Although Situ Nan doesn't like gangsters like clubs very much, he also talks a lot about hating them, and it is naturally best not to have a bad relationship with the North American Chinese community, and besides, the big guy in front of him is also a famous patriotic "big guy"!
"I heard that the last time the revolutionary party came to you for donations, your attitude was not good! That's Mr. Sun Yat-sen's envoy! Be polite to people. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"
In San Francisco, Situ Meiden heard that the revolutionary party member had come back and said that although Situ Nan had donated 10,000 US dollars, he lacked respect for Sun Yat-sen and the revolutionary party.
You must know that he himself actively participated in the revolution led by Sun, and An Liangtang has been contributing a lot of money and efforts behind Sun's back. As a Chinese, he should contribute to the country, so he believes that it is necessary to persuade young people like Situ Nan.
Why do we use persuasion instead of lessons? Originally, Situ Meiden wanted to "teach" Situ Nan, but after he came into contact, he found that the strength of this young man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere was no worse than his own, and it was even a little unfathomable. After chatting with Situ Nan, he found that Situ Nan was actually quite sensible, not as young and vigorous as he imagined, and not like that kind of indifferent and ruthless person.
"your lungs! It turned out to be for this! I didn't expect that the revolutionary party really didn't know what to do, picked up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scolded the mother! I would have known that I wouldn't give him money, and I would let you go back to sing down yourself after you got the money! Situ Nan secretly scolded in his heart that these people were unreliable.
In fact, Situ Nan also misunderstood others, people didn't say that he was so unbearable, but those revolutionary parties have always treated the Chinese as if they were ATMs, and most people who donate to the revolution have to do it even if they have a perfunctory attitude, but a guy like Situ Nan who doesn't have a good attitude makes people feel good and suffers a little blow, and they can't help but complain after going back, which is also normal.
To Situ Meiden, Situ Nan naturally had to be polite, "In fact, this matter is not that the younger generation does not know how to be patriotic and dedicate themselves to the nation, how can I say it?" Does Mr. Kizan want to hear the truth or lie? Situ Nan thought about it, and since they all came to the door, it was better to say that it was okay.
"How's the truth? What about lies? Situ Meiden asked curiously.
"The lie is naturally that the younger generation is concerned about the revolution, but they are just tight for a while, and their attitude may be a little bad, but they have a lot of admiration for Mr. Sun, like a surging river, endlessly・・・・・・・."
Situ Meiden was amused by Situ Nan's words, he himself is the chief scoop of An Liangtang, this kind of compliment usually listens to the little brother below, to put it bluntly, it is nonsense, big and empty, and has no substance.
"Stop blowing! Let's tell the truth! Situ Meiden urged.
"Honestly? It's hard to say. Situ Nan picked up the coffee and took a sip, so that the bitterness with the fragrance made people's hearts clear.
"I would like to ask my seniors three questions: First, my seniors are familiar with Mr. Sun, what do you think of Mr. Sun? Second, can Sun's revolutionary party succeed? Third, if not, where is the way out for millions of Chinese? I hope to give you advice! ”
Situ Nan stared at Situ Meiden, his eyes penetrated into Situ Meiden's heart like a sharp blade, for so many years, it was the first time he was looked at with such eyes, and he was still a young man in his early twenties.
After pondering for a while, Situ Meiden still said: "The first question, I have known Sun for many years, he is ambitious, tenacious, and indomitable. The second question is democracy, independence, and equality, which are the general trend of the world, and the revolution will eventually succeed one day. The third question is that the fate of overseas Chinese is closely related to the motherland, and without the support of a strong motherland, the status of overseas Chinese will still be low and they will still be ostracized. That's why I'm committed to the revolution and why I'm so committed to helping Mr. Sun. Situ Meiden sighed, he has a deep understanding of the inequality of the Chinese.
"That's right, I believe it's also the heartfelt words of my predecessors. But except for the third question, it was not the result I wanted. Want to hear what I think? Situ Nan nodded and leaned over.
"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Situ Meiden felt that it was a little interesting to talk to the young man in front of him.
