The next day, Federica found Snow, who was still sulking in the room, and apologized to him sincerely.

"Sorry! Mr. Snow, I should not doubt Mr. Meng Ben. Federica said apologetically to Snow, "But I hope you can understand the concern, and when I stepped off the plane, I saw the chairman's hospitality to me." ”

"In fact, I also know the backwardness of Yunnan and the poverty of the people. I can't understand why, as the supreme governor here, he has so much wealth and is not willing to let this area develop......"

"When I was in Germany, I regarded Mr. Meng Ben as my idol. In fact, my brother and father admired him very much. I don't want to see my dreams shattered, and I don't want to see what was once such a proud warrior degenerate into a warlord who lives only for his own benefit. ”

Hearing Federica's words, Snow sighed deeply. Also in the room was Aban. Seeing that Aban had poured himself a cup of tea, he smiled and whispered to Federica.

"I understand your concern, but I don't think it makes sense." Aban looked at Federica and said softly, "If you want wealth, with his blueprints, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief can definitely accumulate more wealth than Carnegie!" Even, he may surpass Rockefeller! ”

After a pause, Aban looked at Federika and said softly: "If he pursues power, then he can send troops to the customs now." With the fighting power of the Wehrmacht, I am sure that no one will be able to stand in his way. ”

Speaking of this, Aban patted his head and continued: "But what I suspect is that he doesn't seem to have much interest in these at all. Even the government affairs of the entire three eastern provinces were handled by his teachers and some scholars. ”

"There are a lot of laws in the three eastern provinces, some of which are very restrictive for him, and these laws have already been passed. He himself is extremely committed to these laws. ”

Aban smiled and leaned back in his chair. Whispering to Federica, "Tell the truth. Many times I couldn't figure out what the commander-in-chief was thinking, but what was certain was what he was preparing. ”

"Perhaps...... He was preparing for war...... and after a long silence, Snow picked up Aban's words. The two of them have been in the three eastern provinces for a short time. The contacts were all officials at all levels in the three eastern provinces.

For the various actions of the three eastern provinces, they undoubtedly see it most clearly! Expansion of the army, combat readiness, expansion of production capacity and various R&D ...... Wait, after calculating it all the way, it is not difficult to find that Tu Qianjun is preparing for war!

And this preparation. It became even more evident after the Wehrmacht's Korean campaign! More than 200,000 people formed the Fifth Army Corps of the Wehrmacht, and the officers who had studied in the Wehrmacht University were incorporated into this unit in an effort to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!

The newly built automobile production line is not so much about the production of cars as the production of tanks! Most of the cars used by the private sector have been converted to alcohol and carbon fuel. And the oil that is extracted is not being sold.

There is no doubt that these supplies were stored for combat readiness. Farmers in the three eastern provinces maintain the habit of selling 50 percent of their grain to the governments of the three eastern provinces.

And these grains have never appeared on the market. After a large influx of people and development, the cultivated land area of the three eastern provinces has increased at an astonishing rate!

In 1931, the cultivated land in the three eastern provinces had reached 220 million mu! But a large part of it is occupied grassland land. After Tu Qianjun took power, he went through land cultivation by returning farmland and replacing it, and reclaiming wasteland.

At the same time, the three eastern provinces introduced tractor production lines. The resulting tractors are available for rent in each village, and special drivers are dispatched to assist in driving.

Agricultural colleges in the three eastern provinces have also experienced the optimization of improved varieties. And in various places, experimental fields have been built to test planting. At present, the new improved seeds have been distributed to farmers in villages and towns at all levels in the three eastern provinces. Now it has spread throughout the three eastern provinces.

In terms of agriculture, fortunately, the three eastern provinces have some resources, and Shen Zonghan, Rui Silou, Bu Kai, Mu Yier and others have been hired to teach and guide. Animal husbandry, animal husbandry, presiding over research work. It is Fang Zhongyou, an agronomist who studied in Japan.

At the same time, it has also formed a mutual aid college with Cornell University. Cornell University's College of Agriculture is the world's premier agricultural college. The first-class agronomists of the Republic of China, such as Shen Zonghan, Dong Shijin, Qian Tianhe, etc., were all graduates of Cornell University.

Shen Zonghan entered the College of Agriculture of Cornell University in 1924 to study genetics and breeding, and his doctoral dissertation was "The Heredity of Wheat Maturity and Its Relationship with Plant Length". Dong Shijin graduated from Cornell University in 1924 with a doctoral dissertation on "World Food Supply and Population". Qian Tianhe was engaged in sericulture research at Cornell University's College of Agriculture, and later became a professor of agriculture and head of the sericulture department at Jinling University.

