Chapter 248: 6 Years of Compulsory Education (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Miscellaneous !! ）

Chen Feng of the Japanese did not know about this imperial meeting, of course, with Chen Feng's character, even if he knew the truth, he would not make a fuss. After all, the Japanese have always done this, fighting the national army first and then the local troops, and they were really uncomfortable by the Tubalu before they took the time to play and sweep, and there was not much new in this model at all. It's just that Seishiro Itagaki is a high-ranking officer who was transferred back from the front after all, and he knows more about the battle situation on the front line, so these veteran ministers will support him.

Now Chen Feng is most concerned about when his shipment will arrive, it is a cargo worth hundreds of millions of dollars, if it is intercepted by the Japanese halfway, it will be wronged. And now Chen Feng is most worried about the ship docking port, because the Japanese army has occupied the major ports along the coast, so Henry's freighter can only land in Guangzhou and Guangxi coastal ports, and as far as he knows, Guangzhou was lost in December this year.

Fortunately, Henry was still very neat, just when Chen Feng was a little anxious, Henry sent a telegram, the freighter had docked at the port of Guangzhou, and was now rushing to Chahar, in addition, he and the Rockefeller family and representatives of the US government had arrived in Wuhan, and would arrive in Guisui by plane as soon as tomorrow afternoon.

This is undoubtedly good news, the most important thing for the 40th Army now is not to fight, the little devil has been mobilized for two wars, and now the total strength of the army and navy has exceeded 1.2 million, and the more than 300,000 regular troops under his command alone cannot eliminate so many elite Japanese troops. So the most important thing now is development. To develop the economy, especially heavy industry, and at the same time to develop the military, only with strong economic support and strong military support can we achieve a long-term and final victory.

No matter whether it is a war in that era, it is all about fighting for economy, science and technology, and comprehensive national strength, and this principle can be applied everywhere. The reason why Japan dares to invade China in such a brazen way is not because Japan's economy is stronger than China's, Japan's industrial production capacity is better than China's, and Japan's scientific and technological level surpasses China's by much. Of course, Japan's comprehensive national strength is stronger than China's, and this is an objective existence that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, what Chen Feng has to do next is to surpass Japan. From the economy to the military to the culture, it finally extended to science and technology, industrial production capacity, and comprehensive national strength. There is a strong mission system, and Chen Feng has this confidence. After all, the Japanese have only a small territory, and it is only 370,000 square kilometers.

Although he Chen is a certain person, he only has two provinces of Suicha. But the territory is a million square kilometers. That's more than three times that of the Japanese. Plus now he has penicillin and so many advanced weapons and equipment in hand. This is all something that makes the Western powers blush, and besides, this is the only one in the world that has no other semicolon, which is equivalent to stucking the throat of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries. Don't worry that they don't support themselves.

On 20 October, a 16-member US delegation finally arrived in Guisui, and in order to ensure their safety, Liu Nijia specially sent a fighter squadron to escort them.

As the host, Chen Feng also attached great importance to the arrival of the US delegation, and personally took a senior official from the Chahar Provincial Government, Yan Changxi, Claire and others to the airport to greet him.

The head of the U.S. delegation was somewhat surprised by Chen Feng. Morgan! When Mr. Morgan introduced himself very chicly, Chen Feng's head couldn't turn. Others don't know the details of this Mr. Morgan, how can he not know someone.

This John Morgan is also a member of the Morgan family, and he is also the father of Henry and Claire, the current patriarch of the Morgan family, and he has long heard that this John is very comfortable with US President Roosevelt, but he didn't expect Roosevelt to really send this one. It is important to know that the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family are now the only two major agents of penicillin in the United States, and if the US government succeeds in negotiations with Chen Feng, it will undoubtedly take money from the pockets of the two families. From a purely personal point of view, John definitely did not want this negotiation to succeed. And as the country's top decision-maker, it seems that Roosevelt should not have sent this wealthy man at the helm.

But whether it is John or someone else, as long as it is Chen Feng, the representative sent by the United States, he must be well entertained, which is the minimum etiquette, and nothing else.

After John and his party arrived in Guisui, they did not immediately start negotiations with Chen Feng, and they proposed to take a good turn in Chen Feng's territory. Once the two sides start formal negotiations, it means that the two sides have become business partners, and the Americans do not want their investments to be destroyed by the war at any time, and they must at least ensure that Chen Feng will not be destroyed by the Japanese at any time.

