The Chinese nation has finally won its own liberation after going through hardships, and the Chinese people, who have suffered so much from war and chaos, know that peace is precious. After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the War of Liberation from Taiwan, China won dignity and at the same time won a rare environment for peaceful development for itself. The people of the whole country are in peace and are wholeheartedly carrying out socialist modernization. We are committed to building our country into a peaceful, stable, and prosperous new society, and contributing our wisdom and strength to a better future.

Many comrades of the base, who are now under the strictest protection, have rushed to various parts of the motherland in the name of experts and professors in formations. Together with the people of the whole country on all fronts, they are working silently and selflessly for the strength and prosperity of the motherland. It is not how high the realm of these people who come to the future is completely because the mainstream of this society is consciousness, that is, dedication. Team consciousness, that era is not called a team, it is called a combat collective. To be part of this fighting collective, you have to do this. People firmly believe that under the leadership of the great leader, "the Chinese people have ambition and ability, and will certainly be able to catch up with and surpass the world's advanced level in the near future." "The people of the base come out and want to survive in this era, so they can only adapt to this era and share the same fate with the people of this era.

In this great era, hundreds of millions of military personnel and people throughout the country have united as one and closely rallied around the party Central Committee headed by their own leaders, and the ideas of the great leaders have turned into a tremendous spiritual force for the people of the whole country, and safeguarding the interests of the state and the collective has become a conscious action of the people. China has never had such a great cohesion as it does now, and the Chinese people have never worked so selflessly with such vigor and high morale. This is because they have a common goal in mind, that is, to build their motherland into a powerful socialist country with "four modernizations" in the shortest possible time.

The living standards of the Chinese people have never improved so fast. Over the past few years, under the premise of stable prices and a prosperous market, the peasants have increased their grain output by a large margin due to the large-scale use of improved seeds and chemical fertilizers from later generations, while the state has always kept the purchase price unchanged, thus increasing the peasants' income by 80 percent. With the advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of labor productivity, the wages of workers have increased by 100 percent, and the wages of civil servants and business workers have increased by the slowest but also by 70 percent.

In this great era, no one doubts the superiority of the socialist system, let alone the nonsense of those so-called "elites" who blindly worship the West, causing confusion in the hearts of the people in society and dividing the national pride and cohesion of the Chinese. Dreaming of immigrating to the West without a little skill has caused a large brain drain from China. A woman who doesn't have a little bit of grace wants to marry a foreigner, even if it's a white-haired old man and an old farmer who has no personality. There are no boys and girls who regard singers who have no culture and can only moan and howl a few times without illness as the objects of their admiration. There is no such thing as "Hamei, Ha Yu, Ha Han" ugly.

What can be seen in this great era is a group of outstanding representatives of the real Chinese national intellectuals like Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian, who gave up the superior living and working conditions abroad and resolutely returned to the motherland to participate in the construction of the motherland. Seeing the beauties vying to marry "the loveliest; The children sang the revolutionary war song of the majestic mountains and rivers, advocating heroic soldiers like Dong Cunrui and Ergou who bravely sacrificed their lives for the motherland. Their idols are the volunteers, the combat heroes of the People's Liberation Army and those model workers and scientists who have made great contributions on all fronts.

This may as well make these people from later generations think: In the Tang Dynasty in the era of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, what resounded all over the world was the majestic "King Qin Breaking Array Music", the Tang Dynasty that was aggressive and full of passion and vitality, the national prestige spread far and wide, and all countries came to the Tang Dynasty; In the later period of Tang Xuanzong, what prevailed in the world was the silver "Ni Clothes and Feather Song", which gradually made a good Tang Dynasty go into decline

Peace needs to be guaranteed by force. National unity, territorial integrity, and national security must also be safeguarded by a country's powerful armed forces. In April 1951, the Supreme Commander put forward the directive on streamlining and reorganizing the armed forces, and at the same time put forward the demand for modernizing the armed forces' equipment and building up a strong national defense force. And entrusted the base with drawing up a plan for the modernization of the entire national defense. Accordingly, the base put forward its own opinions on the development of the entire Chinese affairs and drafted a "Confidential Report on the Development of Chinese Affairs".

