Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Thursday, March 8, 1646.

    A late-spring snow has covered most of the beautiful towns north of the 40th parallel on the east coast of North America, but almost all big city industrial areas have entered into full swing mode.

    The military oppression and diplomacy against France is still increasing, but in the south of North America, the Marine Corps is ready to go, ready to land in Florida with the support of the Caribbean Fleet.  In the direction of Quebec, the Home Fleet has blocked the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Two infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion of the Home Army have completed the season in Xufu City, Yunzhou. Once the weather in Quebec warms up, they will prepare to move north along the southern shore of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, starting from the interior.  The French colony invaded Quebec.

    In Europe, the Kingdom of Spain, which has entered the final stage of its desperate struggle, is trying to take advantage of the tense relationship between China, the United States and France, and seize the last life-saving straw in an attempt to make a comeback.  The Principality of Emden is still as arrogant as if it were on steroids. Under Huamei's behind-the-scenes instructions, it is at war with the Kingdom of Sweden over the battle for L¨¹beck, the important trade town on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.

    In Portugal, the news that Muscat, the core trading colony of the Persian Gulf in the Indian Ocean, was captured by the Arabs made the Portuguese royal family heartbroken. The nobles and businessmen were in a state of madness. The clamor for an expeditionary force could almost shatter the Chinese Consulate in Lisbon.  window glass.

    All these combined together set off the abnormal and vigorous arms production in Huamei after the spring of 1646.

    The large-scale steam horizontal boring machine recently put into use by Norinco is not used to process steel rifled cannons dedicated to the Chinese and American navies. Instead, it is used to process old-fashioned muzzle-loading cannons exported to Europe.

    In view of the higher cost of the 34a breech-loaded flintlock gun and the more time-consuming production and processing, the General Industrial Group simply opened the long-standing backup production line of the 21b flintlock gun, and transferred a large number of skilled technicians from other production departments. The production profit rate was relatively high in three shifts a day.  Taller 21b muzzle-loading flintlock rifle.

    The production factory opened by Yang Wenwen Life Art Group in the Governor-General of the Azores in the United States went even further. It took the risk of possible default and directly shipped tens of thousands of pairs of domestic standard military boots and boots that should have been shipped back to the country for delivery to the country's military.  Ten thousand military blankets and thousands of military tents were delivered to the merchant ship bound for Emden.

    Even the Saltpeter Company, a subsidiary of the state-owned Energy and Mining Group on the Caribbean island of Barbados, is getting excited this time. Cargo ships carrying thousands of tons of pure saltpeter produced from biological saltpeter fields have turned around and headed directly to Europe.

    You said these are industrial raw materials ordered by Nanshan Fertilizer Company to produce fertilizers?  Go to hell, even if you pay liquidated damages, it's still a huge profit deal.  What's more, there is not enough local food to eat now, and food prices are falling again and again. Who cares if there is still no use for producing so much fertilizer!

    ??Fresh graduates from secondary vocational training schools in Manchester City, Qingcheng City and Yacheng City.  Before the formal graduation in the summer, various production expansion companies were taken away from the school in advance in the name of providing "paid internship opportunities", and a group of young people whose hair had not yet fallen off were rushed to the official production line.  superior.

    Large-scale military industrial conglomerates began to enter production capacity explosion mode, which naturally greatly increased the demand for related raw materials and semi-finished products in the production chain. For a while, almost all local suppliers were making full efforts to expand production.

    Is overseas import and export trade shrinking?  No no no.  That is definitely an illusion!  Dude, he's so busy right now, but who the hell is going to have trouble with overtime pay?

    Coupled with the massive infrastructure construction in full swing in various parts of China and the United States, and such a large increase in industrial output, the Huamei economy in 1646 was a good start.

    As soon as the strong economic engine led by the military industry was running, the whole country was excited. Even the Binzhou local council had jointly published crazy remarks in the newspaper that war should be declared on France as soon as possible.

