"Miracle!

There are too many miracles in this world, and people all over the world always have this and that opinion about the perception of miracles, and people will argue about whether a certain thing is a miracle or not, which is a miracle, and when faced with many things, people are always there arguing whether it is a miracle or not.

Of course, the results vary!

What is a recognized miracle in this world?

For the twentieth century, there was a miracle that is well known and recognized by the world around the world - the rise of the Chinese Empire. Almost any historian studying the history of the twentieth century cannot avoid one topic: the Chinese Empire.

Unlike other countries, the Chinese Empire was almost synchronized with the twentieth century, and the history of the world after 1902 was the history of the Chinese Empire.

Looking back at history, it is a miracle that the rise of the Chinese empire will always attract the attention of historians and economists, and no one can deny this, who can imagine that the Chinese have achieved what it would take Europeans a hundred or even two hundred years to achieve in just thirty years.

Someone described China as "before him, a country on the verge of extinction, a nation in 258 years of colonial slavery, and behind him, the country is the most powerful, richest, and most developed country in the world, a country that was once ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia" and bullied by the European powers, but is now the leader of the world."

Who is he? It is well known - Emperor Hongwu.

I think there has never been a single person in the world who has been able to influence a nation, a country or even the whole world so profoundly. Of course, in the history of Britain, there has never been an enemy more dangerous than him!

The billion Chinese living around the world still benefit from the empire they built, they enjoy the happiness and comfort created by their predecessors, and the rich and stable national environment allows the country to invest the same amount of money as the rest of the world's education for the education of the people, and the development of education ensures their dominance, which is the basis for its science and technology to be far ahead of the world.

…… They (Chinese) can enjoy China's architectural achievements in peace—highways and high-speed railways across the Eurasian continent, and Chinese-owned hotel chains...... On weekends, they can wander around art centers and galleries, eat delicious food, and enjoy the world's most sought-after "blockbusters...... This is a millennium era that belongs to China, and even God will be jealous of their lives......

This peaceful environment was the result of the eternal peace achieved by the founders of the empire and the victory of the Chinese Empire under its command in two world wars less than forty years after the establishment of the empire. After a hundred years of development, the Chinese Empire has become the true first empire in the world.

Although the clouds of the Cold War still hung over China and Germany, and the threat of war still existed, the people of the Chinese Empire were able to enjoy such a comfortable time thanks to the successful conclusion of World War II. The Cold War may not have been avoidable, but in the thermonuclear age, no country wants to go that far.

In addition to the territory left over from the puppet Qing Empire, the War against Russia in 1902 gave it the acquisition of the entire four provinces of Siberia and Dongying, plus Hawaii and the Nanyang Special Dominion (all of which benefited from the military adventures of the Northeast Governorate) and, of course, the Philippines, the only colony of the Empire.

When the empire was founded in 1902, as the world's most extensive empire, it was naïve to think that the vast empire's territorial ambitions might have stopped. But the idea was naïve, and just a decade later, as the arms race intensified, war finally broke out.

At the same time that Europe was embroiled in a war provoked by Germany, the whole world finally realized what a "yellow tide" was: in just a dozen hours, millions of Chinese troops poured into Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific from Yunnan, Guangxi, and the southern Dominions by land and sea, shouting the slogan of "liberating Asia."

French Central and South China (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), Burma, Malaysia, Java, Sumatra, and other places became their satellite states, while the once huge British India was divided into Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Ceylon, and as many as two dozen independent states such as Hyderabad, Kashmir, Junagut, Jodhpur, Bhopal, and Indore, but without exception, these so-called independent countries were all satellite states, and their government, defense, and foreign affairs received all aspects of China in the Asian Parliament"Guidance", and China has grasped the power of its national economy through multinational corporations, and it is precisely from that period that a new term has been added to the dictionary of world words - neocolonialism.

They really liberated Asia!

In a way, it does!

The thirty-five member states of the Asian Parliament seem to indicate this fact to the people, but what about outside Asia?

Australia and New Zealand became provinces of the Empire, and New Guinea, French Polynesia, and Panama became the Overseas Provinces of the Empire.

Their territorial expansion did not stop there, just as they took advantage of the war and seized the British territories in Asia and the Pacific, they also encroached on Africa, landing their troops in Kenya, followed by the Belgian Congo, Rhodesia, and South Africa, and most of Africa was shrouded in unprecedented brutal colonial rule.

If the Chinese in Asia are practicing neocolonialism, then what they are promoting in Africa is naked colonization and "racial" colonization - almost immediately after their occupation of the African colonies, they further suppressed the political rights of the indigenous people, formulated a series of apartheid policies (the author does not point out that these apartheid policies were not actually Chinese inventions, most of them were inherited from the British, and apartheid policies were strengthened, In large part because of the instigation of black riots by Britain and France. ）。

Under Chinese rule, it exacerbated the policy of apartheid in all aspects. In 1913, intermarriage between different races was banned. Interracial sex was also a crime in 1914. In 1915, the colonial government introduced a system of compulsory racial classification, promoting identity cards and identifying their race on them. In the same year, the African colonies were formally divided into different regions and divided among different ethnic groups.

