Send the telegram from Beijing to London or Paris, and then return from there for twenty hours is enough. However, now the French politicians are on their way to Bordeaux. The president and the prime minister cannot immediately call the important members for a meeting. Instead, the orders from Britain and the United States arrived in Beijing first. △￠

Perhaps it has been opened. In the note from the British and American ministers to the Prime Minister's Office the next day, the two governments unanimously condemned the Chinese government for wantonly expanding the scope of the war. At the same time, they believed that Vladivostok and the Siberian Railway were important international channels, advised China to open up the railways, and handed over Vladivostok to all countries to jointly manage them to ensure the safety of local foreigners.

Listening to the British finishing the notes, Yang Rui said, "It turns out that only wars are just when they happen in Chinese territory, and when they happen in enemy territory, they are unjust." The next afternoon, French Minister Kant brought an ultimatum, requiring the Chinese team to withdraw from the Russian Far East within 48 hours and start peace talks with Russia again, otherwise France would enter a state of war with China in 48 hours.

Kant read the ultimatum with a pale face. He was shocked by the meaning of the country when he received the order last night. Now he declared war with China is completely seeking death. Indochina is under the sword of the Revival Army. Once the two countries declare war, those poor colonial troops will be flattened by the Chinese for less than a week. This is simply a handful of people.

France's decision could not be passed on to the Chinese ambassador to France in time, and could only complete this mission through the French ambassador to Beijing. Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai were a little surprised when they heard the ultimatum. In fact, they didn't know how much panic the German army had caused to the French politicians by the German army. President Raymond Poongalai immediately panicked after receiving a telegram from the Tsar Petersburg that he intended to transfer Russian main force into the East to fight. Russia's mobilization speed was slow. After Tannenburg was ambushed by the German army, the Russian army would put pressure on Germany on the Eastern Front again. It would be entirely up to the personal efforts of the Tsar and even the top leaders of the Russian army.

Now the Tsar is willing to go east, so it is estimated that when the next group of Russian troops arrive in East Prussia, France will have long been occupied by Germany. After discussions near Bordeaux, President Raymond Punegare, Prime Minister Viviani and various politicians, the cabinet immediately made a decision to put strong pressure on China - the Indochina is important, but losing an allies Russia will be a disaster for France. It is clear at a glance which is more important between the colonies and the local areas.

Representatives from Britain and France were also coming with the French. After Kant finished reading the ultimatum, the two countries added another advice, that is, the Chinese team should not enter Indochina. Once they enter Indochina, Britain and the United States will take necessary measures against China to prevent the war from expanding.

Seeing them singing so vigorously, Yang Rui stopped Xie Zhangtai who was about to speak, stood up and looked at the three well-dressed civilized people and said, "Gentlemen, can you only have your army in your logic, and you are not allowed to fight the Chinese army? If so, don't repeat the comments. Everyone can just fuck you and fight a battle. China is very poor now. But two million guns can still be collected."

Yang Rui was aggressive, and Ma Mule and Rui Enshi immediately became disgusted. They fully understood that Yang Rui's words were true. Even if Russia mobilized its troops eastward, it would not exceed one million people. The remaining one million troops in China went south and drowned the entire Southeast and even India.

Rui Enshi didn't know if the "Everyone" that Yang Rui said included the United States. When he was organizing the words, Yang Rui spoke again. "I originally wanted to fight a good battle with Japan and drive the invaders out. However, the Russians suddenly came. They thought that this would take advantage of the situation and rob the Mongolians. But who knew that the Russian army's combat effectiveness was tofu, and it was about to collapse. It was his retribution to this situation today.

Well, since Russia is coming, I want to teach him a lesson so that the Tsar can know how to be a human being in the future, but I never expected that your country will come again. Is the situation in Europe so dangerous and the German army is so powerful that your country can only rely on Russia, so that you have to advance and retreat with him in the Far East? Mr. Kant, this is a fundamental mistake! Germany, a country like this that cannot even support itself in food, will eventually fail even if it loses trade. France will persist as long as it persists, but, ah..."

Yang Rui's position seemed to have already stood on the side of the Allies. France was so critical that when he heard him say, "As long as France persists, he will eventually win," Kant's tears were about to fall.

"Mr. Kant, you don't have to wait for forty-eight hours. I can reply to you now that China's demands for Russia will not change; and I understand your country's situation very well and express deep sympathy for it. I think that even if the two countries are in a state of war, as long as our interests are not violated, both sides can declare no war. But if the French team enters our territory or launches an attack on our country, then don't say that China takes advantage of the fire and barbaric robbers or other things."

