Chapter 40 The world of matter determines the spirit

said that he was going to another world, but before he finished the previous preparations, neither Lin Mengchu nor Chen Cheng planned to pass over so rashly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not to mention anything else, if the time flow ratio of the two worlds is not clear, maybe I have only been there for a month or two, and ten years have passed here...........

During the long winter, Chen Cheng had to deal with six hours of paperwork every day, the screening and dismissal of prisoners, the planning of various places, the promotion and reward of meritorious personnel, the stationing of the army, the planning of industry, and all kinds of things.

Every time he saw Chu Chu expressing boredom in his office, he would put on a straight face and express his dissatisfaction in this way. He was tired every day, and she only needed to sign and seal the documents, how unfair it was.

Just like the Age of Harmony, and the eras before and after, and all eras from ancient times to the present, it is never those who work hard and sell coolies. Most of the staffed people take up positions and then outsource the tasks.

"Hmm, you have a problem with that?" The girl said, "Or do you have any good way to solve such a problem?" ”

"Yes, there is a solution, but under the existing conditions........ Forget it. ”

"What's the solution? Running into communism/production/capitalism/righteousness?"

"It is estimated that it is very difficult for everyone to be enlightened, well, it has never happened. And in the foreseeable time, it will not appear. Chen Cheng said: "The solution I think of is something else, a hardware solution." ”

"Hardware solution?" Lin Mengchu thought for a while and said, "Is it a way to let everyone upload their consciousness and share the server?" ”

“...... That's a good idea, but my approach isn't that advanced. Chen Cheng wiped a cold sweat, "I just want to build a supercomputing center to replace various judges and lawyers in human society, so as to ensure fairness and justice to the greatest extent." ”

"Cut!" The girl said disdainfully: "This is still the old trick of the Holy Monarch and the Sage King, but it is just a better package." ”

"You don't think that's okay?"

"It's going to be useful at first," the girl said, "but after a while, people will find the loopholes in the mechanics." For example, the input of information, and other things, anyway, at the end of the day, your kind of stuff is going to make a dictator, or a new privilege and ruling class come out. ”

"Isn't it good to have a dictator? You don't like that kind of world? Even if it were like that, it wouldn't seem like anything, would it? ”

"I don't care if he is good or not, I don't care anyway," said the girl, "I just want to tell you that such a thing as class will always exist, unless all mankind dies." ”

"Then we should be considered the ruling class now?"

"Yes, and the highest ruling class."

"Should the ruling class unite and brutally exploit the lower strata?"

"Hmm, you're saying that we should theoretically unite with the ruling classes of other countries and other forces?" Chen Cheng said: "But for the British, we are also the object of their exploitation." ”

"That's right, we just want to issue our own currency, and we don't want to take back the right to customs, so they can't wait to come to the door." The girl frowned and said, "Didn't we get a lot of warship technology back before?" Do you want to start developing the Navy? ”

"Dominate both the sea and the land at the same time?" Chen Cheng shook his head, "We still don't have that kind of strength." ”

"Then build some submarines first? We now have Qingdao as an excellent port, even if the battleships are too tall, it would be good to get some submarines first. ”

"But we don't need it now," Chen Cheng spread his hands, "even if we have those submarines, what are we going to do?" Cripple the Japanese? Threaten their sea transport lines? ”

"Can't you?"

"Yes, but what's in it for us?" Chen Cheng said: "Governing the country cannot be based solely on personal likes and dislikes, but also on the benefits. ”

"I know this, but national interests are not only money and materials, security is also a very important thing."

"Then it is even more impossible to deal with the Japanese first, but the Russians have hoarded hundreds of thousands of troops in the northeast. These armies are like daggers at our throats. If we do move our base camp to Beijing. ”

"That means we still have to defeat the Russians first?" The girl said: "Fighting in Hebei is a completely different thing from a place like the Northeast where the land is sparsely populated and the winter is extremely cold, can we draw hundreds of thousands of field troops to go out to fight the Russians?" ”

“.......... I'm afraid not," Chen Cheng shook his head, "Offense and defense are completely different things. Our local garrisons can still play a role in fighting on the inside line, and when they are pulled out, they will deliver food. It's okay to let them fight a good fight, but if you want them to fight a field battle or a tough battle hundreds or thousands of miles away from home, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"So what are we going to do with the Russians? According to what you say, we will not be able to go to war until we build the railway to Qiqihar. ”

"Or help build the Trans-Siberian Railway," Chen Cheng shrugged at the girl's surprised gaze, "At that time, it was not us who should be in a hurry, but the British and Japanese." ”

"Help the Russians build the Trans-Siberian Railway?" Lin Mengchu thought for a few seconds and understood what he meant, "Do you still want the Japanese and the Russians to fight first?" That's a good idea, too. But we won't choose to be neutral at that time, right? ”

"In another world, the Qing government's external neutrality was actually a very clever approach, although later republics said it was an act of loss of power and humiliation of the country."

"Letting others fight on their own turf, and claiming to be outsider neutral, can this also be considered a clever approach?" The girl laughed, "This can't be described as weak and cowardly, can it?" ”

"However, we live in a world where material determines spirit." Chen Cheng said calmly: "There were many things in the Qing Dynasty that made people feel ridiculous and bad, but their performance in the Russo-Japanese War should not be blamed. They've done not the best, but the least bad. (To be continued.) )
