Xiao Letian's love for Xiang Ying is so cruel. He positions Xiang Ying as a reformist who can control the political pendulum, and a powerful reformer!
But he also limited Xiang Ying's possibilities to shift the political pendulum from the extreme right to the extreme left, because Xiao Letian did not even want to give Xiang Ying the position of prime minister for one term.
Because Xiao Letian knew that if Xiang Ying and his group used the sword well, it was a sharp sword to kill the enemy, but if they didn't use it well, it would also be a murderous weapon for wiping their own necks!
The new capitalists will evolve and upgrade to control the Chinese people. Will these military madmen not evolve and upgrade and follow the old path of Japanese and German militarism in previous generations?
Definitely, look at all the audacious actions the Stormtroopers are doing now. Once Xiang Ying and the others complete their suppression of the capital oligarchy, they will definitely seize power and refuse to let go!
The military begins to control politics and the economy in all aspects, strongman regimes begin to emerge, and military dictators are likely to come to power!
These people naturally like to use force to solve problems. Once various economic problems arise at home, they will definitely choose to expand externally to pass the crisis!
Wouldn’t it be possible for soldiers to become politicians and capitalists? The answer is yes, no one in the world says that one identity will work until death.
Officers with real power also have to get married and have children. They also have family relatives. When they successfully control the state affairs, then these people who are dependent on them will definitely take advantage of the east wind to enter the political arena and dominate the business world!
Moreover, once militaristic ideas spread, the harm will be even more terrifying. Riots, military coups, assassinations... Once soldiers become fanatical, the violence they unleash is extremely terrifying.
Japan after the Meiji Restoration is a typical example. Militarism controlled the country's resources. After Ito Hirobumi's death, no civilian group could control these fanatical samurai.
Japan's February 26th Mutiny and May 15th Coup are typical examples. Even Japan's Prime Minister and other soldiers killed at will, and they were not assassinations but explicit killings!
In that kind of military frenzy, eleven young naval officers broke into the official residence of Japanese Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai, and they were shot to death without letting the Prime Minister say a word!
Even these fanatical officers wanted to kill the international comedian Chaplin, who was visiting Japan at the time and had a close personal relationship with Takeshi Inukai.
Fortunately, Inukai Takeshi's son was out playing with Chaplin at the time and escaped the disaster. This shows how crazy the fanatical militarists were at that time.
What is even more incredible is that during the trial of the case, militarists across Japan interfered. At that time, 350,000 people across Japan wrote a bloody letter to the military court demanding a lighter trial for the eleven officers.
Eleven young men in Niigata Prefecture even cut off their own fingers and sent them to court, demanding that they die instead of these officers!
Under the intervention of militaristic fanaticism, the court made an incredible verdict. None of the eleven military officers who killed a country's prime minister received the death penalty.
After only two or three years of imprisonment, these officers were released. It is conceivable that they must have enjoyed a very enjoyable vacation in prison during the two or three years they served.
Will the Chinese become like this? Xiao Letian thinks it is very possible that once the radical forces in the army are used to fight against the capital oligarchy, the soldiers after victory will not let go of their rights at all!
This is human nature. There is no way to avoid it. When the political pendulum is swinging, there are always people who want to completely fix it and fix it at a point that is beneficial to them!
The nouveau riche of capital are trying to nail the pendulum to the highest position of the extreme right, while the militarist believers want to firmly lock the pendulum to the highest position of the extreme left.
This is human instinct, because behind every behavior represents infinite interests and rights!
In order to avoid this situation, Xiao Letian must make Xiang Ying, the reformer, a tragic figure. He must pour cold water on them when militarism is at its most fanatical and let them know what they should and should not do. Do!
Xiang Ying will save the Chinese people from the hands of the capitalist oligarchs, but his end may be as tragic as that of Shang Yang, Wang Anshi and other reformers!
Because what Xiao Letian wants is to smash the capital oligarchy, but he also wants to retain the Chinese capitalists as a group!
Xiao Letian hopes that the military can save the country from danger, but he never wants the saviors to turn into warlords!
After Xiang Ying shattered the dreams in the hearts of the capitalist oligarchs, he had to step down tragically to calm the anger of the capitalists in exchange for the stability of the country's political situation!
What the Chinese want is for the east wind and west wind to alternate back and forth, but not for the complete east wind to kill the west wind, and the west wind to kill the east wind!
There is no need for a certain faction to die completely. Xiao Letian only needs the political pendulum to swing, and the entire Chinese nation to present a good situation of fighting but not breaking.
This is the plan for the ages, and it is the foundation for Xiao Letian to work hard for the rest of his life!
Now Xiang Ying has not passed Xiao Letian's test. The stormy waves in the North Sea are Xiang Ying's last big test. If his performance satisfies the head of state, then he can become the changemaker Xiao Letian chooses in his heart!
"Xiang Ying! I've already suppressed you like this, and I've pinned you down under the Wuzhi Mountain, unable to move. Do you dare to go crazy again?"
"Let me see you! Can you stand out from the filial son and grandson of a head of state and become a critic son and minister?"
"Let me see, one day in the future, do you have the courage to break the 'ancestral family law' that I have designated? Do you have the courage, and do you have the ability?"
"You have to prove it to me today!"
“Every successful swing of the political pendulum can bring about a class shakeup within the Chinese nation. Countless rentiers will fall into the mortal world, but countless people at the bottom can overtake in a roundabout way... and the stagnant water of the Chinese nation will start to flow! "
"Only this kind of class rotation can allow everyone to see hope. As long as the people of a country still have hope, it will not die!"
"It is foreseeable that every successful swing of the political pendulum will extend the life of the Chinese nation for at least fifty years. As long as this pattern of fighting without breaking becomes a habit of the Chinese nation, will the Chinese nation truly be able to achieve success for generations to come? Keep going!"
"Everything is just for the sake of fairness, everything is just a hope that the class within the Chinese people will not be solidified, everything is just a hope that generations of Chinese people can have hope in their hearts, a hope to improve their status!"
"With hope in his heart, he will still be happy even if he eats glutinous rice every day!"
"There is despair in my heart. Even if he lives in the Forbidden City like Puyi, he is nothing more than a walking corpse!"
"Come on Xiang Ying... accept this storm in the North Sea! Let me see how violent it is!"
