Chapter 571: World Overlord

"You two are just not fighting for the future of the revolution, don't be too happy. Ji Shengdian said unhurriedly, "Xiao Ling's original question was how to succeed in the revolution, and now has he found the answer?"

"I've seen the reality, but I still don't know what to do. ”

After listening to the third sister's words, Ji Lingxing's face suddenly fell again, "The reality is that from a geopolitical point of view, the European continent is the main front of capitalism, and there is no way to establish and develop a powerful revolutionary regime here. ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, "It's true that Europe can't do it, but that doesn't mean that the revolution can't succeed anywhere in the world." ”

"Huh?" Ji Lingxing's eyes were immediately filled with hope again, "Where, where?"

"From a geopolitical point of view, if the revolution succeeds, it will become an important force in the world, right?"

Ji Lingxing hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

"Then you just have to look at the regions of the earth that have the potential to grow into a world power, and then you can consider them as the cradle of the development and growth of the revolution. ”

"Oh. Ji Lingxing immediately turned his head and looked at the world map hanging on the wall of the living room.

Ji Aojian reminded, "Ninth sister, this place must be vast and populous, and it must belong to the same civilization circle to have the foundation to become a world power. ”

"Do you still need to say this?" Ji Lingxing snorted, "Except for Europe, it is nothing more than these vast geographical units, the North American continent, the East Asian continent. The South Asian subcontinent can barely be counted. ”

"What about the Islamic world?"

"The Ottoman Empire and those Muslim countries?" Ji Lingxing shook his head, "This region is geographically complex and fragmented. There is a lack of a regular geopolitical environment, and the Quartet is a large power plate. In the age of industrialization, there was little chance of a powerful nation. ”

"Okay, but don't forget about Russia. ”

"Rakshasa Country, doesn't that belong to Europe?"

"Russia is a Slavic civilization, and with a large territory in Asia, it cannot be completely equated with Europe. Ji Aojian explained, "In fact, what we usually call Europe, as well as the eyes of Europeans themselves, do not regard Russia as a European country very much. ”

"Okay. Even if it is a great power with potential. ”

"It's not potential, it's very potential. ”

Ji Ao said, "Look at how long Russia's strategic depth is, back then, it was a generation of Tianjiao French emperors who went on an expedition, and they were also defeated in the city. If the revolution in Russia is victorious, it will be very difficult for the capitalist bloc of countries to succeed in carrying out armed intervention. ”

"In this way, our Celestial Empire is more populous and farther away from Europe. If the revolution succeeds, wouldn't there be a safer strategic environment?"

"You're right. Ji Aojian clapped his hands, "In the history of later generations, the Celestial Empire completed industrialization after independence, and its national strength was even stronger by a higher level. ”

"Is there still a hierarchy of national strength among the world's great powers?"

"How can there be no rank?" Ji Ao kendao. "The world powers are either the pole of the world, or they are directly the world hegemons, the latter of course much stronger than the strong. ”

Ji Shengdian spoke slowly. "Among the world hegemons, there are also three realms. ”

"Huh?" Ji Lingxing was stunned. "Are there different realms among the world hegemons?"

saw Ji Aojian take out a notebook from his body and make a record with a quill pen. It's even more strange, "What are you going to do here?"

"Every time the third sister says the realm, it makes sense. Ji Aojian replied solemnly, "The last time I discussed the three realms of money, I was convinced. Now she wants to talk about the three realms of the world hegemon, the opportunity is rare, how can she not write it down?"

"Makes sense. Ji Lingxing praised, "Go back and copy the notes for me." ”

"In the ancient history of mankind, there was no global exchange, so no matter how powerful an empire was, it could only be regarded as a regional overlord, not a lord of the blue star in the strict sense. ”

Ji Shengdian paused, "So let's start with the first world overlord, the Sun Never Sets Empire. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"The kingdom of Great Britain is known for its vast colonies around the world and its control of some of the most important trade routes. Ji Shengdian said, "Britain has too many global interests, and its local military strength is limited, which is not enough to fully defend it. The strategy it adopted was to hire local soldiers with a small number of native defenders to maintain the daily order of the colony. In the event of a large-scale rebellion in the colonies, or the emergence of a strong enemy vying for supremacy, Britain would assemble a powerful navy and go to the theater of operations to defeat the enemy. ”

Ji Lingxing asked, "So what kind of realm is Britain's world hegemony?"

