Xiangshan, heavy snow has fallen, or like goose feathers or frost, a white world, covered in silver.

When other external factors such as military and people's livelihood are not considered, Emperor Liu likes snow very much, and he also likes rain and wind. It's a pleasure to lie on a couch with a good book in your hand and listen to the sound of the rain outside or the whistling of the wind.

Now he listened to the creaking sound of the heavy snow outside, holding the "Sino-British Friendship Treaty" that had just been sent by the cabinet in his hand, and reading it carefully. The face is full of smiles, too!

This is the end of Nepal, and the British will also withdraw from the Ottoman war, and by the year 1912, peace will return to the world.

At this time, the kingdom of Nepal was already very peaceful, and on the distant Ottoman battlefield, the Austro-Hungarian army and the Italian navy had not been able to make a breakthrough after all, the 400,000 Austro-Hungarian troops had been working for a long time on the Macedonian-Negoro line in Menegro, and the Italian navy could not break through the Dardanelles.

The Ottoman Empire had China behind its back, and unless it was engaged in a complete war, it would not be able to push the Ottomans to the end of the mountain.

The meeting between China and Britain in Darjeeling laid the most solid foundation for the end of the war, and the next step will be the Istanbul talks where China, Britain, Italy, Austria and Austria will gather.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside, so don't go out today."

"Hehe, my body is still strong enough. When the snow is falling, it is more delicious to go to see the snow scene of Xiangshan. ”

This is the life of Emperor Liu in Xiangshan. It's comfortable, but it's really boring after a long time.

Next year, the main body of the Old Summer Palace will come to an end. Liu Xian made a wish and left Beijing. Go up to the place. Then he hid and stayed up until the situation became clear and the flames of war ignited.

This heavy snowfall that stained the entire Xiangshan also covered the entire North China, and this is the first snow in the north after the beginning of winter this year!

……

The winter in the north is cold and snowy, but Myanmar is still as warm as summer.

People here don't need thick clothes at all, and the climate is between 25 and 30 degrees, which would be very pleasant if it weren't for the humidity of the air.

The tenth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is in the middle of November of the Western calendar in Myanmar. The wetness has not yet faded after the end of the rainy season, and this is the time when Myanmar has the greatest variety of tropical fruits.

Nanping, formerly the second largest city in the Indian state of Assam, is Aizawl. Captured by the Chinese National Defense Forces in the war, although China withdrew from Bangladesh, China will not spit out this hilly plain area to the east of Bangladesh.

If you want to spit it out to the British, the border between Burma and Bangladesh is too narrow and mostly hilly.

The territory of Nanping, together with the state of Tripura further south, has an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers that has been annexed by China to Myanmar. It became a new district in the province of Lower Burma. Most of the people here are Bengali, and if you trace the race, the aborigines of the state are still. The skin of the inhabitants is generally a little whiter than that of the lower class in India.

The population is small, but together there are six or seven hundred thousand. But the land is fertile. The plain area accounts for about 45%, and agriculture is dominated by rice, corn, potatoes, oilseeds, cotton, peanuts, etc., and fishing. Hunting and forestry are also important.

The religion here is rather bizarre. Bengalis have embraced Hinduism instead of Hinduism, and Indians have embraced Christ instead of Hinduism. But because of the limited population. They can't afford to wind and waves.

The Chinese National Defense Forces have a mechanized brigade and an airship brigade and a paratrooper brigade stationed on this land. He has a firm grip on the power of this new land.

The Chinese who have moved here have overtaken the local aborigines in more than ten years. The call for the establishment of local governments and counties is getting louder and louder. Almost all of these calls were made by immigrants, and the aborigines had very few rights.

-- No one will speak out for the rights of the aborigines, and it is the greatest pity for them to be able to oppress them without discrimination, as they did with the Nanyang natives, and gradually reduce their living space. Besides, I really can't stand it anymore, can I move to Bangladesh?

The strong people all over the world are such virtuous, and the Chinese are already very good.

Ren Damin, Zhang Tianhui, Zhou Ming, and Hong Yunsheng ran out of the camp, and it was raining lightly in the sky. Under the canopy of the platform, there were several comrades-in-arms waiting, and when they saw them coming, they squeezed each other and made room for them.

