Dominate the Country

Time flies, and when spring colors paint the northwest land, national defense forces from all over the world also begin their journey westward.

The Russians must persist in fighting, and they undoubtedly have the support of the British and even the French behind them. Chen Ming doesn't know whether the Europeans will play tricks like the Volunteer Army, but it is certain that when the Sino-Russian War enters a new stage, it will be very difficult to rely solely on the strength of the Northwest Military Region to support it.

Therefore, Chen Ming mobilized troops to support the Northwest Military Region. The first batch had only 100,000 people, and the second batch was ready, but due to the limited logistics and transportation capabilities, they had to set off again in the summer.

But before the summer came, the leaders of Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia and other countries in Europe had already known the great changes that had taken place in China.

So, a British man came to the East. He did not stay in Myanmar, but came directly to Singapore. Myanmar is too close to India, and the situation there has been mastered by the British.

The local Chinese immigrants and the indigenous people were very emotional, but Singapore was thousands of miles away from Myanmar. If the students and workers here, and the social emotions here, were as enthusiastic as those in Myanmar, then the intelligence obtained by the British this time would not be false.

Michel had been in India for five years, but he had always stayed in Kolkata. In addition to Indian cotton, sisal and a specified amount of opium, the largest annual trade with China for his foreign company was to ship tea, bicycles, tricycles, etc. produced by the Chinese to India and the more distant European continent.

The transaction amount of Michel's company with China was seriously unbalanced. If the value of the goods that the Chinese took from them was 1, the value of the goods they bought from the Chinese was at least 2, or even 3. This was a severe situation that many British companies were facing, but they were powerless to change it.

The Chinese were almost not short of any large quantities of bulk goods other than high-quality cotton. Without the support of Indian cotton, the operating risks of their companies would be even greater. Because their interests were entirely based on the profits from selling Chinese goods.

The value of the tea leaves need not be explained. Michelle and his company's other major business center is bicycles and tricycles. If they are shipped to Europe, the profit will be at least three times, after paying a considerable tax.

He came to China for two reasons this time. The main reason was of course the task assigned by the Governor-General of India to explore the real situation in China; and the secondary task was because he heard that China's rubber market had huge fluctuations.

Nanyang is very suitable for growing rubber. The land here is fertile, with sufficient sunlight and rain, which is suitable for the growth of rubber trees. Generally speaking, rubber can be tapped in five or six years, and the yield and quality are very high. Rubber can not only be made into raincoats and rubber shoes, but also a necessity for many equipment and high-end bicycles and tricycles. It can be said that every rubber plantation is a cash cow. The car trade is a major support point for their foreign company, which must be taken seriously. The Chinese are now not only unable to stop foreigners from making large-scale investments in their homeland and Nanyang. The trading objects of rubber plantations are not only Chinese, but foreigners can also buy them as long as they have money. Michelle's boss is thinking of this.

So Michel came to Nanyang for legitimate business reasons, and it was only natural that his first stop was Singapore. Is Singapore the center of the Nanyang region?

As a proud Great Briton, Michel was extremely disgusted with the current Chinese government and the Chinese emperor, and he was even more unwilling to accept China's current world status.

China is now the world hegemon. The entire East, including the Arabian world represented by the Ottomans and Persians, has surrendered to the Chinese emperor, leaving only the Western world.

Michel dared not imagine what the day would be like when Great Britain also bowed down to the Chinese. As long as he thought about it, his heart would be broken.

But China's strength is so obvious. They put their strength clearly on the surface, making every knowledgeable person in Britain sad. The Chinese occupied Nanyang and South Mingzhou, they invaded India and half of Africa, and took over most of America. Half of the earth already belongs to China. This is a powerful and discouraging enemy!

Any country that confronts China is challenging a strong man with a baby's body, just like David challenging the giant Goliath. There is no blessing from God in the real world.

The situation in Europe is not very good, just like the British in India now, the situation is very bad for them. With the intensification of the contradiction between the East and the West, China and Britain are about to start a new round of negotiations on the Indian issue.

