"Since modern times, most of the foreign aggressions that China has suffered have come from the sea. This is why we have to develop the navy to consolidate coastal defense. The Chinese navy is building and moving forward to defend China's security in the sea. No matter where the Chinese warships sail , not to conquer any region or country, but to defend ourselves.”

At 1 pm on January 15th, after a 6-hour flight, the Li-9 flew from Xinjiang to Xi'an.The plane circled in the sky, found the runway, and landed steadily.
Tang Hua made a special trip to pick up Chen Nengkuan at the airport from Fufeng, more than 70 kilometers away, in a jeep.
"Chen Nengkuan, Chen Nengkuan, I may have to tell you to be Nengkuan." Tang Hua supported Chen Nengkuan's shoulder with one hand, and poked Chen Nengkuan with the other, "Didn't you say that it would be fine to let two confidential officers bring the hard disk over, but you still Flying over. Nie Shuai revealed the inside information to me, and it was you who volunteered to come to Xi'an randomly with information."
Chen Nengkuan: "Everyone in the base thinks that a key personnel should be sent to Xi'an to cooperate with you. Then I am the youngest over there. Let me do this kind of dangerous work, so I applied for me to bring the materials. come over."
Tang Hua: ...
Where is he the youngest?That's right, Chen Nengkuan was born in 1923, the same year as Tang Hua...

January 1th was a day of excitement throughout China.The headlines of major newspapers in the morning carried news, announcing the success of China's nuclear test in a high-profile manner, and emphasizing that China's nuclear test was to break the nuclear monopoly of imperialism, so that imperialism could no longer threaten China with nuclear blackmail.
The TV show on the night of January 1th was the one that exploded -- really exploded.It's a pity that only Beijing TV broadcasted it, and the film was flown back to Beijing from Lop Nur, just in time for the evening news.Shanghai, Shenyang, and Changchun haven't got the video yet, so they can only wait for the program on the evening of the 15th.
Also on this day, Khrushchev sent a congratulatory message congratulating China on the successful atomic bombing.
January 1 was a bad day for India.
News of the successful atomic bomb explosion in New Delhi appeared in newspapers today. The newspapers controlled by the Congress Party maintained a very calm tone, saying that China had successfully exploded the atomic bomb, and, combined with Chinese bombers and ballistic missiles, the United States is now in Japan, South Korea and the United States. All Philippine military garrisons may be subject to a Chinese nuclear strike.
The report did not say what kind of threat the atomic bomb might pose to India, nor did it assume that New Delhi or Mumbai were massed by Chinese missiles.However, the story was on the front page of the newspaper.
In the past few days, Indian newspapers have been reporting that the Indian President ordered the cessation of the offensive, reached a bilateral ceasefire with the Chinese army and disengaged news.
Members of Congress know that India must not be able to beat China now, and the more it loses, the more it loses.But if you know it, you know that it is not so easy for the congressmen who have held a tough attitude in the previous dialogue to change their attitudes.I used to speak in Congress every day to declare war, but now I suddenly say "Oh, I also think peace is good", isn't this a slap in the face.
China's nuclear test not only gave Nehru a step up, but more importantly, it gave these face-saving congressmen a step up, giving them a reason to change their minds.
……
"The Chinese side has always given extremely lenient and friendly treatment to all Indian military personnel who were captured in attacks against Chinese border guards in December 1959 and January 12, even exceeding the requirements of the Geneva Convention."
"The life of the captured Indian soldiers has been arranged and taken care of under the best local material conditions. Their religious beliefs and ethnic habits have been respected, and they enjoy the convenience of communication and electricity with their families. The wounded and sick received timely rescue and effective treatment.”
"In order to show sincerity, China has released nearly 11000 captured Indian military personnel and allowed them to reunite with their family and friends as soon as possible without India's positive response to China's ceasefire and negotiation request. They are still stranded in China We also promise to repatriate more than [-] prisoners of the Indian army in the territory at an appropriate time."
"Out of the sincere wish of China-India friendship, the Chinese government has given the captive Indian soldiers lenient, friendly treatment and convenience, which is unprecedented."
At the United Nations General Assembly, the Chinese representative disclosed the operational details of the self-defense counterattack against India, and once again clarified China's proposition.
The Indian representative at the United Nations has been screaming anxiously since December 12, attacking China for invading Indian territory every meeting.
But today the Chinese representative responded to the question of the International Red Cross.
"We have repeatedly applied to enter the southern Tibet area where China and India are at war to rescue soldiers and civilians injured in the war, but the Chinese side has rejected our request every time. I do not understand this. There is no International Red Cross Without the participation of the Communist Party of China, there is bound to be a humanitarian catastrophe in the war zone."
