33 Peace Period (1)

Japan does not dare to publish news about the region, but China has no scruples about it. On 30 September, newspapers throughout the country carried the news that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had expelled the Japanese troops entrenched in the Luda area and regained the country. This news adds a great celebratory atmosphere to the National Day. The anger aroused a few days ago by the Japanese attack on the Chinese disaster relief team has completely dissipated in the face of this news.

Zhengzhou had already finished preparing for the National Day military parade, and Chen Ketian got up before dawn to attend the flag-raising ceremony. The People's Square was crowded with people and heavily guarded at the same time. In the late first decade of the 21st century, Chen Ke finally realized through Obama's show that the pro-people actions of national leaders are also a matter of labor and money. Therefore, he never liked to engage in this kind of meaningless pro-people show, the republic had just been established, and there were many internal and external enemies. For example, nearly 10,000 troops were dispatched to People's Square to prevent accidents. Chen Ke himself can not be afraid of death, the problem is that if he dies unnaturally, it will affect the work of the country.

But you have to show up when you have to show up, such as attending a flag-raising ceremony. Even though he is not a nationalist, Chen Ke still believes that the early state did not pay enough attention to the national flag, and the operation of cultural soft power was far less scientific than that of the United States, and Chen Ke must advocate a new culture through a series of actions.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, when watching the national flag-raising ceremony, Chen Ke still felt that he was not as calm as he thought. Under the protection of a team of tall and straight national flag guards, the five-star red flag finally appeared on the edge of the square. That's not a serious killing, it's a real pride.

When the "March of the Volunteers" played, Chen Ke pressed his left hand on his left chest almost instinctively, and watched the flag of the Republic rise. October and autumn are crisp, and the morning breeze blows the flag, fully unfurling the bright national flag. Everyone present sang the national anthem at the same time. Although the sound was uneven, the feeling was the same. Looking up at the flag representing the country, everyone can't help but feel in their hearts, either happy, or moved, or stunned, or unaccustomed, but watching the flag-raising ceremony itself strengthens everyone's relationship with the country.

However, Chen Ke did not expect that many onlookers saw Chen Ke's right hand on his left chest from a distance, and since then, the action of pressing his right hand on his chest has become a standard posture for people other than soldiers to salute the national flag.

After reading the national flag, Chen Ke went to the government canteen in the five-star building for breakfast. His wife and children were already waiting for Chen Ke in the cafeteria. Chen Qianru, who had just entered high school, pulled Chen Ke's arm hard, Chen Ke bent down, and said to his daughter with a smile like an ordinary father in the 21st century: "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Qianru said in a low voice: "Dad, I also want to go up to the city tower to watch the military parade." ”

"This definitely won't work, there are rules for those who go up to the city tower, and they have already been arranged." Chen Ke smiled but said seriously.

Chen Qianru was unhappy now, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were like Chen Ke, but her delicate face came from her mother, and her skin was delicate, in the eyes of her father, even when she was angry, she was beautiful. However, He Ying and her daughter have been fighting wits and courage for more than ten years, and when they saw their daughters acting like a father, their faces sank. "Qianru, listen to Dad, you can't go up now."

"Qianru, do you want to go up there to watch the National Day parade?" Shang Yuan brought a bowl of polenta, a small plate of pickles, and two fritters over at this time.

The aggrieved look on Chen Qianru's face was immediately swept away, and she said to Shang Yuan very seriously: "Uncle Shang Yuan is good." ”

Shang Yuan laughed, "Chairman Chen, I can't raise your delicate little girl." Comrade He Ying has merit! ”

He Ying also smiled: "This is almost annoying, the girl has too many eyes." Prime Minister Shang, your sons are very good. ”

"Of course my daughter has to be spoiled, my wife can't give birth." Shang Yuan sat down beside Chen Ke. Chen Ke's daughter is known to the higher-ups, but Shang Yuan noticed that when outsiders were around, Chen Qianru always followed her parents without saying a word. Don't look at the little girl's age, she can always find her position very accurately. Shang Yuan felt that Chen Ke really didn't hurt this girl in vain.

After eating, the work continued. None of the family members of the officials and military personnel who attended the ceremony were placed on the viewing platform, but watched from the glass corridor on the lower floor. When the People's Republic of China was founded last year, Chen Ke had already copied Chairman Mao's famous words in Wuhan, "The Chinese people have stood up since then!" ”

This plagiarism is another passage from Chairman Mao:

Over the past six years, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution have been immortalized!

Over the past 22 years, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution have been immortalized!

