"War...... It's over? Uncle En sat across from Weser and explained the recent events in a very skeptical tone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"As long as the British sign an investment agreement with us in Australia and New Zealand, the war is basically over."

"Investment agreement?" Uncle En immediately became vigilant, after getting along with Wei Ze for so long, Uncle En had a strong sense of doubt about Wei Ze's choice. If a person always acts in a way that is beyond the imagination of a normal person, and can achieve his goals, it is easy to become a habit to be wary of such a guy.

Weeser walked to the edge of the world map and drew a vertical line from south to north with his finger in the west of central Australia, "From here to the west, we want 200 years of prospecting and mining rights." ”

Uncle En was not familiar with the geography of Australia, and seeing that Wei Ze was so open-mouthed, he asked mockingly, "Are the British willing to agree?" ”

Seeing that he could show off his knowledge, Wei Ze put away his smile and said, "To the west of this line, there is a great desert and no man's land. by the sea, but without water. The total population of the British on this roughly 2 million square kilometre territory was less than 100,000. Do you think the British will turn their faces on China for such a place where birds don't? ”

Uncle En no longer commented on this, and the problem of the British Empire can be explained in two words, that is, 'few people'. The population of 800 million in the Republic of China still feels that the labor force is very insufficient. The British Empire had a population of 40 million, but it was divided into many different ethnic groups. Even with this internal division, the British Empire felt that its country was too much of a waste. The bourgeoisie's urinary nature towards the population will never change. Since it is destined to be untenable, it is not surprising that Britain agrees with China.

Slowly sweeping his gaze over the upper half of the world map, Uncle En saw an unprecedentedly large Mindynasty. She straddles Asia and North America, holding half of the Pacific Ocean in her hands. To the west it controls the Indian Ocean, and to the east it has entered the Atlantic Ocean. Although Britain owned the original northeastern part of the United States, the Republic of China took possession of New York, which gave it one of the best ports in North America. In the entire Atlantic coast, there is probably no country that can compete with the fleet of the Minchao.

"Why didn't the Americans carry out the people's war?" Uncle En's thinking finally fell on this issue.

"Because the American people believe that the U.S. government and its organs of power are the masters of the United States. And we the Chinese believe that all our spoils of war will become the wealth of the people. It does not become the wealth of a very small number or a specific group of people, but the wealth of the whole Chinese. Therefore, it cannot be said that the United States does not have a people's war at all, but that the people's war in China is more thorough and more real than the people's war in the United States. Weeser made a conclusive assessment.

Such an arbitrary explanation made Uncle Eun a little short of breath, and he admitted that Weser was a very progressive man, and he had not shown the face of a reactionary until now. But among all Wei Ze's correct choices, there is only no tragic pity for the rabbit and the dead fox, this kind of feeling is a reaction that all human beings have, but Uncle En did not see such emotions in Wei Ze. Weeser's view of things is more like a mathematical formula.

Ignoring Uncle En's exclamation, Wei Ze asked bluntly: "Mr. Engels, what do you think of the enterprise management system we have implemented in the past two years?" ”

Enterprise management is one of the pillars of national operations, and the industrial development in Europe and the United States entered the high-speed channel from the general adoption of Taylor management by enterprises, and it was American enterprises that took the lead at that time. Weeser is well aware of the extent to which modern warfare can promote employment for all, and he also knows very well what kind of economic impact it will trigger after the end of modern warfare. As soon as the forced production, which is almost at all costs, ends, the big-ticket enterprises go out of business. After much deliberation, Weeser came up with a solution that was to implement a new business management model across the country.

"This kind of management model can really promote the development of productivity." Uncle En has always been very supportive of these measures to promote social progress, "I am very interested in the interpersonal relationship in the new production model. ”

Under capitalism, people are naturally divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and the bourgeoisie naturally occupies a decisive position. In China's social system and under the new management model, workers and managers are a two-way choice. Will such a new model produce a new class of natural determinants, or will it produce a new social form? Uncle Eun was really interested in this.

Seeing that he actually walked in front of Uncle En, Wei Ze was actually very discouraged in his heart. It's not that he thinks that Uncle En's level is limited, Uncle En's level is very high, and Uncle En's attitude is to analyze specific problems in detail, and he will never engage in any speculation.

The problem now is that Weser himself is doing everything in his power to withdraw from what he thinks is the best decision for the moment. This field is completely new to Weesel, in a country ruled by the bourgeoisie, through a complete survival of the fittest model to improve the level of enterprises, Weeser really does not know any country in history that has successfully tried to do this. There are many cases of failure or throwing off burdens.

Without help from Uncle En, Wei Ze could only follow the normal law of the development of things, that is, take one step at a time. The most important task at the moment is to retire and choose a backbone for the next ten years. It is enough for the current Minchao to have a standing army of 1.8 million. The 1.8 million standing army is not only to be defended, but also to build an army that can win the next war in this peacetime.

