Chapter 590

Such a huge transport fleet, together with the two main divisions of the Seventh Legion, turned into meat among the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people. Whether it was General Woodford or General Jeffrey, he was immediately overwhelmed.

Especially General Jeffrey's heart, a lot of self-blame surged.

Although San Francisco Port has a part of the Imperial America Fleet, he is also responsible for the assistance of the surrounding waters. He is obviously responsible for such extremely painful losses.

However, when Jeffrey calmed down and studied the current situation carefully, he felt a little helpless again.

"In mid-February, the Taiping Heavenly Fleets frequently appeared in the waters west and north of Vancouver Island, and were quite large in scale. Our fleet not only needed to ensure that Vancouver Island was not lost, but also needed to provide necessary support for the troubled Vancouver land battlefield, so that it was difficult to send more patrol forces to other waters..."

The reason for relief that Admiral Geoffrey found for himself should be considered very reasonable.

When Dong Erdan's formation was staring at the British transport fleet in the San Francisco Harbor, the main force of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet led by Xu Zongyang not only began to cruise in the northwest waters of Vancouver Island, but also met Jeffrey's patrol ship several times.

Especially unlike in the past, during these several encounters, the Red Navy fleet completely gave up the guerrilla tactic of fighting and running, and always put on a fierce attitude of fighting to the end.

In fact, facing the main Pacific fleet of the Red Navy, surrounded by five Uluyasutai-class destroyers, the main Pacific fleet of the Red Navy was already the usual patrol group of large and small patrol formations of the British army.

In Jeffrey's view, all signs indicate that the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Fleet was coveting the lair of his fleet. Once his power was too dispersed, the Taiping Heavenly Fleet dared to come directly to the door and take down his lair.

Therefore, during those days, Jeffrey had to provide the strongest support to the Vancouver landing defenders who had complained all day long, and fought wits and courage with the invisible and intangible Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's land artillery team, and then concentrated all the forces that the fleet could concentrate, and conducted a twenty-hour uninterrupted search of the waters around Vancouver Island, in order to find an opportunity to fight the main fleet of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

However, he returned home in disappointment many times.

Because when Jeffrey wanted to fight, Xu Zongyang no longer had the intention of fighting.

At the end of March, Jeffrey received a severe telegram from the Imperial Navy. It is important to find an opportunity to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people in a decisive battle, but it is obviously more urgent to ensure the smooth flow of maritime traffic lines. The Navy requires Jeffrey's fleet to pay enough attention to this.

Jeffrey lamented because what he feared the most was to deal with soldiers everywhere, but now...

Jeffrey was uncomfortable, and Woodford was not feeling well.

The end of the two main divisions of the Seventh Legion, which finally endured the pain, made Woodford feel more and more serious about the loss of composure.

Vancouver's persistence battle is already very painful. Now that it has lost the reinforcement channel, Vancouver can still defend it. What should I do to involve the hindrance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people who are eager to try out?

"After careful and meticulous research and judgment, as well as the latest information, we believe that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people are eager to completely end the war in North America this year, at the latest in the first half of next year, so that they can draw more energy, invest in Africa, or directly engage in the battlefields of Europe. For us, it is necessary to establish a new thinking on long-lasting operations in the Americas, and to block the ambitious Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people from Canada's hinterland, and look for various favorable fighters, carry out necessary counterattack operations on them, and eliminate all the forces that can be destroyed as much as possible..."

It's true that heroes have the same views.

As soon as he received this instruction from the Supreme Command of the Empire, it was like a heavy burden suddenly unloading his body. Woodford immediately threw all the affairs of the British and American Allied Forces Command to Senior Admiral Sidon, and he easily took his elite soldiers and rushed towards Ottawa...

The "warm current plan" of the Supreme Command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was announced to be completed with a successful result.

In April 1869, Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan encountered a difficult problem.

Before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government officially joined the current war that spread all over the world, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government made meticulous and meticulous preparations in all aspects. Especially in terms of gaining the support of the vast majority of the people in the country, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government has made many years of efforts.

Because the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government are well aware of this principle: the important factor that determines the victory or defeat of a war is the orientation of the people.

The vast majority of the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now clearly understand a simple truth: lasting stability and peace are essential prerequisites for the happiness and development of every family and even the country, but lasting stability and peace can only be obtained by war at some point.

On February 4, 1869, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom declared war on the Allies led by Britain and officially joined this world war, when millions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom workers and peasants Red Army and the athletes of the Red Navy went to various battlefields with the belief of victory, the people of all walks of life in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom immediately set off a storm of economic construction of "everything is for the frontline" and "everything is for peace".

