Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

When night fell, Li Yan called Liu Feng to the room alone.

Liu Feng was a little surprised. Li Yan called him into the room alone. It must be something important for him to do.

But now there are more and more strangers in Gulangyu Island. If I go out to do business at this time, I will be easily discovered. After all, I am the young master of Wansheng Pharmacy.

Liu Feng asked, "Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Yan smiled and waved his hand, motioning Liu Feng to sit down.

After Liu Feng sat down, Li Yan asked, "I heard from Leopard that you were exposed in Guanjiang Town."

“I can’t go back home”

"What are you going to do next?"

Liu Feng's expression darkened

Liu Feng was born with dystocia and his mother died early. He was raised by his father.

Maybe Liu Feng's father felt that Liu Feng had no mother since he was a child, so he doted on him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched Liu Feng continue to deliver supplies to the Red Army, and I wouldn't have done anything about it. This is a capital crime.

Sometimes I even help Liu Feng wipe his butt

The relationship between father and son is very deep

The feeling of not being able to go home has made Liu Feng not eat properly for many days.

But Liu Feng also knew that if he went back now, it would definitely bring disaster to his family.

Liu Feng looked at Li Yan and said, "Captain, please take me back to Meishan."

Li Yan did not express his opinion immediately, but asked Liu Feng: "Don't you want to be a successful businessman like your father and benefit more people?"

Liu Feng hesitated for a moment

If Liu Feng had to choose between being a soldier and doing business, he would rather do business.

Because he would rather be like his father

Liu Feng's father is like many patriotic businessmen in Fujian. They hope that China will be strong and prosperous. More importantly, they hope that China will no longer be bullied by foreigners.

The medicines at Wansheng Pharmacy are very cheap, but many stores are still making losses.

But Liu Feng's father continued to expand the scale of Wansheng Pharmacy because he could recruit more poor people to work.

Whenever Liu Feng saw the workers at Wansheng Pharmacy and saw the gratitude in his father's eyes,

They will have admiration for their father

Liu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, I still want to be a soldier."

Li Yan shook his head and said directly: "You are not telling the truth"

Seeing his thoughts exposed, Liu Feng stopped backing off: "My father has done so many things, what can he change?"

"Ordinary people are barely able to eat, yet those corrupt officials are still exploiting them ruthlessly."

“But they kowtowed to those foreigners”

"If those who forget their roots are not eliminated, China will have no hope at all."

Li Yan nodded, through this period of time with Liu Feng

I found that Liu Feng is a passionate young man who is responsible, delicate, hardworking and able to endure hardships.

And has a business vision and shrewdness that is different from ordinary people

It would be a pity if such a talent gave up his best talent.

Li Yan suddenly became serious: "Liu Feng, I have decided to give you a task"

Liu Feng was also stunned, and quickly reacted

He stood up and said confidently: "Captain, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Li Yan was very satisfied with Liu Feng's attitude: "I want you to go to the United States"

"Continue to do business"

Liu Feng was completely stunned and asked uncertainly: "Do business, or go to the United States?"

Li Yan nodded again: "You heard it right"

“It’s about going to the United States to do business.”

“And it’s a very important task.”

Liu Feng pondered for a moment: "Captain, I can obey orders"

“But I need a reason.”

Li Yan was not a dictatorial person. He did not feel offended by Liu Feng's request for a reason. Instead, he appreciated him more.

In the military, obeying orders is always right, but if you don't know how to think and obey orders flexibly, you are just a machine.

Such a person is not worthy of being entrusted with important tasks.

Li Yan looked at the night sky outside the window and said, "Look at Gulangyu Island, it was originally Chinese territory."

“Now it has become a concession for foreigners.”

"It is ridiculous that Chinese people who want to come to their own land have to go through inspection by foreigners."

“But this is reality.”

"We Chinese have been weak for a long time. Weakness is our original sin."

"The reason why those foreign powers dare to act recklessly on Chinese territory is..."

"Because they have advanced technology and powerful ships and cannons that we don't have."

“We can only passively take the beating.”

At this point, Li Yan turned around, looked at Liu Feng and said, "We want to change all this."

"We must create weapons that are more advanced than those of foreigners"

“But we can’t do that.”

"Take our arsenal for example."

"I've given them the blueprints for the weapons, but the guns they've made have a very low lifespan. Some of them explode before firing 30 rounds."

"It's not that they don't work hard enough, but that we don't have the industrial foundation and the talent in all aspects."

"Elva has promised me that he will help me arrange for a group of people to go to the United States."

"Their purpose in going to the United States is to learn various skills and technologies."

"But those foreigners will never hand over their technology to us so easily."

"We can only pay tuition fees, and we even have to spend a lot of money to hire foreigners to build our industrial base."

“This requires commercial profit to support it.”

“So, you were the first one I thought of.”

Liu Feng understood and felt an urge to try it out, but at the same time he felt that the burden was too heavy.

He said in embarrassment: "Captain, can I do it?"

Li Yan smiled and said with great certainty: "You can definitely..."
