Chapter 337: Why Can't We?

Scist is a person who thinks he is very personable, not a person who messes around, so although Li Yongji's reasons are not good, he still does not get angry, the reason is simple, because he can't refute it.

After all, apart from the stance and the like, if you think about it from another perspective, what people say is right. If you can grab that land from the Mexicans, then others can also grab it from you, and the key is not whether it is reasonable or not, but who can fight better.

At this time, no matter what legal principles, morality, since ancient times, it is useless to say anything like that, you can't beat others, of course you have to be soft.

The Indians couldn't beat the Europeans, so they couldn't keep the rich land in the Americas, so they had to give it to the Europeans, and at that time, no one would sympathize with the Indians, even if they did, it was useless.

The original Chinese could not defeat the Europeans, so they could only cede land and pay reparations to endure humiliation, and everyone would not sympathize with the defeated Chinese, but would only be full of contempt.

Later, the Chinese suddenly rose strongly, although they did not fight with the old enemies such as Britain and France, but they defeated the Russians who were the hegemons in Europe, so they asked for back the land that the Russians had seized from China, and also cut off the land that did not belong to China.

Not only that, but independence defeated the Russians, and also made European countries recognize China's status as a great power, and began to treat China as an equal power, even slightly higher than the Ottomans.
