Chapter Errors/Click here to report

It's almost midnight, and the light is still on in a study in a house in the Manhattan neighborhood.

Su Zining stretched out his arm and tensed his body to release the soreness of his body after sitting for a long time. The few letters in front of him were already full of words, and it seemed that it was not enough, so Su Zining turned a new page.

A cup of coffee was quietly handed to the table, Su Zining was stunned, and slowly turned around, only to see Yuan Xinyi looking at what he had written.

"Uh, why don't you go home and rest?" Su Zining put down his pen and picked up his coffee. The only thing he bought for himself on his trip to Europe was probably a set of coffee grinding equipment and a large bag of roasted coffee beans worth 100 Spanish silver dollars.

"What, you're glad I'm here watching? Then you keep boiling, I'm leaving! Yuan Xinyi frowned, and was about to turn around in anger.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the other party. Su Zining stood up with a smile and hugged the other party to his side: "I remember to write, I thought you would go back by yourself after dinner." ”

"Cut! After a few months away, your house is damp with mushrooms, and it takes you a few hours just to clean up, which is no easier than writing a report! Yuan Xinyi symbolically twisted her body slightly, and then stopped moving, her cheeks flushed.

"Hehe, isn't that what about your own home?" Su Zining pulled the other party to sit at the desk and picked up the pen.

Yuan Xinyi was stunned again, and then looked indignant: "It's all your fault, I have to say that we will cook dinner together, and I'm still helping you clean up after eating, so that I forgot about my own home!" ”

Su Zining was happy, and didn't look up, while quickly brushing on the paper, he pointed downstairs with his other hand: "Then you can sleep in my room, anyway, no one has lived in it for a few months, and the mattress and quilt covers are all new, so I will sleep in the study." ”

"Oh......" Yuan Xinyi didn't disturb the other party's train of thought, but just responded softly.

Secretly looking at the attentive appearance of the young man around him, Yuan Xinyi suddenly felt that he was a little too involved, as if he was still in a small hotel in a city in Europe, waiting for the other party's next instruction in silence.

He's a little different from before he left...... It seems that he is more involved in these things than before, is it that once a man finds his career direction, he is destined to ignore certain people or things around him? Thinking about the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship between each other who have gotten along with each other day and night in recent months, Yuan Xinyi actually felt a little lonely in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, when Su Zining came back to his senses for the last time from thinking, the time had already gone to two o'clock in the morning, and the female translator next to her had fallen asleep on the table.

With a slight wry smile, he had to gently pick up the other party and walk towards the upstairs bedroom. After a while, he hugged a pillow and returned to the study.

Su Zining's report on the semi-annual trip to Europe was held in the conference room of the community committee. Because of the matter of the legislation for the founding of the country, there were some disputes at each meeting for a period of time, but this time the situation was different, and all the committee members attending the meeting listened very carefully from beginning to end.

Harvest and other content, almost every item made everyone smile, especially the various behaviors of the Portuguese aristocratic restoration forces in order to win over the "United States" caused everyone's joy. And the current unfortunate state of the Netherlands and other countries near the Baltic Sea makes everyone see a good opportunity to make other people's national hardships.

“…… We underestimate the present state of affairs in Europe, which, although at the dawn of the Enlightenment, is only an objective stage in the development of history, and whose thirst for knowledge is extremely strong, and their thirst for anything new and resourceful is more urgent than we think. ”

Su Zining turned a new page, but did not continue, but took a sip of the water glass, and waited for the people present to ask questions.

"Su Zining, what does this have to do with us?" Dong Jiunan listened to so many descriptions of big concepts about Europe, and he didn't understand it, "Europe is in a mess now, and we just want to get rich." ”

"It's a big deal, because it's about how we are going to face Europe now and in the future, and what kind of long-term policy we should take." Su Zining smiled and took out a black bump from his arms, which looked like a kind of pocket watch.

"You can see that you can see that you bought it from a German watchmaker who was a refugee in Rotterdam, the Netherlands." Su Zining pushed the pocket watch with a black metal shell that looked still rough in front of Liu Lao on the opposite side, "From the perspective of the manufacturing process, it should represent the more advanced manual technology in Europe now, and even some of the process accuracy will not be worse than our modern technology." ”

An old European pocket watch was passed around like this, and almost everyone shook their heads slightly when they saw it.

"Maybe people still think this is too backward, I think too. The European nobles were very surprised when they saw the modern pocket watch given by Yan Xiaosong, and they quickly judged our strength. Su Zining's expression at this time was stern, "This shows that they know very well where the symbol of a country's strength is, and they are very sober about advanced judgment and cognitive awareness of technology." ”

"You mean that the Europeans will copy all kinds of industrial products that we will export to Europe in the future, and even imitate our processing technology?" Jiang Zhaolong made an exaggerated expression, and then laughed.