Despite the fact that apartheid had led to a rebellion that continued to this day since the '50s, China did not seem to have the will to abandon its colonies - they insisted that the empire would never sacrifice peace at the expense of its nationals in its overseas territories. At the cost of maintaining a garrison of up to one million troops in Africa and a civil defense force of three million Peranakans.

Is it worth the 50-year-long war of law and order at the cost of millions of black casualties, hundreds of thousands of Chinese military and civil defense troops, and hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars in military spending?

Whenever asked, the Chinese official's answer is always – it's worth it!

Don't give up an inch of land!

This was even the root cause of China's involvement in two world wars - the First World War because of Hong Kong and the British territories of Kowloon and the Ryukyus, as well as the leased territories. World War II was fought because the United States was trying to drive China out of Panama. And in order to maintain this seemingly inconspicuous interest, China resolutely chose a world war as a response.

In the face of such a super-power, the whole world has to carefully consider the use of force, sanctions, or restrictions, or even racial discrimination against it -- because this country has the ability to destroy the world. Although Germany has the same ability, it is important to note that Germany has been shrinking in all directions since the sixties, and in the following forty years, from German North America to German North America, which was not self-governing until ten years ago, and that the Reichstag agreed to this only because twenty years ago the proportion of Chinese immigrants had finally exceeded the proportion of European people in Chinese North America.

So, today, when people are talking about what kind of peace this vast empire will bring to the world, I need to remind you of one thing - historically, they have never given up even the slightest benefit to satisfy the interests of other nations, even if it is for the sake of longer-term benefits.

And all this needs to be traced back to the founding of the empire, starting from the moment in 1902, when this empire replaced the Manchu Empire. It was at this moment that China began to embark on the path of real foreign expansion and the construction of a great empire. Despite the difficulties of this road, and despite the unknown risks of this road, they still persevered on the path of expansion, determined to succeed in the end, and will not stop.

Today, some people are delusional about sharing peace with them, and I would like to quote a Chinese proverb - no doubt play the piano to the cow! ”

Empire

As a naval officer, Kimmel was too young for him, only 26 years old, having visited Yokohama, China, and Hong Kong, under British rule, with the Great White Fleet five years ago as a naval cadet.

And now, as a naval attache in China, he has come to China. Four years ago, after the voyage of the Great White Fleet, he saw the shock of the "Warring States Ships" in Yokohama for the first time, so that he immediately asked the Chinese students in the school to learn Chinese when he returned to the Annapolis Naval School.

After he graduated, the arms race between China and the United States, which was mainly manifested in the construction of "Warring States Ships", made him, a "China expert", a star among his fellow cadets -- even the president knew his name, and it was for this reason that after serving on the ship for a year, he was transferred to China as a naval attaché at the embassy in China.

And the reason why he came to Nanjing was to collect intelligence on the Chinese Navy. At the same time, we should have a fuller understanding of this young fleet, although to some extent, the US Navy is also as young as them -- more than a decade ago, they were both regional fleets, but now, the disparity in strength between the two sides is only three "warships", and it can be said that in this competition, both sides are competing without giving an inch.

It is precisely because the gap is so small that they need to understand this fleet and the Chinese Navy, but limited by China's foreign policy, Captain Kimmel cannot go to Pearl Harbor or Yokosuka, which he is more interested in, especially the former, Pearl Harbor China's largest naval base in the Pacific, is also the basis for the Chinese Navy to master the Pacific, and it is precisely because of the Chinese's mastery of Pearl Harbor that the entire West Coast of the United States is facing the threat of war almost day and night, as the arms race intensifiesEven states on the west coast are calling for naval fortifications to block the threat from China.

But just because he couldn't go directly to Pearl Harbor, a forbidden area for foreigners, didn't mean he couldn't get news from other sources, such as the fact that he could learn about the Pacific Fleet from the side through some friends.

"Outside, the U.S. Congress approved the construction of four New York-class battleships!"

"Extraordinary, the Pacific arms race intensifies......"

Walking on the streets, Kimmel heard the loud shouts of newspaper sellers, and the approval of four New York-class battleships by Congress was shocking news for the Chinese press, but he knew that those Chinese colleagues were not surprised at all, their intelligence officers had already obtained this information, and besides, the discussion in Congress was semi-public, and it was only a matter of whether to approve it or not.

Even when members of Congress in Washington were debating whether to approve the construction of the New York-class battleships, the Chinese Navy General Staff had already made a decision to build six Imperial-class battleships.

Long before the past, the Chinese had built all the dynasties in their history, and now, they began to choose those emperors in history to name their capital ships, and sometimes the long history also has certain benefits, such as the United States, if the 49 states and Washington, D.C. names are used up, I am afraid the Navy will need to consider new capital ship naming rules.

However, it seems that all this is still far away, at least for now, the two navies do not have to think about this issue, and for the two navies, the more important issue is not to let the other side surpass themselves.

"I don't know, how will he react today because of the news he brought?"

Walking silently forward, Kimmel couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming meeting...... (To be continued.) )
