"Zijia, this Zhang Wensheng, I think there will be a public trial. Anhui asked him to make a living for the tossed people, and when you go to Jiangsu, you will see the documentary, which is simply outraged. ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"Let me give you an example, a local tyrant in Fanji Town, Mengcheng, owns more than 30,000 acres of land, do you know how much the land rent is?"

"How much?"

"The tenant is two, and the landlord is eight."

"Can that? Will tenants still rent? ”

"If you don't rent, you can have it, this local tyrant has raised hundreds of family members, set up a private prison, and those who don't rent are imprisoned. Those who dare to resist are hung up until they are killed. ”

"The governor doesn't care?"

"Governor? The entire officialdom in northern Anhui was rotten, and officials took money from local tyrants and inferior gentry to endorse them. Wen Kai said that Zhang Wensheng and his gang can't shirk their involvement, and even if they use less dim sum, there will be no such erosive situation in people's livelihood. ”

"Alas! This man is confused. ”

"Wen Kai had no choice but to wash the local tyrants and inferior gentry in northern Anhui, this is not already infamous on my back, Duan Qirui and others publicly accused me of being a butcher. When they see the documentary filmed on the spot in a few days, I guess they'll slap themselves in the face with regret. ”

On the topic of Duan Qirui, Lu Yongxiang consciously closed his mouth, and as soon as he defected to Hu Wenkai, he commented that the old master would be abandoned by others. But I feel fortunate in my heart, Zhejiang himself is still concerned, although he has selfish interests, but in general, he is still passable, otherwise Hu Wenkai would not treat himself like this.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate, he still told Dai Jitao about his brother-in-law when he left.

Dai Jitao agreed, but his brother-in-law could not be reinstated, mainly because he didn't know how to read. Lu Yongxiang knew that this was Dai Jitao to save face, and did not tell his brother-in-law about eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

Tianxing Town suddenly became lively, one by one cars came from all directions, and the restaurants in the town were full at noon. The boss gave a rare opportunity to teach in public, Wang Xihai of Shanghai led the charter of the company's small passenger ferry to fill the company and drove to Yongxing Town, and Deng Jun rushed home from the construction site last night. Wang Hu and a group of people rushed from Nanjing to Nantong yesterday afternoon to stay, and Wei Qijun hosted a banquet to entertain Governor Wang and his entourage, and rushed to Tianxing Town by train early this morning.

Although Wang Xiuguo is old, he is very sassy, and he does not sit on the train, and the people who organized the Chamber of Commerce drove more than a dozen cars to Tianxing Town before noon.

In the lecture hall of more than 1,000 people, more than 1,000 tickets were issued, and Hu Wenkai held four tickets in his hand and was searched by Carrotta last night. Du Zijuan was anxious to find tickets everywhere and called Wang Changhui, and the three tickets in Changhui's hand were booked by her sister-in-law Pan Meiqin, and Pan Yanguang and the brothers made a special trip from Suzhou to listen to Hu Wenkai's teaching.

Wang Changhui was stared at, so he had to call Carrota and give a ticket to Du Zijuan from Carrotta. After Du Zijuan entered the venue with the ticket, he knew that he was sitting in a box, and sat in the box next to the stage with Carrotta, Hu Taojiang, and Hu Taoying.

Since going to work in the morning, Zhang Wen has been busy like a spinning top, and the boss has made a list of paper catalogs and needs him to find information. How is the boss of the stall chronic, the lecture will start in the afternoon, and the information will be listed in the morning. The phone in his hand has never been put down, and it is connected to the library of Far Eastern University. Finally, before 11 o'clock, all the materials were prepared and sent to the boss.

Hu Wenkai grabbed his head in a thousand ways, what kind of sin did he do, how could he agree to teach in public, this is going to be ruined, not to ruin the reputation of the first generation. The pen drew an outline on the manuscript paper, and he still held the phone in his hand: "Xu Liyun, did I arrange your display board yesterday and draw it?" ”

"The map of the world, well, to mark the countries, and the map of the First World War, and the map of China, well, and the steel production and railway mileage of the countries of the world in 1922 that I gave you yesterday."

"The stage workers are arranged? Teach them how to change the display boards? ”

"Well, you can just say that Hu Wenkai's report on China's main tasks at the present stage and China's opportunities after World War I will start now."

There are 10,000 grass and mud horses in my heart, and there is nothing lacking in this era, no projection, no computer, not even a host, only Xu Liyun, who is engaged in publicity, makes a cameo.

I was nervous, and after a casual meal in the office at noon, I stayed in the bathroom to take a bath and relax. Change into black trousers, white shirt, and pull cufflinks out of the drawer and put them on. Stuff the mess on the desk into your briefcase, grab the watch on the desk and put it on. Look at the time is almost two o'clock, and there is still half an hour to go to the podium.

"Liu Wenqin, go arrange a car to go to the lecture hall with me." Pulling open the door and shouting, he thought about it and walked back to the bathroom, rubbed a handful of hair wax according to Carrotta's instructions, and carefully combed it with a comb.

