As the distance from the west coast of the United States became closer and closer, the basic military training of Sun Qian and the others had ended. Alveli also talked about everything he could, and more often than not, they communicated together.

The main force of the discussion was Every, Miyamoto and Sun Gan. As for Sun Xing and Kato, they are more willing to use force, and occasional exchanges have become the norm for the two.

In the discussion between the three of them: Afli's scheming, Miyamoto's maturity and stability, Sun Gan's youth and competitiveness, the three ideas collide with each other and compromise with each other, which can always produce unexpected results.

Led by Alfli, the three of them would discuss a certain issue from time to time. Alveli spared no effort to inspire the two, benefiting Sun Qian and Miyamoto a lot. Although the ideas of the two young people were still a little immature, the ideas that occasionally popped up also inspired Every. Because he is young, he is full of vitality, and because he is fearless, he can easily break the routine, which is the state that young people should be.

The scope of the discussion between the three of them became more and more extensive, no longer limited to war, but also involved politics, economics and other fields. Of course, among them, Alveli is the leader, and the two young people are the listeners, after all, politics and economics are still far away for the two young people, especially Sun Qian, who has not been exposed to it before.

Miyamoto's own ability is good, and he shows his own ideas in the process of discussion, considers the problem comprehensively, and tries to be as thoughtful as possible. Sun Qian was born a calf who is not afraid of tigers, and is full of a strong desire to explore any new affairs, and his edge will be revealed.

..........

Sun Qian is very satisfied with the current state of life, Alveli and Miyamoto are both well-educated, Sun Qian has learned a lot from the two, people have become more kind thinking, and their thinking is becoming more and more active.

As they got closer and closer to San Francisco, the three of them sat together again that day.

"Mr. Ai, what are we doing today?" As soon as he sat down, Sun Qian asked eagerly. Sun Qian is now enjoying the discussion.

"Oh, no hurry, let me think." Every frowned in thought.

Alveli has always grasped the direction of the topic discussion between the three of them, but the topic that Alveli chose today is likely to have an impact on the friendship between Sun Qian and Miyamoto, which is why Alveli frowned.

After a while, Avery still made up his mind and threw the question out, "Gentlemen, there is no doubt that the scope of this European war will become wider and wider, and our respective countries will be involved sooner or later, and what should our respective countries do to ensure their own interests." ”。

"Don't worry, we have time, think about it." "It's a big question, and there's a lot involved, so you think about it." ”。

Miyamoto and Sun Qian fell into deep thought, and Every sat aside to observe their expressions.

By observing Every, he found that Miyamoto's expression was more relaxed, while Sun Gan's expression was solemn.

Seeing that the two of them were almost thinking, Alvery coughed to interrupt their thoughts, and said, "Gentlemen, let me talk about it first, it's a brick throw." “。

"From the previous discussions, we have come to the conclusion that this European war is actually a war between the two military and political blocs of Britain and Germany in order to re-divide the world and seize the dominance of the world's resources, and whoever wins will continue to lead the world." Alveli summed it up and said.

"I think there is no doubt that the United States, far from the war, will enter the war, but the choice of the timing of the war is debatable."

"You know, geographically, the United States is on its own. It is not directly bordered by the main belligerent countries of the present. This gives the United States a geographical advantage beyond the physical realm. This ensured that the American homeland would not be vulnerable to war. “。

"As for the economic generals, it is more advantageous not to go to war than to go to war, why. Gentlemen, you must know that the scale of this war will be beyond anyone's imagination. The scale of the war means that the war will be very costly. Every watched Sun Qian and the two listen attentively, and deliberately slowed down the speed of speech.

"Although in the short term, there will not be a shortage of supplies between the two sides. But over time, there will inevitably be shortages of resources. ”

"The United States has a well-established industrial system that can produce a variety of products according to customer requirements. This is undoubtedly a feast for the United States. ”

"Well, in the long run, there is no doubt that the United States will enter the war. American careerists had long wanted to get involved in world affairs, and the outbreak of the war gave hope to the United States. As the war progresses, the United States will inevitably intervene in the war from an economic and military perspective. ”

"First of all, on the economic side. The United States will make the most of this war, and while European countries have to cut the size of their markets because of the war, the United States will quickly replace Europe and quickly become the main factory in the world market. ”

"At the same time, the American industry, especially the shipbuilding, chemical, automobile, and railroad industries, which had a great impact on the military industry, will also be stimulated by the great war to develop rapidly."

