(421) dreaming back to the Celestial Empire

What the newspaper said is very different from what Liu Desheng knew, and Liu Desheng knew that this was an official intention to block the news. He put down the newspaper in his hand, and the feeling of panic in his heart grew heavier and heavier.

The train started quickly and left the station, Liu Desheng watched his wife take care of the three children, trying to calm his mood.

"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Yang Jinhui noticed her husband's abnormality and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Liu Desheng showed a comforting smile to his wife, "It's just a little tired." ”

"Then you can sleep for a while." Yang Jinhui said.

"Okay." Liu Desheng turned his head to look out the window again, leaned on the sofa, and Yang Jinhui took out a coat from the suitcase and draped it over him.

Liu Desheng closed his eyes, he did feel tired, and after a while, he fell asleep.

In his sleep, he actually dreamed that he appeared on the tower of Guang'anmen Gate in Yanjing.

At this time, almost a million people are gathering in Guang'anmen Square!

Liu Desheng looked at his body and found that he had put on a strange green military uniform and climbed the Guang'anmen Tower, as if he was reviewing the troops!

And among the crowds surging below, there are flying red flags everywhere!

"This is hundreds of thousands of Red Guards from all over the country who have come to Beijing to string in, please sit down and review!"

Someone said to him.

At this moment, a middle school girl wearing a red armband ran over quickly, and her little face seemed to be flushed with excitement because she saw him.

"On behalf of all the Red Guards of the High School Attached to Normal University, I present the Red Guard armband to the beloved Mao Zhuxi!" The little girl said loudly.

Liu Desheng looked at the little girl, and looked a little overwhelmed for a while.

The little girl stepped forward generously and gave Liu Desheng a red armband to wear on her left arm, Liu Desheng asked her name, and she replied: "My name is Zhang Binbin, and I am polite and polite." ”

Liu Desheng nodded, and somehow said this: "Don't be literate, you want martial arts!" ”

"Then I'll change my name!" The little girl looked at Liu Desheng and said loudly, "According to the instructions of the resident, I will now change my name to Zhang Yaowu!" ”

Listening to the little girl's words, Liu Desheng couldn't help but be stunned again.

At this time, these young people known as the "Red Guards" looked at their "rising seats", and the piety, admiration and love in their eyes made Liu Desheng feel inexplicably excited and excited.

Could it be that the red flag is really flying throughout China?

The Red Guards faced Liu Desheng on the city tower, tears flowed down one by one, desperately waving the little red book in their hands, and rhythmically shouting, "Long live the seat!" words.

The sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking made Liu Desheng feel so familiar.

And illusory.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Desheng found that he seemed to be back in his student days.

It's just that he was wearing the same military uniform as those young Red Guards!

And, of course, wearing red armbands.

"We're going to break the four olds! Four new! ”

Liu Desheng, who was standing on the street, saw a team of Red Guards slaughtering Wangfujing Street and smashing open the door of the department store.

Liu Desheng rushed into the building with the flow of people, only to see that next to the cosmetics counter, several female team members were smashing with wooden sticks, smashing all the glass of the counter, and then throwing out all the cosmetics inside.

"It's all the bourgeois way of life they propagate! We're going to smash them all! A female member of the team shouted, which immediately drew a frenzied echo.

Liu Desheng exited the store in some horror, when a woman walked out of a barber shop after finishing her perm, and several female Red Guards immediately rushed up with scissors, held her down, and cut off her hair with scissors. The woman cried out in fright and was kicked several times by the female team members.

Liu Desheng looked around, there were running Red Guards everywhere, they were frantically smashing the shops on the street, and from time to time shards of glass scattered fell on Liu Desheng's head.

Liu Desheng saw that a group of Red Guards who rushed into the bath beat out several elderly people who were scrubbing naked with belts, and several overwhelmed scrubbers were also dragged out.

"You should rise up 'Revolution!' Down with them! A young player yelled at the scrubbers.

Looking at this hot scene, Liu Desheng somehow felt extremely excited.

Unconsciously, Liu Desheng and the Red Guards came to the Buddha Incense Pavilion of the Summer Palace, and when they saw the statue of Sakyamuni smashed by everyone, he also joined them.

Soon, the raiding operation began, Liu Desheng and everyone tore calligraphy and paintings, smashed antiques, and scolded these "feudal things" while tearing them up. After a while, a large number of books, calligraphy and paintings were piled up in the courtyard and burned......

The Red Guards carried themselves and shouted slogans around the fire.

Liu Desheng saw a Red Guard take out two large books in Western clothes, and a gray-haired old man with glasses pounced on him, trying to stop him from burning them.

"That's "Etymology" and "Cihai"!" The old man's body was shaking, "These are two reference books that everyone can use, and they were lent to me by a student from other places, if they are burned, they will not be able to return to their original owners!" ”

The Red Guards pushed the old man to the ground and threw the two books into the flames. He glared at the old man as he threw it back, and shouted at him.

"We are the young Red Guards of the revolution! It is enough to have "Xinhua Dictionary"! ”

I don't know how long it took for Liu Desheng to reappear, and he was in a traditional courtyard house in Yanjing.