In addition, Zou Bingwen, Guo Tanxian, Li Xianwen and other agricultural leaders are also graduates of Cornell University's College of Agriculture.

Of course, Cornell University is funding the three eastern provinces because of the good cooperative relationship between the three eastern provinces and the United States.

After several years, the cultivated land in the three eastern provinces, such as returning farmland to grassland and reclaiming new fields, has reached as much as 320 million mu! The annual output has also increased from more than 15 million tons in 1930 to more than 56 million tons now!

This has to be said to be a miracle, and this miracle is based on the optimization of improved seeds, more than 1,000 tractors and the independent supply of fertilizers. No one knows exactly how much grain is stored in the three eastern provinces, except for a few high-ranking officials in the three eastern provinces.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Federica, what I want to tell you is that Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben, who is undoubtedly the noblest person I have ever met, is undoubted in terms of personal morality alone!" Aban looked at Federica and said very solemnly: "I think Snow thinks so too. ”

"That's why he was so angry when you questioned Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben." Saying that, Aban smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also very angry. ”

"It is undoubtedly infuriating to suspect a simple, almost ascetic general who has always eaten in the army canteen, slept in the office, and never traveled by car!"

Aban's words made Federica's heart relax suddenly. The tiger he admired, he still hasn't changed. He maintained his self-confidence, his high spirits and enthusiasm, for the sake of his homeland.

"I apologize to both of you for my rudeness." Federica smiled, restoring the grace of the little princess of the German family of Hanover. Smiled at the two reporters and whispered, "I want to know." Do you want to continue interviewing me?! ”

When Federica Aban and Snow were interviewing, the ground crews of the three eastern provinces were overhauling the fighter jet that Federica had driven from Germany.

The Germans were obviously not very satisfied with the blueprints, and they adjusted the design of the Tiger Shark again in the German style. But everything remains the same. These ground crews who are familiar with the Tiger Shark I fighter can easily disassemble the fighter for maintenance.

At the same time, several personnel in overalls also made drawings of various spare parts of the fighter. These will be sent to the three secret eastern provincial aviation design bureaus for the experts to see.

Of course, all this is done quietly. Federica, of course, didn't know. The fighter she piloted has been dismantled by the ground crews in the three eastern provinces!

And Long Yun was envious of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht who were different from the Dian Army in terms of morale and fighting spirit at the garrison airport! And the Dian army stationed here is Long Yun's descendant.

They tried to find out how the Wehrmacht trained these warriors who fought against the Japanese and the Soviets without falling behind.

For these, these stationed Wehrmacht forces did not hide it either. The training, education, and military regulations of the Wehrmacht were all discussed. These were all documents and handed over to Long Yun's desk.

"Alas...... No wonder the Wehrmacht could defeat the Japanese! No wonder that the tiger was not afraid of the Japanese army...... "After reading the basic training and education, military regulations, etc., Long Yun couldn't help but sigh.

And Sun Du, who was beside Long Yun, couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading this outline.

Officers and soldiers are equal, and this first point is very difficult to achieve. Could it be that he and others want to take out all the money to fund the people below?! Eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers...... And so on, all of which have become the default habits of the army in this era.

If they break it at will, then they may face a split without waiting for Jiang Zhongzheng to come!

Let's talk about education. "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail!" This concept has infiltrated people's hearts! In normal times, you can't find anyone to be a soldier if you don't catch strong men, and you still expect literate people to be soldiers?! Be literate. That's basically an officer!

Even the army itself. There is also the concept of looking down on the "illiterate Qiu Ba". How difficult it is to get them to teach soldiers to read! Time. Long Yun was disheartened.

If you don't do these two things, then what you learn is just scratching the surface. When colliding with the Wehrmacht or the Japanese army, these skills are more competitive!

Even if you understand why the Wehrmacht is so strong, how can it?! You can only watch dryly.

In the army, they are all descendants of Long Yun. If he rashly replaced it with something else, Long Yun would not be at ease. Yes, even if you know this way, you can only stay on paper and watch helplessly.

This is just like Jiang Zhongzheng later, can he not know how powerful the red color is?! After fighting with the red for so many years, if he really didn't know the huge problems of the state government itself and the advantages of the red policy, then he would have lived in vain!

But just like the line in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic": If you don't, you will lose the party, and if you don't, you will lose the country!

