Chapter 378: The political commissar did a good job

These unruly red Chinese, far from being as tame as Chongqing, have become a decisive force in China. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info whether these red Chinese will fall to the Soviet Union is a question for Americans to consider. Although reports from China show that these red Chinese are staunch nationalists, they do not trust the Soviets so much, and even quite wary.

But for the top level of the United States, the problem cannot be solved by a few reports. Something in Europe, the Americans do not want to play out again in the Far East. Unless the Americans are in post-war China and don't want to have any influence. However, some Americans, who have been stimulated by the huge results of World War II, and who cannot be found in the south, east, west, and northwest, obviously do not want to lose their say in the future of Chinese affairs.

These two atomic bombs urged the Japanese to surrender and speed up the course of the war on the one hand. But on the other hand, it is also warning those red Chinese not to provoke the United States, let alone try to challenge the Americans. Especially the person in the Northeast, don't stretch your hands too long, you must know how to stop in moderation.

It's just that the Americans don't know that when they dropped two atomic bombs in a row to teach the Japanese, Yang Zhen, who was far away in northeast China, had been paying close attention to and calculating there. After all the camera materials were sent back to Northeast China, they were immediately copied and sent to Beiping and the secret base.

These materials, as well as a large number of materials and samples collected by the anti-coalition forces that landed on the Japanese mainland immediately after the war, have been of considerable help to the development of China's atomic bomb. Americans, who look down on the Chinese too much, have paid the price for their contempt.

When the chairman saw the film materials of the two atomic bombings, as well as the reconnaissance photos of the tragic images of Hiroshima and Nagasaki taken by the anti-United Nations bombers after the explosions, he smoked almost one after the other. After being silent for a long time, it seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to say to Yang Zhen beside him: "This atomic bomb really has such great power?" ”

Regarding the chairman's words, Yang Zhen thought about it and finally did not answer. But the chairman then said, "How far have you come?" This thing is a paper tiger, but it can't be without. Let Hanako also have a dog-beating stick in her hand, let alone us? ”

When the chairman asked, Yang Zhen said after a slight expression: "Chairman, we have completed the first step. The nuclear reactor has been started up and is currently working well. However, because we did not have qualified uranium ore in our hands, we could only rely on refining uranium placer, which was more difficult, so it caused certain difficulties in the refining of uranium materials. ”

"In addition, the power consumption caused by uranium enrichment is too large, and the pressure on the supply of the original electricity in Northeast China is too great. We can only build and research accordingly. However, at present, we have found qualified uranium deposits in Rehe, and uranium resources have also been found in Jilin and Benxi. ”

"Although the scale of the mine is not large, and the taste of the ore is not high enough, it can fully meet the needs. Moreover, the difficulty of processing and refining is much simpler than that of uranium placer. It's just that it's still in the construction period of the mine, and it's difficult to mine on a large scale for a while. ”

"We are trying to speed up the construction and try to rely on the existing conditions as much as possible to mine a part of the ore as soon as possible. The uranium enrichment plant is also being built in a hurry, but the scale is still relatively limited, given the pressure on funds and equipment. ”

"The successful commissioning of the nuclear reactor and the safe operation have made a good start for our follow-up research and development work. In our judgment, if there are no major problems, we will be able to develop the atomic bomb used by the United States in Hiroshima in five years at most. ”

Although Yang Zhen didn't know why the chairman asked himself, because all the work was currently in charge of the first political commissar of the military region. All progress will be reported to the central government as soon as possible. It stands to reason that the chairman should be well aware of the progress of this matter, and there is no need to ask himself.

But since the chairman asked, Yang Zhen also made another report to the chairman. And the report is quite specific, including the progress of research and development. But in fact, the R&D work has reached the time when it has reached a bottleneck. Compared with the difficulties in principle that have been solved, the research on nuclear materials that has already begun is the most difficult.

Especially when the foundation of the metallurgical industry is still very weak, the research and development of nuclear materials is the greatest difficulty. However, these difficulties are not insurmountable in Yang Zhen's view. Especially under the situation that the Qiqihart Steel Plant has completed all the construction and the Shenyang Smelter has resumed production, the choice has been much larger.

After listening to Yang Zhen's report, the chairman took a hard puff of cigarette and said, "Comrade Yang Zhen, the central government has great expectations for you in this matter. Some things still have to be up to you, and the final decision is still up to you. The matter of letting go of the shopkeeper is unacceptable. Since you've made this start, you have to do it well. ”

After the chairman finished speaking, Yang Zhen realized that the chairman was a little dissatisfied with his investment in high-tech weapons research and development after the first political commissar took office, and even basically did not care much. After figuring this out, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Chairman, the political commissar is doing a good job. ”

Yang Zhen's answer, the chairman looked at his expression, lit a cigarette and said, "You, don't always think so much." The Central Committee and I have a high degree of trust in you. You are the first secretary of the Northeast Bureau appointed by the Central Committee and the general person in charge appointed by the Central Committee. ”

"Catch what you need to catch up, don't always look ahead and look backwards. As long as you do it right, the central government will give you the support you deserve. You, some issues are amazingly bold, and some issues are like an old lady with small feet, and you can't do this way. ”