    "But the National Security Council, which controls the country's internal and external strategic security, has entered a calm mode that makes people confused.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    This year¡¯s Senate election and presidential change have also brought about some changes in the members of the new National Security Council.

    ¡°Several elders have withdrawn. Except for Senate President Qi Jianjun, who serves as the chairman of the committee as usual, there are now few people over the age of sixty found in the National Security Council.

    One of the committee members, Admiral Zhang Chunrui, withdrew due to illness.  At this time, Lieutenant General Sun Yang, Chief of the Naval General Staff, came in as a substitute for the military representative.

    Foreign Minister Shi Wenbo is on his way to Lisbon, Portugal, preparing to participate in the fifth North American and Atlantic Economic Forum held in Europe for the first time, and Vice Minister Dai Botong is also arguing with French diplomats in Nantes, France, so this time the national security  For the first time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was absent from the committee meeting.

    Regardless of whether Minister Yan Xiaosong also left for Ireland a week ago,Visited the Irish Catholic Union and the House of Lords to deal with a series of matters on "how to ease the Anglo-Irish conflict" and "protect the Chinese and American investment environment in Ireland".

    ¡°In addition, Homeland Security Minister Fan Li chose to take a long-term leave in grief because his gentle and virtuous first wife, a deaf-mute wife, unfortunately died of illness. Therefore, the only cabinet representatives are Prime Minister Guan Ruzhong and Defense Minister Zheng Quan.

    Apart from that, he is the only one who has maintained his status as a committee member for many years.  That is Su Zining, Secretary General of the National Security Council.

    The document now placed in front of several committee members was sent from the Far Eastern Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The content is classified as top-level encryption, which means that only the committee members on site are qualified to read it immediately.  If Prime Minister Guan Ruzhong is not a member of the committee.  Then he can only learn the content after a period of time.

    ¡°It¡¯s been three days, we can¡¯t delay any longer and must give an accurate reply.¡±

    Qi Jianjun has more gray hair these days and is more tired. Only the light in his eyes can reveal his current cautious and anxious mood.

    "The fleet responsible for Japan's operations is scheduled to sail next Tuesday. I agree with Jin Xiaohan's opinion. Relevant diplomatic contact operations can be authorized and entrusted to the Asia Fleet. Jin Xiaohan himself still has to focus on solving the problem of senior officials and coordination work."

    As the representative of the military, Navy Vice Admiral Sun Yang naturally fully supports the military's replacement of the unable Jin Xiaohan to deal with the Japanese issue.  This is not the first time that military personnel are authorized to handle diplomatic work, because Sun Yang himself was authorized by the cabinet to handle Batavia's diplomatic work more than ten years ago.

    "Sanyu also served as the commercial counselor of the Consulate General in Iberia in Europe. Although he is still very young, he is very good at economic and commercial diplomatic work. He completed the previous Mediterranean trade strategy proposal alone. He will replace him.  I don¡¯t think there will be any problem with Jin Xiaohan and Zhao Youheng negotiating the ¡®Local Trade Services Agreement¡¯.¡±

    Guan Ruzhong liked this new talent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs very much, so he also agreed with Jin Xiaohan's proposal.

    "These are all simple little troubles. Is it okay to let Sanyu and Wen Yujun replace Jin Xiaohan as envoys to the Luwang Group in East Zhejiang and be responsible for implementing the second plan of the 'Far East Crown Project'? Two little guys  A young man is involved in such a top-secret matter. Even Jin Xiaohan is a little inexperienced, and the risks are really unpredictable. This second plan is simply ridiculous!"

    Defense Minister Zheng Quan apparently still objects to the core content of this top-level encrypted document.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Far East Crown Plan", to put it simply, is a non-historical strategic plan formulated by Fan Li last year in response to the Manchu Qing's southward march, the internal strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong's serious impact on the strategic interests of China and America in East Asia.

    The fundamentals of the Far East Crown Project are that the Chinese and American governments will directly come forward.  Unite Da Yuan, Lu Song, and Lan Fang to fully support the Luwang Group in eastern Zhejiang, and then use the emerging landlord and comprador group in Guangdong as the front to cultivate a pro-China and American Nanming regime south of the Yangtze River.

