The Heroic Age of the Late Qing Dynasty

The entire camp had been completely destroyed by the bomb.

“!Beep~beep~beep…”

Liu Wenxiu naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity to attack, and he immediately blew the charge. When the soldiers heard the charge, they immediately jumped out of their positions and launched an attack with their guns. At this time, the ground on the old Russian side that was bombarded was completely unrecognizable.

The huge crater was full of the remains of the Russians. Many soldiers vomited directly after seeing this tragic scene. The remaining Russians had no idea what was going on.

They lost their fighting spirit, knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender. Many Russians were so scared at this time that they did not react at all when they saw the soldiers.

Seeing this battlefield, Liu Wenxiu immediately knew that the Russian encirclement and suppression campaign had come to an end. If the Russian army dared to attack again, it would be a loss. If the Russians continued the encirclement and suppression, then they would have to taste the power of their own artillery.

As expected, upon learning that the Wujiabaozi militia had raided Anshan County, plundered its supplies, and quickly wiped out a reinforced Russian regiment, the Russians, who had been suppressing bandits throughout the region, immediately withdrew. From then on, the Russian army's rampage through Northeast China, operating in battalion- and regiment-based units, was a thing of the past. Future operations would have to be conducted in divisional and brigade units, otherwise they would face catastrophic destruction at any moment.

Soon after Liu Wenxiu and his men returned to the now-ruinous Wujiabaozi, Lian Chengjue and his men also returned, immediately beginning reconstruction work. Having experienced a massive enemy encirclement and suppression campaign, the soldiers were tempered. Lian Chengjue and his men were particularly hardened, having to constantly battle the encircling Russians, delaying their advance and buying more time for the evacuation of the masses. At this moment, the soldiers naturally exuded a fierce aura.

Chapter 287: Thanks for the update!

Lian Chengjue returned to Wujiabaozi, and the Party Committee immediately convened a meeting. This time, Lian Chengjue and Liu Wenxiu had much to learn from the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. If they didn't quickly summarize the experience and lessons, the next time they faced an enemy attack, the losses would still be heavy.

Lian Chengjue saw that everyone was present and spoke, "Okay, let's begin the meeting now to summarize the experiences and lessons learned from this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. Although we achieved a final victory, we also exposed many shortcomings. Therefore, we will not discuss our achievements at this meeting. Instead, we must immediately prepare for the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. We must be prepared for any eventuality."

Liu Wenxiu also said: "I agree with this opinion. We must proceed from the reality of the Northeast and adjust the previous policies. The Chairman has always said that we should seek truth from facts and analyze specific issues specifically. The Northeast is different from Sichuan. Many things need to be changed, such as the militia, defense measures, etc...."

...We found that villages with tunnels suffered less losses than those without, and villages with a complete tunnel system were able to eliminate more enemies than villages with only a few simple tunnels..."

...The more militias there are and the better they are trained, the less damage a village will suffer. A village without militias will suffer enormous losses..."

-…-""

Zhang Yinghao was unaware that, after a meeting, the comrades in Northeast China had begun to explore new ideas, such as digging tunnels, strengthening the militia, and arming more people. They were gradually breaking free from the constraints imposed by the Sichuan Liberated Area and embarking on a new path they had explored based on the realities of Northeast China. Of course, if Zhang Yinghao knew about this, he would only be pleased, as it showed that the soldiers had grown.

Zhang Yinghao had just finished his lecture and sat down to rest when a telegram arrived from Wanxian, stating that a group of overseas Chinese wanted to meet him. The message specifically mentioned Huang Sande and Situ Meitang. Zhang Yinghao knew Huang Sande, and Chen Yiwei had even mentioned that they had received significant assistance from him and his colleagues in the United States. As for Situ Meitang, Zhang Yinghao still remembered him from his past life, simply because his name was pleasant and memorable. Of course, Zhang Yinghao also knew that Situ Meitang had made significant contributions to the War of Resistance.

However, it had been almost three years since his revolution, and after he occupied Chengdu, his reputation had spread far and wide, so it wasn't a short time at all. Zhang Yinghao didn't believe these people had only recently heard of him. If these overseas Chinese wanted to see him, they should have come a long time ago. For so long, only a few overseas Chinese students had been invited by Chen Yiwei and his team, and there had been no news of other overseas Chinese. Of course, Zhang Yinghao couldn't complain. After all, the overseas Chinese in the United States had provided them with considerable help. Or perhaps Zhang Yinghao himself didn't know that many overseas Chinese had actually come, but he just didn't know about it. Now, Zhang Yinghao couldn't care less about these matters. Everything was handled by the relevant departments.

