It is precisely because he saw the greatness of the new young generation that Song Biao finally realized how great the empire he had shaped, and how free, excellent and beautiful this empire was.

Before arriving in Lushan, Song Biao was so confident, the young man gave him infinite confidence and courage, so that he became young again when he was getting older, made him fearless, and let him really dare to dream of everything.

As the students expected, the Chinese will go to the moon.

Among the 140 full-score essays on "China Twenty Years Later", only two of them mention Verne's dream of landing on the moon, but these two represent the greatest longing of the human inner world - to leave the earth and fly into the universe.

By the time Song stepped off the train, he was determined to build a new top-secret 201s project and spend another three decades promoting a massive planetary program that would allow Chinese to set foot on the moon and build a space station in space.

Even if there is no competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony and no Cold War competition, the Chinese must lead the way and stand at the apex of human civilization.

When the train passed through Wuhan, Song Biao deliberately arranged for the train to go slower, so that he could have a chance to take a closer look at Wuhan at night, Wuhan belonged to the central and southern regions of the empire, and also belonged to the central urban area.

The central and southern regions of the empire include Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces, and in the economic zone in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the Seventh Five-Year Plan of the empire, Wuhan, Changsha and Nanchang will build a new urban industrial zone, especially Wuhan, the foundation left by Zhang Zhidong was well inherited and developed by the empire, and it is indeed the most important central city in the central part of the country, whether it is in education, economy and science and technology, it is relatively good.

Wuhan's advantage lies in transportation, with large enterprises such as Zhongnan Railway Company, Zhongnan Heavy Industry, Hanyeping, Yangtze River Shipbuilding Corporation, Changjiang Machinery Group, Zhongnan Machine Tool, and Hanyang Machinery Co., Ltd. concentrated here, as well as local public and private universities.

On the industrial map of the empire, it is also the center of machinery, ships, automobiles, and electrical manufacturing in the central region of the empire, especially the military industry, because it is the center of the empire's territory, which means that the empire is in the safest area no matter what military threat it encounters.

Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, these cities can be regarded as second-tier industrial lines in the military industry of the empire, among these cities, Wuhan is also the only shipbuilding center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the warships produced here are mainly frigates, destroyers and small and medium-sized patrol ships below 5000 tons, and the Hanyang automobile industry developed on the basis of tanks and armored vehicles is also relatively developed, and has a certain position in the national automobile industry.

Every time Song Biao passes by here, he will think of the revolution 30 years ago, which is the biggest impression and memory left by Wuhan.

He will also think of Zhang Zhidong.

Experiences have gradually become a part of Chinese history, and when he looks back on the past, he often thinks of Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai, and other people who have left, and in his memory, they still seem to have always existed.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening of this day, the Dongfang special train entered Lushan County and stopped at Lushan South Railway Station, starting the long vacation of the imperial royal family in the midsummer of this year.

At the same time as the royal family arrived at the Lushan Summer Palace, Wu Xunzhi, vice president of the Central Academy of Sciences, and several other scientists who came to attend the symposium also arrived, and Song Biao happily invited Wu Xunzhi and others to attend the dinner held in the summer palace in the evening.

Although Song Biao, who had been riding the train for a day, was a little tired, after the game was over, he still invited Wu Xunzhi to the Yuequan Garden in the summer palace for a discussion.

The scale of the Imperial Summer Palace is much larger than the Central Palace, after all, it is the place where the Lushan Conference is held for a long time, among which there are four Imperial Gardens alone, the Moon Spring Garden is a small garden built around the Lushan Reflecting Moon Spring, the corridor flower hall and the rockery bamboo forest are very cleverly matched, and it is known for its clean and elegant attractions in the Summer Palace.

In the evening, there was a drizzling drizzle, and Song Biao invited Wu Xunzhi to sit down in the flower hall of the Yuequan Garden, listening to the beautiful sound of the drizzle outside the window on the Qingquan pool, and listening to the wind caressing the bamboo forest, which was also quite interesting in the deep mountains.

