Chapter 71 The Empire State Building and Malacca

At the Sayan Ridge Pass, the fierce battle has just ended.

There were blood-stained corpses everywhere in the dense forests, swamps, grasses and rivers, including Russians and Chinese infantry.

Song Qing walked silently with a grim expression, but he did not expect that the defeated Russians could organize fierce resistance and cause considerable trouble to the Imperial Team.

On the side of the dense forest, several soldiers hurried over with a body. The one who walked in front was a regiment commander.

When they saw Song Qing, they hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, and the regiment commander shouted: "Report to the military gate! Kill a Russian general."

Song Qing looked at the blood-stained body, reached out to take out a piece of paper similar to an identity card from his pocket, and the translator hurriedly took it.

The three major war zones are equipped with Russian translations of varying numbers, which can be equipped at the battalion level as appropriate. The simple words such as "disarming and not killing, surrendering and not killing" in Russian are also promoted throughout the army.

"I am the commander of the 17th Russian Division, Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev."

Song Qing did not hear the strange pronunciations clearly afterwards, but just waved his hand and continued to walk forward.

...

At the same time in Beijing, Ye Zhaozheng met with Mikhail Alexander Rovich Bakuning.

Mikhail Alexander Rovich Bakunin, a Russian, one of the most influential figures in the First International, a famous anarchist.

Of course, he was extremely disdainful of the party and youth organizations, and had huge differences with the ideas of most secret Russian communities, because he advocated the immediate destruction and destruction of all countries, and only the elimination of state can be capital, exploitation and enslavement. He proposed that to destroy the state, continuous riots must be carried out, and all parties have value only when violently destroying state rule.

Ye Zhao met Bakuning after having lunch with Sharava's family. Now, Sharava's family, including his grandfather, have moved to the Tianjin Concession to live. He came to Beijing a few days ago. In the past two days, Ye Zhao met with Sharava's grandfather and his father frequently.

Ye Zhao met Bakuning in the Equal Life Building.

The Equal Living Building is the tallest building in the world today. It uses a brand new steel frame structure, with a height of eight floors and 45 meters, which is slightly taller than the housing insurance building that is being built in New York City, America at the same time.

This is a tall building with a strong Chinese style. In fact, it is not until Ye Zhao's instructions that today's architects not only use the least materials and the least cost and the most stable model to erect the building, and it must be perfect in all aspects such as beauty, feng shui and other aspects.

In Ye Zhao's view, the appearance of this eight-story pavilion is somewhat similar to the Yellow Crane Tower rebuilt later, but the eaves and corners are slightly simplified, and the corners of the sixteen-eaves are not raised high like the Yellow Crane Tower, but the hip roof is slightly underneath, with less hideous ruggedness, and the Chinese-style leisure and life atmosphere is more intense.

The entire building is majestic and can be regarded as a model for the combination of Chinese style and high-rise buildings.

Because the empire strictly limited the height of buildings in the old city of Jingshi, this building was located in the satellite city that emerged in the west of Tongzhou in the east of Jingshi.

Needless to say, the owner of the building is Ye Zhao, but it is operated by a trading company under the Taihe Group.

In Ye Zhao's opinion, the Equal Life Building has a strange natural name, but now it has a new ideological characteristics and is also sought after by white-collar workers in the capital. As a living and living building, more than two-thirds of the units have been rented out.

The satellite city's trams lead directly to the old city, and there is no traffic jam now. Therefore, most middle-class people in the new city and old city have occupants.

For Ye Zhao, he naturally did not think of making money through this building. The meager rent is insignificant compared to the high cost. If you remove the maintenance costs, you don’t know when you will recover the capital. If you want to make money, you should build a hotel. However, Huang Wenxiu, who is responsible for overall supervision of design and construction, naturally would not think that the emperor still needs to remind himself, let alone think that the emperor treats silver as money.

Bakuning, who Ye Zhao met in Room 801 on the top floor, was not rented out on the entire eighth floor.

Although Bakuning was a little regretful for not being able to enter the mysterious Chinese palace to feast his eyes, this towering oriental building still opened his eyes. The elevator cage, the lights and telephones, and this building are almost the microcosm of this booming empire.

Meeting himself in a civilian building, he couldn't help but feel refreshed about the Chinese emperor in a hazy sense of mystery.

