Chapter 402: The Imminent Revolution and the Gold Mine
PS: The second watch asks for votes......

August 10, Republic 2761 (1920), Hanjing.
"Well, is the information accurate?" asked Wen Deji as he looked at Wen Jiàn in his hand.
Major General Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Bureau, replied: "Mr. Wen, this is the first time that my embassy in Germany got some information, and then notified us, and we will confirm it from different channels, which is very likely......
"Well, well, let's wait and see......" Wen Deji smiled.
"Then do you want us to help them again?" Huo Jinsi asked.
Wen Desi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Of course you can, but you can't let people find out that we did it......"
"Of course, we will make some preparations to mislead them into thinking on the side of Britain, France, Russia and other forces. And it's true that they have the support of Britain and France......" Huo Jinsi smiled: "Now Britain and France hate Germany to the core, I wish they were unlucky, and it is strange that they don't support an opposition like the German Communist Party." ”
"I really didn't expect that the first to do it was the KPD, and I always thought it would be the French Communist Party, after all, they French people love the revolution so much. Moon also laughed.
"I wonder if we have weakened Soviet Russia too much, so that the strength of the Third International is too weak, and there is no upsurge in the international communist movement. It's a pity that the British Communist Party and the American Communist Party don't have any decent leaders, and we all threw a lot of money into it, and it was useless. Wen Desi faintly felt as if he had pitted himself. Of course, this is just a small pit, and it is more than creating that red empire.
"This is also something that cannot be helped, Soviet Russia is still entangled with Tsarist Russia, and it simply has no strength to support these peers. The conservative forces of Britain and the United States were extremely strong, and it was difficult for the communist movement to develop in them. Huo Jinsi said: "However, compared with the Third International, the development of our CSD is slow. ”
Wen Desi nodded and said, "Yes, we are still one step late. The communist movement was organized decades before me, and its foundation was much thicker than mine, and the lower-class workers were basically their basic plate, and they were very wary of us, so it was difficult for them to intervene. And we have to guard against the other government, and the development in the developed countries is even slower. ”
Yes, they are talking about exporting the revolution. For this kind of thing, Wen Deji has always attached great importance to it. The export of ideology is a very important matter, and any government that aspires to the throne of "Captain of the Earth" must pay attention to it. During the Cold War in the original time and space, ideological competition was a common pattern of US-Soviet hegemony.
However, in this regard, the woolly bear is very rough and has no technical content, so their "democracy" was exploded by the "freedom" of Eagle Sauce, and finally "freedom" was incorporated into "liberal democracy". That's right, during the Cold War, the United States advocated "freedom", and the Soviet Union was the banner of "democracy", so there were two kinds of revolutions in the world at that time, the "revolution of freedom" and the "revolution of democracy".
Of course, he wants to be the leader of the world revolution, and it doesn't matter which one he has, but he must become the leader of that camp to be eligible to enjoy the dividends of the revolution. Now, of course, the leader of the capitalist camp is still the British Empire, although the First World War caused them heavy losses, but it was also a thin camel bigger than a horse. For a country that has controlled the hegemony of the earth for hundreds of years, a single war will not drag them out, nor will it be an enhanced version of the First World War. There's no way, people's families are too thick.
With China's current strength, it is still a little anxious to snatch the throne of the leader of this camp with Britain. Even with the development of Wendehei, China's foundation is still too thin, and it has only been less than ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are still many things that need time to accumulate, and a lot of territory in his hands has not been digested, which will take time.
Moreover, there is also the problem that at present this capitalist camp is the mainstream of the world, but precisely because it is the mainstream, there are also a lot of competitors, such as Germany, the United States, and France. It's too tiring to do that.
The socialist camp is different, China is the first socialist country in the world. Well, as for the question of whether this "scientific socialism" is authentic or not, whether you believe it or not, anyway, the text always believes it. No matter what others think, as long as it is the first to succeed and the strength is not weak, then it has a natural advantage in the battle for the leader of the faction.
