Britain, France, Germany and Russia have always been wary of China and the United States.

These two big guys, one east and one west, rank first or second in the world in terms of economic aggregate, and together they steadily surpass the sum of the traditional European powers, neither of which is a fuel-efficient lamp.

If you have to divide the top and bottom, it looks like China is more ferocious. After all, the naval and land armies that have defeated the great powers in many wars, and the Tsarist Russia on land, with this strength alone, the average country has temporarily abandoned the idea of a 10,000-mile expedition - supporting hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the east, and the British Empire will have to go bankrupt in less than a year!

The United States, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, is supposedly closer to the great powers, and in recent years, after the economic development and industrial explosion and the population have grown with it, it has clearly begun to break away from the control of Europe. Having won the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War, the rise of a regional power has become unstoppable. Similarly, the European powers have no chance of taking out the United States.

These two goods are separated by two oceans, not to mention transcendental, at least not under the control of the Old World. Although they can't launch an expedition across the sea for the time being, they seem to be able to do it when they wait to pick up the bargain!

The British have always been backed by strong military power, and they have instigated them to fight to the death, but now there are two more players with that capital all of a sudden, and the world pattern has changed greatly because of this, and they are really anxious in their hearts.

But it's useless to be anxious, the Germans want to become the hegemon of Europe, they want to go crazy, and now they are even more provoked by the Chinese to attack, and they attack France aggressively, it seems that the success rate is quite high, can't Nima grow snacks? Can't see that those guys have bad intentions at all?

The British had to go off the field and finally moved Russia to join the group to help the punch, barely withstanding the first wave of German attacks. Meantime. They didn't forget to stare at the two strong men overseas. I'm afraid that the other party will hit the dog's brain on his side. Suddenly, I started to pick up the cheap.

If it were the UK, it would have done so.

For many years, Britain has been provoking others to fight almost, and they themselves have come out to "preside over justice", and by the way, they have a lot of fun.

Today, but on the other hand, Britain can't help but mutter, is this what the Chinese say "thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi"?

It's okay, it's okay. Seeing that the war in Europe was mired in a quagmire and that there was no possible end in sight for three or five months, the Chinese and Americans finally could not hold back and began to "make stupid moves."

For a time, the Europeans rejoiced, luck, luck!

At a reception to celebrate the great victory at the front, Kaiser Wilhelm II proudly declared: "My judgment is not wrong, and my Chinese friends have made the most correct decision at the most appropriate time." The strife in the Far East will inevitably go hand in hand with the war in Europe. A new pattern that will determine the future of the world. I hope that the generals can grasp the rhythm and timing, when there is a change in the New World. Our fleet can appear in time where she is supposed to play its role! ”

Ambition is something that everyone has.

Wilhelm II, not to mention how arrogant and conceited he was, expanding his territory or something, was a necessary quality for a qualified monarch of a European power. Seizing every opportunity to seize the colony was his national policy from the beginning, and he did not hesitate to fall out with the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck.

Although I don't quite approve of the recklessness and impatience of the Junker aristocracy and the military, and go to war without being fully prepared, since it has already been fought and the fight is not bad, then simply keep doing it.

Of course, if the dispute in the Pacific becomes more intense, and China and the United States fight head-to-head, Germany should be the one who shares the cake, no matter which one loses miserably.

Thinking about these two countries, with tens of millions of square kilometers of fertile land, rich mineral resources, huge population market, and amazing industrial base, Wilhelm II couldn't help but feel excited: "No matter which one of them is taken, in short, the strength of the German Empire will definitely increase exponentially!" ”

At this time, Wilhelm II began to think about whether it was appropriate to control the intensity of the war in Europe, to support the Anglo-French coalition army, to clean up the Russian madman, and to completely cover the power of the empire in Europe and West Asia, with access to the sea in the north, south, east and west.

Well, the idea is so beautiful, but it's not easy to realize!

The French and the British hated the Germans so much!

If it weren't for the fact that these guys with heads full of engine oil and steel provoked a competition to build ships, obviously they didn't have the strength and technology, and they still had to compete for supremacy at sea, why would Britain be dragged to build battleships? Can there be so many advanced guys in the nursing home?

