Yang Rui answered reporters' questions one by one more exciting than the other. Those who wanted to refute gave him a stage to show his thoughts. If it weren't for most of them Western journalists, ambassadors from all over the world would have thought that this was a drama written and performed by Chinese people. Because of this, foreign ambassadors became extremely anxious and uneasy, which was almost a slander of the West. However, because the words came out of Yang Rui and were in an academic way, more importantly, Yang Rui had become a world-renowned historical philosopher, and his achievements in historical philosophy were recognized and praised by scholars all over the world.

Therefore, they were also anxious, among which French ambassador Wei Lide was the most anxious. Because France was indeed as Yang Rui said, there was no war in the world, and the people hated war more than Germans. If they really had the Second European War, he doubted whether France would suddenly collapse like Tsarist Russia. At this time, Mr. Wei Lide wanted to ask Yang Rui how to live in the Second European War? And if it should be avoided? But Chinese and foreign journalists surrounded the lecture stand tightly and threw questions at Yang Rui one by one.

"The last question." Yang Rui, who had just answered the Japanese reporter, saw that the time was almost over, was about to end it. He looked at his arms raised like a bush and finally pointed a female reporter. He didn't want this person to be a foreigner, and it seemed that he was not a reporter. "Master, if it is true as you described, Western civilization will die, then will China and Japan want to invade the West like barbarians?"

"This is completely impossible!" Yang Rui felt the danger of the problem and immediately denied it. "If China and Japan cannot adhere to their civilization and blindly pursue Western ideas, such as mass democracy, individualism, socialism, and uncontrollable modernization, then they will also be infected with the toxins transmitted during the decline of Western civilization and die together with Western civilization.

For how Western civilization dies, we can fully open history and see how ancient Rome died. In the 180th year of the calendar of Jesus, that is, the last Roman emperor, Mark Aurelius, the Roman Empire began to enter the era of decline. It was also the era of civilization collapse. From this time on, there were signs of death in Rome before this. For example, the Romans who advocated force became increasingly decadent, and the citizens were unwilling to join the army. In the end, only some vagrants were willing to join the army. In addition, the Roman army filled with Germans and other foreign races still had certain combat effectiveness; there were also material hedonism and world-weariness.

After Emperor Aurelius' death, outside, the empire gradually collapsed; inside, the phenomenon of not getting married and infertility was extremely common. Because of the decline in fertility rate and the decrease in population, the quality of citizens also declined; the social atmosphere was slacking off and idle, and many people would rather accept national relief than work to support themselves. As a result, the country's fields were deserted and unmanaged, and the whole society showed a state of waiting for death. After that, the invasion of the barbarians was just to help clean up the mess. It can be said that the demise of Rome was simply self-destruction, which was a sign of civilization's development to the end. Since this phenomenon could have appeared in the late Roman civilization more than a thousand years ago, it would appear in unified Europe after World War II.

If China, Japan and North Korea can prevent the spread of toxins during the decline of Western civilization, then we can only protect ourselves at this time, which means that East Asia was in the long medieval era. And if we cannot prevent the spread of toxins produced during the decline of Western civilization in China, we envy the splendid civilization of the Western civilization, just like the reporter who asked the question just now, and actively integrate into Western civilization like Marco Polo, then we will also be in decline. This is not that China, Japan, and North Korea invaded Europe or America, but that we were invaded by barbarians, that is, barbaric tribes of Africa, the Middle East, and South America, just like Europe and America.

From this point of view, it is very necessary for the world to have a multi-civilization system, because when one civilization declines, another civilization can continue to rise, even if China, Japan, North Korea and other countries eventually decline due to active integration into Western civilization. However, the so-called backward and backward nations in Africa, the Middle East, and South America can still take over the torch of civilization and continue to move forward. But no matter what, the decline of Western civilization is the greatest misfortune in human history. Therefore, I sincerely hope that World War II will not be born.

Because once they are born, the death knell will soon ring, and then you will find that all Europeans will no longer join the army, just like the ancient Romans a thousand years ago, under the idea of ​​war and extreme pacifism; at the same time, under the influence of nihilism, world-weariness, and extreme individualism, they are unwilling to get married, and even more unwilling to have children; finally, under the idea of ​​mass democracy and socialism, the welfare of the whole society will be very high, and the taxes for those with proprietors and companies are very heavy. At this time, no one will go to work, everyone enjoys the welfare of the country, everyone's lives are exquisite and comfortable, and they almost have to achieve the ideal of distribution on demand, but since the comfortable autumn has come, will winter be far away?

Okay, everyone, because of time, this question ends here. In the end, I only have one sentence to you:." Yang Rui spoke in Latin. Looking at the Chinese reporters who didn't understand, he had to translate: "Those who are willing will lead their fate; those who are unwilling will lead their fate. Thank you!"

