History is an empirical discipline, and many people ignore the important role of history. For those who ignore the important role of history, they can actually convince them in just one sentence.

‘If you don’t have enough talent, history will make up for it!’

It's very simple and straightforward! You can also say that you lack talent and have enough experience!

Experience is history, history is experience. Isn’t the historical experience condensed by the predecessors’ thousands of years of blood, sweat, and billions of lives not wealth?

Isn't it worth your study?

You want to become an excellent military strategist, politician, educator, and a big businessman... These ideals can actually get sufficient nourishment from history.

What do you do when your talent is not enough to make you the best in these ideal industries? Make up for it with diligence? How do you know if your path to diligence is correct?

If you lack talent, you still need to find shortcomings in history, study the experiences of your predecessors carefully, and enrich yourself and finally become the leader in that industry.

Even if your ideal is to be a corrupt official or a treacherous official, or even your ideal is to rebel yourself and become the emperor!

You also need historical experience for these partial ideals. You must read the history books carefully to see the experiences of corrupt officials, treacherous officials, and rebels in history.

How did they succeed? How did they fail? And how did the process? Don’t you need to study these historical experiences?

More importantly, it is difficult for people who are proficient in history to be deceived in the face of big troubles!

Especially the confrontation between countries, between nations, even between civilizations and civilizations, and that kind of mutual conspiracy!

Many of them are very confusing, all covered with honey poison. What is the use of this conspiracy to break? It depends entirely on personal talent and intelligence? In fact, there is no such complexity. If you see too many conspiracies in history, you will naturally not be deceived by the scams in front of you.

Too many things are just changing soups and not changing medicines!

In Xiao Letian's previous life, in the more than 30 years of openness, the strategies used by the entire Chinese civilization were actually just two idioms.

‘Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall’ and ‘hiding one’s strength and maintaining one’!

If you lack strength, you must pretend to be a grandson and use strategic deception to strive for a rare historical development period, so that China can complete the tutoring of the first and second industrial revolutions, and then jump directly on the chariot of the third industrial revolution.

It is such a big strategy, and the great man who formulated this strategy actually looked for solutions to practical problems from the profound history of China.

Does the current dilemma exist in history? How did the smart ancients solve it? Can those experiences be repeated?

Change the soup but not the medicine! The ultimate solution is to take out two idioms from the history of Chinese civilization, which can solve the problem that is considered difficult for the Chinese nation.

Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, keeping a low profile! These are all true allusions of famous and surnamed history. Copying it thousands of years ago can also break the modern dilemma!

You can imagine that if there is no such a profound history, then if this nation wants to solve the current dilemma, it will have to study it from scratch, deduce it little by little, analyze it little by little, and start from scratch.

And what is even more terrifying is that even if the great man found the right solution with his own ability, how much time and energy would he take to convince the huge bureaucratic management class?

It is difficult to convince the plan from scratch. When you convince most people, the rare historical opportunity will disappear and be missed.

At this time, we still have to look at the influence of the profound history, because the great man and the entire national management class around him are all influenced by national historical knowledge and have been influenced and grown up.

Then it became easier for a great man to convince so many people in the administrative management of the entire country, throwing out these two historical allusions, and then comparing them with each other in the current dilemma of the nation.

Don’t talk too much nonsense with great men. History books can actually help him convince many people. Do you think it’s very efficient?

This is the real benefit brought by history. If you want to govern a thousand-year-old civilization like China, it is absolutely impossible to be a generalist of history!

Samuel Baker is worthy of being a very famous explorer and scholar in British history. His insights have indeed reached the forefront of society in the era at that time.

But he was a British man after all, and he didn't know much about the Eastern nation. He saw the key to the problem, but could not find a solution...or he could not find a solution for the time being.

After Gordon's round and round questioning, Samuel could only say vaguely, "If you want to destroy the country, you must first destroy the history! But I really haven't figured out how to destroy the love of history of this nation. Please let me think about it again..."

"Don't urge me, let me go around the Central Plains and investigate more... Maybe I can find a way to destroy Chinese history..."

"If Western civilization wants to completely unify global thoughts... it must destroy the history of Eastern civilization. If history is destroyed, their culture will be cut off..."

"But my mind is messy now. Wait until I get well..."

Samuel Baker's unthinkable answer was actually hidden in Xiao Letian's heart. At that time, the Europeans did not find the key to unlock the lock. After they found it, they found that the historical opportunity to lock the Chinese civilization had been broken.

There may be a rule of the great way that can control the national destiny of China!

The miracles created by Xiao Letian in his previous life, and the miracles created by Xiao Letian after traveling through time, actually have a common law.

That is, Chinese civilization is clearly lagging behind. If you want to catch up with the great powers, reverse the national destiny, and overtake the scimitar, you need a turning point!

What is the turning point? It is the critical moment of upgrading industrial civilization, that time node!

The British moved from agricultural civilization to the first industrial revolution, and the British took the lead in seizing the explosive dividends of the first industrial revolution.

That is why Britain defeated star countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, etc. and became the world's first-class power.

After the first industrial revolution upgraded to the second industrial revolution, who was the nation that seized the historical opportunity to rise? Of course, it was the United States and the unified Germany.

Including the Soviet Union that was last on board!

The first industrial revolution was the world of steam engines, railways, and textile machines. When the second industrial revolution was the great rise of internal combustion engines, petroleum industry, chemical industry, aerospace and other industries.

Before and after World War II, including the Cold War, the decades of the rise of the Third Industrial Revolution, atomic energy, computers, networks, aerospace, etc., and until the 21st century before Xiao Letian traveled, mankind was still consuming the benefits brought by the Third Industrial Revolution...

The key point of the rise of New China is to choose the best historical opportunity, which is just at the critical moment of the breakthrough of the third industrial revolution and makes full use of the historical opportunity period of overtaking on the curve.
