Chapter 1199 Discussion
"Director Zhang, how do you feel?" Wang Hailong sat next to the old man and asked, looking at Director Zhang who looked amazed and could not recover for a long time.
"It's amazing, it's amazing. I didn't expect that the gap between us and the West has reached this level!" Director Zhang said helplessly.
Through the car window, Director Zhang saw not only the prosperity, wealth and strength of East Africa, but also the backwardness, poverty, weakness and helplessness of the Far Eastern Empire.
He held the frame of the car window and asked Wang Hailong: "Young man, do you think we still have a chance to surpass Western countries? Seeing the construction of Dar es Salaam, I even felt powerless in my heart. "
Regarding General Manager Zhang's worries, Wang Hailong comforted him: "General Manager, don't worry too much. Although the Western world is developing rapidly, as long as our country's far-sighted people can unite, one day we can achieve the rejuvenation of the nation and the country."
"Take East Africa as an example. You must know that the situation in East Africa in the last century was not much better than ours. Before the arrival of the Rhine Empire royal family, there was no modern country in the entire Africa."
"At that time, Egypt, the most powerful ancient civilization in Africa, was just a semi-colonial country that was being tormented by Britain and France in turns, and the vast area south of the Sahara was a desert of civilization. If it hadn't been for the sudden rise of this country in East Africa, I'm afraid we would not be here now. What I saw was not such a rich and powerful Dar es Salaam, but a deserted beach with only sparse people.”
"It only took half a century for East Africa to develop from a land of thorns to a world-class power. The foundation of our Far Eastern Empire is much better than that of East Africa. As long as we can follow the right path, we will definitely be able to replicate it. The success of the Rhine Empire today."
Wang Hailong's words are still a bit exaggerated. Although East Africa did develop from a backward colony, Dar es Salaam is not as backward as he said. After all, before East Africa, the Zanzibar Sultanate still had some interests here. It was developed to a certain extent and the capital was moved from the island of Zanzibar.
However, the existence of East Africa has indeed greatly raised the upper limit of Africa as a whole, and has successfully built East Africa into one of the most powerful countries in the world. This is also the envy of many Far Eastern students.
Director Zhang said: "When you say this, I feel a little better. I also know something about East Africa. East Africa did have poor basic conditions and was developed entirely from a colony. Relatively speaking, our original conditions were better than East Africa is not the least bit stronger.”
Wang Hailong: "There are still some differences. Colonies are different from colonies. There are many colonies in the world today, but most of them have not reached the level of East Africa, such as Brazil in South America."
"However, the rise of East Africa also shows that our country and our nation still have great hope of regaining the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After all, a large part of East Africans come from the Far East. We only started to fall behind in modern times. Our ancestors founded We have made brilliant achievements, so only by realizing national rejuvenation can we be worthy of the spirits of our ancestors.”
The emergence of the country of East Africa is also an inspiration to the Far East Empire. After all, half of the blood in East Africa comes from the Far East Empire. Therefore, from the perspective of the Far East Empire, the country of East Africa was jointly established by Germans and Chinese.
In a sense, East Africa's achievements today are far better than those of other countries in the world. After all, the history of East Africa is only more than fifty years. It is obviously more important to achieve achievements in such a short period of time that many countries cannot achieve in a lifetime. difficulty.
Mr. Zhang looked at the East African pedestrians outside the car window and said with approval: "Yes, our wisdom is definitely not inferior to that of Europeans. It's just that one waxes and wanes. Everything has a cycle of strength and decline. After all, our nation We have also experienced the darkest moments such as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the glorious stages of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now as more and more people wake up, we will definitely be able to return to our peak in the future." Mixed-race people account for the vast majority, but pure white and yellow people also exist to a certain extent. Therefore, on the streets of Dar es Salaam, you can see some East Africans who look no different from the Far Eastern Empire personnel.
Seeing these familiar faces who have naturally integrated into East African society and are full of energy and spirit, General Manager Zhang has greater confidence in the future of his nation and country.
Wang Hailong said: "Many Western countries, because we have fallen behind for a while, label us with various stereotypes, but this is not the case in East Africa. We can learn a lot of useful knowledge here. When we return to China in the future, we Apply the knowledge learned in East Africa to national development.”
"In my opinion, East Africa's successful experience is not inferior to Japan's. Although the two countries developed into powerful countries in the world at almost the same time, East Africa's foundation was even weaker than Japan's at the beginning, and East Africa has many similarities with our country, which deserves our Learn from it.”
Japan's influence on the Far Eastern Empire in this era is still huge. It can be seen from the situation of studying abroad in the Far Eastern Empire. The number of students studying in the Far Eastern Empire far exceeds that of other countries.
Of course, international students who come to study in East Africa are not very fond of Japan. On the one hand, there are historical grievances between the two countries, and on the other hand, they are obviously affected by public opinion in East Africa.
East Africa's portrayal of Japan is definitely not better. After all, the two countries have territorial disputes over the Ryukyu Islands, and the Japanese government has been protesting East Africa's "illegal" occupation of the Southern Ryukyu Islands.
As for what Wang Hailong said, East Africa's foundation was once worse than Japan's. That's a matter of opinion. Japan's Meiji Restoration and the colonization of East Africa were almost at the same time. It is true that Japan has a wealth accumulated over thousands of years, but East Africa has also spent hundreds of millions of years on the African continent. Various untapped resources.
The biggest shortcoming in the development of East Africa at the beginning was the insufficient population base, which was different in Japan. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan's population was already quite large, so the basic conditions of the two countries each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but overall It's definitely better to go to East Africa.
Japan's initial development conditions were better than those of East Africa, but as time went by and East Africa introduced enough immigrants, East Africa became much stronger than Japan in all aspects.
Director Zhang said: "Japan is undoubtedly a serious concern for our country, but Japan's rapid rise in a short period of time obviously has merits. Nowadays, there is a trend of studying in Japan, and many of them are bribed by Japan. It is a pity that The government is not fully aware of this, and this situation may also exist in other countries, so when you study abroad in East Africa, don’t always be led by East Africa, you must have your own rationality and thinking.”
Mr. Zhang’s long-term experience in dealing with Western countries and Asians told him that these great powers, and even some white countries that think highly of themselves, are all moral, but ruthless, and have always eaten people without spitting out their bones.
Therefore, although East Africa has a good relationship with the Far Eastern Empire, it has to be guarded against. East Africa is just a relatively reasonable one among a bunch of unreasonable powers.
Of course, if the black slaves who were once exploited by East Africa, the natives of Southeast Asia, the Abyssinian Empire, Portugal, the Boers and other countries, regions and people who were severely bullied by East Africa knew that he thought so, they would definitely complain. , no one knows the shamelessness and arrogance of East Africa better than them.
