the world is at stake

Those cooks and housekeepers are just dogs in front of the Chinese, but they look down on us at all.

They must pour the leftover food into the sewer, they must watch us dig out the leftovers from the sewer, and they must please us, beg, or even cry and kneel to be happy.

When did those noble-born fellows look us in the eye?We are nothing more than crap eating their leftovers, even their dogs are better off than us.

Every time I go to collect leftovers, I feel very ashamed.Those superior people do not want to see us, thinking it will stain their eyes.We can't even show up during the day, we have to go at night.

Do you think we don't have feelings and can't see the contempt in other people's eyes?Is there anything more humble and hardworking than this in the world?

When the Chinese bombers destroyed the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of the Navy, I felt happy from the bottom of my heart; when the newspapers announced the defeat of Japan, I was not sad;

Now, I don't need to beg someone for alms.I can wash my hands clean, put on neat clothes, and go to the market to do my shopping.Although I am very tired from being busy every day, no one can humiliate me anymore.

Mr. Takeshita, maybe you want to think back to the past, but I don't.If one day, Gongqing Hua comes back again and wants me to live a life that is worse than a dog, I will follow Zhou Tianwang without hesitation.

Don't you want to write about social reality?Write, write down everything I say.These are all facts, without any fiction or exaggeration, and are all my past experiences.Do you dare to write? "

The proprietress was furious, and she spoke extremely fast, sonorously, and loudly.After she finished speaking, the restaurant was quiet.In front of the small desk, a pair of eyes intertwined, looking at the proprietress in unison.

Takeshita was stunned for a few seconds, and asked everyone in disbelief, "I don't want to go back to the past either. But do you just watch Japan being annexed? Watching His Majesty the Emperor being humiliated? Watching the He clan become vassals?"

It was still quiet in front of the desk, and no one echoed Takeshita's words.Even the diners waiting outside heard it and made mocking voices, "Mr. Takeshita, we are different from you.

If the Gongqing Hua family regains power, of course you are happy, but how do we live?I don't want to eat Chinese leftovers anymore, it's still digged out of the sewer, it's disgusting. "

"Yes, yes. It's really disgusting." There were several low-pitched discussions inside and outside the Western Food House. Everyone was at the bottom and never had the right to speak.Now that there is a force standing up to reshape the world, how can they resist?

"Why resist?"

"Why do you want to empathize with the Chinese?"

"Why do you want to live a life that is worse than a dog?"

The rhetorical questioning and ridicule made Takexia's ears red. He found that he had become the target of public criticism and could not wait any longer. He could only stand up and bow to apologize, and then paid the money and left the restaurant.

When Takeshita left, the atmosphere in the house became a little more relaxed, with more laughter.

Many diners praised the proprietress for speaking out her heart, ordering more food and having a laugh.The boss also felt happy and announced a [-]% discount on all dishes tonight, which aroused even louder applause.

The laughter from the Western Food House was like an invisible slap in the face, making Takeshita feel ashamed.

He put his manuscript paper under his armpit, and came out with a dusty face, but was blown by the cold night wind, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, arched his back and wrapped his crumpled suit, and walked towards the dark street with his head down .

Just before taking two steps, Takeshita found several people standing in the darkness outside the Western Food House.The leader is tall and strong, calm and quiet.This person obviously stood outside for a while, presumably he heard the argument and conversation just now.

There are Japanese red lanterns that illuminate the signboard outside the Western Food House.Taking advantage of the dim light, Takeshita stopped, looked up, and shouted in shock, "His Excellency Zhou Tianwang...?"

The voice was so abrupt that it overwhelmed the discussion in the restaurant.When everyone heard this address, they all turned their heads in panic.

The boss and his wife were frightened for a moment, they felt their hearts beating, they stared at their chrysanthemum pattern curtains stupidly, and then heard a deep voice from outside, "Well...it's me, good evening."

It was a very simple greeting, without the big scene as imagined, and there was not much conversation, only the sound of light footsteps moving away.

The people in the Western Food House breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts soon became more curious.

One after another, diners came out of the room and stood with other people waiting outside, speechless in amazement.After a while, even the boss and his wife rubbed their hands on their aprons and hurriedly followed.

The tall figure walked through the rough streets and alleys, with only three or four entourages and guards, simple and light.He appeared silently, and then left quietly, just passing by here, and didn't care about it.

The boss walked over to Takeshita excitedly, lowered his voice, and asked in a very thin voice: "What did you just shout? Who is that person?"

"Who else..." With trembling hands and feet, Takeshita took out the newspaper in his arms, pointed to the photo on the front page, and said, "I have to read the newspaper every day, and it is impossible to admit my mistake."

