A weak country has no diplomacy. This famous saying reveals the backstage and strength needed by diplomacy from its essence and roots. Although the Southwest is not a country at present, it is just a warlord force. However, in July 1937, diplomats from all walks of life filled the various high-end hotels in the southwest. The Southwest Business Department keenly discovered the high value-added income of business tourism and conference tourism.

Many diplomatic and government officials have been to Pingguo County, the core of the southwest for the first time; when they arrived here, everyone was shocked by the tremendous development and changes here in the past twenty years; wide and clean cement roads, endless traffic flow, neat and orderly houses on both sides under unified planning, bustling crowds, beautiful green belts, and street lights on both sides of the road. The rich commercial atmosphere connects a huge industrial area. The rumbling sound of machines. Huge trailers transport various parts and semi-finished products from numerous downstream processing factories of single parts to the upstream assembly production lines. Everything is quickly completed under the requirements of high efficiency, low energy consumption, and high standards. This brings a strong visual auditory and thinking shock to all.

It's like producing a car. Now the Southwest has opened up the authority and technology for processing and production of various parts to many investors. This allows many parts to be produced and processed in a single processing factory. Tens of thousands of parts can be continuously processed and produced from nearly a thousand factories and sent to the production line of the assembly workshop for assembly. This not only reduces production costs, but also greatly increases output. It can also enhance the improvement of the overall industrial level. Although single specialized processing reduces the profits of downstream factories, it also forces them to improve their processing accuracy and innovation in processing technology to stand out in product quality. Reduce costs in innovative processing technology.

What is even more surprising in the Southwest is the training of first- and middle- and senior technical workers in the process of industrial development. As people who have come from later generations, Duan Guoxue is well aware of the role of senior technical workers in the entire industrial technology system. It is not enough to just cultivate senior engineers in various science and technology schools. Engineers only transform their thoughts into drawings. They lack the skills to convert drawings into parts. They also require many middle- and senior technical production personnel's superb technology in the production process and actual supervision capabilities in the front-line production process.

Similarly, in production, machines are controlled by humans. The level of technical level of the operator can directly affect the quality of the product. The increase or decrease of defective product rates. All factory owners know that the parts that a senior technical worker can process in a day are five times that of junior technical worker. The defective rate is only one-tenth of that of junior technical worker.

Therefore, the various technical work competitions held in the southwest every July have become a grand event. Here, the owners and owners of each factory hope that the senior technical workers in their factory will get a good ranking. You should know that measuring the level of a factory in the southwest is not just about how good your equipment is. The number of senior technical workers and the number of winners has also become an important indicator of measurement.

What's different this year is that the scale of this year's competition has not only expanded, but also expanded from competitions only in factories and between the same industries to competitions across industries. Even competitions with agricultural skills. More importantly, from the original audience who only traveled with peers directly in the square and under the gaze of all the audiences. This alternative competition first attracted the attention of a large number of people in the southwest, and also attracted representatives of various forces who came to discuss and meet to watch.

In the competition, various technical talents demonstrate the technical instincts exercised in work. Everyone here has unique skills. The competitions on the field are often not over yet. The competitions off the field have already begun. In the preliminary round of the fitter competition, many people have completed the required accuracy and speed within the specified time and entered the rematch. In order to pass the extra time, they have shown their strength and put pressure on others. Several people took off the watch on their wrists and put them on the fitter table. They glued some lubricated paste butter on the watch glass case. They waved the large fitter hammer to swing the watch case. The butter on the glass case was stuck a little bit by bit with the fitter hammer.

This private competition is very interesting. It is also a private competition for workers to include self-confidence and show-off. The fitter's hammer falls off. If it falls high, it will not be stained with butter. If it falls low, it will smash the glass case. Without millions of hammering exercises in more than ten years of work, it will not be able to control such control accuracy up to millimeters. At the same time, without absolute trust in the flexibility and feeling of your arms and wrists, such hammering can't be achieved.

