Family and Country Chapter 68 Do it
When a study door opened, the wind outside blew in, but Yang Rui suddenly sobered up, and when everyone was about to leave, he accidentally closed the door again, and then sneered: "Wait a minute, I'm confused." Now than more than a thousand years ago, the whole world is closely linked by trade, and the decline of Europe will inevitably implicate us. As far as the world is concerned, this is the Warring States Period, and since it is the Warring States Period, let's still act according to the plan discussed earlier -- try to prolong the time of the Warring States Period, and don't let the United States, Qin Shi Huang, come out so early, and even if it does, it will have to wait until we become stronger. β
Obviously, Yang Rui made a fuss, so he looked at everyone embarrassedly. He didn't want to mean it, but everyone, including Xu Huafeng, was stunned by the method of 'collecting seigniorage from the whole world' that he said. No one made fun of him, but Xu Huafeng, who was most in favor of industrialization, said: "Actually, if it is really the Warring States Period, then everyone will pray for peace and hate war." In fact, before the Qin State was strong, the idea of the unification of the world had already taken root in the nations, of course, at that time, people only saw that the great unification could avoid war, but they did not expect that after the great unification, the society under the rule of the empire was a pool of stagnant water......"
Xu Huafeng also talked about history, and Zhang Taiyan next to him added: "That's true. Before the rise of the Qin State, people of insight in various countries had reached a consensus that in order to eliminate the war, it was necessary to unify the world. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius hoped that the world would return to the feudal system and resume the Zhou rites; At the same time, Deng Xi believed that the feudal Zhou rites should be completely swept away and replaced by a new method to avoid war, in fact, the new method is great unification. It turned out that if the world was really a world of great contention, then ......"
"yes. We're running out for a little bit of time. If only it could be a hundred years, no. Even if it takes 50 years, it will be much better. Yang Rui thought about the era he lived in, and felt that it was still too late.
"Can you ...... then" Du Yaquan didn't think Yang Rui's oolong was funny, but he became extremely serious because of it, "Then can you beat the Americans?" It turned out to be a concern, but it was only the United States. In this case, can you destroy the United States before it grows stronger?! β
Du Yaquan was ruined by one sentence, Yang Rui instantly became dumbfounded, looking back at World War II a hundred years later, the United States is enough to challenge the world; After that, the United States is simply the world's policeman, how can this be matched?
Yang Rui is like this, but Du Yaquan didn't notice the phobia of beauty in his bones. Again: "We are inferior to the United States in the competition industry, but if the hybrid bomb can be developed on time, I am afraid that we can completely defeat the United States, right?" He looked at Yang Rui very seriously, "It turned out, when it was decided, it was broken, and it was constantly chaotic; The ancients also said: Heaven and Buddha take it, but suffer from it; When it doesn't work, it suffers. It is both a Warring States. That self-deed seized every opportunity to kill the enemy country, and was thirsty for killing. There's nothing wrong with that. β
If Yang Rui was stunned just now, then the hairs on his whole body stood up at this time. Destroy the Lighthouse Nation, this! This! This! I would rather destroy China, and I would rather 50,000 Chinese die and become extinct, than hurt a cold hair of the country of hope! If not, countless cents will take over the Space-Time Authority, and then send killers to strangle themselves - to move Mei Daddy is to move their ancestors! How does this work?! Daddy is gone. Aren't the cents, the Westernizers, and the Virgin White Left going to be orphaned altogether?
-- In terms of civilization, when civilization is in decline, toxins are produced, and Our Lady, democracy, individualism, and pacifism are the best among them, while the cruelty and bloodshed that contribute to the survival of the race are denounced as brutality and fascism. Yang Rui is from later generations. Naturally, his whole body was covered with the toxins of the decline of Western civilization, and under the immersion of education and countless media day and night, he was already half-useless, so he was scorched by Du Yaquan's 'amazing words'.
He didn't speak, and Du Yaquan, who didn't know that he was originally a poisoned person, glanced at a few other people, and then said: "The trajectory of the development of civilization is like this, and it is actually said just now that before the decline of Western civilization, the whole world will be buried for it, so the world will definitely be unified in the future." Since it will be unified, whether the Chinese civilization can continue is a big question. Our cultural classics, written language, will be wiped out by the West in the great unification. If that's the case, why not strike first? β
"Hybrid bombs may not be developed in ten years, and even if they are made, how many will they need to destroy the United States? Didn't you say that it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars? Wang Jitong finally spoke, and he didn't object to it.
