Nanjing, the top of the glazed tower of the Great Bao'en Temple. Chen Ming looked at the western sky, and his consciousness was a little trance-like.

At this time, Chen Ding should have arrived at the front line, right?

Although the prince himself has had a little contact with the army, it is the first time that he has gone to the front line to 'sit' alone.

Even Chen Ming knew that Chen Ding was reluctant to go to the northwest if he could. He is very cautious now, he can not contact the army, and he will never contact the army. Chen Ding didn't know that his Lao Tzu was ready to give way to him.

He is just wearing the hat of a prince now, and there are not too many abolished princes in Chinese history.

Chen Ding is not an arrogant person, how could he get carried away.

It's just that the previous domestic situation is not suitable for Chen Ding to stay any longer, villain, Chen Ming can do it. And seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Russia had been seriously injured and there would be no challenge, Chen Ming would really want to go to the front line in person now.

Since sitting on the throne, Chen Ming has not been involved in the war much. Back then, he was also a member of Megatron China.

If the mode of war does not change, it will still be the same as when it was against the Qing Dynasty, no matter what history says, Chen Ming will be deducted with the title of a military strategist. But the current war has changed dramatically, if the Chen Jiajun/Fu Han Army had such a strong combat effectiveness as today's National Defense Army, only one brigade was needed, and Chen Ming could sweep all the Qing troops who dared to come to the field battle.

And the more important reason is that Chen Ming did not die. If Chen Ming died, then he could still be regarded as a famous general of the previous era, but he did not die, let alone any specific military works handed down like Grand Duke Karl, with the intention of expounding his military thoughts. Then the aura of a famous general on his body is already about to weaken to the extreme.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Han has been denouncing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, from the political system to the military system, from the quality of officials to the military quality, and the latter is said to be vulnerable. In fact, Chen Ming's ability to overthrow the Eight Banners from the powerful in a county back then to the prosperity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in itself the best evidence that the Manchu Dynasty's military strength is rotten.

So does this also prove that Chen Ming's 'celebrity halo' was only abused when he abused vegetables? Just like the big data brush in the NBA in later generations, either in garbage time or on weak teams, the substantive ability is seriously inconsistent with personal data.

Chen Ming is now facing such embarrassment.

He also wanted to regain his reputation, and his 'Qi Hope Technique' was very useful on the battlefield. Not only can you know yourself, but you can also know your opponent. Taking a full view of the opponent's morale and fighting spirit, and ignoring day and night, is extremely advantageous in today's positional battles.

But Chen Ming thought about it, it was difficult for him to really put this idea into practice. Because he's the emperor!

And as long as there is a powerful and incomparable empire, there has never been an emperor who has personally led the troops to fight.

Don't take those countries in the West and say that the so-called Alexander Empire and Napoleonic Empire all started and perished because of people. And how can such an empire be called a real empire?

As for the tradition of the Ottoman sultans leading their troops into conquest, one can smell the smell of nomads from afar.

Look at China, there are so many emperors who can fight wars in history, after they have really established their foundations, how many people have been in charge of the expedition?

Li Shimin can fight, right? It was only at the last moment that Goguryeo was conquered, and he never personally commanded the battle like Napoleon and Alexander.

Chen Ming's current situation is quite similar to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history. The Han army attacked the Xiongnu several times, but it was all led by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Or maybe he is very much like the Taizu of the Red Dynasty in later generations, he doesn't touch a gun in his hand, but there are millions of troops who are working hard to realize his strategic layout.

Therefore, Chen Ming's title of 'famous general' is getting dimmer and dimmer, just like no one would say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a famous general/military strategist.

When people get old, they will inevitably think about what happened after getting up.

Chen Ming doesn't expect immortality, when a person comes to his current point, what he asks for is a posthumous name. But it was impossible for him to go to the northwest in person for the sake of a posthumous name.

When he abdicates, Chen Ming will go to the northwest, not only the northwest, but also the northeast, Mongolia, Nanyang, Nanmingzhou, the Americas, and even Europe and India, Chen Ming will come on a trip around the world. But that was after his abdication!

Now, Chen Ming comes to the glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple at most, to look at the western sky. Thousands of miles away on the Volga River, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides are fighting hard, and the victory or defeat is only a few days.

As long as the Russian reinforcements could not break through the Wehrmacht lines on the outskirts of New Astrakhan, the Russians had only one way to go, defeat.