The crowd was in an uproar, although the darkness of the streets and alleys seemed unreal, but the soul of gossip was burning.No one thought that they could have an intersection with the legendary characters.

The proprietress of the Western Food Shop took a few steps, and shouted at the leaving figure: "Your Excellency is... Zhou Tianwang?"

"Ah!" The figure who was leaving stopped, and said a little troubled: "The title of Tianwang... well, it is indeed me. Just passing by, sorry for the trouble."

The proprietress walked a few more steps, bowed ninety degrees and said, "I'm sorry, but I always want to say 'thank you' to Your Excellency personally. Our whole family is very grateful to you."

"Well, I received your thanks. Keep going!" The tall figure didn't turn around, just waved his hands, and then left.

On the contrary, the proprietress, who had worked hard for half her life, cried herself, turned her head and threw herself into her husband's arms, wailing endlessly, as if expressing her grievances and the joy of welcoming a new life.

For the people at the bottom, positions and doctrines are too hypocritical, conservative and radical are just talk, life is the only thing.

The diners in front of the Western Food House were all sighing and whispering.Takeshita was dumbfounded for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "What a touching scene, there is no need to make any comments, just record it.

I'm inspired, and I'm going to write down the story of this night. The diners were stunned again, hearing Takeshita's last half sentence, "This is a brand new writing direction, and I will definitely earn a manuscript fee." "

Chapter 54

"Dinner at a Western Food House", a short story of nearly [-] characters, will be a long text that all primary and middle school students in the Chinese civilization circle will recite in the future.

This long and difficult article will appear in multiple subjects such as Chinese, history, and politics. Students are required to write about the central idea, historical background, and political changes.

How do teenagers know so much?As long as I come across the test questions about this text, I will scold the author, Takeshita Inosuke, why did he write such an annoying article?

Mr. Takeshita, who was later portrayed as a patriotic writer, just wanted to make a living and write articles to earn manuscript fees.He takes himself as the protagonist, and describes the process of a "Zunhuangpai" walking into a low-level foreign restaurant for dinner.

There are many emotional changes in the full text, using straightforward but sharp brushstrokes to describe the Japanese people at the bottom of the era of change, sharply whipping the high-ranking Japanese dignitaries, and also reflecting the joy and gratitude of the people for their freedom and equality.

At the same time, the article also writes how confused the protagonist is as an intellectual.He knew neither the common people nor the feudal dignitaries, and he ended up being snubbed and ridiculed by the people.

As for the tall figure at the end of the article, its low-key and stable image swept across Japan like a whirlwind, and it became a memory symbol engraved in the minds of Japanese people for decades to come.

After the publication of this article, Japan’s entire society was shaken. Few literati used to analyze their hearts to reflect the current social status quo, and no one could boldly write about their mental journey of shifting camps.

As soon as Takeshita's article came out, Luoyang's paper was expensive for a while, and Japan's "Zunhuang faction" was hit hard in public opinion.A large number of elders and children scolded him as a "shameless cheater of royalties", "despicable traitor", and "a kneeling licker of the Eastern Commission for Discipline Inspection".

On the other hand, there was a wave of criticism in the Japanese critical literature circle, and a large number of critical writers quickly changed their writing style, from simply finding fault with the government to describing social changes in a documentary style.

Make money, not shabby.

Afterwards, Mr. Takeshita scolded his colleagues——I only wrote an article "Dinner at a Western Food House", and those who followed the trend and had a lot of money immediately produced tens of thousands of similar articles, and wrote this subject badly in less than a month.

How can a person live like this?

As for Zhou Qingfeng, he really went out for a walk at night and accidentally walked past that simple foreign restaurant.When he returned to the office of the 'East Commission for Discipline Inspection', there was another pile of documents waiting for approval.

"No matter where I go, there are endless documents to be approved?"

Zhou Qingfeng had no idea that going out for a casual stroll to digest food could cause trouble.He came to Japan to avoid Wenshan Huihai, but he still couldn't escape when he arrived in Tokyo.

The first document was a request from the representatives of the Japanese Communist Party to simplify the inspection procedures for joining the party, to expand the party organization throughout Japan as soon as possible, and to attract more people to join.

"Hehe, when joining the party becomes a safe and fashionable thing, speculators want to squeeze in." Zhou Qingfeng wrote his approval opinion with a sneer.

"The recruitment of personnel without screening will only weaken the combat effectiveness of the party organization and consume the party's most precious majesty and credibility. A large and useless party will waste manpower and material resources and become a giant with mud feet, which is meaningless."

