Chapter 967: Weakness and Compromise (Part II)
Wang Guorui knew that the British would inevitably compromise, because the British social system and his political system were completely a system that only a strong country could have. Because the British parliament pays attention to the separation of powers and the limitation of power, this is the idea that since the Glorious Revolution in England has always been taboo for them to let one person hold absolute power, so they must be very dangerous. And this idea has also affected Americans, and the United States is also very worried about the power held by the president, and even very limited the power of the president.
However, the development of the two countries was markedly different, and after the Glorious Revolution, the British began to expand abroad, lured by the interests of the bourgeoisie. The driving force that supports the development of their country is to open up abroad, and as long as there are enough interests overseas, as long as there are enough colonies, they don't mind uniting and cooperating together, and then going to open up abroad. Because as long as there are sufficient interests in foreign development, in the face of absolute interests, it is possible to make people who have contradictions become partners of cooperation.
As there are no absolute enemies and friends in politics, when facing a common external enemy, no matter how strong the internal contradictions are, they are likely to unite to fight against the external enemy. Of course, there is another situation, that is, when the interests are huge enough, even if the original enemy side can cooperate and become friends. This can range from regions, to countries, and even to humanity as a whole. The reason why human beings have wars is actually largely because the resources of the earth mountains are not sufficient, and everyone cannot live well. That's why they broke out into conflicts and wars, and the ultimate goal of every war since ancient times is nothing more than a competition for resources. Some are land, some are mineral resources, or they are various subsistence resources.
However, if one day they find that there are more innumerable resources in their outer and wider world, many of them will choose to temporarily abandon the contradiction and then go to the outside world together. This was the case with the British bourgeoisie at that time, they found that they had enough resources to develop colonization abroad, and then they also gave up the contradictions of the bourgeoisie for the time being and opened up together. And this situation will hardly change, because even in the 21st century, as long as the 21st century can realize the exploitation of resources in outer space, if future generations of human beings can easily exploit resources outside the earth, then I am afraid that the so-called contradictions on the earth will no longer be contradictions, and several major countries may choose to give up the so-called conflicts and go to foreign countries to explore resources together, because the resources in space are innumerable, and the future generations of human beings will not be able to calculate the day when they will be used up.
"The British will inevitably compromise, and they have relied on all kinds of foreign development to obtain sufficient resources. They practice a decentralization system, and their decentralization system, when there are enough resources for external development, they can choose to unite and develop together. One of the biggest problems of this kind of democracy is that their power is too dispersed, and when this power is too dispersed, it is impossible to effectively form a joint force, and it is easy to cause the power to be dispersed. In this case, it is difficult for them to have someone to make a decision, and it is easy to cause a situation of rift. If a strong country plays like this, and it plays like this against those weak countries, then it is naturally possible. However, if we deal with weak countries, we must concentrate all our efforts and concentrate all kinds of human and material resources, so that they can exert greater strength. If a weak country is late in the so-called democracy, it is suicidal! Wang Guorui said.
When many officials heard this, they also thought about these things carefully in their hearts, and even some officials who had taken refuge in the past alliance were even more thoughtful. In the past, they thought that a democratic republic was necessary, but they ignored the fact that China is still a weak country at present, and it is necessary to concentrate on doing great things. Otherwise, if a weak country plays democracy, it will make the country fall apart, make everyone a mess, and then become civil strife. China does not yet have this condition, because China has no foundation for opening up to the outside world.
If China has enough territory and resources outside the country, it may be able to open up to the outside world and ease domestic contradictions. However, at present, the colonies of the world have basically been divided, and there is no "common interest" that can make all domestic forces peaceful. On the contrary, those foreign countries also want to turn China into a colony all the time, so that they can make China completely lose hope of rising, so they will not give China this time. If China is looking for its own death and playing democracy, isn't it allowing foreign countries to take advantage of the opportunity to split, and is it not deliberately seeking its own death?
In the face of a crisis, only by concentrating power can we confront foreign enemies. Even if many "boiled teasers" in later generations don't understand this truth at all, most of the people in the world who play dish cooking are extremely turbulent, so this kind of dish cooking can only be played by strong countries, and a weak country is late, doesn't that give people a chance? What is a weak country that is not suicidal?
