Rekindle 2003

Chapter 721: With every puff of cigarette, what exactly is being smoked?
The first one to jump out was Silly Damu.

America spent a lot of time in the 90s consolidating its dollar oil hegemony in the Middle East.

Faced with the overwhelming hegemony of America at that time, we desperately kept a low profile and only made a small amount of money.

Faced with this situation, the Western economic community had to adopt a set of indicators and parameters that seemed more reasonable to them to estimate China's economic development.

For example, changes in the market size and price index of waste paper and waste plastic recycling.

The theory is that the size of this market is a direct response to the rise and fall of the economy.

This is feasible in developed countries and even in China after 2008. Especially in China, which has entered the era of online shopping, this is a benchmark index for consumption.

However, before 2008...

This would be misleading.

Apart from anything else, how could most students at that time have white and clean draft books like children today?

Use scrap newspapers, wrapping paper and the like, both front and back, to write densely.

An old professor at Shu University did an interesting survey after he retired. The characters of those born in 10s are generally one size larger than those born in 80s.

And what else can you do with used scratch paper?

You can make origami into garbage boxes, paper airplanes, paper handicrafts...

Another example is beverage bottles. At that time, many families used beverage bottles to make vases and other utensils at home. Only families who didn’t know how to live would just throw away the bottles.

The life wisdom of the Chinese people makes the indicators of Western economists meaningless.

In their view, a lot of goods have been produced, but the actual sales situation is not optimistic because the scale of waste paper recycling and production scale seriously do not match.

Especially for beverages, which are products with a regional nature, the possibility of exporting Chinese beverages is basically zero.

Therefore, at that time, there were widespread rumors that China was about to collapse.

Therefore, economists could not change this view until the first few years of this century.

Western academic circles have a misunderstanding about this. They either think that China overreports, or think that China underreports.

And people have been saying the same thing for many years, so the people are convinced of this.

Of course, we are wired to think that this is an overstatement.

After all, in our impression, there is this motive.

Coincidentally, America in the 90s thought so too.

Therefore, the development of China is not taken seriously at all, let alone an important opponent.

So America stepped up its interference in global and regional affairs.

Spread your strategic power to all parts of the world like sea pepper noodles, intervene everywhere, and be the world's policeman.

When faced with the three major humiliating events of America's obedience test, we were so cowardly.

And when I look back twenty or thirty years ago, I really have to say that there are masters behind the country.

Even in the economic activities of that year, people will be surprised to see the development. The data of China's listed companies (basically the national enterprise era) will always show a situation of rising one year and falling every year.

Looks like a joke.

There was even a description at that time: the performance of listed companies advanced in waves.

In order to achieve this situation, in the era when triangular debt was rampant, once accounts receivable were established, bad debt provisions were made in full, and bad debt provisions were only allowed to be written off when the accounts receivable were recovered.

When it comes to accounting statements, fairness comes first and authenticity takes a back seat.

The accounting statements under this accounting method are absolutely fair. When foreigners see this, they can only say that China's accounting system is too strict.

In 1990, my GDP was 1.8 trillion. In 2000, our GDP was 10 trillion. It increased more than five times in ten years and ranked sixth in the world.

Of course, such rapid growth cannot be achieved by relying on data falsification, which aroused America's alarm in 2001.

That year, Xiao Bu was elected. As soon as he came to power, he proposed America's three major enemies: Yi La Ke, Xiong Da, and Hua Guo.

America immediately began to make strategic arrangements in the Asia-Pacific.
Just as America's strategic focus was about to shift to the Asia-Pacific, an incredible event occurred again.

Pulling the light, it directly smashed the lighthouse.

The world situation has changed again.

China has ushered in another decade of rapid development.

Later, when the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis were staged one after another, China, which had completed the emergency adjustment of its economic structure, had completely risen and become unstoppable.

Qing Yun really wanted to tell the people in this time and space everything he knew, but it was impossible for others to believe him with such a plot that no one could write up.

Not to mention the majority of people at the beginning of this century who yearned for the sweet air, most people could not have imagined that in just 20 years, we would be able to compete with America, and even gain an advantage in some areas.

At that time, we were proud to be members of the Wuchang family.

Emperor Yun was a little lonely, so he thought his butterfly could flutter faster.

He is familiar with the aftermath and knows very well that we can do more during these strategic windows, at least we can do less wearing sweaters inside out.

'We are heading for a renaissance'

As soon as these words came out, the angry young people on the forum celebrated the New Year. "I looked at this land map with tears in my eyes, and there were only four words in my eyes: 'Don't forget the national humiliation'!"

