The people who applauded differently, and the listeners in front of the radio had simple ideas. They actually didn't care what Yang Rui was saying. They only cared about Yang Rui's attitude. No reason was needed. As long as Yang Rui said that China had hope, then China must be hopeful. The Prime Minister was a Chinese hero. Now, in order for China to last forever, he abdicated and gave way to the wise. What reason did people not believe his good words when he stepped down?

In Yang Rui's words, they only remembered that "China (civilization) is unique, because when other (civilizations) disappear, only we can survive and our ancestors bless us." Just these few words can completely relieve everyone.

However, some people who wanted to hear policies and opportunities from Yang Rui's speech were very disappointed: Liang Qi from Shanghai immediately turned off the radio after listening to the speech; Hu Shi from Yenching University listened and smiled bitterly; representatives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai looked around while listening. They found it difficult to distinguish the business opportunities and national policies. There are actually many explanations for "self-protection". For example, protecting overseas Chinese is also self-protection. The navy patrolled the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Persian Gulf, which is even more self-protection, but what is not self-protection?

Apart from these people, the officers and soldiers of the Fuxing Army were disappointed. Doing nothing to the outside world means that they have no chance to grant titles and ceasings. People will grow old. If they really have to wait until the day they retire, there will still be no war. Isn’t this life extremely regretful? None of these people have been awarded titles, and many people are not even soldiers.

The generals and schools who have made achievements did not care much about the foreign policy that Yang Rui mentioned. They are already fame and wealthy, not as eager for quick success and instant benefits as poor and young officers. What they care about is that Yang Rui has really retreated, which means that many people have not yet experienced everything. They thought that the position of prime minister will always be from the Revival Society, but this time they promoted Song Jiaoren!

To be honest, Yang Rui's speech was like pouring ice water into boiling soup. The overall effect did not cause any big waves. However, as soon as the ice water was put into the pot, it quietly sank into the bottom of the pot, becoming the most important ruling foundation of Greater China and the ruling foundation of all governments in later generations.

"Prime Minister. Do you really think that Europe will be occupied by barbaric tribes from Africa and the Middle East?" The reporter's questioning time began. The first person to stand up was Morrison, a Times reporter. He should have died of illness seven years ago and lived long because he continued to stay in China. He admired Yang Rui. But Yang Rui's argument about Europe being occupied by alien races in the future is too scary.

"Of course, there is a very great possibility." Yang Rui's first question at every press conference was to Morixun (in exchange for his cultural relics to stay in China forever). When he was stunned and asked why, Yang Rui said again: "But one premise cannot be missing, that is, the rebirth of World War Is Another. By then, all Europeans will eagerly pray for peace. Just like some people in France now, by then, France and Germany will move towards reconciliation, and other countries will move towards reconciliation, and then the entire Europe will eventually begin to be substantial unification.

This is similar to the Chinese Qin Shihuang swept the six countries. Of course, the process was not so bloody. Unification was achieved by all Europeans who were tired of war and were achieved by politicians on the negotiating table. Although it was not bloody, it was exactly the same as Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries. In such a Europe, science would continue to be developed. But philosophy could never pass the achievements made by European philosophers before. At that time, academics only extended other definitions from the definition of philosophers in the 19th century, just like some branches growing from the trunk. Everyone knows that since it is a branch, its height and depth can never go above the trunk, because the nutrients accumulated in the Middle Ages have been exhausted, and the flame of civilization is gradually extinguishing.

At the same time, public opinion will be like France today. Please regret it. I mentioned France many times. It is not that I think the French are not brave, but that France sacrificed millions of people in the last war. The battlefield is also in France, so the French people's prayer for peace is the strongest. If the book reborn in World War I, you can imagine what kind of damage the Second World War will cause and how many people will die. By then, the whole of Europe will be tired of war. At this time, public opinion will push peace to the extreme and mass democracy to the extreme.

"Yang Rui said a common word in later generations. Seeing that Morixun did not understand at all, he had to add an explanation: "That is, the po1ities, in order to avoid war and unrest, they strongly advocate socialism and mass democracy, and the result will only turn Europe into a country with high welfare, high taxation and low birth rate; not only that, in the spirit of universality and pacifism, they will be extremely tolerant of foreign immigrants. They love all living things in the world, including poultry and animals, and may even think that animals are much better than humans. (Laughs)

Europe seems to be very worried that Chinese immigrants will occupy Europe. In fact, they should have thought that China is far away from the East, and the Chinese people cannot reach Europe at all, and the Chinese government does not want their citizens to travel to Europe. On the contrary, immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East along the Mediterranean coast are likely to flood the entire Europe in decades.

