    Afghanistan is a magical place. Whenever an empire stands at the top of the world, it will attack Afghanistan. This often means that an empire is paving the way for decline. What is more tragic is that after the Soviet Union retreated, the country collapsed.  " Attacking Afghanistan has always been a headache for Zhang Tinglan. The heart of the Eurasian continent must be taken into his hands, but how to control Afghanistan and avoid following the old paths of other countries is a big trouble.  Just a few months ago, Afghanistan suffered a coup and King Amanullah was ousted.  This king was not a simple figure. He ascended the throne in 1919. In the same year, the British launched the third Anglo-Afghan War. A total of more than 30,000 British troops based in India stormed Afghanistan.  As a result, the well-equipped British army was defeated by the Afghans. Amanullah led Afghanistan to win independent status. For a small country, this is definitely not an easy task.  But it is really sad that this hero on the battlefield was deposed in a coup ten years later and went into exile in China.  At this time, Zhang Tinglan was walking side by side with the king. Amanula was not even 40 years old and was quite young. He just suffered a coup and looked very lonely.  Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Your Majesty the King, I have a presumptuous question. I wonder if I can ask it?" "Mr. President, some people suggested that I live in exile in India. Some people suggested that I go to the Soviet Union, but in the end I chose China. I just want to know what you are doing.  As far as I know, China and Afghanistan were in a similar situation ten years ago and were both controlled by foreign powers. However, China's reforms have made great achievements in recent years, while Afghanistan has been stuck in a quagmire.  Your Majesty, I heard that some of your reform measures are based on Turkey's and are also secularization. For example, you promulgated a constitution to replace religious laws and even encourage women to go to school, which is not allowed in Islam.  This change also shows that you sincerely hope that Afghanistan can become prosperous and strong. I also admire your courage. " Zhang Tinglan is not lying. If Afghanistan can follow Amanullah's path.  Maybe the religious power has been dismantled long ago.  "Your Majesty the King, with all due respect, these reforms of yours have not touched the fundamental problem, they are just scratching the surface." Amanullah looked confused and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. President, I am ready to implement the electoral system.  Isn¡¯t it enough to elect a democratically elected parliament, then implement the separation of church and state, allow men and women to go to co-education, and implement secular education?¡± ¡°Your Majesty, there is a poor man who lives across from a landlord. One day, the poor man discovered that the landlord had worn a coat.  If he wants a mink coat, he will wear a mink coat. He heard that the landlord eats eight dishes at a meal, so he also wants to eat eight dishes. When he sees the landlord buying a new car, he also wants to buy a car. He thinks that as long as the landlord makes  Whatever he does, he will be able to live like a landlord. Do you think this will work? " "Of course not. He is a poor man, how can he compare with the landlord?" Amanula has been a landlord for ten years after all.  The king's people, when he reached this point, he suddenly couldn't continue.  What he himself did was clearly the poor man Zhang Tinglan said, with no capital.  But if you want to completely imitate the West, no wonder there will be problems!  "Your Majesty the King, if poor people want to live like rich people, the most important thing is to make money. This is the most superficial thing. The same is true in national affairs. Gradually make the country richer and stronger, and then run at a small pace, constantly  Promoting various reforms is what we should do. However, we are blind to the truth and are deceived by some appearances in the West. We only see a little bit of it and are in a hurry.  Come on, if they let a heavily armed man train according to the standards of a competitive athlete, the country will be tortured to death sooner or later!¡± There were not many countries that copied the Western system, but after World War II, most of the countries that copied it were of two types.  The situation is one from hope to disappointment, and one from disappointment to despair.  What¡¯s even more paradoxical is that no country has completed industrialization under the condition of one person, one vote. This is a heavy slap in the face to those who brag about the West all day long.  ¡°In the final analysis, the reason is very simple, that is, economics determines politics. Without completing industrialization and accumulating a large amount of social wealth, there is no need to play such extravagant tricks as elections.  After hearing Zhang Tinglan¡¯s analysis, Amanula¡¯s forehead was already sweating. Looking back on the past, how many wrong things did he do?  He was driven out of the country this time, largely because he asked people across the country to wear suits and abandon their original clothes, so the problem arose.  "Mr. President, thank you for your advice. If I could have listened to your teachings earlier, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Zhang Tinglan smiled secretly in her heart. If I hadn't fallen to where I am today, I would probably?You won¡¯t really listen to yourself.  Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty the King, it's not too late to think clearly now. You still have a chance to make a comeback." Amanula's body suddenly shook and hesitantly asked: "Mr. President, are you willing to support me?" "Of course you can.  , but I suggest that you first accumulate strength on the border of Afghanistan, and then reorganize your political opinions on governing the country. As long as the time is right, you can counterattack Afghanistan. "The so-called political opinions were of course drafted with the help of China. This time, they are completely ignored.  Totally Westernized flashy stuff.  The main contents are two, the first is to enrich the country, and the second is to eliminate hunger.  Rich countries must make full use of Afghanistan¡¯s favorable terrain to launch trade.  Especially after China and Iran reached an arms sales contract, the relationship between the two countries has become closer and closer. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan is preparing to build a railway from Xinjiang through Afghanistan to Iran.  ¡° Later, Turkey can be brought in, so that Chinese goods can be sent to Europe via land.  It will be a huge boost to the economy along the way and also good news for China.  Once it is done, all Afghan businessmen will benefit from it, and it is obvious that these people will be pulled over.  As for the issue of hunger, Zhang Tinglan suggested China-Arab cooperation and exchanging minerals for food.  Although China has a large population, it is still self-sufficient, and Afghanistan's population is not too large, so it can be solved.  And Afghanistan¡¯s resources.  But it is quite amazing. It has a large amount of rare metal resources, such as chromium ore, which is an important raw material for the production of alloys. China's gap has always been very large.  And there is also a very large terraced copper mine.  As long as it is mined, China's defense industry will not have to worry.  In addition, the parts near Central Asia are already controlled by China at this time. These areas contain large amounts of natural gas and oil. Once developed, they will be a huge source of wealth.  It is not difficult to get rich in Afghanistan.  In fact, just like a certain big country in later generations, if it is willing to spend one-tenth of its war funds and truly invest in Afghanistan, it will definitely not end up with nothing.  This is also the difference between Western countries and the Eastern world. Zhang Tinglan has ambitions for Afghanistan, but he will not think about conquering Afghanistan.  Let's all sit together and discuss how to get rich and become well-off!  Zhang Tinglan stayed in Dihua for half a month, deployed the action plan for Afghanistan in detail, and helped Amanullah regroup the team and sent it to the China-Afghanistan border for training, waiting for the right time.  After the chess piece fell, Zhang Tinglan slowly returned to the capital.  In fact, he was not needed for this kind of thing.  But in order to avoid peace, he had no choice but to run away.  In fact, during the time Zhang Tinglan left, the capital was in chaos.  The stock market and enterprises have touched the sore spots of some people. They are absolutely unwilling to change, but Zhang Tinglan has made up his mind, and there is nothing they can do.  The first thing to be reformed was the military. The original military welfare company was completely disbanded. Soldiers only enjoyed official state treatment, and all other things were eliminated.  In addition, officers at all levels are not involved in any business operations. Soldiers have only one mission.  That is responsible for fighting the war.  The military is often the most difficult place to reform, but Zhang Tinglan has unparalleled prestige. After the order is issued, it is quickly implemented.  An officer suspected of violating laws and regulations and abusing his power for personal gain.  Hundreds of people were thoroughly investigated, including 11 with general rank.  After the military dealt with it, the government also made detailed regulations and established an independent National Capital Management Committee. This committee is headed by a deputy prime minister full-time and is only responsible to the president.  His mission is to manage all state-owned assets and ensure the effective operation of state-owned shares.  In addition, no one from the government can directly intervene in the operation of the enterprise.  Enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel, Dalian Shipyard, Jiangnan Captain, Wuhan Aircraft Factory, etc., all state-owned shares are clearly divided. It should belong to the government, no less, and it should not belong to the government, not at all. Enterprises must be fully allowed to operate independently.  power.  Once the equity is clearly divided, the responsibilities are also clear. Who should do what and who can control what are all detailed boundaries. No one should cross the boundaries. This will avoid corruption and abuse of power for personal gain to the greatest extent.  