57 Wartime Route IX
After "Collecting Three or Five Buckets Overcharged" was published in the People's Daily, it aroused a strong response. In 1931, after the Great Depression and the collapse of Jiangsu's industry and commerce, the Jiangsu government adopted a policy of cheap grain export in order to carry it to the end, and Jiangsu's export market turned to Japan. However, the US grain has become so cheap that Jiangsu's peasants are simply unable to resist, and Jiangsu's grain exports have been devastated. For this reason, Jiangsu adopted a high tax policy in the bumper year, and frantically increased taxes to exploit the people. Far from making people's lives better, the bumper year has led to a large number of bankruptcies due to the inability to pay taxes. After the propaganda of the People's Daily, Jiangsu's affairs have finally reached the point where everyone in the whole country knows about it.
The next thing was even more intense, and the Nanjing collective spring buying case was finally released under the pressure of Zhang Yu's interference. Qinhuai is already the land of fireworks, and after Jiangsu owes a huge amount of RMB debt, the RMB has shown an ultra-high exchange rate against Jiangsu's local currency. The fireworks service, which was originally only consumed by the wealthy, is now available to middle-income workers in the surrounding areas of Jiangsu. In order to raise renminbi, the government in Jiangsu directly intervened in the transaction and tried its best to encourage the fireworks industry to attract foreign consumers. The People's Party completely eradicated the fireworks industry in the controlled areas, and the matter of organizing a group of Qinhuai to travel appeared. Among them, consumer groups, including civil servants outside Jiangsu, carried out group purchases.
The People's House Committee was not a vegetarian, and the matter was quickly discovered and reported to the organization, and the People's Daily reported on the matter, triggering an even more violent reaction inside and outside the party. Zhejiang and Anhui accounted for the majority of the group buying tours, and Wu Xiangyu, the governor of Zhejiang Province, was under unprecedented pressure. In addition to strictly investigating and dealing with this matter, Wu Xiangyu also felt that the central government was preparing to take action against Jiangsu.
After a nationwide campaign to criticize Jiangsu's criminal system began, the whole country expressed their stance that the Jiangsu Special Administrative Region had become a place of filth and filth, and that the people of Jiangsu needed to be liberated from the dire situation. Yu Chen is not a fool, seeing this propaganda, he understands that the end of the Jiangsu regime has finally arrived.
Of course, Yu Chen was very unwilling, and Jiangsu had survived so far. Jiangsu's upper echelons are not fools, and they also know about the economic crisis around the world, which finally explains the reason why Jiangsu's foreign trade is completely finished. It's not that Jiangsu doesn't work hard, but the external environment is too poor. In the external economic turmoil, China's private economy has not been devastated. Catering, sewing and other industries are becoming more and more competitive, but the scale is expanding again and again. New China's state-owned enterprises have supported the foundation of the economy, and urbanization has given the service industry a huge market.
Jiangsu is now just taking advantage of the advantages of the local service industry, but it has been seized by the People's Party. The Jiangsu parliament immediately convened, and the meeting took up most of the first half-hour of invective against the People's Party. The upper echelons of the gang have seen clearly that the People's Party is only afraid that it will be serious this time.
A member of parliament made an impassioned and generous speech, "Yangzhou Thin Horse is a part of traditional culture, with a long history of more than 1,000 years. The People's Party is trying to destroy traditional culture. ”
"Superiority and inferiority, private property, and men in power, these are all Chinese traditions, and they are all in the history books, which dynasty and which generation are not like this? The People's Party has learned some heresies from foreign countries, does not consider itself Chinese, but uses foreign things to destroy Chinese traditions! Are they still Chinese? ”
Such denunciations are endless, echoing in the Jiangsu parliament.