Just building warships is not over, the girl actually took the initiative to provoke a war, and caused the British Empire to suffer heavy losses, this face is too loud, shameful to throw people into the four oceans, if you don't save face, Britain will not want to be the leader of this world alliance again.

There must be revenge, and there must be severe punishment!

This bad breath does not come out, and the British do not close their eyes when they die.

The French are the same, the Franco-Prussian War has already conceded a step, ceding Alsace and Lorraine, and they are not satisfied, but they want to further expand their territory and directly fight France, what a big hatred and how much resentment this must be, as for it?

The French feel quite innocent, but in fact, they have forgotten that over the years, all kinds of interference in the original German Confederation have caused people to be divided and bloody, and the blood shed in the war cannot be calculated. Later, the Germans counterattacked and joined forces to fight the French, and Kaiser Wilhelm ran to Paris to ascend the throne, and the feud was even greater, and it was simply impossible to alleviate it.

Now France is a huge stumbling block preventing Germany from dominating Europe and even the world, who will it not beat him?

To put it simply, if Germany annexes France, it will become a top power, and the hegemony of the world is just around the corner. This battle can't be fought without fighting.

But the problem is that the French in this era are not so weak, and the spirit of resistance is just right. When Moltke Jr. changed the deployment of Schlieffen's plan, but still hit him with a right hook from the right flank, he was confronted with a solid defensive line.

The French, they would rather die than retreat! On the Marne, at Verdun, the Anglo-French forces had built an impregnable defensive line, and both sides quickly piled up more than two million troops. All kinds of heavy artillery equipment are piled up in one go. After a brutal confrontation. Caught in a brief stalemate.

All in all, the European powers were fighting to the point of vomiting blood, while scolding the Chinese for being shameless. Suddenly found that China and the United States began to tear apart, and suddenly burst into tears of excitement.

This is enough to illustrate the truth that the world's great powers are all scoundrels. Everyone thinks the same: "Lao Tzu is not comfortable, don't think about it!" I can't beat everyone to die together! ”

Well, it's a worse world than it is, and it has never changed.

The whole world is waiting for a major war between China and the United States. But in fact, the U.S. government has been arguing over whether to fight or not!

President Taft is a staunch anti-war activist, and he has repeatedly declared: "There is nothing to be gained from the outbreak of war between China and the United States, and I do not see the slightest sign of China trying to provoke a war. We shouldn't react too violently, because that will surely lead many people to the bottom line! ”

This statement is echoed by many.

After all, Americans don't like to fight much these days. The major conglomerates and capitalists who are the leading forces in the country. My favorite thing to do is to export capital to the outside world. Grab huge profits. It would be even better if American products could be sold through trade barriers.

However, around the 20th century, American goods were synonymous with the tatters of cottages among the great powers. Does it look familiar? Chinese goods around the 21st century have received the same evaluation. However, in a few decades, they will become the model of a super-industrial power.

This fully illustrates the truth that any country that can carry out copycat cloning in an all-round way will eventually be able to rise. For example, Little Japan, if you stay good, you will also be financially by his godfather, will it end?

Americans have good ideas, but it is not easy to realize them.

At the end of the 19th century, after the partition of the world's colonies, all European countries fell into the fierce rival of industrial overcapacity, economic crises were frequent, and everyone wanted to expand the external market.

But they didn't think of increasing the purchasing power of ordinary people, and they blindly attacked the city, hoping to grab the inherent consumer groups in the new colonies and new markets.

Americans were no exception at this time, in order not to pay high wages to workers, Lincoln and the northern government did not hesitate to start a civil war, and the South gave high treatment to black slaves, and "liberated" millions of black slaves, so there were so many consumers all of a sudden.

But in reality, the living conditions of the workers in the north are not as good as the black slaves in the south!

Before the rise of Ford, Americans' spending power was far from keeping up with industrial growth, and without the pull of World War I and the Coolidge boom, the U.S. economy could not be counted on if it wanted to enter a normal state and solve the problem of overcapacity by stimulating domestic demand.

