Chapter 144: The World (2)
"To deal with these people, you have to use both grace and power, appease once, suppress nine times, and let them do what they want every time, the whole country will be chaotic, if you don't work and go to the streets, you can get a long salary, then why do you have to work hard?" Wu Haisong said disapprovingly.
"Let's go, it's not interesting." Chibirch gave instructions.
Fang Tianhua paused for a moment: "Miss, it's over with this look?" ”
"What else? Did the Prime Minister's daughter cordially receive the striking workers? This kind of news is not funny at all. ”
"This is an opportunity."
"This is an opportunity to cause trouble for my father...... Little trouble ......"
Pity or self-reflection, shrewdness or self-preservation, Qian Hua does not know whether she is thinking about her father or herself.
Maybe that doesn't make a difference.
"Where to go now?" Tour guide Huang Hao asked.
"According to the original plan, go to the factory to visit."
Visiting two factories and attending a dinner party for the Rong family of the flour king, the day passed like this, time passed mercilessly, leaning on the warm sofa by the fireplace, Qianhua vaguely felt that an unprecedented sense of urgency was approaching her step by step, but she was still unable to determine where that urgency came from, maybe she still needed some emotion, maybe it had nothing to do with emotion at all, what was the problem......
"It's not a good day." Fang Tianhua's self-righteous face was now self-righteously revealing a little warmth.
Qian Hua glanced at him and found that the group of six had all arrived.
"Let's all sit down." Qianhua actually wanted to be quiet alone for a while, but when she saw these so-called teammates who had been trained with her for nearly a year, she couldn't help but want to talk to them, emotional factors, realistic factors, after all, they are people of the same era, and the imprint of 2039 is hot on everyone's soul skin, which can never be erased or washed away.
The group of six sat down around Chibir, and a waiter in a small hat presented a small silver tray to the list.
"Qing Shui, Xie Luxie." Yang Yuxiang threw a wink at the virgin-looking waiter.
Wu Haisong glared at her dissatisfied.
Qianhua also asked for water, and the remaining 5 men asked for a bottle of red wine, today's dinner of the Rong family was not the turn of the attendant, Wu Haisong, Pan Guochen, and Liang Gensheng, who were guards, could only eat in the kitchen, except for Wu Haisong, the other two had no complaints.
"In the past two months, the National Assembly Hall, government offices and famous universities in Beijing, the government-run farms and agricultural cooperatives in Zhili, the Beiyang Heavy Industry and Ying Ruixiang chain firms in Tianjin, the old-style landlords' houses and rural primary schools in Henan have been running non-stop, and these days in Shanghai they have inspected the stock exchange, the national middle school, the city hall, the city council and more than a dozen light industrial enterprises, where will we go next?" Yang Yuxiang asked with interest, apparently wishing to continue her travels, except, of course, for things like tasting the unpalatable home-cooked meals of tenant farmers or ordinary working families.
"It's time to go back, I'm going home before the Spring Festival." Qian Hua replied casually, her shining eyes swept around, and fixed on Fang Tianhua's impatient face.
"Deputy Fang seems to have a tirade to publish?"
"The eldest lady is joking, it's not a side team anymore." Fang Tianhua did not have the habit of touching his head and smiling. "There's nothing to talk about, I want to know what Miss Lu Dao thinks about the current situation."
"What's the situation?"
"The ...... of this world As a matter of fact, we don't see the overall situation very clearly, because what we see from this world is completely different from the history textbooks in our minds, and it is difficult to make an overall judgment. ”
Tempting, or kicking the ball back, Qianhua didn't know Fang Tianhua, but it was okay, this was a good opportunity to show his little-known side, not to mention that the six-member group all cast expectant eyes......
"Let's start with the Russo-Asian War."
The waiter brought water and red wine, and when Qianhua saw the transparent water cup in Yang Yuxiang's hand, there was a ripple in her heart without water: She and I both had a transparent soul, if I hadn't encountered those things, I would ......
"I think everyone has read the relevant information, and also has a general understanding of the general situation of this world, not much else, from the perspective of this Asian-Russian war, although the time is similar to our time and space history of the Russo-Japanese War, the war process is also similar, but in my opinion, these are two completely different in nature, the impact can not be compared."
"The Russo-Japanese War in our time and space history was a colonial war between Japan and Russia for Korea and Northeast China, both sides were fighting in a foreign country, in order to seize colonial rights and interests, Japan's national strength was weak, Russia's politics was corrupt, and both sides could not support a long-term war, and Japan was no longer able to advance when it reached Siping, let alone cross the Heilongjiang River to seize the land occupied by Russia for a long time, although Russia was defeated again and again, it also caused huge losses to the Japanese army, and the north of Changchun was still firmly controlled by it, not to mention that its Far Eastern territory was as stable as a rock."
