Dominate the Country

"Liu Ganzi, why don't you want to join the expeditionary army?"

In the regimental headquarters of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Guards Division, the deputy commander Pan Chang stared at the tall man in front of him, and his whole body exuded a strong aura of wanting to take action. If it weren't for the strict rules in the army that senior officers could not hit people casually, Pan Chang really wanted to give this outstanding officer in the regiment in front of him a good beating.

The raging flames rolled in Pan Chang's chest. He was now a human volcano, and it was possible that he would burst out at the next moment.

Liu Ganzi stood straight, although Pan Chang's aura made him a little uncomfortable, like a sharp knife directly in front of him. Liu Ganzi's name is Liu Changshan. Because he is tall, thin, and has a long character in his name, he was nicknamed this by the army. But Liu Changshan graduated from Lushan Military Academy and has been performing well since he entered the army for internship. He made four jumps from platoon leader to deputy captain and then to battalion deputy, all of which were under Pan Chang. He can be said to be Pan Chang's old subordinate and cultivated by Pan Chang. Although in terms of age, Pan Chang is only one year older than Liu Changshan.

But one is the deputy regiment commander of the left lieutenant, and the other is the deputy battalion commander of the sergeant. This is the difference between joining the army early and joining the army late.

"Report to the commander, I want to retire."

Liu Changshan's face flushed a little, but he still firmly expressed his wish. Because he knew the character of his old superior Pan Chang, compared with some things that were against him, Pan Chang despised those who dared to do but not to take responsibility.

After Liu Changshan didn't want to retire, he was even driven out of the door of his old commander's house.

"Fuck your mother." Pan Chang slapped the table hard, his emotions suddenly exploded, and his eyes really spewed sparks, and the heat made Liu Changshan feel that he was about to melt.

Half an hour later, Liu Changshan walked out of the regiment with a gloomy face. His steps were three points reluctant and seven points relaxed. In the office, Pan Chang was sad. He really didn't expect that a good seedling that he was very optimistic about would now think about retiring and was unwilling to fight to death in the army.

"You are a deserter."

But no matter how harsh the rebuke was, Liu Changshan's heart to leave could not be saved.

The Liu family now has land, property and money. His wife, children and parents don't want Liu Changshan to continue working in the army.

Unlike the time-space rabbit who took the initiative to reduce the army many times, the Chinese National Defense Army, which is experiencing the pain, now has many people who have taken the initiative to apply for retirement.

Many officers like Pan Chang don't understand why this trend of thought has arisen, but they can't stop the development of this phenomenon.

Just when Pan Chang was depressed because of the "betrayal" of his beloved general, Huang Dingyou, who had been drifting in Southeast Asia for a long time, also set foot on the dock in Shanghai.

Just one step from the boat to the bottom, Huang Dingyou felt that the sky suddenly became bright and the air suddenly became fresh.

This is the change in mood when a wanderer who has been wandering for many years returns to his hometown.

Huang Dingyou came back this time not for other things, but to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of Li Kun's newly established newspaper, "Far East News".

At the beginning in Surabaya, Li Kun was interviewed by Huang Dingyou and had a certain understanding of him. Huang Dingyou's qualifications are quite good. Now that the Li Group wants to set up its own newspaper mouthpiece, Li Kun naturally thinks of Huang Dingyou, the only one he knows. Huang Dingyou was also very surprised after receiving the news.

He jumped directly from a reporter to the position of deputy editor-in-chief, which was a three-level promotion and a qualitative leap.

Although this newspaper is still being established and everything is still virtual. But Huang Dingyou still got on the ship back to Shanghai when the Battle of Luzon was about to begin. Because the owner of this newspaper is the Li family, it has the support of the uncle of the emperor and the empress behind it, and its future is infinitely bright.

"I am Huang Dingyou."

There are many people holding signs outside the dock, and the sign in the hand of one of the young people is written with the three words Huang Dingyou.

"Mr. Huang, please come this way. The carriage is in the parking lot." The young man enthusiastically took over Huang Dingyou's rattan box. In recent years, rattan boxes and leather suitcases have become popular in China. Many families have such boxes. After all, it is much more convenient to go out than to pack.

