"The closure of modern feudal society in the East was mostly opened by other ambitious powers with cannons."

"When one side is far more powerful than the other and there is no checks and balances, it tends to make those Western powers get carried away."

"Use power to conduct so-called trade, and let another country become a slaughterhouse for their profits."

"It's true for Shenzhou, and it's true for Dongying. Both countries have similar experiences, and the two countries also have a geographical relationship of a strip of water, and have often traveled back and forth since ancient times. ”

"Shouldn't we join hands in such an era? The co-prosperity of East Asia is not a lie, and only by working together and coexisting and mutual benefit can we give East Asian countries more say power. ”

"I believe that one day, the glory of the East will reappear in our hands."

In a large conference hall, a group of people were listening to a scholar on the stage.

Looking at the young scholar on the stage wearing a gorgeous suit and a handsome face, I listened to his impassioned speech.

Even if the scholar's language is not so authentic, the people in the audience can still feel the scholar's emotions.

It's just that for this, the reactions of those in the audience are naturally very different, because some people have factions, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same idea.

But either way, it didn't delay them from applauding, because this scholar deserved their applause.

This is not because of the scholar's speech just now, although his speech is very well-founded and infectious, and even many Dongying scholars in the audience have been rendered by him.

After all, the hatred for the West in this era is also not small in the eyes of the Dongying people at this time.

They also can't forget the history when they were broken open by warships, men were killed, and women were robbed.

Although they also began to develop rapidly with this, they still can't forget the hatred buried in this humiliating history.

But they generally don't dare to say it, yes, they don't dare! It's ridiculous, but it's true, it's a habit in their country.

Worship the strong, swing the sword at the weak, and preach the so-called bushido.

Therefore, for those Western powers who do not know their strength, especially country M that opens their doors with guns, they have never dared to go to war easily.

It is precisely because of this that although this group of Dongying people were aroused by the last sentence of oriental glory, most of them did not fully agree.

At least most of them have ambitions for Shenzhou, not only because of Shenzhou's resources, but also because of Shenzhou's symbolic meaning to Dongying.

The previous battle with the Great Q Empire had brought them untold amounts of silver and resources, and they were staring at Shenzhou like a hungry dog.

Moreover, they have been pressed in the past, and they always want to truly conquer such a heavenly kingdom to enrich their ambitions.

Therefore, no matter how wonderful this scholar's speech is, most of the people here are contemptuous of this speech in their hearts.

They applauded because the young scholar had helped them to gain a lot of money in this economic war.

Or rather, it has helped their big faction to achieve a lot of benefits.

Although the financial crisis has passed not long ago, the economic war has not stopped, and Dongying obviously did not have an advantage in this economic war at the beginning.

In the competition with countries such as country M, they have always suffered a lot.

The young scholar helped them gain in the competition with country M, even if it was later due to the insistence of some policymakers.

This led to some bad results, but it was not their big faction that suffered.

That's why they deliberately came to listen to the senior's speech and applauded.

Listening to the warm applause, although Ning Yuan still had his signature smile, he also knew that this group of so-called politicians and officers was not sincere.

After all, he didn't even believe in that statement, so how could these people believe it.

Some hatred hadn't started yet, but it had already been deeply planted in Ning Yuan's mind.

It's just that he needs to maintain such a "stupid" appearance, otherwise he really can't let these guys unguard themselves.

Speaking of which, he has been here for more than half a year, and during this time, he has relied on some previous relationships, his own knowledge, and some prophets from later generations.

He has already opened up the situation in Dongying, or rather, he has approached a large faction.

Today's large-scale lecture is not his exclusive session, but a special economic report meeting affiliated with the Navy Military Department.

That's right, Admiralty, it may be a little strange, but that's what it is.

There are such things as factions in any country, but in this era, there are many outrageous things like Dongying, and various factions are mixed with each other.

There are hawks and doves, young and royalists, and even the army, navy and army are extremely estranged.

Ning Yuan remembered that in the information he knew, Dongying's army almost killed the headquarters of the navy again.

The reason was that the navy was defeated in a foreign war, and after the navy was defeated, he returned home without informing the army.

As a result, the army's supply lines were missing, and tens of thousands of soldiers died tragically, so the army directly surrounded the naval headquarters.

It was only later stopped, but this antagonism has persisted since the Meiji Restoration.

It is precisely such a system full of contradictions that makes Dedongying want to start a war in order to divert the so-called contradictions.

Unfortunately, even in the war, these contradictions almost killed the so-called emperor.

Of course, these are not what Ning Yuan wants to manage, all he has to do now is to place bets and then make good use of the form on the field.

As for why he chose the navy instead of the army, this naturally also had Ning Yuan's own considerations.

Everything is just planned for Ning Yuan's next thing, and contradictions are never used to cover up, but to stimulate.

This is also what Ning Yuan thinks he should do as a spy, and it is more practical to directly solve a little problem from the root than to hoe and rape in China.

And in the past six months, his bet has also been very useful, although it only allows the navy to profit in economic warfare, but compared to the size of country M, Dongying is still a little worse.

So Ning Yuan knew that it would rebound when he played to a certain extent, but he still decisively stopped, but as he thought, greed is something that can't be shaken off.

Even though the Navy's Economic Department made a timely cut due to his strong opposition, the economic department of the Army, which was hitchhiking, did not seem to have cut in time.

was well educated once, Ning Yuan naturally didn't care about this, if he wanted to get more capital, he could only bet on one side.

And some of his talents naturally allowed him to slowly enter the vision of some of the upper echelons of Dongying.

But he also has some of his own support, and this is the foundation of his subsequent plan.

So at this time, looking at the group of applauding Dongying people, he could laugh so happily, because he knew that he had also caught an old acquaintance in today's speech.
