Chapter 790 Running through Asia, Africa and Europe
"Me and Tongtong, are you your own family?" Guan Xinxin said very calmly: "What did you do?"
Chen Ziang burst into tears.
Didn't he lift Tarzan and shoot himself in the foot?
Then, he sat aside honestly and walked away.
Running and not daring to run.
What can be done, leave it to fate.
The old man's eyes lit up a little, it seems that this little daughter really cares about Chen Ziang.
Otherwise, there will be no resentment.
In such a family, even the other half who sleeps with him and sleeps with him cannot be completely trusted and relied on.
Sometimes it's not that the other party is unreliable, it's that the people around the other party are unreliable and can't be prevented.
For example, it is not uncommon for a couple or husband and wife who once loved each other to death and survive, if the other party's relatives or surrounding people oppose it, and it will affect it for many years, and the relationship will eventually fall apart.
It's not that life and years wear off, but that society and the environment are terrible.
The years are quiet, but the original intention is difficult to keep.
The old man felt that the youngest daughter had a grudge against Chen Ziang, and the granddaughter had a grudge against Chen Ziang, so it would be much easier.
He was afraid that his youngest daughter and granddaughter would really abandon everything.
For the sake of money and children, there are many folk women who can sit at a table and eat.
But the old man knows that the youngest daughter is very arrogant, and the granddaughter is not bad.
According to the information he knew, the youngest daughter and granddaughter often took care of the children together, but they never appeared in front of Chen Ziang together here.
Suddenly.
"I just want him to be okay and safe for the rest of his life. Guan Xinxin looked ahead, not at the old man on the side: "The children are all I have now, they can't live without their father, Tongtong and I also reached this consensus, we have a common enemy." ”
Chen Ziang's face was a little ugly, did someone target him, and did he not hesitate to cross the line?
"Don't say it so seriously, it scares Ziang. The old man was a little angry: "No matter how you say it, it's all a family." ”
"You behave in disgust, and you don't need to open your mouth, but someone will understand. Guan Xinxin did not back down at all.
Today, the father and daughter almost opened the skylight and said something bright.
The old man was a little irritable and kept rubbing his face.
Chen Ziang sat on the small bench in a daze.
While he was in a daze, there was a chill on the back of his hand.
Guan Xinxin's hand rested on the back of his hand.
The old man glanced at the two hands that were put together and looked away.
For a long time, he looked at Chen Ziang, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "In ancient times, there were beauties who brought disaster to the country and the people, and I think you are similar, participating in the writing of history." ”
Guan Xinxin tilted her head and said to Chen Ziang: "Don't you usually write excitedly when you have nothing to do, and point out the country? Now you can talk casually, maybe you have some inspiration for them." ”
Chen Ziang was a little squirming, why did he suddenly mention this.
The old man became a little serious: "Xinxin mentioned to me, you summarized the three ways in which the world powers managed their colonies in the past, and also proposed the fourth ...... I'm interested. ”
Chen Ziang looked at Guan Xinxin.
This family loves and kills each other, it's really not too much to describe it.
He did talk to Guan Xinxin about the three colonial management styles that he had seen others summarize on the Internet in his previous life, and also saw the fourth colonial management style that was being followed.
The old man and Guan Xinxin were very interested, because they felt that Chen Ziang summed it up very appropriately.
"Let's talk about it, it's just small talk. The old man had already restrained the "murderous aura" before and after entering the door.
He became very kind, as if the-for-tat just now, Jin Ge Iron Horse did not exist.
Chen Ziang had no choice but to ask, "Which one do you say?"
The old man smiled: "Xin Xin didn't say much at the time, only said that in the past, the European and American powers exercised three ways of colonial management, and you also proposed a fourth way to be exercised." Let's start with the three that you summarized. ”
Chen Ziang glanced at Guan Xinxin again, her eyes were full of encouragement.
It's really not easy for her to be for Kerr.
Chen Ziang had no choice but to say: "In modern times, the countries that developed first in Europe and the United States have roughly three ways to manage their colonies: the first is robbery, the second is captive, and the third is free-range. ”
The old man listened silently, and didn't show much.
What he was looking forward to was the fourth one, and Guan Xinxin was stunned at the time.
