"Yes. If you don't come, you can't." Li Xiannian replied briefly and firmly.
The Soviet Union gave S75 long-range high-altitude air defense missiles, and China gave Hongqi-4 medium/low-altitude air defense missiles.The Cuban Revolutionary Army will send personnel to China and the Soviet Union for training.
The Premier, Li Xiannian and the delegation led by Che Guevara signed an economic and trade agreement between the two countries after three days of talks.Weapons China can give direct aid; another aid is some foreign exchange so that Cuba can buy food itself-Cuba is a food-deficient country; the rest is bilateral trade.
As I said just now, Cuba is a food-deficient country, so there is not much food to buy.According to the agreement, Cuba provides China with 40 tons of Cuban sugar and 2 tons of cocoa beans every year, and China mainly provides industrial products.
In fact, the production of coffee beans in Cuba is higher than that of cocoa beans, but the Chinese are still not used to drinking coffee.What's more, the coffee beans have been fully covered by the Soviet Union first-no matter how much the coffee plantations in Cuba produce, the Soviet Union will eat them all.
……
After the signing of the economic and trade agreement, Che Guevara met with the chairman.
"Although I am the president of the National Bank, the national treasury is empty," Che Guevara said. "Cuba still has two Canadian banks, either of which is richer than the National Bank. Unfortunately, we have not been able to transfer them. nationalization."
Chairman: "For other imperialist enterprises, it is possible to let them exist temporarily. It is strategically possible. We have also implemented such a policy before."
The conversation with the chairman about the bank is just these two sentences, Che Guevara is really not very interested in this...
"Cuba is the first Latin American country to win a revolution, so is there any difference in the domestic situation of different Latin American countries?" The chairman asked about the situation in Latin America.
"There are many countries in Latin America, but you can divide them into two or three categories," Che Guevara said, "Spanish, Portuguese, and areas that broke away from the influence of the two countries earlier. Now there are three countries in Latin America that are still at war. , Paraguay, Nicaragua and Guatemala.”
Chairman: "Recently the United States has now turned its finger on Guatemala and Nicaragua."
Che Guevara: "This has already happened, and I know what will happen: in Colombia and Peru, there is also the possibility of a people's revolution."
What surprised Che Guevara was that during the three hours of chatting with him, the chairman spent most of the time asking about the specific situation in Latin America.
Why are these countries divided into two or three categories?What are the characteristics of each of these different categories of countries?What are the main social contradictions in the rural areas of these areas?How did the so-called primitive communism in Peru originate and how did it exist?What is the reason why the serf system in Peru has continued to this day?Comrade Xiao Qie, you have personally been to Guatemala and Nicaragua. Do you think the wars in these two countries are people's wars?

On the other side of the ocean, the CIA is formulating a plan to intervene in Cuba, but just like the CIA's intervention plans for other countries, it is only making a plan, and whether it will be implemented depends on the president's decision.
However, in two months, the President of the United States will be replaced by John F. Kennedy.
In the duel between Nixon and Kennedy, Kennedy finally won with an advantage of 303:219.But when counting the number of people voting, Kennedy did not have such a big advantage, only 0.15% more than Nixon, about [-] votes.
When the results of the US presidential election were sent back to China, Tang Hua laughed after reading it.Same as the original history.The original historical plane had a slight advantage of 0.15%, and it is still 0.15% now.From the internal primaries of the Democratic Party, Kennedy's success, to the contest between the two powerhouses, everything is scripted.
"Now that the amount of grain purchased by various places this year has come out, it is not more than last year, on the contrary, it is 120 million tons less."
On Xue Muqiao's side, the National Bureau of Statistics has sorted out most of the basic data on agriculture, and the number of grain purchases is the most convenient to summarize. The preliminary data was obtained in November.
Chief Accountant: "According to the national agricultural output forecasting model, after this year's natural disaster parameters are substituted into it, this year's grain production is also slightly reduced, and the harvest of 120 million tons of grain is in line with the model's expectations."
Deng Zifei: "If there are too many grain purchases, something will happen."
Xue Muqiao: "The key depends on the food demand in the industry and the city. If the Ministry of Food can settle it, there will be no problem."
Tang Hua: "This year we bought 60 tons of corn and wheat from the United States, 40 tons more rice from Vietnam than last year, 80 tons from Indonesia, and 60 tons from Thailand. The Ministry has more grain in its hands than in 59, and this is not counting the effect of the technological upgrade of the grain storage system. This year, this hurdle should be passed.”
