Chapter Thirteen: Sowing Seeds in Hawaii (Part One)

  Next, Zhou Yu and Zhang Long trained together and taught them how to scientifically and flexibly use the Mauser 98.

  Tell them to train hard and sweat more in peacetime so that they will bleed less in wartime. Let's carry forward the spirit of fearing hardship and fearing tiredness.

  Zhou Yu told them to unite and help each other, to unconditionally believe in their comrades, and that in the army there is only mutual competition but no mutual betrayal. If anyone is found out, they will be severely punished without mercy.

  You have joined the Zhongyong Army, this big family, not just to make a living, but for the rise of the Chinese nation. You are here for the future happiness of 450 million compatriots, and you are here to dedicate yourself to the country. Can you do it?

  Zhang Long and others sang loudly, Principal we must be able to do it, wolf smoke rises Jiangshan North looks at the dragon rising and rolling horse neighs sword energy like frost heart like Yellow River water vast... The soldiers continued to sing the song of loyalty and patriotism.

  After the event, Zhou Yu discovered a problem that the uniforms of the troops had not been unified. This situation could only be blamed on himself, because he had been busy with experiments recently and hadn't come to the grassroots level of the troops, and had also forgotten about these issues. He still lacked talent! Zhou Yu felt a sense of regret.

  It would be great if there was someone beside me to remind me, but I still have to speed up the development of personnel. Otherwise, I'll exhaust myself and still can't get everything done.

  Zhou Yuli immediately returned to his residence in the shipyard and began drawing designs for future military camouflage uniforms, army uniforms, navy uniforms, etc. After finishing, he sent the materials to Chen Fang, asking him to open a garment workshop in the textile factory, specializing in producing military uniforms and camouflage clothing to meet the needs of the troops.

  Just as he had let out a sigh of relief upon returning home, Tian Ergou rushed into the room to report: There is an urgent telegram from Vietnam.

  Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, could it be that France is now launching an attack on Hanoi, Vietnam? Impossible! Everything he had discovered before was in line with historical developments, how could there be changes now?

  He picked up the telegram and took a look. It turned out that the Vietnamese Trung Uong Army had discovered two deserters who had secretly taken away two Mauser 98 rifles while on duty.

  With 30 or so bullets, both people and guns have been recovered. Liu Yongfu asked Zhou Yu how to deal with this matter?

  Zhou Yu realized that after the expansion of the team, there were loopholes in management. He frowned and asked Tian Ergou: "Did General Liu say what kind of force sent these people?"

  Liu said: After they were interrogated, it was found that they were ordinary social personnel and had no special organizational background.

  You two dogs, you're finished! Once such incidents are discovered, severe punishment will be meted out without pardon, and immediate execution by firing squad.

  In addition, the ideological and political work in peacetime must be grasped tightly, all troop affairs must be based on the military outline, discipline must be strict, and anyone who violates it will not be tolerated.

  It is necessary to strengthen the ideological and moral education of the troops. Liu Yongfu must conduct strict political scrutiny on all personnel who want to join the Zhongyong Army in the future, eliminate those with impure motives from joining, and remove them from the circle of the Zhongyong Army to maintain its purity.

  At the same time, you can also inform Zhang Long and others about the content, and you can stay in the troops yourself! Help Zhang Long and others to grasp the discipline of the troops.

  Tian Ergou's face turned red with excitement as he argued: "Principal, you don't want me anymore? I won't go, I'll protect the principal!"

  Zhou Yu was amused by him and couldn't help but chuckle, his mood also improved. Then he seriously asked Tian Ergou: Do you think there's anyone who can harm me?

  You're not even worthy of being a guard, can you do it for the rest of your life? I want you to go to the troops and train hard, remember to make something of yourself, otherwise don't come see me again!

  "Alright! Principal! Tian Ergou replied weakly."

  Speak louder, I can't hear you, Zhou Yu shouted at him;

  Tian Ergou was taken aback, then loudly reported: Report to the principal, I know! I guarantee to complete the task!

  This is almost enough, go now! Zhou Yu's face was stern.

  Tian Ergou turned around and walked away with his eyes red and swollen.

  Looking at Tian Ergou's lonely back, Zhou Yu's heart didn't feel good either. Originally in the future, he had no relatives or friends. After coming to this time and space, Tian Ergou was the first person who truly cared about Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu always treated him like family and a friend with whom he could discuss anything.

  But he knew that he couldn't let his personal interests hold back Tian Ergou's development, and that only through trials of blood and fire could Tian Ergou truly mature, so he had to send Tian Ergou to the troops for training.

  In Hawaii, Laval and the research team led by Wei Han finally developed a 5-horsepower single-stage impulse turbine and an 8-horsepower single-stage reaction turbine on March 22, 1881. The expansion nozzle was also successfully developed.

  Prior to this, steel mills also used the alkaline open-hearth method to smelt steel, successfully producing iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content of less than 2%.

  Everyone was overjoyed, and China also had leading world-class technology. Then Zhou Yu issued the project of multi-stage steam turbine and steam turbine unit, and drew them a blueprint and relevant technical data.

  And asked them to apply for international patents as soon as possible. Moreover, a considerable amount of bonus was issued to each member of the research group. This further motivated the workers' enthusiasm and creativity.

