Chapter 641 A Country in Troubled Times

Because this world is somewhat similar to the earth, Bai Zhongqi became somewhat interested in it. The country of Dongtu also looks very similar to the country where I was born, but the historical process in the past few hundred years is different.

Bai Zhongqi walked on the streets of Li'an Mansion with some curiosity. This city has obviously been built for at least a hundred years. Not only the buildings with ancient cultural sentiments on the streets are preserved, but some of the roads and other facilities built also look relatively old.

Obviously, this city and this country ushered in a wave of modernization a long time ago, but it did not reach the top of the world's advanced level, but continued to hang around in the second-rate echelon.

Bai Zhongqi came to a very famous scenic spot in the city, Jinghu Park. Ten miles of weeping willows surround the lake, the flat lake is like a mirror, the lotus ponds and springs, plus the pavilions and pavilions of ancient buildings, are really a very good landscape.

There are not only beautiful scenery here, but also some social activists. Bai Zhongqi didn't know that Qingzhou had many institutions of higher learning and active thinking. Jinghu Park in Li'an Prefecture had also become a place for many progressive young people to talk and socialize.

In a small pavilion by the lake, an extremely thin-looking young man stood on the railing. He was wearing a dark blue school uniform with large lapels and a few pimples on his face. He looked extremely raw. In front of him, there were only a few people listening, but this did not hinder the enthusiasm of his speech.

"... The area outside the pass has been occupied by the Qikun people, but Dongfang Xun is busy fighting among himself, eliminating dissidents, and has no regard for the country's plans to resist foreign aggression. What a dynasty of Dongtu Shengde, which has been established for four hundred years, was actually defeated by the former Zuo'er The small country has bullied it to such an extent. The land area outside the customs is more than four times that of the four Gikon islands. It is thousands of miles fertile and rich in resources. The Gikun people have obtained the coal and iron mines in Liaozhou and the oil in Jinzhou. Heavy industry has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the industrial output value has Several times that of our Eastern Territory. Now the Gikun people are eyeing the enemy and repeatedly violating the border. Can the Great Wall stop the enemy's bombers? Can the Yansheng Pass block the enemy's destroyers? No! We, the citizens of Eastern Territory, should wake up and it's time to work hard. , no longer look up to the great powers, work hard to build national industry, strengthen the army and strengthen the country!"

Just as he was getting excited, several policemen in black leather jackets ran over.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? You are gathering a crowd to cause trouble. Get out of here! You are talking nonsense about the rights and wrongs of friendly countries. It will cause a diplomatic incident. Get out of here!"

The young man giving the speech was furious. He stood on the railing and shouted: "I am talking about saving the country, for the lives and well-being of hundreds of millions of compatriots in the East. Why can't we talk about this in our own land? You guys, are you Qi?" Kunren’s lackey?”

The leading policeman, who was wearing his police cap crookedly, pulled up his pants, pointed his baton at the young man, and shouted: "It would be great if I could be from Gikon. I can eat spicy food and drink spicy food. I don't have to suffer." How angry are you mud-legged people?"

Several students were excited when they heard the police's remarks, but they were just young men after all, and they couldn't stand up to these vicious police officers. After a short time, these students were driven away by the police.

The young student who just gave a speech was hit with several police batons and looked indignant.

Bai Zhongqi followed up and said to the young student, "That's a good lecture."

The young student was very happy when he saw a guy who looked like he was in his twenties, but had the temperament of his thirties or forties, praising him. He said, "It would be great if more people could realize the dangerous situation we are facing now." , when one person opens his eyes, millions of others will open their eyes, and if millions of people open their eyes, no one can bully a male clan like ours in the East."

Bai Zhongqi actually admired this young man somewhat. He had met many people, and he was able to distinguish between those who just talked and those who were willing to fight and sacrifice for their ideals.

Bai Zhongqi asked: "Can you tell me why our Eastern Territory has fallen to this point today?"

The young student's speech was interrupted just now, and now someone wants to continue listening, which makes him very encouraged. He said: "Our Eastern Shengde Kingdom once led the world, accounting for more than half of the world's total economic output. But since modern industry After the revolution began, the Eastern Territory began to decline. Western powers continued to invade our country, and also took away overseas lands such as El Hierro, forcing the Eastern Territory vassal countries to become their colonies. Our ancestors a hundred years ago were the first to open their eyes to the world and introduce modern times. Industry, however, has not yet been completely transformed.

After the World War, the world's forces were reshuffled, and Igor replaced Oakes as the world's hegemon. However, after the Bayer Revolution, development was extremely rapid, forming a confrontation between the two powers. Our country in the East is surviving in the cracks between the two powers, but there are constant wars in the country. During the Chunyuan Rebellion, because the official army had lost their combat effectiveness, they had to support local regiments to train and train their armed forces. Many warlords started to rebel from then on. Even Dongfang Xun became the prime minister because he supported the emperor. To put it bluntly, he was just a big man. Just a warlord.

Although the country has developed in the past thirty years, the flow of goods among warlords is inconvenient and it is exploited by the capital of the great powers. In contrast, other countries have made particularly rapid progress. With the support of the Ige Kingdom, Qi Kun is now powerful. Seeking to invade the hinterland of our country, occupy our country's human and natural resources, and challenge the current pattern of two powers competing for hegemony between the Ig State and the Bayer State. Now that they have invaded and occupied our country, Dongfang Xun is busy fighting his war to fight the rebellion, without paying any attention to the fact that the enemy is close at hand and the danger of the country's destruction is right in front of him! "

The young student became angrier and angrier as he talked. His eyes even turned red and he kept breathing heavily.

Bai Zhongqi asked: "So, it is because the country is divided and chaotic, which makes it impossible to mobilize the whole country to develop industries and improve national strength. Now we can only fall behind and be beaten?"

The young student's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, sir, you are right. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. For half a century, the separatist warlords have been passed down from generation to generation, and even several waves of people have changed. But in fact, they are basically the same Spokespersons of the Western powers. Prime Minister Dongfang Xun is currently backed by the Bayer Kingdom; Qingzhou Zhang Shixiong is the spokesperson of the Kaito Kingdom; Wuzhou Sun Yuweng is backed by the Qikun people; Yuezhou Lian Zhenyuan is entangled with the Okesi people. ; Han Fengju of Lingzhou, in order to win over Gao Ke people, all his wives married Gao Ke people.

Which of these people really wants to develop the country? Foreign capital comes in and invests in setting up factories, regardless of what our locals need. They are all light industry and low value-added products. They do not require tariffs and rely on our low labor costs to sell overseas and make a lot of money. In the end, we left no technology, no money, only workers who could barely afford to eat, and a devastated and environmentally destroyed hometown! "

This is obviously a somewhat heavy topic, although the eastern soil of Blue Star is much more advanced than Country C in World War II. However, Dongtu faced the same problem as Country C at that time, but the great powers changed their way of aggression.
