In December 1940, in an attempt to prove their resolve to the British, German, Italian, and Spanish forces invaded Yugoslavia and Greece. After Rommel's army swept through the plains of Mesopotamia, it entered Syria and Jordan. There is a trend into Egypt.

The British increased their forces in Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, while the Soviets crossed the Gaucasus and went directly into Persia. The British Indian army also entered southern Persia, and the British navy was thrown into the Persian Gulf from the Asian contraction.

The three countries were at suffrage, and the Middle East was in chaos.

Europe has calmed down, and although France has the heart to fight back, it does not have the strength to fight back now.

De Gaulle was trading some of the colonies in southern Africa and the United States for weapons and food resources, while housing the gradually gathering French in northern Africa. Establish a shipping route between North Africa and the United States. Britain did not turn its face and deny people, but still ensured the passage of French refugees in the Mediterranean. In fact, Britain also hoped that the French counteroffensive would succeed, and then disrupt Germany's military deployment. Ease the pressure on Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula.

In January 1941, the second factory module was lifted into the air and assembled was completed. Zhao Yu and Qin Jinli still refused to come back. They are going to replace the first satellite with the latest new. They said they would come back after completing this mission. Because after the launch of the second plant module. The space factory has some small cutting, casting and other equipment manufacturing capabilities, and of course, it also has maintenance capabilities.

The staff on it reached ten. The level of automation in the factory is very high, but that is only the result of experiments at a seabed monitoring station. When it comes to space, there are a lot of problems. So someone needs to make adjustments. And form the process of space manufacturing.

The space towing experiment is also the most important step in the material recovery work. This means that the space factory is officially put into operation. So Zhao Yu and they don't want to come back, and they have their reasons. After that, they used recycled materials in space to build further capsules. and even equipment manufacturing.

Space thrusters and other debris thrown in the garbage dump weigh much more than the capsule itself.

The number of college students who graduated in 1940 reached three million, which is a staggering number. However, in 1941, five million university students went on to higher education. This is because in Annam. The educational systems of Kazakhstan, Magadan, Kamchatka and Chukotka were completed. In addition, Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang have improved the educational capacity of the education system. It nearly doubled the number of college graduates all at once.

Three million people graduated. It may bring nearly 10 million people to the movement, and the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments have worked hard.

And the results of the distribution also directly slowed down the ambitious Bai Chongxi. Because statistics from the Ministry of Education show that the proportion of Han Chinese has dropped to 72 percent. This is already a very dangerous level.

However, according to the statistics of the health department, the quality of births has improved as a result of the policy of ethnic mixing. Ninety percent of the new population is based on the Han nationality. Although nearly 30% are mixed-race. Because of this, the infant mortality rate is very low, and the physiological indicators of infants are improving rapidly.

The total population of the country has reached more than 870 million. However, the birth rate was lower than expected, and the mortality rate was higher than expected, especially the abnormal mortality rate. As a result, the net population growth fell to about 9 percent. Coupled with late marriage and eugenics, the educational effects began to appear. In 1941, a net increase in population was not expected to exceed nine percent.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs has made efforts to ensure that the North and the South and all ethnic groups are distributed as much as possible in the distribution of graduates, but this has become difficult.

In 1941, Seattle's education system would be incorporated into the Department of Education.

Bai Chongxi could only deduce the battle situation with the staff officers to send the anguish of not being able to fight. However, the training and skirmishes of front-line troops have become more frequent. Let these tough recruits also complain.

In Annam province, some ethnic minority armed forces who do not want to submit are out of luck. The drug lords who still want to grow opium are even more miserable. Fought by the soldiers as if they were fighting the regular army. A lot of nests were smashed for no apparent reason. Siam. The semi-independent status was directly abolished. The Chinese military were suffocated. Frightened, Long Yun and Sun Ke ordered the troops to settle down a little, so as not to invite unwarranted disasters.

The Chinese border troops continued to attack, destroying the surrounding military stations and roads, and even the patrolling Soviets, Japanese and British troops were almost wiped out. However, it appears that Chinese troops have been ordered not to occupy the territory of other countries. So it was generally tossed for a period of time and withdrawn to the country.

They generally fight tribal forces and armies. He did not commit any crimes against the common people, and even helped a lot.

