52 Wartime Route IV
"I can't help but ask, is this a system problem? I was deeply lost in thought. ”
When Chen Ke was fighting on the Internet as a self-employed five, he couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw this. Perhaps it was a kind of retribution, Chen Ke often fell into deep contemplation in 1928, thinking about institutional issues.
There is no problem with the direction of socialism, but the socialist system must be constantly revised. It doesn't matter if you cross the river by feeling the stones, or if you want to cross the river from a high vantage point, to quote Chen Ke from a foreign bank executive, "Let's not mention trusting such an emotionally hurtful topic, okay?" ”
The feudal system relied on the rule of people, and even if ancient China developed the imperial examination system and eliminated the blood aristocracy to the greatest extent, it still could not get rid of the problem of interest grouping. It's not about whether there are conspirators or not, and conspirators don't appear out of thin air. If a slave owner travels to the 21st century, no matter how shrewd and capable he is, no matter how proficient he is in the politics of the slave age, no matter how proficient he is in enslaving people. Not only does the general environment not support slavery, but it also opposes slavery in its entirety in the system.
Theoretically, the peak stage of the capitalist system is that everyone is equal before capital, but as far as Chen Ke has seen, none of the capitalist countries have been able to achieve this. There are also a large number of feudal remnants left in the most capitalist American system. Not to mention scientific socialism, which as a whole overrides the capitalist system.
In July, Chen Qianru watched his father sit alone in the study every day after returning home without saying a word, and couldn't help but rub beside Chen Ke to make him happy.
Chen Ke also had a headache when he thought about it, and he patted Chen Qianru on the shoulder, "I'll tell you a story." ”
"Yes, yes." Chen Qianru likes to listen to Chen Ke's stories the most, so she moved a stool and sat next to Chen Ke. It happened that He Ying saw her daughter talking with her husband together, her son and classmates ran out to play together, and He Ying also took half a watermelon and cut it for the two to eat.
Chen Ke said: "I just heard that there is no record in the history books. When Qianlong's eight lambs went down to the south of the Yangtze River......"
He Ying was not happy when she heard it, "What is Wang Ba Lamb, what is Huahua." Why are you the chairman so unreliable? You're teaching the child badly! ”
Chen Ke never quarrels at home, he smiled: "I'm not happy, let me vent." ”
He Ying simply moved a stool and sat next to the two of them, supervising Chen Ke not to say anything unreliable.
"When I went to Jiangnan this time, I happened to discuss official business with a minister. The two of them were talking about it in full swing, and it was noon. Qianlong said, let's eat together at noon. Then he asked the minister, "Have you eaten in the morning?" The minister said that the minister had eaten four eggs. Qianlong was furious and said that minister, why are you a corrupt official? I've heard other people say that eggs are ten taels of silver each. You spent forty cars in the morning. ”
He Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, what is this Chen Ke talking about?!
However, Chen Qianru showed a slightly surprised expression after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing.
Chen Ke looked at his daughter, and asked with his father's characteristic stern but pampering expression: "Qianru, if you were that minister, how would you answer?" ”
Chen Qianru frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "The eggs I eat are different from the kind of ten taels of silver each, I eat cheap eggs with broken egg shells, a few pennies a piece." ”
Chen Ke couldn't help but laugh. He Ying couldn't help but shake her head. People say that the nephew is like an uncle, and they say that the appearance is passed down from generation to generation, Chen Qianru looks like her father, but in many places she looks like He Ying's aunt He Qian. There are not too many like He Ying. And Chen Qianru's intelligence and cleverness are exactly the same as He Qian. Sometimes He Ying thinks of her aunt's misfortune, and she can't help but worry that her daughter Chen Qianru must not follow her grandmother's old path.
Chen Ke didn't think about it so much, he asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Qianru replied: "Qianlong is clearly deceived by someone, what can he do if he is deceived again?" What's more, if this lie is exposed, how many people will suffer? If I were that minister, I wouldn't be able to do things that were against the rules. ”
Hearing this, He Ying was furious, "What are you talking nonsense about? ”
Chen Qian was educated by Chen Ke, and one thing is really father and daughter with Chen Ke. The two of them don't have any beautiful illusions about human nature at all, and they have an attitude of treating the truth of the world as nothing. He Ying was born in an official eunuch family, and she was not ignorant of all kinds of tricks that the eunuch family could learn. But He Ying really doesn't like these things. She actually thought that her aunt He Qian had learned too much from He Ying's grandfather, which hurt her.
