The streets of a city in the country are supposed to be very clean roads, and they are full of garbage thrown by people.

If this is seen by people who don't know, I'm afraid it will definitely be a big surprise.

Because in the past, the cities in China may not be easy to say, but they are maintained very well in terms of hygiene―――――― of course, this is also because the city government is tight, to paraphrase a citizen who is not very satisfied with the city government, that is...

"The officials in the city government are all from the sanitation! I don't do anything all day, I just think about the health of the city..."

Well, what should I say, after all, not every citizen is satisfied with his city.

For example, in some cities, there are often citizens who are dissatisfied with their local government for one reason or another. Especially when the municipal governments of these cities do not do a very good job in employment, security, and other places, but do a very good job in environmental sanitation, it is inevitable that some citizens will complain about their own municipal governments.

However, although it is a complaint, these citizens usually tell the truth, because those local governments are indeed doing quite well in sanitation.

That's why the streets are now so sordid and somewhat dirty. After all, such a scene usually only occurs before the formation of the national government, or in the year immediately after its formation. Since the establishment of the national government, there have been very few, especially in recent years, and there has been almost no more...

After all, the penalty for soiling a city can be high, especially after the formation of the Communist government. After the central government issued a number of documents and forcibly abolished most of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the finances of local governments became much more difficult.

In this case, it is natural for local governments to seize any opportunity to make a fortune. And fines are undoubtedly the best opportunity to make a fortune.

It's like spitting, throwing confetti, and the like, and you can't be fined much at one time, but it adds up? No matter how small it is, the number is too large to be very objective, not to mention that it is still an income, isn't it?

In the case of desperate fines from local governments. Naturally, the citizens complained more about these guys who were 'engaged in sanitation'. However, this desperate fine behavior has also ensured the cleanliness of the city.

But now it's a bit like this...

In fact, this is also related to the indulgence of local governments.

Although the local government has always been very strict about environmental sanitation and other things. But on such a day of celebration, it is clear that it is impossible to continue to be as strict as in the past.

Therefore, the local government has rarely relaxed on such a day. In addition, it was in the midst of a frenzied celebration at that time, and some citizens were not as careful as they used to be. One comes and goes. Naturally, there are many more things on the ground that should not be more.

As a result, it was directly led to the early morning of the second day of the celebration, and when the citizens went home one after another, they were left with devastation...

In this regard, the most tired are the sanitation workers, who have been relaxed for many years, usually at most they sweep the dust and leaves, looking at the piles of garbage on the street, there is a feeling of being speechless...

Such a scenario. They hadn't seen it in years...

But no matter how amazing you are, you always have to get busy with your work first. After sighing for a while. The sanitation workers picked up their brooms and began to join in the cleaning work.

I have to say that after getting used to cleaning up garbage such as dust and leaves, cleaning the piles of firecrackers and other garbage on the street actually has a very touching feeling...

"It's..."

Cleaning vigorously, a sanitation worker couldn't help but shake his head.

Anyway, this kind of thing may not be encountered once in a long time, and those sanitation workers are only idle for a long time, and they are finally busy, so they don't complain much.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

With the signing of the "Six-Power Naval Treaty," the whole of China was jubilant when the news reached China. A large number of celebrations have also taken place, and as mentioned earlier, almost all large cities have celebrations organized by the government.

Even smaller cities have organized their own celebrations.

Naturally, with such a large number of celebrations, there will definitely be some surprises, which is also inevitable. After all, it is definitely not easy to maintain order in such an era, but fortunately, the casualties of this kind of thing are not very large, and in such a festive day, it does not have much impact...

However, with the end of the festivities, after a period of revelry, the atmosphere in the country gradually returned to normal. Naturally, during this period, the sanitation workers can be said to have been busy for a while, to paraphrase a sanitation worker, that is, in one day, all the idle time of the past few years has been filled. /

Of course, it is usually the late working hours, or the younger ones. Those who have experienced the pre-Qing period usually scoff at this kind of talk.

