The sun never sets

Cai Yuanpei said angrily: "Can't we just be quiet for a few days? What kind of movement is this?"

"They say we need to destroy the four olds!"

Wu Zhihui picked up a copy of the People's Daily and saw the headline "Sweep Away All Monsters and Demons". He quickly read the article and understood, "So this is the trick!"

Cai Yuanpei said: "This campaign of destroying the four olds is to destroy feudal etiquette, which does make sense. But we are afraid that the officials below will not be able to understand the spirit of the central government as before."

"That's right! Without the supervision of the wise men in society, those... those people will definitely do whatever they want. He Qing, we must report this problem to the central government again!"

"That's right!"

"Principal...something bad has happened!" Another student ran over shouting.

Cai Yuanpei frowned and scolded: "What's wrong? Look at your impetuous look! I taught you to stay calm in times of crisis, the sky will not fall!"

He scolded the student until he turned pale, then asked with satisfaction, "What's wrong?"

The school replied tremblingly: "The workers...the workers' parade is coming this way!"

"Ah?" Cai Yuanpei adjusted his glasses. "This is Shuimu University. What are they doing here?"

The student was about to answer when a thunderous shout rang out from outside, "Down with the scholar tycoon Cai Yuanpei!"

"Down with the scholar tycoon Cai Yuanpei!"

"Down with the scholar tycoon Cai Yuanpei!"

"Long live the great alliance of workers and peasants!"

"Long live the great alliance of workers and peasants!"

"Long live the great alliance of workers and peasants!"

Cai Yuanpei's mouth twitched a few times, and his fingers began to tremble. He shouted tremblingly: "What do they want to do?"

Wu Zhihui's face also looked a lot paler, but he was still relatively calm. After all, it was Cai Yuanpei who was to be overthrown, not him. "I'll go to the police station and call the police!" He volunteered, "We can't let those people mess around!"

The slogans outside were so loud that Cai Yuanpei didn't care about anything else. He just agreed and hurriedly went to find someone to block the door. If those people didn't rush in, damaging the tables and chairs would be a small matter. But if he was caught and beaten up, it would be a disgrace.

Isn't it just a few curses in the newspaper? Why is it so serious?

"Long live Chairman Lin!"

"Long live Chairman Lin!"

"Long live Chairman Lin!"

The shouts were getting closer and closer. Cai Yuanpei stood on a chair and looked out. There was a crowd of people, all of whom had dark skin, showing the true colors of the working people. There were already more than 20 students and teachers blocking the door, but when he saw the small bodies of the students and the strong arms of the workers, Cai Yuanpei couldn't help trembling.

Fortunately, the workers did not rush in, but stopped at the school gate to shout slogans. After shouting several times, a worker representative stood up and shouted with a wooden trumpet: "Cai Yuanpei, you have the courage to talk nonsense in the newspaper, don't you have the courage to stand up now?"

Cai Yuanpei's chest rose and fell rapidly, "Damn it!"

He jumped down from the chair and wanted to go to the door to explain things, but was stopped by Li Shizeng and Wu Jingheng, "He Qing... He Qing! Don't be impulsive!"

Seeing that Cai Yuanpei did not dare to come out, the workers laughed mockingly and continued to shout slogans at the school gate. The shouts of thousands of people shook the earth and could be heard clearly within a radius of several miles. Cai Yuanpei listened to the slogans shouted by the workers outside and his face gradually turned pale. His lips kept opening and closing, as if he was saying something, but the noise outside was too loud and no one could hear what he said.

"Beep-beep--"

—”

A sharp whistle sounded, and the police lined up and ran over. The police station chief stood at the school gate and shouted, "Stand—Stand!"

The police were few in number, but their movements were very uniform. The chief of the police station was a retired sergeant who retired to become a chief because he was shot in the right arm and broke his bones. He usually trained his subordinates as if they were in the army, so the police acted very murderous.

"Director Song is here!"

"Great, we're saved now!"

Seeing the police coming, the workers gradually calmed down, and the teachers and students breathed a sigh of relief. Cai Yuanpei's face turned red, and he walked to the door, saying in a bad tone: "Director Song, so many people came to the school gate to make trouble, and you didn't do anything about it?"

A teacher nearby said, "Instead of going home to rest on the weekend, you come here to cause trouble, and at the entrance of the university. This is outrageous!"

Director Song snorted, "Whether it is a riot or not is not up to you to say. They reported it in advance and did not rush into the school. Can this be called a riot? The people have the right to march, as long as they report it in advance. This is the law, do you understand?"

