When General Giro realized this, his attitude towards Zhang Chi became more and more friendly... To be precise, this was no longer just "friendly", because General Giro would send a telegram to Zhang Chi every few days, praising Zhang Chi for everything he did for the Zoafu Corps and the Algiers government. There were many flattering words that made Zhang Chi look goosebumps.

Later, Zhang Chi simply asked the staff to "filter" these telegrams, and if it is irrelevant like this, don't put it on the desktop of his office.

The oil transportation channel was soon established.

There was almost no difficulty in this regard. Of course, there was no problem with the Algiers government here. I would like to say it before. This is the condition for the American equipment arsenal to enter Algiers. Even if there is no such condition, General Giro would probably agree with the importance of the Chinese army to Algiers.

The United States will not have any problems. After all, after the oil was shipped to Okinawa and Northeast China, the ultimate goal was to produce equipment and supplies for the US military.

As for the British side, although Montgomery was very upset about Zhang Chi, the Chinese army was just a transport ship to pass through the canal controlled by the Allies... If he didn't even agree, it would be a bit exaggerated, not to mention that the Chinese army had helped the Commonwealth Army defeat Rommel before this.

With this in mind, Montgomery could only nod and let go.

So a new "Silk Road" and a huge throughput "Silk Road" was opened...

The transport ships transported from Okinawa the equipment of the Saav Corps and the food that African people were short of, and the ones transported back were buckets of oil that Okinawa was urgently needed.

In this way, Okinawa can almost be said to be in short supply. Media, iron and other people can enter from Northeast China, oil from Africa, Okinawa is like a big machine, with various raw materials and energy transported in, and then finished products are transported out one by one. In the meantime, a large amount of surplus value is naturally created to enrich the wallets of the Okinawa people and the expeditionary forces... Of course, more importantly, in this production process, more and more people are exposed to machines and dealing with machines for a long time, working and studying. In addition, Zhang Chi has introduced talents in scientific research and invested funds, and constantly cultivated their own talents and embarked on a path of independent innovation.

Therefore, modern Internet is full of "China has no innovation ability" and "China can only imitate",

Remarks like "Chinese people have no creativity" and "Chinese cramming education kills people"...

Actually, this is a big misunderstanding.

Innovation is actually a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. That is to say, as the industrialization process deepens, people continue to learn in the process of using machines, and will naturally find out what shortcomings these machines have and find ways to transform in the direction of "more economical", "more convenient" and "faster"... This is innovation.

The reason why China lacked innovation compared with Western countries before this was not because "Chinese people have no creativity", and of course it was not because of the mistake of "Chinese cramming education".

The fundamental reason is that China's industrialization has been moving hundreds of years later than that of Western countries... When Western countries invented steam engines and applied them on a large scale to the factories and popularized them into the lives of the people, the Chinese still locked their country and grabbed their hoes, facing the loess and facing the sky.

Can you make any innovations when farming in the fields every day?

Only those who face the machine every day, thinking about how to make the machine faster, make it produce more products in a shorter time, and make more money for themselves, and are popularized by the people and the whole people have the opportunity to use their imagination and creativity.

From this point of view, "Chinese cramming education" not only does not hinder innovation, but instead creates conditions for innovation.

The reason is simple. All innovations are "standing on the shoulders of giants". Innovations are not created out of thin air and a slap in the head... It must have basic knowledge, and then people use imagination to create some different ideas and put them into practice.

"China's cramming education" is to "stuck" these basic knowledge into the minds of many Chinese people in the shortest time, and then there will be so many qualified labor in society. These laborers work while learning, and then there will be many innovations... In just a few decades of reform and opening up, China's innovation volume has jumped to the world's first place, and it is even more innovative than the number of innovations in the second, the United States and the third, Japan.

What’s ridiculous is that in modern times, there are still many people who advocate what the West calls “quality education”... Western countries have even begun to recognize their own mistakes.

The so-called "quality education" in the West is actually laissez-faire education. It always wants to cultivate students' personality and interests, but ignores the enlightenment education of basic knowledge. Without basic knowledge, no matter how smart the child is, his creativity is very limited... Denmark and Chinese middle school students had a competition. Denmark teachers were originally very confident in their students' creativity. As a result, after a test, they were surprised to find that Danish students' creativity is far inferior to Chinese students.

(The video has it on the Internet, title: "Denmark 9th Class z vs China Junior High School Class 13", four-episode documentary)

This is also one of the reasons why the UK, which has always been able to grasp the world trend, announced the implementation of the "Chinese model" in primary school mathematics classes across the country.

This is what Zhang Chi did at this time. He comprehensively promoted the industrialization of Okinawa and even Northeast China, allowing tens of millions of people to contact machines, use machines and use machines to produce them. This is a kind of "quantitative change".

There are tens of millions of people. In the process of labor and learning, as long as one person has a sudden idea every day, can he use this method to improve the machine to make it more efficient? Then there will be 365 "innovations" in a year, and it will develop into a "qualitative change".

Simply put, Zhang Chi is not only introducing foreign talents, but also cultivating domestic talents to create conditions and environment.

"General!" When Zhang Chi was pondering, Staff Liang handed him a telegram: "I came from Cairo, let you attend a meeting!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

He had known that there would be this meeting... because after seizing Sicily, Britain and the United States would of course be in dispute over the next direction of the offensive.

Zhang Chi even believed that the invitation to him was too late, and the discussion should have begun as soon as the Battle of Sicily ended, and Britain and the United States only allowed him to participate.
