There is an essential difference between ideological warfare and hegemonic warfare:

As for how to distinguish between the two wars, we only need to look at the results they are chasing.

The victory of traditional hegemonic wars lies in absolute control over resources and manpower of other countries, while the spoils of war are absolute control over natural resources and the distribution of labor of others.

The result of the ideological war is to establish a self-centered competitive order. This order is like the root system of a big tree absorbing water and nutrients, drawing on the talents and scientific research results within its sphere of influence. Maintain the system of civilization development and innovation under its own leadership.

……

If the results pursued are mixed with the control of the resources of other countries and the profits of labor industry, then the self-proclaimed ideological war is in fact the essence of hegemonic confrontation.

In the second half of the XXI century, a series of competitions demonstrated:

Only second-rate regional powers will fight hegemonic wars to grab resources, and the top powers will basically have no reason to go to war if they want to implement a stable national policy.

1. Geopolitically

Second-rate powers simply do not dare to provoke top-tier powers for the sake of regional interests, and third-rate countries can directly pay a little money for neighbors to contain. As for his own end, that little benefit is not worth it.

2. Economically

In the era of information intelligence, even in the era of peaceful competition, first-class powers and second-rate countries have gradually opened up the ranks, and first-class countries have used their capital and market advantages to dominate the new industrial revolution and smash the industrial chains of other countries that are not strong in global trade one by one.

First-class powers not only do not have the need to fight a hegemonic war, but also cannot fight a hegemonic war.

Because the injection of resources and interests plundered by hegemony into the country is like swallowing carrion, it will only lead to an uneven distribution of interests among its own internal groups and the collapse of the system.

In 146 B.C., Rome destroyed Carthage, and in 1990 A.D., New Rome in the New World won the Cold War, ushered in the results of hegemony, and then there were also the consequences of hegemonic victory, that is, the external war dividends leveraged internal system changes, wealth and power were transferred to a small number of people, and when the dividends of the hegemonic war were spent, it was found that the original institutional advantage was no longer there.

In the twenty-second century, textbooks juxtapose classical Rome and new Rome as examples to illustrate that the state is like a man, and the disease comes from the mouth.

Hegemonic wars are a drink for the great powers, but it does not mean that the great powers need to forget the war.

Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, and throughout the twenty-first century, ideological conflicts were at the root of the external problems of the most advanced countries.

In order for civilization to continue to flourish and develop in the countries that are among the most advanced in the information age, it is necessary to determine its own ideological form when leading the world. Meet the best talent from every region of the world. This kind of opening up to the outside world is not a misunderstanding of some people: it is necessary to rely on foreign talents to engage in technology. On the contrary, it is to temper the competitive atmosphere of the domestic talent group. Strengthen internal dependence.

As the most advanced country, it is natural that its own talent system has natural advantages, and external competition is difficult to defeat, and only internal blockade damages the talent system.

Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, although in retreat, the Eastern carpenter's wood mosaic technology (machining) and firing ceramic technology (material making) were ahead of the West. The mistake lies in being closed, arrogant, and the sense of competition and development disappearing. If you are as open as the Han and Tang Dynasty and let the world be in line with you, the result will still be advanced. I have not seen the surrounding countries surpass in technology.

How to better connect the world with yourself! It's about what kind of face (values) the world is inculcated!

In the twentieth century, the West of the Earth was dragged into the Cold War by Maozi, and in 1990 as the node, although Soviet Russia fell and seemed to win, a long war without gunpowder began.

At this time, the West, which is at the most advanced level, can only use values as a tool to influence the world if it wants to maintain its leadership position. Even if this universal value is in question, it simply cannot support the establishment of order in other regions. They must also uphold the values they export, because in the 21st century, the colonial methods are not enough!

[So for Western-style politicians, world domination is the goal, and values are all fig leafs.] If you can wantonly smash open the door of a weak country with guns and cannons a hundred years ago, you still need to talk about universal values, and directly become a great power.