"First of all, I think your evaluation of Sun is correct, but it is not comprehensive enough, and he has fatal flaws that have not yet been said. Sun has great ambitions, and perseverance is obvious to all, but if you want to achieve hegemony in Shenzhou, these are far from enough, Mr. Zhang Taiyan said that Sun Su has great ambitions, but there is no corresponding means, is there such a thing? ”
Without waiting for Situ Meiden to answer, Situ Nan continued: "Although the uprisings led by Sun have been defeated and fought repeatedly, they have been hasty uprisings every time, without careful planning and full preparation, so most of them end in failure.
It is impossible for a leader who is separated from the army to be recognized by the soldiers. Also, I heard that Sun had signed a secret agreement with Japan to hand over Northeast Manchuria and Hainan to Japan in exchange for Japan's support after the success of the revolution, right? There is no wind and no waves, and even if it is an expedient measure, it should not be traded on such a large territory.
Regardless of the results, there were already divisions within the revolution before the outbreak of the revolution, and the forces of the revolution were weakened considerably. So I don't think Sun has enough talent to pacify the warlords at home and maneuver among the great powers, although his ambition and will are impressive. ”
The evaluation of Sun is partly from the evaluation of Sun by many celebrities in Situ Nan's previous life, and partly from his own thinking, some places are not easy to study, but history ultimately judges heroes by success or failure, he believes that Situ Meiden should have a deeper understanding, after all, he has a deeper contact with Sun.
Seeing that Situ Meiden frowned and did not refute himself, Situ Nan continued: "The second question, the predecessors are right, national independence is the trend of the times, and the revolution will succeed one day, but it does not mean that it is the revolutionary party that succeeds.
As we all know, the alliance is a loose alliance, there are many factions in it, the components are complex, the local organizations are independent, Sun and other leaders are only nominal leaders, and the binding force on the members of the lower organizations has to be discussed.
When Song Jiaoren saw this, he reorganized the League into the Kuomintang, but unfortunately, with Soong's death, the Kuomintang returned to that loose situation. I heard that Sun set up a separate Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan, requiring every party member to be loyal to him, and there were also finger molds, Huang Xing, Li Liejun and other party elders expressed opposition, which shows that Sun's means of causing trouble are indeed perverse, and this is putting the cart before the horse.
Let's not talk about this first, but the Kuomintang currently has empty slogans, but it has no strength, especially no army, and it relies on those warlords for everything, or bribes the party bandits to start troubles.
Let's look at Sun's Three People's Principles! Nationalism, democracy, civil rights. It doesn't sound like all empty slogans, lacking concrete measures, especially feasible ones.
Take civil rights as an example, Sun shouted the issue of equal division of land rights, the state uses funds to buy land from landlords and distribute it to farmers, but where does the money come from, even if there is money, will the landlords be willing to sell the land? You must know that many members of the Kuomintang now come from landlord backgrounds, and Sun's ideas will not be recognized internally in the first place.
Besides, if there is no success in the revolution, where will the funds come from to implement the people's rights, and if there is no equal division of the land, will the peasants agree with the Three People's Principles? Without real interests for the peasants, the workers and other low-level people would not support the Kuomintang. So it's stuck in an endless loop.
In short, it seems to me that the current Kuomintang is a loose political alliance that lacks a well-organized political alliance, and the political ideas lack feasibility, do not have sufficient funds, do not have its own chassis, its own army, and have to deal with the interference of foreign powers, and the difficulties are self-evident, at least for the time being, I do not see any hope of success. So even if I donate 1 million or 10 million dollars to support them, it will be a non-embarrassing result. Our calamitous nation is destined to be in turmoil, but after all, the mainland is so big, so many people, no matter how strong and weak it is, with our 5,000-year-old cultural heritage, it will not perish after all. Without the support of the motherland, how will we face a bad luck? ”
It was the first time that Situ Nan confided his heart, his thoughts, his predictions, and his worries were all revealed in front of an elder.
Seriously, the Chinese are somewhat worried about the country and the people, so even if Situ Nan is currently an embarrassing identity, his mind is still a complete Chinese, witnessing the sinking of his own nation, everyone will not feel good, more or less will think about these problems.
