C2498 Blanqui from the Brussels (2/2)
”With commercial interests, humans will do everything in their power to protect these interests. Thus, the British political system, military development and diplomatic direction will all revolve around this core force.”
”That's why they invested so much money to constantly expand the Royal Fleet. That's why they are constantly expanding their colonies. This is the causality that the people from the East are talking about.”
”Alright! Now, look at that question you mentioned. If Napoleon I succeeded, would it replace Britain? The answer is definitely no, because there was no technology in the France that could suppress the British. ”
”Without heaven-defying technology, you won't be able to achieve great productivity gains. When your country's productivity can't surpass the UK's, your goods' competitiveness will naturally be weaker than the UK's. So how will you replace the UK's position as a country?”
The surrounding students were suddenly enlightened. They all nodded. ”Indeed, until now, we still don't have universal compulsory education in France. On the other hand, after Gladstone came to power in England, she is trying everything she can to promote his bill.”
”Even Prussia has begun compulsory education for all. We can imagine that they are desperately climbing to the top of the technology tree! France has indeed walked behind them on this matter. ”
”So, if we build a new country, the first thing we have to do is to improve our education. We have to do everything we can to stand at the peak of the next technological breakthrough. That is the only way to improve our country's strength.”
Blanqui said in a low voice, ”I still have one more thing to worry about! If the working class wants to seize power, she cannot just rely on military uprisings, hot-bloodedness is definitely a must. But in the end, if she wants to take power for a long time, he still needs countless smart people! ”
Saying that, Blanqui suddenly went silent, he recalled the words in the big bearded friend's letter, a sentence that made him feel extremely uneasy.
Who would have thought? Technology was the first productive force. This was not something that the old friend had thought of, but rather, it was something that originated from the Eastern Wise. Who was this Eastern Wise? The bearded old friend did not explain.
But Blanqui was not an idiot, he only needed to think about it and be able to guess what it was.
Who else could it be but the Oriental envoy in Europe? And besides that person in the Eastern diplomatic corps, who else could have said such wise words?
What an enigmatic man! Blanqui could not help but sigh deeply in his heart.
At this moment, a figure suddenly ran over from the wasteland. ”Teacher!” Teacher! There's a telegram from Paris. ”
Blanqui took the telegram, read it ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help but frown and sigh while shaking his head, ”I failed ….” Just as I expected, Gan Bida rejected our request … In the end, he chose the capitalists! ”
”What a pity, what a pity!”