Wu Xunzhi is not only the vice president of the Central Academy of Sciences, but also a senior scientific adviser to the General Administration of the Inner Court, but whenever he wants to make a decision in the field of nuclear physics, Song Biao will invite him to come over to discuss relevant scientific issues, it should be said that both sides are still very familiar.

Song Biao happened to have a question to consult with Wu Xunzhi during this time, since he met in the Lushan Summer Palace, he decided to take this opportunity to ask, and when Wu Xunzhi sat down and the tea was served, Song Biao did not ask Wu Xunzhi directly without too many greetings: "Do you know that the Central Cabinet is considering the idea of building China's first commercial nuclear power plant in the Seventh Five-Year Plan?" ”

Wu Xunzhi was still holding a teacup in his hand, because the emperor was very eager to ask, and he didn't finish a few polite words, which made him a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he cautiously replied slightly: "The cabinet has made clear to us the requirements in this regard." ”

Song Biao motioned for Wu Xunzhi to drink tea first, and then waited for a while before continuing to ask: "Then do you think it is feasible to have a high surname?" ”

Wu Xunzhi replied: "I don't think it's very proper, in the past ten years, the empire's nuclear fission power generation system engineering research progress is very fast, but there is definitely a big gap from the real mature and reliable commercial operation, especially considering the fact that China's coal and water resources are very rich under the premise, rushing to the nuclear power project does not seem to be the best choice." ”

Song Biao agreed with Wu Xunzhi's point of view, but asked: "Then when do you estimate that the commercial power generation project of nuclear fission can be officially implemented?" ”

Wu Xunzhi made a careful estimate and replied: "The Seventh Five-Year Plan and the Eighth Five-Year Plan will continue to strengthen research investment, build another set of nuclear fission reactor simulated generator sets, and carry out more tests on the basis of the Achite Nuclear Fission Research Base and the Hanzhong Nuclear Research Institute, then by the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it should be feasible to formally build the first experimental commercial project." ”

Song Biao asked him, "Then where are you going to put the new analog unit?" ”

Wu Xunzhi replied: "The scale of our previous experimental units in Hanzhong and Aqite Lake area was too small, and many critical studies could not fully simulate the actual commercial operation conditions, so this time I hope to choose to carry out a large-scale simulated unit in the Far East uninhabited area in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and the power generation scale will reach 300,000 kilowatts." ”

Song Biao thought for a moment.

He was concerned about the military threat, because the battle for Sakhalin had not yet been completely over, and even after that, there was a possibility that Ben would continue to send spies in the area.

After thinking about it, Song Biao still agreed to this proposal and said: "You can first let the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Nuclear Physics do a pre-research investigation in this regard, and report it to the Central Secrecy Bureau when the conditions are appropriate." ”

Wu Xunzhi nodded in agreement.

Song Biao's basic attitude towards the nuclear power plant is to support development, but not to support popularization, let alone the premature pursuit of commercial operation, he still hopes to wait until the technical conditions are more mature.

Even if it is commercialized in the future, the empire will focus more on scientific research in this field than on premature large-scale large-scale use, because the empire is the country with the richest coal resources in the world, and the water resources are also very rich, and there are enough resources to maintain a relatively long-term power supply development.

Song Biao was certainly not particularly familiar with the scientific community, so he took this opportunity to ask Wu Xunzhi: "If the empire plans to develop space science and technology for a long time, launch artificial satellites, use space for wireless communication and military reconnaissance and other things, including the development of space rockets, lunar and Mars exploration and other aerospace science and technology, in your opinion, who will be more suitable to lead this work?" ”

Wu Xunzhi seriously pondered for a long time, and then replied to Song Biao: "I think there is still a lack of such suitable talents in China, and even in the entire international world, such people are lacking; if you must choose, I think Comrade Tu Shouning, the chief designer of the D series of intercontinental ballistic missiles, is the most suitable; first, the ballistic missiles and aerodynamics that he has studied in depth are the foundation of aerospace science and technology; second, he has rich leadership experience in systems research projects. ”

Song Biao nodded in agreement.

