Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Interlude on the Train

The carriages of the broad-gauge train are one corridor wider than the standard gauge carriages, making the whole carriage appear wider and more comfortable.

And the second master even abandoned the hard seat that made him "sore in the butt", and all the hard seat carriages were designed with soft sofas, although they could not meet the first-class standards of later generations, but they were not much different.

In today's domestic passenger trains, the ride experience is very good!

Due to the high northwest, low southeast of China's topography, it is a climb all the way from Tianjin to the north into Outer Mongolia.

Therefore, the 16-car train has to be driven by two steam locomotive heads, no way, the power of the steam locomotive is too small!

But as long as you climb the Loess Plateau, you can drive the front of the car! The rest of the road is a gentle plateau meadow and hilly terrain.

The facilities in the carriage are even more luxuriously equipped with air conditioning and heating facilities, which is a historical precedent in this time and space!

Even the trains of the great powers have not installed these facilities, not that the great powers cannot afford to install them, after all, the train operating companies have to consider the cost of operation, and they want to make a profit.

But here in the second master of the traversal, these are not a thing!

He is as tall as he is! How to reflect the overall strength of Xinjiang will come! How to attract everyone's attention!

In order to attract the population of the mainland, the second master really did not hesitate to attract the attention of the people by unscrupulous means! There is only one purpose - to see how good our Xinjiang is! Why don't you hurry up?

Have Chinese people ever seen such a train? Tickets are even cheaper! From Tianjin to Urumqi in Xinjiang via Outer Mongolia, the whole journey is more than 4,300 kilometers, with only 50 oceans for sleepers and 10 oceans for soft seats.

The second master, this is purely a loss of money and making money!

Of course, when the rich are privileged, a bunk in the special box costs 500 oceans, which is 10 times the price of the general bedroom!

But the enjoyment is also exponential, with only two beds side by side in each box, just like the standard rooms of the later hotels. Not only do they have their own independent toilets, but also have 24-hour hot water supply, and the dining car has more intimate ordering service.

At this time, there were two ladies living in a state-class box, one of whom was a blonde with a pair of beautiful half-breed twin dolls.

I saw that the two little dolls were all black-eyed, the difference was that the little boy had short and thick black hair, while the little girl inherited her mother's curly blonde hair.

That's right! This is Jenny Carman, the one who pushed the second master backwards on the American train, a big reporter at the Chicago Tribune.

A chance encounter on Zhang Erye's trip to the United States made Jenny Carman difficult.

Within a few months of Jenny's return to Chicago, she found out she was pregnant, much to her surprise and horror!

At this time, the United States was still very conservative, especially for those who believed in Christianity. Unfortunately for ~ Jenny Carman's parents were standard Christians.

And abortion is illegal in the United States, and Christian rules are not allowed! This forced Jenny to return to her parents' farm home to quietly raise the baby and wait for childbirth.

She kept praying in her heart, hoping that her genes would be stronger, and she could defeat the genes of that ungentlemanly and annoying young Chinese, so that the child could show more of her genes, so that she could get by!

However, nine times out of ten, things that are not satisfactory in the world are not satisfactory, and this rule also applies to the United States. For Jenny's daily prayers, her God did not grant her wishes.

When giving birth to two mixed-race dolls with blonde hair and black hair, the whole family was stunned, and Jenny's father turned around and left, although he didn't shout and kill, but the old man's attitude showed everything!

Although the old lady likes two beautiful grandsons like little angels, don't want it! But that's just trying to take care of their mothers at home, trying to hide the existence of mixed-race children.

In today's American society, "white supremacy" is prevalent, racial discrimination is everywhere, and for mixed-race people, the tolerance of society is almost zero!

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and in the end, the outside world still knew about the existence of the mixed race of the Carman family, and some extreme racists even came to threaten them!

As soon as the old lady saw that this was not working, she suggested that her daughter send the child away and give it to their father to raise, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the two children in a discriminatory environment like the United States.

Jenny though reluctant, nonsense! What woman would want to give away her own child?

But the cruelty of reality forced Jenny to make a choice.

Then she thought of the address on the note, and with the help of her mother, Jenny boarded a cruise ship bound for Shanghai.

After some tossing, Jenny, who arrived in Shanghai, finally knew the fact that the children's father was the biggest warlord leader in this strange country, and his family was one of the best "big nobles"~~ This is Jenny's understanding.

But as a columnist, she knows exactly what a "warlord" is! Therefore, I am a little worried about the future and fate of the children!

She's a journalist! Not a housewife who knows nothing, she knows exactly what happens to warlords. Throughout the history of the world, none of the warlords of various countries have ended well!

