This article by Mo Lian Guangsheng soon became a hot topic in the upper class in the UK.

Yes, since the end of the 19th century, the rapidly developing German economy has gradually eroded the overseas market of the British Empire by relying on its superior technical level and reliability, and has even entered the country of the British Empire. From London to Mumbai, to the Near East, Far East, Australia, German goods and British goods competed fiercely. After William II ascended the throne, Germany began a huge shipbuilding plan... Germany gradually began to build an efficient merchant fleet, transporting German goods to all over the world, transporting various raw materials and agricultural products back, and the German economy also expanded like a blow.

But what's even more terrifying is the United States.

This British Empire's rebellious son occupied the unique material conditions of the New World, and used an open and vibrant social mechanism to become a paradise for European residents. After reaching national unity through the Civil War, the power of the United States of America began to extend from the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the east coast of the Pacific, and even began to stretch its tentacles to Southeast Asia.

This country with vast land, rich resources, large population, advanced culture and superior systems is more like a powerful European power, who is struggling between tradition and reality at all times, and is more like an unreasonable cowboy. He runs towards the destiny throne according to his own wishes without hesitation, and his steel, coal, oil, major industrial products, railway mileage, and total economic output have left the traditional European power far behind. Although British capital has also gained huge benefits through investment in the United States, in the face of such an economic troll, especially when America began to build a great white fleet of sixteen main warships in five years at an astonishing speed, and declared an absolute hegemony to the Americas with an imperialist war, and issued the "Roosevelt's inference", even the calmest British gentleman had to start looking with a vigilant.

Now, the Eastern Empire, which was originally not very eye-catching and often used to talk with India and Japan, has jumped to become the Eastern Empire that surpassed Russia, shining on the entire Asia, and even made the originally tame Indians begin to rejoice and produce some unrealistic "Asianism" illusion.

Although the country's main power defeated the French colonial army twice more than 20 years ago, it was a small part of the power facing France, and more importantly, behind them was Britain, and it was Britain who defeated France, not them!

But now, facing Russia and Japan, which are invading the country, this Eastern country has completely stepped on the other side with an undisputed victory.

The terrifying power they showed, the perfect development and application of various new inventions over the past decade, the various new tactics adopted, especially the combination of modern military science with traditional military strategies, have produced such a terrible chemical change, making a country that was once regarded as a second-rate country, and even automatically omitted the word "empire" when called, become modern Germany in the East, and their population is ten times more than Germany and twenty times more territory!

Originally indulged in the glory of the Victorian era, he was jealous and despised at the rapidly rising Germanic bull and the somewhat reckless cousin of Angles. He occasionally made some comments mixed with sourness and superiority to show his inherent strength and glory, and finally began to carefully read the information and carefully examine the newly emerging Eastern country.

Last year, in 1904, the country's crude steel production reached 1.7 million tons, ranking sixth in the world: coal production 44 million tons, second only to the United States, Britain and Germany: railway mileage of 450,000 kilometers, ranking fifth: merchant ship total tonnage of 1.7 million tons, ranking fourth.

What is even more important is that the country's territory is close to 12 million square kilometers, and it lives in 450 million people! No matter what scale is used, the population of the main ethnic group exceeds 90%!

In terms of military, the country's naval tonnage has jumped to the second in the world, far exceeding the US and German navies. There are still a large number of hulls on their ships being intensively constructed, and a large number of advanced warships are being installed in the shipyards across the country. In another year to one and a half years, this country will establish an absolute maritime advantage in the East!

Their geopolitics are unique.

In their north, Russia has obviously suffered trauma that is difficult to heal, while Japan has been controlled by them. North Korea has been their vassal state since ancient times, and the Chinese forces in the South China Sea are changing with each passing day, and they are closely related to all aspects of the Chinese Empire. They can even be considered as the tentacles of this Eastern Empire extending into the South China Sea!

To their south, their army had entered Siam. This ancient South Asian country, which had been maintaining a balance between Britain, France and China, and later gradually became a bargaining chip for the British Empire. Faced with the powerful Chinese army, the Chinese people, who accounted for 20% of their population, had fled to Annan and Yunnan provinces of the Chinese Empire because of the anti-Chinese government of the Siam military government. Now they actively participated in the troops, serving as guides and responsible for logistics, and using their familiarity with Siam's geographical, hydrological and cultural conditions, became an important assistant to the Chinese Empire to control Siam.

