Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest. This Darwin has seen through the rise and fall of all things in the world, and the reasons for the change of dynasties." After closing the paper, Tang Shaoyi really let out a long sigh.

"Seeing that North Korea is about to go into chaos, I don't expect General Manager Tang to still feel sad here." Tang Shaoyi was about to put down his book, but there was a sudden sneer from outside the door.

Tang Shaoyi is in charge of the Minister of North Korean Affairs, so some people call him General Tang.

"I don't know who is standing outside? Come and be the gentleman in front of Tang Shaoyi's window today." Tang Shaoyi was taken aback for a moment, then said calmly.

"Do you know Chief Tang?" Jin Yanxi pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face.

"You are Concubine Min's confidant, how can I not know it." Tang Shaoyi said while searching for the major events that happened in North Korea in recent days. However, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Happened.

With one hand, Jin Yanxi gently brushed the hair roots next to his ears, but with the other hand he took out a token from his bosom, and said with a smile: "Master Tang, can you deny this token?"

"You are!" Tang Shaoyi was shocked, looked straight at Jin Yanxi, and then said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever!"

"The sun and the moon are eternal, and the Chinese nation will last forever!" Jin Yanxi answered the code word without pausing.

"I didn't expect you to be a member of the Intelligence Department." Although Tang Shaoyi had already guessed, she said in astonishment after receiving the code words.

Even though he is the minister in charge of North Korean affairs, he never expected that China's penetration into North Korea has reached this level.

"Where did the 'chaos' come from?" Tang Shaoyi asked straight to the point now that she knew Jin Yanxi's identity.

"The king of Joseon, Li Xi, died this morning, and he didn't make it clear who is the crown prince. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle between the Min and Li families." Jin Yanxi said with emotion, frowning his brows, without being pretentious.

The conflict between the Min family and the Li family has been going on for a long time. Seeing that their relatives are becoming more and more powerful, the Li family will not sit still.

Now that Li Xi is dead, the battle for the new monarch is particularly important. If a two-year-old child ascends the throne, Concubine Min can be said to be a young king, so she will listen to the government behind the curtain and continue to take charge of the court; Taking millet from the fire may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory.

"The well-behaved Li Xi suddenly died suddenly! It really caught me off guard for a while. But this is North Korea's internal affairs. I believe that no matter who ascends the throne, it will not change the relationship with China." Tang Shaoyi thought for a while , and then express my own opinion.

Today's China-North Korea relationship is even worse than the relationship between the United States and Mexico. Mexico's resources such as mines and oil fields are in the hands of the Americans. There was once a Mexican president who wanted to nationalize the oil fields, but still Before he could sit still, he was chased away by the United States like a fly.

It is also easy for China to change North Korea's government, but in Tang Shaoyi's view, it is unnecessary, after all, North Korea is still loyal to China.

"Commander Tang has heard some rumors!" Jin Yanxi said with a strange expression.

"Rumours, rumors stop at wise men!" Before Tang Shaoyi finished speaking, she suddenly realized and asked hastily, "You mean, that ridiculous rumor is true?"

As the minister in the DPRK, of course he was able to learn a lot of secrets, but he never believed it, and always thought it was nonsense.

Jin Yanxi nodded slowly.

"This matter should be reported to the President as soon as possible." Tang Shaoyi's face finally changed, and he continued hastily: "Besides, I will immediately summon the North Korean cabinet ministers to express China's position."

"Since Commander Tang has countermeasures, my family will leave with peace of mind. The situation in the palace is tense, and my family can't leave for too long. EJ will go to... Qiqihar, where the temperature is at least suitable in June.

In the governor's mansion of the three eastern provinces, Ye Zhikui and Zhang Zhidong were talking at night by candlelight.

Zhang Zhidong is worthy of being Zhang Xiangshuai. It took only three years to turn the entire three eastern provinces into iron barrels. If the Russians want to invade again, unless there is another "civil strife" in China, it will be impossible.

The three eastern provinces have now become the areas with the smoothest railway connections in the whole of China. It is connected to the capital in the south, Inner Mongolia in the west, and North Korea and Vladivostok in the east. It is also incorporated into the railway system, among the branch lines.

It can be said responsibly that if there is another conflict with Russia now, China will definitely be able to take the lead.

Of course, this is also due to the continuous support and investment of the central government.

In the land of the three provinces, oil refineries, iron ore factories, agricultural tractor factories, etc., have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the number of pedestrians on the street is also increasing day by day.

In the military reclamation area, the soldiers of the agricultural reclamation regiment who were bravely converted from the patrol battalion, after learning that they could get a large piece of land compensation from the "government", their emotions were extremely high. After being reclaimed, the entire three northeastern provinces appear to be full of vitality and prosperity.

