C2025 State hooligan (1/2)
”We humans live on Earth, all of our survival depends on this planet. Earth provides all the resources for us humans to live on …”
”Air, sunlight and water, these are resources that humans can use for free. Apart from these, all other life-support resources require us to work hard to obtain them from Earth …”
”But you must remember one big premise, and that is that resources are bound to be limited and not distributed evenly!”
”I will repeat my important words three times. I must remember that the resources are limited, limited, and limited!”
”Renewable resources, such as food, cotton, wool, meat … ”It looks like there will be output every year, and it will always be the same. But don't forget that annual production is restraining humans, so from this point, there is a fierce competition for renewable resources …”
”As for non-renewable resources, there's no need to talk about that. Gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and oil, you can dig a little less out of these things. The more the Chinese use, the less the Europeans use, this is the law of iron!”
”So everything comes together into one sentence. You can reprint your money if you don't have the money, but you can't replenish as much of your resources as you want. This is an eternal conflict between the human race and the Earth!”
”Zai Chun! So that theory of yours is not valid, because the Europeans have already studied the problem! Their hearts are full of egoism, and any threat to their country will be strangled! ”
”How large is the population base in China? How much food, how much meat, how much gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and oil would these people need if they reached the standard of living of the common people in Britain? ”This is not just a small amount, it is a terrifying astronomical figure. Such a large amount of resources is bound to consume the meat on the European plates!”
”Zai Chun, I ask you? Don't you want the people of the Great Qing to live a life of prosperity similar to that of the people of Europe? ”
”Yes, even in my dreams!” Zai Chun's eyes lit up.
”Then you have to remember this. You don't need to shout for the citizens to live a good life, but for the rice noodles in the bowls, for the meat on the plates, for the cannons and battleships to protect the safety of the citizens …”
”And these things did not come from the heavens for nothing. Everything needed to be maintained using various resources, whether regenerated or not! That brings us back to the question I just mentioned, where the allocation of resources is the root of all conflicts in the human world! ”
Zai Chun silently nodded his head, his master's words had really shocked him. This world was so hypocritical, Western politicians used friendly and beautiful words to create a fake curtain that only opened a small corner, and the cruelty and blood that flowed behind it was so hair-raising.
”In other words... Does Master mean that as long as I am strong and powerful, Britain will surely make an enemy of me? ”
Xiao Letian silently nodded his head, ”It's not that Daqing will become your enemy once he becomes strong, but that he will need to control more resources on Earth in order to become strong. This is the main reason why they have no choice but to be enemies …”
At this moment, the entire cabin became silent. Everyone was thinking about this heavy topic.
Xiao Letian's thoughts suddenly drifted to his previous life, that was a time where China had already entered into an era with abundant resources. People in this era did not dare imagine how rich China, which had walked out of the late Qing's marsh for a hundred years, was.
But there are hidden dangers under the golden age, and the continued expansion of the country's power and the growing desire of its people have given China a feverish thirst for resources.
In those days, almost everything Chinese needed was a price hike, oil, steel, color, food... The huge appetite of the Chinese frightened the world.
Fortunately, at that time, China already had sufficient military power to defend itself, which was why it was able to ensure the security of its own country. Otherwise, the war would have already begun just like China, who was plundering resources internationally.
It was at that time that there was a strange remark in society that a lot of people with ulterior motives were doing everything in their power to confuse the minds of the Chinese.
