reborn in the fiery age

After saying this, the leader brought up another topic, "Xiao Sun, we have read your series of articles on the Rise of a Great Power, and some of the statements are refreshing.

Now that you are back, don't be idle. The Central Committee has just summoned some experts and professors from the Academy of Social Sciences to discuss your article. You can communicate with them. "

After hearing this, Sun Zujie was a little surprised, but also a little relieved. What surprised him was that he wanted to discuss it with experts and professors.Is his article valuable? It is indeed valuable, but the times are different, and the information is not very smooth, so Yang Xi and he can collect limited information. Compared with the previous life, these articles of his have a lot of insufficient evidence. of.

In addition, Sun Zujie's rise of a great power is very different from his previous life. Although he retained the core content of those articles in his previous life, he has not been a fool in the Huaguo system for more than ten years. Many contents have been cut according to the degree acceptable to the country.

Sun Zujie is very clear that the academic value of these articles is not high, and there are a lot of his private goods in them, but even so, the "Rise of Great Powers" series of articles still caused a huge sensation in the system, because the time when it appeared Too special.

In the 30 years since the founding of the country, the Chinese people have been blocked for almost 30 years. Although many high-level officials can listen to foreign news and see the changes in the world, the so-called seeing is believing. If you haven’t seen many things, you don’t understand.

There are not many people who can tell their own reasons for the huge changes from World War II to the present.Most of their energy is focused on the country, and the rest is on a few big countries or countries related to the interests of Huaguo, and they don't care about the high-level officials of Huaguo in most countries in the world.

So once something happens in the world, they just look at the tricks, listen to the opinions of their subordinates, and then make decisions based on their own experience and political wisdom. Generally speaking, they are conservative and play a lot of soy sauce.

If it comes to the country of Hua, it is best to protect the interests of the country as much as possible. Frankly speaking, it is already very good to be able to achieve this step. Most countries in the world have come here like this.

And many ordinary people in Huaguo are ignorant of the existence of several important countries in the world. Even within the system, many people are like this.So in this era, the amount of information Sun Zujie saw and heard in later generations definitely far surpassed everyone.

So the rise of great powers he wrote is almost leading Huaguo to look at the world with eyes open, not only looking at the present of the world, but also recalling the past and looking forward to the future.

It is now the first year of the 80s, the second year after the plenum, and it is undoubtedly the first two years of the "Renaissance" in the ideological and literary circles. The whole society is in an era of blank thinking, almost Everyone knows that the past route can no longer continue, but no one knows how it will go in the future.

What's even more frightening is that no matter what you hear or see, it shows that Huaguo is not only inferior to developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, but even Southeast Asia's living standards are far higher than Huaguo.Otherwise, would Hua Guo pay so much attention to Li Jiapo's visit?

The contrast between this kind of propaganda and reality has an impact on the Chinese people who have just opened their eyes to see the world. At this time, their inner complexity and confusion are difficult for future generations to understand.

That's why the resulting extreme lack of self-confidence led to all kinds of unimaginable jokes, and documentaries like He Shang's blatant denial of the country's glorious history appeared on TV grandiosely.And "The Rise of Great Powers" came into being at this time, which is no different from Yan Fu's "Tianyanlun" in the late Qing Dynasty, which is a bit groundbreaking.

Therefore, after seeing the relevant manuscripts on the rise of great powers, the high-level officials immediately realized the value of these speeches, ordered them to be copied, and then circulated to the entire high-level, and recruited a bunch of experts and scholars to let them demonstrate the statement of the speeches.

At this time, there are many outstanding talents among Huaguo experts and scholars, but like Sun Zujie, who can stand at a certain height and point out history, present and future, they are somewhat beyond their capabilities in terms of thinking and thinking habits, so the first Many people were surprised when they saw this speech for the first time.

The result of the research is of course that Sun Zujie's article has great guiding significance for Huaguo.For example, his Bredia article discusses in detail the Bredia shit-stirring stick.

In addition to how Bredia tossed Europe, Sun Zujie highlighted that once Bredia withdrew, it would always leave a lot of trouble locally.

For example, the disgusting practices in the South Asian subcontinent are an obvious example.The high-level executives immediately thought that there might be a lot of trouble in the upcoming future negotiations on Hong Kong Island.

So when Sun Zujie appeared in front of many experts and scholars, he was surprised to find that many experts and scholars were so humble, and even asked him in the attitude of a student. No mistake, how can I dare you to respect me so much.

Of course, there must be many loopholes in what Sun Zujie wrote hastily. These experts and scholars also unceremoniously raised objections, and Sun Zujie also expressed his own views.

He also explained what he knew and could justify it; what he didn't know, let's honestly say that he didn't know, let's find a way to study it together.

In this process, Sun Zujie also launched a strong counterattack against some people's more dogmatic thoughts, and in such a collision of thoughts, "The Rise of Great Powers" gradually matured.

Chapter 178 Soviet-Russian Problems

Old Yang looked at his son-in-law with mixed feelings. He was an old revolutionary who had experienced blood and fire wars and almost died on the battlefield several times.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been in a high position for many years, and he has seen countless talented people, but he still can't see through his son-in-law. The internal version of "The Rise of Great Powers" in front of him proves that such insight is too incredible , how old is he?

"The Rise of Great Powers" is divided into two books, the public version and the internal version. The former has been abridged and is going to be published for the entire Huaguo. It intends to educate the people of Huaguo in this period of ideological confusion, so that they can increase their knowledge.

But the internal version is completely different. Only the middle and high-level people have the opportunity to read it. While Sun Zujie and countless experts analyzed the rise of major powers, they also analyzed many of their current situations, which has very strong practical guiding significance.

