Chapter 75: The Commander's Teachings
Having negotiated the Americans, the Germans could not wait.
However, the German envoy did not meet Fan Yize, but was received by Li Daolin.
Fan Yize can't do everything himself.
Although Li Daolin is not really able to be in charge of himself now, Fan Yize has helped him set up a staff team, which is enough for Li Daolin to face the powers of various countries alone.
The most important thing is that Fan Yize's strength is on the bright side, and Li Daolin's task at this stage is still very easy.
When Li Daolin met with the German envoy on behalf of Fan Yize, two special guests came to the small courtyard where Fan Yize lived.
The two guests were escorted into Jakarta without any contact with outsiders during the whole process, got off a destroyer of the Red Police Navy, and went directly to the small courtyard by car, without any contact with anyone on the way.
In the small courtyard, there is an extra rattan chair and two cups of tea, and these two special guests can only sit here impatiently and wait.
Behind them, four heavily armed soldiers stared at these two people, putting great pressure on them.
Upstairs in the small courtyard, Fan Yize was giving a lecture to Xiao Yang's children.
ββ¦β¦ During the period of primitive accumulation of capital, most of the great powers adopted the red . Naked means of violence, such as armed occupation, overseas migration, pirate-style plunder, fraudulent trade, bloody slave trade, etc.
Later, through the form of 'free trade', underdeveloped countries, nations and regions were turned into their own commodity markets, raw material sources, investment sites, and sources of cheap labor and mercenaries.
As a global power, Britain relied on private colonial companies and armies, and its colonies spread all over the world except Antarctica, and at its peak one-fifth of the world's land and a quarter of the population were under British rule.
The so-called 'free trade' in colonial plundering is the simplest example: the British demanded that Indian farmers grow more cotton and less grain, and the British processed Indian cotton into cloth and sold it back to India. According to statistics, from 1814 to 1835, the British imported cotton yarn to India increased from less than 1 million to more than 51 million. Now, Britain exports more than 130 million horses of cotton to the world, and exports the rest of its grain to India, leading the way in so-called 'free trade'.
The most primitive colonial plunder is the most direct manifestation of colonial rule, such as: Spain plundered about 2.5 million kilograms of gold and 100 million kilograms of silver in the Americas. Portugal shipped at least US$600 million worth of gold and US$300 million worth of diamonds from Brazil. β
β¦β¦
Xiao Yang, who is only twelve years old, likes to learn the so-called culture from Fan Yize, and systematic teaching is carried out by the housekeeper.
Fan Yize only talks about targeted knowledge, and a lot of knowledge is not even available in higher education in many Western countries.
Xiao Yang likes to learn from Fan Yize, and he is very serious about recording and learning a lot of knowledge.
It is precisely because of Xiao Yang's attitude that Fan Yize is also happy to let this little boy grow up quickly.
After listening to Fan Yize's knowledge, Xiao Yang asked curiously: "Teacher, how strong is Britain now?" β
After pondering for a moment, Fan Yize said: "The territory is the largest in the world, the British Isles and India can be regarded as the British mainland, Canada, Australia and other Asian and southern African colonies have more than 1.5 times the land area of Russia, and the total territory area is about 34 million square kilometers.
It is the most populous in the world, with more than 500 million people in the three islands, India, Canada, Australia and British Malaya alone.
The United States may be the world's factory in terms of economic power, but Britain, which occupies one-fifth of the world's land and at least a quarter of the world's population, is the controller of the world market and the financial industry.
The British Army seems to be small in military strength, but the global colonial garrison is enough to make him the world's largest army, and the navy is the symbol that truly represents Britain's global hegemony, always maintaining the strength enough to defeat the world's second navy and the world's third navy at the same time.
The British Empire has dominated the world's technology, culture, and economic trade for nearly a century. β
After a few months of study, Xiao Yang has also grown a lot, especially his vision.
is still a little naΓ―ve thinking, although it is gradually maturing, but there are still children's thoughts that have not been taken off, and Fan Yize asked curiously: "Then teacher, you are so tough on the British, how can the British give up?" β
When Fan Yize heard this, he laughed, touched Xiao Yang's head, and said: "There is no hundred days of flowers, whether it is the Netherlands, Portugal, France, or the current Britain, there will be a day when they will step down from the throne."
Although your teacher and I do not have the huge territory and population base of the United Kingdom, your teacher has a military power far beyond that of the United Kingdom, and has scientific and technological strength that exceeds the world level.
Moreover, the British are even more afraid that they will lose the throne of world hegemony, and the United States, Germany, France, Russia and other powers are eyeing the enemy, waiting for the British to lose and take the opportunity to fall into the ground.
There is only one king's throne, and there is more than one attempter, and it is not easy to sit firmly, requiring not only absolute strength, but also great wisdom to sit firmly. β
When Xiao Yang heard this, his eyes brightened, and he said eagerly: "The reason why the teacher completely annihilated the British Far East Fleet was to make the British break their muscles and bones, and at the same time they did not dare to start the war lightly. β
Fan Yize nodded and said with appreciation: "As the third largest fleet in addition to the British Home Fleet and the Portsmouth Fleet, although the destruction of the Far East Fleet will not make the British step down from the throne, it is enough to make the British no longer sit firmly on the throne, and the British are not confident that they can easily defeat us in the next battle, and the inevitable result is to sue for peace, and maybe they will also want to win back a game at the negotiating table." β
"You have to remember that politicians must not only learn how to judge the situation, but also have courage and courage to learn. Every nation that can rise in the world has something worth learning from, and the nation also needs to learn and grow, and once it falls behind, it will inevitably be beaten. β
Xiao Yang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Teacher, I will remember." β
Fan Yize smiled slightly, and after arranging for Xiao Yang to study by himself, he walked down the attic, and the two special guests in the small courtyard were still restless.
Seeing this, the corners of Fan Yize's mouth curled, and he summoned the guard officer who was waiting for the order to order: "Find an independent courtyard for those two people to live in, prohibit the two of them from going out, and prohibit anyone from approaching, and entertain three meals a day on time." β
The guard officer nodded and left, and the two people in the small courtyard were forcibly taken away in protest.
