Chapter 656 Culture

The banquet was very lively, and the senior generals of the military were not very old, and they all followed Wang Hengyue's southern expedition to the north and fought the war, especially at this time today, they all had a lot less worries.

Ma Xiao and Zhang Xiaoyue fought with each other there, one had to say that he could drink, and the other had to say that the other party couldn't. The two of them poured wine and water into their stomachs, and the officers on the side were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they tried their best to encourage the two to "compete with each other".

The president drank more at this table, that is, Zhang Xiaohuai and Zhang Zuolin drank more.

Jiang Baili also took advantage of this time to briefly talk to Wang Hengyue about the army reorganization plan. The Russian battlefield helped China train a large number of veterans with actual combat experience, and as the Russian war progressed, there would be a steady stream of new recruits who would become veterans. If these veterans are integrated and let them exert their maximum power, it will become the highest priority.

The easiest thing about Wang Hengyue as the president is that he doesn't need to think too much about these things, and he has too many outstanding talents like Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai

Navy Chief Cheng Biguang looked a little worried.

According to intelligence, Japan Yijing began to build giant battleships there, and in Cheng Biguang's view, once such a giant battleship is built, it will pose a great threat to China.

Wang Hengyue smiled and did not answer.

The Chinese Navy's "Dragon Plan" has already been launched, and in the previous situation of Yijing investing 150 million yuan, Wang Hengyue Yijing decided to increase the capital by 50 million again, and the total investment of the entire "Dragon Plan" will reach 200 million yuan in the next few years.

The money was spent mainly on the development of aircraft carriers and submarines.

Of course, the construction and purchase of other types of ships is also the top priority of the development of the Chinese Navy. Cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats, supply ships, all types of ships are also developing in an orderly manner. For this reason, Wang Hengyue also ruthlessly allocated a huge amount of 150 million.

In this way, the total investment in the Chinese Navy has reached a staggering 350 million! And in the future, such investments will certainly continue to increase.

Everything revolves around the "Ten-Year Development Plan for the Chinese Navy", which has long been drawn up.

However, this is the top military secret of the Chinese Navy, and what has been "leaked" to the outside world is a fictitious "five-year development plan," and in this plan, the Chinese Navy's plan to build a "super battleship" is also prominently listed.

Yu Lei also tried by all means to get the Japanese spies to see the "super battleship" under construction "with their own eyes," so that the Japanese could be convinced that the "five-year development plan for the Chinese Navy" that he had obtained was absolutely true.

So, in order to ensure its own naval superiority, as well as to suppress the Chinese Navy, Japan's "Super Battleship" program was also launched

Cheng Biguang is an excellent naval general, which no one can deny, but his thinking is still stuck in the era of giant ships and cannons, rather than believing that aircraft carriers and submarines will become the main force in future naval warfare.

In his view, the "super battleships" used by the Chinese Navy to lure the enemy, to contain Japan, and to sharply consume Japan's limited raw materials should be the goal of China's naval development in the future.

He was worried that the president should not be self-defeating, because once Japan builds a "super battleship," it will pose a huge threat to the Chinese navy, and the enemy's plan will be ruined by his own navy

For this reason, he even quarreled with Wang Hengyue several times, and repeatedly asked China to really start building "super battleships", Danshi, Wang Hengyue, who attached great importance to the navy, refused this request again and again.

He is old, his own navy chief is indeed old, his thinking is still stuck in the past, and he can't keep up with this era.

In Wang Hengyue's mind, the new candidate for the chief of the navy is Chen Shaokuan, and the deputy commander is Zhang Xiaoyue. What does Danshi have to find to make Cheng Biguang, a loyal veteran navy who has served the Chinese Navy all his life, retreat?

Wang Hengyue has no xiangdao for the time being

You shouldn't think about these things on a big day, so as soon as Cheng Biguang spoke, Wang Hengyue quickly diverted the topic.

Yu Lei's face was rigid and he didn't say a word.

The navy's plan to lure the enemy was deployed by itself, and no one knew the specific core content except for himself and Heng Shuai, and even those factories that were building "super battleships" and "models" did not know what they were building for! …,

Heng Shuai's hard work is clear to him, but Chief Danshi Cheng doesn't understand

"Huai Zhao, Brother Qin, Xiang Gong, Zhang Madman, I salute you, you have worked hard these days." Wang Hengyue raised his cup and said to Wang Qinglu, Qin Guangcheng, Zhao Xi, and Zhang Taiyan: "If you are fighting there in the front, the political, economic, and cultural construction and development of the country in the back will all depend on you, and you are all experts in this regard." ”

After drinking a cup, Wang Hengyue put down the cup and said: "I am not worried about the military and economic aspects now, the road is paved, and it will be done according to this road." However, the cultural aspect. I pay less attention to it, Xiang Gong, Zhang Madman, I just say a word, the government will give you the greatest support, traditional culture to develop, to grow, to let our children read, go to school, and afford to carry a pen. Don't be like Charlie Du, it's 'Harrow' when you open your mouth at every turn."

