When Xu Chengfeng heard that the person sent by his father was asking for a meeting outside, his brows frowned. In the past two years, Xu Chengfeng has also communicated with his family and his attitude towards his parents is becoming increasingly unacceptable.

It’s not that my parents’ attitude is difficult to understand, but because I can understand it too much, Xu Chengfeng really doesn’t know how to communicate with his parents who lack the concept of the country. When talking about these with his parents, Xu Chengfeng would rather go to the grassroots to hold a democratic life meeting with the soldiers. At the meeting, there are naturally no less things to worry about, but he can also see the progress of the troops in ideological construction.

The cadres and soldiers of the army discussed changes in their families and began to accept that they should be equal, democratic and harmonious. The system of oppressing people in the old era must be eliminated.

The contents of Xu Chengfeng's parents' letters are either direct or roundabout. In short, they will never leave their roots. They expect Xu Chengfeng to gain status and gain privileges to serve Xu Chengfeng himself and his family.

But after thinking about it, Xu Chengfeng finally called the people sent from his family in. The one who came was a clan brother of Xu Chengfeng. After seeing Xu Chengfeng, he said with a sad look: "Brother, your father is in poor health, send me to invite you back."

For a moment, Xu Chengfeng even felt that this was probably fake. However, looking at the clan brother's expression, he felt that this guy might not dare to tell lies. He asked his father what was wrong. The clan brother said better. Xu Chengfeng felt that his father was indeed sick, but he had a chronic disease. He wanted the clan brother to bring money back, but then he thought about it and said, "There are many good hospitals in the northeast. Go back and tell my father and ask him to see a doctor in the northeast."

The clan brother didn't expect there was such a solution, but he frowned and asked, "Brother, are those doctors really good?"

Xu Chengfeng's national character face turned black, "Even Chairman He is sick, he will look for those doctors to see a doctor. Do you think it's OK?"

"Chairman He? Brother, are you talking about Marshal He!" The clan brother said in surprise, and then said happily: "Is that the imperial doctor?"

Xu Chengfeng was too lazy to explain, but just replied: "Better than the imperial doctor!"

After the main thing was finished, Xu Chengfeng talked to his clan brother about the current situation in Henan. It was similar to the content collected by the Northeast government intelligence system. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei were all very poor. As early as the water conservancy project built in the Qing Dynasty was disrepaired, the Beiyang government lacked financial resources and only focused on levying heavy taxes. The minor flood and drought disasters could cause many people to go bankrupt. The population in Northeast China skyrocketed, and most of the immigrants came from these four provinces.

Xu Chengfeng's family is from Zhoukou, which was called Chenzhou in ancient times. It was a fertile place with abundant water resources. Because of this, the struggle between the warlords and the Xu family was very fierce. Xu Chengfeng refused to go home or even was unwilling to contact his family. One of the main reasons was this.

The clan brothers were all round and round to invite Xu Chengfeng back to his hometown. Xu Chengfeng was finally angry and shouted, "Lao Liu, I'll tell you. Take the message back to my father. If my father really thinks I'm very popular and better than him, just listen to me and sell all the land at home. Take out the money and let the family members go to school and study. We have carried out land reform in Northeast China, and when we arrive in Zhoukou, we will also have land reform. At that time, there is no land, and there is nothing. Now sell it quickly, at least you can earn some. Just say so much. Go back."

After saying that, Xu Chengfeng stood up and ordered the guard: "Buy him a ticket and ask him to go back quickly."

The clan brother watched Xu Chengfeng leave and did not dare to say anything more.

Xu Chengfeng's anger had not completely dissipated here for a while. He was preparing the exercise content in a depressed mood. Cheng Ruofan was already excitedly rushing in, "Commander, good news. It is said that a group of retired bureau personnel from the German General Staff Department are going to our northeast to help us make comprehensive suggestions according to the model of the German General Staff Department. I think it's just a copy."

Xu Chengfeng was finally a little happy. The German General Staff was well-known. Although he was defeated this time, the reason for the failure was not the failure of military command, but was consumed by the Allies that were several times more powerful than Germany's national strength. In terms of war command, the German General Staff should still be the strongest in all countries.

In the joy, Cheng Ruofan continued: "Also, Professor Carl will hold a training class for senior management of our army to talk about geopolitics."

Xu Chengfeng couldn't help but frown, "I heard that Professor Carl was doing training at the Party School, which almost made the class very popular."

Cheng Ruofan replied enthusiastically: "I wrote to Xu Jia and Chief Wu, who both had a high evaluation. They said that after listening to this lesson, they began to get rid of the victim's mentality and felt that the world was wide."

"Victim mentality?" Xu Chengfeng savored this word. He Rui said similar things, but the Party School has carried out ideology, social system, political economy, organizational model, and democratized education in the past three or four years. There are also a large part of it fighting against the old ideas of the old era, which is really a lot of things. The most common thing about the victim mentality is the psychological process of how to communicate with people at work.