"Gentlemen, when New York replaces London as the world's financial center, when debtor countries become creditor countries in an instant, American careerists will surely enter this war at the first opportunity."

"You have to understand that if you don't get into the game, the United States can't dominate the game, and this time the United States will definitely be the rule-maker of the game."

In fact, the United States did exactly that, first making a lot of war money, and at the end of the war, it sent 200,000 soldiers who did not even bring all the equipment to the war, and had to rely on Britain and France to provide equipment. For the United States, which is far from the battlefield, it is undoubtedly a time to give full play to its strong industrial base, relying on its military industry, the United States sells a large number of bullets and cannons produced by itself to both sides of the war. US banks also issued large loans to Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and other countries, which can be said to be war money, and in fact the United States completely established its hegemony in the global economic system after the end of World War I. Although Britain and France won, the destruction of the industrial base, the shortage of labor, and the huge foreign debt of the war dragged their own country through the war. Therefore, the declaration of war by the United States on Germany long after the outbreak of the war can be considered to be a part of the distribution of spoils, or more explicitly, a dominant position in the distribution of spoils.

After Every finished speaking, he looked at the two who were thinking and said, "Gentlemen, the United States is a very realistic country, and when there is an entanglement of interests between countries, the United States will definitely protect its interests at the first time, so you don't need to be surprised." ”

"So, what do you think, Miyamoto?" Alvery asked Miyamoto.

"Mr. Every, you're right." Miyamoto said.

"As for us, Japan, due to its geographical location, will not join this war in the first place."

"From your description of the future of this war, Mr. Avery Willy, the scale of this war will be large, and the war will not be too short."

"It is not in Japan's interest to risk going into war too much prematurely."

"I think Japan will also learn from the United States in many aspects, first of all, in the economic aspect, as long as it does not join the side too early, although Japan's capital market is not as developed as the United States, it will definitely achieve some benefits."

"When the form of war becomes clear, Japan, with the blessing of economic superiority, will reap the dividends it deserves."

Miyamoto said it very simply, as if to echo Every. Obviously feeling that Miyamoto was a little embarrassed, and Everi also saw Miyamoto's embarrassment.

So Alveli also took care of Sun Qian's curiosity, and said to Miyamoto, "Miyamoto, you don't need to be like this, you must know that you represent Japan and not yourself, if it is just yourself, you can give up your interests for friendship, but when you represent your country, you must focus on the interests of the country." I think Sun Qian will understand. “。

After Miyamoto listened, he looked at Sun Qian, let go of the hesitation in his heart, and continued.

"In my mind, the benefits of this war are by no means simply war dividends."

"First of all, the dominance of East Asian issues. I think that after this war, the actual control of East Asia will be at an all-time low, regardless of who wins or loses. The main bottom spot of the East Asian problem lies in China. After Miyamoto finished speaking, he looked at Sun Qian, who was obviously stunned, and then said, "The world powers have a wide range of interests in China, and this world war will break the original world order, and if Japan wants to have a place on the international stage, it must be taken from the old forces." So no matter which side wins or loses, in the end Japan will get involved in the war. Japan has a natural fear of China, the most important country in East Asia, so it will use various means to restrict China's development. ”

Miyamoto didn't look at Sun Gan's darkening face, but just said to himself.

At the same time, in order to obtain the necessary resources for Japan's development, Japan will not allow a strong and unified China to emerge around itself. Through this war, Japan will replace the rule of the Western powers in China, turning China into a dumping ground for Japanese products and a producer of resources. Japan is too small, and only by constantly expanding can it take its place on the world stage. ”。

Miyamoto paused for a moment and said, "Japan, as an island nation, has a constant desire for land. And the current social situation in China determines that China cannot solve its own problems in a short period of time. And if the development of the international situation really proceeds as we predicted, it will also provide favorable conditions for Japan to enter China and even occupy the country alone. By fostering proxies, we have achieved certain benefits, and even direct military action is acceptable if necessary. ”

After Miyamoto finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, he knew that after saying this, there would be a gap between him and Sun Gan. He understood what Every meant, that is, he wanted to wake up Sun Qian, and between countries, interests always come first.

No matter how good a personal friendship is, it has to make way for the national interest.

Miyamoto gave the choice to Sun Qian. For this little brother, Miyamoto didn't want to break his heart, but he had to break his heart, the sooner Sun Qian accepted the reality, the sooner he could recognize the essence of this world. Let's just leave Sun Gan as the last gift before getting off the ship, although it is cruel.