Michelle finds it difficult to accept this fact. Although Chen Han had been established when he was born, when he grew up, Chen Han's strong national strength and growing influence on the West had spread the reputation of the Celestial Empire throughout Europe. But there are some people who always like to be "only me", and Michelle is such a person. He has never been to America, and his family is not a rich man with slaves. I really don't know how he developed the view of "white supremacy".

A British man from the lower middle class has a more upright butt than countless upper-class people from aristocratic families - he is a Westerner, what a irony.

Michel certainly would not reveal his true attitude in business. He visited a rubber plantation like a shrewd businessman, asked many questions in detail, and then did not utter a single definite word. On the way back to the city early the next morning, Michel passed by a primary school in a small town. This town is quite prosperous. In Michel's eyes, the prosperity of the streets in this town is better than that of small towns of the same size in the UK. And he knew that Singapore's history is very short.

Michel very naturally proposed to visit the school, and also called it: the strength of a nation and a country is inseparable from the inheritance and dissemination of knowledge. China is such a great empire, and the school must have its own unique features. Then Michel walked into the primary school in this town very easily. The principal of the primary school saw a foreigner coming to visit, and was very happy to send someone to guide Michel.

"Stand up!"

"Hello, teacher!"

"Students, sit down!"

Michel came at the right time, and he saw the whole process of the class in this primary school. This town primary school has only a history of ten years. There are more than 200 teachers and students in the school, and the average number of students in each class is less than 40. This is obviously a very ordinary school.

But they are the seeds of the new era in Singapore, an ancient and new land. Every student here is the hope of the future.

The simple white wooden desks, the simple classrooms, and the male teacher on the podium may not be more than 30 years old, wearing a blue cotton shorts. Now there are very few teachers in new primary schools who wear Hanfu to teach, although they must have Hanfu at home. But during class on weekdays, they are definitely shorts.

The class was silent! This gave Michelle the first impression of this primary school, strict discipline! In fact, such strict discipline has only been implemented in the school for two or three months.

There are no female teachers in this school, and no female students in the class.

In China, female teachers are as rare as female civil servants, female employees in shopping malls, and girls' schools in the education system. China is changing, but it cannot step over the shackles of two thousand years. China still needs more time.

The teachers in this primary school are very similar to those in rural primary schools in underdeveloped areas of the later Celestial Empire. Simple white lime walls, wooden windows, unpainted white desks and chairs. Even the simple black painted wooden board at the back of the classroom, which is used for blackboard newspapers, is so similar.

Michel also saw portraits and slogans hanging on all four sides of the classroom. They were famous Chinese sayings and historical celebrities, but he only recognized the portrait hanging in the center of the classroom, which was a portrait of the Chinese emperor. He didn't recognize the others. He could recognize a few Chinese characters, but he couldn't understand them in a string.

When the class was over, the bell rang, and Michel was surprised to see a man in a Chinese army uniform appear on the school playground. Although he didn't have shoulder straps and military ranks, he was obviously a soldier by looking at his posture.

He took a few steps and was about to say hello, but the person accompanying him and the teacher of this school stopped him and signaled him not to speak. Because the following is the class drill once in the morning and afternoon every day.

The facilities in the school playground are simple, with only horizontal bars, parallel bars, balance beams, sand pits, etc., all accumulated in the west corner of the playground, but the area is wide. There is also a flagpole platform with a ten-meter-high wooden flagpole.

Michelle widened his eyes the next moment, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. God, what did he see? Students marching in double columns appeared at the door of each classroom. One class is a column, like a long dragon, coming to the center of the playground in an orderly manner!

The columns of each class are led by the class monitor, and they march in unison towards the playground in teams. All students march in the rhythm of the slogans in the class monitor's mouth. In unison, in neat formation. It looks like a miniature army.

This is a school, an elementary school.

The leading student in one of the classes held up a red pennant - Michelle didn't know what it was. But the agents and teachers around him knew that this was the championship flag for the winner of the weekly discipline total score of each school. The class that gets the flag can give each person a pencil or a notebook, but more importantly, it is an honor and a spiritual encouragement.

Each class marches along a certain route. The columns of the marching classes enter the playground from the northeast and northwest directions. After entering the playground, the team merges into an irregular square. The reason for the irregularity is that the number of people in each class varies.