When the state is weak, it is only by centralizing power that it can develop. In the future, China will be able to develop rapidly, but also rely on a few kinds of resources to do great things, so that it can do? If we do not concentrate all our efforts, how can we develop nuclear weapons and ensure China's stability for decades? Even if the nuclear weapons research of future countries does not rely on pooling resources? The fact that the United States was able to develop nuclear weapons at such a huge cost was based on the fact that the power of the American president was greatly expanded during World War II, so that they had enough power to mobilize resources to do so. Otherwise, in peacetime, if you want to spend so many resources on nuclear weapons, the parliament alone is enough to drive you crazy.
"Behind the British are the capitalists, and the capitalists are actually very weak, they have a very serious weakness and compromise. As businessmen, you should know the characteristics of businessmen. In fact, businessmen are very afraid of war, don't look at those arms dealers who are keen on fighting. But while they are keen to fight, they do not want to fight in their own country. War, for the vast majority of businessmen, means a reshuffle of order, and it also means that business is delayed. Any businessman should know that it is difficult to do business during a war, unless it is an arms dealer. However, arms dealers are only a very small part of them, and the vast majority of businessmen do not like to fight, of course, they do not want to fight with big powers, and they will not choose to fight if they are not forced to hurry. ”
"The so-called Glorious Revolution in Britain was actually the result of a compromise between the capitalist class and the landlord class. The strength of both sides is about the same, and the reason why those capitalist classes chose to keep this British royal family is not because they do not have absolute confidence in the strength they have. They don't dare to work hard, they have a lot of ideas to take it when they see it, and they want to protect their vested interests. Now that they have forced the monarch to hand over most of their power, they do not think it is necessary to completely bring down the British royal family, which is much more risky. Perhaps as businessmen, they are adventurous in the start-up stage. However, once they reached the stage of stable development of defending the city, they were very afraid of taking risks, and they all wanted to maintain the status quo. If you want to bully those who are weak, they will not hesitate. But if you have to face those powerful enemies, it is naturally very weak and full of compromise. They don't want wars, and they don't want to delay wars for something that doesn't seem important, but rather jeopardizes their own business interests. ”
"It's the same with our Hong Kong, which has become a stinker since we took control of the Strait of Malacca, and it's not much use. Hong Kong is already surrounded by us, and they are of little use, almost no use. Hong Kong's geographical location is very awkward, and we have gradually opened the door to the country, and we are not closed to the rest of the country as we used to. Of course, we will also protect the legitimate interests of foreign businessmen, as long as they are not deliberately deceived and are willing to do business in a law-abiding and fair manner. In this way, they have no scruples, and their demand for Hong Kong back then was not strictly speaking a so-called territorial claim. They wanted Hong Kong more because of the isolation of the Manchu Dynasty and the ignorance of the bureaucrats, and they wanted a transit point and some relatively stable places as a transition. However, at present, our ruling officials are not the corrupt bureaucrats of the past, and they have also legally protected their legitimate property, so they have a lot less scruples, and naturally they are a chicken rib for this Hong Kong. ”
"Since Hong Kong has become a chicken rib, they are of little use, just to protect the face of the so-called British Empire. Perhaps for politicians, face is very important. But for businessmen, for the sake of a so-called small Hong Kong, they fell out with China, and those capitalists certainly did not dare. With a market as big as China, where can Hong Kong compare? Now that Hong Kong has become a chicken rib, they naturally want to exchange this chicken rib for some commercial benefits. Hong Kong, which has no resources and has lost its geographical advantage, naturally wants to give up. ”
"Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that China has become stronger and stronger. If we were still the weak Manchu country in the past, then none of their capitalists would agree to it. Therefore, in the face of a strong enemy, the weakness and compromise of those capitalists are once again exposed. In fact, capitalists are also bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and when they encounter the soft, they will rob it, so that the cost is the lowest. But once they encounter someone who is quite powerful, they will find a way to compromise and then try to exchange for some benefits, so that they will also have benefits. (To be continued.) )