But their presence proved Sichuan's revolutionary influence to be growing. Zhang Yinghao also wanted to know what his image was like overseas, so he decided to meet them. He sent a telegram requesting the Wanxian comrades to arrange for them to come to Chengdu. He then requested information on Huang Sande and Situ Meitang from the Intelligence Bureau and began to review it.

Huang Sande and Situ Meitang's trip from the United States to Sichuan was a tribute to Sun Zhongshan's discussion of Sichuan, though Sun's tone was not particularly favorable. In Sun's words, Sichuan was ostensibly a revolutionary party, but in reality, it was seeking fame and reputation, exercising a rule even more brutal than that of the Qing Dynasty. Most importantly, Sichuan was desperately trying to offend the foreign powers, and its rule would not last long.

Zhang Yinghao didn't know whether Sun Zhongshan had come to Sichuan. Even if he had, he would have been assigned to work at the grassroots level. Zhang Yinghao's policy was always to put himself first, and he wouldn't allow anyone who wanted to use Sichuan to make money.

Sichuan's rejection of secret societies is well known. All "heroes" have a negative impression of Sichuan, given how many of these "heroes" Sichuan has killed. As the saying goes, "hearing both sides leads to enlightenment, while hearing only one side leads to ignorance." Anyone who hears too much negative talk about Sichuan will not have a favorable impression of the province.

Huang Sande and Situ Meitang, however, didn't care. Having left their homeland and suffered discrimination, the Chinese in North America instinctively believed that only with a strong motherland could they stand tall. In their previous lives, they had donated vast sums of money and supplies to support the revolution, even sending their children abroad. Unfortunately, their trust was in a big gun. Sun Zhongshan squandered their money and ruined their children. As for the big gun's promises? None of them were fulfilled. Of course, these things hadn't happened yet, so Huang Sande and the others naturally didn't know about them.

"I heard that Sichuan is extremely hostile to secret societies. I'm afraid they won't allow the development of our Hongmen!"

"Yes, I also heard that they started a massacre against the Gelaohui and other party organizations, and killed all the bandits."

"I heard that the secret society took advantage of the situation to cause chaos and looting, endangering local peace. These people are ignorant of their own dangers and should be punished. We, the Hongmen, are different from them!"

These incidents sparked widespread discussion among the Chinese community in Sichuan. Huang Sande and Situ Meitang were particularly concerned about Sichuan's attitude toward secret societies. The Hongmen was, after all, a secret society—in essence, a mafia organization. Dog meat was unacceptable at banquets, and the gap between political parties and secret societies could not be rationally calculated.

Huang Sande and Situ Meitang stood on the deck, looking at the surging Yangtze River. They also had doubts, but since they were already there, they could only keep their doubts in their hearts. When they met Zhang Yinghao, their doubts would naturally be answered. For big guys like them who had fought their way up from the bottom, they were very clear about the harm of daydreaming.

The group had already seen the ships coming and going when they passed through the Three Gorges, and knew that Sichuan had a large trade with foreigners. After they entered Chongqing, they were even more surprised by the scene they saw. The entire river was filled with various ships, and Chongqing had become a huge distribution center for goods.

Materials from all over the country are loaded onto ships here, including goods from Shaanxi and Xizang, and then shipped from here to various places.

Other provinces along the Yangtze River also had ships trading, but they were largely spontaneous. Compared to the scene in Sichuan, they pale in comparison. Even Wuhan was similar; Sichuan alone was truly impressive. The normally broad river now seemed overcrowded, forcing Huang Sande and his companions to disembark in Chongqing for a day's rest before rejoining their ship the next day, bound for Chengdu.

When they were in Chongqing, they soon learned that Sichuan was building the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. Huang Sande and his companions knew a lot about Sichuan, but they had only heard about it from hearsay. This was the first time they had truly set foot on the land of Sichuan. Looking at the busy Chongqing, Huang Sande felt a firm belief for the first time.

