The Bay of Pigs invasion was completely over. The Castro brothers and Che Guevara captured more than 1000 prisoners. There was a long list in April, and the list in May almost couldn't fit.
The whole Bay of Pigs incident is like nonsense. It is hard to imagine that the CIA will make so many amateur mistakes. The CIA didn't seem to be that amateur before, but now it suddenly becomes amateur. The only explanation is that this term of president is not good enough.
In May 1961, there was a major event in South Korea: the "May Coup".
In April, Song Yaozan forced the palace to oust Syngman Rhee from power, which was called the "April coup".
Thousands of South Korean troops controlled by Park Chung Hee suddenly moved out of the barracks. These troops drove straight into Busan and controlled all transportation hubs, radio stations, newspaper offices, government agencies, and finally Song Yaozan and others.
The mobilization of Park Chung-hee's troops was in full compliance with the US-South Korea military command process. The US military gave him the green light along the way, while the rest of the troops, especially the troops controlled by Song Yaozan, were ordered by the US military to stop them from moving.
Song Yaozan and Xuan Xihu stepped into the US embassy in South Korea. A week ago, Zhang Mian and Rhee Chengman had just arranged their villa in Hawaii for refuge, confirmed their retirement benefits, and left the embassy for the United States.
Now in the embassy, the room where Song Yaozan and Xuan Xihu live is exactly the room of Rhee Syngman and Zhang Mian.
"Are you two planning to move to Hawaii, or the West Coast of the United States, or Miami?" asked the U.S. embassy clerk who was in charge of contacting the two stepped down officials.

1961 5 Month 20 Day.
The first test bomb of the HD-3 hydrogen bomb, "Zhuhuai", was hung in the bomb bay of the H-6, and the plane took off and flew to Lop Nur.
"'Zhuhuai' has exhausted all the measures I can think of to miniaturize the nuclear bomb," Deng Jiaxian said. "If I still want to reduce the size and weight of the nuclear warhead, I can't think of any way now."
Tang Hua: "Team leader Deng is humble. As long as there is time, methods to reduce volume and weight will continue to come up."
Deng Jiaxian: "There are some methods that I have come up with, but they can't be realized for the time being. At present, we can only continue to let time tell us the answer."
Yu Min: "The volume and weight of the nuclear warhead have exceeded our previous expectations."
Tang Hua: "That's right. Dongfeng-5 now has two configuration options: a 1500-megaton HD-4 hydrogen bomb, or four 300-megaton HD-3 hydrogen bombs. It is up to the Strategic Rocket Force to determine on its own."

At the secret air force base in Pakistan, the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane piloted by Landon Blinken had just landed two hours ago. He took off his heavy pressurized flight suit, Blinken took a shower and changed clothes, had another big meal, and continued to fly The fatigue of 2 and a half hours has disappeared a lot.
In February last year, during a reconnaissance flight in China, a 2-megaton hydrogen bomb suddenly exploded in front of the plane, which scared Blinken to death.
When I came back for inspection, I found that the person was fine, but the plane was obviously exposed to nuclear radiation, and the engine intake and camera lens were stained with a lot of radioactive substances.After the flight in February, Blinken, who was still in shock, rested for two months before resuming the Feixin mission. From then to now, Blinken sneaked into Xinjiang twice, but fortunately, they were all alone in the open sky Flying to take pictures, nothing exciting happened.
After eating, Blinken suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the base was a bit wrong. The U-2 team members frequently came in and out, and their faces were tense.He went to the window and looked out over the runway. The other U-2—the one with the nuclear explosion detectors and atmospheric collection devices—was pulled out of the hangar for takeoff.
"China exploded a nuclear bomb two hours ago with a large yield, said to be 300 million tons," said Blake Smith. "Now, unlucky, I'm going to collect dust."
U-2 dust collectors are treated differently from ordinary camera reconnaissance aircraft pilots. Dust collector pilots can return to the United States to enjoy a long vacation after performing two missions. After the long vacation, they will serve in a different theater and do not need to be exposed to nuclear explosion dust. The collection worked.
Ordinary camera pilots like Blinken have to work continuously for a long time.
"Good luck," Blinken said. "The subsidy for one flight is equivalent to five months' salary, which is actually a very good deal."
5月20日下午3时05分，由轰-6投下的“诸怀”爆炸。
"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing" stated: "There is a beast on the mountain of Beiyue, which is shaped like a cow with four horns, human eyes, and pig ears. Its name is Ri Zhu Huai, and its sound is like a wild goose. It is a man-eating beast."
The author of Shan Hai Jing doesn't have enough language reserves to describe what a monster looks like to the extreme. Anyway, it is "this monster can eat people, so scary".
Looking at the description of the lethality of the "Zhuhuai" hydrogen bomb at the Lop Nur base, we know that the ancients could think of too little:
"The hydrogen bomb exploded at a height of 1350 meters above the ground, and directly below the fireball, the sand grains within a radius of about 450 meters were heated and melted into a glass body."
"Within 1000 meters of the blast center, all five tanks placed lost their ability to continue fighting and driving. Ten trucks were completely destroyed, and all reinforced concrete bunkers were destroyed."
"Within 3000 meters from the epicentre, all typical urban buildings used for testing were destroyed by the shock wave. All 189 animals in cages used for testing were burnt, and about three-fifths died on the spot, and the remaining five Two of them died one after another within the next 8 hours.""
"Within 5000 meters from the epicentre, typical urban buildings used for testing were severely damaged, with 85% collapsed or partially collapsed."
"Within 6000 meters from the epicentre, the exposed mannequins showed shock waves strong enough to cause serious injury or death."

