For international mathematical journals, they can be divided into two categories, one is the four major journals, and the other is the others.

These four major journals are: Annals of Mathematics, Inventions Mathematicae, Acta Mathematica and Journal of The American Mathematical Society.

If ordinary people can post a message once, they will be able to have food and clothing in this life, and any university will open their arms for you.

Moreover, since the founding of the four major magazines, only a few dozen Chinese people have been able to publish articles on them. When they saw the magazine, they immediately occupied the headlines of major domestic media, and were incredibly popular.

But for Cheng Nuo, who is in the Republic of China, there are only two of the so-called four major magazines that can be submitted.

The reason for this is that neither "New Progress in Mathematics" nor "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" has been founded. One of these two brothers was founded in 1966 and the other was in 1988, which is half a century away from 1917.

So only the "Yearbook of Mathematics" and "Journal of Mathematics" are left to consider.

After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Nuo eliminated the Journal of Mathematics sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Although the World Mathematics Center is still in Europe at this time, with a series of mathematical giants such as Hilbert, Cantor, Adama, etc., which is not comparable to that of him at this moment, the "Mathematics Annual" is in the United States, and Europe is still in the quagmire of dire straits.

Moreover, "Mathematics Annual" was held at Harvard for 12 years. It was not until the year Cheng Nuo came to study in the United States that he moved to Princeton, and since then he has completely settled down.

As a student from Harvard mathematics, Cheng Nuo definitely has a certain first-mover advantage over others. Just putting his articles in front of the order of review is enough to save a lot of time.

At the same time, most of his classmates and tutors are in the United States, so it is more convenient to help rescue soldiers if you have any problems.

Furthermore, after gaining fame in the United States, it will be more convenient to make small money in the future, which can be said to be a bird of two stones.

In summary, the "Mathematical Annual" is the optimal solution.

After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo began to polish the manuscript to ensure that there was no problem with the grammar and data.

This is not a process of invention and creation, so Cheng Nuo soon finished copying the manuscript and prepared to send it out directly in the morning.

According to convention, normal people must look for the nearest post office when sending emails, and just write the address and post stamps and then finish it. But the problem is that this is in the Republic of China, so it is not simple.

After a while, I came to the General Postal Service. The staff looked at the address for a long time and finally shook their heads.

"I'm sorry, sir, I really can't help you, I can't send it."

"What's the problem? Is it wrong to write my address?" Cheng Nuo took back the email and read the address on the envelope carefully, but did not find any problems: "In addition to English, there is also a Chinese address, which does not affect delivery."

The staff member looked bitter and shook his head, "The problem is not you, but us."

After saying that, he spoke to the foreigner who was showing off his power to the porter: "We need to have a good conversation with our postman Johnson."

It turned out that the State Administration of Posts was still in the hands of foreigners at this time, similar to the police system when Hong Kong Island was colonized, and important positions were held by foreigners.

The Director of the Postal Service, the Chief of the Postal Service and the Deputy Chief of the Postal Service are all controlled by foreigners, and the Chinese cannot get in.

Even if he has outstanding abilities and becomes the postmaster, the salary of the Chinese people is much lower than that of them.

In addition, it is truly outrageous to bear the communication fees for these foreigners, such as chefs, nannies and even gardeners.

Cheng Nuo didn't want to give up, but he really didn't expect that he might fall in the delivery process: "Sir, can you deliver the letter after your postman is gone?"

The staff pondered for a moment, shook their heads again and said, "Yes, but you'd better not."

"How do you say this?"

Seeing that there was no one around, the staff lowered their voices and whispered: "I think you are also a knowledgeable gentleman. If you are not afraid of the loss of the letter, it is better to send it to the US guest mail office."

After saying that, he immediately pretended not to know Cheng Nuo and drove him away.

The guest post office is a subordinate agency of the post office. Is it responsible for overseas letters?

Of course not. Cheng Nuo soon inquired after going out that this was a genuine US government agency, which opened in Dongjiaomin Lane.

And when it comes to its origin, Cheng Nuo is really angry and funny.

This guest mail has to be counted from the 1970s, and the real Qing government's cause.

The Universal Postal Union, an international postal organization, invited it to the Qing government as early as 1878 to coordinate postal communication issues between countries.

But at this time, the Qing Dynasty's postal system was controlled by a British man named Hurd. Under his coaxing, the Qing government refused the invitation, saying that the time for joining was not ripe and he wanted to stay out of the world.

This kind of thinking is obviously too naive. If you don’t come, then I will take the initiative to go there.

Countries have set up passenger and mail offices in the country to handle international communications, and the Qing government has no right to inspect them.

As a result, the smuggling of drugs such as opium and morphine has further spread, and many cultural relics have gradually been lost overseas.

By the time the Qing government came to the scene, it was already too late. When they wanted to ban it, they told you clearly that because you did not join the Universal Postal Union, you could not communicate internationally with other countries and must be retained for international cooperation.

Helplessly, the Qing government wanted to apply to join.

You ignored me at the beginning, but now you want to exchange me for true love.

That must be unrealistic.

Under the pressure of British Hurd, another application failed.

It was not until the Qing government fell to the Republic of China that it officially joined the Universal Postal Union in 1914. Then in 1918, it joined the International Exchange of Insurance Letters and Boxes Agreement, and finally in 1920, it was considered to be officially in line with the International Postal Exchange Agreement.

It took half a century tossing in the middle, and it was so sad and tears.

As a representative of domestic postal humiliation, the Western powers gradually abolished the mail office in the 1920s, but Japan firmly disagreed. It was not until the end of the War of Resistance that it completely withdrew from the stage of history.

At this time, international correspondence exchanges are still the first choice for guest mail office.

Outside the U.S. Hub and Mail Office.

Looking at the receipt in his hand, Cheng Nuo shook his head, feeling full of melancholy.

Although the letter was sent out, it felt awkward no matter how you read it.

It's like I'm calling a friend at home and actually having to go through the consent of a stranger. It's unimaginable.

After all, it's still too immature and the idea is too simple.

The Republic of China was so big that it had a land area of ​​11.41 million square kilometers, second only to the Russians.

The Republic of China is so small that every stamp and every match has the shadow of foreigners, and they are controlled everywhere.

Colloquial terms such as foreign carts, foreign umbrellas, foreign porcelain basins, foreign alkalis, and foreign ash are still used in later generations, and their influence penetrates all aspects of our lives, and has not been completely eliminated after a century.

What should we do in the future development

No, he has mastered the general direction of technological development in the next century.

There will be times when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds are sailing across the sea.

The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down.