Situ Meiden didn't expect Situ Nan to have such a deep understanding, he was immersed in Situ Nan's words for a while, in terms of life experience, maybe he was richer than Situ Nan, but on some issues, he didn't see the world as well as Situ Nan, after all, he was not like Situ Nan who was a traveler, and in his opinion, the history that had not yet had time to be carried out had already been concluded in Situ Nan's previous life.
Not only Stuart was thinking, but everyone present was pondering, they all felt the same way, and the living room fell into an oppressive silence.
"Nonsense! Mr. Sun will definitely lead our revolution to success! Suddenly, a young man from behind Situ Meiden broke the silence, only to see him clenching his fists and saying with a rough red face.
Seeing that the other party wanted to make trouble, Han Gang, who was beside Situ Nan, hurriedly stepped forward and stared at the other party with a wary expression.
"Who is this?" Situ Nanzheng asked, and at the same time, a majestic voice shouted: "Ah Yong, don't retreat yet!" You don't have to say anything here! ”
Situ Meiden arched his hand and said: "The old man has no way to discipline him, he is smiling!" ”
"Brother Ayong is also outspoken, and he can't talk about anything. Besides, I'm a family, maybe there's something wrong with that! Situ Nan shook his hand at Han Gang and told him to step back.
"The words of the virtuous nephew really make the old man cold! Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! The old man didn't read much, but until the virtuous nephew was a talented person, he wouldn't have been able to say that kind of reason. There are some truths that the old man has never thought about, and some old men don't agree with it, but in any case, the good nephew is a friend and the old man has made a deal. You won't dislike me, will you! Situ Meiden said magnificently, as if he listened to Situ Nan's words, and he didn't seem to have it, but a big man is a big man, and he won't be swayed by other people's words casually.
The two sides stopped arguing about this and moved on to other things. For example, Situ Nan was very curious, and Situ Meiden resolutely ran to the US ** ship to work as a cook at the age of 17, and came to the United States with a flutter. Situ Meiden is also curious about Situ Nan's family, and it is estimated that he also thinks he has something to do with Situ Nan.
However, Situ Nan himself is not too clear in this regard, but he knows that his hometown of the cheap Lao Tzu who has never met seems to be in the area of Jiangmen, Guangdong, Jiangmen is a hometown of overseas Chinese, and a large number of Chinese people flew over to Nanyang during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and Lao Situ is also one of them, but his encounter is bizarre, he was abducted by pirates to become a pirate, and in the end he did not become a member of those Chinese workers who were full of bones.
Situ Nan told what he knew, maybe the fate of the Chinese workers who went abroad in the past few decades was even more unbearable, Situ Meiden listened to it and felt related, their generation has experienced the same tragic situation.
"I'm also from Jiangmen, my hometown is over there in Enping, if you don't mind, call me Uncle Sheng!" Situ Meiden said with emotion, looking at Situ Nan with some expectation. Although I am not sure if Situ Nan has a relationship with him, a little fellow can't leave, and Situ Meiden values Situ Nan more and more as a young man.
"Okay, then I'll call you uncle." Situ Nan didn't refuse, no matter in terms of age or fellow villagers, but also in terms of the patriotism of this man's fist, Situ Nan should call him uncle.
"Did the virtuous nephew pick up the words?" Situ Meiden entered the role very quickly and cared about Situ Nan's name.
"My father died early, and he never expressed his words." Situ Nan said. This aspect seems to be something he has never paid much attention to, and it seems that even if his pirate's cheap old bean is not by him (naturally referring to the predecessor of this body), it is estimated that he will not be able to get any good words, at most take a pair of dominoes to take an axe, a whiteboard and the like, of course, it may also be a very awesome Shuangtian Supreme!
"Then uncle will help you get one, Zi Deyi, how about it?" Situ Meiden stroked his beard and said. Sweat!
Why do these people always like to give other people nicknames? To be honest, Situ Nan is also indispensable, but the elder doesn't dare to resign, Deyi, it doesn't seem to be unpleasant, so I will reluctantly accept it!