Chen Qianru is very sensible, she grabbed her mother He Ying's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I won't say that when I go out, I just talk to my father." Don't be angry! ”
He Ying was unmoved, she said with a straight face: "Qianru, you are a girl, what are you doing learning these things?" You're in the Department of Mathematics and you are also taking courses in the Department of Philosophy. Later, I will become an engineer, or a teacher. Your dad is going into politics, and you know your dad doesn't want you to be in politics. ”
Chen Qianru was still young, and she was unhappy when she was reprimanded by her mother like this, so she couldn't help but argue a few words, "If you don't understand these things, you will suffer." Mom, do you think school is so mixed up right now? The students are all striving for the top, striving for the top. My academic performance is also one of the best in the class, even if I don't want to compete with them, they won't let me go. Joining the party, the work of students, I don't fight with them, they still have to fight with me! ”
He Ying was greatly unhappy when she heard this, "Joining the party is to serve the people." What are you fighting for? ”
Chen Qianru's view in this regard is completely different from her mother's, "Then the people are good to serve? The opportunity to serve the people is not so easy to get. Many students are now using many methods in order to be able to take over......" Just said this, Chen Qianru stopped talking, she knew that she was too relaxed at home, and couldn't help but say things that shouldn't be said.
However, Chen Ke's face had changed, and he asked, "Wait! Who do you say is going to take over? ”
Chen Qianru was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, she knew that her father Chen Ke was a smart person, as long as she dared to mention something, Chen Ke would immediately know the doorway inside. Just such a sentence that should not be said is equivalent to selling your classmates.
He Ying is not proficient in politics, and when she saw Chen Ke's attitude suddenly becoming so harsh, she immediately couldn't help but worry about her daughter.
Chen Qianru saw that her father was serious, but she was very smart and honest, "Dad, now everyone in the school knows that civil servants are not easy to do." It's okay to do technology, but if you want to have a future in politics, you have to be a party member. If you want to join the party member, you have to look at your performance, whether you can enter the student will have a great impact, I am now a member of the logistics committee of the student union, and the low-grade ones want to have a relationship with me, and the high-end ones want to gang up with me. I don't want to trick people, let alone use others as a gunman, but there are too many people who want to use me as a gunman. Those who do not have good academic performance are even more trying to find a way. ”
"And what's going on with the succession?" Chen Ke is most concerned about this. Chen Ke was too impressed by the example of Lao Tzu's heroes and heroes, and when he mentioned this word in college, Chen Ke couldn't help but tense his nerves.
Things are really similar to what Chen Ke thought, college students whose fathers or relatives are officials in the family naturally want to "take over the revolutionary class" by virtue of their connections and academic qualifications. These people know that the biggest threshold is the identity of party members. Joining the party is now a very serious issue, and the party committee in the school is even more so.
Hearing that the party members had been able to control this pass, Chen Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Chen Tianhua's party affairs had done a good job. It is normal for young people, especially those from good backgrounds, to want to take over, but it is not normal for them to be able to take over if they want to. Without a sufficient test, a group of stupid students who have only read books can join the party, which is not too nonsense.
After listening to what Chen Qianru said, Chen Ke finally made up his mind that he couldn't make. At the meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee, Chen Ke put forward a proposal to go to the mountains and go to the countryside.
When You Yu heard that college students were going to work on the hardest frontline, she was a little dumbfounded. "Chairman Chen, I'm waiting to hire people, you let them give up their majors and go to the countryside after graduation, which disrupts the plan."
Chen Ke replied: "Then we might as well promulgate a system, and all college students who want to enter politics must have the experience of going to the mountains and going to the countryside." After the civil servants are admitted, no matter who you are, you have to work at the grassroots level for a few years, and you may have to work at the grassroots level for a lifetime. If college students want to enter politics, they must go to the most difficult places. ”
You Yu wanted to say something, but Zhang Yu interjected, "Comrade You You, didn't you yourself go up the mountain and go to the countryside?" Our wave of college students, where was the environment so superior at that time? If they were counted as sinful, what were we back then? To hell? ”
Chen Ke is worried that someone wants to "take over", he knows that many old revolutionaries in his time and space force their children to take the lead in going to the countryside, but as a result, a lot of inappropriate things happen. Young people who are ambitious, have the desire to enter politics, and want to inherit the glory of their fathers, Chen Ke does not hate them at all. But this path must have a pay, a price. Before they choose, it is more humane to clearly state the hardships of the road.