China will surely become stronger. As long as we have the strong support of China, the miserable fate of overseas Chinese will be rewritten.

As they sailed along the Yangtze River in Sichuan, they saw numerous factories and tall chimneys rising from both sides. They knew that once this large-scale industrial development was completed, it would unleash a powerful force, producing enough goods to completely change the face of China. Such scenes were rarely seen in areas under the jurisdiction of the Qing court.

When these overseas Chinese arrived in Chengdu, many people went to watch the excitement. Zhang Yinghao also got the news and had been thinking about how to treat overseas Chinese. Overseas Chinese are connected to the Chinese by blood, all descendants of Yan and Huang. But should they be loyal to the country they currently live in or to their own nation? This is a difficult question, and it is a must-choice question. This matter is not easy to handle and still depends on the choice of the overseas Chinese themselves.

Zhang Yinghao knew that in later generations, the more ethnically Chinese and overseas Chinese politicians were, the more hostile they were to China. They considered denigrating and condemning China politically correct, as doing otherwise would deny them the approval of mainstream society. Of course, anti-China sentiment is a popular pursuit, and many people make a living by it. Discrimination against overseas Chinese is no less prevalent today than it was in later generations. The Yellow Peril theory fabricated by European countries, the Chinese Exclusion Acts in the United States, and the massacres of overseas Chinese by Southeast Asian colonists all highlight the difficult living conditions of overseas Chinese.

Zhang Yinghao called on Chen Yiwei and Chen Qizhi, two former overseas students, to welcome these overseas Chinese.

Seeing Huang Sande and the others arrive, Chen Yiwei quickly introduced them: "Chairman, this is Mr. Huang Sande. Mr. Huang, this is our chairman Zhang Yinghao."

Huang Sande was only forty at the time, and Situ Meitang was only thirty-six, both in their prime. Furthermore, their youthful status meant they naturally held high positions, and in the presence of a young man like Zhang Yinghao, they naturally looked upon them with scrutiny. They had risen from the bottom of society to become prominent figures, each a rare breed of heroes, truly extraordinary. In his previous life, Zhang Yinghao would have been completely out of reach of figures like Huang Sande and Situ Meitang. But in this life, he only needed to diligently copy the correct answers, and he remained a top student.

Zhang Yinghao was observing Huang Sande and Situ Meitang, who were also observing him. They were shocked by both his youth and his current attitude. Zhang Yinghao, now in charge of two provinces, was already the most powerful figure in China, second only to the Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi.

Zhang Yinghao reached out his hand and shook Huang Sande's. He said, "Mr. Huang Sande, I'm Zhang Yinghao. Thank you for all you've done for us in America and for all the help you've given us. Although you're overseas, your hearts remain unchanged. You're still sons and daughters of China, descendants of Yan and Huang, and fellow countrymen. On behalf of Sichuan, I welcome you!"

"Haha, Chairman Zhang, you're too polite. Let me introduce you. This is Situ Meitang, the leader of our Anliang Hall."

"Haha, hello, Mr. Situ Meitang. They were talking about you before, saying you were a hero who killed the American thugs who bullied us Chinese. I've heard a lot about you."

Zhang Yinghao immediately opened his mouth and told Situ Meitang's story, which really made him feel a little embarrassed. After shaking Zhang Yinghao's hand, he said, "No, no, I was just angry at the time. Chairman Zhang is the real hero. He has achieved such great things at such a young age. I really don't deserve the title of hero. It's a great honor to meet you today."

"I dare not take credit for this. This is not just my achievement, but the credit of all comrades. It's not easy for you overseas. After all, this is not our home turf. Without further ado, please, welcome."

"Chairman Zhang, you are too polite. I apologize for disturbing you by coming here without your permission."

They didn't know how to address Zhang Yinghao either. After asking around on the road, they found out that everyone called Zhang Yinghao Chairman Zhang, so they followed suit.

"No, absolutely not a disturbance. It's a pleasure to have friends from afar, and we couldn't welcome them enough. We've received so much help and support from you in the US, and I've always wanted to thank you in person. You've all been so tired from the journey! We've prepared a welcoming banquet to welcome you all, please!"

"Haha, you're welcome. We're just helping each other. This journey has been truly eye-opening for us. You've built Sichuan so well, and it's a real honor for us overseas. If our motherland declines, our lives overseas will be even more difficult."