The International Red Cross criticized China for denying them entry.
Chinese Representative: "Mr. Representative, the Red Cross Society of China participated in the front-line medical treatment, rescue and humanitarian relief during the self-defense counterattack against India. In the current southern Tibet area, within the control area of China, both soldiers and civilians have Basic medical care resources and living conditions can also be guaranteed.”
"In addition, the Red Cross Society of China has also maintained normal contact with the Red Cross Society of India. Under such circumstances, of course, there is no need to bring in a third party to do any work."
The International Committee of the Red Cross did not do any good during the Korean War. Although the chairman of the International Committee of the Red Cross has changed, who knows if the concepts of their upper echelons have been completely changed.Put them in southern Tibet, do nothing, but go back to add oil and vinegar to smear, isn't it just asking for trouble.
……
New Delhi.
"Mr. Prime Minister, long time no see."
The Chinese ambassador to India, Pan Zili, met Nehru, and the first sentence he said was greetings, but the greetings also had deep meanings.Since December, Pan Zili has submitted the note countless times, but he, Nehru, just refused to come out to meet him.
Nehru: "..."
"After our country took the initiative to cease fire, your country also announced the cessation of military operations and kept the two armies at a safe distance, easing the tension on the border, which provided the basic conditions for further dialogue between China and India," Pan Zili said. "Here, our country solemnly invites Mr. Prime Minister to start a dialogue with our Prime Minister again at the right time and at the right place."
Nehru: "As long as your country refrains from provocation and detente continues on the borders, the basis for dialogue will always exist."
"We have never provoked your country," Pan Zili corrected Nehru's statement, "but you are right, the basis for dialogue already exists, but the most important thing China and India should do now is to make the détente more serious." Further, this calls for dialogue to begin as soon as possible, not just to preserve the possibility of dialogue."
"I know that Khrushchev is trying his best to mediate between us and you, and it is he who strongly suggested that Zhou and I hold a meeting. The meeting can use the Soviet Union as an intermediary, but now I insist that the meeting cannot be held within the territory of the Soviet Union." Nehru Said, "And, of course, it can't be done in China."
Pan Zili: "Then we can choose to talk in the GDR, Romania, Hungary, or Poland."
Nehru nodded, acquiescing to the statement. "Also," said Nehru, "the timing of your country's atomic bombing, I can only say, was just right."
Pan Zili: "China's nuclear test is not a threat to India. We only want to promote the restoration of peace between China and India as soon as possible. In addition, Mr. Nehru, I may need to inform you of some things."
Nehru: "What is it?"
Pan Zili: "What will happen in the next period of time. If it happens, you, as well as the top Indian officials, don't think too much about it."
"India will not be afraid, nor will it have excessive associations. What is it?"
"In short... none of these things are against India, believe it or not, I want to emphasize that it is not against India."
Chapter 3, the equivalent is not less than 10 tons!
After the talks between Pan Zili and Nehru, the pace of exchanging views and discussing details between China and India has accelerated.
This is a necessary step before the talks between the prime ministers of the two countries. It is impossible for the two prime ministers to enter the meeting with two blank sheets of paper. That would be too inefficient, and the final result would not be discussed for days and nights, and it would be easy to fight in the middle.For any sincere talks, the two sides will communicate in advance, the general direction is almost set, and the prime minister will meet to discuss one or two points that are still controversial, or some details.
As for the location of the meeting, it was determined that it would not take much trouble, and it was chosen in the Polish port city of Gdansk.
——Sino-Indian Treaty of Gdansk?Treaty of Danzig?
Before the self-defense counterattack against India, India once wore the following aura:
India is the initiator of the Non-Aligned Movement (although the slogan is a copy of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence proposed by the Prime Minister of the Bandung Conference in 1955), and is preparing to hold the first meeting of leaders of non-aligned countries;
The Soviet Union praised India as a "giant that is advancing on the road to socialism";
The United States praised India as "the showcase of Western democracy and freedom", a label Eisenhower just put on last month;
As for Nehru himself, he was previously hailed as a representative figure against colonialism and imperialism.
Now, the changes in the halo on India are:
Because the military trade and military cooperation agreement signed with the United States is too naked (the conditions proposed by the United States are much harsher than those of the Soviet Union), it is doubtful whether India is now engaged in the Non-Aligned Movement;
The Soviet Union did not say that India was taking the road of socialism. It first criticized India’s expansionism, and now it criticized India’s ambiguous relationship with the United States, asking whether India wanted to be an agent of imperialism;
The United States... The United States is very specific, and its evaluation of India has not changed.
Nehru himself, in the eyes of the preparatory countries of the Non-Aligned Movement, he is still a representative figure against colonialism and imperialism, but his combat effectiveness is too poor.
