Two thousand internal combustion engines is a negligible number for China. But for Fengtai County, it is a frighteningly large number. Yan Fu knew that Chen Ke didn't like to brag, but he didn't believe it in his heart about selling silk in exchange for 2,000 internal combustion engines. However, Chen Ke assured that a considerable number of internal combustion engines would be invested in the inland shipping fleet, and Yan Fu believed in this. Anhui is a region with a dense water network, and the significance of the motor fleet cannot be overstated.

When the comrades of the water detachment learned the news, they were overjoyed, and everyone talked about it, and even left the matter of listening to the lecture behind. If it was in the Beiyang Sailor Academy, Yan Fu would immediately have to maintain order, and he was not even allowed to use corporal punishment. But now he was just a member of the fleet, and everyone was a member of the party, and no one was more powerful than anyone else. So Yan Fu just said, "Let's go outside now to practice how to measure speed." By the time mechanically powered boats are in use, this is also a basic skill. ”

Hearing Yan Fu say this, many comrades got up and went to find ropes, wooden blocks, and rulers. There are still talks about mechanically powered ships, but at least they are doing the right thing.

Several high-ranking cadres of the water detachment knew that the flotilla was not only to bring steel back, but also to determine the time of the start of a large-scale war. As long as the insurance regiment gets the steel supplies, the war will start on the day the fleet enters the base control area. Naturally, such confidential information cannot be made public. At the same time as the flotilla set off from the base area, four groups of comrades. When I went to Shanghai, I had to contact the comrades of the Shanghai branch to get machinery and equipment. The comrades who went to Anqing were tasked with contacting Xu Xilin. And the destination of the third small team was even further away, and that was the Japanese comrades. Their goal was to return to Japan and gather revolutionary comrades to come to China to participate in the revolution.

The Japanese comrades who participated in the revolution in Anhui were even more loyal to the revolution than Chen Ke could have imagined. Never before in Japan has a disaster relief effort of this magnitude, let alone such an effective response. As soon as the full harvest was over, Hitoshi Kuroshima took the initiative to return to Japan and summon Japanese revolutionary youth to devote themselves to the cause of the Chinese revolution. In this era, the world is dominated by powerful people, and people are only forced to work hard by life. And the fruits of hard work are ruthlessly deprived of it. Although the people's revolution in Fengtai County has not yet seen the final results, the people have not only completed self-help by themselves, but also obtained the means of production in a blink of an eye. However, in the eyes of Japanese revolutionary youths such as Hitoshi Kuroshima, this is already a great achievement that has never been heard of or seen.

The revolutionary youth of the world have one characteristic: they have a lot of words and little practice. There is more incitement, but less reasoning. More destruction, less construction. In Fengtai County, it is completely different, everyone works and builds by themselves. And his own labor has become a revolutionary fruit at his fingertips. The exploiters and the old system were overthrown, and the people could see a bright future under the new system.

Kuroshima Ren is not the kind of idiot who has more than enthusiasm and insufficient IQ, and Chen Ke never fools everyone. He was well aware of the wars and dangers that the revolutionary base areas would encounter next. War means death, it means blockades, it means unforeseen dangers. Not only did Kuroshima not feel that he should get out of danger, but he firmly believed that at this time, it was necessary for countless revolutionary young people with courage and perseverance to shed their blood to carry out the revolution to the end. As long as the Chinese people's revolution can be victorious, the Japanese revolutionary youth who participated in the Chinese revolution will have the opportunity to return to Japan and liberate Japan from the dark old system.

Chen Ke approved Kuroshima's request, and the Japanese revolutionary youth were honest and hardworking, especially able to stick to the most inconspicuous posts. This is a positive manifestation of the "backward hierarchy" in Japanese culture. However, China's cultural characteristics of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but it is not easy to produce this kind of "screw attitude". It is inappropriate to completely change this cultural attitude in the near future, and the participation of Japanese revolutionary comrades can easily set an example. For example, Comrade Umegawa Kamiyoshi, who adheres to the pig breeding business, is a typical example of recent propaganda. Comrade Mei Chuan did not die in the line of duty, and Chen Ke could not write an article entitled "In Memory of Comrade Mei Chuan," so he had no choice but to change Grandpa Mao's article commemorating Comrade Bethune and send it out as a commendation circular. The results are pretty good.

