"But why did they hesitate? Why!" Xiao Letian was heartbroken!
"It still didn't work. I still didn't rush to the last hurdle. Why can't I let go of my ego at the end? The only difference between politicians and real politicians is this layer of window paper!"
"I can't teach you this kind of thing. They can only rely on them to realize it on their own!"
Xiao Letian was really a little emotional today. Many years later, when Xiang Ying retired, he wrote about this top-secret history in his memoirs.
"The master at that time actually didn't care about the so-called attempted economic strangulation war. What he was sad about was that the progress of his subordinates completely failed to meet his expectations!"
"The master is so advanced that it is difficult for ordinary people to catch up with his ideas. At that time, I thought I could hear the key key from the master's mouth, and I thought I had found the direction..."
"But I was wrong. During the subsequent series of chaos, I clearly realized that the answers I heard were of no use at all. The truth must be understood by myself!"
"What you see on paper is shallow, but you realize that you have to do it yourself!"
In his later years, Xiang Ying was suffering from many illnesses. He leaned on the couch and looked out the window at the blue sea water and white sandy beach. Of course, he was powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, as long as his master's name was mentioned, there would always be a look deep in his eyes. Revealing deep fear and self-blame.
"I was still young at that time. I heard from my master what the last layer of window paper was. I thought I had found the final answer, so I kept working hard to make myself more like that ideal!"
"Actually, I was wrong. Looks are always looks, not no! When it comes to making major historical decisions, it doesn't matter what you look like. The truth in your heart will definitely be exposed!"
"I was wrong...this may be the biggest failure of my life!"
Xiang Ying's realization came in his old age. It was only after experiencing the prosperity of life that he could return to his original nature and see the truth clearly.
It was at that time that he understood the master's painstaking efforts!
"What is the difference between a statesman and a politician? I think what the master is trying to tell me is that politicians focus on skills and rituals, including eloquence and secret dealings..."
"But politicians are not like this. Although they understand these political skills, they can still jump out of this level and look at the world from another angle!"
"Destroy your ego! If you want to become a true politician and see the truth of the world clearly, you should first get rid of your ego!"
“People can have self-obsession, but you can’t have it as a real politician!”
The common people can hate the British, the French, the Fuso people... That's because there have been countless conflicts, wars, and all kinds of hatred between the two sides in history!
Egoistic people cannot escape the control of emotions. Their hearts are always attached to themselves and then controlled by their emotions!
"Because you have invaded us and killed us in history, I must take revenge along an emotional path without any other compromise!"
"I will deny everything about you, whether you are good or bad. I will discredit your good points and magnify your bad points!"
"People who fall into such emotions always think that they are righteous, but is this really the case? If you glare at me, I will scold you. If you dare to scold me, I will slap you!"
"If you slap me, I will stab you... If you dare to stab me, I will kill you!"
"Most of the so-called just revenge is actually just amplification of hatred, because when you are emotional, you will definitely double your revenge. This is the biggest difference between ordinary people and politicians!"
Xiang Ying put down his cigarette and said to the stenographer who recorded his memoirs, "Look carefully at your life and see if most of the people around you are like this!"
"Revenge must be doubled to be satisfied. Isn't this the choice of countless people?"
"The Manchu and Qing Tatars killed millions of our Han people. How can we destroy one of their ethnic groups and let them all disappear? Fusang dares to offend our Chinese tiger power, then let this small island country be completely destroyed!"
"Europe and the United States dare to colonize China, then they will take crazy revenge by massacring the United States and destroying Japan!"
"Haha... It's really fun to think about it. In fact, I was like this when I was young, so I planned the assassination of Emperor Tongzhi and almost ruined the master's overall plan!"
"But I want to tell you and tell all future generations...Such emotions are taboo and are the biggest inner demons for ordinary people when they are promoted to politicians or even politicians!"
"If you can't get rid of such inner demons, then you can never enter the master's spiritual world, and you will never be able to become a great philosopher who leads mankind forward!"
"If China has used genocide to resolve conflicts and contradictions for thousands of years, where did the concept of Chinese come from?"
"You must know that the Chinese are greater than the Han people!"
Xiang Ying spent his whole life exploring, but until he was almost done with his life in his twilight years, he could only say that he had learned 30% of the essence of his master.
After Xiang Ying completed his memoirs, he died of illness on the west coast of Australia. After his death, he was not buried back home or even buried in the Ryukyu War Temple.
Maybe this is a punishment for his mistakes in his life, a kind of self-exile!
Xiao Letian finally calmed down after venting his emotions. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I was impatient. I thought I could change everything, but the inertia of life is so huge. In which era did they grow up? What they have experienced What I’ve been through is unimaginable!”
"Even if we can't break through, we can be forgiven... Xiang Ying, go to the next port and send a report to Ryukyu urgently!"
"Tell them that they did a good job in this attempted financial strangulation battle, and especially praise Sakamoto Ryoma for his decisiveness! Others are also worthy of credit for being able to stabilize the situation!"
"Finally, I have a question. This sentence can be spread to the business community... I just want to ask... do you regard ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty as your family?"
"Just this sentence, let them torture their own consciences!"
After saying that, Xiao Letian pushed the railing with both hands, turned around and walked towards the cabin, "Open a bottle of good wine, order some good food... Just do your best and obey fate! If God doesn't reward me with a good heir, what can I do..."
This was really a slap in the face. Xiang Ying blushed and felt thick after hearing this, but she couldn't refute it!
After all, what happened in Ryukyu is really shameless. Even if he tortured his heart, it would probably not be a good thing.
If Xiang Ying had been placed in Xiao Hexin's position as a left-behind minister, it is estimated that this kind of financial strangulation war would have started long ago!
Torturing yourself is the most touching thing to your soul, because you can't quibble with yourself. If you can really deceive your own soul, you will be either a madman or a saint!
"Master! You said that politicians must transcend hatred, transcend nation, transcend country..."
"Isn't the politician you want to be a god? Looking down from the sky on earth, watching the two countries fighting is just like what Zhuangzi said, the battle of the snail horns!"
"Perhaps in your eyes, a life-and-death battle between Prussia and France is nothing more than a conflict between two countries on the tentacles of a snail..."
"Maybe you have such a state, but how many people in this world are mortal! They have seven emotions and six desires, and they also have pain and struggle!"
"Then, master, please explain to me, how should we deal with the enemy? How should we defeat the enemy? Is there really a magical skill in the world that can defeat the enemy without fighting?"
"How is this possible?"