First, the security situation in Europe is seriously antagonistic to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Organization, and the danger of a new world war remains. And it could erupt at any time, and China should be prepared for this. The security situation in the Asia-Pacific region is generally stable. However, there are still some unstable factors: 1. The Sino-Indian border is 1,700 kilometers long and is divided into three sections: eastern, central and western. There are disputed territories on every stretch of border. Eastern Sector: The disputed territory of 90,000 square kilometers has now been fully occupied by India, and in the middle sector, the disputed territory of 2,100 square kilometers is divided into four parts, and China and India have not yet come into contact with each other. In the western sector, 33,000 square kilometers of disputed territory is mainly China's Aksai Chin region. Now it is under the control of our army. 2. In addition to the Soviet Union's continuous strengthening of support for Outer Mongolia, since 1951, when China made contact with the United States and Europe, it has continuously increased the construction of military bases and fortresses in Outer Mongolia and the Sino-Soviet border areas. Despite the confrontation between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Organization in Europe, the Soviet Union still stationed 700,000 troops in the Far East, and the trend is increasing. All of this has a direct impact on China's national security and threatens China's core interests. China should continue to strengthen the modernization of national defense, correspondingly increase the construction of roads, railways, and airports in this region, and the input of troops, so as to maintain peace and stability in our country.

Second, in its national defense policy, China will undoubtedly put safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity and safeguarding the country's core interests in the first place. Its contents are: 1. Resist aggression, stop armed subversion, and defend national sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security. China must strengthen its ability to use military means to defend its sovereignty and national security. 2. China adheres to a national defense policy of readiness and independence, and does not form alliances with any country or group of countries. Third, the squadron is based on fighting with modern weapons and equipment, but it must inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our army, gradually improve our army's strategic and tactical structure, and make full preparations for recovering all of our country's territory and countering aggression. 3. To persist in taking the road of being a crack soldier, it is necessary to change our army from a quantity-scale model to a quality-and-efficiency model and from a manpower-intensive one to a technology-intensive one, and build our army into a revolutionary, modernized, and regularized people's army with excellent politics, strong military skills, strict discipline, and favorable support. 4. To practice the integration of military and civilian forces and peacetime and wartime, it is necessary to always uphold the idea of the people's war of the supreme chief, strengthen the training level of the reserve forces and the militia, popularize and strengthen national defense education, and improve the wartime mobilization system, so as to form a wartime mobilization system for the whole people, which can be fought and won when called upon.

Then, they made a comprehensive exposition on national defense construction, national defense mobilization and education, national defense spending, national defense industry construction, border defense construction, military legal system building, military training, logistics construction, political and ideological construction, and armed equipment building.

In this "Confidential Report on the Development of Chinese Weapons", the most striking thing is the principle of China's use of nuclear weapons, "China has always advocated the complete prohibition and destruction of nuclear weapons, and is willing to make unremitting efforts to achieve this." But China's political axe should solemnly declare to the world that China's nuclear strategic forces are an important component of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the event that China's core interests are seriously infringed upon, and when the efforts of the Chinese government and the Chinese people cannot stop such violations by peaceful means and the use of conventional armed force, China will use nuclear armed forces to stop such violations of China's core interests. ”

This principle removes those qualifications that have been imposed on later generations, which has greatly strengthened China's nuclear deterrence capability and maximized the usefulness of its nuclear weapons.