  By April 1, Zhou Yu's factory had also taken shape, with over 1,200 iron and steel workers, more than 3,000 shipyard workers and technicians from other factories, and countless technical trainees.

  Each base has accumulated a total of 62,000 regular soldiers. Zhou Yu promoted Liu Yongfu to Major General and the others also received corresponding promotions.

  He pulled out his spare time, Zhou Yu brought himself to write out various books of later generations, and walked into the school he opened in Hawaii, where there were already many Chinese students.

  When those Huaxia students found out that Zhou Yu was the one who had provided them with free learning opportunities, their attitude towards him became even more enthusiastic and respectful.

  In the classroom, Zhou Yu told them that science is the primary productive force, requiring them to learn scientific and cultural knowledge with a pragmatic attitude, to calm down and study diligently, striving to become a useful pillar of the Chinese nation. He also required them to carry forward the spirit of hard work and innovation, dare to experiment, be brave in innovation, and not be bound by old frameworks.

  The students in Hawaii, after listening to Zhou Yu's words, all sprouted unusual learning spirit and creative spirit, accumulating a large number of talented people for the future Chinese scientific community.

  They had many people who were active in the later stages of China's scientific development, contributing greatly to China's scientific progress and various undertakings. Among them was Sun Diyang, a future great man who was studying at Oahu College in Hawaii.

  When it comes to Sun Emperor Xiang, many people may not know who he is, but if you mention Sun Zhongshan, I'm sure everyone is quite familiar with him.

  At this time, Sun Yat-sen was sent to the Oahu College by his brother Sun Mei, but he was not interested in the school's teachers teaching all classes in English.

  He heard that there was a Chinese school where he could study for free and also offered various subjects that were not available in the Orang Asli schools.

  So he secretly ran to sign up, and during the class, he found that the teachers here not only taught English but also Chinese, and the teaching method was relatively relaxed, and he learned a lot.

  So he discussed with his brother and requested to attend classes at the school founded by Zhou Yu, after examination his brother Sun Mei also agreed to his request. Now Sun Yat-sen is a registered student of Zhou Yu's University School.

  When Zhou Yu found out he was Sun Yat-sen, he was also shocked. This is a great man of later generations! The pioneer of modern China's democratic revolution!

  Because it was Zhou Yu's first time teaching at the Hawaii Academy, there were more people coming to listen. So Zhou Yu decided to hold an outdoor public class. At that time, students from primary school, middle school and university, as well as most of the invited teachers from various departments, all came to the playground to attend Zhou Yu's public class.

  Zhou Yu's opening remarks are very interesting, everyone, gentlemen, hello, you're all better than me!

  Maybe everyone will wonder why I said; everyone is better than me?

  Because everyone has had the opportunity to quietly listen to my nonsense, and I'll be talking a lot later, but I'm thirsty and there's no water to drink! So, everyone is better than me! Do you think so? (Hahaha, a burst of kind laughter)

  Alright, now let's get back on track. Everyone present is here with a practical and truthful attitude towards learning and teaching, so I won't say more.

  First of all! Let's talk about what is learning. As the Chinese saying goes: "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher." Indeed, each of us here has something to learn from others and aspects that need improvement.

  I used to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, which were mainly dominated by Confucianism. Everyone may feel that they are difficult to learn and understand. Is there a way to make these national treasures easy to learn and understand?

  Here I invented "Punctuation Mark Study", "Chinese Phonetic Alphabet", "Simplified Form of Complex Characters Method", "Xinhua Dictionary" and "Xinhua Vocabulary" five academic works.

  When you have these books, you will find that the knowledge of Huaxia is so simple and easy to understand, clear and fluent, and your learning of Huaxia's knowledge is also endless fun, joyful in itself.

  The guards distributed the books and materials written by Zhou Yu in advance and printed with oil to the crowd.

  Here I'll use Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" as an analogy;

  Ambitious and hungry, I eat Hu barbarian meat and drink Xiongnu blood. I'll start anew, reclaim the old mountains and rivers, and face the heavenly gate.

  We use heroic ambitions to feast on barbarian meat, laugh and talk about the thirst for drinking Xiongnu blood. If you express them with symbols, don't you find that the original text's angry and majestic tone is gone? Wouldn't it be easier to write them using my invented simplified characters? Wouldn't it be better to learn if they were all annotated with Chinese pinyin?

  Sun Yat-sen and others followed Zhou Yu's teaching method, and found that it was indeed endless fun, simple and easy to understand. They all applauded and cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

  Our Chinese nation has a 5,000-year history of culture, leaving behind numerous cultural treasures such as silk, embroidery, porcelain, opera, traditional medicine, and painting. These are the essence of our Chinese culture. Yet some people shamelessly attack our Chinese characters, saying they are inferior to Western alphabets, and also attack the Confucian culture of our ancestors.

  What I want to tell you all is that those so-called cultural celebrities are all yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people. They are sycophantic and worship foreign things from the bone, they are unscrupulous cultural hooligans, and the dregs of the nation. They do not carry forward and glorify the great cultural heritage of their ancestors, but instead distort and misinterpret Confucian thought in a one-sided way.
