"Mr. Sadaoyi, China sincerely hopes that such an incident that seriously affects bilateral friendship will not happen again in the future. China and Britain are both world powers, and both have huge mutual assistance interests in each other, and China is not afraid of war, but it also does not want to be overshadowed by the shadow of war that is not coming. ”

In the No. 3 conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, He Ruzhang, the current Zuo Lang of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said directly to the British ambassador to China, Sadaoyi.

Just as the outside world speculated, the armed forces of the peninsula stranded Kuwait's borders, and the southern troops withdrew from Kuwaiti territory because the British hidden behind them reached a secret consensus with China on bilateral economic and trade interests and some issues in the Middle East.

The British master shouted 'stop', and the chiefs of the peninsula naturally had to be obedient. Central Kuwait was also truly free from the threat of war.

Sa Daoyi had a fake smile on his face, and shame was flowing in his heart. As a qualified diplomat, he was able to clearly recognize the strength of China and the threat to the world hegemony of the British Empire, and he was able to face this correctly. But when he signed the secret treaty with the Chinese government, which was very fair, even at the slight disadvantage of the British Empire, a sense of shame followed.

At least the white people of his generation cannot really be the change in the status of the yellow race. The words 'white, supremacy' have turned into an obsession and are deeply rooted in their bone marrow. The stronger China is, the more hysterical it will be, rather than the dissolution of this obsession!

This is like the Qing Dynasty after a crow, on the one hand, it is afraid of foreigners, and on the other hand, it is unwilling to make any changes. I just want to continue to live in the illusory dream of the Heavenly Empire.

Consider Napoleon's description of China: a sleeping lion.

When Liu Xian first heard this sentence in his previous life, he simply understood this sentence as the meaning that the Celestial Empire wanted. -- As long as China awakens, it will become very powerful. Because China's own conditions are extremely strong. And this very important awakening is the enlightenment and awakening of the Red Party!

I don't know what Napoleon actually meant, but that's not the smell at all!

This is like Edison's famous quote that has influenced countless Chinese children and teenagers - genius is one percent inspiration. Ninety-nine percent perspiration. But that 1% of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat. [Marked, this sentence may also be wrong, if you want to know the truth, just go to English, the translated meaning, the Celestial Empire still has a little conscience]

Countless Chinese children only know the first half of the sentence, but they don't know that there is a second half of the sentence at all, and Napoleon's sentence is the same as this!

The invincible French Emperor Napoleon I was defeated by the European anti-French coalition in 1814. In 1815, he organized an army of 300,000 troops to launch an attack on the European anti-French coalition, only to suffer a complete defeat at Waterloo. On 22 June, Napoleon was forced to abdicate and was soon imprisoned by British troops on the island of St. Helena in the distant Atlantic. In his third year of imprisonment, Amsterd succeeded George in his life. Macartney was followed by another British diplomat who had gone to China and returned from China in despair. On his way home, he happened to pass through the island of St. Helena. When Amsterd heard that Napoleon I, the world-famous king, was being held here, he was eager to meet him. Hear what the legend has to say about China. With the consent of the governor of the island, Amster met with the former emperor. Amsterd talked about his own experience in China, arguing that only by knocking on China's door through war could China's autocratic rulers understand that opening the door was beneficial to both sides. Then. Napoleon, full of contempt for British approach, commented on the British idea of using war to solve the problem: "It is the greatest folly in the world to fight against this vast and rich empire." He continued: "At first you may succeed, you will take their ships." Destroy their military and commercial facilities, but you will also make them understand their own power. They will think; They will build ships. Equip yourself with artillery. They would bring in gunners from France, the United States and even London to build a fleet. Defeat you. Amsterd retorted: "Behind China's superficial strength is a giant with feet of clay, very weak. "But Napoleon believed that China was not weak, it was nothing more than a sleeping lion." Today, it seems that the lion is asleep, and even a fly dares to fall on its face and scream a few times. Napoleon went on to say: "When China is awakened, the world will be shaken." After this sentence came out of Napoleon's mouth, it produced a very strong sensational effect, and "a sleeping lion -- China" quickly spread throughout Europe and the world.

But what is the essence of this sentence? It's not that China has to go through the awakening, but that China itself has extremely strong power, and they just need to 'bring in gunners from France, the United States and even London to build a fleet', and that's it!

It was this kind of thinking, which was taken for granted by later generations of Chinese, that was completely abandoned by the Manchu rulers. Let China completely fall into a hundred years of humiliation, and let themselves suffer one humiliation after another for more than half a century!

