Chapter 1032: Certain Things (4)

Yan Shao's room is a very Western-style room, which is a thing that has caused some people to criticize in China.

After all, since the Xinhai Revolution, there are people who are trying to find ways to pursue the so-called 'new culture', and at the same time, there are people who are pursuing the ancient traditions of China in the past―――――― which is the so-called sinicization.

After all, after the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China at that time was a lot of destruction in terms of traditional civilization. A four-library book, while collecting many books from all over the country at that time, I don't know how many books were destroyed.

The period during the Xinhai Revolution, which successfully overthrew the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, also happened to be the period when nationalism, or to be precise, Han ideology, flourished. Some people have come up with ways to recover the lost Han culture, or to show others that they are Han, some of them are the right way, but some of them are not...

At least Yan Shao never felt that wearing costumes could be regarded as a restoration of Han culture―――――― it could only be regarded as a farce, and it could only be regarded as a group of clowns who didn't know what to do again.

Therefore, Yan Shao has never been involved in these things, because in Yan Shao's view, what a civilization needs to do is not just to restore the tradition to regain the glory of the past. We should find ways to look forward and keep moving forward.

There are usually many ways to interpret this forward.

However, in Yan Shao's view, for a civilization, if he wants to keep advancing, he must abandon the dross of his own civilization, and constantly sublimate the good side of his civilization, and at the same time develop more advantages...

Therefore. Like those who shout and kill their own civilization, they almost feel that if they don't overthrow the entire civilization and start over. China is absolutely hopeless. Yan Shao has always been unaccustomed to it, after all, there was no country in Yan Shao's era. It was through guΓ² that he surrendered to another civilization in order to achieve victory.

None of the...

Korea? Its success stems from Park Chung-hee's dictatorship.

Japan, while succeeding, has also well-preserved its own culture. It can almost be said that Japan's own culture has been integrated with that of the West, making it one of the most advanced developed countries in later generations, while also preserving its own civilization.

Then there's Singapore, which is said to be one of the cleanest countries in the world, but it's itself an authoritarian state. The name of 'Li Jiapo' was not blown up.

Similarly, criminal penalties such as caning are well preserved in this country.

These countries mentioned above. Basically, they have retained their own culture while being well developed.

On the other hand, those countries that have comprehensively studied a certain civilization and abandoned their own civilization are basically more miserable.

Not to mention, those in Southeast Asia are basically caught in the war, and now they can only continue to find the culture they once had.

China also suffered a catastrophe because of those ten years. Of course, it is not all about attacking one's own culture, but it is self-evident that China's own ancient culture has been greatly damaged during this period.

In addition, there are those that are often used as metaphors. Already very pitiful India.

In fact, India is a country that has protected its own civilization very well, and the civilization of many, many years ago can still be seen in India in the 21st century.

For example, the caste system, for example, temple prostitutes. Anyway, there are a lot of them.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

But as mentioned earlier, the biggest problem in India is precisely the culture that has been preserved.

These so-called dregs of culture.

Indian civilization is not without its superior features, nor is it without its so-called bright spots. Just compared to the highlights. The darker areas are obviously more visible.

So, the problem arises.

In India in the XXI century. There is still a caste system, and a large number of girls are just born. Because his parents hated the relationship with girls, he was sent to the temple as a temple prostitute. People only need to pay a little money to enjoy their youthful flesh.

And as it has been said, when they are old and decrepit, India's red light districts are their home.

This is the true face of India, the world's largest democracy, in the 21st century.

Naturally, it is also because of this patriarchal relationship that the gender of men and women in India is very unbalanced. But what is really surprising is that the Indians themselves do not seem to attach much importance to this, or even do not care at all, they still have that patriarchal attitude, which is completely different from China's attitude―――――― in the past, China is naturally one of the most patriarchal countries, after all, men can pass on the lineage, but women, it is the daughter who marries out of the water.

But as the number of women became scarce, things changed dramatically.

