"We humans live on the earth, and everything we rely on to survive depends on this planet. The earth provides all the resources for us humans to survive..."
"Air, sunlight and water are resources that humans can enjoy for free. In addition, all life-sustaining resources require our efforts to obtain them from the earth..."
"But you must remember one major premise, that is, resources are destined to be limited, insufficiently distributed, and unevenly distributed!"
"I'll say it three times if it's important. You must remember that resources are limited, limited, limited!"
"Renewable resources, such as food, cotton, wool, meat... these seem to be produced every year and are eternal, but don't forget that the annual production constrains humans, so from this point of view, it can be There is also fierce competition for renewable resources..."
"As for non-renewable resources, let alone gold, silver, copper, iron, and coal and oil. The more you dig out these things, the less they will be. The Chinese will use more, and the Europeans will use less. This is an iron law! "
"So everything can be summed up in one sentence. When the money is gone, you can print more, but when the resources are used up, you cannot replenish as much as you want. This is an eternal and unsolvable contradiction between humans and the earth. !”
"Zaichun! So the inference you just made is not valid, because the Europeans have already studied this issue thoroughly! Their hearts are full of egoism, and any sign of threatening their national interests will be strangled to death. !”
"How big is the population base of China? If these people could reach the living standards of ordinary people in the UK, how much food, meat, gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and oil would be needed? This is not a small amount as you mentioned, it is a Terrifying astronomical figures, this large-scale consumption of resources is destined to eat away at the meat on Europeans’ plates!”
"Zaichun, let me ask you this? Don't you want the people of the Qing Dynasty to live as prosperous a life as the people of Europe?"
"I think about it, I've even dreamed about it!" Zaichun's eyes sparkled. ?
"Then you have to keep one thing in mind. If you want to make the people's lives better, you don't need to shout slogans, but the rice and white noodles in the people's bowls, the diced chicken legs on the plates, and all the cannons and warships to protect the people's safety..."
"And none of these things fall from the sky for free. Everything requires various renewable or non-renewable resources to maintain! This goes back to the problem I just mentioned. Resource distribution is the key to all conflicts in the human world. source!"
Zai Chun nodded silently. The master's words shocked him. The world is so hypocritical. The curtain of illusion created by Western politicians with friendly and gorgeous rhetoric has only opened a small corner. The cruelty and bloodshed are so thrilling.
"In other words... what the master means is that as long as the Qing Dynasty becomes stronger, Britain will definitely become my enemy?"
Xiao Daqing will become your enemy when he becomes stronger, but if the Qing Dynasty wants to become stronger, it must control more of the earth's resources. This is the fundamental reason why they have to become enemies..."
At this moment, the entire cabin was silent, everyone was thinking about this heavy topic.
Xiao Letian's thoughts suddenly drifted to his past life, which was an era when China had entered a period of great abundance of materials. After emerging from the century-old quagmire of the late Qing Dynasty, China's wealth was beyond the imagination of people of this era.
However, there are also hidden dangers in the prosperous times. The continuous expansion of national power and the rising desire of the people have given China a fanatical thirst for resources.
At that time, the price of almost anything the Chinese needed was raised, such as oil, steel, non-ferrous metals, grain... The huge appetite of the Chinese frightened the whole world.
Fortunately, at that time, China already had enough military power for self-defense, which ensured the security of its own country. Otherwise, if it had grabbed resources internationally like China, the war would have started long ago.
It was at that time that a strange speech appeared in society, and many people with ulterior motives tried their best to confuse the thinking of the Chinese people.
They divide the national sentiments of the Chinese people, create internal conflicts, and divert all the sources of unhappiness in life. One of the most classic accusations is that China's internal distribution is unreasonable and unfair.
It is true that China did have unreasonable and unfair distribution in that era, but why can't we avoid the important and take the light?
Europe and the United States occupy more than half of the world's resources, especially oil resources, which were the cornerstone of the world economy after World War II.
Most of these resources are controlled by Europe and the United States, while other countries can only get some scraps, and then they still accuse others of unfair internal distribution?
Please, if you don’t have enough resources, how do you want to divide it fairly? If we want fair distribution, do we have to ensure that there is something to share? Isn’t this something that even primary school students understand?
If you want everyone in the class to eat an apple, you must have a sufficient number of apples to divide, right?
You can't, one of you occupies a basket, and then accuse us of eating one apple per class, and say our distribution is unfair, right?
A thousand words can be said in one sentence: 'Anyone who only accuses others of unfair distribution without giving up resources in real money is a hooligan! '
Politicians in Europe and the United States are screaming and blaming for various problems in Chinese society. All the accusations can be summed up in one sentence: your distribution is unreasonable, and the people are living in poverty because you have not divided them properly. , some people eat more and occupy more.
Indeed, we must admit that this situation exists, but when you blame China and act like a savior and world policeman, should you come up with something to help a bunch of poor people in China?
If nothing else, how about giving China 5% more of the oil quota you control every year? I don’t need you to give it away for free. How about using your futures contract price before the Gulf War?
There is also gold, silver, and non-ferrous metals that China urgently needs... How about giving 1o% of your share of the pot?
What? You won't give it? Why are you talking nonsense to me?
As I said just now, if one of you occupies a basket of apples, stop blaming the poor students like us who eat one apple in a class.
Xiao Dao, "Don't believe the smiling faces of those hypocrites. When they criticize your political system and put forward various opinions, please think about whether they have truly given up resources to you!"
"Don't talk about money. In this world, sometimes money may not be able to buy the resources that a country desperately needs for development. Only the two legs of strong force and economy walking together are the fundamental guarantee of national security!"
At this point, Xiang Ying suddenly raised his head and spoke in confusion, "I admit that what the master said is indeed correct, but I still have two questions in my mind. Please help me solve my doubts..."
"First of all, resources are divided into two types: renewable and non-renewable. Renewable resources are the animal and plant resources we are familiar with such as food, cotton, etc... These can be completely increased through land reclamation? In other words, this total The quantity can be increased. Since the total quantity can be increased, why do we still say that there must be conflicts?"
"Then there are non-renewable resources, gold, silver, copper, iron, various ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and oil resources that Yuan has always been concerned about... It is true that these things are used less and less. In the long term, there is definitely a general trend of reduced consumption. Among them!"
"But this period of time will definitely be very long. In a relatively short period of time, can't we use the advancement of technology and increase production capacity to increase the total volume?"
"Since the total amount can be increased, can this fundamental conflict still be avoided?" ()