You Gou quickly figured out that this was not to send all college students to the countryside, but to let those ambitious young people undergo a more difficult test, which was how You Gou came back then. If you just want to be a technician, you can stay in a comfortable city.
After arranging the system issues, Chen Ke praised Chen Tianhua's work. Chen Tianhua smiled bitterly, "Everything has a price, and now the total number of party members and probationary party members is 3.6 million." According to the population, it is about one in 200 people, which is too small. ”
Chen Ke shook his head, "3.6 million is a lot, as long as it can reach the level that party members should have, 3.6 million people can build a country when they are pulled out, and a country can be destroyed if they are pulled out." But if the system is not reasonable, it is out of control. In addition, I would like to discuss with you the question of whether we are going to prepare for war. ”
The Politburo Standing Committee is not surprised, in fact, a more comprehensive war Chen Ke has said more than once, but to what extent it must be comprehensive, this is the question.
"My personal goal is probably a little imperialistic, and my greatest hope is to turn some of the foreign colonies in Southeast Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand, into Chinese territory." Chen Ke said his thoughts seriously.
This goal is indeed imperialist enough. These areas cover an area of more than 10 million square kilometers, and China already has more than 10 million square kilometers of land, and if these places are turned into Chinese territory, then China will become the world's largest country with an area of more than 20 million square kilometers. The northernmost is close to the Arctic Circle and the southernmost is close to the Antarctic Circle.
"It's going to be a game with the British!" Zhang Yu exclaimed, "Is our navy enough?" ”
Of course, Chen Ke knew that the existing amount of military equipment was completely insufficient, "so before the war began, the Air Force had more than 50,000 front-line pilots and more than 1,000 Navy ships." The Army's front-line field corps was prepared to more than 8 million, and the number of reserves had to exceed 30 million. Without the army, navy, and air force of this scale, as well as the logistics and delivery capabilities that match them, this battle will not be fought, and it will be difficult to win. ”
You Wei calculated for a while in his heart, and his voice trembled a little, "This year, we expect the steel output to exceed 17 million tons, and if such a battle is to be fought, it is estimated that the annual steel output will exceed 50 million tons." Now we have a lot of large-scale laboratories, and the control mode of scientific research work is the laboratory production and R&D feedback system, and if we want to expand so much production capacity, the investment in science and technology must be at least three times larger, no, five times. Is there so much money? ”
Listening to You Yu's very euphemistic objection, Zhang Yu continued: "I have created a noose, and if you can't hang others, you have to hang yourself." There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and once this decision is made, there is no way to turn around. ”
Chen Tianhua followed and said: "Politically, there is no need to talk nonsense, this is not the liberation of Australia, this is the annexation of Australia." That would only incite nationalist sentiment, and I don't think that's going to be easy. And I'm afraid of too many sequelae. ”
Chen Ke has repeatedly considered these things mentioned by the comrades, but there are only two results of consideration. Either sit back and wait for the world to go in a completely unknowable direction, or finally take a gamble with Chen Ke's knowable future. The outcome of the gamble is unpredictable, but it is the only internationally acceptable opportunity for Chen to annex new territory. And Australia's resources are a strategic temptation that Chen Ke can hardly resist. If China wants to fight the whole world on its own, then it must get Australia.
At this time, Chen Ke didn't want to think about this issue alone, and it was time for the party committee to make a decision. Pulling a map, Chen Ke began to explain the reason why he had such strategic thinking.
Originally, the comrades of the Politburo were sure that Chen Ke had traveled around the developed capitalist countries of Europe and the United States, but what they didn't expect was that Chen Ke was so familiar with Australia, a ghost place where birds don't lay eggs. The geographical advantage is known by looking at the map, but Australia has endless mineral resources, and the comrades did not expect Chen Ke to be so familiar.
Chen Ke spent several hours talking about this plan that had been held in his heart for more than 20 years, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly felt very relaxed. Looking at the frowning Standing Committee members, Chen Ke said comfortably: "Before the revolution, I had already planned this plan. This is my ultimate strategic idea. If this strategic concept can be realized, China will not dare to think for thousands of generations, as long as there are no internal problems, there will be no pressure to lead the world for another 100 years. But countless so-called leaders are blinded by this so-called long-term interest. As a result, he made a wrong judgment and lost his previous efforts. In this matter, I resolutely obey the decision of the party committee. ”
