Chapter 1133 A Handshake Across Mountains and Rivers (First Update, Please Subscribe)
A large four-engine jet airliner was flying over the South Asian subcontinent.

Unlike ordinary aircraft, the aircraft is escorted by several MiG-19 fighter jets on both wings. The emblems on the fighter jets clearly indicate their identity - the Indian Air Force.

But the red flag logo on the passenger plane indicated that it came from another country - the Soviet Union!
This is the Soviet Union’s first four-engine large passenger aircraft - Tu-114!

This engine is installed at the rear of a long-range four-engine large passenger aircraft. It is Tupolev's masterpiece. It is a further improvement and development based on the Tu-104. Like the Tu-104, it uses a T-shaped tail, and two engines are arranged side by side on the left and right sides of the rear fuselage.

This long-range passenger aircraft had just passed acceptance half a month ago. Although it has not yet been put into use, Khrushchev still excitedly boarded it and began his journey to the South Seas.

You should know that his trip to Southeast Asia was delayed again and again because of the plane - without a suitable plane, how could he go to Southeast Asia?
Should we take bus No. 104?

How could a small plane like that be suitable for his status?

So, he had been waiting for this plane, waiting to take it to Southeast Asia to show the latest achievements of his Soviet aviation industry to Southeast Asia and the world!
When the plane flew over India, the pilot Alexei glanced at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and then fixed his eyes on the instruments. In addition to being a pilot, he also had another identity - Tupolev's son, the deputy chief designer of the aircraft and the test pilot.

Because the plane had just been put into use, Khrushchev was still a little worried, so before departure, Tupolev joked: To make you feel at ease, please bring my son Alyosha with you. Khrushchev naturally agreed to this.

So Alexei Andreevich Tupolev, deputy chief designer of the Tupolev Design Bureau, suddenly became a pilot.

"Tell the people behind us that we are about to fly over India and will soon enter Southeast Asia."

After knowing that the plane was about to enter the sky over Southeast Asia, Khrushchev looked out the window and could vaguely see the Indian Ocean.

From the Tsarist era to the present day, they have longed to dip their Russian boots into the Indian Ocean and feel the warm waters. Now they are gradually turning this dream into reality.

"India, Jakarta... just wait a little longer, and soon, all this will be realized."

For Khrushchev, the past few months have not been easy. It can even be said that the pressure is very great, because the situation has changed.

First, the United States began to relax restrictions on Eastern European countries a few years ago, allowing immigration and cultural exchanges, which exposed many Eastern Europeans to Western ideas. This subtle "soft infiltration" was the beginning of the US "evolution" plan, which was a strategy formulated by the Eisenhower administration to change the situation in Eastern Europe.

Compared with the previous radical armed confrontation, this method is less costly and has a significantly higher success rate. The US infiltration into Eastern Europe kept the Soviet leadership awake at night, because the Soviet Union was not as strong as the United States at that time, and the Soviet Union's economic data was slowing down from the post-war reconstruction boom.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union seemed to be booming, but in fact there were undercurrents. The Planning and Economic Committee believed that "in the near future the Soviet Union will have economic problems, especially agricultural problems."

Under such circumstances, if the Soviet Union lost its allies in Eastern Europe, its external environment would become increasingly worse.

Now, Khrushchev had a conflict with the Eastern University in the south. He became an "unwelcome person" at the Eastern University, which made Khrushchev nervous. As the saying goes, "losing a general before fighting", this was a blow to the Soviet Union's hegemony.

In this situation, in addition to frequently showing goodwill to the United States and hoping to have a dialogue with Eisenhower to ease the relationship with the West, improving relations with other members of the Western world has become the top priority of all work.

As the second largest economy in the Western world, Southeast Asia is naturally the focus of improving relations. A few months ago, the invitation from Southeast Asia gave Khrushchev an opportunity.

All we have to wait for is for the Tu-114 passenger aircraft to complete its test flight.

After all, as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, it was impossible for him to take a small plane and transfer midway.

After waiting for several months, he finally got the Tu-114, which has a range of 10000 kilometers, making it the longest-range passenger aircraft of its time. According to the design requirements, it can fly directly from Moscow to New York without landing.

Just after completing the test flight, Khrushchev got on it and came to Southeast Asia to show off his new toy - it was made in the Soviet Union.

"It will definitely scare the people from Southeast Asia!"

While Khrushchev was thinking this, the Tu-114 flew over the Malay Peninsula from the Indian Ocean and then entered the South China Sea. After entering the airspace over the South China Sea, six Super Thunders escorted it from the left and right wings.

"The Nanyang people's plane,"

Glancing at the plane outside the window, Khrushchev said:
"It's similar to our MiG-19, but far inferior to our MiG-21!"

This is not intentional bragging, but a fact - the MiG-21 fighter, a fighter with twice the speed of sound, has entered service in the Soviet Army, while similar fighters in the South China Sea are still in the test flight stage.

So, in this regard, they are ahead, of course... except for missiles! Nanyang's Sidewinder missile is the best close-range combat missile in the world.

