Chapter 129: The Changed Man (Asking for Votes at the Beginning of the Month)
Behind the scenes, Lee Kit is driving the transformation of this world and accelerating the process of this world, because he firmly believes in the simplest belief, that is, to create a better world.
He did many things for this belief. It's like a conversation between the prime minister and the president of Russia. This big invisible hand pushes the whole world forward in an orderly manner.
It's not by force or anything like that. Instead, relying on his personal charm and belief, Li Jie has united a group of like-minded people, so that many heroes are willing to contribute to the cause of building a new era. Rely on their outstanding abilities to contribute to the new world.
And this push is profound, and at the same time it has changed the lives of many people.
For example, Kurno, a rural guy in Ukraine, if it weren't for the various plans promoted by Li Jie, maybe his life would still be in a rural area of Ukraine, working hard in the orchard, and his family would struggle against poverty.
Or go to a harsh military camp to receive all kinds of training, even including possible bullying. Or, like his second brother, go to a big city like Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, to find a job that barely survives.
For example, his second brother's job as an apprentice bakery in Ukraine is very hard and meticulous because of the low salary and heavy work. If it weren't for learning various techniques for making bread and pastries, Kurno's second brother would have quit a long time ago.
And about the recruitment of super high-speed rail, it was also told to him by Kurno's second brother. For this purpose he came to Kyiv from the countryside, and on the train he also met Katyusha, a graduate of Kyiv University.
Through layers of screening, because Kurno has a clean background and no bad habits, and also has some basic knowledge of welding and mechanical maintenance (all learned from the repairman's agricultural machinery), Kurno was successfully selected by the New Eastern European High-Speed Rail Group and became a glorious railway worker.
Because of his knowledge, Kurno does not have to become a basic worker who drives piles on construction sites and builds infrastructure. He was assigned to the maintenance class, starting as a junior maintenance worker.
This makes Kurno's salary a little higher, although the work of the maintenance shift is actually more tedious. But Kurno felt that his luck was not bad.
Compared to his colleagues, Kurno didn't have any bad habits, he didn't drink or smoke, and he even started reading a lot.
In his spare time, he began to read the famous Soviet book "How Steel is Made". Because he remembered what Katyusha said to him on the train.
"I want to say like Paul Kochagin when I am old: I have no regrets in my life. ”
Kurno knew the book "How Steel is Made", but he never actually read it. Now, because of Katyusha, he began to read this world famous book.
Paul is Ukrainian, and the first place where the story takes place is Kyiv, which makes Kurno very immersive. Especially when he read that Paul began to build the Trans-Siberian Railway, which made Kurno's blood boil even more.
Because he is also a road builder now, Paul can be a hero, so why can't he be a hero?! Even if he is so ordinary and small, if he can build the world's greatest railway, he is still a hero.
Connecting the whole world, when you grow old, you can stand in front of your children and grandchildren and proudly say, "I have fought to change the world with these hands!" Maybe it will be the most glorious moment for me.
No one gives themselves medals, but it doesn't matter. Because every sleeper, every rail, every rivet is a witness. The passing trains and the passengers are your own achievements. All of these are invisible medals, and they will always hang on their chests.
Every time I think of this, Kurno is full of strength. Although some co-workers laughed at him for being a little stupid. But what if you are stupid? Paul is quite stupid, why did he stand up against the Nazis when he was young? Is it not good to be obedient to the people after the capture of Kyiv?
Why did he join the army as a cavalryman and fight bloody battles in the Great Patriotic War? Isn't it good to hide in the rear obediently?
Why did he go to the terrible Siberia to build a railway when the war was over? The cold wind and snow even froze his otherwise strong body. Isn't it good to retire obediently and go home to farm?
Why, after finally being able to live a peaceful life, still have to fight corruption and bureaucracy with an unhealthy body and humble rights, and even give a final cry for this? Isn't it good to obediently go along with the dirt?
Perhaps it is because of this unwillingness to live an 'obedient' life that Paul Kochagin is Paul Kochakin, and it is because of this that he is remembered.
To live, people always have to be a little spiritual.
When the break was over, Kurno closed "How Steel is Made", which he had begun to read a second time, and carefully examined his equipment.
'I was a bit stupid, I didn't read much, and the culture of junior high school prevented me from being like Katyusha. She could be a great assistant and designer by the side of Chief Engineer Dr. Banner. ’
But I have my pride and my faith. For some, it may not be worth a penny. ’
Because I'm a bit stupid, I just want to be a solid brick, a hard piece of iron. In this world, realize my value with my steel!'