In the southwest, the autonomy and demilitarization pattern of Tibet reached by the secret agreement between China and Britain and Tibet was directly broken by the Chinese Empire due to the Tibetan rebellion. A large number of Chinese troops crossed mountains and rivers. From the east, the southeast, Yunnan and Qinghai in the north, Xinjiang entered Tibet, sweeping the rebellious and unstable lamas, slave owners, reorganizing local governments, and even publicly confiscated the property of rebellious temples, abolishing the privileges of slave owners, confiscated land, blatantly destroying the serfdom and the integration of politics and religion that had been passed down in Tibet for thousands of years, and began to establish a strong grassroots regime in accordance with its own model.

The Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, the leader of the integration of local politics and religion in Tibet, have announced that they will go to Beijing to worship the imperial emperors, discussing matters related to strengthening Tibet’s relations with the mainland and accelerating the construction of a new Tibet.

The rapid transformation of Siam's "lost" Tibet is equivalent to opening up the English-stricken India portal. In India, the Congress party's envy and closeness for China has been completely open. An unprecedented "China fever" has been set off among Indian intellectuals and the Venezuelan class.

Various discussions on the Chinese revolution, discussing the future of Asia, including discussing the present and expounding the cultural exchanges between China and India in history, have come one after another, making the British elite who always believe that the British Empire is the most powerful empire in the world, and even believe that the British government who accepts the fire of civilization brought by the British Empire and accepts the "advanced" cultural and economic leadership are "natural" Indian elites, and have begun to see another model and another path.

"Go to China" has changed from a slogan to the practical action of young Indian intellectuals.

Faced with the ever-changing situation, Muslim thinkers of British India, Muslim thinkers, Jinnah, the leader of the Congress party, Tirak, and even the leader of the faction, Gandhi, all contacted forces and began to secretly connect. The newly-served governor of British India, the so-called "Deputy King of India"1

The fourth generation of the Count of Minto, Gilbert, Jiliot, Murray, and Kining, have repeatedly sent dates to London, demanding additional troops and warships and issued tough decrees.

Sir Kitchener, commander-in-chief of the British Army in India, said, "If the Chinese army invades India after the end of the Northern War, India may revolt and will fall within half a year."

All of this depicts a terrible future: millions of Chinese troops, from the Himalayas, the border between Annan and Yunnan provinces in China, Siam, and the tides poured into England and India and Malaya, and the local indigenous people and Chinese people would respond in groups. In the South Ocean, millions of tons of Chinese warships cut the waves, swept away the old and weak Far East fleet of Britain, as well as the old warships of the Netherlands and Spain, covering the elite Chinese Marines landed everywhere, and with the cooperation of the Chinese armed forces, they occupied the entire South Ocean in one fell swoop, and then set off from New Guinea to Australia and New Zealand, completely overturning the entire British Empire's rule in the East.

Subsequently, they may establish a series of protectors of Chinese and Asian nations, and then move westward. Afghanistan, Bos, British Iraq, these places cannot stop the Chinese military boots. This Eastern Germany will eventually occupy the entire Asia and establish a huge empire of their own to compete with the entire Western world!

The British elite dominated by fear and anger finally shouted out: How did all this happen? Who caused the British Empire to face such a terrible future?

It is a long-term free trade.

It is a wrong policy that harms oneself to support a potential empire.

It is a foreign policy of the past Conservative Party cabinets doing nothing.

It was the remains of raising tigers that Disney began, the wrong policy of the Belford Cabinet, the clumsy of the Boer War, and the sad and short-sighted treaty of the Sino-British Alliance!

The angry British elite began to discuss in a small scale in the form of salons, but in the end it was simply a semi-public incitement, and even within the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, they began to bring it out as a formal issue.

At this time, Moertang Lian's second major article was published in the newspaper again, and a thousand scoundrels of waves were caused by one stone.

"…As gentlemen of England, we must not only be vigilant about the rise of a new empire, especially such rapid and rapid rise, but also to shift the blame to the weak policies of the previous government. We must also carefully analyze its powerful internal factors. "There is a saying in China that is called "learning the skills of the foreigners to control the skills of the foreigners. I think this sentence can also be modified to "learning the skills of the Chinese to control the Chinese."

"Maybe for many gentlemen, these backward, decadent, and conservative Eastern cultures are nothing worth learning. Perhaps many people will suggest that the reason why this empire rose was because it learned advanced European civilization and directly received si-free assistance from the British Empire. But we have to admit that this new empire was able to go through hundreds of years of civilized development in just thirty years and jump into the first-class power. There must be many unique features."

