Inside Yilong Lake Palace

Li Fushou interviewed three young officers in the regiment position. He was very satisfied with the effect of the conversation. After seeing off the guests, he sat in the study and reviewed several documents. Then he put down his pen and walked to the sofa to sit down, holding a glass of red wine to taste it carefully.

There are several foreign newspapers on the coffee table, including the British "Times", the New York Times", the French "Figaro", the German "Frankfurt", the Australian "World Journal", etc., and some foreign monthly magazines. These are regularly arrived in Queensland by cruise ship packages. European newspapers and magazines are at least one month ago, and the United States is at least half a month ago.

By reading these newspapers and magazines, Li Fushou can clearly grasp the political, economic and military trends of the world today, understand the major international events, and control the pulse of the times.

Li Fushou was flirting with the newspaper casually, and suddenly was attracted by a news piece in the second page of the Times. He couldn't help but sit up and hold it in his hand to take it carefully.

According to Times;

In early 1884, prospecting experts discovered the world's largest Witwatersland Gold Mine (Rand for short) on a remote pasture between Pretoria and Val in the Transvaal Republic. Its gold mine reserves are extremely amazing, and the gold mine is shallow and has high grade. The deposits are intermittent and stretched through several mountains. This treasure land is simply "God's darling."

The Boers established Johannesburg on this gold mine. Profits and taxes from the gold mine allowed the economy of the Transvaal Republic to develop rapidly, but the British were unable to get a share.

The newspaper commented in the end of the first British-British War, which ended three years ago, accusing it of "London's stupidest mistake" and "a complete tragedy". This chosen land could have become Her Majesty's "new source of wealth" but now it has achieved "the Boers' carnival."

Between the lines, that kind of jealousy burst out...

Li Fushou couldn't help laughing as he looked at the news commentary. South Africa once again attracted the attention of London and Europe. This is not a good thing!

In today's world, justice and axioms are within the range of cannons.

Since the discovery of the Rand Gold Mine, the war has entered the countdown…

The Boers were really good at killing them. A few hundred thousand people dared to monopolize such a large gold mine, and even tried their best to exclude British businessmen. They were completely lost by huge wealth. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”?

In Li Fushou's impression;

The Boers are indeed awesome, with only hundreds of thousands of people and all the people.

If the original history had not changed, more than ten years later, the British Empire dispatched 400,000 troops to fight the war for two and a half years, spending 250 million pounds of war military expenses, and more than 20,000 casualties. It paid a huge price to settle the Boers.

This battle exposed Britain's glory after its Victorian glory, and has begun to decline. From various signs, the decline process has begun and is accelerating.

Thanks to the steam industrial revolution, Britain was the first country to enter industrialization. Traditional handicraft workshops were replaced by steam machinery with more labor efficiency, making Britain truly a world factory, producing huge amounts of steel, cotton, tobacco leaves, machinery and equipment and other industrial products dumped around the world, achieving glory of the Victorian era.

But since the 1860s

The emerging power and internal combustion engines triggered the second industrial revolution. This time, the dominant countries were Germany and the United States. They had unrivaled strength in this field, led the rapid economic development and quickly caught up with the leading British Empire.

Since its establishment in 1871, emerging industrial production has developed rapidly in a peaceful environment, ranking among the top among all powerful countries, and its total economic output is second only to Britain, the United States and France, ranking fourth.

If the current momentum develops, the total economic output of the United States is expected to surpass the British Empire within ten years, and Germany is expected to surpass France within five years and become one of the top three in the world, forming a trend of step by step.

In contrast, the UK

Due to the stubborn conservative forces' resistance to new production methods, new technologies and new processes, Britain was at a disadvantage in this economic competition. The development of electricity and internal combustion engine equipment lags far behind the United States and Germany, and the fatigue is revealed.

The only thing Britain is proud of is its huge economic output and its largest market in the world, and it can temporarily maintain the glory of the world's number one.

After putting down the newspaper, Li Fushou felt the joy of the pressure being shared.

His eyes looked to the West from afar, as if he had crossed the vast South Pacific and Indian Oceans to South Africa. This chosen land that would eventually become the focus was shrouded in a golden halo and was a treasure for which Europeans were celebrating.