In this world, not everyone has the conditions to go out with a team of horse-drawn carriages, and large solid wooden boxes are not something that half of the people can carry when they go out.

"What's your name, little brother? Are you also from the newspaper?"

"My surname is Lin. I am a clerk of the newspaper. My family is from Shanghai. The land of the newspaper was originally mine. When it was sold to the newspaper, I was also stuffed in."

Huang Dingyou immediately looked at the young man in front of him with new eyes. It turned out that he was a son of a wealthy family. The land in Shanghai is not cheap at all.

"Mr. Huang, President Zhu has prepared the relevant contract and can be signed at any time. Do you want to take a rest for a day and go to the newspaper tomorrow? Or go and take a look today?"

Huang Dingyou smiled, "Of course I will go today. It's not that tiring to take a boat, not to walk."

"Brother Lin, let me ask, where is our President Zhu from?"

Huang Dingyou was not asking about President Zhu's hometown. He wanted to know President Zhu's identity and background.

"Our president is from Zhensu. He passed the law exam in his early years. After resigning, he became a lawyer. His name is Zhu Shihai. He is really talented and a famous lawyer in the whole Jiangnan..."

After settling down in the house prepared in advance, Huang Dingyou washed and dressed himself in a black military uniform, and followed the young man surnamed Lin to the newspaper office. Along the way, he met a sesame paste seller. Although Huang Dingyou was not hungry, he could not resist the temptation, so he stopped the carriage and asked for a bowl of fragrant black sesame paste.

Huang Dingyou wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to the young man surnamed Lin with a little embarrassment: "Excuse me, excuse me. Huang has been away from home for two years, and suddenly encountered the local flavor. I am fascinated by it, I can't help myself, I can't help myself."

The young man surnamed Lin smiled in understanding. "The local environment nurtures the local people. No matter how long you go out, the taste of your hometown is still the best."

Huang Dingyou laughed out loud with this sentence. The relationship between the two sides was also brought closer. Then Lin Ying, the young man surnamed Lin, quietly said to Huang Dingyou: "The president and two vice presidents of the newspaper have been finalized, and the three deputy editors-in-chief have also been finalized, managing the three major areas of news editorials, human geography, and military, political, civil and economic discussions, but the position of the editor-in-chief has not been finalized yet..." "Far East News" is a rich man, and the Li Group has the support of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and the emperor behind it. They originally poached people directly, and the position of the editor-in-chief was finalized early. But what was unexpected was that something unexpected happened and the person was not poached.

"As far as I know, President Zhu will personally serve as the editor-in-chief for a period of time. But President Zhu doesn't know much about these things, so the power of the deputy editor-in-chief will be correspondingly that, if he performs well..."

Huang Dingyou didn't know what Lin Ying was thinking, and actually said such things to him. Isn't this a typical case of talking about deep things after a brief relationship? Maybe Lin Ying said the same thing to more than one person, or maybe there were a lot of pits in these words, burying the person without any trace.

But Huang Dingyou knew that he had a source of information in the newspaper. This was a good start!

Zhu Shihai had already prepared the agreement. After the two sides signed the contract, Huang Dingyou became a formal member of the Far East News.

As the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the news section, Huang Dingyou's importance was unquestionable. Zhu Shihai hoped that he could see Huang Dingyou's level immediately.

"I personally think that the focus of the whole country is now the war."

"Our dynasty is powerful. I believe that at this time, the court's army has already taken Manila. Reporting military news again will not achieve the goal of a hit."

"As a newly established newspaper, if we want the general public to remember our newspaper, we must come up with new ideas in the first few issues of opening."

"I personally think that the focus of our newspaper can be placed on the changes in the people of Nanyang."

"Before the court entered Nanyang, what kind of life did the Chinese in Nanyang live? They were oppressed by the Spaniards and the Dutch, but they were unable to report. And what kind of status do they have in Nanyang now?

We should interview some Nanyang Chinese and listen to their voices. Then interview the brave soldiers after the war, let them see how the Nanyang Chinese feel, and then talk about their psychological feelings."

Huang Dingyou, who has been in Nanyang for a long time, can actually understand the psychological changes of the Nanyang Chinese.