A smile appeared on the faces of the crowd, and they looked at the other table, where Charles Du was talking.

Charlie Du has not changed at all after so many years, he is still full of foreign style, and his mouth is full of Sichuan-flavored foreign language.

Wang Hengyue said slowly: "In the past, we closed off the country, and we felt that everything was the good of our own country. We also let the ship sail by hand, and the steam engine Yijing invented. As a result, the foreigner's ironclad ship came, and we were beaten, and the result was that the foreigner Yijing was too far ahead of us, so there was a Western-style faction"

Wang Hengyue's face was very solemn: "But as soon as the Westerners came out, they went from one extreme to the other, and suddenly many of us felt that everything was foreigner." The foreigner's machine is better than ours, the foreigner's words are better than ours, and the foreigner's moon is better than ours. Anything should be discarded. If you want me to say, these people should let them go to the river to sober up, so that they don't forget their own seeds! ”

Many people know that the president is from the "United States", but he is also the most fierce one against foreign culture.

Judging from his Committee for the Development of Traditional Chinese Culture and the Protection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he attaches great importance to traditional Chinese culture.

Even down to the daily wear.

In everyone's memory, the president of the Republic of China never wore a robe and a horse coat, and most of the time he was shown in military uniform, and he rarely wore a suit or a dress, and his wife was strictly forbidden to wear the popular cheongsam.

In Wang Hengyue's view, the long-distance running horse coat and cheongsam are not traditional Chinese clothing

Or at this point, Wang Hengyue treated his wife a little harshly.

"I xiangdao a joke." Zhang Taiyan suddenly said: "Vernacular and classical Chinese have fought for so many years, and once, the madman Huang Kan praised the wisdom of classical Chinese in a lecture, for example, saying, 'If Hu Shi's wife dies, his family will telegraph Biyun: 'Your wife is dead!' Hurry up huilai! Eleven words long. In Chinese, only the four words 'wife is mourned and return quickly', and the telegraph fee alone can save two-thirds. As a result, Hu Shi immediately shot back.

Once in class, a classmate talked about Huang Kan's words, and Hu Shi said not necessarily. Or let's do a test. A few days ago, a friend of the Executive Yuan sent me a letter inviting me to be the secretary of the Executive Yuan, but I did not want to enter politics, so I sent a telegram refusing. The reply is written in the vernacular and is very cost-effective. If you are interested, you can draft a message in classical Chinese for me to see if it is vernacular or classical Chinese to save money.

The students really drafted one after another, and finally Hu Shi picked out a copy with the least number of words and a complete expression from the telegram, the content of which was 'Lack of talent and learning, I am afraid that it is difficult to be competent, and I will not obey my fate'. After Hu Shinian finished reading, he said: "This telegram is only 12 words, which can be regarded as concise and to the point, but it is still too long. I only need 5 words in the vernacular: 'I can't do it, thank you'. 'Can't do it', already contains the meaning of being shallow and incompetent, and 'thank you' not only expresses gratitude to friends for bothering to introduce, but also has the meaning of refusal. It is also said that the conciseness of the visible language does not lie in the use of vernacular, but in the use of classical Chinese, as long as the words are appropriate, the vernacular can also be more concise than classical Chinese. ”

Everyone listened to Zhang Taiyan's words, and their faces showed contemplation. Wang Hengyue also nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, vernacular has the benefits of vernacular Chinese, and classical Chinese has the characteristics of classical Chinese. Taking advantage of their strengths and making up for their weaknesses is what we should do, instead of maliciously attacking each other, which is not good for Chinese culture. It's like a brush and tap water, who can you say is stronger? What I mean by protecting traditional Chinese culture is not to say that we must eliminate foreign culture, but to accept foreign culture at the same time, but also vigorously develop our own culture, who wants to betray this, it is also tantamount to betraying their own nation, each nation should have its own culture passed on from generation to generation! ”

"You Wang Hengyue are still doing a good job in this!"

In the full house, only Zhang Taiyan dared to call Wang Hengyue's name: "I have said countless times that those fake foreign devils did not understand what traditional Chinese culture was, and began to attack themselves and forget their ancestors, these people should be arrested and imprisoned one by one!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Taiyan's madness was about to attack again, Wang Hengyue hurriedly interrupted him and said:

"Come, crazy Zhang, I'll toast you again, you've worked hard, let's talk again while drinking, if this meal is comfortable, no one is allowed to leave me!"
