Xiang Ying was stunned. At this moment, he really understood the gap between himself and his master. He didn't have the ability to think about the overall situation.
These passionate young men in the Stormtroopers have always wanted to expand their territory and expel the Tartars!
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still the expansion law of the past agricultural civilization. The ancient agricultural civilization launched wars, occupied other countries' land and enslaved the people of other countries.
What is the purpose of siege and land occupation? In fact, what we want is the benefits of agriculture and animal husbandry, land for farming, grassland grazing, and then developing some handicrafts or something!
This was the main purpose of war in ancient agricultural civilization, but when humans entered industrial civilization, commercial benefits far exceeded the benefits brought by farming.
Farming and grazing, no matter how powerful it is, is not as good as the Krupp factory casting a few cannons, which is a huge profit at a sky-high price!
The master has seen through everything, so he is dismissive of his stormtroopers, because subconsciously he is still a farmer, a farmer!
Xiao Letian looked at the shocked Xiang Ying and thought to himself, "Xiang Ying, not only this person from the 19th century, but also many people from the 21st century have this kind of peasant mentality!"
"In that era, countless people always thought about expanding their territory, but they never thought about how much value the stolen land could produce."
"Many times the wealth created by a high-tech company is comparable to that of a medium-sized country, so why do humans still go to all the trouble to grab land?"
"How much benefit can you get from destroying other people's countries? This is a very loss-making deal. You will never be able to recoup your war investment!"
"Even if you win in the end, the benefits you snatch can probably be obtained through peaceful business methods!"
"Every time the Federal Reserve shears the world's wool, the money it plunders is astronomical amounts that small and weak countries can't even imagine!"
"Military expansion? Besides satisfying the people's hormone secretion, what else can it do?"
Xiang Ying raised her head and looked at the master with a sudden expression of indifference, "I understand! Master, I finally understand..."
"What do you unserstand?"
"The Art of War states that a general cannot raise an army out of anger! I finally understand what anger means. Anger in ancient texts is actually a general term for emotions!"
"As leaders of the country, we are the ones who formulate national policies. We must not have any emotions first!"
"I can't start a war because I hate the Manchus! I can't start a war because I have the urge to expand my territory!"
"I cannot be swayed by emotions, but should calmly think about the necessity of war!"
"We don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of war either! When war does not bring benefits but puts us in a quagmire, even if the enemy poops and pees on the graves of my ancestors, I have to endure it!"
"And in another situation, when our economic development requires war to obtain new resources and new markets... Even if the enemy kneels in front of me and offers his whole family's women to let me play in vain and lick my hemorrhoids... I We have to start a war too!”
"Hahaha... That's right! Your metaphor is disgusting, but it's very real, that's it!"
Xiao Letian clenched his fist and punched Xiang Ying's chest twice. "Understood? Then when do you think we should start a war against the Manchus?"
Xiang Ying said with excitement, "This depends on the progress of our Chinese industrialization and can be adjusted at any time! We need to see the scale of the development of the master's fortress plan..."
"I understand the master's strategy, which is to use force to dig out military-industrial special zones within the Qing Dynasty, while absorbing cheap resources from the Central Plains, and then through industrial processing, manufacturing high value-added goods..."
"Then they will be dumped to the Qing Dynasty through these fortresses, railways, waterways, roads... and other grids!"
"Our products will not have competitors, and we are not afraid of foreign products... because we have geographical advantages, logistics advantages, and cultural advantages..."
"First make money, develop industrial strength first...and then wait for opportunities to continue to expand the fortress! Continue deeper into the interior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
"When will the war start? I think there is only one possibility, and that is when our productivity is extremely excessive and we need to go deeper into dumping and get cheaper resources..."
"When that time comes, we won't be able to survive this battle without fighting!"
Xiao Letian laughed happily, "That's right, that's right! Unifying China is just the first step in our plan. In fact, our ultimate goal is to dump our Chinese products all over the world!"
"There is no point in just making money from your own people. Only by making money from the whole world can our people be happy!"
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down! Let's cross the river by feeling the stones together!"
Xiang Ying really realized it. At this moment, he had an extremely mysterious feeling, as if the whole world had become transparent in his mind.
Even the Paris in front of you becomes as clear as reading a text on the palm of your hand!
Xiao Letian watched his disciple's transformation with joy, "How do you feel when you see this civil war in France now?"
Xiang Ying sneered and said, "France is going to be finished! According to your theory, master, this country is on the verge of collapse. France will definitely not be the world leader in the future!"
"In the final analysis, France is an old empire like Britain. Their industrialization process was the earliest and the first to be successful!"
"What is the situation in France now? Domestic productivity is actually relatively excessive, and the goods produced by all their factories cannot be absorbed by their own country..."
"But the external expansion encountered obstacles from the United Kingdom, so France's evil fire with strong productivity was forced to run everywhere!"
"Why is loan sharking prevalent in France? In the final analysis, there is too much money and no place to invest! The original industries are oversupplied and there is no new dumping market..."
"Under this social background, imperial ideas will definitely become popular, especially among the military and hawks. Even big capitalists will support this idea!"
"Because this is the only way to solve overcapacity. We can only survive by relying on the empire model to expand!"
"But France was in a very difficult situation. It encountered challenges from Prussia externally and constraints from leftist forces internally... This is why this earth-shaking defeat happened!"
"I can imagine how much those royalists would hate Germany and us Chinese, including the commune left forces..."
"They can't afford to offend us, so this evil fire can only be vented on the commune..."
"Coupled with the complex relationships of your previous military aristocratic system, master, this conflict has become even more bloody!"
"It's over. The people of the Paris Commune are completely over! None of them can survive..."
