Tang Hua: "Of course, this is also one of the resources you need to develop color picture tubes. The Electronic Information Bureau and the Ministry of Heavy Industry will do their best to ensure the collection of the technical information you need. Well, that's the color TV set."

……

Wang Shoujue: "Minister Tang, what is the long-term goal of the liquid crystal display system?"

The day before, Tang Hua laid out the research and development system and production system of the liquid crystal display system. The factory planning of the production system stretches from Shanghai to Jiangsu and then to Anhui. The main factories have plans for the first, second and third phases of the project. Incredible.

"If we talk about the long-term plan, the liquid crystal display system will eliminate the color TV we just discussed." Tang Hua said, "but that may be 15 or even 20 years later."

Wang Shoujue: ...

"Minister Tang, Director Li," the correspondent stood at the door, "Guangzhou Canton Fair Director Wei sent a telegram to report yesterday's situation."

Tang Hua read the telegram.The Canton Fair not only reported yesterday's situation, but the director who was familiar with the business also made some suggestions.

"Everyone," Tang Hua said, "the C60 computer was unveiled at the Canton Fair yesterday, and it was very popular. You guessed it right before, the game is very popular. Director Wei made a suggestion that it is better to create a computer with a single function. It is a machine that can only play games but not scientific calculations. It is sold cheaper than computers, and it is specially used for playing games. This Director Wei is so powerful. If there is a chance, I think I can catch him in Huawei or the Electronic Information Office.”

Li Qiang: "This is indeed a big business opportunity. Moreover, this game console is not aimed at a few enterprises and scientific research institutions, but it can enter the home. The market potential is thousands or even ten thousand times higher than that of computers. But to If you want to enter the family, you must lower the price to the limit that American families can afford."

Xie Xide: "If you want to reduce the cost, you can only use integrated circuits. Thousands of tiny transistors are assembled manually. Now, the overall cost is not as good as designing a few chips for it. But we can't give it to the United States now. human chip."

Tang Hua didn't speak for now, waiting for everyone sitting here to discuss.

Li Qiang pointed out that the price of game consoles should be compared with the income of American households, which means that the price of game consoles will plummet. At this time, its manufacturing cost must be considered.

Mi Sixian of Huawei also participated in the discussion, because the cost price of the display equipped with the game console is also very important now.

"Everyone, let me make a small patch to Li Qiang's prediction," Tang Hua said, "There is still a transitional stage before game consoles enter the home, the game hall."

The game consoles in the game hall can be more expensive. After all, they are shared by multiple people and the utilization rate is high. It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher. It is enough for the people who open the game hall to recover the cost and make a profit in about a year.

"There is another prediction, and that is that Americans may gradually realize in the next few years that integrated circuits are the development direction of semiconductors in the future."

After Tang Hua finished speaking, Xie Xide spoke first: "No way, they can find their way so quickly?"

Guangzhou, Canton Fair.

Brzezinski and Kissinger spent two days at the Canton Fair, saw enough information, and returned with a full load.

This Canton Fair, the product samples it displays are also retailed...

"It's a pity that we managed to enter China, but we can only operate within the scope of Guangzhou City," Brzezinski said. "At first, I wanted to go deep into the interior of China to do a superficial investigation."

Kissinger: "That's enough. We can get a lot of information just by doing research in Guangzhou."

Kissinger, the executive director of Harvard University's Center for International Studies, is 35 years old and already well-known in the international strategy circle. He proposed the balance of power theory when studying the history of European diplomacy in the 19th century.Now he is thinking about how to allow the United States to gain the initiative in diplomacy and international strategy in the Cold War environment.

Brzezinski is 5 years younger than Kissinger and is a researcher at the Center for Russian Studies at Harvard University.His basic point of view on current international diplomacy is: the mission of the United States is to kill the Soviet Union.He is originally Polish, and his parents were Polish diplomats. When he lived in Canada with his parents in 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany divided Poland, and Brzezinski became an American citizen later.

Kissinger and Brzezinski and the two centers often conduct academic exchanges.In recent years, there has been much agreement between the two research centers.The first of which is: From 1950 to the present, although the United States has achieved great economic development, economic prosperity, and active financial markets, in terms of diplomatic strategy, the United States and NATO have always been on the defensive, and rarely actively initiate attacks on the socialist camp. attack.

Many American think tanks and societies believe that this is because the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb in 1949 and formed a nuclear balance with the United States.

Kissinger and Brzezinski consulted and studied all the documents and materials since 1950, and concluded that the United States was unable to attack, not because the Soviet Union possessed the atomic bomb, but because China and the Soviet Union formed an alliance.

In February 1950, the Sino-Soviet alliance was formally formed, and then North Korea took the initiative to attack South Korea. This was obviously because of the double support of the two major powers behind it, which gave North Korea courage.

The United States intervened in the Korean War, turned from defense to offense, and when it was about to kill North Korea, China took action. In the next two years, the United States was defeated in the Korean battlefield.

Afterwards, China took over Taiwan, and in 1954, the Indochinese Peninsula ceased fighting, the Geneva Peace Treaty was signed, and the hot war in East Asia and Southeast Asia disappeared in an instant.The bamboo curtain has not been moved for 5 years, and the Chinese border around them is more stable than the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in Eastern Europe - in Eastern Europe, NATO tentatively picked things twice in 1953 and 1956.