It was inspired by this hot economic storm that in mid-April 1869, the State Council, chaired by Zheng Nan, received a request document from Guangxi Provincial Government. The main content of the document was actually a letter of request from Guiping County of the province to Guangxi Provincial Government.

As the cradle province of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolution, Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the Jintian Village, Guiping County, which is famous at home and abroad, the origin of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolution, was not only never forgotten by the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolution, but also received great favor from the heroes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution from Guangdong and Guangxi.

Therefore, in the vast area of ​​the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, except for the Northeast region, Guangdong and Guangxi have long become the vanguard of national economic construction.

In 1860, the former Jintian Village had become a Jintian Town with a total area of ​​more than 150 square kilometers, with 19 villages and streets under its jurisdiction, with a cultivated land area of ​​nearly 30,000 mu and a population of about 30,000. It is both a transportation hub and a cultural center in the northern part of Guiping County.

In economic construction, the Jintian people, who were the source of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution, still maintained and carried forward their revolutionary spirit. The first spontaneous mutual aid group and the first spontaneous agricultural production cooperative in the country were both born in Jintian.

As of 1868, Jintian Town had all agricultural production cooperatives under its jurisdiction. Not only did the annual rice planting area have nearly 10,000 mu, but it also planted thousands of mu of other economic crops such as Pinellia, Sand Ginger, Star Anise, and Fruit Cane.

Located in the mountainous area, Jintian Town has a forest coverage of nearly 60%. The unique geographical conditions not only allow the Jintian people to have a large amount of forest savings, but also earned themselves the reputation of "the hometown of fruits" with the fresh fruit planting of Big Oolong and Wujing lychees.

In the livestock and aquaculture industry, Jintian people have also made great progress. More than half of the agricultural production cooperatives have large pig farms, and three villages have built turtle farms.

At the same time, Jintian Town has not forgotten to vigorously develop its own characteristic industries according to local conditions.

In order to improve people's water use, the Jintian people built water plants, and successively built more than a dozen wool weaving factories and wood processing plants.

Especially the canned lychee produced from Jintian Farm Products Processing Factory, the "Jintian" sign has long become the most favored and best food for the Red Navy soldiers.

Since the second half of 1868, the Kinda people have already developed a new thinking. After entering 1869, with the outbreak of a national construction storm, the Kinda people's new thinking has become increasingly strong.

This is to establish a brand new production organization, that is, to merge the nineteen existing agricultural production cooperatives in the town, and to establish a Jintian Farm that integrates agriculture and workers, and all means of production are collectively owned by the collective.

In the request to Guiping County Government and transferred to Guangxi Provincial Government, Jintian Town Government and Jintian Farmers Association stated that once the Jintian Farm is established, the entire Jintian will become the first production organization in the country to have no private economy and will take the lead in socialism.

The reason why the people of Kinda have such thinking is not a temporary whim, nor does it mean that the so-called ugly mentality of people from later generations is that they are completely out of their simplest and most passionate love for the new society.

First of all, the large comprehensive farms under the Red Army Agricultural Reclamation Corps, which were established like mushrooms after a rain, developed rapidly, produced production efficiency and huge production scale, while shocking and amazed the world, and created a great miracle in the history of production development.

The people of Jintian have always regarded the farm of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps as their role models to learn from and to catch up.

Secondly, the reason why the Jintian people came from this kind of thinking was that Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan had been talking about a theoretical system for a long time.

The first stage of human society in its development towards a socialist society is a socialist society.

In capitalist society, the contradiction between the social nature of production and the private possession of capitalists of means of production, the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and the various contradictions and disadvantages of the capitalist society derived from it, doomed that capitalism must develop to a higher social form. Socialist society will inevitably replace capitalist society, which is the embodiment of the objective law of the development of contradictions between human social productive forces and production relations.

A socialist society is established by inheriting the essence of capitalism and overcoming all the shortcomings of capitalism. It is a new type of society that is opposite to capitalism and is higher than capitalism.

The large-scale socialized production formed by capitalist society, various scientific management experiences, certain forms of bourgeois democracy, some reasonable factors in bourgeois culture, etc., can all be inherited and transformed and utilized. The bourgeois private property system, exploitation of surplus value, social polarization, class opposition and class oppression, corrupt and declining bourgeois culture, intrigue and interpersonal relationships, external aggression and expansion must be gradually and resolutely eliminated.