He had to come in person.
Seeing that the old man had no expression, Chen Ziang continued: "The robbery type is easy to understand, that is, you don't do anything, you just need to train your muscles, and then concentrate on killing people and setting fires. That representative is Spain and Portugal. ”
The old man nodded secretly, he knew something about this.
"Spain and Portugal were the first to make great voyages, and this kind of robbery has been going on for a hundred or two hundred years, and since the discovery of the New World, the American continent, they have been slaughtering the Indians incessantly, and they have been transporting gold and silver from these places to Europe. Chen Ziang said.
The old man was a very competent listener and nodded from time to time.
"The European powers treated Africa in the same way, because the climate in that part of Africa was not very suitable for Europeans, so the tribes in Africa escaped the catastrophe. But the robbery still has to be robbed. As can be seen from the names of these colonies, the Gold Coast was the gold that was stolen and transported from here, and the Ivory Coast and the Slave Coast, which are very straightforward, as the name suggests, are the trading docks for the transport of ivory and slaves. Chen Ziang's voice grew louder and louder.
The old man simply made tea by himself, but still listened carefully.
Chen Ziang continued: "The first way is the simplest and crude, and the money comes relatively quickly. So at that time, the richest people in Europe were Spain and Portugal, and if you look at the churches they built at that time, each one is more splendid and magnificent than the other. But who will remember now that every white stone in those churches was actually stained with the blood of countless Indians. ”
Guan Xinxin helped wash the teacups.
Chen Ziang paused for a moment and asked tentatively: "The first type is finished, and I will talk about the second captive type?"
"Hmm. The old man smiled, feeling that this grandson-in-law was indeed a scholar.
Chen Ziang said: "The second analogy is that people want to eat mutton and cut wool, but they don't have to rob outside, so they have to raise it themselves. This representative is the United Kingdom. ”
The old man nodded slightly.
Chen Ziang continued: "Britain looked at Spain and Portugal, and felt that people were robbing money so quickly outside, and he also wanted to go. At that time, after a series of Anglo-Spanish wars, after the Battle of the Downs, Spain was not good, and then after a series of Anglo-Dutch wars, the Netherlands was not good. So the British Empire became a global leader. But here's the problem, those things that are easy to rob, such as gold and silver treasures, have long been robbed. The British had no choice but to manage the looted land, grow tobacco, coffee, tea, potatoes, peppers, etc., and sell them back to Europe. ”
The old man didn't squeak.
Chen Ziang said: "After all, farming is very tiring, so the large-scale black slave trade movement arose at that time. The characteristic of this captive type is that it has to be managed by itself, so the British will send senior administrators to the colonies, such as governors, vice-kings, and a whole host of officials. However, he did not interfere with the living habits of the colonial areas, and even appointed locals as some grassroots officials. This is the case with India and Hong Kong Island. This method is actually very good, especially after the industrial revolution, the market for agricultural products is not good, so it is changed to cotton planting, mining, iron, copper, tin, coal and the like in the colonies. The industrial products produced from these minerals were sold back to these colonies. As a result, Britain has grown in strength and become a veritable factory of the world. ”
"Not bad. "It's hard for the old man to make a sound.
Chen Ziang continued: "But this also has a disadvantage, that is, the higher the management cost is the further you go. People who have engaged in breeding know that farming is very expensive, in case of swine flu, bird flu, or natural and man-made disasters, you may lose all your money. So in academia there is a term called the 'paradox of expansion', which means that it costs a lot of money to occupy a new place, to rule, to suppress a local uprising, to defend the fruits of victory. It will also create new military defense problems, so we have to continue to expand to solve this problem, and in the end the cost of maintaining these colonies far exceeds the cost of preempting new colonies...... Britain began to decline because of this. ”
"The third free-range type, compared with the captive type, it is more convenient, that is, let the sheep out, let them find food by themselves, don't care about it at all, at most it's okay to take a look, don't let it be taken away by other jackals, tigers and leopards. Of course, in some cases, you can also give some leftovers or something, so that the sheep can improve their lives. Or let them be exchanged for the wool that the managers need. If the sheep's hair is thicker, you can gather the sheep and cut them together. To put it bluntly, it is a business strategy that does not own, but only uses itself, and the representative of this way is the United States. The more Chen Ziang spoke, the more open he became.