Dating back to 1,840 years, since then, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, and to fight for national independence and the freedom and happiness of the people, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in all the struggles are immortal!

All the soldiers below were the first to cheer, it was the bloody struggle of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants that made this country possible. Among the people's heroes, naturally, the most numerous are military men. The founding of the People's Republic of China was in 1922, acknowledging the Boxer Movement 22 years ago, and taking this movement as the vanguard of the People's Liberation War. Wu Xingchen, Chai Qingguo, Pang Zi and others participated in the Boxer Rebellion, especially the generals of the Republic who participated in the peasant uprising of Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo, who were jointly killed by the Manchu court and foreign invaders, could not help but burst into tears. Although they already knew the content of the inscription on the Monument to the People's Heroes, when they heard it read aloud by the founder of the Republic himself on the National Day, Pang Zi and the others felt that the elders and brothers of the rebel army under Jiuquan could finally close their eyes.

At half past nine in the morning, the parade began. According to the plagiarism process, Chen Ke first passed in front of the parade phalanx in a special military jeep.

"Hello comrades!"

"Hello Chief!"

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

For Chen Ke, this is a common standard procedure, and for the officers and men of the various units participating in this military parade, it is indeed a supreme honor to be able to personally be inspected by the founders of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.

Infantry, cavalry, light personnel carriers, and armored vehicles, the phalanx were listed one by one for several miles. This is the military power of the new China now.

After the parade in the car, the phalanx march began. When the tall army flag bearer in the honor guard of the navy, land and air force at the front saw the tall army flag bearer passing through the square with the military flag, he waved the military flag smoothly, and the flagpole leaned forward, just as a gust of wind blew over, and the August 1 military flag was smoothly unfurled. In the march of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the sound of neat steps as if a person had stepped out sounded high.

The army, navy, and air force honor guards passed first, followed by cavalry and artillery towed by military trucks, all of which were domestically produced. This made Chen Ke extremely satisfied. Then a formation of reconnaissance planes, fighters, and bombers flew through the sky. When the huge figure of the heavy bomber that participated in the Battle of Arthur a few days ago flew through the sky, everyone held their heads high. Many of the citizens who came to see the parade saw objects flying in the sky for the first time.

After watching the parade, Chen Ke's eyes fell on the camera position in the square. Even though Chen Ke participated in organizing a talent show, he didn't understand it, but he didn't know much about filming. However, thanks to the "blessing" of the young female director of the National Day parade, a large number of netizens across the country condemned the filming of the parade, and Chen Kecai probably remembered a few terms such as long shots and 45-degree hanging angles. The advantage of modern Chinese lies in this, even if you don't know what is going on behind these terms, just a few nouns are enough to make a professional pause. Several test shoots have achieved quite good results, which makes some people who know the inside story even more suspicious of how rich Chen Ke's family is and can afford to play with the camera.

Looking at the leader's lofty appearance, I always feel very majestic if I don't know it. After really standing in this position, I realized that at this time, except for those boring guys, the people who really did the work didn't feel that there was anything special about standing on the castle tower.

As soon as the parade ended, a state banquet was held to entertain the envoys of various countries. Chen Ke didn't like to socialize, he just appeared symbolically, ate a few bites of food and left the banquet hall. The representative of the USSR, Comrade Berkov, was already waiting for Chen Ke in the conference room.

"Congratulations on the birthday of the great Chinese People's Republic." Comrade Berkov said very politely, and judging by his attitude, it was indeed a heartfelt congratulations. After all, in this world, China is the only one who is willing to make friends with the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Berkov, we received great help from the Soviet comrades in retaking the Arthur region, and here we express our gratitude." Chen Ke said calmly, as if the Russians had never invaded the Luda region of China. "And our supplies can be transported directly to Lushun and sent to the Soviet Union by rail."

The Soviet Union was officially founded in 1922, and the situation at this time was very unoptimistic. The brutal civil war devastated Russia, which was already relatively backward in Europe, and it was China that really gave aid to the Soviet Union at this time. The aid supplies are two brews, tobacco, tea, sugar, cooking oil, spices, towels, and various civilian items. The Chinese government did not necessarily have to tighten the Soviet Union's belts and trade real money, and Sino-Soviet transactions could be conducted in the form of barter trade, or even on the cards. It would be okay to wait for the Soviet production capacity to be restored before trading.