After all, they who have lived through that era remember very well what the city was like in the past...

It cannot be said that the city of that period did not have the concept of sanitation, but in most cases, the city was not clean, which is one of the reasons why these sanitation workers were willing to work. After all, anyone would want to live in a cleaner place...

On the other hand, in their spare time, the common people talked about the Six-Power Naval Treaty, which was signed almost as if the Great Powers had recognized China's status. And this status is higher than France and Italy and second only to Britain and the United States.

In the past, although many people have long felt that their country has become much stronger than countries like France and Italy, this is the first time that it has been recognized by the international community, which has also made many people. In particular, those enthusiastic young people who care about current affairs are excited, but most of the time they still focus on work and study.

After all, as some ordinary people, the distance between state affairs and them is inevitably too far.

Except for some people who are interested in politics. The vast majority of people, in fact, just regard this as a talking point.

However, although the Chinese people are very interested in the "Six-Power Naval Treaty", they are not very interested in the "Defense Treaty with the Soviet Union".

This can be seen from the sales of newspapers and newspapers during the Six-Power Naval Treaty, as well as the sales of newspapers during the Treaty on the Defense of the Soviet Union.

Although the sales of newspapers in the latter period were also good, they can only be described as bleak compared to the former.

This is not surprising at all. Because before the Washington Conference was held, the major newspapers in China had already begun to exaggerate the importance of the "Six-Power Naval Treaty." There are even newspapers that are very aggressive in claiming that it is absolutely impossible for China to accept a lower ranking than Japan. There are also newspapers that believe that the status of the national government can reach a new height. Whether or not it can be recognized by the international community and the great powers depends entirely on the success of this meeting...

For the Chinese people who have suffered humiliation for nearly 100 years, the current strength of the country and the improvement of its international status are naturally obvious to all. It is also because of this that the Chinese people will support Yan Shao and the Guoshe government so much, and it also enables the Guoshe government to suppress other political groups in the country all the time. As a result, they could not threaten the position of the Nationalist government and the Nationalist Party in the country.

Even now. The National Socialist Party has spread all over the world, whether in the United States, Europe, or Southeast Asia, and almost all branches of the National Socialist Party exist.

Even some parts of Southeast Asia, which originally belonged to the traditional areas of the Kuomintang and the Chinese Revolutionary Party, are now almost squeezed out by the National Socialist Party. This shows how popular the Kuomintang is in the eyes of today's Chinese.

You must know that the Kuomintang and later the Chinese Revolutionary Party have been developing in these areas for many years, and their roots are much deeper than those of the National Socialist Party.

However, since the Kuomintang defeated the Japanese army in Shandong, and at the same time sent an expeditionary force to Europe to participate in the war. At the same time, it also played a crucial role in the Battle of Verdun. The Kuomintang has greatly increased its position overseas, while the living space of the Kuomintang and other parties has been squeezed...

Of course. After all, it is deep-rooted, and no matter how good the Kuomintang government is, it will definitely not be easy to uproot the Kuomintang and other organizations in Nanyang and other regions with these things. But who would have thought that the National Socialist Party and the National Government would just do it...

The victory in the First World War may not mean anything, after all, there were many participating countries at that time, and China was just one of them.

However, the success of the northward and westward expansion strategies, as well as the achievements of expanding the territory, made the Kuomintang government truly occupy a dominant position in the hearts of overseas Chinese. As a result, almost all of the actions of the Kuomintang overseas were very smooth, and a large number of overseas Chinese began to join the Kuomintang and other parties, but the Kuomintang and other parties were deserted, and they could basically be described as a crowd...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the Chinese people are well aware of the current increase in China's national strength and the improvement of its international status, and because of these, they support the Guoshe government and Yan Shao from the bottom of their hearts.

