The attitude of the Chinese?

The attitude of the Chinese is not an issue that should be considered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The opinion of several senators is that, in principle, the attitude of the Chinese is important, after all, they have demonstrated to the world what can be done when they become angry; But the reality is that since the ultimate goal of the United States is only to gain interests in China, it is a boring joke to consider the attitude of the Chinese.

Normal and country-loving Chinese will certainly stand on the opposite side of the national interests of the United States, and Washington can value the opinions of these people, but will definitely not accept them; Chinese who intend to sell their national interests for personal gain will side with the United States, but the opinions of these people will not even be taken seriously by Washington.

No one will pay attention to the opinion of some insignificant puppet, they only need to accept the orders of the behind-the-scenes manipulators without reservation, and then work hard to complete the task; If a puppet is unable to complete his task, or makes irresponsible remarks about orders, a new puppet replaces him.

It's just that simple.

"Washington will never change its policy because of the attitude of the Chinese." After a few seconds, one senator said, as if to patch up his speech, perhaps to avoid Qin Lang's bad feelings, added: "Of course, no one can change our policy." ”

In addition to the consortium. The senator didn't say the last word, but everyone knew what he was hiding.

Only conglomerates can change Washington's policies, because they are made at their behest or with their acquiescence. Qin Lang regretted that his company had not yet become a first-class consortium with a pivotal position that could manipulate U.S. policy; Now he can only gradually lead Washington to the path he has chosen for it through his close relationship with the consortium, with the help of the consortium.

Of course, he can always succeed because he can always find a new strategy that appears more advantageous in every way.

Qin Lang smiled again, then put away his smile. "Senator, I must remind you that it is the ends and the results that matter, and that policy is only the means to the ends - but the means, which do not have a fixed form, are complex and changeable, and can be adjusted at any time according to the actual situation."

"Of course I know that the policy can be adjusted, Mr. Qin." "But I still don't think it's necessary to take into account the attitude of the Chinese when we make policy." ”

"On the contrary, Senator, Washington needs to seriously consider the attitude of the Chinese," Qin Lang said, "and only then can we develop effective strategies that meet the actual situation." ”

"You ......"

"What's your reason, Mr. Qin." Another senator stepped in, just right.

"That's right," Qin Lang turned his head over, "I believe that every member of the Senate can see a problem from last year's war, about the aggression of Western countries - forgive me for using that word," he stopped a senator's attempt to interject in this way, "It is obvious that the patience of the Chinese has reached the maximum level that can be tolerated." That's their attitude. ”

"Yes." The senator who spoke first spread his hands, "But so what? Do you want us to abandon China? ”

"Nope." Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders, "I just think that the kind of straightforward and violent policy adopted before has become anachronistic, and Washington should choose a more covert and moderate policy again." ”

"Violent policy ......," the senator cried, but was interrupted by the same colleague who had interrupted him earlier, "you know that this accusation is unwarranted, Mr. Qin. He said with an indignant face, "The United States has never used force to invade China, but has only asked other countries to implement the open-door policy......

"In fact, we did use force." The first senator burst into laughter, "Mr. Qin's army once besieged the Chinese city next to the concession in Canton Bay, and after being supported by Commodore Mahan's fleet, they besieged Canton again. ”

He was happy. Of course, what could be more interesting and effective? Counter his unwarranted accusations of Washington's policy with what Qin Lang's army has done, which is undoubtedly grossly unjustified, and Washington never intended to enter China by force.

Although, in large part, this was due to the fact that the United States' weak, 27,000-strong Union Army was completely unable to take on the task of an invasion across the Pacific...... And the cowards of the Democratic Party. These cowards were even against going to war with Spain, let alone passing a bill to allocate funds to the expedition to China.

The Democrat fools missed all the golden opportunities to expand American influence in China by force, and now, although Republicans are once again in charge, China's problems can no longer be solved by force.

As Qin Lang said, last year's war has proved to the world that traditional, straightforward policies have become anachronistic, and that the Western world must choose a new policy of concealment and moderation – the problem is that Washington does not have to.

"Since our policy has been covert and moderate, I don't think we need to change it." The senator asked rhetorically, "Isn't it, Mr. Qin?" ”

"If it's just from the perspective of the United States itself, it's true." Qin Lang replied calmly, and then said, "However, we must consider the whole world. There is no doubt that all Western countries are acutely aware that traditional policies have become anachronistic, but not all governments will abandon it. ”

"So?"

