Chapter 939: Little Monster
And some people with more knowledge think of more than that.
On that day, when Gu Hongming met with the English writer Maugham, the most famous thing was not these two poems that were intelligent and funny Maugham, but a remark that made Maugham feel a little frightened.
In Maugham's view, for Gu Hongming, society is a group, and the family is the foundation of this group. Gu Hongming defended ancient China, ancient doctrines, traditional imperial system, and the strict dogmas of Confucianism.
When Gu Hongming talked about those who had just returned from studying at a foreign university, ruthlessly tearing up the world's oldest civilization with their blasphemous hands, Gu Hongming's emotions became agitated and angry.
On that day, Gu Hongming said to Maugham: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you have any reason to think that your things are better than ours? Do you surpass us in art or literature? Are our thinkers not as broad and profound as yours? Is our civilization not as complete, comprehensive, and excellent as yours?"
"When you are still living in caves, wearing animal skins, and living a life of fur and blood, we are already a civilized and civilized nation. Did you know that we have conducted an experiment that is unprecedented in the history of mankind? We have sought to govern this great nation with wisdom, not force. And we've succeeded for many centuries!"
"But why do you look down on us? Do you need me to tell you? It's because you invented the machine gun. This is your advantage. We are an undefended people, and you can exterminate us as a genocide by force. Our philosophers had a dream of governing the country with law and order, but you smashed that dream with guns. Now you have come again to share your experience with our young people!"
"You have imposed on us your wicked inventions. But don't you know that we are a people with a gift for machines?"
"Don't you know that we have forty thousand of the most pragmatic and hardworking people in the world, and do you really think that it will take us a long time to learn your technique?"
"When we can make equally good guns and fire at you head-on, will you have any advantage left?"
This strange master of the late Qing Dynasty in China who shook the Europa countries, once pointed out the misunderstandings in the thinking of the Europa people, as well as this irrefutable question, has come true in less than a hundred years. After the spokesman in Huaxia blocked back the questions of reporters from various countries.
Many Europa reporters who were present, and these people who were considered elite in the Europa countries, couldn't help but start thinking. If the countries of Europa, and the civilizations of Europa, really lose the commanding heights of science and technology. So, what advantages do they have over Huaxia?
If it comes to humanities. The thousands of years of Chinese inheritance, those beliefs and customs engraved in the bones, those classics that have been destroyed and scattered several times, and those historical books that have been compiled in a unified way and have a clear and distinct system. Either way, it's not something that the countries of Europa can win.
The civilization of the Europa system has no power to dissolve the Chinese civilization at all. On the contrary, it has been through the experience of suppression for a hundred years. The Chinese dynasties, after stepping on all the huge pits of the fallen country, finally made up for the last missing link. Began to pay attention to industry and commerce and science and technology. It makes up for the original defects of civilization itself.
The civilization of the Europa system, placed in the history of a hundred years, is the strongest. However, if it is placed in the historical scale of thousands of years, or thousands of years, it is like a little monster that sends experience points to Huaxia. can only bully the protagonist for a moment. When the protagonist recovers, he will directly brush off the rising experience.
The people of the countries of Europa did not believe in this at first, but at this moment they really felt this sense of powerlessness that made them desperate, and the feeling of turning the wheel of history.
Those who have a certain understanding of Gu Hongming, a strange master of the late Qing Dynasty who once shocked the countries of Europa, only then do they understand that this talented and unruly old man has already seen through this after reading countless classics and scriptures in ancient and modern China and abroad.
That's when I had a conversation with Maugham. Maugham didn't believe what Gu Hongming said, and recording these remarks of Gu Hongming, in addition to respecting Gu Hongming himself, also has a bit of the meaning of attracting people's attention with shocking words.
After all, Maugham was a writer, and he had to live on subscriptions, uh, manuscript fees and royalties. Catch people's attention and make your books sell more. There is nothing wrong with that.
And the Europa people who have read Maugham's "On the Screen of China", when they heard Gu Hongming's questioning, they also remembered what Gu Hongming, an old Chinese man, once said to Maugham, like curses and prophecies-you turn to machine guns for help, but in the end you will be judged at gunpoint......
Now, if Huaxia has mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, it is really like Sidra back then, and intends to make the world respect the Chinese people. Occupy the whole world. I'm afraid there is some possibility of realization. After all, even Sidra, which had countless generals and Prussian elites, did not have the technology to surpass the nations of the world, obtain almost endless energy, and allow a race to continue almost forever!
What's more, the countries of Europa's civilization, even including Dongying, have offended China in the past 100 years. But anyone who has studied Chinese history will have a hard time forgetting this stubble.
So, it's still necessary to ask.
After the Chinese spokesman ordered reporters from three Europa countries in succession, he also ordered a few Chinese reporters to adjust the atmosphere. These reporters from Huaxia were very cooperative. The questions asked were so peaceful and loving. After the spokesman answered one after another, the atmosphere at the scene had become peaceful.
The spokesman saw that the rhythm was almost the same, and he didn't do it too well. So, I casually clicked a reporter from Europa: "This lady in the fifth row, please ask questions!"
The Europa female reporter, who looked a bit like the female star in the Mayflower Federation Hollywood blockbuster, asked: "As we all know, all the great inventions of mankind so far, whether it is gunpowder, or the atomic bomb, whether it is frequency hopping technology, or network technology, have been used in the military field at the beginning. ”
"May I ask, after Huaxia has mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, will it apply the relevant technology to the military field? Will it attempt to use this technology to influence the international situation?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone was silent.
