Because this world is somewhat similar to the earth, Bai Zhong became somewhat interested in it. The country of Dongtu also seems to be quite similar to the country from which it was born, but the course of history in recent centuries has been different.

With some curiosity, Bai Zhong walked on the streets of Li'an Mansion. The city has obviously been built for at least a hundred years, and not only the buildings with ancient cultural feelings on the streets have been preserved, but also some facilities such as roads have been built, which look relatively old.

Obviously, the city and the country ushered in a wave of modernization a long time ago, but instead of climbing to the top of the world's advanced level, it continues to linger in the second-rate echelon.

Bai Zhong came to a very famous spot in the city, Jinghu Park. Ten miles of weeping willows around the lake, the flat lake is like a mirror, the lotus pond springs, plus the pavilions and pavilions of ancient buildings, it is really a very good landscape.

There are not only beautiful scenery, but also some social activists. Bai Zhong did not know that Qingzhou has many institutions of higher learning and active thinking, and Jinghu Park in Li'an Province has also become a place for many progressive young people to talk and mingle here.

In a small pavilion by the lake, an extremely thin young man stood on a railing, wearing a dark blue school uniform with large lapels and a few pimples on his face, looking extremely jerky. In front of him, only a few people listened, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of his speech in the slightest.

“…… Guanwai has been occupied by the Qi people, but the East is busy with infighting, cutting off dissidents, and resisting foreign aggression without any regard for the country's plans. It is a good Dongtu Shengde Heavenly Dynasty, which has been established for 400 years, and has been bullied to such a point by the former small state of Puer. The land area outside the customs is more than four times that of the four islands of Qiji, and it is fertile for thousands of miles and rich in resources. The Qiqi people have obtained the coal and iron ore of Liaozhou and the oil of Jinzhou, and the heavy industry has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the industrial output value has been several times that of China's eastern soil. Now that the Qiji people are eyeing the enemy and repeatedly violating the border, will the Great Wall be able to hold back the enemy's bombers? Will the Tired Pass be able to stop the enemy's destroyers? No! We, the people of Dongtu, should wake up, it's time to work hard, no longer look up to the powers, and strive to build a national industry and strengthen the army and the country! ”

As he was talking, several policemen in black skins came running.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? You are gathering a crowd to make trouble, hurry up and disperse for me! Talking nonsense about the rights and wrongs of friendly countries, that is going to cause a diplomatic incident, hurry up and get out of here! ”

The young man who gave the speech was furious, stood on the railing and shouted: "I am talking about the great matter of saving the country, for the sake of the lives and well-being of hundreds of millions of compatriots in the East Territory, why can't we say this in our own land?" Are you guys the lackeys of the Gigi people? ”

The leading policeman, who was wearing a crooked police hat, lifted a handful of his pants, pointed at the young man with a baton, and shouted: "It would be good if Lao Tzu could be a Qi man, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and still need to suffer from your group of mud legs?" ”

When several students heard the police's remarks, they were all excited, but after all, they were just half-grown children, and they couldn't resist these fierce policemen at all, and within a short time, these students were driven away by the police.

The young student who had just given a speech was also beaten with several batons, and his face was indignant.

Bai Zhong followed and said to the young student, "That's a good point. ”

The young student was very happy to see a guy who looked like he was in his twenties, but his temperament was like that of a thirty or forty-year-old, and he was very happy, and he said: "It is good to let more people realize the dangerous situation we are facing now. ”

Bai Zhong admired this young man a little, he had met a lot of people, and he could tell which people were just talking, but those people were willing to fight and sacrifice for their ideals.

Bai Zhong asked, "Can you tell me why our Eastern Soil has fallen to this point?" ”

The young student had just been interrupted from his speech, and now he was encouraged by the desire to continue listening, and he said, "The Celestial Empire of the Eastern Soil once led the world, accounting for more than half of the world's total economy. However, since the beginning of the modern industrial revolution, Dongtu has begun to decline. The Western powers continued to invade our country, and also ceded Hierro and other overseas lands, forcing the eastern Turkish vassals to become their colonies. A hundred years ago, our ancestors first opened their eyes to the world and introduced modern industry, but they still failed to completely change it.

After the world war, the world power was reshuffled, and Eagle replaced Ochs as the world hegemon, but after the Bayer Revolution, the development was also extraordinarily rapid, forming a situation of confrontation between the two powers. We survive in the gap between the two powers, but there are constant wars at home. During the Chunyuan Rebellion, because the official army had lost its combat effectiveness, it had to support local regiments to train their arms, and many warlords started from there, and even the East also achieved the position of today's prime minister because of the support of the Son of Heaven, to put it bluntly, he was just a big warlord.

Although the country has developed in the past 30 years, the flow of goods between warlords is inconvenient, and it has been exploited by the capital of foreign powers. In other countries, on the other hand, progress has been particularly rapid. With the support of the Ige country, Qi Ji is now powerful. It seeks to invade the hinterland of our country, occupy our human and natural resources, and challenge the current pattern of the two great powers of the Ige and Bayer countries competing for hegemony. Now that it has invaded our country's borders, the East is busy fighting his war, ignoring the fact that the enemy is just a stone's throw away, and the danger of the country's destruction is just around the corner! ”

The more the young student spoke, the more angry he became, and he even turned red and gasped for breath.

Bai Zhong asked: "So, it is the division and chaos of the country, which has led to the inability to gather the strength of the whole country to develop industries and improve national strength, and now there are only backward and beaten people?" ”

The young student's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right, sir, what you said is very right, if you fall behind, you will be beaten." Over the past half century, the warlords have been passed down from generation to generation, and even changed several generations, but they are in fact the spokesmen of the Western powers. Prime Minister Dongfang, now backed by the country of Bayer; Zhang Shixiong of Qingzhou is the spokesperson of Kaituoguo; Sun Yuweng of Wuzhou, the backer is a Qiqi person; Yuezhou Lian Zhenyuan, entangled with the Oaks people; Lingzhou Han Fengju, in order to win over Gao Keren, his wife married Gao Keren.

Which of these people is really for the development of the country? Foreign capital comes in, invests and sets up factories, regardless of what our locals need, all of them are light industry and low value-added products, they do not need tariffs to come and go, relying on our low labor costs, sell overseas, and make a lot of money. In the end, we have no technology, no money, only workers who can afford to eat, and a devastated hometown with a ruined environment! ”

This is obviously a somewhat heavy topic, although the eastern soil of the Azure Star is much more advanced than the country C of World War II. However, Dongtu faced the same problem of country C at that time, but the great powers changed their way of aggression.
