Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun's family is not a big landlord, but they also belong to the landlord class locally, and the family is relatively wealthy.Therefore, the family has a small village outside the city, where Duan Xun lived and studied when he was a child.

This is the place where Duan Xun lived, the former residence of celebrities, a key protection unit, and a national key protection unit determined by the Ministry of Culture.The tables and chairs used by Duan Xun have become cultural relics.

So someone raised an objection, and the question came directly to the Ministry of Culture.This matter involves Duan Xun, so the following can only be cautious.Why does New China always say "prevent left deviation" from the first generation of leaders.

This is the reason.

When it comes to Duan Xun, no one below dares to call the shots.Worry about problems that will affect your future.Maybe this is just a small matter, Duan Xun doesn't care.But what would happen if Duan Xun really cared?They don't dare to gamble casually.So for them, the best way is not to touch him.It's still a small thing.The bigger problem is that once the central government has some policies, if the lower levels do not understand these policies well, they would rather solve the problem across the board than be ambiguous.Because even if it’s wrong across the board, it’s still doing the best you can.Therefore, many policies will change a lot when they come down. That is to say, China's current political system can easily breed leftist problems, that is, excessive problems.

The grassroots government has always been "prefer the left rather than the right", the left is a matter of attitude, and the right is a matter of position.Even if something happened to Zuo, it could be said to be for work.But something happened to the "right", that is, there is a problem with the stand, and there is a possibility of making political mistakes.

It's the same thing this time.

Neither the local government nor the Ministry of Culture want to touch this matter, so they directly stated that this is a national cultural relic protection unit, and the Ministry of Communications cannot pass through here.After the Ministry of Communications knew what happened, it could only change the original plan.

Because of this repetition, even Duan Xun heard the news.Therefore, Duan Xun invited Dai Kan, the prime minister of the cabinet, and Yu Youren, the cabinet member in charge of infrastructure construction such as transportation and railways, and He Lian, the director of preparations for the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, to discuss with them.

Changing the original design route will cost an extra 4000 million.

This is 4000 million.

Although China has developed greatly in recent years, China's economic strength has been greatly strengthened, and China's fiscal revenue is already in tens of billions.But even so 4000 million is not a small number.

How could Duan Xun bear this.

"Chairman, do you mean to adopt the original design?"

"of course."

For Duan Xun, it was a broken house.Although it has some memory value, Duan Xun himself almost forgot about this house outside the city.After all, it has been more than 30 years since Duan Xun left Shandong.Over the past 30 years, the number of times I have returned to my hometown can be counted.But now it costs an extra 4000 million for such a house, how could Duan Xun agree.

"Vice Chairman Dai (Dai Kan), I know that our economy is getting better now, and many people are talking about the protection of cultural relics. I personally support the protection of cultural relics very much, because this is our history. The Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics formulated by the Ministry of Culture 'I also very much agree that these historical relics should be protected. But I don't agree with raising the value of cultural relics infinitely, as if they are everything. What I want to say is that development is the last word. We must protect cultural relics, but Development is more needed. Of course, we must do our best to protect what can be protected, but if it affects development, then we must focus on development. The cabinet must grasp this degree, and the "cultural relics protection law" must be complied with, but not mechanically. The so-called cultural relics delay development. Especially this time, it is just a small dilapidated house, and the crucial government spent 4000 million more. This kind of thing must not happen in the future."

"Yes."

Dai Kan nodded.

Duan Xun continued: "I recently heard that some businessmen in our country buy some valuable cultural relics from abroad and donate them to our museums. Some of our Chinese businessmen will also do this kind of thing. I read in the newspaper that these businessmen Praise a lot. What I want to say is that this kind of thing should not be praised, but must be banned. In the past, the great powers used guns to rob our wealth, but now they use these looted cultural relics to rob our wealth. Although our country has developed over the years Yes, I have some money in my hands, but our country is still a country where poor people occupy the majority. At this stage, our main task is to develop the economy and improve the lives of our people. Don’t do these fancy, empty-headed things. Of course I I affirm the patriotic enthusiasm of these businessmen. We should encourage their spirit, but I want to criticize their actions. Because this is not patriotic, it is giving money to the big powers. With this money, it is better to invest in improving people’s livelihood. Good. Let the Ministry of Culture take care of such things, and protect the precious cultural relics left in the country is the most important thing. Our museum will not accept this kind of cultural relics donated after purchasing from the cultural relic dealers of the great powers in the future. Since The great powers like those cultural relics, so let them see enough and keep them in their hands. We don’t want those cultural relics in the future. Of course, some businessmen want to buy these cultural relics and keep them for themselves. That’s their business, and the government doesn’t intervene. But we The museums in China can’t do this kind of thing, unless the big powers themselves donate, otherwise they can’t buy it with money. These cultural relics stay abroad, but can educate our future generations. Because those cultural relics are our shameful history, there is no need to go Erase that history."