In fact, what kind of aristocrat is Second Master Zhang? It's a big family at best! Since "will Xiangning have a kind of! After the slogan was shouted, there was no longer a word of "aristocracy" on the land of China!

"Jenny! You don't have to worry! The children's father was the most powerful governor of China's two provinces. Now no one in China dares to bully you mothers! ”

Sister Hua looked at the sleeping appearance of the two beautiful villains, and her heart was soft! Since this Jenny came to the door, after Sister Hua saw the two children, she said that she wanted to be the children's godmother.

"Isn't it a warlord? Why did you become a governor again? ”

Jenny was confused about the chaotic official names in China at this time, but she still knew how old the governor was! In the West, there is also the official position of governor-general.

"Hey! It doesn't matter what it's called! There is also a handsome one! Don't care what you call it, you just need to know that the child's father now has a huge territory, and no one dares to mess with him! ”

Sister Hua herself is also half-understood, how can she explain it clearly? What's more, Jenny, who knows little about Chinese, is even more difficult to explain.

Jenny also took advantage of the days when she was hiding in her parents' house, bored with her Chinese chef to learn Chinese dialogue, and after coming to Shanghai, she made up for it for several months, so that she could simply communicate with Sister Hua, and this was supplemented by body movements!

Otherwise, the two of them are talking like chickens and ducks, and it's strange to be able to communicate!

"Do you see the savannah in the distance?"

Jenny looked at the endless green prairie in the distance through the car window, and nodded obsessively, it was so beautiful! One glance at it made people immediately intoxicated ~~~

"This savannah is also the jurisdiction of the child's father. Even the train we took was repaired at his expense. What do you think? The children's dad is amazing! ”

Sister Hua has a kind of pride and honor, that is her own godbrother! How can you not be proud!

In the general carriage, two scholar-like men are sitting on the lower bunks, chatting and eating food bought at the halfway station.

"It seems that Outer Mongolia has been governed well by this Zhang Dadu Governor, and it is quiet and peaceful everywhere. There were herds of cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen's clothes were much brighter, and it seemed that every family had made money. ”

"Five years of tax exemption, can you not be rich? I don't know how to exploit it after the tax holiday! ”

"You can't say that! How many of them do you think there are in the Central Plains? There are many kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The Overseers everywhere don't have to give five years, even if they give the people two years of recuperation! The common people of the Central Plains will not have such a hard time! ”

"What kind of person is he? How have I heard that he is murderous! ”

"I don't know! It is rumored that he specializes in killing the Japanese, and is nicknamed King Zhang Yan. ”

"Why kill the Japanese? Although the Japanese government is arrogant, the Japanese are not all bad people! Isn't he careless of human life! ”

"I don't know the specific reason, some people say that Zhang Dudu was bitten by a Japanese dog when he was a child, so ~~~~"

What is this? He Zhang Erye was bitten by a dog when he was a child? Or a Japanese dog?

Fainted~~~ can't you make up some reliable reasons?

"Two gentlemen! Please show your ticket. ”

At this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly interjected. I saw two young men in black tunics say politely. Although the attitude is gentle and polite, the face is full of seriousness, which is unquestionable.

"What do you do? Why should we check our tickets? ”

One of them, a young cultural person around 30 years old, was a little unconvinced! This time, he sent his own teacher to Xinjiang to take up a post, and by the way, he inspected Xinjiang to see if he was also recruited to teach in Xinjiang.

The teacher was hired by the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government as the head of the physics department and lecturer of Xinjiang University.

Speaking of this, the young people became angry, the teacher was originally a professor at Tsinghua University, which is good, but being hired by this so-called Xinjiang University was demoted to a lecturer!

The director is just an administrative level, it doesn't care about teaching, and the teacher has taught all his life, so he is in charge of administration, what is this called?

The teacher is a great professor of the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University!

The teacher is also confused, and he bends his waist for the five buckets of rice in the Xinjiang Governor's Mansion, where is the teacher's backbone?

Although the conditions offered by Xinjiang University are indeed very high, the garden villa and the annual salary of up to 100,000 oceans will be tempting to anyone.

But the key is that ~ the teacher is demoted from a professor to a lecturer, and he can't bring a teaching assistant! What should I do as a teaching assistant?

This is not an isolated case on this train. There are many scholar-like characters in robes in the sleeper cars, talking to each other, watching the magnificent scenery of Saibei along the way rush to the unknowable future!

In order to cope with the arrival of the school season in September, Governor Zhang has recently been digging people everywhere in a frenzy, and even the priests and nuns of the church school have been poached by him, and promised to allow them to preach in Chinese in Xinjiang.