Admittedly, a large part of what these people say is true. Even in the time and space where Chen Ke was originally located, there were many public intellectuals shouting things like "traditional culture is in Taiwan, and traditional culture is in Hong Kong". Such traditions are indeed in Taiwan, in Hong Kong. In New China, these things are being smashed with revolution and industrialization. Taiwan and Hong Kong, under the protection of foreign fathers, have taken away Chinese traditions, but they have not taken away China's great power. If the members of the Jiangsu Parliament have the ability to travel through time and space, and see the public knowledge of Chen Ke's time and space, they are afraid that they will sigh "I am not alone".
Just relying on scolding cannot defeat the People's Party, and the Jiangsu parliamentarians know this very well. Seeing the People's Party's propaganda offensive becoming more and more fierce, Jiangsu parliamentarians also felt frightened.
"The people who went to the Qinhuai River to take a boat were also officials of their People's Party, what does this have to do with us in Jiangsu? Can they still send troops to fight them? A member of parliament said with a seemingly menacing attitude.
"We do our own business, and no one forces them to come, is it our fault?"
After all, according to Jiangsu's reasoning, it is impossible to see what is wrong with Jiangsu. Jiangsu parliamentarians believe that Jiangsu's only fault is that they are no match for the People's Party militarily. In the midst of many worries, Jiangsu parliamentarians have no choice, and they can only drag it out for the time being.
The BJP reacted relatively quickly and was not just propaganda as before. The Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the People's Party was first established, and then began political propaganda, ideological agitation, and class study classes. Initially, the scale was small, first in a few large cities in Jiangsu, but these activities were completely public.
The central authorities have decided to solve the Jiangsu problem, not by military means, but by mobilizing the masses. With a strong military and economic backdrop, it was only a matter of time before Jiangsu's existing upper echelons were eliminated.
The members of the Jiangsu parliament panicked, and the change in the policies of the People's Party really frightened them. In the past, no matter what Jiangsu did, the People's Party did not actually carry out any activities in Jiangsu. Jiangsu's politics and economy are all carried out by Jiangsu itself, and the People's Party has officially established a party organization in Jiangsu this time, and its intentions do not need to be thought about at all.
"Are we banning any activities of the People's Party in Jiangsu?" Some lawmakers were horrified to make such a suggestion.
Those parliamentarians who have not yet lost their minds are frightened by these two proposals, and openly banning the activities of the People's Party in Jiangsu is tantamount to declaring war on the People's Party. Those who do not allow the People's Party to communicate can only let the People's Party come to force.
Yu Chen, the governor of Jiangsu, was also broken, "Everyone, you have been in Jiangsu for so long, and the People's Party has just arrived in Jiangsu, so everyone is so afraid that the People's Party can encourage the people of Jiangsu?" If they can agitate, can't we? In comparison, do the people of Jiangsu believe in us, or do they believe in them? If the people of Jiangsu really believe in the People's Party, it only means that we are not unjustly lost! Ladies and gentlemen, what we need to do now is not to be afraid, but to do a good job in Jiangsu's affairs and not to give the People's Party any opportunity to take advantage of it. I think it's a good thing that they came to our Jiangsu, so that the people of Jiangsu can take a good look at what kind of virtue the People's Party has! Isn't it just a group of goods who came to Jiangsu to take a flower boat with a few dollars in their pockets? The People's Party itself dares to expose the ugliness, what are we polite? As a result, various stories about People's Party members riding a flower boat on the Qinhuai River in Jiangsu soon spread.
There have been some personnel changes in the working group responsible for the work in Jiangsu, and some personnel have been newly added and some personnel have been transferred. Jiangsu's rapid response immediately had some impact on the working group, and Jiangsu's public opinion war caught the working group off guard. Although Comrade Wu Xiangyu is very capable, he is a relatively strict person. Similar to the mainstream cadres of the People's Party, they all belong to the Puritan type. Being splashed with such dirty water on his head, Wu Xiangyu felt a taste of humiliation.
