Therefore, there is a view on the Internet that the Chinese are not united enough, which I absolutely cannot agree with.

If we really want to talk about unity, almost all of the more than one billion people in China have been moving in one direction with one heart in the past ten years, which country in the world can compare?

To go deeper, the unity pursued by the Chinese is a kind of great unity, that is, the ancient so-called great unification.

And in order to achieve great unity, it is necessary to break small unity...... This is actually quite understandable, but if everyone is in small groups, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to achieve great unity. Therefore, Chinese history is actually about breaking and eliminating small groups again and again and then achieving reunification, and after reunification, it also prevents the "small unity" of local generals...... This is called self-respect, and it is to kill the head.

As a result, it is often said on the Internet that a Chinese is a dragon, and a group of Chinese is a worm, on the contrary, a Japanese is a worm, and a group of Japanese is a dragon.

There is indeed some truth in this, it is true that the Japanese can easily form small groups, but this does not mean that they are united, and if they are united, will there still be so many political parties in Japan that are pouring into each other? If this is called "democracy," then what kind of unity is there among Japan's more than 3,000 large and small gangs fighting each other for territory and interests?

So this should be further said, a group of Chinese is a worm, what about 100 million Chinese? What about the 1.3 billion Chinese? Is there any country in the world that can bring together a population of 1.3 billion and still be able to maintain a steady diet? You must know that India has a population of 1.2 billion, but there are more than 20 states, and their language, writing, and even laws have not achieved substantial unity.

"What are you thinking?" Commander Zhang casually poured me a cup of tea.

"Oh. It's nothing. That's when I realized I was wandering.

Not sure why. I used to think that China is not good, that is not good. But now I always feel that it is not easy for China to come this way.

Maybe it's because I agree with the old man, but I think ...... The main reason is that they have not participated in the process of changing China before, as the so-called "don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt", often people who have not contributed anything or have paid less, will look at the country's development with that kind of provocative mentality.

But now, I'm involved in the process myself, and I know how hard it is to go every step of the way, and how difficult it is to develop into what I am today decades later. How many people need selfless dedication and even sacrifice.

"Actually, I didn't expect to make so much money." I said, "I should have been forced, to be exact." ”

"Oh? Forced? Commander Zhang was a little surprised.

So I told the company about the loss of more than one million and had to find a way to make money to make up for it.

Commander Zhang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It seems that the shopping mall is similar to the battlefield, and they are all about being put to death and reborn." ”

After a pause, Commander Zhang continued: "Actually, this time I came, the main thing is not to talk about this, as long as the company you open does not affect the combat effectiveness, we are also happy to see the advanced company solve the living problems of a large number of demobilized soldiers, and even solve the problem of some troop funds." I called you this time to talk about the Soviet Union. ”

"Problems with the Soviet Union?" I'm a little puzzled.

"Yes, it's the problem of the Soviet Union." Commander Zhang replied: "We don't know that you didn't do this before, but it turns out that the Soviet Union has fallen into this predicament. Your advanced companies had a lot of dealings with the Soviet side. Let's talk about that! ”

"Oh!" When I heard that, I understood.

This is mainly due to the long-term hostility between China and the Soviet Union, coupled with the fact that information is relatively closed in this era and we are concentrating on the Vietnamese devils. Therefore, the understanding of the Soviet side is still extremely limited.

"Let's put it this way." After thinking about it, I replied: "The reason why the Soviet Union is in this predicament is of course related to the war they started, and the blockade of the Soviet Union by the United States also played a certain role, but the main thing is that its economic structure is irrational. ”

"The structure of the economy is not reasonable?"

"Yes!" I said, "If it's just a short-term local war, or a war between a big country and a small country, then the structure of the economy is not so important. For example, the Anglo-Argentine war and the war between us and Vietnam, but if it is a full-scale war or a proxy war between two great powers, then the economic structure is the factor that can play a key role in addition to weapons and equipment. ”

Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but nodded: "Just like when Little Japan invaded us, they only need to use the navy to surround our coastline...... Most of our foreign aid was cut off, and at that time, our country's industry was very weak, so we could only rely on broadswords and spears to deal with the machine guns and tanks of the Japanese devils. ”

"That's the reason." I said, "The situation in the Soviet Union is somewhat similar to what we were back then, except that it is not so strict. Its heavy industry is very developed, they have a large number of factories that can make aircraft, artillery, tanks, but the light industry is very weak. If such an economic structure is fought in a short-term war, it is fine, but after a long time, the lives of the people will be affected. As a result, there is the current situation in the Soviet Union, on the one hand, airplanes cannot be sold, and on the other hand, daily necessities are urgently needed. That's why we were able to exchange those pots and cans of stuff for the plane. ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Soviet devils never dreamed of this, they originally thought that it would only take a few months to control Afghanistan, and they didn't expect that we would deliberately drag out the Vietnam War...... He also caused this situation to be of his own accord. ”

Commander Zhang is right, the Soviets are not stupid, if they knew that they were going to fight two wars that had been fought for several years and had no hope of ending, then they would definitely think about whether their internal economy would be able to bear it. Their mistake was that they had miscalculated both wars, and they were stuck in a quagmire.