Therefore, when Ye Zhao and him were sitting on the sofa and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the sky through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Bakuning was not too surprised.

The translation of the Great Emperor, wearing white clothes and white pants, the sexy and indescribable Russian girl turned out to be the Great Emperor's concubine, which made Bakunning feel a little incredible.

Sitting by the window and looking at the bustling block, I couldn't help but make people feel proud that the world is all under my feet.

Sharava's face is still so tender and beautiful, with an angel face and a devilish figure, but she doesn't look like a young woman who has been married for more than ten years. And she is still easy to get confused every time she is in front of Ye Zhao, but she can naturally translate her native language at will.

Ye Zhao sipped the tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Bakuning, I agree with many of your views. For example, if you think that if the dictatorship of the proletariat is not cautious, it will evolve into a more powerful and harmful class rule system for the new proletariat, and I agree with this very much."

After hearing Sharava's translation, Bakuning raised his head in surprise. Although the Chinese emperor's extensive knowledge had already surprised him in just a few minutes of conversation, and what was even more surprising was that the Chinese emperor had a very good understanding of all kinds of thoughts in the world today, especially theories in the line struggle involving the First International. The emperor could be called "seeing the fire".

Although Bakuning is a Russian, for theorists who believe that they have a lofty mission to explore the world structure of fairness and justice, the people of the world have no distinction between nationality, only the difference between oppression and oppression.

Ye Zhao knew them a little, just like some of the people who sacrificed their lives to establish a new China, these people had firm beliefs and lofty ideals, and truly felt that their actions were to liberate the working people all over the world. However, based on the values ​​of moral decline in later generations, the thoughts of many martyrs became naive.

As for Mr. Bakuning, one of the founders of anarchists, many theories are fantastic, but their understanding of social problems is often to the point.

This era of thoughts contending and blooming, and various thoughts emerge one after another. In this gorgeous era, it seems that everyone can be baptized.

Sitting with Mr. Bakuning, the founder of the anarchist, made Ye Zhao feel even more strange. After all, this old man is fighting against Mr. Marx for the leadership of the First International.

While tasting the tea, Ye Zhao asked with a smile: "Mr. Bakuning, do you think there are many problems in my country?"

Bakuning was even more surprised that in Europe, all the ruling classes regarded him as a plague, and the ruler of the most powerful country in the East would ask such questions. If the Chinese emperor did not know his theories and the theories of the First International, he could also think that the Chinese emperor mistakenly thought he was a scholar, but the problem was that this was not the case at all.

Although the emperor was very friendly to him, Bakuning spoke without hesitation and said: "Human nature is freedom. All forms of state exist opposite to individual freedom. Therefore, it is an organization that violates human nature. The state should be eliminated and a federated united with a bottom-up freedom commune. All individuals and groups in the federated unit are absolutely free and not controlled by any power. This is the perfect social form."

Ye Zhao smiled. If he could not argue with him, absolute freedom is not free. Although Bakuning's thoughts have not formed a real system, its theoretical basis is still very strict. The meaning of absolute freedom is different from the so-called "absolute freedom" when later generations criticized him.

"Maybe, maybe the social form in the future will really be as my husband said." Ye Zhao stood up, came to the window, hugged his arms and looked at the earth beneath his feet, with a quiet look on his face.

Ba Kuning never expected the Chinese emperor to reply to him like this. After being surprised again and again, his favor gradually arises in his heart. This mysterious emperor of the East is completely different from any ruler he has seen in the past.

It's like he can see thousands of miles away without any narrow subjective consciousness.

Bakuning also stood silently by Ye Zhao. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Your Majesty, you are the most generous emperor I have ever seen. If you want your people to obtain true equality and freedom, then can you help me to conduct experiments on reforming the social structure, and lend me a small piece of land with your supreme power. A small town can satisfy my small ambitions."

Ye Zhao was stunned and laughed. This old man actually wanted to go to China to develop anarchist experimental field. The clan elders in our village are enough for you to drink a pot.

Inviting Bakuning was to join the secret societies such as the Russian People's Opinion Party. But now, Ye Zhao looked at Bakuning, and a deep thought gradually flashed in his eyes.

...

The 17th Division, the elite Russian army, was launched on the headlines of major newspapers in the form of a quick news and together with the "Kizil Victory".

There was also the battle report of Han Jinchun's army conquering several Russian fortresses in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.