An ancient Greek philosophical saying originally written at the end of the second part of the Decline in the West was spoken by Yang Rui at this time, which made him as sacred and inviolable as if he was reading the will of God; and it was approaching noon, and the bright sunshine shone straight from the sky, and in the halo, he was like a god.

Since the press conference was over, the reporters were about to be sent out of the Forbidden City by the Imperial Guards. However, Zhang Taiyan, who had been listening, suddenly brought more than 600 representatives from both houses to a straight crown, and then he wanted Yang Rui to kneel down, among which Wang Guowei was dressed in the Qing Dynasty.

Kneeling and worshiping was abolished in China, and he only bowed four times to King Min (if he became emperor, he bowed five times). But now Zhang Taiyan's kneeling and worshiping three times to nine times. This is obviously a great ceremony to meet the emperor and worship his ancestors. Yang Rui avoided the situation and said in a shocked manner: "Uncle Mei, why are you? You guys, get up quickly!"

He said, but Zhang Taiyan and others were still indifferent, and only bowed three times and nine times to his previous position. After the ceremony, Zhang Taiyan said, "It has become a saint today! We naturally have to bow three times and nine times to the saints." After answering this sentence, Yang Rui said, "Since the Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the national studies have been defeated so much. However, today, the Civilization Wheel of Civilization has been released, which has enlightened us: civilization has life and death, culture has flourished and declining. Our country and people do not have to underestimate national studies, but are dedicated to the west wind. From today on, the decline of the West and the revival of the East are the supreme classics of our Great China, and the way to govern the country and the world is all in it!"

After Zhang Taiyan summoned the reporters like a summoning, he ignored their questions and waved to the Imperial Guards to send them out. Yang Rui did not expect that the sudden enlightenment a few days ago would have such an effect. Seeing that he was still stunned, when did he become a saint?

"Prime Minister" Yang Rui had not settled the accounts with Zhang Taiyan, and the foreign ambassadors surrounded him again, but it was obvious that the German ambassador and the Soviet ambassador were deliberately squeezed out of the way. "Will World War II really give birth?" Frenchman Wei Lide said anxiously: "Can't we stop the war from happening?"

I had originally wanted these foreign ambassadors to come to discuss World War II. Yang Rui had to let Zhang Taiyan go to see this and said with a smile: "It's almost impossible to say it pessimistically." After he said that, he was anxious when he saw the foreigners, and he said: "I have said before that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh on Germany, and the occupation of the Ruhr area in the past few years was too reckless. Now every German is resentful, and if an understanding is to be reached, the huge compensation must be cancelled and the lost German territory must be returned.

However, if the compensation is cancelled, Great Britain, France and Italy will have to repay the war debts of more than 40 billion US dollars, including interest in the United States, which obviously cannot satisfy the people of all countries. Therefore, the only thing that works now is that the United States lends to Germany through the Dawys plan, and the profits of the German economy become compensations and handed over to Great Britain, France and Italy, and then handed over to the United States, forming a cycle. But this cycle is not stable, the US economy seems to be prosperous, but it is just a false prosperity."

"Mr. Prime Minister, this" I heard about the US economy. US Ambassador Ma Murui couldn't sit still, but when he thought of Yang Rui's title of "manager scientist, economist", he couldn't question it, after all, he was just a diplomat.

"Ambassador Mamuri. Your country's economy had already bubbled during the European war. When the war ended and Europe gradually restored its industrial capacity, due to political reasons, your country was still unwilling to squeeze out the excess production capacity generated by the stimulus of the war, and not to squeeze out. Instead, due to early consumption, stock market speculation has expanded its production capacity again. Your country's production capacity is so huge that it can only drive the economy by relying on foreign exports. Your country has significantly increased tariffs, which makes countries around the world unable to obtain US dollars to purchase your country's goods.

The reason why it can be barely maintained now is that your country will borrow 1 billion US dollars from abroad every year, and your country's nationals will spend 600 million US dollars in traveling in Europe. This money can only barely drive your country's domestic economy. But the economic model of using foreign loans to drive exports is difficult to last. Just like maintaining prosperity through stock market speculation, when the stock market collapses, it will be too late."

"Prime Minister, what does the relationship between the American economy and the European War?" Wei Lide saw that Yang Rui only talked about the American economy, and asked again. In his opinion, this had nothing to do with the European War.

"The US economy is of course closely related to Europe. The German economy relies entirely on US loan support. In the Ruhr crisis five years ago, Germany was already in political turmoil. If the US economy has a crisis, then the German economy will definitely be the most affected. Everything that arises during the Ruhr crisis will naturally resurrect in Germany during the economic crisis."