That's what he had expected.

This is a completely new field, and there are still very few human beings in this field, although there are many astrophysicists in the empire and the world, but the scientists who really need to be responsible for this scientific research must be people who can solve practical problems, and he needs to lead the greatest team to complete the development of the aircraft and send it to space, so that the instrument can function normally in the space environment.

Wu Xunzhi was very interested in this, and asked Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, this should be the second huge scientific research project like a nuclear program in the empire, right?" ”

Song Biao agreed, and said: "Yes, we must take a long time to gradually complete this plan, maybe it will take half a century, maybe it will take more than ten years, who knows?" Just like when we were originally engaged in the study of nuclear physics. The Chinese nation has created very important inventions that have changed the human world and human civilization, and now we should continue to create greater new technologies. ”

Wu Xunzhi sighed approvingly: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Song Biao looked at the time, and saw that it was still early, so he asked Wu Xunzhi to talk about the situation at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in detail by the way, the empire is developing in two fields of nuclear physics research at the same time, one is nuclear weapons, and the other is nuclear fission power stations, both of which are very large system projects.

The Empire's nuclear weapons have advanced very rapidly in recent years, and after basically figuring out the theory of the entire nuclear weapon and having a sound production base, the Empire has carried out a total of more than 40 nuclear explosion tests in different situations in the northwest, and has compiled enough rich information and data, at present, the Empire has completed the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb, and continues to make continuous efforts to increase the explosive yield of the nuclear warhead.

On the other hand, the Missile Research Institute is also cooperating with a number of large aviation weapons companies to develop more advanced ballistic missiles, and after a major breakthrough has been made in the development of medium-range missiles, the Empire has begun to carry out a systematic intercontinental missile development program, and once the program is successful, the Empire will be able to directly use intercontinental nuclear missiles to attack most countries in the world, which is enough to ensure the Empire's absolute superiority in the military field.

Germany's policy of giving priority to the eastward and expanding to the Soviet Union has made the whole of Europe breathe a sigh of relief, and Britain, France, and the United States have maintained quite good relations with Germany, and people have not realized that a larger-scale world war is coming, and the US nuclear missile development program has not yet begun.

In the world, there are only two countries that are carrying out nuclear weapons research, one is the successful Chinese Empire, and the other is Nazi Germany, which is still in the basic stage.

…… The world is going through the twilight before the darkness, the setting sun is shining on the world, people think that what is coming is a new hope, who knows that what is coming is even more endless darkness, perhaps for the Jews, they have already experienced what darkness is.

Nazi Germany was killing Jews, and they were all going to lose their foothold in Europe.

Some people hate Jews, some people say how powerful Jews are, how they control the world's economy, how they control the world's financial power, but in Song Biao's view, all this is just a lie.

The Jews are nothing but a miserable and intelligent people, they have their own history, their own customs, and the most important of all customs is the importance of education and commerce, which they have learned in their long history of drifting, and the two most important national characteristics that have been preserved, just like the diligence, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness of the Chinese.

Jews may or may not be influential, none of this matters.

They are just a very normal and not ordinary people, that's all, their tragedy originated in religion, and their success also originated in religion, and from the very beginning, China was willing to accept them.

China is so kind and loving to the Jewish people.

In Liaoning Province, Aurora Prefecture, Tianjin Prefecture, Shandong Province Qingdao Prefecture, Shanghai Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Hong Kong International Public Regions have set up special Jewish National Mutual Aid Associations and Jewish Settlement Centers, and the National Assembly passed the "Jewish Mutual Aid Act", allowing Jews to enter China's international public areas under any circumstances to temporarily stay, which is tantamount to granting Jews visa-free treaties and allowing Jews to take refuge in China's international public areas without any visas.