"…The power of this country lies in the fact that its founders gathered the country together with powerful military, political and cultural forces and united under a powerful imperial government. They ended the state of splitting under the rule of the target and local governments, and they abolished the economic policies of harming neighbors among various parts of the empire and broke the rural concept. They established various powerful organizational systems and closely united the entire empire from all aspects. In this war, they used this system to strongly mobilize all the potential of the entire country, thus demonstrating its powerful power."

,……… Their economic fast-frozen takeoff, although with the help of vast territory, numerous populations and abundant resources, their wise and efficient policies are important factors that cannot be ignored. Let us further summarize, the strength of Germany is based on their unification of the originally divided Central European land and a large number of states, and established a central authoritarian system. The rapid development of the United States is also inseparable from the Civil War, which unified the well-being countries and established a powerful federal state." “All this reminds me again and again that the British Empire, in this giant race, was gradually shortened by the rising giants, and even began to catch up. Is the root of the root lies in our loose imperial system and the authoritarian government of the free and willingness?" “This era is different from the original British peace period.

The new empires rose one after another, and they established a powerful and unified central government, adopted the policies of trade protection and colonization and industry, guided by commerce and maritime power, guaranteed military development with industry and commerce, and became a guarantee for expanding commercial interests with strong military power." "When these powerful empires were competing for regional and even world dominance with the power of their entire nation, where is Britain?" "1 year later, we established the first autonomous territory in Canada. From then on, the British in Canada had internal autonomy and trade autonomy, they had their own army, and even had a certain degree of diplomatic autonomy. They had offices in major countries to deal with diplomatic matters. In addition to declaring war, this was already an independent country." "In 1901, we put Australia

The six colonies formed into the Commonwealth of Australia, helping the British Australians establish the domination and enjoy the same rights as Canada." "In this way, we took the initiative to disintegrate our empire step by step. When other powerful countries gradually gathered to call a powerful unified force, we, the British, were dismantling our empire with their own hands: When other powerful economies seized every minute of absorbing the flesh and blood of the British Empire through trade protectionism, we granted the dominant trade autonomy, adhered to the free trade system, and opened our market to potential competitors: When various powerful countries quickly established strong armies, honed their bayonets in repeated wars, and even began to spy on the British Empire's territory around the world, we were dismantling the empire into small countries, making ourselves looser and looser."

"As a citizen of the British Empire, I have to ask the question: when the development of the times is as clear as the flow of the Thames, when all the rise of powers has already disappeared, the only truth, when our once powerful empire is gradually disintegrating and decline under inappropriate policies, what are you doing in the ministers of England, generals of England, and even all the gentlemen of England?" This article finally deeply shocked the arrogant British.

In just two days, in London's taverns, high-end salons, high-class dining parties, noble castles, racecourses, and even parliamentary venues, there were scenes of discussing policy changes in the British Empire and arguing about trade policies. Conservative party cadres with serious expressions, heartbroken Liberal Party elites, red-faced veterans, and worried industrial and commercial giants were all involved in this unprecedented debate with all kinds of thoughts.

The former Indian Governor Curzon, who has always appeared as the toughest British imperialist, was applauded after reading this article and immediately sent a telegram to London, suggesting revising the trading system, establishing a customs alliance to protect the xing customs, and strengthening the unified authority of the colonies and autonomous lords within the empire. He even proposed to establish a real federal state in the form of an imperial parliament.

〖Liberal Union Party leader rigorously criticized the Belfort Cabinet, insisted on trade protectionism, opposed giving more autonomy to the colonies, and advocated the establishment of a powerful imperial federation to adapt to the reality of the "imperial era" when the great powers fought for hegemony, Joseph and Sir Chamberlain immediately wrote an article to respond.

Chamberlain clearly stated that in this era when the strong prey on the weak and national self-determination arose, the "free empire" policy adopted by the British Empire will eventually lead to the collapse of the British Empire, and restore Britain to an international status commensurate with the British Isles and become a second-rate country. To ensure the British Empire's status as a great power, the British Empire must use a strong customs alliance, centralization and unite, build an authoritarian government, and gradually cultivate a unified pan-British nation, firmly integrate various colonies and autonomous territories, and turn Britain into a unified country with a large population, vast land, rich resources and strong military power.

In the article, Chamberlain depicts the face of this powerful empire with emotion: it has a population of 500 million, 34 million square kilometers, and a land all over the world. It has the richest resources in the world. Within its territory, Canadian agricultural products and minerals, Australian and New Zealand livestock products, South Africa's diamonds and gold, British iron ore, anthracite and industrial products, and Indian textiles and tea are circulated freely. The assets are circulated within the British Empire, building factories, mines, and developing the economy. Foreign, the empire adopts unified tariffs to protect the interests of its own industry, commerce and the people.!