……

In the second half of the 21st century, the ancient kingdom of the revival of the East ran to the position of leading the world competitive order. I found that I couldn't make a fortune like before, because the times have changed, and it seems that I am standing in a competitive position.

After more than a century of catching up, the East was stunned to find that even the West, which had led the industrial revolution, had a system that was extremely unsuitable for the new era, and its industrial technological superiority had been shattered one by one. They can only preserve their domestic industry by using the legacy of the international order to engage in unfair competition.

[For example, anti-dumping law, intellectual property protection, denial of the nature of market economy, and other means]

In addition, the East's internal self-examination also found that a series of institutional rules and thinking habits arising from its own integration with the West in the early years have also become a historical legacy that restricts itself from continuing to forge ahead in the new era.

[For example, stock market speculation, as well as the real estate economic model, even including idol stars, all emerged after integrating with the West. Although it played a certain role in the early economic development, it eventually became a malaise with the progress of the times. 】

At this time, if we close off in order to curb the outdated thinking of outsiders, then after the revival, we will return to the old path of solving the problem in the Celestial Empire. Because the national power was too advanced, there was no need for communication with other regions, and the system began to ossify.

If you can't close yourself off from the country, and you don't want to be swayed by external ideas, you should be it and come up with your own values. Dominate the world competitive order.

In the past, we had the courage to connect with the world, but when we developed to the advanced, why didn't we have the courage to connect with the world?

Information Age.

The advanced countries that truly deserve their name stand tall in the world not by creating time (stirring up international contradictions in their favor with-stirring sticks), nor by relying on geographical advantages (plundering natural resources), but by relying on people (institutional competitive advantage).

……

What Blazing White launched against the Rong clan at this time was a purely ideological war. Don't kill, don't humiliate, but you want to press down the arrogant head of the entire Hanshui Group and talk about right and wrong.

In the on-site record of the meeting recorder: In traditional political negotiations, it is possible to occupy a strong position by controlling the lives of the other party. At this time, the blazing white majesty of stepping into the Jingxiang fortress with his head held high and sitting in front of the highest decision-making table made the patriarchs fall into an unprecedented disadvantage in their aura.

In this hall of blue light, Rong Zheng and the people in dozens of hibernation warehouses suddenly felt that whether it was the previous economic model, strategy, tactics, and now the will to war. I lost this war cleanly.

Well, in fact.

When the upper echelons of the Rong clan were discussing nervously, Blazing covered his head, clasped his fingers in a daze, and then his eyes flickered in a daze.

On the side, Rong Zheng looked at the leisure of the blazing white like waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot, and secretly sighed in his heart: "When I first saw you a few years ago, I felt very stubborn, and now I will see you again, and the elegance is peerless!" ’

A few minutes later.

Rong Zheng got the final decision-making instructions from the elders of the hibernation warehouse, nodded helplessly, and sat in front of Blazing White again, ending Blazing White's idleness.

Rong Zheng looked at Blaze Bai who was leaning on the back chair, and asked peacefully: "Blaze White, here is a question, if I took you back to the family in the first place, then ...... today"

Blazing White put down the hand supporting his cheeks and turned his head, and said with a pure smile: "There are some things that were not suitable in the past, and if you don't abide by them now, you won't want to do it in the future." So—"

At this time, Blazing Bai looked at the portrait of a celebrity hanging in the hall (Binghe), and said in a straight voice: "-I am still me." ”

The clear voice, like the sun shining in this dark hall, Rong Zheng nodded slowly: "You go back first, your terms, I will inform everyone immediately, and announce the decision at three o'clock this afternoon." ”

As he said this, there was a pleading look in his eyes.

Blazing Bai understood the meaning, smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Seeing that Blazing White was not unforgiving. Rong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but a few seconds later, he seemed to hear a new command from the hibernation warehouse, and was stunned, but quickly nodded again with relief.