Socialist society can only be fully established after the proletarian party leads the people to change the bourgeois regime and establish the proletarian regime, and after a transition period from capitalism to socialism, further develop productivity, gradually change the private ownership of the means of production, make the public ownership of the socialist means of production dominate and completely eliminate the exploiting class.

Of course, capitalism will never collapse automatically, because the bourgeoisie is unwilling to lose the power to exploit and oppress the proletariat and the broad masses of working people that are already in their hands.

Compared with the slave-owner class and the feudal landlord class, the bourgeoisie is a more intelligent ruling class. The fierce competition in capitalist commodity production will force some bourgeoisie to obtain continued existence and development only by trying every means to strengthen business management and improve technology.

At the same time, as the workers' movement and people's movement are growing, the bourgeoisie will also strive to change the power of rule. For example, in addition to military suppression, they will also use various sinister and despicable means such as economic bribery, political deception, social reform, ideological corruption, organizational infiltration, concession and compromise, foreign wars, etc. to ease class contradictions, offset the people's revolutionary movement, and transfer the people's revolutionary goals.

Socialist society must have highly developed productivity and higher labor productivity than capitalism.

This is an inevitable requirement and final result of socialist development, and it is also the primary feature of socialist society. The fundamental task of socialism is to promote the development of productive forces. Only when socialist society ultimately creates higher productivity than capitalist society can it fully build a high level of socialist material and spiritual civilization, and improve the material and cultural living standards of all people more quickly and generally, thereby fully demonstrating the superiority of the socialist system.

Socialist society should realize the public ownership of means of production and gradually replace capitalist private ownership.

The capitalist private ownership system is adopted to deprive, exclude, buy, and transform and exploit it, so that it can be gradually changed into socialist public ownership. For the small private ownership of individual workers, it must be gradually transformed into socialist public ownership through cooperation and other means.

Of course, in the socialist stage, the public ownership of means of production in socialist society can adopt the form of people's ownership, that is, state ownership, collective ownership, that is, collective ownership of the working people, and shareholding and joint ownership of the working people.

Socialist society implements the principle of distribution according to work.

The value created by the working people must belong to the working people themselves. In addition to the necessary deductions required by society, it must be distributed according to the quantity and quality of the labor of the workers. Workers should work more and get more, and less work less, and they cannot get nothing without work.

Socialist society implements a planned economy.

In order to implement a high degree of socialist democracy in a socialist society, the working class and all working people must control the state's regime and truly become the masters of the state and society.

The regime of a socialist country can only take the form of a republic, and the supreme power belongs to a representative organ composed of representatives elected by all the people. The leaders of the state organ must not only be elected, but also have to set up a certain term of office and truly accept the supervision of the people.

Cadres at all levels are service members of the people and cannot enjoy any privileges, let alone lifelong system.

Citizens have the right to vote, the right to be elected, the right to supervise, the right to remove, speech, publishing, assembly, association, marches and demonstrations, and gradually develop from indirect democracy to direct democracy. Socialist democracy mainly has a complete socialist legal system to institutionalize and legalize it.

Although socialist society eliminates the exploiting class, there are still old class remnants and new class differentiation. Within a certain range, there must be struggles between different classes. Therefore, it is necessary and must not be neglected to implement dictatorship against a few hostile elements who oppose socialism.

Socialist society should build a high degree of socialist spiritual civilization.

The high material civilization of socialist society must be mutually conditioned and promoted by a high level of spiritual civilization so that all people can develop in an all-round way and live a healthy and happy life. We must arm and educate the people with socialism, ideals, Marxist world outlook and scientific theories, socialist humanitarianism, collectivism, patriotism, internationalism and other ideas, so as to develop a good socialist moral style and achieve the goal of cultivating a new type of socialist new type of workers with ideals, morals, cultures and disciplines.

Socialist society should have the leadership of working-class political parties guided by Marxism.

The Party should combine Marxism with the specific reality of its own country, formulate correct lines, principles and policies, and point out the direction for the construction of socialist on all fronts.

Through the pioneering and exemplary role played by all Party members, the Party will drive the broad masses of people and guide the broad masses to promote the cause of socialist construction and the development of socialist society through various mass organizations.

The political functions between the Party and the People should be effectively separated, and there should be sufficient democracy within the Party, close contact with the masses, and actively and enthusiastically accept supervision from the majority of Party members and the people...

With the comprehensive and high-level development of socialist society, the workers' parties and workers' state power will gradually disappear in the future. ** society will be a complete "combination of free people".

Now, facing the extremely passionate people of Kinda, should we continue to maintain the status quo for the time being, or should we take this great opportunity to take a big step forward immediately?

Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan are both making careful considerations.