Professor Carl teaches geopolitics, which tells about macro issues between countries. Even in the face of military exercises, Xu Chengfeng was also interested.

A few days later, Professor Carl finally arrived. A group of senior soldiers were preparing for paper exercises, and they didn't have to go there. Seeing Professor Carl who had no special features, Xu Chengfeng felt that the scholarly temperament of this person was superior to his military temperament.

Facing soldiers, Professor Carl did not adopt the teaching method he had previously faced with civil servants. He asked a question at the beginning, "What do you think Europe's view on Chinese civilization?"

One problem makes a kind of senior soldiers attracted. At present, senior soldiers of the Northeast Army are very clear that the Northeast Army's mission is to fight against the Japanese army and fight what He Rui said is the "strategic opportunity period". To put it bluntly, it is to defeat the Japanese army head-on, to have no worries in the war to liberate the whole of China, and to wholeheartedly resolve the separatist forces in various parts of China, and to reunify China.

After several years of construction in the Northeast, the Japanese army was completely defeated. Although the senior soldiers had great enthusiasm, they were still not confident in their hearts. In this case, except for a single and unique guy like Xu Chengfeng, no one would consider how foreigners view China, let alone how foreigners view "Chinese civilization".

Professor Carl only adjusted the entry point according to different subjects of the lecture. Of course, he knew that these soldiers actually did not know how Europe viewed Chinese civilization, and did not keep it a secret, but continued to talk happily, "Europe is the strongest region in the world, so they naturally think that European civilization is the best. However, in the eyes of European countries, China is a civilized country, a civilized country with backward technology. However, China has the power that makes Europe feel incredible. Even though it is so weak and even after such huge changes, the Chinese civilization itself has not collapsed and is not divided into pieces, and each province has not become independent into different countries. All the powerful people with power have aimed at restoring unification without exception. Such strength is really an unimaginable force."

Listening to the translator converting Professor Carl's content into Chinese, Xu Chengfeng's first feeling was, 'Isn't this nonsense?' China's dynasty changes, and heroes emerge in the troubled world. This is the era that China hates the most. If we don't try our best to restore unity, then will we still be Chinese!

But even though he was unhappy, Xu Chengfeng immediately had a question. He was about to ask a question, but Cheng Ruofan asked first, "Professor Carl, is the unity of the country's territory or the unity of centralization?"

As soon as this problem arose, not only Professor Carl's eyes immediately became sharp, but the expressions of senior soldiers also changed a little. Xu Chengfeng looked at Chief of Staff Cheng Ruofan, and felt that this guy's change was really huge. Cheng Ruofan's previous problem was that he could not grasp the key points, and he had a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. Seeing his flexible thinking, he often walked around the surrounding details.

This time, Cheng Ruofan proposed the difference between "unification" and "centralization". With this question alone, Xu Chengfeng felt suddenly enlightened, and the discussion pattern was raised to a higher level.

Professor Carl first asked Cheng Ruofan's name and then said: "Major General Cheng, many European countries also seek unification when the country is divided, but unification is just the country's borders. When the border is restored to its original border, unification will end. In a unified country, centralization cannot be established. Culturally, there is only one alternative in Europe, which is France. Not only is the intensity of France's centralization unable to be compared with China, but centralization is completely incomparable to China in terms of recognition in France. This is also the reason why European civilization respects China. Not only are the warlords who split the country trying to rebuild a centralized state system, but even ordinary Chinese citizens also expect to be under the management of the central government."

The senior soldiers of the Northeast Army were all patriotic and were hostile to European countries. But the intensity of hostility was different. However, although Professor Carl talked about China from the European perspective, although it was translated through translation, I couldn't help but feel a sense of broad vision or even sudden enlightenment.

Professor Carl continued to tell his views with passion, "10 years ago, I went to Japan and was amazed at the national centripetal force of the Japanese people. However, Japan's dynasties have not changed for thousands of years, which can be called a national habit. This time I came to Northeast China, but revisited the old place. I have traveled to Northeast China before and have contacted many people. China's dynasties have changed many times, but centralization, as a state organizational form in Chinese civilization, even if a illiterate Chinese understanding of the country is established based on centralization. They believe that such a political system can bring fairness and justice. To establish a centralized political system, it takes a huge price to go through huge pain and sacrifice. But Chinese civilization is not afraid of such sacrifices and dedication. At least I personally respect Chinese civilization."

Xu Chengfeng looked at Cheng Ruofan and saw that although Cheng Ruofan listened seriously, he was not moved. This surprised Xu Chengfeng even more. You must know that five years ago, Cheng Ruofan was a supporter of Germany. If he had heard the German scholar and retired major general talk about his respect for Chinese civilization at that time, Cheng Ruofan would be moved and cry loudly.

But now five years later, Cheng Ruofan has been listening to Xu Chengfeng's speech without any trouble. Xu Chengfeng couldn't understand what kind of situation Cheng Ruofan had experienced.