The teachers were very dissatisfied. The law...is the law decided by people like you?

"But you can't come to the university gate to make trouble!"

“It’s a parade!”

Cai Yuanpei reached out to stop the teachers and students from talking, pushed his glasses up, and said to Director Song: "Universities are places for education and education, not for parades. Now that something like this has happened, it will not only make the central government look bad, but will also hinder the international outlook."

"Ha, another one of those things where the allies are surprised?"

Director Song couldn't help laughing, "The Americans may be surprised, but we are not afraid!" He ignored Cai Yuanpei who was trembling again, and turned back to talk to the workers' representatives.

"You must maintain order, you cannot enter schools, you cannot smash, loot, or rob. It is your right to march, but you cannot break the law."

"Don't worry, we all know. Our workers' pickets are right next to us. Anyone who dares to do those things must be a spy sent by the enemy!" While speaking, the worker representative glanced at Cai Yuanpei, Li Shizeng and others beside him.

Cai Yuanpei's face turned even paler. He didn't want to be humiliated here any longer, so he just waved his hand and said, "Look, it's nothing." Go ahead and make a scene. Today is Sunday, so you can only make a scene for one day. Tomorrow, you can go to work and everything will be quiet.

Chapter 506 Berlin

When Wang Changhao and others arrived in Berlin, they were all shocked by its prosperity. They had seen the passion of fighting against heaven and earth and the railways that stretched thousands of miles in China, but China had just touched the threshold of industrialization, while Germany was already an industrialized power. Compared with Berlin, Taiyuan and Chang'an could only be regarded as huge construction sites.

After all, Germany led the Second Industrial Revolution and has been at the forefront of the world, unlike China which is still catching up.

The delegation from China received an unusually warm welcome from the German government, probably because Kaiser Wilhelm II had not given up the idea of concluding a military alliance with China. German newspapers used multiple pages to introduce "China's genius scientist Mr. Wang", and Wang Changhao's black and white photo soon became known to the whole of Germany. Not only the Germans were very concerned about Wang Changhao and his group, but also the British, French and other countries.

While the ruling class was busy preparing for war, the scientific community had not yet reached the narrow-minded level that it later became, but was cheering for new theories and new achievements. In recent years, the Chinese have made a lot of groundbreaking work in physics, chemistry and mathematics. People may still have the impression that the Chinese are like money and rats, but scientists do not think so. Instead, they regard China as a country worthy of equal treatment.

As soon as the delegation arrived in Germany, the Chinese ambassador to the UK received news that the Royal Academy of Engineering, Oxford University and other schools invited Wang Changhao and others to visit the British Isles for academic visits after visiting Germany. The British Empire is on the decline, but the level of science and technology is still very high, and the accumulation of hundreds of years has not been exhausted. Lin Yongchang's "science has no borders" is recognized by many scientists. It is said that he may also win the Nobel Prize in Physics or Chemistry, but Lin Yongchang is not very interested in these things. If he really wins the award, he will probably not go to receive the award in person, and at most send someone to receive it on his behalf.

The Germans were very proud of Berlin's modernization and were happy to see the surprised expressions of the Chinese. "There is no greater city in the world than Berlin!" The Germans said so. Although the Chinese disagreed, they did not refute him directly, but just smiled. Berlin is certainly prosperous, but to say it is the greatest city is a bit too much.

In order to welcome the Chinese coming from the other side of the continent, Kaiser Wilhelm II arranged a grand welcoming ceremony. The roads were crowded with enthusiastic Berliners, and the balconies facing the streets were also filled with men and women. Those people talked loudly, and the air was full of "buzzing" sounds. Wang Changhao and his friends had all participated in the founding ceremony and the victory parade. Although the German welcoming ceremony was lively, it was still a little worse than that in China.

The evening drinking party made Wang Changhao and his friends a little embarrassed. If nothing else, the exposed shoulders and white hemispheres were too shocking. It was the first time Wang Changhao had seen such a situation, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

“All European cocktail parties are like this. I’m used to it.

Just fine. "

The ambassador smiled and explained to Wang Changhao and others, then picked up his glass and greeted others in a familiar manner. Those who could attend the reception were at least well-known figures in the German scientific community, or belonged to the aristocracy.

After the ambassador left, Wang Changhao didn't dare to look around and focused on the food. The cheese was okay, but the rare steak was really unappetizing. The cream mushrooms were good, and the sausages were good.

"Is that Mr. Wang?"

"Looks so young!"

“So cute!”