But after all, this has not been openly recognized by other countries, and even during the First World War, countries such as Britain and France only admitted that China had become a great power. As for how strong it is, is this...

Even if the Chinese people already know that they are actually a strong country, to be honest, they really don't know how strong it is. After all, there is such a thing as national strength, which is really difficult to calculate sometimes.

After all, after snatching most of Russia's territory, China has become the largest country in the world in terms of continuous territory. Even in terms of overall territorial area, it is only inferior to that of the United Kingdom.

But if we can calculate how powerful a country is by looking at the size of the territory alone, then India in history will not perish. China, with a population of more than 400 million, will not be bullied for nearly a hundred years. And Tsarist Russia, which had just fallen not long ago, was not very disappointing in the First World War.

What European gendarmerie. What a steam roller, is a complete disappointment.

Therefore, if you look at the area alone, although many Chinese people are excited. But there are still many Chinese people who feel a little weak-hearted. I feel that although the area is large, the national strength is not necessarily strong...

Of course, there are many evaluations of their own countries in China, for example, some relatively large newspapers often evaluate China's national strength today. And it is believed that the current China, in terms of overall strength, has reached a level of parity with Britain and the United States, at least in the event of a full-scale war. China will definitely not lose...

Some of the more modest newspapers have analyzed that China's national strength may be inferior to that of Britain and the United States, but at least it is stronger than Japan. And on a par with France―――――― which was considered a relatively high evaluation in the past, after all, France was known as the first army power in Europe, but later they met Germany, the world's first army power.

But after all, these evaluations are all domestic, and it is certainly cool to boast about yourself. But I always feel a little ......... Guilty?

Hence the common people. What I look forward to is to get other more international recognition, such as recognition and recognition from other powers...

From a certain point of view, the so-called Six-Power Naval Treaty is actually to bring together the six most powerful countries in the world, and then conduct a relatively simple ranking according to factors such as strength―――――― of course, this treaty does not include Soviet Russia, otherwise it will really include the most powerful countries in the world.

In a way. The seven countries mentioned above can even be called the P5 in later generations―――――― at least in terms of strength, these seven countries are already relative to other countries.

And because of that. When the people at home learned that their country had attained a status second only to Britain and the United States in the Six-Power Naval Treaty, the people would be so jubilant. This was not only because of the great success of China at the Six-Power Naval Treaty conference, but also because of the recognition of China's position by other powers.

Of course, while reporting on the success of the meeting, domestic newspapers did not forget to report on the delegation's experience in Washington, which also caused a certain amount of dissatisfaction among the people in China against Britain and the United States.

It is somewhat surprising that the Chinese are much more dissatisfied with Britain and the United States than with Japan, but it seems that there is nothing surprising when looking at the problem from a different angle.

Because the relationship between China and Japan is not very good, it can even be called a semi-enemy country. Then no matter what means your enemies use against you, it is obviously a matter of course.

But what about Britain and the United States? In the past, China had never done anything to be sorry for them, especially during World War I, when the Nationalist government even sent hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops to Europe to fight in the war, helping the British and Americans defeat Germany and other Central Powers.

And what about the UK, is this how it repays China?

――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, the Washington Treaty is valued because it involves whether the great powers recognize and recognize China's strength and international status.

This is undoubtedly very important for the Chinese people who still lack some self-confidence.

As for the "Defense Treaty with the Soviet Union," this treaty was directed entirely against Soviet Russia.

For this, the Chinese people are not very interested. In fact, the Chinese people in this period were different from history, and their hostility towards Soviet Russia was very great. The reason for this is that the domestic media have been propagating a statement that Soviet Russia has always believed that the regions currently occupied by China such as Siberia and Central Asia should be the territory of Soviet Russia.

In other words, one day in the future, it is very likely that Soviet Russia will cause a declaration of war against China and find a way to regain these lands from China.

