Those classmates who had similar temperaments to Xu Chengfeng gathered in Xu Chengfeng's dormitory one after another. Xu Chengfeng, who had already returned, seemed not to see everyone coming in and continued to sit in a daze. The classmates also had gloomy faces, and the atmosphere in the dormitory was particularly depressing.

.

The silence was finally broken by someone, "This guy named He graduated from a foreign military academy and knows that his own prestige will be undermined by others' ambitions!"

Having an emotional breakthrough, the classmates immediately shouted: "I think this He is just exaggerating! He opened his mouth and said there were hundreds of thousands of cannons, but did he really have hundreds of thousands of cannons? Then

It’s all just words that have no basis!”

Xu Chengfeng felt that this explanation made him feel better. As everyone expressed their opposition to He Rui, Xu Chengfeng slowly felt that something was wrong.

Even if he didn't like He Rui, Xu Chengfeng could feel a kind of honesty from He Rui. He Rui did tell about the strength of the two armies on the European battlefield, but it was obviously not to show off, but to describe what kind of war was happening in Europe.

Xu Chengfeng didn't like everything He Rui said, but Xu Chengfeng felt that He Rui might not be lying.

How can we prove whether He Rui is a liar? Xu Chengfeng stood up.

Seeing Xu Chengfeng walking away quickly, someone among his classmates shouted at Xu Chengfeng's back: "Chengfeng, where are you going?"

Xu Chengfeng did not answer and went straight to the classroom where He Rui was interviewing. When he opened the door and walked in, he saw that the classroom was empty except for He Rui sitting at the table writing something.

The last sunset shone on He Rui through the window, giving him a golden-red color. At this moment, Zhong Yifu had already caught up with him. The two of them walked towards He Rui together.

He Rui stopped writing and looked at the two young men in front of him. One was handsome and the other looked strong. There were intense emotions under their gloomy expressions.

"What's going on with the two classmates?" He Rui asked.

Xu Chengfeng suddenly realized that it was rude to do so and quickly introduced himself, "Captain He, my name is Xu Chengfeng. This is my classmate Zhong Yifu. I have taken the liberty to come here without any intention of contradicting you."

He Rui was not afraid at all and couldn't help but chuckle. He wrote down the names of the two people and then answered: "Why are the two classmates here?"

"Excuse me, Commander He, what do you think about Europe..." Xu Chengfeng asked. Speaking of the key point, Xu Chengfeng felt that breathing became difficult again.

Zhong Yifu, who was next to him, asked loudly: "Since Commander He knows so much about European affairs, what is the gap between China and Europe?"

"In my opinion, the difference is that Europe has accumulated effective policy formulation and policy implementation capabilities. This is the biggest gap between China and Europe at the moment."

Xu Chengfeng had never heard anyone say this before, and he didn't know how to ask the question.

"Sit." He Ruiming said.

Xu Chengfeng and Zhong Yifu sat down. The fine dust floating in the air began to fly away lightly due to the movements of the two, dancing in the sunlight that enveloped He Rui.

"I have heard that science and technology can save the country, industry can save the country, and education can save the country. Of course, there are also sayings such as the republic can save the country. Have you heard of it?"

Hearing the word "saving the country", He Rui saw the eyes of the two young men opposite him light up. They both replied at the same time, "I've heard of it," "I've heard of it all."

"Policies are proposed to solve practical problems and must have clear goals. If the above statement is called a policy, such as saving the country through science and technology, the policy goal is to develop science and technology or to save the country."

Xu Chengfeng immediately replied: "Of course I want to save the country."

"If saving the country is regarded as the goal, we must make it clear from whose hands we will save China."

"Nature comes from the hands of the great powers."

"What kind of policies have the great powers formulated that force us to save China?"

Xu Chengfeng and Zhong Yifu were stunned. They thought for a while before replying: "They forced us to sign various treaties and forced us to cede land and pay compensation."

"This is the action in their implementation of the policy, not the policy itself. Let me give you an example, the Opium War. Before the outbreak of the Opium War, China earned more silver from the British every year than the British earned from China. The British did not

The more they use gold and silver, the less they use gold and silver. The more they trade with China, the less precious metals they lack for trading. This reality goes against British economic policy. The British didn't just want to sell opium from the beginning, they tried

All kinds of commodities. Finally, they discovered that the opium trade could earn huge amounts of silver, so they began to dump opium into China. China did not accept the British doing this, so they banned opium in Humen and banned opium. Finally, the war broke out. The British supported the opium trade.

Subordinate to the British economic policy. In order to implement the policy, the British government would not hesitate to launch a war. However, just a few years ago, the British signed the "Sino-British Anti-Smoking Treaty" with China for their commercial interests and health policies.

Ban all trade in opium. Have you heard of this?"

Xu Chengfeng and Zhong Yifu both knew about the Opium War and the British dumping of opium into China. But they had never heard of the Sino-British Anti-Smoking Treaty. For a while, they didn't know whether to believe He Rui's words.

However, looking at He Rui's frank expression, both of them tended to believe that He Rui was not lying.

Zhong Yifu was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he finally choked out, "The British are so shameless."

"It is meaningless to discuss things that do not exist. The British are indeed shameless, because the British do not consider shameless things. But the British have the ability to formulate policies and implement policies. This is why China is not as good as

The reason for the great powers. The great powers of the world are strong because they have acquired policy capabilities through self-development. China is weak because it lacks policy capabilities. Therefore, it often treats ends as means and means as ends."

"Commander He, what level of policy capabilities does China have?"

"Probably to the extent of taking it for granted..."

"Commander He, what are the policy capabilities of the great powers?"

"What kind of policy capabilities are you asking about?"

…

Unconsciously, more than an hour passed during the question and answer session. The light in the room gradually dimmed, and at first no dust particles in the air could be seen. As night fell, Xu Chengfeng and Zhong Yifu could no longer see clearly everything in the room.

Even in the darkness, the enthusiasm of Xu Chengfeng and Zhong Yifu did not diminish at all. The two of them gradually discovered that if they looked at the world according to the ideas proposed by He Rui, the world would still be the same world, and the great powers would still be the same bunch of great powers, but they would no longer be ambiguous.

Qing. has been able to gradually understand the real strength of some great powers.

At this moment, He Rui opened his pocket watch, and the laser watch hand pointed out the time in the darkness. He Rui said: "I have to go back to my residence to finish today's work, so let's get here first."