Duan Xun is not a literati, Duan Xun is a government leader.

To put it bluntly, Duan Xun's level is completely different from those literati.Not to mention a little damage to cultural relics, even if half of the cultural relics in China are damaged, Duan Xun will not blink his eyes.

If the destruction of these cultural relics is used in exchange for a comprehensive transcendence of the United States, Duan Xun will not hesitate to give up those so-called cultural relics.When China is so powerful that the whole world will look up to it, scholars from all over the world will come together to study Chinese culture and help China inherit Chinese culture.

This time the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, not to mention destroying a Zhuangzi outside the city where Duan Xun lived, even if it pushed Duan Xun's home, Duan Xun would not object.Of course, Duan Xun knew that what he said today would definitely cause a lot of damage to cultural relics in many places in the country.

But Duan Xun can only choose this way.

There are too many "masters" in China. If we stop construction on the grounds of ancient buildings, it will affect urban development and transportation construction.If he criticizes the destruction of cultural relics in this era decades or 100 years later, then Duan Xun is willing to bear the infamy.

"Boom boom boom——"

While discussing the issue of cultural relics, Wang Jingwei knocked on the door lightly and walked in.

"Chairman, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are going to negotiate, and the chairman is invited to participate."

In 1943, the war became more and more intense, and the world situation changed more and more quickly.

After a brutal war in 1942, the Anti-Fascist Alliance completely took the initiative on the battlefield in 1943.Moreover, there are more and more things that need to cooperate with each other, so the contact between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union is becoming more and more frequent.Now the Anglo-American coalition launched the Battle of Sicily in Europe and the Battle of Imphal on the Indian-Myanmar battlefield.

Of course, the center of the world is still Europe, so the root of the problem is still in Europe.For the European campaign, it was originally the United States and the Soviet Union who wanted to meet, and it was Roosevelt who wanted to meet with Stalin to discuss the following cooperation issues.After not knowing enough about the meeting between the United States and the Soviet Union, Churchill of the United Kingdom also stated that he hoped that the United Kingdom would also participate in this meeting.After all, the United Kingdom is also a major country in the world, and it is impossible to completely bypass the United Kingdom in matters of Europe.Therefore, what was supposed to be a meeting between the United States and the Soviet Union became a meeting of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union.

After it was decided that Britain would participate, both Roosevelt and Stalin soon believed that China should be invited to this meeting.Although China has not yet joined the anti-fascist alliance, since Duan Xun met with US Secretary of State Hull, China has been getting closer and closer to the anti-fascist alliance in the past year.

At this time, both the United States and the Soviet Union need China, and even if they are forced to pull, they hope to pull China into the anti-fascist alliance.

Stalin needed China because Stalin needed China's support.Although Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are allies now, we must cooperate to defeat Germany, Italy and Japan.But defeating Germany and Italy, how to defeat Germany and Italy, and what to do after defeating Germany and Italy are all important issues.In this respect the contradiction between the Soviet Union and Great Britain was great.

In the recent communication between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, the differences between the two parties have always been irreconcilable.The United Kingdom still regards itself as the world's hegemon, and is used to bossing around, and what it never forgets is to control Europe.But this is something the Soviet Union cannot agree to.The Soviet Union paid such a high price to gain an advantage in the Soviet-German War. How could it allow Europe to become the territory of the United Kingdom again.

From the perspective of the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States are a group, and they must cooperate to run on themselves.So the Soviet Union needs an ally, a powerful ally.Although China is not considered an ally of the Soviet Union, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has eased a lot after negotiations on the establishment of a border demilitarized zone during this period.During the cooperation between the two sides in the demilitarized zone, the Soviet Union began to understand some of China's ideas.Although China and the Soviet Union are not allies, they can reach agreement on certain issues.For the sake of benefit, we can temporarily cooperate to fight against Britain and the United States.

As in the Soviet Union, so in the United States.

The United States is powerful, but it does not mean that the United States can really control everything.After the outbreak of World War II, the United States suffered too many casualties, far exceeding the United States' own estimates.Although the casualties on the British side are astonishingly large, in fact, most of the casualties on the British side are not British.Among the British troops, the greatest casualties were their Commonwealth and colonial troops.The United States does not have as many allies and colonies as the United Kingdom, and all casualties are its own.

America couldn't take it anymore.

