86_86661 Chen Zhong put forward the concept of "checks and balances of interests" when talking about the relationship between the various powers in China. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The geopolitical environment of the western land and sea powers is relatively complex, and the maritime powers are prone to engage in "offshore balancing". Britain used Austria, Prussia, and Spain to contain France on several occasions. Later, France and Russia were used to counterbalance Germany.

If the land and sea powers want to develop both sea power and land power, it will lead to the dispersion of resources and eventually fall into passivity.

Therefore, our Hainan should find a suitable position for itself in the game of these powerful people, and make use of the relationship between these great powers to check and balance each other, and our Hainan will reap benefits from it.

Some time ago, the reason why we won in the South China Sea was that we took advantage of the delicate relations between several other countries, so that we did not form a back-to-back enemy, and in the end, we were able to concentrate on dealing with Japan.

Whether or not we can rise smoothly in the cracks of many great powers depends not only on the international environment, but also on correct strategic choices and precise strategic planning. Strength is important, but strategy is just as important.

Some time ago, some generals said to Ben Wang that with the momentum and strength of our Hainan, we can take Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan in one fell swoop, and even drive away the French who are playing in Guangzhou.

Although, ours can be very simple, and there are enough forces to wipe out the forces of the great powers in front of us, but what about the countries behind them? Then we are in danger of being the focus of the great powers.

In the game of great powers, we should not rely on force alone to solve the problem, and we will not go far in this way.

We want to show that not everyone in our Hainan can be moved, but we must also make them feel that your existence will not touch their interests for the time being, and it may even reduce a lot of worries because of this.

In this way, we will gain enough space and time to develop our core interests. The contest between countries and regional blocs is not a contest of arms or a hooligan fight.

This contest is a contest of economic strength, and in the final analysis, it is a contest of money, and whoever has the money will have the initiative in the war. In addition, it depends on who will be good at finding allies in the competing interests of all parties.

Accurately finding allies in this game is to avoid the danger of being shot while lying on the ground. At the same time, it can also save yourself from more wars.

We are engaged in the use of force to resolve conflicts of interest, not for the sake of who to resort to, but for the sake of our core interests and our great vision. A strong show of force is aimed at not using force as much as possible, but to unite and deter.

Before we achieve a national victory, we must learn to take advantage of the contradictions between various forces to gain greater space for survival.

Today, among the great powers on our soil, there is a sharp contradiction between Britain and Germany, France and Russia are allies, and there are conflicts with Germany, but in this war between Russia and Japan, Japan has the upper hand, and the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War is basically a foregone conclusion so far.

The Anglo-Japanese alliance destroyed Russia's power, and in order to deal with Germany, the British formed an alliance with France, which seemed impossible to cooperate with, last year, thus greatly isolating Germany.

There is a conflict of interest between Japan and Germany in Qingdao, our country, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II is full of disgust with Japan, and this conceited Wilhelm will sooner or later have a conflict with Japan in this region.

Relations between Japan and Russia have deteriorated, and Russia is Japan's number one enemy. Our Qing Dynasty is only where the interests they are fighting for, and they are not the enemy.

As early as 1875, when Japan occupied Korea by armed force, Russia sent troops to intervene and intimidate the Japanese army to withdraw from Korea by force, and then Russia extorted a large sum of money from North Korea as a "protection fee." Since then, Japan and Russia have formed a grudge.

In 1895, Japan went to war with our Great Qing State, defeated the Qing defenders, and then attacked all the way to Shanhaiguan to prepare to enter Beijing, and Russia mobilized 400,000 troops from the west into Manchuria, ready to "teach" Japan, Japan was unable to deal with Russia because the battle line was too long, the cost was too large, and it was helpless to withdraw all its troops in China.

After this war, Russia still collected the "protection money" as if blackmailing North Korea.

After that, Russia was still unwilling, and in 1903 the Russian army entered Korea, and Japan's interests in Manchuria and Korea were taken away by Russia, and Japan could not bear it. Until last year, Emperor Meiji ordered war with Russia, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.

If we take advantage of the conflict of interests between them, we will use Germany against England, Japan, and France.

Our Hainan, from our own geographical point of view, is an island region, which determines that we must have a strong maritime fleet, and even two, three, or even more fleets in the future to ensure our security.

But as we continue to penetrate into the interior until we finally achieve national unity, we will become a continental nation with a vast continent and many outlets to the Pacific Ocean.

Such a regional environment presents us with a great deal of difficulty. In those days, the British blew up our country with artillery from the sea, and the Russians entered our interior from land.

The Japanese and Russians have a great desire to possess our land, so these two countries are our ultimate enemies. When our Hainan heels stand firm, we must deal with these two neighbors who are like thieves.

The Americans are slowly getting involved in this game of great powers, and they have experienced the pain of isolation.

From the war to the present day, they have been cautious in every step, and in the formulation of every strategy, they have weighed the interests of various countries, and they have been left and right in the competition between the great powers.

From the perspective of being a human being, it is really a villain's act, but from the perspective of the interests of the country, this is a road that has to be taken.

There is no such thing as peace in this world, because this is a game that was born to compete for resources.

In this arena, politicians will do whatever it takes to create contradictions between other countries in order to gain profits, although it is a bit despicable, but this is an absolute law, unless you withdraw from this cruel competition.

In other words, the world is so big, where can you retreat? Withdrawing from it is a sign that you are facing slaughter.

Therefore, before setting out for the Northern Expedition, the core of our leadership in Hainan must have a unified understanding of our thinking.

Now we should no longer think about the problem in terms of the separate regional concept of Hainan in the past, but have the concept of a country, the concept of an imperial state that must rise tenaciously in the squeeze of the great powers!
