In the original history, on February 2, Stalin drank and talked with those people until midnight, and then went to bed after the show.The next day, March 28st, there was no movement in Stalin's bedroom. The guard thought he was too drunk, but there was still no movement in the afternoon. He opened the door and saw that Stalin had a cerebral hemorrhage and fell to the ground. He died on March 3th. The official cause of death was identified. Cerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertensive atherosclerosis.
According to this statement, the date of Stalin's death is very accidental.His death date may be March 3th, March 5th, or February 3th, and there may even be greater errors. For example, Comrade Keberkov controlled Stalin's security and In the doctor system, in February and March, the guards were forced to make ward rounds at all times, so the historical deviation was even greater.But now that Tang Hua is thousands of kilometers away from Moscow, there is no need to consider this issue for the time being.

Jiangnan Shipyard.
The first batch of hull components of the Type 01 frigate has been piled up in the warehouse of the shipyard.The berth of Jiangnan Shipyard has also been sorted out.Although the Republic of China was precarious, the Jiangnan Shipyard still had a 1000-ton slipway, and assembled and built a Type 01 frigate of more than [-] tons. At least there is no need to worry about the hardware facilities of the shipyard.
"The keel and ribs of the hull have been piled up in this warehouse, and the main engine is in the No. [-] warehouse next door." Cheng Wang, director of the shipbuilding industry bureau, spoke to the technicians of Jiangnan Shipyard and Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard on the half of the ground that was still vacant in the warehouse. Speak to the engineer for the first lesson of the training.
"But it's not time to do it right away. We spend a month learning the Russian standard manual in our hands, learning new assembly standards, welding standards, processing standards, etc."
"What's Su Biao?"
"You don't know this? It's the construction standard, which used to be called the Russian standard. We used to use whatever we wanted. The Jiangnan factory used a mix of British and American standards, and our Hudong Zhonghua used the British standard."
"What's so easy to learn about this standard..."
Cheng Wang asked the students to calm down, "The so-called sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter. The Su standard is very important for your two factories to imitate, build and design new ships in the future. The Su standard is not only the shipbuilding industry that needs to be reformed, but also the heavy industry across the country. Departments must also adopt unified standards. Only when the national standards are unified, can we have common specifications and quality indicators when purchasing parts from various factories in various places. Minister Tang personally grasped the translation of the Soviet standard, and our manuals were compiled by Tang The minister has personally reviewed it, and you can imagine how important it is. So this must be learned, and standards must be unified.”

Xiamen.
"Drip drip drip!"
The buzzer of the computer made a piercing sound, the time was 9:[-] a.m., and the system gave a routine reminder.It means that there are projects in the database that have reached the point of refreshing the data - refreshing the data means that the preparatory committee needs to ask the grassroots to investigate new situations.
Secretary Deng walked from his desk to the computer terminal, both the computer and the monitor were turned on.He jumped into the computer chair with both feet, and picked up the phone after seeing today's logistics items clearly.
"Fuzhou preparatory team? I'm Secretary Deng. Report the transportation status of the fourth batch of materials. As of 9:2 this morning, where are the materials and their actual weight? Okay, very good. Who is the inspector? The warehouse where the goods are stored The number is CK32-[-]? Make a note of it. The paperwork and receipts will be delivered as soon as possible."
There are already thousands of logistical data entries in the computer, and the growth rate of more than 400 new ones is maintained every day.Today, the buzzer prompts that 4 items have reached the node of acceptance or inspection refresh.
"Penghu Opportunity Team? Has all the ammunition fleet arrived in Penghu today? Has all the Penghu fleet returned to Xiamen? Is there anything that needs to be reported in the Penghu call back? Good. The returning landing ship must be camouflaged. Slack. You go and urge the crew to do things."
"Chaoshan? Can you hear me? Report on the accumulation of grain. Not enough, 35 catties should be put into storage, and now there are only 31 catties. You can't purchase grain on the spot in Chaoshan. The disciplinary principles we issued in advance cannot be changed. Your work Counting the first delay, a solution must be given to resolve this issue within 48 hours."