To be able to reach such a level is not just for good looking. This means that these senior technical workers already have a very high technical level. This training for hammering alone represents his strength in the trench. They can even blindfold a piece of iron block that is ten millimeters thick to create a uniform and translucent horizontal line. Having such a level means that they can produce the required parts faster, better and more accurately in production.

This kind of private competition often makes the audience applause shockingly. In fact, many audiences come to watch the competition for these non-processed parts. The boring technical competition is just a traditional project of the Ministry of Industry. However, bringing skills at work to daily life to complete some seemingly ordinary competitions can make people talk more relish. Like forklifts to open bottle caps, crane needles and targets, screws to remove clothes from the movie "Modern Times" by Chaplin Master's "Modern Times", the screws are removed from clothes, and women in the clothing factory fold clothes quickly, etc. There are too many projects that allow workers to conduct project competitions that are both entertaining and testing professional skills. Just like Mao Agou, the post office and the telecommunications bureau, in which a few people sort as quickly and accurately as paper sprayers, present a snowflake-like film in front of the audience. The scene is not only beautiful, but also in combination with the music played by the large speakers, which makes people feel another kind of beauty in work and life.

The skill competition lasted for a week. Chinese studies have also appeared several times during this week. However, they all appeared in a hurry at the award ceremony after the competition and then disappeared mysteriously. This caused some people who were not concerned about this kind of competition to watch the competition. In order to look forward to meeting with them as soon as possible, they took the lead.

But what was disappointing and expected was that although Duan Guoxue only appeared six times in seven days, he had only talked with the Northeast Young Marshal's personnel for less than five minutes. Although only these five minutes, the personnel sent by the Northeast Young Marshal had completed the task assigned by the Northeast Young Marshal - he obtained a license to purchase 20,000 Type 8 rifles, 100 light machine guns, and 3 million bullets and 100,000 grenades.

The success of the young coach in the Northeast has stimulated many other domestic forces who are not interested in skill competitions. They waited for the various competition venues every day, hoping for the emergence of Duan Guoxue. However, for some representatives, watching this kind of competition with the bitter people is really an insult to them.

Representatives like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, Shanxi, etc. expressed great disgust and sarcastic attitude towards these painful competitions. For them, this competition is the entertainment of these mud legs and black-handed blue-collar people.

But not everyone scoffs at this kind of work skills competition. Representatives of other domestic forces and many foreign ambassadors and envoys have shown strong interest and great attention to this kind of competition. Not only do they use the camera in their hands, but they frequently take pictures of various competition scenes with the portable film and film machines. At the same time, they also use their own identities to take photos with these skilled workers. All of this fell into the eyes of the people of the Commercial Bureau.

When the last competition was over, the people were discussing who was better and more outstanding in the competition on the way home. These diplomats also discussed the purpose and purpose of Duan Guoxue's arrangement of this competition in their own internal affairs.

"Your Excellency. I think we can use the list of these skilled workers we know to infiltrate, corrupt, win over, and buy them. This will not only obtain these high-tech talents, but also reduce the technical strength of the Southwest industry. If it really doesn't work, we can even assassinate these people!!"

"I agree with what you said before. The technical level of these people is the senior talent that our empire lacks and needs. It is naturally the best to be able to use it for me. Immediately send a message to the Intelligence Department and order them to contact and win over the people on the list immediately. Given the particularity of our identities, we can start the work from their families."

"Hi Yi!!"

"Madam. We have invited some of the winners from this competition to come to the hotel to have a meal and meet you."

"Thank you for your hard work." Madam, I don't know why you have such a noble identity that requires condescending meetings with these mud legs and craftsmen."

"Ah... you don't know. Although these people are low, they are the senior talents we lack the most now. With such talents, Darling will not be worried about the lack of weapons and ammunition in his hands."

"So that's it. The villain is stupid. He almost missed the big affairs of his wife and the president."

"Forget it. You can arrange the invitations for these people first. Although we are not doing well now, we still have the identities authorized by the mother of the country and the president. I believe that for ordinary people, such reception is a kind of honor and difficult good thing. They will be interested in agreeing."

