The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 427 Rebuilding Southwest Associated University?

Kunming City.

Normal university.

Liu Tao and others are inspecting Yunnan Normal University. Although this university is not well-known in the country, it has a glorious history.

Because the predecessor of Yunnan Provincial Demonstration University was the famous Southwest Associated University.

Although Southwest Associated University existed for only 8 years, it created countless miracles, producing 2 Nobel Prize winners, 8 two-bomb and one-satellite heroes, and more than 170 academicians!

This time I came to the Normal College because of the reform of the college.

Liu Tao was deeply touched after visiting various universities in Hong Kong.

So he has been planning to build a world-class university in Yunnan Province.

And he thought of Southwest Associated University.

In recent years, schools such as Yunnan University and Yunnan University of Technology have benefited from financial support and Panshan Group's support, and have developed quite well. However, they lack the foundation and attractiveness to become world-class schools.

Southwest Associated University is different. It has absolutely enough foundation, and many of the students back then are now the backbone of the university, so they can be attracted to take up the position.

Besides, we have deep ties with Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University, and we can always ask them for support in establishing the major.

Just like the Shenzhen University established two years ago, Peking University assisted in the construction of Chinese and foreign language disciplines, Tsinghua University assisted in the construction of electronic and architectural disciplines, and Renmin University assisted in the construction of economics and law disciplines. This is the legend that "Tsinghua is the father, Peking University is the mother, and the child born is called Shenzhen University."

Of course, the reorganized Southwest Associated University would not be located in the original campus here. After all, the campus here is too small.

Next, these universities in Kunming will be moved to the vicinity of Dianchi Lake to form a university district around Dianchi Lake.

This is also to protect Dianchi Lake, so that its environment will not be damaged and its water will not be easily polluted.

After all, once something like this happens, colleges and universities are always the most sensitive and react the fastest.

The original campus here will become the museum of Southwest Associated University, which will be used to record the glorious years of Southwest Associated University.

As for the planned new campus of Southwest Associated University, it will cover an area of ​​4 square kilometers, or 6000 acres, with a total construction area of ​​300 million square meters. It will also be the location of the cloud province root server.

At Southwest Associated University, Liu Tao will also establish a supercomputing center to provide computing power support for the entire southwest and for scientific research.

"Comrade Liu Tao, will the higher-ups agree to rebuild Southwest Associated University?" The leader walking with Liu Tao was a little unsure.

There is definitely no way to do this relying solely on Yun Province.

Even though Yunnan Province has developed well in recent years, it has gradually been positioned to provide logistical support for the troops in the south and serve the Panshan Group.

The real status is not high.

It is simply impossible to build such a university relying solely on Yunnan Province. Firstly, Yunnan Province does not have such huge financial resources to support the construction of such a university; secondly, Yunnan Province does not have such great influence to obtain approval from higher authorities because the brand of "Southwest Associated University" is extraordinary; thirdly, Yunnan Province does not have the ability to build a world-class university.

Therefore, if Yunnan Normal University is to be reformed into Southwest Associated University, it depends on Panshan Group, or more precisely, Liu Tao. Panshan Group has much greater influence than Yunnan Province.

Its importance in the entire southwest, or even in the whole country, is beyond doubt.

"Education reform is what the country is doing and encouraging. When Pengcheng University was established, the country gave great support. We are re-establishing 'Southwest Associated University'. I think this is what the country wants to see." Liu Tao smiled and said, "The Southwest region should also have a truly first-class university!"

Liu Tao is still very confident in this regard.

He doesn't need money from the country, he just needs policy support.

He believed that if Southwest Associated University could be established, it would be close to the headquarters of Panshan Group and would be able to enjoy many resources.

Liu Tao said: "I will return to Beijing in a few days, and then I will go to see the leader in person and tell him about this matter."

To be honest, he felt it was a pity that Southwest Associated University ceased operations. Although it only existed for eight years, it "established a scale of academic freedom internally and was known as a bastion of democracy externally." It preserved important scientific research forces during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, cultivated a large number of outstanding and accomplished talents, and made outstanding contributions to the development and progress of China and the world.

He even wanted to call "Southwest Associated University" the soul of Hua Xia University!

The "Southwest Associated University" embodied the spirit of saving the nation and the cohesion of the nation. It took the rise and fall of the country as its own responsibility. This spirit is extremely valuable.

Beijing, Siheyuan.

Listening to the bird house, Liu Tao is concentrating on writing.

Zhu Lin came in with a cup of tea.

"Not finished yet?" Zhu Lin was a little curious.

Liu Tao has been writing this book for about two months.

"Finally done!" Liu Tao put down his pen and smiled.

After delivering a speech titled "The Future Belongs to China" at Hong Kong University, Liu Tao was deeply touched and decided to write a book.

Liu Tao would write in his spare time every day. It took him more than two months to finally finish the book.

The book has seven chapters, totaling more than 400,000 words.

The title of the first chapter is China's Position in World History, the title of the second chapter is The Rise of Western Civilization and the Decline of Chinese Civilization, the title of the third chapter is China's Contribution to the Two World Wars, the title of the fourth chapter is Reflections on the Cold War and the Arrival of the Era of Globalization, the title of the fifth chapter is The Gap between Contemporary China and the World, the sixth chapter is The Hidden Dangers of Developed Countries in the World, and the title of the seventh chapter is The Future Belongs to China.

He spent a lot of time and energy on this book, and also had a broad vision. It can be said that it has great academic value.

Especially in the sixth chapter, Hidden Dangers of Developed Countries in the World, Liu Tao analyzed in detail the problems existing in major developed countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, Britain, France, and made some predictions.

With regard to the EEC, the EU and European integration, he made a prediction that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union would be willing to see European integration realized. If Europe only existed at the EU stage, then without a European army and without European independence, it would be deeply influenced by the United States. He conducted various analyses on this.

As for the Soviet Union, Liu Tao also analyzed the various problems that existed in the Soviet Union, including the ideological vacillation of the Soviet Union. He made a bold prediction that if there was confusion and vacillation in ideology, it would not be the Soviet Union that was defeated from outside, but the Soviet Union that would fall apart from within.

Regarding the United States, Liu Tao also conducts a comprehensive analysis of hidden dangers in the book. For example, high labor costs have made American industrial products uncompetitive in the international market, the American industry has collapsed in the face of the attack from Japanese industry, and there are also various problems such as immigration. Here he points out a major hidden danger, that is, the United States has been founded for more than 200 years, but has never completed the construction of the American nation, and has never answered the question: What is an American!
