Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

The Q&A time had just started, and before the first row had asked any questions, a hand was raised at the back of the lecture hall.Tang Hua signaled, and a black and skinny girl stood up in the crowd.

"Ms. Tang, today's class is too deep for us. Mr. Tang, can you give a more basic class to popularize scientific knowledge for our women's department and some students in the liberal arts department?"

Chapter 7, Talking All Night ([-])

"Stop!... Comrades, don't go any further."

The guards sent by the Ministry of Security to guard outside Tang Hua's cave stopped the two girls who were about to go inside.

"Hello comrade, we want to find Teacher Tang Huatang."

"I'm sorry, the superior has an order, you can't approach here, let alone go in." The guard looked serious, "This is a special security area."

Hearing what the guard said, the two girls were not particularly disappointed. "Little comrade, we want to give this thing to Mr. Tang, can you pass it to him for us?"

The little guard couldn't think of a reason to refuse for a while, so he took the lunch box packed in a cloth bag from the girl, turned around and walked towards Mr. Kang's duty station.

……

"Ah, northern Shaanxi millet jelly," Tang Hua opened the lunch box, "I'll see if it's authentic or not..."

In the lunch box, the light yellow and translucent millet jelly was cut into long pieces about 2 cm wide and [-] cm thick, and topped with bean drum stew, red oil chili, vinegar, garlic juice, and some shallots and pepper powder. It looks appetizing.Tang Hua picked up a piece of jelly and put it into his mouth. It was spicy and salty, and the strong taste made the taste buds sensitive.The jelly is soft and not sticky to the chopsticks, and the spicy oil makes the whole stomach warm after eating, which is very comfortable.

"It's the first time I've eaten such authentic jelly!" Tang Hua couldn't help but praise after washing the lunch box and putting it away.

……

"Chairman..."

"The Commander-in-Chief..."

The little guard gave a "snap" salute, and a few seconds later he "snaked" to stand at attention and salute.

Tang Hua opened the door and saw two figures walking towards the cave in the evening twilight.

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief," Tang Hua went out to greet him, "I'm supposed to go to your place today, and it's only seven o'clock..."

"Oh, we ran into each other for a walk after dinner, and we decided that we might as well come to Xiao Tang directly." The chairman said.

The guards placed three chairs and a small table, and the three of them sat down in the small courtyard in front of the cave.

"After listening to the class yesterday, the commander-in-chief and I felt very touched. We talked for a long time when we met last night," the chairman said.

"It's not just a touch. Last night I basically stayed up all night and turned in bed all night." The commander-in-chief said, "I never thought before that a revolution in communication technology would trigger such a huge military revolution."

Tang Hua: "In the past, many people thought that the progress of military technology was nothing more than the exchange of large knives for shotguns, and shotguns for machine guns; The role of progress in military transformation is not realized, or the degree of attention is not enough. In fact, from the second industrial revolution to the present, communication technology has undergone a revolution, that is, the invention of wired telegraph and wireless telegraph. For example, the central and various Liberated areas and base areas can maintain real-time communication, if there is no telegram, it is unimaginable."

Chairman: "Yes, if it was the Qing Dynasty or earlier, it would take a few days or even ten days at the earliest to send a letter to the Northeast, but now we send out the telegram, and it can be received there."

"In ancient times, the speed at which people transmitted messages was that fast horses ran thirty to forty kilometers per hour, and beacon fires were faster, but the average speed was only seventy to eighty kilometers per hour, and the information transmitted by beacon fires was very simple." Tang said. Hua said, "The invention of the telegraph has suddenly increased the theoretical speed of information transmission to 30 kilometers per second, and the invention of the radio has allowed troops or warships to communicate normally while in motion. A major change. However, from the end of the 5000th century to the beginning of the 19th century, in addition to communication technology, other military technologies were undergoing tremendous changes at the same time. Explosives, machine guns, rapid-fire guns, tanks, aircraft... These are also very effective military technological revolutions Dazzling and sometimes ignoring the revolution in communication technology."

"Little Tang, can the battlefield you described yesterday also be understood as a qualitative change resulting from the accumulation of quantitative changes?" the commander-in-chief asked.

Tang Hua nodded: "Yes, yes, Commander-in-Chief, you saw the core of the problem at once. The speed of information transmission has increased from the previous speed of 30 to [-] kilometers per hour to [-] kilometers per second. For a long time in the future, the speed of human information transmission should not exceed the speed of light... However, in addition to the speed of information transmission, a communication system also depends on the amount of information it transmits per unit time."