"But then ...... Commander Zhang was a little worried, "If we resume trade, will we give the Soviet devils a chance to breathe, so that they have more capital to prolong the war he supports." ”

Commander Zhang's consideration is certainly reasonable. By sending a large number of light industrial products to the Soviet Union, we actually relieved the domestic pressure on the Soviet Union. This meant that the Soviet Union was involved in the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam for much longer. The longer the war goes on, the worse it will be for us.

But that's just conventional thinking.

"Of course it will!" I replied, "But isn't that exactly what we need?" ”

"Do we need it?" Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but be stunned: "How can it be what we need?" ”

Seeing this, I knew that although Commander Zhang had his own unique side to the strategy of the battlefield, the reform of the troops, and even the development of the economy. However, it is very unfamiliar in terms of international strategy.

However, it is not surprising that the older generation of revolutionaries faced either an anti-aggression war or a civil war, and the only time they went abroad was to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so it is not surprising that they did not have much opportunity to face this kind of international game.

"Yes!" I replied, "On the one hand, we are in the middle of the United States and the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union collapses prematurely, then we will lose this thing that can balance the Yankees." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but nodded: "So it's right for us to trade with the Soviet Union." ”

"On the other hand." I continued: "Only this war continues." We can make more money from the Soviet Union......"

Commander Zhang couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this, and only nodded after a long time: "Yes, yes, look at my head......"

I couldn't help laughing at myself as I spoke.

What is obvious is that the continuation of this war is not only due to the continuous military assistance of the United States and other Western countries, but also not only to promote the reform of the armed forces, but also because it is beneficial to China's reform, opening up, and economic development...... Only if this war continues to be fought will the imbalance in the economic structure of the Soviet Union continue to deteriorate, and only in this way will the Soviet Union continue to sell heavy industrial products at a low price and buy light industrial products at high prices, which is exactly what our country needs.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: It is said that the United States is a country that makes war money. I didn't expect that we actually made a fortune in the war, and this amount of money alone may be much less than that of the United States. However, it is very important for the economic development of our country.

"At the same time, the predicament of the Soviet Union is also a wake-up call." I said: "Today the USSR will be in trouble because of the imbalance in the structure of the economy, and tomorrow it will most likely happen to us." In other words, in the future, we must try to avoid such mistakes in our economic development, otherwise it is very likely that one day in the future we will also be constrained by others. ”

"Yes!" Commander Zhang smiled: "The heroes see the same thing, this is also what I want to say." Other words...... In the future, in our reform and opening up, we must attach importance to agriculture and industry, and we must grasp light and heavy industries in industry. Otherwise, if any country surrounds our coastline like Little Japan, we will fall into another bitter war! ”

In fact, I am not worried about this, because I know very well that in the near future, China's industry will develop in an all-round way, and even develop into the most comprehensive industry in the world...... That is to say, no light industry is spared, and heavy industry is developing like that. So much so that "Made in China" is being used all over the world, and it has become a veritable "world factory".

Therefore, when I saw a post on the Internet by someone "If the United States fights China, how long will China last?", I wanted to laugh, and I was even more happy when I saw someone saying that as long as the American aircraft carrier surrounded China's coastline, China would collapse.

All the industries in China are complete, agriculture is self-sufficient, so does it still make sense to surround it? If China is surrounded...... First of all, the United States, Britain and other countries that import a large number of "Made in China" products have risen in prices because they cannot obtain light industrial products.

Then the developed countries have to reopen light industrial factories, which does not say how much it costs, you must know that these factories have low added value, make little money, and are labor-intensive, can the people in developed countries who are fattened still endure this kind of hardship?

Let's say what China has to lose...... That's true, this loss is because foreign trade has been cut off, and factories doing export business have to be closed.

If the United States really wants to surround it, it will surround it for decades, and we will live around it...... Anyway, everything can be produced by itself, and the only shortcoming energy problem is also solved in Pakistan, and in the end it depends on who can survive.

It was already midnight when I returned to the battalion headquarters from Commander Zhang, but Zhao Jingping, the instructor and several other cadres were waiting for me with nervous expressions and some excitement.