"That's a good point. I understand the hardships faced by overseas Chinese. Your fate is closely linked to the strength of our motherland."

Chapter 288:

Zhang Yinghao and Huang Sande walked and talked, and soon arrived at the reception room. After Zhang Yinghao asked them to sit down, he made a cup of tea for each of them and said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Situ, everyone, this is the situation in Sichuan. I hope you don't mind."

Zhang Yinghao has decided to tell the truth this time and tell them the real situation here. The best way to communicate is to avoid any misunderstandings between the two sides.

"No, no. We're content with a cup of hot tea."

Huang Sande pulled out a stack of bills and cash from his briefcase, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Zhang Yinghao, saying, "Chairman Zhang, this is a donation from us overseas Chinese. It's just a token of our appreciation. It's not much, only $80,000 in total. I hope this will be of some help to you."

Zhang Yinghao looked at the bills and cash on the table and fell silent. It would be a lie to say he didn't love money. The money before him was a huge sum in any era, enough to provide a family with food and clothing for a lifetime. Overseas Chinese were truly giving their all to support the revolution, but the cannons had truly let them down!

But if you take something, you will get something back in the future. This is the natural law of fair trade. If you take these donations, you will have to bear the corresponding obligations in the future.

Zhang Yinghao thought for a moment and then said, "Mr. Huang Sande, Mr. Situ Meitang, everyone, we are very short of money here. Since you have brought money, we cannot let you down, so we will accept your donation. However, please do not make similar donations to us in the future. After all, life is not easy for overseas Chinese."

Hearing Zhang Yinghao say this, Huang Sande and the others were confused for a moment as to whether he was being polite or what he meant. Then Zhang Yinghao continued, "Donations, which are only about giving without any return, cannot last long."

Hearing what Zhang Yinghao said, Huang Sande was about to speak, but Zhang Yinghao waved his hand to stop Huang Sande from saying anything, and continued: "Those who only know how to ask for things without paying attention to returns are acting like hooligans. Mr. Huang, Mr. Situ, what our liberated areas need most is not money, but fair trade between materials and equipment through trade. Therefore, our Forward Party does not need the hard-earned money squeezed out of your teeth by overseas Chinese to support our revolution. We also hope that you overseas Chinese can live a better life. Therefore, our revolutionary government wants to establish cooperation with overseas Chinese in trade based on mutual trust.

Our liberated areas will expand in the future, and the Qing Dynasty will be overthrown by us. There will be more and more places to build, and more and more machinery and equipment to import. You can establish trading companies in Europe and the United States to provide employment opportunities for overseas Chinese. We can purchase machinery and equipment through your trading companies and ship them back to China. Purchasing them ourselves would be too restrictive.

Therefore, I hope that overseas Chinese can help the liberated areas in this regard. What we can promise is that the goods we trade will allow the merchants to earn a certain profit. While we may not be able to offer high profits, our Progressive Party will absolutely not let the overseas Chinese who support the revolution suffer losses, nor let you take risks and make sacrifices in vain.

Zhang Fuhao was preparing for a rainy day. Trade with Western countries was indeed subject to numerous restrictions, as Zhang Yinghao had mentioned. However, the restrictions among Western countries were much smaller. If Huang Sande and his team could act as middlemen, Zhang Yinghao wouldn't mind letting them earn a little extra money. Furthermore, he would need to build large-scale hydroelectric and thermal power plants and high-tech factories in the future, requiring a lot of machinery. Rather than letting foreigners profit from these profits, it would be better to leave some for these overseas Chinese.

Such a large-scale purchase of machinery and equipment would undoubtedly attract the attention of the major powers. However, Zhang Yinghao still hoped to conceal the matter for as long as possible, allowing for safe and stable development. The longer the period, the better for him.

Zhang Yinghao had said so much, Huang Sande and Situ Meitang had no choice but to believe it.

Zhang Yinghao is telling the truth. Money, as a man-made product, naturally possesses dual attributes. On the one hand, the emergence and development of money is a "natural historical process." On the other hand, money is the product of human conscious and autonomous action.

Only after establishing his own liberated zone did Zhang Yinghao finally understand that individuals and organizations that needed to make money naturally had to work hard to obtain material wealth. But for Zhang Yinghao now, all the money he printed was his own, and every penny he issued was now paid for by the entire people of Sichuan and Shaanxi. In Zhang Yinghao's eyes, money was just a tool.

