African Nationhood

It was already ten days when Shi Jinyong returned to the Stuart inspection team. The leader of the inspection team sent the representatives of the inspection team their intention to introduce industries.

After watching it, Shi Jinyong found that the industries introduced by these delegations were diverse, and some representatives even planned to imitate the taxi industry in Germany.

However, the cost of taxis is too high, tens of thousands of yuan per car, and if the scale of the taxi company is too small, the profit cycle will be lengthened.

However, this kind of industry is also worth promoting. For example, many people in foreign consulates need taxis to travel.

After all, cars are faster than horse-drawn carriages, and cars don’t have to worry about feeding problems, and the failure rate is low.

Shi Jinyong believes that this industry is still worthy of development, but Nanhua's current automobile production capacity is too low, less than 500 vehicles a year, which is far from meeting domestic demand.

Moreover, domestic demand for official vehicles is very strong, and developing the taxi industry can alleviate this pain point.

……

After Shi Jinyong read the expression of interest, he ordered the team leader to arrange a symposium.

The venue for the symposium was the employee canteen of Mercedes-Benz. Everyone sat together, waiting for the arrival of Vice Premier Shi.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a kind face and a smile came in.

Everyone immediately recognized that this was Vice Premier Shi, and everyone applauded.

Shi Jinyong waved to everyone, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down. This symposium is mainly to talk with you about the experience of this inspection."

As soon as the representatives of the inspection team heard what Vice Premier Shi said, they immediately became nervous. The exam was really coming.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down."

Following Shi Jinyong's words, the representatives took their seats.

"Okay, this inspection is basically over. I want to ask everyone how they gained. I also want to talk to you about the introduction of industrial projects. Is there anyone who has volunteered? Let me share your feelings first."

Wang Xiaohai looked around and saw that everyone was bowing their heads and not daring to raise their heads. He immediately felt a surge of courage and raised his hand bravely.

"Oh, this representative would like to say first, okay, you can come. Everyone is welcome."

Shi Jinyong took the lead in applauding, and everyone below naturally followed suit.

Wang Xiaohai was focused by many eyes, and a strong and strange feeling immediately arose in his body. This feeling was so violent for the first time in decades, making his heart beat faster and his breathing become short.

"Hello Vice Premier Shi, I am Wang Xiaohai from the hot spring city in the Namib region. What I feel most deeply during this visit is that the Germans have very strict rules and do not know how to adapt. What they determine must be strict to the end.

At the same time, their people are also dull, their customs are outdated, and they lack vitality. "

Shi Jinyong nodded, "Well, your observation is very careful, the Germans are indeed very 'axis'.

It is because of their axes that their country has the confidence to compete with Britain and France in just a few decades. This spirit is worth learning from. "

Wang Xiaohai smiled and agreed, "Yes, you are right, I will also learn from their 'axis' strength in the future."

Shi Jinyong chuckled, "This is not easy to learn. National character cannot be learned overnight.

Our Chinese national character is fundamentally different from theirs. We cannot imitate others and we cannot belittle ourselves.

As long as we strengthen our beliefs and strive for development and progress.

One day we will stand proudly on top of the world again and let the whole world look up to us Chinese. "

Vice Premier Shi's words were very candid, and everyone agreed with them. When they were in the Qing Dynasty, they were ignorant and backward, had neither enough food nor clothing, so they naturally had no time to think about these things.

Things are different now. They have become South Chinese and have long since broken away from the low-level survival needs of food and clothing. They yearn for higher needs.

The feeling of being respected is what they urgently need at the moment. Only those who have experienced being ignored and trampled can understand how good it feels to be respected.

When they walk on the streets of Europe, they are obviously dressed the same as them or even better, but they are still inevitably criticized and looked down upon by white people.

..."Okay, representative, please sit down first. Is there anyone else you want to speak?"

With Wang Xiaohai taking the lead, everyone relaxed and more and more people spoke.

But most of what people talked about were some words they heard during the visit, such as location advantage, water and land linkage, etc. Some people pointed out that although Germany is rich, there are many beggars here and many workers are in poverty.

Shi Jinyong was pleased with everyone's careful observation. After listening to everyone's speeches, he made comments and summary:

“Everyone’s impressions are very good and they are very careful.

Yes, the Germans were the first to find the secret to industrialized clusters, which allowed them to develop rapidly.

But we also have to see that Germany is still very different from our South China counterparts.

The first one is the size of the country. Compared with our South China, Germany's land area is much smaller.

Therefore, by developing the economy of this small regional center, they can quickly develop and accumulate national strength.

However, there is a bottleneck in the development of their model. In order to break the bottleneck, they must continue to seize land in other places and form colonies.

Then by controlling the human and mineral resources of the colony to support the development of the local area, this model is a blood-sucking model.

The people in the colonies suffered and starved to support the white masters in Europe, making them rich, well-fed, wild and arrogant.

Have you ever thought of your situation when you were in the Qing Dynasty?
Yes, that's it. The Qing Dynasty is no longer a 'Celestial Kingdom', and has long been reduced to a colony of European and American powers.

White people in Europe and the United States often say that they pursue 'equality and fraternity', but when we visited and inspected here, we also saw that there are still many poor people in Germany, and they are still struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing.

What these white people say is high-sounding, but it cannot hide their greedy nature.

Not only did they enslave and abuse the people in the colonies, they also wantonly exploited their own citizens.

They told outsiders that the Qing Dynasty was oppressed by foreign powers because it was too backward, but the reality is that they are simply a group of greedy villains.

If they were not greedy, why would they go all the way to bombard the Qing Dynasty with huge ships and cannons?
All of us were forced to leave our homes and go to South China because of the oppression and plunder of these foreign powers.

If it hadn't been for Chairman Shi, how miserable would our lives have been?

Have you ever thought about it?
Therefore, everyone should open their eyes to see clearly the hypocritical faces of European and American white people and recognize their true nature.

Before we went to war with the British, we also experienced blood-sucking from the British every day.

It’s just that Chairman Shi stood in front of everyone. He shielded everyone from external pressure and endured the oppression and humiliation of the British with humiliation.

However, even as Chairman Shi endured the humiliation and shouldered the heavy burden, he still secretly accumulated national strength and developed high-tech weapons. He finally defeated the British and gained the right to self-government.

Thanks to Chairman Shi’s wise leadership and everyone’s hard work, we can proudly carry out inspection visits to Germany in front of white people.

But don’t relax, our country is still very poor and weak. We can defeat the British once, but we cannot win every time.

If one day we are defeated by white Europeans again, then we or our descendants will have to go through it again. Can everyone accept the humiliation we all suffered in the Qing Dynasty? "

These words made the Chinese representatives present feel excited and excited.

"No, no, we can't!"

"Okay, it's great that everyone has such determination and blood. We can't just care about the small personal honor and disgrace and forget the great honor and disgrace of the country. Otherwise, how can we have the face to face Chairman Shi?

The powerful European countries have many things ahead of us, so when we come here this time we not only want to learn from their advanced experience, but also buy back all their good technologies and machines. Only by learning and mastering can we develop our national strength and let more people people live a prosperous life.

Only then will we be able to fight back bravely without any fear when the European powers come knocking on our doorstep. Do you think I am right? "

All the representatives were encouraged by Vice Premier Shi at this moment. They raised their hands and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing everyone's emotions rising, Shi Jinyong smiled and said, "Okay, now that we've talked about the fictitious, let's talk about the real things. What kind of industries should we bring back to better fill the domestic industrial gaps." ( End of this chapter)