In addition to these three teams, the fourth team is the most special. They were the most numerous, reaching as many as twenty people. And their destination is also the most uncertain. This is the revolutionary propaganda team sent by Chen Ke. Most of these comrades are from the south, and their goals are Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Nanyang. Chen Ke read Lin Juemin's "Letter to His Wife", and his love for China and hatred for the status quo of an unequal society came from the bottom of his heart. Chen Ke was very disdainful of the figures of the Alliance, and was not familiar with the names of those well-known people at all. He didn't mean to win over Huang Xing and others. Among the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, Lin Juemin, Yu Peilun, Fang Shengdong, Pang Xiong, Lin Yinmin, Li Deshan, Chen Heshen, etc., he can still remember the names and deeds of more than a dozen people.

Chen Ke didn't want these Chinese elites to lose their lives for the sake of such a scum organization as the League. If we have the determination to defy death, why not devote our limited lives to a more meaningful people's revolution? For this reason, Chen Ke specially sent comrades who had defected to the revolution in Fengtai County to lobby these comrades. After reading Chen Ke's book, these revolutionary youths took the initiative to follow Chen Ke. Chen Ke's instructions to these people are very simple, no matter what means are used, they can kidnap tickets. Some people must have come to Anhui. The aim now is not to get these people to join the revolution, but to get these people to visit the base areas on the spot. Chen Ke firmly believes that after seeing the real people's revolution, these revolutionary youths will choose to join the ranks of the people's revolution without hesitation.

These young followers have the same confidence in Chen Ke's self-confidence. It is not only the Japanese comrades who are dumbfounded and sincerely admire the revolutionary situation in Fengtai County. China's revolutionary youth also saw a new world that had never been heard of. The wanton exploitation of landlords is not news in China at all, and it is much more common in the world. The revolutionary youth, full of beautiful ideals, also had an instinctive opposition to these. In the "Letter to My Wife", Lin Juemin wrote with deep affection, "I sincerely want to stay with you to die, first of all, from the perspective of today's situation, natural disasters can die, thieves can die, the day of partition can die, traitors and corrupt officials can die for abusing the people, my generation is in today's China, there is no land in the country and you can die all the time, at that time, let me see you die, or let you see me die, what can I do?" ”

Young people who can realize this level will not oppose the people's revolution that overthrows the old agrarian system in any way. To this end, Chen Ke wrote two manuscripts, one of which was plagiarized from Grandpa Mao's manuscript "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society". One is plagiarized from Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman". Chen Ke hoped to use these two articles to impress those knowledgeable and literate revolutionary youth.

Since we have not yet met the revolutionary youth that Chen Ke was looking forward to, it is difficult to say what the final effect of the lobbying will be. However, after reading these two things, the young people of the revolutionary propaganda team worshiped Chen Ke one by one

The "madman" portrayed in "Diary of a Madman" who recognized the world as it is, but was regarded as a psychopath, and was regarded as a "persecuted maniac", is his true image in the eyes of these young people.

"It's pitch black, I don't know if it's day or night. The Zhao family's dog barked again. The ferocity of a lion, the cowardice of a rabbit, and the cunning ,...... of a fox" are not the current situation in China, and this is not the true face of those oppressors rampant in China?

At the end of the article, these revolutionary youths saw the heart-rending words, "Children who have never eaten people, or are there any?" Save the children......" Many people have burst into tears and even cried loudly.

The flotilla sailed to the fourth day, and the troops began to diverge. Except for the main force of the fleet heading to Hanyang, which turned south, everyone else continued east. Among this group of people, Wang Qinian and his uncle Wang Yuelong had the farthest destination, and they were going to Nanyang. Wang Yuelong was a supporter of the revolution, a Chinese businessman in Nanyang who made a lot of money by selling the People's Party's "914" special drug. The fact that Chinese can also develop new Western medicines surprised Wang Yuelong. Last year, he went to Shanghai to visit the developers of special drugs. See if the person has any new drugs to sell in Nanyang.