Every time one was confirmed, Secretary Deng typed the corresponding code or number on the keyboard, and then the system indicated that the pending item had been processed, and the line of words sank again.
After dealing with the stressful incident, Secretary Deng had nothing to do. He rummaged through the database, inquiring about the total amount of grain at all logistics storage points, the total amount of ammunition at all logistics storage points, and the total amount of materials in Xiamen City...
The transportation of materials from Xiamen to Penghu adopts the form of two identical landing ship formations.Every night, six landing ships depart from Xiamen and head for Penghu.At the same time, the six landing ships that arrived in Penghu Bay the day before set off for Xiamen.When it was dawn, the 6 landing ships changed positions. The 6 landing ships that arrived in Penghu unloaded all the cargo in the cabin and hid them in the warehouse before dawn. It is completely consistent with the six landing ships yesterday.
With this method, 2 tons of heavy weapons, food, ammunition, fuel oil, medicine, etc. can be gathered in Penghu every day.If everything goes well, it will only take a month for Penghu to become a campaign-level offensive launch point for the Taiwan campaign.

Taipei.
"I'm sorry, President Chang is unwell today and cannot see you." Major Jin in the attendant's room stopped the jeep of the US military advisory group, "If there is an urgent matter, please leave a letter or call President Chang to discuss it, but President Chang will not care about it today. Why can't I meet guests."
"This Chiang Kai-shek, he is deliberately isolating us from him, and isolating us from his troops." William Childs said.
No need to guess, now the top level of the US military's advisory group in Taiwan has become very suspicious.
It is not only that Chiang Kai-shek has not seen any members of the advisory group behind closed doors these days, nor is it that Chiang Kai-shek has actually frequently met with military and political figures of the Kuomintang these days.William Childs found out that Chiang Kai-shek was planning to squeeze all the American advisers out of his 3000-strong Imperial Forest Army.
The so-called "Royal Forest Army" was originally trained by the U.S. military, but now it is only half of the training, that is, they will lay sheets when they get up, and they will do American PT when they go out.Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with the Imperial Forest Army, because these 3000 people were all gentry officials and their servants with good roots, so they were safe to use.
A while ago, Chiang Kai-shek went out to inspect the Second Army. It is said that the Second Army performed very well in exercises under the guidance of the US military.Chiang Kai-shek asked the Second Army to hold a small military parade during his inspection.
When the most elite regiment of the Second Army was lined up, Chiang Kai-shek did not arrive for half a day.Finally, six large trucks came and stopped to the left and right of the reviewing stand.The military police maintained order, and after waiting for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek's car arrived. Old Chiang, with his bare head and a cloak, was unhurriedly reviewing the troops.However, a few soldiers of the Second Army who were standing at the right angle found that although more than a dozen military policemen got off the six large trucks, there was still something in the dark trunk.Taking advantage of the chance that the canvas of the truck body was slightly blown by the wind, the soldiers of the Second Army found that there was a Browning heavy machine gun and two shooters in the body of each truck, and the machine guns were aimed at the second army under review. Army elite regiment.
"Chiang Kai-shek now thinks that the Americans are preparing to run Taiwan without himself, so he is naturally very unhappy." Assistant Lieutenant Colonel Whitt told Charles.
"He has no other choice. The White House has considered everything for him. At this time, the decision we made is more rational and perfect than what he thought."
"General, is the new president of the ROC ready for backup one of the more sensible decisions we've considered for him?"
"Where did you hear the rumor?" Childs squinted at Lieutenant Colonel Whit, "Try not to talk about it."

Washington, the White House.
"President, we have selected and determined who can serve as the new president of the Republic of China." The staff handed a document to Eisenhower, "To be precise, we have determined who should be the new president and the new defense minister at the same time. "
Eisenhower opened the material and showed a surprised expression when he saw the first page.
The Kenmore Hotel.
"It's a great honor to invite you to the Kenmore Hotel for an interview. You have lived in China for most of your life. How do you feel about the current mainland China?"