"The villain will do it now. It will definitely live up to the wife's expectations."

"And, make the reception scene better. Don't lose the president's face too much."

"Yes. It will definitely do it."

"Minister Si, Vice Minister Yu, I remember you have been here once."

"Yes. It's been nearly twenty years. I've come back here again. We can't believe what's happening in front of us. You know, in front of this building and the factory, there is a desolate and overgrown weeds. It's only been less than twenty years. I really don't believe how he did this."

"I went to their development exhibition hall to learn about it. They gave many preferential conditions for investors. For example, tax cuts, prioritizing the construction of industrial areas with complete infrastructure such as transportation, water and electricity to attract investors to invest and protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors. This made many investors very satisfied with the investment and production environment here. This prompted many people to come and invest in property."

"But isn't this a typical capitalist act? It's the surplus value of the naked exploitation workers!!!"

"But do you see these workers have complaints and dissatisfaction? The workers we contact at will are very satisfied with their current treatment and situation. I have understood that the people here clearly understand the principle of how much they work and how much they work. Everyone is desperately pursuing increasing their labor skills to create more wealth of their own. I have also told them about the collective system and public ownership. But they just kept me speechless with the argument that creation is not proportional to the return. It seems that after these twenty years of development and construction, the people here have formed their own thinking and social views on labor thoughts. They identify with the strong people in production and worship these strong people. They despise those lazy people who rely on making up for their lives and work hard."

"But in this way, by stimulating and promoting productivity with material rewards, how can we compare to the working class armed with ideological and spiritual weapons?!"

"No. Their theory is very practical and intuitive. They constantly shape the spiritual image of these excellent laborers. At the same time, they also effectively implement the high income of these excellent workers. The excellent workers I have come into contact with can have an income close to that of a factory manager or even greater than the income of the factory manager. And they encourage innovation, pioneering research and progress, and use intuitive economic and material means to stimulate everyone to work hard automatically and consciously."

"Does those capitalists not want to exploit the greatest surplus value? Let their employees take away their income and profits?! I don't believe it! I absolutely do not believe that these parasites that only rely on blood sucking have such kind hearts?!"

"I couldn't believe it at first. But after I learned in detail about their system and legal system, I understood why these capitalists could tolerate the issuance of high wages and bonuses. Because they first had a sound legal system after spending more than ten years of exploration and practice. They used the legal system to restrict the capitalists from exploiting and exploiting the surplus value of workers and workers. At the same time, they also ensured the acquisition of various interests of workers and capitalists. Although I can't fully understand the relationship, at least I understand that they are already on a level of balance of interests that both parties can recognize. And they have effective means of coordinating the occurrence and resolution of contradictions. And......"

“And what?”

"And because they encourage innovation, they continuously reduce production costs and pursue the development of new products and technologies, they have enabled their products to stand upstream of profits. It is such high profit upstream revenue that gives them enough funds and material rewards to conduct in-depth technical research and product research. The virtuous cycle has created capitalists to clearly recognize the necessary cycle process of encouraging employees to develop and innovate to obtain greater profit income."

"So we must not underestimate Duan Guoxue and his subordinates. He is not a simple armed warlord who can only invent products and have the strength of our jealousy. He also has rich experience and practical practitioners who resolve social production contradictions, interests distribution contradictions and even stimulate productivity contradictions!!!"

"Mr. Goering. I am very surprised that the Southwest has so many senior industrial workers. At the same time, I am also shocked by their enthusiasm for work far exceeding our Germans and their work attitude and style that is stricter and more meticulous than our Germans."

"Adminton, I also have the same feelings as you. Although I had reached the same consensus with my head of state before I came here, I realized that the true meaning of the Chinese saying "It is better to see" than to see at first sight. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe these things. But our old Chinese friends are indeed too mysterious and have too many surprises for us. If we were not used to this surprise, I believe we would have dislocated mouths to those Japanese fishermen, British John Cattle and even Americans." "Yes, Mr. Goering, especially those British John Cattle. He kept shaking his head left and right and said that this was impossible! And my God! These repeated and unnutritious words. The Americans' reaction was relatively normal. He kept asking and receiving a very strong interest in the new agricultural, commercial and civilian products that appeared in the southwest."

