In the world of 1907, those who could support a "republic" rather than a monarchy were left-wingers. In China, such people are definitely radical revolutionary parties. So when Lin Juemin heard Chen Ke sneer at the parliamentary system, his face turned red sharply. At this moment, Lin Juemin suddenly had a doubt, he suspected that Chen Ke was a royalist. Or Chen Ke himself is preparing to be emperor.

But Lin Juemin thought about it and felt that his thoughts were a little too radical. Because Lin Juemin knew that most of the dissatisfaction in his heart was because Chen Kefang mercilessly ridiculed the "parliamentary system".

After settling down, Lin Juemin asked, "Mr. Chen, do you think equality and freedom should not be promoted?" ”

Chen Ke asked rhetorically: "What is equality and what is freedom?" You've got to make a point, right? ”

Lin Juemin said tentatively: "Even if no one is above others, this is equality." You can't be stopped by others for no reason, that's freedom. ”

"I don't have the freedom to kill and set fires to play with words. Let me ask a very realistic question, do any of you believe that it will rain if you ask for the Dragon Lord in the dry field? ”

The revolutionary youths looked at each other one by one, and these young people were all enlightened young people, and they were relatively unbelieving in feudal superstitions. But even so, they are not outright atheists like Chen Ke.

Chen Ke saw the unhappy appearance of the young people, and he changed his statement, "Then let me ask a simpler one, before you took the boat, did you go to incense Mazu?" ”

These young people are all from Guangdong and Fujian, and they dare not be disrespectful to Mazu, the god of the sea. Everyone nodded, or simply acknowledged.

"We in the People's Party are materialists, and we don't believe in any gods or Buddhas. As for you, if you want to have peace of mind, then I don't think there's anything wrong with worshipping God. We believe that there should be a right to freedom of religion. If one asks God and worships Buddha only for their own peace of mind, it is personal freedom. I think it's ridiculous, but it's the freedom that is allowed to exist. However, if someone manipulates religion for personal purposes to pursue their own interests. Do you think this kind of religious freedom can exist? For example, those foreign sects come up and say that you are guilty. Then coercion and intimidation make people convert. Do you think this kind of freedom is permissible? ”

The revolutionary youth probably understood what Chen Ke meant, and everyone said that they would never allow this kind of freedom to exist.

"So, what I'm going to say is that any freedom, any people's power, has a bottom line. The bottom line is science and democracy. Science is not just about common-sense knowledge. Science is a materialistic attitude, and science first makes us understand that the world can eventually be known by us, but we have not yet realized the whole world. Therefore, we must expand the scope of our cognition by developing the productive forces. Instead of making up an ethereal gadget to fool everyone. Democracy is based on science, and through the development of science and productive forces, the people's living standards, cultural standards, and understanding standards are promoted. Therefore, for us, many things must be completely defeated, and they must be suppressed by means of the people's dictatorship. We don't allow anti-science, anti-democratic stuff to exist. It is even more forbidden to use the banner of equality and freedom to oppose science and democracy. ”

Lin Juemin is silent, he has always advocated equality and freedom, and Lin Juemin has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he has always been able to impress everyone when he talks about politics with his friends during school. But in the face of Chen Ke's revolutionary theory of opposing "equality and freedom", he felt that he was completely powerless to refute it. Although he didn't know the entire theoretical basis of Chen Ke, Lin Juemin intuitively felt that what Chen Ke said was only a very small part of this set of theories.

"Does that mean you don't want to be equal and free?" Lin Juemin couldn't help but ask in the end.

"Equality and freedom are not theoretical things, because equality and freedom are just words that human beings use to express their feelings, and they are definitely not universally applicable. Science is different, and science is the same for everyone. Everyone should know that the earth is not flat, and what we are under our feet is a planet called the earth. Believe it or not, it's real. Because of gravity, if you throw a stone into the sky, it will definitely fall to the ground. As long as you are on earth, Chinese, foreigners, old people, children. The result of throwing stones into the sky is the same. This kind of universal science is the program that our People's Party adheres to. The grain grown by the peasants was taken away by the government, the gentry, and the landlords under the old system through the exploitation system, and the people could not eat the grain they grown. Therefore, to overthrow this old system and establish a new system in which all the working people can eat, this is the program of our People's Party. ”

Chen Ke's attitude was very serious, and he no longer wanted to "persuade" others to join the party through persuasion and education. It is one thing to mobilize the masses, but it is another thing to "persuade" others to join the party. The Anqing incident was an eye-opener for Chen Ke, and if he assumed that he was in Anqing City, the result of reflection was that he had no better way than to use system and violence to restrain him. Any system that is not supported by violence is weak and ineffective, and for a movement as violent as the revolution, weakness and ineffectiveness means defeat and destruction.

Therefore, in the face of the heroic and fearless "revolutionary predecessors", Chen Ke chose to make a straightforward statement, and now he also thinks about it, even without these "revolutionary predecessors", the people's revolution will surely be victorious. If these people are not able to accept the fierce revolutionary theory, Chen Ke thinks that it is only right for everyone to get together and disperse.