For example, in China, patriarchy or something is something that almost no one will do anymore, at least in urban areas there are very few, and there may be some in the countryside, but as long as you look at the things you receive when you marry a daughter in those places, you can see a lot of things...

It can be said that the whole shape is changing dramatically, and in this case, India is still the same.

And India has also become a very famous rape country for one reason or another―――――― by the way, some Indians will blame this on Chinese fried noodles? said that it was because I ate too much fried noodles that I did such a thing.

Others believe that this happens because women shouldn't take the bus late at night.

Such bizarre remarks show that the Indian people are indeed very strange, and at the same time, they also prove that the status of women in India is at the bottom...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

All in all, it is precisely because of the experience of later generations that Yan Shao will not simply regain some of the past culture. Because that's pointless. It may even cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, there is a lot of dross and the like, which can be called trouble in itself.

Besides. Nowadays, there are already many troublesome things in Chinese culture, and Yan Shao naturally will not ask for trouble.

But on the other hand. It is also clear that simple Westernization will destroy a country even more, and Yan Shao adopts the way of constantly looking forward ―――――― pragmatism.

Throwing away all the things that are useless to the country, and at the same time constantly absorbing new things that are beneficial to the country, this is Yan Shao's approach, and it is precisely because of this practice that China can continue to move forward.

Although China is now practicing the so-called nationalism, whether it is Yan Shaoyi or the others below, it is actually very clear. There is no doctrine in China today, and some are only pragmatism.

However, there is no objection to this from the people below, after all, in the case of pragmatism, China's development today is also very smooth. In that case, what is there to dislike about them?

But on the other hand, it is precisely because of this pragmatism, coupled with Yan Shao's lack of interest in some ancient Chinese cultures such as calligraphy and painting, that in addition to some precious artworks in Yan Shao's home, Yan Shao himself can't understand at all. Most of the stuff is very Western.

For example, furniture, for example, some things that are usually used in the office, are basically Western-style.

In this regard, it is natural that some Hanists will be a little criticized, after all, as the president of China. The leader of this country, Yan Shao, did not take the lead in this regard. Helping them fight the 'Dictionary' guys together is really undeserved.

And on the other hand. Those who 'forget their ancestors' always want to abolish traditional Chinese culture and completely Westernize them. But it is also for this reason that Yan Shao has always been regarded as the object of the fight―――――― as the president of this country, Yan Shao has no preference for the traditional culture in China. Isn't this exactly very similar to them?

It's a pity that they all thought wrong, Yan Shao is completely different from them.

Yan Shao doesn't like traditional Chinese culture, but he is really not interested in ink painting or calligraphy. Yan Shao will use Western-style things, just because those things are more convenient and fast, that's all.

What's more, if it looks like a Western-style, is it really a Western-style?

At least many of the things in Yan Shao's room were invented by Chinese inventors―――――― of course, they were indeed foreigners in the original era, but in this era...

Perhaps because the political situation is stable, more people are willing to invest their energy and money in these things. Domestic invention patents are constantly emerging, so many scientific inventions are no longer invented by foreigners, but by Chinese people.

This is not surprising at all, after all, the Chinese people are not very stupid in the first place. The most fundamental reason for falling behind is the chaotic situation in China, and even if there are some people who want to become scientists, they can't calm down and research, let alone get research funds.

But in this day and age, this qiΔ“ is easy.

In particular, after giving a lot of subsidies to the industry, Yan Shao started a new business for Yushi Bank―――――― to lend loans for promising scientific research and inventions.

In this era, I'm afraid it's still a very new thing.

After all, very few people take out loans for scientific research and invention, after all, it is difficult to say whether this thing will be rewarded. Usually it's more often more about finding a boss related to this, and then slowly going to get something like that.

At the very least, those bosses are still willing to invest money, especially if it is in their own interest. Otherwise, the capitalists would never have invested anything in things that had no way to make money.

But Yan Shao is different, Yan Shao's money has been so much that it can't be spent at all, in this case, it is better to find a way to invest a considerable amount of money, so that the scientific research capacity of the whole country has been greatly improved.