Fortunately, although Comrade Chen Ke, the leader of the People's Party, had a lower desire than the Puritans, Chen Ke was not a Puritans at all. So after Chen Ke learned about Jiangsu's response, he sent a short telegram to Wu Xiangyu, on which he wrote a sentence, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and we can't use our own thoughts on things to copy the thoughts of the people in Jiangsu." ”
At the critical moment, he received the support of Comrade Chen Ke, and Wu Xiangyu was very grateful. If a person with a weak will encounters this kind of dilemma, he is afraid that he will immediately start pulling the tiger skin as a banner, Wu Xiangyu will not shirk or be angry, and will do it according to the instructions.
The results of the investigation are really surprising, and in Jiangsu, it is not a romantic affair for wealthy officials to drink flowers, nor is it a shameful thing. Jiangsu's propaganda did not make the people of Jiangsu think that the People's Party was all morally corrupt guys. On the contrary, it makes them feel that the civil servants of the People's Party are rich and have status, and they are all big people.
The results of the investigation did not make Wu Xiangyu feel relaxed, but he recognized the situation clearly, and the political battle in Jiangsu will be a real tough battle to change customs. The views of the people of Jiangsu on the world and the People's Party's views on the world are indeed two completely different worlds.
Chen Ke has similar feelings to Wu Xiangyu, but the target is not the people of Jiangsu, but the German Communist Party. Strategically speaking, if an alliance of the three red states of China, the Soviet Union and Germany can be formed, not to mention the liberation of the world island, it is the overthrow of the capitalist system of the whole world, and it will have the power of a war.
Mustache is worthy of being the child of destiny, a figure who has escaped dozens of assassinations in his life, and has shown his good fortune even in the drastic changes in history. His rise is not much in history.
The People's Party has never been involved in assassinations, and Chen Ke has little interest in that. War is uncontrollable, and neither is history. Chen Ke's greatest advantage is not to mess with history, but to use history as much as possible. So after the mustache began to make trouble, Chen Ke did not suppress the Nazi forces, but contacted the German Communist Party. Chen Ke suggested that the German Communist Party should fight the Nazis-for-tat and do its best to unite and organize the German masses.
Adhering to his habit of plagiarizing historical answers, Chen Ke prescribed three main prescriptions to the German Communist Party. First, the establishment of street combat teams to fight-for-tat with the street violence of other political parties in a courteous and courteous manner. Second, to oppose the exploitation of the people by the rentier class in a way that the German people can understand, to find sinners. Third, organize production self-help activities. Maintain the livelihood of the unemployed masses by means of joint labor and barter. Fourth, unite all the progressive forces in Germany that can be united.
The KPD is worthy of being the Communist Party of a developed industrial country, and it does have a high-end and high-grade side. After careful analysis of Chen Ke's proposal, the KPD was taken aback. It's not just a big surprise, but also a feeling of nausea from eating a pound. This policy entails, firstly, the KPD to participate in street hooliganism, secondly, to be anti-Semitic, and finally, to make all kinds of "false promises" to the masses, with the aim of taking power by any means. Where is this the advice of the leader of the great socialist power, which is a plot of a conspirator and opportunist through and through. The KPD unceremoniously rejected Chen's suggestion.
The KPD thought that Chen Ke was a conspirator and opportunist, and Chen Ke was not angry, he just felt that the pure disk of the German Communist Party was a typical case of Xiucai's rebellion that failed for three years. It is the propertied class that is in power in Germany, and it is ridiculous for the German Communist Party to mix in the parliament and try to gain power through parliamentary struggle. The Wehrmacht did not support the KPD at all, and the KPD had no organized armed forces at all, and it was pretending to be high-minded. It is no wonder that the Communist Party of Germany was eradicated by the Nazi Party in history. A small reichstag arson case can bring out the KPD.
As for the KPD's refusal to be anti-Semitic, this is the most incredible thing. Anti-Semitism is a manifestation of political correctness in Europe. It is possible not to be anti-Semitic, but in Germany there are also public accusations of openly opposing Jewish speculators. Does the KPD think it is Jesus? If you talk about communism, you can walk on the sea? Or can it show the miracle of five fish and two cakes? If you don't have the ability to perform these miracles, then be honest and say something that the people can understand.