Comrade Berkov was well aware of the help of this aid and the "trade" to the Soviet Union, and it was not easy to engage in agriculture in the alpine regions. Russian cuisine is brown bread, beetroot soup, cabbage, pork sausage, lard, beef. Spirits are not a luxury, but a necessity. The Chinese comrades did not pit the Soviet Union like foreign countries, and the provinces of Guangxi, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, which were already under the actual control of China, planted sugarcane on a large scale, and after sugarcane was made into sugar, bagasse was used to produce alcohol. The resulting alcohol is re-brewed with a fermented liquor mixed with potatoes, and it is a spirit that is very much in line with the taste of the Russian nation. The alcohol content is up to 55 degrees. Of course, the two-pot head produced in China is considered by the Russians to be the supreme delicacy.

Over the past year or so, China has provided 600 million tons of supplies to the Soviet Union, greatly alleviating the difficulties encountered by the Soviet Union. Communism does require ideals and spirit, but if the workers and farmers on the farms can get 500 grams of two-course brew every week, it can especially stimulate the enthusiasm for socialist construction. Not to mention soft towels, comfortable underwear, a thermos that greatly improves heat insulation, and meat sausages with added spices, as well as colorful pickles from China.

Berkov said: "Comrade Stalin sent me this time to agree to your country's offer to lease land near Moscow. ”

Chen Ke feels that "helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the West" is a fine Chinese tradition, which also contains great wisdom. As far as the Soviet Union's civilian industry was in shambles, trade between China and the Soviet Union was bartered, and that was promising. The Soviet Union was engaged in a new economic policy, and Chen Ke felt that the Soviet Union's method of tightening its belts in exchange for foreign exchange would have too many side effects. Yun Erdao brewing and the Soviet Union did not have the raw materials at all, and it can be said that there is no way to do it. But pickles and bean sauce are transported by train, which is also nonsense. Based on confidence in Chinese farming, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked if it was possible to rent land west of the Ural Mountains in Russia to grow vegetables.

Of course, the Chinese side can't say bluntly, "You Russians can't farm," so the reason is to study the planting technology in alpine areas.

Comrade Berkov brought the news that Comrade Stalin, who was in charge of the work of the Soviet Union, agreed to provide 100,000 Russian acres of land south of Moscow as a test zone. The lease term is 25 years, and the construction period is 3 years. Three years later, half of the output was given to the Soviet government as land rent, and the other half was purchased by the Soviet government.

One Russian acre is about one hectare, but Comrade Stalin was bold enough to set aside 1,000 square kilometers for the Chinese comrades to farm. That's 0.5 per 10,000 of Russia's land.

Chen Ke did not have a bad impression of Uncle Iron Man, who was the real founder of the Soviet Union, although he was ruthless. If there was no Iron Uncle, the Soviet Union would not have been able to defeat Germany in World War II.

But as a politician, Chen Ke felt the tremendous pressure on Uncle Ironman. To build a country as huge as the Soviet Union, there must be a model. Chen Ke knew that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had originally just proposed to get plots of land for China to plant, thinking that it would be enough to have 100 square kilometers. But I didn't expect Uncle Iron Man to expand it tenfold. It seems that Uncle Iron Man really needs a model project, and he needs to maximize the industrial and agricultural production capacity of the Soviet Union. I didn't even let go of China's request.

Berkov, fearing that Chen Ke was mistaken, added: "This matter was instructed by Comrade Dzerzhinsky. ”

Dzerzhinsky and Trotsky were the two who came to China to "extort" the most aid, not only for supplies but also for personnel. China sent 60,000 or 70,000 medical personnel to help the Soviet Union build a nationwide medical system, which they felt were not enough. They caught what they wanted. Of course, such efforts were not without rewards, and Sino-Soviet relations quickly got rid of the tension after China regained its lost territory.

It was clear that Comrade Berkov was more obedient to the command of Comrade Dzerzhinsky and Comrade Trotsky, and he showed Chen Ke a long list of "trades", and after reading it, Chen Ke was frightened by the total weight of 12 million tons, "Does the railway have such a large capacity?" ”

"So we hope that the Chinese comrades will be able to provide ships and transport them by sea." Comrade Berkov replied.

"Soviet comrades really don't think of themselves as outsiders!" Chen Ke thought to himself. He knew the bold nature of the "hairy bear" and also knew the great achievements of the Soviet people in their arduous struggle to build the country. With a population of more than 100 million in the Soviet Union, theoretically 100 kilograms of supplies per person can indeed help the Soviet Union tide over the difficulties as soon as possible. The problem is that China really doesn't have that much capacity at sea, even if it's on the summer Arctic route. But for the sake of the broad trade space in the future, Chen Ke said sincerely, "We can only do our best." ”
