The Korean War was completely over. Eisenhower made several big moves to boost the economy. At the beginning of 1954, the U.S. economy got rid of the influence of the Korean War and showed a strong upward momentum. The economy and the stock market were very hot. The Song family moved to the U.S. Do some investment, even if these few are not investment masters, the total family assets will increase from 6800 million to 8500 million.
到1954年底，宋霭龄孔祥熙夫妇资产3600万美元——虽然没有中情局控诉的7000万美元之数，但逃美时这俩身家也近3000万了；宋子文资产1800万美元；宋美龄1700万美元；宋子安800万美元；宋子良600万美元。
If Song Ziwen and Song Meiling hadn't put a lot of gold, US dollars and jewelry in Taiwan and were laughed at by Nan Hanchen, their assets would be much more.
The bad news is that the U.S. government has no intention of reusing them, and is even wary of them.
"It is impossible for the United States to admit that your family institution is the Chinese government in exile," the CIA liaison officer said bluntly to Song Ailing, "I will only say one thing. If you admit that you are the Chinese government, then you will have to bear the responsibility of the previous loan to China by the United States." , outstanding $14.76 billion in debt, are you willing?"
Of course I don't want to.In this way, the Song family's money will be taken away by the United States.
According to statistics at the end of June 1953, there were more than 6 survivors of the Republic of China who voluntarily sought refuge in Okinawa from Taipei and lived in refugee camps. The US government prohibited the Song family from going to Okinawa to "lead" these survivors.In the past year, the United States has gradually diverted these survivors or refugees to various places, and now there are less than 48 left in Okinawa.
Of the six warships that broke out from Kaohsiung during the Taiwan Campaign, an escort destroyer finally arrived in Manila, Philippines. The United States prohibited the Song family from commanding this warship.The officers and men on board were dismissed, and the warship was transferred to the Philippine Navy.
Since it was not a government-in-exile, the Song family only received a special subsidy of US$40 per year.This is simply an insult - my Song family is a wealthy family with a total asset of nearly [-] million.
The 40 US dollars is still the operating fund of the "China Issues Research Association" established by the Song family. The chairman Song Ziwen has been holding back for more than a year, and the result is the book "China is about to collapse".
Needless to say, the English version of this book sold very well in the United States, and Song Ziwen received more than US$1 in royalties.
……
Tang Hua couldn't laugh or cry after knowing that the book was very popular in the United States.Since someone is taking on the role of the Strategic Deception Bureau, of course they are welcome.
Another feeling is that the brothers and sisters of the Song family really have a lot of money-the information delivered by the embassy speculates on the assets of these people, and the number is indeed not small.Of course, they were all transferred out of the country by stealing and plundering.
Feeling sorry for the assets of the Song family, Tang Hua put the matter aside.
The news of the discovery of a large oil field in the Bohai Sea was not announced to the public, neither the People's Daily nor China Central Radio said a word about it.
But in the State Planning Commission and various Ministry of Industry and Agriculture, the news of the big oil field is notified internally.
The impact and shock brought about by this internal report were not expected by many people before.
It is not the inspiring news that "China has oil", but it is clearly written in the internal bulletin: with the help of high-performance computers and the new "finite element analysis" calculation method, Li Siguang was first in Beijing. The office confirmed that there is a large oil field at the mouth of the Yellow River, and then went to drill a few wells, and sure enough one of the wells gushed out a huge amount of oil and gas.
Therefore, for the various industrial and agricultural departments of the State Council, computers and finite element analysis methods have become powerful high-tech methods that are effective once tried.
……
On December 12, the State Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Yellow River Planning Committee, and the Soviet expert group jointly held a seminar on Yellow River planning and the Sanmenxia Project.
After the water of the Yellow River rushes through Jiuqu in the Hetao area, it passes through Huashan Mountain, descends to Tongguan and Shanxian County, and is blocked by the Taihang Mountains. and "Ghost Gate", hence the name Sanmenxia.
This section of the Yellow River has a large drop, which theoretically contains a lot of hydropower and hydropower resources.
The river bed of Sanmenxia and the mountains on both sides are almost a whole piece of complete granite foundation. The dams built here are particularly strong, and they are not afraid of earthquakes or any natural disasters, and even nuclear weapons cannot destroy them.
Based on these two points, the Soviet expert group believed that if water conservancy projects were to be built on the Yellow River, Sanmenxia was the best place to build a dam.
In May 1953, China and the Soviet Union unanimously recognized the place Sanmenxia. In April 5, the Yellow River Committee began to compile the "Technical and Economic Report on the Comprehensive Utilization of the Yellow River", and the Sanmenxia Project was identified as the first key project of this plan.
Now, the planning report of the Sanmenxia project is in the stage of technical discussion.
Lin Zhengying, vice minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, prepared a very long report, which was the conclusion she reached after half a year of investigation and research, and more than a week of back and forth calculations on the TC54 supercomputer.
"In the first edition of the planning report, it has been mentioned that the Sanmenxia project has two more difficult problems to be solved. One is how to solve the 60 resettlers, and the other is how to deal with the upstream sediment."