It is commendable that Yang Rui can make such concessions. Rui Enshi looked at him and felt that the great man had returned. After Yang Rui finished speaking, he said: "If the Prime Minister really sympathizes with Europe, he should open the Siberian Railway and hand over Vladivostok to the management of all teams to show that China does not stand on the side of the allies and is strictly conservative and neutral."

"Mr. Minister, China is a non-believer country, not a neutral country." Yang Rui reminded. "The northeast of the United States is originally our territory, and there is no legal basis for handing over to all countries to jointly manage. The consuls of various countries in Vladivostok are enough to ensure the safety of the expatriates. The Siberian Railway is a railway invested and built by Russia. If Russia no longer expands the war, our country can appropriately allow materials to be transported to Russia through some railways under China's jurisdiction."

Two requests at the note yesterday agreed, and the other did not. Rui Enshi and Mamull, who understood that this was the reply, went back to report immediately, and French Minister Kant realized that the Chinese's concessions were benevolence and righteousness, so he bowed deeply and went back.

As soon as they left, Yang Rui threw the ultimatum in his hand on the table and said with regret: "What a pity for such an opportunity!"

"It turns out that occupying the northeastern region is the bottom line of all countries. The South China Ocean is a snake nest, very close to the British and American colonies. If the Revival Army really wants to occupy Annan, Britain will declare war immediately. The United States will immediately turn against the embargo, which is extremely unfavorable for us to realize the current plan." The plan to deal with the declaration of war between Britain and France has long been discussed. Xie Zhangtai insisted that he could not move to Southeast Asia. Under his persuasion, Yang Rui, who was already half-hearted, agreed.

"It's still not strong enough!" No one wants to miss the opportunity, but when examining the strength and the current situation of the country, Yang Rui had to agree with Xie Zhangtai's point of view. In fact, from the perspective of strategic interests, occupying Annan, Malaya, and the Philippines will not only not change China's strategic environment, but will instead intensify conflicts with various countries. The gain is not worth the loss. Only the occupation of the foreign Northeast can completely move the bear's claws away from the top of his head, so that the remaining threats will only be in the Western Regions.

"Prime Minister, it's a meeting." Li Zilong, who was waiting on the side, saw that the time was coming, and his current origin prompted him.

"Okay! I'll be here soon." Yang Rui replied.

In the three years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, how to build this country has always been the focus of the work of the Prime Minister's Office and various ministries. Before, what Yang Rui arranged was just how to make a fortune in the European war, but no matter how long the war would last, it would eventually end. How this country should be built in a few years is worth exploring. Now that the country is truly stable, before the land reform plan is announced, we should re-organize the construction outline of the entire country to ensure that the work of each ministries can cooperate with each other. When Yang Rui arrived at the side hall, Zhang Taiyan of the Ministry of Rites was making a report on forging the national spirit and promoting Eastern culture.

The idea of ​​domination is extremely important. Without spiritual inspiration, no country can prosper. And when the people of a country all believe that the foreign moon is rounder than the original country, then the country is not far from destruction. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons of Confucianism, the Father of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the American freedom and democracy. Prussian militarism, Japan's Bushido, and later the Soviet Maxism, the Nazi's theory of racial superiority, the great and glorious North Korea's subjective thoughts, and even the Taliban fundamentalism. They all have a systematic theory that can subvert the audience's understanding of the existing world and then organize everyone. Or to put it more simply, that is, there must be faith! Only faith can one devote oneself; only faith can one be strong.

Zhang Taiyan's design obviously did not understand this essence. The ultimate direction of an idea that could make the country rise is death. That is, dying for faith is glorious, and not dying for faith is shameful. But he was better, he actually opposed it and asked everyone to survive.

"...The culture of the East is originally a natural culture. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Constant Constrain the people's hearts. To remove this confinement, we must advocate the theory of unity. What is the meaning of unity? It is easy to say that "allows everything to be in harmony"..."

Zhang Taiyan’s report is the most difficult of all the Shangshus. After listening to it for a while, Yang Rui felt more and more wrong. But at least he heard that he had finished the report and questioned: “Brother Mei, your 'cleaning of name-removing appearances', 'body is not a shape', 'the famous sayings of the truth', 'the truth is absolutely true', 'the world is a monk and a monk to practice Taoism?"

"Removing the name of the name" and "the body is not a form of shape" are similar to the Buddhist terms. "Removing the name of the name" means to break fame and fortune and get rid of the utilitarian world; while "Removing the body is not a form of shape" means to break the essence, what is the essence? All religious systems are the essence; the final "Revelation of the name" means not to believe that there is a supreme truth, which is somewhat similar to Heidegger's later "Everything is reasonable, and things are good and beautiful." Yang Rui agreed with these things in normal times, but if there is no absolute truth, how can the central government and the great leader rule the country in one sentence?