"I have long said that the geography book should be revised! And Xiaoqing is still not rigorous enough. The land area is not 960 million square kilometers! There are still many controversial points."

"Upstairs, please note that there is a word "appointment" on the poster. I don't know how much it will be."

"In such a large sea area, there are still nine aircraft carriers!"

"The one upstairs is conservative, at least 15 ships are enough!"

"Each province is equivalent to the area and population of a country abroad. At least one province should have one aircraft carrier fleet! It must be fair!"

"No...don't those economists always talk about per capita? According to our population, the per capita aircraft carrier must at least reach the world's middle level!"

"I said that our Junzi Province must have an outlet to the sea, and we must also have a West Sea Fleet!"

"I think Xiaoqing is still conservative. The East China Sea line should be drawn to the Ryukyu Trough, and the East China Sea continental shelf dividing line is the Ryukyu Trough. Ryukyu has been an inseparable part of us since ancient times!"

“I want to go to Mongolia, but I don’t want to go abroad. What should I do?”

"It feels so overbearing, but I like it!"

"I just love the way the rooster looks fatter!"

"Where's the chicken upstairs? We're obviously a torch, right?"

"The country is so big, it makes people anxious! Too anxious! Our strength is still not strong enough!

For the sake of the prosperity of the country, I decided not to quit smoking! Because what I smoke is not cigarettes, but the hope of revival! "

"It has nothing to do with you quitting smoking!"

"You upstairs, you don't understand. If you compare it over the years, our country's military expenditure has been at the same level as tobacco companies' taxes for a long time."

"I checked. Last year, the national military expenditure was 1929 billion, while tobacco profits and taxes were 1636. It's not enough! Brothers, click on it!"

"1929 billion, so much money spent! Why spend so much money on military spending in peacetime?"

"There's something wrong on Floor 379, I suggest you check it out!"

"They must be enemy agents!"

"What the hell, if you don't use it for military expenses, why don't you keep it for reparations in the future?"

"Reported!"

"If you quit smoking and I quit smoking, how will the missiles fly into the sky?"

"You take a bite and I take a bite, and the rocket plane flies into the sky!"

"You have one and I have one, national defense construction depends on us!"

"You whip me and I whip you, one aircraft carrier after another!"

"You suck it in and I spit it out, and we'll speed up the aircraft carrier!"

"If my lungs had a color, it would be China Red!"

"That's awesome! Where is the aircraft carrier?"

"almost."

"I heard it was based on Varyag first..."

"Well, hurry up and buy two cigarettes for my father-in-law."

Looking at the forum that was gradually turning crooked on the screen, Emperor Yun smiled cheerfully, completely ignoring the situation where Lord Qianying was angrily twisting his ears at the moment.

However, under Tang Qianying's angry look, Qing Yun still curled her lips and typed on the keyboard with her own account.

“Smoking is harmful to health, please don’t smoke in prohibited places!”

Lord Qianying turned his anger into joy, his comic eyes narrowed into a smile, he sat back and stretched out his small hands to tug on Emperor Yun's face.

But just when she was about to praise her, "You stinky brother is so obedient," Emperor Yun's hand moved again.

She made a quick move, and then her hands went around her back and waved on the keyboard.

“But are we smoking cigarettes?
No! This is a bullet fired into the enemy's chest!
This is the bolt of the motherland aircraft carrier!
This is the splint for a fighter jet to take off! This is my donation to support the construction of the motherland!

Every starlight ignited by a lighter is the flame that realizes the great rejuvenation of the motherland!
Every time you light a cigarette, it is a gun that makes the motherland stronger!
Every discarded cigarette butt is a cannonball thrown at the enemy's position!
The pictures on every cigarette box are all the great rivers and mountains of the motherland!

Whenever smoke rises in front of me, I seem to see the Ice Sculpture Company in the Battle of the Founding of the Republic!
Every time I hold back my grief and hurt myself, I seem to see our heroic ancestors rushing out of the trenches and beating the jackals, tigers and leopards so hard that they can't hide no matter how hard they try!
With every puff of cigarette, what exactly are you smoking?
It is to prevent our soldiers from having to make detours! You can shout boldly, 'Fuck me! '"

Master Qianying, who had his back to the screen, heard the crackling sound behind him.

But at this moment, with her arms tightly wrapped around her stinky brother's neck, she was forced to dare not come down, and she had no time to care about his obsessive and insidious behavior.

However, the policy of appeasement has been ineffective since ancient times.

When Emperor Yun hit the enter key, he raised his eyebrows at her, and his hands naturally returned to her slender waist.

"Rare..."

Before the word "fate" was spoken, Master Qianying felt his waist sink and he quickly covered his mouth.
