Chapter 162: A Trip to the United States

Li Dawei visited Britain and France in a whirlwind for the next war against India. During the summit talks between Li Dawei and the British and French leaders, they talked about China's core interests, the counterinsurgency of Tibetan provinces, and India's ambitions for expansion. Indispensable on his gift list to the British and French leaders was a copy of a carefully cut 16-millimeter documentary on China's March 15 hydrogen bomb explosion experiment in the Lop Nur region of western China. Li Dawei famously said: Briefings on major events and countries that are permanent members of the UN Security Council in order to strengthen communication and understanding between major powers and the transparency of China's national defense policy. When the British Prime Minister, the French President and other politicians came out of the screening room in shock and trembling, they all understood that this oriental giant who had been humiliated by them in every way was angry. There is a naked nuclear threat against them. The only purpose of Li Dawei, the special assistant to the Chinese foreign minister, for his visit was to "you former colonizers, don't meddle with your affairs and don't mess with me, otherwise you will violate China's core interests and the consequences will be extremely serious." How serious it is to watch a movie to go.

Li Dawei knew that in order to maximize the effectiveness of nuclear weapons, such representation was necessary. Both Britain and France have taken particular notice of China's rare Oriental hardline. Deep in the hearts of the leaders of Britain and France, there is a kind of saying that they must not suffer a big loss because they are on the wrong side again, as they did in the Korean War. It is better to stay away from China, a rising power. It's none of their business, don't touch their core interests, the sky is falling, and the United States is on top of it.

In the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Eisenhower frowned, looking at a thick report. Since the successful explosion of China's hydrogen bomb, he has been convening important meetings of all parties day and night, urging the United States to weaponize its thermonuclear device as soon as possible.

"At present, China has a strong military strength and the ability to fight a modern war with any country in the vicinity of Asia, and China is absolutely ahead of all countries and regions in the world in the field of military science and technology, and its degree of advancement is unpredictable. China doesn't need any country's technology, all they need is time. They will grow stronger and stronger as time goes on.

China's development in the military, science and technology, and economic fields is beyond the norm and by leaps and bounds, and its military and economic potential is immeasurable. And all of this is extremely mysterious, because there is a supernatural power that exists."

Eisenhower's brow furrowed even tighter, and he picked up the red and blue pencil and drew an emphasis mark underneath the sentence, followed by a large question mark. He went on to look down, "China's military has the following characteristics:

1. At present, China has a regular army of about 2.5 million people, and the Chinese squadron has strong actual combat experience and a complete set of distinctive tactics with reading ability. Officers above the rank of lieutenant are almost always veterans of the war before the Korean War. After 2-4 years of training in professional military academies, they have high military quality, combat skills, combat agility, rapid response, and strict discipline. The Chinese Armed Forces are one of the countries with the largest number of arms in the world, and China has developed all arms of the armed forces in an all-round way. Through a large-scale military exercise once a year, the various arms of the squadron have achieved tacit cooperation, mutual adjustment, mutual support, and assistance through complete communication facilities and meticulous action plans, which are fully suited to the needs of future wars.

Second, China has the most mysterious weapons and equipment in the world. They have created a hydrogen bomb in such a short period of time, which makes the world feel terrible, and we are puzzled. Although most of China's high-tech personnel are more or less involved in China's national defense construction, the most typical is the Shenyang 'Silicon Valley' in northeast China, where China's top scientific and technological personnel from all walks of life are concentrated, and almost all of them directly or indirectly participate in China's national defense construction. Billions of dollars are spent annually on the transfer of various patented technologies obtained around the world in this region alone. But it still makes us feel inexplicable and incomprehensible, why such an extraordinary phenomenon occurs in China, where the industrial level is extremely low and nearly 80% of the country is illiterate, all of a sudden. Just as we still cannot understand the November 1950 attack on an aircraft carrier in North Korea's East and West Gulfs. We have been studying that incident without coming up with a logical answer, and now we can be sure that it must be related to the phenomenon of China's Silicon Valley. But there is a phenomenon that cannot but attract our attention, and they have some military experts who are engaged in cutting-edge scientific and technological work. These experts are under the strictest protection, and their stations and places of work are also inaccessible to needles and water. Eisenhower drew again with a red and blue pencil under this passage.

"We know very little about China's weapon surnames, and even very little about them, and China's political axes never show off China's weapons to the world, let alone introduce the surnames of China's weapons to the world.

With regard to China's nuclear weapons, we believe that they have long mastered the technology and processes for the manufacture of atomic and hydrogen bombs, as well as the rocket technology for carrying these nuclear devices, and that the nuclear weapons test conducted in western China on 15 March was only a comprehensive experiment of the combination of all these thermonuclear devices and delivery vehicles that China possessed, and by no means just the beginning of the research on thermonuclear devices, as some people have imagined. We estimate that China currently has at least 10-15 nuclear warheads, as well as rockets to carry them. Now China is the kingdom of missiles, China has the most advanced missiles in the world at present, no matter in terms of range, error range, or explosive power, China is the big brother of the missile family, (this point can be proved by the attack on the aircraft carrier in the east and west bays of North Korea in November 1950) We estimate that China has a variety of missiles of various functions, and in terms of technology, they are much more advanced than the United States and the Soviet Union, more mature, and much more numerically than us. This gives them the ability to strike at long range, giving them an overwhelming advantage in a war in the foreseeable period of the future.