Selling Western medicines produced by the Chinese not only made Wang Yuelong earn a lot of profits, but also made Wang Yuelong feel a real pride. Knowing that the developer Chen Ke was a revolutionary party and was also engaged in revolutionary work in other places, Wang Yuelong did not feel afraid at all. Instead, he asked his nephew, Wang Qinian, to take him to see this "revolutionary and scientist" prodigy.

The miracle of disaster relief in Fengtai County has shocked Wang Yuelong, and the People's Party's super organizational ability makes Wang Yuelong feel that the trip is definitely worth it. The meeting with Chen Ke made Wang Yuelong feel that he had finally met the leader of his dreams. "The Chinese merchants in Nanyang, the Manchus regarded everyone as treason, and the Yangyi in Nanyang regarded everyone as lambs. Without the protection of the Motherland, it can be slaughtered at will. If it weren't for the lazy, stupid, and unbearable use of the locals, Yangyi would have killed everyone a long time ago. ”

If these perceptions are just Chen Ke's exposition of the specific situation of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, this is just a general consensus. Wang Yuelong is a businessman, and he can barely understand some of the simple ideas of Capital. After Chen Ke told about his understanding of business, Wang Yuelong was completely convinced.

As for the future of the people's revolution, Chen Ke talked about the economic model of a game of chess for the whole country under the new system. The "non-profit" nature of the new government, how strong state-owned enterprises assume the core of the country, and how the investment of private capital exists, how it survives and develops. In this regard, Chen Ke did not even have to promise the dominance of any businessman in the state, Chen Ke only told Wang Yuelong that the new China would recognize the results of his personal efforts. It will equally protect the lives and property of Chinese citizens.

It was different from the Manchu Qing who had to allow foreign goods to enter China, the radical revolutionaries who wanted to drive the foreigners out of China completely, and the Chinese landlords and gentry who were affected by industrialization and wanted to drive out the foreign goods completely. Chen Ke is not against foreign trade, he analyzes how China should build its own industrial system, if it trades with foreigners. To Wang Yuelong's astonishment, Chen Ke framed China's future economic situation, and China wanted to establish close trade ties with Nanyang. As for the abundant resources in the South Seas, which ones are needed by China and which ones can be sold by China to the South Seas. What are the main points of this trade, how Chinese goods should conquer the South Seas, and how China should protect the interests of Chinese merchants in the South Seas. Chen Kedu spoke clearly.

No matter how stupid Wang Yuelong is, he can also hear that Nanyang is not excluded from Chen Ke's future China framework. Without waiting for Chen Ke to say more clearly, Wang Yuelong immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with Chen Ke. Chen Ke's style surprised Wang Yuelong even more. It was not without revolutionaries who wanted to cooperate with the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, for example, the League attached great importance to the Nanyang merchants, especially to the money of the Nanyang merchants.

Chen Ke made it clear that he did not want donations from overseas Chinese in Nanyang, he only hoped to carry out foreign trade with the help of Nanyang merchants. The base area will definitely encounter various blockades in the future, and Nanyang merchants can provide effective sales and purchase channels. Chen Ke hoped that Wang Yuelong would be able to help the base areas in this regard. He even said that the goods in the base area will allow the merchants who provide the channel to earn a certain profit. Although the profit will not be too high, the base area will definitely not allow the allies who support the revolution to take risks and pay for nothing.

At this point, there is nothing more to say. Wang Yuelong has begun to wonder if Chen Ke is a big liar he has never seen. A person can be above board to such an extent, and can take into account the difficulties of others to such an extent. Either great loyalty and bravery, or great treachery. "Since ancient times, heroes have no good class", even if Chen Ke is a loyal and brave person, it also means that Chen Ke is by no means a person who can be easily dealt with.

But Wang Yuelong doesn't care, today, when there are no forces that really support overseas Chinese in Nanyang, overseas Chinese desperately hope to have someone to rely on. Even people like the League are the ones they invest in. Although Chen Ke's People's Party is only an organization far away in Chinese mainland, at least they have a considerable grasp of territory. There are tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and a fleet of hundreds of large ships. There are also hundreds of thousands of people under his rule. Compared with other revolutionary parties that are now paying lip service, the Fengtai County Revolutionary Government is already a real political entity. Without Wang Yuelong to start, Chen Ke himself analyzed in detail the obstacles to cooperation between the two sides. And several methods of establishing traffic lines have been proposed. These methods can only be realized after the revolutionary government of Fengtai County can lay more ground.