The party is a collection of like-minded people, a mutual aid that goes hand in hand.If you get mixed up with a bunch of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and just want to get promoted and get rich, it's useless.

no.

The second one is from the Yokosuka Naval Shipyard.

The fifth ship of the 'Fengxiang' class, 'Mongolia', was officially launched, and the sixth ship, 'Dongying', was about to finish outfitting.The pick-up personnel selected by the Chinese Navy have arrived and will soon control the two fleet aircraft carriers of nearly [-] tons with the assistance of the Japanese Navy.

This is the benefit of China's preferential treatment of Japan after the war.

Britain and the United States have invested billions of dollars in Japan in the past five years, focusing on strengthening its military industry.Just two large docks with a length of 300 meters were built, and the latest shipbuilding technology was supplied almost free of charge.

Japan's aviation, vehicle, machinery, shipbuilding, chemical, steel and other industries developed rapidly.Although the people did not get much benefit, the industry and military power were greatly increased.

But as soon as the world war broke out, Britain declared war on China, and the new Japanese government immediately announced that the debts of hundreds of millions of pounds owed to the United Kingdom had all been forfeited—the unjust debts for supporting militarism would not be repaid.

The Brit vomited three liters of blood first.

The Ministry of Finance of Japan is even looking forward to whether the United States can also declare war on China, and the billions of dollars in debt will be cancelled.

The sum of the principal and interest of Boxer's indemnity is only one billion taels of silver, equivalent to 5000 million U.S. dollars.The little devil is worth several boxer compensations for nothing, so I can't wait for it.

The report from the Yokosuka Naval Shipyard is that the installation and test of the large-scale thick-scale automatic welding machine was successful.

This thing was completed with the joint efforts of technicians from China, the United States, Germany and Japan, and it is specially used for the hull manufacturing of ships over [-] tons.

Its core is a computer with [-] transistors. Using perforated tape programming, it can realize CNC welding of complex working conditions and irregular surfaces to a certain extent.

There are two sets of the same equipment in China and Germany, which are used in the manufacture of heavy equipment and machinery.After it is put into use, the production efficiency is increased by four or five times, and the cost and yield rate are greatly improved.

The installation of this big country heavy weapon at the Yokosuka Shipyard is to confirm that Japan has everything under control and must efficiently use its industrial facilities and technical personnel.

In later generations of shipbuilding, the cost of the hull was very low, but the installation and debugging of electronic equipment was very complicated and took a long time.But the current naval shipbuilding is much simpler. The electronic equipment is radar and radio, and the entry test mainly focuses on the mechanical aspect.

The construction period of naval equipment is long, and it must have a sufficient scale before the war-now China and Britain, and China and France are fighting in Southeast Asia, and the four "Fengxiang"-class aircraft carriers of the combined fleet are the main force at sea.

If we really have to wait until after the war to build ships, the day lily will be cold.

There are many similar industrial equipment and technologies that can greatly increase productivity. The great powers only hate that they have insufficient manpower and material resources, and desperately climb the technology tree, wanting to seize the commanding heights.

At least not left behind.

Japan and Russia can be regarded as the first batch of losers in this technological competition.Their national strength is insufficient, they cannot keep up with their competitors, and they are slaughtered in a blink of an eye-in the face of Chinese guided bombs and early warning aircraft, the Japanese army seems to have been slaughtered.

Russia does not have enough economic volume to even out the cost of technological competition. Behind the huge investment is extremely inefficient administrative management, which also dragged down its own self-sufficiency.

In fact, China's situation will not be much better than that of Japan, and the upper limit of Germany, which lacks colonies, is also very low.So 'Sacred Light' tried every means to tie up with the US market, and Germany tried its best to tie up with the Chinese market.

Now China has a population of nearly 5000 million, Japan has a population of [-] million, and Southeast Asia has a population of nearly [-] million. It can be said that the Chinese civilization circle is not afraid of any opponent in terms of manpower and market.

"Although my 'Great China' internal consumption capacity is a bit low, the technical requirements are not high. The shipping demand of East Asia's internal economic cycle alone is enough to support a huge shipbuilding industry chain."

Zhou Qingfeng instructed in the document that the project teams involved in the installation and commissioning of key national large-scale equipment should be rewarded, and those who have made outstanding contributions should be recruited into the party and rewarded with bonuses or housing.

The third is a top-secret document, forwarded from the imperial capital to Tokyo by the diplomatic system, and must be personally signed by Zhou Qingfeng.