"In terms of industry, the more mature the technology, the lower the cost." Xu Huafeng interjected. "Hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars is just the price of the laboratory, and if it is really industrially produced, it should be able to drop to less than 10 million Chinese yuan, and 100 should be enough, right?"
"You ......" Yang Rui saw that the conversation was getting more and more outrageous, and said with shaking teeth: "Is this too ... Too... Too frustrating? β
"Actually, since we can build a hybrid bomb, once the United States understands the joints, it will also build it, and it will build more than 10 times more than us. We're going to use one on them, and they're going to take revenge on ten. Xu Hua sealed. This is not the time for a woman's kindness. Regardless of whether it is a cold war or a hot war, the result is the unification of the whole world, and then the same books and cars are on the same track, until this round of civilization dies. β
After he finished speaking, Xie Zhangtai said: "Actually, to be honest, white people don't treat Chinese people as human beings at all, when my father and I were in Australia, white people were so fierce that they were miserable." If we really have to decide, if white people can slaughter the Chinese, why can't we destroy the United States? β
"There are really not many good foreigners." Zhang Taiyan nodded, "But after fighting the European war, they have only become better." But this is like a robber, when he is old and weak, when he can't kill others and will be killed, he will be full of peace and humanity. β
"If you don't do it, you can't destroy it." Du Yaquan said again, "Actually, can the naval planes on the aircraft carrier drop mixed bombs to the states of the United States?" β
"Airplanes can, but they don't have enough range, unless they take off from South America or some small island in the Americas." Wang Jitong, who took over the major laboratories again, said, "If the hybrid bomb can be made smaller, the rocket can be launched by a ship and pointed directly at the American continent." β
"Enough!" Yang Rui really couldn't listen to it anymore, he broke off and said, "The mixed yuan bullet hasn't been seen yet." Even if it does, it will kill and injure countless civilians, and if we kill someone else today, it is likely that someone else will kill us tomorrow. β
"Then kill them all!" Du Yaquan is surprisingly cruel today, "Assimilation and slaughter are no different. If we don't destroy the United States today, the United States will assimilate us in the future, and the outcome will be better than that of the Indians. Who will know our words then? Who reads the books of their ancestors again? Children and grandchildren will only spit foreign languages, only democracy and freedom, and will only be like what you said before - yellow skin and white heart, a banana ear!
In order to ensure the immortality of civilization, even if we think carefully, the Americans will not point fingers at us in the future? Won't you support a national thief like Sun Wen and build a completely Westernized comprador government? It's definitely possible! Those of us. In the future, we will be killed by the national thief Sun Wen, because we represent backwardness, and the national thief represents progress, and the people will not only not support us, but will stand on Sun Wen's side and hope that we will die early. Actually, do you really want this to be the end? β
"Of course I don't!" Yang Rui said loudly, "I want to remind you that it is precisely because of this that I decided to take the risk of a war against the United States alone. Find a way to get the United States into isolationism, find a way to prevent World War II from happening, so that the United States can be permanently isolated! β
"It's impossible! It's not that Qin wants to unify the world, it's that the world wants Qin to be unified. No matter how isolationist the United States is, it will regain Wilsonism, and it is even likely that it will regain Wilsonism because of the Sino-Japanese alliance. Du Yaquan also said loudly, "This is just like Zheng Guoqu is to Qin." Although it delayed the time for Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms, the result made Qin's national strength stronger; And look at it from the history of the West. Britain is Greece, Europe is the Latin League, and China is the Carthage of the ancient Roman period to the West, and the Romans will give preferential treatment to Greece and bind the Latin League, but they will slaughter and burn the pagan country Carthage......"
"Enough!!" Yang Rui looked at Du Yaquan, but Du Yaquan also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yang Rui turned his head resolutely and said, "I'm tired, please go back." β
"It's a ......" Du Yaquan still wanted to say ha, Wang Jitong pulled him back, and then a mermaid came out. Far away.
