    Zhang Zhenhua only rested at home for one day before continuing to work.  Seeing that the National Day was getting closer and closer, on this day, the factory director Zhao Tai found Zhang Zhenhua again, "Xiao Zhang. The superiors just issued the latest instructions. On this year's National Day, Soviet leader Comrade Khrushchev will come to Beijing to participate in the celebration.  And it is said that he will also negotiate with us about the latest military assistance project. It is estimated that he will also come to our place, so you can help to receive him. " Zhang Zhenhua said curiously: "Director, this kind of thing should not be left to senior leaders or technicians.  Are you responsible? I'm just a small designer, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Director Zhao smiled and said, "You don't have to be humble in front of me. I know all the things you designed during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.  The troops are of great help. So you must try your best to receive Comrade Khrushchev this time." "Yes." Zhang Zhenhua stood at attention and then said, "But director, you also said it was an estimate.  If he doesn't come then, you can't blame me." Zhao Tai smiled and scolded: "You kid, go and do your business!" On October 1, a ceremony was held in Tiananmen Square to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.  Grand military parade.  The visiting First Secretary of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev, was invited to watch the ceremony on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. Along with him was Comrade Kim R.C. who came from North Korea.  When groups of honor guard soldiers holding domestic semi-automatic rifles passed by the gate tower, Khrushchev couldn't help asking: "Comrade Mao Zedong, what type of rifles are these soldiers holding?" Chairman Mao smiled and said:  "This is designed and manufactured by China. You have never seen it. It is normal." Khrushchev was surprised: "What? Chinese comrades can already design weapons by themselves?" Premier Zhou on the side smiled and said: "This is not  Strange. As early as Yan'an, our arsenal had already begun designing weapons by itself. Unfortunately, we did not have a large-scale smelting plant at that time and could not produce them on a large scale. We only kept the drawings after continuous improvement over the years.  , finally we have the weapons in our soldiers¡¯ hands.¡± Khrushchev nodded and couldn¡¯t help but admired: ¡°The Chinese comrades are really amazing!¡± Chairman Mao smiled: ¡°Compared with you, we are still far behind.  Ah." At this time, the troops under review continued to march.  Khrushchev was once again surprised to find that almost all the light weapons and equipment of all the troops being reviewed were developed and produced by China. Soviet-style firearms only appeared in the militia formations, which he could not accept.  Although he had already known that the Chinese mainly received heavy equipment during the Korean War, they still gave some light weapons.  Although many of what Stalin gave them were old (even Khrushchev found this somewhat embarrassing), our Soviet small arms are not that bad, right?  And how long did it take for North Korea to cease fighting?  Most of your volunteers are still in North Korea, so you just handed over the weapons we provided to the militia?  Of course, in the presence of so many people, Khrushchev naturally couldn't show it. It wasn't until he saw the heavy equipment appearing later that his mood gradually improved.  Although Khrushchev still watched the next mass demonstration with a smile on his face, he actually no longer had much interest.  The next day, when Khrushchev met with Chairman Mao, he took the initiative to ask to see the latest light weapons and equipment of the People's Liberation Army soldiers.  Chairman Mao happily agreed to his request and asked Premier Zhou to inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the army to do their best to cooperate.  That afternoon, Premier Zhou sent someone to inform them that they had contacted the visiting troops. Khrushchev immediately took Mikoyan and others accompanying Premier Zhou to a military camp in the southern suburbs.  Zhang Zhenhua did not expect that the task would be handed down so quickly. Only one day after the National Day, his superiors asked him to accompany Khrushchev to visit the troops.  There was no other way, so Zhang Zhenhua had no choice but to ride in a jeep with two other senior engineers from the factory and arrive at the southern suburbs military camp in advance.  What surprised Zhang Zhenhua was that Gao Jiang was also in this camp.  Zhang Zhenhua asked Gao Jiang when others were not paying attention.  Gao Jiang said that he was a member of the troops undergoing the review. He was supposed to go back today, but unexpectedly he came to inform them at short notice that he would welcome Soviet leaders to visit.  Not long after, Premier Zhou accompanied Khrushchev by car to the camp.  After a brief welcoming ceremony, Khrushchev proposed to hold a Sino-Soviet firearms competition immediately.  China immediately arranged for soldiers to compete with the soldiers brought by Khrushchev.  Not long after, the personnel and firearms were prepared, and both parties came to the shooting range together.  The first event was a rifle competition, pitting Chinese semi-automatic rifles against Soviet-style Mosin-Nagant rifles.  After the personnel of both sides are in their respective positions, the game begins.  Zhang Zhenhua stood in the corner of the crowd with his arms folded. He was not worried at all about this game.  Because he participated in the design of all new firearms in China today, and with the assistance of the original technicians and engineers in arsenals in various places, it can be said that?It is more than a little bit stronger than the same period in history.  