C856 chain-link principle (1/2)
”Do you understand the meaning of the words' Far East Volunteer Army '?” Xiao Letian put down the pen in his hand, and hesitated to drink the cup of chicken soup.
”The far east is a vast piece of land. Take a look at our map, the land east of Wusuli River, including the island of Ku Qin, is four hundred thousand square kilometers, and the land from the north shore of Black Dragon River and Amur River to the Outer Xing An Ridge is more than six hundred thousand square kilometers …”
”These places are called the outer area of Manchu, while the Russian is called Far East. But, I prefer to call this place the Orenechun Clan's hunting grounds. The real owners of this land are actually the people of Orenechun, it's just that their social structure is too primitive, and they belong to an ancient tribe …”
”All backward civilizations naturally have a sense of intimacy with higher civilizations, which is a necessity for human society to develop. Because higher civilizations have higher technology and culture, and their material level is also more advanced, so who wouldn't aspire to a better life?”
”Meat can be cut with a knife rather than eaten directly. Meat soup can be sprinkled with fine salt and can be cooked in an iron pot …” ”The bits and pieces of these daily lives have created a huge attraction for the lower civilizations!”
”There isn't just one Manchu in the black water of White Mountain City, why would other races submit to the Manchu? It is because the Manchu had gone through trade with the Ming Dynasty, and also because they had never stopped learning about the Central Plains civilization, that they have finally become what many of the people in the white mountain and black water view as a higher civilization … ”
”Thirteen sets of armor. It sounds a little funny, but you have to understand what it meant to have an armor on the other side of the pass. The thirteen unbeatable heavy cavalry soldiers! That era where armor was made from iron and steel was not something that the nomadic peoples outside the borders could imagine. Even the leather armor made from nitrate was a secret technique that the backward nations could not fake … ”
Xiao Letian laughed, ”The Manchu used the civilization that he stole from the Central Plains to suppress the other tribes and ultimately gathered them together to form the Manchu race. He even obtained the loyalty and loyalty of many distant tribes and eventually became the new master of the Central Plains …”
”Right now, the Manchu has abandoned their former allies and ceded their territories to the Russian. This is simply bullying those people from the Orenechun for their lack of civilization … At this time, we will give them help and use an even higher civilization to fight for the hearts of the citizens of the Orenechun. Through a long and complicated military struggle, we will let these primitive tribe members who are roaming around to gradually get used to an organized life … ”
”My goal is to finally establish an independent country in this land!”
”Huh?” Dragon Lord was stunned, ”Prime Minister, you... Didn't you want to snatch this land back to our China? You want to help the military slaves of Ningguta and the people of Orenechun build their nation? ”
Xiao Letian shook his head: ”You don't understand ah, governing a country does not rely on passion and blood, it cannot be satisfied with just thinking about it, if we do not seek for the bigger picture, we will definitely crash into the wall!”
”How many times have I told you that the treaties between Qing Dynasty and that country, although lost in power and disgrace, are mutually binding by law. For example, when China and Russia's' Beijing Treaty 'was to cede land, it also implicitly recognized that the Qing Dynasty had the legal authority to rule this land!”
”Don't you think it's a bit of a detour? If the Russian wants to show the world the orthodoxy of his rule over this land, then he must acknowledge the orthodoxy of the Beijing Treaty. Simply put, he must first prove the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty's rule, and recognize the Qing Dynasty as the legal ruler of China … ”
”Now that the Qing Dynasty's rule is legal, this proves that the《 Treaty of Beijing between China and Russia》 is legal. Since the treaty is legal, then their rule over this land is also legal … It's like a chain, and if you deny any of it, the chain breaks. ”
