At the 1964 high-level meeting, Zhang Aiping's departure was blocked by ***.
The flames of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression caused the Chinese people to suffer a lot; Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although economic development has lagged behind, the Western powers have once again provoked us.
In order to ensure the continuous development of national defense and the improvement of science and technology, countless scientists have done their best to make outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology in New China.
They have always maintained a high degree of vigilance, strictly controlled the confidentiality work, and coordinated the overall situation. An important event in history was the dropping of the atomic bomb by the United States on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6, 1945, in an attempt to force an early end to the war.
At the same time, the United States secretly competed with the Soviet Union, forcing Japan to surrender.
Japan did not accept the American proposal, so the United States decided to use the atomic bomb in Japan. The high temperature generated by the atomic bomb made people feel as if they were in a "steamer" and were evaporated by the heat in an instant.
And the nuclear radiation released by the atomic bomb is like a "devil". The power of the atomic bomb is self-evident, and to this day, the area destroyed by the atomic bomb is still so desolate that even getting close to it can be life-threatening.
In the contest with the United States, the United States has threatened us with the use of nuclear weapons, which is undoubtedly a serious challenge to us. In order to protect the country, we had to embark on the difficult path of developing the atomic bomb.
In 1958, the plan for the development of the atomic bomb was again proposed, and the prime minister was appointed as the person in charge of the project.
Our country faced unprecedented difficulties when the Soviet Union unilaterally destroyed the contract with our country and withdrew its specialists, in an attempt to bring our nuclear program to a standstill.
Disasters have ensued, and the devastation caused by natural disasters has further exacerbated economic difficulties, making people's lives increasingly difficult and making it difficult to guarantee their basic livelihoods. According to statistics,
In that era of poverty, ** was very hesitant to keep this huge expense. In the end, he decided to consult with General Zhang Aiping, who was known as the "talent in the army".
General Zhang Aiping was the commander of the Fourth Division, and was awarded the rank of general after the founding of New China, and was one of the first people to propose the development of the atomic bomb. He has served as the director of four nuclear tests and the commander-in-chief of the field, and has an in-depth understanding of nuclear technology and scientific professional nuclear knowledge.
After careful consideration, General Zhang Aiping said to ***: "We must persist in the development of the atomic bomb and cannot give up because of the difficulties in front of us. The threat of the United States and the USSR cannot be ignored, and if we do not have a strong **, it will not only be impossible to protect the country, but also to ensure the survival of the people. ”
Zhang Aiping played an important role in the research and development process, as the project director, he actively excavated and introduced technical talents, not afraid of hardships, personally trekked through mountains and rivers, and visited various nuclear industry bases across the country.
General Zhang Aiping has a close relationship with Prime Minister Zhang and was personally appointed by Prime Minister himself as the person in charge of the development of the "two bombs and one satellite." In November 1961, General Zhang Aiping handed over an "answer sheet" full of sweat, that is, the "Report on the Construction of the Atomic Energy Industry", which clearly put forward the goal of "the successful explosion of the planned atomic bomb in 1964".
In the context of domestic and foreign difficulties, a meeting was urgently convened to demand that the research work on nuclear weapons be accelerated. On September 23, 1964, in the conference room of the prime minister of Zhongnanhai, many leaders and outstanding scientists gathered.
Due to the suddenness of the meeting, General Zhang Aiping, as the person in charge of the test site, had to put down his work and rush to Zhongnanhai to attend the meeting.
After receiving the notice, General Zhang Aiping immediately asked the prime minister for instructions, hoping to go to the atomic bomb test site to check a module before attending the meeting. However, at the moment when General Zhang Aiping was about to go out, the ** Prime Minister stopped him and asked solemnly: "Did General Aiping take any confidential documents related to the nuclear ** test with him?" ”
General Zhang Aiping shook his head in reply, but he understood that in order to ensure the confidentiality of the meeting, he had to be inspected by the confidentiality worker.
Under the strict requirements of the Prime Minister, the staff carried out their tasks meticulously. This meeting is about the atomic bomb on schedule**, and no detail can be sloppy.
** The Prime Minister's rigorous work style led him to take special measures during the special period to ensure that General Zhang Aiping did not carry any classified documents, so that everyone could have peace of mind.
After hardships, China's scientific research workers finally saw the dawn of victory, and the prime minister attached great importance to it and did not allow any mistakes. When Prime Minister *** issued the order to "turn through the pockets", General Zhang Aiping was taken aback, because the nuclear test documents were strictly stipulated that they could not be taken out of the office.
General Zhang Aiping did not feel angry when he was "turned over". On the contrary, he believes that it is precisely because of the serious and cautious attitude of the Prime Minister that the development of the atomic bomb can proceed smoothly.
He concluded that a careful and cautious approach is essential for any work to move forward.
In the face of doubts, some people asked why China has made great efforts to create this "mushroom cloud"? The answer is unequivocal, that is, backwardness means being beaten, and only when China is truly strong will other countries be in awe of our country and be respected as it deserves.