"As long as there is one Western country that sticks to its original brutal policy, the interests of the United States will be threatened." Qin Lang explained, "The Chinese do not know the difference between Americans, British, Germans, French and Russians, and of course they will not waste time and energy trying to figure out this difference." For the Chinese, all Westerners belong to the same cluster, which means that they will blame every Western country for the brutality of one country. ”

There was a buzzing sound. Several senators talked to each other for a moment, then nodded together. "It's a real threat." Then, the senator who spoke at the outset went on to say, "I personally believe that the Chinese government should correct its people's misconceptions about the Western world." ”

Qin Lang shook his head slowly. "It's moot, it takes a lot of time, and it's ineffective. And as I said earlier, Chinese don't waste time and energy trying to figure out the differences between Westerners. ”

The people of an arrogant and self-contained country will never take the initiative to understand the situation in another country or region - especially those that are discriminated against - not only Chinese, but citizens of every country, the only difference is the degree.

So the Chinese in the late nineteenth century saw all whites as citizens of the same country, and countless ridiculous rumors about whites were circulating that bordered on horror novels, and most would believe them to be true; Therefore, until the 21st century, Westerners still believed that the standard dress of Chinese was the official uniform of Qing officials, with braids, and women with small feet.

Of course, this in no way prevents people from making a fuss about the ownership of an area they can't even find on a map.

Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders secretly, returning his attention to the topic he was discussing, and said, "Actually, gentlemen, we should put the hope of eliminating hidden dangers on European countries. As long as they can change their policies and act in accordance with our policies, the problem will no longer be a problem. ”

"It can't be!" Including Bush and Harriman, the people in the room screamed almost at the same time.

Undoubtedly. Several senators believe that Qin Lang is asking Washington to do something that is at least impossible for now: to demand that Europe change its old policy and then act according to the new policy proposed by the United States...... When pigs fly. Although it is a goal that Washington aspires to achieve, now this goal can only be the fantasy of the White House and Congress: not a single European country is likely to accept the demands of the United States.

A hillbilly country far from the center of the world. Several senators are well aware of what Europeans think of the United States. Although they were disgusted with the arrogance of Europeans, they also felt helpless.

The United States has the world's most powerful economic and industrial base, but it does not have a military force to match it, and certainly does not have the political clout to lead the world, and it will take a long time and a lot of effort to change this terrible situation.

It can be expected that at least within thirty years, Qin Lang's proposal will not become a reality.

However, Qin Lang should be aware of these issues. Several senators thought about it for a moment and thought he should have just made a bad joke.

"Your joke isn't ridiculous at all, Mr. Qin."

"Gentlemen, I'm not kidding." Qin Lang said seriously.

The buzz was heard again. Several senators had to turn their heads again, trying to figure out Qin Lang's intentions. But Bush took a more direct approach to their problem: "What's your plan?" ”

"The British," a sneer flashed across Qin Lang's face, "they are fighting the Boers, and for the foreseeable future, they will focus their attention on the Germans - that is, for a long time, the British will not have enough strength to pay attention to the situation in the Far East." In order to safeguard its Far Eastern interests, London will adopt a defensive posture and do everything in its power to maintain the status quo in the Far East. ”

He paused for a drink and continued: "But Russia has enough strength to continue to occupy Chinese territory and change the balance of power in the Far East. In fact, St. Petersburg is speeding up the construction of its Far Eastern Railway......"

"So St. Petersburg will become the biggest obstacle for London to maintain the situation in the Far East." The senator, who had spoken at the outset, had finished his discussion with his colleagues, and this was the right time to interject, "But, according to the usual style of the British, they will act to sabotage the actions of the Russians, will they?" ”

"I have already said that the British do not have enough strength." A smile appeared on Qin Lang's face again, "And in order to deal with Berlin, London will definitely seek to form a strategic alliance with St. Petersburg." So it was impossible for the British to intervene in the actions of the Russians by direct action, and only to deliver limited blows through the Japanese. ”

"Unfortunately, the Japanese are in serious economic trouble." Harriman had thoroughly figured out what he meant, and took over the right to speak, "Without economic support, whether the Japanese still have the strength to stop the Russians becomes a question that needs to be seriously considered." ”

"And the most that Japan can do is sabotage Russian expansion in northeastern China and the Korean Peninsula," Qin continued, "and even if they encounter obstacles, the Russians can still invade in a different direction, such as western China, which is closer to the more sensitive South Asian subcontinent to the British." ”

Serious threats. Everyone has reached a consensus. Russia could threaten British interests in the Far East and South Asia, but Britain could not strike back effectively against Germany. Wilhelm II's plans for the Grand Fleet and the German Volunteers in Southern Africa had clearly broken through London's last line - but the British Empire would never see its interests threatened.

It will do everything to stop the Russians. If it cannot be done by military means, then political means are used.

And Qin Lang's plan ......

"If Washington proposes that Western countries sign a treaty with China, declaring respect for China's sovereignty and independence, as well as its territorial integrity, prohibiting the signatories from using any means to undermine them, and at the same time stipulating that China implements an open-door policy so that the signatories have exactly equal opportunities for normal business activities, London will certainly be on our side."

"Really?" Harriman couldn't be sure: according to Qin Lang's suggestion, the United States was the country that would benefit the most, not the United Kingdom.