"In 383 A.D., the Battle of Feishui broke out between the former Qin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When the two armies were fighting desperately in Feishui, Xie An, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Jin Army, was playing chess with guests at home. , Xie An looked at it and put it aside, and continued to play chess. After a game of chess was over, the guest couldn't help asking, how was the game ahead? Win or lose? thief'."

"If I use modern people's theory to explain it, it would be: after the battle of Feishui, the troops on the front line spent a few days and finally sent the information to Xie An. How much information is there? There are only six characters in total—the big broken thief of the younger generation, if converted into a telegraph code, it is 24 digits. In fact, this amount of information does not have 24 digits at all. A binary number can be represented, 0 or 1, 0 means win Yes, 1 means lost. The number Xie An received is 0."

"Can we tolerate such brief and rough information today? Certainly not. For example, now that Shandong has repelled an attack by the KMT's recalcitrant army, Comrade Chen Yi must report to the Central Committee: We have won this battle, and our side How many people were injured, how many people were killed, how many people were injured by the enemy, how many people were killed, how many people were captured, whether any high-level enemy officers were captured, how much ammunition was consumed by our side, how much was captured, how much was our food, medicine, clothing, and Where is the remnant army retreating, where is our next plan to move... It will take a few hundred words of telegrams to report clearly."

"Then can we satisfy the status quo of information technology like 'within half a day after the end of the battle, the central government received a battle report of a few hundred words'? If you feel that this is good enough, the amount of information is large enough, and it is timely enough, the command Combat is completely enough, then we may fall into the wrong situation of being self-sufficient. If the amount of information we transmit through communication increases a hundred times, a thousand times, then, after the battle, Comrade Chen Yi picks up the camera and takes a picture The photos - as I explained yesterday, are processed and communicated by computer - are sent back to Yan'an, then, first of all, even the half-day time of drafting telegrams, sending and receiving them with codes can be omitted; secondly, the forward command It is also impossible for the Communist Party members to make up telegrams and conceal the situation like before; again, if the Shandong Liberated Area captures a prisoner who is suspected of being a high-ranking military officer, but no one knows him, then take a photo and send it to the commander-in-chief. Commander-in-Chief, take a look at the photo, yo, isn’t this someone who was my subordinate during the Northern Expedition..."

The commander-in-chief and the chairman laughed.

"Today, Xiao Tang actually told us a historical story face to face." The chairman smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it. "However, looking at history from your perspective and looking at historical wars is a very good research method." , use the current point of view to re-examine military history. We Communist Party members are actually using the point of view of class struggle to conduct new research and interpretation of Chinese history and world history..."

The three of them were talking, and it was late at night before they knew it.

Chapter 8, Talking All Night ([-])

"Chairman, let's change seats, the wind direction has changed."

"Oh, Huo Huo, good," the chairman stood up with his cigarette still in his mouth, with his hips on his hips, and changed seats with Tang Hua, "This way we won't smoke you two."

The three of them chatted more and more relaxedly in the small courtyard, reaching the point of talking about everything, the commander-in-chief and the chairman frowned and drank a small cup of Coke that Tang Hua brought to Yan'an, while Tang Hua asked the chairman to sit at the disadvantage. Direction, so as not to always be smoked by second-hand smoke.

"Xiao Tang, can the third scientific and technological revolution be carried out at the same time as the first and second technological revolutions?" the commander-in-chief asked. "For example, China has not achieved industrialization until now... far from it, and now we are still a backward agricultural country. Then in the future, after national reunification and peace are achieved, when we are engaged in construction, three technological revolutions will come together ?”

"In the camp of capitalist countries, there has been a precedent for latecomer countries to achieve rapid industrialization and overtake the first-mover countries. Germany has developed rapidly since the 19s and completed the industrial revolution and industrial revolution in a short period of time. The electric revolution, in just over 70 years, the industrial output value surpassed Britain and France. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan also quickly completed primitive accumulation and industrialization relying on the extremely cruel exploitation of workers and peasants and the victory of several foreign wars.” There was no laughing expression on Tang Hua's face, "China's foundation is weaker than that of Japan and Germany back then, and China is much larger than Japan and Germany. A large country with a population of 30 million has no primitive accumulation... …But no matter what, this road has to go on. If you don’t achieve leapfrog development, you will always be the one behind and beaten.”