The intertwined relationship was a problem that existed when the Nanjing State Government was first built. The roots are there, and if they are dug up, the whole tree will fall. But if you don't dig it up, then the borers in the roots will gradually corrode the tree!

In this era, almost all warlords are faced with this problem. In fact, Tu Qianjun has also encountered it. But his way of dealing with it is simple: kill!

Since the time of the old fourth battalion, he has been constantly cultivating his loyal subordinates. At that time, he couldn't control the affairs of the three eastern provinces, so he could only let it go.

But from the moment he took over, all the rules began to be complete! He deliberately let those families jump out on their own during the catastrophe, and clean up all the officials who colluded with them!

Then, the team that belonged to the Wehrmacht and trained by him entered the various ministries to take power after being trained by Yan Zhengqing! Completely corrected the entire three eastern provinces from the Zhang Xueliang period.

The old forces were struck, and the students, the highly trained soldiers, were able to enter the government. Although they also need to learn, it is better than officials who are used to corruption.

If this approach is interpreted in the economic way of later generations, then it can be called "core values".

The term core values comes from Collins and Bolas's 1994 monograph "Evergreen". In the book, the author proposes the concept of "vision-based enterprise". And believe that the core values and core mission remain unchanged. At the same time, adapting business objectives, strategies and actions to the changing environment is the reason why companies continue to innovate themselves and achieve long-term excellent performance.

Building and implementing an effective corporate vision is the key to success.

Perhaps we can explain it this way: the core value is the irreplaceable, most basic and lasting part of the organizational characteristics that the organization has that are different from other organizations, which is the fundamental reason for the survival and development of the organization, and the most core part of an organization's DNA.

And in fact. This core value is not only embodied in the enterprise and the organization. For individuals, it is also indispensable. For example, if you are looking for a job, if your value is something that someone else can replace, then your salary is unlikely to be very high.

The chances of even being eliminated will be high. Opposite. If you have value that others do not have and that is beneficial to the business, then your position is naturally irreplaceable. And your salary will naturally go up.

Managers who are good at running a business, they will get a high salary. Because they have core values that others don't have, he has the experience and ability to run and manage large enterprises, and the representative of this is Kai-Fu Lee.

And the rest of the programmers, some can get thousands or even tens of thousands of high salaries. Some just get a monthly salary of less than 5,000, and the difference is the core value of their existence.

When you have irreplaceability, your personal value will naturally increase. On the contrary, if you are just doing an ordinary assembly line and a random person can replace you, then you will be easily eliminated without core values.

Wise people will continue to enhance their core values. Get your own irreplaceability. The smart, on the other hand, will find ways to use unconventional means, or spend more time complaining that they are not valued or are not being paid better.

Whether it's an individual, a business, an organization, or a country. What is competing is the core value of the individual. There are no core values. Or this core value is indeed the inevitable result of losing in the fierce competition.

The three eastern provinces are now competing with Jiang Zhongzheng, Long Yun and others. It is the competition of core values! In this kind of competition, there is no doubt that Jiang Zhongzheng proved that they lost, so the tiger in the three eastern provinces will set his sights on Japan, and the subsequent world war!

Chen Chenran at the end of the Qing Dynasty wrote in the anthology "Words". In the second volume of "Proposal for Moving the Capital and Building a Domain", there is such a sentence: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. ”

The core value is a kind of rule set for oneself from the eternal world and from the overall situation. Or, so to speak, principles.

Tu Qianjun was influenced by the troops of later generations, and he began to set the most core values for his troops at the beginning. This value has been enforced since the beginning of the old fourth battalion.

As the old Fourth Battalion became the First Army, the Corps, and then the current National Defense Force, this core value has not changed. And this core value is: politics, belief and ideology at any time and under any circumstances, the interests of the country and the nation are above all else!

In fact, this article was also insisted on by Tu Qianjun. He can provide assistance to the anti-Japanese red, and can provide weapons to the troops that participated in the anti-Japanese resistance in various places.

He can accept those warlords who have different philosophies from his own, and he can give Li Hanhun a corps commander, and he can take over the 52nd Division, a force that has risen up against Japan, maintain its structure, and give them modern military training, replenishment of combat personnel, and weapons and equipment.

Red can also be accepted and given medicine, provisions, and weapons. But the core value that he has never violated is that he must not violate the interests of the state and the nation. The Nanjing State Government, which did not do this, was naturally not treated well by the tigers.

This is like building a house, if it is a high-rise building, then the foundation is naturally 100 meters deep!

