Chapter 187 Communication between Father-in-law and Son-in-law
On the top deck of the cruise ship from Hujiang to San Francisco, the United States, Ye Xiaoyang and his father-in-law Zhang Qiwen were watching the sunset.
"Dad, you seem to be worried all the time?"
"Yang'er, I'm not considered a deserter, am I?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are many kinds of patriotism. It doesn't necessarily require everyone to carry a gun and fight against the Japanese devils."
"I understand the logic, but I just can't get over it psychologically."
"Dad, you're a history professor, so you should understand how to look at things from a longer timeframe to see things more clearly.
The war against Japan will surely be successful, but what will happen after victory?
In a two-party war, one side prevails and the other exits the historical stage. And then what? The establishment of a new China.
And then what? "
"It is the development and construction of New China, and the construction and development of New China requires a large number of talents.
Yes! I am going to San Francisco to run a school and train talents for the construction and development of New China."
After Zhang Qiwen finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.
"Dad, do you still think you're a deserter?"
"No, I can't carry a gun in China. I am just teaching history at Jinling Central University, so my value is limited.
If I run the school in the Jiangnan town well, I can cultivate many basic talents.
It will take at least eight to ten years to establish New China, and I must make good use of this time."
At this time, Zhang Yudie brought over a plate of fruit.
"Yudie, thank you!"
"Xiaoyang, I don't deserve thanks for what I've done."
"Die'er, you and Xiaoyang need to work harder and have more children. One child is too few."
"Dad, don't put pressure on Yudie, just let it go. Yudie likes children, and I like children too.
We are still young and can always have more children.”
Zhang Yudie felt embarrassed. She put down the fruit plate and went to her mother Xiao Huiping's room.
"Yang'er, you are not in China, are you worried about the brothers in the special forces team?
I wonder how the Star City defense battle is going. Can the Deep Blue government hold on?"
"Dad, I'm not worried about the brothers in the special forces squad at all. They have a way to fight the Japanese devils.
As for the defense of Star City, we can definitely hold it."
"You have a secret weapon?"
"It's not really a secret weapon, just some preparation."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"I didn't tell you when I was in Hujiang before, but now I'm going to San Francisco. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't like the deep blue government.
You have many connections with high-ranking officials in the Deep Blue government.”
"Yang'er, do you mean that if the Japanese devils are driven out of China and the two parties fight a decisive battle, the Deep Blue Party will lose?"
"Well, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few. Our ancestors told us this two thousand years ago."
“How come you see?”
"The top brass of the Deep Blue government are too greedy. They only care about the interests of Zhejiang businessmen and don't care about the Chinese people at all.
"If they can do something like the Yellow River bursting its banks, how can you expect the people to trust such a government?"
"Yes! Yes! The Yellow River burst its banks and killed millions of civilians. The Japanese invaders killed 300,000 civilians in Nanjing during the Nanjing Massacre. I can't accept it in my heart."
"Jinling is your old hometown, and the Yellow River drowned the people of Hubei and Henan provinces.
What do the people of these two provinces think of the deep blue government?
"Yes! But I'm afraid this isn't enough to shake the foundation of the Deep Blue government, right?"
"Yes. But the Communist Party leader surnamed Li proposed to fight against the landlords and distribute the land. The deep blue government has already been defeated.
We Chinese have 90 million compatriots, 90% of whom are farmers, which means that % of them support the Communist Party.
In this situation, how can a deep blue government win?
"What's more, not all of these 4000 million urban residents support the deep blue government."
“It is true that the Deep Blue government represents the interests of big capitalists and landowners.
80% of the city’s residents are workers, small business owners, and other professionals.”
"The situation is so dire, and the Deep Blue government has the support of the United States!"
"The United States supports the deep blue government based on interests, but the United States is not the father of the deep blue government.
This is more like an investment. If the investor finds out that the investment may go to waste, will he still invest? "
Ye Xiaoyang didn't dare to say it clearly, as this involved the confrontation between the two major camps in the world.
"No."
Zhang Qiwen began to ponder Ye Xiaoyang's words. After a while, he suddenly looked at Ye Xiaoyang.
"Xiaoyang, what is your second brother doing in the country?"
"My second brother's affairs are very complicated and cannot be discussed. Dad, you must not mention my second brother's affairs from now on."
"I understand. Don't ever mention your second brother in front of your parents. Is he safe?"
