    Precisely because he saw the greatness of the new young generation, Song Biao finally realized how great the empire he had created was, and finally realized how free, excellent and beautiful this empire was.

    Before arriving at Lushan, Song Biao was so confident. The young people gave him unlimited confidence and courage, which made his aging body become youthful again, making him fearless and truly daring to dream of everything.

    As the students expected, the Chinese are going to land on the moon.

    Among the 140 full-scoring essays on "China in Twenty Years", only two mentioned Verne's dream of landing on the moon, but these two precisely represent the greatest longing in the human heart - to leave the earth and fly.  To the universe.

    When Song Biao got off the train, he was already determined to build a new 201S top-secret project and use another thirty years to promote a huge planetary project, allowing the Chinese to set foot on the moon and build a space station in space.

    Even if there is no competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony and no Cold War competition, the Chinese will still take the lead and stand at the apex of human civilization.

    When the train passed through Wuhan, Song Biao deliberately arranged for the train to run slower, giving him the opportunity to take a closer look at Wuhan at night. Wuhan belonged to the south-central region in the empire's territory and also belonged to the central urban area.

    The central and southern regions of the Empire include the five provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Zone in the Empire's Seventh Five-Year Plan, Wuhan, Changsha, and Nanchang will build an emerging urban industrial zone, especially Wuhan, Zhang Zhidong  The foundation left behind back then has been well inherited and developed by the empire. It is indeed the most important central city in central China. It is relatively good in terms of education, economy and technology.

    Wuhan¡¯s advantage lies in transportation. Large enterprises such as Zhongnan Railway Company, Zhongnan Heavy Industry, Hanyeping, Yangtze Shipbuilding Corporation, Yangtze Machinery Group, Zhongnan Machine Tool, and Hanyang Machinery are all concentrated here. Local public and private universities are also concentrated here.

    On the industrial map of the empire, it is also the center of machinery, shipbuilding, automobiles, and electrical manufacturing in the central region of the empire. In particular, the development of the military industry is the most prosperous, because it is the central area of ??the empire's territory, which means that the empire will not encounter any military threats.  , it is in the safest area.

    Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Xi'an, these cities can be regarded as second-tier industries in the empire's military industry. Among these cities, Wuhan is also the only ship manufacturing center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The warships produced here are mainly based on 5,000  The Hanyang automobile industry, which is developed based on tanks and armored vehicles, is also relatively developed for frigates, destroyers and small and medium-sized patrol ships below tonnage, and has a certain position in the national automobile industry.

    Every time Song Biao passes by here, he will think of the massacre thirty years ago. This is the biggest impression and memory left to him in Wuhan.

    He will also think of Zhang Zhidong.

    Experience has gradually become a part of Chinese history. When he looks back on the past, he often thinks of people who have passed away, such as Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Zhidong, and Yuan Shikai. In his memory, they seem to have always existed.

    It was around 9 o'clock in the evening that day that the Oriental train entered Lushan County and stopped at Lushan South Railway Station, beginning the long vacation of the imperial family in midsummer of this year.

    At the same time that the royal family arrived at the Lushan Summer Palace, Wu Xunzhi, vice president of the Central Academy of Sciences, and several other scientists who came to participate in the seminar also arrived. Song Biao was very happy to invite Wu Xunzhi and others to attend the dinner held at the Summer Palace in the evening.

    Although Song Biao was a little tired after riding the train for a day, after the play was over, he still invited Wu Xunzhi to have a discussion in the Yuequan Garden of the Summer Palace.

    The scale of the Imperial Summer Palace is much larger than that of the Central Palace. After all, it is the place responsible for holding the Lushan Conference for a long time. Among them, there are four imperial gardens alone. The Moon Spring Garden is a small garden built around the Lushan Mountain Reflecting Moon Spring, the Corridor Flower Hall and  The combination of rockery and bamboo forest is very clever. It is a scenic spot famous for its purity and elegance in the summer palace.

    In the evening, there was a drizzle of light rain. Song Biao invited Wu Xunzhi to sit down in the flower hall of Yuequan Garden, listening to the wonderful sound of drizzle outside the window on the clear spring pool, and listening to the gentle sound of wind caressing the bamboo forest.  It is quite interesting in the mountains.