The next day, Yang Rui, who seemed to have forgotten everything yesterday, was laughing and chatting with Sir Eston, the British ambassador who was invited to the door, and after the politeness and politeness in front of him, Yang Rui waved away and said: "Sir, there were some things that were not easy to say yesterday, so I specially invited you to come today." β
"Yes. Yesterday was crazy......" Speaking of yesterday, Sir Eston wiped his sweat, and he was stuck in a crowd for three hours before returning to the embassy, "Your Excellency Duke, I have come today to listen to your opinion. β
"I don't have a high opinion." Yang Rui smiled, he was still a little uncomfortable with the title of duke, "I just want to tell your country some of our speculations about the future of Europe." Speaking of this, Yang Rui glanced at the British, and was very satisfied with his respect and solemnity, and he continued: "The economic crisis will be inevitable, and once the economic crisis occurs, the American economy and the European economy will be linked together because of the war debt reparations, so Germany will suffer the greatest losses except for the United States, and millions of workers will lose their jobs because of it, and the economic crisis will not be a year or two, but is likely to last for several years."
As a result, these unemployed workers would influence German politics in two ways: first, they would join the National Socialist Party, the same party that had launched the Munich uprising five years earlier; The second was to join the Bolsheviks. With Germany's current political system, whichever side they join will win the election. Sir, I think, on our common ground, everyone would think that the National Socialist Party is the best option, right? β
I didn't expect Yang Rui to ask himself, which surprised Eston who was listening to him a little, but the answer was undoubted, and he said with a smile: "Of course, everything that happened in Russia has proved that the Bolsheviks are a disease of human civilization, and they should not exist." β
"I think so, too." Yang Rui nodded half-truthfully, "China and Soviet Russia are friendly because the two countries have a ...... border, let's talk about Germany." As far as I know, the majority of the Socialist Party were nationalists, and they hated the Bolsheviks, the Jews, the French and the Poles. It was not a good thing for them to win the election in the midst of the economic crisis, because the National Socialist Party came to power to deliver on its promise of 'bread and work' like the Bolsheviks.
The Bolsheviks' approach was clear: confiscate the property of the propertied in the country and distribute it to the voters who supported their rise to power; The National Socialist Party, on the other hand, without confiscating the propertied people at home, could only wage wars to plunder abroad, such as the annexation of the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, and even France......"
"Oh God!" Aiston looked at Yang Rui. Seeing that he was extremely serious, he didn't even have to question it. He was now thinking about how to report the matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I know your country doesn't want to go to war, France seems to be strong, but they don't want war either. The National Socialists must know this, and they will make your country and France compromise under the slogan of anti-Bolshevik and anti-Semit, and your country and France will make concessions again and again. Until they finally attacked Belgium, just like in the last war. Yang Rui said, "Sir, I know that I am a bit alarmist when I say this, but history is developing in this direction, if we can't stand on the overall standpoint, then we seem to have made the choice with the least loss, but it is better to fight a war in advance with losses again and again." β
"Your Excellency......" It took a while for Eston to digest the message given by Yang Rui, and he said, "If we take the initiative to go to warβI don't think we and France will be able to convince Parliament to make the decision to go to war. And the start of the war is still a huge loss, and if Germany completely turns to the Bolsheviks, then the whole of Europe ......"
"It is better to start the war earlier than to start the war after Germany has rearmed." Yang Rui said, "Moreover, it is not necessary to go to war, since Germany has the National Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party representing the Bolsheviks, then let them fight each other." Due to the historical and religious relations in southern Germany, represented by Munich, it was difficult for the Bolsheviks to gain a foothold. But in places such as Hamburg in northern Germany, because of the development of industry and commerce. The Social Revolutionary Party grew rapidly. I think that the battle between the two factions, that is, the German Civil War, although it will ultimately be the victory of the National Socialists, will come at a cost, and that the civil war will make all Germans hate Soviet Russia and not France.