Hehe... Let's have fun with you Boolean brothers, the things you have now saved are all the things you have in the British in the future.

Li Fushou saw that it was getting late, and it was already around 5 pm. He remembered that Tianniuer said at noon that he would wear French dresses with Xiangniuer tonight, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

I simply stood up and walked to the door, preparing to return to the back house as soon as possible to enjoy the endless spring scenery.

Just opened the door

Li Fushou saw Pan Shoudao, the general manager of the Central District, and Ma Xiangbo, the president of the Honghe Valley University, come together. He was surprised. What wind blows the two of them together?

Lei Xiaohu introduced him all the way forward. When he saw the Count pushing the door out, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately stood attentively with his legs "splitting" and saluting, and reported it; "Your Ma, General Manager Pan and Principal Ma have important things to see."

"I saw it, you go down." Li Fushou waved his hand and asked Lei Xiaohu to retreat, and welcomed the two gentlemen to come forward and said, "Brother Shoudao, Brother Xiang Bo, what wind blows you?"

"Yuan Ding, I was working in the business trip to Honghe Valley University. I happened to be caught by my brother Xiang Bo. I was sitting in the carriage and heard him talk about this. I didn't pay attention to it yet. I just came with it." Pan Shoudao explained with a smile.

Ma Xiangbo looked unhappy and said, "Sir, I want to do something more than to do strong advice."

"What a thing is happening to you... I'm not King Zhou of Shang!" Li Fushou chuckled when he heard this, and stretched his arm to ask. "Brother Xiang Bo, don't worry, please sit down and have a cup of tea and talk slowly. It's good that other people here don't have tea. Allen Johnson knows that come to me every now and then to fight the autumn wind."

"snort……"

Ma Xiangbo walked into the room with a cold face. Li Fushou looked at Pan Shoudao with some confusion. Seeing him shaking his head with a wry smile, the two of them followed him into the room.

Needless to say, a beautiful maid has served incense tea.

The three of them sat down. Before Li Fushou could greet him, Ma Xiangbo spoke impatiently; "His dignified Earl, Professor Alan Johnson from our university and several other professors made an application report, saying that he would go to Europe for public affairs at the time of dispatch of Lord Earl.

I saw that the application report was vague and the matter was very important, so I invited Professor Alan Johnson to ask for details.

After all, several famous professors have been there for many years, involving several departments of history and engineering. As the president, I have the responsibility to clarify one thing and two things and take comprehensive considerations to allow them to be allowed.

From Professor Alan Johnson, I realized that the Earl wanted to raise troops in Africa. This was simply...it was simply a military force!"

Li Fushou's face turned dark after saying a word. He silently picked up the teacup and took a sip, and waited for the old man Ma Xiangbo to finish his words before he could make a decision.

Ma Xiangbo looked at Li Fushou's unspeakable look and his momentum became more powerful. He said in anger, "The ancients said: War is a major event of a country, the way of life and death, and the place of survival and death must be observed.

Now we live in a foreign land in Australia, looking up to the British to live a life of silence. We should accumulate strength and develop ourselves silently, rather than provoking troops and provoking each other with force. This is not the doctrine of the mean.

The Count is a talented person who has made the Queensland prosperous, and is just lying on the industrial economy and making a fortune in the future.

The war was fierce and dangerous. The battles in the East Indies were costly and countless soldiers were killed or injured. It was finally easy to bring back the current situation of stability and peace.

Xiang Bo begs the Count to take good care of it and not cause trouble for small profits.

Lord Earl now has a territory of one million kilometers. If you don’t have a king, you will be king. It is enough to be powerful in Queensland!

Thinking about the fact that Black Africa is tens of thousands of miles away, the land is barren and the people are poor, why should we learn from foreigners to colonize other countries? This is not the way of a saint!

Xiang Bo is not for his own selfishness, but for the millions of Chinese people in Queensland. If the Count takes the liberty, the British and Western countries will be attracted by the British and Western countries, and I am afraid that the overall situation will hinder it, I beg the Count to think twice!”

