Zhang Taiyan and Wang Jitong are the two of them, and this dinner is actually a debate about the future policy direction, and this is likely to be the last debate involving the adjustment of the entire national system. Yang Rui's direction was erratic and uncertain before, even if he said that he wanted the people to serve, he never implemented this, or in other words, the things he did seemed to be implemented, but there was still a back hand behind him, just like the special office of the prime minister in Baoding that no one knew.

If you want such a person who is good at improvisation, Yang Rui knows that the evaluation of himself by the Kuomintang is improvised, he will probably laugh and lie down. All he knows is the Sigong model, the Deng Gong model, and now the American model, which are all ways to industrialization, and foreign and domestic politics will determine which model China adopts. China is not a Marxist country, the great powers did not blockade themselves, and there was no powerful Soviet Union to help them build industrialization, so it was a natural choice not to follow the Sigong model), and it was indeed quite a headache to stop cruising left and right as before. Even if it does not represent the interests of the people, Yang Rui has only two choices: either refuse or accept, and whether he refuses or accepts, his position will be revealed and cannot be moved.

In Wang Jitong's judgment, Yang Rui's most likely choice is to categorically reject the partition bill, and then declare that the power of Greater China belongs to the 50,000,000 people, and he is likely to draw a line with the feudal group on behalf of the 50,000,000 people. If this is the case, then it is very likely that he and others will replace Qi Qingyuan's role to persuade him to force the palace, because once Yang Rui leaves Tonghua and returns to Beijing. He will certainly take countermeasures, perhaps purges, perhaps stepping down. Anyway, no matter what the means, it is impossible for these people to stay in the political arena anymore.

But what I never expected was. Qi Qingyuan jumped out first, and then Cai Yuanpei staged a coup d'état in the capital, and after Yang Ruijiu died, he actually denied his previous position and became exactly the same as his own people. At first, Wang Jitong couldn't believe it, but when he heard about the religious politics and clan policies that followed, he felt that at least eighty percent of what Yang Rui said was true. It's just that he still has to keep arguing with Zhang Taiyan to see if he really thinks so, or if he is a delaying plan for himself, so that he can catch it all in the future.

After listening to Yang Rui's industrial strategy for the threat of the United States after the tax reduction. Wang Jitong said categorically: "It will be done, if it is only three years before the war to start the construction of the military industry, it will definitely be too late." ”

"The arms industry can be started three years in advance, and the military-related industry was started in the 18th year of Shenwu, that is, after the economic crisis in the United States, and the investment depends on the situation. I believe that by the time of the thirty-first term of the United States, we will be able to build a pragmatic industrial base. Although the scale will not be as huge as that of the United States, it is also comprehensive, and it is at the level of combat readiness. The Tohoku oil field, which I mentioned earlier, will also be developed at this time. In case of an accident on the North Side, we have another source of oil. Yang Rui said.

He said that Wang Jitong still had a serious face, so he had to say again: "If there is really a war with the United States, no matter how our industry is built, it will not be able to fight it." The only way is to drag on the current industrial scale for three to five years, and when the hybrid pops up, we have hope of victory. ”

"But will it come out in twenty years?" Wang Jitong asked. For this kind of weapon that destroys heaven and earth. He was afraid before, but now he wants to study it early.

Wang Jitong knew the power of the atomic bomb. Zhang Taiyan didn't understand this, he said: "As long as there is this." The Americans will surrender? ”

"It's not the Americans who surrender, it's the cessation of the war and the signing of a contract." Yang Rui corrected. "We have long had the principle of hybrid bombs, and the real difficulty is to turn theory into practice, and twenty years should be enough."

Yang Rui thought about the information provided by high school textbooks and many time-traveling texts, and felt that at least he was completely correct in theory and path, and he couldn't study the atomic bomb for 20 years, so it could only be said that his character was not good, and the sky would destroy China. Seeing that Zhang Taiyan and Wang Jitong were still worried, he simply popularized science: "Don't mention the previous wars, since the European war, the war has entered the era of mechanized warfare, which is different from the previous railway war." Because this is a country's overall industrial warfare, and it is an all-weather, all-terrain operation, the competition is the country's industrial strength.