By that time, immigrants in Europe could be seen everywhere, her economy had no growth or slow growth, and every family did not want to have children, please pay attention! One of the missions of human beings to live is to reproduce offspring. When a civilized family does not want to have children due to the influence of social public opinion, then this civilization has begun to die.

On the one hand, Europeans do not want to have children, and on the other hand, immigrants from North Africa or the Middle East are attracted by high wages and benefits from Europe to Europe. It is conceivable that Europe will completely fall in two hundred years."

"no!" Like Morrison, the ambassadors of European countries to China looked at each other after hearing Yang Rui's answer, staring at each other in a daze, especially the French ambassador was the most shocked, but at this time Yang Rui had already clicked the second questioner, an Associated Press reporter.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you seem to have a bad feeling about democracy. Could it be that democracy will be the cause of civilization's death?"

"It's totally correct!" Yang Rui didn't care about expressing his true thoughts. "You can go to the southern states of the United States to take a look. Although the Constitution stipulates that everyone has the right to vote, there are still many people in the south who are not qualified to vote. From the standpoint of human beings, this is inhumane and undemocratic, but from the standpoint of purebred Americans, you can't say that this is wrong, so this is the most tangled when dealing with overseas Chinese in the United States. It is precisely because of this that I will ask your country to protect the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese in the United States while strictly controlling the number of people going to the United States on the other hand. It is completely believed that the number of overseas Chinese in the United States will definitely decrease in the future.

If you find it difficult to get answers in the southern states, then suggest that you look at the history of ancient Greece and study the transition between monarchs, aristocrats and republics in ancient Greek city-states. When republic democracy reaches its peak, empires will appear. This is very clear in ancient Greek history and Roman history. When the imperial system reaches its late stage, tyranny will rise. Specifically, countless voters choose a person who claims to love the people and serve the people as the president of the United States. The first thing this president does after he comes to power is to confiscate the property of American proprietors and then distribute it to the poor voters who support him to come to power."

"This is impossible! Sir." Although the Associated Press reporter praised democracy, he could not imagine that there would be such a president in the United States.

"If Europe really evolved like what I said just now, it was entirely possible." Yang Rui smiled in his heart when he thought of the later medical bills of O'Hai. For example, the medical bills, many poor people in your country do not have medical insurance, but if a president mandatoryly requests them to be included in medical insurance, these poor people have no money, so they can only increase taxes on those with property. At this time, do you think this is robbing the rich or the government increases taxes? You can't explain clearly. If the ideas of European white leftists are passed on to the United States, public opinion generally requires the United States to implement the welfare system that Europe has already implemented. Then Congress and the Supreme Court will agree to such a bill.

And this is just the beginning! Once a president successfully robs the rich, there will be more and more robberies in the future. This is like the democratic regimes in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. In order to obtain the votes of the people, the candidates can make unscrupulous promises and pay the promises often come from the proprietors in their own country. However, when these proprietors are slaughtered and the entire society becomes a sandy society, the tyrants will come to power. So I have always believed that mass democracy and tyrants are separated by a wall. Martial conquerors are actually not scary. Tyrants who are democratically elected to power are the most scary.

From the perspective of civilization, American civilization and European civilization have the same roots. Once European civilization declines, it will also decline because of the connection between the veins. From this perspective, I think it was completely correct for the US Congress to not approve your country to join the League of Nations, because if civilization declines, Europe will definitely precede the United States. Therefore, not intervening in matters outside of America 6 and cutting off the transmission of ideas from the United States during the period of European civilization decline is the only effective means to keep American civilization eternal forever."

"Prime Minister. Why can Chinese civilization have a second round of life? Can you tell me in detail?" After fooling Americans, Yang Rui ordered the third reporter was Huang Yuanyong of the Empire Times.

Seeing that he was asking this, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Next year I will launch a revival of the East. But here I can briefly answer your question.

First, the reason why Chinese civilization has a second round of life is our geography. Although this is not a main reason, it is also an important factor. Even now, the Yangtze River is also a natural danger in military affairs. When the Chinese regime invaded the Great Wall, the Yangtze River automatically became the second line of defense. Similar lines of defense were not available when the barbarians invaded Rome.