The Shanghai Yangpu International Public District is actually a place of refuge reserved for Jews, and the central government and Shanghai government have successively allocated funds to build infrastructure in the area, expanding tens of thousands of public rental houses, and the local police and immigration bureaus can provide temporary residences for Jews who have taken refuge in Shanghai as needed, and connect them with work to help them support themselves in China and survive the darkest time in their history.

Taking advantage of the special relations with Germany and Poland, the Reich Foreign Ministry and the Legations in Germany and Poland continued to provide a large number of asylum to local Jews, issuing hundreds of thousands of visas to pick them up from Germany and Poland.

Jews doing business in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Aurora also joined forces to donate money, regularly arranging for ships to transport Jews from Europe to China, and the China Charity Federation would arrange such collective transfers on regular cruises to provide political asylum for Jews.

Some of the Jews would sail to Shanghai after arriving in China, and most of them would stay and work in China under the arrangement of various associations and social institutions, although most of the Jews did not have the high knowledge and skills that China needed, and they were not wealthy, but this was not necessarily directly related to the interests and needs of the empire.

Put yourself in their shoes.

If the mass murder of the Chinese continues in Southeast Asia, and China is in a period of chaos, is it impossible to hope that one country will stand up and uphold justice?

Since China wants to be a real new hegemon in the world, it is necessary for China to maintain the most universal justice on the planet and protect justice.

In addition to providing asylum protection to Jews, the Empire also continued to provide protection to political refugees in the Soviet Union and Kazakhstan, and even if the Soviet Union declared that they were deserters who did not fulfill their people's obligations, and even if the Soviet Union declared that they were political prisoners, the Empire would provide the most basic guarantees for all.

All this is only because in this world, only the Chinese Empire can do these things.

The Reich could defend justice without paying much attention to what the USSR and Nazi Germany were thinking.

In 1940, there were about 7.3 million foreigners living in the territory of the Chinese Empire, of which about 1/2 have not yet joined the imperial nationality, as the empire firmly occupies the position of the most powerful country in the world, the influx of the empire to seek opportunities, seeking to survive more and more foreigners, in the empire has more than 500 million people, millions, even more than 10 million foreign nationalities will not let the empire have any surprise, The Empire welcomes highly educated expatriates to join the Empire's infinite future, but it does not ruthlessly exclude those who are suffering or have new hopes.

That's how the world is.

When there was no longer any suspense in the Third Sino-Chinese War, when the Empire adopted a kind of circular blockade to block the Japanese on the barren mainland islands, even though the Soviet-German War was entering a decisive battle of life and death, as the Chinese Empire returned to calm and stability, the world seemed to become quiet.

Peace seems to have become a dream again.

United Kingdom.

It is getting farther and farther away from the throne of world hegemony, but in the hearts of Churchill and British politicians, they still believe in the greatness of the British Empire and the Anglo-Saxon nation, and refuse to accept the re-emergence of the Chinese Empire, and refuse to recognize that the Chinese Empire has become the most powerful new empire in the world.

United States.

Far from the war, it exported military equipment and war resources to Germany and the Soviet Union, and it had just lost an important market, and the shipping lanes from San Francisco to Tokyo and Osaka were completely closed.

It can't wait to end this Sino-Chinese war, wants to coordinate, wants to threaten, but it is powerless to change this situation, and it is not willing to take the risk of a head-on conflict with the Chinese Empire, although it knows very well that with the demise of the Empire, China will no longer have any fears, there is no country in Asia that can contain China, and in the coming time, China and the United States will become a frontal competitor in the Pacific.

The United States wants to set up a military base on Guam, set up a new base for the Pacific Navy, and station its navy and air force in order to maintain deterrence against the Chinese Navy, but when China eliminated its troops stationed in the Mariana Islands, it took advantage of the special situation that the United States did not have troops stationed on Guam, took advantage of the chaos to occupy Guam, and set up an air base and radar station.

