed and ridiculed. Even the American media followed suit.

The London Herald said: "Oh, a satellite that has fallen violently. ”

The London Daily Express said: "Americans call it the Fault Star. ”

The Louisville Courier said: "A successful shot may be heard by the whole world, but sometimes the duds are louder." ”

The Ottawa Daily said: "According to experts, the rocket did not fly off the ground because it 'lost thrust'. This is the wording to divert attention. Losing thrust is a problem that Western democracies have been suffering from. ”

The Denver Post said: "The American people are uneasy, skeptical, and distressed by scientific research in the United States. ”

The New York Herald Tribune said, "Maybe a grapefruit or something will fly in the sky, and the people of Washington will be quiet." ”

The Paris Magazine said: "Look! There seems to be a worm on the grapefruit. ”

The headline in the Canadian newspaper news that day was "America's 'Moon' Doesn't Work"!

Senator Linden? Johnson lamented, "Oh my God. How long? Oh, how long will it take for us to catch up with the two satellites of the USSR? ”

As for the hated Soviet representatives to the UN, they were beaming, and they asked the United States at the UN "Would you like to accept Soviet assistance?" The USSR had plans to provide technical assistance to backward countries. ”

"Well! Don't be shy, we Soviets are still very generous! ”

"Maybe the United States really needs some help, otherwise their satellites will never be able to fly out of the atmosphere!"

"Maybe someone's moon is too big to crush a rocket? Ha ha! ”

Humiliation such as these leaves American leaders, especially the President of the United States, feeling humiliated. At this time, they suddenly remembered Interstellar Technologies, and remembered the rocket expert von Bryan who worked hard there. Also reminded of Alex's words in the newspaper, the government began to think about making some kind of change.

However, the influence of the navy is indeed very large, and they failed once, but still received a lot of money from the government. They plan to continue shooting, and they have to occupy this space cake.

In the US ** Army, the strength of the Navy has always been much greater than that of the Sixth Army, and the contradiction between the Navy and the Sixth Army is very great. This is a dispute arising from interests and has nothing to do with other issues.

When the naval rocket failed, the 6th Army felt that the opportunity had come, and they also wanted to carry out a launch. Yes, the 6th Army also has a rocket research department, but the scale is not comparable to that of the Navy, and of course its strength is even worse. When the top tried to get a shot at the top, the people below were too busy to die, and many researchers worked all day and night just to get the rocket into the air before the navy.

However, when the leaders of the Sixth Army saw the negative impact of the Navy's defeat, they wisely and secretly did not even report it to the relevant departments, but only regarded it as a regular rocket launch exercise.

In fact, there are quite a few research institutes engaged in rockets in the United States, and only in the military, the Navy and the 6th Army are engaged in their own rocket research. They each divided up the rocket experts captured from Germany, and moved back all the materials and equipment, and then applied to the higher authorities to get a rocket project.

With the project, there is naturally money to allocate it, don't think that ** is only available in China, and ** abroad is a good way to do it. And it's done pretty well, so that no one else can find anything wrong.

Well, the money has been allocated, and as for whether it has been used for rocket research and what has been produced, it is not known. Just look at the rocket research department of von Bryan in the 6th Army, worrying about tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Not all of that money was definitely invested in research, and the final destination is unclear, it is a military secret, and no one can find out.

Seeing this situation, the US Air Force also clamored for rockets, but there were no air-to-air rocket missiles at that time, otherwise they would have really been able to get them.

As for other departments, there are many and miscellaneous departments, and not only government agencies are researching this kind of high-tech technology, but even private enterprises are also engaged in it. In particular, those arms dealers' enterprises have government funds and subsidies for doing this, and this kind of money is not taken for nothing.
