If you could travel back in time and meet great people, what would you say to them?

This is a question worth pondering. It is sure to trigger the desire of many people to express themselves, and everyone wants to say different things.

When this opportunity was presented to Jiang Wanwan, she was excited but at a loss.

She wanted to say, thank you for your hard work. Your generation has fought for several generations and suffered so much.

She wanted to say, if we hold on a little longer, we will soon win.

She wanted to say that on October 1949, 10, the People's Republic of China was founded!

She wanted to say...

Jiang Wanwan wanted to tell Teacher Wei and the others everything they wanted to know.

But she couldn't do it, she didn't have that much time, and she had no way to say it out loud.

So Jiang Wanwan said, "Then let me tell you about the era I live in!"

Since we cannot reveal modern information due to system blocking issues, let’s talk about the present time!

"I'm from December 2024. In less than a month, it will be 12. We have a one-day holiday for New Year's Day, but it's too short. I guess many people won't be able to go home."

"But it doesn't matter. Chinese New Year is only about twenty days away, and everyone can go home then. But getting tickets is a big problem at this time of year!"

When they heard Jiang Wanwan talking about modern things, Teacher Wei and Mr. Hu immediately became interested. Even the Red Army soldiers who were mopping the floor behind them couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.

"Is it because there are too few trains to transport tickets?" Mr. Hu asked with some concern.

"Of course not. my country's railway mileage ranks second in the world. We also have many airplanes, high-speed trains, and cars. Oh, high-speed trains are high-speed railways that can reach speeds two or three times that of trains."

"Second in the world? High-speed railway? Great!" Mr. Hu nodded after listening.

Teacher Wei grasped the key point and asked curiously, "If that's the case, then why are we still scrambling for tickets?"

"Because there are so many people wanting to go home! I heard that during last year's Spring Festival travel rush, the total number of people moving around was over 14 trillion. Oh, and the country currently has a population of billion!"

These numbers are so huge that they are out of reach, and the people who hear them are stunned.

After a while, Teacher Wei came back to his senses, nodded and muttered to himself: "Good, more people are good!"

After Hu Gong was happy, he asked with some concern: "Can the country support so many people?"

"Yes, our country is now the world's second largest economy, contributing over 30% to the world economy!"

"That's great. Then everyone can have enough to eat. No one should be hungry anymore, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, 99% of people will have food to eat. For example, the self-heating rice, buns, chocolate, fruit and other things I brought this time are all affordable for ordinary people!"

Hearing this, a strange voice suddenly sounded, asking in disbelief: "Can ordinary people really afford to eat these precious foods? Just ordinary people?"

Jiang Wanwan looked up and saw that at some point, the Red Army soldiers were crowded in front of the supermarket, sitting in circles and eavesdropping.

They may not really believe what Jiang Wanwan said about her own origins, but they can't help but fantasize about the world she described.

"Yes, ordinary people can eat it every day. Those with poor family conditions can eat it once every three to five days or a week. There is no problem at all." Jiang Wanwan answered seriously.

A joyful voice suddenly rang out, "That's great! I can have a full stomach and my health will surely be good too. As long as I farm well and don't get sick, I can live a peaceful life until old age."

"Don't be afraid if you get sick, we have medical insurance now!"

"What is medical insurance?"

"It's about medical treatment. You pay part of it yourself, and the government reimburses part of it."

Jiang Wanwan gave a brief explanation and then talked about a series of other national policies.

"Now people can farm and don't have to pay taxes. The government also provides subsidies. Moreover, when they are old and have no children or relatives, the government will help with their retirement, provide them with a place to live, and give them money every month to support themselves."

"Also, the government subsidizes children's education. It's called nine-year compulsory education, which means the government provides free tuition for children to study until the ninth grade."

"What? The government reimburses for illnesses, you don't have to pay taxes for farming and you even get subsidies, the government provides pensions, and children can go to school for free?" The Red Army soldiers were stunned.

Someone asked in disbelief: "It feels like a fairyland. Is there really such a wonderful country?"

"Yes, it will be born in the near future, and it will depend on the efforts of each of you!" Jiang Wanwan answered with certainty.

"Okay, okay, great!"

The Red Army soldiers murmured to themselves in ecstasy. Some laughed while crying, and some laughed and then cried.

Amidst the excitement, someone else asked, "With such a good life, will the country still be bullied? Will it still go to war?"

As soon as this question was asked, the atmosphere at the scene stagnated, everyone's excitement suddenly cooled down, and everyone looked at Jiang Wanwan with nervous eyes.

Jiang Wanwan paused, then declared loudly and forcefully, "In 2024, as the world's second-largest military power, no one dares to bully New China!"

"We have 200 million active-duty troops, to tanks, to armored vehicles, to artillery vehicles, several thousand rocket launchers, and nuclear bombs!"

"There are thousands of military aircraft, more than a thousand fighter jets, hundreds of armed helicopters and transport planes, hundreds of warships, dozens of submarines, and three aircraft carriers!"

These are not specific data, but Jiang Wanwan learned them after having more contact with the military in recent months. Now she is learning and applying them immediately.

As the Red Army soldiers listened to the counting of equipment one by one, they felt their blood and souls boiling uncontrollably.

Great, with so many weapons and equipment, the country in the future will no longer be as dilapidated and poor as it is now!

Jiang Wanwan continued to answer the next question without hiding anything.

"I've never seen a war since I was born. However, wars have occurred frequently in foreign countries in the past two years. Perhaps it will affect our country one day."

"But we are not afraid. Our country is always prepared. We are no longer in that era of backwardness and being bullied. We are confident that we can protect all our citizens and territories!"
