As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, a sneer came from the crowd.
"Lord Fang, are you being too cautious? As for the small country of Fekar, I will win as long as I show my strength."
"Right now, our country's fighting spirit is strong. Why are we afraid of what he will do? When facing civilization, we naturally treat each other with courtesy, but when facing barbarians... Whoever has a strong fist is justified. Isn't this wrong?"
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately warmly welcomed by some people.
Originally, the news of the garrison in Fika spread to the court, and the military attache was very encouraging.
They all clamored to have the garrison arrive to increase pressure and further control Feka.
Even the civil servants didn't say much. Fang Zheng jumped out and poured cold water on him, which caused some dissatisfaction.
Fang Zheng glanced around the hall and said, "I understand everyone's thoughts, but I don't want to pour cold water on everyone."
"A big fist is indeed the last word, and strength is the basis of everything. But in the end, this is just correct nonsense, and we must not use nonsense to guide future actions."
"Every battle can be won by relying on force, but it is far from enough to win strategic victory."
Fang Zheng sighed inwardly.
The Fika garrison is indeed very powerful at the moment, and it seems that the powerful thermal weapons have given the opponent quite a shock.
Before even exerting any force, the other party knelt down first.
At present, the fighting spirit in the court is strong, but as a powerful person, the more this happens, the more restraint must be exercised.
Violence is the simplest and most efficient method, but it is also the least clever method. Every beast in nature follows this principle.
As a half-bandit leader, he knew very well that violence could not last forever.
On the other hand, he has to consider the situation itself... The current firearms are beyond the times, and the hidden dangers they will bring in the future must be guarded against.
In the last generation, many countries have entered the stage of modernization. Many black men in Africa were still living in the tropics and using PHS.
It’s not that black guys are stupid, or that knowledge can’t flow there.
Rather, a large part of the reason comes from the curse of resources. A naturally blessed land is filled with treasures, so that there is a lack of motivation for development.
Coupled with the wave of aid from many countries, there is no doubt that the enthusiasm for development has once again been dampened.
Since I can get food by lying down, why should I kneel down to earn money?
This hat of poverty cannot be removed.
However, although it is fun to lie down and beg for food, any great civilization in the world has grown and grown through a long-term struggle with nature.
And today's great scene, because of his arrival, has led to the early emergence of practical and powerful firearms.
Firearms are so useful that addiction to them is a high possibility.
There is no doubt that this may become an intellectual curse in the future.
A simple thinking pattern will replace a complex thinking pattern.
Using force to solve problems simply and roughly replaces solving problems with wisdom to a considerable extent. This is obviously not a long-term solution.
The lessons from the past are not far away. The famous iron-blooded prime minister of a certain country behaved in this way.
He was never afraid to use cold attitudes and tough methods to solve problems violently. This thought and code of conduct left a valuable political legacy to the country's future generations.
It's hard to say whether this kind of thinking didn't play a role in those two devastating wars.
Another major hidden danger lies in the private sector.
The attitude in the court is like this, and the large-scale spread of the news to the people will obviously cause a new round of fanatical attitudes.
Groups are always longing for power. They like heroes and advocate violence, and they can even completely ignore the fact that they are likely to be victims of violent conflicts.
In a powerful country, just firing off artillery can scare the opponent to the ground. It is inevitable that the national mood will rise, and it will even far exceed the performance of the officials in the court.
What the Great Scenery needs is sensible citizens with grace and pride, not a group of arrogant war lunatics.
When this emotion is taken to the extreme, it will definitely overwhelm the court, so that if you want to change it in the end, you will need to bear huge pressure and use great courage to reverse it.
"Master Fang, don't forget, since every war can be won, strategic victory is inevitable." Someone said dissatisfied.
Fang Zheng replied forcefully: "What a big mistake! What we want to pursue are actual interests. Don't forget how far the west is from our grand vision!"
“It’s difficult to manage the Tu people on the border, and it’s even more difficult to manage a country thousands of miles away, with a culture that is vastly different from ours.”
"After all, we are doing business, and the prerequisite for successfully reaping benefits is to maintain good partners."
"And to tell you the truth, although our Dajing is powerful in terms of force, the weak are not without countermeasures, and their weapons are no less powerful than spears and cannons!"
"A weak person will not have the courage to resist the strong, and he will not have the strength to defeat the strong. What can they do? They can not cooperate, fish in troubled waters, obey on the surface, and spread rumors and sabotage in private."
"These silent resistances, gathered by millions of people, are enough to drag Dajing into the quagmire. Overseas business will not be able to move forward, or even suffer heavy losses."
"Throughout the ages, many prosperous empires have fallen here. The ancestors had no time to mourn for themselves, and the descendants mourned them, and the descendants mourned without taking any notice of it, which also made the descendants mourn the descendants again."
Fang Zheng copied a sentence of the text skillfully, and somehow he remembered Fang Chenyu.
He gritted his teeth for a moment.
This bastard! Ask him to make a book of wrong questions. He has made a book of wrong questions and never opened it!
Just like him back then...
Emperor Jing and his ministers listened carefully.
Fang Zheng came to his senses, cheered up and said, "Besides, if we put further pressure on Feika, there will be another harm."
"The Western countries are originally under the rule of the church. Although the church is greedy and unpopular, it is still stronger than a strange eastern country. If we show strong strength and attitude in Feka, there will no doubt be the instinctive closeness of the other party. Unite."
"The combination of these two factors will cause a serious blow to our overseas interests."
"So I suggest that the imperial court should send a letter to Fika. The two countries should become friendly countries. They should neither be tough nor weak, but should show equality. Fika is stationing troops for our country, and we should naturally have a great future. He said that this is the best policy. Seeing this, other countries will definitely be willing to get close to our great scene, at least they will not be hostile."
"After the situation stabilizes, we will spread the concepts, ideas, and image of our Dajing overseas. Let the people of the world know our Dajing's benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. This is also in line with the teachings of saints."
"If not...benevolence and righteousness are not applied, but the offensive and defensive momentum will be different!"