In the last two years of the European War, mechanized warfare has already revealed its embryonic form, and there are ...... planes, chariots, and fleets, and whoever has more and stronger machinery will often win the war. According to this mode of war, with the industrial potential of the United States, it can challenge the whole world. However, the mode of war after the mechanical war is dominated by hybrid bombs, because since the hybrid bombs can annihilate a city, they can naturally annihilate the American fleet that is being assembled, and the war has evolved into throwing mixed element bombs at each other, but throwing this thing on a large scale will result in the destruction of the world, so the war will be controlled in this mode.

Our purpose is very clear, not to occupy the United States, nor to grab any colonies, what we want to do is to consolidate the interior, build the country, and then integrate into the world economic system, so as to continue to give full play to our scientific and technological advantages. If the United States fails to crush us, the result will be self-evident, the next industrial revolution will not have anything to do with it, the future of the world is still on the Eurasian continent, and the world hegemon may still be Britain. That's what we're going to do. ”

The military theory chapter and Wang don't understand, but the outside world, including foreigners, have a very high evaluation of Yang Rui in military affairs, which is due to the performance of the Renaissance Army in Europe, and even more thanks to the German generals' respect for Yang Rui. At this time, when he heard him talk about the future war model, Wang Jitong suddenly asked: "Then will the United States also develop hybrid bombs?" ”

"Of course they will, but the intelligence bureau has started to make arrangements a long time ago, and will make arrangements in the future, there will be many physicists who have accidents of one kind or another, and the Americans will only realize this problem after we study and equip the hybrid projectile, and we will have a first-mover advantage of three to four years." Yang Rui said. "And the mixed element bomb weighs several tons, how to throw it is also a big problem, it is not the crude patchwork of torpedo bombers and submarines in the Sino-Japanese war, they are deadly weapons to destroy the world. By the time the Americans had solved all these problems, the war would have been over long ago. ”

After Yang Rui finished speaking, there was silence in the flower hall for a while. Zhang Taiyan, who didn't understand physics and was freed from Yang Rui's description earlier, said: "Then what if the Americans went to war in the twenty-fourth year of Shenwu? I'm afraid that by the end of the war, there will be no shadow of the hybrid bomb. ”

"There is indeed a possibility that there will be a war without the development of the hybrid bomb." Yang Rui nodded, "But we still have bats." A war with the United States is actually a naval war. If the naval battle is won, then how many American troops in the Philippines will have to surrender. As I said earlier, the war in Europe has only revealed the rudiments of mechanized warfare, but not everyone understands what mechanized warfare really looks like, how it differs from the previous stands, how armies should fight, and so on.

The same is true of the US military, although there are some people who advocate that aircraft carriers will eliminate battleships, but even these people do not know how aircraft carriers should fight, how they should be formed, and how they should command in the future, but I know it! Yang Rui pointed to his head with great confidence, "I know how aircraft carriers should form and fight." What can be taken. Although what is not known is very specific, the basic principles are completely clear, and the details can be solved through more than ten years of exploration. I believe that we can delay until the day when the hybrid element bomb is developed, if Shenwu starts a war in twenty-four years.

So during this time, when I think about it, the threat of the United States is not a big deal. If he wants to fight, then he will fight. I believe that in the first two years of the war, he will be defeated one after another, but in the third and fourth years, he will be able to gradually regain his disadvantage by relying on his industrial superiority and begin to crush us with aircraft carriers and aircraft, but by this time we have stopped playing mechanized warfare with them. The Mixed Element Bullet will put an end to everything! If she still doesn't compromise, or if she also makes a hybrid bomb, then she can throw the mixed element bomb at each other, and see that the North American continent is uninhabited first. Or the East Asian continent is uninhabited. Hehe, Japan is estimated to be sinking this time, but on our side. The east of Xi'an can be all nuclearized! ”

"So what can a bat do?" Yang Rui longed for the sinking of the Japanese land, but Wang Jitong had no choice but to fight like that. So wondering what bats can do.

