belated summary
I'm in the Jurassic, I just got out of the time machine, so the summary is a little late, there are no extras, I can only pour some private information.
This is where the book America was written, and it ended early without any pressure. When the book started, it was written after the First World War. To continue is just to repeat the previous operations, how to rob other people's industry, and there is no way to play tricks.
This book is a follow-up to American Slave Masters. I think about 170,000 words have been fucked. The protagonist of that book is very old and ruthless. There are many more protagonists than the protagonist of this book. The Buddha in this book is a slave owner.
heroine.
After writing about the First World War, you can generally guess the development of the United States in the future. The rest is a matter of course. The protagonist has basically robbed all important industries. Unless it is written about the electronic age, but that is still far away. The key is that the United States is enough.
Now that it’s strong, let’s continue reading about the protagonist. Then how strong will the United States in the book be by then?
The U.S. national power in this book will be stronger than in real time and space, but the concept of U.S. imperialism may not cover the real world. If it first occupied the Persian Gulf, there would definitely be no room for maneuver in the Arab world. According to the book
Although the territory of the Confederate States of America in China is not large, it occupies 60% of the oil reserves in the Persian Gulf, and the entire Persian Gulf occupies 65% of the world's reserves.
Also, because the problem of black Americans is solved, the hidden dangers in the United States will be much less, but at the same time, it will be much more difficult to penetrate into Africa. Africa is a little behind, but black people will never be so stupid that they can't even understand what black Americans did in the twentieth century.
I can’t even think about it. In fact, black people don’t trust even white countries now. It’s impossible to treat them as if they were colonized. They just don’t have the right to speak out, or those original sovereign countries are indeed far worse than the current African countries.
Developed and African countries do not have the confidence to criticize.
In the last chapter, Goa wants to deal with India because of its status, and South Asia is probably doomed.
The sphere of influence of American imperialism in this time and space is still stable in Western Europe. The Five Eyes Alliance will be closer, but it will not be everywhere like it is now. Every fart is related to the national interests of the United States. There are gains and losses.
.
It seems that controlling the world is a grand blueprint, but the power is mutual, and everything must be paid at a huge price.
Take the current United States as an example. It cannot give up any place. Once it abandons any place, the negative impact will be fed back to the United States. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has established influence in more countries, and its military expenditure has increased instead of decreasing.
Whether the United States can support this kind of continuous investment, we must continue to invest. This is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
Once it encounters a place that cannot be conquered, the place where influence and control has been established will also be unstable, resulting in a significant increase in investment costs. As early as the end of the Cold War, some scholars in the United States hoped that the United States would not pursue victory and try to hold the world in its hands.
, a country cannot bear this kind of continuous investment, but people are greedy and want to make money, so don’t shudder.
Everyone thinks that they are unique and that smart people will never repeat the mistakes of previous countries. This is all an illusion.
The British Empire invested in control costs to establish its influence, but it could no longer recoup its costs through colonial profits and abandoned its colonies. The Mongol Empire, which was not a small one, had already become the four major khanates even when the Song Dynasty was still there.
The United States is now secretly suppressing so many countries. Even if they don't all resist, a small number of them don't cooperate, which is enough to cause a headache for the U.S. government. I won't say much about the United States. In the industrial age, it was a chosen land. In the agricultural age, North America was not as good as China.
, there are no mountains to block it, it is always harvested by cold currents, and the center of American civilization is near the equator.
Of course, modern people can open their eyes and brag about how good the conditions are in the United States. In the agricultural era, that place was full of nomadic tribes of Indians. It should be applied to China. Why didn't the Han and Tang Dynasties focus on the Mongolian Plateau? It would be better
The capital is Ulaanbaatar.
Let me mention China at the same time, during the Qing Dynasty, right? Let me think about it. The Qing Dynasty bullied the weak and feared the strong, and attacked the agricultural countries and nomadic peoples as if they were old dogs. They did not follow the rules. This is not a slander. It is not shameful to bully the weak and fear the strong. It is between countries.
