C1053 dispute (1/2)
Benjamin's judgement of Xiao Letian was entirely based on the unique intuition of a politician.
It was a very hard to describe feeling. When a person went through 30 to 40 years of hard work in studying and accumulating knowledge, they would always be in the political circle, constantly studying the strategy and geopolitics of a large country and would always have access to the world's most core secrets …
When a high quality elite spent half their lives immersed in this kind of conspiracy, when they had spent their entire lives researching the history of the rise and fall of powerful countries, that kind of indescribable straightforwardness or intelligence also appeared.
All the famous politicians in human history have more or less had this intuition, especially in China, where the founding emperors and generals are almost all mythic.
Didn't that emperor know about five hundred years ago and five hundred years ago? Let alone those people being legends, those people actually had such unique intuition. Many things happened in the beginning, so they were able to roughly deduce the final result.
The reason was very simple. 'With copper as the mirror, one could straighten one's clothes and use history as the mirror, one could know the vicissitudes of life, and with humans as the mirror, one could know the vicissitudes of us.' Those who were good at studying history mostly said they had a unique way of deducing what was happening now.
This was because all the chaos that had occurred before the eyes of the human race had actually happened over and over again in history. Although the appearances were not the same, the core things that had been thoroughly studied would not change, especially human nature and the hearts of the people.
Benjamin was one of the more outstanding Prime Ministers in the United Kingdom. To be able to get such a title from a later generation of Prime Ministers, one could tell how cultured this person was.
Benjamin's nonsense that seemed like that of a child was actually made after careful deliberation.
In his mind, the rise of a nation or nation was inseparable from the greater picture, opportunity, hero, and a little bit of luck.
That's right, it was not easy for a super power to form. The Chinese took advantage of the great situation and opportunities of the farming civilization, and in the Qin and Han Dynasties, they had already condensed a cultural core suitable for it to survive.
Of course, the Chinese were also lucky. That fertile land was protected by the sea, the plateau, and the desert. For thousands of years, the only enemies they had to face were the barbarians of the north.
The Ancient Rome Empire, on the other hand, was much weaker. Although they had established a huge empire by relying on the Mediterranean Sea Transport, they still had too many enemies to guard against.
The barbarians in the north had a cold belt and a pagan in the east. Although the barbarians in the south were a little backward, they had caused quite a big trouble in the past.
To compare three sides against one side, of course, the Chinese had better luck.
Britain's luck was also good. The first nation to open up the Industrial Revolution, with its powerful productivity and correct marine strategic thinking, had quickly made the European island nation the strongest country in the world.
But Benjamin knew very well that no matter how fast his luck was, those who advanced history still needed someone to accomplish it, especially a hero.
