In the afternoon, the weather was overcast, and soon a light rain began to fall. Ouyang Jian walked into a large ancestral hall with an umbrella, and suddenly there was warm applause in the ancestral hall. Ouyang Jian walked up to the podium and raised his hand to salute a standard military salute. After the warm applause stopped, Ouyang Jian looked at the crowd under the stage and found that the people listening to the lecture were all sitting on small wooden stools, and everyone had a notebook on their knees. There are "familiar faces" sitting in the front row. Such as Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yun, Deng Lao, etc

After a few days of preparation, Ouyang Jian's economic class was arranged in the afternoon, and the morning was still a training for senior generals. Facing everyone, Ouyang Jian cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, the headquarters asked me to give you an economic lesson, which is really a bit reluctant, and it tastes like chasing ducks to the shelves." I would like to share my encouragement with you based on my experience in the Jiujiang base area. Although good results have been achieved in the Jiujiang base area, they have also gained from foreign experience. If there is anything incorrect, I hope you will correct it politely. I am a soldier, and I will explain from the perspective of a military man, the close relationship between politics and economics, economic base and superstructure, economy and war, economy and our daily lives. ”

"How to consolidate the base areas, how to develop and strengthen the base areas, and how to develop the wartime economy are the main tasks facing us. First of all, let's briefly explain the relationship between politics and economics through the prism of history. The Chinese nation is an industrious and intelligent nation, and our ancestors not only created a brilliant Chinese culture, but also invented and created the four major inventions that promoted the historical process. When it comes to the brilliant achievements of the economy, we have to mention the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be a banner of economic development in ancient times. At that time, the gross national product of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to 70 percent of the world."

There was an exclamation below. "What is the concept of 70 percent, needless to say, everyone here knows it in their hearts. Comrades, here I am not singing praises for the emperors and generals of ancient times, I am objectively appraising, as the so-called ancient is for the present, and the foreign is for the Chinese. Some of you may know the Italian traveler Marco Polo, who was an official in the Yuan Dynasty and wrote in detail about the prosperity of the ancient kingdom of the East. Four years after Marco Polo's arrival in China, in 1297, the Southern Song Dynasty fell. “

Marco Polo came to Bianjing, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is today's Hangzhou. Even though Hangzhou has long lost its former glory after the war, it is still a paradise on earth in the eyes of Marco Polo. The emperors of the Song Dynasty belonged to the enlightened category compared with the previous dynasties, and if the image compares them to the high-level intellectuals, the calligraphy of the emperors of the Song Dynasty is a school of its own, and it is still far-reaching to this day. The Song Dynasty was a dynasty in ancient China that did not suppress commerce and encouraged it, and merchants had a high status in society at that time. “

"The great development of commerce and overseas trade in the Song Dynasty stimulated the development of manufacturing and agriculture. The porcelain of the Song Dynasty is beautiful and unique in the world, and the silk of the Song Dynasty is a luxury item among foreigners, and only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford to wear it. At that time, the foreigners had nothing to trade with China, so they could only exchange ships of real money and silver for clay-fired porcelain, silk and other daily necessities. I praise the glory of the ancients here, which shows that the Chinese nation is a wise and industrious nation, as well as extraordinary creativity. ”

In addition, it is also to explain the relationship between politics and economy, economic base and superstructure, and also to show that economic activities have their regularity, and a good policy and a relaxed, fair and reasonable environment play a vital role in economic development. We Communists are a group of people who have firm beliefs in the world in mind, and we are fully capable and courageous to build a prosperous new country in the future. Bursting into applause from below.

Ouyang Jian Dingqing took a look and found that there were people standing around, and at some point Runzhi, Enlai, Xiang Ying, including the staff of the organs and senior generals, all appeared at the venue, obviously they were attracted by Ouyang Jian's wonderful speech. Ouyang Jian nodded and continued: "The above is the economic law that we have to follow in peacetime. Next, I will talk about how the economy of our base areas is developing at present, that is, the wartime economy. The wartime economy is a special model, an economic activity in a state of war. ”

"Maybe in the next few years, if not decades, our base areas will have to face a wartime economy. What is a wartime economy, that is, in order to achieve victory in the war, all economic activities are for the front. The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first, and a few words profoundly expounded the ancients' sober understanding of logistics support in a state of war. Logistics support is particularly important in modern warfare, and in a word, logistics is what wars are fought. Fighting with as few thousand people as large as tens of thousands or even millions of people will all be defeated if there is no strong logistical support. ”

"So I would say that in the next few years, if not decades, we will be in the war phase, which is what we are going to face in terms of a war economy. I am afraid that all of you here have experienced that the troops lack guns, ammunition, food, and clothing in continuous combat, and the combat effectiveness of the troops can be imagined. Now that the national crisis is at hand, we must race against time. If a full-scale Sino-Japanese war breaks out, how can it be a battle of tens of millions of people, it will be a national war, and the two sides will have to invest millions of people to fight, and the materials for the battle are probably astronomical. ”

"There will be a war between China and Japan, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the survival of the nation will once again test our ancient civilization, which is full of holes, and in the face of a powerful enemy armed to the teeth, we have no other way but to rise up and resist, and we must defend this magical land with blood and life without hesitation. In order to resist Japanese militarist aggression, we must make full use of the existing conditions and even create conditions to make preparations for a war against aggression to the greatest extent. Although we still have to fight against the Kuomintang, we must focus on the Japanese army launching a full-scale war of aggression against China. It's also a rainy day. Ouyang Jian took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and continued: "Today is just throwing bricks and stones, the time is not early, tomorrow on how to implement the wartime economy, I will explain in detail in combination with the European war, and at the same time, we must also consider our national conditions and carry out a systematic explanation." You can ask questions, and I will answer them as best I can. That's all for today, if there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct. Immediately, warm applause broke out below, and Ouyang Jian raised his hand in salute. Ouyang Jian's speech was very innovative and agitatory, which made people feel enthusiastic.

