Chapter 1299 The driving force for the advancement of the nation (Third update, please subscribe)
As Hegel said: "A nation must have some people who look up to the stars before it can have hope."
What kind of people are those who look up at the stars?
There are scientists, philosophers, and of course politicians. Perhaps the former determines the country's scientific development, but it is the latter who determines the country's destiny.
Scientists and philosophers look up and think, and politicians also think and look up.
Unlike the former, the latter is often driven by ambition.
Ambition!
Most of the time, what drives mankind forward is always ambition.
Most of the time, it is ambition that drives people to move forward. You can use all kinds of methods to ridicule this ambition, but you can never deny that it is ambition that drives the progress of human society.
In the age of great strife, almost all countries looked up at the stars and imagined the earth under the stars. What did they imagine? How to expand the scope of their country's rule under the stars. Don't think that they are a group of people full of people.
The inaction rule of ambitious people and, in fact, mediocre politicians is undoubtedly a crime for a nation.
Especially in this age of great strife, there are only two types of countries in the world. One is a country that uses iron and fire to open up living space for its own country, and the other is a country that does nothing in this age of great strife and gains nothing.
nation.
As for the rest... they are just fish and meat. In this environment, those fish and meat are not countries, they will always be just fish and meat.
Of course, few countries are willing to be human beings, and no country is willing to do nothing. Therefore, every country is working very hard to strive for success.
No matter how far they progress, one thing that is certain is that when the strength of any country reaches a certain level, they will be full of desire for this little blue planet.
After all, this world is too small, and human beings' ambitions are never-ending.
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
When putting down the information in his hand, Emperor Zhu Da said in a sarcastic tone,
"As long as Russia exists, they will not give up conquest. Expansionism has long been engraved in their bones. In the world, there has never been a country like Russia that has grown from a small country in such a short period of time.
The Principality of Muscovy was founded and conquered such a vast land..."
As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, Qian Degong said loudly.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to raise other people's ambitions? Even if we, the Ming Dynasty, have only been established for thirty years since we landed in Nanhua, in thirty years, our country, the Ming Dynasty, will not be inferior to Russia..."
This is not arrogance. Even primary school students in the Ming Dynasty can recite a text to prove the vastness of the Ming Dynasty.
"Our land stretches from the Arctic to the Antarctic! Our oceans stretch from the Pacific to the Atlantic..."
As for from the North Pole to the South Pole...this is not even an exaggeration. South China is the only country in the world that has land from the extreme north to the extreme south...well, this does not include the South Pacific territories and African territories.
Well, Ming Dynasty is also the only country in the world whose territory spans three continents: Asia and North and South America. In terms of land area... Russia is just a little brother in front of Ming Dynasty.
"Well, that's the truth, but... just keep silent and make a fortune!"
Emperor Zhu Da said directly.
"And we are different from the Russians. Our conquests are to benefit the local people. Are we conquests? No, it is liberation, right..."
Emperor Zhu Da once again came up with his "theory of welfare". It is definitely a blessing for the people of South America to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty. This blessing is definitely not "996" or "007", but a real blessing.
Fortunately, you only need to work 10-12 hours a day. Why do you have 12 hours of work? Because new areas like Peru and Bolivia require a period of transition.
"But Russia is different. As long as it exists, it will not give up its ambitions. Starting from the Principality of Moscow, expansion is its instinct. Its instinct is to conquer and expand, whether it is military, political or economic.
This is true in business, even in trade. The desire for expansion has long been engraved in his bones. As long as there is an opportunity, they will expand, no matter who the opponent is..."
Expansion is the instinct of imperialists, and this is clearly demonstrated in Russia. At this point, it can be said that no country can compare with Russia, and at most, only the Mongols can compare with it.
"Your Majesty, there is a proverb in Europe: "Tear off a Russian and you will find a Tatar."
Qian Degong's words made Emperor Zhu nodded slightly and then said.
"So, all we need is to create an opportunity for them, an opportunity to expand!"
Emperor Zhu smiled proudly, then pointed at the piece of information he had just obtained in front of him and said.
"In the past, we were worried that Russia would get off the ship, but now we don't need to worry about them getting away."
There is no need to worry about Russia anymore, because Russia jumped on the ship on its own initiative. Their current ambitions for Persia and India have put them on a road of hostility with Britain, and on this road, Ming Dynasty is
They are an indispensable helper.
"For Russia now, it's not a matter of whether he can get off the ship, but they are more worried about Ming getting off the ship."
After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu Da said.
"Now, we can even consider how to use Russia's ambitions to serve our future plans."
What does unilateral transparency of intelligence mean?
It means that Russia has no idea that the Ming Empire is also very interested in "killing the British and eating meat"! It's not very interested, but it's deliberate!
This also means that Ming has a bargaining chip, and in this negotiation, Russia is destined to be the losing party, because his trump card is very clear to Ming, but they do not know Ming's trump card.
In the past few years, the intelligence network established by the Investigation Department has allowed Ming to obtain many military and political secrets of various countries. Those secrets have allowed the empire to deal with various things calmly. In this game, Ming... is undoubtedly the starting point.
A cheating device.
"Who else can get away with it?"
When Qian Degong asked back, he frowned and said.
"Austro-Hungary, will they get out of this?"
"Austro-Hungarian Empire……"
Emperor Zhu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"They probably won't get off the boat because they are also jealous."
After standing in front of the window for a while, Emperor Zhu hesitated: In the past ten years, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been jealous of Russia and France, jealous of the expansion of the former and the oil of the latter. Of course, it is also jealous of the empire.
Extremely.
"Qian Qing's family, you know that in this world, the most important thing is profit. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire gets off the ship, what can they get? If they are on the ship, at least, they can participate in this "Eagle Killing" feast
, and get generous rewards, and what are we guaranteeing now? It is to let them know that the rewards will be generous. Of course, we will let the Russians take the lead, after all-"
Emperor Zhu Da smiled and said.
"The Russians are very vain. They would definitely be happy to be the "Eagle Killing Leader"..."