The old man and Guan Xinxin didn't interject.
In fact, it is true that the United States has developed from a regional power to a powerful country that can speak up on global affairs more than 200 years ago.
It learned the lessons of its European predecessors in administering the colonies, not to engage in total occupation, but to control certain points and establish military bases, such as Guam.
Then rely on strong military strength to ensure that they export goods, capital, and their culture and institutions all over the world to form a greater influence.
The United States did not have colonies, so it grabbed the Philippines in the hands of Spain at the beginning, and it was only when the president of the United States used all his political resources to desperately persuade Congress to get it.
But after the occupation, they regretted it, because the cost was too high.
In the first year, the United States stationed 30,000 troops, and in the second year, it became 60,000, and it was miserable to be put up by the local rebels at every turn.
So then the United States no longer engaged in colonies, they chose to support proxies.
This free-range method has more obvious advantages than captivity, and the only thing it needs to guard against is that those sheep cannot be allowed to evolve into a pack of wolves.
There has always been a remark on the Internet that the United States has been kind to China and has sincerely and selflessly helped China.
After the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the great powers set off a frenzy to carve up China, and at that time, the United States suddenly jumped out and strongly opposed it, and sent a "note on the open door" to those powers, demanding equal trade opportunities and preserving China's territorial integrity.
Even the then US president said in his negotiations with various powers: The long-standing US policy toward China has been to strive to maintain China's peace and stability and maintain China's territorial and sovereign integrity.
Later, he also refunded part of the compensation to China and set up a Tsinghua School, which is now Tsinghua University. In education, it also helps China.
Chinese who are familiar with China's modern history and understand what European countries and Japan have done in China may be a little moved when they suddenly see such a selfless United States, and feel that the United States is a benefactor.
In fact, the United States is indeed different from the great powers of Japan and Britain, which bullied China before, and it really helped China, and during the honeymoon period, it also helped China complete its strategic plan for social reform and economic development.
But, of course, this is not sincere and altruistic, this is a way of free-range colony, as long as there is wool shear, the United States not only wants China to be peaceful and unified, but also wants China's economy to prosper, because poor countries cannot provide more wealth to them to deprive them.
Therefore, it can be found that some relatively backward and poor countries are relatively easy to get help from the United States.
However, he will definitely not make the other party strong!
How could he make a sheep grow into a wolf?
This will resist his shearing.
"Now, our country has grown into a wolf. Chen Ziang's eyes flickered: "The fourth way of colonization can be realized by us." ”
The old man's eyes are shining, has he finally gotten to the point?
The fourth colonial method that Chen Ziang talked about with Guan Xinxin, the old man only listened to some generalities.
But he could hear two words – doable!
Of course it works.
That was the policy that China was implementing in the previous life, and it had far-reaching implications.
The Western media find this method terrifying, but it is unassailable.
In the encirclement and interception of the great powers, China in the previous life fought such a bloody way.
Through Asia, Africa and Europe!
"Our country now has overcapacity, excess foreign exchange assets, high dependence on foreign oil and gas resources and mineral resources, and industry and infrastructure are concentrated on the coast, and if it encounters an external attack, it is easy to lose core facilities. The overall situation in the border areas is at its best in history, and the willingness of neighboring countries to strengthen cooperation with us has generally increased...... At this time, if you don't expand your ambition, when will you wait?" Chen Ziang was full of spirits and gushed, and said for more than 20 minutes in one breath.
The old man's eyes were sharp.
Theory is theory, practice is practice.
Chen Ziang's theory seems to have been practiced.
Where does his self-confidence come from?
Not only the old man was puzzled, but Guan Xinxin was also puzzled.
"You change careers!" suddenly the old man said.
It's a pity that this is not engaged in the economy and does not follow the official career.
You can let him start from a small place first, if he does it well, how to do it in the future, it's not up to him to have the final say?
"You're laughing. Of course, Chen Ziang refused.
The old man was about to say something, but Chen Ziang was suddenly shocked: "Oh no!"
