I didn't see the wrong angle at first, but now I can see that the mast is crooked.The flag of blue sky and white sun is hung on the mast.
The ship half sunk on the seabed was not an escorting destroyer, but an American-made tank landing ship.
Continue to approach Southwi Island.This time, Lian Changxian not only saw the appearance of the warship more clearly, but also saw the figure of a man on the warship, and there were low shacks on the island.
"Use searchlights, no, use semaphore to signal." Seeing this unbelievable scene, Lian Chang first thought that he should contact them first, "Indicate our identities, and then... then ask them about their intentions and ideas."
"Also, the medium-wave radio station sent a telegram to the base, requesting the Air Force to send two more planes to Nanwei Island. This time there will be radio guidance from surface warships."
……
Guangzhou, South China Sea Fleet Headquarters.
"What?! Remnants of the Kuomintang army?! Is there such a thing?" Commander Zhao Qiming now has two telegrams from the "Putian" frigate in his hands, with an interval of 10 minutes.
The first telegram reported that the remnants of the Kuomintang army were found on Nanwei Island. A landing ship was half sunk, and a frigate was floating but unable to start.
The second telegram reported that after they signaled with semaphore, the national army on Nanwei Island replied immediately, saying that they were warships that escaped from Kaohsiung Harbor during the Taiwan War in April 1953. They stayed here after getting lost and were willing to revolt or surrender. Or accept reorganization.
Zhao Qiming: "Immediately send a telegram back to Beijing to report the matter to the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff and the Sea Division."
The tropical showers in the afternoon have come to an end, and the temperature dropped slightly by one or two degrees, but the sun is still dazzling, and occasionally fish schools can be seen jumping up in the blue water of the South China Sea.
While waiting for a response for half an hour, the "Putian" cruised back and forth at low speed near Nanwei Island.
There are many coconut trees on Nanwei Island. Below the coconut trees are two rows of bungalows built with unknown materials. Now all the people in the bungalows have gone out to the open space. There are about a hundred people, and many of them are looking forward to the warships on the sea.
……
"Reporting sir, the surviving officers and soldiers of the destroyer "Taiyi" (formerly USS "Thomasson") of the Navy of the Republic of China and the landing ship "China Construction" have assembled in line. A total of 115 people are willing to put down their weapons and accept your honor. Army reorganization."
Zhang Delin, the captain of the destroyer "Taiyi", walked out of the queue and saluted.
The Republic of China navy officer's cap on Zhang Delin's head is fairly upright. Although it is a little worn out, its shape can still be seen.The ribs on the left and right sides of the jacket of the military uniform have collapsed, and the uniform has become two pieces of gray cloth fluttering in the wind.There are two holes at the knee of the pant leg.
As for Zhang Delin himself, his beard is about a foot long.
In fact, Zhang Delin's clothes are the neatest among the 115 people.About one-third of the national army officers and soldiers in the back were only wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts.
Lian Chang saluted first, glanced at the national army officers and soldiers lined up, and sighed.
……
"Two years, two full years," Zhang Delin asked the adjutant next to him, "Is it in the 42nd year of the Republic of China, April 4th, or April 15th?"
Feeling that resistance was hopeless, the morale of the national army and navy in Kaohsiung Harbor collapsed, and six warships fled Kaohsiung without authorization from the Ministry of Defense.On the way, 6 ship was sunk and 1 ship was damaged by our anti-ship missiles (later sank on the way), 1 destroyer successfully arrived in Manila, and the other 1 warships lost their way due to tropical storms, passed by the west of the Philippine island, and entered South China Sea.
While struggling in the South China Sea, another landing ship went missing.The rest are the destroyer "Taiyi" and the landing ship "China Construction" that have been sailing in formation.The two ships sailed to Nanwei Island in the middle of the night, and the landing ship "Zhongjian" ran aground near the island. The "Taiyi" could not leave at this time because it did not bring enough fresh water supplies, so it also broke down on Nanwei Island, and the officers and soldiers went ashore to make a living.
Not long after, the next typhoon in the South China Sea blew off the anchor chain of the "Taiyi" and ran aground on the shore. Since then, they were forced to settle on Nanwei Island.
"One month before we first arrived in Nanwei Island, we still used the radio to send reports and listen to channels, but after the second typhoon hit, all the radio stations were damaged."
"In the past two years, the surviving officers and soldiers of our two ships have reclaimed wasteland and planted potatoes and vegetables on the island," Zhang Delin introduced the situation to the commanders and fighters of our army who took over Nanwei Island. Canned food, two lifeboats and more than a dozen life rafts on the Taiyi were also dismantled, and they used these boats, self-made fishing rods and rope nets to catch fish on weekdays, and spent two years on the island like this.”
"This, uh, this," Zhang Delin said to Lian Changxian awkwardly in front of a small cell made of strong wooden slats, "The fishermen on the Vietnamese fishing boat we detained, let one or two crew members go back, let them Go back to Vietnam and pack hundreds of catties of rice in exchange for hostages."