The content of the document is about the ongoing world war, with comments from the 'Holy Light' internal standing committee.Although Zhou Qingfeng slipped away and ignored it, he still had to copy the relevant information to him.

It has been nine months since the war has been fought, and the mobilization of various countries has basically been completed.

China has solidly mobilized 500 million troops, but two-thirds of them are second- and third-class infantry divisions, which are mainly used to "repair the earth" in the southeast and northwest, mainly for infrastructure construction.

Tsarist Russia mobilized 500 million troops, but was beaten too badly by Germany in the early stage, and more than one million people were captured.In addition to fighting on two fronts, its strength is not sufficient.

Germany, Austria-Hungary, Romania and other countries have mobilized 600 million troops to defend from the west and attack from the east, and are currently in good condition.Among them, Austria-Hungary has entered Ukraine and is besieging Kiev.

The Chinese side specifically reminded Bazel I to treat foreigners in the occupied areas well, ease ethnic conflicts, and use the land and population of Poland and Ukraine—don’t cause food shortages again.

It was rare for Bazel to listen to it, and he also learned from China's policy in Japan, publicizing the tyranny and cruelty of Tsarist Russia, carrying out land reform in the occupied areas, and wooing and dividing the bottom for his own use.

Tsarist Russia is such an easy target to hit, and this is also the reason why the "Holy Light" is unwilling to let the Russian Communist Party "Bo" take power-if the Soviet Union really appears, it will be difficult to morally accuse Maozi, and it is not easy to win over those who are oppressed by Tsarist Russia Class and Frontier Minorities.

"A 2-horsepower aeroengine has already come out, and the 'H-[-]' prototype with a combat radius of [-] kilometers is being tested. Russia, which has a vast territory, cannot withstand the strategic bombing of guided bombs."

Zhou Qingfeng saw the request from the German side to the Chinese side in the document - hope that the National Defense Forces will increase their efforts in the direction of Lake Baikal to attract more Russian troops to the Eastern Front.

Defense Minister Chen Ding said that the army currently lacks the ability and willingness to launch an offensive in the direction of Lake Baikal because the environment in Siberia is too bad.

But in another direction, starting from Urumqi in Xinjiang, the bombing of Novosibirsk in Russia is only 1000 to [-] kilometers away.Although the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway has not yet been completed, trucks can also provide some logistical support.

At the end of the report, it is mentioned that the current annual domestic truck production has reached [-].But after Japan is strengthened by the United States, its annual truck manufacturing capacity is [-], which can greatly supplement the consumption of the army.

The Standing Committee has approved Chen Ding's plan.

It won't be long before Novosibirsk, which is [-] kilometers away from Lake Baikal, will no longer be safe—every time Zhou Qingfeng sees the distance between cities on a Russian map, Zhou Qingfeng can't help but curse, the territory occupied by Maozi is too big. big.

Because Novosibirsk is still far away from the core area of ​​Maozi.But to push the eastern front for thousands of kilometers in one go, Mao Zi also had to jump in a hurry.

"As for Britain and France...their behavior is really weird." Zhou Qingfeng continued to read the report.

The phone on the desk in the office rang, and the secretary called in from outside, saying that a friend from Europe had contacted Katya, the ambassador to Japan, and asked to see the secretary of the 'East Commission for Discipline Inspection'.

"Friends from Europe?" Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the part about Britain and France in the war report, and closed it casually, "Who is it?"

The secretary said: "He said his name is Kompany, and Ms. Katya is coming with him. I have something important to talk to Comrade Secretary."

Ah... the Chosen Broker from Belgium.

What is he running here for?

Chapter 55 Grand Conception

Shibuya, 'East Discipline Inspection Commission' office area.

The temporary simple houses are stacked on the leveled open space, square and square, forming an unattractive building block building.

Simple walls separate the inside and outside, forming a mysterious forbidden area.Occasional vehicles on the street must also pass quickly, and no one is allowed to stay nearby.

Sentinels at the intersection stand guard 24 hours a day, alert to any movement around them.Behind the seemingly simple environment is extremely strict security, just because this place is the real center of Japan.

When Kompany stopped by the security checkpoint outside the office area, looked up at a few lonely street lights, and sighed calmly: "I didn't expect to come to Japan in the current situation one day."

Katya personally accompanied him and handed over his documents to the sentry post.

The Japanese guard carried a submachine gun and looked serious.After comparing the face of the ambassador to Japan with the certificate, he asked Kompany in the back seat unceremoniously: "Sir, please turn the front to me."

The accent of Japanese English is weird.Kompany turned his face angrily, and asked in displeasure, "When did your Secretary Zhou become so afraid of death?"
