86_86661 General David said: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, I regret that I am only a professional soldier, and I don't like politics. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info But this is the world we live in. He is always suffering in contradictions, and he enjoys the cruel beauty of pain in contradictions. ”

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "I am not denying the distortion of this world, I just want to show that I regret that in this era we live in, I am on the abused side of the game, and we have no choice." I don't want us to disappear from the game, we were once a game-maker, and we can't afford to walk away. ”

General David said: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, you are the top politician in the world today, you are always so full of hope, and you will always give people a kind of understanding and tolerance. ”

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "General David, our tolerance does not mean that there is no bottom line, the reason why we are working hard to accumulate strength is to make this game more exciting." Maybe one day we will meet on the battlefield in the Pacific, we may be allies, maybe we will be enemies, and at that time, we may use the dialogue style of professional soldiers to talk about the changes in this world and determine the new pattern and outcome of this world. ”

The reason why Chen Zhong talked about this with General David was that they all knew what the United States was doing in China, and they had quietly and decently joined the ranks of carving up China.

In this historical period, the United States first put forward its China policy, the "open door" policy, in response to the frenzy of carving up China set off by the great powers.

Since the Opium War, the United States has participated in many invasions of China. However, because the United States was weaker than Britain and other countries at that time, it was difficult to carry out aggressive activities against China alone.

After the Civil War in the United States, gas capitalism developed rapidly, and by the 90s of the 19th century, it became the world's largest industrial power, but its military strength was still relatively weak.

By the time of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the Great Powers had seized the leased territories in China and divided their "spheres of influence."

In order to change this situation, and in order to share the aggressive rights and interests of the Western powers in China, the United States has put forward an "open door" policy.

The essence of the US "open door" policy is to open China's "door" to all imperialist countries, and its purpose is to fear that China will be controlled by a few other countries and that the United States will lose its interests in China.

Through the "open door," the United States can intervene in the "sphere of influence" of any imperialist country, thereby sharing the aggressive rights and interests of other countries and achieving "equal interests."

He tried to use his economic strength to gradually occupy the Chinese market. Therefore, we should strive to ease the contradictions in which various countries are in contention, gradually exclude other countries in the competition, and achieve the goal of monopolizing China.

Since none of the Western powers had the exclusive position of China, and the power of Britain was declining. At the same time, the "open door" policy did not harm the interests of other powers, and this temporarily brought about a superficial unanimity in the imperialist struggle for China and the formation of an alliance to jointly subjugate China.

The United States has taken advantage of the "open door" policy to step up and expand the pace of aggression against China, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger. The "open door" policy has not reduced the danger of China's partition, and China's national crisis has become even more serious.

The "open door" policy took the form of currying favor with the Great Powers, proposing no interference with any treaty, port, or any vested interests; Tariffs on goods from all countries are subject to the prevailing Chinese rates; Within their respective "spheres of influence", each country may not levy higher fees on the freight of ships and goods of other countries than its own.

During this period, the Western powers carved up China to the point of madness. Each country has its own sphere of influence, ceded or leased territory.

Germany demarcated its sphere of influence in Shandong and forcibly leased Jiaozhou Bay, while Russia forcibly leased Lushun and Dalian north of the Great Wall. France forcibly leased Guangzhou Bay in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, Britain forcibly leased the "New Territories" and Weihai in the Yangtze River Valley, and Japan occupied Taiwan and the Penghu Islands in Fujian.

The Western powers each demarcated a number of areas within China's territory in which they had priority or exclusive rights. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the imperialist countries divided their spheres of influence in China by seizing mining rights and railway construction rights, forcibly seizing ports and leased land, and set off a frenzy of carving up China.

Chen Zhong said bitterly about the current situation of the Qing Dynasty: "In the face of such a situation, we, as a member of the Chinese nation, are speechless. The great country is so weak, like a terminally ill patient.

Cixi, an old woman, only knew how to play with power in the court, but when she saw the warship cannons fired by the great powers at her doorstep, she was frightened. Our nation is in the hands of a woman who only knows how to compete for favor, except for flattery, it is to sell land, only for her to seek temporary pleasure. As everyone knows, this practice of drinking to quench thirst will eventually make this giant with a 5,000-year-old civilization fall down!

Use the dignity of a nation to exchange for her comfort alone, and use a thousand miles of rivers and mountains to please the robbers who come to the door! This is simply a ridiculous joke! ”

"Your Excellency the King of Hainan, you seem to be very angry." David was a little excited when he saw Chen Zhong and said.

"I'm sorry, General David, our friend from Hainan, I'm a little excited. Your country's behavior toward China does not affect our relationship between us and our friends in private. I was really angry. This may be a turning point in history, and this may be a new opportunity.

In short, the existence of the Qing court has seriously hindered the development of our nation with a long civilization, and we in Hainan now have no need to hide it, we are about to start a war against the Qing court, to overthrow the rotten imperial court, and to re-establish the dignity and confidence of our nation! This is my unchanging will in this life! ”

David said: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, your ambition will definitely be realized, we will always support the strong, I believe that when you raise the banner of anti-Qing, although many people are very uncomfortable, but in the end, their balance will be on your side."

Fifteen years ago, when your father was still alive, he talked to me about the same topic, and he was so eager to use his own strength to change the status quo of your nation, but at that time, the historical time was extremely immature, your economy was not very strong, and there was still a shortage of talents. So, your father, at that time, was really impatient, and even rushed for a while.

Later, he saw your growth, and he suddenly showed great excitement in his letters to me, and I was able to read it because he saw hope in you.

Your Excellency King of Hainan, I wish you as a friend and hope that your great ambition will be realized. ”

"Thank you for your blessings, General David. I think a game against the sky is about to begin! ”。