    The core of the plan is to help King Lu and the Guangdong New Army counterattack Nanjing.  As long as the new Guangdong army supporting King Lu enters Nanjing, King Lu's legitimacy will be strengthened like never before.

    For this purpose, Fan Li designed a three-step plan of "save people and lose territory", "kill people with borrowed swords" and "defend first and then attack".

    In the first step, when the Qing Dynasty broke through the Qiantang River defense line, an amphibious joint fleet was formed with the Eastern Brigade of the National Defense Force, the main force of the Asian Fleet, and the Yan family navy, responsible for transferring the remaining effective forces of the Luwang Group in eastern Zhejiang to Zhoushan.  , and Huang Binqing, the commander-in-chief of Zhoushan, who defected to the Zheng family and the Longwu court, was absolutely unstoppable.

    Historically, the Luwang Group in East Zhejiang did flee Zhoushan when it was at the end of its rope, and was almost killed by Huang Binqing. It also lost the chance to make a comeback due to a series of subsequent internal conflicts.  A group of capable anti-Qing officials died or dispersed, and eventually King Lu also died of illness overseas.

    Now with the strength of the Chinese and American Navy's Asian Fleet and the Eastern Brigade, coupled with the cooperation of the Yan family, and the help of Zhao Youheng and Xiao Yifu, it is fully capable of preserving the dying King Lu Group in eastern Zhejiang, thereby achieving the goal of supporting King Lu to ascend to the throne.  strategic purpose.

    In the second step, after the Luwang Group in East Zhejiang moved to Zhoushan under the protection of Huamei and the Yan family, Huamei entered a wait-and-see mode and allowed the Manchus to invade Fujian.

    Zhejiang will inevitably fall, as the Zheng Zhilong Group is not good at land warfare.  It is absolutely impossible to stop the nearly 200,000 Qing troops entering Fujian.  Once Fujian fell, Zheng Zhilong would inevitably lose his foothold in the Ming Dynasty mainland.

    This strategy of killing with a borrowed knife has a high probability of replaying the historical script: Zheng Zhilong faced military pressure from the Qing Dynasty and had to accept Hong Chengchou's temptation.  Risking the risk of triggering internal strife in the Zheng family and making another highly speculative surrender, leaving the family behind.??Ten thousand years.

    Historically, although Zheng Zhilong was the helmsman of the Zheng family group, after the establishment of the Longwu court, his political speculation gradually diverged from that of other members of the family group.

    The second brother Zheng Zhihu, who should have died early in history, is still alive. It is said that this man was very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong for holding the Longwu government hostage and passively resisting the Qing Dynasty.

    Especially regarding the issue of resistance to Qing Dynasty.  Except for the two youngest brothers Zheng Zhipeng and Zheng Zhibao, who were completely obedient, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Hongkui, who were the most obedient in the past, almost fell out with him. Zheng Cai, who was favored by Emperor Longwu, gradually developed his own independent ambitions, not to mention determination.  Zheng Chenggong, his own son, opposed the surrender of the Manchus to the Qing Dynasty.

    The Zheng family group fell apart in an instant in history, not because of the direct military attack of the Qing Dynasty, but because of the internal strife and division after Zheng Zhilong surrendered.

    Even if Zheng Zhilong did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent Zheng Zhilong from jumping over the wall, the Yan family generals, together with Lan Fang and the Luzon navy, concentrated all the main forces to attack and occupy Penghu, and cooperated with the Chinese and American navy to withdraw from the northern Fujian front line and seal off Zheng Zhilong's navy heading south.  In the coastal ports of southern Fujian, let Manqing eat a big fat man in one breath and completely eradicate the number one maritime warlord in the Far East who has dominated the East Asian ocean for twenty years.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT!

