As soon as Edison entered the study, he hugged his chest with one hand and saluted Qiao Zhiqing, his face full of depression.After Qiao Zhiqing smiled and asked him to sit down, Lin Qiushui quickly served tea to the two.Edison took a sip of tea, exhaled a sigh and said slowly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't understand why you are going to war against the United States, the United States has never offended New China, do we have to be enemies?"
"Mr.
Edison, I know your feelings very well.You relax for a while, and I'll explain to you after drinking tea" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, there was no unhappiness on his face, and he respected Edison very much.Edison suppressed the impatience in his heart, and drank the tea bowl for a while, before Qiao Zhiqing put down the official document in his hand and explained to Edison lightly, "Mr.
Edison, our new China has no ill feelings towards the United States, and we are very willing to live in peace with the American people.However, this time the United States sent troops to intervene in European affairs, which caused a great conflict with China's interests.For the sake of world order, we have used force against the United States.This is a decision made in the national interest, and it is not something I can change" "But peace is about to be restored in Europe, and it is for the sake of peace that the United States has sent troops to Europe.I don't understand, whether New China is to maintain order, or to disrupt order" Edison looked puzzled, I don't know why New China intervened when Europe was about to stabilize.If it is said that the interests of New China are the same as those of Germany, then anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not the case at all.Except for its close relations with Poland, New China has no other country in Europe.At this time, Poland was on the side of Britain and France, but New China went the opposite way."
Mr.
Edison, the America you are talking about is the America of the American people, not the hegemonic America.The United States is not sending troops to Europe simply for peace, but in fact its real purpose is for hegemonism.If the United States wants peace, it should remain neutral and not interfere in the situation on the European continent.It is the hegemonism of the United States that we are suppressing in New China, not the American people.If we do not care about it now, New China, we will allow US hegemonism to run rampant.In the future, the world will fall into the confrontation between the East and the West, and it will be the people, and even the entire human race, who will be hurt at that time. ”Qiao Zhiqing patiently explained to him, Edison listened thoughtfully, and at his level of knowledge, it was easy to understand the problem."
Then His Majesty the Emperor means that he wants to compete with the United States for world hegemony," Edison raised an eyebrow."
That's right, there is an old Chinese saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.There can only be one hegemon in a world, and only in this way can it be truly beneficial to the people of the world.If there are two hegemons, they will inevitably choose to confront.Once the situation develops to that point, a world war will be inevitable.Therefore, once hegemonism rises in the United States, we must suppress them.You can try to look at things from a different perspective and from the perspective of the world.It is easy to understand all the actions of our new China now, and I believe that the US government must have such a policy, and we just started it in advance. ”Qiao Zhiqing admitted frankly that he didn't feel that being the world hegemon was done by bandits.In this world, there must always be a country that sets order, and only the strong can take responsibility.Edison didn't have anything to say when he heard this reason.Qiao Zhiqing didn't hide anything from him, and he had no right to know these things.His heart is very complicated now, although he has participated in the citizenship of New China, he is unconsciously thinking about the United States.And he didn't want his invention to be used in war, which made him feel like he was working for the devil."
Your Majesty the Emperor, is a war between China and the United States really inevitable" Edison's face was a little lost."
It's too late, now is that New China wants to stop the war, and the United States will not agree.After this war, a new world order will be established, and the United States will not let go of this opportunity to compete for world hegemony" Qiao Zhiqing nodded affirmatively, he did not believe that the United States would have no reaction after suffering such a big loss."
God, this is really a disaster" Edison shook his head, and after solving the doubts in his heart, he saluted Qiao Zhiqing and said goodbye.Everything about him is in China, whether it is family or career and honor.Although he now says a word for the United States, it cannot change the fact that he cannot leave New China.From the moment he came to New China, he may no longer be an American.Edison didn't want to worry about the war anymore, after all, it was all a politician's business.Now he just can't worry about it.After the Battle of the Atlantic, the elite of the British, French, and American navies were almost wiped out, and only some old warships remained in the country.At this time, Germany and Austria-Hungary withdrew from the peace talks one after another, and regrouped their forces at home to prepare to resist Britain, France and other countries.After losing more than 500,000 troops, the US Army's strength is much lower than before.Moreover, at this time, there was a war in New China, and Germany and Austria-Hungary were no longer afraid of them.Now Britain and France have also put aside their grievances with Germany for the time being, and are focusing all their attention on South Africa.The Huaxing army won a great victory at sea, and if it completely annexed South Africa, it would lay a bridgehead on the way to attack Europe.The Versailles peace talks were temporarily changed to the headquarters of the coalition forces, and the military leaders of various countries quickly came up with a countermeasure.The current colonies in Africa are mainly owned by Britain and France.There are also Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium and some of them.The commanders of the five countries quickly deliberated and decided to form a coalition to attack the Huaxing Army's colony in South Africa.At the same time, Qiao Zhiqing also arrived at the Ministry of Defense by car.After Edison left, he asked Wang Wu to prepare a car to listen to the report of the Ministry of Defense attacking Europe.In those years, Britain and France braved the wind and waves to cross the ocean to New China, and opened the door of China with ironclad warships and artillery.Now New China also has to fight back with warships and artillery, how they looted and burned the Old Summer Palace at the beginning, now they have to spit out a lot of it.Buckingham Palace in England and Versailles in France.What the Old Summer Palace burns into, these two palaces have to burn into.Qiao Zhiqing wanted to meet Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, and he had always wanted to whip her with a leather whip in the past, but I don't know if the queen's body is okay now.Queen Victoria was a plump beauty when she was young, but unfortunately the strength of New China was too weak at that time, which made Qiao Zhiqing regret until now.When he arrived at the Ministry of Defense by car, the generals were already waiting in the war hall.Excitement is written on everyone's faces, and in the last twenty years, there has been no big war to fight.These newly promoted generals, everyone is holding back their anger.For generals, peace is the same as torture."
Your Majesty the Emperor" After Qiao Zhiqing stood on the main seat, the generals all raised their arms and saluted."
Sit down" Qiao Zhiqing looked at them and smiled slightly, and his heart was full of relief when he saw these newcomers who had grown up in the battle hall
