At this moment, the bell rang for the end of class.

Liu Min raised his hands in surprise: "I am willing!" ”

"Very good, you are waiting for me in the classroom after school at noon. So that's all for this lesson. ”

"Teacher, are you still done?" A student stood up and said. There was a chorus below.

Hu Xiaoyan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, the degree of respect that students have for teachers in this era is unimaginable to later generations. But the level of care that teachers care about their students is far from being comparable to that of later generations.

"Well, let's make a long story short. The actions of these factions are good, but the so-called good intentions do bad things is the truest portrayal. And most importantly, it is. Hu Xiaoyan wrote a line on the blackboard.

"Outbred and close attack"

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces"

"There is no doubt that China is backward. That's why it will become a dumping ground for goods in Europe and the United States. This has become the first target of Japan's aggression against us. ”

"So there is no doubt that Japan is China's worst enemy. And what about other countries? Hu Xiaoyan pointed to the four words of distant friendship and close attack, and then drew a circle on the three words of Russia.

"In the same way, Russia is very strong for us, it also has ambitions for our territory. I used to fight with Japan in Tohoku because of this. He will be our secondary enemy. ”

"Britain! The sun never sets on the empire, their overseas territory is very vast, but their own population is too small, so they do not have much ambition for China's territory. After all, their center of gravity is still in Europe. So he can be co-opted as our friend. How? This is a deeper question. ”

Hu Xiaoyan stopped and put his finger on the word Britain and moved to France.

"France, as can be seen from the First World War in Vietnam, the combat effectiveness of the French ** team is very low, there is a joke about France, France can only be strong under the leadership of foreigners, women and dwarfs."

Some of the students below were confused, and some laughed out loud.

"If you are interested, you can check the French chapter on the rise of great powers, which I have described in detail. So we can ignore France, because our market is relatively more important to France, and France can also be friends. But only if we have to hit it in Vietnam first. ”

"Germany, unlike Britain and France, was formerly known as Prussia, and had just completed its reunification and had just completed its industrialization. Germany needs to develop and urgently needs a market, and China's huge market is what they can't do without. If we can put down our wealth and communicate peacefully, we will be able to win over Germany as an important friend, or even an ally, without paying too much. ”

Hu Xiaoyan's fingers moved from Germany to the United States.

"The industry of the United States is very developed, and their total capital and industry are even greater than those of the United Kingdom. But they, like Germany, had no colonies and dumping grounds to match their identity. Our Chinese market is a big fat piece for them. If we can loosen some of the restrictions, the United States will become an important friend for us. ”

"The rest of Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Ottomans and other countries have few interests in China, but they have great ambitions. can only be an ordinary friend of China. ”

"So although the situation in China is serious, in fact it is not dangerous. Under the strong mediation of Britain and France, and the mutual confrontation between Russia and Japan, China will not need to think about war for at least 20 years. This is China's best chance to develop and grow. ”

"The question of how to develop has been taken out of the realm of international relations. That's it for today's lesson. After Hu Xiaoyan bowed, he stepped down from the podium, only to find that the window was full of confused people. Countless students from under the podium were surrounding him. So that he can not be turbulent.

As he stepped off the podium, countless voices rumbled into his eardrums.

"Teacher, you said that the students do not agree with the evaluation of the revolutionary party."

"Teacher, what do you think China needs the most at the moment?"

"Teacher, what do you think China should reform next?"

At this moment, Hu Xiaoyan finally understood Sun Wukong's pain. These sounds are scary than flies.

"Students, class has ended, can we talk about these questions next time?" Hu Xiaoyan helplessly raised his hands and shouted loudly.

The students below suddenly fell silent. I saw the three imps each holding up a blank piece of paper. It reads "One more lesson".

"One more lesson!" The students in the classroom shouted at the same time.

I'm dizzy. Hu Xiaoyan was not frightened at this moment, but moved. When he was in school, he never encountered a situation where a student asked the teacher to continue teaching and did not let him leave the class.

However, according to Hu Xiaoyan's estimate, there should be few people in this era who talk about the study of international relations, which is the most naked and entangled interests. And his course just meets the needs of these students for an urgent understanding of the European and American world.

"Let's give another lesson." Hu Xiaoyan, who was caught off guard, was saved by this voice. He found that it was Zhang Song, the teacher of the Chinese language class, who spoke.

"I also have some questions for you. Wait a minute, I'll talk to the principal. Zhang Song stood up.

"No, I don't. We agreed. A middle-aged man shouted from outside the window, and he nodded to Hu Xiaoyan from a distance.

Hu Xiaoyan smiled bitterly.

"Okay, don't squeeze everybody. Slowly coming in, there are still some gaps in the classroom. The students in the classroom squeezed in to make way for some slots. All right? Everyone should come in slowly and orderly. Hu Xiaoyan saw that the crowd was so bad, he had to step forward to stop it, and stretched out his hand to let them line up.

I have to say that the students of this era are still very innocent and enthusiastic, and they are also very well educated. Slowly, they took the initiative to line up into the classroom. Those who came first also took the initiative to go to the back of the classroom.

Hu Xiaoyan saw that the classroom was already full of people. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's really the first time for me that so many people have come to listen to my lectures." Hu Xiaoyan saw that there were still many people outside who couldn't get in, and some were standing outside the window with stools, desperately looking in. He couldn't help but raise his voice.

"But it's because of you that I was moved. It is precisely because of you that I feel that China still has a bright future. Because China has you. If you are young and strong, China will be strong! ”

Hu Xiaoyan walked to the middle of the podium. The applause that followed was sparse at first, but soon came together. He pressed his hands. There was a pause in applause.

