Chapter 1257 Atomic Energy Commission The rising sun was rising in the east, and in the glow, a motorcade drove slowly into the Prime Minister's Office. (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) The Prime Minister's Office is actually the Government Affairs Council. It was just completed in less than a year. The Prime Minister usually works here. The offices of the chief ministers and deputy ministers of various government ministries are also located here. It is diagonally opposite the The straight-line distance from the Presidential Palace is only about 500 meters, and the motorcade that just entered the Prime Minister's Palace came from the Presidential Palace. President Zhao Zhenhua is still attending the Allied Summit in Cairo. The person in charge of the presidential palace is actually Vice President Yang Xizi. Of course, this does not mean that domestic government affairs are now handled by the vice president. In fact, the president is not in the country, and all domestic government affairs are It is still handled by the Prime Minister. After the motorcade entered the Prime Minister's Office, it quickly stopped in the parking lot. A moment later, Vice President Yang Du Yang Xizi got out of one of the cars and stood in front of the office building. He raised his head and looked at the fifth floor. In a certain office, there is the office of Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang. This time I rushed to the Prime Minister's Office. Yang Du came to talk to Wang Yongjiang. He had already called beforehand. Wang Yongjiang also sent a secretary to wait at the parking lot. As soon as Yang Du arrived, he was immediately invited by the secretary. In a reception room. "Isn't Prime Minister Wang here?" After Yang Du sat down on the sofa, he asked his secretary first. "Yes, but I am meeting with the Japanese ambassador to China, and will come to see the vice president soon." "Oh. The Japanese ambassador is here to thank our country for the tents and medicines provided, right?" Yang Du suddenly understood, nodded, no Ask again. Since the news that Japan was bombed by the US atomic bomb was confirmed, in the spirit of humanitarianism, Wang Yongjiang provided assistance to Japan on behalf of the Republic of China government with a batch of tents and medicines. Although the aid has not yet been officially shipped, but The Japanese ambassador should also come over to express his gratitude. This is also the etiquette of international exchanges. The secretary brought hot tea to Yang Du and placed several newly published newspapers on the coffee table in front of Vice President Yang. Obviously, this was to kill the Vice President's time. I am afraid that Wang Yongjiang's meeting with the Japanese ambassador would not It ended in a short time, which somewhat surprised Yang Du. Only then did he realize that the Japanese ambassador's visit this time was probably not as simple as thanking China for the aid supplies. Yang Du did not intend to guess the content of the meeting between the Japanese ambassador and Wang Yongjiang. He just sipped tea and read the newspaper. The news reports in the newspaper were overwhelmingly about the United States throwing "doomsday weapons" towards Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Comments, and public opinion was almost unanimously expressed "regret" or simply "condemn" for the United States' reckless use of such "inhumane" doomsday weapons. Two reports in the newspaper particularly caught Yang Du's attention. One of them analyzed the changes that will occur in the international strategic situation after the emergence of "doomsday weapons", and insinuated that the United States was so reckless in using atomic bombs to explode. The purpose of pacifying Japan's capital was not only to force Japan to surrender, but also to demonstrate to "a certain Eastern power" and show off its force. The U.S. government's behavior was actually a naked "nuclear blackmail," while another One report was a commentary on current affairs. It evaluated the United States' action of dropping atomic bombs from a humanitarian perspective. While criticizing the Japanese government for foolishly persisting in its war policy, it also gave deep sympathy to Japanese civilians. Seeing the current affairs commentary at the back, Yang Du snorted coldly. To be honest, he disdained the argument that "Japanese civilians are innocent". When he studied in Japan, he had seen the Japanese people's attitude toward war. It is true that among the Japanese civilians there are many mediocre people who are just satisfied with eating a bowl of rice. However, among the Japanese civilians, there are also a large number of people who pursue "long-term military success" and "conquer". "World" militaristic fanatics, and such people also control public opinion in Japan. Today's Japan is just a big military camp. There are no "civilians" in the military camp. Whether you are willing or not, you must follow Japan's plan. The tank rushed in an unknown direction, and for Japan's enemies, all Japanese are enemies and should be eliminated. Perhaps this is what the Americans thought, so the United States launched an attack on Tokyo without any warning. After a sudden nuclear bombing, the poor Japanese civilians in Tokyo always thought that the Japanese mainland would never be attacked by the US military. When they heard the sudden roar of bomber engines in the sky, the end had arrived, and the atomic bomb was In a flash, the city and its inhabitants were reduced to ashes. Perhaps the power of the atomic bomb has been exaggerated too much by ignorant newspapers and radio stations. Now even Chinese civilians are afraid. Yang Du came