"The best areas of Western Europe can be touched by Germany, but not by the Soviet Union?" Chen Ke's tone was full of malice.
Some comrades who were still impressed by "The True Story of Ah Q" couldn't help but laugh out loud. Is this a paraphrase of "The monk can touch it, but I can't?" Of course, those who laughed out loud supported China's full preparation for the second phase. comrades.
"Soviet comrades believed that after liberating Europe, they would be able to obtain European industry, technology, and equipment. After all, the industrial strength of Europe as a whole is still higher than that of the United States." Chen Ke explained.
An important reason for the explosion of science and technology in the United States was the plundering of a large number of scientists from Europe after World War II. In fact, it was only in the 1980s that American technology fully caught up with and began to surpass Europe. Even so, Europe can still compete with the United States in many high-tech aspects. Hundreds of years of accumulation are no joke.
If the Soviet Union can solve the Axis powers, if nothing else, their chemical industry will immediately reach the world's number one level. Chen Ke University has a special course on searching for information, which tells the history of each major index. At that time, Germany was the most authoritative index for chemistry. After World War II, the United States sent a large number of German technical personnel to the United States, and then slowly absorbed and digested it, eventually surpassing Germany.
In the 21st century, the GDP of the EU is higher than that of the United States. If it can form a new country in Europe together with Russia, this new country will not only have an economic scale close to that of China and the United States combined, but also exceed the United States in terms of raw materials, nuclear weapons, military strength and population. . Even if China and the United States join forces, Russia's nuclear weapons will serve as a protective umbrella. Chen Ke knows this very well.
If the Soviet Union could liberate Europe, it would mean that the Soviet Union would immediately become number one in the world. If something like this happened, Lian Chen Ke would only have the confidence to rely on China's population and education system, coupled with twenty years of hard work, and hope that the Soviet Union would make some mistakes on its own to keep pace with this new Soviet Union. Even though the efficiency of the Soviet Union's crude integration capabilities was comparable to that of Nazi Germany, in the short term, the Soviet Union undoubtedly had huge technological and economic advantages. Facing such a Europe, the United States can only adopt a defensive posture.
A strong and unified Europe, giving full play to its advantages in technology and industry, will be able to build a navy that can attack the United States across the Atlantic within ten years. Of course, Britain must be conquered before this happens. A unified and strong Europe is not only a nightmare for Britain, but also a nightmare for the United States.
Some comrades think that Chen Ke is too gentle towards the United States. Regarding this, Chen Ke has nothing special to explain. He does not believe that placing a few aircraft carriers next to the U.S. coastline or dropping a few atomic bombs on the U.S. mainland will force the U.S. to surrender unconditionally.
Although he has no special recognition of the strength of the American militia, Chen Ke believes that if China invades the United States, it will require fierce fighting in every town and every village. The battle against New Zealand in Australia has proven this. Even if China occupied the United States after killing hundreds of millions of Americans, what would it prove? Prove that Chen Ke can become the greatest conqueror surpassing Genghis Khan in history? The biggest mass murderer? Prove that Chen Ke has the ability to overcome the sequelae of the security war that even the United States cannot overcome?
The soldiers of the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Revolutionary Army fight for the people. They are defenders and liberators, not massacres. As the founder and leader of this army, Chen Ke had no reason to let the loyal and brave troops of the party and the people die for a meaningless war for imperial hegemony.
The final strategic judgment of the Military Commission and the Politburo Standing Committee is that what the United States hopes most now is to attack Nazi Germany. The best interest in fighting Nazi Germany was to maintain a formerly divided Europe. On this point, British and American interests are aligned. There was nothing the United States could do about the Soviet Union. There is no problem in crossing the Bering Sea and entering Soviet territory, but the front that the United States spends a lot of transportation capacity to maintain is estimated to have to face a large number of Soviet troops, as well as Chinese weapons and logistical supplies that are close to this battlefield.
If you want to enter the Soviet Union from the North Atlantic, the United States must first pass through the occupied areas of Nazi Germany. The Nazis would never let Britain and the United States pass through his occupied areas, let alone think that Britain and the United States would have any good intentions in approaching the Nazi-occupied and controlled areas.
So unless the Americans have really lost their IQ, they will not attack China's almost completed Western Pacific defense system after completing its arming in 1942. Based on the interests of the United States and the opponents that the United States can choose, Nazi Germany is the best target to attack.