From the perspective of China's national defense policy, their purpose is very clear, that is, 'when China's core interests are seriously infringed upon, and when China's political axe and people's efforts to use peaceful means and conventional armed force cannot stop such violations, China will use nuclear armed forces to stop such violations of China's core interests.'" According to Li Dawei, the representative of the Chinese delegation to the United Nations, and the then US Assistant Secretary of State Rost explained their 'core interests' in 1950, "China's core interests include China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the geo-strategic space is not threatened, the legitimate rights and interests of the state, and the national dignity is not violated or threatened."Chinese 'By which he speaks of the interests of the State, he means equal political and economic rights in international affairs'"

Seeing this, Eisenhower drew a circle around Li Dawei's name, put down this top-secret report on "Discussion on the Possible Names of Strikes on China's Nuclear Facilities" compiled by US Secretary of State Dulles, Secretary of Defense McElroy, and others, took off his glasses, rubbed his astringent eyes, leaned his head back on the chair, held the back of his head with both hands, and closed his eyes in contemplation. Li Dawei, in three days, this difficult guy will come to the United States. How is Vice President Nixon preparing? He picked up the inside phone in the White House and dialed his deputy, Nixon.

On April 3, 1956, in his capacity as special assistant to the Chinese foreign minister, Li Dawei once again set foot on the land of the continental United States and carried out his whirlwind journey.

At 11:30 p.m., Li Dawei's special plane arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington. US Vice President Richard Nixon and others came to the airport to greet Li Dawei in an unusual manner, which shows that the United States attaches great importance to Li Dawei's visit to the United States.

Li Dawei looked at Nixon, who opened the door to Sino-US relations in the future, and looked a little excited, and said: "Mr. Vice President, I feel very honored to come to your great country again, and I am very happy to meet you. Li Dawei thought in his heart that this future president of the United States should be cultivated well.

Nixon said enthusiastically: "Mr. Special Assistant, you are very welcome to pay a friendly visit to our country again. ”

In the welcoming procession, Li Dawei met his old friend, US Ambassador to China and former Assistant Secretary of State Rost. Former U.S. Secretary of State Acheson, after stepping down from the position of secretary of state, he returned to his old business and set up his law firm, which has a good business and undertakes many legal affairs for Chinese companies. and George Brown, former director of the U.S. Asia Division. Feder, who is now the deputy general manager of the largest import and export company in the eastern United States, is in charge of importing and exporting business to China, and the business is like a fish in water, and these people have a good personal relationship with Li Dawei, except for Acheson, who can meet once or twice a year in Yan Kyoto.

Li Dawei delivered a speech at the airport. He pointed out: "China and the United States are thousands of miles apart, but the vast Pacific Ocean has not blocked the friendship between the two peoples. Over the past three years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, with the joint efforts of both sides, China-US relations have generally maintained a good momentum of development. The cooperation between the two countries in a wide range of fields has yielded fruitful results, and the communication and coordination in major international and regional affairs have been fruitful, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples and playing an important role in promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large. At present, the international situation is undergoing profound and complex changes. The common interests of China and the United States are expanding, and the prospects for cooperation between the two sides are even broader. He is looking forward to having an in-depth exchange of views with Vice President Nixon and US Secretary of State Mr. Dulles on Sino-US relations and major international and regional issues of common concern, and to having extensive contacts with friends from all walks of life in the United States to enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples.

Accompanied by Vice President Nixon, Li Dawei drove to the Belair Hotel, which is located in the center of Washington and is known as the "state guesthouse" of the United States, which is not open to the public.

In the ordinary-looking four-story Irish-style building facing the street, Mr. Li and Mr. Nixon had their first meeting.

Li Dawei first reviewed the course that China and the United States have gone through in recent years, and believed that the overall situation is good, but there are some discordant factors, and when Deng Feng talked about the Tibetan provincial issue, he specifically mentioned the CIA's support activities for the [***] forces, and came up with a large amount of evidence. Li Dawei said to Nixon very harshly: "I don't understand very much what the United States wants to do this. We were enemies in the past. We have huge differences, and we can understand your little actions. But now we have common interests that go beyond those differences. What brings us together is certainly not the way a friendly country should behave. We cannot but feel very sorry. This incomprehensible behavior of the US political axe has touched China's core interests, and I don't want to see that happen again. ”

Vice President Nixon, who was famous for [***] at that time, silently listened to Li Dawei's accusation, and also felt that this matter was somewhat unreasonable, and said: "Mr. Li Dawei, frankly speaking, my position on [***] is completely unacceptable to you. But I still don't want that to happen again. Although Nixon knew that anyone would do such a dirty and disgusting thing tacitly between major powers, it was still embarrassing for people to be caught.

Li Dawei felt that Nixon's attitude of admitting his mistake was still very sincere, this kind of thing was to the point, and it would be over after being caught, Li Dawei knew that Deng Feng in India had destroyed the US CIA stronghold, killed three CIA agents, and gave them the lesson they deserved.

Li Dawei then made a profound exposition on the issue of Tibetan Province and Sino-Indian relations: "India hopes that Tibet Province will maintain the backward theocratic slavery system for a long time and become a buffer state between China and India. This is their dominant ideology, and it is at the center of the Sino-Indian debate, which cannot be allowed by the Chinese political axe, and one country arbitrarily interferes with the right of another country's central political axe to reform an area within its own territory. The armed rebellion in the West was launched by the Tibetan rebel group at home, instigated by the Indian authorities internationally, and of course with the participation of your CIA. Their illusions of a "buffer state" were shattered. In this way, the Indian authorities are set against us. Today, we want to make the "Tibetan Province issue" clear to you, so that you American politicians can know what they did not know in the past and the duplicitous names of the Indian authorities. ”