On March 15, 1956, at 7:30 a.m., a H-8 of the Strategic Air Force Group of the First Group Army of the Chinese Air Force, under the leadership of the captain Thunder, roared from the 221 base, China's first nuclear weapons production base, on the north side of Qinghai Lake, surrounded by mountains, and hung on the bomb rack a hydrogen bomb codenamed "Chunlei" produced by China in this era, 10 minutes after takeoff, the captain of the ZK001 crew of the Strategic Air Force Group reported to the commander of the nuclear test base: "Comrade commander, Thunder, the captain of the ZK001 crew, reports to you that the ZK001 is also ready for launch, and after 5 minutes, the "Spring Thunder" will enter the launch procedure as planned and request to be launched. ”。 At a distance of 30 kilometers from the bullseye of the "Spring Thunder" explosion test, there was a row of semi-underground observation posts. The commander of the nuclear test base, who was standing in the observation post, reported to Nie Rongzhen, who was standing beside him, that the plane carrying the "Spring Thunder" had taken off from the 221 base airfield, and now asked for a launch, Nie Rongzhen nodded. The commander of the nuclear test base shouted into the microphone: "The test base has made all preparations and agreed to launch as planned." ”

In the cabin of the H-8, people watched nervously, the stopwatch on the automatic launch device was flashing rapidly, the plane shook slightly, and with a "whoosh" sound, the missile flew to the bullseye of the test site with a beautiful tail flame behind.

Over the test site, the sky is clear. All personnel, all in place. People nervously looked at the sky, a missile flew from afar, in the accurate Lop Nur in Xinjiang Province "Spring Thunder" explosion test above the bull's-eye, about 5,000 meters above the ground explosion, the sky instantly appeared a very strong flash, followed by the roar of the sound resounded in the sky, the huge mushroom cloud rose into the blue sky, the air rose a huge mushroom cloud explosion, the huge mushroom cloud kept rolling in the air, the bigger and bigger, the more magnificent.

With a huge roar and the cheers of the people, the sky and the earth of this Gobi Desert resounded. We did it!

This test is fundamentally different from the 1964 nuclear explosion in the future, which was only an experiment with a nuclear explosion device, but this time it was a test of "combining two bombs" with a medium-range missile to deliver a hydrogen bomb, and it was launched over the Lop Nur nuclear explosion test site in Xinjiang Province from a distance of 1,000 kilometers. And directly beyond the experimental stage of the atomic bomb, that is, the first nuclear test achieved by China was a real nuclear weapon, not an explosive device. Because explosive devices are not weapons, they are only used for experiments. Only when explosive devices and delivery vehicles are combined can they form a fighting force and a weapon that can terrify all people in the world. On February 8, 1954, the Americans exploded an experimental hydrogen bomb device on the ground at the Bikini Island test site, and it was not until May 20, 1956 that a B-52 bomber carried it for the first time and dropped a hydrogen bomb over Bikini Island.

The Chinese scientists' proposal to test the hydrogen bomb in place this time is by no means a bold and reckless risky move, and there is a scientific basis for daring to do so; the nuclear "custodians" of the base's 205 reservoir, Qian Xuesen, Deng Jiaxian, and others, have done a large number of computer simulation experiments in advance, and they have the actual samples of the 205 reservoir, which has the practical basis for various nuclear tests in later generations.

When the ZK001 crew of the Strategic Air Force Group of the First Group Army of the Chinese Air Force returned to the base after completing the hydrogen bomb launch mission, Lei Ting, the pilot, the navigator, and all the crew members of the ZK001 crew were still excited and excited for a long time. As China's strategic strike force, they have participated in exercises and training on several occasions. However, this is the first time that a live ammunition has been fired. Although there is no difference between training in peacetime, this time they will be forever recorded in the history books of human society.

The next day, the People's Daily reported on the successful explosion of China's first hydrogen bomb with a front-page headline. On the same page, an article by Deng Feng, a special commentator for the People's Daily, was published: "China's necessary and limited nuclear tests and development of nuclear weapons are solely for the purpose of defense. China's nuclear strategic forces are an important component of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the event that China's core interests are seriously infringed upon, and when the efforts of the Chinese government and the Chinese people cannot stop such violations by peaceful means and the use of conventional armed force, China will use nuclear armed forces to stop such violations of China's core interests. China has always advocated the complete prohibition and destruction of nuclear weapons and is willing to make unremitting efforts to achieve this. The Chinese people and China's political axe will, as always, continue to work together with all peace-loving people and countries in the world to persevere in the struggle for the complete prohibition and complete destruction of nuclear weapons