So Wei Ze called Shen Xin, "Shen Xin, have you prepared a list of members of the Retirement Review Committee?" ”

"Ready." Shen Xin replied immediately. Even if he didn't expect the war to end so easily, Shen Xin has always done things in an orderly manner, and will never advance or lag behind because of personal opinions.

"Give the list to the Military Commission, and let the Military Commission conduct a comprehensive review of these personnel." Wei Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

On August 15, 1891, Qi Rui received an order to leave the front line and return to Xinxiang. The war in North America was not completely over, but Qi Rui didn't want to stay for a minute. After he finished handing over the work, he immediately got on the train that departed recently, if it was before, Qi Rui would definitely take out his notebook, record his experience, and learn everything he recorded before. This time Qi Rui didn't do this, he packed all his things, except for towels, tea jars, soap and a simple change of clothes, Qi Rui only brought a small blank notepad and a small stationery box with only pencils, pens, rulers and erasers. Qi Rui, who was finally able to get out of the battlefield, completely left the battlefield behind.

For the next three days, Qi Rui slept in the car every day, was in a daze, and watched the scenery. On the first day, Qi Rui slept groggyly, and several times he suddenly felt a wave of nervousness and uneasiness, and immediately wanted to solve military affairs after waking up from his sleep. However, looking at the cramped sleeper compartment, Qi Rui struggled to convince himself that he had left the battlefield.

The next day, Qi Rui's mood began to fall inexplicably. I didn't want to eat anything all day, just lying on the sleeper and looking at the bed board above. Although he wanted to think about something in his mind, Qi Rui found that no matter what it was, it couldn't get into his mind. No matter what the thought is, it will quickly trigger Qi Rui's confirmation that he has left the battlefield. With such a confirmation, Qi Rui immediately became unhappy about everything and didn't care at all.

By the third day, Qi Rui found that the guards who followed him looked very nervous. wanted to open his mouth to speak, Qi Rui found that he couldn't say anything. The body seems to be disconnected from consciousness, as if it has forgotten how to speak. Recall, Qi Rui found that since he decided that he was going to leave three days ago, Qi Rui has never said a word. In fact, not only in the past three days, but for a long time before, Qi Rui didn't remember the last time he spoke because he wanted to speak. He also speaks, and he speaks solely for the purpose of getting the job done.

The last time Qi Rui could clearly remember that he had the urge to speak, was when his father Wei Ze visited North America, and Qi Rui asked a lot of questions at that time. At the same time, it has also benefited a lot. That was a year and a half ago. As for after that, Qi Rui completely entered the forced stage. In order to win the war, Qi Rui devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. I haven't been able to get out of that world until now.

"I'm fine." Qi Rui finally spoke. This voice was a little dry and hoarse, very different from Qi Rui's memories of his voice.

"Commissar, I'll pour you a cup of tea." The guard hurriedly replied.

Qi Rui just nodded, and lay down on the hard bunk again. Face up on your back with your hands behind your head. Qi Rui thought quietly, what am I going to do after the war is over? He didn't know what he was going to do. But a picture from the past emerged, it was a summer afternoon, and the sun was warm. In the water by the lake, beautiful swan parents swim on the surface with their fluffy gray children. There is no wind, and the lake is as calm as a mirror. The sky was reflected on the lake, it was all so blue, lying on the slope, with your feet on high and your head low. The two blues came into view at the same time, and Qi Rui didn't even know which side was the sky and which side was the lake.

That's Big Slave Lake. Qi Rui finally clearly recalled a past with clear memories. Then, like throwing a pebble into the surface of a lake, the transparent barrier between reality and memory fluctuates, and more memories flicker.

On the shore of Danu Lake, there are railways and wooden houses, which were built by Qi Rui and his comrades. The crane of the port of Danu Lake traveled from the lake, and a large number of steel rails were lifted from the tugboat, and the erection vehicles were put on the rails. Instead of the locomotive dragging in front, the vehicle is pushed in the back in order to make it easier for the rails to be unloaded onto the sleepers. The installed rails were hoisted and laid onto the gravel of the ballast. And Qi Rui also had the idea of using trucks on a large scale on the battlefield for the first time at that time.

The whole person was still lying there, but Qi Rui began to wipe the corners of his eyes and cheeks from time to time. Memories just pop up on their own, and you don't have to make any effort to recall. Such an easy process made Qi Rui cry for some reason. When he recalled the sentimental young boy in the past, Qi Rui could see his current indifferent and empty self. In contrast, Qi Rui found that he couldn't do it without tears. It's been four years, and Qi Rui finally really realized that he had spent four years in the war. In the past four years, change has taken place imperceptibly. When Qi Rui finally had time to look back at himself, he found that he was unrecognizable now.

In the evening of the fourth day, the train arrived in Xinxiang City. As soon as he arrived in the city, Qi Rui suddenly felt that he had misremembered something. In Qi Rui's memory, Xinxiang City is a military city. However, the number and proportion of people wearing military uniforms in Xinxiang City are far less than before. This military city seems to have been transformed into a large, normal city in the blink of an eye by some magic.

