[32] "Blind" radar

General Yuan also found that it was dark at this time, and he said to Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"You see that my master is really incompetent, and he makes the guests hungry after all the meals. Well, let's go eat first, and then we'll talk when we're done. ”

So the three of them talked and laughed and went to the nearby Zhuyuan Hotel for dinner, and after eating and drinking, they returned to the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense to continue discussing arms purchases.

Everyone hiccuped and first calculated the bill for the Navy's procurement, a total of 2.408 billion, and the two sides negotiated to erase the fraction and count it as 2.4 billion. Combined with the previously negotiated purchases, the total amount reached a staggering 3.4 billion yuan.

"General Yuan, then this military purchase has been decided, we are a win-win situation, but I have a request." Xiao Qiang said this, straightened up from the back of his chair and looked at General Yuan Kedi.

General Yuan said in his heart that this time the drama meat was coming, and said, "You just say it." ”

Xiaoqiang said: "I want to pay in gold, and I hope to store gold here in my country to facilitate the settlement of future transactions." ”

There is such a tradition in the world, for example, many countries store gold in the United States, because the United States is their main trading country, and the New York Board of Trade is also the main pricing exchange for shijie gold trading. However, few countries have gold reserves in China, and even if they do, there are very few, and the gold varieties of the Shanghai Futures Exchange do not yet have pricing power, so there is still a long way to go for Shijie countries to reserve gold in the Central Bank of China.

As a high-ranking leading cadre among the military, General Yuan still has a certain sensitivity, and he intuitively realizes that this is a very important matter.

"I can promise you to pay directly in gold, and I will convey the matter of reserve gold to the Xiangshang-level leaders, and I feel fine."

Xiao Qiang thanked General Yuan and said:

"Is it possible to hand over the gold first? I have 19 tons of gold in the warehouse, and I can't sleep for a day without delivery. ”

General Yuan was taken aback, "Nineteen tons?!" Wait a minute, I'll give my superiors a call and ask for instructions. ”

General Yuan turned around and went out, and came back after a while.

"Xiaoqiang, the leaders of the Currency, Gold and Silver Bureau and the National Treasury Bureau of the People's Bank of China will come over with escort personnel in a while, let's wait a minute."

After the personnel of the Currency, Gold and Silver Bureau and the National Treasury Bureau arrived, the matter was simple, and the staff of the Currency, Gold and Silver Bureau were directly sent to the warehouse with a special gold escort vehicle, and the 19 tons of gold were accepted and sealed in front of Xiaoqiang and escorted away.

Xiaoqiang received the receipt, made an appointment with General Yuan, and continued to discuss follow-up matters at the Ministry of National Defense tomorrow. Then he ordered Zhou Lan and the others, who had been waiting in the warehouse today, to hurry home and rest, and he himself went back to the big house in Rongze Mansion and fell asleep, he was too tired today.

In 1949, Commander Chen Yi, who received a secret telegram from the central government and learned that the Kuomintang was planning an air attack on Puhai, was arranging manpower to repair the radar at a speed of 100,000.

According to the information provided by Xiaoqiang, the central government has made a lot of preparations for the upcoming air raids. Now that we know it in advance, we can't let the tragedy of history repeat itself.

In fact, in July 49, the Puhai side of the East China Military Region received and found more than 10 dilapidated radars left by the Kuomintang, painstakingly selected two of them compared with Haode, and after a little renovation, erected them on a six-story building on Anguo Road, and established our army's first radar team, which was specially responsible for Shanghai's air vigilance.

It is really not easy to say that these two radars came to us, and these two relatively complete Japanese-made "four-type" radars, as well as some incomplete Type 313 and Kong-6 radar components, were left to the Kuomintang by the Japanese army when Japan surrendered. When the Kuomintang troops retreated and fled from Puhai, they only cared about the gold and silver and the little wife, and no one cared about these things that could not be exchanged for money, nor did they have time to transport them away, and threw them in the grass like garbage. After the liberation of Puhai, the Air Defense Department collected them according to the clues provided by Shen Tingzheng and others. After painstaking overhauls, a Japanese-style "Type 4" radar was erected, and the other "Type 4" radar has yet to be repaired. If it weren't for the fact that the Rabbit Communist Party has always had a good habit of hard work and simplicity, our army would not even have a radar at this time. There's no way, the rabbit is so shabby at this time......

At the same time, the East China Military Region also set up seven or eight visual observation posts in the urban area of Puhai to observe the intrusive enemy planes. The command of the military region transferred the only few anti-aircraft artillery detachments of the military region to Puhai to form anti-aircraft firepower to defend important targets such as power plants, running water, and railway stations. In the area under their jurisdiction, the guard units stationed in urban areas select high-rise buildings and set up antiaircraft machine guns to deal with enemy planes that dive, bomb, and strafe. At the same time, civil air defense organizations such as air defense alarms, light control, and fire rescue were established. But despite this, the air defense of Puhai Liliang was still relatively weak, and the bombing of enemy aircraft became more frequent and larger.

