I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 176 Louis XVI: Comparing me to Jesus? Am I worthy? Roosevelt: The world is in chaos!
[Meili Zong Grant: Yes, so many heads of state have been assassinated. Was it caused by the assassination of President Lincoln? Anarchism...what again? While traveling in Europe, I noticed something special...]

Grant also noticed this. In fact, so many European countries, including their American presidents, were assassinated.

This is obviously not a coincidence.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: How do I feel...the whole world has turned into chaos? Emperors were killed one after another, obviously during the Southern and Northern Dynasties period here. 】

Zhu Houzhao was also attracted. He didn't understand what Cleveland and Roosevelt were talking about about antitrust.

Countless European emperors were killed, which is obviously an abnormality in the world.

This kind of emperors were killed one by one only in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Has anarchism become so rampant? Roosevelt, are you sure they were assassinated by anarchists? Including French President Carnot... Isn't it their own conspiracy? Putting the murderer on anarchists? I am only ten years away from you, so much turmoil has happened in the world? 】

Cleveland was also attracted by this topic. In fact, he only noticed that two years ago, in 1894, at the Lyon Exposition, French President Carnot was assassinated by an Italian anarchist.

When the news came, Cleveland doubted its authenticity.

As for the many prime ministers and kings listed by Roosevelt, they are still alive and well here.

When they heard the news, they were all assassinated.

It also made him shudder and wonder what was happening to the world.

He was only separated by ten years.

[Mercerson Roosevelt: It seems that everyone doesn’t quite understand this thing, right? President Cleveland, I think this is the end of my personal self-introduction. I need to step out of myself and tell you about the current world situation from both the domestic and international aspects of the United States. Maybe you will understand. 】

The questions from the presidents in the group decisively made Roosevelt realize that, after a long time and space, some things that they were almost used to here may not necessarily be understood by people at the previous time, or even new things.

Even though Cleveland was only ten years away from him, the world was changing very quickly.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: This is the best. I think, in order to make it easier for everyone to understand... you'd better also talk about our position in the international community after the founding of the United States. This makes it easier for President Jackson and others to understand. 】

Although the topic feels a bit crooked, this is what Zhu Houzhao wants.

He also wanted to see if the United States was what he thought it was. It was almost the end of the dynasty.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Okay! fair enough! So let me first briefly talk about our current internal situation, which is just in time to let the seniors know our current situation. 】

[Let’s start with President Washington. During President Washington’s era, our United States had just been born. The new American country with a population of about three million was very fragile. It was only because of your help, His Majesty Louis XVI, that our United States was established. 】

[After the War of Independence, we originally wanted to focus on development...provide Europe with some agricultural products and raw materials, and position ourselves as an agricultural country. The situation we face is survival and development. President Jefferson should know this. 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: Yes, our current founding philosophy is still survival and development. We are too fragile. 】

Jefferson chimed in.

[Mercy Roosevelt: It is indeed fragile, anyway, because our country is too fragile. After the death of His Majesty Louis XVI... France almost started a war with us. After Britain freed up its hands, it also fought a second war of independence with us. This can be regarded as our most dangerous first thirty years. 】

[Fortunately, in the past thirty years, outstanding figures like you, President Jackson, have emerged, allowing us in the United States to slowly gain a firm foothold. 】

[We have been concentrating on development for almost sixty years. We have paid little attention to other countries. We have only focused on the westward movement and supported the development of industry and agriculture. Among them, a large number of domestic conflicts have naturally accumulated. Eventually, civil war broke out. 】

[After the Civil War, our problems were alleviated, coupled with the explosion of science and technology, and the liberation of the labor force. Through the development efforts of the past 40 years from the 1960s to the present, we in the United States have digested the vast land of North America, discovered many resources, and utilized many resources. Eventually it became a huge, wealthy country. Although many economic crises broke out along the way, overall progress was made. 】

[President Cleveland should have said this, right? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Yes, I probably said a few things. You can focus on introducing the situation outside. 】

[Messerson Roosevelt: Well, this is the development of the United States anyway. In the past hundred years or so, except for the civil war, we have generally developed peacefully, and our population and wealth have been growing rapidly. 】

[But, Europe is different! They pretty much fought back and forth. 】

[First, there was the rise of Napoleon, and France wanted to become the European hegemon. 】

[European countries disagree and want to gang up on France. I've already said this before. 】

Roosevelt also kept things brief, trying to understand what the group members knew as he spoke.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: I know, the seven anti-French alliances, right? 】

