"The government's announcement of recognition of dual citizenship is a manifestation of its responsibility to overseas Chinese. www.biquge.info Li Zhongqing, an overseas Chinese leader, said with emotion: "In the past, there has always been a saying that overseas Chinese are 'married daughters, spilled water', and now this married daughter can be regarded as having a maiden family." ”

"There is no reason to ignore the daughter who marries, the stronger the country, the more powerful the mother's family, and if she is bullied outside, her mother's family will always come forward to support her." Chen Wenqiang said with a smile: "However, this married daughter must also be self-reliant and fight for her mother's family!" ”

"Female foreign minister, overseas Chinese are doing their best to build the motherland, is this an elbow turned outward?" Chen Huaqing said: "Speaking of which, our ancestors have really suffered indescribably and endured endless sins in Nanyang, and it is really not easy to survive until now. Seeing that the motherland is becoming more and more hopeful, we wanderers can be regarded as having a place to return to our roots. ”

Turning over the historical books, the history records the dullness and indifference of China's feudal rulers to their overseas people. This is the main reason for the infinite suffering of the Chinese in Nanyang. The transplantation of people from China's southeastern coastal areas to the Nanyang Islands began as early as the seventh and eighth centuries AD. In the fifteenth century, "Zheng He went to the West" and entered a climax. At that time, many parts of the South Sea Islands (including the Malay Peninsula) were not within the explicit boundaries of a country.

After the 10th century, Sulu, Luzon and other kingdoms that appeared in the Philippine archipelago only covered parts of Luzon. In the 13th century, the Manobache dynasty in the Indonesian archipelago had a large sphere of influence on the island of Java, and occupied a few places in Kalimantan and the Malay Peninsula.

In the 14th and 18th centuries, there were several independent sultanates on the Malay Peninsula, but their influence did not cover the entire territory of the Malay Peninsula. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, Kalimantan, Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula and many other islands were unowned. Only a few primitive tribes with a very low level of civilization and in the clan period are living a life of slash-and-burn farming or migration.

The descendants of Yan and Huang braved all difficulties and dangers to cross the sea to this strange land where miasma is full of snakes and scorpions. With its own advanced production technology and hard sweat and even life, it has brought civilization and vitality to the Nanyang Wasteland. And follow the kind nature of the Han people, and treat the indigenous people who are obviously at a disadvantage. It is very different from those white Europeans who came later than them as conquerors, occupiers, and enslavers.

"Turning the page of history, the massacre and oppression of the Chinese in Nanyang are full of blood and tears. In addition to these repeated massacres, daily discrimination and oppression, kidnapping and extortion, verbal abuse and beatings are all over the Nanyang countries. Chen Wenqiang changed his words and said in a low voice: "In this regard, I often wonder, what is the cause of the endless sea of suffering of the Chinese in Nanyang? ”

The crowd fell silent. Faced with Chen Wenqiang's painful questioning, they were not mentally prepared. Looking back at history, who can ignore this bloody fact?

Chen Wenqiang paused for a moment and continued: "We can analyze the greed and brutality of the European colonizers; There is the jealousy and arrogance of the indigenous people; There are the machinations of politicians; There is also the disregard of successive generations of Chinese authorities; But don't the Nanyang Chinese have no responsibility? Yes, Nanyang Chinese are hardworking, thrifty, good at managing money, and good at personal struggle. But looking at it the other way around, we can also find that overseas Chinese also have their own flaws: they are hardworking and lack strength; frugal and not generous enough; Good at managing money and clumsy in politics; Long in individual struggle and short in group progress; the courage to fight inwardly and be timid in external strife; Keen on private business and indifferent to public affairs; When you are smart, you are tricky; Forbearance often degenerates into cowardice. ”

Chen Huaqing frowned at first, was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said: "What Mr. Secretary of State said is indeed reasonable, the biggest problem of the Chinese in Nanyang is disunity, and it is difficult to eliminate the deep-rooted regional concepts of the Chinese people. Cantonese, Fujian, and Zhejiang, are so clearly distinguished. It's really incomprehensible, aren't they all Chinese? ”

"These problems have existed for a long time, and it is very difficult to change them." Li Zhongqing nodded in agreement: "What is the best way for Mr. Secretary of State to do this?" ”

