Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 15 The Victor
Subtitle of this chapter: It doesn’t matter if there is no Gundam, as long as there is a movie.
The third world hegemony is the American Gold Empire, which is the first empire that can collect seigniorage from the whole world. It is much more prosperous than Spain and Britain. The usurious imperialism of France is nothing compared to this.
Since finance makes more money, makes it easier, and makes money more "elegantly" than industry, then isn't deindustrialization a natural thing to do?
What's more "coincidentally", when the Spanish Empire dominated the world, China was the world's factory, and the great voyages of discovery were aimed at finding new routes to China; Britain was willing to be an opium dealer because of its huge trade surplus with China, and later fought the First Opium War; when America wanted to deindustrialize, China was the most suitable "takeover man" at the time.
However, this transfer of hegemony is likely to introduce a wasteland plot similar to "Fallout"...
Fortunately, the bad ending of picking up bottle caps has nothing to do with our Master Yuan for the time being, after all, the atomic bomb is still a long way off. Although the principle of nuclear weapons is very "simple", and a high school student would know what it is, in 1921, the industrial level of the United States was worse than that of North Korea. Even if 100 million Americans ate grass, they could not produce a killer weapon.
His main job is to help people all over the world smoothly pass through the second transfer of hegemony.
"Mr. Nomura, Mr. Yamamoto, you two should know that there is a sentence in the "Records of the Grand Historian" - when Qin lost its power, the whole world chased it. The world situation in recent years is very similar to that at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty."
"William II was indeed an incompetent emperor, but the Second Empire was full of elites and talented people, and he would not be allowed to mess around . If Britain had not shown signs of decline, how could Germany challenge its hegemony?"
"The Germans failed this time. What about next time? Or what about another country?"
Yuan Yanshu's two questions made the two Japanese people fall into deep thought.
If you think about it carefully, what the Chinese man said is not without reason... No, it is very reasonable. The key is that what he said is very much to the liking of these two Japanese naval officers.
If Britain loses its hegemony, who else but the Japanese can inherit its Asian colonies?
Just when they were thinking of something good, our Master Yuan said coldly: "By the way, gentlemen. There is another possibility, that is, Britain voluntarily transfers hegemony to the successor of their choice peacefully..."
"America!"
Then he said calmly, "Just like our two countries, they are two countries with the same language and culture, and their economic relations are also very close. Capitalists have no motherland. The capital of Britain and the United States is in me and in you. I think you two should know this."
"If one day, Britain realizes that they are not capable of world hegemony, it is better to let America take over instead of Germany, France or even the Soviet Union."
"As for us yellow people... hehe." Master Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think Britain or America will allow our two countries to become truly powerful?"
"So, dissolving the Anglo-Japanese Alliance is the first step for Britain and the United States to hand over world hegemony!"
"You two must understand that without a military alliance with your country, how can Britain seek control of the Western Pacific? Giving up the Western Pacific means giving up direct confrontation with the United States."
"Of course, at this time, the British Empire must still be clinging to the glory of Victoria, and it is not so easy to give up its hegemony. Maybe except for a few knowledgeable people, they did not realize the seriousness of abandoning the alliance."
"But as long as we keep going step by step, everything will eventually be ready..."
Yuan Yan suddenly made a spherical gesture with both hands and said, "America has naturally achieved world hegemony, and it also includes Greater East Asia where our two countries are located!"
"Arnold..."
When the two Japanese soldiers heard this, their faces suddenly became gloomy.
Yamamoto Isoroku suddenly asked, "May I ask Mr. Yuan, if you were the ruler of your country, how would you deal with the current situation?"
"Haha..." Master Yuan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Although we Chinese often say that we should not meddle in other people's affairs if we are not in their position. But since Mr. Yamamoto asked, I will tell you two something from my heart. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Now the situation is that the West is strong and the East is weak, and our country is in such a situation..."
"Alas... I really want to kill the enemy but I can't do anything to save the situation." He sighed and said, "If it were you, my brother, I would just follow the winner."
Yuan Yan thought to herself, if you guys in Japan can make a big carrot head like Zaku, then I won't bother with it anymore. I'll just build the Principality of Zeon with you guys... well, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
But this kind of sci-fi style is impossible. If we honestly compete on industrial strength, then I'd better follow the Earth Federation... well, the Allies.
Unless we establish a human innovation alliance...
“Pika Pika!”
His answer, which clearly showed his disapproval of Japanese gold, made the two Japanese feel relieved. This Chinese was indeed very smart, but he was not their Great Japanese samurai after all.
The Japanese have been students of the Chinese for thousands of years. No matter what they say, they still don’t see the Chinese as an uncivilized and inferior race like the Westerners do. In fact, many Japanese “insightful people” at that time believed that the problem of this older nation next to them was that there were too many smart people and too few stupid people willing to work hard.
Even Yuan Hongjian is just a fence-sitter.
After these few contacts, Ba Maoqian had come to understand Yuan Yanshu's style. When he saw the handsome face of the Chinese man, he knew that this guy had a plan in mind.
He stood up and bowed 90 degrees, then straightened up and said sincerely: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Yuan is really a natural born international politician! I think Mr. Yuan must have taught me!"
Nomura Yoshisaburo also stood up and bowed, and said with an expectant expression: "Yes, Mr. Yuan. Please tell us how to deal with it."
"Gentlemen, please take a seat." Master Yuan put out his cigar in the ashtray, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I don't know if you still remember three months ago, I said here that as long as we can stir up public opinion, we can influence the foreign policy of the United States. And now this matter has finally made some progress..."
The two Japanese were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that this Chinese man was not joking.
"Please wait a moment."
Yuan Yan suddenly stood up, walked into the study, took out two copies of the script of "Famine Orphan", and handed them to them with a solemn expression.