"Before I give a lecture, I would like to apologize first." He pointed to the three major factions on the blackboard.

"Because they're also looking for a way out of China's future. They were the forerunners of China's Restoration. Although I don't quite approve of their behavior. So now let's talk about why I don't endorse them. ”

Hu Xiaoyan wiped the handwriting off the blackboard, leaving only the sentence "Science and technology are the primary productive forces".

"The term productivity comes from Marx's Capital, and there is no plan to translate this book in China at present, but if you are interested, you can find the English version and read it."

"First of all, when we talk about productivity, we have to mention science and technology. So what is science and what is technology? I am selfishly giving a definition of science here: science is an exploration and attitude towards the unknown. When it comes to science, Hu Xiaoyan can't help but have a large amount of memories in his mind.

It turns out that I was really a technician.

"Technology is the application of these explorations. Ten years ago we were still using black powder, and now the West is already using smokeless powder. Everyone knows that smokeless gunpowder is far more powerful than black gunpowder, so our army was completely defeated in Korea in the northeast. Then this process before and after the invention of smokeless gunpowder is science. And the application of smokeless gunpowder is technology in itself. ”

"What is productivity? I also selfishly define it as the degree to which science and technology affect the productive capacity of the world as a whole. In the past, 100 people planted 100 acres of land, but now the West uses all kinds of steam engines, tractors, and all kinds of fertilizers, and only 10 people are needed for 100 acres of land. We are now far more productive than we were in the past. And all kinds of agricultural machinery and all kinds of fertilizers are the embodiment of productivity, that is, the degree of influence of science and technology on agricultural production. ”

Hu Xiaoyan pointed to the line on the blackboard again: "So science and technology are the primary productive forces." ”

"Let's look at what science and technology are the main researches?"

"Everyone knows that society is constantly evolving, and the environment is constantly changing. In the past, cavalry was the most powerful army in the world, and later the Spanish phalanx in the West was considered invincible. All the way to the present firearms. Therefore, at present, science and technology are natural sciences, and I believe that all of you here have learned what natural science includes. ”

"But I want to emphasize that it takes at least ten years for every student to graduate and become a talent, and tens of thousands of silver dollars. In the first lesson, we talked about the fact that there are dozens of universities in Japan, and thousands of graduates of the natural sciences are doing research in research institutes, factories, and shipyards. And what about us? We don't. ”

"Therefore, I need everyone to always remember that we should not wait for the country to need to study science and technology. Instead, always learn science and technology and wait for the call of the country! Because you have been in business for too long and at too high a cost. The country can't afford to wait! ”

Hu Xiaoyan's right hand pointed in the direction of Japan outside the school.

"There are a lot of Chinese students in Japan, and they talk about revolution and national salvation all day long. But in my opinion, what they are doing is a complete waste of their talents. As I said, what the country needs is not scholars, officials, and revolutionaries who can write poems and articles well, but talents in the natural sciences who can respond to the call of China, the motherland, at any time. This is because China lacks qualified personnel who can study grain production, Chinese personnel who can study the industrial basis of light industry such as weaving technology, and even less talented people who can be proficient in heavy industries such as iron and steel metallurgy. ”

Hu Xiaoyan began to wrench his fingers, "It doesn't sound like much, let's count them." ”

"From the point of view of basic agricultural production, what do we lack? Farmland planning needs talents, farmland water conservancy needs talents, and rice seed improvement needs talents. Talents are needed for pests and diseases in paddy fields, and talents are needed for farmland fertilizers......"

"Basic Industrial ......"

"Heavy Industry ......"

"Arsenal ......"

"Shipyard ......"

Hu Xiaoyan talked for more than ten minutes, and his mouth didn't stop. Then he stopped suddenly.

He looked up at the students around him, "I don't want to count anymore because my fingers and toes are not enough." In addition, the fingers and toes of you are not enough. ”

"On the other hand, what talent do we need?"

It's quiet down there.

Hu Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "China is short of all talents. There is no shortage of soldiers who fight with guns. Isn't it a waste to let people who have studied in Japan go to the gun revolution? ”

"Revolution or Restoration is too far away for me, you or him. The United States is a democratic republic, Britain is a constitutional monarchy, and Germany and Japan are imperial. They all developed better than we did. ”

"Why!"

Hu Xiaoyan turned around and drew a heavy line under the line on the blackboard.

"We don't have science and technology."

"A lot of people say democracy is good, just like the United States; Many people say that a constitutional monarchy is good, just like the United Kingdom with a constitutional monarchy; Others say that the imperial system is good, such as Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and even Japan. ”

"Did you find out? If you have taken a serious look at the French and British chapters on the rise of great powers. In fact, institutions have never been a problem. Centennial plan is education-oriented. If everyone knows the written word, everyone understands the truth that if they fall behind, they will be beaten. Regardless of the system, the state can be strong. Because the backward system will definitely be replaced by the advanced system. ”

"The French Revolution is our example. But we should not look to their revolutionary examples, but to the level of their education. ”

Hu Xiaoyan once again pointed to the sentence that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

"I hope that there will be fewer revolutionaries and more educators and researchers in the natural sciences among all of you."

"We have too many people to shorten, and the number of students here is too small and too small. I hope that in the future, if anyone here thinks that he is not good on the road of science and technology, then go to a school and become a teacher, and every time you teach a student, China will become stronger. The worst can be a big businessman. Because education requires a lot of money. ”

"Finally, I hope that the students will remember that we are all always ready, ready, and waiting for the call of the country. Thank you. ”
