Chapter 313: Strength Determines Everything
"Erjun is home!" "Liujun is reunited!" The Chinese people smiled happily, and the people of Xi'an rushed to tell each other
In the exhibition hall of the Forest of Steles Museum in Xi'an, the six horses of Zhaoling are lined up: the fur is purple and red, and the "Sa Lu Purple" that Li Shimin of Tang Taizong took when he defeated Wang Shichong when he pacified the eastern capital seems to endure the pain of the arrow wound on his body, his body retreats slightly, and the horse's head is nestled against the person's chest; Mao Huang curly, black mouth, Li Shimin's demeanor of "fist and hair" when he calmed Liu Heimin is still so calm and composed; The whole body is pure black, the four hooves are snow-white, and the "white hooves black" that Li Shimin rode when he pacified Xue Rengao was full of pride and running like flying; The yellow and white hair given to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty by the Turks, the "special service horse" horsehair that Li Shimin took when he pacified Song Jingang, galloped like the wind; Pale and variegated, the "green horse" that Li Shimin rode when he pacified Dou Jiande was righteous and awe-inspiring, proud of the others; The jujube red horse from Persia is the "Shivachi" that Li Shimin rode when he fought with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, looking up to the sky and screaming, lifelike.
They have once again gathered together to witness the peak of China's rise. This is the real family portrait of the six horses of Zhaoling that those Chinese who have not had a temper at all with the United States in later generations do not even dare to think about it.
In October 1961, the United Nations formulated the Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, and in December of the same year, the Rome Diplomatic Conference adopted the Convention on Looted or Illegally Exported Cultural Relics.
Both conventions explicitly require States Members of the United Nations to take all necessary measures to prohibit and prevent the import of cultural property that has been looted and illicitly exported from other countries, to prevent the illicit transfer of ownership thereof, and to take appropriate measures for the recovery and restitution of such cultural property. It ensures that the country of origin of cultural relics has a permanent statute of limitations for demanding the return of looted cultural relics, and the political axe of the country of origin has the right to recover lost cultural relics at any time.
According to these two international legal documents, under China's exemplary role, one after another countries that have won the reading power have launched an upsurge of demands for the return of their own cultural relics lost by Western colonial countries. For a time, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, and other old imperialist countries continued to "file lawsuits."
In order to cooperate with the Chinese political axe's recourse to looted overseas cultural relics, the Chinese People's Liberation Army decided to conduct the first nuclear submarine underwater launch long-range launch vehicle launch test in the North Atlantic waters.
On June 10, 1962, the Xinhua News Agency issued an announcement that the People's Republic of China would launch carrier rockets in the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean within a circular sea area with a radius of 35 nautical miles centered at 29°13′ north latitude and 28°16′ west longitude during the period from June 15 to June 28, 1962. For the sake of the safety of passing ships and aircraft, China has asked the relevant countries to notify their ships and aircraft not to enter the above-mentioned sea areas and their airspace from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.
The broadcast of this important announcement immediately attracted the attention of countries around the world.
Protest! Why did China, as a Pacific country, go to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to test long-range launch vehicles? This is a naked threat of force and provocation!
Protest has a bullshit, our Chinese past and future lives have protested a lot, you Westerners who have fucking ignored it. China is now a maritime power straddling two oceans, and it can test wherever it wants. In the past, you went to China as if you were in your own backyard, burning, killing and plundering China without any problems, where did you get these problems now? The threat of force threatens you, whatever! It is to provoke you, and what can it do to provoke you? Have the ability to organize the Eight-Nation Alliance to enter Yanjing again! Yes, it was organized, but in 1950 in North Korea it was beaten up and peeed
At 10 o'clock on June 20, the sun shone on the surface of the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean. The flotilla consisting of two "Dolphin" conventional diesel submarines, two "Great Wall" missile frigates and a large integrated supply ship of the Red Navy Detachment of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy stationed in the Strait of Malacca escorted China's first nuclear-powered submarine "Qianlong" 101, which was hidden under thousands of blue waters and loaded with long-range carrier rockets, to the waters of the Arabian Sea.