……

The two not only came to the conclusion that "the Sino-Soviet alliance led to a strategic stalemate", but also re-examined the previous understanding of the Sino-Soviet alliance by high-level US officials.

In February 1950, high-level Americans believed that the biggest trouble for the Sino-Soviet alliance was that the most populous country would form an alliance with the country with the second largest industrial output in the world, and the socialist camp would gain unprecedented war potential.

But so far, this prediction has proven to be incorrect.

There is no "Soviet Armed Chinese Army" to replace the Soviet Army deployed in Eastern Europe. Even China announced its reduction to 1954 million in 240. Now China's army is less than the Soviet Union with a population of 1.7 million.

China and the Soviet Union cooperated in other forms.Now, in the phalanx of the Soviet Red Square military parade, Chinese missiles are installed on the warships sailing in the Black Sea. In China’s National Day military parade, Soviet-style heavy tanks are running on the ground, and MiGs are flying in the sky.

And computers, this is not a weapon, but everyone knows that the Soviet Union and China have high-performance computers that are not available in the market.

From 1953 to the present, China and the Soviet Union have carried out strategic cooperation in this unexpected way to enhance each other's strength.

"Counting, we have walked three blocks in Guangzhou, and we have seen five large construction sites," Kissinger said, "I don't know that Guangzhou is opposite Hong Kong, and the huge trade volume has promoted the city's development." Prosperity, or are these changes happening in all of China's big cities. If it's the latter, the situation is too shocking."

Brzezinski: "China is a country with a socialist system, and the benefits brought by Guangzhou's huge trade volume are controlled by the state's finances. Even if the use of the benefits is slightly inclined to Guangzhou, the inclination is relatively limited."

Kissinger: "The latter, then."

Brzezinski: "Several major Chinese official newspapers can be bought in Hong Kong. Like the CIA, we regularly buy newspapers in Hong Kong...China will announce the industrial and agricultural production of last year at the beginning of each year. According to the newspaper growth rate, it is likely that the provincial capitals in eastern China are developing as well as Guangzhou.”

Kissinger: "I am also reading these newspapers. China's current industrial output value is 1.75 times that of agricultural output value. According to some standards, it is already an industrial country. However, whether this standard is correct is questionable."

"And China's industrial level is not far behind. Have you seen the report that France and Germany have recently purchased China's full cycle urea production patent?"

Kissinger: "Yes."

Brzezinski: "President Eisenhower decided to exchange national exhibitions with the Soviet Union to show that the Soviet Union and the United States gave up all-out confrontation and moved towards peaceful competition. Military pressure, and even increased military pressure on the Soviet Union."

Kissinger: "There are many congressmen in Washington who share your view. However, reconciliation with China will increase China's industrial strength more quickly."

"What is more important than fighting against China is fighting against the Soviet Union...China has a population of 6 million people, and people on Wall Street have estimated that China may have a large trade surplus with the West. This is not unusual. Look at the Canton Fair in the past two days , China’s industrial product exhibition hall is already larger than the agricultural product hall. They have enough purchasing power to digest our industrial and agricultural products. This means that the US economy will benefit from reconciliation with China.”

……

Brzezinski's resentment towards the Soviet Union exists in the hearts of many American politicians. These people formed a "Russia Party" that lasted into the 21st century. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated and Russia did not move for 30 years, the Russia Party still advocated comprehensive containment and suppression of Russia.

In the 20s, the Russo Party was more powerful than it is today. When the United States and the Soviet Union came into contact in 50, Eisenhower had to repeatedly explain to Congress when he met with Khrushchev that we were feinting, and that the current government and the Soviet Union were still at odds, but we had to adopt a more tortuous method to win.

Another major event in April 1959: the U-4 incident caused widespread controversy within the United States.

The same thing, the Russian Party believes that this shows that the US’s policy of maintaining a high degree of hostility with China was wrong before, diverting US military power and national energy, but achieving nothing; moreover, the US wants China to inherit the debts of the Republic of China and return them to China It is simply a short-sighted behavior for the interests of the United States.

Another group of people explained: This just shows that China is as dangerous as the Soviet Union, or even more dangerous than the Soviet Union.You see, our U-2 reconnaissance of the Soviet Union dozens of times, the Soviets did not shoot down once; reconnaissance of China five times, the plane was shot down.Moreover, China's maritime geography is much superior to that of the Soviet Union. If the blockade against China is lifted, China is likely to expand its sphere of influence while engaging in maritime trade, and the trouble will be even greater at that time.

The quarrel was fruitless, and the debate between the two factions soon stopped: because the family members of the captured pilots were very sad and angry when they were interviewed by the TV station, and the U.S. Air Force also called for the start of Sino-US talks as soon as possible to get the pilot back. On April 4, Eisenhower officially sent a letter to the Chinese embassy: willing to restart the high-level talks between the two countries to resolve the impact of the U-23 incident.

Chapter 218, we don’t need to talk about Kalimpong today

On April 1959, 4, the new US Secretary of State Christian Herter received Gu Weijun.

The two did not talk about too many substantive issues, but they reached an agreement on one thing: China and the United States will arrange a formal meeting between Herter and the Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Chen in a certain country within one month. meeting.