Although there are currently a few people in China who feel that the Kuomintang government should not have snatched these two regions from Russia. What is the difference between this and those powers that once bullied China, and because of this, they provoked an enemy like Soviet Russia, which simply outweighed the losses.

But the vast majority of the Chinese people support this act of the national government, for them. Feng Shui takes turns, since Russia could bully China back then, then China can also fall into the trap now.

And since the two areas mentioned above have been occupied by China. Then these places belong to China, and no one wants to snatch them―――――― which is especially important for Chinese people who have just aroused self-confidence, especially some Chinese people who have gone from inferiority to the other extreme!

No matter what kind of regime Soviet Russia is, no matter what kind of country it is for China. Since they want to snatch the territory they have just occupied from China, the Chinese people will be hostile to them and regard them as enemies!

But on the other hand. They were not at all worried about the threat of Soviet Russia.

After all, according to the newspapers, they have an invincible Wehrmacht, and at the same time there is such a moat as the Ural Mountains. Not to mention that Soviet Russia needs to allocate a considerable part of its forces to the position on the Eastern Front, even if Soviet Russia sends millions of troops to attack, the hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht troops stationed in the Ural and Astana Military Regions can rely on strong and permanent fortifications. Defending against the Russian offensive ―――――― of course. When reading these news reports, there is one thing that the Chinese people must not know, that is, these strong and permanent fortifications are still under construction.

In other words, at least until the completion of the project, the Wehrmacht will probably struggle to resist the Russian offensive.

But on the other hand, there is both the top level of the National Commune Government and the top of the Ural and Astana Military Districts. For these two points, the Soviet defense line attaches great importance to it.

After all, as long as there are these two lines of defense, then even Soviet Russia will launch a full-scale attack on the Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht could also defend itself against Russian fortifications with a smaller force. It was even possible to inflict a lot of casualties on the Soviet army with strong fortifications.

And even if the Soviets were to outnumber the Wehrmacht, as long as the two lines of defense could withstand the Soviets for a while, it would at least give the Wehrmacht enough time to mobilize reinforcements from the rear.

Even if the Communist government had made up its mind, it could have mobilized more troops from the rear―――――― but then it would have been a decisive battle.

Is it useful to do fortifications or anything? It's useful, at least for now.

Moreover, the reason why the historical Maginot Line was breached was also due to a large political factor. After all, if it weren't for the political factors that made it impossible for the French to build the Maginot Line to the rear of Belgium and other countries, the French government would not have been able to let the Germans bypass the Maginot Line and dealt a fatal blow to the French.

Of course, this will be the case, in fact, there is also a big financial factor in it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Because the "Defense Treaty with the Soviet Union" was mainly aimed at the Soviet Union, they preferred to see how strong and respected China was today, and the people were not very interested in this treaty. At least nowhere near as much as the Washington Treaty was of great interest.

But then again, the Chinese people are a little interested in the doctrine that Soviet Russia believes in, after all, the doctrine of Soviet Russia is very similar to the traditional Chinese land equalization, and it has a bit of a peasant uprising, but the working class is united in Soviet Russia...

However, no matter how much Soviet Russia's proposition is in line with the tastes of the Chinese people, since Soviet Russia has become a hostile country to China, then the Chinese people will not be able to welcome it.

It is also for this reason that there are some scholars who yearn for Soviet Russia and intend to bring back some 'advanced technology' from Soviet Russia. But at home, they have been treated with an unprecedented cold reception.

And the Communist government, although it did not arrest them for promoting red ideas, also forbade their right to give speeches in public places.

Naturally, such a move will definitely attract a lot of criticism, such as freedom of speech, academic freedom, freedom of thought, and so on. But the national government was indifferent to this, not to mention the national government, and even ordinary people were not very supportive of it.

The reason for this is that who called Soviet Russia a hostile country.

Bringing in the things of the enemy country to their own country, and calling the citizens of their own country to run to faith, is already very kind to the simple people, not hanging the title of a traitor.
