Chapter 1118 Big Brother’s Problem (first update, please subscribe)

Inadvertently, before some countries realize it, they are served on the dining table. In many cases, None of the parties involved knew anything about it.

And this is also the complexity of international affairs. Even a superpower holding a knife and fork sometimes turns into a meal on a plate for other countries to feast on because of the problem of choice.

For this reason, in international affairs, even big countries cannot be arrogant. Behind the seemingly arrogant power, they may very well have become a meal on the plate.

Just like Nanyang, although since 1956, Nanyang has become an influential power by relying on the frontal confrontation with the Soviet Union, it still deals with chaotic international affairs carefully.

Confrontation is never eternal, and there is little need for relaxation in confrontation.

In order to ease relations with the Soviet Union, Nanyang first sent an invitation to Khrushchev, inviting him to visit Nanyang.

This news naturally shocked the world - after all, as we all know, Nanyang is the number one thug in the Western world!

Although Nanyang's invitation was a bit unexpected, Moscow was delighted. After all, using every possibility to divide the Western bloc was the Soviet Union's established strategy in the post-steel era.

In the past few years, Khrushchev has frequently visited Western European countries, essentially for the purpose of easing and dividing.

Therefore, Khrushchev was very happy about Nanyang's invitation. He even excitedly took the invitation letter from the Nanyang embassy and said:

"Look, this is Nanyang... In the past year, we have exerted pressure in all directions, and we have made them realize that the confrontation with the Soviet Union cannot be sustained, and there will be no victory, so they are beginning to give in!"

In the conference room of the Kremlin Arsenal Building, facing his colleagues at the conference table covered with green countertops, Khrushchev seemed a little high-spirited.

At this time, he has undoubtedly benefited.

Last year, at the end of October, Molotov, Kaganovich, Voroshilov, Bulganin and a large number of veterans of the former government, together with Malenkov, jointly launched an attack at the meeting, demanding that Hru Xiao Fu stepped down.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable to him, Khrushchev had no choice but to announce a temporary adjournment of the meeting and discuss it again tomorrow.

Malenkov and others did not take it seriously. After all, most of the committee members were on their side.

Negotiation? This is also the result of further discussion.

However, they were destined to pay a heavy price for their negligence.

In the past few years, by correcting the mistakes of the Steel Age, Khrushchev gained the support of many middle and low-level party members, especially local support. As long as these people are summoned and an enlarged meeting is held, Malenkov and his gang will become a minority.

Just as he said, Khrushchev sent planes to various parts of the Soviet Union overnight to bring the committee members to Moscow for a meeting. At the meeting the next day, the situation was reversed and Malenkov and others were driven out of the Central Committee.

Not only did he successfully defeat the coup, but he also successfully took over the power. In the past, the veterans of the previous dynasty were on an equal footing with him, but what about now?

The people sitting here are all people he promoted.

“Yes, Comrade Nikita, Nanyang’s show of weakness is exactly caused by your wise decision,”

Brezhnev, who was just promoted last year, immediately responded with humility and respect. He echoed, and as soon as he finished his words, Aristov, Kozlov, Kusynin, Fortseva and others all started to compliment him one after another, as well as Mikoyan and Suslov.

Now the voices in this conference room are finally harmonious. Without the objections of Malenkov and others, everything is so perfect.

"I have accepted their invitation, but..."

Khrushchev said after a slight pause.

“Not now, I can’t go to Nanyang by propeller plane. Comrade Berushin, please go and ask Comrade Tupolev about the design of his plane and when can I sit there? Let’s fly to Nanyang.”

Khrushchev has a good reputation. When he saw Li Yi’an’s C707 at Moscow Airport two years ago, he certainly couldn’t take the twin-engine Tu-104. Went to Nanyang.

Different from history, because the Mia 4 bomber used a new turbofan engine, Tupolev's turboprop strategic bomber plan was naturally rejected, which allowed him to devote more energy to jet airliners. on research and development.

Picture 104 is his proud work. In 1952, after the C707 White Swan landed in Moscow for the first time, Steel and other Soviet high-level officials suddenly felt a great sense of frustration. Therefore, aircraft designers such as Tupolev, Ilyushin, and Antonov were immediately summoned to discuss the manufacturing of jet airliners and asked them to develop a rear-engine Soviet airliner.

