Chapter 386 Suffering

  Yilonghu Palace

Li Fushou interviewed three young regiment officers. He was very satisfied with the effect of the conversation. After sending the guests away, he sat in the study and reviewed a few documents, then put down his pen and walked to the sofa to sit down with a glass of red wine. Taste carefully.

There are several foreign-language newspapers on the coffee table, including the British "The Times", the American "New York Times", the French "Le Figaro", the German "Frankfurt", the Australian "World Journal", etc., as well as some foreign monthly magazines. These are all regularly arriving in Queensland via cruise parcels. The newspapers and magazines in Europe are at least a month ago, and the United States is at least half a month ago.

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

  Li Fushou was reading the newspaper carelessly, and was suddenly attracted by a piece of news in the second edition of The Times, and he could not help but sit up and take it in his hand to read it carefully.

  According to the Times;

In early 1884, prospecting experts discovered the world’s largest Witwatersrand Gold Mine (referred to as the Rand Gold Mine) on a remote pasture between Pretoria and the Waal River in the Transvaal Republic. Rand), its gold deposits are extremely astonishing, and the gold deposits are shallow, high-grade, and the deposits stretch intermittently with several mountains. This treasure land is simply "God's darling".

  The Boers established Johannesburg on this gold mine. The profits and taxes from the gold mine enabled the rapid development of the economy of the Transvaal Republic, but the British had no chance to get a share of the pie.

The newspaper commentary finally questioned the first British-Berg war that ended three years ago, accusing it of “London’s stupidest mistake” and “a total tragedy”. This heavenly chosen place could have become Her Majesty’s.” New financial resources" have now become "Boer's carnival".

  In between the lines, the unconcealable jealousy gushes out...

  Li Fushou couldn’t help but smile when he watched the news reviews. South Africa once again attracted the attention of London and all of Europe. This is not a good thing!

  In today’s world, justice and axioms are within the range of a cannon.

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

  The Boers are so serious about their work that they dared to monopolize such a large gold mine with a population of hundreds of thousands. They even tried to squeeze out British businessmen. They were completely overwhelmed by the huge wealth. I really don’t know how to write the word “dead”?

  In the impression of Li Fushou;

  The Boers are really awesome, and hundreds of thousands of people are all soldiers.

  If the original history has not changed, more than ten years later, the British Empire dispatched 400,000 troops to fight the war for two and a half years, costing 250 million pounds of war military expenditures, and casualties as high as 20,000 people. He paid a huge price to balance the Boers.

  This battle exposed the glory of Britain after the Victorian era, and it has begun to decline. From the analysis of various signs, this decline process has begun now and is accelerating.

Thanks to the steam industrial revolution, Britain was the first country to enter industrialization. Traditional hand-crafted workshops were replaced by more efficient steam machinery, making Britain truly a world factory, producing huge amounts of steel, cotton, and tobacco. Machinery and equipment and other industrial manufactured goods were dumped around the world, making the Victorian era glorious.

  But since the 1860s

  Emerging electricity and internal combustion engines triggered the second industrial revolution. This time the leading countries are Germany and the United States. They have unmatched strength in this field, leading the rapid economic development, and quickly catching up with the leader of the British Empire.

  Since the German Empire was founded in 1871, new industrial production has developed rapidly in a peaceful environment, and its economic growth rate ranks among the strongest countries. The total economic volume is second only to the three countries of Britain, the United States and France, ranking fourth.

  If it develops according to the current momentum, the total economy of the United States is expected to surpass the British Empire in ten years, and Germany is expected to surpass France in five years and become the top three in the world, forming a trend of pressing.

  Looking back at the UK

  Because of the stubborn conservative forces resisting new production methods, new technologies and new processes, Britain has fallen behind in this economic competition. The development of electric power and internal combustion engine equipment is far behind the United States and Germany, and the fatigue is manifested.

  The only thing the UK is proud of is its huge economic aggregate and the largest market in the world. It can also hold onto the world’s first glory for the time being.

   Putting down the newspaper, Li Fushou felt the joy of being shared.

  His gaze is far away to the west, as if crossing the vast South Pacific and Indian Ocean to South Africa. This heavenly place that will eventually become the focus is shrouded in a golden halo, and it is a treasure trove for all Europeans.

  Hey...Have fun, Boer brothers, the homes you save now will be in the bag of the British.

  Look at Li Fushou that it was late, it was already around 5 pm, remembering that Sweet Niu had said at noon that he would wear a French dress with Xiang Niu in the evening, and his heart couldn't help but become hot.

