Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiao Letian's plan was very pragmatic, when he said that China's ultimate goal was Britain, it was not just a moment of arrogance. When everyone heard Xiao Letian's explanation in detail, they finally felt relieved, and the expression on their faces slowly relaxed.

Wang Huaiyuan and the others thought that Xiao Letian had expanded after defeating Sha Russia, but with just this little area of land, and with only thirty to forty thousand regular soldiers, and with a household registration population of just over five million, he actually dared to go against the British Empire? Isn't this a joke!

But after that, Xiao Letian's explanation made everyone frown.

"What is the core conflict between nations? On the surface, it seemed like money, business interests, religion, culture, land … However, this is only on the surface! "

"Resources, only resources are the core competitive power. Even the Industrial Revolution is only a base of resources, which is a type of increase in production efficiency …"

"Is that hard to understand? "Actually, it's not difficult. For example, in the UK, no matter how many factories there are in the country, how many steam engines they have, or how efficient their production is, in the end, raw materials are still needed to process them. Only then will there be all kinds of industrial products …"

"It's precisely because of the flow of resources and industrial products, that money and trade have arisen. This is the core competitiveness of the country …"

"You want to develop the gemstone industry? "First of all, you have to make sure that you have the resources for the gem mine. If you want to develop your textile industry, you must have cotton and wool, right?"

"More complicated ones, such as the Zhiyuan Warship warships under our feet, these are the mechanical advanced processing products that combine various types of resources, such as steelmaking, coke, chemical engineering, rubber, glass manufacturing, weapon machinery … All sorts of industries have gathered together to create such a world-class classic! "

"As you can imagine, if we and Prussia didn't have coal, steel, color, rubber... Without all sorts of resources, just technology and production equipment will be sufficient? "

Wang Huaiyuan couldn't help but say with a sigh, "That's true. Not only industry, but even agriculture also has competition for resources …"

"For example, in Britain now, they use the cotton from the North America and India, the wool from Australia, the grain from Odessa, the tea leaves from China... It was the amalgamation of the vast resources of the world's colonies that made Britain rich. "

"Forget about everything else, just in the field of food alone, Britain is extremely reliant on the harvests of the overseas colonies!"

"That's right!" Xiao Letian stood up and said loudly, "You must always remember that sooner or later, our Chinese people will have to clean up that mess on the continent. To us, the greatest crisis is none other than the hundreds of millions of mouths on the continent!"

"Eating is the biggest thing in this world, which one cannot rely on resources in order to live and eat? When three to four billion Chinese want to solve the problem of warming up, will the mainland alone be able to produce enough? "

"It's not enough, it must not be enough. This has been the inevitable cause of the rise and fall of the Chinese feudal dynasty for thousands of years. If it was enough, with the kindness and patience of the Chinese people, how could there be a revolution to change dynasties?"

"Ploughing food requires land, cotton needs land, vegetables and fruits need land even more, including animal husbandry …" "And the population will always rise up. Once the limit is crossed, it will definitely be insufficient!"

"Historically, the moment such a crisis appears in China, it would be an insurmountable problem, a terminal illness that cannot be cured! No matter how glorious the dynasty is, or how powerful the emperors and generals are, they can only do nothing in the face of such a crisis! "

"When the problem is not effectively resolved, it will develop into the most horrifying outcome, and that is the revolution! "Those who live in extreme poverty rebel for the sake of their survival, and the heads of the nobles and mega-merchant s who live in extreme poverty roll with dust. A large number of people quickly perish, all the way until the amount of people on the continent can afford to perish …"

"After a round of destruction and redistribution, a new dynasty has risen in power. Rebirth has begun once again …"

Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, "We Chinese cannot follow the old path! "There is only one way to solve this thousands of years of unsolved problems, and that is to leave the country and colonize the entire world …"

"For territories that are close to us, we will use the method of direct expansion of the Chinese race to occupy the land, just like the Borneo. In the future, this will be our territory, and all the resources on it will be used to feed our Home Country!"

"That's not enough. As for the more distant regions, we need to colonize them economically, just like the chess piece I laid down for La Deng in the Middle East. Once he establishes a kingdom in the future, our capital can expand to this place …"

"In the future, there will be a very important resource appearing in the Middle East. We, the Chinese people, have to plan ahead and use the form of a joint stock company and these rich families of the Middle East to ensure that we can buy the resources we want with money!"

"This is what I'm going to do for the Chinese in the future. I'm going to make the Chinese land expand along the Pacific coast, and we're going to make the Chinese capital spread all over the world." There is only one goal in everything, and that is the safety of resources! "

"We Chinese, to eat enough food, to eat enough cotton and wool, to eat enough steel, non-ferrous metals, rubber, rare minerals... Including the oil I once said! "

"These things cannot be settled by our 1,000 square kilometers of territory. The only way is to go out and snatch them, using all sorts of methods!"

"Then think about it, if we rob more, will Britain get less? What will they do to us when they have less resources? "

"At that time, will they still welcome us like they did today? Haha … At that time, other than sending us to war, what else can we do? "

"That's why I said that Britain is our future enemy. It's not that I, Xiao Letian, am warlike, but I can clearly judge the development of history … England will come to us sooner or later! "

"I estimate that the time limit should not exceed thirty years!"

With a boom, the cabin was filled with whispers. Not long later, Xiang Ying asked, "I firmly believe in the Leader's judgement, when our hands reach into the British food pot, they will definitely not let this go. When that time comes, Britain will definitely take military revenge!"

"The war will definitely take place first on the sea, so the navy is the core of our strategy for the future! Increase Allocations... The Navy must be able to control East Asia within 10 years, the South Ocean within 20 years, the Western Pacific and even the Indian Ocean within 30 years. "

"It's impossible without more than 60 Iron-armored Ship s! I request for additional funding from the Führer! "

Sima Yun frowned and said, "Additional appropriation? Easy to say... The War of the Far East of Sha Russia has drained all of our finances. Without more than ten years of rest and rest, we will not be able to achieve a fiscal surplus! "

"No …" There is another gold mine! " Xiang Ying coldly said, "Qing Dynasty... As long as we can overthrow the Qing Dynasty in its place, China's financial resources will be more than enough for us! "

"If you should tear up our relationship, we will tear up our relationship …" Sending troops to the Yangtze... Allied with the Xiang Army, we will cut off our ties with Jiangnan, creating a situation where the two sides are at odds. With our Chinese business capabilities, Jiangnan's economy will recover in three years! "

"Use Jiangnan's wealth to support the navy!"
