Chapter 2: The Old World

After turning the last page, Huo Shan gently put the German version of Krauswitz's "On War" in his hand on the sandalwood desk.

In his last life, when he studied mechanics, he learned German and English, because all imported machinery products are the best in Germany and the United States, except for the imports of the little devils. Therefore, with the beautiful dream of finding a good job and getting a beautiful wife after graduation, in the three years of technical school, when others were in a hurry, he spent his time studying, although the spoken English of the two foreign languages was not very good for various reasons, but there was no problem at all in understanding general foreign language books.

Stretched out his hand and pinched his slightly swollen eyebrows, got up and put the book that he had read three times back in place, he didn't want to be discovered by his new teacher, after all, he had just studied with him for less than a week, and he had already learned to read and write, which was enough to be demonic. If he found out that he still knew German, it would be fine.

Meimei stretched her waist and moved the muscles and bones of her whole body, Huo Shan couldn't help but moan in comfort.

Through the carved window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, the beautiful jīng, Huo Shan couldn't help but push the door and walked out, and suddenly a breeze enveloped the moisture of the lake, brushing his whole body, taking away the exhaustion from all over his body.

At that moment, Huo Shan felt a shock from the jīng god, strolled into the pavilion by the lake, found a stone bench and sat on it, looking at the microwave lake not far away, the things that had happened around him in the past few days were like gurgling water, slowly flowing through his mind.

In the fifth year of Guangxu, on November 3, 1879, the Qing Empire was located in Taipei, Fujian Province, where he is now. Thinking of this, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, although he had some guesses in his heart when he apprenticed a few days ago, but after really knowing the era he was in, he still couldn't believe that he actually traveled to the Qing Dynasty more than one hundred and twenty years ago.

This is a magnificent era, in the current world, the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement is being held vigorously, and the old lady Cixi sat leisurely behind the curtain and happily watched Zhang Nanpi, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi and Aixin Jueluo Yi fight for power and profit. At this time, the Meiji Restoration of Xiao Rìben also began for more than 20 years, but the gap in national strength made this group of dwarfs only drool and gnash their teeth against China's huge territory behind their backs. After the greedy polar bear Russia annexed more than one million square kilometers of land in China's outer northeast and northwest, and ate a lot of brains, it returned to Europe while boasting of the identity of the European military police, while drooling at the Ottoman Empire, and went crazy with a desire for the outlet to the Mediterranean.

Prussia became the German Empire, eating France's five billion gold francs war reparations, while frantically developing its own industry, and longing to have colonies all over the world like Britain, but after picking up knives and forks, it turned out that there was no meat on the table.

Although it was defeated in the German-French war, and the reparations and land were ceded, it almost made the Gallic rooster poor as pants, but through the continuous looting of the huge colony, it was able to stagger and hold on again. Now he is secretly aiming at China with rifles, eager to occupy the entire Indochina Peninsula and expand his colonies in the Far East.

After the first industrial revolution, John Bull with his sharp steam engine and warships, so that Britain has become an empire, occupying the most colonies in the world, owning the most wealth, with the warships in his hands to the world to take what the British Empire wants, without feeling that the crisis is quietly approaching, John Bull is still immersed in the Victorian era can not extricate himself.

At this time, the American eagle was not the world after World War II, and now they were struggling under the suppression of the British Empire, frantically borrowing from Europe, so that their railway lines would continue to extend, and she was burying her head in economic development, so she could only pick up some colonial soup and water behind her cousin Britain, and struggled to suppress the hope of expanding her power beyond the Americas.

In general, the world is still in the economic era, the second scientific and technological revolution is in the ascendant, and the world is full of the guns of war and the expansion of European colonizers.

Thinking of all this, Huo Shan suddenly found that he was now full of opportunities, beyond the world's more than a hundred years of knowledge and familiarity with history, and he found that he actually had the opportunity to bring the crumbling China to strength.

