The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The third day of the Lunar New Year.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky.

The northwest wind was howling, and it seemed quite cold.

Liu Tao drove the car and stopped at an open space next to a house. He took two bottles of wine, two bags of tea and two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from the car.

He straightened his clothes and looked at the house with a solemn look.

The person he was going to visit today was a big shot with very powerful energy.

To solve the resistance from UMC, Liu Tao thought about it and decided that it might be most appropriate to visit this big shot.

After showing his letter of introduction and identity certificate, the guard at the door saluted Liu Tao and then verified Liu Tao's identity information over the phone.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked over quickly.

"Comrade Liu Tao?" Liao Hui was very surprised.

You know, they didn't have much dealings before, after all, they were not in the same system.

"Comrade Liao Hui, please don't blame me for coming here uninvited!" Liu Tao said apologetically.

This person is currently the director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, and he is only 43 years old this year.

In the year before last, he served as the deputy regimental staff officer of the Science and Technology Department of the Equipment Department of the General Staff.

Liu Tao had met him a few times.

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Tao asked, "I wonder if Comrade Liao Chengzhi is available?"

Liu Tao came here this time to visit Liao Chengzhi.

Liao Chengzhi's identity is different. His father is Liao Zhongkai and his mother is He Xiangning. His father Liao Zhongkai is a veteran member of the Tongmenghui. He served as the deputy accountant of the Tongmenghui headquarters and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was also the leader of the left wing of the Kuomintang and firmly implemented Sun Yat-sen's policy of cooperating with the Communist Party.

Liao Chengzhi was influenced by the democratic revolution since he was a child. He accepted Marxism when he was a student. In 1925, he participated in the student movement and the workers' movement in Guangzhou, threw himself into the torrent of the big brothers, and joined the Kuomintang in the same year.

After the April 12 Incident, Liao Chengzhi left the Kuomintang and later studied at the First Higher School of Waseda University in Japan. After returning to China in 1928, he joined the Communist Party and has been carrying out propaganda work since then.

After the founding of the Republic, Liao Chengzhi was a decision-maker and executor of China's foreign affairs, and made outstanding contributions in many fields such as united front, foreign affairs, Sino-Japanese friendly relations, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

In order to call on the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to conduct peaceful negotiations and realize the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, he personally sent a telegram to Baodao two years ago and wrote a letter to Mr. Jiang Jingguo.

Liao Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My father is in poor health. He has been bedridden since last year and has gradually let go of his work. Please don't discuss with my father for too long, Comrade Liu Tao."

Liu Tao sighed secretly in his heart.

Liao Chengzhi is only 77 years old this year, but because of the poor environment in his early years and the unsatisfactory medical care now, he also fell ill.

After the founding of the Republic, many old revolutionaries died of illness at a young age, and many of them were famous figures in history.

"Okay! Thank you, Comrade Liao Hui!" Liu Tao nodded.

Soon, Liu Tao met Liao Chengzhi.

Liao Chengzhi, who appeared in front of Liu Tao, was an old man with a dying candle in the wind, and his life was probably counted down.

After a brief greeting, Liu Tao talked about the fact that Huaxia Semiconductor Group was going to acquire shares in Formosa UMC, and encountered great resistance.

"Now the overall situation in Hong Kong and Macau has been determined, and it will take several years to reach 1987 and 1999, but Formosa has not seen the dawn yet." Liu Tao said, "Formosa has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. The reunification of the motherland is the will of the people and the general trend! Every Chinese, whether living in Formosa or on the mainland, has an unshirkable responsibility for the survival, development and prosperity of the Chinese nation!"

"The major task of unifying the motherland, which is related to the future of the entire nation, is placed before all of us. No one can avoid it, and no one should avoid it." Liu Tao's words were full of determination.

This is a rare window of historical opportunity.

The United States is in decline and needs China to help. The two sides are now politically and economically hot. Every year, China imports a large number of aircraft, soybeans, corn, etc. from the United States. China is the largest trade surplus country in the United States. The United States can earn billions of profits from bilateral trade every year.

But the situation in Baodao is not very good in recent years.

In particular, Hong Kong and Macau have already determined the timetable, which has a great impact on Baodao.

Moreover, the "Jiangnan case" has not subsided at this time, which can be said to be a very good window of opportunity.

Once missed, it will not be easy to find this window again.

And when the United States recovers, this matter will be difficult to handle.

…

"This problem will be solved by our generation and not left to the next generation, so that the next generation can not bear the historical burden, go into battle lightly, and develop the country better." Liao Chengzhi said: "In the last time of my life, I can still do something meaningful. I think even if I die, I can have the face to see my father, and I can be worthy of the nation and the country!"

They have gone through untold hardships, not just to save the country and make China strong again.
