Wang Wenwu continued: "In fact, the government has always strongly advocated the Gregorian New Year, but in fact the Lunar New Year plays the leading role. The Gregorian New Year is more present in government activities. On the Gregorian New Year's Day, the heads of various government departments, nmg
Living Buddhas and senior military generals will personally send congratulations to the president!" Sun Mu'en said: "Although the "Declaration" describes the Lunar New Year as an ugly phenomenon, I don't think the Lunar New Year is an ugly phenomenon. This Spring Festival sacrifice to the gods is a millennium.
How can the inherited customs become an ugly phenomenon!" Shu Jinxi said: "Celebrating the Gregorian New Year is a scientific and advanced custom, but on the contrary, it is an old custom that makes the country stagnant. Like the Spring Festival, Chinese characters are also regarded as old customs.
Cultural representative. Many people I know believe that in order to save China, eradicating Chinese characters is also a step that must be completed. Mr. Qian and President Cai of Peking University are both supporters of the abolition theory of Chinese characters!" Yoon Togorobei said: "In fact, China's
People with insight know that China cannot exist in the world unless it reforms politics and popularizes education. But when it comes to universal education, there is a problem. It is difficult to recognize, remember, and write. The meaning is not accurate enough and cannot keep up with the times.
, to solve this problem, it is impossible to use pinyin characters just like Japanese characters." Wang Wenwu said: "You think that the difficulty of writing and memorizing Chinese characters has affected the promotion of national popular education. You take it for granted.
To say that Chinese characters are just a pure writing tool seems to have no essential connection with the five thousand years of Chinese civilization history. Chinese characters are inseparably linked with the history of the Chinese nation, and the history and culture of the Chinese nation can be spread through Chinese characters!" Yin Dong!
Gorobei said: "It is really difficult to recognize, remember and write Chinese characters!" Shu Jinxi said: "When we left, the British philosopher and thinker Bertrand Arthur William Russell accepted the lecture from Professor Fu Tong of BJ University
Invitation, he came to China to give lectures for one year. When he left China, it was about the same time that we came to France. Some of my classmates who studied in France heard that he had written a book about China after returning to China. When he came, it was during the debate
At the most intense moment, I thought this book contains his views on Chinese characters!" Sun Muen asked: "Has his book been published yet?"
"It should have been published, but he is British, and I don't know if there will be a French version!" Wang Wenwu said: "Russell published professional books. China's issues are not a hot topic in Western society. I think it is.
The school library doesn’t even have it. If you want it, you should go to the UK!” Sun Muen thought for a moment and said: “I’ll ask the housekeeper to go to the UK to buy it tomorrow!” Shu Jinxi said: “Why should I go to the UK for this Chinese New Year?
, there’s nothing to do later!”
"But I'm really curious, what will he write in the book?"
"It's not too late!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" I think he was expressing himself later, saying a lot about the differences between the Japanese New Year and this New Year.
However, in Wang Wenwu's opinion, the biggest difference is that Japanese people usually eat New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve. The slender soba noodles symbolize longevity.
People in northern China usually eat dumplings on New Year's Eve. Everyone stays together during the New Year's Day. Shu Jinxi asked Sun Mu'en that if Russell's book really comes out, he must bring a copy for himself. In the following days, it will be dull again.
Come down.
Wang Wenwu also began to prepare to return to China. This time, because the cost was much higher than last time, it took a lot of time to prepare the goods.
This time Wang Wenwu planned to go to Germany to buy dyes and ship them back as goods. Before World War I, Germany's dye production accounted for 80% of the world's production. World War I made Germany no longer able to provide products to many countries, which prompted these countries to establish their own industries.
, confiscate the property of German manufacturers’ subsidiaries in hostile countries and German patents.
Because the production equipment and raw materials for explosives and tar dyes are the same, the United States established a large-scale explosives industry during the war. After the war, these factories switched to producing dyes.
Three years before the Republic of China, dyes in the United States were still supplied by Germany. Since Germany was burdened with huge war reparations after the war and paid in gold, Germany had no money left to use as foreign exchange reserves and to import industrial raw materials.
The foreign exchange in Wang Wenwu's hands is very popular with German companies, but there are not so many raw materials in German factories, so Wang Wenwu still has to wait for a while.
Wang Wenwu returned to France, hoping to find pistols in unclaimed warehouses. Pistols were more expensive than rifles in markets everywhere. When he was in China, Wang Wenwu saw someone holding a short gun modified from a Type 38 rifle.
Since the butt of the Type 38 rifle is a two-piece butt made of pine wood that is joined together through mortise and tenon joints and hinges, it will inevitably crack over time, so some butts will eventually fall off. If the butt happens to be
If the gun is dropped and the barrel is damaged, then it is easy to think of removing the butt and cutting the barrel short to use it as a
"Short gun" is used. This weapon is called o in foreign countries

ez. But everyone knows that pistols are valuable and are not as easy to get as rifles, so I didn’t see pistols in several warehouses.
But it's not that he didn't find good things. Wang Wenwu discovered several SMW mortars that France had collected from Germany. They were still late heavy mortars with barrels five times the diameter and a caliber of 250 mm.
And due to the low muzzle velocity, the shell can be made thinner. This allows the matching 97-kilogram shell to contain more explosives than ordinary shells of the same caliber, and its destructive power is even comparable to that of a 305mm heavy howitzer.
up and down.
Compared with the 240mm heavy mortar equipped by France at the time, the weight was only three-fifths of the former, and the 240mm heavy mortar had to be disassembled and transported, which took another 40 minutes.
Assemble it on a foundation reinforced by wooden piles before firing.
The SMW mortar only needs a carriage to be towed for maneuvering, and it only needs to find a suitable position when launching. There is no need for tedious advance preparations at all, and its flexibility is much higher than that of its French counterpart.
It's just that there aren't many supporting cannonballs in the warehouse, and it can be said that no one is managing the storage. I don't know how many of these cannonballs are still usable, and I don't know if they have been affected by moisture.
The primer of the artillery shell is most afraid of moisture. The primer is very sensitive. If it gets wet, it will not be able to ignite the propellant, and the shell will lose its effectiveness.