Yang Rui originally wanted to achieve two goals through the press conference: one was to put the United States into isolationism; the other was to prevent the birth of World War II. But now, because of the impromptu strokes when answering reporters' questions, some new things suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly appeared a trap, a huge and cruel trap. Therefore, at this time, he did not want to say too much about World War II. In other words, at this time, he once again felt that he should adjust the national strategy, which would be the last adjustment, because at this time he had completely understood history and the future.

When he was resigning, he was having a banquet. During the streets of the mansion, the crowd was restrained. In the end, the Huangqi official car was not driven, but was pushed away by people. It was pushed to the door of the Duke's Mansion. Everyone cried and shouted that he was reluctant to leave the office, and even more reluctant to leave the capital, but this could not be changed.

However, on this night, Wang Jitong, Zhang Taiyan, Xu Huafeng, Du Yaquan and Xie Zhangtai were invited to the mansion by him. He felt that what he felt during the day must be shared with them, which is related to the fate of the entire country and nation.

"Please come, I suddenly realized a trap. This trap means to invite you into the trap. If you don't enter, you must enter." In the reception room of the secretariat, Yang Rui, who was wearing silk clothes, no longer had the majesty of the Prime Minister, his voice was still extremely calm.

"Please tell me." Wang Jitong glanced at the others. He felt that things should be quite small, otherwise he would not invite everyone to come together.

"I will make a statement first. I said this not because I want to change something, but just to show that there is a big problem here." Yang Rui said cautiously, "and the reason I told everyone is to reach a consensus; as for the solution, there is no need to have it, there is no need to worry about it." After he said that, he saw the five people sitting upright and listening carefully, and said, "I just summarized the theory of civilization life cycle a few days ago. When answering questions from reporters at today's press conference, he realized that we are in a huge trap. Although I just realized that there was no time to prove it, intuition and experience told me that this is real."

It was better to be enthusiastic at the morning press conference. At this time, Yang Rui's expression was extremely calm, but hesitant in his heart. He was hesitating whether to confess that he was from the next year and from 2013 years, but Zhang Taiyan's words made him hold back. He said: "It turns out, you say it, we believe whatever you say."

"Okay! Please keep it confidential." Yang Rui habitually opened the show, and then raised his voice before saying: "Just as I said in my morning when I answered reporters, if Europe experiences another war, that is, World War II, then Europe will move towards unification and civilization will decline. But the root of American civilization is in Europe, and Americans will definitely stand up and take over the position of Britain and become the world hegemon. This is a historical trend we have discussed before and need to find ways to stop it. Because the British rule of the world will not suppress us. But the Puritan American ruled the world will definitely hate us and try our best to make us accept American democracy and American culture. In fact, judging by the civilization life cycle, this is actually respawning the life of Western civilization!"

"Life-extending?" The crowd looked at Yang Rui, feeling a little difficult to accept the word.

"Yes, life-sustaining." Yang Rui said with certainty. He thought of China, which changed its opening in later generations. He thought of the world economy as the G2O summit, which was actually just a G2 meeting between China and the United States, and the Pacific Economic Circle that drives the world economy. After thinking about these things, he sighed: "Europe is indeed about to decline, but due to historical reasons, even if he has no colonies, he still has the world's economy, trade, finance and technology, which are the sources of profit; and the United States is the world hegemon, just like the Roman Empire would not watch Greece decline, and the United States would not see Europe decline.

Therefore, the United States will help old Europe to prolong its life, while the whole world will help the United States to prolong its life. The specific approach is to convert the world currency from pound to dollar, and the dollar will be decoupled from gold at some point. Those dollars without gold support will eventually use oil as the anchor of the dollar's currency. They will reach an agreement with the Middle Eastern countries that are rich in oil, that is, oil trade can only be settled in US dollars. In the end, because all countries have to hold US dollars, and the US dollar without gold reserves can be printed at will, which is equivalent to the United States charging seigniorage to the world.

In addition to maintaining the hegemony of the United States, the other seigniorships are transformed into the welfare of the people of European and American countries. If you don’t have money, you can turn on the printing press and quantitative easing. The whole world is the dumping place of US dollar banknotes. In exchange for these printed dollars, the whole world needs grandfather to support the United States and Europe. The economies of these countries can indeed prosper, but the majority of profits have been harvested by the United States and European countries. These harvested profits have formed a source of high welfare in European and American countries, which has allowed Western civilization to survive. Because they have died long ago because of the lack of these tribute taxes."

Yang Rui said something without stopping. Wang Jitong and Zhang Taiyan, who are not familiar with the economy, didn't know what this meant at all, but Xu Huafeng, Xie Zhangtai and Du Yaquan could barely understand it. Du Yaquan said: "Why are countries around the world willing to use the US dollar instead of other currencies? Even if it is gold."

