"Comrade Kolokoltsev, I need you to explain, what is your behavior?"
Leader Jing was so "angry" that his hands were shaking with anger, and he pointed at the machine parts on the ground and began to curse:
"We did not invite you Soviets to come over. You came on your own, and we warmly received you when you came. But this is how you repay our friendship? Your behavior is stealing and immoral!"
< br>
Since he has a higher level, there is no psychological pressure at all when he curses others.
What's more, although the two countries were still in a "brotherly alliance" relationship in 1960, people on earth are waiting for when the two countries will completely fall out. Senior figures in China and the Soviet Union know that this day is coming soon.
Since they were immediately enemies, Leader Jing was naturally no longer polite and his tone was quite harsh.
Ambassador Kolokoltsev was also very angry. What he was angry about was that the Chinese dared to talk to him so loudly? He represents the Big Brother. Which other small socialist country does not look at the faces of the Soviets and speak cautiously, fearing that the volume will be too loud.
As a result, a small Chinese person now dares to yell at him? Is this a rebellion?
Lao Maozi lacks any energy and doesn't take hard or soft advice. Even if he is wrong, he doesn't think it's a big deal. To put it bluntly, he lacks education.
"Jing, we are dismantling your machines because we think highly of you. We feel that your country has new technology. As a brotherly country, shouldn't you obediently dedicate the latest technology to Big Brother? But you actually hid something from us. You Big Brother is not happy with this behavior.”
Leader Jing got really angry when he heard this. His exaggerated acting skills turned pale now:
"Why are we giving you the new technology we invented ourselves for free?"
Kolokoltsev also replied forcefully:
"Just because we have been supporting you for so many years, without us, the Soviet Union, you would not have been able to build a country, and once you have established a country, you would not be able to defend it. We have also assisted you with 156 industrial projects, so we are your benefactors and your leaders. You, China, should not be ungrateful!”
Leader Jing snorted and said mockingly:
"Yes, at first we thought you were helping us. But starting in 1959, we discovered that your support came at a price. Even during the war with North Korea, you had to pay for all the weapons you provided. .
Look at your so-called Big Brother. Taking advantage of our country's severe natural disasters and the worst economic crisis, he suddenly turned his back and asked us to pay off our debts. Our country cannot tolerate big brothers like you who add insult to injury and add insult to injury.
Since you want money and recognize money but not people, don't talk about friendship with us now. Everyone is talking about money. If you damaged our machine, please compensate us for the loss.
In order to develop these X-ray technologies and build this production line, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars. Every machine in this workshop was developed by ourselves, and a production line costs tens of millions of dollars. Now if you break it, you will lose money. ”
Kolokoltsev said disdainfully: "Who said we broke it? Just dismantle it and install it. What loss do you have?"
This was what Leader Jing was waiting for, so he quietly looked at Lin Sanqi.
Lin Sanqi nodded slightly, saying that he had dismantled the core parts as planned, and there was no way Lao Maozi could put them back together.
"Okay, Comrade Kolokoltsev, since you said you can put it back, don't say I won't give you a chance, just show it to me now. If you can't put it back, you must compensate us for all our losses!"
Kolokoltsev is a smart man, so he immediately felt that his words seemed to be a trick? So he looked at the Soviet engineers next to him.
These young engineers are more confident than anyone else. It is just a machine. For mechanical experts like them, the installation can be solved with their eyes closed.
"No problem, we can install it back again!"
The Soviet engineers had no idea that someone was such a thief and had stolen some of the core parts without anyone noticing. After all, no one at the scene had touched them. The parts that were removed from the machine were so big that it was impossible to hide them on the body. of.
So the engineers are very confident.
Leader Jing continued with a livid face: "Pull the camera over and film it for me. We always pay attention to a piece of evidence. I want to see how you install it."
The more Kolokoltsev thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong. Combined with the fact that Chinese workers had gone to eat and stop work for no apparent reason before, and even the diplomats had left with them, it felt like he was creating an opportunity for them to dismantle the machines. Was this a trap?
But he has no evidence.
It was true that they dismantled the machine themselves, and no one forced them to do so. Based on this alone, the Soviets were at a loss.
At this time, they didn't know that the Americans next door had also been caught embarrassingly and were also trying to reinstall the recovery machine.
Kolokoltsev was a little wary, so he spoke up: "Except for our Soviet comrades, everyone else please stay away and don't come close!"
Leader Jing nodded: "Everyone, step aside!"
The workers and staff on the Chinese side all left one after another. Kolokoltsev looked over one by one suspiciously to make sure there was nothing abnormal about everyone.
He was also afraid that someone would cause trouble, but Kolokoltsev was confident that a few missing screws would not affect the installation, as long as there were a lot of parts.
Lin Sanqi took the opportunity to leave the machine and came to Leader Jing. Leader Jing whispered:
"Where did you hide the parts? Be careful not to reveal your secret."
Lin Sanqi waved the "shaped little door" in her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem. Let's just wait and see the show."
Leader Jing chuckled: "You are so mysterious..."
Lao Maozi and the three engineers started to sweat after 10 minutes.
Half an hour later, I was sweating profusely when faced with a machine that had been assembled but could not be started at all.
Half an hour later, Engineer Lao Maozi was faced with the disassembled parts. He was puzzled and could only bite the bullet and continue to assemble it again.
Similarly, in the workshop next door, the American engineers stopped talking harshly at this time. With dark faces, they were assembling and disassembling a machine over and over again.
But no matter what, the machine just couldn't be restarted.
Although American engineers have completely understood the operating principle of this machine through several assemblies, the problem now is that they have broken someone else's most precious toy and are about to face a huge diplomatic disaster.
Peter Welch was very nervous. He was just the deputy director of the office in China. He had finally obtained the position. If he did well, he could return to his country and become a formal ambassador to another country. If he did not do well in the workplace, it would be the end.
So Peter Welch kept urging: "Farke, why doesn't it ring?"
"Aren't you the most awesome professors and engineers at Johns Hopkins University and the University of California? Can't even handle this?"
"Oh my god, you can't install it. The Chinese will kill us and even feed the bodies to the dogs!"
Compared to his assistant's frenzy, Hank Allen had calmed down. Judging from the various abnormal behaviors of the Chinese people, he guessed that he had probably been jumped by an immortal.
But Hank Allen didn't take it seriously, because he was confident that behind him was not a small country, but the only superpower. The Chinese did not dare to do anything to diplomats like them.
However, he also understood that the Chinese would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail him, but he didn't know what the Chinese would want.
I have to say that compared to the arrogant old man, the Americans are too insidious and harder to deal with.
Finally, after three hours of torture, the American engineer gave up resistance and admitted that he had damaged the machine.
In the next workshop, the engineer Lao Maozi also threw away his tools and stepped aside with a blushing face.
There are some things where it is not convenient for the senior leader to take action, so he has to step forward. Leader Jing gave a look, and Eunuch Lin was the first to jump out:
"Soviet comrades, let us now talk about reparations."
Kolokoltsev is obviously not willing to be blackmailed, especially by his younger brother:
"No, no, no, Lin, this is just an accident. If the machine breaks down, we can guarantee that it will be repaired. In this way, we are going to transport this machine back to Mosco and send it back to you after we repair it."
Lin Sanqi clapped:
"Comrade Kolokoltsev, I have heard your plan in Guangzhou. Don't try to deny it. It's just this machine. Without 5 million U.S. dollars in compensation, we won't be finished!" (End of Chapter)