France dominates? Duke Huan of Qi dominates... Zhu Houzhao now understands better that Europe can definitely bring into the history of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At this time, he seemed to understand everything. There seemed to be no figures like the First Emperor or Liu Bang in Europe. It was only in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

[Merceron Roosevelt: This is even better! After the Napoleonic War... fell into a short-lived European melee. Great Britain and Great Russia began to rise, and even Prussia was also rising. However, the most exaggerated thing is Britain. During this period, it was alone overseas, fanning the flames, and quietly occupying a large number of overseas colonies, and eventually became an empire on which the sun never sets. 】

[France, on the other hand, had the Franco-Prussian War with Prussia... Great Russia also took advantage of the situation and wanted to expand westward into Europe. In short, the European countries were fighting and developing at the same time. In contrast, we in the United States have never been at war. Instead, we have done a lot of business and received a lot of benefits. 】

[Anyway, as of where we are now... they have almost divided the world up. 】

[The European structure has almost been formed...there are currently so many overlords! 】

[The sun never sets on the Great Britain, the French Republic, the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, as well as Bulgaria, Romania and other relatively powerful empires. We in the United States are far away in North America, but our influence and military strength are Before 1896, it was under these countries. 】

[At the same time, that area of ​​Asia... India was occupied by the British, and some Vietnam and the like were occupied by France... These are still their tentacles of influence in Europe. The only good thing for us is that the Qing Empire in East Asia is strong enough and large enough that they can't eat it for a while. The tenacity of the Qing Empire also bought us time for development. 】

[We took advantage of the opportunity to defeat Spain and finally extended our influence to East Asia. 】

[The current world order is that whoever can obtain sufficient benefits in East Asia will have greater world influence. Or learning that the sun never sets, it has a strong influence all over the world. 】

Along with Roosevelt's narration, Zhu Houzhao combined the world map in the Xiaoling Stone Chamber with some clear outlines of the world's situation hundreds of years from now.

This America is alone overseas.

During the time of chaos in the Central Plains, they secretly developed and expanded, and now they also want to compete for hegemony in the world.

This guy, this location...

Could it be that he got the script of Brother Shihuang and his Great Qin Empire?

When Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wuyue, etc. were fighting in full swing, he stayed in a corner and developed rapidly!
No! It’s not just a Da Qin script from the Warring States period.

It seems that I also got the script of the Huns during the Han Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, or the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. I watched the tigers fight from the mountain for more than a hundred years, and then I felt that I was strong enough and wanted to take over the Central Plains. ,lord it over!
However, France, the Sun Never Sets, the Russian Empire, etc., which the Central Plains dynasties fought fiercely for hegemony, had no time to pay attention to him.

Is that right?

Zhu Houzhao did not speak, waiting for the group members to verify his guess.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Wait...in Roosevelt's time...the sun never sets on France, the German Empire...what the hell is the Austro-Hungarian Empire? What about the Holy Roman Empire? What about the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary? Roosevelt, are you not finished yet? 】

Sure enough, Louis XVI noticed that the world powers listed by Roosevelt around 1900, especially the Holy Roman Empire... were not included in the list of hegemons?

Although the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman, at least they had a real throne.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Let me add to this point. His Majesty Louis XVI, the Holy Roman Empire has been destroyed. The culprit happened to be His Majesty Napoleon. In 1806, under the order of His Majesty Napoleon, Francis II gave up the title of Holy Roman Emperor on August 8 and only retained the title of Emperor of the Austrian Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was destroyed. 】

[And the Austro-Hungarian Empire... is a multi-ethnic empire composed of Austria and Hungary! It was reorganized in 1867 after your death. 】

[In short...Your Majesty Louis XVI, you just need to understand. In that part of Europe, France, Prussia, and the United Kingdom will take turns fighting for hegemony. As for the HRE, I can't tell for a while. Anyway, it will disappear with the advancement of history. 】

Sure enough, the conversation between Louis XVI and Cleveland verified Zhu Houzhao's guess.

Europe is probably the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The ones that appear most frequently are probably Zhao, Chu, Qi, Wei (Britain, France, Germania, and the Russian Empire), which took turns to dominate, and some other small countries. , can only go with the flow.

[Merezu Louis XVI: This...this is Napoleon again...he, what on earth did he do? 】

Louis XVI could no longer imagine the chaos in Europe in the future.

