Chapter 168: The Wind Blows the Red Flag and the Earth Turns Twenty-four
γ168γThe Red Flag of the Wind Blows the Earth (24)
That night, Yao Fan hosted a banquet for Meris and Marx, and Yao Fan could not come up with any exquisite state banquet dishes, but chicken soup and pork chops were always available.
"I hope you like Chinese food." Yao Fan said with a smile in Chinese, so that the other subordinates at the table could understand.
The translator truthfully conveyed Yao Fan's words to Marx.
"Great! Great! Marx did not tell a lie, he ate two pieces of braised pork chops, and a chicken leg, a large bowl of chicken soup, and ate a "Chinese bread" - steamed buns with great interest, dipped in the soup of braised pork chops, and the old horse ate it with sauce on his beard.
"I said to the comrades that the core force leading our cause is Marxism, and it is Marxism that guides our thinking. Without a party armed with Marxist revolutionary theory and style, it is impossible to lead the broad masses of the people to victory over imperialism and its lackeys. β
The translator was Mei Cunzhang, a personal translator of Meris, and Yao Fan had been trying to influence him as much as possible, giving him a lot of books. But Mei Cunzhang has a high salary of 8o taels of silver a month from the United States, and he also has some meager bonus shares in the United States Firm, so he is not willing to join Yao Fan's high-risk team. However, he is no stranger to these common revolutionary words in the books given to him by Yao Fan, and the translation is very accurate.
"I wonder what are your revolutionary goals? What's claimed? What is your government structure? What do you think of the Manifesto? β
"For the sake of victory, only victory is the fundamental guarantee of the people's political power. Without armed struggle, there was no way out for the Chinese revolution. In a country like China, where the proportion of the working class is extremely weak, only victory can establish a firm faith, and victory must come from armed struggle, and strikes have no effect in China. β
"Without the leadership of the working class, how can you lead a group of peasants into a revolution?"
"On this issue, I have written an article "Why China's Red Regime Can Survive", and I hope to be able to translate it to you in person tonight, and at the same time get your enlightenment." Yao Fan was ashamed to steal one of the most important Xiongwen in the history of Taizu as his own.
On winter nights, the cold wind howls outside, and fine and dense snowflakes begin to fall.
Yao Fan sat cross-legged on the hot kang and gave Marx a detailed introduction to the progress of the Shandong Commune so far, and introduced the ideas of Lenin and Taizu to Marx one by one.
The room was lit with candles, and the six giant candles made of beeswax were the thickness of their arms, burning gently and evenly. He Shicheng held a camera in his hand and took photos of Yao Fan and Marx from time to time; according to Yao Fan's request, the more such group photos the better, and this is also the best evidence that China will inherit the orthodox bloodline of the Communist International and Marxism in the future.
Because the actual situation is very different from that of Taizu, Yao Fan's article on Taizu has changed very drastically, but who is Marx? He immediately understood Yao Fan's thoughts.
"I understand your thinking about the establishment of base areas by armed force, the armed defense of base areas, and the armed seizure of national power, and this idea of seizing state power by armed struggle is indeed more practical than using workers' strikes to seize power in the Qing country."
"Mr. Max, I would like to ask you to write a preface to my Theory of Practice and Theory of Contradiction." Yao Fan took out two pamphlets even more shamelessly.
"Comrade Yao Fan, you can call me Comrade Marx, now please translate for me."
Yao Fan began translating two articles that he had tampered with based on the current state of history.
Marx listened attentively, and the light of the candle flame in his blazing eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Do it all over again! I wish he had been written down! Marx suddenly demanded.
Yao Fan was overjoyed, and quickly ordered He Shicheng to take paper and pen, when He Shicheng went to find paper and pen, Yao Fan took out two dictionaries and the German version of the Chinese grammar manual, which Yao Peng hired someone to delete and verify the Chinese-German and Chinese-English dictionaries and grammar suitable for 1875, Yao Fan said: "This is our dictionary and grammar compiled by the Chinese, I hope you like this gift." β
Marx was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Great! You've made dictionaries and grammar! The Chinese are amazing! This is a great cultural initiative! This is so important for the cultural exchange between China and the West! β
Throughout the night, Yao Fan constantly explained to Marx the current situation in China, the class analysis of the countryside, the idea of the countryside encircling the city, and the idea of changing the rural soil into a qiΔ work fulcrum. Marx discussed with Yao Fansheng from time to time, and was impressed by Yao Fan's erudition again and again, and he really couldn't believe that such a young man actually had a very deep understanding and even unique views on almost all kinds of science.