"For the second problem, the original solution was to hold back sand and store water, because the dam of Sanmenxia Reservoir is 350 meters high and has a total storage capacity of 360 billion cubic meters. cubic meters. Even if all the sediment from the Yellow River is intercepted, the Sanmenxia Project can still work normally for 15 to 6 years.”
"If all the sediment of the Yellow River is intercepted, the Yellow River water flowing down from Sanmenxia will be clear water, which can scour the downstream riverbed, and eventually turn the Yellow River, an 'overground river', into an 'underground river'. After 25 or 30 years, the reservoir mud The sand accumulated and the storage capacity gradually shrank, but at that time the historical mission of Sanmenxia had been completed, and it could be directly converted into a runoff power station with a smaller power generation.”
"If we try to plant trees on a large scale in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River after the completion of the Sanmenxia Project, the sediment content of the Yellow River will drop dramatically in 25 or even 20 years, and then the Sanmenxia Project will not have to worry about sedimentation. .”
"This idea of relying on a large storage capacity to intercept all the sediment, after our careful analysis and calculation, there are major problems."
When Lin Zhengying said this, it was tantamount to throwing a bomb. The faces of the planning committee, comrades from the Ministry of Water Resources and Soviet experts present here were all different.
……
Lin Zhengying gave each of the dozens of participants a share of the materials he brought, and turned on the slide projector in the conference hall, "In terms of hydrodynamic calculations, the algorithms and parameters are set by Professor Zhang Guangdou, deputy director of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at Tsinghua University. Professor Zhang explained the results of the analysis and calculation."
"We can't move the computer to the meeting room," Zhang Guangdou said, "and it takes at least 24 hours for the computer to perform a numerical simulation, so I will directly talk about the calculation results and conclusions in my report later."
"This is the topography of the planned reservoir area from Sanmenxia to about 50 kilometers upstream. It is obvious that after the completion of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, the head of the Sanmenxia Reservoir is narrow, the middle is wide, and the tail is narrow and long. "
"The most important thing we pay attention to is where the sediment will settle. To figure this out, we can't simply apply approximate formulas to make rough calculations, and we can't just wishful thinking that the sediment will definitely sink. The widest and deepest midsection of the reservoir. Instead, the fluid calculation of the entire reservoir water body should be done.”
"This is the shape of the water body and lake bottom after the reservoir is built and stored."
"This is the formula for the relationship between the maximum allowable amount of sediment carried in the Yellow River and the flow velocity."
"This is the flow velocity of the upstream river and the formula for the change of flow velocity after it flows into the reservoir area. In addition, when the upstream river water is close to but has not yet reached the reservoir area, the gradient formula of hydrodynamics needs to be applied."
"The change in flow velocity of the upstream Yellow River water after it flows into the reservoir area is related to the shape of the water body/bottom of the reservoir. This is a set of related variables."
Zhang Guangdou put the first slide up:
"We did calculations by feeding these changes into a computer."
This set of slides prepared by Zhang Guangdou shows Tongguan County - the river section here will be the tail of the Sanmenxia Reservoir.Parameters such as the amount of sediment deposition, the amount of river bed elevation, and time evolution are marked on the slide.
The silt-laden Yellow River flows to the Tongguan section, slows down and releases silt.
Sediment raises the river bed and lowers the slope.The lower the slope, the slower the flow rate of the Yellow River, the more sediment is released, and the river bed rises faster.
In the past 24 months of the timeline, the river bed at the narrow and long tail has been raised by 5.3 meters. This can no longer be called the Yellow River channel. Instead, it is tens of kilometers upstream of the Sanmenxia Dam. A new barrage.
This was later called the "blocking sand" brought about by the Sanmenxia Project.
Tongguan is also the intersection of the Yellow River, Weihe River, and Luohe River, and has a natural bayonet shape.
"The calculation results prove that the sediment of the Yellow River does not start to settle on a large scale when it reaches the middle abdomen of the reservoir. It will settle quickly as soon as it enters the reservoir area, that is, most of it will settle at the narrow and long tail."
"After 2 years of simulation operation, the Yellow River water transported 30 billion tons of sediment, of which 22.1 billion tons were deposited in Tongguan County and the narrow river section about 10 kilometers east. The middle abdomen, which accounts for 73.6% of the reservoir's storage capacity, received only 75% of the sediment."
"Here I will input a variable amount for simulation. If a small flood peak of 2700 cubic meters per second is given to the Yellow River at this time, Tongguan County will be flooded by the Yellow River."
"Furthermore, the blocking sand caused 'backwater', because the Yellow River channel was blocked, and the Yellow River water poured up from the mouth of the Weihe River. A settlement of about 25 people would be flooded."
……
The more than 20 slides made by Zhang Guangdou are a bit like an animation effect when they are displayed in succession, showing computer simulations one by one, showing how the Yellow River formed an unexpected sand barrier at the tail of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, and then turned Tongguan, Weihe This large area that was supposed to be good has become a mess.
Quiet.