When he saw the Red Guards tie an elderly woman to a grape trellis and whip her with a military belt with a brass buckle, he couldn't help but take a step back in horror.

Soon, another old lady was also tied up and beaten, and seeing the two old men covered in blood struggling in pain, Liu Desheng couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"The water is coming!"

Liu Desheng turned his head to look and immediately saw several Red Guards carrying buckets, which contained boiling water steaming.

Liu Desheng immediately understood what they wanted to do, and couldn't help but tremble.

A Red Guard lifted the bucket of boiling water and poured it over the heads of the two old ladies at once, and the two old ladies immediately let out a heart-rending scream!

The screams of the old people made Liu Desheng feel unbearable any longer, and he walked quickly to the outside of the alley.

At this time, the outside of the alley has become an execution ground.

Liu Desheng saw that the living were tied up and kneeling there, while the dead were lying sideways and upright, blood stained the ground, and all the bodies were scarred, which was unbearable. Not far away, two small carts were carrying corpses.

And standing in front of those victims were interrogators with cold eyebrows.

The interrogators were all arrogant, armed with wooden sticks, iron rods, and triangular belts nailed to them, and they shouted at the interrogators to hand over their "guns," "title deeds," and "changing accounts." As long as they said no or did not squeak, the terrible murder weapons in their hands would rain down with the sound of reprimands.

Those who were killed were waiting for the car to be transported out, and those who were not killed fell to the ground moaning.

Liu Desheng saw a little boy of fourteen or five years old, who looked very delicate, very much like his son Liu Yunying.

The little boy knelt beside an old woman with his hands tied behind his back, and he looked at the Red Guards with a look of horror on his face, for fear that disaster would befall him.

Liu Desheng saw a young male Red Guard holding an iron rod come to the child and asked sharply: "Tell me quickly, where is your family's changing account hidden?" ”

The little boy's body began to tremble, "I don......'t know," he replied in a slurch.

"I told you didn't know!" As he spoke, the Red Guards raised their iron rods and threw them at the little boy, smashing them on his hands behind his back, only to hear a "poof", the ring finger and little finger of the little boy's left hand were immediately broken, and the blood flowed to the ground like a kettle pouring water out.

The little boy screamed loudly and fell to the ground, his young body convulsing incessantly, and after a while, he stopped breathing due to excessive blood loss.

At this time, two militia-like people pulled a middle-aged woman into the execution ground, kicked her to her knees, and the interrogator also said where she was "changing the heavenly tent", she didn't speak, and was immediately knocked to the ground by two belts, Liu Desheng didn't dare to look any further, he turned around and wanted to leave, just in time to see two people lifting a person who had been killed and loading it on a small cart, but the person hadn't gone far and was alive again, struggled, fell from the car, fell to the ground, and a Red Guard immediately rushed up with a shovel, Two shovels were slapped at him, and the man stopped moving, so he was loaded into a car and carried away......

Liu Desheng screamed and woke up.

"You're finally awake."

A familiar and unfamiliar voice said.

Liu Desheng vaguely saw a person standing in front of the table with his back to him, gently flipping the newspaper on the table with his fingers.

Liu Desheng rubbed his eyes and looked around, he was surprised to find that his family in the box had disappeared, only himself and the person in front of him.

This person slowly turned around and looked at Liu Desheng, Liu Desheng recognized his identity, and his heart immediately sank.

Standing in front of him was the well of the Minister of Homeland Security of the Chinese Federation.

"You're traveling?" Mizui looked at him, smiled slightly, and asked.

"Yes." Liu Desheng replied in a hoarse voice.

Seeing the smile on Shuijing's face, Liu Desheng couldn't help but feel a trace of luck and hope in his heart.

The hope of life.

He hoped that the Secretary of Homeland Security had not yet determined that he was the mastermind of the assassination.

"You're interested in aircraft carriers?" Shuijing shook the newspaper in his hand in front of Liu Desheng, and Liu Desheng saw the photo of the aircraft carrier on it, and his heart relaxed a little.

"Yes." Liu Desheng said, "Regarding aircraft carriers, I think they are more important than battleships. ”

"Tell me." Mizui still had an amiable smile on his face. He sat down at the table, nodded to Liu Desheng, and motioned for him to continue.

"Since the First World War, Ben has been trying to dominate China alone. When the financial crisis broke out in our country, I thought that this was a godsend and took various measures to aggravate my country's economic difficulties, but my country's political axe had an insight into the wolf's ambitions and has always maintained great vigilance against him. Through the reform of the currency system, on the one hand, China has revived the economy and significantly increased its national strength. On the other hand, it has further strengthened the British and American forces in China, provided greater restraint to the British and American forces in China, and objectively achieved the goal of resisting the British and American forces with the help of British and American forces. Unable to squeeze out the influence of Britain and the United States in China economically, and unwilling to see our country move from a predicament to prosperity, he quietly quickened the pace of launching an all-out war of aggression in a vain attempt to achieve the goal of monopolizing our country by force. ”

"That's a good point." Mizui smiled slightly, then nodded again.

