"To put it bluntly, I'm a little surprised that my behavior has changed recently!" Wang Yongjiang said with a smile.
Zhang Tinglan casually waved the Tao Te Ching in his palm and said with a smile: "Mr. Minyuan, do people always have to make progress? I read Lao Tzu's Five Thousand Words every day now, and there is also a copy of Zizhi Tongjian on the bedside."
Wang Yongjiang also nodded: "When I was studying in my early years, I had no doubts about these things. But when I got older and came into contact with Western learning, I became a little skeptical about these things. I even thought that these things from my ancestors were outdated and too old.
It was only when I reached the age of destiny that I truly understood that if I want to govern a country, the things belonging to my ancestors are the real treasures. I didn’t expect Zhu Yan to be able to see this so quickly, it’s really amazing.”
"Mr. Minyuan is ridiculous, but I think that what I said about the great country is despicable, and it is the female of the world. I have some feelings."
"How to say?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Taking the past Chinese dynasties as an example, our degree of control over the surrounding vassal states is actually far greater than today's colonies. We did not enforce culture. As a result, Korea, Annan, Ryukyu, etc. all
It is unavoidable to regard Confucian culture as a classic. We did not conquer at will, but as a result, these countries all looked up to China, and the king even had to kneel and kowtow to us. Even if there are some domestic disturbances, no matter who comes to power, they will demand the heavenly kingdom.
Agreed, we all have to rely on China, but today the Empire has troops stationed everywhere, but there are fires and troubles everywhere."
"That's right." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "I'm sorry, you have seen this. In fact, you have seen the wisdom of ancient China. We rarely rely on strong force to kill indiscriminately like Westerners.
Take the issue of tribute as an example. When a small country sends something, we have to send it back several times. It seems a bit disadvantageous and a bit silly. But don’t forget, it is this way that promotes our currency.
Go out. And when these small countries have some money, they will also buy Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain. All in all, our neighboring countries have maintained a trade surplus. If we don't give them more, these small countries will go bankrupt."
Wang Yongjiang laughed and said: "In my opinion, Westerners are smart about small things and confused about big things, otherwise they would not have had a European War. If this trend continues, there may be another war in the West. I don't know if this is true.
The last one. But being so warlike will consume their national power sooner or later. The West is only a hundred or two hundred years ahead of the world, and it only relies on industrialization. As long as other countries learn this, the West will fall sooner or later."
"Mr. Minyuan, are you so confident?"
"Some people were aware of it beforehand, some were aware of it later, and some people were unaware of it. In fact, after China began to unify and develop industrialization, this general trend has been established."
Zhang Tinglan is also full of confidence in China. After all, it has ruled the world for thousands of years. He accidentally took a nap and let a group of trout trots ahead. It was like a student who had been ranked first in the exam for several years in a row suddenly fell ill and took a leave of absence until he returned to school.
After that, after a period of hard study, you will definitely catch up.
"Mr. Minyuan, I am also confident about the future. However, at this time, the West still has the absolute advantage. We have to dig out the West's corner step by step."
"Yes, if you want to establish the Asia-Africa-Latin America Forum, it will be quite good. Many political parties and groups from small countries have already arrived in the country. There are already more than 30 in succession, and some more are on the way."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise: "How come there are so many? I guess it would be good to have more than a dozen."
Wang Yongjiang laughed loudly: "I'd like to say that you underestimate China's influence. Take the surrounding vassal states as an example. Representatives from Annan, Myanmar, Nepal, Laos, Ryukyu, North Korea, Luzon and other places all came.
There are also representatives from countries such as India, Iran, Egypt, and Turkey, as well as many from Africa, and Latin American countries such as Cuba, Colombia, and Peru also have representatives, and even Japan sent a delegation."
Zhang Tinglan nodded as she listened to Wang Yongjiang's introduction. There are too many small countries in the world that suffer from great hatred and hatred, and they have basically become colonies of the West. If there is a chance to seek independence, they will definitely spare no effort.
In recent years, China has transformed from a public colony to a basically independent and unified country, which has a fatal attraction for these regions. Just like after the Meiji Restoration, Japan became the one that East Asia looks up to, but China has greater influence than Japan.
Countries are also more encouraged.
With China's size, if the world convenes a beggar conference and excludes the rich and powerful leaders of several major powers, the huge China will be the natural leader. Therefore, representatives of various independent national organizations and resistance movements in these areas have come one after another.
Come to China.
In fact, it can be regarded as a world trend. Take the Soviet Union. Before they got rid of the civil war, they established the Third International to win over various forces in the world. This played a vital role for the Soviet Union.