However, Qi Rui thought about it, he hadn't been back to Xinxiang City for nearly three years. Although Xinxiang City is still fixed in the moment in Qi Rui's memory, it is far from the case in reality. With some sadness, Qi Rui entered the North American Theater Command.

The commander was greeted by a colonel on duty, and the colonel was a fresh face, at least Qi Rui didn't remember seeing him at all. The colonel first looked at the major general younger than him with some envy, and when he learned Qi Rui's name, the whole person immediately became excited. "Director Qi, if you hadn't gone to Portland at the time, I would have almost been able to catch up with your class. What a pity! ”

By mentioning this, the part of the memory has recovered somewhat. Qi Rui recalled that he did give a lecture in Xinxiang City at that time, and it didn't take long for him to be sent to the branch school in Portland to talk about motorized operations. Because the people who came to listen to the class were all front-line combatants, in addition to motorized infantry operations, the students' knowledge and skills in other operations were only better than Qi Rui's.

The two of them had been talking for about twenty minutes when footsteps were heard outside. The one who came in was a lieutenant general, Qi Rui had seen it, and he had only seen it. As a front-line personnel and a new motorized infantry professional, Qi Rui has not been in the theater command. Not familiar with these personnel.

"Your car is late, so I'll go home for a meal first. I'm waiting for you! The lieutenant general held Qi Rui's hand and explained cordially.

Home for dinner? Go home for dinner when you go to war? Qi Rui really couldn't understand this. Now is the war, the war situation is changing rapidly, and the 24-hour duty without the slightest pause is the choice that the theater command should have. As a result, it was a colonel on duty, and the head of the theater command went home for dinner. What the hell is the truth about this?

If it had been before, Qi Rui would have asked a question a long time ago. Even if he didn't ask, he felt blocked in his heart, and naturally he couldn't help but bring it out on his face. Now Qi Rui only feels that his emotions are shaken, and he doesn't know whether he is happy or sad. And this kind of fluctuation is fundamentally shaken not to be the current Qi Rui. He said lightly: "Can the work be handed over now?" ”

"The Military Commission ordered you to return to China. But you can't be directly ordered to return to China, so I asked you to go back to Xinxiang first, and then go to Vancouver to take a boat back to China. The lieutenant general replied very neatly and made things clear in a few words.

"That'...... Can I book a train ticket now? Qi Rui asked.

These words surprised the lieutenant general, even if there was no arrangement to entertain Qi Rui, but the lieutenant general still persuaded: "Political Commissar Qi, after you come, you have to rest for two days before leaving, right?" I've been on the train for a few days, but if I take the train again, will I be able to stand it? ”

"That's not a problem. I just want to go back to Nanjing as soon as possible. Qi Rui replied decisively.

Seeing Qi Rui's firm attitude, the lieutenant general replied: "...... Well, I'll give you a parking space right now. By the way, the military academy said that Political Commissar Qi left a lot of things in your office in Portland, or you send someone over there to clean up your things. We're worried about what's going to happen if someone over there in Portland packs your stuff for you. ”

The army just has strength, and Qi Rui went to a sleeper that night, or a soft sleeper. I don't know how much the bed is stronger than the hard sleeper back this time. Qi Rui couldn't remember what his office in Portland was like. When he thought of the military school, all Qi Rui could think of was his residence at the military academy in San Francisco. What is even more impressive is the coach truck that Qi Rui often uses. It was a big six-wheeled truck. The wheels on each side of the rear row are double-rowed. Although the fuel consumption is large, it runs fast and transports a lot. It is a sharp weapon in the field. In order to solve the problem of fuel supply, Qi Rui and other members of the front committee have exhausted their energy.

After two more days of silence, Qi Rui arrived in the beautiful port city of Vancouver. The city is already a completely ordinary city, and the city is extremely lively at this time. Qi Rui thought that there was some kind of welcome ceremony here, and when he looked at the text on the banner, it turned out to be 'Vancouver Salmon Festival'.

Salmon is an important fish in North America, and everyone in the war has eaten an unknown number of canned salmon. Seeing such a festival, the guards were very excited. Combining food with reality was a new feeling for him.

There are many introductory texts on the salmon festival, and Qi Rui has limited interest in how to eat salmon. Even if the canned salmon tastes good, after eating hundreds of them, it is difficult to arouse interest. What caught Qi Rui's attention was the Kanban of the latest achievements. The latest achievement of the Republic of China is the artificial hatching of salmon fry. At least on the board, it is claimed that less than 5% of the salmon eggs in a previous school of salmon were able to hatch successfully. It is now possible to achieve up to 50% successful incubation. The reason for this is that the river system is not able to feed so many salmon fry. But this means that salmon can be reproduced steadily, ensuring a harvest for fishermen.

Qi Rui instinctively thought that this research was probably the order of his father Wei Ze. Except for Wei Ze, Qi Rui has really never seen anyone else have such a style of work. Recalling that he would soon be able to see his father, Qi Rui's face showed a smile. And standing next to his father must be his mother.

I really haven't been home in a long time. Qi Rui suddenly discovered this problem.