"What's wrong?" I asked, "Don't sleep anymore?" ”

"Battalion commander, let's talk about the situation first!" The instructor asked, "What are the instructions from the superiors?" ”

"Hmm!" I understood when I heard what the instructor said. They're not stupid either. I know that Commander Zhang is looking for me for the plane. Is this a fear that our superiors will punish us for this, or what are we doing?

"Alas!" I sighed intentionally and said, "Are we making it too big?" ”

"I'll just say it!" Zhao Jingping said with some annoyance: "This shot shot the first bird, wouldn't it be good for us to make a few million?" This time I made hundreds of millions! ”

"Alas!" The instructor also shook his head and said, "I knew we should have bought some bulldozers, take our time." ”

"Battalion commander." It was the guard Xiao Liu who saw that something was wrong, and he hesitated and asked me: "What about the superior...... What do you mean? ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at them and laughing: "Look at you like this, it's like you've lost your baby......

Only then did everyone understand that they had fallen for me, and they all smiled wryly and rolled their eyes at me.

"Seriously." The instructor was still a little uneasy: "The superiors really didn't interfere with our business?" ”

"Nope!" I replied, "I would like to commend us for our contribution to the country." Say yes...... It has solved the urgent needs of airlines, created employment opportunities, and solved the living problems of a large number of demobilized soldiers. ”

"Oh!" Only then did the cadres completely relax their minds.

"Comrades!" The instructor continued: "That's what I think, the superiors trust us so much, then we shouldn't just think about ourselves. If this were in the past, the money earned by our advanced company would only be enough to solve the living problems of demobilized soldiers related to the synthetic battalion. Now, we've made so much money, we can't just care about ourselves with a hot head! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingping replied: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will take care of the world, and we have to think about other people now." ”

……

Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod my head secretly.

There is a saying that "it is easy to share adversity." It is difficult to share happiness and share it", which seems difficult to understand on the surface. But when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

In many cases, we are forced to share hardships and hardships, and if we are not in the same boat, everyone will not be able to eat and walk around, so we will have to share hardships. However, once the bitterness is exhausted, there will be various problems of unequal distribution, and all kinds of contradictions will appear.

But now our comrades-in-arms can not only share weal and woe but also share happiness, and they are truly "sharing blessings and hardships".

"By the way, battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping said: "Just when you went to the meeting, we received a call from Yang Xianjian, and two more planes were successfully delivered. ”

"Oh!" I nodded, no wonder they were so nervous.

"Or ...... Will we expand the scope of benefits in the future? The instructor said, "That is, to extend the benefits of the synthetic battalion to other units!" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work!" I shook my head: "If we expand the welfare, then which troops will we expand to?" It's normal for a synthetic battalion to be a small unit, and it's normal for a company we built ourselves to have these benefits, but if there's no reason to expand it to other troops...... There will be some contradictions, such as other troops are not reconciled, why are there such a huge disparity in the welfare of the same soldiers, why can they be specialized, and so on. ”

"That's just as well." Everyone couldn't help but agree.

"So what should I do?" Then the cadres couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, all of them stared at each other with big eyes.

I couldn't help but feel funny when I saw this, I used to make no money to spend, but now I don't know how to spend it when I have money.

However, this is not surprising, the soldiers are all accustomed to the province, and what they usually handle is only a dozen or dozens of allowances, and the great thing is to capture a Yue devil alive and award a color TV for a few hundred yuan, and they feel that their palms are hot, where will there be financial management methods in the face of hundreds of millions of yuan.

"It's actually simple!" I said, "We don't have to focus on welfare, we just need to let the advanced companies expand their operations." As soon as the company expands, it will require more manpower, and if we still give priority to hiring demobilized soldiers as before, it will actually solve their living problems for the creation of jobs in other units. ”

"Yes, yes, this is a good solution!" My advice was quickly recognized by the fighters.

"With so much money, we have a branch office in every place."

"Do you want to recruit people according to the number of the troops?"

"That's a good feeling, this time it's another army!"

……

I couldn't help but shake my head when I heard what the soldiers said, the soldiers may be able to fight, but they still lack experience in doing business, so what they say makes people feel unrealistic.

What I hope is that the company's expansion will be slow, even if it has funds, it will not be rushed.

What is clear is that no matter how much money there is, if it does not enter into a sustainable development, it will not be long before it is empty.

On the other hand, if the expanded branches themselves can be profitable, then this snowball will get bigger and bigger, and a virtuous circle will be formed to make more money and open more companies, and more companies will create more jobs. Only in this way can we digest as quickly and as many of the unemployed homeless people as possible in society, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of social security. (To be continued......)
