Chapter 409 Gandhi

Prosper together...

Greater East Asia Prosperity Circle...

The Great Far East prospers...

If others are to prosper themselves, then the word "co-prosperity" is naturally a great sin, but what if you are to prosper yourself" others?

That's the situation now...

Not to mention China in history, China is now the best in the world, and in this case, it is naturally possible that only China can prosper others.

And no matter how cowardly China was in the past or how it was bullying by the great powers, an indisputable fact is that China has been the leader of neighboring countries in the past few thousand years, and this position has not changed. It was not until after the Sino-Japanese War of 1985 that China's position was surpassed by Japan.

However, even so, China's influence is still deeply rooted in neighboring countries.

This can be seen from Japanese friends like Miyazaki Taotian. Even after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, there are still Japanese people in the winning Japan that will entrust them to China. So what will happen to other countries?

In this case, China is of course unswerving to be this "co-prosperous" role.

Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, except for Japan, Thailand and North Korea, which are Japanese colonies, other countries have so far only colonies of Western countries such as Britain and France. Not to mention industry, many countries do not even have more decent infrastructure...

Even if China's national strength is now the third in the world, and it is likely to catch up with the UK and the United States in the future, leading such a younger brother is still unreliable. After all, there is a group of backward countries to be younger brothers, which itself requires China to spend a lot of time and money to support...

However, no matter what, this is a role that China must play.

After all, it is really hard to survive in a yellow country in the world where white people are dominant...

On the water surface a distance from the upper box, a passenger ship was slowly sailing over.

Although the passenger ship was a little far away from the boarding box at this time, many passengers on the passenger ship had already walked out of the cabin and drank the largest city in the Far East and even in Asia.

Of course, more people were looking at the Empire State Building standing in Shanghai and exclaiming waves of surprise. Although the passenger ship was still a little far away from Shanghai at this time, as the largest building in the world, the Empire State Building had already been reflected in the eyes of passengers.

At this time, even many naughty children stopped on the deck and looked at the Empire State Building...

"Is this China..."

Looking at the Empire State Building that was more than one section higher than the surrounding buildings, a darker skin man on the deck said in shock.

Although the man had read many reports about the Empire State Building in the newspaper, including photos and video materials of the Empire State Building, when he truly looked at the world's tallest building with his eyes, he found that the photos and influence materials could not describe the grandeur of the building at all.

Empire State Building…

This world's tallest building not only stands out over other skyscrapers, but will also remain on the verge of this title for a long time to come.

Because when the building was being built, the designers had tried every means to build the height of the Empire State Building to this level. In other words, it was already the ultimate height of skyscrapers for a long time in the future...

If other engineers want to reach this height, they can only design by imitating the drawings of the Empire State Building. Even so, they cannot surpass the Empire State Building, and can only reach the same height as the Empire State Building.

However, if this is the case, then it will be meaningless to do so.

After all, building a building with many similarities in appearance, even if the building is at the same height as the Empire State Building or is a few centimeters tall, it is just a shameful act...

By the way, Yan Guang has always liked to go to the top of the Empire State Building to enjoy the feeling of looking down at the crowd. There is no way, who told me that I couldn’t build one in Beijing, so he could only enjoy it while he was working in Shanghai.

Moreover, in order to ensure that only one can enjoy this feeling in the future, Yan Guang also closed the highest position and allowed it to be opened only when he came. However, it was nothing to arrive. After all, the Empire State Building is Yan Guang's own private property. Although Yan Guang was a little selfish in doing so, others could not say anything...

But these men didn't know that he was just on the deck and his companions exclaiming waves of surprise at the Empire State Building that could be seen from afar.

Just as the people on the boat were still marveling at the Empire State Building, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the body of the Empire State Building.

Not long after, the space around the Empire State Building was already illuminated by the light of the searchlight like the white night.

"This is?"

The men with a little dark skin just now were surprised.

“This is a searchlight.”

Hearing the man's question, his companion on the side quickly replied.

"It is said that because the building is too high, in order to prevent aircraft such as aircraft from hitting the building, these searchlights were specially installed on the building. Generally, when the sky becomes dark and the visibility becomes low, these searchlights will turn on, just like now..."

"I see…"

Even so, looking at the lights from the building, the passengers on the boat exclaimed again.

What they didn't know, however, was that this was just the beginning.

Not long after, the passenger ship drove into the Yangtze River waterway. At this time, they suddenly discovered that there was a bridge constructing there on the water surface of the Yangtze River. However, the height of this bridge was completely different from the bridge that passengers remembered, at least...

At least, they have never seen a bridge of this height, because the height of this bridge is almost the same as that of ordinary skyscrapers...

“This is…”

Seeing this bridge, the companion wanted to say something, but the man had already waved his hand.

"I know this..."

Yangtze River Bridge, Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge…

Although the bridge is only in construction so far, as a bridge connecting Chongming Island, this bridge has long been famous for its length and height. When the Kinmen Bridge has not yet been completed, it is already known as the second of the world's engineering miracle, just like the Empire State Building...

Moreover, there are only three rankings of world engineering miracles so far, and the third one is the Panama Canal in the United States...

"What a miracle..."

When the passenger ship passed by the bridge under construction, the passengers on the passenger ship ran to both sides of the passenger ship to see the bridge in construction.

Looking up at this bridge that can pass through tens of thousands of tons of freighters, even the calmest person had to exclaim.