"Comrade Yao Fan, it's not so much that you are my student, but that you are my friend! I am willing to be your comrade-in-arms and unconditionally support your revolution! I think that your revolution is not so much an attempt by the proletariat to establish political power in an uncivilized agricultural country as a heavy leap and practice in the theory of proletarian revolution! I look forward to his success! β
In the morning of the rooster crowing, Marx made the most important assessment of his life.
"Comrade Marx!" Yao Fan excitedly stretched out his hands and held each other's warm hands tightly.
Over the next few days, Lao Ma was fascinated by the military training of the Shandong Commune, asking questions like a child, and he also learned the Internationale, which was composed by the Frenchman Diguette in 1888, and sang it like a child every day.
He collected all kinds of written materials, buried them in dictionaries and Chinese books day by day, used the fountain pen provided by Yao Fan to consume a lot of ink, and the edited socialist classics that Yao Fan brought from the future were constantly translated into Chinese. And his way to spend time is to look at his own works translated and published by Yao Fan against the original texts, and his evaluation of these Chinese books is "perfect translation"!
Looking at Lao Ma's enthusiasm for work and language genius, Yao Fan was amazed that there were people in the world who could learn Chinese and translate by themselves with grammar books and dictionaries! This kind of perseverance and IQ is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Yao Fan attaches great importance to Lao Ma's physical condition, and specially stipulates that Marx's diet should be four dishes and one soup, eat a separate small stove, and arrange guards to accompany him for a walk every day. And Lao Ma saw the walk as an opportunity to learn Chinese, but unfortunately the guards were all from Shandong, and Lao Ma had already been taken into the ditch a few weeks later, and his mouth full of Shandong accent could no longer be changed.
After gaining Marx's trust and support, Yao Fan proposed to Marx that he hoped that Marx would bring his family to China, and that the whole family would live in Qingdao and guide the Chinese revolution without worrying about food and clothing. Yao Fan also hoped that the First International would send engineers and skilled workers with strong faith to help Yao Fan build factories in the near future.
There is no doubt about the importance of Yao Fan's request, Marx agreed to all of them after careful consideration, and supported a socialist regime that could succeed, and after listening to Yao Fan's explanation of his military plan, Marx felt that once Yao Fan was able to take the Shandong Peninsula, it would not be impossible for the whole family to move to China.
As for his own global activities based in Shandong, it is better than hiding in London while starving and freezing while directing the European workers' movement and fighting against the increasingly fierce revisionism. Moreover, Yao Fan assured him that the Shandong Commune would not only make its own revolution in the future, but also support part of the funds of the First International every month.
Yao Fan is well aware of the importance of funds for the ** organization, and unlike the bourgeois parties, any ** organization without political power is all poor, and it is difficult to move an inch in society without a poor egg organization! The former Soviet Union was able to guide the world's ** movements and national ** organizations, relying on a steady stream of funding, which is the advantage of a ** that has established a regime.
Yao Fan knows very well that once the ** organizations of various countries have funds, their role is absolutely unimaginably powerful, whether it is intelligence or science and technology, they can generously provide it to the Comintern, and the role they play is simply equivalent to countless guerrillas behind enemy lines and a global spy network! Historically, relying on financial support to various countries**, the intelligence of the Soviets was simply pervasive, and they also benefited a lot in science and technology.
Yao Fan's internationalist spirit, of course, would not reveal any of his own tone to Marx, and before it was capable of building the country and ruling the country, the Shandong Commune really had no capital to show off to the fraternal parties of the First International.
Yao Fan understands that what he has to do at present is to invest, and as for the harvest, at least until he becomes the ruling party, or even until Marx dies.
It's a long-term investment that pays off handsomely, and Yao hopes it will win him the world. rg