"It turned out to be a joke. What I advocate is to break religion and return it to nature. How can we ask people all over the country to become monks and practice Taoism?" Zhang Taiyan would have been angry for a long time, but he still gave in to Yang Rui.

"I'm joking." Yang Rui was frank, "But Uncle Mei, we are a centralized country. The equitable thing will make everyone do their own politics. If they cannot be united, they will be defeated by the enemy one by one. There are many lessons like this. Only when everyone is united can we defeat the enemy."

"I know that the country is centralized, but no matter what kind of centralization is, it is enslaving the people. Most of the people in today's government are honest and dedicated to the country. What can we do? How can we ensure that future people will not commit the reality of enslavement in the name of unity? I think: only by removing all the confinements of reason can people truly become human beings, and as long as real people can resist all tyranny." Zhang Taiyan said. He looked around and wanted to find support at the eye, but this kind of ideological discussion. Except for Qiu Jin who occasionally interrupted, the ministers of other ministries were basically just listening and not talking.

"We know that people want to be real people. However, there are too few people who can do this." Yang Rui shook his head. "Just like many people who feel that they are not ashamed of the emperor and are worried that their livelihood will not be safe. Many scholars and students think that they should believe in a kind of ideology to be powerful and safe. In the past, many people regarded the Three Principles of the People of the Tongmenghui Sun Wen as treasures, and the Revival Society, and the National Treasures as treasures. Going forward, Kang Youwei's Confucianism was also believed by scholars during the 1990s.

Have you discovered that governing the country and educating people are fundamentally the opposite concepts. Whether it is Confucianism, Sun Wen’s Three Principles of the People, or the national priestism we advocated before, they are united people’s hearts, and people’s hearts cannot be dispersed. If they disperse, the country will be difficult to govern, and then..."

"It turns out that only those who are truly unrestricted in their thoughts are the real pillars of a nation. Advocating the equitable world is to want to have more people like this. A country's national defense is not in the central court. It is the heart of the people. Only the people know that they must resist foreign humiliation and defend their country can last forever, and only the people are not fooled by bureaucrats. This is the same as the national juvenile priest we advocated before." Zhang Taiyan retorted loudly, he slapped the fan, and finally said:

"After all, this is the question of whether to believe in the court or the people. If you believe in the court, you must have an idea that is convenient for centralization. To unite in order to seek peace; and to believe in the people, it will naturally break all ideological constraints. Only when a person becomes a human being can he understand dignity, know how to resist, and be self-reliant."

Zhang Taiyan's speech was very inspiring. Everyone applauded. Yang Rui could only shake his head. This was a cabinet meeting, not a meeting within the meeting. Many things could not be said explicitly. He waited for everyone to applaud and asked, "Brother Mei, let me say that. The Japanese regard Bushido as the foundation of governing the country, and the whole nation is loyal to the Emperor. This is how his small country can have the spiritual inner world today; and what about us? What do we have? What do we believe in?"

"There are warriors in Japan, and there are chivalrous men in China." Zhang Taiyan became more and more enthusiastic. "Would kings, princes, generals, and ministers have better than Japan in dynasties for thousands of years. This spirit of self-reliance and resistance is better than Japan. This spirit can be the foundation of governing the country. You guys, why do we revolution? Is it true that we cannot live a life? No! We can't stand the incompetent enslavement of the Qing court, the Qing court loses power and humiliates the country. Only then can we see injustice and draw swords to revolution. This is our revolutionary spirit, and it is also the reason why we sacrifice our heads, spit our blood, and dare to trample on all moral precepts. If the 45,000 people in the country are chivalrous men, who dares to violate China?"

As soon as Zhang Taiyan's chivalrous said, everyone present laughed and applauded. Yang Rui had to admire his witty words. The real foundation of the Revival Society was from Zhejiang, and the reason why the elders in the society revolutionized was indeed because of the heroic righteousness. After everyone laughed, Yang Rui and others laughed and said, "The whole country is full of knights, how can the corrupt officials sleep?" After he said this, everyone laughed even more. After laughing, he said, "Today we are just having a day. Let's discuss whether we pass or not tomorrow or next."

After Yang Rui finished speaking, Yu Huizu, who presided over the meeting, said: "That's right. I'll read the reports of each department today, and then have a comprehensive discussion after all. The next one is..." Yu Huizu was fifty years old and his eyes were a little blurred. He immediately held his glasses and looked at the notebook and said, "The next one is the Ministry of Agriculture, Huanqing, it's your turn."

Tao Chengzhang had already prepared. He heard the sound and said with a clean cough: "My report is that agriculture is the mother of industry. The Prime Minister advocated the construction of an industrialized China. The Ministry of Industry has also made a lot of plans. Fifty-six industrial projects cost a lot of money, but the purpose is still to focus on the European War. Once the European War is over, many of these factories will be shut down.