He was indeed short of foreign exchange, but it was mainly cash he lacked. Smaller amounts were not a problem, but the money he earned from selling heroin was far greater than the donations from overseas Chinese. Even if Zhang Yinghao had the utmost shamelessness, he couldn't let these overseas Chinese donate their hard-earned money without asking for anything in return. For Zhang Yinghao, only a win-win situation could ensure a lasting partnership.

"no problem."

Huang Sande and Situ Meitang both agreed immediately. For their gangs, establishing such a trading company would not only help the country and establish close ties with Sichuan, but they could also earn a lot of money through entrepot trade and provide jobs for some of their subordinates. Why not? It would also allow them to develop their transportation business, which meant money in every way.

Why did Western countries go to war to open China's doors? It was because they coveted China's vast market. Huang Sande and Situ Meitang were no fools. They knew how much would be needed to develop this massive market once Sichuan developed, even after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. The profits would be substantial.

However, Huang Sande and the others also had some doubts in their hearts. Could this pie-in-the-sky thing really happen? They couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Yinghao was lying to them. Zhang Yinghao was so frank and took the difficulties of overseas Chinese like them into consideration. This person must be either a fool or have some hidden secrets that they didn't know. It was obvious that Zhang Yinghao was able to create such a foundation at such a young age. He was definitely not an easy person to deal with, and naturally he was not a fool. If what Zhang Yinghao said was not a lie to them, then there must be another hidden secret. QQ group 813175933

Zhang Yinghao naturally understood their concerns, so he said bluntly, "We are all yellow people. This is an unchangeable fact. There is a natural barrier between us and those Western white people. They don't want us to develop and become strong. Therefore, we will definitely encounter various blockades after the liberation of the area. You overseas businessmen can provide effective sales and purchasing channels."

Zhang Yinghao had said this much, and there was nothing he didn't understand. Huang Sande immediately promised that they would work out how to conduct trade effectively.

Zhang Yinghao himself immediately analyzed in detail the obstacles to cooperation between the two sides and proposed several methods for establishing transportation lines. However, the Forward Party was located in the interior at that time and had no access to the sea, so many of its ideas could not be realized at this time.

After Zhang Yinghao finished his analysis, he continued, "I hope that you overseas Chinese will become increasingly wealthy, have a growing influence in the local area, and become good partners. Mr. Huang, as you can see, we are short of everything here right now. We still need a lot of machinery and equipment, and we need to buy a lot of machinery and equipment in the United States. So you can also do some research for us. If you have a suitable factory to sell, please talk to our colleagues in the commercial department. We will still need your help in dismantling these machines. We are in a difficult situation in Sichuan, and the wages may not be high. I hope you don't mind."

After a frank conversation with Zhang Yinghao, Huang Sande and his team discovered that Zhang Yinghao was completely different from the rumors. He did not oppose foreign goods entering China, nor did he oppose foreigners coming to China to trade. However, they were clear that foreign trade must be based on the trade framework designed by Zhang Yinghao and his team.

Zhang Yinghao certainly doesn't oppose trade, but trade can't be like the current trade where the great powers control national customs. It must be a trade where the country makes its own decisions and sets its own tariffs. Later China truly developed through global trade. In the end, it was China that took up the banner of globalization and advocated for it. Because trade can bring enough dividends to China, such a big country as China is like a big homebody, self-sufficient at home and can survive well. As long as complete unification is achieved, in fact, the last thing it fears is a trade war. Who is afraid of who!

So after listening to Zhang Yinghao's story, Huang Sande immediately replied: "Haha, no problem. It's mutually beneficial."

Huang Sande naturally didn't come to Sichuan for tourism. Zhang Yinghao solved his own problem and asked directly: "I wonder if Mr. Huang Sande and Mr. Situ Meitang have come all the way to Sichuan. Is there anything we can help you with?"

Since Zhang Yinghao was so straightforward, Huang Sande and the others naturally stopped hiding it and said directly: "Chairman Zhang, we are actually here to find a backer. I believe you also know that we overseas Chinese have been bullied in foreign countries. Even when the United States introduced the Chinese Exclusion Act, it was still a good thing. For hundreds of years in Southeast Asia, those Western powers have treated the local Chinese as pigs and regarded the Chinese as fat meat. After fattening up a group, they killed a group. The hard work of the Chinese people and the hard-earned money they earned ultimately benefited the colonizers. So we hope that the motherland can become strong so that it can support us wanderers."

