Chapter 11079: Hitler's Lecture at the Imperial University of Paris

“…… In recent decades, a question has arisen in European intellectual circles: why did Europe decline to the point it is today? Why do so many young people worship China and want to go to China? The answer is simple, this is because China is strong and the West is weak; This is because China is advanced and the West is backward.

When many young people go to China, they are full of enthusiasm in their hearts, and they want to learn about China's advanced science and thought, and then seek ways to save the European world and Western civilization.

But China's strength and richness soon burned their hearts, and day after day of torture, many were disappointed, succumbed, threw in the towel, and betrayed Europe.

They don't see the light of the future, they don't see the hope of the future. China is too strong.

So much so that many people in society have seen the immigration fever, and being able to immigrate to China, and even to the Eastern world, can be envied by countless people around them.

Many people say that this is a manifestation of the loss of national self-confidence of the European nation, and that the current Europeans have forgotten that they also once had a glorious culture and created a powerful civilization, and they are arrogant and cannot muster up the courage to fight against that giant China, so the first priority of our contemporary era is to restore the self-confidence of the European nation.

There are also some people who say that this is because the European people have committed too many sins in the past, and they have not yet been redeemed by God. The European nation needs atonement and deep introspection.

Those who spend their days immersed in the ephemeral splendor of the Voyage of Discovery are the sins of Europe, and do not become mad at the first moment. The European nation should reflect bitterly and understand the deep sin in itself.

During the 300-year Age of Discovery, tens of millions of Native Americans, African Aborigines, and Asian Aborigines died at the hands of Europeans. Europe cannot be redeemed for a day if the sins of the sea cannot be washed away. For the revival of Europe, we must first atone for our sins. If you want to atone for your sins, the first thing you need is introspection, deep introspection.

I don't believe in the latter statement, the world is material, not spiritual.

Three hundred years of the Great Voyage was a glorious one to be remembered by the whole of Europe.

Compared with the entire history of mankind, the glory of the Age of Discovery for 300 years is not short. So, Europeans don't need to be disgraced by their ancestors.

But the three hundred years of the Great Voyage are the last three hundred years, and they are already in the past tense. No matter how strong the glory is, it can't penetrate time, and when it shines until now, all they can give us is a kind of courage. What we really need to face is the harsh reality.

I think the most important thing is hard work. Knowing that we are inferior to others and that we have fallen into today's backward position, we must redouble our efforts and seek great progress. And we need to work hard, we need to be ashamed and courageous, that is, we must have the confidence to catch up with and surpass China.

China is very strong now, this is not terrible, China has always been strong in human history, but if it is as strong as China, it will not be caught up by us in the era of great navigation?

Three hundred years ago, if His Excellency Sandy, the Spanish governor in the Philippines, had really received the support of the Spanish king to wage a colonial war against China itself, what would it have been?

Maybe the Spaniards would end badly, because they only had 4,000 to 6,000 people, because China still had a lot of power at that time. But at the beginning of the war, His Excellency Sandy would inevitably teach China a hard lesson, letting them know how powerful Europe is.

The Chinese created the peak of wealth in classical society during the Northern Song Dynasty, and at that time, the European aristocracy did not necessarily have a better life than the soldiers guarding the gate under Kaifeng. China's wealth is as unimaginable as the powerful side of China is today.

But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the development of the European world undoubtedly caught up with China and surpassed them. Both in terms of strength and wealth.

This is a conclusion that has been confirmed by countless sources, and even the Chinese admit it.

The 300 years of glory of the Age of Discovery will always be a monument in European history and worthy of the memory of all Europeans.

We've lagged behind, we've caught up and overtaken. Now that we are lagging behind China again, will we be able to catch up with and surpass this powerful China again?

I'm confident.

We don't need to care about the past, it's all meaningless. Is the ancient Chinese civilization and the ancient European civilization and culture each with its own characteristics, or is there a distinction between superior and inferior? Let this question be compared and studied by those who study ancient cultural history, and we don't need to discuss it or worry about it. The results came out, and Wan Er smiled.

As a result, nothing will change, China's civilization and culture will still be the same, and Europe's civilization and culture will also be the same.

Although some Europeans now believe in Taoism and Buddhism, the vast majority of Europeans still believe in God.

We just need to remember what we want to achieve and what we want to pursue.

I would like to say a few more words here, so that you don't have to worry that one day the whole of Europe will be sinicized, inside and out. Europe is not Japan, Japan is like the English of Europe, although it has some traditions of its own nation, but as an island country, it is inevitable to be swallowed up by the culture of the mainland.

Isn't Japanese bushido the same as British Protestantism?

The strait cannot isolate the communication between the island country and the mainland, and the civilization that can be born from an island country is inevitably not the opponent of the mainland civilization. Therefore, Japan and China, Britain and God, this is the inevitable result of the evolution and development of civilization.

But Europe is not Japan, although the progress of science and technology has narrowed the distance between the whole earth, but the civilization of the Western world is also brilliant and developed, it is not the ignorant civilization of the tribal alliance era, which was swallowed up by Chinese culture without any backhand. It is a profound heritage that blocks the erosion of Chinese culture.