Anyway, Yan Shao's money is too much to spend, isn't it?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, in order to be able to mention the level of domestic scientific research, let those who have some projects. But scientists who don't have the money to continue their research. Yan Shao asked Yushi Bank to launch a special project, which is to give sufficient financial support to these projects.

Of course. After the success of scientific research, Yan Shao will definitely share the benefits.

It should be clarified. One thing that needs to be guarded against is that it is very likely to cheat money with some scientific research projects that have no practical use at all, or even inventions that are completely impossible to realize.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Yushi Bank has also set up an expert group according to the relevant preventive measures, and the most important thing is to evaluate whether a project can be promising―――――― the most important thing is whether it can be successful, and as long as it is likely to succeed, the bank will give investment.

This is also what Yan Shao means, the most important thing is not how much money this thing can make. It's whether this thing will succeed?

As long as it can be successful, then it's fine!

After all, Yan Shao's money is enough, even if he makes less, it doesn't matter.

The most important thing is to give great support to domestic scientific research, in fact, China's foundation is still too thin after all. Although there are so-called masters such as Cai Yuanpei, they are basically literary. And literature obviously has no meaning for the strength of a country.

No, it can't be said that there is no meaning, but it should be said that there is no meaning at all.

After all, no matter how well the article is written, it is not as useful as a cannon on the battlefield.

In the original history, there were so many masters of Chinese culture in China, did they stop the Japanese invasion of China? No. In the end, they fought at the forefront of the battlefield and fought hard with the Japanese precisely the mud legs that they had always looked down on!

Why do later generations often say that China can no longer produce so-called 'masters'? Some people say that it is because of the system, but Yan Shao thinks it is because the times are different.

For example, during the Xinhai Revolution, there was not a single literate person among the 20 people in the country.

At that time, it was naturally easy to become a master. Because everyone is illiterate!

In this case, some people who are already very good will naturally be easy to rise to the top.

But it was different in later generations, and literacy has become the basics. And the diploma is also higher than the other. By the time Yan Shao arrived, generally speaking, he was basically at the level of graduating from high school. It's almost like an average.

In this case, you want to fool people with some ordinary things. It's not as easy as it was a hundred years ago.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, with the foundation of China in the past, no matter how Yan Shao opens, it is impossible to catch up with Europe and the United States in a short period of time. The only way is to give some help.

This is also an important reason for Yan Shao to let Yushi Bank start this project, anyway, Yan Shao is not short of money, since this is the case, it is better to simply spend the money on something meaningful, so that it is better for the country and the nation.

At the same time, after having an expert group, it can basically prevent the occurrence of scientific research funding fraud―――――― but the number of expert groups is definitely not too much. After all, without a certain level of scientific research, how can there be a way to stop scammers from coming to the door.

Therefore, in Yushi Bank, this kind of department with the power to give loans is basically only owned in a few large cities in the country. In other words, if a scientist wants to apply for funding, the only way is to go there.

As for whether those research projects can make money, Yan Shao really doesn't care very much.

However, it is precisely because of Yan Shao's measure that at least he is still very cute in the eyes of scientists, after all, there is nothing more lovely for scientists than someone who can give them money to conduct scientific research.

Of course, if you don't pay off the loan in the end, to be exact, the research has failed...

Ahem...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, although in the eyes of some, the style of Yan Shao's room is very Western. But only Yan Shao understands that this is actually the so-called modernization.

Western-style is something that came from the West, but I don't dare to say half of the things in this room, and one-third of them are actually invented by China itself.

In the same way, the so-called modernization is actually a kind of forward force.

And the future of humanity. Unless something like a nuclear war happens, it's almost impossible to go back to the past. In other words. As science has become more mainstream, this kind of thing is no longer simply divided into East or West.

Because of these things. Fundamentally speaking, they are all the crystallization of modern civilization, and since this is the case, there is naturally no need to distinguish one thing from another.

On the other hand, holding a ballpoint pen in his hand and looking at the content on the text, Yan Shao was slightly distracted.

