Chapter 577: The Power of Public Opinion! European countries huddle!
Turning the Pacific Rim Federation into a Pacific Rim Empire may seem like a simple change, but it is politically significant.
Only with a huge public opinion base can Li Mengyang so forcefully seize the previous Manchu struggle for power, otherwise he was a entrusted role in managing the country.
To put it bluntly, in the end, the name is not right.
If you want to talk about this matter, Li Mengyang actually had a plan for a long time, otherwise he would not have been so good to Tongzhi at the beginning, in fact, he was kept for the people of the whole country to see. Don't underestimate this matter, as long as you know history, you know that most of this seizure of the throne is usurpation.
For example, why didn't Cao Cao dare to be emperor in his lifetime?
Isn't it just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand up politically!
Moreover, in history, there are relatively good examples, such as Wang Mang.
By the way, Wang Mang's ending was very miserable, this guy was in chaos in the world, and he was also brutally killed, very, very miserable.
But if you understand this history, especially some historical details, then you will know that in fact, Wang Mang's usurpation can't really be called that, because at that time, it was really everyone in the world who made this Wang Mang the emperor!
Because, Wang Mang, according to previous historical records, this person is a perfect person according to Confucian moral standards.
This person once did the thing of taking out all the land in his family and dividing it, and his son made a mistake, it was really killing!
He is not ruthless, but he behaves in full accordance with Confucian moral standards. That's all......
All right. Wang Mang's final tragedy was indeed a tragedy. His tragedy is because his personal personality is too perfect, this matter, Li Mengyang once said in the book of Mr. Zhang Wuchang in later generations, if a person is extremely selfless, then this person is absolutely terrifying in reality...... There are too many truths in this, and Li Mengyang can only understand it roughly.
Wang Mang's Confucianism is selfless, we don't learn, but Wang Mang's usurpation process has given Li Mengyang some references. To put it simply, that's public opinion!
In China today, there are many problems, that is, it is difficult to conduct any public opinion poll you want, because everyone's education level is still insufficient, and it is not easy to eliminate illiteracy.
So, learn from Wang Mang and persuade him!
Yes, some well-known scholars in various localities have written letters to the central authorities. I hope His Majesty Li Mengyang can be the emperor, huh. That's it......
In fact, Li Mengyang's public opinion base is huge.
In the current China region, there is great economic development, great industrial development, and there is no worry about running out of food, even if the year is not good and the harvest is not enough, it doesn't matter, it can be shipped from the United States!
Moreover, the most critical point is that the public health system in China has been established, which is what Li Mengyang is best at, and he likes to build public toilets at the beginning. Besides, that is, Li Mengyang, this guy is not in the delivery room, he got a good thing, forceps!
The birth rate has increased dramatically!
In just a few years, the population of China has exceeded 600 million, and the latest census data has not yet come out, and I heard that it will rise sharply!
Let's put it this way, now the small life of the common people is really very nourishing, food and clothing, otherwise they can have so many children?
Even Zhou Zili told Li Mengyang.
"Now I am facing the common people, and I have nothing to do all night long, so I know that I am tossing on the kang head, and this baby is born to the sea! Your Majesty, you have to think of a way! ”
"Let's enrich the amateur cultural life of the broad masses of the people."
Well, Li Mengyang's words are ready-made at all, he has heard it I don't know how many times, and as for how rich, there is just a movie, let's go to the village and show it.
So, the articles and letters persuaded from all over the country flew to the imperial capital like snowflakes!
In any case, Li Mengyang, the emperor, was born, and the Pacific Federation became the Pacific Empire, the largest empire in the history of mankind!
"Ahh The greatest evil empire in the history of mankind has been born! ”
"It's hard to imagine that so many people like to be ruled by a TAI guy!"
"That so-called emperor is simply an inferior person!"
On the European side, a round began, very normal, expected ridicule.
But these things, however, are not ......
The current situation in Europe is getting worse and worse, and the confrontation between countries is very serious, among which the most obvious confrontation is between Britain and Germany.
Originally, if Bismarck was still there, then although Bismarck was particularly against the British in his bones, he would also get along with the British, after all, this would be beneficial to Germany, but Bismarck went into the wilderness, and Wilhelm II, who gave it a go, did not give face to the British at all, and he was going to fight the British in South Africa.