As a result, often the Soviet Union, Japan, and Britain thought that their territory had been lost, but the civil affairs officers went to check and found that the common people were fine, and the officials who were keeping to themselves were also in their positions. The nationality has not changed, and neither has the flag hoisted. Surprised the local government.

This can only be said that the Chinese army is suffocating.

Countries have also learned how to deal with the Chinese in the process. Arrange for the most honest and honest officials to go to counties and cities close to the Chinese border to do business with the Chinese. Then there is absolutely no problem.

In desperation. Bai Chongxi's excess energy was transferred to the navy, because now only the navy has a war. The Bering Strait froze, and the Marines forced themselves to the doorstep of the American military to feel in and out. Day by day, the Navy cleared the U.S. fleet on the West Coast. In fact, the main force of the US Navy has moved to the Atlantic. A naval fleet remaining in Alaska was frozen in the harbor and could not get out. But Canada's navy is not so knowledgeable.

"Whoever it is, the North Pacific is ours. Defeat all fleets and pirates. I really have nothing to do, escort the distant-water fishing fleet. ”

As a result, the North Pacific was in turmoil, and the newly formed South China Sea Fleet directly took over the entire South China Sea and rampaged through the waters of the Philippines and Malaysia. Originally, piracy was rife in this area, and many officials of the Kuomintang Navy were bought off by pirates, or simply raised soldiers privately, and most of these people became pirates.

The Kuomintang had no choice.

But now the CCP's navy sweeps the sea all day long. Even the mosquitoes have swept away. China's ocean-going fleet cruises the South China Sea, not only fishing, but also managing the seas by accompanying maritime surveillance and fishery administration vessels. However, these fleets did not operate between the Philippines and the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia like warships.

Then you are still the world of small fishing boats, and you are still the world of the Kuomintang.

The South China Sea has become the safest sea in the world, and trade between the Philippines and Malaysia and the mainland has become normal.

Cars, color televisions, telephones, and other products produced in mainland China are specially made for the Republic of China, and also for the Republic of China Telecommunications Bureau specially made satellite signal receiving system. On the mainland, there are mainly science and education programs and documentaries, as well as public welfare comprehensive entertainment programs. There are almost no movies and TV series, mainly young people do not have this demand.

However, the whole cultural atmosphere in the Kuomintang area is different, they emphasize personal enjoyment, talented and beautiful people, high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people can only use spiritual opium to confuse themselves when they can't get it, plus the ruling class also hopes to turn these into a gift, into a means to maintain their own rule, and is also willing to produce these spiritual opium. So movies and TV series are very popular.

The mainland is different, talented and beautiful people or something, everyone's education level is about the same, who can be higher than whom? What they pursue is a farther and broader world, and when they see talented and beautiful people in a small house, they will only laugh and laugh, and there is no envy. As for officials, the mainland has too much restriction on the rights of officials, and officials are just people who serve the people, and in many cases, officials are only effective for security zones. Outside the safe zone, with faith, character, cultivation and so on. Officials are not valid here.

Officials and factory workers, researchers in scientific research institutes have the same status, if not lower. A doctor and a specialist can be respected everywhere, but officials are not. In the central region, many security zones have shrunk to the point where they are no longer in shape. It's almost a nursery school.

In this case, whether it is a novel or a movie of the previous talented and beautiful people, it is not easy to use. Some novels and movies such as national culture and personal family opportunities are restricted from being broadcast by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, because it is now the stage of national integration, how can these things be allowed to appear on the screen.

Literati became increasingly scarce on the mainland, and there were more and more technical talents and scientists. Therefore, everyone is more willing to watch science and education, documentary, and public welfare programs. However, this is also a manifestation of the disappearance of the old culture and the fact that the new culture has not yet taken shape.

The mainland is now said to be a cultural desert by the literati of the Republic of China, which is not unreasonable, but there is no need to worry, some new poems, new novels, and new movies are also slowly emerging. It's just that it's not taken seriously because it's attenuated too much.

Of course, this does not affect the mainland's production of these equipment for the Republic of China. Because these devices not only bring back raw materials and fishery products for the mainland, but also popularize some of the mainland's ideological concepts, science and technology among the people. Science itself is the natural enemy of religion and old ideas. (To be continued......)