"That's right! Let's take motorization and mechanization as an example," said the commander-in-chief. "We now fight on two legs, but all commanders and fighters in the army know that the wheels of cars are good. As long as a few large American-made trucks can be captured in one battle , I'm very happy."

"A fully motorized army must first have a strong automobile industry. Behind a strong automobile industry, there must be engines, steel, machining, non-ferrous metals, rubber, and electrical equipment... Moreover, it must have a forward-looking vision. Because In the future, if there is a third technological and industrial revolution, the products that appeared during the last industrial revolution—the electric revolution will also improve at the same time. Because nuclear energy and information technology will in turn support traditional industrial systems, making these industrial systems Product performance is improving rapidly. Take trucks for example. Now it is a Dodge ten-wheel truck with a load capacity of five tons. After that, a truck of the same size can carry a load of 10 tons or 15 tons. It is also faster and more fuel-efficient than Dodge. If after our victory we build a car factory that can produce Dodge, but after 30 years, this car factory can only produce Dodge, then our auto industry will have to review itself. Another situation is that if 30 years later , We have barely realized the motorization and mechanization of the army, but advanced foreign countries have realized the informatization of the army—that is, computers and networks, and then the problem will be as serious as today.”

"We can't follow the old path of technological development of all countries in the world and crawl step by step behind others. After the victory of the revolution, we must break the routine, adopt advanced technology as much as possible, and build our country into a modern and powerful country as soon as possible." The chairman said.

"Yes, we must grasp the trend of the development of science and technology in the world, avoid detours or even avoid detours." Tang Hua said, "Also, we must focus our resources and energy on industrial construction, but at the same time develop agriculture to ensure our The problem of food. It is necessary to balance the proportion of heavy industry and light industry. Heavy industry can enable rapid growth and reproduction of industry, but light industry can improve people's living standards and meet the material and cultural needs of the people. There is also the relationship between military industry and civilian industry. The production of military equipment occupies The most important thing is the production capacity resources of heavy industry. If the scale of military industry is too large, it will affect the growth rate of the industrial system. If the scale of military industry is too small, then the national defense force will be affected..."

"The trend of the world's technological development is related to whether we can become a modernized power in a short period of time. Xiaotang, you have to worry about this." The commander-in-chief said, "There are other countries that are developed in the Soviet Union and in the West. Intellectuals who have studied abroad in the country, if they can return to the country to participate in socialist construction in the future, they will be able to accelerate our development to a large extent.”

"Not only is the trend of the development of world science and technology, but also other industries, technology, equipment, etc., no matter where the motherland and the people need me, I will appear there and solve all obstacles." Tang Hua said, "In this regard, I Get ready."

The chairman and commander-in-chief smiled at the 23-year-old.

"A few years ago... there was also a guest who visited Yan'an. At that time, the chairman also talked with him all night long, and the conversation lasted for two days." The commander-in-chief said.

"It must be that the chairman had quarreled with him for two days." Tang Hua took the conversation.

"It can't be considered a quarrel. We are debating. Although we are having a fierce ideological confrontation, we have a good relationship outside of the debate. He and I are very graceful." The chairman said with a smile, "China's road The question of where to go was worth debating at the time....In today's situation, after our revolution is victorious, in my opinion, this long debate will come to an end. As for Xiao Tang, haha, you are not here The person who asked me to argue was actually giving us extra lessons."

"It's not a remedial class, I'm just...in fact, we sit together and look forward to the future." Tang Hua said, "It depicts a blueprint for building the world we dreamed of. But after envisioning a lofty ideal, we have to go back On to the business at hand."

"Today in the Central Plains Military Region...the situation has undergone new changes." The chairman said, "This also makes us judge that the hope of maintaining peace in the future is getting slimmer. Our Communist Party will still focus on peace and will not start war first. But also had to be prepared for a full-blown civil war."

Chapter 9, Lianhe Bank Executive Meeting

During the war, the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief’s work and rest schedules in Yan’an were almost reversed day and night. They worked until the sky was bright before going to bed and getting up at noon.

This time, the hearty all-night long talk made Tang Hua stay up all night following the chairman's biological clock.In the early morning, the three of them went back separately, and Tang Hua fell asleep after washing up.

Fortunately, today is Sunday, there is no class.

However, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Hua still got up, and there are other things to do today.

Tang Hua walked into the central office area of ​​D (also a row of cave dwellings) with the information package. Mr. Dong and Ren Bishi were already waiting in a conference room.

"Mr. Dong, secretary." Tang Hua greeted.These days, I have met the big guys several times, and we are quite familiar with each other.