Although there are these two radars, the "two. Sixth, "the air raid tragedy still happened, and there is another reason for it, that is, although the radar can be turned on after installation, it does not work!"

What's going on? On the surface, the machine is still working "normally". Occasionally, there are some small problems, which are general faults such as plugs and panel switches that are not in good contact. The radar monitors also asked the captain of the radar team for the first two times to eliminate it, and soon they learned it themselves. However, at that time, no one doubted that the radar in front of them turned out to be a "blind man" who could not detect the aircraft!

It was not until after the "26" tragedy that the comrades of the radar station were extremely depressed and puzzled, why did the radar not detect and warn in advance? There is no such thing as stealth aircraft these days. Therefore, I hurriedly invited experts from Puhai for consultation, which solved the problem of blind radar.

First of all, three professors and engineers engaged in radio engineering were invited, but the radar is a military product, and everyone has never played it, and the professors and engineers have checked how to look at it horizontally and vertically, and the conclusion is that the line is working normally, so it is said that the interlacing is like a mountain, and there is a difference between military equipment and civilian equipment, otherwise why train military experts.

After inquiring around, I heard that Jiang Dazong, a lecturer at Jiaotong University, had made radar when he served in the Burma Battlefield Expeditionary Force during the Anti-Japanese War. Mr. Jiang is a teacher of the radio experiment class of Jiaotong University, and after he came to see the working condition of the machine, according to the phenomenon that the radar frame has no fixed echo on the roof of the six-story building, he preliminarily judged that the transceiver system may not be adjusted properly, and suggested that Mr. Qian Shangping, chief engineer of Puhai International Radio Station, be invited to "consult". Jiang Dazong said that although Mr. Qian had never engaged in radar, he had rich practical experience in radio transceiver stations. The Air Defense Department immediately sent a car, and two comrades with an official letter went to take the money to the radar team. After listening to the introduction of the working situation of the machine and observing it at the scene, Mr. Qian clearly made a judgment that the "cause" of the machine was the imbalance of the transmitting and receiving system (that is, the working frequency of the transmitter was inconsistent with the working frequency of the receiver). Under the specific guidance of Mr. Qian and Mr. Jiang Dazong, they repeatedly carefully checked and adjusted the transmission and reception systems, and finally there was a close fixed echo on the fluorescent screen of the display. This fixed echo is extraordinary, and it marks that our army's first radar team can really undertake the task of air intelligence support from this day onwards!

Since Xiaoqiang mentioned this matter to the prime minister at the meeting, in this different 1949, the Air Defense Department directly found Jiang Dazong and Chief Engineer Qian Shangping to deal with this problem. The radar is finally working normally earlier than in history.

And the five sets of YL-70 medium and long-range radars that Xiaoqiang brought last time, although they were developed in imitation of the Soviet Y-35 radar in the 70s, but the performance is much stronger than these two sets of old Japanese radars, whether it is the search range or the ability to measure the range and altitude of the target, in this era, it is considered to be the first class in shijie, even if it is said that shijie is the first, it is not an exaggeration. At this time, two of the radar systems were being quickly shipped to Shanghai for installation and commissioning. Two more HQ04 low-altitude anti-aircraft radar vehicles were also transported to Puhai under the escort of the troops. The deployment of radars is generally coordinated in pairs to form air defense guidance points that support each other. Not long after, the East China Golden Triangle air defense network composed of these six radars will completely cover the high and low altitudes within several thousand kilometers, and it will be a nightmare waiting for Lao Chiang's air raid planes.

At this moment, the bald head is searching for and killing underground members of the Taiwan Working Committee of the Communist Party of China on a large scale, and at the same time praying to the United States, hoping that the United States will give him help in an armed counterattack against the mainland.

In 1949, the Taiwan authorities arrested 10,000 people for interrogation, military courts sentenced many to prison, and more than 1,000 were executed. According to incomplete statistics, between 1949 and 1952 alone, about 4,000 people were shot dead by the Taiwan authorities in the name of "bandits" and "communist parties," and 8,000 to 10,000 people were sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime of sympathy.

At that time in Taiwan, the White Terror had developed to the extreme! If you dare to stand on the edge of the strait and look at the other shore alone, you can be caught and shot; Dare to publish unfavorable news in the newspaper for the party * state, and be shot; Dare to demonstrate, shot. Correspondence, correspondence, telegrams, discontent, shot; Those who were reported to be dissatisfied with the party and the state were shot in the dialogue and were ......

The bald man's military jihua is to first use the air force air raid to collapse the coastal industry, and at the same time implement a blockade at sea, cut off the mainland sea trade, and Zuihou counterattack and land to reproduce his bald dictatorship......

Is this Nima still a normal human mind? Kiss? But that's what the bald man thought, and after he had lost almost all his chips and was left with only the small land of Duwan Bay, he still decided to ask Nima to flutter a few times.