Zhang Tinglan also announced two decrees that all administrative officials, immediate family members and spouses are not allowed to establish companies alone, nor are they allowed to form partnerships or joint ventures with other people.  Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished and may even be directly dismissed from office. If there is an issue of abusing power for personal gain, it should be dealt with by the judicial authorities.  The second order is the property disclosure system, which is also a very important anti-corruption measure.  The so-called official property disclosure does not mean that all civil servants¡¯ property must be disclosed, and it is not done in this way in the world. It is a person¡¯s personal secret and is sacred and inviolable.  In the Western world, there are only?Officials elected by direct voting must be publicly announced. After all, if you want to elect, you must accept public scrutiny.  The disclosure system formulated by Zhang Tinglan covers the president, prime minister, ministers and deputy ministers of various ministries. Only these people need to disclose their property and accept real-time supervision.  Zhang Tinglan made a special request that if anyone is found to have assets abroad, he will be severely punished.  If other officials discover overseas property, they must also deal with it once verified.  These two regulations are equivalent to putting a tight spell on all officials.  The originally complicated relationship between politics and business was suddenly unraveled. Zhang Tinglan's attitude was very clear. If you want to have power, don't think about being rich. You can only choose one of the two. If you want to take advantage of both, you must have selfish motives and there will be problems.  !  As the president, Zhang Tinglan also takes the lead in setting an example. His property is fully disclosed, and all expenses of the presidential residence are also transparent.  It's just that Zhang Tinglan and his family have a lot of property. If all these things were released, the amount would be too scary.  Therefore, Zhang Tinglan had already disposed of all his domestic property. As for the foreign part, he transferred it to the National Development Fund account. In name, Zhang Tinglan became a complete poor person.  Of course, when it comes to his status, money is just a symbol. Whether it is there or not, it doesn't matter.  But after all, in order to regulate the officialdom and all walks of life in politics and business, he must make a cut. This attitude is very important, at least not to leave any leverage for political opponents.  These measures undoubtedly violated the interests of the bureaucracy. People from politics, business, military, and all walks of life came out to stop Zhang Tinglan's actions, but no one could find Zhang Tinglan.  By the time he returned to Beijing, all the work had already begun, and the media had already publicized it. After all, no one could object.  The reshuffle of domestic politics began, but Zhang Tinglan¡¯s attention turned abroad again. Thirty years later, the economic crisis is getting deeper and deeper, and the economy shows no signs of recovery.  Moreover, the Americans came up with another extremely stupid law, which is the "Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act". This law revised the import tax rates of 1,125 kinds of goods, of which 890 kinds of goods had increased tax rates, and 50 kinds of goods  Goods have been changed from tax-free to taxable.  Since then, countries around the world have fallen into a tariff war. Every country has desperately raised tariffs and created barriers, and a trade war has begun again.  ??Already mired in an economic crisis, it ended up imposing trade barriers. The consequences can be imagined, that is, the volume of international trade was directly cut in half, and the exports of the United States, which was the first to initiate the trade war, were reduced by more than half.  This bill will make countries continue to sink in the economic crisis and make recovery more difficult.  However, the more this happens, the more opportunities there are for China. After Zhang Tinglan returned to Beijing, he immediately launched a bargain-hunting operation.  The huge resources held by China have become the capital to search for the best products since the industrial revolution. Zhang Tinglan immediately sent a government procurement team led by Gu Weijun and Tao Jiping to the United States.  At the same time, private headhunting companies and purchasing managers quickly poured into the United States like a swarm of bees.  His goal is very clear. People, equipment, technology, as long as he can see it, all will be brought back to China.  On the streets of major industrial cities in the United States, including New York, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and other areas, you can see Chinese leather bag companies. These people are wealthy and will immediately recruit suitable talents.  In addition to them, Tang Shaoyi, Kuang Rongguang and others who had studied in the United States in the early years had really drawn up a list of top scientific research talents that needed to be recruited, and a huge bargain-hunting operation began.