The major colleges and universities in China are the focus of the excavation of the metropolitan governor, and the major colleges and universities that are barely maintained because of the shortage of funds.

It's a good thing now, he Zhang Dadu used sugar-coated cannonballs and various promises to poach a piece of the biggest "fat" from major colleges and universities!

For a while, the colleges and universities cursed and complained, and there were complaints!

But the government of the Republic of China couldn't help it, the taxes couldn't be collected, and the only money was used to fight. Where can the Ministry of Education, such a clean water yamen, still ask for education funding?

Many colleges and universities have no choice but to raise their own funds to barely maintain normal teaching in schools, but it is even more common to owe teachers salaries. Many assistant-level teachers have to do private work to make ends meet!

"Oh! To the Xinjiang terminal? Please show your entry pass! ”

When the tunic saw the two of them, the attitude of the personnel entering Xinjiang was even more serious. At the same time, he showed his black paper. I saw that on the three-inch square black leather certificate, there were several eye-catching white characters [Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Military Commission of the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government].

The young man then opened the document with one hand, and saw the photograph of the bearer inside, all the duties available, stamped with the large red seal of the military commission and the steel seal of the governor's palace.

This document is exquisitely made and eye-catching, and the paper inside is dark and difficult to imitate, not to mention that there is a steel seal of the Governor's Mansion on it, and the outer skin is hardened black cowhide.

Nowadays, the documents are made of simple hard paper, where is there any dark steel seal! It is a cultural person who can imitate it.

From the production of a certificate, you can see the work style of the Xinjiang Governor's Office, which is serious, meticulous and excellence! The Xinjiang Governor's Office did exactly that.

"You are a university teacher hired by the Governor's Office? Sorry for the rudeness! Ms. Mei, please collect your ticket and documents. ”

"My teacher is a great professor at Tsinghua University! What a rude you guys! ”

The young assistant coach immediately became angry when he saw that the attitude of these two vote-checking people made a 180-degree turn. But before he could use his teacher's power to make a difference, the young tunic spoke again:

"You, pack your things, get off at the next stop, and take the evening return bus back. I will give you a certificate, the return trip is free, and you can give you a refund when you go to the ticket office with the certificate at Beijing Railway Station. ”

"Ahh Why? I'm with the teacher! ”

"I'm sorry! If you don't have a permit, you can't enter our territory in Xinjiang. Please cooperate and pack up your things. ”

The tunic is not accommodating.

"I protest! I'm seeing off my teacher! You can't be so unreasonable! ”

"Excuse me! Teacher Mei is escorted by us, and your send-off is over! ”

"Both! Can you be accommodating? He's my student, and this time he's really just here to see me off. I have so many books in my luggage that I can't hold them alone! ”

"Teacher Mei, don't worry! We will escort you on the journey, and you will be picked up by a special car from the school when you arrive at the station. ”

"That~~~That~~~"

Teacher Mei also had nothing to say at this time.

In fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still very accommodating to people who see them off, as long as they enter Xinjiang and send people to monitor the whole process until they leave the country. After all, most people are really here to see them off.

It's just that what annoys these two investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is that ~ this person didn't say anything on the train, and maliciously slandered the governor of Dadu that he was bitten by a Japanese dog, which is intolerable!

His prestige in Xinjiang is now rising, and the various policies he has formulated to benefit the people of Mongolia and Xinjiang have benefited a lot!

Some people even gave him Zhang Dadu Governor to set up an immortal tablet at home! The backbone of the Ministry of the Interior is even more of a diehard, and the worship and loyalty to Governor Zhang is beyond doubt!

So, they can make it better for those who slander their leaders at will?

There are two departments in the Xinjiang Governor's Office that have grown the fastest, one is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the other is the Military Intelligence Bureau. It's just that the focus of the two units is different.

The Ministry of the Interior specially recruits nationals with excellent military skills and pure ideology into the army; The Military Intelligence Agency, on the other hand, recruits orphans from various countries and cultivates them from an early age.

As for how many personnel the two departments have recruited in recent years, even Governor Zhang Dadu doesn't know! It was top-secret information from the Governor's Office and the Military Council.

But these two departments also have the most funding of any department in the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government.

And the heads of the two departments are indeed well known to Zhang Erye, and the first minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Mazi Macheng; The first director of the Military Intelligence Agency was the third bandit who returned from a mission in India.

Neither of them is a good stubble! One is sleek and treacherous, the other is ruthless. But what the two have in common is their 100% absolute loyalty to Governor Zhang!

I still don't have any professional manpower! He Zhang Dudu had no choice but to take loyalty as the first choice condition, everything is a rough creation, take your time!
