During this time, there was also a major event that had a profound impact on China and the world, and that was the turmoil in Java. In 1961, taking advantage of President Sukarno's visit abroad and Zhang Hao's sudden death, a number of senior Javanese military generals who had always adhered to an anti-China stance in their hearts suddenly launched a military coup with the covert support of the United States to try to overthrow the pro-Chinese Sukarno government.

Although New China has long formed a tradition of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries," not to mention that there are many things that need to be dealt with urgently in China because of Zhang Hao's sudden death, most of the top leaders of the Chinese Red Party advocate sending ships to evacuate overseas Chinese. However, Hu Weidong is well aware of how much trouble Java will bring once it is controlled by anti-China forces, especially since Australian minerals must make a detour if they want to be transported to China, and their safety is also questionable, so it is impossible not to interfere. However, if we wait for the rebels to become the "legitimate government" of Java in the future, it will become aggression, and the pressure of international public opinion will be very great, so it is better to kill them "legally" in the name of helping the Javanese government to quell the rebellion

In order to settle the problem once and for all, Hu Weidong specially invited Aceh, Indonesia's old enemy, to send troops together, in order to "lure the snake out of the hole" and let all the Javanese who have anti-China tendencies jump out on their own, and the support of the Americans gave the Javanese great courage, but on the contrary, it objectively helped him. In the end, more than 500,000 Javanese rebels were annihilated, and more than 1.5 million Javanese civilians died in the war. The war made the surviving Javanese people dare not rise anti-China thoughts for at least 30 years, and the shipping routes between China and Australia were reopened.

During this period, US President Kennedy once wanted to send the Seventh Fleet to Java to embolden the rebels, but the lessons of the attack on the Tsushima Strait are still vivid, which makes the Americans dare not take such risks after all, if more warships are sent, it may be enough to defend against the possible surprise attacks launched by the Chinese, but at this time the "Cuban Missile Crisis" broke out again, and the US Navy no longer has enough spare strength to strongly intervene in Java, and can only sit back and watch the anti-Chinese forces in Java be wiped out.

And during this period, Taizu also exported the revolution and the immigration strategy that had been laid out long ago. As a result, many islands east of Sulawesi, including the island of New Guinea, became independent and formed pro-Chinese governments. The Philippines also had a successful revolution in the Philippines, and China took complete control of the entire South Seas.

The early '60s was arguably the worst period of post-war relations between China and the United States, and the confrontation between the two ideologies was also the most acute, and the president of the United States was Kennedy, who was very bold and even somewhat impulsive. And Taizu, who had always been tough on the outside world, also re-emerged as China's leader. As a result, no one was willing to back down, and it almost triggered a third world war, and a nuclear war

At that time, the U.S. government was angry and issued a nuclear threat. Taizu said-for-tat a passage that later caused great controversy, "Even if half of the 1 billion Chinese die, the remaining 500 million people will be able to rebuild their homes from the ruins." ”。 Although this passage has been misinterpreted by many opponents of Taizu as disregarding the lives of the people. Even inhumane and frenzied, but it fully expressed the courage and determination of the Chinese Red Party and the Chinese people to dare to fight a nuclear war with the United States, and as a result, Kennedy, who did not believe in evil, really began to prepare for nuclear war at home, but was assassinated by the big American capitalists who did not want to be buried with him, and the nuclear crisis was lifted

In fact, although Taizu has never been afraid of sacrifice, he has always opposed meaningless sacrifices. On the one hand, he dared to make such cruel remarks, because he believed that the US ruling class did not have the courage to break the net when it could still get by, and on the other hand, because even if the Americans really dropped the nuclear bomb, it would be the United States that would lose

In the early 1960s, China had about 50 land-based and sea-based strategic nuclear missiles, while the United States had more than 120 of them, and if we count the surface-to-air nuclear missiles and various tactical nuclear weapons carried by strategic bombers, the total number was as high as 300.

First of all, the range of US ICBMs is not as good as China's, this time and space in the early 1960s, China has developed a land-based nuclear missile with a range of 11,000 km and a submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of 5,000 km, while the same type of nuclear missile in the United States has a range of only 8,000 km and 3,000 km respectively.

What's more, because the mainland has always been safe, so the economy and industry of the United States are developing freely, so everything is for the sake of economic convenience, and the layout is very concentrated, so even if only half of China's more than 50 nuclear missiles hit the target (in fact, it must be more than that, because no country has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles). It can also destroy all the large cities of the United States with a population of more than one million, thereby killing more than 1/5 of the population of the United States and destroying more than 2/3 of its industry, which is basically the rhythm of the country's demise.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economic and industrial layout has always put the factors of national defense and security in a fairly high priority, so more than seventy percent of the industry is distributed in small cities and towns with a population of less than 300,000, not to mention the population, because the population base is too large, China is far from realizing urbanization today, the population of large and medium-sized cities accounts for only 15% of the total, and the losses suffered by a nuclear attack are much smaller than those of the United States.

Another point is also very important, the United States has always practiced a relatively loose federal system, and there is no political party with super organizational and cohesive strength, which is not a big problem in the period of domestic stability, but if it is subjected to a full-scale nuclear strike, it will be difficult to reorganize the people, property, and material resources of the whole country when the United States is completely paralyzed by internal transportation and communications.

In China, with the Red Party at its core, which is organized at the grassroots level, it will certainly be able to rebuild order at home more quickly, as can be seen from the efficiency of China's disaster response. In addition, during the revolution in those years, the base areas behind enemy lines often lost contact with the central government, and accumulated a lot of useful experience in advance, which may have been able to play a miraculous effect in a nuclear war.