    The third step, which is considered the most natural one, is that after the Zheng Zhilong Group was destroyed, the Eastern Brigade, Brown Bear Brigade and Volunteer Brigade of the Chinese and American Army landed in Guangdong to help the Guangdong New Army prevent the Manchus from Jiangxi, Fujian and even Huguang.  A crazy wave of attacks.  With absolute land warfare strength, he killed a large number of Manchu generals and troops.

    The next step is even simpler. The Qing Dynasty failed to move south and had to retreat strategically.  At that time, the Chinese and American Navy will provide cover, and the Eastern Brigade, the Yan family, and the remnants of King Lu will complete the final blow.  Starting from Zhoushan, they broke into the Yangtze River Estuary by sea and stormed Nanjing. They cooperated with the Brown Bear Brigade, the Volunteer Brigade and the Guangdong New Army from the north of Guangdong to outflank and annihilate the remaining Qing troops in Fujian and Zhejiang.

    King Lu became the largest power in the Southern Ming Dynasty and formed a division of rivers with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  There was time and space to complete the unification of the southern regime, and it would never be able to leave the support of China and the United States again. The Far East Crown Project was successfully completed.

    Fan Li's Far East Crown Plan can be said to have made full use of history and the inertia of the current situation, and created a new direction that is different from history. It has also completed the phased harvest of Huamei's strategic interests in the Far East and greatly catered to Eastern United.  The appetite of domestic capitalists led by the group.

    When this plan was secretly passed by the National Security Council and Congress last fall, Jin Xiaohan started active preparations in the Far East. The Naval Command and the Ministry of National Defense continued to strengthen the Asian fleet. The Eastern Alliance Group and the state-owned Ocean Ocean  Transportation groups are also gradually gathering transportation capacity and strategic materials to the Far East in order to complete this strategic plan.

    The most important aspects now.  Due to the serious loss of the Yan family's military strength, it could not be implemented, which resulted in major loopholes in the distribution of the gorgeous Far East power. In a sense, this Far East Crown Plan has existed in name only.

    Jin Xiaohan¡¯s No. 2 improvement plan can be said to be beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.  The biggest change is that the first step has almost completely changed.

    Instead of carrying out the large-scale Zhoushan evacuation operation of the King Lu Group in East Zhejiang, they directly rescued King Lu and a few others from East Zhejiang and transported them to Guangzhou by sea!

    But this will inevitably cause a direct political conflict between the Luwang Group in East Zhejiang and the Xinxing Landowner Group in Guangdong.  The political appeal of those old migrant bureaucrats from eastern Zhejiang may not necessarily be something Zhao Youheng is capable of dealing with face to face.  It is even possible for the former to unite with the pro-Gui faction that separates Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou to remove the fruits of Zhao Youheng's hard work in Guangdong.

    Forcing Zhao Youheng and the Guangdong Xinxing Landowner Group to speak with their fists?  In history, Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Yongli fought against each other in Guangdong, which was extremely absurd.

    to be honest.  It is no small matter that another large-scale internal strife occurs in Guangdong. Guangdong will be destroyed soon, and Huamei will be unpopular regardless of whether it intervenes or not.

    How can we ensure that the direction of the situation is completely in Huamei's hands?  There are only two possible methods: abandoning the car to keep the handsome, and dying of the old to welcome the new.

    To sacrifice one¡¯s car and keep one¡¯s commander is to selectively select from the East Zhejiang Group a very small number of ¡°simple-minded¡± young and strong officials with junior qualifications and the strongest will to resist the Qing Dynasty.  All the other old guys died early and were born early.

    When these people arrived in Guangdong, although they continued to maintain their rightful reputation as supporting Lu, due to their small number and weak political roots, they were absolutely unable to challenge the political alliance between Zhao Youheng and the emerging landlord groups in Guangdong.

    To die and welcome the new is to secretly kill King Lu during the retreat at seaZhu Yihai.  Instead, he only protected an underage son of Zhu Yihai and retreated to Guangdong.

    " In this case, the Guangdong Xinxing Landlord Group and Zhao Youheng can control the overall situation without being bound by the authority of an adult imperial authority, and can achieve maximum gains in terms of moral and practical political interests.