After hearing this, Zhang Yinghao said: "Mr. Huang Sande, we progressives disdain to tell lies and do not hide our views. I can also tell you frankly that it will take at least several decades for the motherland to become strong. Of course, even after several decades, when the motherland becomes strong, the overseas Chinese who are bullied will be

Negative, just like a country as powerful as the United States introduced the Chinese Exclusion Act, can we still send troops to force the United States to surrender... "

Hearing Zhang Yinghao's words, Huang Sande said anxiously: "Are we overseas Chinese going to be oppressed by foreign countries forever?"

Zhang Yinghao said directly: "Of course not. We say that when you go abroad, ask about the taboos and when you go there, follow the local customs. Many of you overseas Chinese have lived in those places for generations or even hundreds of years. Do you think you are Chinese?

Are you from your country or region? Are you loyal to China or your country or region? Just like you are now, working in the United States and creating for the United States.

If you think you are an American, then you should fight the Americans. If you want to rely on foreign countries to deal with your own

It is a big problem for people in their own country to improve their living environment. If you feel that you are Chinese and that you can no longer stay in the United States, you are now

If you still have the option of returning to the embrace of our motherland, we welcome you now. Of course, as descendants of the Yellow Emperor, we are all connected by blood, so we are naturally willing to provide any help we can."

Huang Sande and the others were immediately speechless when Zhang Yinghao asked them whether they were Chinese or American. Many people are actually quite confused. They've lived in the United States for years but don't want to admit they're American, or perhaps they haven't become American at all. But if they were asked to return to China, they'd be nostalgic for the prosperity of the United States and wouldn't want to return, simply viewing China as their last resort.

"Well... Chairman Zhang, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Yinghao didn't directly answer their questions. Instead, he asked, "Why do so many Chinese choose to work as laundry workers? Why are there so many feuds among your clans?"

"why?"

Chapter 289:

"Because you haven't yet entered mainstream American society, you chose laundry work, a job considered women's, to avoid competing with American men for jobs. You formed organizations like the Zhi Gong Tang (Chinese People's Propaganda Hall) to unite and protect yourself from bullying and humiliation by white people. The fierce fighting among your gangs is undoubtedly the result of the United States' gradual strengthening of discrimination, oppression, and marginalization of Chinese people in legal, political, economic, and judicial fields. But it's also the result of Chinese people's fear of fighting white people. Chinese people have always felt psychologically vulnerable to white Americans because you believed their propaganda, believing that you are not actually American, and that you have taken American jobs. So you turned yourselves into hedgehogs, killing each other to prevent white people from looking down on you and oppressing you too much. Through gang fighting, you let white people know you are powerful and thus protect yourselves. But in reality, gangs are just toys of Americans. They don't want you to unite. Your gangs fight each other to the death, but it is white Americans who are truly manipulating all this behind the scenes."

After hearing what Zhang Yinghao said, they wanted to refute him, but for a moment they didn't know where to begin. In fact, the Chinese of this era were very similar to those marginalized urbanites of later generations. They had moved to the city, but they knew they were not city dwellers; their roots remained in the countryside. Yet, if they were asked to return to the backward countryside, they would be reluctant, still clinging to the city.

Zhang Yinghao ignored their complicated thoughts and continued, "So, let me give you a few suggestions. See if they're feasible."

When Huang Sande and Situ Meitang heard Zhang Yinghao's solution to the problem, they became excited and immediately listened attentively.

"Your gang must reorganize itself, establish a political party in the modern sense, publish its own leadership, build its own propaganda machine, and openly and directly fight against the white world in the United States.

The second is to establish the broadest united front. If you set up a political party, our Progress Party will be your natural ally in the united front. You should also take the initiative to contact the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, the overseas Chinese in Europe, and the vast number of people in the United States who sympathize with and support the Chinese to fight together and fight for the rights that you deserve.

The third is that the economic base determines the superstructure. We overthrew the Qing Dynasty.

In the end, you can become the link and lubricant between China and the United States, and the company you set up can earn you enough money. The United States is a capitalist country.