When looking at the Sidewinder missiles hanging under the wings, some of the accompanying Soviet officers showed a little envy in their eyes, but more of desire.

In this way, the Tu-114 passenger plane flew all the way east, and finally arrived in the sky of Chang'an. Like all planes flying from the west, it first flew a distance to the northeast, and then adjusted its course to land in the southwest. This just revealed the whole Chang'an in front of their eyes. Looking at the skyscrapers and TV towers standing at the junction of the sea and sky, the glass curtain walls of the skyscrapers reflected all kinds of light, making the whole city shrouded in an inexplicable dreamlike and bizarre illusion.

Looking out the window at the city, the azure sea and the modern city were intersecting with each other between the sea and the sky. Khrushchev couldn't help but pursed his lips and then muttered.

"This is a capitalist city, with skyscrapers belonging to capitalists..."

Soon, the plane landed. As the large four-engine passenger plane landed, Zhao Jingye, who was on the satellite broadcast vehicle outside the airport, could see through the screen the moment the wheels of the plane touched the runway, producing smoke from the friction. The plane had landed!
Figure 144 shows the plane landing at Chang'an International Airport, which is then transmitted to the world via satellite.

When the plane was landing, Li Yian felt a little regretful - why wasn't the Tu-114 with a propeller?
The Tu-114 in another world is the largest propeller passenger plane in history. It has a sturdy appearance and is modified from the famous Tu-95 Bear. When Hercules visited the United States, because the fuselage was too high, there were no suitable ladders at American airports, so everyone had to use the escape ladder to get off the plane.

It is said that both the United States and the Soviet Union thought they had "won" at the time. The Soviet Union said that the United States was so poor that it couldn't even get a long ladder, while the Americans thought that the Soviets were inconsiderate and their embarrassed appearance was very ridiculous.

In short, everyone wins.

Therefore, "Winning Studies" has a long history and is not unique to one company.

Finally, after the cabin door opened, Khrushchev walked out of the cabin. He stood at the top of the boarding stairs and stopped deliberately, as if he wanted to feel the tropical sunshine. Then, he looked at Li Yian before walking down.

Finally, the two people met again. At a distance of two or three meters, they stretched out their right hands almost at the same time, and then showed warm smiles.

"Welcome to Nanyang."

"We finally meet again!"

Both of them seemed very enthusiastic, and the scene of their handshake was recorded by the photographer and broadcast live to the world.

This is a handshake that transcends thousands of mountains and rivers.

Afterwards, the two men jointly reviewed the guard of honor. As the military band played the national anthem, the two men walked in front of the guard of honor. Looking at the guard of honor holding Mauser K98K and wearing German military uniforms, Khrushchev could not help but complain in his heart.

A typical Third Reich remnant.

To a large extent, the Nanyang Army was deeply influenced by the Prussian military tradition, both in its external form and internally. After all, there were a large number of German instructors and officers in its army. But in the eyes of outsiders, this was clearly a remnant of the Third Reich.

However, he just complained in his heart. Afterwards, the two of them took a car and left the airport. On the way to the hotel, Khrushchev did not lean against the seatback as usual, but looked at the city outside the window with a scrutinizing look.

Li Yian stood aside with a smile on his face, just quietly waiting for Khrushchev to break the silence. When the car passed through the skyscrapers, he looked at the endless stream of cars and pedestrians on the roadside, and the peaceful and satisfied smiles on the faces of passers-by, and he felt a little complicated in his heart.

After a long while, Khrushchev said:

"In the West, many people like to use the Nanyang Miracle to prove the superiority of the Western world. What they say is not an exaggeration. It seems to be a fact."

This is indeed true. No country has ever been able to achieve such a miracle in just over a decade.

Nanyang Miracle!

It had already shocked the whole world, and now it also brought unprecedented shock to Khrushchev.

"I've been to England and France, but they are far inferior to Nanyang, and you have achieved all this in such a short time..."

Turning his head to look at Li Yian, Khrushchev said sincerely:
“What you have accomplished is truly amazing.”

Well, this is recognition from the other side of the ocean. Should Li Yian be surprised by this?

However, as far as he knew, Khrushchev would not just say these few nice words.

Sure enough, he continued talking.

"But all your achievements are based on the oppression of man by man, just like you yourself, you are a big capitalist, and almost everything here belongs to you.

Behind the prosperity of Nanyang, everyone is working for you and being exploited by you. Here, behind the so-called prosperity, apart from the air, what else belongs to them? "

Khrushchev's tone was serious. Listening to the criticism coming from around him, Li Yian fell silent.

But at this time, no matter what his position was, he could not remain silent. Not only could he not remain silent, but he had to respond immediately.

So he immediately said:
"Nikita, life itself is like color. The world is colorful, and so is the way of life. Every person and every country has their own way of life. The Soviet Union has its own way of life, and Southeast Asia has its own way of life. We don't have to impose our own things on others.

I think in the days ahead, you can see with your own eyes the life of the Nanyang people. Maybe life doesn’t seem to be anything, it exists just like air, and every day life is changing and getting better! ”

In response, Khrushchev said:
“This is what I came here for!”