    With Guangdong as the strategic rear area, we supported an emperor to establish a new Nanming regime. After the Manchu and Qing dynasties annihilated the Zheng Zhilong Group, they carried out strategic defense, accumulated strength, and gradually counterattacked Fujian, Zhejiang, and Huguang, and finally divided the river with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to rule.

    Although this kind of plan improvement takes a long time, it reduces many complicated links. It only requires Huamei's existing forces deployed in the Far East, and it does not even require the participation of the Yan family's army.  Throughout, Hua Mei is a messianic figure.

    ¡°In the future, whether it is the new Nanming Small Court, Zhao Youheng or the emerging landlord groups in Guangdong who are at the forefront of the storm, they will rely more on Huamei and trust Huamei than originally planned.

    Having a large number of anti-Qing officials and active forces in Fujian and Zhejiang be annihilated by the Qing Dynasty, and even letting the King of Lu Zhu Yihai die unexpectedly, to complete the ascension of the puppet emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, this has to be said to be a dirty method that does not compromise the means to achieve the goal.

    This is not "reducing secondary directions and consolidating core strategies". It is simply modifying the core script, which is even more shameless than Fan Liyuan's plan.

    The final result is probably more frightening than Fan Li's "New Ming Empire" model: the new Ming government, whose political center has moved south to Guangdong, is too simplistic to say it is pro-American, and is likely to completely become the superpower of Guangdong's emerging landlord and comprador groups.  puppet.  It also became a super cash machine during the confrontation between the north and the south during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the long-running Eastern Union Group.

    Especially for the landlords and compradors in Guangdong who have been disgusted by the conservative old bureaucratic group in the north for nearly a hundred years, once they grab a chess piece by their side, they will never let it go, coupled with the close infiltration of the Eastern Union Group.  The future Ming Empire is likely to go down the road of semi-colonial and semi-feudal forever.

    Can history go like this again?  Don¡¯t have too many unpredictable things, don¡¯t have too many unscrupulous and unscrupulous things that challenge your limits!  This is why Jin Xiaohan requested top-level encryption and gave the National Security Council a headache for three days.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    An hour passed, and almost no one spoke in the conference room. There was only the rhythmic tapping sound of Qi Jianjun's fingers on the table.

    "I suggest that the Far East Crown Plan be terminated! Directly implement the earliest plan: concentrate the strength of three brigades. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty swept Fujian and defeated Zheng Zhilong, we landed in Tianjin and raided the Manchu Qing's old nest! Simple and direct, not so many crooked ways!  "

    "Xiao Jin has also stayed in the Far East for long enough. Guan Ruzhong, I suggest you transfer him back to the country. He is still young, and with his abilities, he should not be limited to a corner of the world, but should be trained on a larger scale.  If we stay in the Far East any longer, our hearts will become wild"

    Zheng Quan spoke.  It seemed that he had been completely defeated by Jin Xiaohan's super boldness and was also full of disappointment.

    Looking at the sad and distressed expressions on the faces of all the old people present, Su Zining felt an indescribable worry in his heart.

    This worry is the same as when I saw everyone making a fuss at the Congressional meeting more than a month ago but unable to solve the actual problem.

    Are you going to delay it again?  Or is it that if you don¡¯t get the satisfactory results you want, you have to deny your efforts?  Su Zining was a little tired of this feeling.

    "Su Zining, judging from your expression, you seem to have an idea?" Suddenly, Qi Jianjun brought up the tea.

    Qi Jianjun¡¯s words attracted the attention of everyone present.

    "Lao Qi, Lao Zheng, I think everyone is a little disappointed with Jin Xiaohan. Are you ready to replace him?"

    Su Zining dropped the document in his hand and stood up slowly.

    "I know that there is a secret list in China. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I know that it is a 'successor training' list. Jin Xiaohan is one of them. If I am not wrong, he is still number one  There are several echelon successors like him, all of whom we have focused on cultivating over the years."

