Speaking of atomic bombs, our first impression will be of its amazing destructive power, and the power of an atomic bomb is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Japan is the only country in the whole world that was destroyed by atomic bombs. During World War II, Japan invaded and occupied a large number of Chinese territory, and even the Soviet Union and the United States were invaded by Japan at that time. After fighting with the Allies, it was not until 1945 that Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, China, the Soviet Union and the United States all won perfect victories, but in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the United States directly destroyed Japan's national defense forces with two atomic bombs against Japan, and in the year of 1945, the United States dropped "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" in Japan, and the two atomic bombs were detonated in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan.
The two atomic bombs caused great losses to Japan, and it was also these two atomic bombs that accelerated the speed of Japan's surrender, and after the atomic bomb detonated, the whole world was paying attention to this weapon. This kind of nuclear weapon is not only amazingly destructive, even at that time, only the United States successfully developed the atomic bomb, as long as there is such a weapon, the United States is still the existence of world hegemony, in 1945, our country has just been liberated, in weapons and technology far behind the Western countries.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > famous American journalists have visited China many times, and when it comes to atomic bombs, Chairman Mao says "paper tigers"! </h1>
The famous American journalist was named Snow, and Snow and Chairman Mao had established a deep friendship as early as 1936. The main reason why Snow was recognized by the world was that Snow published many books on the communist revolution, and after five failed encirclements and suppressions, our Party began the long march. Snow had already come to China in 1928, but when Snow came to China, he heard all the negative news of the Communist Party.
What puzzled Snow was that the Kuomintang reported negative news, so why more and more people joined the Communist Party of China, Snow was very puzzled, until the spring of 1936, Snow waited for this opportunity, in 1936 Snow came to northern Shaanxi, after coming to northern Shaanxi Snow visited Chairman Mao in the summer, after three months in northern Shaanxi Snow wrote the huge work "Red Star Shines in China".
The book clearly states the real Chinese Communist Party, and during his three months in northern Shaanxi, Snow personally felt the responsibility of the Communist Party. In the news that broke out before, it was not in line with the Communist Party I knew, and the world slowly began to understand the Chinese Communist Party through the huge work "Red Star Shines in China". Snow did not visit Chairman Mao alone, but again in 1939.
At this time, China was still in the period of resistance against Japan, and Snow asked Chairman Mao how to make China strong at this time, and Chairman Mao's answer was to unite the entire front. At the Chinese and foreign congresses, Chairman Mao also specially introduced Snow as a friend, because in Chairman Mao's eyes Snow was different, and it was this visit that made Snow write "The Other Side of the Great River" again. In 1960, Snow was invited by China.
Chairman Mao was already the leader of China when he met Chairman Mao this time, and Snow also became a writer, although they had not seen each other for many years, the two still recalled the friendship they once had, during this meeting Chairman Mao and Snow talked a lot, but this time they still talked about the atomic bomb, once Chairman Mao said in front of Snow that the atomic bomb was just a "paper tiger", but as a Western country, Snow did not understand what "paper tiger" meant.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" paper tigers > are known as atomic bombs, why did Chairman Mao say that atomic bombs are paper tigers! </h1>
What is a paper tiger, you can know the answer from the surface meaning, that is, it looks very scared, but it cannot play any role in war. So the word "paper tiger" was also invented by Chairman Mao, and during World War II, did Chairman Mao really think that the atomic bomb was a "paper tiger"? In fact, as early as after the United States detonated the atomic bomb, the world was working hard to develop the atomic bomb.
Although China had been liberated, but the technology and economy were still far weaker, and other countries, at the time of liberation China did not have the ability to develop atomic bombs. In 1950, the Korean War broke out, and although the United States invaded North Korea, it was still able to affect our northeast region. Under the leadership of our party, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea also began. During the Korean War, U.S. President Harry S. Truman repeatedly said that he would use the atomic bomb.
However, in Chairman Mao's view, the so-called atomic bomb is a "paper tiger", and although its destructive power is amazing, it cannot destroy the unity of the people. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China defeated Americanism by virtue of the people's single-mindedness, and the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea also brought China international status. Although China does not have advanced weapons, the unity of the people is the key to victory.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > the end of the war, Chairman Mao said: China must have atomic bombs! </h1>
Nuclear weapons have become a symbol of a country, and only nuclear weapons can not be bullied by other countries. At that time, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries already possessed nuclear weapons. As a world power, China has not yet succeeded in developing the atomic bomb. In order to develop the atomic bomb, Chairman Mao ordered the beginning of the exploitation of uranium ore, if you want to develop an atomic bomb, it is certainly indispensable to raw material uranium ore, at that time, China's Guangxi found a large number of uranium ore.
China obviously has any mines, why can't we develop atomic bombs, after getting raw materials, China has also entered the stage of developing atomic bombs. Developing an atomic bomb is not just talk. At that time, the Soviet Union had promised China to jointly develop an atomic bomb, but after the contradictions in the relations between the two countries, Soviet experts took away nuclear weapons-related materials, and China had to develop atomic bombs independently.
At that time, many countries believed that China could not develop nuclear weapons on its own, but Chairman Mao said that within eight years we must develop nuclear weapons independently, because Chairman Mao knew very well that only atomic bombs could protect our country from being bullied.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > China with independent research and development, the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated in 1964! </h1>
Without the support of other countries, China had no choice but to develop it on its own, and Chairman Mao believed that it could succeed in research and development within eight years. However, Chairman Mao was very pleased with one of Liu Jie's materials; as long as the support of raw materials and manpower was guaranteed, perhaps within two years our country would be able to produce an atomic bomb.
Chairman Mao made up his mind that he must see with his own eyes the explosion of the atomic bomb in our country. 1961 was also the most critical year, China's atomic bomb research and development has reached the most critical stage, but the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom in Moscow announced that they could not do nuclear weapons research and development underground, this news is simply to give China and France a blow, because at that time many countries were afraid of China's successful nuclear weapons research and development.
Although many countries have targeted us, in 1964, we successfully detonated an atomic bomb in Lop Nur . This atomic bomb is also based on the achievements of China's independent research and development, and without relying on anyone, China's research and development personnel have successfully detonated the atomic bomb with their own efforts. When this mushroom cloud slowly lifts off, it also means that China has begun to enter the era of nuclear weapons.
China's nuclear weapons detonated successfully, and the United States believed that China could not build an atomic bomb in 20 years, and the most targeted China was Japan. Seeing the success of China's atomic bomb research and development, Japan also borrowed the strength of the United States to target our country, but western countries do not know that China will always be a country that yearns for peace. Nuclear weapons are developed only to protect our country, not to target a particular country.
After the successful detonation of the atomic bomb, Chairman Mao realized his dream. Although Chairman Mao once said that the atomic bomb was just a "paper tiger," Chairman Mao was well aware of the importance of the atomic bomb. Only with nuclear weapons can we defend the strength of the motherland. Since then, China has also become the fifth country in the world to possess nuclear weapons, and to this day China has also become a major nuclear power. Only by making yourself incomparably powerful will you not be led away by the enemy.
Summary: 100 years ago, China may have lagged behind the West, but 100 years later, China has become the world's second largest economic power. In just 100 years, our country has accomplished many things that the country cannot accomplish, and all of this is the credit of our party; without our party, how could there be a happy life for the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation; without our party and without Chairman Mao's thought, we are afraid that we would still be living in the era of class rule.