Wen Desi is very confident in this, and only by continuing to develop, the leader of the socialist camp must be China, that is, himself. But there is also the problem that the socialist camp has a rival, and that is the Third International, led by Soviet Russia. No matter how much the Soviet Union sprayed it, "scientific socialism" is indeed "socialism", at least a form of "socialism", or a variant. Whether or not the Soviet Union and Russia admit it, there is much overlap in the theoretical foundations of the two sides.
In other words, there is a lot of overlap between the audience and the fundamentals of the two theories. For example, if you run a dumpling restaurant, he won't think that the clothing store next door has robbed him of his business, but he will definitely think that the wonton shop opposite is hateful. So no matter what kind of industry, heretics are more deserving of burning than heretics, and this is robbing business.
It is precisely for this reason that the relations between the Chinese and Soviet parties are extremely bad, and everyone wants to be the boss. Although the strength of Soviet Russia is not as good as that of China, the advantage of people is that they are old, there are people everywhere, and there are relationships everywhere. Especially in the countries of the old powers, such as Britain, France, and Germany, the communist movement of the Third International had already occupied almost the basic plate of socialism, and the "science and social movement" of Wen Desi could only pick up some leftovers. No way, once ideology is formed, it is very difficult to change, and it is not just a matter of money and national strength.
"That's why I hate heretics!" said Wen Deji in a depressed voice.
He didn't regret that he didn't kill Ulyanov back then, if he had killed him, he would have made the socialist camp all take refuge in him, and Wendesi would have done it a long time ago. The communist movement that people engage in has long been the climate, and the ideology of people's basic plate has been formed, and this cannot be changed by a few dead people, even leaders.
"I hope this upsurge of the communist movement in Europe will bring me good news!" said he was very much looking forward to the imminent outbreak of the communist uprising in Europe, led by the Third International. "It would be best if the Third International and imperialism could afford to lose both. If these two companies don't make a bloody mess, and people's brains are beaten out of dog brains, how can Mr. Wen's "scientific socialist movement" grow stronger, and how can it grab enough basic plates?
........................................................................
San Francisco, USA.
After the Spanish flu has been raging on the planet for more than half a year, it is finally showing signs of ebbing. There are now many more pedestrians on the streets than in the first half of the year, and the popularity of the market is gradually recovering.
Scrooge, who had been at home for nine months, finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the house today. For most of the past six months, he has stayed at home except for going to the company to pick up jobs and hand in drawings, as well as going out for shopping. Luckily, he works as a mechanical designer and only needs to draw at home.
In these years, there is no computer and no Internet, there is nothing fun to stay at home, the books at home have been read several times, Scrooge is a single dog, there is no sister to play, this life is really fed up. Well, thankfully, there are also radios and televisions. Thank God, thanks to Xingke, they invented the radio and television. Without these two things, he doubted that he would have survived three months.
But not only did the radio and television completely replace face-to-face interaction, but he felt that if he didn't go out to play again, his whole body would rust.
As soon as I walked out of the house, a breeze blew, bringing up some white powder from the ground. It was lime powder, and then he asked again about the strong smell of disinfectant water, which he could smell even through the mask. Scrooge was all too familiar with these things, lime, disinfectant, disinfectant, lime...... For most of the past six months, most Americans have been dealing with these things every day, and they can't be familiar with them if they don't want to.
"These lime and potion companies must be making a lot of money!" Scrooge muttered.
Not far away, there is a bar with a sign that says "Moby Dick Bar". Scrooge's face was happy, and he quickened his pace and walked over.
The door is closed and there is a sign that reads: "We only accept customers who wear masks, and you are not allowed to remove your mask after entering the bar."
"How can you drink with a mask?" Seeing this notice, Scrooge was embarrassed.