Wang Changhao felt embarrassed as he could hear the women talking nearby. He even began to doubt whether it was a good idea to come here. It was so interesting to read books in school.

"Hello there!"

A clear voice sounded beside me. I turned around and saw a delicate face and delicate collarbone. The girl smiled and said in German: "My name is Emilia. Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang, the great scientist from China?"

"Well, my last name is Wang, but I'm not a great scientist. I just wrote some derivation formulas..."

"I've seen your photo in the newspaper." Emilia interrupted him with a smile, "I'm also very interested in quantum mechanics. Can you help me answer some questions?"

"Yes, of course!"

Wang Changhao was shocked and was about to have an academic discussion with the other party, but Emilia held his hand and said, "There are too many people here. Let's go to another place."

Her palms are so soft... Wang Changhao had such a thought in his mind, and his body involuntarily followed the girl and walked towards the second floor. He heard teasing words from behind, "Ah, Emilia is still quick!"

Emilia pulled Wang Changhao into an empty room, and then turned around and locked the door. The boy looked around, but there was no blackboard, no paper or pen. How could he write the derivation formula?

"What are you looking at?"

"I........."

Emilia grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest, her eyes full of spring. The boy was immediately confused. What...what...what is going on? Ahhhhhhh! But it feels so soft!

He couldn't help rubbing it. Wasn't this supposed to be a discussion of quantum mechanics? Why did it turn out like this?

Emilia laughed, "You won't still... Don't worry, just leave it to me, I will let you..."

Wang Changhao had forgotten all about quantum mechanics. All he could see was smooth white skin and swaying mountains. Although he had never learned these things before, some things didn't need to be learned. When the weakness was mastered, instinct took control of his body.

Emilia's skin was smooth and tight, and felt as smooth as silk. The boy didn't know why he became like this. He was trembling slightly when he licked the yogurt, and then he was pushed down on the table by Emilia. Under the light, he could see the girl's cheeks flushed, and her weak spot was entangled by her soft tongue. With the sound of "smacking", the boy grabbed the peaks and kept asking for more.

Suddenly, his weakness was exposed to the air, and he felt uncomfortable. But soon, Emilia rode on him. A different kind of moist warmth enveloped him. The table under him made a creaking sound, and the whole world shook.

Panting and groaning sounded in the room, and the battle spread from the table to the floor. The first time was always quick, and Wang Changhao shuddered under Emilia, but soon stood up again under the play of delicate hands.

It's unknown when the young man turned over and took the initiative. He didn't have any special skills, but he was young and energetic, and he relied on instinct to conquer the mountains and valleys in front of him.

Chapter 507 Giant

After a long time, the clouds cleared and the rain dispersed. Emilia lay on the boy's chest, drawing circles with her fingers. Wang Changhao was still in a daze. After a while, his smart IQ regained his rationality.

"why?"

The boy in his sage state asked, "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why is this happening?" The young man looked at the girl's smooth body and was tempted to do something, but he thought of the blood he had seen before and suppressed the impulse. His head was full of question marks, which sometimes turned into exclamation marks, but there were still more question marks.

"Because I like you!"

“…But we’ve never seen it before!”

"I've seen you in the newspaper!" Emilia's finger stopped. The child stood up and looked at him with his beautiful green eyes. "Even Mr. Planck said you are a genius!"

"Um, you are because of this......"

“Bah!” Emilia kissed him on the cheek. “Besides, you’re also very beautiful!”

"Is that so?" The boy was a little embarrassed, "But..."

The news of what happened at the party spread quickly, and the upper class in Berlin and the visiting delegation all knew about it. Emilia openly went out with the boy, and the boy was so addicted to it that he couldn't wait to have a minute to see her.

The head of the delegation didn't know how to deal with this situation. Wang Changhao was a scientist trained by the state, but now he was having an affair with a German woman. He didn't know what to do, so he reported the situation to the country.

The people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were not easy to deal with, and there was no similar case to refer to before, so they simply reported the situation all the way to Chairman Lin. After Lin Yongchang learned about the Germans' tricks, he was speechless. The Germans used this trick to trick Nicholas II before, and now they used it again. I heard that the girl was the daughter of the count, which was a huge investment.

"We should not interfere with young people's free love. As long as it does not violate the law or the party's system, we should not object."

Since Marshal Lin had spoken, it was like a final conclusion. Wang Changhao could legitimately show his affection with Emilia in public, and it was said that they were already talking about marriage. In addition to Wang Changhao, other people in the delegation also dated German girls, and some of them who were already married had developed some relationships beyond friendship with the dragoons.