    "We should have dedicated people to observe and record their performance, and continue to give them more training opportunities and power. Lao Fan was transferred back from the Far East, and Jin Xiaohan took over the important diplomatic responsibilities of the Far East at the age of thirty-five. He even had a lot of arbitrary power.  It should be the idea of ??cultivating successors."

    "And I have been sitting on the bench all these years. It is not so much my personal choice, but someone just put me in a position that can be used but cannot be reused. I think it is also because of some bad things I did when I was young.  The price of good ideas.¡±

    In front of a crowd of elderly people, the long-lost sound of the shit-stirring stick came out again.??, and as always the intention is weird and bold.  Su Zining's words were calm, but some people at the scene showed noncommittal expressions, including Qi Jianjun and Zheng Quan.

    And Navy Vice Admiral Sun Yang, who was younger than Su Zining, looked at several older people with unfriendly eyes.

    Because Sun Yang had already learned from some channels that his path to compete for the next Commander-in-Chief of the Navy was basically blocked, and Lieutenant General Wen Tuo, the commander of the local fleet who was one year younger than himself, had already been appointed to succeed Wang Tiechui in the future.  position after retirement.

    ¡° Recalling what Su Zining said through the skylight just now, it¡¯s surprising that Sun Yang¡¯s mood improved.

    "Lao Qi, Lao Zheng, are we going to continue to be parents like this? It seems like we are secretly assigning a series of homework assignments behind the scenes, and then seeing who is closest to our standard answer, the more hopeful. This kind of propositional  Is the assessment model really what we need for our future successors?"

    "Su Zining, what do you mean?"

    Putting down the tea cup, Qi Jianjun asked softly, while Zheng Quan closed his eyes and looked a little ugly.

    "Everyone, I think we seem to have done something wrong." Su Zining sat back and turned the document into a volume.  Slowly stroking it, he said: "The future of this country is very important, and our feelings about our family and country are also very important. But whose future belongs to us? Who should this feeling belong to? I think it definitely shouldn't belong to us here, right?"  "

    "It is a good thing to travel through time, and it can indeed express our unrealized dreams of striving for it. But no matter how we express our life ideals, it is no longer a purely personal value orientation."

    "The future belongs to the younger generation, but our assessment methods are all based on our own thoughts and positions. Have we thought about their own thoughts and positions? In the next few decades, we will truly face the challenges inside and outside this country.  The problem is them. If they are not mentally prepared now. In other words, we do not care about their thoughts, do not understand their positions, and do not recognize their efforts. Then who can guarantee that the tone we have set will go smoothly?  Go down?"

    "Now all walks of life are giving young people opportunities and allowing them to participate. Then we should let these successors judge, think and handle by themselves instead of us designing standard answers."

    "For more than 20 years, we have trained countless engineers, scholars, soldiers and obedient bureaucrats. We have even secretly drawn up the lists of second- and third-generation successors. But we have not really cultivated them from the perspective of successors.  A team that can truly design and implement the country¡¯s future development just wants them to tolerate our concerns and learn our way of thinking and doing things.¡±

    "In the congressional meeting before the Spring Festival, we once again lost to ourselves in the collision of strategic issues in the Far East, and today is no exception. We are indeed wavering on this issue. Do we hope that the next generation of successors will be like us?  Worrying about gains and losses?"

    After Su Zining finished speaking, he threw the papers rolled up in his hands into the trash can next to him.

    "I don't agree with Xiao Su's opinion!" Zheng Quan opened his eyes and showed a scary expression.  It seems that he is very dissatisfied with Su Zining's accusation, "The country is still in the early stage of development, and unified thinking and stability are above all else! All top-level designs and policy guidance we do are subject to risk assessment. We are responsible for the future of this country! Moreover,  We just observe them and guide them behind the scenes, and we do not draw strict boundaries on their behavior and thoughts. Therefore, I don¡¯t agree with the paternalistic propositional assessment!"

