C2338 Strategic Opportunities (1/2)
What could not be obtained through war could be obtained through politics. This was a truth taught to Mai Kesi by ancient China!
The elites of Ireland are well aware that, with the strength of Britain at its height, it is impossible for a small Ireland to make a comeback.
Furthermore, with Britain's tough attitude towards outsiders, the Western Powers did not dare offend Britain and went to help these Irishmen who were on the verge of being exterminated.
As time goes by, the Irish population will become smaller and smaller, and the proportion of the population on the island will become smaller and smaller.
Perhaps in another hundred years, the descendants of the Irish would forget their ancestors' businesses and give up their religious beliefs, slowly merging into Britain and completely forgetting about hatred.
Hibernating and waiting for the right moment to act may sound like the right strategy, but what if the enemy is always that strong? What if the strategic opportunities you want to wait for never come? Do I have to go on hibernating forever?
As the questions from the King Yi were asked, Mai Kesi's face immediately turned pale white.
”Mr. Mai Kesi, please remember, the current situation is like this. You will never be able to achieve your independent goal through military means, the British will never let you become independent, and you will never get the full support of other people. No one will fight the British for you …”
”So how do you do your business at this time? I hope you will listen to the advice our Führer has given you... ”
”The Führer? ”The Shaw that's been in the newspaper all this time?”
”That's right, it's him. He's the one who created an emerging country in East Asia by himself. His strategic vision is definitely one of the best in this world …”
The King Yi loosened his grip on Mai Kesi and let him relax his shoulders. ”First, seek self-rule, then seek independence;
These words flashed through Mai Kesi's mind like a flash of lightning, and a huge vein appeared faintly at the bottom of his heart.
King Yi knew that he understood what he was doing so he quickly took advantage of the situation. ”With the current situation, with your current strength, you guys shouldn't be able to be independent, so stop dreaming. It should be said that you guys won't be able to be independent within a hundred years …”
”However, a hundred years is enough for the English to wipe out your culture. At that time, you must ensure that your education is not broken for a hundred years …”
”Let's seek autonomy first! You have to use all kinds of pressure to get the British to give up power. Can you at least set up a local council yourself? ”With this parliament, you can talk about building a place...”
”You need to have schools that you control, and you need to get permits to produce light industries... ”Heavy industry, don't even think about it. We should just start with light industry. You people can't be cut off from the industrial era forever, can you?”
”In the years to come, the British will still increase your taxes and flatten you, but in the hard times, you will also have to seek your own rights!”
