Chapter 357(1/2)
"Brother, what do you mean... that we can control all mankind in the future?" Li Hao's eyes widened. This is really a big game.
The goal was so ambitious that Li Hao didn't even dare to think about it.
"As early as the Han Dynasty, our ancestors fought against the ferocious Huns.
The result of the battle was that we won, but miserably.
The Han people and the Xiongnu people fought for three hundred years, with corpses piled into mountains and blood flowing into rivers.
But what’s the result?
The result was that the Huns who surrendered came back to bite our Han people, which eventually led to the tragic Five Husbands!
If we, the Han nation, had not given birth to Ran Min, the king of martial arts, then whose world belongs to us now would be a completely different story.
So I say that military means to solve the problem will have serious sequelae. Moreover, it cannot really solve the problem.
Although the grassland peoples no longer have the ability to become our enemies after the birth of the machine gun.
But we still have to control them!
What control is the most reliable, most effective, and least likely to cause resistance? That is food!
By controlling food, we control the stomachs of everyone in the world. By controlling the stomachs of everyone in the world, we control the world.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
It is even possible that we don’t have to fight the wars in person in the future. We only need to command those who want to eat our food!
Of course, food is only one aspect.
Another aspect is oil!
There are many places in the world that have oil, and other countries will be able to master the oil refining technology sooner or later.
However, there are very few places in the world where oil is concentrated and buried. The Middle East can be regarded as the place with the richest reserves in the world.
The reserves that have been explored can be used for hundreds of years based on ten times the current consumption of our Ming Dynasty.
Another place with the richest oil reserves is Russia. This is why I always want to help Russia."
"But Russia is a big country, and their country is very big. It has a large population, and they are almost all Slavs like us.
If they develop, they will become another hidden danger for us. Didn't you say that there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests?"
"Yes! So we have to use seeds to control them. As long as they listen to us, they will have food to eat.
Of course, this is the long-term goal.
The short-term goal is... to dismember them.
In fact, there are some things you don’t understand!
Russia is also made up of many ethnic groups. Just like in places like the Caucasus and Transcaucasus, there are very few Russians and they are not traditionally inhabited by Slavs.
There were Armenians there, and Georgians. And people of all other nationalities!
There are not many people in the vast Siberia.
Zheng Sen is already talking about the Ming Dynasty wanting to take back the Far East.
The ultimate goal is that all the areas east of the Ural Mountains belong to the Ming Empire.
As for the areas west of the Ural Mountains, we will gradually split them into smaller countries.
Finally, Russia is the territory of the Grand Duchy of Russia.
Of course, this must be done after dismembering the Germans.
The Germans helped us kill the British royal family and the French royal family.
Let them fight for two years, and different armed organizations and factions will soon appear.
After they have their own territory, we will support them in establishing a country.
In this way, France and England can be easily torn into pieces.
Europeans have that tradition. After the Roman Empire was over, their country was broken into small pieces for thousands of years.
Why are there so many kings, princes and princesses in Europe?
It’s because they have too many countries!
What we need is to get them back to a state of small countries. Just like Germany, it is also composed of many small countries.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.
Since we want to mess up Germany, we have to start by messing up the prestige of the head of state. Hopefully, Zheng Sen can complete our plan."
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiao's mouth. Li Hao knew that when his eldest brother smiled like this, he was holding it back and causing trouble.
************************
Berlin!
Zheng Sen has been in Berlin for more than ten days. Over the past few days, he has been accepting invitations from celebrities from all walks of life. He has even been unable to finish the dinners.
If every invitation had to be kept, Zheng Sen felt that he would never be able to return to Ming Dynasty in his life.
very tired!
Especially dealing with those German women!
Those women who are as tender as water all become like wolves and tigers in bed. I have to say that European women are better than Ming Dynasty women.
Girls aged thirteen or fourteen are also well-developed. Many twenty-year-old girls in Ming Dynasty are not as well developed as them.
And these little girls look young, but when they really go crazy, they are really crazy.
There is no way!
Even if you are tired, you have to hold on!
The descendants of the Zheng family are incompetent. My cousins from my uncle's family are all experts at raising flowers, walking birds, and playing with women.
Every day he was either drunk to death in a vat of wine or working on women's bellies. Being able to spend time in a theater and listen to a play every day made him a good boy.
When he thought of the Zheng family, Zheng Sen shook his head helplessly.
The previous generation and my own generation are already finished.
There were a few outstanding nephews, and Zheng Sen arranged for them to enter the school. He couldn't let his family take care of them, because those foolish women wouldn't be able to bring up good children.
I closed my eyes and thought about things along the way, and soon the carriage stopped in front of a splendid mansion.
Seeing the carriage arriving, the gatekeeper quickly opened the black wrought iron gate to both sides.
The carriage went straight forward, and the green lawns on both sides of the gravel road had turned into withered yellow.
After bypassing the fountain that no longer sprayed water, the carriage stopped in front of the main building.
The fat Hermann stood at the door personally to greet the highest-ranking diplomat of the Ming Empire. This time he was the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ming Empire's Generalissimo, who came to discuss economic issues with Germany.
This is a big cake, and Ming products have been pouring into Germany continuously over the years.
Products from the Ming Dynasty were very cheap, so cheap that the Germans found it unbelievable.
Since the source is cheap, the selling price will not be expensive. Moreover, the quality of Ming products is generally very good. German people like this kind of cheap and good Ming products very much.
Since there is a market, whoever gets something can make money.
This time the Ming Empire's special envoy arrived, all the powerful German families were gearing up to cut a piece of this cake, and the bigger the piece, the better.
Although we all know in our hearts that Germany will have a battle with Ming Dynasty sooner or later. But who will have trouble with money?
"Oh, Mr. Dahonglu. Thank you for your compliments!" Herman's face turned red with excitement.
It is indeed a great honor, because this Da Honglu is not someone who can be invited just by anyone.
In order to treat this meal, Herman prepared for three days. From the ingredients to the dance in the evening, he tried his best to arrange it.
Even, several beautiful little beauties were specially arranged for Mr. Da Honglu to taste.
"Where! Marshal Hermann, I have heard about your achievements in the Ming Dynasty. I have long wanted to see the hero who drove an airship to defeat the French in the war." Zheng Sen smiled and shook hands with Hermann.
"Oh, God! Mr. Dahonglu, your German is so good." Herman looked at Zheng Sen in shock.
He had heard before that this Da Honglu was a language genius. Not only was he proficient in German and English, but he also spoke French with a fluent Parisian accent.
But that's just hearsay, and hearing it with one's own ears are completely different things.
If you didn't look at the person and just listened to his voice, Hermann would have thought that he was an authentic Bavarian.
"I lived with a missionary when I was very young, and he taught me many things. Of course, including German.
He is from Bavaria and is a good missionary."
"Oh, you are talking about John. Oh, by the way, he has another name in Ming Dynasty, called Tang Ruowang.
I am also a Bavarian, but I am a commoner and my family is an aristocrat." Hermann laughed.
This is a common attitude among the new rich nowadays. They openly admit that they are from common people. At the same time, they also declare to everyone that they have worked hard on their own.
This pride and pride can be clearly seen in Herman's proud eyes. They enjoy this honor and despise those guys who have climbed up through family blood.