Several of the young committee members present were almost the same demeanor as Jiang Zhaolong.

What Su Zining means is that after the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, Europeans have the consciousness and strong will to develop this technology, and they may not be able to reach our technological level for a long time, but it does not prevent them from looking for opportunities for technological progress from certain angles. In other words, the export of our goods will accelerate the process of civilization and foreign colonization of the whole of Europe. ”

Lin Youde, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry, explained Su Zining's words sharply. As soon as these words came out, all the committee members present were surprised.

"Well, the butterfly effect is inevitable, so we can't expect Europeans to continue hundreds of years of ignorance to suck our blood. But we have to find a way to slow down the pace of progress, even to contain it artificially! After Su Zining finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, and the envelope was a patterned Western letter, "This is a letter from the Federation of Governors of the Republic of the Netherlands to the 'US Congress', and they want to start ocean trade directly with us." Spain and Portugal actually share these wishes. ”

"Dream and let them see our bottom line." Shi Yige, the person in charge of the shipyard, frowned, obviously not considering such an international trade exchange caused by some people's coercion.

"Hehe, but we can't stop them from having these thoughts, or even trying to act. Spain aside, for now, to the north, Canada's Quebec region has been run by France for more than a decade, and to the south, Virginia, the English are not slow. Su Zining shook his head helplessly, "So, we have to use some ways to achieve our goal." ”

"Xiao Su, you know more about the current situation in Europe, if you have any ideas, you can put them forward directly, and everyone will refer to them together." Qi Jianjun hurriedly raised his voice, and several elderly committee members around him nodded slightly.

"First, to find the right opportunity to intervene in the Thirty Years' War in Europe, especially against several countries in history that have benefited from this war; Second, learn the methods of those developed countries in Europe and the United States in later generations! to make the whole of Europe our raw material suppliers, primary labor factories and commodity markets, thereby delaying or even blocking their exploration of technological advances in certain industries; Third, misleading technological development, or stifling the upcoming projects of technological progress in Europe in the coming decades in advance, allowing them to get into certain technological development dead ends, consuming their time and financial resources; Fourth, it is the right time to resolutely defeat or stop European colonization of North America. Of course, these are the directions that I personally came up with from a macro perspective, and how they are specific needs to be evaluated by more professional people. ”

"Well, this information sounds far away from us, but it is really important, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lin, both of you are professionals from the Ministry of Industry, you should sort out the development ideas of European industrial exports in the future, and take Su Zining's opinions into account. As for intervening in the Thirty Years' War in Europe, we do not have the capacity to do so at the moment, but it should be included in our future development plans as a long-term policy. Let's vote on specific policies after they're announced. ”

Chairman Liu Lao patted the table lightly, which was considered to be the end of the topic.

"In addition, I hope that the committee will establish a European intelligence gathering unit as soon as possible, this is more important than anything else!" Su Zining suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added, "And to delineate some specific scopes, political affairs, military operations, and scientific and technological talents must enter the scope of intelligence collection, and our historical knowledge will eventually be missed, and even because of the butterfly effect, there may be situations that we can't predict, even if the efficiency is low, we have to expand it in advance." ”

"Well, this can be done first, go back and organize it and hold a special meeting to discuss the establishment of this intelligence department and see what kind of manpower and material preparation is needed." Liu Lao's face was full of red light, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the results of today's hearing on Su Zining's debriefing report.

"Finally, I have something I want to tell you, that is, about Yan Xiaosong......

After Su Zining finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and then looked around at all the committee members present with a strange expression, and when his eyes met Qi Jianjun, Su Zining showed that common bitter face again.

"Well, Yan Xiaosong, Mi Gu and Shi Wenbo didn't come back with you this time, did you arrange for them to stay in Europe?" Qi Jianjun looked at this very familiar old subordinate and said everyone's unanimous opinion.

"Mi Gu and Shi Wenbo don't want to come back for the time being, Yan Xiaosong ...... He went to the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, Su Zining has changed from the previous indifferent confidence to a nervous expression in helplessness.

Like cold water poured into hot oil, the expressions of everyone in the entire conference room changed drastically, and even a few young committee members almost stood up.

Okay, Yan Xiaosong, this time we are in a group, you can run if you want to, and I have to wipe my ass...... Seeing that everyone looked strange and uneasy like a plague, Su Zining had no choice but to sit down obediently, took out a few other pages from his pocket that had not been shown before, and prepared to be interrogated by everyone.

At this time, thousands of miles away in the Indian Ocean, the Portuguese ocean-going fleet of 18 armed sailing ships had just left the port of Goa, a Portuguese colony in India, preparing to bypass the Indian subcontinent in South Asia for Malacca.
