I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【All this is thanks to Daiying. 】

【England was originally a colony, but it became independent because it was dissatisfied with Daiying's operation. 】

【So when preparing to establish the country, everyone had a strong sense of distrust towards the government, believing that state power was evil and the less government interfered, the better, which is the so-called small government concept. 】

【This is how the separation of powers came about, checks and balances were made, and the power of the government was weakened in various ways. 】

……

"Hmph!"

In many dynasties, many emperors looked displeased.

As emperors who hold supreme power, they naturally don't like this passage very much.

For them, the country should control everything and decide on matters of all sizes.

What "state power is evil" and "separation of powers"... in their hearts, are all treasonous words.

……

【At the same time. 】

[Individuals come together through common interests, integrate their strength, and gradually form various interest groups. 】

[They are deliberately pulled into the power structure, which can enhance their influence on the government, or directly restrict the government of the Eagle Sauce Country. 】

[Moreover, the competition between different interest groups creates a political balance, which can force the government to consider the interests of all parties when formulating policies. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of thought.

He was no stranger to deliberately creating party disputes.

In the court of the Ming Dynasty, the party disputes between the Zhejiang East Party and the Huaixi Party were deliberately indulged by him in order to achieve his own goals.

He felt that the key issue was not the party disputes, but whether the superiors could control the party disputes and balance the two sides of the party disputes so that they would not get out of control.

Because once it gets out of control, if one side becomes stronger, there will be big trouble.

Similarly, the situation in the Eagle Sauce Country is the same.

The key point of the struggle between various interest groups is that they cannot lose balance and must maintain balance.

But the problem is that in the Ming Dynasty, he, the emperor, is a balancer who is high above.

And in the Eagle Sauce Country, who will take on this responsibility?

If there is no such role, then Zhu Yuanzhang feels that the balance of the Eagle Sauce Government will be broken sooner or later.

……

[For example, the medical insurance interest groups in the Eagle Sauce Country are not without opponents. Various labor organizations have been against them and have also won. For example, more and more Eagle Sauce people are included in the medical insurance. ]

[It is precisely because of the deliberate introduction of interest groups that they give money to the top leaders of the Eagle Sauce Country, that is, political donations, which are legal. ]

……

"So that's it."

In the dimension of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di now understands.

This is considered "legal bribery" in the Eagle Sauce Country.

……

[This is the basic logic of the political system of the United States: restricting the government. ]

[It looks good, and for a long time]

383[But once this political 383 balance is broken, some powerful interest groups will control the state power and make profits for themselves. ]

[Unfortunately, this phenomenon has already occurred since the 1950s. ]

……

The Great Tang Taizong plane.

Li Shimin was not surprised at all.

He just felt that the balance of different interest groups fighting against each other in the Eagle Sauce Country would not last long.

In the process of national development, the development of various interest groups cannot be consistent.

There will always be some interest groups that become stronger and some interest groups that decline.

Then the balance will be broken.

……

[Several major interest groups used money to open the way, defeated their opponents, and slowly controlled the politics of the Eagle Sauce Country. ]

[After World War II, the establishment of the dollar hegemony allowed the financial interest groups represented by Wall Street to overwhelm the manufacturing groups in the Eagle Sauce Country. 】

【The power is getting bigger and bigger, bringing huge profits to the United States every year. 】

【Now no one can control it, no one can control it, and the financial giants have become the real uncrowned kings of the United States. 】

【After the fall of Big Brother, there is no rival in the world, so the military-industrial complex is everywhere, reaching its climax when Bush was in office, and opened two copies in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time, spending six or seven trillion US dollars in 19 years. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"By the way, what forces are the military-industrial complex?"

"Reply - It includes the military, military-industrial enterprises and some members of the U.S. Congress, so it is also called the military-industrial iron triangle."

"Reply - This is an interest group that makes money from the arms race, so it will fan the flames everywhere and deliberately exaggerate external threats."

"Reply - Let private companies control the country's defense, this is what will happen. For their own interests, these companies can't wait to fight every day."

"..."

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang shook his head slightly.

How important is national defense? How can it be controlled by private hands?

With the behavior of the U.S., it is no wonder that its government is controlled by various interest groups.

……

[And the medical interest group in the U.S. is even more ruthless. It relies on outrageous pricing to drain the finances of the federal and state governments through public medical insurance. 】

【To this day, the medical system of the United States is still dominated by interest groups and in chaos. 】

……

Watch the entire video.

