What would happen if there were no "two bombs and one satellite"? Let's start with the words of the first Finnish ambassador to China
In the long history of China, there is a moment that will always be remembered -- that is, the successful development and launch of the "two bombs and one satellite." This great historical moment is not only an important milestone in the history of China's science and technology, but also an important support for national security and international status. However, if there were no "two bombs and one satellite", how would our history be written? Let's start with a quote from the first Finnish ambassador to China to explore this thought-provoking question.
In 1955, when Finland's first ambassador to China, Sun Shidun, presented his credentials, he told Chairman Mao Zedong: "Nuclear weapons are very powerful, as long as a few hydrogen bombs are dropped on China, China will be finished." This sentence was undoubtedly a severe challenge to China's international status and national defense capability at that time. However, it was precisely this challenge that inspired the determination of the Chinese people to be self-reliant and work hard, and also gave birth to the "two bombs and one satellite" project.
The "two bombs and one satellite" project is the abbreviation of the nuclear bomb (atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb), missile, and artificial satellite that China organized and developed in the 60s of the 20 th century. In the face of international nuclear threats and nuclear blackmail, China's leaders have taken a far-sighted view and made the strategic decision to independently develop the "two bombs and one satellite." Behind this decision, there is a firm safeguard of national security and a positive contribution to world peace.
Without the "two bombs and one satellite," China's national security would undoubtedly be the first to be threatened. In the era of nuclear weapons, the possession of nuclear weapons is an important guarantee of national security. If China does not have nuclear weapons, it will be in a passive position in the international arena and it will be difficult to effectively safeguard the country's core interests. In addition, China, which does not have nuclear weapons, will lack sufficient deterrence in the face of foreign invasion, and its national security will be seriously threatened.
Second, China, which does not have the "two bombs and one satellite," will also have a serious impact on its international status. In the era of nuclear weapons, the possession of nuclear weapons is an important manifestation of a country's comprehensive national strength and international status. If China does not have nuclear weapons, it will be difficult to gain the respect and status it deserves in the international arena. In addition, China, which does not possess nuclear weapons, will find it difficult to effectively safeguard its national dignity and interests in the face of international nuclear threats and nuclear blackmail.
However, it is precisely with the "two bombs and one satellite" that China has been able to gain a firm foothold in the international arena and provide a solid guarantee for the country's peaceful development. On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully exploded; On June 17, 1967, China's first hydrogen bomb was successfully exploded. On April 24, 1970, China's first artificial earth satellite was successfully launched. These milestone achievements not only demonstrate the wisdom and courage of the Chinese people, but also greatly enhance China's international status and influence.
Looking back at history, we can't help but ask: What would China's history have been like without the "two bombs and one satellite"? Perhaps, we will face more wars and disasters; Perhaps, our country will remain passive and backward for a long time; Perhaps, our nation will lose its self-confidence and dignity. However, it is precisely because of the "two bombs and one satellite" that we have been able to hold our heads high on the international stage and win precious time and space for the country's peaceful development.
Today, when we look back on that arduous history, we can't help but be filled with emotion. It is precisely those scientists and the broad masses of cadres and masses who have fought bravely for the interests of the state and the dignity of the nation who have forged the brilliant achievements of the "two bombs and one satellite" with their wisdom and sweat. Their deeds and spirit will forever be engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people and become a source of motivation for us to keep moving forward.
