Those who do not plan for eternity cannot plan for a moment! The bearded man and the second fiddler firmly believe that Xiao Letian is a politician who can plan for the future!
People in this era have many complicated views on Xiao Letian. Some say that he is a staunch nationalist, but others say that he is not purely nationalistic, but has a hint of Prussian hegemony thinking.
Some people say that he was Cao Cao who conspired to usurp the Han Dynasty, but Xiao Letian single-handedly overthrew the Chinese monarchy and chose the democratic federal parliamentary system.
But do you think he must be a staunch democratic republican? He also retained the nobility as a special class in his own system, and the privileges he granted were not low.
You can call him a warlord, after all, he has been fighting wars almost every year during the years since his rise!
But you can't accuse him of being militaristic, because the total size of the Chinese navy and army does not exceed 100,000, and the main investment in the national economy is still in infrastructure and industrialization.
This was an extremely complex politician. Judging from the Franco-Prussian War alone, he fought firmly against Prussia on the one hand, and on the other hand, he continued to sell well to the citizens of Paris.
They even set up the Peace Hotel at the Porte de Chapelle, which saved the lives of more than 10,000 French civilians during the civil war!
Until now, no one in the entire world can understand who Xiao Letian is, what doctrines and values does he believe in?
There is no answer, no one can guess what he will do next!
For example, when he made trouble in the Qing Dynasty, some people speculated that he wanted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Some people also speculated that he just wanted to be a minor prince under the Qing Dynasty system. Some people even scolded him for refusing to stand up to kill the Han people. Light Tatars!
This Xiao Letian has always maintained a distant relationship with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. He would fight, talk and even take the Manchu Emperor to visit abroad!
What on earth does he want to do? No one knows it, but the changes before our eyes are real!
The Chinese race quietly changed little by little in his hands, and actually rose up like this, and the process of rising didn't even involve much bloodshed!
This is simply unbelievable. Bismarck has repeatedly withdrawn from the show. If it were thrown into the same position as Xiao Letian and brought the poor and poor Ryukyu Chinese to immigrate to found the country, it might be successful.
But there will never be an achievement like Xiao Letian's, let alone such a small number of people dying!
It can be said that the rise of the Chinese ethnic group is really a miracle in history. Xiao Letian has almost stepped on every step correctly!
It's not just the politicians who are studying Xiao Letian, private masters like Big Beard are also constantly analyzing and searching for information about him everywhere.
The more I study, the more I feel that Xiao Letian is unfathomable. His exaggerated appearance hides his very calm strategic determination. Xiao Letian never makes strategic mistakes in governing the country.
Even if it is a tactical error, it is very small and can be made up for quickly. Just like the British encirclement and suppression this time, in fact, as long as Xiao Letian can solve the gold problem, it will not be difficult to pass!
Such a powerful person came to Europe and was somewhat friendly to the proletariat. If such a person was let go in vain, wouldn't it mean that he would return in vain?
Xiao Letian was forced to do nothing by the earnest eyes. He took a sip of whiskey, sorting out his thoughts and cheering himself up.
Do you want to tell the truth or not? Do you want to reveal some things that happened in history? Is it okay to change the historical process so obviously?
After drinking half the glass of whiskey, the bearded man and the second fiddler waited quietly!
Xiao Letian sighed, "After all, you two have been a life-saving grace. You have to repay this favor at the risk of reporting the letter..."
"I can't stay in Europe for too long. After solving the current predicament, I will return to China soon... I estimate that unless you two come to Asia, it will be difficult for us to meet again!"
"Okay, I'm just going to say it, so just listen to it!"
The bearded man and his close friend immediately sat up straight on the sofa, staring closely at Xiao Letian behind the desk.
“You two are much better at studying social issues than I am, so I’ll just pick out the simplest points… First of all, I must admit that the purpose of the proletarian workers’ movement is just and irreversible… …”
"Everyone has the right to live and the pursuit of happiness. If the value created by workers does not match what they get, and this gap has become unbearable, then struggle is inevitable!"
"What happened in France has proven that any suppression is ineffective! The labor movement cannot be suppressed by massacre!"
"Because a very important point is that workers and capitalists are two sides of the same coin and are symbiotic!"
“It’s not a matter of who depends on whom, but if you want to form capitalism, these two classes will definitely emerge... because any capitalist needs workers to work in order to keep the factory running and continue to make money!”
“And all workers also need organizers to provide them with jobs!”
"Who is the evil one? The capitalist sends the army and kills all the workers? Then his factory will be finished. No one will run the machine. What money do they want to make?"
"This time I conducted a statistics at the Peace Hotel. After the Civil War in Paris, France's industrial scale will definitely enter a period of decline. It is estimated that it will not recover in ten or twenty years!"
"Why? Because more than half of the mature and skilled blue-collar workers have been slaughtered, and there is no one left to operate the machines in French factories!"
After listening to Xiao Letian's words, the expressions of the two bearded men improved a lot. They did not expect that the head of state actually supported the proletarian movement.
But when Xiao Letian saw their expressions change, his tone became much colder!
"But... I just said that the purpose of your labor movement is just, but that does not mean that your actions are just!"
"The destructive power you unleashed during the Paris Commune movement was also terrifying. The entire movement was completely disordered and full of violence!"
"Please don't interrupt me...and don't explain to me...because I'm not here to argue with you two. I'm just throwing out my judgment and my analysis of the future, for your reference only!"
"I'm not here to tell you what's right from wrong! Remember, please don't waste your time convincing me, because convincing me won't change your career!"
"The Paris Commune movement was the first large-scale practice of the proletarian workers' movement advocated by you! And the problem exposed in this practice is very acute, that is, violence!"
"You desperately need a new world, so you won't hesitate to smash an old world. This kind of violence can help you succeed, but it can also help you fail!"
"Do you want to hear my prophecy?"
"Okay, I won't be too pretentious, let me tell you this... The industrial revolution will continue, and mankind's dependence on industrial civilization will become stronger and stronger!"
"The more developed the industry is, the more workers will be gathered together, and your power will become stronger and stronger!"
"Capitalism can suppress you now, but maybe sixty or seventy years from now, you will be powerful enough to suppress the capitalists in turn!"
"Aren't you two very happy to hear my prediction? Let me say something more happy. When the time comes, the proletariat will try to form its own country and establish a real political power!"
"But! Don't be too happy...the enemy's counterattacks will become more and more fierce and cunning..."
"And what's your biggest weakness in all your sports? It's that you're too violent and too fierce!"
"The Chinese say that toughness is easy to break! This is what they say... What you are relying on is a group of hostility in the hearts of the entire working class and a continuous revolutionary struggle. To put it bluntly, it is driven by hatred!"
"But remember, anger can hurt the enemy as well as yourself..."
"A hundred years from now, maybe the regime you formed... will be divided by your own hostility and the instigation of enemies from outside..."
"And falling apart!"
Hiss... The bearded man and the second fiddler took a breath of air, "Have you discovered this hidden danger too? It's true, we also have such hidden worries..."
"Isn't there a solution?"
Xiao Letian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Yes!"