'Small and ordinary, but I am the indispensable steel of this world!'
Pushing open the door of the dormitory, the sun rose, the golden sun, which sprinkled the land of Eastern Europe with its own warm sunshine, which had begun to be full of chills.

The people who have been changed are not only rural boys in Eastern Europe, but also the world-famous doctor Strange has also had a deviation in his life because of the affairs of Li Jie and his companions.
Dr. Strange didn't have the crash that ruined his career, and he didn't finally find Kamataki in his hard quest, and then inherited the mantle of the Ancient One and became a new generation of Supreme Mages.
Because of Lee, because of Thor, Strange has changed a lot. He began to understand what he was afraid of, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to save the lives of his patients and refused to do surgeries that had a high probability of success.
It's not that I'm worried about my signboard being smashed. His only fear was that he was once again in the abyss of pain. It's like the failed operation he did for his own sister.
He didn't want to save anyone, he wanted to save himself. Once he understood what was going on in his mind, Strange knew what he was supposed to do.
He quit his well-paying job at a private hospital and joined the purely charitable Médecins Sans Frontières. For others, MSF provides free clinics in medically disadvantaged regions of the world, and they are life-saving angels.
But Strange is well aware that what he is doing is not simply to save others, but more importantly, he needs to save himself through such things.
Save your frozen heart.
Chile in South America, which used to rely on guano sales, was once among the developed countries. Even before World War I, Chile's navy was even more powerful than that of the United States.
But when guano is mined, the country is almost finished. Chile did not improve the country's infrastructure and scientific and technological research and industrial construction in the era of guano dividends.
Instead, all the guano dividends will be used to improve national welfare. For a period of time, Chile had one of the top 10 highest national happiness levels in the world. Sounds great, doesn't it? But when the guano dividend disappears, everything is beaten back to its original form.
Even Chile had to sell a considerable amount of land for lease to foreign agricultural groups in exchange for cash. For example, the Costa Group of Sunspots Roberto Costa has a considerable number of farmsteads in Chile.
Of the more than 10,000 Tuvaluans who had previously dispersed from Tuvalu, a significant number of them worked on farms here. The farm mainly produces corn, which is then processed into corn syrup. Corn syrup is one of the world's most important sources of sugar and is sweetened to most beverages.
Penny, who immigrated from Tuvalu, works here and is grateful for her current life. Although the work on the farm is a bit hard, it is much better than in Tuvalu.
There is no future in sight in Tuvalu, especially in her mother's leg nerve atrophy, a disease where there is no cure at all.
But now there may be hope, because she has heard that a team of MSF is coming to Chile. Among them is a world-famous doctor, who is a top expert in neurology.
Either way, Penny was hoping to get the expert to see her mother.

"I want to say, Professor, can we just come here like this? I always feel a little dangerous to go straight to Magneto. Li Jie asked, pushing Professor Charles's wheelchair as he walked on the soil of South America. Accompanying Li Jie was Lan who helped him open the door of time and space. At the same time, there is also a Thor.
Professor Charles waved his hand and said, "It's still necessary, because the appearance of Inhumans is a variable for mutants now. We need to revise our attitude towards Marx. And Tuvalu's mutant country can also be shown to him. ”
"Does he want to build a kingdom where mutants and humans live in peace, or do he want mutants to become neo-Nazis? We need to have a break. ”
"There's you, there's Thor, there's Arashi, and me. I think we should be able to talk more 'peacefully' with Magneto. Professor Charles said with a smile.
"Okay. Li Jie could only agree with the professor's statement. Because capturing Magneto itself was one of his plans, especially when Tony wanted to build Starport, then Magneto's abilities became indispensable.
Perhaps a Magneto's ability to build a starport in the universe could be compared to a thousand Constructive Steel Warframes. This ability is too important, whether it is to convince people with reason or force, it is always necessary to make Magneto obey.
"Now I just hope that the Hydra organization hidden in Chile will be able to fight a little harder, and not be wiped out by his little brothers without leading Magneto. Li Jie expected.
"Hydra is indeed a bit miserable, and it can't even lift its head when it is beaten by the mutant brotherhood. If they are completely eliminated, it will be difficult to find a suitable person to take the blame in the future. ”
As soon as Li Jie said this, Thor, Lan, and Professor Charles all looked at him with strange expressions.