"I also thank "Time" for its thoughtful reception arrangement, Mr. Shire reporter. I have been away from mainland China for 4 years, and everything there is already very strange to me now."
"Why did you avoid Chiang Kai-shek and come to America?"
"As long as Chiang Kai-shek is still ruling Taiwan, the ROC regime will surely fail."
"As far as I know, Taiwan is different from the mainland China that was lost a few years ago. Now Taiwan is completely under the protection of the United States. With Chiang Kai-shek under such protection, do you think Taiwan will be lost?"
"Whether the Republic of China can persevere is not determined by how much gun aid and how much US dollars aid the United States gives, but by its interior. Chiang Kai-shek is narrow-minded and very strong in rejecting dissidents. The level of governance is not high. In his Under the rule of the Republic of China, there were serious problems in the military and political affairs of the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek either did not want to solve these problems, or was unable to solve them. These problems in the Chiang Kai-shek regime caused him to lose the mainland, and after he fled to Taiwan, he did not To solve the above-mentioned package of problems, and even worse, his relationship with the United States is also deteriorating. Therefore, the Republic of China is now facing a crisis of life and death, and the biggest party and instigator of this crisis is Chiang Kai-shek.”
"What do you think the Republic of China should do to get rid of the current internal and external crisis?"
"As long as Chiang Kai-shek is still in power, Taiwan's internal crisis cannot be shaken off. If you want to talk about the external, the solution to the external crisis-you must think that I have a solution, right? You guessed wrong, I don't have one now."
Li Zongren was sitting on the sofa, talking to the reporter. The translator around him had tried his best to keep up with Li Zongren's speaking speed, but no matter how hard he tried, the translator's expression speed was one-third slower than Li Zongren's speaking speed.
In the parking lot outside the Kenmore Hotel, Pan Hannian, who is now an unknown Chinese store owner, is sitting in a Ford sedan, wearing sunglasses, and seems to be waiting for someone.
Chapter 22, winning the beachhead
Beijing.
"From this point of view, the U.S. air force used to help defend Taiwan is not strong. On the contrary, there are more warships than I imagined."
The formulation of the general plan for the Taiwan campaign was a huge project. From the planning in September 1952 to February 9, the general framework of the combat plan had been formed. Su Yu was the main planner of the battle plan, and the General Staff Zhang Zhen of the War Department, Commander Xiao of the Navy and Commander Liu of the Air Force.In order to prepare for the Taiwan campaign, Liu Yelou had already returned to Beijing from the Volunteer Army Air Force Command in Shenyang. Anyway, our air force's operations over North Korea have formed a basic routine, and there are few sudden changes.
However, although the plan was formulated early, the strength and deployment positions of the Taiwan National Army and the US military must be embedded in the combat plan with the latest data, preferably real-time data.
"The aircraft carrier of the Seventh Fleet currently on duty in the direction of Taiwan is the Essex-class 'Bennington', which arrived in the Western Pacific in early January 1953 and entered a state of combat readiness. The USS should leave the vicinity of Taiwan in early or mid-April 1 and return to rest. The aircraft carrier to replace the 'Bennington' has not yet been determined, and it may be the Essex-class 'Shangri-La' or 'Princeton'."
"During the handover of the two US aircraft carriers, the ability to control the surrounding areas of Taiwan will be slightly reduced. The decline in control is mainly in the early stage of the handover period. The reason is that the previous aircraft carrier has been on duty for a long time. The state of personnel and equipment has declined. Therefore From this perspective, a relative trough of the US Navy's aircraft carrier power can be captured in mid-to-early April."
"However, the current air combat capability of the carrier-based aircraft of the U.S. Navy is far weaker than that of the land-based fighter jets of the Air Force. In the air combat in the Taiwan campaign, the U.S. military mainly relied on the U.S. Air Force Base in Taipei and the Okinawa base. The carrier-based aircraft are the main threat to us. It is to attack from an unexpected direction to intercept my transport fleet."
