C3302 Xiang Ying was enlightened (1/2)
Xiang Ying was stupefied. He finally understood the difference between his master and himself, and he didn't have the ability to think as a whole.
Rangers was a group of hot-blooded young men. They had always wanted to open up a new land, wanted to expel the Tataru!
In reality, it was still the same set of expansion rules that the farming civilization of the past used to have. The ancient farming civilization waged war, usurping the lands of other countries to enslave the people of other countries.
What was the purpose of the siege? Actually, what he needed was the benefits of farming and animal husbandry. He needed the land to farm, the grassland to graze, and then develop some handicrafts and such!
This was the main purpose of the war during the ancient agricultural civilization, but when humans entered the industrial civilization, the commercial benefits had already far surpassed the benefits brought by farming.
No matter how good he was at farming, it was not as good as casting a few cannon in a Krupp factory. That was a sky-high profit!
His master had already seen through everything, that was why he didn't spare a glance at his own Rangers. It was because he, these people, were subconsciously still farmers, peasants!
Xiao Letian looked at the shocked Xiang Ying, and thought in his heart: Xiang Ying, it's not just this nineteenth century, even many people in the twenty-first century have such peasant mentality! ”
”In that era, countless people were thinking of expanding their land, but they never thought about how much value could the land they stole actually be worth?”
”Sometimes, the wealth created by a high-tech company is comparable to that of a middle-sized country. Then, why do humans have to spend so much effort to seize land?”
”How much benefit can we reap by destroying someone's country? This is a very loss-making business, your war investments cannot be taken back! ”
”Even if you win in the end, you might still be able to get the little benefits you steal through peaceful means!”
”Every time the Federal Reserve cuts the wool of the entire world, the amount of money it robs is an astronomical figure that those small and weak countries would not even dare to dream of!”
”Military expansion? ”Other than satisfying the people's hormone secretion, what else can it do?”
Xiang Ying raised his head and looked at his master with an indifferent expression. ”I understand! Master, I finally understand … ”
”What do you understand?”
”Those who speak of military strategy cannot raise their troops out of anger! I finally understand what 'anger' means. The 'anger' in the ancient text is actually a general term for emotions! ”
”As the Leader of a nation, we are the ones who set the national policy. First of all, we must not have any emotions!”
”I can't start a war just because I hate the Qing Dynasty! I can't start a war just because I have the urge to expand my territory! ”
”I can't be controlled by my emotions. I should calm down and think about the need for war!”
”We don't want to fight, but we're not afraid to fight either! When the war doesn't bring us benefits and we get bogged down in mud, even if the enemy poops and piss on my ancestors' graves, I have to endure it! ”
”In other words, when our economy needs war to gain new resources, new markets... Even if the enemy kneels in front of me and offers my family's woman for me to play with for nothing, and licks my hemorrhoids … I have to go to war too! ”
”Hahaha …” That's right! Your metaphor is disgusting enough, but it's real, that's all! ”
Xiao Letian punched at Xiang Ying's chest twice, ”Comprehended? Then, when do you think we should start fighting against the Qing Dynasty? ”
Xiang Ying said excitedly: ”That depends on how the Chinese industrialize and adjust at all times! We'll have to see how big the master's stronghold plan is... ”
