On the surface, the great power game is reasonable, and it is very much about this treaty and that clause. It's actually fighting for strength.

Britain as the birthplace of the first industrial revolution. Since the 60s of the 18th century, leading the world is the absolute leader of the world, in the second industrial revolution the rise of Germany and the United States, accepted the essence of modernization, adopted the latest scientific and technological achievements, and vigorously developed emerging industries such as electric power, chemical industry, petroleum, electrical appliances, and automobiles. Achieved British leadership in the world.

The arrival of Deng Feng and his gang brought the fruits of the third industrial scientific and technological revolution to China, and enabled China to take the lead in carrying out this revolution in information control technology, which is mainly marked by the extensive application of atomic energy, electronic computers, and space technology, and involves information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, and many other fields. With the military leading the people, military technology takes the lead in making breakthroughs, and then drives the rapid follow-up of civilian technology. War is the catalyst of the scientific and technological revolution, and due to the promotion of war and national strategic security needs, many scientific and technological achievements brought by Deng Feng and others were quickly transformed into advanced weapons and equipment in the hands of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It has also enabled many science and technology to be applied to the production of civilian products, and has greatly promoted the overall development of the national economy by leaps and bounds. This scientific and technological revolution has not only greatly promoted the changes in China's socio-economic, political and cultural fields, but also affected the way of life and thinking of the Chinese, so that the material civilization and spiritual civilization of China's social life have achieved leapfrog development to a higher realm.

Therefore, whether it is the absolute leader of the first industrial revolution - the United Kingdom, or the rising star of the second industrial revolution - the United States, in front of China, which occupies the highest point of the third industrial and technological revolution, can only listen honestly and be a grandson. Not convinced? The example of the USSR is there, the information on the battlefield is unilaterally transparent, and weapons and equipment can strike at long distances beyond visual range. I can beat you as much as I want, and if you want to hit me, you can't see it, you can't reach it.

Britain can certainly recognize the general trend of the decline of the strength of China and Britain, and Britain's China policy must conform to this trend, and its mentality of the old empire must be reined in, if not all at once. Not to mention that Singapore's people's self-government government is demanding to join China in the form of a referendum, that is, China wants to incorporate the whole of Asia into China's territory, and now who dares to say "no"! But fortunately, the Chinese are benevolent and kind, and do not like to raise such low-quality people.

The 2,453,800 Hani, Indian, Malay and 16-year-old citizens over the age of 16 who live on the land of 707.1 square kilometres of land belong to the People's Republic of China.

In the past few days, Lin Qingxiang, Fang Shuishuang, and Li Shaozu have been very busy, mobilizing thousands of people, and taking the mass line is itself [***]'s strength. Add to that the contagious charisma of the student movement leaders and their affinity, especially the sensational oratory of Lin Qingxiang at political rallies and grassroots mobilizations. They go to school today, go to the factory tomorrow, go to the secondary school federation in the morning, go to the trade union in the afternoon, give speeches at the women's federation in the morning, and have a discussion with the industrial and commercial association in the evening.

The staff of the former Indian Special Commissar of the South Asian [***] Alliance, which supervised the work of the Singapore branch of Malaya [***] in Singapore, all experienced the referendum when Shannan SAR joined China. So they're familiar with all of this. On May 1, Lim Ching Siang, in the name of the Singapore People's Self-Government Axe, sent a telegram to the second Secretary-General of the United Nations. Hammarskjöld asked the United Nations to appoint officials to come to Singapore to oversee the referendum and sent invitations to political axes from all over the world to come to Singapore to witness this great turning point in Singapore's history.

On 4 May, Ferry Senqio, President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, led five UN officials, representatives of more than 30 countries around the world, and journalists from major world media gathered in Singapore.

Early in the morning of May 5, the people of Singapore gathered at the polling stations in their constituencies in primary and secondary schools as if they were celebrating a grand festival. I eagerly look forward to the great moment when I can cast my sacred vote for Singapore to join China. In each polling station, there is a lively scene of five-star red flags fluttering in the wind and flowers like a sea, and "the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, how loud the victory song is" is constantly played in the radio speakers; Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength. Singing the music of the motherland crossed the mountains, crossed the plains, and crossed the rushing Yellow River and the Yangtze River; The vast and beautiful land is our dear hometown

Volunteers, mainly middle school students, wore red T-shirts with the Chinese flag printed on their chests and enthusiastically served those who came to vote.

The design of the ballot is also very simple, in addition to the voter's name, surname, age and home address, there are only two options for the content, if you agree to join China, you only need to put your fingerprint on the blank space below the five-star red flag printed on the left side of the ballot, and if you disagree, press your fingerprint in the opinion column printed with "no" on the right side of the ballot ballot, which means you disagree.

The people who participated in the referendum stood in several rows in a very orderly manner, putting their ballot papers into the ballot boxes, and each polling station was equipped with video equipment, and the whole process from voting to counting was monitored by cameras. At the same time, there will be large-screen TVs in the Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore to broadcast the situation of polling stations in various districts such as Dapo, Siu Po, Geylang, Hougang and Jurong. The entire referendum process is recorded objectively and truthfully, and the entire process of voting and counting votes is recorded.

At this particular moment, Singapore attracts and gathers the attention of the world, and journalists from various countries are active around the polling stations, recording the live situation and conducting live interviews.

Paris Le Monde reporter Paris was at the polling station at Jalan Becha Stadium, looking at a European in his 30s standing in the voting line with a small five-star red flag on his forehead, he leaned up and asked: "Hello, sir! , I'm Parisis, a journalist from the French newspaper Le Monde, and I want to ask you, did you also participate in the referendum? ”

Isn't this nonsense, don't vote for who stands here for what. "yes, what's the problem, Mr. Reporter?"

"You don't mind if I ask you what country you're from," Parisis asked politely.

"Don't mind, England, Birmingham, I'm Charlie, the English teacher at Dapo English Middle School" Charlie didn't wait for Parisis to ask again, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Oh, thank you," Parisis then asked, "what vote are you going to vote for, do you like to join China, or do you oppose it?" ”

"Yes vote, of course," Charlie moved forward as he showed his ballot to the French journalist: "It's hard for me to imagine anyone who wouldn't choose China." ”

"Why?" Parisis then went further into the interview.

"Why, you should know what is going on in China now, and in a foreseeable future China will lead the world forward, as Britain did in the middle of the 18th century. I am very proud that I will be able to become a Chinese citizen in the near future. ”

Paris then asked: "Are you prepared to renounce your British citizenship if the referendum is successful?" ”

"It's not a problem, if it weren't for such an opportunity, you know how difficult it would be to become a Chinese citizen." Charlie looked at Paris and said, "Just like you, if you don't have special talents and have made special contributions to China, it is almost impossible to join the Chinese country."

"Yes, there is absolutely no such possibility," Parisis said with a hint of jealousy in his heart, "I really envy you, congratulations, future Chinese!" As a correspondent of the French newspaper Le Monde in China, he certainly knows that China is the country with the strictest immigration control in the world, and if it were not for this kind of general foreigner, he would not even think about joining the Chinese nationality.

"Well, my French friend, I am about to cast my solemn vote for Singapore to join China, so please take a picture of me as a permanent memorial to this great moment. All right? The next day, Charles' gleeful photograph of himself holding a five-star red flag ballot paper appeared on the front page of the French newspaper Le Monde, and on the left side of the photograph was a report by Parisis entitled "For the Chinese Citizens."

The results of the referendum on Singapore's request for self-government to join the People's Republic of China were released at 8 a.m. on May 7.