[Merceron Roosevelt: His Majesty Napoleon did indeed do a lot of things...but His Majesty Louis XVI, your influence and his influence are actually about the same throughout this hundred years of history. 】【Europe...and even the world, are in today's situation, even more thanks to you - you were beheaded by your own guillotine. If you had not died...His Majesty Napoleon would not have risen, and His Majesty Napoleon would not have risen...also Not so intense that they develop into anarchism...]

Louis XVI appeared at just the right time, and Roosevelt couldn't help but sigh and summed it up.

From the perspective of their descendants, Louis XVI first helped them establish the United States...

Later, he sacrificed his head, which started a mighty national awakening and the awakening of the bottom class in the whole world...

If Louis XVI had not died, Napoleon would not have risen. If Napoleon had not risen... there would not have been so many anti-French alliances, let alone the various Prussian ones that followed...

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Stop! stop! stop! Can you please stop mentioning the guillotine? I will crush it and abolish it! Don't give me too much praise, I don't deserve it! If the world becomes like yours, can you still blame me? You are more or less going too far! Don't overdo it with joking! 】

Louis XVI had a slight breach of defense. What happened when he ate melons and then got his own head?

Can’t these people continue to talk without talking about their own heads?
[American Yingzong Cleveland: Hahaha...Roosevelt, when you say this, I feel the same way! Thank you again to the group leader for your supreme wisdom. It is so fitting to bring His Majesty Louis XVI in! Your Majesty Louis XVI, you shouldn't be angry, you should feel honored and proud. The whole world has changed because of you. I'm afraid only Jesus... I'm sorry, I'm offended. That's the metaphor anyway. You are no less than God. . 】

This metaphor directly made Cleveland realize how far-sighted and necessary it was for the group leader to bring Louis XVI in!

The entire century of European and American history after 1793 is inseparable from Louis XVI.

Why 1793! On January 1 of that year, Louis XVI was officially separated.

[Meliezu Louis XVI:...]

Louis XVI was silenced and compared to Jesus. Does he have the qualifications?

[Meixuanzong Jackson: There are some reasons for this. But stop joking, Roosevelt, don't go off topic, talk about anarchism, and... where you are now, the position of our United States in the world. 】

Jackson also somewhat agreed, but he wanted to understand the world more.

[Supreme Group Leader: Stop praising this group leader, you are talking about serious things. 】

Zhu Houzhao was also speechless. These people made fun of Louis XVI at every turn, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

It makes Louis XVI really look like the son of the world!
[Merceron Roosevelt: Okay. I continue... President Jackson, in fact, I have said that our current positioning in the world is to strive to truly transform the wealth that our United States has developed for more than a hundred years into national strength and world influence. We also want to participate, and even Dominate the world's discourse and compete with Britain, France, and the German Empire for hegemony. 】

[Based on such national interests of the United States, some domestic trust groups... By the way, trust groups are monopoly groups and large chaebol families. They only focus on domestic interests and our American interests abroad. Put them in your pocket. They are short-sighted and only care about their own strength and do not care whether the United States needs these resources to strengthen itself...]

[They have no fundamental interests of the United States at all! Therefore... if we want to strive for hegemony, we must eliminate all kinds of domestic obstacles and establish a strong federal government, so that we can safely make the United States a great power! 】

[As for anarchism... it is a more extreme social trend born from the development of the liberal revolution after the beheading of His Majesty Louis XVI! Sorry, His Majesty Louis XVI, I really can’t get around you when it comes to us today. I really didn’t mean to offend! 】

Roosevelt also realized that Louis XVI really couldn't get around it, so he reiterated it again.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Tell me, tell me. I want to see how much more mistakes I can bear for you. 】

Louis XVI was numb and wanted to show off.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Okay, then I’ll say it! Anarchism is actually easy to understand. It literally means that this society does not need public management institutions, including government management institutions such as the royal family and the cabinet! 】

[This idea was proposed by your French Proudhon! He once said, "Government is the punishment of God." In addition, Russia's Bakunin declared: For people, there is only one dogma, one law, and one moral basis, and that is freedom. This is anarchism...]

[There is no state, no government, no law, no property ownership. People are free. The world of anarchist fantasy is great. 】

[In 1881, the International Anarchist Congress was held in London, calling on everyone to "use all means to eliminate all rulers, ministers of state, priests, nobles, the most famous capitalists and other exploiters". As a result, some people were affected by this wonderful thing. The bewitchment of the world began to assassinate the heads of governments. 】

[In 1897, Spanish Prime Minister Canovas was assassinated; in 1898, Queen Elisabeth of Austria was also assassinated; in 1900, King Umberto of Italy was assassinated; in 1901, our President McKinley was assassinated... I don’t know what happened next. Is there any action, and how will each major country respond...]