"So, in the process of promoting the people's revolution in science and democracy, I don't care what words those people use, I only look at what they do. If those people are against the revolution, no matter how much they shout for democracy and freedom, I will bring them down. Even if they shout science and democracy, I must bring them down! ”

Lin Juemin was completely silent, and the revolutionary youths who came with him did not speak. Fang Shengdong's personality was intense, and after listening to Chen Ke's violent words, he stayed there with his whole body, looking at Chen Ke with straight eyes, as if he had been immobilized.

Luo Nailin was the oldest and the first to recover, he looked at Chen Ke with a look of awe, "Mr. Chen, then your revolution is not just to overthrow the Manchus and restore China?" ”

"Not my revolution, but the people's revolution. The people have suffered for so many years, and they want a better life. The only thing that can save the people is science and democracy. Therefore, it is necessary to completely smash the entire old China, and then rebuild a new China on the basis of scientific and democratic theory. Instead of using the theory of a parliamentary republic to deceive children after the Manchu Qing was overthrown, to create a warlord scuffle. ”

"Why is Mr. Chan so hostile to a parliamentary republic?" Lin Juemin's tone of voice this time was no longer a rebuttal caused by anger, he was really puzzled by Chen Ke's attitude.

Chen Ke can understand this attitude of Lin Juemin, for Lin Juemin, the parliamentary republic is a form that has never appeared. At least theoretically, the parliamentary republic was much more advanced than the current system of the Manchu Qing dynasty. But Chen Ke is standing a hundred years later in the downstream of history. He knew that the stormy people's revolution had washed away the dust and created a new and powerful China.

In 1949, that man solemnly announced at the head of Tiananmen Square, "The Chinese people have stood up from now on." At that time, China was only a recognized weak country. It can be said that in 1949, the traitors had no way out of the country. Because if a foreign country wants to plunder anything from China, just hit it directly. But after the Korean War, the traitors finally had a strong motherland to sell for.

Only 23 years after 1949, US President Richard Nixon's visit to China in 1972 proved that China was already a major force in the world. All intermediate exploiters were purged. On the basis of being poor and white, the average life expectancy of the Chinese has doubled, a large number of agricultural water conservancy facilities have been built, and basic people's education has been realized. Several foreign wars have proved to the world China's powerful military strength, and the two bombs and one satellite have proved China's scientific and technological capabilities.

In 23 years, China will be able to regain its growth from the abyss and become an important force recognized by the world. From 1911 to 1949, for 38 years, China's world status was declining. How could Chen Ke have the slightest affection for a parliamentary republic? No matter how demagogic it may sound, if this theory doesn't actually put China on the road to rejuvenation, it's not even worth as much as a bubble of shit that can fertilize the ground.

And if this system is just useless, Chen Ke knows how much evil and killing forces under the banner of parliamentary republic have created in China after the Xinhai Revolution. He knows better what kind of bad things these countries in Europe and the United States, which claim to be democratic and free, have done bad things, and he even has the opportunity to see what kind of crisis has been caused by the defects of the capitalist system itself in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, for Lin Juemin's rhetorical question, Chen Ke felt unable to answer and disdainful to answer. He couldn't tell Lin Juemin that this was the proof of the history that Chen Ke saw. And Chen Ke has never been a person who has deep sympathy for losers. Chen Ke believes that it is natural to follow correct and effective theories. It is the basic quality that a person who does not want to be abandoned by the times should have.

However, Chen Ke couldn't say nothing, he pondered for a while before saying: "I just insist on my own opinion on this kind of thing, as for what will change in the future, history naturally has a fair opinion." ”

"The justice of history?" Luo Nailin repeated in a low voice, and then asked, "What is the purpose of Mr. Chen calling us?" ”

"I had heard that you were all outstanding revolutionary youths, so I hoped that you would join the People's Party and do your part for the people's revolution. But I didn't know at that time that you had joined other parties. We, the BJP, are ready to work together with other parties to advance the revolution. However, we absolutely do not accept people who adhere to other political views to join the BJP, let alone accept people from other parties to join the BJP in their personal capacity. Therefore, if you are interested in the People's Party, you might as well stay in our base area or participate in the work that you can. If you're not interested, we'll give you the money to go home. ”

"What are you talking about, Mr. Chen?" Fang Shengdong had already recovered from Fang Cai's shocked state, "We came to the base area to try to promote the revolution, but we were not ready to leave when we came. Whether or not to join the People's Party can be considered in the long run, but it is incumbent upon us to serve the people's revolution. ”

Chen Ke was psychologically unmoved, and he smiled: "If this is the case, we welcome you from the base." We will arrange for you to work in the base area. ”

Chen Ke asked the logistics department to arrange these people to work in the logistics department, but this was not deliberately difficult. The logistics department is now in charge of the feedlot, which is arguably the most high-tech agricultural department in China. Moreover, the farm employs a large number of female laborers, and it is also the most equal labor enterprise between men and women in China. The world is constantly changing, for example, in the major industrial countries of the 21st century, even the conservative right wing has promoted a certain degree of political views on "equality between men and women", and this political view has become a consensus. But in 1907, if any party dared to openly support "equality between men and women", he would have been considered an out-and-out extreme leftist. Since Lin Juemin is a revolutionary party, Chen Ke believes that it is necessary for them to accept the views that "labor is the most glorious" and "men and women are equal". If these revolutionary youths feel that they should not "do this menial farm work", then they can leave. Chen Ke didn't have the slightest idea of retaining them.