Whether you make money or not, ask where it comes from. Money radiates a warm glow. If you want to enter the upper class and mainstream American society, you must allow more Chinese and overseas Chinese to make more money, and allow more Americans to work under you and rely on you for their livelihoods."

Huang Sande asked directly after hearing this: "Can't I form a political party in my country and then change American policy?"

"Mr. Huang Sande, imagination is beautiful. But in this tool of the state

Before it disappears, your idea of ​​world peace is taken for granted. What policies the Americans introduce are in line with the interests of the United States? They introduced anti-Chinese policies.

It's because they don't consider Chinese people to be Americans, but this policy is in the interests of the United States. If you still want to influence American policy through foreign forces and make Americans respect you, that's wishful thinking."

Situ Meitang had only studied privately for four years, and Huang Sande had only studied for three. Neither of them had a high level of education. After hearing what Zhang Yinghao said, they immediately frowned and asked, "What's the logic behind this?"

Zhang Yinghao also wanted to let them know the plight of the Chinese, so he said directly: "Mr. Situ Meitang, Mr. Huang Sande, everyone. There is actually only one truth here. Country, ethnicity, and skin color are actually different concepts. Your thinking is wrong. The country is a tool of class rule. Using foreign political parties to influence domestic policies is not something that the Americans would approve of, and our Progress Party will not approve of it either. Now you Chinese in the United States cannot integrate into American society, but in fact you cannot still say that you are Chinese. So you are caught in the middle and are particularly uncomfortable, unable to advance or retreat.

That's why you particularly identify with the concept of "descendants of Yan and Huang," because it doesn't prevent Chinese people from becoming foreigners, and it also allows you to gain the recognition of our people. This is because it's a bond of blood, a connection that can't be severed. Furthermore, even after our country becomes strong and we negotiate with the United States to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act and other overt measures, can the hidden things be changed? Can your skin color be changed?

So my advice remains unchanged. First, Chinese and overseas Chinese must unite and fight against the white American world to gain acceptance in American society. You should lobby the US Congress to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act as much as possible. Of course, we will also cooperate with your actions as much as possible. Only by fighting from within can you gain the rights you want.

"So, if Chinese people want to be respected, we still have to rely on ourselves?" Zhang Yinghao could only say earnestly, "Of course, we need to consider both internal and external factors. With a strong motherland supporting you, foreigners won't dare to overturn the table or engage in wanton massacres. More importantly, you must unite internally and fight a hard battle against white Americans. However, victory depends solely on internal factors; external factors can only change the speed, scope, and number. Only what you fight for, not what is given to you, is your right. Therefore, the rhetoric that the situation of overseas Chinese will naturally improve by overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing a strong country is wrong."

At this time, Zhang Yinghao naturally wanted to give Sun Zhongshan some advice. As for whether it would work, it depended on whether Huang Sande and the others listened to it.

Zhang Yinghao continued, "Everyone, I have another complete solution here, and this is what we have been doing. Since the United States discriminates against Chinese people and life overseas is difficult, why not return to the embrace of the motherland? Sichuan and Shaanxi are now in great need of talents for industrial construction, and the booming industry can provide enough jobs. As long as overseas Chinese can return to China to participate in the construction of the country, we will do our best to resettle them.

When we overthrow the Qing Dynasty and embark on national reconstruction, we will need a vast number of talented people. As long as overseas Chinese have a skill, they can definitely be put to good use upon returning to China. Of course, our current standard of living may not be as high as that of the United States, but I believe China has great potential and a bright future.

While this is unrealistic, Zhang Yinghao truly hopes that all overseas Chinese can return to China. America's strength in later generations stems from immigrants, with World Wars I and II providing the US with a vast supply of scientific researchers. And what happens now? At least one in ten American scientists is of Chinese descent. And of the world's top 100 materials scientists, the top six are Chinese. This isn't a good thing, and Zhang Yinghao naturally hopes that the number of overseas Chinese is as small as possible, allowing them to contribute their intellectual talents back to their home countries.

Huang Sande and his colleagues were also involved in Zhang Yinghao's desperate efforts to recruit talent from overseas. However, Huang Sande honestly said again: "Chairman, many people have lived in the United States for two or three generations and have already taken root. It may be difficult for them to return to China."
