185 Today is not like it used to be

Meng Xiaojun frowned and clenched his fists hard: "Then people from the lower class of Chou Country can't get ahead?"

"There are so many difficulties. Compared with us who can pass the college entrance examination and this fair screening, they basically have no chance of getting ahead."

Meng Xiaojun thought for a while and asked: "The ugly country has a developed economy and is the richest country in the world. This shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Jiang Hua said with a smile: "This sentence is on point. The country's economy is indeed developed. Do you know why the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom were economically developed in the first place?"

Wang Yang said: "In the Age of Discovery, the resources of colonies were plundered, and these countries were able to become rich only by relying on these."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, Chou Country also relies on plundering, but it is not a colony, because the colonies have been divided. They rely on plundering the whole world."

Someone said: "I know that during World War I and II, both countries made a fortune by selling resources and buying weapons."

"This is just part of it. The Ugly Country established a new order mainly after World War II. The order based on the hegemony of the US dollar relied on the U.S. dollar to plunder the world. In fact, the Ugly Country has no money. It issues massive amounts of U.S. debt every year.

If you have money, you can repay your debts. But the country is developing well now, so you can repay your debts. Once you have difficulty repaying your debts, your country will be in economic crisis."

Meng Xiaojun asked unwillingly: "Aren't the ugly people very rich? What about Morgan and Rockefeller? They are all so rich that they can rival the country?"

"Private property is sacred and inviolable. Even our country will not rob private property. What's more, in this ugly country where big capitalists have the final say, any general who has this idea will die without a burial place.

"

Cheng Dongqing asked: "What about the people of Chou Country? Do they have money?"

"Yes or no, their salary is much higher than ours, but he is a pre-emptive consumer. The credit card he uses is equivalent to borrowing money from the bank. After receiving the salary, he pays it back to the bank. If he has been unemployed for a year and a half, this

People will probably become homeless."

The national economy and the people's livelihood had all been asked, and Meng Xiaojun had nothing to ask. He could only say reluctantly: "The Chou country has advanced science and technology, and its army is also the best in the world."

Jiang Hua nodded: "I really can't refute this."

Jiang Hua thought about it and said: "From the perspective of our flower growers, the strength of the ugly army is called militarism. For more than 200 years since the founding of the country, there has only been a mere twenty years without war. In fact, they have been invading."

Meng Xiaojun took notice and asked: "With the advanced technology, what can you say?"

Jiang Hua asked: "Do you know about Project Paperclip?"

Meng Xiaojun shook his head, and the others also shook their heads.

Jiang Hua said: "During World War II, the Hans Kingdom persecuted the Jewish people, so a group of Judah scientists fled to the Chou Kingdom, which increased the depth of their scientific research. Later, after World War II, a group of Hans scientists were captured, and the Chou Kingdom launched the Paperclip Project

, and incorporated these prisoners of war into their own scientific research system, which is also the reason why Chou State’s imperial examinations advanced by leaps and bounds.”

"As for now, Ugly Country invests heavily in universities to attract talents from all over the world to study abroad. When the time comes, the best ones will be selected and accepted as students. This is the reason why Ugly Country is technologically advanced."

Cheng Dongqing said: "Can we not stay in Chou Country? Then wouldn't it be able to increase Chou Country's scientific and technological strength?"

Jiang Hua said: "I forgot about Mr. Qian. You don't have to join, but you may not be able to return to the country. People who study in Chou Country are sometimes too good and may be in danger. Moreover, they have sufficient research funds there. Compared with

The research situation in our own country is better, and some people are willing to stay there for the sake of their academic careers."

Someone commented: "Why is it different from what Professor Feng said?"

Dean Huang asked: "Which Professor Feng is it?"

"That's the ideological and political professor Feng from the elective course."

Dean Huang thought for a while: "Feng Yudu?"

"Yes, Professor Feng also came to Chou Country for one year of exchange and study. He told us that Chou Country is very good, and Professor Feng is now enjoying subsidies from the Chou Country Nature Harmony Foundation. He should not tell lies.

Bar?"

Dean Huang looked at Jiang Hua, who said: "I really know this foundation. It was launched by a think tank company under the Pentagon. The founder of this company is a retired hawk general."

Dean Huang's expression changed: "You mean, Feng Yu is a spy?"

Jiang Hua shook his head: "No, that foundation is sponsoring some experts and professors under the banner of sponsoring research, asking them to speak good things about Ugly Country, and attracting talents and funds to transfer to Ugly Country. Maybe Professor Feng himself doesn't know that he is

Got hooked."

Dean Huang frowned: "We need to pay close attention to it. How can we let him do this? Isn't this tantamount to a traitor?"

Meng Xiaojun said with a smile: "It shouldn't be the case, right? Just say a few nice words!"

Jiang Hua said earnestly: "Now we just want these people to say good things about them. When you get deeper and deeper, you will be asked to say bad things about us. In the end, you may be asked to do bad things. You

You must know that there is no pie falling from the sky."

Meng Xiaojun shrank back unconsciously, maybe he felt that he might be such a person.

Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "Your name is Meng Xiaojun, right? Actually, I'm quite puzzled. You said that you, an English learner, went to study in a country like Chou Country where English is the official language. What are you going to study?"

Meng Xiaojun himself didn't know clearly. Going to Chou Country might be an obsession of his. As for what major to study in Chou Country, he really didn't have a clue.

"You should know that it costs a lot of money to study in Chou Country, and the prices in Chou Country are higher than ours, which is also a large expense. The country will most likely not recommend publicly funded studies in English majors, even if you go to Chou Country

You won a scholarship but don’t have much money, how can you survive?”

Meng Xiaojun muttered: "I heard my dad and my grandpa say that you can go out to work, and the money you earn from working will be enough for me to study abroad for a few years. I won't be able to find a job after graduation."

Ok?"

"Hahahaha." Jiang Hua laughed. He pointed at Meng Xiaojun, shook his finger and said, "Do you know that there is a saying that today is different from the past. The ugly country your grandfather and your father talked about is different from the current one.

Ugly country is very different."

Dean Huang became interested, so he asked: "What does this mean? Chou Country can still be different from what it was decades ago. How can it be different?"

Jiang Hua looked at Dean Huang and smiled and said: "Dean Huang, if you don't talk about Ugly Country, aren't we different from what we were a few decades ago? And it's completely different. How can we generalize it?"