[In short, the world is already chaotic enough now... and there is a group of extreme people who so-called need boundless freedom. I am uneasy about the development of the entire world, and the United States is also uneasy. 】

[This is our current domestic and foreign environment and situation in the United States. I’m done. 】

This time, Roosevelt finished speaking about the current general situation of the world in one breath.

In short, the development of European imperialism has reached its peak, coupled with the various changes and oppression brought about by the development of the Industrial Revolution, as well as the spread of various ideological trends...

At this point in time, although Roosevelt and others did not realize that the First World War was about to break out, they were already the Pacific Plumbing Duck Prophets, and they, the top politicians, were aware of the coming of major changes in the world that had not been seen in three thousand years.

[American Taizu Washington: What Roosevelt said... I still can’t understand some things, but it’s very shocking! Especially this group of anarchists, they are too radical and extreme, and they want too much freedom. If the world is to be like this, what kind of chaos will it be like? 】

With such a large amount of information, Washington felt that his brain was overloaded, but the idea of ​​anarchism still shocked him.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Are they a group of lunatics? 】

Jackson was also a little shocked.

[Mercy Lincoln: I can’t understand their thoughts... Roosevelt, has the world really become so complicated in the future? 】

[Meili Zong Grant: This...is the world really so bad and chaotic? I feel like...didn’t I see so many things during this trip around the world? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: Once the limitations of thought are released, why do I feel more terrible than anything else? Does all this really feel like the trend of thought set off by His Majesty Louis XVI? 】

There is no doubt that these presidents were shocked by Roosevelt's description of the world structure around 1900, and they were forced to raise their global vision in one fell swoop.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: ...I told you, it’s none of my business! 】

Louis XVI was tired again and wanted to explain. He couldn't believe that a rational man like Jefferson could be led into a rhythm.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I think the world Roosevelt described may be just the tip of the iceberg. Presidents... try to accept it. I feel the same as Roosevelt about this world. I am afraid it will not be peaceful soon. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Wait...although I don't understand, but...anarchy, I feel that your future world will probably usher in world chaos! I also feel that... the death of His Majesty Louis XVI is equivalent to the assassination of Cao Mao, the emperor of Cao Wei here, in the street. This has led to a violation of discipline and an imbalance of etiquette... I am afraid that there will be a big crisis soon. Troubled times, for example, our Southern and Northern Dynasties...]

Zhu Houzhao now finally understood what might be going on in the world that Roosevelt and the others lived in.

He also understood Wu Huanhua who was brought into the Eight Kings Rebellion.

I'm afraid that Roosevelt's world... is about to usher in a world of chaos on a larger scale.

As for the idea of ​​anarchism, he wasn't that surprised.

Those scholars in the Jin Dynasty and Jin Dynasty had obviously experienced this kind of despair, so they crazily ate Wu Shi Powder to numb themselves and forget about the world...

As for the more distant ones, Zhuangzi once said that rule by doing nothing, and their thinking here is much earlier.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Unbelievable...The Eastern Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually understood. Although I don’t understand what His Majesty the Tang Dynasty said, I feel that it is indeed possible in a troubled world. Therefore, my current policies in the second term will be more radical. I want our country, the United States, to still be able to secure sufficient interests amidst this chaos. 】

Roosevelt was a little surprised. He did not expect that the Eastern Emperor in the group really provided some Eastern wisdom and insights.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: It seems that we also need to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty... introduce his situation first, and then let him share some Eastern experience? 】

[I feel that Roosevelt’s introduction is almost complete. Does anyone still have questions? Without any doubt, I moved on to the next step. President Grant, I feel that your introduction can be delayed a little. 】

[Meili Zong Grant: I don’t mind. 】

[American Xuanzong Jackson: I think it is ok... We also need to digest what Roosevelt just said, and it would be just right to change to an Eastern mindset. 】

[American Taizu Washington: That’s fine. 】

Naturally, the president in the group had no objection.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Are you here? That's fine, I'll try my best to tell you what happened to us and my situation. 】

Zhu Houzhao realized the gold content of this chat. Roosevelt's narration was first and foremost, and he could not be worse than Roosevelt.

This not only represents the trumpet name of Tang Xizong and Li Xuan, but also represents their Eastern insights and Eastern wisdom.

　The last few pictures are mainly attempts to understand the world from the perspective of the United States before World War I. It may be a bit boring, but it is very important to this article. There are some incorrect things, please correct me!
