"The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union should aim to combine their forces to serve the world, not to keep the world in fear."
Eisenhower's expression and tone were very calm. Although there was a speech script in front of him, he would only look down at the manuscript a few times after speaking for a whole paragraph. The main content of the speech draft was drawn up by him, and the words were very familiar.
"In order to help solve the atomic dilemma that scares the world, I recommend that the world's nuclear-weapon states take responsibility and start to eliminate and reduce the potential destructive power of nuclear weapons on the world's civilians; encourage and support international organizations to investigate nuclear fissile materials and study peace The way to use atomic energy. The United States proposes to establish an International Atomic Energy Agency with the support of the United Nations to investigate and manage nuclear fissile materials distributed in countries around the world, and to try to make fissile materials and atomic energy serve mankind's pursuit of peace."
"People in the world are in a state of hysteria about the atomic bomb. The United States and its allies are showing the world their will for peace. The use of nuclear weapons is to stop unjust wars, stop endless military provocations, and defend peace. The United States This will be the basic principle for holding nuclear weapons. The United States has always emphasized the constructive role of nuclear weapons rather than destructive value, and is committed to promoting the development of nuclear weapons in this direction.”
Compared with Truman's radio speech two years ago, "I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense", Eisenhower's speech did not directly express his position.
"If the man in charge of policy says in advance 'what he will use,' he is exposing his ignorance of war," Eisenhower told his staff as he wrote and revised his speech.
"If the president knew ahead of time that the Korean People's Army was going to commit two divisions to attack on the Eastern Front, would you have ordered the use of nuclear weapons?" asked White House strategic adviser George Kennan.
"I'll wait. Normally we'll wait until the point when we don't need to use nuclear weapons, as happened a month ago. If the South Korean army loses the battle—" Eisenhower said, "it will. "

Beijing.
"Clark sent a deputy chief of staff and a reporter of the United Nations Army to make a fuss," Li Kenong said, "secretly but in a very clear way to say that 'small nuclear weapons will mainly target military targets and will hardly harm civilians'. "
Tang Hua: "Half a day ago, Eisenhower's speech on the radio was much higher than Truman's. He didn't shout and kill, but he showed strong execution and clear thinking. Truman's performance that time was really bad. "
"Eisenhower was born as a five-star general. I think only he can compete with the chairman."
After going back to sleep and returning to the conference room, the two chatted aimlessly while checking the time from time to time.The Soviet brother really has to wait 24 hours before coming to the intelligence?
"Report, telegram from the General Staff of the Soviet Union."
The staff officer handed in a very long draft telegram.
"According to the information we have obtained, the warheads used in the M65 nuclear artillery system were developed by the Los Amos National Laboratory, and the current test bomb production is carried out by the Yantan Nuclear Plant. It has not yet been found that the Yantan Nuclear Plant has mass-produced nuclear weapons. According to intelligence, the Nevada nuclear test site of the U.S. military may conduct a series of small-yield nuclear weapon tests from the end of March 1953, and this may be the official test of the small nuclear artillery shells under development."
Nothing has changed from the original history...
"Minister Li, based on all the current information, can you be sure?" Tang Hua asked.
Li Kernong: "That's right, we immediately sorted out the report and delivered it to the chairman. The chairman is about to write an article to counter the US nuclear threat."
Eisenhower was really a master at the poker table, but his hole cards were seen through.
……
Moscow.At the end of the State Planning Commission's discussion meeting, Stalin finished speaking on the phone and felt that there was nothing more to say, so he stood up and said goodbye.Walking to the door, Stalin turned his head and said to the crowd watching him: "Today's meeting is over."
Wang Ruofei walked back to the residence with the tape in his arms.
In his bedroom, Wang Ruofei rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found 5 tapes, and copied 5 copies of Stalin's speech when he came to inspect this afternoon.
"Chairman Stalin's words today are very radical." Li Fuchun came in and said to Wang Ruofei.
"And Chairman Stalin's words, how should I put them, seem to be words after a long time of thinking."
"Then what shall we do?"
"Let's meet again in a few days and ask Chairman Stalin for detailed advice." Wang Ruofei said.
After thinking about it, I added:
"Today everyone's transcripts of the conversation were taken together, complemented each other, and compiled a full transcript. After transcribing, everyone signed and saved it. The tapes were sent back to the country to the Prime Minister, no, to the Prime Minister. and the chairman."