"This bridge has been under construction for a while..."

Looking at the bridge, the man thought for a while and said.

"That's right." The companion nodded. "The bridge has been constructed for nearly three years so far, but due to the difficulty of the project, it seems that it has only been completed less than half of it. I'm afraid it will take some time to complete it..."

As he said that, his companions pointed to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"In addition, there is also a Sutong Yangtze River Bridge upstream, which is also under construction, which is said to be no less than this bridge..."

In fact, there are three Huangpu River Bridges under construction. Since the name is named by Yan Guang himself, because Yan Guang’s unique naming method, these three bridges are called the “Huangpu River No. 1, 2, and 3” bridges…

Wow, let’s not mention the complaints made by local people in Shanghai about this naming method…

Since 1923, in order to better connect the north and south, in China, more than a dozen bridges have been under construction along the Yangtze River.—not counting these three on the Huangpu River.

Among these more than ten bridges, many of them may not be inferior even if they cannot compare with the Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge and the Sutong Yangtze River Bridge. Moreover, since these bridges are designed to be able to pass through steam locomotives and internal combustion engines, it also makes it more convenient for the north and south of the Yangtze River to connect.

It is also for this reason that countless Chinese and foreigners believe that the current actions of the National Socialist Government are of great significance.

Of course, there is also a problem here.

Although the National Social Security government has invested heavily in infrastructure construction such as bridges, the construction progress of projects such as the Yangtze River Bridge is extremely slow. Compared with the time when the Empire State Building was completed in just two years, this process is unimaginable.

But there is no way to do this. After all, building a building is different from building a bridge.

The building only needs to choose the foundation and then get the drawings out to build it. However, it takes a long time for the bridge to choose a location, not to mention that it is already very difficult to construct...

Although it has been construction for almost three years, even Yan Guang has no confidence in whether these bridges can be completed in three years...

However, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, when these bridges are built, China's national strength will be on the rise, because then the connection between the north and the south will be unprecedentedly close...

Of course, these men and others would not know. At this moment, they were just standing on the deck, shocked by these bridges that were still in construction.

"Have the Chinese people reached this level..."

The experiences along the way undoubtedly made the passengers on the passenger ship feel a lot more impressed by Shanghai, especially the towering Empire State Building and the Yangtze River Bridge under construction, which impressed these passengers.

When the passenger ship stopped behind the pier and looked at the prosperous city in front of him, Gandhi murmured alone.

That's right, this dark-skinned man is Gandhi.

Mohandas Kalamchand Gandhi…

Gandhi, who is nearly 60 years old, came this time to seek support from China on the issue of India. However, before that, Gandhi believed that he should learn more about China. For this reason, Gandhi decided to inspect the most prosperous city in China in Shanghai.

This choice was made because the cities with the highest chance of appearing in Western newspapers in Shanghe. In India and South Africa, Gandhi often saw news and photos about Shanghai in newspapers, so he naturally made Shanghe the first goal...

When it comes to India, in addition to Ganges, LCA and Ajun tanks, many people will immediately think of an ascetic man. He has a bald head, a mad man, and a dark skin. He always carries a wooden spinning machine with him. He spins a yarn whenever he has time. Wherever he goes, it will cause bursts of excitement and cheers, and a group of believers will follow him voluntarily. He is the leader of the Indian National Movement and the leader of the Congress Party Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Gandhi was born into an ancient family in India. In a society with strict hierarchy and distinct caste boundaries, this superior origin gave him the opportunity to go to Britain to receive higher education. This kind of education made Gandhi recognize the inequality in Indian society and the humiliating reality of India as a British colony.

He decided to change this situation. So, when he was still abroad, he began to engage in the struggle against racial discrimination. After graduating from university, he worked as a lawyer in South Africa. His extraordinary wisdom, superhuman courage and strong will made Gandhi not only an excellent lawyer, but also a leader of the Indian diaspora's struggle against racial discrimination. Therefore, when he returned to India, he naturally became the leader of the National Movement.

India is a country with a long religious tradition, and Hinduism has a wide influence (and many Islamic

Sik

Although the Jain religions are complex in their doctrines, they all oppose any violence and advocate the resolution of all disputes in a tolerant and peaceful manner. Gandhi was a devout believer in doctrine. Therefore, he created a unique way to strive for the liberation of the Indian nation, called the "non-violent non-cooperation movement". The "non-violent non-cooperation movement" includes two parts: "non-violent resistance" and an attitude of "non-cooperation" with British colonists. The specific contents include: resigning from public offices and titles granted by the British people; not attending any gatherings of the colonial government; not receiving British education and replacing the public schools of British rulers with their own private schools; not buying British goods, not wearing British clothes, spinning and weaving cloth by themselves; not buying British government bonds, not depositing in British banks, etc.

1893 4

An Indian company sent Gandhi to work in South Africa. He saw that the civil liberties and political rights of Indian immigrants in South Africa were largely deprived of, and was very discouraged. Some immigrants were mainly contract workers and individual businessmen. So he began to protest and lobby against legal and racial discrimination against Indians in South Africa.

In his early days in South Africa, one thing was often mentioned. He bought a ticket for a first-class car, refused to switch to a third-class car, and was thrown out of the Petmaritzburg train. In June 1903, Gandhi organized a protest campaign against the "Black Act", which forced all Asians in South Africa to register. In September 1913, he participated in a protest that would be invalid if they did not marry according to Catholic rituals.
