"If you change your attitude in my hands, it will be a bit abrupt, and it will be easier for you, a former Qing minister, to show a pro-Western image, and win the trust of Westerners. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info", Yuan Shikai understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that Li Hui didn't really want to coexist peacefully with the West, but just wanted him to act for the West and let him relax his vigilance. But what Yuan Shikai is puzzled about is that isn't it good to coexist peacefully? Yuan Shikai felt that China's territory was now vast enough, and there was no need to fight with the Western powers, and it was the right way to focus on domestic development and develop with peace of mind.

Li Hui couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Indeed, now China's arable land has more than doubled, as long as it is fully developed, it is enough for 500 million people to achieve food and clothing, and even a well-off, but China's population will continue to grow, the first national census was 500 million people, ten years later there should be more than 600 million, thirty years later may even exceed 1 billion!" In the distant future, it is possible to reach 1.5 billion, or even 2 billion people, do you still think that China's territory is big enough? Moreover, we must not be satisfied with just feeding the common people, but also allow them to eat meat dishes regularly, and even eat more animal food than grains as in the West, and need several times more arable land, pastures, fisheries, and tropical plantations......"

"You don't want to conquer the world, do you?" , Yuan Shikai subconsciously wiped a cold sweat, he had long known that Li Hui was ambitious, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

But Li Hui shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not true, according to the experience of the West, with the development of industrialization, the fertility rate will continue to decline, and there may even be negative population growth in the future. The arable land in the United States should be no less than 3 billion mu, and the quality is very good, as long as the United States is eaten, I will basically be able to achieve my goal. As long as the population reaches 1 billion, and the per capita grain output of our China can still reach the current Western standards, then there is no need to continue to expand the territory, and even if it does, it will be more for the sake of obtaining resources than for the land itself......

After Li Hui confessed, Yuan Shikai suddenly gasped, Li Hui's hostility to the United States is well known to the world, but no one could have thought that he actually planned to swallow such a huge United States, this is simply crazy! But now that he knew it, Yuan Shikai quickly figured out why he wanted to play a pro-Western role, "It turned out that I wanted to confuse the Western powers and prevent the Americans from pulling too many allies." ”

But Yuan Shikai immediately shook his head again, frowned, and said, "But this is impossible!" Even if the Europeans sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight at the beginning, once the United States is really in danger of national destruction, they will definitely send troops to intervene! The truth of cold lips and teeth is not only known to us Chinese! ”

"Wei Ting is right, but it is impossible for a big country like the United States to swallow it in one bite, it will cause indigestion and a big mess, I guess it will have to be fought three times. And my expectation for Weiting is that there is no intervention of European powers in the first war against the United States, if it cannot be avoided, then at least a few powerful allies in Europe must be pulled to fight side by side, and we can't let our family face a bunch of them. Li Hui said his plan, and then his eyes turned sharply and said, "As long as the first war against the United States can achieve my goal, even if I have to be the enemy of the entire West in the second war, I may not have no chance of winning." ”

Yuan Shikai was obviously not as confident as Li Hui, he hesitated, but still opened his mouth to question, "It was very simple to win the British War before, but it doesn't mean that our strength is really that strong. The war with India in the South Seas was geographically advantageous to us and greatly disadvantageous to the British, but in the United States it was the opposite; The disparity in exchange in the British War was largely due to the fact that we were the first to use a lot of new weapons, but the Western powers have a deep heritage and can catch up very quickly, can you guarantee that in the future decisive battle, our weapons and equipment will be so much more advanced than the West? Before the defeat of the war, Britain certainly claimed to be the hegemon of the world, but its strength was still far from that of the whole West, and when it was an enemy of us, it would still be held back by other European powers, and it would not be able to concentrate all its forces against us, but if we were an enemy of the entire West, the enemy we would have to face would be ten times stronger than Britain! ”

Li Hui patiently listened to Yuan Shikai's words and did not get angry, but showed a relieved smile, because only if you really love this country, you will not hesitate to contradict yourself. It seems that although Yuan Shikai has long lost his personal temperament, at least he still retains the patriotic heart he had when he was in Rong, and he has entrusted him with important responsibilities in vain.

"As long as the first war against the United States meets my expectations, then the national strength of the United States will be greatly damaged, and we can establish a self-sufficient industrial zone in North America, and when we are at war with the United States again, having this industrial zone to provide soldiers and supplies nearby can greatly reduce the burden on the homeland, so that we can have the ability to fight with the United States in North America for a long time. The location of Europe is indeed much closer to North America than China, but the Atlantic Ocean has frequent storms and bad sea conditions, while the Pacific Ocean is much safer when you hear the name, and the actual shipping efficiency is not so bad, and the Atlantic shipping also has a fatal weakness, and now we do not have the conditions to take advantage of it, but at that time, hehe. Li Hui stood up and said with a confident smile, "As for weapons and equipment, it is true that it will be difficult to have such a big gap in the future, but as long as the supply of funds is guaranteed, the scientific research strength of Xia Ke Island alone is enough to ensure that the equipment level of the Chinese Navy and Army will always maintain the world's advanced level, even if it can't be surpassed, at least it will not lose to them." ”

Yuan Shikai always had some doubts in his heart about Xia Ke Island, and he couldn't ask clearly, so he could only use this topic to make a suggestion, "Führer, you see that the revolution has been successful and the foreign enemy has been defeated, is it possible to disclose the location of Xia Ke Island?" ”

Li Hui's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Yuan Shikai's heart trembled, and he hurriedly explained, "After it is made public, it can be directly navigated, which is much more economical and convenient." ”

"We have experienced too many tribulations and betrayals in the history of Momen, and Xia Ke Island is used as a base and retreat, before we are completely victorious, the Momen has the right to know, Weiting, you don't care." , Li Hui has now realized how hard it is to keep the lie round, so he simply does not explain and refuses directly.