Today, Sa Daoyi uses himself as an example to show that the urine of the shrunken turtle is not only in the East, but also in the West.

Sa Daoyi, who was holding back his anger in the Chinese Foreign Ministry, went out of the gate and did not return to the British embassy in China, but went directly to the racecourse in the north of the city. In the UK, the Du Marco is a traditional favourite of John the Bull. Most of the Chinese in later generations know that Hong Kong people are good duma, whether it is from Hong Kong TV dramas or movies, you can see Hong Kong people's love for duma. I learned it all from the British.

Liu Xian doesn't like 'dubo'. In his previous life, he couldn't fight 'majiang'. But he knew that 'dubo' was too common, too popular, and too well-established in China. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know much about caipiao, liuhecai, suangseqiu, etc., and didn't seem to do a lot of evil, the bocai industry would definitely become a new pillar of China's finances.

In addition to removing liuhecai and suangseqiu, Liu Xian only set up the Du horse again. Because Du horses will inevitably arouse the interest of the world's wealthy families in raising horses. There are very few horses that may end up racing at all levels. Maybe only a few hundred, or less. But as a base group, horses kept in the homes of wealthy families. It must be dozens or hundreds of times more than the horses that are officially on the field, and they are all excellent horses that have been trained, but they have been eliminated in the process of training. Although this thing is also a 'dubo', it can have a touch of intensity and excitement, and will promote the improvement of Chinese horse breeds to a certain extent. As a result, the racecourse in the north of the city has developed into one of the liveliest places in Beijing on rest days, just like the football league in Beijing. Not only the upper-class aristocrats and wealthy people loved it, but also the middle and lower classes. Even some people will take a fixed part of the monthly salary to duma. So, the impact is huge. Football that is not weaker than the mass base is far-reaching!

And polo, which appeared along with the racetrack, has lagged behind horse racing and football to a certain extent to this day.

Well, the scale, revenue, and influence are about the same as basketball. Maybe by next year, when the year after next, it will have been surpassed by basketball.

In any case, the Chinese government vigorously promotes sports competitions, and it is very promising that after the further development of transportation, a national league will be quickly formed, so as to form various professional leagues in the Western world, football, basketball, rugby, etc.

And Athens three years ago. In the very year of the end of the war, the first modern Summer Olympics had been held. With 323 athletes from 14 countries, including Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Poland, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, the United States, France, Chile, Switzerland, Sweden and host Greece, Liu Siam's presence and the powerful storm he set off did not deter the Olympics. Compared to history, this Olympic Games has been pushed back a few months in time. Instead, there was one more country, Poland, and 12 athletes.

Of course, this year's Olympic Games are also the same as in history, and there are no Chinese. As for its news. It is also almost invisible in Chinese public opinion.

But Liu Xian had a different mind, he wanted to hold a conference that belonged to China. The Olympic Games of the East - the World Games.

Although the Chinese government has vigorously developed sports, Liu Xian really did not think about holding any games. Lacking this in his head, he was destined to fall behind the Olympics. But China has a strong national power and influence, with various sports groups organized by the government, and Beijing has the largest and most complete series of sports facilities in the entire world.

Liu Xian waited for the birth of the Fifth Cabinet, and then in 1900, just as the Second Modern Olympic Games were held, the Fifth Cabinet would also officially announce the hosting of the first China-led World Games - referred to as the World Games.

This Root Olympics will be two completely different concepts. The Olympics are still non-governmental organizations, and they do not have the support of strong political and economic forces, and when the first Olympics were held, they could barely get together the funds.

Athletes from many countries are self-organized and self-funded, and some of them participate for sightseeing.

The China-led World Games will have all the administrative conveniences and strong economic support. There are also far more events than the Olympics, with only nine sports in Athens: athletics, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, cycling, Greco-Roman wrestling, gymnastics, fencing and tennis.

On this basis, the World Games will add 10 major sports such as basketball, football, kickboxing, triathlon, archery, equestrian, tennis, billiards, badminton and weightlifting, increasing the number of competition events to 19 events, and each sub-event will more than double the number of events. And most of the events allow women, especially equestrian, to compete in the same field, even regardless of gender.

China has already greeted Japan, North Korea, Nguyen Chao and Nam Thien Kingdom about the World Games, and has also notified Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and many other countries in the Americas. China will not participate in the Games as a single country, but will be divided into provinces or regions such as Jiangnan, Central China and Lingnan to participate in the World Games. This news is no longer a secret in the world.

But it doesn't matter if this Gensa Daoyi comes to the racecourse, it's far away. (To be continued......)