"Things are man-made, and on this issue, the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association must take responsibility and continue to do the work persistently." Chen Wenqiang said: "The Chinese revolution has succeeded, and the people enjoy equal political rights. What about the Nanyang Chinese? Under the rule of the colonizers, they were still like slaves. Everyone should think about this question as well. To put it bluntly, a slave without citizenship is a slave without the title of a slave. ”

"After all, overseas Chinese are also outsiders, and there is no reason for doves to occupy the magpie's nest, right?" Chen Huanan, the leader of overseas Chinese, said tentatively: "Most Chinese go to Nanyang just to make money, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with when the goal is achieved!" ”

"I guess a lot of people think so." Chen Wenqiang said: "There are no political rights. Just as without foundation, wealth is nothing more than a pavilion built on the sand, which can collapse at any moment. Unfortunately, they are not aware of this, and they care more about the politics of their home countries than they do about the politics of their local countries. Sharp conflicts between indigenous nationalists and Chinese nationalists were thus avoided, but this was only temporary. ”

"Mr. Secretary's point is not unreasonable." Chen Huaqing nodded sympathetically and said: "The Nanyang Chinese are the most suffering and humiliating among the oppressed nations in the world, and they are also the one with the largest number, the highest degree of civilization, the most abundant financial and material resources, and the most extensive contact with the outside world. However, the 400-year-old slaughter policy of the Western colonizers, as well as the consistent strategy of co-opting the indigenous people and suppressing the Chinese, have made some people of insight aware of this. Therefore, once the Chinese motherland regains its inherent self-confidence and becomes a strong country, the Nanyang Chinese will receive the purest and inexhaustible support of strength. That's one of the long-term goals we're pursuing. ”

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." Chen Wenqiang frowned and said, "The wish is very good, but in my opinion, it will be difficult to achieve." Like the Republic of Lanfang in Nanyang, they have always hoped to be accepted by the Qing court as a local government, so that they can glorify their ancestors, and secondly, they can use the motherland as a backer to resist the invading Europeans. But what happened next, it's not all in ashes. Without the backing of force, relying on others is passive after all. Just like duckweed, it can only move with the wind. ”

"It's different, too." Li Zhongqing retorted: "Chinese immigrants like Luo Fangbo were called '**** abandoners' in the society at that time, and they had no social status at all. And the Qing Dynasty has no vision, is it possible that after so many years of social progress, the motherland is still so ruthless? ”

"All conclusions cannot be based on assumptions." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly. He said: "Only by increasing the influence of the local Chinese political number can the political rights, human rights and wealth of the Chinese be guaranteed." But now that the indigenous people have the privilege of being helped by the Western colonizers, they will not give it up easily. Considering the reality, if we want to greatly improve the situation of the Chinese in Nanyang, as far as we are concerned, there are only two ways. First, the Nanyang Chinese should try their best to abandon all kinds of bad habits and defects, strengthen themselves and respect themselves, and unite in the struggle; Second, there is a strong cultural mother country that is willing to lend a strong helping hand. Now that the republic has just been established, it is not at all strong. But even if it's very difficult. The government will continue to aim at safeguarding the interests of the people and the legitimate rights and interests of overseas compatriots, and will not hesitate to take risks and take necessary actions to this end. But in my opinion, it should be better to do both at the same time. ”

"Do you want us to organize the Chinese to carry out armed resistance?" Chen Huanan asked with wide eyes.

"Scared, afraid of implicating your Chen family?" Chen Wen emphatically said.

"No, no, as long as the government has an order. Our Chen family-" Chen Huanan wanted to say something impassioned, but he lacked confidence.

"Rest assured. The government won't let you do that. Chen Wenqiang explained with a smile: "However, thoughts determine actions, and the ambition of the goal determines how far the road under your feet can go." It is not my intention to belittle your efforts and contributions, but rather to propose an alternative idea and to explore with you the possibility of such an idea. As far as I know, there is not much difference between the proportion of Nanyang Chinese and the local indigenous people. In some places, they surpass the natives, but why are they constantly oppressed, and instead of trying to rebel and cheer up, they pin the possibility of liberation on a specific aspect? ”

"Fighting, bloodshed. Died, but all fell silent. Chen Huaqing said faintly: "The current situation in Nanyang is quite stable, so naturally we will not rise up and fight." ”

"The situation is changing, and without this mentality, opportunities will not be given to unprepared people." Chen Wenqiang said: "Of course, the country and the government have no intention of letting you abandon your family and business and fight bloodshed. These are the staff members of the embassies stationed in various parts of Nanyang, and I hope that you will work together to support the work of the government. ”

Although Chen Wenqiang has the idea of allowing the Nanyang Chinese to build their own country, it is far from the time to say it. These overseas Chinese leaders all have families and businesses, and their interests in Nanyang are very large, and it is indeed difficult for some strongmen to ask them to risk being killed by the colonial government to do this.