to see Wang Yongjiang today precisely for this matter. As the vice president, he usually has nothing to do. However, you can only find things to do by yourself. Yang Du took a look at this article specificallyThe author of the incident review was signed and found to be a pen name, but this pen name is very unfamiliar and does not seem to be a famous person. However, the writing is smooth and does not look like Bai Ding. It is difficult to tell what the background of this article is. As the vice president, Having been immersed in officialdom for a long time, Yang Du is no longer as simple-minded as before. He insists that any comment on current affairs that appears on the front page of a newspaper must represent a social or political force behind it, and It's definitely not just the author's thoughts. As for the previous article that used innuendo to analyze the United States' dropping of atomic bombs in Tokyo, Japan, although the author also used a pen name, the pen name looked very familiar, and it was "Swordsman of the North Sea." Yang Du knew this person, and it was "Swordsman of the North Sea". Shao Zhenqing, editor-in-chief of "Declaration", mentioned that this person also interviewed Vice President Yang back then. While re-reading Shao Zhenqing's current affairs analysis carefully, Yang Du suddenly heard footsteps and looked up. The secretary led the two people into the reception room again. One of them Yang Du recognized was Tian Jinfu, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and The other person is very handsome. She is a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance. I think she was a fashionable girl in her youth who could go out to meet people without makeup. And she doesn't wear much makeup now. She just wears glasses and holds a bag in her hand. The heavy briefcase looks like a university lecturer. "Director Tian, ??are you also here to see the Prime Minister?" Yang Du asked curiously. Tian Jinfu nodded and saw Yang Du looking at his companion, so he said: "Yes. We are also here to see the Prime Minister. As for the person next to me, she is Ms. Yuan Zi, she is the main person in charge of our country's atomic energy research project One of them just arrived in Beijing last night. I accompanied her to the Prime Minister's Office today to discuss the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission. "When was the Atomic Energy Commission established?" Yang Du asked. "It's like this. In the past, our country's research on atomic energy was basically in a secret state, and there was no open official organization. This put some restrictions on our recruitment and selection of relevant professionals. Now, the Central Committee has decided to establish an open and official atomic energy research organization. "The President has officially approved it the day before yesterday. In a few days, the Atomic Energy Commission will be officially established. With the President's respect, I will be the first chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission." Yuan Zi answered this question for Tian Jinfu. "Sure enough, women are not inferior to men. Our country's atomic bomb research career depends entirely on Ms. Yuan." Yang Du smiled and hurriedly asked Yuan Zi to take a seat. He was also ready to take the briefcase in her hand, thinking in his heart She complained that Tian Jinfu, a big old man, didn't understand the beauty of women, so he asked a lady to carry such a heavy briefcase. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zi declined Vice President Yang's kindness and insisted on taking control of the briefcase. This made Yang Du even more curious as to what treasures the female scientist contained in the briefcase. After sitting down, Yang Du asked Yuan Zi about the progress of China's atomic energy research, but Yuan Zi remained tight-lipped, which made Yang Du a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Tian Jinfu quickly changed the subject and asked Yang Du's purpose. Yang Du sighed and said: "Since the United States bombed Tokyo, Japan with atomic bombs, in the past two days, newspapers have been shouting 'the end of the world', and radio and TV have also been shouting 'the end of the world', which has made the people panic. Even my housekeeper came to me and asked me, if the United States goes crazy, will it drop an atomic bomb on our capital? I came to see the Prime Minister today just to discuss it with him and see if the central government should come forward to refute the rumor and tell the people. Atomic bombs are not that scary. Tokyo is afraid of explosions. That¡¯s because most of the houses in Tokyo are wooden buildings with wooden doors, wooden windows, and wooden floors. Even the roofs are made of wood. When they burn, a large area will be burned. After the Great Kanto Earthquake, Japanese wooden buildings The shortcomings have been undoubtedly exposed. Besides, although there have been disagreements on the Philippines issue, we are now a quasi-ally of the United States, and the United States will not drop atomic bombs on our heads. " See Yang Du's words. Somewhat amateurish, and cutely silly, the female scientist present laughed, and then corrected Yang Du's wrong view. "Mr. Vice President, you are wrong. The atomic bomb is indeed very powerful. Although it cannot be called a true 'doomsday weapon', if used in war, it will have a profound impact on the entire human war pattern and Change, if atomic bombs and rocket technology are perfectly combined, there may not be a Fourth World War in the future. Either a world war will not break out, or human civilization will be destroyed in the next world war. " " It sounds like you know a lot about