He turned to Blazing White and said, "Later, please go through the main gate of the fortress." ”

……

Rong Zheng wants the last dignity, which is to announce his acceptance of the 'peace terms' after Blazing White's departure.

Now blazing white in Jingxiang Fortress, if Rong Zheng announces that he will accept these terms on the spot, the last bit of face of the older generation will be gone. Because the blazing white light is too shining, when later generations record this event, in contrast, the image of the core of the Hanshui Group will be completely corrupt and stubborn, laughing through the ages.

So they need to leave first, and then make a final decision after a procedural "discussion". It shows that in this history, he made a decision.

Blazing gave them this dignity, and the people in the hibernation warehouse reciprocated it.

……

Twenty minutes later.

The steel gates of Jingxiang Fortress were opened heavily, and in this escort, Rong Zheng and other high-level officials gave the highest specifications and sent a heavy tank corps to escort Blazing White.

And on the positions of tens of square kilometers of the fortress, all the Great Wall opened the field.

When this scene happened, in the mechanized mecha cluster sixty kilometers away, Su Mu, who commanded the troops, sighed and opened the field. And then around the Jingxiang Fortress, a total of twenty-seven Great Walls opened their fields one after another.

What the current reaction of Jingxiang Fortress means, the high-ranking professionals who are nobles know very well.

The heavy chariot is a ceremonial vehicle, a vehicle used in the welcoming ceremony of major ceremonies, and many Great Wall areas are opened at the same time, and there is only one situation, that is, the core members of the family show support for the new chief minister.

This situation within the Rong clan will not be reported in the news and public opinion, because not every head of the Rong family can get the active support of everyone. Some fields just don't expand the field.

Not supporting, does not mean opposing. If you don't support it, you can't me. After the Hanshui reform, the Rong Group relied on the system, not personal prestige. Therefore, each new head of the family cannot force the other Great Wall to take a stand. Of course, every president of Hanshui also hopes that more and more Great Wall in the group will expand the field for himself. Because the more support you get, the more orthodox it becomes.

At present, although it was a hasty order issued by the elders of the Han River, the number of Great Walls in the area of Jingxiang Fortress was still unprecedented, and when Rongchen succeeded him six hundred years ago, only sixteen Great Walls showed their support in this way.

At this time, all the professionals on both sides of the battlefield, whether they are Rong or non-Rong, know what it means.

Only the protagonist of this ritual, Blazing White, didn't know what it meant for this group of people to expand the realm like crazy? - Blazing White has never been an aristocracy. In other words, in Binghe's life, when he went home, the Gun Flame clan didn't seem to have the Great Wall yet.

……

Sitting on the chariot, the blazing white spread out the field, ignoring the situation in the surrounding area, adjusted his information helmet.

Aim your beam field at the relay signal drone, enter the password, and connect to the command center: "Hey, are you here, I'm out of town, can you see me?" ”

Sixty kilometers away, Su Mu in the cockpit of the mecha paused for a few seconds when he saw the blazing white on the screen: "Yes, your location has been determined." Then he added: "Actually, don't be sure, Jing Xiang has already informed us about your return. ”

Blazing: "Well, the negotiations are over, and they have to consider my request." They will give me an answer at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

Su Mu nodded solemnly and relievedly: "It seems that they are willing to accept all the conditions." ”

Blazing White spread his hands and said playfully: "If I don't want to, I can only attack." ”

Su Mu did not follow the blazing words to discuss attacking Jingxiang Fortress. Instead, after a few seconds of silence, he spoke slowly.

Su Mu: "Xiaobai, now I feel that your punishment is a kind of partiality. ”

Hearing this, Blazing White made a move that couldn't help you: "Really? So this punishment, do you think the Su family can accept it? ”

Su Mu: "This? ”

This kind of punishment, if the target of Blazing White's severe punishment is other giant families, it will inevitably be strongly counterattacked by the conservative faction of other families, and even within the Order Army, there are very few who can support Blazing White.

