Tang Hua: "Build a Palace of Soviets...Oh, no, this is not a formal proposal, but just my little wish."
Malenkov froze for a moment, then laughed.
Then go.
……
In this day and age, the Palace of Soviets belongs to the kind of super project that is so large that it can harm the country, and it is usually called a "spectacle".
The Soviet Palace was planned to be built in the 30s. In 1931, the Soviet Union blew up the Cathedral of the Savior to free up the land, and then made a design plan.
The final plan is 415 meters high, which is 34 meters higher than the Empire State Building in the United States. However, the roof of the Soviet Palace is a giant Lenin statue, 100 meters high.
The Palace of Soviets is not a commercial office building, but an administrative building.The huge venue is used to hold the Supreme Soviet Conference and various large-scale meetings, and the upper floor is the office building of the Soviet Council of Ministers and the Presidium of the CPSU.
Compared with the Empire State Building, although the building height of the Palace of Soviets is not so high, the ground floor is much thicker, so the total internal construction area is much larger than the Empire State Building.If built, it would really be a spectacle in Moscow.
In 1937, excavation of the foundations of the Palace of Soviets began.When it was still a construction site, Germany invaded in June 1941, and the Palace of Soviets was completely shut down. The steel and cement placed on the construction site were requisitioned and transported away as materials to build the Moscow defense line.
After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union needed to rebuild the country, and the finances and supplies were very tight. The construction of the Palace of Soviets was still at a standstill, but Stalin did not give up the idea of completing it, and the design plan was still being fine-tuned.Then 1953 - Stalin died.
Now the construction site of the Palace of Soviets is still in a state of suspension. In February 1955, when Khrushchev drove away Malenkov and took over the power, the project of the Palace of Soviets was completely cut off.Then, according to Khrushchev's instructions, the Soviet Union built a huge ugly swimming pool on the site of the Palace of Soviets.
In fact, Tang Hua didn't think there was any reason why the Palace of Soviets had to be built, and he didn't want to "mistaken the country" to deceive the Soviet Union. He was simply interested in the behemoth of the Palace of Soviets.
……
"The Palace of the Soviets... The Palace of the Soviets..."
Malenkov was still muttering on the way back to his office.
"Even international friends are looking forward to the completion of the Palace of Soviets..."
……
"Pure gold five-pointed star?" Zhou Xuan looked at the gold star on Tang Hua's chest and the medal with the red flag + Lenin's head, "It's very beautiful."
"Miss Zhou Xuan, this is the highest medal of the Soviet Union," said the chief accountant. "People from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and France have won it before, but this is the first time for a Chinese."
Zhou Xuan: "Is it more advanced than the medals you got before?"
Tang Hua: "Of course, there are no benefits for previous medals. With this Hero of the Soviet Union, I don't need to buy a bus ticket in the Soviet Union."
chief accountant:"……"
Tang Hua: "There is also free recuperation once a year, a first-class round-trip ticket every year, priority allocation of apartments and a living area quota plus 45 square meters, and a 50% reduction in rent if you rent a house, and tax exemption if you are right."
……
The chief accountant walked away silently without saying a word.
His eyes expressed the meaning of "do you need these benefits?"
……
"Academician Sakharov, hello." "Academician Kurchatov, hello."
Malenkov withdrew, and the winners were still in the hall, chatting with each other while waiting.
"Hello, Academician Tang Hua." Sakharov also greeted Tang Hua, "We met at the meeting of the Academy of Sciences in 1949."
Tang Hua: "Yes, I have an impression. But I didn't see you when I came to the Soviet Union in 1951 and 1952."
Sakharov smiled and did not answer the question.
At the award ceremony, Sakharov's award reason was "for outstanding contributions to Soviet defense and science and technology." In 1950, Sakharov won an award, but that time he mentioned the atomic bomb in the newspaper.
Obviously, the Soviet Union does not intend to disclose who the development team is for the hydrogen bomb project.
Kurchatov: "Only the achievements of anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles and anti-tank missiles are enough for you to receive the medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union. As for information theory ... that is of course also necessary. compensate."
Anti-aircraft missiles have long been deployed in Moscow's S-25 missile positions.
