Returning to the Singapore, Xiao Letian stepped onto the soil of Asia and actually felt a strange sense of danger.
When he disembarked, tens of thousands of citizens knelt down to kowtow and let out an earth-shaking roar. He had definitely heard the hidden message behind this voice. This glorious war had not only raised the nation's self-confidence, but had also revived the Empire's thoughts in the hearts of the tens of thousands of citizens.
Someone was trying to push Xiao Letian to become the emperor. Although Xiao Letian did not know who these people were, he had already sensed it!
”Some want to overthrow the Chinese Statute Book, some want to go back in time, some want to turn the Chinese clan into an empire system … ”I can feel it. I think you guys aren't idiots either …”
Xiao Letian's faint tone made people shudder, as if ghosts were hiding in houses.
No one dared to speak, even if they had other opinions they wouldn't dare to raise. Seeing that their godson had used it, Bing Tai could only mutter, ”What's so bad about being an emperor? Why shouldn't father be the emperor? ”
”Shut up!” Xiao Letian angrily rebuked, ”The empire will sooner or later be swept into the system of historical rubbish piles. In the future, there won't even be a lot of kingdoms with monarchy in them!”
”You want me to jump on the death-train? Get out... Bring me all of the documents in the Ryukyu's inventory here, and let him carry them himself.
Bing Tai was kicked out, he looked at the people in the room and quietly said, ”Let me repeat to you again, the imperial system has already declined, I think they won't be able to maintain it for even a hundred years,”
”Let's take the simplest example. If productivity continues to develop, technology will advance by leaps and bounds, and the destructive power of war will multiply …”
”This is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is beneficial for the rapid rise of a weak country. On the other hand, it is also beneficial for the people to overthrow the emperor!”
”How many years does it take to train a Knight? How many years does it take to train a crossbow? How many days does it take to train an ordinary soldier who can shoot? ”
”The cost and difficulty of rebelling have been greatly reduced. How long do you think the emperor can maintain his rule? Napoleon III's example is already there. Didn't the hundreds of thousands of army allow Paris to rebel in the end? ”
”Ordinary people, as long as you use a spear, you will be able to fight with the Veterans of the Hundred Wars for a while. Furthermore, look at the rate at which the production has expanded. In the future, producing rifles and cannons will probably be as easy as producing pots and pans! ”
”This brings with it a great potential for war... In the next hundred years, it might be the era where all the people will join the army! ”
Xiao Letian was unable to describe the tragedy of the second world war to the people who were doing it to him. This was all because of the development of their military's productivity, after the second world war everyone in Europe would be killed.
The United States had opened its doors to the manufacture of weapons that would have armed the population of three Europe. The Soviets had pushed their entire nation into war chariots to fight against Germany, and it was no fantasy that women should go to war.
In the future, overthrowing an emperor was an extremely simple matter. Xiao Letian was unwilling to part with his son.
”Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You can decide for yourselves …” The second threat is these merchants! ”
”These merchants have rendered meritorious services to the Chinese. Without them, we would not be able to continue fighting even if we destroyed our homes to support the war.” ”But we also have to get a clear look at these people's faces …”
”A businessman, sooner or later he will become a capitalist, and a capitalist will sooner or later go to the road of monopolization... Their power will only get stronger and stronger, and industrial development will only accelerate their monopoly! ”
”Sooner or later, the power of the capitalists will be reversed to control politics, or even the army... ”I'm still alive! I can still suppress them …”
