The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 754 What is a superpower? Comparison of the peak strength of the Russians and the Americans! Qin Shi Huang: The Qin Empire is inferior to us!
[Comparison of military strength between Russia and the United States during the confrontation, who is stronger? ]

As soon as the title appeared, various comments began to fly on the screen.

——"Maozi: Do you want to know more about Tomahawk steak and candied haws?"

——"I think the United States has a good chance of winning. After all, it is still number one in the world."

——"When it comes to playing with nuclear bombs, these two are heavyweight players!"

——“It was these two big guys who turned the world map into a game of Three Kingdoms.”

——"In fact, if a war really breaks out, the whole world will suffer, and it will not matter who wins."

——"Maozi: Would you be dissatisfied with the Tomahawk steak grown in a greenhouse in Siberia?"

——"American Empire: We have freedom fries here, would you like some?"

——"If we fight, it will be a mushroom cloud. Whoever presses the button first will lose!"

……

When the ancient people saw this title appear on the sky, they all held their breath and stared intently.

As wise men who have experienced thousands of years of war, they have a natural sensitivity to the competition between powerful countries.

Especially when they learned that these two giants of later generations could divide the world equally, it aroused their strong desire for knowledge.

In the previous video, the ancients also had a simple understanding of these two countries.

Many people pay special attention to Russia. They are amazed that this country can still be ranked among the world's powers even after its division.

Many people secretly wondered what kind of foundation this huge empire had that allowed it to remain standing even after suffering such a heavy blow.

Some ancient people who had experienced foreign invasions were particularly interested in the Russians' rise in the cold environment.

I am also looking forward to learning about the strategic wisdom of this vast land.

The existence of the United States makes them feel novel.

Many people find it incredible that this young country was able to reach the top of the world in just a few hundred years.

When the ancient people learned that these two major forces could compete in many fields such as military and technology, their desire for knowledge became stronger.

A country that can dominate in the future must have its outstanding features, and these experiences have far-reaching enlightenment significance for any era.

As everyone was puzzled, the video on the sky screen slowly unfolded.

[Two super giants emerged on the world stage after World War II! ]

[What is a superpower? Simply put, it is a top player that can project power on a global scale and influence world events. ]

[Such a country must not only have strong military strength, but also be in an absolute leading position in the fields of politics, economy, science and technology. ]

[A superpower is like the final boss in a game, possessing overwhelming power and able to dominate the formulation of international order and rules.]

[A qualified superpower must have at least the following characteristics:]

[First, the military force must be invincible. Not only must there be a large number of conventional troops, but also a nuclear strike capability that can cover the entire world.]

【Second, the economy must be strong. The GDP must be among the highest in the world, and the currency must have international influence and be able to lead the direction of the global economy.】

【Third, the level of science and technology must be leading. Whether it is aerospace technology, computers or biomedicine, we must stand at the forefront of world science and technology.】

【Fourth, cultural output must be powerful. From Hollywood movies to fast food culture, we must let our lifestyle influence the whole world.】

[Fifth, diplomatic influence must be strong. Words must carry weight, be able to influence international affairs, and have their own sphere of influence in every continent.]

[This is why only Russia and the United States can be called superpowers after World War II. They are like two game players with a lot of equipment, and other countries can only look up to them. ]

[To become a superpower, it is not enough to have money, but also to have military bases all over the world, a strong alliance system, and the right to influence the world. ]

[To put it simply, a superpower is a country that can use its strength to make the whole world listen to it, just like the ancient Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, except that the battlefield has become the whole world. ]

[The Russians and the Americans are at this level. Their competition can be regarded as one of the most intense duels in human history! ]

The barrage floated by.

——"According to this standard, the United States is now the only superpower, right?"

——"Huaxia: I also meet these conditions now, do you want to be counted as one?"

——"That's right, our GDP is now the second largest in the world!" ——"To be honest, Russia is no longer a superpower, right?"

——"The standards for a superpower are so high that few can reach them."

——"Cultural export is a bit difficult. Not everyone can make a Hollywood blockbuster!"

——"China is already very strong now, but it still feels a little bit away from becoming a superpower."

……

Qin Dynasty plane.

Qin Shihuang stared at the content on the sky with his eyes sharp.

As an emperor who unified the six kingdoms, he had an almost obsessive pursuit of power.

These descriptions of superpowers made his heart beat wildly involuntarily!
As the founder of the Qin Empire, he knew the true meaning of unity and strength.

But now seeing the standards of future superpowers, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Although Qin has unified the world, it still seems too small compared to an existence that can dominate the world.

Military bases are spread all over the world, they can influence the world economy, they have access to cutting-edge technology, and their cultural output can influence other countries...

Although these concepts were beyond his comprehension, he fully understood their essence.

Isn't this exactly what he has been pursuing?
True power not only makes the enemy surrender, but also makes the whole world obey your orders!
If the Qin Dynasty could become such a superpower, it would not only be able to unify the six kingdoms, but also be able to rule the entire world!

This is what a truly powerful empire should look like.

Although the current Qin is far from enough, this goal is worth pursuing!
Maybe one day, the Qin Dynasty will be able to achieve this!

If I live long enough, this ideal can be realized.

"Someone! Call Xu Fu!"

……

On the parade ground outside Chang'an City, Li Shimin was riding a snow-white horse and watching the imperial guards' training.

Fang Xuanling, who was standing beside him, was also riding a horse.

After reading the content about superpowers on the screen, Li Shimin turned around and asked thoughtfully: "Lord Fang, do you think that our Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a superpower?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, the prestige of our Great Tang Dynasty spreads far and wide, and all the countries in the Western Regions, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje have bowed their heads and submitted to us.

Even the distant India and the Caliphate sent envoys to pay homage to Your Majesty and honor Him as the Heavenly Khan.

Isn't this kind of power the embodiment of a superpower? "

Li Shimin looked at the soldiers training in front of him and shook his head slightly: "According to the standards of later generations, I'm afraid it's still far from enough.

Although our Tang Dynasty is strong, it is only the dominant force in this corner of the country.

The Russians and the United States can project their power all over the world. Compared with them, our Tang Dynasty is far behind them. "

"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Fang Xuanling immediately responded: "That's true. Although our Tang Dynasty has the might of the Sixteen Guards, it cannot project its military power beyond the ocean like later generations.

Although the Silk Road connected the East and the West, it was not as dominant as the later generations in the global economy. "

Although Li Shimin didn't quite understand what he heard, he nodded slightly: "Especially the level of technology, which makes me feel deeply moved.

Although our Tang Dynasty also had some ingenious things, they were far less sophisticated than those in later generations.

It seems that to become a true superpower, we still need to continue to work hard in many aspects. "

Fang Xuanling was about to answer when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry riding past, raising clouds of dust.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is right. However, with the current foundation of the Tang Dynasty, it may be possible to reach that level in time!"

Below the reviewing stand, there were the sound of war drums and fluttering flags.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.

It’s as if you can see that bright future through thousands of years of time and space.
