New Beginnings (46)

Shi Dekuan looked around at Chen Ke's office, which was a real "office", that is, a large desk, a few stools, and a broken bookshelf for stationery, paper, teacups, and other everyday items. Then there is the map of the world and the map of China on the wall. Other than that, there are brooms and dustpans placed next to the door, and there are no extra personal belongings other than the first time.

On the way to Chen Ke's office, Shi Dekuan also observed the headquarters of the People's Party himself, and the doors on both sides of the corridor were almost identical. Compared with the Anhui Governor's Yamen, which is now occupied by King Yue, it is really very simple. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shi Dekuan himself would never have believed that this room was the political center of a region of hundreds of miles.

Chen Ke read the document and gave instructions on it, which was then taken by the BJP. In the middle, Chen Ke will also verbally make some simple additional explanations. The content of the work is spring ploughing, farm tools, seeds, housing, drinking water, and there are many things that Shi Dekuan does not understand the meaning of words, but it is related to farming and breeding. Overall, Chen Ke still writes a lot and says very little.

Shi Dekuan bit his lip slightly and stared at Chen Ke tightly. made such a knee-jerk not because he was bored, but because Shi Dekuan felt that Chen Ke's approach was too unreasonable. With thousands of elites, the People's Party not only failed to give full play to its strength, but also defeated the Manchus. Instead, he started farm work in Fengtai County. Anyway, I have to inform the world that the People's Party already has such a large territory, and calls on heroes from all walks of life to defect to the banner of the People's Party. This should be the revolution in Shi Dekuan's imagination. Chen Ke's current approach is like the owner of those local enclosures, thinking about his own one-third of an acre of land all day long.

After nearly an hour of intense work, Chen Ke temporarily finished processing the documents in front of him, and then put down the pen in his hand. He looked up at Shi Dekuan and asked very seriously: "Mr. Shi, I don't know if you have any other tasks besides these students' affairs when you come to Fengtai County this time?" ”

Shi Dekuan also thought about a lot of opening remarks during the time he was waiting, and in response to Chen Ke's question, Shi Dekuan chose a very vague statement, "Mr. Chen, our Yue Wang Association still wants to cooperate with your party. ”

"This is the attitude of which revolutionary leader of the Yue Dynasty?" Chen Ke continued to ask.

Shi Dekuan is still young after all, and he is far from having the strength to open his eyes and tell nonsense in this kind of thing. was asked by Chen Ke to the bottom of the question, and he couldn't answer it immediately. Suppressing the slight panic, Shi Dekuan licked his lips and continued: "They are all revolutionary comrades, and everyone will naturally think so. ”

"Hehe," Chen Ke chuckled, "Since he is a revolutionary comrade, Mr. Shi is also a cadre of the Yue Wang Society. What do you think? ”

Shi Dekuan didn't know that Chen Ke deliberately gave himself a step down, and he thought that he had moved Chen Ke, and Chen Ke decided to fully cooperate with King Yue. Shi Dekuan immediately came to his senses, "Our Yue Wanghui has already occupied Anqing, as long as your party cooperates with us, there is no problem for us to join forces to capture the north of the Yangtze River." Together, we can attack Wuhan in the west, and Yangzhou, Wuhu and Nanjing in the east. It can completely turn the world upside down along the Yangtze River. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Dekuan stood up and walked to the map of China, when Chen Ke was working, Shi Dekuan had been looking at this map for a long time. However, he was far away at that time, and he couldn't see clearly enough, so he walked to the map and looked at the detailed map signs, Shi Dekuan couldn't understand it. But young people like to talk on paper, Shi Dekuan on the one hand according to the memories of the past when pointing out the country on the shoddy map, on the other hand carefully identified the corresponding signs on this map, and then began to give Chen Ke a "military education".

Chen Ke looked at Shi Dekuan's performance, and he really couldn't smile bitterly. After all, since Chen Ke was in junior high school, he has been thinking about the "grand strategy" of conquering the world in front of the globe at home, and talking about the liberation of China in front of the map of China is too childish compared to this kind of thing.

Chen Ke has always felt that he is very patient, but listening to Shi Dekuan's paper talk, Chen Ke's patience is wearing off at a very fast speed, and when he can almost bear it anymore, Chen Ke finally said: "Mr. Shi, you said so many strategies, I just want to ask, have you calculated how much food you need to fight a war outside?" ”

"Huh?" Shi Dekuan was slightly stunned.

Chen Ke continued to ask the question more clearly, "Have you calculated how much food you need for a month when 10,000 people are marching and fighting outside?" ”

In fact, Chen Ke almost wanted to ask how many calories each person needs every day in the heat of war. And how much food is needed to provide these calories. But if you really ask that, it will inevitably be too difficult for Shi Dekuan. So Chen Ke simplified this problem.

Sure enough, as Chen Ke expected, Shi Dekuan replied: "I haven't counted this ....... But the people are definitely behind us. ”

"Why should the people support us?" Chen Ke asked. This is a very common question in the political curriculum of the BJP, since the BJP depends on the people, why should the people support the BJP? Chen Ke never believed that the people had reason to support any political party unconditionally. If you want to get the support of the people, there must be an inherent cause and effect relationship. "There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason." Only when the People's Party stands on the stand of the people and truly serves the people will the people truly support the People's Party. Therefore, Chen Ke repeatedly stressed to the party members that saving the people in a disaster year is not the grace of the People's Party. As a political party of the people, the People's Party is violating the political program of the People's Party if it does not go to the rescue of the people in dire straits.