Sir, I know very well that your country's strategy is to balance power on the continent, so as not to make France too powerful. It is only natural to support Germany for this, but it should not be forgotten that France has become very weak because of the losses of the war in Europe. Once Germany rearmed, with the war-weariness of the peoples of Europe at this time. The Germans were perfectly free to do whatever they wanted, and they would trumpet their hatred of the Bolsheviks, but this was only a cover for us to make constant compromises, and if we really believed, the Second World War was not far off. β
Looking at the British who were listening attentively, Yang Rui said again: "The First World War weakened Great Britain, so if the Second World War happens again, Britain will exhaust all its wealth, lose all its colonies, and become an island country." I suppose this is an outcome that all Britons don't want to see, right? We are ready to act in concert with your country and provide relevant support on the issue of the elimination of the Second World War......"
Yang Rui's conversation was not made by Foreign Secretary Austin more than 20 days later. Chamberlain repeated to Prime Minister Stanley. Baldwin, who specially pushed away other official affairs to listen to the secret report, waited for Chamberlain to finish and asked: "Austin, I hope you can tell me: in the last war, the Chinese made unimaginable money, why is Yang so kind this time?" β
"Mr. Prime Minister, Ambassador to China Aiston once asked him this question, and his answer was that he hoped that Britain would continue to maintain world hegemony, because Britain's way of ruling the world is just and free, and China can develop very well, which is not the case if it is replaced by other countries." Chamberlain said the contents of the secret diplomatic letter, and he couldn't tell whether to believe it or not.
"The other country he's talking about should be the United States, right?" Baldwin, as an old politician, naturally understands what Yang Rui said
Who does 'other country' mean?
"Yes, sir," Chamberlain agreed, "China is the Germany of Europe, and they were so young that they feared a conflict with the United States, and when they signed a naval treaty in Washington, they made great concessions. Judging from this conversation, Yang very much does not want the United States to replace us, and his country needs time to develop. β
"Is it in our interest for China to develop, Austin?" Baldwin asked again.
"Not exactly. Although she is very restrained now, the future China will be the current United States, Asia will be her sphere of influence, and we will completely lose India. Chamberlain said.
"Hmm." Baldwin, who lit her pipe, fully agreed with his foreign secretary that her rise would endanger India, no matter what China assured. And if China had been ruled by Yang Rui, things might have been reversed, but a semi-democratic regime would have struggled to keep its promises, and tangible interests were everything. At the right time, the Chinese will definitely break their promises.
"So what do we do?" Baldwin looked at him, he bit his pipe.
"Is it to China or to Germany?" Chamberlain did not fully understand what the prime minister meant.
"Both." The Prime Minister took a puff of his cigarette and smiled at the Foreign Secretary.
"For Germany, if the economic crisis does occur, then we should accept the plan of the Chinese to plunge Germany into a civil war and weaken them to avoid a second European war; For China, as previously discussed in the Imperial Defense Council, it would be better to put the United States and the Sino-Japanese alliance into conflict, re-signing a naval treaty after China and Japan weakened......" Chamberlain said.
"Austin, if there is civil strife in China, then we will have to face the threat of Bolshevik Russia alone." Baldwin reminded. "This is not in our interests in Asia, at least Afghanistan and the Kingdom of Persia are in danger of being occupied by the Russians, and without the Chinese in the north, the kings may not be able to maintain their current rule."
"Sir, we will begin to reconcile China when it is weakened to the right time, this is only weakening, and the Chinese can still help us stop the Bolsheviks. In addition, we can also gain some benefits from trade with China, the Persian railway, and the oil and gas pipelines in Central Asia. Chamberlain explained that this was something that was discussed a few years ago, and that is what the current policy is moving in this direction.
"But I still fear that once the war has begun, it will not be over, unless one of the sides has completely fallen, as in the war in Europe. China in civil strife could not withstand the Bolsheviks. Baldwin continued to speak of his concerns, even though the plan was discussed and approved during his last term as prime minister.
"Sir, that's because the European battlefield is land, while the United States and China and Japan will be the sea." Chamberlain said, "It is impossible for the US Army to occupy China, the only thing they can occupy is Taiwan or Zhoushan." Blocking the Bolsheviks southward required the Chinese army, not the navy, and the same was true for Japan. When China ceded Taiwan, ......, I think they would not agree to the cession with their national zeal, but then the United States and China would become mortal enemies, which was entirely in Britain's interests. What we need is a China that can hold back the Bolsheviks, not a China with a strong navy β whether allied or own. β
"You won, Austin." Baldwin gripped his pipe and smiled, "Just do as you say." (To be continued.) )