"I'm in Hujiang, nothing will happen to him."
Zhang Qiwen immediately understood that Ye Minghao was in Hujiang. They had lived in Hujiang for so long, but Ye Minghao had never visited them once.
Ye Minghao's job must be extremely dangerous.
"Yang'er, Dad still doesn't understand. If you believe in the Communist Party, why are you helping President Jiang's eldest son?"
"The only thing is that he wants to fight against the Japanese devils. I will support every Chinese who wants to fight against the Japanese devils.
This is a national and family feud, and I can clearly distinguish right from wrong."
"Then why don't you help the Communist Party? Or join the Communist Party?"
"Dad, I've explained this to you before: being patriotic doesn't conflict with not joining the future ruling party.
As for not helping the Communist Party, on the surface I still rely on the eldest son and belong to the eldest son's people.
I have helped the Communist Party through other channels as much or more than I have helped the Deep Blue government.”
"Yang'er, with your ability, you will be able to be promoted to a high position soon if you join the Red Party organization."
"Dad, that's not what I need. I need freedom, to make money freely and strengthen the Ye family in Gusu City.
The Communist Party will follow the path of the Soviet Republic in the future and will not allow super capitalists like me to exist."
“Oh, what is the concept of super capitalist?”
“For example, the most powerful families in China right now are the Jiang, Zhong, Sun, and Cheng families of the Deep Blue government.
The four of them are the largest capitalists in China.
The wealth I will possess in the future will be several times greater than that of the four families combined."
"Yang'er, what do you need so much money for?"
"Dad, money has many uses. We can't just focus on ourselves and our family. If I have all the money in my hands, I can do a lot of meaningful things.
For example, I bought a farm in San Francisco to provide shelter for homeless orphans. This is one of them.
Why was China invaded by the Japanese devils? "
"That's because our Chinese domestic strength is weak."
“What aspects does a country’s national strength include?”
“Yang’er, I haven’t thought deeply about this, everyone is talking about saving the country.
Some say it changes the thinking of the Chinese people, saying that in the past, intellectuals took the imperial examinations and wrote eight-legged essays, which led to rigid thinking.
Wei Yuan also proposed in "Illustrated Records of the Four Kingdoms" that we should learn foreign technology and use it for our own benefit.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen proposed the Three Principles of the People, which were borrowed from the West, and the deep blue government is now implementing it.
"Dad, I have my own opinion on competition between countries. Competition can be divided into three levels.
First, competition at the technological level, such as the industrial technology level proposed by Wei Yuan.
Second, competition at the institutional level, such as the Three Principles of the People proposed by the founding father.
Third, competition at the cultural level.”
"Can you tell me more about it?"
“The relationship between the three levels is like the Egyptian pyramids, where the first technical level is the foundation of the pyramid.
The institutional level belongs to the middle layer of the pyramid, and culture belongs to the top layer.
Mr. Lu Xun proposed to take the essence and discard the dross, and this way of thinking is correct.
We Chinese are now far behind the Japanese devils on the first level, so there is no need to compare on the second and third levels.
A towering building rises from the ground, but if the foundation is not good, no matter how beautiful the building is, it is just beautiful and useless.
"You make money for America's industrial technology?"
"Yes, the current American country is open-minded and a paradise for big capitalists.
The U.S. dollar is not issued by the U.S. government, but is jointly issued by seven major U.S. financial groups.
"Then what technologies do you think New China needs most?"
“I personally believe that metal material manufacturing technology, engine manufacturing technology, machine tool manufacturing technology, and measuring equipment manufacturing technology are the basic technologies for industrialization.
Of course, I have only listed a few.”
"Can you elaborate?"
“Metal materials, the most commonly used one is steel refining, which involves all aspects.
The engine is the heart of cars, planes, tanks and ships.
Machine tool manufacturing, airplanes, tanks, cannons, and ships are all made up of parts, and the parts are processed by machine tools.
Measuring equipment is an indispensable part of standardized and large-scale production.
In terms of weights and measures, we Chinese only use four units of measurement: li, zhang and size, which are not accurate enough.
The metric system is now used internationally, with measuring equipment using kilometres, metres, decimetres, centimetres and millimetres. High-precision measuring equipment ensures high-precision machining of parts."
The more Zhang Qiwen listened, the more confused he became, and he felt that he did not deserve the title of professor.