Today's B-plane, the situation in the United States is even worse.

The inferior industrial products they produce cannot be sold at all, but are often dumped upside down by Chinese goods. Millions of overseas Chinese bring things from China every day and refuse to buy American goods of inferior quality and high price, which has also become a major incentive for the Chinese Exclusion Movement to become more intense.

In addition, China has achieved a comprehensive leading edge in many fields such as new petroleum, steel, machinery, chemicals, and electronics. The European powers relied on shameless trade barriers to forcibly refuse the entry of Chinese goods, and they barely withstood the attack. The Americans advocated free trade, but they suffered a big loss at the beginning!

The products of the Rockefeller, DuPont, Mellon, Morgan and other conglomerates are all unsalable, and China does not import any American goods except for cotton, wheat, dairy products and other agricultural products. On the contrary, the United States wants to export to China, and people are picky and picky, and the boss is not happy.

Now China, a toss between the north and the south, east and west, wants land to have land, to have population, to have resources, and they are too busy to work, if it is not for the balance of trade, it doesn't matter much if it is not imported.

Therefore, the rich people in the United States are also holding their breath for China. In the same way, they are particularly greedy for the fatness of the Chinese market!

The system of ensuring the prosperity of the whole people and the basic welfare system, the price stabilization, the minimum wage, and the eighth-level labor system implemented by the head of state have always ensured that China's industrial and agricultural incomes have always maintained a relatively high level, which is really higher than the average level of any country in the world. Ten years later, less than 10 percent of the population still does not have enough to eat.

This is an incredible number in contemporary times.

Regardless of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, the people who can eat enough every day are always only a handful, and the broad masses of the working class cannot earn a few pennies to support their families after working hard all day long, and cannot become the main consumer at all.

Once all of China's population base of 4 or 500 million become consumers, it is conceivable that the demand will be greater than that of the whole world combined.

This is almost the same as the beginning of the world's reform, when the world suddenly faced a blue ocean of the Chinese mainland market.

It's just that looking at such a large cultivated market, I can't intervene. Can the red-eyed capitalists be willing? Definitely not!

Therefore, when the news of the conflict in Hawaii came, the call of the opposition parties in the United States to meet the war suddenly became very loud!

"The Chinese will never be allowed to unilaterally change the status quo in the Pacific, and the territory of the United States will never be allowed to be separated!" Resolutely fight against the hegemonic behavior of the greedy and shameless Chinese Yankees, the United States is fearless, God bless us! ”

Enthusiastic clamor filled every state council, and at the same time, the anti-Chinese movement in the western states proliferated rapidly, and various conflicts emerged one after another, rapidly heating up to an increasingly violent level.

Chinese Ambassador to the United States Rong went to see President Taft in a rage and righteously demanded that the other side immediately issue an order to the whole country to prohibit all kinds of tyrannical acts against overseas Chinese, which will seriously damage the reputation of the United States as a country ruled by law.

President Taft frankly spread his hands, he can't control it!

Originally, the Chinese Exclusion Act was a cover deliberately created by a large group of western politicians to cater to lazy Irish and European newcomers in order to grab votes, and they didn't really care about whether it would cause any harm to overseas Chinese, nor did they really reject all Chinese. Otherwise, how could so many Chinese students run around openly? I haven't seen the mainstream society in the United States shouting and killing all day long, at best, it just has a glass ceiling.

This kind of legislation, which has a direct bearing on the votes of the states, is simply not something that a weak president can solve. No matter how Ambassador Yung protests, it will be of no avail.

So, Rong finally told Taft in a helpless tone: "The Chinese government will never sit idly by and watch overseas compatriots suffer unfair treatment." If the US Government fails to ensure the safety of the lives and property of overseas Chinese in the United States, Your Excellency the Great Führer will not sit idly by while they are persecuted! ”

When Taft heard this, he trembled: "What do you mean, is this a threat to us?" Could it be that China can still go all the way to war with the United States for this little bit of nonsense? (To be continued.) )