Finished

Ma Xiangbo stood up and bowed to the ground.

Pan Shoudao was at a loss by his fierce actions and could only stand up and accompany him.

At this moment, he was extremely regretful. He didn't know that Ma Xiangbo's words would be so intense, so he just pointed at Li Fushou's nose and scolded the country and the people. He really shouldn't have accompanied Ma Xiangbo to do such a trick, and he was really killed by him!

Ma Xiangbo’s reason is very simple;

We cannot do what white people can do, because that is not the way of saints at home and abroad.

What's the bullshit reason?

The words reveal the tendency of blindly superstitious foreigners, such as "looking up to the British and living a life of silence", and "inducing everyone in the British and Western countries to look at each other, for fear that the overall situation will be hindered", which reveals the essence of licking dogs, and can't even straighten the waist in front of foreigners.

This really shocked Li Fushou. He didn't expect that the master of Chinese studies was essentially such a person, so it was a mistake to make him become the principal.

Li Fushou sat quietly on the sofa without saying a word, and fell into an awkward silence in the room. The invisible pressure grew every minute, making the atmosphere extremely solemn.

Pause for a while

Li Fushou said, "Brother Xiang, this is probably inappropriate?"

"Please tell me clearly." Ma Xiangbo still bowed to the ground.

"The policy trends are indeed related to the interests of millions of compatriots in Queensland. Brother Xiang Bo is a matter of course to advise him, but there is no need to force the palace to force him. He still sits down and drinks tea and talks, and expresses his own opinions as the right way."

"Xiang Bo's sincerity is clear. It is not easy for Lord Earl to operate this situation in Queensland. Xiang Bo cannot see that the big mistakes in his career will eventually lead to a disaster!"

"Bang..."

Li Fushou's anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but slam the table hard and "bang...", which scared Ma Xiangbo and Pan Shoudao, who was standing next to him, trembled all over.

"It's extremely stupid and stupid, it's simply not worth refuting."

Li Fushou rebuked loudly, and watched Ma Xiangbo's whole body start to tremble like a sieve, and he even more despised him. This old man is a political speculator who is arguing for his hard work and gains fame.

In words, I always work hard for your own good and for the welfare of millions of Chinese-American compatriots in Queensland, and dress myself up as a hypocritical image. The key is to put on a pig's nose and put on a green onion~ Who can eat it with you dipped in a sauce?

Li Fushou shouted sternly;

"What kind of mean or what kind of saints are all nonsense. They can be thrown into the garbage dump of history and rotten, and they can no longer adapt to the development of today's era.

The world is changing today, and the truth is only within the range of cannons. Foreigners are greedy and colonize the world, and often threaten them with force. They want to seek peace through compromise but peace is unavailable.

Hundreds of boats compete for the current and bravely take the lead.

In the face of huge historical opportunities, any retreat and tolerance is a crime against the nation, and any inaction is a shame for the superiors. If you do not advance in the torrent, you will retreat.

I think of my Chinese people in Queensland, who have awakened the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties in their bloodlines in one bloody battle after another, and regained the glory of the Han people's old days. They are beyond the waves of thousands of miles and should be one of the most powerful people in the South Pacific region.

What are you relying on?

It is not your doctrine of the mean and the words of the saints, but the successive sacrifices and heroic battles of the soldiers, the hard work of the workers, and the herdsmen grazing cattle and sheep on the lush pastures. These are the foundations for Queensland's strength.

Foreigners can colonize Africa, why can’t my Chinese children?

Do we have one leg or one courage than white people?

Sitting firmly in Australia and looking at the world from afar, watching the ups and downs of the tide is the ambition of a great hero and man, rather than being a dog that keeps his family safe.

Queensland will not rely on anyone to survive in the future. We must live a wonderful and heroic life, be motivated, and live a straight and self-respect, self-confidence and self-reliance. This is the iron-blooded gene left by our ancestors in our bloodline.

How could I measure my ambitions…”

Li Fushou looked at Ma Xiangbo's whole body shaking like a sieve, and big drops of sweat came out from his forehead. He threw a bunch of foreign newspapers in front of him with disgust and said coldly;
