Chapter 47: A Soldier's Family Affair (12)
"The development of North America is our most important policy at the moment, and the completion of the development of North America can support the long-term operation of the large corps. With our naval superiority, plus a seaport in North America. It has the strength of the United States in World War I by relying on the population and strength of North America. This is not only the current direction, but also the iron and blood grand strategy that the Governor has been working hard to implement more than ten years ago! Nguyen Hi Ho spoke eloquently in front of a group of army personnel.
The senior officers of the army listened carefully, and if it weren't for the fact that records were not allowed this time, I think many people would have made notes in their notebooks. Focused, excited, these are the expressions of the senior soldiers at this time. Everyone knows the "iron-blooded policy" put forward by Governor Wezedu nearly thirty years ago. Since then, China has been moving along this path. Spain, France, Russia, and Great Britain were all defeated in the face of the "iron and blood policy", and China's territory expanded at an astonishing rate. With the expansion, more materials, raw materials, and food poured into China like a tide.
"Military farms in North America have already begun to send food to Asia, and it is expected that in the next five years, local food will be enough to feed tens of millions of people in North America, and there will be enough to send food to Asia. And the United States controls the plains that are bigger and richer than we are today. This means that if we do not do anything to the United States, sooner or later the United States will grow into an adversary that we will find difficult to shake. We didn't know and didn't understand this before. But the governor has seen all this a long time ago, and has also made a lot of targeted deployments. Eliminate the United States, and there will be no country on this earth that can prevent us from China from dominating the world! Ruan Xihao's words were impassioned, and the army generals who listened to Ruan Xihao's speech were also shocked and moved by this kind of courage, and their emotions became more and more excited.
"I don't think that's right." A voice familiar to the generals sounded at the door of the conference room.
There are very few people who dare to openly oppose Ruan Xihao, and even fewer people who dare not fully support Ruan Xihao after the opposition. The generals, including Nguyen Hee Ho, looked at the gate, which had been quietly opened at some point. There was a man standing in the doorway, and that was Wesser.
After expressing his negative opinion, Weeser walked into the conference room with the brisk and powerful pace he had been in for decades. All the generals immediately stood up, and everyone saluted Wei Ze in unison. Wei Ze walked to the chairman's position obediently given up by Ruan Xihao, and after saluting everyone back, he waved his hand and said, "Sit!" ”
All the generals sat down, and Wei Ze patted Ruan Xihao on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down on the chair beside him. After everyone was seated, Weeser continued: "There are some clichés that I have to say again, only China can defeat China. It is indeed my long-standing desire to destroy the United States, and strategically speaking, after entering North America, it is natural to go south. If we are satisfied with the land we are now, we will be at a great disadvantage in the war that is destined to occur in the future. However, when our goal is not simply to expand our territory, but to pursue China's hegemony in the world, we need to consider what kind of order we want to establish in China. This order is simple, we have a large number of Chinese and developed industry, so we rely on force to bring other countries to their knees? Or simply wipe out all the countries and leave China alone on the planet? I don't know if the comrades have thought about it. ”
It must be admitted that Ruan Xihao's remarks just now are also exciting. But after listening to Wei Ze's words, the senior soldiers had to admit that Wei Ze was once again ahead of everyone. The iron-blooded policy was implemented as the established policy of the Liberation Party and the Liberation Army for nearly three decades, and even before the unification of China, China expanded into new territories overseas. Nguyen Hee Ho's speech, no matter how exciting it sounds, is only a continuation of this policy.
Now Wei Ze is proposing a policy to be adopted by China at the time of world hegemony, and Nguyen Xi Hao undoubtedly did not touch on this aspect. China's history of expansion in less than thirty years is bloody. What happened in the north, in the South China Sea, in those newly conquered lands, everyone just didn't want to mention it. The killing on the frontal battlefield in China has been extremely cruel, and the Hunan army, the Manchurians, and the corpses that have been killed are like mountains and rivers of blood. Under the operation of Governor Wezedu, the number of people who were intentionally eliminated or inadvertently affected and died was enormous. The total number of victims is only 100 million.
The reason why there is no feeling for this within the Republic of China is because the 800 million people in China have now benefited greatly. Everyone is well fed, clothed, children can go to school, and they can eat meat on at least every five days off. Therefore, for the Chinese people, all these sacrifices have become meaningful because of the advent of a happy life.
Wei Ze continued: "I believe that Comrade Nguyen Hee Hao has also told you that the industrial level of the United States is developing rapidly. The population of the United States has grown by leaps and bounds to 80 million. Even with a more optimistic attitude, we will be ready for war in five years' time. At that time, China had to deal with an industrial country with a population of 80 million. This is the most powerful country on earth other than China, and it is a formidable enemy that we have never challenged. Can we afford the huge toll of war? Personally, I'm more skeptical. ”
Ruan Xihao actually knew that Wei Ze did not want to go to war in the short term, and it was becoming less and less difficult to expect a war between Britain and China, and the British no longer had the determination to engage in a large-scale military conflict with China at this time. The only goal that can keep China in the war going is the United States. The reason why he is trying to advance the policy now is because Nguyen is worried that as the United States becomes stronger, the possibility of China taking the initiative to go to war with the United States is getting smaller and smaller, and the possibility of never going to war again is very high.
Who is going to leak what this meeting is going to talk about? Ruan Xihao really wanted to find out this damn leaker and fix it properly. There was something in his heart, so Ruan Xihao couldn't pay attention to what Wei Ze was saying. When he paid attention, he realized that Wei Ze had begun to talk about political issues that were so far off topic from the war.
“…… Governments in Europe are small governments, they serve a small percentage of classes, and this class has money and can take care of itself. This class not only took care of itself, but was also the local ruler, controlling a large number of people and industries.
However, with the development of industrialization, people began to move in large numbers. The traditional feudal lords did not care about those who ran into the cities, and the urban bourgeoisie naturally refused to assume the social responsibility of the hired class. The British government has to admit that the functions of government must be expanded. In the Victorian era, the expansion of government functions was mainly manifested in the police service. The brutal extermination and exile of the criminals of the urban employment class was the original solution of the British government.
It must be admitted that this cruel policy was initially approved by the feudal rulers, the capitalists, and the class of hired workers who worked honestly. As the economic crisis continues to erupt, this method faces new problems. The urban unemployed, who are mostly hired workers, have not committed any illegal acts, and every economic crisis has caused these unemployed people to face serious problems. Either you will rise up and join the resistance, or you will become criminals......"
Listening to Wei Ze's eloquent talk, Ruan Xihao was a little confused. This is the army, not the government. What is the reason why Governor Wezedu is going to make a fuss about this?