In the vast sea, the nuclear submarine is silent, but it is always thrilling, in the launch compartment of the "Qianlong No. 101" nuclear submarine, "100 people with a gun, everyone dances with a sword," with the commander's order, the hand pressed the launch button, the carrier rocket rushed out of the launch canister, with a loud bang, the first generation of solid submersible carrier rocket developed by China itself, with a thunderous momentum through the sea water, like a sea dragon breaking out of the water, rushing out of the sea, splashing a piece of fire on the water surface, soaring, Piercing the blue sky, he drew a long arc between the blue sea and the blue sky, and soon disappeared into the distant sky
"Riding a whale on the waves of the sea, the dragon in the sea is sharp, the blood is loyal to the enemy, and the mission is in mind to cast national security." The launch vehicle reverberates in sea space with the song of the sonorous nuclear submarine fighters
The large computer on the nuclear submarine is running at high speed, transmitting all kinds of data to various trackers to guide the measurement equipment to closely track the target, and sending the data of the last landing point of the rocket to the survey fleet in the splashed sea area, guiding them to meet the re-entry launch vehicle.
Thousands of kilometers away, the survey ships in the sea area of the Atlantic Ocean are scheduled to splash down, under the escort of the destroyer "Vladivostok", two destroyers, two "Dolphin" submarines, two domestically produced "Great Wall" missile frigates, two submarine hunting ships, and a large comprehensive supply ship of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy. Accurately grasp the whereabouts of the launch vehicle. Suddenly, the radar on the survey fleet caught the target, and in an instant, a fireball drilled out of the clouds and splashed accurately in the predetermined sea area of the North Atlantic. Hit the cupola column. The helicopter on the destroyer Vladivostok discovered the data capsule of the long-range launch vehicle and salvaged it in five minutes.
During the entire launch process, the carrier rocket flew through the underwater stage, the control stage, and the passive stage, and accurately landed in the predetermined sea area of the Atlantic Ocean, achieving complete success. This is another major achievement made by China in the field of cutting-edge science and technology for national defense after the successful launch of hydrogen bombs, long-range carrier rockets, and artificial satellites. The success of the underwater launch carrier rocket of the nuclear submarine not only shows that there has been a new development in the modernization of the Chinese People's Navy and a new strengthening of its national defense strength, but also marks that China has become the first country in the world to have the ability to launch strategic missiles under water, and has greatly demonstrated the national prestige of New China and the military prestige of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
China's first nuclear submarine launched a long-range launch vehicle from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean was successfully launched! It has spread throughout China and the world. China's land-based missiles have terrified the whole world, and nuclear submarines carrying missiles have swam in the vast sea, which has terrified the Western "powers." This successful launch of the carrier rocket from under the water proves that China's carrier rocket technology has reached a new level, indicating that China has the ability and technology to launch missiles from submarines to attack strategic targets on the ground, and has greatly improved the ability of the army, navy, and air force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to comprehensively carry out strategic nuclear strikes.
On the evening of the successful launch of China's long-range launch vehicle, Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi announced at a press conference held at the China Press Center that China's underwater launch vehicle was completely experimental. Not for any country or region. China's development of long-range strike capability is entirely motivated by the need to defend itself and to protect China's core interests from being infringed upon. China is the only two countries in the world that have been hit by a nuclear attack, but it has always been very restrained in its stance on the use of nuclear weapons. This is by no means because China's political axe is too weak and can be bullied, but because China is highly responsible to the people of the world.
The Chinese nation is an industrious and kind nation, and it has never had any ambition to possess things that do not belong to us, but it is not okay for others to think of plundering us by illegal means. In modern times, the Western powers have taken possession of China's political axe and the territory and property of the Chinese people through dishonorable means, which have greatly harmed the dignity of the Chinese people and greatly damaged China's core interests. If we fail to do this, we are not worthy of being called the axe of the people. The means of recovering these territories and properties that we have lost are diverse. However, the Chinese people are peace-loving, and we have always advocated these issues through friendly consultations and peaceful means
History records a story that shocked the world: on June 20, 1962, China's first submarine launch of a long-range launch vehicle was successful.