The time has entered winter, and Chen Ming, who is standing on the top of the glazed tower, is wearing a velvet coat, and the Volga River at this time must still be the season of dripping and freezing.

……

Lingnan, outside the city of Guangzhou.

Green fields, straight railroad tracks, rotating windmills, mills in the middle of the countryside, and horse-drawn carriages walking on country roads...... there is no doubt that this is the countryside, and it is a country full of European landscapes, but in fact this is China, the Chinese countryside.

It's just that Guangzhou has been too heavily influenced by Western culture, and many Westerners who have come to China have settled in Guangdong Province.

At the moment, it is not far from Guangzhou, the largest city in southern China, and the railway through the fields leads directly to the city.

There is a beautiful locomotive on the railway that is very different from the appearance of Chen Han's self-produced locomotive, neat carriages, red, blue and white smart colors, and the appearance of the volume beyond the self-produced locomotive, all showing an exotic style, in fact, this is a locomotive from the United Kingdom. Last year, it was donated by the British to the government of Guangzhou, not Nanjing, because the locomotive represented the long-term friendship between Britain and Guangzhou. At the same time, the confidence of the Kingdom of Great Britain is undoubtedly demonstrated through this locomotive with very good performance.

Europe is not lagging behind in applied science, and Europe can also produce locomotives, and they are locomotives with very good performance. Naturally, Europe can also produce steamboats, steamships with very good performance.

Now, George Gordon Charles, the new British consul in Canton, sits by the window, smoking his fine Cuban cigar and studying everything he sees.

He was coming to China for the first time, although he was fluent in Chinese; It was also the first time to ride the 'English Express' train, which is one of the many trains in the Canton railway network.

Charles knew that this locomotive, the best train in Britain to date, and that some of the parts on it were even made by skilled craftsmen.

But this can only give the performance of the English a 'good' evaluation in China. It's a little bit short of 'excellent'.

Charles is not surprised by this disparity, he is a China expert who has never been to China, many of the Eight Flags in London are his friends, and he also has close contacts with Chen Han in the European Office.

In terms of new things such as trains and ships, there is still a certain gap between Britain and China.

Charles was now more amazed at the furnishings in the train car.

It's a train that's British through and through.

Although only the front of the car was transported from England to Guangzhou, the carriage and the interior decoration of the carriage were completely pure and rich European flavor. Many Chinese manufacturers can produce authentic European objects, and some even hire Europeans to work as designers.

Look at the hook by the curtain, a copper trinkle, outlined with exquisite tulips, the branches and leaves are scattered, and it is very clever to form a faint cross, as if it were an ornament in the home of some old nobleman. However, the manufacturer's characteristic inscription can be clearly seen above and below the hook seat, and this inscription can be found on most industrial products in China.

The Chinese have even come up with a special "Trademark Law" for this purpose, as if it is a patent that will not expire.

In China, there is a well-known business term in this regard - brand effect. But all the big businesses have started to run brands.

There are also a lot of small factories in China that don't pay as much attention to branding, and they pay more attention to cost control than to pursue these details.

It's a question of economic power.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Only when you don't have to worry about eating and drinking can you want to go to a higher level, just like those small factory owners, they can only consider the brand if they have money and the factory continues to grow and develop.

In contrast, the same is true of the business community in the UK. Countless small factories have also ignored this 'branding', even though the term spread from China to Europe more than a decade ago, and it is easy to understand. But after all, it is a small factory, and controlling costs is the most important thing, which is related to the life and death of the enterprise.

In order to control costs, how many small factory owners have directly participated in production, and even the whole family, young and old.

Simply comparing the soft and hard power of China and the UK, Charles does not think that the UK is weak.

Yes, it is true that the comprehensive strength of Britain is much weaker than that of China, but how big is China, and how big is the area of Britain? Especially after the loss of North America, the population of the whole of England, the mainland and the colonies combined, is only 60 or 70 million, which is only one-fifth/one-sixth of China itself.

China itself is much larger than the British mainland.

In such a rich country, when they vigorously develop industry and commerce, everything they need can be obtained from the mainland, including the development of the most important market for industry and commerce.

Compared with China, Great Britain is truly 'outstanding' in the tiny British Isles. But it's a pity that the lonely and barbaric Oriental world has a monster like China.

As long as you understand the history and culture of China, you can clearly understand how different Chen Han is from the previous dynasties before China.

This is more like a European country with a layer of Chinese skin, and the gap with the previous China is too huge......