    Wu Xunzhi is not only the vice president of the Central Academy of Sciences, but also a senior scientific adviser to the General Administration of the Interior. Whenever decisions are made in the field of nuclear physics, Song Biao will invite him to discuss relevant scientific issues. It should be said that both parties are still  Very familiar.

    Song Biao happened to have some questions to consult with Wu Xunzhi during this time. Since they met at Lushan Summer Palace, he decided to take this opportunity to ask. When Wu Xunzhi sat down and tea was served, Song Biao did not exchange too many greetings.  Wu Xunzhi directly asked: "The Central Cabinet is considering the idea of ??building China's first commercial nuclear power plant in the Seventh Five-Year Plan, do youGot it?  "

    Wu Xunzhi still held the tea cup in his hand, because the emperor asked very urgently and did not finish a few polite words, which made him a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he nodded cautiously and replied: "The cabinet has made it clear to us.  requirements in this regard.¡±

    Song Biao signaled Wu Xunzhi to drink tea first, and then waited for a while before continuing to ask: "Do you think it is feasible?"

    Wu Xunzhi replied: "I don't think it's very appropriate. In the past ten years, the empire's nuclear fission power generation system engineering research has made rapid progress, but there is definitely still a big gap between truly mature and reliable commercial operation, especially  Considering that our country is rich in coal and water resources, rushing into nuclear power projects does not seem to be the best choice."

    Song Biao agreed with Wu Xunzhi¡¯s point of view, but asked: ¡°Then when do you estimate that commercial nuclear fission power generation projects can be officially implemented?¡±

    Wu Xunzhi made a careful estimate and replied: "The Seventh and Eighth Five-Year Plans will continue to increase research investment and build a nuclear fission reactor simulation generator set based on the Aqite Nuclear Fission Research Base and the Hanzhong Nuclear Research Institute.  With more testing, it should be feasible to formally build the first experimental commercial project in the Ninth Five-Year Plan period."

    Song Biao asked him: "Then where do you plan to put the new simulation unit?"

    Wu Xunzhi replied: "Our previous experimental units in Hanzhong and Aqit Lake areas were too small and could not fully simulate actual commercial operation conditions in many critical studies. Therefore, this time I hope to choose unmanned equipment in the Far East in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.  The district will launch a larger-scale simulation unit, and the power generation scale will reach 300,000 kilowatts."

    Song Biao thought for a moment.

    What he is worried about is the military threat, because the Battle of Sakhalin is not completely over yet. Even after it is over, there is still the possibility that Japan will continue to send espionage activities in this area.

    After some consideration, Song Biao agreed to the proposal and said: "You can let the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Nuclear Physics do preliminary research in this area first, and report it to the Central Bureau of Secrecy when conditions are suitable."

    Wu Xunzhi nodded in agreement.

    Song Biao¡¯s basic attitude towards the issue of nuclear power plants is to support development, but does not support popularization, let alone the premature pursuit of commercial operations. He still hopes to wait until the technical conditions are more mature.

    It is obviously a more reasonable choice to build an experimental simulation power plant in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang for larger-scale technical verification. Even if it is commercialized in the future, the Empire will focus more on scientific research in this field rather than prematurely.  It is used on a large scale because the empire is the country with the richest coal resources in the world and also rich water conservancy resources. It has enough resources to maintain the development of relatively long-term power supply.

    Song Biao was certainly not particularly familiar with the scientific community. He took this opportunity to ask Wu Xunzhi: "If the empire plans to develop aerospace technology in the long term, launch artificial satellites, and use space for wireless communications and military reconnaissance, etc.  , including the development of aerospace technology such as space rockets, moon and Mars exploration, in your opinion, who will be more suitable to lead this work?"

    Wu Xunzhi thought seriously for a long time, and then replied to Song Biao: "I think there is still a lack of such suitable talents in China, and even in the entire international world. If I must choose, I think the D series  Comrade Tu Shouning, the chief designer of intercontinental ballistic missiles, is the most suitable. First of all, his in-depth research on ballistic missiles and aerodynamics is the basis of aerospace technology. Secondly, he has rich leadership experience in system research projects."