"This is normal. The British John Bull first carried out the industrial revolution and has been at the forefront of the world. Although it is now beginning to be affected by the pursuit of other countries and the decline in their own strength, hundreds of years of arrogance will not disappear easily from their bones. The United States is a free business country. They have a high degree of pragmatism and a sense of pursuit of money and interests. They will naturally have interests associations and pursuits for anything new. But adjutant. Do you still see the intention of Duan Guoxue to arrange this competition and activity for us?"

"Other intentions? Sorry. I didn't see any other intentions."

"This is why I am more interested in Duan Guoxue now. The battle some time ago made us all see the military strength of the Southwest. But this skill competition was when he was telling us and others in disguise - the foundation of the industrial strength of the Southwest."

"Yes!! I just want to reveal some industrial strength to show them!!!" Duan Guoxue took off the award-giving dress and changed into casual clothes while answering the questions raised by several bigwigs around him. "They will all get some news from various channels for military things. I believe that these incomplete news and data will arouse their interest. But as our industrial strength, this strength is not to disclose how many factories, minerals, and output value we have. Moreover, most of these data need to be kept confidential; therefore, I will show them how many high-tech industrial workers we have in the southwest. And this number is also inaccurate. I didn't see how many senior technicians appeared in this competition. What's more, more intermediate technicians did not come to participate. Some data that are clearly recognized can make them more convinced and recognized by the real and real data than giving them a series of data."

"But this will also reveal the identities of us senior technicians, which will bring trouble to their future work and life. I am worried that someone will instigate them..." Sun Lida is nearly 60 years old, but he is still fighting on the front line.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, as long as you are interested, you can collect information on this from the Ministry of Industry and the excellent employees of various factories. In the southwest, where we are proud of high productivity, these public secrets cannot be preserved. And now some people have begun to notice this. Our President Jiang's wife has begun to invite our outstanding employees to meet and have dinner together. But I don't have to worry at all. Because our excellent employees in the southwest know who gives them their current high-income welfare benefits. Moreover, China's moral concepts are still very heavy. Betrayal is still not an absolute benefit. The bosses of our factory in the southwest have given enough benefits. We must also believe that these workers have not only taken root in the southwest and have settled their households. At the same time, they have received loyalty and faith education since their school days."

"But what about the assassination? We have noticed that Japanese intelligence agencies are beginning to test and contact and investigate these employees!"

"Assassination? There is obviously enough bait to lift all kinds of big fish up. The people from the Commercial Bureau of Security have been getting tired of being next to the confidential information room every day. They can get some breath and exercise more in the environment to better prepare for future intelligence work."

"It turns out that the commander-in-chief has such an arrangement..."

"I have not only shown them some things in the southwest of our openness. I also want to give them some things in the dark that they can know. Do you see people sent by some domestic forces? They don't even bother to watch the game. Because they have not realized that the senior technical talents we show represent a hint of the overall industrial strength level of our southwest. Since they can't understand it, it means that they do not have long-term strategic vision and prerequisites for cooperation. This hint was understood by foreign representatives. Because after all, they also have their own industries. They can feel what it means to have a large number of senior technical industrial workers in a country."

"No wonder Germany and the United States have shown considerable interest and attitude towards our skills competition."

"With so many senior technical industry workers, it means what level we have in the southwest in machinery, metallurgy, minerals, chemicals and other industries. A senior worker is usually followed by hundreds of intermediate technicians. An intermediate technician is also a target of surpassing nearly a thousand junior technicians. This ratio is open. Only when our mind is not stupid can we roughly calculate the overall production capacity of our industry."

"But I know. There are still many senior skilled workers who are not participating in the competition this time."

"Of course. These are all backbones in secret units. They already have enough reputation and income."

"If one day such a senior technician reaches a terrible number, what will you do?" The last question was Duan Guoxue's future wife.