"Does it rain here in winter? Didn't you say it's the dry season? Zhang Tianhui has only been in Nanping for half a month, and this is the second rain he has encountered. Wiping the rain from his face, he complained.

"What is this! When the rainy season arrives in March of the following year, you will know what rain is. Thirty days a month, twenty-five or six days in the rain, twenty-four hours a day, more than ten hours in the rain, when there is no sun, wet and stuffy, get up in the morning and wipe the head of the bed with your hands, a layer of water vapor. That's called an uncomfortable one. "Zhou Ming is a veteran of Nanping, and he has been in Nanping for two years, and he has long been accustomed to such rain. Pulling on his shirt to prevent the wet clothes from sticking to the flesh, he kept shaking, trying to let the wet clothes be blown by the wind and dry quickly.

Ren Damin listened absentmindedly to the conversation between the two, turned his head and asked, "Is it raining badly?" ”

"It's not too big, it's just too long, and it's more annoying. The hardest thing to put in this place is the rainy season, every time I go out to exercise, the zipper is a muddy back. After washing the clothes and hanging them up, they won't dry for five or six days......" Zhou Ming looked back with an unbearable face.

"Will you stop training?" Zhang Tianhui was thinking about beautiful things again. Hong Yunsheng, who had not spoken, sneered and laughed, "Suspension of training? You're beautiful. The worse the weather, the more often you train. You'll know when the time comes ...... that taste. "His time in Nanping is a year longer than Zhou Ming's. He knew very well what kind of life the Nanping garrison lived in the rainy season.

Heaven is a knife, and the Wehrmacht still has to train when it is time to train. Although it won't really be high frequency. However, in the eyes of the military leadership, the harsh climate and environment are obviously the best helpers for tempering the spirit and perseverance of the troops.

Hong Yunsheng looked at Zhang Tianhui and Ren Damin's bitter faces. In the end, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the superiors won't really take us to death." Who can stand the rain every day. The troops have really fallen in large numbers, and they are still in trouble. In the rainy season, it is a combination of pulling and indoor training, relatively speaking, there are more indoor sports, or study, tactical subject training ......, and it is not so difficult. Each squadron is also equipped with several washing machines and dryers, you have seen washing you, the dryers are put away, isn't it the dry season? I don't need that. Overall, our life here is still very convenient. ”

Hong Yunsheng's family conditions are not good, his father guards his family's five acres and six points of land, does not go out, does not go out to work, Hong Yunsheng has nine brothers and sisters, and lives six, the family has a large population and a small income, he is the boss. After finishing elementary school, he was only thirteen years old and went to the city to work. When I was a child, I could eat a mouthful of meat for a few months, worked for six years, and lived a very hard life. No matter how hard and tired the troops were, he didn't complain.

Back then, he pulled bricks and carried cement on the construction site, and he couldn't earn the high salary of the army all day long. What's more, their mechanized brigade is a combat-ready mobile unit, and the troops stationed in Nanping have a combat allowance. The food of the troops is even more sumptuous, comparable to that of a hotel, and there is meat every day. Pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish. The people in the cooking class do it in a different way. Compared with the days before he became a soldier, Hong Yunsheng is now living a heavenly life.

At the beginning of the month, he was promoted to squad leader because of his hard training and excellent skills. As long as you continue to perform, and pass the cultural class, it is not impossible to go to military school in the future. The instructor also told him that a non-commissioned officer in the Wehrmacht already means that he is a professional soldier, and as long as he does not want to retire, he can still serve in the army for at least ten years, and it is easy to be promoted during this period.

Hong Yunsheng is already a sergeant, and then he is a non-commissioned officer or ensign, as long as he takes another step forward, it will be a new beginning for his life.

Putting on a military uniform with the rank of sergeant and looking in the mirror, Hong Yunsheng himself felt a lot more powerful.