Secondly, the scale of Chinese civilization is very large. During the Han Dynasty, our population exceeded 30 million. The maintenance of civilization requires sufficient population, and the army needs enough strong men. Therefore, those who think that Chinese civilization will surely perish are blind. They cannot see that China's population has exceeded 50 million, and they cannot see that every household wants to have more children. In fact, as long as we do not deny ourselves and do not slander ourselves, Chinese civilization will last forever.

Finally, and most importantly, the Chinese civilization continues to exist in the particularity of Chinese characters. Words are the only carrier of civilization, and the demise of words is equivalent to the demise of civilization. As we all know, we use hieroglyphs, while the ancient Romans used Latin letters. Although we defended the south in the Battle of Feishui in history, the north was still in the fall, but unlike the European barbarian tribes who used Roman letters to create their own words, it was difficult for the Hu people to borrow Chinese characters to create their own words.

It can be said that there are only twenty-six letters. The barbarians can borrow the letters and add their own unique roots to recreate a word, while the Latin language is completely abandoned and become a dead language. But Chinese characters cannot do this. You cannot remove a radical and piece together a radical, and then say that this is Xianbei characters, or that this is Qiang characters. This will make everyone laugh! A discerning person can tell at a glance that this character was stolen, stolen from the Chinese civilization. I think other countries dare not use such characters except for some countries with the same roots as China.

Even if there are Hu people, such as the Western Xia and the Khitan, they have borrowed Han Chinese characters and strokes to create characters. However, once such characters meet Chinese characters, they are fake Li Gui and real Li Kui. Even those who are illiterate can understand that Chinese characters are complete, while Khitan is lacking. You should know that Chinese characters are valuable accumulations of Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Words and calligraphy related to characters have become extremely exquisite. This cannot be subverted by a few geniuses of the Khitan tribe who have to sleep and eat.

Because of this, the Hu people who conquered half of China could not truly borrow Chinese characters like the European barbarians borrowed Latin letters. If they wanted to rule China, they had to learn Chinese characters. Chinese characters were not only twenty-six letters. They had to learn them all. So when the Hu people finished learning all Chinese characters, they would suddenly realize that they had already become Chinese (laugh, applaud).

Therefore, from this perspective, the continuation of Chinese civilization is closely related to Chinese characters, and the reason why Europe has no unity is also because it cannot be unified in words. We don’t care about small seal script to official script, traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese, but when one day all Chinese characters are changed to pinyin letters, then the four thousand-year-old Chinese civilization will be destroyed."

"Master Prime Minister, is the continuation of civilization so important? For ordinary people, they only care about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation." The reporter asked the fourth question did not give special advice like before. This time, Yang Rui chose the person who held his hand the highest, but this person was a Westernized person.

"Then you can ask the people. It's so troublesome to worship ancestors, why do you have to sacrifice every year?" Before he finished his question, Yang Rui interrupted his words, but this person did not want to compromise. He rushed to say, "This is a manifestation of ignorance and ignorance. Any such country must be a backward country, like India. And those advanced countries, because of the universal morality and democracy of society, often live better. Enjoy more freedom and power, and society is becoming more harmonious. Prime Minister, isn't this the trend of the world today? Instead of eliminating the ignorance and ignorance of the people, our government simply encourages them to fool the people and ignorance, and even risk the world's ruthlessness to establish the state religion. Is this the act of a legal government?"

"Is this reporter finished speaking?" Yang Rui looked at the young man and was furious.

"I'm done." A reporter reached out to hold his glasses, and the reporter's certificate hanging on his chest was deliberately half-covered, revealing only the word "ping". Although he was extremely nervous, he still tried to calm down.

"In the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, Europe was still dark. Suppose that a European who had traveled to the Tang Dynasty magically appeared in Italy, Rome, or Paris, then what he said was no different from what you said now. At least, he would describe the territory of the Frank Kingdom and the Kings of Burgundy, just like the kings of the Kingdom of Frank, how vast the territory of the Tang Empire was, how rich the emperor was, ordinary people even wore silk and satin only European nobles, and their personal wealth was more than some European lords; he would also say that that was the trend of world civilization and the direction of humanity's progress.

But is this really meaningful?!" Yang Rui looked at the young reporter and saw him dodging, "Don't mention the Tang Dynasty, Marco Polo, an Italian who had traveled to China during the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, also sincerely praised the wealth of the East. But the contrast between this kind of civilization is really meaningless.

It's like a man who is not yet visible, and his mother-in-law doesn't like him. For example, when I asked my wife for marriage more than 20 years ago, my father-in-law was worried that I was a revolutionary party and almost knocked me out of the house. (Laughing) How could he think that I would be the founding prime minister of Greater China?