Lian Chang first smiled at Zhang Delin, then shook his head, "When you get back to Guangzhou, you should still say that they are fishing illegally on Nanwei Island."
On the evening of June 1955, 6, the National Army Navy's drifting Nanwei Island troops announced an uprising and accepted reorganization.
But this is not the last remnant of the national army.On the Burmese side of the China-Myanmar border, there are still two or three remnants of the national army who crossed the border from China to Burma waiting to be resolved.
The announcement of the uprising by the drifting Nanwei Island troops also means that our army has once again taken over an island with a large natural land in the Nansha Islands.Considering the geographical location of Nanwei Island in the entire Nansha Islands, after the completion of the airport construction on Taiping Island and Yongxing Island, the construction of permanent military barracks buildings and a small airfield began on Nanwei Island.
The current navy cannot but pay attention to the Nansha Islands, because there is the Subic Naval Base here.In order to monitor the Philippines and the US warships that might appear in South Vietnam, under the embarrassing material conditions in the 50s, the islands in the Nansha Islands started construction and stationed troops one by one.When the U.S. Navy felt something was wrong and drove the South Vietnamese Navy to seize the Nansha islands and reefs, our army had already taken the initiative on the chessboard.
Chapter 89, The Law of Cockroaches
Tsinghua University.Physics Department Building.
A row of chairs on the grass, two rows of wooden tripods.
"Principal Jiang." "Mr. Zhao, hello, hello, please sit down first."
Principal Jiang Nanxiang and Director Zhao Zhongyao sat side by side in the middle, and Qian Sanqiang sat in the adjacent chair.
It’s another batch of graduates sending off—the 55th graduates of the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University held a graduation ceremony today, and took graduation photos here as a souvenir.
"San Qiang, this year's students majoring in nuclear physics are still next to us, let's get closer." Zhao Zhongyao said, "After graduation, it will not be easy to meet them."
"Still the same as last year?"
Qian Sanqiang nodded and understood:
"Students, take our three old men as the nucleus, nuclear physics majors are in S orbitals, laser physics majors, and quantum physics majors are in P orbitals, and Hundt rules."
Hearing what Qian Sanqiang said, the students suddenly agreed to sit or stand around the three of them.
In 1955, the second year of the launch of China's nuclear program.
Seventeen graduates from Peking University and 17 graduates from Tsinghua University joined the scientific research and engineering team of nuclear engineering.
At the Institute of Atomic Energy, the test reactor aided by the Soviet Union will install uranium fuel rods in July and is expected to start operation for the first time in September-October.
Based on the test reactor aided by the Soviet Union, Qian Sanqiang led the research team, took the Soviet blueprints and real reactors as reference, and combined with his own previous research on reactor principles, designed a second improved test reactor and a plutonium production reactor.
In Baotou, Lanzhou and other cities along the Northwest Railway, Tang Hua has planned seven industrial zones for nuclear facilities.
The self-made experimental reactors are still placed around Beijing.After the successful construction of a test reactor with self-made parts, the construction of the third reactor, the plutonium production reactor, was started. The first plutonium production reactor was located in Lanzhou.
Baotou and Lanzhou each have a uranium enrichment plant, but Baotou will be built first.At present, the hydrofluoric acid/fluorine gas plant has been constructed, and the equipment of the uranium hexafluoride production plant is being tackled by Harbin.Even the core of the gas diffusion plant - the gas diffusion machine, has also arranged for Shanghai to carry out research and development.
This is two-handed preparation, assuming a worst-case scenario: the Soviet Union has never made up its mind to assist China in building a nuclear industry system, and China will also launch nuclear weapons, at most a few years later.
Most of the graduates of the 54th class of Peking University and Tsinghua University were arranged in the Institute of Atomic Energy Sciences, research institutes and test facilities around Beijing. When the 55th session joined, the nuclear engineering system was not only located around Beijing, but also marched into the northwest desert.
"Mr. Zhao, Tang Hua didn't come this year." Qian Sanqiang said, "Many students said they wanted to see Dean Tang, and they have been asking me sideways these days."
Zhao Zhongyao: "Changchun Fiber Optic Factory has been put into operation, and there are some important national defense projects in Shenyang, so Tang Hua went to Shenyang after the inauguration ceremony of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he couldn't make it back before graduation."
Qian Sanqiang let out an oh.
Qian Sanqiang also knew that in July, there would be new developments in Qian Xuesen's rocket project. At that time, Tang Hua and Qian Xuesen watched the second kick on the Inner Mongolia prairie.
...Qian Xuesen planned out the rocket and ballistic missile projects for the next 5 or even 10 years, and formulated a precise road map.
The medium and long-term planning of nuclear engineering... There are still options 1 and 2, and it is uncertain which way to go (see the Soviet Union).