Especially on the Pacific battlefield, although the United States currently has the advantage, Japan still occupies so many Pacific islands.Among those Pacific islands, Japan has military bases, and the Japanese troops in these military bases add up to nearly 200 million people.If the United States hits down one by one, I don't know how many casualties there will be.Moreover, solving so many Japanese troops cannot be completed in a short while.

This is not in the interests of the United States.

For the United States, Europe is where its greatest interests lie.After all, Europe is the political and economic center of the world.In Asia, even if you beat Japan, you won't get much benefit.After all, in addition to Japan, there is also the giant China in Asia.In the previous negotiations between China and the United States, the United States agreed to give up Asia to China.Even if the United States reneges on its promise in the end, the United States will not have an advantage in a war with a big country like China in Asia.Therefore, for the United States, it is the right way to quickly resolve the affairs of Europe and reach out to Europe.

Instead of ink blots on the Asian side.

But if the Japanese army in the Pacific is not resolved, the United States is also worried.After all, Japan controls so many important Pacific islands. If you don't continue to attack Japan now, the situation will change again when Japan stabilizes its position.The United States really dare not judge Japan's behavior casually, because Japan is like a lunatic, and you can't guess his next plan at all.So the best way is to kill Japan with a stick.

But it's easier said than done.

Not to mention the Japanese army in the Pacific, including the Japanese army on the India-Myanmar battlefield, the United States currently does not have enough confidence to completely defeat it.In the Battle of Imphal launched by the British and American Allied Forces, the Japanese army still caused a lot of casualties to the British and American Allied Forces under the circumstances of non-combat attrition.The U.S. air force has air supremacy, but the Japanese air force resisted fiercely.A large-scale aerial battle took place over Imphal between the United States and Japan, with heavy losses on both sides.In order to gain air supremacy, the United States dispatched another 30 aviation squadrons to India on the original basis.

The United States has carefully assessed the strength of the British army.

Just relying on the ground forces of the British army, it is already the limit to be able to recapture Imphal.It is almost impossible to solve the more than 60 troops on the India-Myanmar battlefield and the more than 100 million troops in the Indochina Peninsula.The United States has no plans to send army troops to the India-Myanmar battlefield for the time being, so the US military is really not sure when the India-Myanmar battlefield will be able to completely defeat the Japanese army.

The United States searched around and understood that it is impossible to completely separate the support of China from the Japanese army.Only when China decides to take action can it shorten the time to defeat the Japanese army.So Roosevelt also hoped to allow China to participate in the meeting.Although Britain regards itself very highly and has always regarded itself as the hegemon of the world, the United States and the Soviet Union do not take Britain seriously now.After the two countries decided, Churchill could only follow.Therefore, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union jointly sent an invitation to China to invite Duan Xun to attend the meeting in person.

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Xun agreed to the invitation.Because Duan Xun knew that the meeting of the heads of state of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union was no longer simply for the victory of the war, and it would definitely involve the post-war world structure.As a big country, China cannot be absent from such meetings, and must express its own attitude on the division of the post-war world structure.So Duan Xun decided to accept the invitation to attend this meeting.

Of course, holding a meeting does not mean that you can hold a meeting if you want to hold a meeting.

Just to determine the location of the meeting, several countries will come and go.The United States initially wanted to hold a conference in the United States, and Britain agreed.But Stalin vetoed the US proposal, thinking that when the Soviet-German battlefield was in full swing, he, as the supreme commander, should not leave the Soviet Union too far away.

Stalin opposed the meeting in the United States, so Roosevelt said that he could go to North Africa for the meeting.

Because after the end of the Tunisian campaign, the North African campaign was completely over, and the British and American coalition forces had completely controlled North Africa.But Stalin still opposed it, thinking that North Africa was too far away.In fact, what Stalin meant was that whether it was the mainland of the United States, Canada, or North Africa, they were all British and American territories and areas controlled by Britain and the United States.Stalin was unwilling to go to the home court of Britain and the United States for a meeting.

In fact, when discussing where to hold the meeting, Duan Xun didn't interrupt much.However, after Stalin expressed his attitude, Duan Xun also expressed his support for Stalin and did not agree to hold a meeting in North Africa.

For Duan Xun, North Africa is too far away.And as Stalin said, North Africa is the territory of Britain and the United States, and Duan Xun is not willing to go to their home court.Finally Stalin proposed a place.

Iran.

Stalin said that the conference could be held in Iran.China has not expressed its position yet, but Churchill thinks that the meeting can be held in Iran.But for Iran, the United States does not agree.Roosevelt believed that North Africa was the best place and insisted on holding the meeting in North Africa.Stalin did not want to go to the home ground of Britain and the United States, and Roosevelt did not want to go to the home ground of Britain and the Soviet Union.