Strength is everything.
Foreign news agencies of various countries commented: "The success of China's underwater submarine launch long-range carrier rocket shows that China is the first to achieve a long-range strategic nuclear strike at sea and quietly and silently carry out long-range strategic nuclear strikes against any region of the world; although the United States and the Soviet Union are both capable of launching such underwater submarines, they are only tactical, and their range and accuracy are incomparable with China's long-range launch."
In this global recourse to looted cultural relics, no one can afford to provoke China, the boss of the emerging power. And no one wants to provoke China's temper on this small issue. Since 1962, China has recovered from the British, and the British have illegally looted more than 60,000 pieces of rare national treasures such as Chinese calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, jade, pottery, porcelain, bronzes, and carvings from China in the past, covering nearly 5,000 years of Chinese history, many of which are unique items that have never been seen. For example, Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty collected treasures for the court of the past dynasties, the Tang Dynasty facsimile of Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas", the "Green Landscape Map" of Li Sixun, the son of Li Xiaobin of the early Tang Dynasty, the "Green Landscape Map" of the general Zuo Wuwei of Li Xiaobin, the "Dense Forest Stacked Peak" of Ju Ran, a representative of the Jiangnan School of Painting in the early Song Dynasty, the "Visiting Friends with the Qin" of Shaanxi painter Fan Kuan, one of the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Huayan Disguised Picture" by Li Gonglin, a native of Anhui, and the "Ink and Bamboo Picture" of Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty. In addition, there are Shang Dynasty bronze double sheep statue, Western Zhou Dynasty Kanghou bronze Gui, Xinghou Gui, Dunhuang murals, Han Dynasty jade carving dragon, Tang Dynasty topaz sitting dog and other British Museum, Victoria Royal Museum and other major British museums treasures.
In France, more than 50,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics were recovered from the illegal plundering of China by France during the period of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and more than 50,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics were detained in the Louvre Museum, the Fontainebleau Museum, and many museums such as Guimet, including the painted pottery of the primitive society, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, porcelain, and Dunhuang cultural relics, including the silk manuscripts of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the gold manuscripts of the Sui Dynasty, the silk embroidery books of the Tang Dynasty, the golden books of the Tang Dynasty, the Wanli engravings of the Ming Dynasty, the map of the 10,000 years of the Qing Dynasty, the 40 poems on silk of the Old Summer Palace, and the three Tang rubbings of Dunhuang calligraphy and painting. Fulfilled Hugo's wish 100 years ago; "I believe that there will be a day when France, which has been liberated and washed clean of its filth, will return its stolen goods to China." However, it was not "a liberated France that washed away the filth from its body" and "returned its stolen goods to the looted China". Rather, China pursued it back with its own great strength.
In Germany, after recovering a part of the Eight-Nation Alliance's capture of Yanjing, they seized some precious cultural relics, including the Qianlong tablet, the "Hundred Birds and the Phoenix" longevity account, the gold snail inlaid with gold inlays, and the silk character of the Song Dynasty painter Mi Fu "Lizhujing", which has been stolen from Turpan and Kuqa in China in the early 20th century in the name of archaeology, including the portrait mural of Meniz, the founder of Manichaeism, and more than 30,000 pieces of rare handwritten documents, textiles, coins, etc. It is a pity that some of the Chinese cultural relics looted by Germany were destroyed in the bombing of the Second World War.
In Canada, more than 10,000 pieces of cultural relics, including treasures of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, were recovered from China that were stolen by the Canadian missionary Huai Luguang between 1909 and 1934 in the name of "investigation and excavation".
In 1964, China's 3rd National People's Congress decided to keep the ruins of the Old Summer Palace as a patriotic base for permanent surnames, so as to remind the Chinese people that "the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time". Next to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, a "Memorial Hall of China's Centennial Shame" was built, and these cultural relics that were plundered and looted by various Western powers and recovered were placed in this memorial hall. Let the Chinese people remember from generation to generation that because of the humiliation that the Chinese nation once suffered due to backwardness and cowardice, so many good things were once snatched away by others. Leave more shame and hatred behind the future generations of the Chinese nation.