"Bats can see without eyes, borrowing its principles. It is possible to invent a machine that can detect the presence of an obstacle such as an airplane in front of it by receiving the echo of its own radio waves. The war of the future is an aircraft carrier war, the aircraft carrier is attacked by aircraft, and if we have such machines, then we are ready before the American planes arrive, and we can even ambush them. Yang Rui said: "Even if it is mechanized warfare, it will take two or three years for the Americans to understand what the mode of mechanized naval warfare is and where the key point is." In the twenty-fourth year of Shenwu, the Americans will definitely not be able to develop bats, and even if they do, they will be much behind us, but in the fourth or fifth year of the war, we have not developed a hybrid bomb, so the situation is not optimistic, and the naval battle is likely to have been lost, and the next ......"

Yang Rui can basically betray the party, what will happen next. If the Americans really want to land, they must have at least 10 million troops, and at most 20 million, and they will have to divide their forces to deal with Japan. As with the anti-Japanese resistance, it was difficult for her to enter west of Yichang, and her most likely strategy was to use the B29 to carry out strategic bombing after occupying the coastal areas. However, by this time, the Soviet Union may have occupied Beiting, Mongolia and Northeast China, and it seems that China will still be unlucky without a head of state.

Yang Rui thought about the worst situation, and felt that the construction of the third line, the Sichuan Oilfield, the Shaanxi Oilfield, and the Panzhihua Iron Mine still managed to be built, and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway should also be built before Shenwu 20 years......

"Actually, will the Americans really come to war with the whole country?" Yang Rui was worried about the worst-case situation, and Wang Jitong suddenly felt that this matter was really too exaggerated, how could such a vast Pacific Ocean not accommodate China and the United States.

"Of course!" Yang Rui nodded, although the United States has always cared about human life in later generations, but in World War I and World War, once the American imperialism, which prides itself on being God's chosen people, starts a war, it will mobilize millions. Thinking of this, Yang Rui suddenly felt that China and Germany seemed to have reversed their fate, and the battlefield of World War II was not Europe, but Asia.

In a trance, Zhang Taiyan suddenly said: "I don't understand how to fight, but I want to say that once the war starts, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not be able to hold it." Where the clan gentry are not reliable. In northern dialect, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been a mallet, and their own people have fought very hard, but once a strong enemy comes to attack, they will immediately raise their flags and surrender. Don't look at how nice and dignified those gentry are saying now, they really want the Americans to come. They will be similar to the Manchurians coming, and they will be obedient people at once. ”

Zhang Taiyan is a native of Zhejiang. Although Wang Jitong is of Mongolian species, he was born in Jiangsu since he was a child. When he heard this, he actually nodded and said, "I agree with Uncle Mei's statement." The gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not united, always thinking that they are smarter than others and can help the world, while others are all villains. Not to mention wars, it takes countless efforts to unify ideas, and I am not in favor of handing over this place to the clan. ”

"Ahh Yang Rui was surprised, "How many places in the country can be handed over to the clan?" Or, are there several parts of the country where people can come together? ”

"I won't talk about it outside the gate." Wang Ji said, "Nineteen provinces in Guannei." The gentry of Fujian, Anhui and Shanxi provinces are extremely grouped, and the gentry of Liangguang, Sichuan, Hunan, and Jiangxi are reluctant, and many of the clans there are because of the contradictions between the Turks and the guests. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are really not good, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are used to being obedient to the people, and the young may have some backbone, but the young ones can't be the masters at all. ”

Fujian has been xenophobic since ancient times. In the 21st century, there is still xenophobia, this Yang Rui knows, and Anhui has a Huai army, but how can Shanxi be better than Hunan. Yang Rui asked strangely: "What's going on with Shanxi and Hunan?" ”

"The gentry of Shanxi are the most united." Wang Jitong glanced at Zhang Taiyan. Zhang Taiyan also nodded, "The gentry in Hunan are fine, but the situation in Hunan is the same as in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." It's just that there are too many smart people, and there are many such people. There are many ideas, but fortunately, Hunan people have more blood. It's not like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it's all clear streams. ”

