Volume VIII 1220 Greedy Tsarist Russia

Next chapter

"It's a sharp question, it's good, and that's the main reason why I had to do such a huge amount of espionage before...... I have to study the psychology of the enemy, it's not so easy for the cunning big fish to take the bait, we have to use their greed, fear, and arrogance smartly......"

Xiao Letian's whole person has entered the state of speech, his eyes are blazing, his hands are exaggerated and firm, his voice is very magical, and the aura of the whole person has controlled the entire hall.

"Greed! This is the original sin of mankind, and the Russians are far more greedy than the other European powers, why......?

"The CIA branch in Europe has sent numerous top-secret information showing that Russia's finances are now in a state of exhaustion, and that their abolitionist policy has been carried out quickly but not completely, and that only on the territory of Western Europe can the landlords receive part of the arrears for the purchase of land, remembering that it is only a part of the arrears......"

"In the more remote areas, abolition was largely forcibly promoted in the form of IOUs, and even in the more remote wilderness, local governors did not bother to enforce it...... One qiē and one qiē is because the tsar has no money and their treasury is empty......"

"The whole abolitionist policy seems to me to be an act of state redemption led by the tsar, that is, the tsar uses state funds to buy slaves from the hands of the landlords and then emancipate them......"

"It's very humane, isn't it? It's fair and reasonable, isn't it? The serfs have been liberated, the interests of the landlord class will not be greatly damaged, and the entire empire has escaped the danger of turmoil and even turmoil, and it looks beautiful on the surface!"

Xiao Lotian curled the corner of his left mouth and said with a wicked smile: "But this kind of beauty is nothing more than a rainbow after the rain, beautiful but meaningless, and even this kind of policy has affected the national interests of Russia, I am sure that in the future, Alexander II will definitely be admired by countless people because of the abolition policy, and his reputation is skyrocketing, but his Tsarist Russian Empire is also destined to collapse because of his policy!"

The generals present looked left and right, and no one could understand what Xiao Lotian meant, but Xiao Lotian didn't sell it, he clenched his fists and slammed it on the world map and said coldly.

"Squeezing the finances of the empire to emancipate the serfs, and even taking out financing loans from European bankers, at the expense of staking the credit of the state as collateral...... This policy benefited the serfs and landlords, but Russia also lost a great opportunity for deep industrialization......"

"Don't be surprised, I can tell you an accurate number, as of last year, the steel production of Tsarist Russia, which is huge across Europe and Asia, is actually equal to that of Prussia, a rising star!"

"The total length of railways in Russia was surpassed by Prussia! Machine-building factories, shipyards, chemical plants, textile factories...... and so on in the number of light and heavy industrial enterprises, Prussia has also surpassed Russia!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what a terrible set of numbers? Prussia is less than one-tenth the size of Russia, but now that the value of industrial output has surpassed that of Russia, is it not worth pondering?"

"Hehe, Alexander II seems to be a male lord on the surface, but in my eyes, he is actually a cautious coward! Hmph, even the landlord class in the country did not dare to suppress it, and wasted the great opportunity of the second industrial revolution in vain, and such a country can be passed down to the third generation, even if it is considered to be the top of the sky......"

Xiao Lotian is not wrong, after the death of Alexander II in history, sure enough, the tsar only passed on for two generations, and in the hands of Nicholas II, the Great Revolution broke out, and the tsar's family was slaughtered.

"It is also a policy of abolition, why did US President Lincoln dare to wage a brutal civil war? A bloody civil war in the United States completely suppressed the economies of the South, and the industrial capital of the North began to expand frantically......"

"I'm sure that the United States will definitely have more stamina than Tsarist Russia! because a civil war has wiped out all the opposition forces, and the war seems to cost a lot of money, but compared with Alexander II's moderate redemption policy, war is actually the least effective means!"

"You ponder and ponder, the United States can pay money to buy Alaska in Russia after fighting a civil war, which has proved that although there are many dead in the American civil war, the destruction of wealth is not very great, and the country and big capitalists still have sufficient funds in hand to carry out the industrial revolution!"

"Isn't this a joke? The United States, which boasts freedom and democracy, has chosen to use war to implement a New Deal, while Russia, represented by the tsarist dictatorship, has actually chosen to implement a New Deal through peaceful redemption? I think history will always give the answer......

Such a subtle explanation, in the 19th century, few people except Xiao Letian could really say it, and the limited few people who knew this deep imperial technique probably would not take it out and share it with his subordinates.

Therefore, Xiao Lotian was the only one in the 19th century who was willing to share with his subordinates, and this good habit became a cornerstone of the future prosperity of Chinese talents.

"Okay, silly boys! Now you should be more able to understand what it means to know people and faces, but not to know your heart, right? Sometimes, don't look at what the other side says, don't look at superficial articles, don't start from the political system of a country, please start from the history of this country, only in this way can you dig deep into the truth......

"Take, for example, a country that has been playing hooligans throughout history, no matter what its state system is democratic, republican, constitutional monarchy, or even imperial...... No matter how glamorous he flaunts his appearance, in fact, the country that is used to playing hooligans will still play hooligans in the future, and it doesn't matter what clothes he wears!"

"We have said more than once that the world we are in now is a critical period for the first industrial revolution to move towards the second industrial revolution, and whoever can enter the country of the second industrial revolution first, who picks the peach first, will naturally have a developed industry, a strong military, and a ...... technological progress."

The Tsar does not understand this truth, or he understands but does not have the courage to launch a revolution from within, so the war between him and us is doomed to fail, because the pattern of bearing is not at all a level!"

"Now you understand, right? Tsarist Russia, which is in a serious financial crisis, no longer has the right to be picky eaters, and he has to grasp every life-saving straw, so they must get the gold on Amami Island, all we have to do is to amplify their greed step by step!"