"As a result of the war, the Russian army suffered 270,000 casualties, ceded half of Sakhalin Island, gave up a small piece of the Kanto lease on the Liaoning Peninsula and the right of way for the southern section of the Eastern Railway, and most of the northeast was still within the Russian power.
"This time the Asian-Russian war was completely different, with the East Asian Alliance's million-strong army attacking on all fronts, attacking the territory that had been occupied and developed by Russia for more than half a century, and then even farther than the borders stipulated in the Treaty of Nebuchu."
"The Far Eastern fortress group painstakingly managed by the Russian army was completely destroyed, with as many as 830,000 casualties and prisoners, the loss of more than 300,000 tons of warships, the forced return of more than 1.5 million square kilometers of our territory, the loss of the most important agricultural region east of Lake Baikal, the loss of 1.5 million to 2 million people, and the loss of millions of refugees."
"Such losses are far from comparable to those of the Russo-Japanese War, and the revolutionary movement and national uprising that is now taking place in Russia far exceed the intensity of the 1905 revolution in our history of time and space, and Russia is on the verge of collapse."
"Without the threat of the great powers, the East Asian coalition would not have had a problem fighting across Lake Baikal, and it would even be possible to annex the whole of Siberia, and without the unanimous support of the European powers, the Russian Revolution would very well succeed and spread from Eastern Europe to the whole of Europe, a future that no European power would want to see."
Among the six-member group of "The Kaiser's Speech...... Fang Tianhua was more diligent, and the number of books and newspapers he read during the confinement was roughly equal to that of the other five combined.
"That's right, in the Kaiser's Christmas speech, on the one hand, he called for Europe to unite to suppress the Russian Revolution, and on the other hand, he called for the formation of a new crusade to defend Christian civilization, and we can see that the course of history is completely distorted!"
"In the history of our time and space, the Russo-Japanese War had only ended in curbing the momentum of Russian expansion into the Far East, and at the same time prompting Russia to turn its expansion back to Europe and the Near East, which would inevitably lead to a conflict with Germany."
"Here, however, we see the complete destruction of the Russian fortress complex in the Far East, and its whole Siberia is in danger!"
"With our country's delay in withdrawing its troops from Chita, it had to station a large number of troops that were supposed to be used to suppress the revolution on the entire Sino-Russian border for defense, and the revolution and national uprising caused by the defeat of the war were so powerful that even the army itself was involved in the revolutionary wave, and Russia would be finished if it took one step forward!"
"The situation was far more sinister than the 1905 revolution of that time and space, and Tsarist Russia needed several times more money than in the history of that time and space, and even direct armed intervention from Europe to tide over it."
"Even if this chaos can be temporarily resolved with the unanimous support of the European powers, Russia will lose the energy to expand in Europe and the Near East, because it will have to maintain a large army in the Far East to defend its vast Siberia, and the strength of the East Asian coalition cannot but make Russia tremble, and it may become a second-rate country in Europe, a semi-colony controlled by European capital."
"As for the East Asian alliance, because of the too conspicuous manifestation of the war against Russia, it has now become a major threat to the colonial order of the great powers, and the whole world can see this."
"The statesmen of the great powers should be able to see that neither country can guarantee its colonial territory in East Asia and the Pacific region under the threat of the East Asian Union in the face of the British Malaya, North Borneo and Burma in France, the East Indies in the Netherlands, the Philippines and Hawaii in the United States, the Pacific Islands in Germany and Eastern New Guinea."
"Colonial and semi-colonial nationalists can also see that the alliance of Asians has defeated the Europeans and almost completely collapsed a European power, and that the countries that make up this alliance were only semi-colonies that had been bullied by the same powers more than ten or twenty years ago."
"The whole world is paying attention to this vast alliance that implements Western constitutionalism and retains the spirit of the East. The national and military strength of this alliance is far from being comparable to that of the little Japan after the Russo-Japanese War, but it advocates a royal doctrine with benevolence and righteousness as the core. As long as it is explained in depth, it is entirely possible to occupy the commanding heights of justice, and this alliance may become the hope of the colonies and semi-colonies of Asia and even the whole world, and at the same time, this alliance will become a thorn in the side of the great powers that control the existing colonial order of the world. ”
"But as far as I know, Germany is also eager to break the colonial order of the original world......," Wu Haisong interjected
"What Germany wants to break is a colonial order that is unfavorable to Germany, not a new world order in which colonies do not exist."
"But do those people above really want to create a new order in the world without colonies?"
"China does not need colonies in the traditional sense, it needs a free and open world, no colonial trade barriers, no immigration restrictions, free movement of goods and people, with the advantages of technology and management system, coupled with a huge population base, the development of this empire will be limitless - with cheap and high-quality goods and almost unlimited immigration to conquer the entire world."