反舰导弹是去年11月，苏联海军也拿到了两艘P6鱼雷艇改造的导弹快艇，第一次实弹打靶就把9000吨的靶船炸出几个大窟窿然后沉没。这会儿苏联正在给自己的07、07A型驱逐舰改装，拆掉鱼雷发射管安装鹰击-1导弹发射箱。
The current technical state of the Eagle Strike-1 is a bit horrible. It has the volume and weight of the harpoon, but only 2/3 of the range and power of Gabriel.But it's just Tang Hua's dissatisfaction. The Soviet Navy still finds it too cool to use.Moreover, the research and development of Eagle Strike-2 is progressing smoothly, and a sample bomb may be manufactured by the end of 1954.
Tang Hua: "Missiles are actually technical advances in the field of conventional weapons, and the atomic bomb you successfully developed has created a new type of weapon. These missiles are weapons at the tactical level, while your atomic bomb is a weapon at the national strategic level. "
Sakharov: "The idea of missiles is correct. It uses technology in the right direction. It is a weapon of justice."
Tang Hua: "?"
Sakharov: "Precisely hit missiles can prevent a large number of civilians from being accidentally injured and killed by bombing. Even on the battlefield, the accuracy of missiles can allow an army to achieve the purpose of the campaign with very few kills, making war become More humane, which is what I define as justice. In contrast, a single nuclear weapon can destroy an entire city and cause tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of casualties, most of them civilians.”
I almost forgot, Lao Sa is a pacifist.
Tang Hua: "On the contrary. Because of the enormous power of nuclear weapons, when both sides have them, the top leaders of both sides will tend not to use them. Not only that, in order to avoid the natural escalation of wars caused by conventional weapons to mutual Drop nuclear weapons, and there won't even be a war between the big powers with nuclear weapons. Instead, nuclear weapons will create a balance that will bring peace to the world."
Sakharov: "That is peace under the sword of Damocles. No one knows when this sword will fall."
Tang Hua: "It is indeed peace under nuclear deterrence. When all major countries have nuclear weapons and the number is very large, this kind of peace will last for a long time, and there may even be no more wars between major countries. The two are the Soviet Union Successfully developed nuclear weapons, but it is likely that in your lifetime, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons will kill 0 people."
Sakharov and Kurchatov remained silent.
Tang Hua: "Nuclear bombs may never be used; and my missiles have already killed the enemy in North Korea and Taiwan, and may continue to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future. And the casualties caused by my missiles in the future, compared with I am afraid that Comrade Kalashnikov's invention is not even a fraction. The reality may be completely opposite to your estimation."
Kurchatov: "Kalashnikov?"
"Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, the inventor of the AK-47. I think he should have received the Hero of Socialist Labor Medal in 1951. I don't know if he came to the Soviet Union this time. , Is there any chance to visit him..."
Chapter 30, have a Chinese New Year party
On the west side of Moscow's Red Square, the Lenin Mausoleum built of red granite and black feldspar is the place where Lenin's body is stored.
The Russian word "Lenin" is inscribed on the entrance of the mausoleum, but there is no other writing.
Half of Lenin's tomb is underground, half is exposed to the ground. The bottom is a stable stone base, and then there are steps, which are gradually narrowed upwards. On top of it is a flat seat leading to the stone steps of the reviewing platform-it also serves as a reviewing platform for military parades on Red Square. In November 1941, Stalin inspected the Soviet Red Army here, and then ordered them to immediately go to the battlefield to defend Moscow.
The chief accountant walked in the front, Tang Hua was second, and the members of the delegation entered Lenin's tomb one by one to lay flowers.In front of Lenin's crystal coffin, Tang Hua put down the bouquet and saw Lenin's body lying peacefully on his back in the crystal coffin, wearing a yellow jacket, wearing a red flag medal on his chest, and holding his left hand slightly as usual, as if taking a nap after work .
After exiting Lenin's Tomb, the delegation went to the nearby Stalin's Tomb.
Stalin is a hero who had a great influence on the history of the Soviet Union/Russia and even the world, and he is also a controversial figure.The controversy is so great that in the 21s of the 20st century, nearly 70 years after Stalin's death, we still cannot make a conclusion about his coffin.Khrushchev cursed him, Brezhnev chose to forget him, and Gorbachev blamed Stalin, his predecessor, for his difficulties in the Soviet Union.
In 2019, when Putin answered the reporter's question about the "four northern islands", he called Stalin an "old man" in a very natural tone:
"...This is the starting point of everything. (During World War II), the old man took all of them and put an end to it. He is worthy of being the father of the country."
