"Dudu" there was a low knock on the door. Su Tong put down the book in his hand and opened the door. The head of the guard, Tieniu, stood at the door and said expressionlessly: "Sir, Chief Jiang and Mr. Zhou have arrived.
"
Su Tong stood up and saw Zhou Tiecheng standing at the door and Jiang Baili next to him. He smiled and greeted him: "Mr. Zhou, you are a rare visitor. Welcome." He held Zhou Tiecheng's hand tightly with both hands and did not let go for a long time.
The reason why Su Tong had a good impression of Zhou Tiecheng was not other than his noble integrity. As early as when he was in primary school in the Northeast, he had a feeling that the Japanese and Russians were fighting for their interests in the Northeast and launched a Japanese-Russian attack in the Northeast that caused heavy casualties to the Chinese people.
During the war, he wrote the poem "I feel fascinated when I recall the old age of the First World War, and feel sad when I think about the war between Russia and Japan." He even made a vow to "study for the rise of China" in class. This is what he wrote and what he did.
This oath also followed him throughout his life. When he was young, he was worried about his country and was looking for a way to save the country that was in line with China's national conditions.
Even his enemies had to admire him for his intelligence. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek spoke highly of him and offered him favorable terms several times to win him over. However, seeing that the National Congress Party was not the real force to save China, he decided to
He rejected the chairmanship and resolutely devoted himself to the arduous revolutionary cause. Although he lacked the determination and courage to kill and make decisive decisions, and he could not stand alone as a handsome man, he could face his own weaknesses. Therefore, although he had a high position within the organization
Prestige, but willing to help others, that is, he recognizes himself clearly, finds his position, and is responsible for the specific implementation of the work for a long time. Although he cannot do the light and easy work necessary for a handsome man. However, he is good at solving various complex conflicts and activities.
He has strong communication skills and can solve various problems very well. He is the kind of person who can be relieved of all worries as long as he leaves the home to him.
It can be said that Su Tong is very envious of such a good strategist and staff person. Although Jiang Baili has a high prestige within the army, it is only in terms of military matters, and his handling of things and ability are much higher than those of Jiang Baili.
Not Zhou Tiecheng, especially not good at political decision-making. Su Tong is very clear about Zhou Tiecheng's ability. After just a few interactions, he has seen his impeccable style. When working in the office, he does everything meticulously and personally.
Thorough and meticulous, solid and steady.
Zhou Tiecheng felt a little excited when he saw Su Tong coming around from behind the desk and holding his hand. The young man in front of him was the one who now controls the largest and most elite armed force in China. After calming down, Zhou Tiecheng also said with a smile.
: "General Su, you are busy with things, so you don't have to be polite."
Jiang Baili on the side joked: "Jianming, when Mr. Zhou is here, why don't you make a cup of good tea to greet the guests?"
Su Tong let go of his hand in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Look, I, the master, have forgotten. I will let someone make tea right now."
After a while, the little nurse made tea and brought it to everyone. Su Tong handed the tea to Zhou Tiecheng and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, come and taste the oolong tea from Wuyi Mountain."
Zhou Tiecheng took the tea, took a sip and said with a smile: "This tea is really good. I haven't had such good tea in northern Shaanxi for a long time."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Tiecheng was about to put down the tea cup, but he accidentally saw a book on the coffee table and the author's name written on the book. He was stunned and couldn't help but said: "General Su, I can give you this book."
Take a look?"
Su Tong nodded and said, "Of course."
Zhou Tiecheng picked up the book and took a look. The title of the book itself was very eye-catching. It was called The Rise of the Great Powers. He flipped through it briefly and found that the book was not thick and was divided into nine chapters. It started with the first chapter of the first chapter. Portugal, a colonial power, tells the story of Portugal in the fifteenth century, with the support of national power, it carried out sailing adventures and divided the world in mutual competition. It relied on new routes and colonial plunder to establish a colonial empire with power all over the world. In the sixteenth century, Portugal It reached its peak in the first half of the century and became the first generation of world powers. It talks about the rise of the Netherlands, Britain and the Industrial Revolution until the final chapter. This article reviews the development process of various world powers over the past hundreds of years and discusses the great powers. The key factors in China’s rise and the path China will take in the future.
This book is a work that Su Tong signed his name after deleting and elaborating the events of the later generations and the too advanced thoughts from the later books of the same name. This book has been carefully edited by many historians experts in later generations and Su Tong. The book that came out after deletion naturally made Zhou Tiecheng's eyes light up. He grabbed the book tightly and asked: "General Su, was this book written by you? Can you give me a copy?"