Chen Feng knew that the Americans are not in a hurry, and they cannot be in a hurry. If he is in a hurry, he will be on the passive side in the negotiation, so not only can he not be anxious now, but he is also more indifferent than before, so Chen Feng handed over John and his party to Yan Changxi and Claire to entertain, and sent another Sui Jinguang to follow, but he took a step back to do his business.

On the 21st, Chen Feng took Deng Xiaoping and Kang Ze, accompanied by Wang Qingya, to inspect the mission and education system of Jining Administrative Region. With Chen Feng's strong support, the Ministry of Propaganda and Education has become a relatively important system of the entire government department, overseeing the affairs of science, education, culture, and health in Suicha and the two provinces. In the past six months, 216 schools have been built in Chahar province alone, including 165 primary schools, 30 junior high schools, 11 senior high schools, 9 vocational and technical colleges, and 1 university.

In addition, under the planning of the Ministry of Mission, the 40th Group Army newspaper "Bright Sword" and the provincial newspaper "Chahar Daily" also began to be distributed in the Suicha area, and won the support of the common people and businessmen and soldiers in the Suicha area in a short period of time.

In addition to the outstanding achievements in education and publicity, the Ministry of Missions and Education has also achieved good results in medical and health care. With Chen Feng's support, the Ministry of Missions and Education established two medical colleges six months ago, and now more than 1,800 students are studying in these two schools. In addition, 12 hospitals and more than 120 health clinics have been established in the three administrative districts of Chahar Province, and the status of the entire Ministry of Propaganda and Education in the eyes of the people of the province is only a little worse than that of the army, far above the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Armed Forces.

As the leader of the mission department, Wang Qingya's changes during this period of time are indeed refreshing, and this girl used to be a small jasper, with a weak atmosphere. It's only been more than half a year, this girl has an extra kind of strong woman's posture, although she is not vigorous and resolute when she works, but it also convinces several deputies that she is the number one.

Chen Feng and others fully affirmed the achievements of the Ministry of Propaganda and Education during this period, especially the implementation of 6-year compulsory education, which made everyone see Chen Feng's bearing and determination. Speaking of this 7-year compulsory education, both Lao Jiang in Wuhan and Lao Mao in Yan'an are all impressed by it. On June 12, 1938, the Chahar Provincial Government issued a notice that from now on, Chahar Province will implement a six-year compulsory education system, that is, a 4+2 teaching plan for primary and secondary schools.

According to the regulations of the provincial government, all school-age children, regardless of their origins, have the right and obligation to receive education, and all children over the age of six must receive four years of free primary education and two years of lower secondary education free of charge from the government, regardless of family conditions. Those who have excellent academic performance and whose family conditions allow them can also enter upper secondary schools and universities for further education.

Regarding the implementation of 4+2 six-year compulsory education, Chen Feng made a decision after careful consideration, national independence is inseparable from mighty soldiers, but national self-improvement needs more knowledgeable and literate young people. Now there is no shortage of strong soldiers in Chahar, and what is most lacking now is people who are knowledgeable and educated. This is the case now, and it will be even more so in the future, it is not enough for the talent strategy to start from the baby, but also from the Republic of China, so Chen Feng will spare no effort to implement compulsory education.

However, there is still a difference between this compulsory education and the nine-year compulsory education in later generations, at least the time of obligation is different, and the compulsory education in later generations is nine years, which is a 6+3 model. Compulsory education in Chahar Province is a 4+2 model, and although the number of years of primary and junior high school is less than that of later generations, it is not at all a lot in terms of study time. Because in this era, there are no winter and summer vacations, there is no festival or that festival, there is only one day off a week, and the rest of the time is in class. Therefore, in terms of study time, it is not less than the next nine years, but even more.

After all, the Republic of China is different from the Republic, the Republic of China is politically stable at home and abroad, no matter how much people are dissatisfied and how much they complain about reality, at least they will not worry about dropping a bomb on their heads, let alone worrying that they may be killed at any time, their children and women have become disposable consumables for the invaders, so everyone has time to let their children enjoy as much happy time as possible.

But this era is different, time is the most luxurious consumer good, and even children do not have the right to enjoy more than nine years of time. In this era, learning is not only fun, but also a responsibility, so every minute and every second of them is accurately calculated by Chen Feng in all courses. Education is free, but it is the obligation of children to receive education, and the children who have completed learning knowledge must shoulder the future of the country and the nation, which is the hope of Chahar and the hope of China.
