"What are you afraid of!" Just when the atmosphere was at its dullest, Lin Zhen, the gunner of the Zhiyuan who had been listening, spoke up!
"Head-in-Chief, you have a bodhisattva heart. You always want to complete the change of the times without dying. How is that possible?"
"How many sailors and captains died on the oceans and the New World during the European Age of Discovery? How many farmers died in the British enclosure during the Industrial Revolution?"
"Then the earliest immigrants in the United States all went to travel and enjoy themselves? Aren't they unable to survive?"
"Why are there so many Irish immigrants in the United States? The British are starving to death on the entire island. It's really impossible not to leave!"
"Whose family can live a good life without suffering? Why should we be spared?"
"We didn't lie to anyone. We confessed clearly and told us exactly how much money we could make and what kind of life we could live in the Special Administrative Region!"
"The opportunity to change their destiny is right in front of them, they can choose it themselves!"
"Who is to blame if you insist on following the old path and end up having a hard time living? Those who dare not seize opportunities to make a fortune will end up like that in this life..."
His words were rough or not, Lin Zhen's words were just like the barrel of a cannon on the Zhiyuan, without leaving a trace of emotion!
Xiao Letian smiled, "Although this is the truth, we really have nothing to do. Facing the stubborn and conservative human nature, all the power of words is pale!"
"But we cannot give up on the people because they are short-sighted and stubborn. This is not how governance works! We must accept this reality. The people's thoughts are mixed, and the ideas in their minds are also different!"
"If they don't comply with our policies, will we let them fend for themselves? If they have any objections, they will violently suppress them? Then what's the difference between us and the Manchu and Qing Tatars who entered the customs back then?"
"If I want to choose such a simple path, why bother with any fortress plan? I'll just do what I did in the past, capture cities and territories, and kill every city and county!"
"You! It seems that you are destined to fight in the army for the rest of your life!"
Lin Zhen scratched his head and said with a smile, "I never thought about being versatile in both civil and military affairs. That is Xiang Ying's ideal... Anyway, what I mean is that if we explain the truth clearly, it will be enough to handle things with the utmost benevolence and justice!"
"We don't lie to the people, nor do we bully the people... But they just don't want to choose, and there's nothing we can do!"
"In the final analysis, we cannot stop eating because of choking. The key issue is that even if we refuse to change, Europa will change every day!"
"We are afraid of the pain of change, but people are in pain every day! It is precisely because of pain and suffering every day that people are making progress every day!"
"The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and one day it will reach a point where we can't catch up even if we want to. If that happens, there will be no regrets!"
Xiao Letian laughed loudly, "Yes, it's easier if you think more simply! In today's world, we can't be saints just because we want to be saints. The key is that there are a group of ferocious beasts outside. If you don't be cruel to yourself, the enemy will eventually I’ll treat you harder!”
"The fortress plan of our Chinese people will indeed tip the balance and make some people become the eliminated ones of the times, but after all, this is our own internal competition and internal elimination!"
"No matter how cruel we are, there is still some love of blood! If we become weaker and weaker, and eventually attract alien beasts, they will not show mercy!"
"Those people will kill us in a sea of corpses, rob us of thousands of years of wealth, and then force all of us to be slaves!"
"Which is the lesser of two evils! Our ancestors will not lie to us!"
"Send a telegram to Beijing and ask them to dig in and spend more money to create a technological explosion for our Chinese people! Start with the oil industry and give me a breakthrough!"
A little complaint on the way to Brunei is destined to be a small episode. Xiao Letian will not give up the plan he has made because of the kindness of a woman!
On the contrary, he also wants to speed up the process of plundering wealth from within the Qing Dynasty, because many of the projects in his hands are gold-eating monsters!
Xiao Letian was welcomed by Borneo Chinese government officials and the entire city's military and civilians in Brunei Bay. The head of state has long been a myth among the Chinese, especially with the aura of victory in the European War, which made his reputation soaring. .
Two hundred thousand people in the city took to the streets, and all industrial and commercial activities came to a standstill. Xiao Letian made a simple speech at the pier, and then a thousand veterans who had participated in the European War held a simple military parade!
These 1,000 veterans just walked around the city a few times and showed off their military prowess along the streets, and they had already made 200,000 soldiers and civilians completely crazy!
With the protection of the army, they feel safe. The people of Borneo will never forget the atrocities of burning, killing and looting committed by the Tsarist Russian army here!
The head of state's army was an iron army that had defeated many Western powers such as Tsarist Russia, France, Austria, and Spain!
Such iron troops need to show up more. Only when people's hearts are stable can they have more motivation to develop and create more wealth!
While the army was reviewing the military parade, Xiao Letian quietly left the city with his senior officials and rode a carriage to the southwest for about 20 kilometers before he saw an area protected by a continuous high wall!
The red brick wall was three meters high and covered with barbed wire. A trench more than two meters wide was dug outside the wall. Lookout wooden towers stood every 100 meters, with figures swaying above them.
After the carriage drove into the main gate, they found that the defense inside was even tighter, with well-proportioned private houses and spacious factories connected by cement roads.
The soldiers leading the wolf dogs were vigilantly paying attention to all unknown dangers. After seeing the Führer's carriage, they immediately stood up and saluted. Even the military dogs stood obediently on the roadside.
Huang Wanxia and the head of state were sitting in a car. He opened the curtain of the glass window and pointed into the distance, "A total of 700 hectares of land are enclosed by the wall. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"
"Führer, please look over there...the No. 16 oil well...that is the highest quality oil well we have ever found!"
"The others are all useless!"
Brunei Oilfield is the richest oilfield in Asia in Xiao Letian's memory. The oil produced here is not only of high quality but also not difficult to extract!
During World War II, Japan searched for oil fields across Asia but failed to find them. At that time, it seemed as if all China's oil had been hidden by ancestors and gods.
No matter how much the Japanese exhausted their resources to search, they could not find any trace of it!
Japan was forced to attack the Brunei Oilfield, which was the best oil field in Asia at the time!
The oil here is buried very shallowly and can be easily found with early oil exploration technology, and the reserves are not low. After World War II, European and American geologists speculated that the oil here still has 1.5 billion barrels of reserves!
This is the remaining reserve after the crazy exploitation during World War II. The oil reserves in the entire Brunei oil field will definitely not be less than 2 billion barrels!
Enough, really enough! As long as we hold on to this oil field, it will be enough for the Chinese to survive until the breakthrough of the third industrial revolution!
Note: Brothers, vote for recommendation! The competition is so fierce and the ranking is falling!
Jianghu comes to the rescue, we Yinlong have not so many book friends, right? Stop gaining weight and keep reading!