Su Tong saw his name written on the book and said with a smile: "Haha, this is a boring work in my spare time. Since Mr. Zhou likes you, just take it. Besides, I will read this book in two days." It’s about to be published, I’ll give you a few more copies when you go back.”
"Thank you." Zhou Tiecheng solemnly collected it and put it aside. But at the same time, he also felt a chill in his heart. He just flipped through the opening pages and felt the magnificence of this book. As a well-read man, Zhou Tiecheng, a senior intellectual, knew as soon as he read the contents of the book that he could not write such a majestic masterpiece without a profound foundation of knowledge and a person who views issues from a perspective that oversees the overall situation. He asked himself and wrote There was no such book that covered both Chinese and Western knowledge, so he became increasingly curious and admired about the author of the book in front of him.
"General Su, you are really amazing. You are able to write such a profound book in your spare time from busy work. I am really ashamed of my generation." It can be seen that Zhou Tiecheng is telling the truth.
Su Tong felt a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, you've given me the award."
Jiang Baili on the side smiled and said: "Jianming likes to write something when he has nothing to do. Last time he wrote a book about the social structure and thinking patterns of the Japanese. I thought it made sense after reading it. Where is it now? This book has been published in the United States, and it is said that it has been used as a special teaching material by American politicians."
"Oh, really?" Zhou Tiecheng was really surprised this time. The General Su in front of him was really a scholar-type general. He knew that he wanted to write a book that would be listed as a textbook for the political institutions of a country. Writing books requires so much literary talent, but this young general did it. It’s really amazing.
"What's the name of that book? Can you give me a copy?"
"Of course. The name of the book is Chrysanthemum and Knife. I will have it delivered to you later."
Zhou Tiecheng is also a book lover. He looked around the study room and found that there were many kinds of books in the study room. The bookcases contained books on military art, philosophy books, scientific and technological expertise, as well as some translation materials and some book.
Among them, the art of war at home and abroad occupies a large space, such as Sun Tzu's art of war in ancient China, Wu Zi, Sun Bin's art of war, art of war, Li Weigong's question, Yue Wumu's legacy, military training records, Chu army camp system; Suvorov
The Science of Victory, Napoleon's Selected Works, and Clausewitz's Theory of War. Next to these books are various tactical and campaign manuals and various military textbooks and books. The art of war is okay, at least people have heard of it, and those tactical and campaign manuals and textbooks
But they don't know anything about it. It seems that they wrote it themselves.
Su Tong said with a smile: "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has three treasures, Bismarck's biography, Zeng Hu Zhibing's quotations, and Zeng Wenzhenggong's family letters. And your army also has special theoretical books as guidance. I am a lonely person, so I have to learn from them and put together some books to read.
Look. Fortunately, these books are still very useful to me. As long as they are helpful to us, I have no reason to refuse to study. As Mr. Gu Yue of your party said: Real knowledge comes from practice.
, rather than just reading books. What I read more is historical books such as Zizhi Tongjian and Twenty-Four Histories. Taking history as a mirror, these things are still of great significance to us now."
Zhou Tiecheng sighed and said: "General Su is such a talented person, no wonder he can govern Chahar so prosperously."
Su Tong smiled and waved: "You are too polite. I only achieved what I have achieved today by standing on the shoulders of giants. It is not worth mentioning."
The three of them discussed some topics in the study. Su Tong believed that the rise of a country mainly relies on science and technology. In the final analysis, the competition between countries is a competition of national quality and talent. Su Tong also listed 21
This kind of civilization has appeared in history and then disappeared one after another. The conclusion is that the reason for the death of these civilizations, without exception, was not homicide, but suicide. They lost the vitality of innovation and were eliminated by history.
Su Tong also pointed out that among the four ancient civilizations: Egypt, India, China, and Babylon, none of them could develop during the great wave of development from the 15th century to the 19th century. This is why this is the case for several decades.
It is closely related to the thousands of years of feudal rule. During the thousands of years of feudal rule, people's thoughts have been deeply ingrained, they lack the spirit of adventure, and they reject new things.
Coupled with the great unification of the country, the self-sufficient economy within the country can fully meet the needs of the country, and there is less competition with neighboring countries, unlike European countries, which creates natural natural selection conditions, forcing European countries to compete for the sake of survival.
Never fail, work hard to explore, and become rich and powerful in the competition.
And China was still moving forward slowly in a very comfortable environment. By the middle of the 19th century, European countries had completed the industrial revolution one after another. However, due to the underdeveloped information in this game, China was completely ignored and missed the opportunity.
Good opportunity to develop gaming.
The three of them argued in the study room from time to time, their faces turned red, and they also laughed from time to time. The little nurse outside kept shaking her head.