The gossip from Europe caused some discussion, but that was all. The distance was too great, and it took a long time for news from Europe to arrive. Although there were telegraphs and telephones, and although there were many economic exchanges, the whole world was still in a state of division. Europe, America, Africa and Asia were still divided, and the wave of globalization had not yet arrived.

But for the Japanese, the United States across the Pacific Ocean exerted great pressure on them. After the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the battleships of the US Navy were all destroyed. Only one year later, the Americans had two dreadnoughts. Although these two dreadnoughts still used the "Nanka" design, their armor and speed were not satisfactory, but dreadnoughts were dreadnoughts, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of pre-dreadnoughts.

In addition, the US Navy came up with a new "dreadnought" design, but the power problem was still not solved, and the speed was only increased from 19 knots to 21 knots, but the armor was much thicker. The Americans' technical level was not high, but they had money and a lot of steel production. It was not difficult to add a few more steam turbines and thicken the armor.

The "dreadnought" thus obtained can be described as stupid, big and clumsy, but stupid, big and clumsy also has its advantages, it is thick and hard enough, and is completely sufficient for offshore defense. The Americans may not have the idea of returning to the Pacific Ocean for the time being, but just want to gain the advantage of offshore defense, but the speed at which they build the navy is too scary. In one year, there are two dreadnoughts, and there are three more on the slipway. By next year, there will be five, and the year after that, there will be eight. At this speed, in just four years, the strength of the US Navy will be far superior to that of the Japanese Navy.

The second Japanese dreadnought had just been launched, and the keel of the third was still being laid, while the third American dreadnought was about to be launched. Compared with the United States, Japan's shipbuilding speed was far behind. If heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers were all included, Japan's shipbuilding speed was less than one-third of that of the United States...

The speed at which the United States rebuilds its navy has shocked the Japanese. Some people were upset about the transfer of Hawaii to Britain before, but after discovering the speed at which the Americans build warships, no one is surprised anymore. In five years at most, and three years at least, the U.S. Navy will regain its absolute advantage over Japan and even the entire East Asia. How will Japan deal with it then?

The Chinese government can abandon those islands in the Pacific, but Japan cannot. If the navy is defeated by the Americans, the other side does not need to land and fight, but only needs to cut off the shipping routes to set Japan back 20 years.

"We need to build the 88 Fleet!"

The Navy Department re-proposed the "88 Fleet" plan, which is to use "8 dreadnoughts + 8 cutting-edge cruisers" as the core of the fleet, so that even if the United States has 12 dreadnoughts, Japan will be able to protect itself. Or build a "super dreadnought" as soon as possible, then there will be no need for eight dreadnoughts.

But the biggest problem for both the "88 Fleet" and the "Super Dreadnought" is that they have no money. Having money is only temporary, but being poor is eternal. Because of the markets of countries such as China, North Korea and the Philippines, Japan has developed rapidly, with fiscal revenue more than doubling and steel production increasing fourfold, which is considered to be a very good development. However, Japan's starting point is too low, and steel production has increased fourfold, but it has only reached 600,000 tons/year.

The weight of a dreadnought was over 16,000 tons, and a super dreadnought was 35,000 tons. Japan not only had no money, but also insufficient steel production. In order to cope with the threat from the United States, the Japanese government proposed to China that China provide Japan with more funds and steel, change the construction of a dreadnought from every two years to one per year, and speed up the construction of the "super dreadnought".

This proposal was of course splendidly ignored. It was agreed that China would develop the army and Japan would develop the navy. Now that Japan can no longer bear it, China will not give the Japanese steel and funds to build battleships. Can't China build them by itself? Even if it has no experience in building battleships, can't it buy them from Germany or Britain?

Chapter 508: Alliance

"If we want to launch an attack, we must have 70% of the tonnage of the US battleships."

Akiyama Saneyuki looked very tired and had lost a lot of weight. The two naval battles had tormented him so much that he was exhausted and died after the war.

He fell seriously ill and almost died. He knew that he could no longer lead the army, so he submitted his resignation to the cabinet again, but was rejected by Ito Hirobumi again. If he could not lead the army to fight, he could still play a role in the Navy. Ito Hirobumi needed Akiyama Saneyuki, just like he needed Torio Kotaro and others.

"If we take a defensive approach, we only need 50% of the tonnage of the US battleships. The problem is that the US Navy's strength is growing at an alarming rate. In a few years, our battleships will be less than half of the US's."