    Song Biao nodded in agreement.

    This is basically what he originally expected.

    This is a brand new field, and humans have very little exploration in this field. Although there are many astrophysicists in the empire and around the world, the scientists who really need to be responsible for this scientific research must be people who can solve practical problems.  It is necessary to lead the greatest team to complete the development of the aircraft and send it to space so that the instrument can operate normally in the space environment.

    Wu Xunzhi was very interested in this, and asked Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, this should be the empire's second huge scientific research project like the nuclear program, right?"

    Song Biao nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, we will have to spend a long time to gradually complete this plan. It may take half a century, or it may take more than ten years. Who knows? Just like when we first engaged in nuclear physics research  Same. Our Chinese nation once created very important inventions that changed the human world and human civilization. Now, we should continue to create greater new technologies. Similarly, only we continue to maintain huge investments in scientific research and continue to promote scientific progress.  Only by making progress can the empire more firmly maintain its leading position in the world."

    Wu Xunzhi agrees very much??Sighed: "Your Majesty is wise."

    Song Biao checked the time and saw that it was still early, so he asked Wu Xunzhi to talk about the situation at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in detail. The empire was developing in two fields of nuclear physics research at the same time, one was nuclear weapons, and the other was  Nuclear fission power plants, both are very large system projects.

    The empire's nuclear weapons have advanced very rapidly in recent years. After basically understanding the entire theory of nuclear weapons and having a sound production capacity foundation, the empire has conducted a total of more than forty nuclear explosion tests under different conditions in the northwest.  With enough information and data, the empire has now completed the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb and continues to work hard to increase the explosive yield of the nuclear warhead.

    On the other hand, the Missile Research Institute is also cooperating with a number of large aviation weapons companies to develop more advanced ballistic missiles. After achieving a major breakthrough in the development of medium-range missiles, the Empire began a systematic intercontinental missile development plan.  , once this plan is successful, the empire will be able to directly use intercontinental nuclear missiles to attack most countries in the world, which is enough to ensure the empire's absolute superiority in the military field.

    Germany's policy of prioritizing expansion to the East and the Soviet Union made the whole of Europe breathe a sigh of relief. Britain, France, the United States and other countries still maintained good relations with Germany. People did not realize that a larger-scale world war was coming, and the United States  The nuclear missile development program has also not yet started.

    ¡°Worldwide, there are only two countries that are currently conducting nuclear weapons research. One is the Chinese Empire, which has already succeeded, and the other is Nazi Germany, which is still in the basic stage.

    ¡­¡­

    The world is experiencing the twilight before darkness. The setting sun shines on the world. People think that what is coming is new hope. Who knows that what is coming is an even more endless darkness. Perhaps for the Jews, they have already experienced something.  It's darkness.

    Nazi Germany is killing the Jews, and they will lose their place in Europe.

    Some people hate the Jews, and some say how powerful the Jews are and how they control the world's economy and financial power. But in Song Biao's view, all of this is just a lie.

    The Jews are just a miserable but intelligent nation. They have their own history and their own customs. The most important of all customs is the emphasis on education and commerce. This is what they learned and retained during their long drifting history.  The two most important national characteristics that have been inherited are the Chinese people¡¯s diligence, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

    ¡°The Jews may be influential, or they may not be, and none of that matters.

    They are just a very normal but extraordinary nation, nothing more. Their tragedy originated from religion, and their success also originated from religion. From the beginning, China was willing to accept them.

    China is so tolerant and loving towards the Jewish nation.

    Jewish mutual aid associations and Jewish resettlement sites have been specially set up in the Sinian Prefecture of Liaoning Province, Tianjin Prefecture, Qingdao Prefecture of Shandong Province, Shanghai Direct Government, Fuzhou Prefecture, and the International Public Zone of Hong Kong. The Congress passed the Jewish Mutual Aid Act.  Allowing Jews to enter China's international public areas temporarily under any circumstances is tantamount to giving Jews a visa-free treaty, allowing Jews to take refuge in China's international public areas without any visas.