Walking out of the ancestral hall, Runzhi said excitedly: "Brother Ouyang, your speech gives people a refreshing feeling and is exciting. Fang Caien came to treat you, but we are all proletarians! "Political Commissar Mao, since you say that I am a rich man, then treat yourself to yourself, and you can just follow with your mouth. Let's go to the tooth sacrifice. Naturally, everyone had no opinion. Soon he was dining at one of the best restaurants in Ruijin City. During the banquet, everyone gossiped, and according to the blueprint drawn by Ouyang Jian, they offered suggestions one after another.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Enlai seemed to think of something: "Everyone, Brother Ouyang knows Europe and the United States very well, I heard Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan say privately in the base area, Europe and the United States are developing a terrifying bomb, a bomb can destroy a city, what kind of bomb is so terrifying?" Hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious. Ouyang Jian's expression also became serious and said: "All of you here are the core figures of the party, and I only talked to Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan in the base area. Every word I say today is absolutely confidential and cannot be leaked. ”

"At present, the development of this terrifying bomb in Europe and the United States is still in the theoretical stage, and I judge that it will take more than ten years for this terrifying bomb to come out. At present, European and American physicists have begun to focus on theoretical research, and have affirmed the huge capacity contained in uranium ore. In the current state, theoretical research is in its initial stage, and once it is theoretically put into operation, the atomic bomb will soon be available. The principle of the explosion of the atomic bomb is that the fission of the atomic nucleus then releases a huge amount of energy, known as the energy from hell, once this energy is released, mankind will face a great disaster. Everyone was shocked by the unheard-of atomic bomb and fell silent.

"Given the enormous energy of atomic fission, it would be a great boon to us humans if this energy could be used peacefully by humans. Now, as far as I know, when uranium ore is purified, just a few kilograms can destroy a city of hundreds of thousands of people. What you may not know is that the sun above us is undergoing nuclear fusion every second, which in turn produces a huge and constant stream of light and heat. I would like to remind you that the sun is engaged in nuclear fusion, and the atomic bomb is nuclear fission, and the two are not comparable. The energy of a nuclear fusion explosion is even more powerful, and in the future, a nuclear fusion bomb can destroy a country, or even cause the destruction of the earth itself, and human beings may disappear. “

"Comrades, this is definitely not groundless, scientists have already come to conclusions in theory. Figuratively, the atomic bomb is detonated by explosives, and ** is that nuclear fusion is detonated by the atomic bomb. The explosion of an atomic bomb produces shock bursts and light radiation. None of the creatures in the blast area existed. In particular, lethal radiation can be harmful to humans for decades, centuries or even longer. And the difference between the atomic bomb and the atomic bomb is that the explosion does not produce lethal radiation. The only way to curb a nuclear war is for both sides to jointly possess the atomic bomb and achieve the goal of common destruction, that is, to bind and restrain mankind, so that mankind will not dare to use the atomic bomb easily, so we do not need to worry too much. In a word, even if the atomic bomb is introduced, the side that owns the atomic bomb will not use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Everyone had a solemn expression when they heard this.

"Commander Ouyang, the information you provided is too important, please judge how long it will take for the atomic bomb to come out?" Runzhi asked. "My judgment will not be more than 15 years." "Commander Ouyang, obviously you have some research on the atomic bomb, I want to hear your thoughts?" Enlai asked. "Comrades, the situation is not so terrible. The only way to defend against an atomic bomb is to build underground. The most effective way to do this is to have the same atomic bomb as the enemy. As far as I know, there are young physicists from our continent who have gone to Europe and the United States to study in this area. I'm going to keep Darkarrow on the lookout for talent in this area. ”

"Political Commissar Mao, Secretary Zhou, if the conditions and environment are right, I am confident that I can build an atomic bomb within 20 years?" Ouyang Jian cut categorically. Runzhishu stood up and said: "Comrades, the world is changing with each passing day, and time is running out, once the atomic bomb is a weapon of mass destruction, the whole world will change for it." Therefore, our medium-term strategy must be realized ahead of schedule, and we must have a solid foothold. On the one hand, we must face the aggression of Japanese militarism, and on the other hand, we must end the civil war as soon as possible and unite with the outside world. Comrade Ouyang Jian, I propose that you set up a secret organization in the Jiujiang base area to specialize in the study of the atomic bomb, codenamed Project 01. We need talents, we need talents, we need conditions, we provide the best conditions, and we have full responsibility for you. ”

Enlai said: "What Comrade Ouyang Jian said today is highly confidential, and not a word is allowed to be leaked to the outside world. In addition, I fully agree with Comrade Junzhi's proposal to realize the medium-term strategy as soon as possible and end the civil war as soon as possible. We, the Communists, must show courage and open-mindedness, that is, base ourselves on Jiangxi and Fujian, and use this as a condition to promote the second cooperation between the KMT and the CPC. Whether or not Chiang Kai-shek can sit down and negotiate is the key to how we can achieve a greater military victory. "Everyone's minds have changed because of the terrible bomb, so to speak, from quantitative to qualitative. Ouyang Jian often let out a sigh of relief, and a new history was born.