New passenger planes are required to have larger payloads and more seats. Faced with his loving father's request, Tupolev naturally did not dare to neglect. They made in-depth improvements based on the C717: lengthening the fuselage, moving the engine's tail and modifying it into a "T" shape. From this, the Tu-104 was launched, and test flights began at the end of 1953.

This aircraft can accommodate 135 people. It can fly further than the C717 and carry higher passengers. After the aircraft was accepted, Khrushchev couldn’t wait to order the Tu-104 to visit the UK. In the following two years, Khrushchev took it on frequent visits to Western countries, including the United Kingdom and France. This allowed the West to experience the strength of the Soviet aviation industry, and Khrushchev felt great satisfaction. However, after seeing Li Yi'an's C717 in Moscow, he was dwarfed by it and asked the Soviet Union to develop a similar aircraft, and the aircraft should be larger and fly farther. Tupolev was still responsible for this task. .

"Comrade Nikita, I am preparing to report this matter to you,"

Faced with the inquiry, Berushin quickly replied.

“The Tu-114 passenger aircraft has already conducted test flights at the end of last year, and I believe it will be completed soon.”

After hearing this answer, Khrushchev nodded with satisfaction He nodded and said.

“Tell Comrade Tupolev that I look forward to good news from him, and this is not just for the visit, but for our country, where in the past three years we have exported hundreds of Figure 104, the export potential of new large aircraft is still very large. Nanyang has sold their C707 and C717 all over the world. Our aircraft can also be sold to our friends. They definitely need these aircraft! "< br>


This is true. In fact, after the C717 began to be delivered and put into commercial operation in 1953, even the other side of the Iron Curtain was extremely envious of it. If it were not for the lack of hard currency in their hands, they would even want to buy the C717. In the end, Yugoslavia Through loans, 6 C717s were purchased from Nanyang. For a time, Yugoslav Civil Aviation even became the most beautiful boy in the blue sky of Eastern Europe.

It was not until two years later that the launch of the Tu 104 finally made Eastern European countries addicted, and more than 100 aircraft were exported in just two years.

For a time, Eastern European countries seemed to be the pioneers leading the jet age. Even the Tass News Agency said proudly that Eastern European countries were the first to realize the jetization of civil aviation. This is of course their great achievement.

However, Khrushchev obviously had a soft spot for large four-engine passenger planes. Bigger and stronger aircraft were his favorite!

Then they discussed some more issues, and finally, Khrushchev asked:

"Now, are there any questions?"

After saying that, he glanced at his new comrades one by one, and finally landed on Kozlov, who was in charge of agriculture.

"Now that spring sowing has begun, how is today's spring sowing? Can it guarantee the nationwide demand?"

Facing the inquiry, Kozlov quickly reported the report;

"This year's spring sowing area has increased by 7% compared with last year. If all goes well, the output will increase by more than 5%. However, according to the analysis of the State Planning Commission, even if the output increases by 5%, our food supply will be very tight. .

After all, now that people's living standards are improving, their demand for milk and meat is increasing, and collective farms need to use more food for the production of milk, beef, and pork. So, we may need to import food this year. ”

After thinking about it, he added:

“Even if we don’t import this year, we will always import next year or in the future. Even if we increase the intensity of land reclamation, But so what? The people's demand for milk and meat far exceeds the increase in grain production. ”

Amidst the good news, the sudden bad news made everyone fall into silence. If Malenkov and others were here, they would definitely accuse the Corn Emperor of abolishing the rationing system-for Let people eat more and better.

They will even say that in the past, our food exports accounted for 40% of the world's food, but now we produce more food but there is not enough to eat. This is simply ridiculous. It is a great sin to even need to import it - use precious gold to import it.

Of course, no one will say it now, but that doesn’t mean no one thinks about it. Those people may have been defeated, but that doesn’t mean their supporters will remain silent. They are also waiting for opportunities.

Khrushchev was very clear about this,

He took a puff of cigarette silently and then said.

“We need to further increase the intensity of land reclamation and deploy more people and more machines to reclaim land. Our country is so big and there is still a lot of land suitable for farming, and... "

Khrushchev turned his head and looked at other comrades and said.

"In addition to cultivating more land, we also need to cultivate better seeds, produce more fertilizers, and further increase our food production.

Of course, there are pigs, we can find ways I think there are ways to introduce better breeding pigs from Western countries and increase pork production. This is not a difficult problem.

We can always solve these problems. ”