The chairman's disguised criticism, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Chairman, there is a specialization in art." I'm not a small person, but I'm a little bit high-handed, low-eyed, and I have too much to do, so I'm a little bit of a duck and a fish. It's not a bad thing to be in person, but it's definitely not a good thing either. A person's energy is still limited. Grasping everything in your hands affects your work. ”

"Formulating a strict discipline and strictly enforcing it, using discipline to restrain people, this is much better than I have to manage everything. The political commissar has studied abroad for many years and is not the kind of person with a narrow vision. The scope of knowledge is also broad enough. With the help of the political commissar who has taken charge of this work and the cadres who have been trained through many years of strict cultivation of the concept of discipline, I think it is much better than me doing it myself. ”

"Chairman, it's not looking ahead, it's really not that much energy. In the economy and people's livelihood, the number one leader of the government is stronger than me. Engaged in political work and high technology, the ability of political commissars is at ease. In these aspects, I only need to grasp the direction. It's better to let someone more suitable do it than to make a mess of everything and not be proficient in everything. ”

Yang Zhen's answer made the chairman slightly stunned, but he nodded slightly. The chairman listened to Yang Zhen's words, but did not give any evaluation. Looking at the chairman who was deep in thought, Yang Zhen didn't say anything. Some things are too much to talk about, but they are a problem. So far, it's the best choice.

Regarding the question of whether the DPRK should set up a government after the central authorities solicited Yang Zhen's opinion, Yang Zhen made it clear that everything should be subject to the command of the central authorities. The DPRK issue is an international issue, and all policies are decided by the central authorities. With regard to the former Korean Independence League, which has now returned to Korea, it is better for the central authorities to decide what to do next.

As for the central government's request for the transfer of all Korean cadres from the Anti-Japanese Resistance League to return to work in North Korea, Yang Zhen also chose to support it. However, Yang Zhen also reported to the Central Committee that the Soviets are making frequent moves on the North Korean issue at present, and he hopes that the Central Committee can give a certain degree of vigilance and beware of the Soviets meddling.

After Yang Zhen finished talking with the chairman, he did not stay too long in Beiping, and flew directly to North Korea that night. After returning to North Korea, that is, immediately after the second atomic bomb explosion in Nagasaki, Yang Zhen gave the 2nd Division of Paratroopers stationed in North Korea. As well as all the transport aircraft groups and the naval fleet, plus all the troops, the order for first-class combat readiness was issued, and the various units began to secretly assemble one after another to the ports controlled by the South Korean Anti-Japanese Union.

At the same time as the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, the Americans also dropped a large number of propaganda leaflets on the Japanese mainland, telling the Japanese that the Americans had this thing. If they persist in resisting, the Americans will continue to carry out similar bombing on the Japanese mainland. This time, the Americans' intimidation tactics finally had the result they wanted.

On 14 August, the last wave of US bombers had just finished their air raids on Japan. When the bombers of the Anti-Japanese Union were still hovering over the west coast of Japan, dropping a large number of high-explosive aerial bombs on various defensive positions of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen gave Li Mingfeng in the Soviet Union a signal to start the operation.

Although he is in North Korea at the moment, he has been closely monitoring the situation in Europe. After giving Li Mingfeng the signal to complete his actions, Yang Zhen has been paying attention to his actions. It was not until the day of Japan's surrender on 15 August that Yang Zhen was slightly relieved after receiving a signal that everything was going well with Li Mingfeng, who had escaped from the pursuit of the Soviet army and crossed the Danish line.

The rest of the matter depends on whether Li Mingfeng can successfully open this time difference. As for the personnel dispatched, whether their own technical ability can meet the needs, Yang Zhen is still confident in this. Without this ability, the Soviets would not have handed over so many ships to them to operate and maintain.

Yang Zhen was not too worried about the pursuit of the Soviet Navy and Air Force, and the large ships were all abducted, and the remaining speedboats could not pursue these ships. As for the Soviet Air Force, Yang Zhen had nothing to worry about. Those attack aircraft and fighters with short legs can't cover too far in range.

As for the Tu 2 and Pei 2 bombers with a slightly larger range, by the time they reacted, Li Mingfeng and the others would have already entered the protective circle of the European and American military aviation units stationed in western China. Although Asia is still fighting very lively, the curtain of the Cold War in Europe has begun to fall. In the handling of the German and Eastern European issues, the United States and the Soviet Union, whose contradictions were becoming increasingly acute, did not get along well at this time.

The wartime alliance has long since disappeared with the end of the European theater. All that remains is constant intrigue and sharp political contradictions. This is not a good thing for Europeans, though. No one wants a new fuse to emerge before a world war is over.

However, the current situation in Europe is quite favorable for the anti-union personnel involved in this operation. The Americans will not fail to fall into this matter. But whether the voyage along the way can go smoothly, Yang Zhen is quite worried. Because at this time, all the anti-Japanese personnel stationed in the Soviet Union, except for the nails secretly left in Europe, have all withdrawn to the northeast.

If the Americans really don't take the initiative or passively cooperate, then the fuel supply along the way has really become the most troublesome thing. In addition to this problem, the entire Baltic Sea and the North Sea, which have not yet been cleared of mines, have also become the biggest obstacle to this operation.