Remembering the warlord melee and rìben invasion in later generations, China has suffered too much in the past hundred years, and almost every conscientious Chinese is dreaming of changing China's current situation, overthrowing the Qing dynasty, and restoring the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties. And Huoshan, who knows the history of later generations, is no exception.

"I want China to rise again!" Huo Shan looked at the lake in front of him and swore heavily in his heart.

The hot sense of historical mission and responsibility made him unable to sit still any longer, and the idea of being a rich man a few days ago was ruthlessly thrown into the vast Pacific Ocean by him.

He quickly stood up, and under the astonished eyes of the maids and servants, he hurried back to his bedroom, and when he turned and closed the door firmly, he took out his most important thing from the hidden position under the bed.

Looking at the black laptop in front of him, Huo Shan was confused and extremely glad at the same time, although he didn't know how this computer crossed over, but with it, he had mastered the world in advance. This is the latest version of IBM that I bought after saving a year's salary, 4G memory, Intel 4-core processor, full 1T hard disk, and the most important thing is that it can be charged with solar energy in addition to power charging, which is why Huo Shan abandoned Apple and bought it instead.

Looking at the familiar window cāo system, I felt intimate and a little sad in my heart, and he could not go back to that familiar society.

Thinking of this, Huo Shan shook his head fiercely, squeezing out all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and now he has more important hungry tasks to complete!

The moving finger clicked on the F drive, which he was already very familiar with, and suddenly folders with different names appeared on the screen.

Seeing these familiar contents, Huo Shan not only breathed a long sigh of relief, but also showed a deep sense of remembrance on his face.

You must know that this 1T hard disk is filled with countless chemical, steel, mining, shipbuilding and other machinery and guns, tanks, aircraft, warships, and even pharmaceutical formulas, the distribution map of mineral resources in most countries in the world, the list of all famous scientists and their deeds in the world from the first industrial revolution to the 21st century, and a general history of the world. All of these are the materials he used to look up for the convenience of reading books when he used to read fiction novels on the Internet, but he didn't expect to use them now.

"Whew! China's rise begins today!" Huo Shan said confidently as he looked at the computer screen.

In the next month, in addition to eating, sleeping and studying, Huo Shan was stuffed in his bedroom, trying to make a detailed strategic plan for his future career.

Rubbing his somewhat sore wrists, looking at the fruits of his hard work for a month, Huo Shan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Due to his young age, typing is really inconvenient, and with such a big development plan for decades, it is a little difficult for him to do it alone.

"Let's do it for the time being, and then slowly replenish the rest according to the actual situation!" Huo Shan thought secretly in his heart.

After turning off the computer and putting it away, he stood up and couldn't help but stretch his waist for a long time, but maintaining a posture for a long time made him feel a little uncomfortable with his blood and blood, and soon a gold star flashed in front of him, and his head was dizzy and almost fell.

"Alas, it's still too young!" After reaching out and hugging his head, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Knock knock ......!"

"Young master, Madame called you over, and the new clothes I made for you have been brought over!" With a knock on the door, a crisp children's voice with a slight resentment came from outside the door.

"Alas, it's this girl again!" Huo Shan turned around and walked towards the door with a bitter face, now he still remembered that this month ago, when he told this little girl not to enter his bedroom for a month, her crying god, but he took a lot of effort and promised N more unequal conditions to coax it.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Ping'er's little face with two cheeks puffed out and trying to make herself angry appeared in front of him.

Looking at her cute appearance of her cheeks holding red, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile dumbly.

"Oh, don't laugh, people will ignore you if you do this again!" As her personal maid, the little girl also understands that she is going to marry the young master in the future, and the two are of the same age, so when the two are alone, they are used to fighting.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh! Let's go, otherwise my mother will be in a hurry!" After speaking, without waiting for the little girl to speak, she stretched out her wolf claws, grabbed the tender white hand, and took Xiao Ping'er, who was blushing and didn't say a word, and ran towards the middle courtyard.