United Nations General Assembly.
Huang Hua, China's permanent representative to the United Nations General Assembly, officially responded to the proposal letter from the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission and the Russell-Einstein Declaration Committee.
"China has always opposed nuclear weapons, and has repeatedly advocated that the international community sit down to discuss a plan to destroy all nuclear weapons. China has always supported the initiative to ban nuclear tests."
"China agrees to join international negotiations on a full or partial ban on nuclear tests, but only if France joins the international negotiations at the same time as China."
"What China advocates is a complete ban on nuclear tests, regardless of outer space, the atmosphere, underwater nuclear tests, or underground nuclear tests that claim to have little impact on the earth's atmospheric environment. first step."
“At the same time, China requested that the nuclear test ban negotiations include Chinese as an official working language in addition to English and Russian.”
Chapter 46, this is the Qian Xuesen cross?
Throughout the month of May, float parades of "the triumphant return of America's first astronaut" are held in state capitals and major cities in the United States.
Since the Bay of Pigs invasion failed and was exposed by the media, the U.S. government has become the target of ridicule both at home and abroad.The Soviet Union sent the first astronaut into space, but the United States is secretly plotting to overthrow the Cuban government. It is clear at a glance who is superior and who is inferior.
This embarrassing situation lasted for half a month and finally ended on April 4.
At 9 o'clock this morning, the "Redstone" rocket carrying the "Freedom [-]" space capsule, which contained the first American astronaut Alan Shepard, successfully launched from Cape Canaveral.
Before Alan Shepard entered Liberty [-] and closed the hatch, spacecraft engineer Gene Krantz said to him: "Come on, don't screw up."
Shepard's response: "Dude, every part on this ship was made by the lowest bidder contractor, and I hope it doesn't screw up..."
Freedom 187 drew a parabola in the Atlantic Ocean, and flew up to 487 kilometers into space, with a flight distance of 15 kilometers and a flight time of 8 minutes.After the fuel in the rocket engine burned out, Shepard felt weightless, but it only lasted seven or eight minutes before returning to Earth.
After opening the parachute, Liberty 20 fell at a constant speed of [-] meters per second. If it landed on land, Shepard would basically break his bones.But this time Liberty [-] landed on the Atlantic Ocean. The spacecraft fell into the sea and floated up again. The landing point was very accurate. The aircraft carrier "Lake Chamberlain" was nearby. The spacecraft was quickly lifted by a helicopter. The flight ended successfully.
Although I just "jumped" into space and stayed in space for a few minutes, it can barely be regarded as a space trip.In the third season of Space Race, the runner-up Team USA crossed the finish line.
……
"On a parade of floats across the country, Kennedy received him and awarded him the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was short of a Congressional Medal."
"This Alan Shepard and Gagarin are not the same kind of people at all. Gagarin has a calm personality, is unsmiling, and lives a rigid life; Alan Shepard is usually not serious, and his three major hobbies are smoking , drink, perm your head, ah no, pick up girls."
Tang Hua was talking about the dark history of the first American astronaut.
Shepard quit smoking only in March 1961, and never quit drinking. Two weeks before the launch, he drove out of the base to go clubbing in a small town 3 kilometers away.
Liu Yelou: "Smoking and drinking, you can pass the medical examination and fly into space? Then why does our Air Force select elites from pilots to train astronauts?"
Tang Hua: "Actually, American astronauts have a high standard of physical fitness, but even if Shepard smokes and drinks, his physical fitness, psychological quality and operational skills are still the highest among the same group of astronauts. It’s not the same as human talent.”
Liu Yelou: "Actually, if the Soviet comrades are willing to accept these astronauts and help us train them, I think that will be enough. In a few years, I believe we can launch spaceships to the sky by ourselves."
