In the next three days, the Central Military Commission carried out a large-scale rectification campaign and carried out criticism and self-criticism activities in view of a series of problems that had arisen within the troops. ～X.

Gao Jianguo's review also shook the entire Military Commission, and people who didn't care much about it also became serious. Immediately after that, Li Ming and several other members of the Standing Committee and members of the Central Military Commission came to power one after another, and they all made strict self-criticism of their own shortcomings in thinking and work.

What they said was more profound than the other, there were almost no clichés and empty words, and many questions were said in everyone's hearts, so that they also discovered some aspects of their own problems.

The three-day rectification campaign has further unified the thinking of the Central Military Commission. Almost all of them took the initiative to speak on stage and spoke their hearts. In fact, everyone thinks about the same, and in front of the natives of this era, they are consciously superior to others, which will breed the idea of contempt for the enemy.

Everyone still holds the thinking of modern society, the organizational discipline is poor, the sense of identity with the organization is not strong, and the cohesion is lacking. In the long run, this will lead to mountaineering. If it develops for a long time, once it is a habit, it will form a military gatekeeper, and the country will fall into the dangerous situation of being a martial artist.

Gao Jianguo made a final concluding speech, and he said to everyone meaningfully: "Comrades, this era is the darkest era of our nation. All day long, the people escaped in pools of blood and survived in the slaughter. Hell on earth, darkness, this is not a fictional horror. This is the truest portrayal of this era.

From the 15th to the 17th century, the Ming Dynasty was the world's first power, but in the next few decades, the population here will die, even if it is a living person, it will be a slave, and then shaved its hair, easy to obey, and fell from China to Yidi, from civilization to barbarism, from advanced decline to backwardness. Let the pace of entering the modern society and entering the world's advanced ranks have been interrupted. The process of modernization has been postponed for almost three hundred years.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was imprisoned in thought. As a result, the whole society has become dead, the atmosphere of freedom and innovation has been lost, and the gap with the West has become wider and wider. The price of these 300 years we lost was the servile ideology left over from the more than 300 years of rule of China after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. There is also the critical moment of modern China's national peril. I had to accept the import of Western ideas.

Western colonizers in just three hundred years. The colonization of modern times began, setting off a wave of carving up the world and establishing a new world system. Until we came here, they held the order of the whole world in their hands. And our nation has lost the opportunity to dominate the world.

The loss of these 300 years has caused our nation to lose the majestic atmosphere of swallowing mountains and rivers. discarded the majesty of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the loftiness of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but followed the vices of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Comrades, we have come to this era to recover the lost 300 years of our nation, not for rejuvenation, but for the sake of inheriting and regaining the great pioneering spirit of our nation. Therefore, we must unify our thinking, unite closely, and work hard to defend the glory of our nation, so that the Chinese nation can continue to stand tall on top of the world. ”

Three days later, the board of directors of the Far Eastern Company held a meeting of the board of directors, and the standing committees and committees of the Military Commission and the People's Affairs Committee gathered together for a two-day meeting.

At the meeting, Gao Jianguo made a profound review on behalf of the Military Commission, and hoped that the Ethnic Affairs Committee would supervise the work of the Military Commission in the future, and also hoped that everyone would put forward their own valuable suggestions for the company's army building.

After studying and deciding, all future major military operations of the Far Eastern Company must be carried out with the consent of two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the company, and the resources and funds required for the military committee's equipment and combat readiness plans must also be handed over to the board committee for discussion and approval, and it is not allowed to carry out the military operations on its own.

The company's planning and finance department is responsible for auditing the army's equipment budget, and the troops' pensions, demobilization, and resettlement should also be included in the company's social security plan, and the internal security forces, militia, and reserve forces are also jointly led by the Central Military Commission and the People's Council.

This meeting restrained the Central Military Commission to the greatest extent and nimbled some unstable factors in the bud. Although these systems are not enough to solve the fundamental problems of the CMC, this kind of matter can only be solved step by step.

At least we have a good start, and the key is to recognize the severity of the problem and constantly improve and supplement it in our future work. These are also several members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors, who fully took into account the importance of the military struggle in the early stage of the company's development, and could not let the troops lose their sharpness and enterprising spirit, let alone hit the morale of the officers and men of the Military Commission.

After studying the affairs of the Military Commission, the board of directors did not adjourn the meeting, but made persistent efforts, continued to study the company's future work plan, and made some arrangements for this year's work.

In 1629, the Far Eastern Company had two of its most important tasks.