"In today's world, if you directly feel the strength of a country in terms of its military appearance, you only need to look at who can build it, how many warships it has, and what kind of warships it can have. Aircraft carriers integrate powerful strategic manufacturing, new materials, high and new technologies, and cannot be manufactured without strength; However, the maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier combat cluster is close to one million yuan, and it has no strength and cannot afford it. ”

"Today, if our country does not have aircraft carriers, it cannot be considered a military power in the modern world. With the passage of time, after decades of opening up and development, China's international status has been greatly enhanced, its national strength is strong, its national interests are expanding to the world, and it has become a natural choice to have national defense strength corresponding to the country's overall strength and development strategy. Whether and when to have a large aircraft carrier fleet is a matter for national decision-making departments, but in theory, having such a fleet will not only be a 'national gold medal' for national pride, but also a bargaining chip for our country to win international respect. I heard that the Soviet Union is now also preparing to build four aircraft carriers, and its intention is also to re-establish its status as a great power. ”

"Having an aircraft carrier is also conducive to the awakening of our people's maritime consciousness and world consciousness. China has been estranged from the ocean for more than 100 years. There is no doubt that with the advent of aircraft carriers, the Chinese will inevitably turn their attention to the ocean. This is also the reason why Benben has been spreading the 'China threat theory' one after another for a long time: they want to cut off the germ of our Chinese's maritime awareness, destroy their ambitions or delay the pace of going global, and continue to shield and isolate China from the activities of the vast human public space such as the ocean, so that the Chinese can live on land and do nothing; And then stealthily reach the process of its sluggish [***] development. ”

"Now, a new round of industrial revolution with high technology as the core is in full swing, and China urgently needs new leading projects to drive and drive new technological progress and economic development. The foundation of the country's economy is industry, and China cannot afford to be ambitious. Aircraft carriers, aircraft, rockets, and submarines are just some of the development projects suited to China's national conditions. These projects are the strategic direction of the future national modernization, and they are also the fundamental direction of 'independent innovation' of domestic enterprises. On the basis of these projects, we can speed up the upgrading of China's industries, make strategic industries that are vital to national development and security become new economic growth points as soon as possible, replace the position of low-tech industries such as tobacco and alcohol, textiles, and real estate in the national economy as soon as possible, and provide a sustained and strong driving force for the modernization of China's industry and the modernization of the armed forces in the future. ”

"Your insights are good." A look of approval appeared on Shuijing's face, "Chief Yang should be allowed to hear what you said." ”

Hearing Shuijing mention Yang Shuoming, Liu Desheng's heart couldn't help but tighten, but he still looked calm on the surface, he coughed lightly and continued.

"In fact, the last financial crisis was a good opportunity for China's economic strategic transformation. The manufacture of aircraft carriers, in a sense, is also a pull for 'domestic demand', and a strong pull. If China's navy has aircraft carriers, it will inevitably need supporting ships, aircraft, and other huge support and support systems. A long-term point of technological and economic growth is formed. ”

"Aircraft carriers, like battleships, have it without it, and are the fundamental mark that distinguishes the traditional navy from the modern one."

"In modern warfare, deterrence is also a regular way of using troops. In terms of the speed of mobilization and deployment and the effectiveness of strikes, the modern army, navy, and air force systems are all too large and complex, but the aircraft carrier combat clusters, which have become complete combat systems by themselves, can show the characteristics of convenience and high efficiency, and are very suitable for the characteristics of local conflicts and modern warfare. Someone summed up the habitual thinking of the British prime ministers, once there is an emergency in the world, the British prime minister's first reaction is: Where is our fleet? The principle is the same. ”

"There is a belief that aircraft carriers will soon become obsolete. I don't think so. Artillery came out earlier than aircraft carriers, tanks, planes also came out earlier than aircraft carriers, and none of them are obsolete at the moment. The criterion for determining whether a technology and major weapons platform is obsolete is whether a new generation of new species has emerged to replace it. Now that countries are developing aircraft carriers, it seems premature to say that aircraft carriers are obsolete. The argument that bombers are powerful and aircraft carriers are weak in future wars is also untenable: if the aircraft carriers with the most powerful three-dimensional combat power are still like this, should the battlefleet be disbanded? ”

"China's social transformation is mainly from the local 'inward-looking' economic structure to the marine 'export-oriented' economic form, and the result will inevitably be that China will change from an inland farming country to a modern maritime country. This trend has clearly influenced and driven the military to change from an army type to a navy type. Transformations in the political and diplomatic spheres can only follow. ”

"China has an aircraft carrier fleet, and it will never show its military presence around the world, as it did with the Soviet Union, let alone use it for global hegemony. China's long-range military delivery with an aircraft carrier fleet will also only make the Asia-Pacific region and the world safer. The possession of aircraft carriers is conducive to China's safeguarding of its territorial waters and legitimate interests overseas; In the long run, it will make our country shoulder greater responsibility for world peace. Some countries have repeatedly made noise about China's development of the navy, and there are misunderstandings and malice, but they can ignore it. ”