Zhang Zhidong also introduced new breeds of sheep from Australia, making heavy industry and agriculture go hand in hand.

The Northeast Heavy Industry Base that Ye Zhikui is trying to build is just around the corner.

"The merit of Xiangshuai lies in the future." Ye Zhikui couldn't help but sincerely praised Zhang Zhidong when he heard Zhang Zhidong talking about his grand blueprint.

Zhang Zhidong may have been rewarded for his aspirations, and he appeared to be full of energy, without the slightest sign of aging.

"If the President hadn't woken me up back then, Zhang Zhidong wouldn't be the Zhang Zhidong we are today." Zhang Zhidong replied modestly, but there was no trace of modesty on his face. I am also very proud.

"Before I came here, I didn't expect that the three provincial capitals are so rich. Unlike the Central Plains, the Northeast is not only vast, but also flat in some places. The cultivated land is very suitable for advanced machines." Zhang Zhidong said these few The experience of the year is eloquent.

"What Xiangshuai said is true. The Northeast is very suitable for mechanized production. The local "government" should organize the people and let them see the advantages." Ye Zhikui nodded in agreement.

"Oh, before I know it, the old man has reached the age of knowing his fate." Zhang Zhidong suddenly said with a feeling: "I don't know how many springs and autumns I can live through."

Ye Zhikui knew why he sighed, because within this year, the governors of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong all asked the "government" to retire due to old age and infirmity.

Today's bureaucratic system is still life-long, and if there are no serious mistakes, officials will only slowly rise up. Although Ye Zhikui has begun to consider abolishing the life-long system of officials and learning from the 60-year-old retirement system of later generations, but the rules of thousands of years, It is not enough to change overnight.

Seeing that Ye Zhikui was silent, Zhang Zhidong continued: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and most of the contemporaries of this old man have spent their lives at home. It is impossible to refuse to obey the old man."

Ye Zhikui smiled and said: "The matter of the three provinces requires Xiangshuai to preside over the overall situation, how can Xiangshuai talk about the old so easily."

Hearing Ye Zhikui's words, Zhang Zhidong was completely relieved. Li Hongzhang and other old people stepped down because of this or that, and a new generation replaced the old. He was afraid that Ye Zhikui would also let him, the old man, step down.

Ye Zhikui just eliminated some of the feudal frontier officials who were obsessed with old ideas. He would not move someone like Zhang Zhidong who was pushing the New Deal as hard as he could.

Zhang Zhidong looked out of the window, and the sky started to turn pale. Unknowingly, he and Ye Zhikui had talked all night.

"It's getting late, so Ye is leaving now." Seeing Zhang Zhidong's actions, Ye Zhikui stood up and said with a smile.

Zhang Zhidong yawned, and said with a smile, "I'm getting old, and my body can't stand it anymore. The president will continue to go north tomorrow, so I won't say much."

Ye Zhikui led a group of senior think tanks from the central government, set off from the capital, passed through Zhili and entered the Northeast, and then visited the ten provinces of the country in succession to gain a detailed understanding of the achievements of the provinces in the past few years and the current problems. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you don't inspect it in person, you will never know the facts based on the documents on the face.

Before Ye Zhikui slept for a few hours, the sky was already fully lit.

Qiu Jin originally wanted Ye Zhikui to rest for a while, but when I saw him, I hurried over.

"Is the President in there?" I asked with a serious look when I saw someone.

As for the popular person beside Ye Zhikui, Qiu Jin is out of 1 and [-]. In this girl's heart, besides flattering, I probably have no other strengths when I meet people.

"The President talked with Mr. Zhang all night last night, and he just fell asleep!" Qiu Jin said angrily.

When I met people, I could feel Qiu Jin's prejudice against him, but now is not the time to say more, so I said seriously: "Wake up the President, something big has happened."

Qiu Jin understood the importance of things, and when I saw someone, I said seriously, so I hurried in.

"Principal, I ask to see you when I see someone." Qiu Jin said, shaking Ye Zhikui's arm lightly.

Originally, there was no need for Qiu Jin to wake up Ye Zhikui, Ye Zhikui had his own orderly, but along the way, Qiu Jin saw that these men were really careless, so she slowly took over some chores, without even realizing that Ye Zhikui was behind her. become more and more important in mind.

Ye Zhikui opened his eyes in a daze, and was taken aback by Qiu Jin who was approaching. His body tensed up, and he raised his head. It was no coincidence that this move didn't matter, but it happened to be right at Qiu Jin's mouth. slightly parted red lips.

With a bang, Qiu Jin's head went blank, as if struck by lightning, and his whole body became extremely stiff.