"It's your way, I'll see how to adjust it." Zhang Taiyan spoke up, he had obviously gone through his thoughts, and he said, "I'll just talk about religion and clans. The former is the right way, in revolutionary terms, revolutionary theory is to be codified before revolutionary action, and this is true of us, and this is true of the Bolsheviks; In a big way, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also like this, and there is Kang Youwei, who has not succeeded, and he is taking this path. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Taiyan knocked his head with a fan and said with a smile: "Kang Youwei wanted to build a Confucianism before, I was in Wuchang at the time, and I scoffed at it, and I didn't want to go to Kang Youwei to do things that were not done well after 20 years."

It is indeed better to hide the constitution in religious teachings and make people believe in it than to keep the constitution in the Inspectorate, but you are not right to use Buddhism. It is not that our country does not have religious wars, but it does not manifest itself in the form of religious wars. For example, was the Boxer Rebellion a religious war? Before Cixi, without the instigation and acquiescence of the gentry, the peasants could not have made trouble to that point, but the gentry did not come forward, let the senior brother come forward, and did not hang a religious sign, but only regarded the White Lotus Sect as a rebellion.

There were also lesson plans that spread all over the country during the Qing Dynasty, and the potential exclusion of foreign believers by peasant associations, all of which were strongly supported by the gentry. We are not without believers, we are not without people who have dedicated themselves to the faith, there are many such people in the countryside, they are equivalent to the diocesan priests in the West, if anyone is unruly, unfaithful and unfilial, they will go to persuade and denounce. No matter how Buddhism is converted, it cannot bring these people into it, and without these people, then religion will not have appeal, so Confucianism must be included in religion. At this point, Kang Youwei sees it most clearly. ”

"But Master Y is a Buddhist." Yang Rui said to Zhang Taiyan, "You can't say that he is a Confucian student, right?" After the earthquake in Japan, Master Y almost became a living Buddha, isn't this appeal enough? ”

In Japan, Master Y's prophecy is blocked, and the accurate prediction of the earthquake is all due to the emperor's supernatural powers, while in China, believers know that Master Y personally went to the earthquake area with 3,000 people to chant sutras to ward off the disaster. According to Yang Rui's instructions, these people hid in the Guanyin Hall in Asakusa District, the miracle of the epicenter, and they were unscathed in the fire, which is simply a living miracle. After this time, the believers basically regarded Master Y as the reincarnation of Nyolai.

Zhang Taiyan didn't know that the mastermind behind all this was Yang Rui, he heard Yang Rui talk about the appeal of Master Y, and only said: "No matter how superstitious the people are about Master Y, they are also lowly people who are not very literate, etc., and these people can't do anything except blind faith." There are many things that only the gentry can take the lead, and no one else can replace them. ”

"Then what about religion? Without borrowing the supernatural powers and followers of Master Y, the effect of the Reformation would not be too great. Yang Rui said with annoyance, admitting in his heart that what Zhang Taiyan said had some truth. Excluding Confucianism, monks may not be able to call for wind and rain underneath.

"The solution is very simple, just integrate these three religions." Zhang Taiyan said. "In this way, Confucian scholars, Master Y, and Zhang Tianshi can all use them."

"Is this okay?" Yang Rui looked at Zhang Taiyan, and then at Wang Jitong, very surprised.