In the morning, Mr. Huafeng's report planned many factories. After hearing this, I was only worried about one thing, which is who did the things made by these factories sell to? All countries have colonies, and all colonies are unequal markets for the sovereign countries to sell industrial products at high prices and purchase agricultural products at low prices. Unless our country can build a factory like diesel engines that only one in the world, these factories will eventually close..."

Tao Chengzhang has always been a strong point. He opposed the industrialization plan proposed by Xu Huafeng in the morning as the Minister of Agriculture. However, Xu Huafeng's report was repeatedly discussed with Yang Rui. Tao Chengzhang did not understand industry but wanted to oppose industry. Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng laughed. However, it was still interesting to hear his report. Although he did not understand industry, he understood agriculture.

"... Taking the United States as an example, the United States' industry is the most developed world, but why is the United States' industry developed? The root cause is the development of agriculture. Since the American Civil War, agriculture, as the dominant industry, has triggered and driven the emergence and development of industrial industries. Forward-oriented related industries such as the food industry, textile industry, leather and shoemaking industry accounted for more than half of the total industrial output value for a long time, while the backward-oriented related industries of agriculture directly stimulated and nurtured the development of steel and automobile industries.

Taking the automobile industry as an example, the Bureau of Commerce's survey data believes that more than 70% of American car buyers are farmers. This is why Ford sets the price of cars below 1,000 Huayuan, because farmers are sensitive to prices; while in European countries, no automobile company will set the price of cars below 2,000 Huayuan, because this is exclusive to the rich, and there are still few people who buy the car at a cheap price. The Bureau of Commerce's investigation found that the reason why American farmers are willing to spend money to buy cars is that they can not only drive into the city and travel far away, but also use this as a source of power for movement. The Bureau of Commerce's survey said that the reason why American farmers are willing to spend money to buy cars is that they can not only drive into the city and travel far away, but also use this as a source of power for movement. The second is that farmers can use cars to drag agricultural products to market to sell to avoid exploitation by middlemen.

From this we can see that agriculture is the prerequisite for industrial development. Only with developed agriculture can there be cotton with low prices and sufficient amounts, and there will be a prosperous cotton spinning industry; only with developed agriculture can there be food with low prices and sufficient amounts, and there will be a prosperous food industry; only with developed agriculture can there be an agricultural machinery industry and chemical industry serving agriculture, so that steel and chemistry can develop. It can be said that except for mining, all industries are derivative industries of agriculture, and only with developed agriculture can there be industrial prosperity.

Then, the situation in our country is different from the United States. The United States has more land and fewer people, while my country has more land and more land. Judging from the situation last year, my country is not suitable for the development model of American agriculture, but for the development model of agriculture in France, Japan, and Italy. In other words, American agriculture is actually agricultural mechanization. Farmers can harvest more as long as they plant a wide range of plants. The real key is how to have multiple lands. Our tractors are very popular in the United States, and they sell more than tens of thousands of units per year. In addition to the lowest cost of using diesel engines, what is more important is that the use of tractors can increase the farming area;

In France and other countries, there are few large tractors when they go there. There are, and there are only small agricultural machinery. If farmers in these countries want to increase their income, they can only find ways to deal with fertilizers in addition to developing crop rotation and making full use of land. In this regard, I call it agricultural chemistry, and the use and popularization of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides is the basis for increasing income. After the end of the European War, I suggested that my country's synthetic ammonia explosives factory be converted into ammonia fertilizer factories and promote it in more than 400 governments across the country to increase land fertility and help farmers increase their income. The first generation of highly toxic agriculture, in addition to promoting and using non-edible crops, can also be used as appropriate under supervision. In addition, hybrid rice should be invested in and strive to achieve initial success within ten years to increase the yield of rice per mu to the rice..."

Tao Chengzhang led a team abroad to inspect various countries last year, and he also saw through domestic agriculture in the past two years, so he had a clear idea of ​​how to revitalize agriculture. However, his speech involved industry. Although he cited an example of the path of industrialization in the United States, it still had inspiration for China's industrialization.

There are only two ways of industrialization that Yang Rui knew, one was the Stone Duke model and the other was the Deng Gong model. The Soviet Union only started its five-year plan in 1926, and it was only fourteen years to World War II. In such a short time, it would be necessary to revive the Soviet industry that was a mess of civil war. If a weaker leader was replaced, then World War II would really surrender. China could take this path, but Yang Rui felt it was unnecessary. He believed that China had twice as long as the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it could get the benefits of war in one World War. In addition, with high-tech roads, it was also very considerable to develop into World War II.