Regarding Europe and the United States, although many of Sun Zujie's statements are relatively new, many things can still be seen by the leadership, and they have been heard one after another.Imperialism will never die, and the high-level bosses are psychologically prepared.

But Sun Zujie's views on Soviet Russia shocked many people, and even worried them.Although the two countries have already clashed in battle, Hua Guo wished that Soviet Russia would die immediately, but deep down in his heart, Hua Guo's senior management had very complicated feelings for Soviet Russia, and Sun Zujie was openly naked in the last questioning and this discussion with experts He said that he was very pessimistic about the future of Soviet Russia.

Sun Zujie’s analysis this time is very special and novel. He analyzed why he is not optimistic about Soviet Russia from the perspective of industrial population.

The previous industrial revolutions required more and more industrial populations. In the third industrial industrial revolution after the end of World War II, only the United States and the Soviet Union were the real powers.

However, with the advancement of science and technology, the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union discovered almost at the same time that they could no longer cover all industrial categories with their own industrial population. Therefore, there is only one way to win the competition in the Cold War. largest industrial population.

Sun Zujie gave a very simple example. Soviet Russia supported Egypt. They could provide millions of tons of coal, countless machinery and weapons, but they could not meet a very simple request from the Egyptian president, a toy bicycle for his son, because they The little brother Dabobo is not producing.

Based on this point, Sun Zujie believed with certainty that the historical fate of Soviet Russia's inevitable defeat in the Cold War was determined from the moment he parted ways with Huaguo.

Sun Zujie went on to believe that Soviet Russia’s industrial population is not enough, so they can only develop heavy industry with all their strength, and the consequence of being unable to take care of light industry and agriculture is that when Soviet Russia has a large number of aircraft and artillery, they may not even be able to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people.

Hua Guo has a personal experience of this point. The productivity of Hua Guo is not as good as that of Soviet Russia, but Hua Guo also has the problems of Soviet Russia. Otherwise, it would not think about reform and opening up.

In addition, Sun Zujie also mentioned a problem that Huaguo had never noticed. This is a very typical Soviet-Russian economic management joke.

In order to appease the common people and bridge domestic conflicts in the era of medal control, Soviet Russia adopted a very simple and rude method, which was to continuously raise wages for the common people.

At the same time, Soviet Russia has been compressing the product prices of industrial enterprises. The idea is good, hoping to force industrial enterprises to improve economic efficiency in this way.

But without a lot of technological innovation and investment, it is impossible to improve the economic efficiency rapidly, but now the money is used to engage in the arms race and buy people's hearts, so Lao Maozi's industrial enterprises must have a lot of losses.

Once a company loses money, their interest in industrial production will naturally weaken. In addition, the poor quality of Lao Maozi's industrial products is well known throughout the world.Therefore, the problem we are facing now, the level of productivity that cannot meet the growing needs of the people is likely to be more serious in Russia.

In the 70s, oil prices rose sharply. Soviet Russia exported a large amount of oil and then imported foreign products to meet the daily needs of ordinary people. However, once oil prices plummeted and imported products decreased, these problems were likely to be exposed immediately.

At that time, an incredible situation will appear.On the one hand, the common people have too much money to spend, and on the other hand, industrial enterprises continue to lose money and are reluctant to produce. Once this situation is formed, no country can bear it.

But how to change this deteriorating situation is a great test of the leader's ability to control the country, but at this time, the top leaders of Soviet Russia will definitely have problems.

During the period of medal control in Soviet Russia, the top leadership has not been changed for a long time, and at the same time, senior local officials have been stable for a long time, so a large number of interest groups will inevitably arise.

Sun Zujie believes that even if Soviet Russia wants to reform, it will not reform until a new generation of leaders comes to power.

But look at their leadership, everyone is sick, so Sun Zujie thinks that their top management will have to struggle for at least a few years.

At this time, there are a lot of long-term local forces in the local area. When the central and local conflicts, ethnic conflicts, departmental conflicts, etc. are intertwined, there will be a lot of excitement.

When seeing Sun Zujie analyze this issue for the first time, many Huaguo senior officials felt their scalps go numb.

Because in Huaguo, apart from the fact that there are no strong interest groups in the country, the Soviet-Russian problems mentioned by Sun Zujie also exist in Huaguo, but to some extent, some are serious.

At this time, the loss of state-owned enterprises in Huaguo was also shocking, and Huaguo was also raising wages during this period.

At the same time, Huaguo was also an oil exporter at this time, and oil was one of Huaguo's main sources of foreign exchange.

In addition, the age issue of Huaguo's high-level executives, well, this issue is more sensitive, and everyone should be aware of it.

My God, we seem to have all the problems mentioned by Sun Zujie except for the expansion of the local area, which makes people live.

In fact, this problem is the same in all red countries. In a sense, it is a system problem, but it is particularly prominent in Soviet Russia.

In addition, Sun Zujie also mentioned that the new generation of technological revolution, that is, the rapid development of the electronics industry, has begun. Sun Zujie made it clear from his own experience in this industry that the planned economic system cannot guarantee timely tracking in this key field.

So Sun Zujie believes that Soviet Russia is likely to fall behind in this technological revolution, and such backwardness means that Soviet Russia is likely to lose the Cold War at the commanding heights of technology.

Sun Zujie has a very interesting statement, that is, the problem of the national character of Soviet Russia is too frizzy, so they are not good at retreating, so once the Cold War fails, what will happen to the global contraction of Soviet Russia? Will it turn from retreat into a complete defeat? , everything is possible!