    "Is everything true?" Su Zining smiled and shook his head.  Pointing his finger at his heart, "I don't deny that unity of thought is above all else, and our forward-looking approach makes it easier to ensure the stability of the country. But who among the people in Congress or the cabinet dares to say that he or she has complete care for this country?"  Heart¡¯s love?¡±

    "This country was built by us. We all think that we are conscientious and have a clear conscience. It is normal to worry about the future of the country and its successor. However, I am absolutely sure that at least half of our bodies and minds are not in this country.  Not in this time and space. In terms of heartfelt identification with this country, I am afraid that it is far inferior to young people like San Yu, Zhou Bitang, Hu Huan, Zhou Ping, Yan Xianfeng, and Jin Xiaohan!"

    "We have historical baggage, but they don't; many of our thoughts and actions are subconscious revenge for history, but they don't; we think more about our past feelings, but they don't. This is the real difference between us and these young people."

    "We have been talking about patriotic education, but what is its essence? It is just to make the people love us and obey us, because we seem so lonely and fragile in this world. But do we really have a heartfelt attachment to this republic?  ?¡±

    ¡°In the dark side of many of us, we must notWhen the time comes, you can even abandon this country immediately and go to Europe or the Ming Dynasty.  Even when we get old, we still wonder whether the world is real and whether we are dreaming.  But our descendants will not. In their understanding of history, there are no ifs, no second possibilities, and there is no such thing as time travel. For them, this country is the place where they were born and raised, not another time and space.  A piece of land, this is the country they protect with their lives!  "

    "We have no real sense of awe or belonging to this country until we are old. How can we choose and guide our successors? Do we want them to be like us? Or, we can only be like us.  Who can be the successor?"

    There was another series of rhetorical questions, each sentence harsh.

    Su Zining¡¯s words sounded like he was changing the topic or evading responsibility.  But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed the case.

    "So what?" Several people, including Zheng Quan, couldn't help but ask.

    ¡°Whether objectively or subjectively, we need to truly get in touch with young people¡¯s views and insights on the world structure, and think about the direction they may choose, not yours, mine, or the State of the Union address year after year.  It has been deliberately processed by us to make ourselves comfortable."

    "I suggest that everyone present consider sending more outstanding young people to the Far East, to Europe, and to other parts of the world. Don't be afraid of them learning about the world, let alone their views and stance on this country and the world.  How different we are.¡±

    "In order for them to truly become the future leaders of this country, they must see it with their own eyes, experience it with their own eyes, and do it with their own hands. They can think through, summarize, understand, and even learn a lesson.  It¡¯s more important than us being here obsessing over it and being indecisive!¡±

    "Jin Xiaohan and others, and even our younger descendants, have accepted our education model, so we should also accept their way of understanding the feelings of the nation and country. We have been bound by some old views and ideological baggage for too long.  We increasingly don¡¯t know how to do it. And sooner or later, our wishful thinking or the obstacles and misunderstandings we have created for this country will be overturned and corrected by future generations."

    "Those present are all sensible people who put aside personal honor and disgrace. Therefore, our only criterion for judging whether a successor is qualified is who loves this country more and whose thoughts are more responsible for this country!"

    After Su Zining finished speaking, he remained as calm and nonchalant as ever, and everyone fell into deep thought.

    ¡°After all, this country was driven by a group of young people from the beginning.  More than 20 years ago, how many people here had the ideal to truly build a great country?

    Who dares to say that Jin Xiaohan¡¯s plan No. 2 is definitely the most disrespectful beginning to Huamei and the time-traveling community?

    Su Zining slowly turned his head towards the window, seeming to be thinking about this issue as well.

    "In this case, the differences must be resolved. Let's vote now by a show of hands. Those who oppose Jin Xiaohan's plan No. 2 should raise their hands. If there are a majority of opponents, another plan will be drawn up."

    Qi Jianjun stood up and showed a serious expression.

    His words are very meaningful. He only talks about who is opposed, not who agrees or abstains.

    Only Zheng Quan raised his hand, and the others did not move.  (To be continued.)