Well, it's okay not to drink, Scrooge's main purpose in coming to the bar now is not to drink, but to communicate. He wants to talk to people, even if it's to hear them. Since the outbreak of the plague, the boss of the company has asked employees to do all the work that can be done at home, do it at home, and go to the office just to accept tasks and turn in tasks. Whether it is a boss or a colleague, they are all like great enemies, lest they will be infected with the damn flu after a few more words. His boss not only asked them to wear masks to talk, but even asked them to talk as much as possible.
In the past six months, I am afraid that I have not talked as much with the boss and colleagues of the company as he did the day before. For Scrooge, who likes to be lively and like to brag and fart, this kind of day is really a mud horse. After all, no matter how good the radio and TV programs are, they are separated by a layer, and there is no feeling of face-to-face communication with real people. That's right, that's what Scrooge wants.
If it had been some time ago, even if Scrooge had this idea, he would not have been able to realize it, and all nightclubs, bars and other entertainment venues would have closed their doors. Even if Scrooge is not afraid of death, those bosses are afraid. Of course, the more upscale establishments are certainly not closed, and the powerful will not abuse themselves, but Scrooge's current identity is not squeezed into that circle.
Thank God, now that the peak of the flu has finally passed, some of the bold bosses have opened their doors to do business.
He also learned from the radio that this "Moby Dick Bar" had reopened, and Scrooge used to be a regular customer of this bar, and he would come for a drink after work, brag and fart with his drinking friends, and then tease the board girl or something.
"Knock knock knock......" Scrooge patted the door, he saw that there was a "cat's eye" on the door, this kind of thing was also invented by the Xingke company, the exclusive agent of the Zenith Star Group, and he also installed one on the door, which is indeed very convenient to observe the door. Then he heard footsteps, and someone came to the door, presumably looking at himself with a cat's eye. He hurriedly lifted his chin and exposed the mask entirely.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened. A waiter with a mask stands in the doorway.
"Be careful, don't take off your mask when you go in, or you'll throw it out......," the waiter said to him, and got out of the way.
Scrooge grumbled, "Oh, Tom, you're so unfriendly! That's how you welcome old friends?"
"Scrooge, thank God, it's great that you're okay, several old friends haven't seen it, and I don't know how they're doing......" Tom immediately became enthusiastic when he heard his voice.
"Yes, I'm glad to hear your voice, this damn plague, too many people have died! Four ...... have died in our company" Scrooge shook his head helplessly.
"Isn't it, Jerry got that damn flu too, and luckily there's that medicine from China, or he'd probably see God......" Tom sighed.
The two chatted and went into the bar.
At this point, Scrooge finally knew how everyone didn't take off their masks and drank. Quite simply, they are used with straws.
"What do you want, sir?" asked the waiter at the bar.
"Oh, it's Jerry. I'm so glad to meet you!"
"Ah, it's Scrooge, and I'm so glad to see you! Well, do you want rum on the rocks?"
"Of course......" Scrooge nodded.
"I'm sorry, I can't add ice right now, just ice ......" Jerry brought over not a wine glass, but a small can and a straw sealed with paper.
Jerry explains, "People don't think wine glasses are safe, so they use this. The amount is the same, one cup is a can, and there are two cups of ......"
"Uh, nothing. The cans are ready...... "Scrooge took the still cold can and looked at it, it was printed with the words "Beidou brand rum", Chinese goods.
He expertly opened the can, tore off the packaging of the straw, inserted it into the mouth of the can and took a sip. "Whew, this rum tastes so mellow......"
"Of course, this is the best tasting rum, it's hard to sell, and you're a regular customer before you give it to you. Jerry laughed.
"Oh, the gold mines! there's a big gold mine there! Africa, I love Africa!"
At this time, there was a commotion from the side, and Scrooge looked back to see several men talking in their seats. From time to time, I hear words like "gold mine", "diamond", etc.
"What are they talking about?"
"Didn't Africa discover gold mines, and someone made a fortune there. Jerry said with a smile.
