1220 Greedy Tsarist Russia
"The problem is very sharp, very good. This is also the main reason why I had to do such a huge spy work before... I have to study the psychology of the enemy. It is not that easy for cunning big fish to take the bait. We must cleverly use their greed, fear, and arrogance..."
Xiao Letian had already entered the speech state. His eyes were bright and energetic, his hands were exaggerated and firm, his voice was extremely magical, and his aura had controlled the entire hall.
"Greedy! This is the original sin of mankind, and the Russians' greed at this moment is far more powerful and more powerful than other European powers. Why? Because they are poor..."
"The European CIA branch sent a lot of top-secret information to show that Russia's finances have reached a state of exhaustion. Although their abolition policy was implemented quickly, it was not thorough. Only on Western European territory can landlords get part of the debt for land purchases. Remember that it is only part of the debt..."
"In more remote areas, the abolition policy is basically forcibly promoted in the form of IOUs. Even in the more distant wild places, the local governors are too lazy to implement this policy... Everything is because the Tsar has no money and their treasury is empty..."
"In my opinion, the entire abolition policy is completely a state redemption act dominated by the Tsar, which is that the Tsar uses the state's finances to buy slaves from the landlords and then liberate them..."
"Is it very human, right? It's very fair and reasonable, right? When the serfs are liberated, the interests of the landlord class will not be greatly damaged. The entire empire escapes the danger of turmoil or even turmoil. Everything looks beautiful on the surface!"
Xiao Letian raised his left mouth and smiled badly, "But this beauty is ultimately just a rainbow after the rain. It is beautiful but has no practical significance. This policy even affects Russia's national interests. I am sure that Alexander II will definitely be respected by countless people because of the abolition policy in the future, and his reputation is at its peak, but his Tsarist Russian Empire is also destined to collapse because of his policy!"
The generals present looked around and couldn't understand what Xiao Letian meant, but Xiao Letian didn't keep it from being kept in touch and said coldly on the world map.
"Put off the empire's finances to liberate serfs, and even make financing loans from European bankers, and do not hesitate to put the country's credit on mortgages... This policy made the serfs and landlords profit, but Russia also lost the great opportunity for deep industrialization..."
"You don't have to be surprised. I can tell you an accurate data. As of last year, the huge Tsarist Russia across Europe and Asia, its national steel production was actually equated with the rising star Prussia!"
"The total railway mileage in Russia was actually overtaken by Prussia! The number of light and heavy industrial enterprises such as machinery manufacturing plants, shipyards, chemical plants, textile factories, etc., Prussia has surpassed Russia!"
"Everyone, what a terrible set of data is this? The territory of Prussia is less than one-tenth of Russia, but now the industrial output value has exceeded Russia. Isn't the problem here worthy of your deep consideration?"
"Haha, Alexander II looks like a hero on the surface, but from my perspective, he is actually a cautious and timid person! Humph, even the landlord class in the country dares to suppress it, wasting the great opportunity of the Second Industrial Revolution. If such a country can be passed down for three lifetimes, it will be considered as the sky..."
Xiao Letian was right. After Alexander II's death in history, the Tsar was indeed only passed down for two generations. At the hands of Nicholas II, the Great Revolution broke out and the Tsar's family was slaughtered.
"Why did US President Lincoln dare to engage in a cruel civil war? After all, the politicians themselves have different temperaments. The United States completely suppressed southern economies through a bloody civil war, and northern industrial capital began to expand wildly..."
"I'm sure that the US's potential is definitely greater than Tsarist Russia! Because a civil war has destroyed all the opposition forces, and the war seems to cost a lot, but compared with Alexander II's moderate redemption policy, war is actually an effective means with the lowest cost!"
"You think about it. After a civil war, the United States can spend money to buy Russian Alaska. This proves that although the American civil war has many deaths, it does not destroy wealth much. The country and the big capitalists still have sufficient funds to carry out the industrial revolution!"
"Isn't this a joke? The United States, which is proclaimed by freedom and democracy, chose to implement the new policy with war, while Russia, represented by the Tsarist dictatorship, actually chose to implement the new policy with peace of redemption? Damn, who is the brain that has a problem? I think history will always give the answer..."
Such a subtle explanation was really rare in the 19th century except Xiao Letian, and the limited number of people who knew this deep imperial technique would probably not take it out to share with their subordinates.
Therefore, Xiao Letian was the only awesome politician in the 19th century who was willing to share with his subordinates. This good habit became a cornerstone for the prosperity of Chinese talents in the future.
"Okay, stupid guys! Now you should be able to understand what it means to know people but not your heart? Sometimes, don't look at what the other party says, don't read superficial articles. Study a country without starting from its political system. Please start from the history of this country. Only in this way can you dig deep into the truth..."
"For example, a country that has been constantly rogue in history, no matter what its national system is, its democracy, republic, constitutional monarchy, or even imperial system... No matter how glamorous he is, in fact, a country that is used to being rogue will still be rogue in the future. It doesn't matter what clothes he wears!"
"We have said more than once that the world we are in is a critical period when the first industrial revolution is moving towards the second industrial revolution. Whoever can enter the country of the second industrial revolution first, whoever picks peaches first will naturally have a developed industry, a strong military, and a technological progress..."
"The battle between countries is ultimately about national strength! The Tsar does not understand this principle, or he does not have the courage to launch an internal revolution, so the war between him and us is destined to fail, because the demeanor pattern is not at the same level at all!"
"Now you understand, do you understand? Tsarist Russia, which is in a serious financial crisis, no longer has the right to be picky about food. He has to seize every life-saving straw. So they must get the gold on Amami Island. All we have to do is to amplify their greed step by step!"
