“In the eyes of Benjamin and other deep-rooted colonialists, the aggressive rise of the Chinese people smells dangerous, because they themselves are such careerists, the kind of evil dragons and beasts that export war, and their hearts are like that Yes, naturally everyone else in the world is like that."
"Thieves look at everyone in the world like thieves, and perverts look at women all over the world. It's such a simple truth. If his heart grows like that, it will naturally affect his vision."
"The Prime Minister said that the Chinese were invaders, but when I presented evidence that the Russian army was massacring indigenous people in the Far East, he chose to turn a blind eye. Don't we Chinese have the most basic right to survive? We should let go. When others are killed, do you still have to shout that the killing is good?"
"What exactly Tsarist Russia did in the Far East has been reprinted in the Oriental series of reports before. Over time, we will conduct in-depth reports and release more evidence, so that all kind-hearted European people can take a closer look. What exactly did we do?" Why fight that war..."
"It was clearly a forced battle for survival, but it was so smeared as an invasion? Why is this? Has the British national strategy changed? Has the UK and Tsarist Russia reached a close strategic alliance? They are even so friendly that they can speak without conscience. ?”
Xiao Letian shook his head sadly, "No, of course not. Prime Minister Benjamin is not that unwise. He used the War in the Far East and several early conflicts between me and the Qing Dynasty to make a fuss. In fact, the core appeal is that we Chinese people Expansion in Southeast Asia threatens British interests..."
"Some people even think that we, the Chinese, are going to adopt a maritime strategy and compete directly with Britain for colonies and control of golden ports and golden waterways! I know that there must be many people who advocate this, especially France and Tsarist Russia. …”
"What does our expansion in Southeast Asia look like? I don't want to defend myself. I have a report from the United States here. I hope it can help European people clarify their doubts..."
Xiao Letian took a thick folder full of curlicue English words from Wang Ju's hand. After opening it, it was filled with all kinds of data and charts.
"There is no steel company in the world called Carnegie Steel Works. It is currently developing very rapidly and has close relations with the Morgan, Chase, Rockefeller and other families. I think you editors are well-informed and should have heard about it..."
"The cooperation between the Carnegie Group and our Chinese people is still very close. Since I became the Prime Minister of Ryukyu, a large amount of steel and arms trade were negotiated through the Carnegie Group, so naturally we in East Asia That is an important market for the Carnegie Group..."
"Every year, the Carnegie family's office in Ryukyu makes a detailed market analysis report and sends it back to the United States. This is the latest quarterly report in May this year. I have reserved a copy... I believe that the results of this third-party inspection are still credible to the British people..."
"Please take a look here... There is a series of very interesting data here.' Southeast Asia, which the Chinese called Nanyang in ancient times, currently has a total number of Chinese immigrants approaching four million, scattered throughout the Thousand Islands, with a total of 64 large and small Kentun districts. , countless commercial investments in major cities...'"
"Kantun District is the main economic model of the Chinese in Nanyang. They form villages one by one based on their closeness in family, geography, language, etc., and countless village groups develop into several cities. This is a settlement area. The most basic structure!”
"But we discovered a very strange phenomenon. The main economic structure of these settlements is very different from that of Western manors..."
"The economic structure of European-invested estates is generally that the rubber industry accounts for 30%, the spice industry accounts for 25%, and the medicinal materials industry accounts for 15%...the rest are other scattered cash crops..."
"Here we only count the economic structure of agriculture and animal husbandry, mining and industry are not included...Okay, now you look at the Americans' analysis of us..."
"But the Chinese-owned settlements are completely different from European and indigenous estates. They have given up the most profitable cash crops. The most widely cultivated area in all the settlements is rice!"
"Rice, sugar cane, oil palm... agriculture actually accounts for 55% of the overall economic structure! Rubber, spices, medicinal materials and other industries only account for 12% of the total economy, then animal husbandry accounts for 10%, and the rest are handicrafts and emerging industries …”
"I can't understand the Chinese people's fanatical love for food. In their eyes, although food trade is not the most profitable, it is the most stable and noble!"
"Currently, two-thirds of the rice produced in Nanyang every year has to be shipped back to the Qing Dynasty for sale. It is precisely because of such huge industry replenishment that the conservative and war-torn Qing Empire did not suffer from the famine that swept the country like the late Ming Dynasty. …”
“The Chinese call this kind of behavior accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, which is basically the same as charity in the West, and the promoter of this kind of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is the head of state of the Chinese nation, Xiao Letian…”
The editor-in-chief present was dazzled by all the data. The data was cost-effective, and the Carnegie Group's business reputation was also very good, so there was no chance of fake data being produced.
"I'm sorry, I really can't understand. Why do you still vigorously promote agriculture when the profits from rubber, spices, medicinal materials and other industries are ten times that of agriculture? It is against the rules of business to abandon huge profits and choose small profits!"
"Is it possible that all you have done is for the victims of the disaster in the country?"
Listening to the questions from countless editors, Xiao Letian could no longer control his emotions. Tears rolled down his eyes, "What can I do? What can I do... Do I have to watch the folks in my mother country starve to death?" "
"Gentlemen! China, which is conservative and war-torn, can no longer support such a large population. We must expand outward..."
"But our expansion is not to enslave other ethnic groups, nor is it to obtain more gold and silver. We just want to grow more crops and feed more people. We must not let the tragic situation of exchanging children and eating them happen again!"
After saying this, Xiao Letian covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly!
At this moment, all the senior Chinese officials felt sad for a moment. Sima Yun said with tears in his eyes, "There are so many barren mountains and dense forests in Southeast Asia. The indigenous people don't cultivate them, and the European colonists don't want them. There are no valuable treasures there..."
"What you threw away, we Chinese took for construction, cleared wasteland for cultivation, cut grass for raising animals, and used our hard work to turn those wild lands into rich farming areas. What's wrong with this?"
"Who have we invaded? Whose interests have we robbed? What are those lands that are not as valuable as us Chinese immigrants? And what can you get from those lands?"
"Gentlemen, who can answer me!"
