A doctor who travels through two eras

"Comrade Kolokoltsev, I need you to explain what you are doing?"

Leader Jing was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he pointed at the machine parts scattered on the floor and started to curse:

"We did not invite you Soviets to come here. You came on your own initiative. We welcomed you warmly. And this is how you repay our friendship? Your behavior is stealing and immoral!"

Since he is of a higher rank, he naturally does not feel any psychological pressure when scolding others.

What's more, although the two countries still had a "brotherly alliance" relationship in 1960, everyone on the planet was waiting for the day when the two countries would completely fall out. Senior officials of both China and the Soviet Union knew that this day was coming soon.

Since they were about to become enemies, Leader Jing naturally had no time to be polite and his tone was quite stern.

Ambassador Kolokoltsev was also very angry. He was angry that the Chinese dared to speak to him so loudly. He represented Big Brother. Which other small socialist countries would not look at the Soviets' faces and speak carefully, fearing that the volume would be too loud?

And now a little Chinese dared to yell at him? Was he going to rebel?
The Russians lack tenacity and are not easily persuaded. Even if they are in the wrong, they don't think it's a big deal. To put it bluntly, they lack education.

"Jing, we dismantled your machines because we respect you. We think that China has new technology. As a brother country, shouldn't you obediently contribute the latest technology to Big Brother? But you actually concealed it from us. Big Brother is very unhappy with your behavior."

When Leader Jing heard this, he was really angry. His originally exaggerated acting skills turned grim:
“Why should we give you the new technology we invented for free?”

Kolokoltsev also responded strongly:

"We have been supporting you for so many years. Without us, the Soviet Union, you would not be able to establish a country, and even if you did, 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, the Chinese, should not be ungrateful!"

Leader Jing snorted and said sarcastically:
“Yes, at first we thought you were helping us, but we found out starting in 59 that your support came at a price, including during the Korean War, when you provided us with so many weapons and you charged for them.

Look at your so-called Big Brother, who suddenly turned against us and asked us to pay back our debts when our country was hit by natural disasters and faced the most economic crisis. Our country cannot afford to be attacked by such a Big Brother who adds insult to injury.

Since you want money and care about money instead of people, don't talk about friendship with us now. Let's talk about money. You broke our machine, please compensate us for our loss.

We spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop these X-ray technologies and build this production line. Every machine in this workshop was developed by us. One production line costs tens of millions of dollars. Now you broke it and you lose money. "

Kolokoltsev said disdainfully: "Who said we broke it? Just put it back the same way you took it down. What loss do you have?"

Leader Jing was waiting for this sentence, so he quietly looked at Lin Sanqi.

Lin Sanqi nodded slightly, indicating that he had dismantled the core parts as planned, and there was no way the Russians would be able to put them back.

"Well, Comrade Kolokoltsev, since you said you can put it back, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Show me how to put it back now. If you can't put it back, you must compensate us for all our losses!"

Kolokoltsev was a smart man, and he immediately felt that this was a trap, so he looked at the Soviet engineers next to him.

These Russian engineers are more confident than anyone else. It's just a machine. For mechanical experts like them, they can install it with their eyes closed.

“No problem, we can reinstall it!”

The Soviet engineers never imagined that someone was so cunning as to steal some core components without anyone noticing. After all, no one at the scene had touched anything, and the disassembled parts of the machine were so large that it was impossible to hide them on the person.

So the engineers are very confident.

Leader Jing continued with a sullen face: "Pull the camera over here and film it. We need evidence for everything. I want to see how you install it."

The more Kolokoltsev thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Combined with the fact that the Chinese workers had previously stopped working for unknown reasons to go out to eat, and even the diplomats had left with them, it seemed like they were creating an opportunity for them to dismantle the machines. Didn't this seem like a trap?
But he has no evidence.

They did dismantle the machines themselves, no one forced them to do so. Based on this alone, the Soviets are in the wrong.

At this time, they didn't know that the Americans next door had also been caught in an embarrassing situation and were also working hard to reinstall the recovery machine.

Kolokoltsev was somewhat alert, so he said, "Except for our Soviet comrades, everyone else please step back and don't come near!"

Leader Jing nodded: "Everyone back off!"

The workers and staff on the Chinese side all left, and Kolokoltsev looked at them suspiciously, making sure that there was nothing wrong with each of them.

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 enough parts.

Lin Sanqi took the opportunity to leave the machine and came to Leader Jing, who whispered:
"Where did you hide the parts? Be careful not to show up."

Lin Sanqi waved the "冂形小门" in his hand and laughed: "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem. Let's wait and see the show."

Leader Jing laughed: "You are so mysterious..."

After 10 minutes, the three Russian engineers began to sweat.

Half an hour later, I was sweating profusely as I faced a machine that had been assembled but could not be started at all.

Half an hour later, the Russian engineer was faced with a pile of disassembled parts and was completely puzzled. He had no choice but to continue reassembling them.

Similarly, in the workshop next door, the American engineers no longer tried to be stubborn. With gloomy faces, they assembled and disassembled a machine over and over again.

But no matter what, the machine just couldn't be restarted.

Although American engineers have fully understood the operating principles of this machine after several assembly attempts, the problem now is that they have destroyed someone else's most precious toy and are facing a huge diplomatic disaster.

Peter Welch was very nervous. He was only the deputy director of the Chinese office in China, a position he had gotten with great difficulty. If he did a good job, he could return home and become a formal ambassador to another country. If he did not do a good job, his career would be over.

So Peter Welch kept urging: "Fuck, why isn't it ringing yet?"

"Aren't you the most awesome professors and engineers at Johns Hopkins University and the University of California? You can't even handle this?"

"Oh my God, if you can't install it, the Chinese will kill us and feed our bodies to the dogs!"

Compared to his assistant's madness, Hank Aaron had calmed down. Judging from the abnormal behaviors of the Chinese people, he guessed that he was probably set up.

But Hank Aaron didn't care because he was confident that he was not backed by a small country but the only superpower. The Chinese didn't dare to do anything to their diplomats.

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 Russians, the Americans are too insidious and more difficult to deal with.

Finally, after three hours of torture, the American engineer gave up resistance and admitted that he had broken the machine.

In the next workshop, the Russian engineer also threw down his tools and retreated to the side with a red face.

There are some things that the big boss is not convenient to do, so the younger brother has to take the lead. With a look from Leader Jing, Eunuch Lin was the first to jump out:
"Soviet comrades, let us now talk about reparations."

Kolokoltsev obviously did not accept being blackmailed, especially by his younger brother:

"No, no, no, Lin, this is just an accident. If the machine is broken, we can guarantee to repair it. So, we are going to ship this machine back to Moscow, and we will send it back to you after we have repaired it."

Lin Sanqi clapped his hands:
"Comrade Kolokoltsev, I heard your plan in Guangzhou. Don't try to deny it. Without $500 million in compensation for this machine, we will not be done!" (End of this chapter)