Well, in the past, Situ Nan Lao felt that foreigner names were too long, in fact, Chinese are not bad, if the name is added with a character or something, how can it have more than ten words, right? ? It's better to say, Situ Nan, the word Deyi, the number ** II, not only has ten words, but also took three sentences to say it clearly. (The author of this paragraph writes that it is boring, nonsense, just forget it after reading it.) )
During his three-day stay in Los Angeles, Stuart warmly welcomed Szeto and his entourage and led them to visit some of his factories.
Look at the tall chimneys, the roaring machines, the busy workers, and the scarlet hot iron flowing out and cooling into pieces of steel.
Situ Meiden felt that the trip was worthwhile, modern industry contains huge power, and it has to be amazing! There is a saying that the development of productive forces is the driving force behind the progress of human civilization! It is true that the confidence of the great powers comes from their industrial strength, and steel is the backbone of industry.
"When there will be a batch of such steel plants in our motherland, we will stand up." Situ Meiden sighed.
Situ Nan smiled and didn't say anything, the United States is an industrial paradise, as long as you have money, you can invest in almost any industry, and of course you may lose money. If there is no good day and no life in a war-torn country like China, it is impossible to build such a heavy industry.
With the financial support of Situ Nan, it is possible for the steel plant to increase its annual output from 100,000 tons to 1 million tons! This is still the expected figure after completion, and it will take two or three years to achieve that kind of production, and it is far from that much. This is not a one-time achievement, but the result of a large amount of money on the original basis, absorbing a lot of technical talents who have fled from Europe.
In fact, Situ Nan's steel (pig iron) production is also well-known in the west, and it cannot be compared with the steel consortium giants in the east.
At the urging of James, the manager of the steel plant, Situ Nan spent tens of millions of dollars into the steel plant. Sometimes Situ Nan saw himself smashing a lot of dollars, if it weren't for the fact that the scale of the factory was getting bigger and bigger, and the output was slowly rising, his heart would really drip blood, this is a sucking beast.
What Situ Nan didn't know was that by the time this steel mill with an annual output of more than one million tons was completed, the world war had ended, and the world's economy had fallen into depression. Therefore, the traverser is not omnipotent, and there are always omissions in people. This is an afterword, press not table.
Situ Nan hopes that Situ Meiden and An Liangtang behind him can invest in industry, and now that the US economy is very prosperous, the small amount of money invested will soon be able to pay off.
Situ Meiden knew that this was Situ Nan's kindness, and it was related to so many mouths to feed behind him, so he didn't postpone it, and some of the funds came out and handed over to Situ Nan to invest, and most of them were invested by Situ Nan into the light industry with immediate results. Societies such as Anliangtang have a fast cash turnover, and it is impossible to invest in large-scale manufacturing fields such as steel, which are slow to produce results.
The only thing that made Situ Nan not want to get too close to the community was that many Chinese associations were engaged in opium trafficking, but Situ Nan was an outsider and couldn't say anything. In fact, what if on the mainland, opium or hard currency? Many warlords paid their soldiers opium. From the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China, opium has been permeating the humiliating history of China, a troubled country.
One of the things Situ Nan often thinks about is, I can't change history, can't I change you? A certain kind of Cheng dù is venting his complaints, but if he finds out that someone is smoking a lot of cigarettes in Situ Nan's company, he will be fired immediately!
In the end, Situ Meiden encouraged Situ Nanduo to run around with domestic relations, which meant that Situ Nan also understood, didn't he just want to let himself support the revolutionary party? He couldn't say it clearly, because Situ Nan already had his own opinion.
Is there something to be gained or is there no end to this debate? Situ Nan knew that his uncle might be a little touched by his words, but it was only a little touched, he might let go of his persistence or ideals so easily!
Somebody has to do something! Even if some things don't work out, some people still don't hesitate! I don't know if it's stupid or stupid?
Situ Nan saw Situ Meideng's tall figure, turned around and got into the carriage, and then disappeared・・・・・・
Although it is not the kind of tragedy of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone", Situ Nan is still moved by this man's pure heart.
"Am I too sensible?" Situ Nan asked himself? Sometimes it's not a happy thing to be too sober, and he is not the kind of hero who "goes to me despite thousands of people" after all.
