"So, it is inevitable that we will go to war with Brazil!"

In connection with the current international situation, Cheng Dingkang said while thinking deeply.

"Now Britain, France and other countries are focusing on North Africa, that is to say, they are unable to take care of South America! So..."

After a pause, Cheng Dingkang said as if he had suddenly realized.

"In other words, now is the best time to go to war!"

"That's right!"

Zuo Zongtang sneered.

"More than ten years ago, when the old man first came to Nanhua, His Majesty once said that the world today is completely different from the past, and so is the war between countries. It is no longer a matter between countries. , but involves all countries in the world, the Crimean War, why did Russia lose? Because Britain and France supported Turkey, and the Paraguay War, why did Paraguay die? Because Britain supported Brazil and Argentina. As for the Civil War, there are also shadows of great powers. Now we Ming has risen to become a powerful country in South America, but if we want to become the hegemon in South America, we must break through the interference of foreign powers. In the final analysis, we need to do everything possible to provoke a war in Europe, and use the blood of Europeans to seek our hegemony in the American Pacific.”

"In this way, the conflict in North Africa is the best time for the empire to annex Brazil! But if there is no war between Britain and France, then if we attack Brazil, will it cause British intervention?"

Cheng Dingkang asked with some concern.

"North Africa is nothing but bait,"

"Bait?"

"Yes! It's the bait! The value of the North African crisis is not in causing war between Britain and France, but in tearing up the assumption of the international order established by the United Kingdom. It is in consuming the international influence that Britain has accumulated since the Napoleon era, but in that it can Facing the threats from France, Russia, Austria-Hungary and other countries, Britain will do everything possible to stop them. This is a long process. The coordination of interests between countries alone will take a long time. Before the United Kingdom established their alliance, they had absolutely no power to intervene in South America. Europe... For the United Kingdom, Europe is the first! Diquan, you are far away from the center. It is to exchange the war in Europe for my Ming's world hegemony!"

Cheng Dingkang said:
"In other words, the future hegemony of the empire depends on the hemorrhage of the Europeans, and it is to use the blood of the Europeans as a memorial to the rise of the empire..."

"exactly!"

Zuo Zongtang sneered.

"From ancient times to the present, the rise of any hegemony is accompanied by iron and blood. His Majesty once said that the rise of a powerful country must be the rise of a powerful country, and the rise of a hegemony must be stepped on. With the rise of the corpses of several powerful countries, this is the truth that has not changed since ancient times, and I, Ming..."

After a pause, Zuo Zongtang said.

"If you want to rise, you must pay homage with the blood of Europeans. This Europe is not limited to the United Kingdom, but also France, Austria-Hungary, and Russia..."

"In today's world, the jungle of the jungle survives the fittest!"

As a Darwinist, Cheng Dingkang nodded his head to express his understanding. In fact, there are many believers in Darwinism in the current Ming Dynasty, because compared with others, the idea of ​​survival of the fittest is more direct, purer, and easier to understand. Because what it reveals is the essence of society and the inevitable evolution and development of life on earth. Although it is cruel, it is also an iron-like fact.

After thinking about it, Cheng Dingkang asked again:
"Master, so to speak, Brazil is already in our plan, so when are we going to go to war against it? And what excuse will we use to go to war?"

Daming, the Celestial Dynasty, of course, must pay attention to a "teacher who is famous".

"Well, you don't have to worry about it. The teacher is famous. This is the bottom line of Ming Dynasty, but this name... has no name. It can be manufactured. After you arrive in Brazil, pay attention to the local environment and formulate some targeted measures. Strategy, after all..."

Looking at Cheng Dingkang, Zuo Zongtang said in a rather calm tone.

"Once a war breaks out in the future, if you can come up with a suitable strategy for dealing with the aftermath of the war, you will definitely have the opportunity to reach Shengting directly. At that time, the future will naturally be limitless! Be sure to get this report out before the court starts the war."

Now that it's all over, Cheng Dingkang doesn't understand that this is Zuo's support for him, he quickly said gratefully.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for cultivating the subordinates!"

"Um,"

Slightly nodding his head, Zuo Zongtang breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the servant to pour the second cup of tea.

For the guests, this is a hint that the host is ready to see off the guests.

The Ming Dynasty may be different from the Qing Dynasty in many places, but some rules in the officialdom are still the same. After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty all came from there. If they want to change, it will take time, and if they want to change completely... it may take several generations. time.

After sixteen years of development, Daming has developed into a country that is completely different from China's homeland, and even the people are completely different.

From the first time he set foot on this land, Li Jingye felt an unprecedented impact. Two years after he came here, he already regarded himself as a Ming Dynasty.But that's just "when".

As soon as you leave the school, you can see large buildings combining Chinese and Western styles everywhere on both sides of the road. The lowest has four or five floors, the tallest has more than ten floors, and there are even more than [-] floors in the city center.At this time, it was just the beginning of the Chinese lanterns. The electric lights on the side of the road illuminated the road like daytime, and thousands of colorful lights flickered on the high-rise buildings. The road was full of traffic and pedestrians.

Feeling the prosperity of Yingtian's market, the flashing and changing lights of the roadside shops shone on his face, red, green, blue...

However, Li Jingye, who is only twenty years old, his eyes will always fall on the passers-by on the side of the road. Among the passers-by, there are many women who are old enough to visit him.

There are Chinese and Western descendants. Some of those women are wearing foreign skirts and plain flowered wide-brimmed women's hats, and some are wearing improved Hanfu. However, in Li Jingye's view, although Daming has promoted Hanfu for many years, But it is far inferior to the kingdom of heaven—at least in the city, there are no "demon clothes" in the kingdom of heaven. Men and women no longer have their hair disheveled, but tie their hair into a bun and put it on top of their heads. It has been popularized, especially in the past few years, the arrival of North Korean envoys has finally made the uniform system of the kingdom of heaven truly standardized - the Ming costumes that were introduced to North Korea were introduced to Daming again.

In this regard, Daming is definitely not comparable to the Kingdom of Heaven. The most fashionable Hanfu is actually a combination of Chinese and Western dresses, and the clothing that is biased towards Western clothing is still a popular attire that is both refined and popular.At first glance, most of the women who come and go on the street below are dressed like this.

But it looks really pleasing to the eye, especially the woman's exposed bamboo shoots, which look really eye-catching under the light of colored lights.

These are the scenery that cannot be seen in the kingdom of heaven!
Just as Li Jingye was sizing up the woman on the side of the road with admiring eyes, someone suddenly shouted.

"Professional!"

Following the sound, Li Jingye's expression changed slightly. Among the few people who came, there were men and women, all students of Yingtian University. Among them were Chinese, some Hispanic, some Ming people, and some... Clear the demon!
And the one named Li Xuexian Qingyao was smiling and waving at him!

"Jingye, what a coincidence, let's go shopping together."