However, Britain is Britain after all, and they are currently the most powerful country in the world, and the power of others is there.
Since there is no way to reconcile, then the British have come up with a powerful move.
“…… According to investigations, the German Empire was secretly sending all kinds of weapons and ammunition to the Boers in South Africa, which was an act of fueling the war! This is a shameful act! This is unacceptable! …… Such an act of injustice, I, the British Empire, must be sanctioned! …… Therefore, as long as it is a German ship, whether it is a merchant ship or a warship, our British Empire will not let it stop! ”
This is a statement, and the statement is accompanied by a photo, anyway, the evidence is conclusive, you Germany is selling weapons, and this sanction is ......
It's amazing!
Doesn't this sound like you won't let the ships of the German Empire come to the ports of my British Empire to replenish them? It doesn't seem like a big deal.
However, in this era, this sanction is a nuclear-bomb-level sanction!
The British Empire, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, has this name at this time, that is, it has many colonies. And these colonies. Because Britain itself is a maritime country. They only got up in the Age of Discovery, so most of the colonies are ports, ports, and basically all the ports in the world are in their hands, and many of them are small islands, anyway.
If you want to sail well on the seas at this time, then if you don't need to supply from British ports. It's impossible!
It should be said that the British could not cover the sky with one hand, but now, they are united with the French, so ......
It's over, and the German ships can't get to South Africa!
Just look at the map, you get out of the main ports of Germany, and then you sail south to Africa, which is all British and French colonial ports. This is to take the old East India route before. The new route is to go through the Mediterranean Sea and then through the Suez Canal. But this canal belongs to the British, French and Pacific Empires!
Obviously, their German ships could not transport anything.
Therefore, this trick of the British is really bad, and it is really effective.
You know, this trick can't be used casually, because it's too planned to contradict Britain and Germany, which is clearly trying to get you German, so this can't be used easily.
Before Salisbury, he really wanted to solve the problem through communication, and he got France done, you know, there are a lot of French descendants among the Boers, and seeing that Bismarck is going to be done, Bismarck also has the meaning of softening, which is good, but ...... Wilhelm II, this guy broke the game.
Seeing that there was no other way, Salisbury had no choice but to use this trick, he was a very smart person, and his methods were not soft.
"The British are a complete slander! Slander! ……”
In the face of this sanction from the British, Wilhelm II has nothing to do, because people don't give you supplies, so what you can do in reality is to fight!
Yes, it's mine to hit that port, so isn't the supply casual?
However, it is obvious that we cannot fight at the moment, because the whole situation in Europe has not yet been completely clear, and there is no final conclusion on who is on the side of whom.
Then, not long after entering 1890, the Boer War ended with the victory of the British!
Without the help of Germany, the Nabur would not have been able to hold out for long, they had to surrender, and the British obtained the gold mine.
The problem of gold loss has been solved!
This is definitely a big positive for the UK!
You know, at this time, there was a lot of gold loss in Europe, and the Jews were speculating in Jerusalem to the point of madness.
The Jews are really interesting, anyway, the international community supports me, so now we just need to buy Jerusalem in its entirety, then wouldn't it be justified to restore the country?
So, what can Wilhelm II of Germany do now?
You know, Germany is also short of gold, and their gold is losing very quickly.
Generally speaking, with Wilhelm II's IQ, it is difficult for him to come up with a good solution, because he is a very emotional person and does not consider interests too much, otherwise, he would not be so anti-British.
But though, stupid people have stupid ways, Wilhelm II made a decision when he was not long in the reign of emperor.
Visit Ottoman Turkey!
Ottoman Turkey is a very interesting country, this country was once glorious, but now it has become the sick man of Europe, and their religion, needless to say, is of course YSL religion, but Turkey is Sunni.
It should be said that this was the boss of the Arab world and the stronghold of the Sunnis.
And why visit this country?
This is interesting, Wilhelm II, after he arrived in Turkey, he wandered around the country, and now the king of Turkey, his name is Abdullah. Hamid II, the original Aziz, is already finished.
And this Hamid II, that is really a very bastard person, many people ridicule him as a butcher, anyway, everywhere is to cause trouble and oppress minorities.
But such a person, this Wilhelm II as soon as he met...... Hello buddy!
Soon a statement came out......
"I, the German Empire, a staunch ally of the Ottoman Turkish Empire......" (To be continued. )
