Chapter 388: Egoists
readx; At least he himself has never believed in these things, and even sometimes he wonders why these young people are so easy to fool, and his words that are obviously full of loopholes can make them abandon their lives and sacrifice their lives willingly for the revival of China in their hearts, don't they know that they let them go to the battlefield to fight with the Beiyang Army just for their own power?
And in that moment just now, he understood a little! It's not that they don't know that behind these slogans is Chen Jingyun's power, but that the world after the rejuvenation of China that Chen Jingyun depicted to them makes them unable to refuse, so that they are willing to shed their blood for the slogan of Chinese rejuvenation shouted by Chen Jingyun.

Not only him, but even Chen Jingyun was immersed in his fantasy of the revival of China for a while, and for a moment, he gave birth to an impulse that could not be expressed in words, an impulse that gradually moistened his eyes, just like when he was a teenager, when he was taken to the north by his father to stand in the huge square, watching the national flag gradually rise in the sound of the loud national anthem, no one said anything to him, without any explanation, when he was young, he was plucked the string in his heart, Although he did not know what the country and the nation were, and his father did not explain to him why he had such an impulse.
When he gradually grew up and realized that nothing was what he described on the surface, and after understanding what money and power were, he became a complete egoist, and the so-called country and nation were just a synonym for a tool for him, and the so-called patriotic impulse was already something that had been left behind, as it was in the previous life, and it was the same in this life, so he was indifferent to the countless people who were killed and injured in the Battle of Guangzhou and the Southern Jiangsu War, and a large number of people who fled to other places. They are, they', just a set of numbers.
Chen Jingyun, who calmed down, took a deep breath: "The country and the nation are really strange, obviously empty, but after shouting out, why do they still stir up the deepest impulse in people's hearts?" ā
Then he suddenly remembered a very important question: "Then am I patriotic or unpatriotic?" ā
If he talks about patriotism, if he talks about his previous life, although he did not betray the motherland, he has no preference for any domestic goods except that the house is domestic, he has done a lot of tax evasion, and he does not care much about the so-called diplomatic and other sensitive affairs, and even uses similar events to speculate, and he will never defend his own nation and country like others in front of foreigners, and even echo a few words for the sake of contracts, and he will not do less things to say that he is Korean, called "Ben, and American." Such a person, whether it is himself or someone else, does not regard him very much as a standard patriot.
In this life, just by virtue of his opposition to Yuan Shikai in the past two years, the unification situation has turned into the current war between the north and the south, causing countless people to lose their lives and be displaced, which cannot be said to be patriotic. If he is patriotic enough, then he should have supported Yuan Shikai with Cai Ye at the beginning, as long as the Nationalist Army and the Dian Army absolutely support the Beiyang Army, the three can join forces to wipe out those small warlords and completely lay the unification of China, as long as China returns to actual unification, even if it cannot make China rise as a superpower with Yuan Shikai's means, it will not be too bad, at least it is stronger than the current turbulence in China.
As for saying that Chen Jingyun will definitely do better than Yuan Shikai after reunifying China, that is nonsense, as a later generation, what he can bring to this country is some experience of later generations, such as he knows the important surname of tanks, planes and aircraft carriers, for example, he knows that nuclear bombs are the cornerstone of national security, but he only knows these general things, and he knows these things, but how to do these things is not something he can know.
Because these are related to some of the most basic issues, such as education and basic scientific research! And even if he is these, any person in power in this world knows the important surnames of these two, in fact, after modern times, the so-called time-traveler cannot bring too many actual surname changes to the country. Because the traverser knows the important surnames of education and scientific research and vigorously develops, but those in power also know these important surnames, even if they do not have a prophetic consciousness, they will do so, as for whether it can be done is a question of ability, and the problem of ability is not directly related to whether it is crossed or not.
To put it in a bad way, what Chen Jingyun was like before the crossing, what he was still like after the crossing, he may slowly become adaptable to this era over time, and slowly become mature with the growth of personal power, but there will never be a situation where he was just an ordinary businessman before, and after the crossing, he will become a military genius like Rommel, and he will not become a political and economic genius and a madman like Hitler in a short period of time. So in the past two years, he has always been very self-aware, in addition to firmly controlling the military power and preventing the rebellion of his generals at all times, he has almost full authority over army training and commanding operations, although he needs to approve every major battle plan, but in fact, as long as those generals maintain a majority opinion, then he will agree.
The most important thing is that he knows that he has to develop nuclear bombs, he knows that aircraft carriers are the future hegemons of the seas, and as for tanks and airplanes, these two things do not have advantages, because the countries of the world continue to develop in these two fields, and in World War I, these two reflected their great value, unlike nuclear bombs and aircraft carriers that will not make people realize their great value until after World War II.
