After listening to the words of the committee member, everyone also felt that there was a certain amount of truth, and if it was said that some of the displaced people of the Ming Dynasty would be transferred to the islands of the South Seas, it would be reasonable, after all, the distance was not very far, but India was really too far away from the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, India is now the Mughal Empire, and unlike a group of native kings in the South Seas, it is not so easy for the company to attack India. The drought in Chongzhen will continue for several years, and if the company mobilizes, the large-scale displacement will put a lot of pressure on the Far East, and the company will have the energy to go on an expedition to conquer India.

Gao Jianguo, who had always had a gloomy face, glanced at everyone, and then said gloomily: "Comrades, the current situation is very grim. If the company decides to mobilize and receive disaster victims from all over Daming on a large scale, relying only on the company's current resources, although it can survive for a year or two, it will inevitably affect the company's future development, and even a large number of displaced people will drag the company down. If you want to save the victims of disasters in Daming and not affect the development of the company, there is only one way, and that is to wage war with foreign countries. Use the means of war to plunder the resources of other peoples and save the victims of the Ming disaster. ”

As soon as his words fell, all the members and members of the Standing Committee in the conference room were dumbfounded. One of the committee members immediately stood up with a serious face and expressed his dissenting opinion.

"Is it possible that we, the Far Eastern Company, will take the road of militarism in the future? I've been thinking about the company's foreign policy for a long time, and there is a serious nationalist tendency within the company at the moment. If we save the victims of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, do we have to pass on the disasters to other nations? What is the difference between this and those modern Western powers that invaded us in those years, and what is the difference between this and the Japanese invaders in those years?

The reason why our Chinese nation has a long history of energy is because there is an essential difference between our royal and martial spirit and the wolf and martial spirit of the West. The West is where the benefits lie. Violence is an explosion of bestiality. It is precisely because of this that China has a prosperous scene in history of "four Yi guests and all countries come to court", which demonstrates the majestic confidence of the Chinese nation. ”

Gao Jianguo listened to his words and was angry.

"Then you can also tell me what you think, I want to see. What can you do to save the countless victims of the Ming Central Plains. ”

The committee member was stunned by Gao Jianguo's question, and he talked for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Gao Jianguo sneered: "You oppose my opinion, although I am unhappy, but I must take it seriously, because this is your power." But what qualifications do you have to evaluate the company's foreign policy, the company's foreign policy is discussed and approved by all the standing committee members and members of the board of directors, and represents the opinions of the majority of the members of the board of directors of our Far East company.

Your so-called royal and martial spirit. In my opinion, it is actually China's century-old strategic thinking. What a glory it was to be in the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, but since the Song Dynasty, every time there is a foreign war, scholars and scholars will speak loudly, and the peace discussion is endless, even if they are forced to the door, they will still cover their ears and steal the bell with "restraint is self-confidence". The Northern Song Dynasty exchanged money for peace, and the Southern Song Dynasty used peace talks to try to be peaceful. But the final result was the destruction of the country.

Since the Song Dynasty, the martial spirit of the Chinese nation has basically been lost. Even before we came to this era, the big countries around the South China Sea were arrogant and arrogant, and the small countries were arrogant, and their national interests were frantically plundered and their dignity was wantonly trampled on. How could a country with permanent members of the Security Council, nuclear weapons, the world's largest population, and the world's largest standing army be surrounded, humiliated, and provoked?

Not only Japan is still arrogant towards China, but also smaller countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia. It also dares to rob China's islands and reefs on a large scale, and Australia even openly advocates a war with China in the white paper. In the 200 years of modern world history, there is no second big country other than China.

Compared with the United States and Russia, we have not reached the same military level as Russia. It is not the arbitrary use of force like the United States, but China is still the target of public criticism. Why? It is precisely because we are weak that other countries also know that China has a temper that is submissive, so they have to inch in and intensify their wanton provocation of our dignity.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left the sentence "Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!" What a majestic statement. If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of heroic souls who fought for our country for decades in North Korea, how could there be the later reform and opening up, and how could there be the later prosperity of the country and the strength of the people.

Throughout history, all martial dynasties are great dynasties. Looking around the world, any country that is still martial is a strong country.

In 1485, Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow, proclaimed himself emperor and officially named the country Russia, with a land area of only 430,000 square kilometers.

In 1533, Russia annexed Pskov and Ryazan, seized Smolensk from Lithuania. In 1547, Russia incorporated the Kazan Khanate into its territory.

In 1689, Peter I launched a series of expeditions, including the Yascha Expedition, the Northern War, the march on the Prut River, the expedition to Persia, the invasion of the Heilongjiang Valley, the seizure of the waters of the Far East, the invasion of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. Through these wars, Russia not only greatly expanded its territory, but also seized the estuaries facing the Baltic, Black and Pacific Seas, turning Russia from a landlocked country to a littoral power.

In 1741 it crossed the Bering Strait and invaded the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. In the west, the northwestern frontier of the empire was advanced to the line of the Kumennie River by war with Sweden.

In 1762, the Russian Empire annexed Poland in the west and Finland in the north. The Crimean Peninsula, the Norman Peninsula and the area south of the Kuban River were brought under its jurisdiction. At the same time, by partitioning Poland, Russia's western border was pushed from the Bnieper River to the line of the Neman and Bug rivers, and penetrated deep into Central Europe, opening the door to interference in European affairs.

In 1809, Finland was annexed. In 1812 it occupied the Turkish region of Bessarabia and the South Caucasus. Georgia, Azerbaijan and Dagestan were annexed to Russia in 1813.

From 1826 to 1828, the Armenian region was annexed through a war of aggression against Persia. From the end of 1828 to 1829, Turkey invaded again, seizing the mouth of the Danube and its affiliated islands, as well as a vast area on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. In 1853 Sakhalin Island was occupied, and by 1857 it had de facto control over a vast area north of the Heilongjiang River.

The Treaty of Aihui in May 1858, the Treaty of Peking in November 1858, and the Treaty of Exploration of the Northwest Boundary in 1864 seized nearly 1.5 million square kilometers of land from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It also turned all 3.95 million square kilometers of land in Central Asia into a colony of Tsarist Russia, and further encroached on 70,000 square kilometers of territory in northwest China.

In 1894, the last Tsar, Nicholas II, ascended the throne. At this time, the Russian Empire was already in decline, and the domestic contradictions were becoming increasingly acute and prominent. Even in such a situation of imminent collapse, the Russian Empire continued its pace of external expansion. In 1911, Russia instigated the independence of Outer Mongolia and invaded the Tangnu-Ulianghai region of China.

Even during the collapse of the Soviet Union, the whole country was in turmoil and almost fell into chaos. Japan, however, still does not dare to have the slightest thought about the four northern islands occupied by Russia. Our country is already the second largest economy in the world, but Japan is chirping with us every day. Without a true martial spirit, the heart is weak, and no matter how big the country is, it will not be able to become a strong country. (To be continued......)
