”Why is a country waging war? What was the purpose of the war? You have to think about this issue carefully. Remember that war is never about understanding anger, nor is it about looting! ”
”The ancients said that the Son of Heaven was so angry that his corpse floated thousands of miles away, so why should the Son of Heaven be angry? ”Why do you say in the military that you cannot raise troops out of anger?”
”This has already named the nature of the war! In the final analysis, war was about benefits, not battle spirit! If one were to say that there are no benefits in fighting this war, then even if the entire Earth were to scold my eight generations of Xiao Letian's ancestors, I would laugh and ignore it.
”Benefits, benefits, benefits! War must bring benefits, not lose them. Remember this, do not let the folklore take you … ”
”You can't think about things just because the idler is chatting and making a ruckus!”
”But then again, what are the benefits? Now, it seems that you, Mi Fei and Old Cow have not fully comprehended the meaning behind this! ”
”All of you are thinking of the compensation of 1.2 billion Gold franc in my hands? Is it the land that France and Spain have ceded? ”
”Aren't you all scheming so many small things just to get an extra share of the spoils of war?”
”Childish!” The status quo is too low! ” Xiao Letian scolded the two of them until they rolled their eyes.
”The essence of war is to establish a new order, order, order, order! ”You better study the meaning of the word 'order'!”
”Don't stare at the spoils of war, but at the new order after the war! You Chinese businessmen are supporting the Chinese war, not just to share the spoils of war with the soldiers! ”
”You businessmen, capitalists, want the benefits of the new post-war order!”
”Damn it!” Without war, how could your ships take the initiative to do business? Before the Chinese came, weren't you just sitting at home waiting for a foreign ship to come and pick up the goods? ”
”Our route extends to the Indian Ocean without war? After we win the War of the Far East and the defensive war against France, the British will have the Malacca Strait open to us. We Chinese merchant ships can freely enter the Lion Country to buy gems, did you guys dare to think about that in the past? ”
”Now that the Franco-Prussian War is over and the Frankfurt Treaty has been signed, the European countries led by the British have all acknowledged us as a nation. We are now an independent nation …”
”Wan Guo admits to it. That means we can directly trade with the people of Europe. Our ships can enter the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea and then participate in the global trade!”
”Of course you guys will meet competition. In the beginning, it will definitely not go smoothly. However, have you ever thought about whether there is a right to go out and do business at the beginning …?” Does it have to be maintained by war? ”
”Needless to say, Frankfurt Treaty and the series of treaties between us and the other European countries have already made the entire world recognize our sovereignty over Annan, Borneo, and Luzon. This place is already our territory …”
”Is this a new order... ”At this moment, Britain, Germany, the United States and the other countries, including the Netherlands, the Belgium and the Austria, have all recognized the South Sea as the inner sea of our Chinese people …”
”What does this new order bring? It's a new business model... If you merchants don't think of ways to make money from here, how can we divide the spoils of war? ”
”You provided billions of silver dollars in financial support for the Franco-Prussian War... ”Then your reward should be the long-term profits from the new business model after the war!”
”The dividends you enjoy should be the profits of tens of billions of silver coins in future business! This is the unending stream, the treasured gathering pot that can last for a hundred years without end! ”
”You two idiots …” Hurry up and get out of here! ”