At least for a long period of time, a large number of world elites regarded the Soviet Union as the hope of mankind, and various colonies went to Moscow to learn from it, providing an excellent opportunity for the Soviet Union to expand its influence.
The rapid formation of an Eastern camp after World War II was also closely related to this painstaking effort. However, the Soviets also made serious mistakes. The country pursued control over these small countries, which resulted in rebellion and simple and crude
His style of work also ruined a good situation.
Zhang Tinglan's current proposal to establish this forum is actually taking away the jobs of the Soviet people. The only people in the world who can lead national independence are not only the Soviet Union, but also China. You don't have to go to Moscow, you can also come to Beijing!
Of course, people will hate you if you do this kind of thing, but it won’t happen if you don’t do it. If China wants to become a strong and unified country, it will definitely challenge the existing world structure. No matter how you hide it, China’s size is
There is no way to avoid this. But how to operate it is very knowledgeable. If it is like the Soviet Union and provokes the Western powers to join forces to impose sanctions, it will not be good.
Therefore, when Zhang Tinglan was handling the issue, he did not mention armed resistance at all, but instead used cooperation and respect as the theme of the forum.
On April 20, 2026, the forum officially opened. At the opening ceremony, in front of hundreds of representatives from all over the world, Zhang Tinglan, as the initiator of the forum, first delivered a speech.
"Friends from all over the world, Chinese people often say that it is a joy to have friends from far away. You are able to travel thousands of miles to come to China and participate in this forum. I, as well as the Chinese government and people, would like to express my great gratitude.
.
The reason for convening this forum is obviously to hope that some backward countries and regions can sit together to find ways to solve the problems at hand and seek common development. The world is constantly changing, and the old colonialism based on plunder has become
It has become something that everyone despises. I believe that neither the East, which believes in doing to others what you don’t want others to do to you, nor the West, which believes that all people are born equal, are unwilling to see this kind of situation where people enslave others.
China sympathizes with the sufferings suffered by other countries, and until now, some of China's territories are still in the hands of the great powers and have not been completely resolved. Therefore, seeking independence and establishing a nation-state is the wish of almost everyone. Here I would like to express my thoughts on the future of international affairs.
Order makes a point.
Peace, openness, freedom and equality, these four points should be the core spirit of the new world relations. Peace means opposing war and violent means. On the premise of mutual respect, all countries and regions should uphold the principle of national self-determination and establish independent
country.
In terms of economic development, all countries must maintain an open and free attitude, break the cages created by colonialism, allow goods to circulate freely, and allow countries around the world to fully compete, give full play to the advantages of various countries and regions, and jointly achieve wealth and prosperity..."
Zhang Tinglan's Asia-Africa-Latin America Forum has actually attracted the attention of all countries in the world. Everyone thinks that this is China's intention to declare war on colonialism, just like what the Soviets did. All European and American countries have come together to sharpen their knives and want to
Attack China.
However, after Zhang Tinglan's speech was circulated, everyone realized that they seemed to have made a mistake in judgment. Especially the Americans, after seeing this speech, they felt very sad.
Isn’t this exactly what President Wilson proposed at the Paris Peace Conference? Breaking the cage of colonialism and promoting liberalism fulfilled the wishes of the Americans. You must know that countries such as Britain and France have established one relatively closed country after another through colonial control.
In the current trading system, Americans have huge production capacity and cannot sell goods around the world.
If Zhang Tinglan's concept is the most beneficial to the Americans, the alliance between Europe and the United States will collapse in an instant before an alliance is formed. Even the mainstream media in the United States have reported one after another, praising this idea of peace and openness. Even the U.S. government is preparing to start a war.
Under this banner, it exerts influence on various regions and establishes a world order that is beneficial to the United States.
Of course, any politics is dirty. Zhang Tinglan may be high-sounding on the surface, but behind the scenes, this is not the case at all. No one will believe that just shouting a few slogans can make Britain, France and other countries give up their colonial interests.
However, China always has to pay attention to taste and subtlety when doing things. During the forum, China arranged for representatives from various countries to visit factories, schools, and docks to see China's industrial construction achievements.
In particular, Zhang Tinglan also arranged for them to visit the paratrooper operations. They had just shown off their skills in the southwest, and they took them out again this time. They also arranged for transport planes to airdrop two small armored vehicles. After the armored vehicles landed, they quickly started to move. People with various skins
The representatives all applauded heartily.
Some of them had their eyes widened. Oh my god! China has such a powerful force. It seems that the Chinese can help build an army and then fight back home. Several representatives have completely made up their minds!