Professor Carl paused for a moment after telling Europe's view of Chinese civilization, or his view of Chinese civilization.

The Versailles Peace Treaty stipulates that the number of German troops cannot exceed 100,000. Now the number of Northeast troops has exceeded that of Germany. Compared with the remaining elite officers in Germany, the officers of the Northeast Army in front of them are unusually young. Compared with the remaining officers with Junker as the core in Germany, the reactions of these young Chinese officers are also unusually full of vitality.

The young major general Cheng Ruofan, who can distinguish between unity and centralization, has a beautiful appearance. With his European appearance, he looks only 20 years old. Even if Cheng Ruofan is 30 years old, he still has a political understanding that is better than a German major general. Perhaps this is the inner strength of Chinese civilization.

As for He Rui, the leader of these young officers, Professor Carl is more willing to regard He Rui as a politician than a soldier. He Rui's understanding of geopolitics and He Rui's view on the international situation all amazes Professor Carl.

The two had two private conversations, using a mixed model of Japanese and English-French. He Rui did have the desire to overthrow the world order established by Britain and France, and He Rui also had the idea of ​​solving the surrounding geopolitics. This is also the reason why Professor Carl was willing to provide geopolitics teaching courses for He Rui.

If He Rui unified China and completed China's industrialization in the short term, Germany would be saved. An industrial country with 500 million people, even if the per capita industrial output value is only one-third of that of the UK. Since China's population is twelve times that of the UK, its national strength is four times that of the UK, which is enough to crush the British Empire.

Moreover, He Rui's judgment on Britain was very accurate. Britain's foundation was not the British mainland, but in India. Once Britain lost India, the British Empire instantly became a country on the edge of the European continent. A Britain with only the British Isles had no power to carry out a continental balance policy.

Germany's shackles will be completely shattered. As for France, Germany is not afraid of France at all. Since the Franco-Prussian War, the power between Germany and France has changed irreversibly. Germany's strong and France's weak pattern cannot be changed.

After adjusting his mentality, Professor Carl began to continue teaching. He was not prepared to deliberately induce the young people in front of him, nor did he think about misleading these young people. It was neither meaningful nor efficient to do so.

As long as these young people can broaden their horizons and allow them to see the world from the perspective of the world, these young people will never accept the current world pattern. If these young people can follow He Rui to complete China's industrialization, these young people will move towards the direction of dominating the world without hesitation.

At that time, Germany could fully utilize the huge changes in the world pattern to seek German interests. And in a situation where there is no need to worry about being backlashed by China.

Professor Carl talked for a while, and Xu Chengfeng asked a question, "Professor Carl, you said that China wants to get rid of the victim mentality. What is this for?"

"Victims will think that the whole world is targeting themselves. This mentality is neither realistic nor objective. The victim's mentality is a delusion. If you fall into such a mentality, it is the beginning of a tragedy for ordinary people. For the army and for soldiers, it is a disaster. Can a soldier who cannot look at the battlefield from a realistic perspective win?"

After hearing this, Xu Chengfeng nodded and felt relieved of the uneasiness in his heart.

Professor Carl wrote down the names of several wars in China and then analyzed: "From the perspective of military science, the Qing Dynasty had used all kinds of small means in these wars. But it was just small means, not real strategic arrangements. Because of the lack of specific information, I could not figure out the reason for those people to do this. But what can be understood is that the Qing Dynasty regarded other countries as fools. Of course, this must not be the real idea of ​​the ruling people of the Qing Dynasty at that time. However, from the result, they expected others to be fools and would pay more than their interests for unmatched interests. This is very unserious."

When the translator said the word "very unserious", a burst of laughter broke out in the classroom. The young soldiers had been criticized, and many of them had done very unserious things and looked at the problem from a very unserious perspective. When everyone heard foreigners say this, they were really amused. They were determined not to repeat the same mistakes.

Of course, there are also people who are quickly recording the courses taught by Professor Carl. One of them will be handed over to a special review department. This is the system, and He Rui also emphasized the need to pay special attention to the courses taught by Professor Carl.

Because He Rui had heard that Carl Ernst House Hofer, a major general of the German Army, and a master of geopolitics, passed on his student Rudolph Hess to Hitler, who served his sentence in the Landsburg prison, in the final chapter of Oriental Policy in "My Struggle".

He Rui believes that fascism, whether it is German fascism, Italian fascism, or the United States that has been genocide for hundreds of years and has a deep fascist tradition. As long as it is a fascist regime, it is an enemy.

However, when the country is facing a crisis, extreme nationalism is an effective means to gather the country. The comrades in the Northeast Army passed the political review and screened out those who were devoted to the organization for their crazy wishes. Because of this, this tendency is particularly necessary.

The Northeast Army must not be an extremely nationalist fascist army. It will only pull China into greater disasters and abyss.