    Shanghai Yangpu International Park is actually a refuge specifically reserved for Jews. The central government and the Shanghai government have successively allocated funds to build infrastructure in the area and expanded tens of thousands of public rental housing. The police station and immigration bureau of the district can provide it to Shanghai as needed.  It provided temporary residence for the refugees and connected them with work, helping them to support themselves in China and survive the darkest moment in their history.

    Taking advantage of the special relationship with Germany and Poland, the Reich Foreign Ministry and the embassies in Germany and Poland continued to provide a large number of asylums for local Jews, issued hundreds of thousands of visas, and picked them up from Germany and Poland.

    Jews doing business in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Cathay also joined forces to donate money and regularly arranged ships to transport Jews from Europe to China. The China Charity Federation also arranged regular cruise ships to arrange such collective transfers to provide political asylum for Jews.

    Some Jews will take a boat to Shanghai after arriving in China, and most of them will stay in China to work under the arrangements of various associations and social institutions. Although most Jews do not have the kind of high knowledge and skills that China needs.  High-quality skills are not rich, but this is not necessarily directly related to the interests and needs of the empire.

    Put yourself in their shoes.

    If Southeast Asia continues to massacre Chinese people on a large scale, and China happens to be in a period of chaos, do people hope that a country will stand up and uphold justice, although that is impossible.

    Since China wants to be a real new world hegemon, it is necessary for ChinaMaintain the most common justice on this planet and protect justice.

    In addition to providing asylum protection to the Jews, the Reich also continued to provide protection to political refugees from the Soviet Union and Kazakhstan. Even if the Soviet Union claimed that those were deserters who had not fulfilled their obligations to the people, even if the Soviet Union claimed that those were political prisoners of Japan, the Reich would still provide protection to everyone.  The most basic guarantee.

    All this is because in this world, only the Chinese Empire can do these things.

    The Empire can defend justice without caring too much what the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany think.

    In 1940, there were more than 7.3 million foreigners living in the territory of the Chinese Empire, and about 1/2 of them had not yet become imperial citizens. As the empire firmly occupied the position of the most powerful country in the world,  More and more foreigners are pouring into the imperial territory in search of opportunities and survival.

    With the empire already having a population of more than 500 million, several million or even more than 10 million foreign nationalities will not surprise the empire. The empire welcomes highly educated foreign talents to join the empire¡¯s unlimited future, but it will also  We will not ruthlessly exclude those who are in pain or those who have new hopes.

    The world is like this.

    When there is no longer any suspense in the third Sino-Japanese War, when the empire adopts a circular blockade to block Japan on the barren home islands, even when the Soviet-German war is entering a decisive battle of life and death, as China  The empire returned to peace and stability, and the world seemed to become peaceful.

    Peace seems to have become a dream within reach again.

    U.K.

    It has become further and further away from the throne of world hegemony, but in the hearts of Churchill and British politicians, they still firmly believe in the greatness of the British Empire and the Anglo-Saxon nation, and refuse to accept the rise of the Chinese Empire again, and refuse to admit that the Chinese Empire has  Become the most powerful new empire in the world.

    USA.

    It stayed away from the war and exported military equipment and war resources to Germany and the Soviet Union. It had just lost an important market. The waterways from San Francisco to Tokyo and Osaka were completely closed. Don't even think about it.

    It can¡¯t wait to end the Sino-Japanese war. It wants to coordinate and threaten, but it is unable to change the situation. It is unwilling to take the risk of a head-on conflict with the Chinese Empire, although it is very clear that with the demise of the Japanese Empire, China  There will no longer be any fear, no country in Asia can contain China, and in the future, China and the United States will become frontal competitors in the Pacific.

    The United States wants to set up a military base in Guam, set up a new base for the Pacific Navy, and station the navy and air force to maintain deterrence against the Chinese navy. However, when China eliminated the Japanese troops stationed in the Mariana Islands, it took advantage of the fact that the United States had no presence on Guam.  Due to the special circumstances of the garrison, they took advantage of the chaos and occupied Guam, and established an air force base and radar station.

    Although China negotiated with the United States through diplomatic channels and promised to evacuate Guam after the war, the United States did not believe this. The U.S. Navy knew very well that once China occupied it for a long time, the connection between the United States and the Philippine colonies would be  It could easily be cut off, and the U.S. Navy would lose its deterrence in the Western Pacific.