The first thing is the northward expansion plan of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, which will complete the basic development of Trudovoye in the north of Vladivostok this year, and in the next few days the company will form a pioneering advance team to establish a landing site in Trudovoye. The second major event is the resettlement work in Dongjiang Town, Liaodong.

In addition to these two major events, the Far Eastern Company has a lot of work to do this year, among which the construction of the Vladivostok Development Zone is also a top priority, since the infrastructure work of the industrial zone has been completed before the winter of 1628. In this year's winter training for laborers, the number of apprentices in Far Eastern Company has reached more than 10,000.

Therefore, a lot of work will be completed or put on the agenda this year, including thermal power plants, railways leading to open-pit coal mines and forestry farms, cement plants, basic building materials bases, machinery processing plants, heavy machine factories, military factories, foundries, smelters and other key enterprises of the company will be built on a large scale this year.

There is also the establishment of a trading market in Ulleungdo, and the transaction with Song Shiping and the Ming shipowner, which will also start in May. At that time, the Far Eastern Company will trade with them in exchange for people, grain, raw materials and other materials from the Ming Dynasty.

Manila was also on the agenda at the meeting, but there was a big split among the members of the board. Everyone has different opinions about the importance of Manila.

Many members of the Democracy Committee believe that Manila is just a piece of chicken ribs and advocate abandoning Manila, after all, it is far away and the company should focus its efforts on the north. Now the company is in the development stage, the demand for trade is not large, a few years later, after the company's basic industry is established, in the consideration of foreign trade.

Other members felt that Manila's geographical location was very important and that it would be a pity to abandon Manila. Only a small number of personnel were placed in Manila to support the local Chinese regime and the Chinese pirates in Southeast Asia, and there was not much waste of company resources.

The members who expressed their opinions were all members of the Nationalities Affairs Committee, and the members of the Military Commission were silent, allowing others to argue there. After the rectification of the Central Military Commission, many members of the Central Military Commission had some ideas in their minds, so at this time, they all chose to keep their mouths shut.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming, the managing directors, were not easy to express their views at this time, so the meeting reached an impasse here. Wang He looked at the current situation and knew that he had to speak, and if there was no member of the Military Commission to participate in this regard, it would definitely be a nonsense ending in the end.

He coughed, and then said with a smile: "I think the members of the Military Commission have more say on this issue, so let's ask the comrades of the Military Commission to share their views." ”

However, a group of members of the Nationalities Committee are arguing over this matter, so how can they give up lightly. Wu Yuan, the head of the Ethnic Affairs Division of the Ministry of Missions, was a firm advocate for the abandonment of Manila, and he had always complained about the Military Council's indulgence in pirates to masshouse the Spaniards in Manila's royal city.

"Actually, we shouldn't touch Manila at all, and aside from ethnic hatred, it's better for Manila to be under Spanish rule, so that at least Manila can continue to be part of Spain's round-the-world routes. And without the import of silver from the Americas, the blow to the economy of the Ming Dynasty was immeasurable.

And now that we have cut him off, it will inevitably lose its original meaning and become a mere island. Why did the Admiralty condone pirates to kill the Spaniards, the massacre only brought hatred, and now we and the Spaniards will be on the same page, which is very bad for the company. We should not kill indigenous people everywhere like Westerners, this is the minimum moral bottom line of our Chinese civilization. ”

As soon as Wu Yuan's words fell, Li Ming, who was opposite him, smiled, but his smile was full of sarcasm. Li Ming said to Wu Yuan gloomily: "Then what do you say is the moral bottom line of our Chinese civilization." Let others slaughter again and again, and then go to take their own hot faces and stick to other people's cool butts, is this our moral bottom line? We are so cheap, we only know how to repay grievances with virtue.

From the day when the civilizations of China and the West began to collide, the outbreak of war was provoked by Westerners, every time. We have always accepted Western civilization in a peaceful and friendly way, even in our modern society, and all dynasties in history have been gentle towards the West, and even if there is a war, we have always calmed things down with a peaceful attitude.

But what are we getting in exchange, endless aggression and massacres, the aggressive ambition and greedy nature of the Western colonizers will not change, and our moral bottom line is not bullshit in their eyes. ”

As soon as Wang He heard the words inside, he knew that he was going to suffer, and Gao Jianguo and several members of the Military Commission had already sunk their faces, and even the people of the Ethnic Affairs Committee were dissatisfied. He hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay for us to discuss the problem, and we are not allowed to make subjective assumptions, and the company's problem with Manila is still being discussed, so don't draw conclusions lightly now."