Because he was thinking about a recent proposal by Sa Zhenbing―――――― find a way to destroy several battleships purchased from South America in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and then use the gap as an excuse to rebuild several of the latest super-dreadnoughts.

I have to say that this method is very bold. After all, Britain and the United States and other countries are not idiots.

If Yan Shao said that these warships were damaged because of an accident, and they actually believed it. Then their IQ is estimated to be the more worrying one.

However, if this is successful, the benefits are also very obvious.

First of all, the displacement of the battleships that Yan Shao purchased from South America back then, although it is not very large, it is definitely not very small.

If all three battleships were to be dismantled, at least two more super-dreadnoughts could be rebuilt.

The difference in combat effectiveness between ordinary dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts is definitely not just the difference between one.

The caliber of the main guns on both sides alone already seems to say a lot.

After all, the caliber of the main gun of the super dreadnought can be as low as 380mm. Far stronger than the caliber of the main guns of ordinary dreadnoughts. Moreover, the larger displacement also makes the protection of these super dreadnoughts more powerful, coupled with the maneuverability that is basically no different from that of dreadnoughts.

It is by no means impossible to say that one super-dreadnought can deal with three dreadnoughts at the same time.

On the ocean of this era. The ultra-dreadnought is even more of a formidable form of existence.

So, if you can exchange three old dreadnoughts for the birth of two super-dreadnoughts. It's definitely a good deal.

"It's just that this matter has to be carefully calculated," he said. Yan Shao frowned slightly. "Right now, both the UK and the US are abandoning their martial arts. It's just that the scale of their navy is very large, so this process of dismantling will definitely not end in the short term, and if we do this at this time, it will be easy to startle the snake, in case Britain and the United States react violently and stop the dismantling of the fleet, then it will not be a stone to be thrown at that time. ”

"After all, the current gap in naval strength between China and Britain and the United States can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and at this time, if China wants to catch up with the gap with Britain and the United States, the best way is to let them dismantle their own warships..."

"Many times, if you want to close the gap with a person, in addition to trying to catch up, it is also a way to make the other party lose a lot. Or maybe it's a very royal approach..."

"So we must not startle the snakes at the moment, and we must wait until they have almost dismantled them themselves. At that time, the gap between China and Britain and the United States will be narrowed to a very small point, and even if Britain and the United States regret it, we are almost at the same starting line. And with China's industry today, if the arms race really starts again, China may not lose, and there may even be some opportunities. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but think of the British standard of the two powers, if the arrogant British used this standard again when the arms race in their hearts was set off, China's opportunity might come.

After all, with the current finances of the British, it is really difficult to support this dilemma.

As for the Americans?

It is possible for Americans to support it, but American isolationism is becoming more and more severe―――――― you must know that isolationism in the United States is now so instigated, not only because of the United States itself, but also because Yan Shao has also made a lot of efforts in it.

In particular, after receiving Yan Shao's order, the Special Affairs Bureau tried its best to use the US media to stir up public opinion in this regard in the United States, so that the United States was extremely tired of war and other things.

In particular, not long ago, some newspapers under the control of the Secret Service Bureau gave detailed reports on the fate of some American troops during World War I. Some of the reports even had photos of U.S. troops killed, while others were in field hospitals. The tragic situation of the wounded soldiers of the American army.

Other than that, after the end of the war. The lives of these soldiers, and the fate of their destruction because of the war. And their grieving family members...

This qiΔ“ caused a great sensation in the United States, and it also brought the anti-war sentiment in the United States to its peak.

Therefore, Yan Shao believes that even if Yan Shao really treats them as fools at this time, war will never come. The only thing to worry about is the arms race.

Either way, at least one thing is certain, and that is that this is not the right time to do so.

So...

"Wait a little longer..."

Although six super-dreadnoughts can definitely make China one of the strongest naval countries in the world, but for China now. But that's not the most urgent thing...

Uh-huh, sorry 0-0 must be made up within two hours!