The basic principle is that during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sowed discord against the Turks and caused the Turks to split. It was a clever move. No one can say that this is not good. This is called a strategy.
The official status of the Qing Dynasty is not bad. It is not just a so-called expert, but it is basically the unanimous opinion in the field of Chinese history. Everyone knows that there are many negative impressions on the Internet. The reason for this impression is that our country officially believes that the Ming and Qing Dynasties are the ancient times of China.
The decline stage of dynastic history can basically be ignored without mentioning it.
But the situation in the Qing Dynasty was different, because the territory was large and the population was large, and the Qing Dynasty had borders that had been used since ancient times. I have also written before that the maps of the Yuan and Ming dynasties were changed due to political reasons with the Soviet Union, and they were all large.
The painting was drawn towards the north. In the Yuan Dynasty, the tiger swallowed Siberia. In the Ming Dynasty, the northeastern part could at least reach the Kamchatka Peninsula. They are all special editions for the country. Mr. Tan Qixiang himself said that he opened the Yuan and Ming Dynasties for certain reasons.
Xinjiang is a country where relevant books are not difficult to find.
I only learned about this when I was writing about the Soviet Union, and I saw pictures of textbooks from the period when the People's Republic of China was just founded. But I didn't dare to write a paragraph with such a chapter. The era was originally sensitive, and the Soviet Union didn't have a good reputation at that time.
For example, now, China has almost experienced the situation of the Soviet Union. If I could still write about the Soviet Union now, the sense of immersion would be much stronger.
Therefore, many historians in their 70s and 80s have been studying it for decades, and many of them were historians before Tan Qixiang. Naturally, they do not pay much attention to the first impression of the Ming Dynasty. However, some people say that the Ming Dynasty was the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a bit excessive.
Chinese history textbooks do not include any internal contradictions and do not mention historical hatred. Otherwise, Dzungar, which is very important in history books in many countries, would not have just a few sentences about where the Dzungar people went. I don’t know.
Why is there a Jungar Basin? Check the information yourself.
I don’t mention how many people died during the Ming and Qing dynasties, because if it were mentioned, then for the sake of fairness, it would definitely be mentioned for all dynasty changes. The matter is complicated. Every time our country changes dynasties, the recorded population loss is astonishingly high, and not half of it is a routine operation.
Speaking of this issue, I suddenly remembered that many people seemed to use the registered population of Emperor Sui Yang to criticize the Tang Dynasty to prove that Li Shimin was nothing more than that. This could not prove anything except that Emperor Sui Yang's level was too low. He was not
If the world is like that, will the population lose so much?
The Sui Dynasty is not evaluated as much as the Jin Dynasty today. We should thank Tang Taizong. If Li Shimin could not withstand the chaos and caused the Turks to move south, the evaluation of the Sui Dynasty would be lower than that of the Jin Dynasty. From the beginning of usurping the throne, Yang Jian
It was better than the situation faced by Sima Yan. The rival Chen State who went south to unify had its capital on the edge of the Yangtze River without even a buffer. The true emperor guarded the country. It was far less powerful than Wu State!
The review of the Sui Dynasty is okay, mainly thanks to Li Shimin, who quickly ended the troubled times and did not give the Turks a chance.
The question of whether China can have an industrial revolution should be impossible. In fact, Chinese history generally regards the Ming and Qing Dynasties as a period of decline, which basically tells everyone subconsciously that the industrial revolution will not occur in China.
No one has mentioned the germination of capitalism in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. To put it bluntly, the germination of capitalism in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is a textbook summary. I don’t know why the Internet is so enthusiastic about this topic. I was only interested in this topic before I was 20 years old, ten years ago.
before.
Nowadays, textbooks are also weakening this narrative. The definition of the emergence of capitalism is very outrageous. According to that definition, it seems that no dynasty is inconsistent with it, and even most countries that have reached a certain level have it.
The Industrial Revolution will definitely appear sooner or later, but I don’t know where or when it will appear. Anyway, the country where it appeared, Britain, has several advantages. It is isolated overseas and is not easily disturbed by wars on the European continent. It is not easy to be disturbed while groping.
