"To understand this complex war, we must first understand what the social system of European countries is, not to mention the constitutional monarchy, which is the political system, I am talking about the economic system......"

"European countries generally implement the capitalist system, remember this term, this is my Xiao Lotian original ......"

(The phrase capitalism in real history comes from the German economist Wiener Sonbart in 1902, and there was no such thing as capitalism in 1869.) ）

"What is capital? Capital is actually wealth, and it is wealth that can create value again! You Hyotaro has 500,000 silver dollars in his hand, and you ask the housekeeper to invest and do some business to make money, and these 500,000 silver dollars are capital!"

"The family of three in the slum has accumulated more than ten silver coins for many years, and is ready to buy some jars and jars of rice wine to sell, so these more than ten silver coins are also capital ......."

"Money is capital, and the same physical objects that can create wealth are also capital, I have no money in my hands, but I have a pasture, more than 100 cattle and sheep, then these livestock can also bring me wealth, then these are also capital!"

"Plant, equipment, land...... Cultural relics and antiques that can even appreciate in value are capital!"

"We are inseparable from capital everywhere in our lives, if you have this baby, you will eat and drink spicy food and become a master, and if you don't have this baby, you will hold a broken bowl and ask for food!"

"Haha...... Of course, the broken bowl and crutches in the beggar's hand are his capital if they are carefully classified!"

Xiao Lotian pointed to the wine jug on the table with his finger, and when Hyotaro saw that his godfather was going to drink, he quickly took it over and filled a glass of red wine for the Führer, and the red wine that had been awake for half a night was very sour, but it was really good to refresh and quench his thirst.

"Father, I understand what you said, I also have my own small factory, and we rich people in Asia are not the same as those who make a fortune in this way? What does this have to do with the war you are talking about?"

"Ah...... Don't worry, we'll get to that in a moment...... The current economic system in Europe is capitalism, but what is the economic system in Asia? Is it feudalism...... I've taught you before, you kid just remember about war, right?"

"I'll go back and punish you for auditing at Ryukyu University......!

He reprimanded his godson Xiao Letian and then said, "Actually, Asia is the same as Europe, and people can't live without the treasure of capital, but why is Europe capitalism? And Asia is feudalism? This is a problem of system and social habits......

"Capitalism stresses that everything takes capital as the core and capital as the key link! Society greatly respects the private nature of capital and property! Remember, this is the fundamental reason...... The Europeans believe in 'my broken house, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter', do you understand......

"The whole of Europe must ensure the safety of capital, because capital is the core of their economic system, the foundation of wealth appreciation, and the cornerstone of social stability!"

"But Asia is different, Asia belongs to a feudal centralized society, for example, the Qing Dynasty, what do you believe in? It is the land of the king under the whole world, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! It is the king and the scholars who are the prince of the world! The emperor can deprive anyone of all capital in one sentence......

"Now I understand, it's as simple as that, the Qing Dynasty, including the previous Ming Dynasty, all rely on land to increase the value of wealth, and the power of capital operation can only take a back seat!"

"Let's not talk about our own problems for now, let's talk about the capitalist system in Europe, because economic activity is heavily dependent on the flow of capital, so the security of capital is the primary task......"

"Remember when I said that the English cut off the head of a king?

"The king still thought that he was the kind of feudal lord in the past, who could plunder the capital of the people at will, but he never thought that the capital of the people was no longer willing to be enslaved by him, so the English Civil War broke out!"

"The head of a king shocked all the subsequent kings of England and the monarchs of Europe, and they finally understood that capital is actually invincible, and whoever is greedy will cut off his head!"

"If the capitalists win, then they will use legislation to protect the safety of capital, and they must ensure that capital will not be robbed by Chiguoguo!"

"In the eyes of businessmen and capitalists, failure to do business is a problem with vision and ability, and being deceived is also a matter of unclear knowledge, and encountering natural disasters is a matter of luck...... I can tolerate this, but I can't bear one thing!"

"What they can't stand is to rob by force! That's right, the biggest enemy of capital is actually the monarch in feudal centralization...... Why did your king take my money with a word?

"Haha, isn't it a little unimaginable, of course, this kind of thing is really unimaginable with the thinking of the Great Qing Kingdom!"

Xiao Letian sighed, "The entire European society respects capital and protects the safety of capital, so the contract spirit of European society is very strong, and in the eyes of Europeans, the contract is sacrosanct, not to mention the king, not to mention the pope!"

"As long as a contract is signed in black and white, it is sacrosanct! And the contract transcends national borders!"

"Fortunately, you didn't attack the Canal Company, if you really did that, I would just go back home, the composition of the shares of the Canal Company is extremely mysterious, basically the famous aristocratic families in Europe are involved, if I overturn this golden rice bowl, the whole of Europe will have to play with me!"

"When the time comes, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria...... Even our ally Prussia will blow up, and those influential businessmen and nobles will use all their strength to encircle and suppress us, and when the time comes, don't say any agreement, I'm afraid we all want to leave Europe alive!"

Hiss...... Everyone gasped, "So serious?"

"Of course it's so serious, I, Xiao Letian, dare to go to war with Britain and France, but I really don't dare to start a war with capital! This thing can't be seen or touched, but it's everywhere, it's really a domineering monster!"

"The Suez Canal was excavated with nearly 20 million pounds, which is equivalent to 90 million taels of silver in the Qing Treasury...... With so much money gathered together, so much capital, how much master does he have, and how high does his status and influence be?"

"Have you thought about all this? Finally, I will give you another word, capital is naturally borderless!"

"War is not a reckless rampage, there are some things that we humans cannot defeat......"