"Of course." "It's absolutely fine." Several overseas Chinese leaders breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to express their goodwill to the several officials stationed abroad that Chen Wenqiang was referring to.

These officials are not as simple as Chen Wenqiang said, nor are they as gentle and elegant as they seem on the surface, harmless to humans and animals, they are all agents trained by the Ministry of State Security.

The so-called "agent" is a person who does spy work, also known as a secret agent. The word spy did not make a good impression on people. The image usually created is quite a bit of a foreign product, or the kind of character who is common on the screen wearing a sunny coat, wearing a peaked cap, snorting a cigarette or holding a pipe, and acts sneakily with a cold expression. or a cold-blooded killer who only seeks the end and unscrupulous means, plays with his life with one shot, and everyone respects him. At least, in general terms it is also considered to be the kind of person who goes off the rails and is inauspicious.

The basic nature of spy work is purely political. In other words: all such activities that are divorced from politics are not the spy work we are talking about today; For example, if a private company or manufacturer collects the necessary intelligence information for commercial gain, regardless of the method of collection and the means used, this is not considered spy work. The main reason is that it is not political.

The greatest function of spy work is in the political party: it is the vanguard of gaining and consolidating power; On the government's side, it is a secret weapon to defend the country and defend against foreign aggression.

The characteristics of spy work are: it cannot exist independently, nor does it exist individually; It is attached to a political formation. To put it plainly, spy work is only a political tool, but its success or failure does not belong to the individual. So its spirit is "altruistic" rather than "self-interested".

As a secret service system created and organized by Chen Wenqiang, the Ministry of State Security has received a lot of financial support, and while developing domestically, it has also begun to actively expand abroad. Chen Wenqiang hopes to establish the world's largest and most professional intelligence network and the strongest and most aggressive spy organization.

If it is said that the countries in the world now attach the most importance to the construction of intelligence agencies, I am afraid that the Republic of China can definitely rank among the top few. This is largely due to the influence of Mr. Chen, as well as his large extra-budgetary investment in the Ministry of State Security with his personal funds.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles" emphasizes the important significance of intelligence work. Intelligence work is very important, not only on the battlefield, but also in political and economic warfare. This is proven by historical experience, and it is also the result of the edification of Chen Wenqiang by many spy war blockbusters.

The vast and boundless territory, the huge and powerful navy, all these maintain the honor and status of the British world leader. It also makes the world dare not look sideways.

But there is an old Chinese saying: prosperity and decline, otherwise the pole Tailai. Beneath the veneer of great power was already a serious problem in Britain, which showed signs of economic weakness after 1870. Although the absolute power was not surpassed by the United States and Germany until 1913, for a country like Great Britain, if it could not maintain a leading pace of development, it would be a matter of time before it would fall behind absolutely.

The Chinese government, under the leadership of Chen Wenqiang, convened experts and scholars to analyze and study this point, and the conclusions reached were very forward-looking, but more about experience and lessons. In other words, China has benefited itself from the decline of Britain and the rise of Germany.

Analyzing the reasons for the relative decline of Britain during this period, the Chinese government came up with five factors, and began to try to avoid these five aspects.

First of all, although Britain was the forerunner and absolute leader of the first industrial revolution, according to the British census of 1851, agriculture was still the largest industry in Britain, and craftsmen still had a large share. The second industrial revolution is not comparable to the first industrial revolution in terms of breadth and depth, and it is more critical for a country.

However, the second industrial revolution took place almost simultaneously in several advanced countries, but the main countries of technological invention and creation were no longer Britain, but Germany and the United States. Even the advanced technology invented in Britain did not have a positive effect because of the conservative thinking of industry. (To be continued.) )
