After the Politburo meeting, Chen Ke held a small meeting. Present at the meeting were three "young" comrades, as well as two old comrades, Qi Huishen and Chen Tianhua. After Shang Yuan and Zhang Yu were about to withdraw from the front line, 61-year-old Chen Tianhua also had physical problems. Among the 5+2 Politburo Standing Committee, nearly half of them are about to quit in the blink of an eye. Although Ren Guopei is the youngest, he is a very promising candidate to take over Chen Tianhua's party affairs.

"Chairman Chen, it seems that you have always been afraid of the United States." Li Runshi didn't care about the transfer of status and position, he said to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke nodded and replied, "Yes, I am afraid of the United States. China alone challenges Britain in the Western Pacific, and I definitely have a chance of winning. With the area now controlled by China and being attacked by Britain and the United States at the same time, I still have more than a fifty percent chance of winning. But in the process of liberating the entire Western Pacific, fighting the British and Americans at the same time, I have little chance of winning. How strong China really is, I can talk to you now. ”

How strong China is, the word itself can inspire the passion of young people, and Chen Ke is confident in this. In the 21st century, China has fully adopted the sectional shipbuilding method. That is to say, after the ship is prefabricated in sections, it is welded on dry land, and finally the ship is launched into the water. The United States launched a 10,000-ton ship a few days at the peak of World War II, which used this production process. China can be regarded as mastering this method, and this is still on the basis of less than 30 years of industrial accumulation in New China.

Chen Ke dragged all industries in China to a state that was extremely advanced in 1936, the advanced was the method and idea of organizing production, and the advanced was "grasping" the future development direction.

This is not without hidden dangers, the biggest hidden danger is the lack of precipitation of China's industrial accumulation, and more bluntly described as too few failures. The process of a person's maturity is just as Mencius said, "suffering his mind, straining his muscles and bones, starving his body and skin, emptying his body, and doing what he does disorderly".

So almost instinctively, everyone wants to avoid this process, and they all want to find a way to go straight to the finish line without making mistakes. If you can only choose between going straight to the end of victory and not making mistakes and not suffering crimes, then the vast majority of people will choose the path of not making mistakes and not suffering crimes.

"So now China is very strong now, because we have a strong production capacity, an advanced production model. When China's electronic technology and computer technology make further breakthroughs, we will be stronger, and our production capacity will be more than ten times stronger than it is now. In the same way, such production capacity and production mode will definitely make us suffer. Chen Ke said in a summary after introducing China's various strengths.

The old guys have long been accustomed to Chen Ke's prediction, and China has come step by step. Chen Ke: If China can go to the moon in a few years, they will not have any doubts.

Chen Ke continued: "Now we are facing a problem with the current order of this world, the world is still a colonial era, and the current world order is still a colonial system. If this order is not smashed, China will not have a bright future. But! China cannot engage in imperialism, and it is not to replace the British colonial system with the Chinese colonial system after it has been eliminated. If imperialism is a promising road, rest assured, I will certainly lead my comrades to embark on the road of imperialism in great strides. In fact, imperialism has no future. What is the future of a system of internal oppression and external plunder?! ”

"What does Japan have to do with China's future strategy?" Li Runshi can still grasp Chen Ke's train of thought.

"With the current state of Japan's bear, what will be the outcome of the revolution? Personally, I see it this way, at most, Japan has developed a militarism and a feudal socialism. Their ideal was to become a powerful imperialist power and to get a piece of the neo-colonial system that had been established in Asia. Chen Ke rarely uses the rather emotional expression of "bear-like" to describe Japan, "I am very hesitant about Japan because Japan's ceiling is very low. Unless China annexes Japan and completely changes the reality of Japan, then the thinking of the Japanese as individuals will change. Otherwise, as long as Japan remains an island country, an island country with few resources and a large population, it will not be able to make any essential changes. ”

One of the common characteristics of rulers is that they are extremely realistic, and "don't mention trusting such hurtful words", which is not condescending arrogance. For rulers, this is a sincere and warm heart. As long as you are a real person who has done the work and has done the work, you know how unreliable you really are. Every link I have done is how I stumble and how imperfect. To reach the end of the journey, you not only have to work hard, but also have some luck.

Chen Ke is facing top leaders, people who are well aware of their human weaknesses in their constant work. For example, Li Runshi knew very well that he was very susceptible to external influences, and he simply studied on the road when he was a teenager. This is not to show how good he is at learning, but to overcome his vulnerability, he tries to explore various methods.

Ren Peiguo's attitude is "If you can walk 100 steps, you will never take 99 steps." "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, is the last step easy to take? Chen Ke's joy at the end of each hike is not that he has achieved any bullshit victory, but that he has finally finished his walk and can lie down and rest for a while. You don't have to hang there halfway through the road. As for what success is, it is all something that can only be said when bragging, as for on the road, because the heart rate is faster, the pressure on the blood vessels increases, the feet are hot and hot, and the constant force makes the tendons ache, and it often feels like the bones are about to break. What's the joy of that? But for those who are moving forward, as long as the bones are not really broken, then they have to keep moving forward. It is necessary to have a tragic ideological struggle with the irritability and anger brought about by all kinds of physical discomforts.

Before a leader leads others, he becomes his own master first. In the process, they are well aware of the unreliability of human nature, including themselves.

Therefore, in front of these comrades, Chen Ke spoke very bluntly, and did not mean to have any malicious ridicule of Japan, and Chen Ke only made a realistic judgment based on Japan's development trajectory for more than 100 years. Summer insects can't talk to the ice, and they can't talk to the time. Japan had no chance of dominating the world, and without such an experience, it would have been impossible for them to develop a correct understanding. I had no faith in the Japanese revolution for this reason. ”

Comrades can understand Chen Ke's words, everyone has done practical work for many years, and the real understanding is based on common experience, China has experienced a social stage in which the people of the whole country want to overthrow the imperial power and establish a republican system, even so, Yuan Shikai still wants to be the emperor from time to time. After the founding of New China, there were still people in the corners who "established themselves as emperors". The Japanese revolution had to rely on the name of the Japanese emperor, and this level was too low.

Chen Ke continued: "The revolutionary demands of the Japanese people are very low, and their class consciousness is very limited. I don't think it's time for China to get involved in such a revolution. If China forcibly reformed Japan, the Spanish Civil War was a testament to that. When foreign countries think that China is simply following the current colonial system and annexing some land by force, there is a common benchmark. They see China as a threat, but they don't see China as an enemy. If China wants to force socialist revolutions in other countries by force, we will immediately become the public enemy of the world. ”

No one in the meeting raised the question of whether the Japanese revolutionaries would be pitiful or not, and that was the point that only petty bourgeoisie would put forward. Since the revolution has been decided, it is natural to have the revolutionary consciousness of throwing away one's head and spilling blood. As far as the revolution is concerned, the revolutionary needs of the people are the key to everything. The reason why Chen Ke has always kept a low profile about the Japanese revolution is based on this situation.

In the end, the comrades reached a consensus that "close attention" was needed to the Japanese revolution.