"Absolutely." Zhang Taiyan said, "Not only can I be, but I already have it." During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Zhaoen, a Fujian person, founded the Trinity Church, which combined Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into one, and now there is a Trinity Church ancestral hall in Putian, Fujian. ”

After Zhang Taiyan finished speaking, Yang Rui was still a little stunned, he was really lonely about some things that happened in domestic history. Seeing Yang Rui's dry glare, Zhang Taiyan suddenly smiled and said, "There are also people who don't know things?" ”

"I ......" Yang Rui also smiled, "I used to be in the United States, and after returning to China, I made a revolution, and now I have a lot of opportunities, how can I have time to study religion!" Didn't I just consult with you? ”

When he said this, Wang Jitong also laughed. Zhang Taiyan said again: "Since the spread of Buddhism to the east and the beginning of Taoism, some people advocated the integration of the three religions during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Zhang Borui of the Song Dynasty was the first to propose the integration of the three religions, and then Bai Yuchan, Xiao Baozhen, Wang Chongyang, Wang Daoyuan, Zhang Sanfeng and others also advocated the integration of the three religions; By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Wang's mind had a wide influence, and Lin Zhaoen's Trinity was very much influenced by Lu Wang's mind.

The Reformation can be based on Trinity, with Confucianism as the main body, followed by Buddhism and Taoism. Since Master Y and Master Zhang Xiaotian have a wide range of followers, I don't know if you can convince the two of them to switch to Trinity; Or use the Triune Religion as a scoop to persuade them to build a unified religion that integrates the three religions, which means to unify the three religions and return all laws to the sect. Master Y and Master Zhang Xiaotian are the founding patriarchs of the Guiyi Sect, so that the clan side can not start from scratch, and how the clan is managed can be directly written into the teachings of the Guiyi Sect. ”

"Convince Master Y and Master Zhang Xiaotian?" Although Yang Rui didn't smile, the corners of his mouth curved.

"Yes. Since he was able to convince Master Y to convert, why not let him start a Protestantism? Zhang Taiyan said seriously. Since the Reformation is so important to you, what if he wants it, then give him the mountains of gold and silver. ”

"Hmm." Yang Rui nodded, and he asked again: "Then what to do?" How do you write the doctrine of this Trinity? ”

"The Ministry of Rites can gather some people to write it, but it is not finalized. It is better for the formal teachings to be written by Master Y and Master Zhang Xiaotian themselves. However, on the Confucian side...... "Buddhism and Taoism have people, but only Confucianism has no people." Zhang Taiyan thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "You can't let Kang Youwei write it, right?" What if he gets the word out? ”

"Kang Youwei ......" Yang Rui remembered the culprit who provoked the restoration, and said: "Kang Youwei is being locked up now, maybe he will die at some point; It's just that you don't die, you can't figure out anything. Uncle Mei, let's not talk about Kang Youwei or not, how do you get the three of them together? ”

"These people are all immortals, just write the teachings and go out after the retreat." Zhang Taiyan said.

"That's right, I thought you wanted Master Y to be vulgar." Yang Rui thought about the Unified Sect, he really didn't know what this thing was, but since Zhang Taiyan said that this sect existed hundreds of years ago, he didn't think it was ridiculous.

"If religion is treated in this way, the clan can be included. Clan governance or something, it still depends on the situation, and if it doesn't work, the local government still uses liuguan. Zhang Taiyan said, "Actually, how do I feel that we did this, and in the end we still went to the people." Whether it is a feudal feud, a local official, or a clan, isn't this local autonomy? Local self-government is the foundation of democracy, and now we are just making a unified religion. Why do I feel so awkward?! ”

"Awkward?" Yang Rui also felt that he had complicated things, and the result was still going to the Democratic Republic. He seems to have a special ability to complicate simple things, and then take a group of people around in circles.

"It's a little awkward." Wang Jitong also smiled, "This is local autonomy, it's just that there is more unification of religion, this is no different from Kang Youwei, he also did this at the beginning, but he didn't do it." ”

"There's nothing awkward about it." Yang Rui didn't admit that he was wandering around, let alone that he and Cai Yuanpei had the same path, but said: "No matter how difficult the math problem is, the answer is just a number." I don't like to look at the answers, I like to look at the equations and calculations because I'm afraid that I won't be able to control the situation and that it's better to go through the whole process. Okay, let's do it, do you have any comments? ”

"No comment!" Seeing Yang Rui raise a glass, Zhang Taiyan and Wang Jitong also raised a glass, and the three of them tossed blindly for a long time, and finally had a drink. (To be continued.) )
