The Minister of Defense and the Minister of Medium-sized Machinery Manufacturing Industry were on the same front, obliquely criticizing Khrushchev's proposals for US-Soviet reconciliation and arms limitation.
Marshal Malinowski: "In any case, even if we do not expand the production of nuclear weapons, there should be one or two nuclear tests as a response to the French nuclear test."
"It sounds like you are criticizing the national policy adopted collectively by the Central Presidium?" Khrushchev knocked on the table more forcefully than before, "Really?"
……
Cold field.
"Then let me tell you," Khrushchev raised his head, "Nikita will never be without backhands. The tricks of the French have long been within my expectations."
Crowd: ?
"China," said Khrushchev, "in 1954 and 1956 we sold reactors and nuclear plants to China. Now China is ready for all nuclear tests. On January 1th they will explode their own If the first atomic bomb is successful, the two camps will not be three against one, but three against two."
The venue of the bureau meeting was buzzing with various voices.
"These are all the things I did to overcome all opinions and provided all kinds of support to China in the past few years, which contributed to the situation!" Khrushchev added.
The presidium members at the scene continued to whisper to each other for a small meeting, but the atmosphere became more relaxed.What Khrushchev said...is indeed a countermeasure of the socialist camp, and it is quite effective.
Only Belvushin, the Minister of Medium-sized Machinery Manufacturing Industry and Vice-Chairman of the Council of Ministers, quietly "hummed" in the corner.

Wallong. January 1.
At 04:30 in the afternoon, when the sun went down, the battle of Hualong ended successfully.
The terrain of Walong is actually very bad. There is a long canyon and a river at the bottom of the valley. The current is so fast that it is almost unnavigable. There are only poor dirt roads on both sides of the river.
In this canyon, there are several villages and towns from north to south, including Shama, Gahe, Waza, and Walong, but the distance from Walong to the south is about 20 kilometers, and it is a barren canyon without villages and towns.
On December 12, the Indian army mobilized nearly 31 people and set off from Tezu to Warong to regain the village "stolen" by the Chinese army.
Sure enough, the Chinese army in Warong only had about 500 people.The 200th Battalion of the Indian Army's Kumaang Unit and the [-]rd Battalion of the Gurkha Unit fired more than [-] shells at Walong with howitzers, and then attacked cautiously. The Chinese army retreated to Waza after resisting for a while.
In Waza, the Indian army repeated the offensive routine again. The shelling was still at a similar density, and the offensive troops were replaced by the fourth battalion of the Douglas United and the fourth battalion of the Sikh United.The Chinese army resisted for a while, then retreated again.
Occupying Wazah, the day's fighting was over. On the night of January 1, the Indian army was divided into two groups and camped in Walong and Wazah.
In the early morning of January 1, our army launched a counterattack against the Indian army interspersed at night.The valley in the Warong area is very narrow, but the two battalions of the 4th Regiment actually walked quietly from 388 meters outside the Indian army camp, interspersed between Warong and Waza, and south of Warong.
During the daytime on January 1, the Indian army found itself facing both recoilless guns and rocket launchers firing from the mountains on both sides, as well as Chinese infantry surrounded by front and back.
The Indian army divided into two parts could not support each other. On the morning of January 1, the Indian army in Waza Village was annihilated. On the afternoon of January 5, the Indian army in Warong was wiped out.
"As of 1 p.m. on January 6, our army has taken in a total of 6 Indian prisoners and 1024 corpses from the Indian army's battlefield," the head of the 540th regiment sent a report to the rear headquarters. "Our troops are still arresting them in the mountains. The scattered and fled Indian army, it is estimated that by tomorrow day, the number of Indian prisoners captured by our side will increase.”
"The captured Lieutenant Colonel Chamoor of the [-]rd Battalion of the Gurkha Unit, Singh, the Commander of the [-]th Battalion of the Sikh Unit, and the rest of the battalion-level officers of the Indian Army are still being investigated."
"Six 88mm howitzers, 6 mortars, and 41 recoilless guns were captured in battle. The number of seized firearms and bullets is being counted."
The Battle of Warong was basically the last battle of the Indian Fourth Army.Of the 4.4 divisions of the Fourth Army's two divisions that have been put into combat, 2.8 have been wiped out so far.
Among them, the fourth division was basically wiped out, leaving only the left behind troops and transport logistics troops in the plain area; the second division lost more than 8000 people. There were only two infantry battalions left to fight.
