Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The problem was that he wanted to keep peeling away the skin layer by layer. As long as he thought along the lines of human nature and then dissected the camouflage layer by layer, he or she would be like the best surgical expert and remove the tumor that was hidden in his or her abdominal cavity.

Is there any friendship between countries? The answer was obviously no, unless the unsolvable problem that Xiao Letian mentioned before could be solved, and until the human race's technology and productivity could be raised to the point that it could satisfy all of the human race's desires, then maybe there wouldn't be a struggle.

It was obviously impossible. Perhaps two to three weak countries had used their blood to forge an unbreakable friendship in order to resist powerful enemies or ally with each other, but that friendship was based on fear, and the need for security was also a need of humans.

However, friendship did not exist among large countries, especially those of an international scale. Perhaps they had cooperated with each other in the short term, but from a historical perspective, conflict was the way to go.

"Xiang Ying, you did indeed calculate the additional increments from digging into the land's potential and adding technology into the industry. That's right, I also admit that such increments exist, and that there are quite a few of them!"

"But are humans really animals that live their lives in peace? Resources are just for living and living? War! You have to remember the war's consumption! "This is a terrifying bottomless pit in the future …"

"The higher the level of technology, the more reliant human wars are on resources. Billions of tons of steel becomes bullets and shells, and all sorts of resources become explosives and chemicals …"

"Humans fighting for resources are essentially no different from dogs fighting for food. Both sides who kill red-eyed enemies will squeeze the last bit of resources in the country to create a weapon to kill …"

"The land developed in times of peace has become barren, the ores have collapsed, the cities have been turned into ruins and millions of people have perished … Just how much resources would such a war consume and how many would be destroyed? "How do you calculate that?"

"Think about it carefully. This is also a bottomless pit that consumes the increments you all talk about. Also, I can be sure that a world-class war will happen in Europe in the future … Perhaps when we all have white hair, we will be able to see that day! "

Xiao Letian took a small sip of the wine, "First, the population expanded greatly, and then there was the war on a world scale. These are all places where the resources are being consumed more and more … Was there any other reason? "Of course there are!"

"Thirdly, there is a sudden disaster! Remember, the planet that we humans live on is not a peaceful place, disaster has always been with us, take the Irish Great Famine that was just talked about as an example, in the end, a potato epidemic directly killed more than a million people, causing more than a million people to be displaced from their homelands and become immigrants … "

"A disaster like this could happen at any time, which is to say that the sense of insecurity has been lingering in the hearts of humans. Maybe the people can eat until they are full, so they don't need to think about things that haven't happened in a long time, but politicians cannot think about it, the country's Leader cannot think about it …"

"You have to save for a good year, but you won't be at a loss for what to do in a bad year! Thus, even if we don't run out of resources, we still have to eat and stock up on them! "

Xiao Letian crossed his hands behind his head, and leaned comfortably on the back of his chair. "Are there any other answers? There must be! "Actually, the biggest problem is still human greed …"

"There is no end to enjoying this kind of thing. A hungry disaster victim can kowtow if he has a bowl of porridge, but a citizen who has solved the problem of being fed would only have eyes for meat!"

"Once the quality of life is improved, it will be very difficult to fall into it. It is so easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and so difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!" Humans who are used to living a blissful life, as long as the quality of life is slightly lower, he will curse his mother and the ruling Leader for their incompetence! "

"So, the increase in Earth's resources, and a large portion of it were consumed due to human greed. In the end, it's still not enough!"

"Do you still want the other answer? I have a fifth answer, do you want to listen to it? "

Xiang Ying and the rest were all confused, "There's still an answer?"

"Of course, all of you have to shut up once I toss out my last answer …" Xiao Letian said mysteriously.

"Human, human!" How to describe this animal... "Don't be surprised, I have always liked to call humans animals. Actually, what I mean is that humans are actually not as good as animals!"

"Lions and tigers want to eat meat because they have to live. They kill other animals because they are hungry. Lions and tigers have no other considerations than their hunger …"

"But humans are different. Many of their actions are very hard to explain with animal nature. For example, climbing!"

"For animals, being able to not starve to death every day, to have a sense of security, and to have females mate during estrus is enough. This is the happiness and happiness of animals …"

"But humans are different. The majority of human happiness and happiness comes from a competitive spirit! That's right, if you eat rice and flour every day, I will have meat for every meal because if I surpass you, my heart will feel superior! "

"What is happiness? It's like there's just a hole in the latrine, we're both anxious, I'm going to take over first … Then I will be happier than you! Happiness and happiness are actually based on comparison... "

"A merchant with a million dollars will definitely feel that he is not as happy as a mega-merchant with a million dollars. Although his wealth is already enough to let a city's beggars eat without worry …"

"The same goes for people, families, businesses, and even countries... Britain's richest nation is confident, but there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in his country, too. But even the poorest beggar in Britain would think he is happier and more noble than the native black people of Africa … "

"The reason is very simple, because he knows that he lives in the world's most powerful country! There is no country on this earth that has surpassed them, so even if he is unlucky compared to the British capitalists, he is very happy compared to the other weak countries … "

"If you understand this logic, then you will understand what I'm trying to say. In the global resource allocation game, no one will cower. Even if he's already full of fat people, he still can't control his own mouth!"

"In order to maintain the position of number one or perhaps the top ten, for the happiness that comes from competing …" These European powers will not give China any chance to become rich and strong! "

Xiao Letian looked around, and in the end, his gaze focused on Zai Chun as he said softly, "Your Majesty! Do you still believe in English friendship? "