Especially in the current rifle competition, the Chinese side has a semi-automatic rifle with a ten-round magazine; the Soviet side has a five-round magazine manual rifle.  Although the Mosin-Nagant rifle is also a famous gun, it is still no match for semi-automatic or fully automatic rifles in terms of rapid loading and shooting.  The fact is exactly as Zhang Zhenhua expected, China won the first game.  Subsequently, the two sides exchanged weapons and competed again, and the Soviet side won. In other words, China's new semi-automatic rifle was stronger than the Soviet-style Mosin-Nagant rifle.  Subsequently, the two sides conducted submachine gun, light and heavy machine gun and pistol competitions.  Generally speaking, Chinese weapons are slightly stronger than Soviet weapons. Especially in terms of the convenience of weapon operation and the recoil generated when shooting, Chinese weapons are obviously better than Soviet weapons.  This makes the Chinese leaders headed by Premier Zhou very pleased.  After the competition, Khrushchev expressed his great joy that China could produce such good weapons and took photos with the participating soldiers.  After leaving the military camp and returning to the city, Khrushchev and others returned to the hotel to rest.  On the Chinese side alone, several leaders held another meeting and specially kept Zhang Zhenhua.  Hong Xuezhi asked Zhang Zhenhua: "Xiao Zhang, what do you think of the results of this competition?" Zhang Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "There may be two results. One, Lao He feels embarrassed and thinks that China has surpassed the level in light weapons research.  Because of this, Lao He felt embarrassed, but he thought that the Soviet weapons in this competition were only old models, which did not mean anything wrong. Therefore, in order to save face, he might go back.  Bring over their latest domestic equipment and compete again." Chief of Staff Nie Rongzhen next to him smiled, "That makes sense. Which result do you think will be better?" Zhang Zhenhua said, "Although the first one is more exciting?  Our country can develop independently in the development of light weapons. However, our country's industrial level is too poor, especially in terms of weapons materials. If we slowly explore, the progress will be very slow, so I prefer the second one, after all, there is no other country.  "Stone can attack jade." "That's right! But I'm afraid Khrushchev won't choose either option," Hong Xuezhi said, touching his chin.  Zhang Zhenhua smiled slightly, "I guess he won't. This old He just took over the Soviet Union, and now is the time to establish his prestige. Although he did not inherit Stalin's iron fist, he did inherit Stalin's ambition. To put it bluntly, in order to maintain the red world,  In the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in the east, they must find a stronger ally. Although our weapons won today, they are not without their shortcomings. I believe he already knows this."  Said: "The analysis is very thorough! It seems that our Comrade Xiao Zhang has gradually matured." Zhang Zhenhua smiled "hehe", "I was just thinking about it. I can't compare with your old leaders." Hong Xuezhi smiled and said:  "Okay! You kid is trying to accuse us of being cunning and cunning, isn't it?" "No! How dare I?" Zhang Zhenhua hurriedly yelled.  Premier Zhou stopped him with a smile, "Okay, we don't mean to blame you. What you said is exactly what we have learned from previous research." Looking at Zhang Zhenhua's expression, "Since you know, why don't you ask me?" Premier Zhou  He smiled and said: "Okay! Let me tell you good news. Your movie has been released in Hong Kong and Indonesia, and the response has been quite good. According to incomplete statistics, it has already earned more than one million US dollars, and it is still  Continue to increase. Most of this money will be invested in domestic scientific research projects, and of course the TV research you proposed is indispensable." Zhang Zhenhua smiled again, "I'll be relieved then." Premier Zhou said with a smile.  : "One more thing. Since TV research is about to get on the right track, as the initiator of this plan, we decided to let you serve as the deputy leader of the research group. The office of the group is in Guangzhou, which is close to overseas and convenient.  Those overseas researchers are coming and going." "Huh?" At this time, in the Beijing Hotel.  In Khrushchev's presidential suite, the current first leader of the Soviet Union was asking the two Soviet officers who participated in the gun competition in the afternoon, "What do you think of the guns made by Chinese comrades?" An officer  Said: "Comrade Khrushchev, although their guns won this afternoon's competition, I feel that their weapons have a leading weakness, that is, the steel of the guns is not very good. This can be seen from this afternoon's automatic  It can be seen from the weapons test that their barrels get hot easily." Khrushchev nodded, "Please continue." The man added, "Although I admit that their new weapons are very unique.  There is still a certain gap compared with the latest equipment of our Soviet Union, not to mention Qingwu.After all, weapons cannot determine the outcome of a war. In the future, aircraft, tanks, and even atomic bombs will still be used on the battlefield.  " Khrushchev nodded again, "Then do you think we still need to provide China with the latest small arms?  " Another officer said: "I think even if we give them all the latest domestic small arms information, given their industrial level, they may not be able to make suitable steel, even if they have a better design.  " "But this time we lost after all.  "Khrushchev murmured.