In terms of belief, Britain is definitely a heresy to the European Holy See. I have mentioned the relationship between heretics and pagans too many times in my book.
It is also difficult to become a colonial empire. The concept of colonies in the West did not start in modern times at all. When the Roman Empire was still there, the concept of colonies existed. During the war between the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, a treaty was signed to cede territory and pay compensation.
Yes, even if you sign a treaty at the city gate, you will withdraw your troops. This is not an act of stupidity in Chinese history.
In the theory of the Six Kingdoms, cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight! Historical figures in our country after the Qin Dynasty did not believe in the model of ceding territories at all. Once it appeared, the Qin Dynasty would swallow up the Six Kingdoms.
Reprint.
What China can do is follow the annexation route that people leave behind. The example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty annexing the south is too far away, while the example of Zhungeer is close enough. If you think about it a little, China's expansion will definitely not be colonial expansion.
Moreover, the sequelae of colonial expansion are too great. The problem of foreign population faced by the original colonial masters today is destined to happen. Maybe in two or three hundred years, it will be included in the history textbooks of our country as a warning.
Therefore, the Qing Dynasty cannot be reformed at all. It is best not to change. It is best for an empire that has lasted for more than two hundred years to perish. The interest groups that have been formed are beyond imagination. This is the case in any dynasty. What about those bureaucrats in the late Ming Dynasty?
I also wrote about many shameless virtues.
It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the United States of America. It is a bit like the late Ming Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty. There are party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty and the arrogance and arrogance of the late Qing Dynasty. But after all, it is a modern society and it will not behave like the late Ming and Qing Dynasties.
So obvious.
The existence of the Qing Dynasty was good, at least it could be used to shirk responsibility, and the time of its demise was not bad. It was close to the outbreak of the world war, and all countries were almost finished sharpening their knives, so don't worry about East Asia's affairs.
Three thousand words seems to be enough. I originally wanted to compare how Chinese and Western civilizations are fundamentally different. After the Qin Dynasty, China was on a completely different path. There is no need to add up the number of words now.
Anyway, it started with the United Kingdom, and later the Industrial Revolution was first learned by Europe, which had nearby resources. It hit the whole world. It was impossible for China to appear. Since the Qin Dynasty, China has experienced similar circumstances, and it has undoubtedly been considered bad. Let Xujun
The aristocrats had the final say, both in the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Especially in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Expedition was a big hindrance.
The local forces were all hostile to each other. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were euphemistically called competing with each other like in Europe. It was not a good era. The central government did nothing, the Yuan Dynasty! Except for the Mongolians who could see it when collecting taxes one year, they could not even see their shadows all year round.
No. Emperor Hongwu looked down upon this very much.
After China has been unified by the Qin Dynasty once, it is impossible to develop in an environment like Europe. The general environment does not allow it. There are gains and losses. The agricultural era is undoubtedly successful. The transition to the industrial era is more difficult, but it is different from other
Comparing civilizations, it is quite successful. West Asia has always been a rival to Europe. After the last great power, the Ottoman Empire, has gone, West Asia is already in trouble. India, I despise all religions, but I despise the most.
Or Hinduism.
The number of words should be enough. The final summary of this book is that the United States is more stable than the current United States, and its hegemony is not as outrageous as modern times, but the stability is very high, and there are gains and losses.
After finishing this book, I never thought about starting a new book, but after I was dragged out to drink for two days, I thought carefully that it would be better to start coding. At least it is better than living in a dream. I haven’t thought about the new book yet, but I will start thinking about it in two days.
I won’t admit that it’s a bad ending. This book was originally intended to be a continuation. Is there anyone more conscientious than me to find the starting point? It was originally planned to be written after the First World War, and nothing too difficult after that.
This chapter said don’t help me find a country to write about. Yesterday, a book friend suggested that I write about Egypt. When I thought about 97% of the desert area, a country where there is nothing, and the water can’t be seen from the sky. I can’t think of a normal country.
This method allows Egypt to challenge the great powers in modern times. Egypt two thousand years ago was fine.
Chapter completed!