Another factor in 1960 was that the rate of urban population expansion was under control.
From 1950 to 1960, the urbanization rate in the first four years was slightly faster than the original history, and then it was slower than the original history.
According to the current statistical data, the urbanization rate is 18.81%, while the original historical plane is 19.75%.
19.75% is an abnormal peak. The urbanization rate began to drop in 1961. It fell sharply in 1963 and fell back to 16.84%. After that, it hovered at 17.X% for a long time, and it was not until 1979 that it exceeded the peak in 1960.
Although the urbanization rate is 18.81%, the industrial output value reached 1959 billion yuan in 1690. The growth rate of industrial output value this year may not be affected by the poor harvest of food, because the urban population expansion was planned to be extremely small at the beginning of the year. plan.
That is to say, most of the increase in industrial output value is achieved by optimizing the use of industrial population and improving labor production efficiency. This kind of growth does not consume food.
……
Tianjin.
Che Guevara came to China to inspect the industry, but he did not expect that the first city Tang Hua took him to visit was Tianjin, and the first factory he inspected was the Tianjin Rocket Factory.
Keep the accompanying reporters out and the low-level entourage of their delegation out, and Tang Hua and Che Guevara will add another interpreter.As long as you don't have a camera, neither the interpreter nor Che Guevara can analyze anything.
In the giant assembly workshop, a Dongfeng-5 missile and a Long March-3 carrier rocket have been manufactured and are undergoing segmental testing; behind these two huge objects, there is another Dongfeng-5 and a Long March-3 Assembling.
"This is the Dongfeng-5 missile. Compared with it, the Dongfeng-3 that China tested into the Pacific Ocean this year can only be regarded as a small guy," Tang Hua said. "The Dongfeng-5 can directly hit New York from the mainland of China; It can guarantee that hitting Fourth Avenue will never miss Fifth Avenue; its warhead is a hydrogen bomb, and after the explosion, it can destroy two-thirds of New York City."
“长征-3和东风-5的主体是基本一样的，但是它的用途是发射人造卫星，它可以把4到5吨的人造卫星发射上300公里高的近地轨道，并以7.9公里每秒的速度绕地球旋转。”
"Artificial satellites will allow a country to gain additional strategic advantages, such as intelligence, such as information support for long-range overseas operations; such as the precise positioning of warships and submarines. Ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads are China, the Soviet Union and the United States. The main tool of balance."
Che Guevara: ...
Touching his beard, Che Guevara didn't know what to say.
"If the US nukes China, then China will launch it into New York, and if the US invades the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will do the same, right?"
Tang Hua: "Yes."
Che Guevara: "What would happen to China and the Soviet Union if the United States invaded Cuba, or sent troops to intervene in Latin American countries undergoing popular revolutions?"
"China and the Soviet Union will provide moral and material aid to the invaded country and people, and do not even rule out the possibility of sending volunteers to assist the invaded country, just like we did in North Korea in 1950."
Che Guevara: "If the war in Latin America goes to a certain level, will there be a nuclear war between China, the Soviet Union and the United States? Will China's nuclear missiles also fly towards the United States?"
Tang Hua: "It's up to the President of the United States to guess."
Che Guevara: "It's called a game."
Tang Hua smiled and nodded.
……
"Sorry, the first stop of the inspection schedule did not allow you to see factories that are helpful to Cuba's industrial development. The places we go today may be a little different."
The second stop is still in Tianjin, the third industrial park in the south of the urban area, close to Huanghua.
"This is the product of this industrial park." Tang Hua picked up a disposable lighter from the end of the assembly line and threw it to Che Guevara. Just the wheel."
Che Guevara quickly learned to use a lighter, lit his cigar with a click, and looked at this small, transparent gas lighter: "It's such a beautiful little thing, it seems that my old lighter can be thrown away. "
Tang Hua: "I advise you not to throw it away. This lighter is only worth 25 cents."
Che Guevara took out his $10 Zippo, looked at the plastic gas lighter in the other hand, and fell into thought.
"And, we're going to bring it down to 20 cents ex-factory next year with the same profit margin."
Che Guevara: "Large-scale assembly lines, automated machines, and only a few operators are needed to run the factory."