But now Blazing White only punishes the Rong family, and Su Mu, who is a conservative in the Order Army, always feels that his family seems to be lagging behind.

After all, all of Rong's industries were confiscated, but they were arranged for space development tasks, that is, in the future development of the Great Order, the establishment was arranged in advance.

When everyone is lagging behind, falling behind is a habit, and it is difficult to be asked to take a small step forward. But when someone is found moving forward, those who are lagging behind are inexplicably aware of a sense of crisis.

Sitting in the car, the number of heavy tanks escorted outside, grew, reached sixty-six.

Blazing Bai was watching the official news of Qianchuan in the past few months with some boredom, and watching the media people change their undisciplined tone day by day with the change of the current situation, with a golden hook on their mouths.

At this time, Su Mu asked again: "Is it really only the Rong family that is severely punished?" ”

Blazing Bai felt Su Mu's hesitation, and said with a smile: "My strength can only severely punish the Rong family." Now that I've come to this point, I want to do more, and no one is helping me anymore. ”

When he said this, Blazing White was slightly lonely. But there is hope in the eyes. Then Blazing White smiled optimistically: "When we all get old, everyone should follow." ”

The blazing white sedan had now driven into the main road, and the speed began to pick up, and the car escorting behind it quickly followed.

……

February 24th, 6:10 p.m.

On the ocean 400 kilometers northeast of Cuiyu Port, the news of the complete surrender of Jingxiang Fortress was reported on the electronic interface of Baiye's desktop. And outside Cuiyu Port, drones on the side of the Order Army have also been discovered.

Obviously, if Bai Ye wants to evacuate, he will not have time to take the pots and jars to Qianao Island, and if he does not bring these pots and jars, the Bai family's Qianao Island will be a second-rate family, and it will be annexed by the Zhao family on Qianao Island in less than ten years. With such a result, a certain supreme will of the Bai family's hibernation warehouse would never agree to such a result.

Therefore, Bai Ye was studying the peace negotiation plan at this time.

In just 20,000 words, Bai Ye read the content for a whole afternoon, studying and studying word by word, reading word by word, word by word, and dividing paragraphs and research priorities.

Since the war, the restless and often angry Bai Ye has become quieter than ever in this afternoon.

At seven o'clock, the assistant knocked on the door and entered, and informed Bai Ye: "Chief Chief, General Bai Shengle has arrived. ”

Bai Ye, who was on the bookcase, raised his head: "Let him in." ”

The door slowly opened and closed again.

After seeing Bai Shengle, Bai Ye raised his hand to let Bai Shengle sit down, sighed and said, "Now, what will they do now?" ”

Bai Shengle: "If the war continues, they are determined to expel us from the Eastern Continent completely, and by deploying troops along the coastline, they will make a long-term plan to unify Qianchuan." ”

Hearing this, Bai Ye didn't show any signs of anger on his face, and asked with the last bit of expectation: "So if the war ends now, what conditions will they give?" ”

Bai Mingle: "It's still the same condition, waiting for us to compromise on the order." His tone was like that of a child who had been hungry for a day, but could only chew on food he didn't like.

Bai Ye said a little lonely: "We choose to cooperate, is it still the same as the original condition?" ”

Bai Shengle nodded, and then added: "But compared to us, the Rong family has been treated the worst. And now, there are voices within the Order Army that all the Chikawa families should be treated equally. ”

Bai Ye slowly looked at the electronic interface in front of him again, and after a while, he said helplessly: "Prepare to contact them, if you are sure of their sincerity, agree to their conditions." ”

Bai Shengle nodded, got up from the table, and prepared to withdraw.

Bai Ye stopped Bai Shengle. Bai Ye: "Shengle, you say, is it a blessing or a curse for the Rong family this time?" ”

After Bai Shengle heard this, he had three points of helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Chief Lord, this is not a problem we can consider. There is no such person in the Bai family. ”