There was a consensus between the propertied people and the imperialist countries against communism, and the Wehrmacht, which was the backbone of Germany, did not want to see the Communist Party of Germany at all, and finally encountered the Great Depression, and the KPD did everything possible to expand its influence among the people and do something for the people in earnest. At the same time, the military power in the hands of the German Communist Party was accumulated.
Abandoning these methods and taking the path of parliamentary struggle, did the KPD really believe in historical materialism? This is Chen Ke's doubt.
Things have come to this point, and Chen Ke can't help it. If the KPD falls into the category of cure, China can really help in the future. The KPD can't hold up the mud on the wall, and the BJP can't afford to invest in this doomed direction. The BJP intelligence agencies can only regret to treat the KPD as a case of failure. That is, to document in detail the rise of the Nazi Party, as well as the defeat of the KPD. As an important case in social science research.
In addition to these things, Chen Ke did only one thing throughout 1931, which was to establish a scientific and technological system between national laboratories and production. As a child of the railway, Chen Ke has a lot of understanding of the development of high-speed rail. It can even be said that the pinnacle of China's production and scientific and technological innovation is the development of high-speed rail. China has not only introduced a large number of technologies, but more importantly, it has introduced advanced scientific research mechanisms from Europe and the United States.
In the process of high-speed rail research and development, the role of foreign technology is limited, if not limited. The key is this mechanism, even if there is a problem with one screw, it must be sent to the laboratory for research. The direction of research is not only limited to how not to go wrong, but also to study why things happen, to use a simple metaphor of "100,000 whys".
Is it a material issue? Is it the temperature? There is no chance in science, only necessity according to the law. This requires a lot of experimentation. It is not just a small problem that occurs that needs to be studied, but the various laws associated with it.
For example, the rate of expansion in cold temperatures in the north requires experiments not in degrees, but in tenths of degrees. The ratio of various metals is not in units of 1%, but in units of 0.01%. Just in order to be able to accurately control the ratio in these materials, it is a revolution in materials science.
There is no shortcut to these basic researches, that is, continuous research and experimentation. The People's Party is unique in the production of industrial menthol, and it was when Chen Ke was in college that a Japanese came to their school to give a presentation. The presentations of the two Japanese professors were nothing special. A professor specializing in menthol production behaved more Chinese, and he talked about his problems with catalysts. The Japanese professor experimented hundreds or thousands of times, all of which failed. Finally, I got a new catalyst from a friend that had just been produced, and the content was measured in milligrams. It solves the problem of converting industrial catalysts to chiral carbon.
The inevitability of science is the inevitability of chemical reactions, and to find these inevitability, we can only rely on a rigorous scientific attitude and rely on a large amount of money, personnel, experiments, and data to accumulate little by little.
This is a threshold that no one can cross.
In March 1932, Chen Kecai initially left this work, and Chen Ke did everything that should be said and said. Chen Ke also tried his best to implement the idea of "anti-authority and anti-monopoly in science and technology" that he learned from Chairman Mao. Everyone is equal in practice, as long as it is a team, regardless of seniority or age, everyone should have the right to speak.
Of course, anti-authority is not the same as trying to kill authority and become authority yourself, and then use your authority to suppress others, which is still feudal. As in the past, Chen Ke also made many seemingly contradictory but not contradictory statements in the scientific community, such as "anti-feudalism" and "anti-egalitarianism".
Chen Keqiang held back, so he didn't promote the golden mean. The vast majority of people who read the mean don't understand what the mean is talking about. Moreover, in the current era of industrialization, the productive forces must also be built on a scientific basis. All social behaviors and even individual behaviors in the industrial age must be based on science. This notion is precisely the most difficult to establish.