"After all, the output of gold is limited, and the most important thing is that when foreigners hit us with guns, we must learn everything from foreigners and regard everything from foreigners as a guideline. Foreigners say that to modernize, countries around the world will be modernized; foreigners say that gold is a relic of barbarism and should no longer adhere to the gold standard, so countries around the world will give up the gold standard. Adopt the dollar standard; foreigners say that democracy is good justice, so we must also democracy; foreigners advocate individualism and indulge in material hedonism, so we must also advocate individualism and material hedonism.

When the entire country is brainwashed by Western civilization, it is appropriate to imitate foreigners in culture, ideology, economy and finance. Those civilizations should be called post-countries or developing countries. Although they are paying tribute to foreigners, the goods within these countries will become rich, and the people who are trapped in material hedonism naturally support governments that can provide unlimited commodities. Similarly, the toxins produced when Western civilization declines will also be transmitted to these countries, and these countries use the accumulated civilization energy to prolong Western civilization's life.

In the end, the signs of decline that should have been born only in Europe and the United States will be born in these countries, such as lower fertility rates, extreme individualism, such as everyone wants to get something for nothing, waiting for national relief. These countries are like vampires sucking blood, and instead of Western civilization, they enter the decline of civilization ahead of schedule.

Although this is a trap, we have to jump in. First, the people will be tempted by Western material hedonism and American democracy. Once the rulers cannot provide rich commodities, they will protest against rebellion, and European and American countries will also ask you to join the world trade and join the blood-sucking economic network they formed. Second, if you don’t follow, you will refuse to be fooled. The foreigners will naturally use guns to deal with you in the name of human rights and justice. If you want to compete with it, you will naturally jump into the trap they set to obtain the weapons created by Western civilization, so "

Yang Rui stood up and spread his hands, and then said, "It's like a scholar encountering a robber. If you don't join the gang, you will kill you, rob your property, or control you through a puppet; and you join. Then, as a novice, half of the property you stolen will be tributed to the robber leader.

In fact, the robber leader is about to die, but the things you stolen just allow him to prolong his life. Although you have gained something, you could have had your own independent door in the future. But now you may even be killed in the robber leader. You did not die for yourself, you died for the robber leader. In this mode, only when the last good person coerced by the robber loses his life, the robber leader will starve to death.

Everyone, this is the trap I see. To be precise, this should be called the modernization trap. Modernization of any country will drive the world economy, and driving the world economy is equivalent to prolonging the life of Western civilization; but if it does not modernize, foreigners will overthrow you, and then instill Western civilization in this country and start modernization by others.

And, in the eyes of the people, you are evil, while Americans are just. Because American spirit can allow them to enjoy more material things, although they have to pay heavy tribute taxes for this; although they will replace Americans and Europeans in decades and hundreds of years, who can take the initiative to decline? Foreign compradors who are addicted to materialism, utilitarianism and individualism will blame those who are cautious in their original intentions and are not greedy, because this hinders their wealth."

Yang Rui stood up and spread his hands, but Zhang Taiyan jumped up after hearing this. He said, "It's true! Twenty years ago, Gu Hongming wrote a letter to the Russian literary giant Tolstoy. The letter from Nas was published in the Osaka Daily News. In the letter, Si Shi said, "It is absolutely not advisable to be a Faspis." Instead, "conservative agricultural life and believe in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the disaster will disappear."

It turned out to be a trap. In fact, it was like the British trying every means, and even fighting to open the ports of the Qing Dynasty. What they really wanted was wealth, and these wealth eventually became welfare for the British and supported all white people."

"It's done, this matter." Xu Huafeng is the Industrial Party. He cares that China has its own industry and is no longer bullied by foreigners, but why did he fall into the trap of foreigners? He smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that we, and Japan, have worked hard for so many years, and all the things we did wrong?"

"Of course this is not wrong." Yang Rui knew that his hard work was all about industry, so he immediately spoke out to comfort him. "I just said that there is such a trap, we must avoid risks and get benefits."

"It turns out that we can't do without US dollars in the future?" Du Yaquan said, "If other countries abolish the gold standard, can't we abolish it? Also, don't you say that Beiting's oil and gas fields are enough for us to last for a hundred years? We don't buy oil."

"But what if oil in the Middle East is cheap?" Yang Rui asked back that although the country is large, the world's products are extremely rich. According to market rules, we must participate in world trade to obtain cheaper raw materials or commodities; if we participate in world trade, we will naturally accept Western ideas, and eventually the entire country will inevitably fall into world trade, which is equivalent to falling into the trap of foreigners. It can be imagined that at that time, the most active place in the world economy was in the Pacific, with the world economy being the largest with two economic entities, China and the United States.

But what about big things? If you can't pay tribute taxes if you are big, you can't buy US Treasury bonds if you are big? International law, international trade rules, international monetary organizations, the World Bank, and the League of Nations, these are all set by foreigners, and you have to accept these rules; and once you accept them, you will start to use our blood and sweat to provide benefits to white people, prolong the lives of Western civilization, and end up in a mess!”
