The biggest crisis for Emperor Hua now is not just Kyushu Island in Japan, but comprehensive.

Once there is a gap in one place, all the great powers will come to find gaps. China has shown certain strength and made China the target of public criticism. No great power wants to see a country like China become stronger.

Other countries need China's huge economic basic conditions to stimulate their markets, and also need China's cheaper goods compared to European powers.

The continuous expansion of the system established by the Emperor of China is a must-take. There is no essential difference between it and other great powers such as Britain and France. It is just that the Emperor of China evolved the system to the advanced stage of imperialism in advance.

This is the development need of China in this era and the development need of the world.

What did Europe plunder from its colonies? Gold and silver, luxury goods, raw materials.

Among them, gold and silver are not material wealth, but circulation that prevents deflation before paper money is decoupled from precious metals.

The transfer of material wealth related to gold and silver occurs between European countries. For example, Spain uses gold and silver to buy British and French textiles: Britain and France loses material wealth and obtains benign inflation.

In the system of free competition, benign inflation stimulated technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and society became more developed.

Therefore, in the world of precious metals, plundering gold and silver indirectly stimulates the development of social development in Europe and the United States.

Luxury goods (spices, diamonds, ivory, fur, etc.) have no necessary connection with social development.

The plunder of raw materials has indeed directly promoted the development of Europe.

Here, "plunder" is defined as obtaining items at a price lower than "reasonable price", such as colonial workers being less than native workers' wages.

Even in Europe in the 18th century, the Emperor of China was very poor: a worker worked hard for 10 hours per day but could only eat and wear warm clothes, and there were also a large number of child laborers.

Therefore, the salary below the local level at that time was very low.

In 1870, the total value of imported raw materials in the UK was about 2 million pounds, which was amazing, equivalent to about 15 million taels of silver.

In other words, even at the peak of the colonial era, the raw materials directly plundered only account for a few thousandths of GDP.

If the wages of the colonies are raised to the level of the British local level, the raw materials obtained in this way cannot be considered plunder. Britain will pay an additional price of about 0.0% of GDP, which is not as good as a fraction of the military expenditure.

This is also one of the reasons why the Western world allowed the collapse of the colonial system after World War II. Another reason is of course sociological, such as the high awareness of human rights, because from the economic map, it is insignificant and unprofitable to continue to occupy the colonies.

That is why Emperor Hua proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence at this time and took the lead in placing himself as the flagship of the world's human rights.

What is the main reason for the rapid development of Europe in the 17th and 19th centuries, if not plunder, then?

The development of Europe mainly comes from the Industrial Revolution, that is, to develop wealth from the embrace of "nature".

The development of the technology tree will be much richer than the poor in Africa, Asia, South America.

One watt doubled the UK's GDP in just a short time, and it can match the global "plunder" for 1,000 years!

Of course, in this history, China was the first country to move towards electrification!

This is not important. After China moved towards electrification, the entire Europe and the United States have entered the electrical era one after another, and there is not much technical content to hide here.

However, the automobile industry has developed, and other countries are still kept in the dark. Even merchants who have seen China's automobiles do not realize that this will be something that will drive the world's economy in the future.

How did the US president get rich by plundering South America?

The GDP of the United States is several times that of South America. Even if you grab South America to zero, it will only be enough for you to eat horses for a few years.

Europe is ahead of East Asia, and South America is more important than Europe and the United States' leading level.

When it comes to plundering the world, no one has gained benefits than the Mongols.

At that time, the most developed and wealthy places in the century were not Western Europe, but Arabia and China, and the Mongolians snatched them.

Have the Mongolians developed a developed economy?

No one plunders China and robbed the interests of the Manchus. Has the Eight Banners developed a developed economy?

Whether large countries have developed in history has always been the development of science and technology.

Plunder, good wind and rain (good luck), and even hard work are auxiliary factors.

Therefore, Emperor Hua is actually not interested in plundering land. He can't let it be desolate after seizing it. Moreover, how many people will die if he seizes a place, even in a very poor area?

The reason why Emperor Hua took Japan at all costs was that he was hurting people. He had the intention to destroy Japan from the beginning and would not have been so harsh in other places.

What is the purpose of foreigners' colonization?

Kill all the indigenous people to obtain colonial resources and discover new crops to promote population growth.

Buying and selling black slaves, forced labor.

What is the purpose of forcing the dependent countries to lower tariffs?

Foreigners plundered the colonial resources and completed their original accumulation, giving birth to the industrial revolution.

Industry requires money, and technology requires food. If you don’t have spare money, you will starve to death. How can industry and technology develop?

Moreover, even if many countries seem to be sovereign and independent, they are actually seriously affected by the suzerain states in terms of economy and are just carried out through trade.

The world's largest colonial country can colonize the world by printing currency.

This is the society that Emperor Hua experienced before he was reborn, and almost everyone knows it.

Therefore, Emperor Hua had to extend his hands and cover his power, but he did not require in-depth work, nor did he require control over the specific person. In the policy of the beginning of the colonial era, Emperor Hua had already designed it in advance!

The reason why Emperor Hua can make China develop rapidly is because of its grasp of economy, military, and policies, and it should be in the preparation stage every time.

Each great power has a different attitude towards the colony.

Spain blindly plundered Latin American colonies, which is also related to the Spanish colonial era.

After all, the reason why I supported Columbus to find India was to make a fortune. When I saw that everyone in the Indians were stupid, everyone would have to plunder them.

During the Spanish colonization, Spain was still in the Middle Ages, with religious judges running all over the ground, and the spring breeze of the Renaissance also had little influence on Spain.

Latin American countries have not established perfect laws, coupled with political instability, prevalence of corruption, and a single economic structure (Banana Republic), which has led to their hundred years of loneliness. When it becomes a bunch of countries with no sense of existence! Most of the richest Chile also relies on minerals.

Among the British colonies, except for India, Myanmar and other countries, there are serious ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, and traditional cultures that are complicated by nature; the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries are all developed countries.

The era of British colonization was the era of Enlightenment and even the Industrial Revolution.

The theories of Voltaire, Rousseau, etc. are not deeply rooted in people's hearts, but at least they have some influence.

The thirteen North American states basically adopted autonomy, and the British country's national legal system was sound and politically stable. The British colonies without traditional culture naturally adopted British politics to rule or accept British model rule.

North America and Australia have fertile land and abundant minerals. The United Kingdom has brought about the prototype of a stable and efficient government. Britain's investment in colonial industry and commerce, etc., has created a large number of developed countries.

French colonies include Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Algeria.

Algeria is relatively better. Vietnam is devastated by war, Laos has few countries and poor people, and Cambodia is devastated by the Khmer Rouge, which is comparable to the Nazis' destruction of Jews.

These places cannot develop, but they have a lot to do with themselves.

Compared with the UK, the one that poses a greater threat to the Emperor and China, and even the biggest threat is France. Because France is causing trouble in the South Asian Peninsula, it directly threatens the security of China's local security. However, the Emperor of China now lacks funds and industry is just starting, and it needs to maintain a stable situation, otherwise France would have been educated by force long ago!

Emperor Hua never took France in the 19th century, because the current Chinese country is no longer a corrupt society under the Qing court.