"The hegemonic realm of Britain can be summed up in eight words: those who commit crimes against Britain will be punished even if they are far away. ”

"Hey, those eight words sound familiar. ”

These words have allusions, and you will naturally feel familiar. Ji Shengdian said casually, "Next, let's talk about the world overlord of the higher realm." ”

"The third sister said quickly. ”

"According to the history of the afterlife, the world hegemon in a hundred years will be the United States of America. Ji Shengdian said, "If the British still need colonial materials and markets, in the era of the Americans, financial hegemony is more mature, and they can directly complete the plunder through the global market system, so they no longer need to directly occupy the colonies, they only need to firmly control some important nodes in the world." Moreover, the United States has a much larger military than Britain, with almost every fleet in every region of the globe capable of crushing most countries. Therefore, when there is a regional hot spot or a conflict of interests, the Americans often do not have to gather a large number of troops, and can directly use the fleet cruising nearby to solve the problem, and those small and medium-sized countries that resist the interests of the United States will be ruthlessly suppressed. ”

"What are the characteristics of such a world hegemony?"

"The hegemony of the United States can also be summed up in eight words: Heaven is far away, and the United States is very close. ”

One is "even if it is far away", and the other is "very close to you". Between this distance and proximity, the realm gap between the two generations of overlords has already been reflected.

Ji Lingxing silently recited these two realms a few times, and continued to ask, "Third sister, what is the highest realm of world hegemony?"

"The highest level of world hegemony, as far as I know history, has not yet appeared. ”

"It turns out that it hasn't appeared yet?" Ji Lingxing was disappointed.

"Although it has not yet appeared, we can reasonably deduce it. ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, "The world hegemon that surpasses the first two realms must be unique in the world in terms of military strength, and occupy the high-end of the economic system, and more importantly, its conceptual value is a global ideological value, and its historical culture is a global historical culture." If in the era when the British and the United States occupied the hegemon, other countries still had a resistant-type concept system, in the final era of world hegemony, mankind can only remember one voice. ”

Ji Lingxing's breath became short, "What is such a realm?"

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. ”

Since the whole world is already under the earth, it is not the king's land, what is the need to "conquer even if it is far away"? What else does it need to emphasize that "it is very close to you"?

The younger siblings nodded convincingly, feeling that the third sister's understanding of world hegemony was too profound.

Ji Ao Kendao, "Third sister, I think that from the first two overlord realms to the last overlord realm, it seems that from the hegemony to the royal realm. ”

"Haha, you're right. Ji Shengdian laughed, "Your strength overwhelms everyone, and your culture assimilates everyone, then you are naturally the king, and no one will say that you are domineering." ”

"Third sister. Ji Lingxing also asked, "Do you think that our Celestial Empire will become the highest level of hegemony in the future?"

"Who knows, history cannot be assumed. ”

Ji Shengdian chuckled, "However, as far as ancient regional history is concerned, China is the only country that has successfully reached the third realm of regional hegemony, so it is not impossible to achieve the third realm of global hegemony in future history." ”

"I hope so. Ji Lingxing was leisurely fascinated. "Third sister, when are we going to leave for China? I can't wait to launch a revolution in the Celestial Empire!"

"Ninth Sister, are you so anxious?" Ji Aojian said in surprise, "Could it be that you don't care about it directly on the European side?"

"Anyway, there is no hope of revolutionary victory on the European side, so why should I waste my youth here?"

Ji Lingxing snorted, "I, a Chinese, came to Tessie thousands of miles away, for what? Do you really think that I regard the liberation of the European people as my own cause and want to fight here for the rest of my life?"

"That's, that's. Ji Aojian understood, "You are using Europe as an experimental field for revolutionary theory, in fact, you want to save the country and the people after returning to the Celestial Empire." ”

"I still need to make some arrangements for my return home. ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, and then Masasei said, "If it goes well, in a few months, we can set off with the fleet together." ”

Ji Aojian blurted out, "Fleet?"

"Little sword, what kind of memory do you have!" Ji Lingxing snorted dissatisfiedly, "The most important purpose of the third sister's visit to Europe this time is to help the sixth sister take away twelve battleships, which is an important weapon for us to compete for world sea power." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it for a while. Ji Aojian said with a smile, "Third sister, what do you want me to do next?"

"You two can play as you please, you don't need to do anything anymore. Ji Shengdian waved his hand, "Before returning to China, it is also good to travel around Europe." ”

Ji Lingxing said, "I've been to many countries, what else do I need to travel?"

"You've been there, but Xiaojian hasn't been there yet. Ji Shengdian smiled, "Besides, Xiao Ling, you are coming and going to these places for the revolution, but I am afraid that you have not really appreciated the historical monuments and customs of Europe." (To be continued.) )