Shi Dekuan has not received the education of the People's Party's party class, so it is naturally impossible for him to think about problems like Chen Ke. Shi Dekuan pondered for a while about Chen Ke's question, and then replied: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and established a republic, and China will be able to get rid of the situation of being bullied by foreigners now." The people just don't know that, and when they know it, they'll definitely support us. ”

This is just the general understanding of the revolutionaries of this era, who knew that they must overthrow the rule of the Manchus and that they must resist foreign aggression. In general, there is nothing wrong with this understanding. However, if this realization is taken as a course of action, the result is bound to be a tragedy. History has inexorably confirmed what the revolution of these revolutionaries of the old era will lead to. The revolutionaries of the old times felt the pain, but the problem was that they did not understand how the pain came about in the first place.

Only the party at that time profoundly realized that in the midst of all the suffering, only by solving the suffering of the people and by arousing the people to overthrow the three mountains of oppression on the heads of the Chinese people could China achieve ultimate liberation. The first thing the revolutionaries of the old times wanted to solve was the pain they felt. And the interest groups represented by these revolutionaries of the old era were not the people, but the landlords and gentry of the old era. In Chen Ke's view, this is the essential difference between the People's Party and other political parties now. Shi Dekuan's performance undoubtedly confirmed Chen Ke's thoughts.

Although Shi Dekuan does not have Chen Ke's understanding, he is not a three-year-old doll after all, and he can still feel the opposition that Chen Ke maintains. Shi Dekuan couldn't help but ask sadly: "Mr. Chen, you have people in the People's Party, you have money, and guns. Our Yue Wang Hui is indeed incomparable. But Mr. Chen, why don't you use these things to overthrow the Manchus? ”

In the face of Shi Dekuan's questioning, Chen Ke was not angry, he suddenly remembered a speech at the 21st Century Forum, you talk to him about military affairs, and he talks to you about technology. You talk to him about technology, and he talks to you about craftsmanship. You talk to him about craftsmanship, and he talks to you about copycats. You talk to him about copycats, and he talks to you about systems. You talk to him about the system, and he talks to you about democracy. You talk to him about democracy, he plays lyricism with you.

If Shi Dekuan had been a subordinate of the People's Party, he would have been dragged out for criticism and self-criticism based on his current remarks. Chen Ke suddenly felt very fortunate, because the organizational building of the People's Party was completely based on the basis of "doing practical things." This is the core of the party's founding that Grandpa Mao was committed to. Chen Ke completely copied it, and this is why the People's Party is what it is today. If a political organization acts solely on the basis of a certain political idea that is divorced from the interests of the broad masses of the people, it will absolutely have no future.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke had lost interest in continuing to discuss with Shi Dekuan. Receiving Shi Dekuan today, Chen Ke just wanted to see how much weight the Yue Wang Association had, and Shi Dekuan's performance made Chen Ke completely give up his plan to cooperate more deeply with the Yue Wang Society. When the middle and lower cadres of a political party do not have a clear political attitude, no matter how knowledgeable the leader of the party is, it is useless. If someone asks the middle and low-ranking cadres of the People's Party why they want a revolution, they will at least verbally answer that the revolution is about liberating the people, no matter what they think in their hearts. Over the past year, Chen Ke has always tried every possible way to teach these comrades how to liberate the people through practical actions. Although the effect did not completely satisfy Chen Ke, these comrades have been doing things, not talking about things.

"Mr. Shi, I know that the revolutionary leaders of the Yue Wang Society did not ask you to come to discuss cooperation with me." Chen Ke directly pierced Shi Dekuan's hole card, "I myself very much hope to cooperate with the revolutionary comrades of the Yue Wang Society. I want to ask you something, don't you know? ”

Hearing Chen Ke expose his lies, Shi Dekuan immediately felt ashamed in his heart. However, Chen Ke still left a step for Shi Dekuan, and Shi Dekuan asked with a red face: "I don't know what Mr. Chen commands?" ”

"I would like Mr. Shi to bring a message to the revolutionary leaders of the Yue Wang Society, we in the People's Party are very keen to cooperate with the Yue Wang Society, and I don't know what they really think. Mr. Shi, this matter is very important, I want to ask you to take full responsibility for the liaison matter, I wonder if Mr. Shi is willing? ”

"I will definitely bring Mr. Chen's opinion back to Anqing." Shi Dekuan hurriedly said.

While he was talking, the staff of the People's Party came in with a few more documents, and Chen Ke said: "I still have something to do here, Mr. Shi, it's getting late now, and I'll ask someone to arrange a place for you to live." ”

Because the "lie" was exposed, Shi Dekuan now just wanted to leave Chen Ke as soon as possible, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't bother Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Ke explained a few words to the staff, and the staff took Shi Dekuan out.

After Shi Dekuan went out, Chen Ke did not continue to deal with the official documents, he sighed, and thought in his heart, it is really impossible to talk! I don't know how the party operated the united front back then. However, when I think about it, the targets that allowed the party to carry out a united front back then were all political forces with their own forces. It is difficult for Yue Wanghui to protect himself now, even if he is working on a united front with them, I am afraid that the result will not be optimistic. Thinking of this, Chen Ke simply put this matter aside first, and he asked the guards to come in.

"Go and invite Mr. Qiu Jin, just say that I will invite her to dinner in the evening." Chen Ke said. Seeing the guards immediately go out to deliver orders, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel a little headache. If King Yue will not succeed, then he will support the Restoration Society no matter what. Thinking of the difficulties in the middle, Chen Ke really couldn't simply be optimistic.