In this way, although Chen Jingyun has changed a little, he can't change many things, and even he doesn't have the confidence that he can do better than Yuan Shikai. For example, when it comes to official corruption, the current southern republican political axe is not much better than that of Beiyang, Chen Jingyun has arrested at least hundreds of corrupt officials in the past two years, but it has not changed much, the corruption and bribery of middle and high-level officials still exist, but in order to maintain stability, Chen Jingyun has not moved.
Speaking of the happiness of the people's lives under his rule, Chen Jingyun can guarantee that the citizens of Yanjing are definitely much stronger than the citizens of Nanjing, at least there is no need to impose martial law at night, and there is no need to face the shelling of Jiangbei at any time, and the life of ordinary peasants is not necessarily much better than that of peasants in northern Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhili.
He Chen Jingyun is not an immortal, just an ordinary person, although he became the governor of Fujian with the help of the senior general of the new army at that time during the Fuzhou Uprising, although some of the expansion is also smooth, but to tell the truth, what he did did did not exceed the actions of a warlord, and others might do better than him.
If he had to have any advantage, maybe it was luck?
At least he hasn't been defeated or killed yet, and now he is still a figure who can compete with Yuan Shikai for hegemony, and his luck should be the number one in the country! You don't see that after the Wuchang Uprising, various characters appeared one after another, but they have all been eliminated in the big waves and sands, those prominent nobles in the late Qing Dynasty have been dilapidated, there are already former Qing Gege openly soliciting customers in the eight major alleys, and the warlords in various places are all in the governor, and there are no longer a few who have been defeated and died, and Zhu Rui is one of them. There are too many frustrated warlords and politicians in the Tianjin Concession and the Shanghai Concession, Tang Shaoyi is one of them, Cen Chunxuan and Wu Tingfang some time ago are also counted as one of them, and there are many who are forced to flee, and the famous Sun Wen and Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren are the biggest representatives. And there are countless people who are gradually eclipsed, Hunan Tan Yanmin and Li Yuanhong are one of them, even Cai Yi, who was in the limelight last year, and Chen Jingyun, who is known as one of the two heroes in the south, is now just a second-rate character, not to mention that compared with Chen Jingyun, even Tang Jiyao is not a bird to him now, and even a military commander under Chen Jingyun is more important than him.
After two years of turmoil, there are countless warlords and politicians in China who have fallen for various reasons, and there are not many people who can continue to stand on the land of China after the big waves have washed away, only a few people such as Yuan Shikai, Chen Jingyun, Tang Jiyao, and Lu Rongting.
This has to say that Chen Jingyun's luck is excellent!
And can this luck bring the same benefits to the country?
Chen Jingyun, who flashed these questions in his mind, was also confused for a while, and Chen Jingyun, who was thinking about these questions, sat on the sofa for a long time and couldn't find the answers.
In the end, he stood up, no matter what, only when he took control of the country in his hands, can he consider the national interests from his own point of view, when his own interests and national interests are tightly tied together, then his own interests represent the national interests, so that there will be no conflict.
After coming to this final conclusion, he suddenly realized that he was really a egoist!
Then look at the railway planning map that carries the revival of China, and then he looked at the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway plan made by the railway division, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway plan made by the railway division is very detailed, and the route selection has brought together the information of each station along the line, including the number of population, what minerals have been proven in the local area and the minerals that may exist, the railway department has begun to do preliminary route planning at the beginning of the year, plus the preliminary work done before, so the content of this plan is very detailed. It also lists in detail the required project costs for each road section, as well as how much economic benefits it will bring to the local area, and how much economic benefits it will bring to the Hangzhou and Shanghai economic circles, such as markets and raw materials.
In addition to these economic problems, Chen Jingyun also saw an extremely important military advantage, that is, he could transport his army to Zhuzhou and Changsha in Hunan Province through the railway, and then after the construction of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway was successful, he could go south to Guangdong, and he could also attack Hubei along the railway, and finally continue north along the Jinghan Line.
After carefully reading this plan, he pondered again, and his right hand was also used to tapping on the table, and the loud knocking sound even faintly reached the ears of Yanjing Kuang outside, and as Chen Jingyun's accompanying secretary, he also knew Chen Jingyun's habit, and when this finger hit the desktop or the armrest of the chair, it meant that Chen Jingyun had fallen into contemplation.
"What was he thinking?" Yan Jing Kuang couldn't help but guess in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to hear the voice of Chen Jingyun calling him in, and he immediately pushed the door in, only to see Chen Jingyun sitting behind the desk, and he didn't look up but said directly: "Send a message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and ask General Wu to arrange a meeting between me and the US Consul General in Shanghai as soon as possible!" ā
Although the dream of China's rejuvenation is far away, the dream has already begun, that is, the railway!