Uncle Iron Man hopes to defeat the fascist Axis powers through a decisive battle, and his strategic design is also remarkable. If it can be realized, Uncle Iron Man can be regarded as seizing the last window before the United States is armed. To liberate Europe in one fell swoop, even if the United States wanted to intervene, it would encounter great difficulties.
As for China¡¯s aid to the Soviet Unionthe Soviet comrades have owed China five years of trade money and have not paid it.?At this stage, benevolence and justice have been exhausted. If you go too far to help, I'm afraid it will have very poor results.
Of course, the external problems at this stage are easy to solve. Chinese transport ships have begun trading with Iran. The cargo ships unload guns and ammunition, factory equipment, railway construction equipment, etc., and then load them with full oil barrels before heading to China. China, which owns two oceans at the same time, is improving its own strength and preparing to face more violent external storms.
Before that, what needs to be solved is the new leadership issue.
When Chen Ke talked to Lu Huitian again, Lu Huitian asked directly: "Chairman Chen, do you not want me to participate in this election?"
"Of course I can make this choice, but what benefit will it bring to the revolutionary work if I do this?" Chen Ke asked rhetorically.
After Lu Huitian heard this, he understood that Chen Ke would not relax at all on the route. He sighed, "If you think it is necessary, I can not participate in this election."
"I think it is necessary to let comrades make their own choices. After all, the president of the country is elected by the National People's Congress. The party is the leader of party affairs, ideology and political direction, and cannot interfere in this matter." Chen Ke replied.
Because he had real trust in Chen Ke, Lu Huitian was immediately stunned, "Are you planning to expand the authority of the National People's Congress?"
Chen Ke first poured a cup of tea for Lu Huitian before continuing, "Comrade Lu Huitian, now the party thinks that we have differences on the line. You and I must admit this, and I believe you will admit it frankly. It's a matter of fact. The route you want is for the bureaucracy to lead national development. Do you have any objection to my judgment?"
Lu Huitian knew that he would have to discuss this matter with Chen Ke sooner or later. Originally, Lu Huitian had no connection with the intellectual circles. Not long ago, the intellectual circles took the initiative to come forward and hoped to support Lu Huitian to become chairman. The proportion of intellectuals in the National People's Congress is not low. With the support of such a group of people, the possibility of Lu Huitian being elected president will greatly increase.
As a veteran revolutionary for so many years, Lu Huitian would not think that he suddenly became a person who "disappoints the world's expectations". This abnormal change made Lu Huitian feel that something must have gone wrong. After asking around, I found out that Chen Ke had a very unhappy relationship with the intellectuals. However, Chen Ke has never made any public speech, and it is impossible for the intellectual community to reveal that there is a conflict with Chen Ke. No one would stand against Chen Ke if he dared to make the conflict public like this.
The intellectual circles of the Republic were created by the People's Party. These guys rebelled, and Lu Huitian was not happy at all. Not only was he not happy, he was actually preparing to severely rectify this group of people. However, Chen Ke would never use such administrative means to punish people. Lu Huitian admired this, but felt that Chen Ke's behavior was inappropriate.
Since Chen Ke brought up the differences between lines, Lu Huitian simply said, "Chairman Chen, comrades respect you very much. So everyone sees that you are being bullied, and we feel that we cannot ignore it. I really want to use the overall war To comprehensively adjust the national system, those clowns in the intellectual circles still think that the earth will not rotate without them? What you are doing now is to seek the far away at the expense of the near. At this time, it is time to cut through the mess quickly and solve the problem. .¡±
Chen Ke shook his head, "The wildfire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again. Even if these people are cut into pieces and the nine tribes are implicated, the fundamental problem will not be solved. Human beings' understanding of problems is sometimes very interesting, if it is a pig urine bubble and a little golden bean , most people will choose the pig urine bubble. Because it looks big, easy to see, and easy to get. The small golden beans are small, hard to find, and difficult to distinguish. But throw both things into the sea, pig The urine bubbles were floating on the sea, and the little golden bean sank immediately. No matter how wide it seemed on the sea, it was still limited. Everyone, you can lean against me and I squeeze you. In the blink of an eye, the sea surface was filled. Compared with the sea surface, underwater There is infinite space, infinite depth, and infinite things that can be excavated. Yes, it is dark underwater, there is huge pressure, and God knows what kind of dangers. But as a little golden bean, I can withstand it. The sea surface When there was a big wave last time, all the pigs were wiped out. The golden beans were safe underwater."