    It¡¯s just that things are more complicated than simple judgment. Even without Guam, the Chinese navy still has Saipan, Rota, and distant Palau Islands bases in this area. No matter how hard it is, as long as China is not willing to let the United States deter the West,  Pacific Ocean, they can definitely do it.

    The United States hopes to finalize this matter with a formal diplomatic document. The two parties sign a lease agreement. China recognizes that the ownership of Guam belongs to the United States, and the United States will lend Guam's garrison and supervision rights to China for five to ten years. Terrible  China has never acknowledged this.

    China only recognizes that the United States has the right to supervise and occupy Guam, and sovereignty belongs to the Asian people themselves, that is, to the locals of the Mariana Islands.

    In other words, regardless of whether the United States agrees to the lease, China can obtain regulatory rights. As long as China openly supports and recognizes a Mariana Islands government and firmly pins the United States on the pillar of shame as an invader and colonizer, China can  The United States can be expelled from this sea area, and the U.S. Navy is now unwilling to fight the Chinese Navy over such a small matter.

    Taking a step back, even if the Chinese and American navies are at war, the United States may not be the opponent of the Chinese navy. When expressing this issue to President Roosevelt, the U.S. Navy has very clearly warned the President of the government that the U.S. Navy is in a  Among the major disadvantages, the U.S. government must pay attention to this issue and support the Department of the Navy's new shipbuilding plan and purchase a large number of aircraft carriers.

    Whether it was the Battle of Sandu'ao or the Battle of Jeju, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier-centered theory shocked the two major naval overlords, the United Kingdom and the United States. When the Chinese Navy's aviation system was in a state of warWhen the total number of aircraft carriers exceeds 20, the number of British and American aircraft carriers is only 1/3 of China's.

    This is the most bizarre moment in modern naval history, and it also means that the British and American navies combined may not be able to defeat the Chinese navy.

    Germany.

    Germany is continuing to promote its aggressive policy of marching towards the Soviet Union. In fact, the original plan of Hitler and the Nazi government was to attack France first for revenge, while also occupying European industries and resources, and finally attack the Soviet Union.

    Only with China¡¯s support and warning, Hitler was forced to launch a war plan to attack the Soviet Union in advance. Their progress was so smooth that it was enough to scare the world.

    France has turned to support the Soviet Union, hoping to use the Soviet Union to contain Nazi Germany as much as possible and consume Nazi Germany's military strength.

    Soviet Union.

    The Soviet Union is paying the price for its long-term policy of penetrating Central Asia. They cannot give up Kazakhstan. Even if China is willing to reconcile with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is not willing to believe China. In the preliminary agreement reached between Comrade Vyacheslav Molotov and China, Stalin  Undecided whether to abandon Central Asia in exchange for China's support in defending the Soviet Union.

    In fact, Stalin did not need to buy too much military equipment from China. He believed that the Soviet Union just needed more technical support and needed to produce more anti-aircraft guns and aluminum. The Soviet Red Army would definitely be able to defend the country and eliminate the Nazi German army.

    This also means that Stalin did not believe that it was necessary for the Soviet Union to give up the Kazakh region. Without control of this buffer zone, China's mechanized corps would have the opportunity to directly threaten the Soviet Union's homeland. This was a situation that Stalin was unwilling to accept.

    At the moment when China has officially become a world hegemon, this year, the world is also undergoing countless changes. Countries are looking for the most beneficial choice for their country in the chaotic situation.

    For Stalin, he still believed that China would not be able to endure Germany's occupation of the Soviet Union. In fact, the empire had already made all preparations for this. The empire also precisely hoped that Germany would eventually defeat the Soviet Union and occupy the Soviet Union, thus opening the door for the empire's Western Expedition.  A door to history.

    When Stalin decided to reject the preliminary Sino-Soviet secret treaty conditions reached by Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov and hoped to renegotiate a new secret treaty that was more beneficial to the Soviet Union and more in line with his hopes and requirements, the Great Western Expedition of the Chinese Empire  The paving has officially begun.  (To be continued.