The Battle of Sulu was a turning point, and the current Battle of Manila is an end point.

There is no need for Batavia to add to the story. The status of the Chinese in Southeast Asia has been completely established by the current war.

"Another one." Huang Dingyou took out more than a dozen different newspapers from five different newspapers from his handbag. He marked some sections of these newspapers with a brush. "The president must be familiar with these newspapers. These are all big newspapers. Some of these 16 newspapers were bought by me at Zengmu Island, some were bought when the ship docked at Takao Port, and some were bought in Ningbo."

"Some of the commentary articles and news in these newspapers have reported the problem of a sharp increase in retired officers and soldiers of the National Defense Force in recent years, and the problem that many families are unwilling to let their sons and husbands join the army, and the problem of indifference to joining the army."

"But I think, among these millions of soldiers, since there are countless scums who want to go home and live a stable life, then it must be There are also heroes who are loyal to their country and sacrifice their own families for the sake of the country. "

"We should not only focus on those scums, but also shift the world's attention to those heroes."

"We can also show them the materials we interviewed from the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and let them explore their own feelings."

"Even including the feelings of the Chinese in Southeast Asia about the army. Because as far as I know, in the Southeast Asia region, the people in Borneo and Ha Tien are no less indifferent to joining the army than those in the southeast coastal areas."

Whether it is the preparation work of a deputy editor-in-chief or the professional attitude of a journalist, Huang Dingyou's eyes are always looking for hype points and issues that can arouse heated discussions.

Zhu Shihai laughed, and Huang Dingyou's performance made him very satisfied. Some of the things he said have generated ideas in the communication between the top leaders of the newspaper, but not as complete and systematic as what Huang Dingyou said. This can be made into a series of reports.

"President, you are too kind. I just stayed in Nanyang for a longer time, so I naturally have a deeper understanding of some things."

"As for the Chinese community in Nanyang who are unwilling to join the army, these people are a very complicated group."

"They don't join the army, and even despise joining the army. Rather than joining the army, they want their families to gain higher wealth and richer connections in shopping malls and the sea. From this point of view, they are despicable."

"And the bones of these people are often very weak. Under the rule of Spain and the Dutch, these people just want to do whatever they want. Many of them also believe in monotheism. Although this belief is more for them to be better and richer. Life."

"But when the country issues land bonds and national bonds in Nanyang, most of these people will actively buy them, and after buying them, they will burn them. From this aspect, they are very commendable. They are not without loyalty. ”

"If we can put a lot of effort into exploring this, I think this topic can make a good start for the newspaper."

Among the three major sections of newspapers, the most difficult one is news commentary, but the easiest one to excel in is news commentary. Unless it catches up with the wonderful novels, it is difficult for humanistic geography to attract readers' attention. Now it has been four years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and many of the foreigners' stupid things have been exposed, and the appeal is even more attractive than it was at the beginning. It's a huge difference.

It is even more difficult to be outstanding in the discussion of politics, military and people's livelihood and economy. Some well-known commentators have high prestige and huge influence, no worse than the elite scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but there are countless of them, and they are the treasures of various newspapers. Is it so easy to dig it out there?

Huang Dingyou left the president's office with a smile on his face. On the way to his office, his steps were brisk.

Although the area of ​​a single house is not very large, it is a symbol of status. Huang Dingyou, who has been in a newspaper for a long time, knows that the people who are qualified to own an office in a newspaper are at least at the editor-in-chief level.

At the "Jinling News" where he used to work, the area of ​​the editor's office was much smaller than the one here.

"Far East News" directly bought the Lin family building. The four-story building was too luxurious for a newspaper in this era. In addition to "Far East News", there is also a "Yangtze River Publishing House" here.

Naturally, it is also an industry under the Li Group.

Sitting on a brown-red hardwood office chair, with his hands on the same brown-red desk, and a key in his hand on the table, a feeling of success and fame arose spontaneously.

How old is he?

He became the senior leader of a newspaper that was destined to grow in size. This was something Huang Dingyou never expected when he was traveling in Southeast Asia.

The world is really so wonderful.

I went to Surabaya with him and interviewed Uncle Guo, whose identity had been revealed. It was such a great fate for me. It was so unexpected.