Under the command of the guards, the car drove all the way to the small backstage door of the lecture hall. With heavy steps, counting step by step, nineteen steps, how can it not be thirty-nine steps. I secretly warned myself not to be too fucking nervous.

Take out the materials in the briefcase and hand them to Liu Wenqin to put on the podium in advance. Lighting a cigarette and inhaling hard, Xu Liyun stood next to her in a crimson cheongsam, and couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw the boss's nervous appearance.

"Xu Liyun, if you laugh again or not, I will transfer you to Anhui."

"Boss, I don't laugh, I didn't laugh at you."

"Go and give me the mic."

Hu Wenkai took the microphone and patted it gently, and there was a knocking sound from the ten speakers in the lecture hall, and the lecture hall immediately fell silent.

Looking at the watch, the hands were almost half past two, and he nodded to Xu Liyun.

Xu Liyun walked to the center of the stage, and a female voice with a hint of dialect sounded into the microphone in the lecture hall: "The report on China's main tasks at the present stage and China's opportunities after the First World War is about to begin, and we welcome Mr. Hu Wenkai, honorary president of Far Eastern University, son of Hu Xingbang, martyr of the Xinhai Revolution, and close disciple of Mr. Liang Qichao, to give a lecture with warm applause. ”

Nima who arranged the opening speech, went back and then came to them to settle accounts.

Hu Wenkai completely forgot what nervousness was like, and raised the microphone on the side of the stage, and a magnetic standard Mandarin sounded in the lecture hall, and the deep bass caught the audience off guard.

The night of August 4, 1914. The lights of the city of London are as bright as the stars. British Foreign Secretary, Viscount Grey, looked out the window and sighed: "The lights are going out all over Europe." We will never see them rekindled again in our lifetimes. This sentence is one of the bleakest footnotes of those dark years.

Hu Wenkai slowly walked to the center of the stage, holding the microphone and looking around, he only saw the Great War I display board under the stage lights.

A great war weakens an old empire, disintegrates an empire, changes a dynasty, and gradually leads a young emerging country to glory.

Hu Wenkai walked to the display board, pointed to the display board and continued.

The British Empire, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, won the war and gained new colonies from it, and the enormous cost of the war made it impossible for Britain to continue to bear the huge financial expenses required to sustain an empire. Millions of people died and countless assets were destroyed in Britain, with the result of high levels of debt, chaos in capital markets, and a lack of British officials in the overseas colonies.

The pre-war creditor countries became post-war debtor countries, and the post-war economy was sluggish and sluggish for a long time, and the international financial center was shifted from London, England, to New York, USA. In World War I, Britain's merchant fleet suffered heavy losses, which devastated its shipping industry and led to a decline in British trade. Although Britain maintained its position as a leader in international affairs at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I, due to the serious regression of its economic and military strength, in fact, it was impossible for Britain to control the world as it did before World War I. The Washington Naval Conference stipulated that the British and American naval forces should be aligned, which shows that Britain reluctantly acknowledges the fact that it is no longer a global hegemon after World War I.

After the start of World War I, the United States declared neutrality, supplied arms to both warring sides, and soon lent loans to the Entente powers. In 1916, Wilson was re-elected. In 1917, the United States declared war on Germany on April 6 after a German submarine sank an American ship. During the war, due to the interruption of foreign immigration, a large number of blacks moved north, and enlisted in the army to fight abroad, which broadened their horizons. In November 1918, Wilson signed an armistice with Germany. World War I contributed to the economic prosperity of the United States. After the war, the United States went from a debtor country that owed $6 billion to a creditor country that lent $10 billion, and the United States became the richest country.

Tsarist Russia, with its endless greed for land, was eventually overthrown by the domestic food crisis and now established the Red Soviet regime. Austria-Hungary was defeated, Germany lost its overseas territories and East Prussia became a defeated country.

This is the result of the First World War, and I will talk about the impact of the First World War on the world.

Hu Wenkai raised his hand to signal, and the workers in the background hung another display board down.

The two warring sides in World War I mobilized a total of more than 73.4 million troops, more than 29 million troops directly participated in the war, more than 10 million died on the battlefield, about 20 million were wounded, and more than 1.3 billion people were affected by the scourge of war, accounting for about 75 percent of the world's total population, and the economic losses caused by the war amounted to $270 billion.

There was an exclamation from below, followed by silence.

Casualties of Allied soldiers: 5,497,600, including 908,000 British, 1,240,000 French, 114,000 French colonies, and 1,700,000 Russians. Casualties among Allied soldiers: 3,382,500, Austria-Hungary 1,200,000, Germany 1,770,000, civilian casualties 6,493,000.

It can be said that women are used in factories in European countries instead of men, and most of the young and middle-aged people die in the war or are injured and incapacitated. Europe is licking the wounds of the First World War and has no time to look at the Far East for the time being, so it can only look to the East.