The comparison between civilized bodies and civilized bodies is simply ambiguous. First, it is completely wrong to compare the Chinese civilization that is on the verge of death with the Western Ocean, which has just passed its prime. This is like using the prosperous Tang Dynasty to compare the medieval period of Europe, and there is no comparison at all. Moreover, the prosperity of any civilization will absorb the nutrients of other existing civilizations or lost civilizations, especially when there is exchange between the East and the West. For example, gunpowder was spread to Europe with Genghis Khan's army, and the foundation of the hot weapons of Western civilization originated from this. Without this foundation, where did foreign guns and cannons come from?

The Westernizations talk about the fact that they have absorbed the elements of civilization around the world and are in their heyday to discredit the Chinese civilization at a low point. This is something that Westernized elements are talking about. This is also the real root of all Westernization that some people advocate the abolition of Chinese characters and written classical Chinese. Their knees are born to kneel, and they only see the prosperity of the West, and they do not think about the basis on which this prosperity is based.

They also despise those nations that are now regarded as backward and barbaric by the world. For example, India, Africa, and the Middle East are complacent for their uncivilization, because compared to the West, he thinks he is backward and barbaric. But seeing these nations, he feels a little superior, and there are even worse ones. He envys Western civilization on one side without thinking about backward nations on the other side without thinking about them. I think there is no more contemptuous attitude than this.

In fact, we can predict that when Western civilization gradually declines, those who rise later are called backward and barbaric nations, religions and tribal primitive beliefs that allow them to maintain their national vitality. After hundreds of years, when religion fades, philosophers who have been imprisoned for a long time will appear, and existing technology will allow them to stand at a higher starting point, and they will be able to create a civilization that is twice as good as the current Western civilization.

At that time, even if there was no racial massacre, Europe would be occupied by them. One of the most important reasons was that every European was single. They lived for themselves and their family life made them boring, so they were unwilling to raise their offspring because the future seemed completely nothing to them. The tribes in North Africa and the Middle East were willing to give birth. They had just come out of religion and tribes, but having no personal concept does not mean that they would not use individualism or use mass democracy. It can be imagined that when part of Europe was black or Islamic green, the death knell of European civilization would ring.

Moreover, not only is the death knell of Europe ringing. America, which is closely related to it, will also be implicated. What I am talking about is nothingness, extreme individualism, and the idea of ​​the White Left Virgin. If America cannot adhere to isolationism, it will definitely follow the footsteps of Europe and move towards decline. This is actually completely consistent with the decline of ancient Rome. The ancient Greek civilization, who was entering decline at that time, passed on the thoughts produced by its own decline to Rome. Therefore, the election model born in Athens reappeared in Rome hundreds of years later, and the republic eventually became an empire, and the empire eventually turned into destruction.

As for your other question, establishing the state religion. Religion is actually the only way for the declining nation to cause life and death, because those individualists who are full of emptied and pessimistic and unwilling to have children can only get rid of the characteristics of the declining civilization after hundreds of years of infiltration of religion. Any civilization, whether it is the first or second round of life, must go through a long religious era. Taking the second round of civilization in China as an example, if there is no baptism of Buddhism, it will not be a splendid Tang Dynasty. This is why the order in the history of literature is Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Song, and then in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were novels to support their appearance, but the Qing Dynasty only had philology.

The era of civilization and vitality is actually an era when we have just gotten rid of religion. This is the ultimate reason why Shakespeare can never be surpassed. Later generations can only imitate Shakespeare; this is also Li Taibai, "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, and it flows to the sea without returning. You don't see the bright mirror in the hall, and the morning is like blue hair and snow in the evening. You have to be happy in life, and don't let the golden cup empty against the moon. I am born with my talents, and I will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold is gone.'

You guys, do you have such poems after the prosperous Tang Dynasty? Do you have such a rushing and turbulent feeling? No, because that is the pinnacle of the second round of Chinese civilization. Not to mention Tang poetry, even the Yuan songs can’t surpass them. Why? Because the civilization nutrients accumulated in the religious era have been exhausted, and the more people become secular, utilitarian, and despicable.

It is said that literature is like the other person. A literati who is servile to high-ranking officials and nobles, a literati who is petty about money, and a literati who lives in a secular utilitarian society cannot write such a passionate poem. Because when a person who can write such poems is deceived into a black brick kiln to move bricks as soon as he leaves the railway station. (Laughs)