……
"...By the evening of January 1, all the troops on the whole line were on the defensive, except for the frontier troops near Warong who cleared and cleaned the battlefield. According to the decision announced by the Chinese government, our Tibet border troops From 6:1 noon on January 7, all troops on the front line will cease fire on time."
"The purpose of the Chinese border guards' voluntary ceasefire is to avoid the long-term intensification and complexity of the Sino-Indian border struggle, and to create conditions for the peaceful settlement of the Sino-Indian border issue, which is in the fundamental interests of the Chinese and Indian peoples."
"I hereby inform and solemnly remind the Indian side not to undermine the initiative of the Chinese border guards to cease fire, whether it is in southern Tibet or the Aksai Chin area on the Sino-Indian border. I also hope that the Indian side will respond to China's proactive measures." Positive response."
Although China's official announcement was broadcast to India on a high-power radio station, there may not be many ordinary Indians who have heard the news on their radios.Beginning on January 1, civilians in eastern India, especially the propertied class, began to flee frantically.
The influx of refugees first started from the Indian civilians who entered southern Tibet for farming in recent years, and then the cities in Assam near the front line of the battle—Tezpur, Itanagar, and West Rapatar. The roads out of the cities are crowded Automobiles, horse-drawn carts and rickshaws.
The refugee wave in Tespur headed westward. When they passed Narbari and Banggaegaon, the local citizens first watched the excitement, but when they inquired about the news casually, they were immediately frightened:
10 Chinese troops have rushed over the Himalayas and are rushing towards the Assam Plain!There are 50 Chinese troops waiting to invade!The Chinese are about to occupy the entire territory of Assam!
It didn't take long for the residents of Narbari and Banggaegaon to join the ranks of fleeing. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division and the 23rd Division of the Indian Army stationed in these two places looked at each other in blank dismay. , Some officers and soldiers secretly took off their military uniforms and wanted to flee.
……
New Delhi.
"The social order in eastern India has completely collapsed," said a member of parliament from eastern India. "In three days, the first batch of 200 million refugees will flood into the Siliguri Corridor, and they will completely block traffic routes. , even if we want to reinforce, it is impossible for any troops to move east!"
"This phenomenon must be stopped and refugees must be prevented from passing through the Siliguri Corridor!"
"The only way to stop the influx of refugees into the Siliguri Corridor is to announce to the people that China and India will officially cease fire on January 1960, 1." A congressman said, "China has announced a ceasefire at noon on this day. If we also Stop military action, then it will be considered a tacit truce."
"A truce..." "You guys are..."
"We're here for a truce. Is there a problem, Mr. Congressman?" asked the Lord's Congressman. "Do you think we should attack, attack, attack China?"
……
Strait of Malacca.
"By bypassing Singapore, do we count as entering the Indian Ocean?"
"No, the dividing line between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean is at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca. We are still in the Pacific Ocean waters. We will not enter the Indian Ocean until our visit to Port Klang ends and we sail northwest."
This is the first time the new Chinese navy has entered the Indian Ocean.
由“重庆”号巡洋舰领头，111舰、112舰两艘56型驱逐舰、105、106两艘基林级驱逐舰，801号补给舰，再加上苏联海军来捧场的气氛组成员“苏萨宁”号支援舰。
In fact, the "Susanin" is not the atmosphere group, it is the most important ship in the entire formation.Only it is equipped with three Ka-15 search and rescue helicopters. Without it, the warheads of Dongfeng-3 would not be salvageable.
The No. 801 supply ship is an 11000-ton freighter temporarily pulled together. It took only one month for Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard to refit it and install the simplest longitudinal refueling equipment, which can refuel destroyers underway.
"Wow, Chinese warships, Chinese warships!"
On the shore of Port Klang, Zhang Jialiang, the owner of the rubber factory, climbed onto the roof of his house and watched the 111 and 112 ships slowly entering the port. "Cub! You know a lot, what kind of warships are these two?"
"These two are Chinese warships."
Zhang Jialiang: ...
When the Chongqing ship sailed into Port Klang, the British onlookers at the port let out screams.
"Goddess of Dawn!" "I didn't expect that the silver devil is still galloping on the ocean!" "I almost forgot if I didn't mention the name, K Fleet!"
"It is also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, which are said to be the most efficient anti-aircraft missiles available today."