   Simply stood up and walked to the door, ready to return to the back house earlier to enjoy the boundless spring scenery.

  Just opened the door

  Li Fushou saw the central district governor Pan Shoudao and the president of Red River Valley University Ma Xiangbo come in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What brought the two together?

  Lei Xiaohu was introduced all the way in front. Seeing Master Earl opened the door, he was stunned. He immediately saluted and saluted with his legs.

   "I saw it, go down." Li Fushou waved Lei Xiaohu to retreat, and welcomed the two gentlemen forward and said; "Brother Shoudao, Brother Xiang, what brought you here?"

"Yuan Ding, I went to Honghe Valley University for business, and I was caught by Brother Xiang. I was sitting on the carriage and heard him say this. I haven't got my eye on it yet. Get up." Pan Shoudao explained with a smile.

  Ma Xiangbo looked unhappy, and opened his mouth and said; "Master Earl, I want to do something that is more admonishment."

"The matter of Bigan... I'm not the King of Shang Zhou!" Li Fushou chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and extended his arms. It’s very good without tea. The fellow Allen Johnson knows that he comes to me every other day to catch the autumn breeze."

"Humph……"

  Ma Xiangbo walked into the room first with a cold face. Li Fushou glanced at Pan Shoudao with a little doubt. Seeing him shook his head with a wry smile, the two followed him into the room.

   Needless to say, there has long been a beautiful maid serving fragrant tea.

The three were divided into guests and the host. Before Li Fushou could greet him, Ma Xiangbo said in a hurry; "Your Excellency Earl, Professor Allen Johnson from our university has made an application report with several other professors. , Yan Dao should be dispatched by Lord Earl and will go to Europe for business affairs.

  I saw that the language of the application report was unclear, and I was very interested, so I invited Professor Alan Johnson to ask about the reasons.

  After all, once a few famous professors have gone through years, they involved several departments of history and engineering. As the principal, I have the responsibility to clarify one or two, and then let them go through comprehensive consideration.

  From the mouth of Professor Alan Johnson, I learned that Lord Earl intends to promote Africa. This is simply...it’s a brutal force! "

   Li Fushou's face turned black when he said a word, he silently took a sip from his teacup, and waited for the old man Ma Xiangbo to finish his words before making a decision.

  Ma Xiangbo looked at Li Fushou's silent state, and said with greater aura and angrily; "The ancients said: The important events of the soldier's country are also the way of death and life, and the place of survival and death must not be ignored.

  Now that I live in a foreign land in Australia, looking up to the British, we should quietly accumulate our strength to develop ourselves, and it is not suitable to provoke soldiers and add force at every turn. This is not a modest way.

  Earl’s talents are talented, and the Queensland world is well managed, and he is just immersed in the industrial economy, taking advantage of the good times of today to earn a rich family foundation, in order to plan for the future.

  The warfare is fierce and dangerous. The battle of the East Indies was costly, and the soldiers were killed and injured. It was hard to bring back the current stable and peaceful situation.

  Sang Uncle urges Lord Earl to take care of it and refrain from causing troubles for petty gains.

  Lord Earl now has a territory of millions of kilometers. It is not a king but a king. It is enough to have a world of power in Queensland!

  Think about the black Africa tens of thousands of miles away, the barren land and the poor people, why bother learning to colonize other countries by foreigners, this is not the way of a saint!

  The uncle is not for his own selfishness, but for the millions of Chinese people in Queensland who are anxious about me. If Lord Earl takes the liberty of actions to provoke the attention of the British and the Western countries, I am afraid that the overall situation will be hindered, I implore Lord Earl to think twice! "

   finished

  Ma Xiangbo stood up and reached the ground.

  Pan Shoudao was so overwhelmed by his fierce behavior that he could only stand up and accompany him.

  At this moment, he was extremely regretful in his heart. He didn't know that Ma Xiangbo's words would be so fierce, so he almost pointed to Li Fushou's nose and cursed the country and the people. He really shouldn't accompany Ma Xiangbo to engage in this moth. He really killed him!

  Ma Xiangbo’s reason is simple;

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

  What kind of **** is this?

The talk reveals a tendency to blindly believe in foreigners, such as "looking up to the British and living with a stalemate", or "getting the attention of the British and the people of Western countries, for fear of hindering the overall situation", revealing the essence of licking a dog, in front of the foreigners. Can't straighten up.

