When a copy of the article "On Using the Network of Overseas Chinese in Guangdong to Expand Propaganda in Guangdong" was sent to Wei Ze's desk, Wei Ze couldn't help but be stunned. Wei Ze, of course, knew how Sun Dacang deceived overseas Chinese and made them pay to support the revolution. But as a northerner, Wei Ze has no concept of overseas Chinese.

And now the war is gradually taking shape, to the point of being touched. According to the news from Hong Kong, the British side has reorganized its army, and several large ships have arrived in Hong Kong. When the British are fully armed, the next thing will naturally be a war. What the Governor's Office needed at this time was not a comprehensive and meticulous publicity, but a more powerful rallying of hardcore supporters. Even so, this report from Jiangmen made Wei Ze feel bright.

The great army, starting with the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, was able to perform countless miracles because it always knew what it was fighting for and for whom. "Why to fight and for whom" is a question that all leaders who are above the passing score have to think about.

The reason why the modern nation-state system has risen so strongly is precisely because this system allows the citizens of the country to be included in a "natural group" to the greatest extent.

Weeser wondered why the light-haired men of Europe thought of themselves as Roman successors. In the Roman Republic or the Imperial era, these people were standard barbarians. The Romans are black and black-eyed. The black-eyed Roman bloodline was discriminated against in southern Italy. The French claim to be of Gallic descent, but in fact the real Gallic descendants are probably a little bit on the Swiss side. The French and Germans are genuine blood relatives. As for the Egyptians, Weese didn't bother to mention that there was really a gulf between Pharaoh and the Green Cult.

However, the modern nation-state is able to use a simple and clear viewpoint, even if this viewpoint is not tenable in terms of genetic research, but this viewpoint has given the people a common attribute. All classes and religions must subjugate to the "xx nation" and "xx people" created by the modern nation-state. Whether it is a king, a nobleman, a capitalist, or a proletarian, they all have a common attribute, "the people of the xx country". Then this common attribute also created a common front, and then clearly separated the enemy and the enemy, and demarcated the boundary.

The Governor's Mansion is an interest group around Wei Ze, and they just want Wei Ze's ideas as their ideas because Wei Ze is promoting a "modern nation-state", whether they agree with it or not, based on the same group. But this is far from enough, in order to unite the hearts of the people of the two Guangxi in the short term, Wei Ze can only create a "common identity" that the people of the two Guangxi can understand and identify. Undoubtedly, the overseas Chinese have been in contact with modern European nation-states, and they are the group of people who can best understand the formulation of Weese.

Wei Ze immediately convened a meeting of the Standing Committee, first showed Wu Qilu's document to everyone, and waited patiently for everyone to read it, before Wei Ze said: "I built yì, during this purge, anyone who has the identity of overseas Chinese, you can let them go for the time being." ”

Bi Qingshan immediately frowned, "Governor, those overseas Chinese made money overseas, so they returned to Guangdong to buy land. Guangdong's land issue has something to do with them. If we let them go first, there will be too many people in our list who need to be adjusted. ”

"There's really no chance to break it down right now, so let's do it first. After the big tobacco merchants are completely eradicated, we will talk about what to do with these people. Weese replied. Having personally become the governor of the Governor's Mansion, Wei Ze finally understood why many high-level orders seemed almost unreasonable. Because where does the senior management have time to distinguish those subtle things, if it avoids accidental injuries and becomes the benchmark of the high-level, then the high-level does not have to do anything. The formulation of high-level policies was based solely on the main contradictions to be resolved at that time. The higher the level of awareness of contradictions, the more targeted the policy will be. At the same time, the policy is less personal than it is.

For example, if Wei Ze wanted to seize the ruling power of Guangdong, he had to solve the land problem, and the landlords were undoubtedly the targets that needed to be eliminated. And Wei Ze did not dare to release the big killer of class contradictions at the moment, which could only fully arouse the desperate resistance of the landlords. Therefore, Wei Ze can only start from the perspective of "justice" and first eliminate the "big tobacco dealers" and "traitors" who harm the fundamental interests of the Chinese people. Although many of these overseas Chinese are also "big tobacco dealers" and "traitors", Wei Ze still let them go for the time being. In order to use overseas Chinese to promote the establishment of a "modern nation-state", Wei Ze temporarily let these people go. If these overseas Chinese are willing to defect to Wei Ze, Wei Ze will fully cooperate with them, and even entrust them with important tasks. Many times, the policy is so cruel and unreasonable.

Of course, the Standing Committee members can understand the issue from this perspective, and even if they do not understand it, they know another reason. First, Governor Weserdu was right. Second, if Governor Viséthu is incorrect, then see Article 1.

