Chapter 486 My Era

If you could travel back in time and meet great people, what would you say to them?

This is a question worth pondering, and it must trigger the desire of many people to express themselves, and everyone wants to say different things.

When this opportunity was placed in front of Jiang Wanwan, she was excited but at a loss.

She wanted to say, thank you for your hard work, one generation has fought for several generations and suffered so much. She

wanted to say, if you hold on a little longer, we will soon win. She wanted to say

that on October 1, 1949, the new China was founded! She wanted to

say...

Jiang Wanwan wanted to tell them all the content that Teacher Wei and the others wanted to know.

But she couldn't do it, not only did she not have that much time, but she also had no way to say it out loud.

So Jiang Wanwan said, "Then let me tell you about the era I live in!"

Since we can't reveal modern information due to the system blocking problem, let's talk about modern times!

"I come from December 2024. In less than a month, it will be 2025. There will be a day off on New Year's Day, but it's a pity that the holiday is too short. I guess many people can't go home."

"But it doesn't matter. It's more than 20 days before the New Year. Everyone can go home by then. But at this time of year, buying tickets is a big problem!"

After hearing Jiang Wanwan talk about modern things, Teacher Wei and Mr. Hu were immediately interested. Even the Red Army soldiers who were mopping the floor behind them couldn't help but listen.

"Buying tickets, is it because there are too few trains for transportation?" Mr. Hu asked with some concern.

"Of course not. China's railway mileage ranks second in the world. In addition, we have many airplanes, high-speed trains and cars. Oh, high-speed trains are a kind of high-speed railways, which can reach two or three times the speed of trains."

"Second in the world? High-speed railways? Great!" Hu Gong nodded.

Teacher Wei grasped the key point and asked curiously: "If so, why do we still fight for tickets?" "

Because there are too many people going home! I heard that during the Spring Festival last year, the total flow of people in society was more than 400 billion. Oh, the country currently has 1.4 billion people!"

These huge and unattainable figures made people stunned.

After a while, Teacher Wei came back to his senses, nodded and murmured to himself: "Good, more people is good!"

After Hu Gong was happy, he asked worriedly: "Can the country support so many people?"

"Yes, our country is now the second largest economy in the world, and its contribution to the world economy exceeds 30%!"

"This is good, then everyone can eat enough, no one should be hungry anymore, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, 99% of people will have food to eat. For example, the self-heating rice, buns, chocolate, fruits and the like that I brought this time are affordable for ordinary people!"

Hearing this, a strange voice suddenly sounded, and asked in disbelief: "Can ordinary people really afford these precious foods? Ordinary people?"

Jiang Wanwan looked up and found that the Red Army soldiers who were sitting in circles in front of the supermarket and eavesdropping were sitting in circles.

They may not really believe what Jiang Wanwan said about their own origins, but they can't help but fantasize about the world she described.

"Yes, ordinary people can eat it every day. Those with poor conditions at home can eat it once every three to five days or a week. There is no problem at all." Jiang Wanwan answered seriously.

A joyful voice suddenly rang out, "That's great. If you can have a full stomach, your body will definitely be healthy. As long as you farm well

and don't get sick, you can live in peace until old age." "Don't be afraid if you get sick, we have medical insurance now!"

"What is medical insurance?"

"It's the money for medical treatment. You pay part of it yourself, and the government reimburses part of it."

Jiang Wanwan gave a brief explanation, and then talked about a series of other national policies.

"Now people can farm and don't have to pay taxes. The state also gives them subsidies. When they are old, if they don't have children or relatives, the state will help them with their old age, provide them with a place to live, and give them money every month to support their lives."

"In addition, the state also subsidizes children's education. It's called nine-year compulsory education, which means that the state will waive tuition fees for children to study until the ninth grade."

"What? The state reimburses for illness, farming doesn't require taxes and subsidies, the state provides old age care, and children are exempted from tuition fees?" The Red Army was stunned.

Someone asked in disbelief: "It feels like a fairyland. Is there really such a good country?"

"Yes, it will be born in the near future, and it will be inseparable from the efforts of each of you!" Jiang Wanwan answered with certainty.

"Good, good, great!"

The Red Army soldiers murmured to themselves, ecstatic. Some cried and laughed, and some laughed and cried.

In the excitement, someone asked: "With such a good life, will the country still be bullied? Will there still be wars?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere on the scene stagnated, and everyone's excited emotions suddenly cooled down. Everyone looked at Jiang Wanwan with trepidation.

Jiang Wanwan paused for a moment, then announced in a sonorous and powerful voice: "In 2024, the new China, as the world's second largest military power, no one dares to bully us!"

"We have 2 million active troops, four or five thousand tanks, tens of thousands of armored vehicles, four or five thousand artillery vehicles, thousands of rocket launchers, and nuclear bombs!"

"There are thousands of military aircraft, more than a thousand fighter jets, hundreds of armed helicopters and transport aircraft, hundreds of warships, dozens of submarines, and three aircraft carriers!"

These are not specific data, but Jiang Wanwan learned them after having more contact with the military in recent months. Now he is learning and applying them.

As the Red Army soldiers listened to the equipment being counted, they felt their blood and souls boiling uncontrollably.

Great! With so many weapons and equipment, the country of the future will no longer be as dilapidated and poor as it is now!

Jiang Wanwan continued to answer the next question without hiding anything.

"I have never seen a war since I was born. There have been frequent wars in foreign countries in the past two years, and perhaps it will affect our country at any time."

"But we are not afraid. The country is always prepared. We are no longer in the era of backwardness and being beaten. We are confident that we can protect all citizens and territories!"