So you don't need to worry about Europe being really fully sinicized one day.

Let's skip this topic, let's get back to business, or let's discuss how to rejuvenate Europe, how to make Europe rich and strong, and how to make Europe stand side by side with China.

Every Chinese will say that they are a big country and an ancient country. The so-called big means the breadth of the place and the number of people; The so-called ancient means that there are four or five thousand years of culture;

The Chinese are very proud, and they also have reasons to be proud. The entire earth has a land area of 150 million square kilometers, and how much does the footprint of Chinese activities cover? Eighty-two million. It accounts for more than half of the Earth's total land area.

The remaining half also includes Antarctica, which cannot survive but covers an area of 14 million square kilometers, and black Africa where black people live in sub-Saharan Africa, and the rest of the land including North Africa is the national area of Europeans, the heavenly world, the Indian world, Japan, Siam and other countries.

This is a gap that will be difficult to bridge between us and China.

In the 40 years before the First World War, the Europeans had lost almost all the 'land' that had been carved out by the 300-year-old voyages.

In the more than 100 years since the First World War, the biggest reason why Europe has fallen behind in everything from economy to culture is not land.

If it was the original industrial economy, and the strength of the country was determined by the output of steel and coal, and the size of the population, then China may really continue to be on the head of Europe. Because in this regard, the gap between Europe and China is too big, too big.

But technology is advancing, and that gives us hope.

Twenty-five years after the end of the Third World War, the development and application of atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology, and biological engineering technologies is another major leap in the field of science and technology in the history of human civilization, following the revolution in steam technology and electric power technology.

The new scientific and technological revolution has greatly promoted the changes in the social, economic, political and cultural fields of mankind. The old pattern of social wealth has been broken, and the new one is still being formed, and this is our hope, and this is the hope of Europe.

At that time, our ancestors conquered most of the world in 300 years, not only catching up with China, but also surpassing China, far surpassing China. So now we use the fearless spirit of our ancestors in the Age of Discovery to work hard for 30 years, and then look at it?

We will not forget the glory of our ancestors, and we have nothing to hide from the facts in front of us, and there is no contradiction between the glory of the past and the depravity of the present. Nor did God ordainate that the rich man should be rich forever.

I like that old Chinese saying very much, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?

This is not only a manifestation of China's nature and culture, but also a portrayal of human society's 'survival of the fittest'.

The competition between people, the competition between countries, the law of the jungle.

We are now backward and weak. It's not a time to be a bad luck, weak is weak, no but, no but. Because weakness is the greatest original sin in the world.

I am very disgusted by two things, one is that there are no sincere comparisons; Second, there is no sincere effort.

What is a comparison without sincerity?

Because he has a kind of 'pride' mentality, proud to the point of self-deception. Like modern medicine. Today's modern medicine has become more and more dependent on modern science and technology. The Chinese say that the origin of modern medicine lies in the birth of modern chemistry. And many Europeans think that modern chemistry was born in Europe, so modern medicine was born in Europe. In this way, he ignores the ignorance of ancient Europe in medical treatment, discriminates against Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, and then ridicules the ignorance and ignorance of ancient Chinese people, which further proves the civilization and nobility of ancient Europe.

What a ridiculous thing to do.

Obviously, one thing is far inferior to others, and he prefers to 'say' how good he is.

Such insincere comparisons are not only a waste of time and lives, but also have a very bad impact on European society as a whole.

I dare say that this influence is a stumbling block to the re-emergence of our Europe in the new era.

It will be like an invisible cloud of smoke that will overshadow our hearts. Let us not see the real beauty and disadvantage, like a haha mirror, look at ourselves even though they are smelly and fragrant, and look at others as beautiful and ugly.

I think that if we can't completely sweep away this mentality, even if we can become heroes for a while, we won't be able to become heroes for that life.

We must make up our minds to get rid of all incorrigible warts.

God is not concerned with maintaining what already exists, but rather about nurturing new life so that the race can continue, and the same is true of human life. We must not ignore the current shortcomings, which must not be overlooked, and we should immediately identify a perfect way to develop for the future.

This will allow the strength of the indomitable that the whole of Europe is working hard to move forward at a faster pace.

When I lived and struggled in Vienna, I observed very clearly how many mistakes can be made in the development of society. We should get rid of the errors in the organization of economic and cultural life, which are enough to degenerate individuals and nations.

What does the glory of our ancestors have to do with us! The glory of our ancestors cannot wash away our shame today, our shame, our shame but buries the glory of our ancestors!

Therefore, what we need to do is not to give up on ourselves and not to make up for our shortcomings, but to eradicate the cancer in our thinking and pursue the ultimate ideal.

It is inevitable that there will be all kinds of practical obstacles to this ideal. Therefore, we human beings have done our best to achieve the final goal together.

We must not give up our original purpose because of a momentary failure; This is just as we should not say that the law can be repealed because there is some flaw in the law; Because illness is inevitable, medicine is useless. Human beings are ideally powered, so don't take them too lightly!"