Of course, Weeser also had a good reason to convince everyone. Most Cantonese people have never met foreigners and have never dealt with foreigners. Guangdong locals know that overseas Chinese from Guangdong have dealt with foreigners, so they will naturally believe the words of the overseas Chinese around them. Then, as long as the propaganda caliber of overseas Chinese can be controlled, the propaganda work of the Governor's Mansion will naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After listening to Wei Ze's explanation, Bi Qingshan nodded in agreement, "I hope the British won't call so quickly, leaving us enough time for the comrades below to adjust the list." ”

Li Yuchang, who was in charge of commercial work, did not care about the army or the work of granting land orders, so he was not interested in the issue of overseas Chinese. Li Yuchang asked: "What should we do if the British do not leave after occupying the city of Guangzhou?" ”

Wei Ze smiled: "The British are not strong enough, and it is actually a good thing that they have occupied the city of Guangzhou for a long time. We sent small detachments to cut off the road between Canton and Hong Kong, and we continued to harass and attack Hong Kong with small troops. They can't stand it! ”

"What if the British withdraw to Hong Kong?" Li Yuchang continued to ask.

"The purpose of the British is very simple, they want to control Guangdong, so that there is no restriction on the sale of big cigarettes. They won't retreat lightly. Weeser gave a clear answer.

Li Yuchang nodded again and again, he agreed with Wei Ze's attitude, so Li Yuchang asked in a puzzled tone: "But we have now reached such a point in recovering the Governor's Mansion, and the British obviously can't do this?" ”

Wei Ze paused for a moment, and when all the eyes of the Standing Committee members were focused on Wei Ze, he said: "War is a continuation of politics. It is the war that is attached to the government, not the government. Of course, the British did not know that they could not defeat us by means of war, and according to their experience, if they could defeat the Manchus by war, they would naturally be able to defeat us. So after the British were unable to negotiate a big tobacco trade in Canton, they naturally chose the means of war that they thought would bring us to their knees. The reason why we sent our brothers in the Liberation Army to the battlefield and put them to face death was not because we were keen on killing, but because we had to prove to the British that they were wrong in trying to use war to bring us to our knees and let them continue the big tobacco trade that poisoned the Chinese people! This is what we must make the troops understand! We did not go to war because we loved war, we went to war for the sake of China's interests and peace! ”

When he expounded this reason for war, Wei Ze was full of emotion and firm. Because these reasons are the reasons why Wei Ze firmly believes that there is no mistake, not only now that he dares to say it so frankly, even if these words are recorded word for word in the history books, Wei Ze also firmly believes that future generations of Chinese can also accept Wei Ze's war reasons and accept Wei Ze's war actions.

Even decades after the war, the vast majority of Chinese can still fully agree with the reasons for the war at that time, agree with the propaganda of the war at that time, and admit that those wars brought peace to New China. The soldiers were willing to accept such reasons and go to the battlefield for such ideas. Weeser hopes that he can continue this glorious history, at least as long as possible.

The Standing Committee members were obviously persuaded by Wei Ze that if they decided to spare Wei Ze for the time being not long ago, it would be more out of the obedience of the subordinates to the superiors. As for the reason for going to war with the British, everyone really agreed with Weese's concept after understanding it and supported such a war choice.

"So start blocking the news now and retreat from Guangzhou City on a large scale?" Li Yuchang's tone was not questioning, but asking.

"Except for the relinquishment of Guangzhou City, other areas will not back down. We had to make the British happy first, thinking that they had easily crushed us and driven us out of Canton. When they have achieved the goal of the campaign, they will continue to pursue the strategic goal with all their might. At that time, it was time for us to teach the British a good lesson and completely eradicate the big tobacco dealers who colluded with the British! Weeser recounted his thoughts.

However, Wei Ze actually knew that regardless of whether the big tobacco dealers colluded with the British or not, they had already been written on the list of "collusion with the British" drawn up by the Liberation Army. The rest would have evolved into the idea that "collusion with the British" would be tantamount to "traitors". In order to safeguard national interests, the modern nation-state must eliminate "traitors". Whether it is a "real traitor" or a "traitor", when the contradiction between the enemy and us rises to a military conflict, the elimination of the enemy becomes inevitable.

The reason why Wei Ze wants to create a modern nation-state is because people with the identity of a modern nation-state do not have the slightest sympathy for "traitors". Wei Ze doesn't need to think about this, he himself is a clear proof of this. For traitors, Wei Ze never had sympathy. When it comes to killing traitors, he will only think that "not enough killings".

The Governor's Mansion only needs to give a reasonable explanation to the people of Liangguang, and this is enough. As for whether some of the big tobacco dealers have been wronged, Wei Ze doesn't care at all.