Lu Huitian completely disagrees with Chen Ke¡¯s view on this matter, ¡°We can use powerful administrative power to resist the storm!¡±
Chen Ke shook his head, "Your view is very common, but in fact this is impossible. We are all materialistic, and when anything solidifies, it means death. We can participate in the laws of social operation, but we It is impossible to create a set of rules by yourself. I am opposed to the government dominating everything, not because it is impossible, but because the government cannot do it. If you can't do something, you can't do it no matter how hard you try! It's better to create a giant pig urine bubble with an absolute government , and even smeared it with paint and beautified it after eating, it would be better to find a hole in it.It is a golden bean that is hollow and cannot be said to be regular in shape. Although everything in the world will come to its own end, the golden beans will last much longer than the pig urine bubbles. "
"In the final analysis, this is still about interests." Lu Huitian found it difficult to accept this. "At least politically and institutionally, it must be somewhat ideal."
"Communism is most about interests, and communism is about the interests of all mankind. Isn't it a benefit to have achieved comprehensive liberation? When we were in Fengtai County, no one could protect the interests of the people, not even us. Foreigners who have just arrived are willing to stand with the people. Won¡¯t the people follow us? You have been in Hubei for many years and must have been to the steel plant many times. The deafening noise and the high temperature of thousands of degrees can cause serious injuries if you are not careful. , fell into the molten steel and his whole body was burned immediately, and no bones or slag could be found. The environment was probably even more terrifying than during the flood. The people still stood with us. And the work we do is to ensure that as much as possible No matter how normal our work is, nothing happens. As the vanguard of workers, we members of the People's Party have to work in the most difficult environments, fight high temperatures, and promote production. Where we work, the working people also work there. China's current situation Did everything fall from the sky? Wasn't it created together with the people? What I have never understood is why a system dominated by bureaucracy was created without continuing to dig deeper despite the good experience?" Chen Ke's attitude Very clear.
"No matter how correct you are in theory, you will still encounter problems in practice." Lu Huitian replied after being silent for a moment.
Chen Ke shook his head, "Don't be afraid that the people are not used to it. Were the people used to having an emperor back then? Where is the emperor now? The most important feature of social development is to eliminate lies. I am opposed to the bureaucracy leading everything, because the bureaucracy can lead everything itself It¡¯s a lie. This is something that simply cannot be done. The moment the bureaucracy becomes divorced from the masses, it will be a contradiction.¡±
After listening to Chen Ke's words, Lu Huitian replied calmly: "Even if the People's Party serves as the vanguard of workers and even if the bureaucracy serves as a service provider, there are many problems that are still difficult to solve. None of the current problems is very clear. , a very operational system. I dare to say something to you, but I can't say it to other comrades. The reason why I hope to establish a bureaucratic system is that I think the problem now lies in the distribution system. I know you You want to expand the power of the National People's Congress, but what does the National People's Congress do? I think you know very well that if the National People's Congress really takes control of the power, it will be a unit that shares the cake. They will decide the final distribution system, which will trigger a terrible long-term Chaos. If the bureaucracy decides the distribution power, it only needs supervision. But when the National People's Congress takes control of the distribution power, it means disaster. I don't like those National People's Congress deputies who say they want to support me at all, when they try to influence the party for their own interests. When we implemented the policy, I felt that it would be unjust to shoot them. If I say this, you will definitely understand."
Having said that, this is the end of the story. Chen Ke was very moved by Lu Huitian's unparalleled confession, "Comrade Lu Huitian, our party combines science and democracy. Science is the foundation of everything. The foundation of democracy is also science. This cannot be shaken. . I have given so many negative examples for only one purpose, which is to let everyone see what the consequences will be if we don¡¯t talk about science or democracy. Human beings make progress in this process of constant mistakes. From the future Looking at it now, what we are doing is a bunch of stupid things.¡±
Lu Huitian didn't expect Chen Ke to say such a sentence. He was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud, "Are they all a bunch of stupid things? Well, Chairman Chen, no matter what my personal understanding and opinions are, as a As a party member, I will obey the party¡¯s decisions.¡±
Chen Ke nodded seriously, "Yes, every member of the People's Party, including me, needs to adhere to this discipline."