  This really made Li Fushou's eyes stunned. I didn't expect that the master of Chinese learning was essentially this kind of person. It would be a mistake to let him be the principal.

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

  Pause for a meeting

  Li Fushou said, "Brother Xiang Bo, is it wrong to do this, right?"

  "Please indicate, Lord Earl." Ma Xiangbo still reached the ground.

  "Policy trends are indeed related to the interests of millions of people in Queensland. It is only natural for my brother to be admonished, but I don’t need to do such a forceful act. I should sit down and drink tea to talk and express my views."

   "The sincere heart of the uncle Xiang can be learned from the blue sky. It is not easy for the Lord Earl to manage this situation in Queensland. The uncle Xiang cannot see the big mistakes, and it will eventually lead to disaster!"

"Snapped……"

   Li Fushou's heart surged, and he couldn't help but slapped the table fiercely with a "pop..." sound, scared Ma Xiangbo and Pan Shoudao, who was standing next to him, shivering.

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

  Li Fushou exclaimed aloud, watching Ma Xiangbo start to tremble like a sieve, and despise him even more in his heart. This old man is a political speculator, arrogantly gaining fame with bitter advice.

  In the words, it’s for your good. To the well-being of millions of Queensland Chinese compatriots, to dress yourself up as a decent image, the key is to put green onions in the nose of the pig. Who can eat you in the sauce?

  Li Fushou shouted sharply;

  "What the golden mean and the way of the saints are all nonsense, which can be thrown into the garbage dump of history to rot, and it has long been unable to adapt to the development of the current era.

  Today's world is changing. Truth is only within the range of the cannon. Foreigners are greedy and colonize the world indefinitely. They threaten the world with force at every turn. They want to compromise to seek peace and peace is not available.

  Baige strives for the courage to be the first.

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

Thinking of my Queensland Chinese sons and daughters, they have awakened the blood of the Han and Tang Dynasties in one **** battle after another, and regained the glory of the Han people in the old days. Buwei is beyond the waves of thousands of miles, and is regarded as the strongest in the South Pacific region. one.

What does    rely on?

   is not your doctrine of the mean and the words of the saints, but the sacrifices and heroic battles of the soldiers, the hard work of the workers, and the herdsmen grazing cattle and sheep on the beautiful pastures. These are the foundations that make Queensland strong.

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

  Are we one less leg than white people or one less courage?

   Sitting firmly in Australia and looking at the world, watching the ebb and flow of the situation is the ambition of the hero, not a dog that keeps the house.

  Queensland will not rely on anyone to live in the future. We must live wonderfully and vigorously. We must live singularly. We must stand up straight to live with self-esteem and self-confidence. This is the iron-blood gene left in our blood by our ancestors.

  How can the ambition in my chest be measurable..."

  Li Fushou looked at Ma Xiangbo shaking like sifting, big drops of sweat popping out from his forehead, and throwing a pile of foreign-language newspapers in front of him with disgust, said in a cold voice;

"Presumably Mr. Ma is still not able to read foreign language newspapers fluently. Take these newspapers back and read them for yourself. I will tell you when you understand them. Since your current state is not suitable for continuing to serve as the president of Red River Valley University, you can submit your resignation later. , Go back and live your own peaceful life."

   Li Fushou snorted coldly, looked at Pan Shoudao, who was pale and blue, and was upset, and whispered; "Go and do your own work when you have nothing to do. Don't mix everything up."

  "Lord Earl forgive me, I will rush back to Matsue City overnight."

   "Go ahead."

  Li Fushou finished talking and walked away, leaving only the two people in the room looking at each other.

  Pan Shoudao was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but sigh; "Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, I was really killed by you."

   After finishing speaking, he shook his head and left, leaving only Ma Xiangbo as if he had lost his soul. At the beginning, the enthusiasm that pretended to be better than hard admonishment had already disappeared and was thrown to the country of Java.

  He just saw the opportunity and wanted to give it a try, leaving a deeper impression in the heart of Lord Earl, and one day he could go further into the political arena, and high-ranking officials would come.

  Don’t say anything now, this time it’s really funny, it’s all tears!

  Lei Xiaohu stood outside the door with a cold face, watching Ma Xiangbo mechanically put away the foreign-language newspaper, and left under his arm in despair, feeling infinite happiness in his heart.

  Master Earl said it is really good, looking back to find an opportunity to ask Master Earl, can you say this?

  According to the strict confidentiality rules of the Guards, no bit of information is allowed to be leaked without permission.
