Xiao Letian's plan is very pragmatic, he said that the ultimate goal of the Chinese is Britain, not a moment of arrogance, when everyone heard Xiao Letian's detailed explanation, this was relieved, and the expression on his face gradually eased.

Wang Huaiyuan: They still think that Xiao Letian has inflated himself because he won the tsarist Russia, and in terms of the land area of the Chinese, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 regular troops and a registered population of only more than 5 million, and they still dare to confront the British Empire? Isn't this a joke?

But then Xiao Letian's explanation made everyone present frown.

"What is the core conflict between countries? It is actually a competition for resources, ostensibly money, commercial interests, religion, culture, land...... But that's just the surface!"

"Resources, only resources are the core competitiveness, even the industrial revolution is just based on the abundance of resources, and a kind of improvement in production efficiency......"

"Isn't this difficult to understand? Actually, it's not difficult, for example, in Britain, no matter how many factories there are in the country, how many steam engines there are, how high their production efficiency is, but in the final analysis, there must be raw materials for processing, so that all kinds of industrial products can appear......

"It is precisely because of the mutual circulation of resources and industrial products that there will be money and commercial trade, which is the fundamental core competitiveness of the country......"

"If you want to develop the gem industry, then you have to make sure that you have the resources of the gem mine in your own hands, and if you want to develop the textile industry, you have to have cotton and wool, right?"

"A little more complicated, such as the Zhiyuan battleship under our feet, this is a combination of a variety of resources combined with mechanical deep-processing products, steelmaking, coke, chemicals, rubber, glass manufacturing, munitions machinery...... The convergence of various industries has made such a cross-era classic!"

"It is conceivable that if we and Prussia do not have coal, steel, nonferrous metals, rubber in our hands...... Without all kinds of resources, only technology and production equipment can do?"

Everyone nodded frequently, and Wang Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's true, not only industry, but even agriculture also has a ...... of resource competition."

"For example, in Britain today, they use cotton from North America and India, wool from Australia, grain from Odessa, and tea from China...... It can be said that the rich resources of the colonies around the world have come together to achieve the wealth of Britain. ”

"Not to mention anything else, in the grain industry alone, Britain is extremely dependent on the harvest of its overseas colonies!"

"That's right!" Xiao Letian stood up and said loudly, "You must always remember that sooner or later, we Chinese will have to clean up the mess on the mainland, and the biggest crisis for us is nothing else, the hundreds of millions of mouths on the mainland!"

When three or four billion China wants to solve the problem of food and clothing, will it be enough to rely on the output of the land on the mainland?

"Not enough, it must be not enough, this is the inevitable rise and fall of China's feudal dynasties for thousands of years, if it is enough, with the kindness and patience of the Chinese people, how can there be a revolution to change the dynasty?"

"You need land to grow food, you need land to grow cotton, you need land to grow vegetables and fruits, and you also need land for animal husbandry...... And the population is always growing upward, and once the limit value is broken, it will definitely be stretched!"

"Historically, once such a crisis has occurred in China, it is basically an unsolvable problem, an incurable terminal disease! No matter how glorious the dynasty is, no matter how powerful the emperor and general, he can only be helpless in the face of such a crisis!"

"When the problem is not effectively solved, it will develop towards the most terrible end, that is, the revolution! The destitute rebel in order to survive, the heads of the nobles and landlords and giant businessmen fall into the dust, and a large number of people will die out rapidly, until the amount of land on the mainland can afford ......."

"After a round of destruction and redistribution, a new dynasty rises, and another cycle begins to turn......"

Xiao Lotian sighed, "We Chinese can't take the old road! If we want to solve this problem that has not been solved for thousands of years, there is only one way, and that is to go abroad and colonize the whole world......

"The territory close to us, we use the method of direct Chinese expansion to directly occupy the land, just like Borneo, in the future, this will be our Chinese territory, and all the resources on it can feed back to our mother country!"

"This is not enough, for more distant regions, we need to carry out economic colonization, just like the chess piece of the lantern I laid in the Middle East, once he is established in the future, our capital will be able to expand here......"

"There will be a very important resource in the Middle East in the future, and we Chinese must lay out in advance, in the form of a joint-stock company and an alliance with these wealthy families in the Middle East, so as to ensure that we can buy the resources we want with money!"

"This is what I will do for Chinese in the future, I want to expand the land of the Chinese people on the Pacific coast, and we want to let the capital of the Chinese people spread all over the world...... There is only one purpose for everything, and that is resource security!"

"We Chinese have enough food to eat, enough cotton and wool, enough steel, non-ferrous metals, rubber, rare minerals...... Including the oil I used to talk about!"

"These things, counting on our territory of more than 1,000 square kilometers can't be solved, the only way is to go out and grab it, and use all kinds of ways to grab it!"

"Then think about it, if we grab more, do the British get less, and what will they do to us when they get less resources?"

"When the time comes, will they still welcome us like they do today? haha...... What can be done but give us a war then?"

"So when I say that Britain is our ultimate enemy in the future, it is not that I am belligerent, but that I clearly judge the inevitability of the development of history...... Sooner or later, Britain will do it to us!"

"I judge that it will not be more than thirty years!"

There was a bang, and there was a sound in the cabin, and after a while, Xiang Ying asked: "I firmly believe in the judgment of the Führer, it is true that when our hand reaches into the rice pot of the British, they will definitely not give up, and the British will definitely retaliate militarily at that time!"

"War will definitely be the first to take place on the sea, so the navy is the core of our future strategy......! The navy must be able to control East Asia within 10 years, the South China Sea within 20 years, and the western Pacific Ocean and even the Indian Ocean within 30 years......"

"It will not work without more than sixty ironclad ships! I ask the Führer for additional appropriation!"

Sima Yun frowned and said, "How easy is it to add additional funds...... A war in the Far East with Tsarist Russia has drained our finances, and we simply cannot achieve a fiscal surplus without more than ten years of recuperation!"

"No...... There's also a gold mine!" Xiang Ying said coldly, "Manchu Qing ...... As long as we can overthrow the Manchus and replace them, China's financial resources will be enough for us!"

"If you should tear your face, you will tear your face...... Sent troops to the Yangtze River...... Forming an alliance with the Hunan army to jointly occupy Jiangnan, resulting in a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, with the commercial ability of our Chinese people, the economy of Jiangnan will be restored in three years!"

"Use Jiangnan's financial resources to raise the navy!"
