Under the crisis of the destruction of the country due to internal and external troubles, countless people with lofty ideals opened their eyes wide and searched hard to save the country and the people. As a result, various theoretical ideas such as industry to save the country, education to save the country, to save the country, business to save the country, and revolution to save the country have also emerged. In particular, the end of the thought has become the source of wisdom for all kinds of strange ideas of Chinese thinkers.

In Chen Qiang's view, these theories and ideas without exception lack the ability to observe complex historical phenomena, and are unable to resist the coercion of Western ideological trends, and are even more invaded and influenced by nationalist sentiments. As a result, it appears to be extreme and incomplete, passionate and irrational. Revolution is a major event, at least we should be good at thinking rather than action. But at this critical juncture of great social transformation, China's history lacks such a helmsman-like thinker who can guide the way.

And like fear of gaffes, people are often afraid of being confused. Because people usually need a black and white world, no matter how difficult it is, most people still try to find a solution to their inner confusion, to relieve the anxiety caused by gray ambiguity or ambiguity, and Zou Rong is one of the most people.

For two days in a row, Zou Rong was recording Tocqueville's book dictated by Chen Qiang, arguing and discussing with Chen Qiang with wrong or incomplete answers. Then, either with a new understanding or with a new confusion, he walked slowly back to the residence arranged for him by Chen Qiang, and read it all night with candlelight.

After a few years, Zou Rong was full of emotion about the changes in his thinking during this time, "At the beginning, I was just a kind of psychology that refused to admit defeat, and later, I found that my so-called theory of art was simply shallow and naïve, I read a lot of Western philosophical works, and learned the logical way of thinking, which was a huge leap, at least in my opinion, it was a major turning point in my life......

It is obviously not an easy task to pull out a team with a relatively military atmosphere in ten days. But this is a good opportunity to advertise, but Chen Qiang did not let it go easily.

The number of people is reduced, and the less is better, and the whole team can appear neater; Personnel should be strong, first "body" to win people, thin and short how to look heroic; Clothing should be standardized, this is the main thing, people rely on clothing! Well, there is no shortage of gongs and drums, and a more exciting song is almost the same.

I have to say that although there are still many deficiencies in this nominal anti-Russian volunteer team, it also makes Lin Dijun a little unexpected. Forty sturdy men, eight young women, one-color denim clothes and trousers, shiny copper buttons, barrel hats, rubber-soled shoes, the whole line stood there, and there was an eye-catching feeling immediately.

This Chen Qiang seems to have been prepared, and this financial resources are abundant enough. Lin Dijun naturally didn't know the details of Chen Qiang, and what surprised him even more was that Chen Qiang actually hired two Germans as instructors.

In this turbulent era, no one can stay out of it. or go with the flow in the turbulent turmoil and resign yourself to fate; Or bravely fight the wind and waves and stand tall at the head of the tide. For Chen Qiang, he wants to control his own destiny and will never be at the mercy. If one person can't do it, then it's a group, if it can't protect itself, won't all these businesses he has established be wedding dresses for others?

For military affairs, Chen Qiang is not good at it, he is proficient in lightning-fast assassination, rather than fighting against thousands of troops. Therefore, he organized a factory protection team and invited two retired German officers who were not satisfied in Shanghai to practice on Tianyi. Of course, it is a bit of an extravagant expectation to expect the factory protection team to fight, but it is still enough to cultivate discipline and act as a force to protect the industry in Lujiawan.

Moreover, these two Germans, like Roden, will also become a bridge between Chen Qiang and the German chemical community, able to grasp the German market, and buy the chemical equipment he needs from Germany. At the same time, with these two true foreign ghosts in charge, it is enough to bluff away the harassment of the Manchu government.

If you want to develop industry, you can't do without the policy support of the government, but the Manchu government is now only an agent tax collector of the great powers, and it can't play such a role at all. More importantly, the customs were held in the hands of the British as collateral for the indemnity, and the import and export rates were set to facilitate the dumping and plundering of raw materials from China by the great powers.

In addition, there is a heavy shackle placed on the neck of China's national industry and commerce, that is, the commercial contract. According to the commercial treaties signed between the foreign powers and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, foreign merchants enjoyed special privileges, while national merchants not only had to face the impact of foreign capital and technology, but also had to be oppressed and exploited by the government.

Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, this is the bitterness and helplessness of many Chinese businessmen affiliated with foreign companies, Chen Qiang can not change this fact, if he wants to survive and grow, he has to use foreigners as a cover, this is a shield, but also a parasol.

"Mr. Chen, can you remove the armband or logo on this left arm?" Lin Dijun tentatively put forward his opinions.

"Why?" Chen Qiang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "The pattern can be modified, but it is better to wear this thing." Mr. Lin may not know that this thing is very helpful for training. ”

It sounds ridiculous, but it is indeed a difficulty in training, and even Chen Qiang was surprised at the time. And with a sign on the arm, this problem is less likely to occur.

After listening to Chen Qiang's explanation, Lin Dijun was relieved, nodded and said, "It's ignorant that I am ignorant." Well, this method is good, especially for new recruits who are born peasants. As he spoke, he smiled to himself and said, "It seems that we can enjoy leisure, so as not to be suspected of having an axe." Well, I'll go back now, hoping to see the heroic appearance of the Volunteers that day. ”

"Mr. Lin humbled himself." Chen Qiang said with a smile: "If you are busy with affairs, you dare not delay, you are welcome to come and observe the correction at any time." ”

Lin Dijun smiled, and said in his heart that this Chen Qiang was not polite, and he didn't have a word to stay.

After sending Lin Dijun away, Chen Qiang pretended to yell at the training team a few times, all of which were drawn from the factory, and he took Gongdian off-duty training, and he couldn't practice the money of the blind old man. It is not required to be like the national guard of honor for welcoming guests and reviewing, as long as the chest is held high, the queue is kept neat, and the passionate songs are added, it can also bluff those turtles who have never seen a battle, right?
