Small joke of Hubei Yangtze River Bridge

At the beginning of the founding of New China, in order to consolidate China's national defense, the first five-year plan was launched in full swing throughout the country. 1956, before the completion of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the state began to plan to build the Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing in order to connect the north and the south and run through beijing-shanghai railway. The construction of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is helpful to promote the economic take-off of the cities around Nanjing and facilitate the surrounding traffic.

In order to complete such a big project that benefits the country and the people, General Xu, then commander of the Nanjing Military Region, took great pains to pay attention to the progress of the project all the time. 1968, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, which was built for many years, was finally completed in this year. Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge embodies China's superb bridge-building skills, and also adds a lot of color to the history of bridges in the world.

Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, with its proud heroic posture, has also become a landmark building in Nanjing, and won the Guinness Book of World Records in the name of "the longest highway and railway bridge in the world" on 1960, becoming a great project attracting worldwide attention. Since the 1960s, Sino-Soviet relations have gradually deteriorated.

1969, the second year after the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was finally completed, we just celebrated the 20th anniversary of the founding of China New China. In order to celebrate the birthday of the motherland, the general decided to personally test the quality of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

In order to test the quality of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, General Xu ordered the transfer of 1 18 heavy tanks weighing 32 tons from northern Jiangsu overnight. Let these 1 18 heavy tanks stand 50 meters apart and pass through the deck of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in turn. Two hours later, 1 18 heavy tanks have all crossed the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

However, this river-crossing bridge, which was independently built by China people, still stands proudly in its original place, and the bridge body is intact, which has won a sigh of relief for the bridge construction project in China. China's practice of using heavy tanks to check the quality of bridge projects has also shocked the world, and many countries also want to learn from China's practice of using tanks to check the quality of bridges.

1970, Czechoslovakia celebrated the completion of the 600-meter-long Russell Bridge, which is also the longest bridge in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia decided to follow China's example and test the quality of bridges with heavy tanks. On the same day, the Czechoslovak government called a large number of journalists and people to witness the heavy tanks crossing the bridge to test the quality of the bridge.

The Czechoslovak government allocated 120 T-55 tanks weighing 35 tons from the military department. Just after the tank was moved onto the bridge deck, only five minutes later, a large crack of 12 appeared on the bridge body of Ruerlai Bridge. Seeing this situation, technicians quickly stopped the advancing tanks. The Czechoslovak government immediately dispersed the reporters and people who came to watch, in an attempt to block the news that the quality of the Ruselle Bridge was not up to standard.

However, there is no windtight wall in the world, and the news that there are serious quality problems in the Ruselle Bridge has spread internationally. The plagiarism of Czechoslovakia government not only failed to enhance Czechoslovakia's self-confidence, but also made a joke, which cost 654.38 billion yuan to maintain.