Although China negotiated with the United States through diplomatic channels and promised to withdraw from Guam after the war, the United States did not believe this, and the US Navy knew very well that once China occupied the area for a long time, the connection between the US mainland and the Philippine colonies would be easily severed, and the US Navy would lose its deterrent power in the western Pacific.

Even without Guam, the Chinese Navy still has Saipan, Rota, and the Palau Islands in the distance, and no matter how much they toss, as long as China does not want the United States to deter the Western Pacific, they will be able to do it.

The U.S. wants to finalize the matter in a formal diplomatic document, with the two sides signing a Lend-Lease agreement in which China recognizes ownership of Guam as the U.S. and the U.S. lends China five to ten years of stationing troops and custody of Guam, which China has never recognized.

China only recognizes that the United States has the right to control and occupy Guam, and that sovereignty belongs to the people of Asia themselves, that is, to the natives of the Mariana Islands.

In other words, whether the United States agrees to the lease or not, China can be given regulatory powers, and as long as China openly supports and recognizes a Mariana Islands political axe that firmly anchors the United States to the pillar of shame of the aggressors and colonizers, China can justifiably expel the United States from these waters, and the U.S. Navy is not willing to go to war with the Chinese Navy for such a thing.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Chinese and US navies are at war, the United States may not be the opponent of the Chinese Navy; when expressing this issue to President Roosevelt, the US Navy Department has very clearly warned His Excellency the President that the US Navy is at a great disadvantage, and the US political axe must attach importance to this issue, support the Admiralty's new shipbuilding program, and purchase a large number of aircraft carriers.

Whether it is the Battle of Sanduao or the Battle of Jeju, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier-centric theory has shocked the two major naval hegemons of Britain and the United States, and when the total number of aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy in a state of war exceeds 20, the number of aircraft carriers in Britain and the United States is only 1/3 of China.

This is one of the most bizarre moments in modern naval history, and it means that the combined British and American navies may not be able to defeat the Chinese navy.

Germany.

Germany was continuing its aggressive policy of advancing on the Soviet Union, and in fact, Hitler and the Nazis' original plan was to attack France first to take revenge, but also to occupy European industry and resources, and finally attack the Soviet Union.

It was only with the support and warning of China that Hitler was forced to launch a war plan to attack the Soviet Union in advance, and they went so smoothly that the world was afraid.

France has turned to support the Soviet Union, hoping to use the Soviet Union to contain Nazi Germany and consume Nazi Germany's military strength.

USSR.

The Soviet Union was paying the price for its long-term policy of infiltration in Central Asia, they could not give up Kazakhstan, even if China was willing to reconcile with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not want to trust China, Stalin was in Vyacheslav. In the preliminary agreement reached between Molotov and China, he was hesitant to abandon Central Asia in exchange for China's support to defend the Soviet Union.

In fact, Stalin did not need to buy too much military equipment from China, he believed that the Soviet Union only needed more technical support, needed to produce more anti-aircraft guns and aluminum, and the Soviet Red Army would definitely be able to defend the country and destroy Nazi Germany.

This also meant that Stalin did not see the need for the Soviet Union to abandon the Kazakh region and lose control of this buffer zone, and the Chinese mechanized corps would have the opportunity to directly threaten the Soviet Union, which Stalin was unwilling to accept.

At this moment when China is officially moving towards world hegemony, the world is also undergoing countless changes this year, and countries are looking for the most beneficial choice for their own countries in the chaotic situation.

For Stalin, he still thought that China could not endure the German occupation of the Soviet Union, but in fact, the Reich had already made all preparations for this, and the Reich also hoped that Germany would eventually defeat the Soviet Union and occupy the Soviet Union, opening a historical door for the Reich to conquer the West.

When Stalin decided to reject Vyacheslav. When Molotov reached the preliminary conditions for the Sino-Soviet secret treaty and hoped to renegotiate a new secret treaty that was more favorable to the Soviet Union and more in line with his hopes and requirements, the road to the great westward expedition of the Chinese Empire had already begun to be officially paved.