Fang Shengdong and others did not know about Chen Ke's arrangement, and they participated in the "revolutionary movement" with joy and anxiety. The BJP's base is very large, and these people know about it. So they can't think of any work they're going to give themselves at all. That night they found themselves in the hundreds of Japanese. This shock left these revolutionary youths speechless. Lin Juemin was the most surprised. If it weren't for Chen Ke's invitation, Lin Juemin would have gone to Japan to study. He also studied Japanese specifically. Lin Juemin is very studious and has a quick grasp of Japanese, but he was still worried about his limited Japanese level, so he was ready to go to Japan to learn Japanese from the Japanese. He now realizes that he doesn't have to go to Japan to improve his Japanese with Japanese people.

After the next day's exercises, the revolutionary youth were first taught a class, and then they were crammed with a basic biology. I was exposed to the concept of "food chain" and "protein".

From the third day, the people went to the countryside and began to participate in the "revolutionary work", that is, the work of slaughtering ducks. The female duck can keep the eggs, and the male duck can only provide meat. Although Lin Juemin and the others felt that they dared to go into battle to kill the enemy, it was a great thrill for them to slaughter ducks with their hands and feet. Carrying a butcher's knife in one hand and pinching the duck's neck in the other, Lin Juemin couldn't cut it. The instructor had seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he came over and asked with a pleasant face: "Do you still want to recite a piece of "Death Mantra" to this duck?" ”

Lin Juemin was blushing, and he looked up at the instructor's kind but no room for maneuver. The hair in his heart was ruthless, and he didn't dare to look at the duck's neck, so he cut it off with a knife. The duck in his hand was originally quite obedient, but when the knife went down, the duck broke free from Lin Juemin's neck under severe pain, and then quacked and flew around. Because of the neck injury, duck blood was splattered, and a lot of Fang Shengdong's face was splashed on the face next to him. Surprised, Fang Shengdong's palm was forced, and the duck in his hand was suffocated because of the feeling, and he was immediately dying. Fang Shengdong was afraid that the duck would run away, so he grabbed the duck's neck with both hands. Soon after, the duck was honest, but not because the duck was no longer afraid, but because he was strangled to death by Fang Shengdong.

The Japanese comrades are already quite skilled at killing ducks, and the reason why they have not been able to go to other posts is that their Chinese language education has not yet been completed. They skillfully killed ducks and bleed, Lin Juemin, Fang Shengdong and others killed a duck, and they killed at least four. It made these southern revolutionary youths very embarrassed.

The instructor didn't criticize these people, everyone was the same at the beginning, and it would be nice to do more. But when the Japanese revolutionary comrades began to pluck their feathers skillfully, the instructors called the revolutionary youth from the south together and began to dissect the corpses of ducks. If you don't even know what the physiology of ducks are, it will be too child's play. The dissected duck carcass was bloody, and the revolutionary youths in the south were sick to their stomachs when they looked at it.

In the evening, eating duck soup, more than half of the revolutionary youth in the south had little appetite. Luo Nailin practiced martial arts, far faster than everyone recovered. He usually doesn't like to talk, but looking at the performance of these comrades, he had to say, "Eat quickly, if you don't eat, where will you have the strength to work tomorrow." ”

When everyone had finished eating, they went back to their dormitories to rest. Lin Juemin no longer wants to learn any Japanese. He listened to the square sound hole in the lower bunk and asked, "Is this a revolution?" ”

None of these revolutionary youths in the south were from poor backgrounds, and when they were planning the uprising, they had always relied on buying logistics. It is very uncomfortable with the BJP's self-sufficient model. During the class, the instructor had talked about the simple problem of the People's Party's logistics supply system, and Lin Juemin could accept this self-sufficiency model in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer Fang Shengdong's question.

No one answered the question, and Fang Shengdong didn't completely want to be answered by others, he let out a long breath, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't hear what Fang Shengdong asked again. After a tiring day, Lin Juemin only felt more and more sleepy, he didn't understand his work very well, the matter of preparing meals for his comrades was not outrageous, and it was not a job that would be underestimated, Lin Juemin had an inexplicable resistance in his heart, and he felt that he didn't know how to describe it. All kinds of knowledge, observations, and practical work experiences were mixed together, making Lin Juemin's head dizzy. The young man was drowsy, and he fell asleep unconsciously when he thought about it.