Chapter 26, The Fall of Giants
The meeting between the Soviet State Planning Commission and the First Five-Year Plan delegation ended on the third day.Li Fuchun typed out an application report and asked the Supreme Presidium of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union if he could arrange for a delegation to meet with Chairman Stalin. There were still some unresolved matters about China's construction and he wanted to ask his mentor.The Secretariat of the Supreme Presidium did not give an answer, but only stated that it was aware of the request of the Chinese comrades.
Two days later, the delegation started its scheduled trip to Tula, and the secretariat did not inform them when they would be able to meet Stalin.
If the inspection team had been more careful and hadn't missed radio and TV programs every day, they might have discovered that not only Stalin hadn't shown up in the past three days, but Beria, Malenkov, Khrushchev, and Mikoyan hadn't shown up either.
Tula is adjacent to Moscow State. It is not only an area with developed planting and animal husbandry, but also a neat ferrous metal smelting industry, electric energy industry, and machinery manufacturing industry.The delegation should have been in Tula to see the cooperation between the metal smelting and precision instrument manufacturing industries, and how the basic agricultural conditions can support the industrial development of the inland areas.However, because of what Stalin said five days ago, Li Fuchun and Wang Ruofei were a little absent-minded during the investigation.
"Chairman Stalin is brewing institutional reforms." Wang Ruofei said.
"He said part of it at the General Assembly of the Soviets in 1951."
"At the 1962th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union last year, Chairman Stalin said that communism should be established from 1965 to [-]. The transition from socialism to communism naturally required system changes."
"But Chairman Stalin said that under socialism the principles of political economy cannot be denied..."
……
In the Stamp Machinery Manufacturing Plant with 1 employees, the factory hotel where the delegation stayed was the best hotel in Tula.
"Hey, old Wang, is this TV broken?" Li Fuchun asked Wang Ruofei.
Wang Ruofei looked at the black and white TV set on the TV cabinet, which was playing "Swan Lake". "Isn't there an image?"
"It broadcasts Swan Lake on both channels," Li Fuchun said, "and it played it again and again for half an hour, and it kept playing in a loop."
"Oh, it's a bit strange," Wang Ruofei looked at his watch, "It should be news at this point."
"Forget it, let's listen to the radio to learn about the news." Li Fuchun found the radio and turned it on.
The radio was on, but no one spoke.
"Da da da da da, da da,..." Isn't this the accompaniment music of "Swan Lake".
Now everything on radio and TV is Swan Lake.
……
Beijing.
Tang Hua still doesn't know about the supernatural events in Russia.I also don't know what Stalin said at the working meeting of the delegation.
The chairman and Eisenhower are fighting internally across the earth, and he and Li Kenong are handing shells to the chairman behind.
Eisenhower did not deny that two "Atomic Annies" were transported to Busan, but he downplayed this matter in his first and second speeches, as if he transported two to Britain when he was Supreme Commander of the European Allied Forces Tanks are as usual.Instead, he talked a lot about the impact of nuclear weapons on the world and how the world can maintain peace under the deterrence of nuclear weapons.
Chairman... Now that the Chairman knows that the two "Atomic Annies" in Busan are nothing more than two 280mm caliber howitzers, he accuses the United States of still having delusions about the Korean Peninsula and wants to drag the American people into the abyss of war.
"The enemy is not scary. Its pretentiousness and aggression are intimidating. Our wish is not to fight, but if you must fight, we have to let you fight. You hit yours, I hit mine, you hit the atomic bomb, I hit the grenade, grab your weak point, follow you, and finally beat you."
At the Huachuan negotiation venue, the secret talks between China and the United States on the issue of prisoners of war gradually became clear, and Qiao Guanhua, Chen Geng, and Nan Ri went through repeated and patient coordination and negotiations, and the armistice negotiations gradually moved forward.With regard to the supervision of the neutral zone after the war, the United Nations Army made concessions, and the United States and the United Kingdom did not send personnel to participate in the supervision and observers of the neutral zone.
By March 1953, the more than 3-kilometer confrontation line in the Korean battlefield was even calmer than at the end of last year.Even though the campaign of cold guns and cold guns has continued, ordinary soldiers on both sides have noticed the threat of snipers on the opposite side, and the trench fortifications near the front line have all adopted a conservative posture. Three lookouts observe with gunscopes or periscopes.