Many ancient political elites in the past dynasties felt that the chaotic medical system of the United States would continue.

No matter who the president of the United States is, it is impossible to make fundamental changes.

Minor repairs are possible, but it is impossible to completely overthrow and start over.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[The most outrageous A-level strategic material, the same price as arms! The world's powerful countries are scrambling for it! ]

After this line of video headlines, there is a preface.

……

[This is the most outrageous strategic material during World War II. ]

[It is widely distributed in rural China, but was "scrambled for" by the world's powerful countries at that time, and it was a real "scramble". ]

[For it, the Eagle Sauce Country used its most valuable air transport capacity, the "Flying Tigers", to fly the most dangerous Hump Route to transport it back to China. ]

[For it, Big Brother can provide aid to China for free, but this thing must be exported to me. ]

[For it, the Hans Leopard Country gave China hundreds of thousands of sets of weapons and equipment for the German-equipped divisions. ]

[What kind of strategic material did the backward China have at that time, but the West did not? 】

……

After reading this preface.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were very curious.

What on earth could be so valuable in rural China?

The ancient people knew the situation of China during World War II very well.

At that time, it was definitely not a powerful country, and it was relatively backward in all aspects.

And the three countries of Eagle Sauce, Big Brother, and Hans Leopard were all first-class powers during World War II.

What items could China have at that time that were worth the three countries fighting for?

The ancient people stared at the giant screen in the sky, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

[The answer is very outrageous. ]

[It is pig bristles. ]

[Friends living in rural areas must know that the so-called pig bristles are the hairs that grow more than 5 cm between the neck and spine of the pig. 】

[During World War II, our Chinese pig bristles were A-level strategic materials, the same level as munitions, and were in short supply. 】

…

"Ah?!"

"How is this possible?"

The ancients of all dynasties were stunned instantly.

This answer was something they could never think of.

How could pig bristles be so valuable?

The ancients simply couldn't believe it.

After all, this thing was not considered a high-end thing even in the eyes of ordinary people in ancient China.

The ancients couldn't figure it out at all,

"What is the use of pig bristles? Why can it become an A-level strategic material?"

With these questions, the ancients continued to stare at the giant screen in the sky.

……

[In the military industry, from paintbrushes for painting warships, aircraft and various motor vehicles to brushes for cleaning the barrels and breech blocks of machine guns and cannons, pig bristles are indispensable. ]

[During World War II, Chinese pig bristles accounted for 75% of the world market share due to their unique quality. ]

[That is to say, all the participating countries who wanted to paint their weapons so that these weapons would not be exposed to the front line, must use Chinese pig bristles. ]

[In the production of nylon materialsAt present, nothing can replace pig bristles. 】

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The relevant video images were inserted and played on the high-altitude giant screen. It was the logistics soldiers using paint brushes made of pig bristles to maintain various weapons and equipment.

Now the ancients all understand the purpose and significance of pig bristles.

"I didn't expect that this inconspicuous thing would have such a wonderful use."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties exclaimed.

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di kept this knowledge point firmly in mind.

The goal of Zhu Di to fully transform the army into firearms was already set.

Therefore, this way of maintaining firearms is very helpful to the Ming Dynasty.

Even now, the Shenjiying can adopt this method to maintain firearms.

……

[Against this background, the inconspicuous pig bristles have made an immeasurable contribution to our country's resistance to aggression and economic development. 】

【In 1936, China and Germany signed a contract of 100 million gold marks. China purchased weapons and industrial equipment with agricultural and mineral products as offsets, and pig bristles were one of the major items. In exchange, China received 400,000 sets of German-equipped divisional equipment to resist the Japanese invaders. 】

Barrage flew out:

"Bristles are only part of it, and more important are tungsten, antimony, and tin."

"Reply--Yes, tungsten can increase the number of bullets fired from the barrel, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the gun, and can also improve the high temperature resistance of armor plates, armored bullets and other anti-components."

"Reply--The tin alloy made from tin ore is very useful in heavy armored weapons."

"Reply--Antimony can greatly improve the strength and resistance of the material, and is particularly suitable for manufacturing gears that are essential in industrial machines."

"Reply--China is a major country in these three minerals, and it is least lacking in these three things. China will not lose out by bartering."

"Reply--I know this, there are a lot of tungsten and antimony mines in Hunan, and a lot of tin mines in Yunnan."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi in a deep voice:

"Boss, pass my order to the Huguang Provincial Administration and Yunnan Provincial Administration, and order them to find tungsten, antimony and tin mines respectively, and protect them, and do not allow others to approach."