Chen Ke repeatedly told Wang Yuelong that what the base areas needed most was not money, but the exchange of materials and equipment through trade. The BJP is not a revolutionary regime that cheats money. The revolutionary government wanted to establish effective cooperation with the overseas Chinese in Nanyang in trade. Wang Yuelong patted his chest and promised that he would bring this program back to Nanyang for a good time, and discuss with the patriotic overseas Chinese there how to conduct trade effectively.

Watching the stretching fleet of the People's Party's water detachment disappear into the distance in an orderly manner, Wang Yuelong suddenly felt that he had a strange dream. Did you really have a conversation with a peculiar man named Chen Ke? Has a fair, just, or even operational, cooperation intention been reached? Thinking of this, Wang Yuelong touched his pocket. A piece of paper that wasn't too thick was there. It was a cooperation intention program written by Chen Ke and Wang Yuelong after discussion. All this should be true.

"Qi Nian, won't you go back to Nanyang with me?" Wang Yuelong asked.

Wang Qinian sighed slightly, "My job is to mobilize a group of medical students to work in the base area and build a medical school in the base area. I really can't accompany you back to Nanyang, uncle. "The difficulty and intensity of this work are not ordinary, Chen Ke actually has a lot of orders, and Wang Qinian knows that Chen Ke is not only mobilizing people from Shanghai Renxin Medical College. I also sent people to look for Japanese students studying medicine. I heard that Chen Ke even planned to send a medical school in the base area to complete the construction, and sent some students who were loyal to the People's Party and had excellent academic performance to study in overseas medical schools.

After visiting the base area in person, Wang Qinian knew how many doctors were needed in the base area. Chen Ke has already proposed to establish a health and epidemic prevention system in the base areas and to start vaccinating the general public with various vaccines. In response to this large-scale plan, Wang Qinian raised his own questions. "Not to mention the money to make the vaccines, how much does it cost to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of people with these vaccines? Will the money be earned? ”

Chen Ke's answer left Wang Qinian speechless, "Comrade Wang Qinian, why should our People's Party carry out the people's revolution and establish a socialist system. If you look at it under other systems, any transaction is about making maximum profits. Therefore, everyone's goods and services are to squeeze the people cleanly. However, the socialist system is different, and from the perspective of the socialist system, what needs to be invested in this kind of health and epidemic prevention is the food, clothing, and wages that medical workers need. The state simply does not have the urge to make money. Then the investment in this project is actually very low, very low. That is, it is considered a thousand people, three catties of grain per person per day, and 90,000 catties of grain a month. A person's salary is ten yuan, and it is ten thousand yuan a month. For three months, it is 270,000 catties of grain and 30,000 yuan. And even if one person inoculates 10 people a day, 900,000 people can be vaccinated in three months. What do you think of these investments? More than 100,000 people in a county can afford to support such a thousand people, and can provide better epidemic prevention services for 900,000 people. In many cases, vaccinations are basically a one-time vaccination and lifelong immunity. Isn't that cheap? ”

This calculation method is really speechless. Wang Qinian finally believed that Chen Ke was a genuine revolutionary. At least a revolutionary who can come up with a proven method.

Although there is also slander in his heart, at least Wang Qinian thinks that these thousand people may be able to earn more. After all, with the efforts of these people for three months, 900,000 people have received great benefits, even if one person comes up with ten cents.

But looking at the words written on the banner in Chen Ke's office, which was not very good, "serve the people wholeheartedly". Under such an almost indisputable revolutionary position, Wang Qinian could not say that he must make money. Yes, 900,000 people, if each person comes up with 10 yuan, it is 9 million yuan. If you exchange 1,000 yuan for one tael of silver, that is 9,000 taels of silver. Wang Qinian felt that if Chen Ke's calculation of the workload of three months of busy work, it would not be an unreasonable figure for each worker to receive nine taels of silver from the people.

It's just that Wang Qinian didn't dare to say it in the end.