Otherwise, a gust of wind will blow down the low-rooted pavilion in the air. This is how Jiang Zhongzheng's Nanjing State Government was blown down. And the seemingly huge Qing Empire was also blown down.

It is impossible for Long Yun to change his core values, or it can be said that he cannot complete this core value change alone.

"Zhizhou...... Call them and tell them. Let's just say that we don't insist on the original demand......" Long Yun was silent for a long time, and then whispered to his most trusted staff: "As long as we maintain our structure, then we in Yunnan will let other national defense forces ...... back and forth."

"Commander......" Sun Du couldn't help but be surprised! He didn't expect Long Yun to be disheartened by this kind of thing. But after being silent for a while, he also guessed Long Yun's thoughts.

War between Japan and China. It's always time to fight. When the time comes. What should I do if the Japanese call?! If you don't have a strong army, you can't resist! In other words, even if Long Yun stubbornly holds up, there are still only two ways for him to go in the future: to be annihilated by the Japanese. Or like the 52nd Division, it was half-crippled and entered the Wehrmacht sequence.

Rather than that, it would be better to join the Wehrmacht now.

When Long Yun made up his mind, Federica's interview was over. The little princess of Hanover smiled and stood up and saluted the two of them.

"Designed according to the route. Tomorrow I will fly to Xi'an. But Federica smiled at the two and said, "Will you go with me?!" ”

"Of course! We are honored! Snow smiled at the German princess, and through the interview and chat, he had completely let go of his hostility towards the princess.

Instead, there is a heartfelt respect! A girl who is only nineteen years old, no matter how tenacious she is, is in fact just a little girl. But she had such ambitions that she flew directly from Germany, thousands of miles away, to China!

Such a crazy thing, Snow asked himself that he couldn't do it! Therefore, he greatly respected and admired Her Royal Highness the princess of the House of Hanover.

"So, let's complete this journey together!" Federica smiled and saluted the two, and then Aban suggested that since he was in Kunming, he would naturally have to walk around.

So the three of them walked out of the hotel. I found Long Yun and asked for a few guides to visit Kunming.

Long Yun naturally didn't dare to slack off, and let his henchmen and staff go to lead these distinguished guests to visit and travel around. Under the leadership of this staff, Federica and others visited the Daguan Building, the first Changlian in the world and one of the four famous buildings. Known as the symbol of Kunming's ancient architecture, Jinma Biji Fang. Wu Sangui was angry at the golden palace with a red face......

This staff member was selected by Long Yun, and his eloquence is naturally not ordinary! Under his explanation. The historical stories and meanings behind these buildings are told. The trip was a lot more interesting.

Early the next morning, Federica came to say goodbye to Long Yun. Then, under the farewell of all walks of life in Kunming, he once again put on the flight suit and boarded his Tiger Shark I fighter that had been thoroughly inspected by the ground staff of the three eastern provinces!

And Aban and the others boarded the plane in the three eastern provinces, ready to take a picture of the heroic posture of the Hanover princess piloting a fighter plane in the air!

"Buzz buzz ......" With the roar of the fighter engine, Federica's Tiger Shark i slowly left the hangar! Under the command of the professional ground staff of the three eastern provinces, "woo~~" rushed forward!

Then a fierce pull up, in Kunming people from all walks of life in the exclamation! Resolutely ran to the blue sky!

After Federica's fighters rose into the air, the Wehrmacht's fighters, naturally, did not stop. Then he also took off directly down the runway, heading for Federica's fighter jet.

The two fighters lined up side by side and flew towards the city of Xi'an. There, Zhang Xueliang had already arranged the airport reception. After several hours of flying, Federica landed at the airport in Xi'an, escorted by planes from the three eastern provinces.

This time she didn't stay, and after filling up the gasoline, she directly chose to continue taking off! The next stop is Tianjin! Her goal is to reach the three eastern provinces within today!

At the US military airfield in Tianjin, it was ready for Federica! And after yesterday's interview, the report of Aban and Snow had already reached the United States with the telegram!

Today it appeared on the front page of the headlines of major news! It was a sensation all over the world for a while! The commander of the U.S. garrison in Tianjin shouted at his subordinates at the airport: "You are going to face a great woman!" She flew over Eurasia! In front of her, you must appear in the best condition! Don't disgrace our American soldiers! Do you understand?! ”

"Yes!!" The soldiers at the airport roared excitedly!

And what is Federica thinking now?! Actually, she didn't think too much about it. She was just thinking: Dear tiger, I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers to find you. But I wonder if you will wait for me in Mukden...... (To be continued)