atomic bombs?" Yang Du couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he was robbed. "Yes, of course I understand." Yuan Zi nodded, but did not give any explanation. Of course Tian Jinfu understands why Yang Du behaves like this in front of Yuan Zi"Stupid". According to Director Tian's knowledge, among all government civilian officials, except for the president and prime minister, no one else knew that China's atomic bombs had been secretly installed in the strategic air force. Naturally, Yang Du didn't know that he was sitting there. The frail lady in front of him was actually the person who lit the world's first nuclear torch. Her delicate hands were not used for embroidery and textiles, but for making doomsday weapons that would destroy civilization. To be honest, , when he met Ms. Yuan Zi for the first time, Director Tian had difficulty connecting this weak woman with a doomsday weapon. "Then, I would like to ask for advice. In Chairman Yuan's opinion, how powerful is the atomic bomb used by the United States to bomb Tokyo, Japan? The President of the United States claimed that its explosive power was equivalent to the power of 20,000 to 30,000 tons of high explosives exploded together. , To be honest, I don¡¯t believe it. I have seen mountains exploded. A little explosive can blow up a mountain. If it is like what US President Truman boasted, then the atomic bomb dropped on Tokyo will definitely blow it up. A deep pit, even sinking into the sea." Yang Du's temper also rose, and his words were full of provocation. Yuan Zi looked solemn and waited patiently for Yang Du to finish speaking before giving her judgment. "How powerful the explosion of the Tokyo atomic bomb is. I can't give an accurate answer yet. This requires first-hand information before we can estimate it. I heard that our Air Force has taken off two long-range aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance in Japan. , these two aircraft will not only collect air samples, but also conduct aerial photographic reconnaissance. After obtaining the current photos of Tokyo, we can not only estimate the yield of this nuclear explosion, but also find the center of the atomic bomb. It has never been attacked by air raids, and the city remained intact before the atomic bomb exploded. And because it is the capital of Japan, industry and commerce are very developed. There are not only a large number of wooden buildings, but also a large number of modern buildings with reinforced concrete, so it is very important to intuitively understand the atomic bomb. The destructive power is very appropriate. The United States must have considered this aspect when choosing Tokyo as the place to drop the atomic bomb, that is, to test the actual power of the atomic bomb. As for the possibility that the atomic bomb may sink Tokyo, as speculated by the vice president, it is basically not true. However, the power of the atomic bomb is not enough to do this. Moreover, it is said that the Tokyo atomic bomb is an air burst bomb, which explodes in the air, which reduces the direct impact on the ground, does not leave a deep crater, and is radioactive. Contamination has also been reduced to a minimum. From this point of view, the U.S. Air Force conducted detailed analysis and research before formulating the air strike plan. "I have never heard about this. The Chinese Air Force sent a reconnaissance plane to Japan?" Huh? "Hearing this, Yang Du was stunned again. He no longer cared about the power of the atomic bomb. Now he only cared about why even a female scientist knew something. He, the dignified Vice President of the Republic of China, was actually kept in the dark? "This Tokyo reconnaissance mission is carried out by the Strategic Reconnaissance Department. I told her on the way here, and not many people know about it. Currently, only the president and prime minister know about it, and the specific order was issued by the president." Tian Jinfu Explain hastily. Yang Du calmed down and asked: "Tokyo has been bombed and the Japanese government has been blamed. It's hard to say whether the Japanese emperor is dead or not. The sky across Japan is trembling. At this time, you are sending reconnaissance planes to Japan. , Aren¡¯t we afraid of being shot down by the Japanese Air Force?¡± Tian Jinfu said: ¡°We have contacted the Japanese Ambassador to China beforehand, and the Japanese Ambassador to China has contacted the relevant departments in Japan. By then, there will be several Japanese Air Force fighter jets for our side. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the reconnaissance plane escort. Moreover, after our country's plane flies to Japan, it does not fly directly to Tokyo. Instead, it must first go to Busan Airport in southern North Korea, and only after getting in touch with the Japanese side can it fly in Japan. Under the guidance of the aircraft, he flew to Tokyo, Japan to perform a reconnaissance mission. "Yang Du was stunned, but he was still unhappy. Speaking of which, he was also a dignified vice president. Now that the president is not in the country, he should be regarded as the highest-ranking government official in the Republic of China. Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang should be responsible to him. How can he be responsible to the president from so far away? If the German Air Force bombs Cairo and communications are interrupted, wouldn't Wang Yongjiang stop working? In the final analysis, people at the top and bottom of the government still regard him as a dispensable role. The role of vice president is really meaningless. He might as well be a chief or deputy minister in the ministry. At least you can do something serious.
