Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"We humans live on Earth, all of our survival depends on this planet. Earth provides all the resources for us humans to live on …"

"Air, sunlight and water, these are resources that humans can use for free. Apart from these, all other life-support resources require us to work hard to obtain them from Earth …"

"But you must remember one big premise, and that is that resources are bound to be limited and not distributed evenly!"

"I will repeat my important words three times. I must remember that the resources are limited, limited, and limited!"

"Renewable resources, such as food, cotton, wool, meat … "It looks like there will be output every year, and it will always be the same. But don't forget that annual production is restraining humans, so from this point, there is a fierce competition for renewable resources …"

"As for non-renewable resources, there's no need to talk about that. Gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and oil, you can dig a little less out of these things. The more the Chinese use, the less the Europeans use, this is the law of iron!"

"So everything comes together into one sentence. You can reprint your money if you don't have the money, but you can't replenish as much of your resources as you want. This is an eternal conflict between the human race and the Earth!"

"Zai Chun! So that theory of yours is not valid, because the Europeans have already studied the problem! Their hearts are full of egoism, and any threat to their country will be strangled! "

"How large is the population base in China? How much food, how much meat, how much gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and oil would these people need if they reached the standard of living of the common people in Britain? "This is not just a small amount, it is a terrifying astronomical figure. Such a large amount of resources is bound to consume the meat on the European plates!"

"Zai Chun, I ask you? Don't you want the people of the Great Qing to live a life of prosperity similar to that of the people of Europe? "

"Yes, even in my dreams!" Zai Chun's eyes lit up.

"Then you have to remember this. You don't need to shout for the citizens to live a good life, but for the rice noodles in the bowls, for the meat on the plates, for the cannons and battleships to protect the safety of the citizens …"

"And these things did not come from the heavens for nothing. Everything needed to be maintained using various resources, whether regenerated or not! That brings us back to the question I just mentioned, where the allocation of resources is the root of all conflicts in the human world! "

Zai Chun silently nodded his head, his master's words had really shocked him. This world was so hypocritical, Western politicians used friendly and beautiful words to create a fake curtain that only opened a small corner, and the cruelty and blood that flowed behind it was so hair-raising.

"In other words... Does Master mean that as long as I am strong and powerful, Britain will surely make an enemy of me? "

Xiao Letian silently nodded his head, "It's not that Daqing will become your enemy once he becomes strong, but that he will need to control more resources on Earth in order to become strong. This is the main reason why they have no choice but to be enemies …"

At this moment, the entire cabin became silent. Everyone was thinking about this heavy topic.

Xiao Letian's thoughts suddenly drifted to his previous life, that was a time where China had already entered into an era with abundant resources. People in this era did not dare imagine how rich China, which had walked out of the late Qing's marsh for a hundred years, was.

But there are hidden dangers under the golden age, and the continued expansion of the country's power and the growing desire of its people have given China a feverish thirst for resources.

In those days, almost everything Chinese needed was a price hike, oil, steel, color, food... The huge appetite of the Chinese frightened the world.

Fortunately, at that time, China already had sufficient military power to defend itself, which was why it was able to ensure the security of its own country. Otherwise, the war would have already begun just like China, who was plundering resources internationally.

It was at that time that there was a strange remark in society that a lot of people with ulterior motives were doing everything in their power to confuse the minds of the Chinese.

They cut off the national feelings of the people, create internal contradictions, and divert all sources of unhappiness from life. One of the most classic accusations is that China's internal distribution is unreasonable and unfair.

True, there were indeed cases of distribution being unreasonable and unfair in China during that era, but why the f * ck couldn't they just avoid it?

Europe and the United States accounted for more than half of the world's resources, particularly oil, which was the cornerstone of the post-World War II world economy.

The bulk of these resources were controlled by the US and Europe, while the rest of the world could only get a small portion of leftovers before accusing others of being inequitable in their distribution?

Please, if we don't have enough resources, how can we split it equally? To be fair, do you have to make sure that there is something you can share? Isn't this something even primary school students understand?

You have to have a sufficient number of apples to get the whole class to eat one apple each, don't you?

After all, you can't just take a whole basket of apples from one person and accuse us of sharing one apple per class, and even say that our distribution is unfair, right?

A thousand words could be said, 'Anyone who accuses others of inequitable distribution, and not a Real Gold and Silver of giving up resources, is a hooligan!'

The politicians of the United States and Europe were all screaming and blaming the various problems in Chinese society. All the accusations were concentrated together into one sentence, "Your distribution is unreasonable."

True, we have to admit that this is the case, but when you accuse China, when you act like a savior and a world policeman, shouldn't you offer some dry goods to help a bunch of poor Chinese?

Other than that, what about the 5% annual oil quota you control? You don't need to give it to me for free. How about the price of your pre-Gulf War futures contract?

And the gold, silver, non-ferrous metals that China desperately needs... How about 10% of your pot share?

What? You won't give it to me? Why are you wasting your breath on me?

Just like what he said just now, a single person like you would occupy a basket of apples. Don't blame our class for eating a poor student who shared an apple.

Xiao Letian let out a long sigh and said, "Don't trust the smiles of those hypocrites. When they point out all kinds of opinions regarding your regime, please think for a moment, do they really give you any resources?!"

"Don't even mention money, sometimes money in this world might not even be able to buy resources that are urgently needed for the country's development. Only a strong military power and economy can ensure national security if they walk together!"

After saying that, Xiang Ying suddenly raised his head and spoke in a confused manner: "I admit that Master is right, but I still have two questions in my mind, I hope Master can help me resolve them …"

"First of all, there are two types of resources: renewable and non-renewable. The renewable resources are the plants and animals that we know of, such as food, cotton, and so on … Can all this be done through redevelopment of land? That is to say, the total amount can be increased. Since the total amount can be increased, why do you still say that there must be a conflict? "

"And then there are the unborn resources, gold, silver, copper, iron, all kinds of black and non-ferrous metals, and the oil resources that the Führer has always cared about …" Indeed, if these items are used slightly less, in the long run, they will definitely be in the middle of a trend of decreasing consumption! "

"But this period of time will definitely be very long. In a short period of time, can't we use technology to increase our production capacity and increase our total?"

"Since the total amount can be increased, can't we avoid such a basic conflict?"
