1076 Shaw's Liqueur!
Xiao Letian was reluctant to talk about the changes in the international political situation in the next hundred years, and he said to Matthew with a smile: "Dear old friend, after all, I am the prime minister of the Ryukyus, and I also have my staff group, and we still have our own analysis and judgment of the international situation!"
"I never considered myself a god, I was just a politician who was willing to open his eyes to the world, take in a lot of information and be willing to analyze, nothing ......more"
Matthew was stunned, he nodded and smiled and stopped asking questions, and at this moment the diplomat's quality prevailed. But when he returned to his residence after the banquet, Matthew's diary recorded the thrilling day.
"Xiao Lotian really lives up to his reputation, he takes into account the ancient philosophical ideas of the East and the political outlook of Western pragmatism, and he is able to make his own judgment on the international situation, which is very rare among all political figures in Asia!"
"I thought he was just a regional politician, but what happened today changed my opinion, and I think Xiao Letian is not a regional politician, he should be considered a global politician...... In time, his achievements may be on par with Washington, Lincoln, Napoleon, Bismarck, and others......"
"When a politician can analyze problems from a global perspective, and he still has the power to influence the global political situation, then he is no longer an ordinary politician, and there will be one more politician in the history of mankind!"
"But he still needs time, he needs a lot of work, and he is still very weak...... "At this point, Matthew's pen paused for three minutes before starting to put it down, "What surprised me the most was why his judgment on the future of mankind was so consistent with that of the US government? Why did he think that the future world war would be the mainstream?"
Matthew couldn't find an answer to this question even if he racked his brains, who could believe that Xiao Lotian was a traverser?
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a crossing or not, what matters is the knowledge accumulated in Xiao Letian's mind. Why will war be the mainstream in the next 100 years? Because the next 100 years will be an era of great scientific and technological development and the popularization of the second industrial revolution.
It is a great era for new energy to change geopolitics!
The great development of science and technology has multiplied the destructive power of mankind, and the popularity of ironclad warships in the future will definitely change the pattern of mankind's division of the sea.
In addition, the emergence of the internal combustion engine will also change the traditional continental strategy, such as the idea of exchanging space for time and using strategic depth to consume the enemy's logistical supply with strategic depth, which will eventually be eliminated in the era of great scientific and technological development.
More critically, oil energy is about to replace the strategic position of coal, and the future geopolitics must be fiercely confrontation around oil fields. The barren land of the past will be a battleground for soldiers in the future, and no country wants its own national development to be stuck by others.
With so many great changes, why are you waiting for no war? If you don't fight, then there are ghosts!
Xiao Letian took a sip of cold tea and moistened his throat, "The second point is the judgment I made after more than ten years of analysis, the future Hundred Years War is definitely the mainstream, this is my core value, no one can question it!"
"If you don't accept it, you can leave my command, I definitely don't blame you! But as long as you choose to continue to work with me, then you must accept my judgment unconditionally, and you can't have the slightest doubt!"
Looking around coldly, Xiao Letian was greeted by undoubted eyes, firm and warm!
"Very well, I am very relieved! Now that we recognize the direction of history in the next 100 years, we must concentrate some power and resources to deal with the great changes in the world in the future! Now you understand why I structure the government this way, right?"
"If power is concentrated, when the war breaks out, we will be able to suffer a little less!"
"The last point is also the third point! As the saying goes, oranges are born in Huaibei, and oranges are citrus! That is to say, any kind of system must adapt to the local water and soil, and what is the reality that our Chinese country is facing now?"
"I am not afraid of being embarrassed to say that it is the rampant superstitious thoughts, the backward level of education, the rampant self-interest ideas, and the clan consciousness that only the small family ignores everyone and rules the hearts of the people!"
"Please don't forget that now our new army, that is, the guardians of the future Chinese nation, implements absolute compulsory education for the whole army, and every soldier must receive compulsory cultural education in order to become a proud soldier!"
"Think about it, the army is a place with strict discipline, and after a few years of military service, it can definitely wash away the small peasant thinking in a natural person, and then add compulsory education, which also ensures that this group of people has more personal qualities than civilians!"
"That's why they're citizens, that's why they have the most basic political rights, that is, the right to vote!"
Ay...... Xiao Lotian sighed, "To tell a joke, only a person of such quality will not sell his votes as a commodity, and it is such a person who has stronger self-control in the face of temptation!"
"Of course, this is also in line with the spirit of the Chinese Order! What spirit? Of course, it is the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, do you want to be an official in the Chinese people? You have dedicated yourself to the people first, and joining the army to protect the people is the most intuitive kind of dedication!"
"After that, I will have more detailed articles, all ministry officials have various requirements according to their ranks, my initial idea is that all high-level government officials must be military merit winners, that is to say, the big head soldiers of the mess are not good, you can only serve as low-level officials, and senior officials must have corresponding merits to match!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian smiled dismally: "If you want to gain power, you must first prove that you are worthy of power, right? You can't smuggle opium and resell people on the one hand, and want to be a county lord on the other hand, right?"
"You can't just rape and molest a girl and then immediately think that you can be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites? You don't even support your own father and mother, and you are ashamed to say that you are a natural head of the household department?"
I really feel ashamed to say this, but we can't deny that this is indeed a very evil ideology that exists in society! This is the life creed of many absolutely selfish people...... All I have to do is to weed out these absolutely selfish, incorrigible degenerates, and absolutely forbid them from any power!"
"This is the fairness I want, this is the fairness that all of us Chinese want! There is no such absolute fairness as chicken soup for the soul, everyone has to be responsible for their own life choices, when you throw yourself into the arms of evil, then bear the consequences of evil!"
"Giving justice to the wicked equally, that is unfair to the whole society!"
Xiao Letian raised his hand and shouted, "I know what you want to say, do you want to tell me forgiveness? You want to say that you should give others a chance to mend their ways! Do any of you still want to talk about the topic of human equality?"
"I'm sorry, of course, the evildoer can be forgiven by the society by changing his mind, but that is definitely not just empty words! If you make a mistake or commit a crime, and then you want to be accepted by the society, you have to work twice or even ten times harder than others to prove yourself!"
"Isn't it a bit unfair? Unfortunately, this is retribution, and since we have taken the wrong path, we must bear the bitter consequences! Don't want to take advantage of the kindness in the hearts of the people and take advantage of the loopholes!"
Xiao Lotian took a deep breath and smiled at Matthew, "Now do you understand? This is a kind of fairness chosen by Eastern civilization, not the fairness chosen by you America, I am afraid that we will not be able to convince each other, because the cultural core in our hearts is different, and the living environment is not the same......
"But at least we have to respect each other's choices, right?"