With Hong Yunsheng's joining the army, the Hong family's life is slowly improving. In the first year, Hong Yunsheng still sent all his salary and allowances home, and in the second year, that is, last year, Hong Yunsheng began to keep some of them, but there were still very few. Because his second brother and third sister have graduated from high school, the second brother was also admitted to the normal school in the province, and the third sister found a clerical job in the county town, and she was also attending night school. These are not problems, the problem is that the second child does not have to spend money, and normal schools, like military cadets, are free of tuition, and there is a monthly subsidy for living expenses from the state. Hong Yunsheng, the eldest in the family, suddenly lightened the pressure on his shoulders.

By this year, he was promoted to squad leader, his salary rose a lot, and the job of the third sister in the family was changed from an ordinary clerk to an accountant, and the salary was much better.

Hong Yunsheng, who had some extra money in his pocket, also began to go around Nanping City when he was on vacation, no matter how much things were sold or how little they sold, he now had this leisurely mood. In that first year, he couldn't breathe under the pressure of life. I don't want to spend every penny, and I soak in the barracks during the holidays, and I don't take a step at the gate.

Today's holiday of their brigade is because China and Britain have reached a new friendship agreement, the security status of the Nanping garrison has been contacted, and the troops have begun to take turns to rest, and the first one fell to Hong Yunsheng and their brigade. Several people were in a detachment, and the atmosphere in the unit was tense for half a year, but they finally relaxed, and naturally they had to take a good breath and relax.

Through the rain curtain, a group of soldiers talked about each other's feelings, smiling. Influenced by them, five or six immigrants waiting for the train on the platform also joined in, and they discussed enthusiastically, and their words were full of longing for the future of Nanping.

Nanping is full of dense bamboo forests, and many rivers and streams cross each other, making it the largest bamboo-producing area in Northeast India. A visit to the bazaar in this place makes it easy to see the importance of bamboo in the local area. Not only are there fresh and delicious bamboo shoots, but in furniture stores, tables, chairs, baskets and even beds are made of bamboo.

However, the bamboo industry here was silent until the arrival of the Chinese, and in India, bamboo is called "wood for the poor", and the local bamboo industry is very low. This phenomenon was not until a large number of Chinese came here, and the wild bamboo sea in Nanping was a growing wealth for the Chinese.

Bamboo flooring, carbonized flooring, bamboo silk board, bamboo woven curtains, decorative boards, bamboo mats, mahjong mats, woven bamboo mats, bamboo furniture, panel furniture, bamboo rattan furniture, bamboo chopsticks, tea trays, tea ceremony utensils, bamboo decoration, bamboo packaging, greening bamboo seedlings, bamboo bonsai, ornamental bamboo, large hanging fans, dance fans, gift fans, bamboo high-grade paper ......

China's bamboo industry can get rid of the ten streets of Nanping locals, that is, Little Japan, and they are more likely to develop a bamboo economy than the inhabitants of the Southern Plains.

Of the nearly one million Chinese who have immigrated to Nanping, many have made a fortune, and the root cause is in this piece of bamboo forest and bamboo sea. For Chinese who are good at business, there is money everywhere, as long as they are willing to dig it.

As he spoke, a paint-white bus came out of the rain, slowly leaned onto the platform, and opened the front and rear doors.

"Up the front door, under the back door, up the front door, down the back door! When you get on the bus, you have to buy a ticket! A middle-aged woman sitting by the front door poked her head out, glanced at the platform, and shouted out her usual tone very smoothly.

For the soldiers and the immigrants, this is something that no conductor shouts knows. The conductor was also very conscious, and only shouted and sat firmly on the chair waiting to buy the ticket.

Chinese people are very convinced of soldiers, and this kind of people with a strong sense of honor cannot do anything to get on the bus without buying a ticket. It is impossible for the fare evader to get into the crowd and pretend to have gotten on the bus, allowing the conductor to shout back and forth hoarsely and silently.

The ticket is only two dimes, which is very cheap and cheap. You can sit directly to the bus station in the center of Nanping.

There were only three passengers in the carriage, all the soldiers on the platform came up, and there were two civilians, only a dozen people, and the whole carriage seemed a little empty. When the bus started, the whole carriage was soon filled with the sound of soldiers talking. These soldiers, who had just been detached from combat readiness, were full of interest in everything, and the roads, fields, or buildings outside were so vibrant in their eyes......