He felt that this resource, which was of great military use, must be controlled by the court.

And.

After seeing some uses of these three types from the barrage, Zhu Di planned to let the firearms craftsmen try to study them to enhance the power of the Ming Dynasty firearms.

After hearing Zhu Di's order, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to neglect it and said yes repeatedly.

At this time,

Zhu Zhanji asked curiously:

"During World War II, weren't Hans Baoguo and Japan allies? Why did Hans Baoguo trade with China and provide weapons and equipment to China?"

"Look at the time. At that time, Hans Baoguo and Japan had not yet officially confirmed their alliance, so naturally they would not consider the impact on Japan.. "

Zhu Di replied casually.

He had just thought about this question.

...

[Huaxia imported equipment from Eagle Sauce Country and Big Brother, and also adopted the form of in-kind payment, because pig bristles were a condition they could not refuse.]

[Later, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and China's international transportation was almost completely cut off. Pig bristles were difficult to transport out, and their value increased exponentially, and it was hard to find a "bristle".]

[Eagle Sauce Country asked Huaxia to export all pig bristles to Eagle Sauce Country.]

[ Because of this incident, the big brother and the British Empire, who were also trying to snatch the bristles, almost got angry. 】

【Later, China set up a special agency to distribute "bristles" in order to prevent these allies from fighting again. 】

【During this period, the bristles exported to the Eagle Sauce Country were escorted by the Flying Tigers themselves, flying on the Hump Route to India, and then returning to the Eagle Sauce Country. 】

Barrage flew out:

"The Hump Route is really dangerous. It flies along the Himalayas all the way. If you are not careful, the plane will be destroyed and people will die."

"To be honest, although the Eagle Sauce Country is our enemy, it still helped a lot during the War of Resistance. Just sending war supplies to China via the Hump Route, 1,500 planes and nearly 3,000 pilots were lost."

"Reply-China Airlines also lost half of its planes and pilots at the time. The Hump Route was completely a death route at the time. ”

“…”

The ancient people of all dynasties were also shocked by the dangers of the Hump Route.

It was a life-or-death situation.

…

[The bristles were exchanged for weapons and ammunition, helping us and our allies win the war.]

[The bristles earned foreign exchange, supporting China's difficult wartime finances.]

…

“This thing has made a great contribution! ”

Many ancient people in all dynasties were deeply moved.

I didn’t expect that such an inconspicuous thing would play such an important role.

……

[Here, we must also remember a person, Gu Gengyu, the “Bristle King”.]

[Because bristles are precious, foreign capital entered China at that time and took control of the export of bristles.]

[Chinese bristles must go through the procedures of the foreign companies run by the British before they can be exported.]

[Gu Gengyu, a patriotic businessman in Chongqing, spent 8 years , and took back the export share of bristles from the British. 】

[He runs the "Gu Qing Ji" mountain goods store, and the "Tiger Brand" bristles he exports are a golden signboard in the European and American markets. 】

[If he wants to make money, he can become the richest man. 】

[His "Tiger Brand" bristles blocked more than 80% of the total bristle exports in the country, making him a veritable bristle king. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Indeed, during the Anti-Japanese War alone, the exported bristles created more than 30 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which was enough to make Gu Lao rich."

"Grade A strategic materials,It must be valuable. He basically monopolized the market. It is too easy to make a fortune. "

"..."

The Great Han Emperor Wudi plane.

Liu Che did not think so.

Such an important strategic material, no matter which government, will not let it be controlled by private hands during the war.

The country will definitely bring it under its own control.

But thinking about it again, Liu Che felt that there might be exceptions.

That is the Eagle Sauce Country, a country where private interest groups can deeply intervene in the country.

If this material is in the Eagle Sauce Country, controlled by the so-called military-industrial complex Among them, the Eagle Sauce government is probably really helpless.

……

[But Gu Gengyu did this not to make money, but because he was afraid that the economic lifeline would be controlled by foreign capital. ]

[After he monopolized the bristle industry, he obeyed the overall situation, took the initiative to hand over the bristles at a low price, and gave the high profits to the government. He made great sacrifices and contributions to the war of resistance. ]

[Many of our leaders praised Gu Gengyu as an outstanding patriot who made great contributions to the war of resistance. ]

The barrage flew out:

"Guo Gu is very righteous!"

"Salute to Gu Gu, who has a righteous heart! ”

“…”

The Great Han Emperor Wu plane.

A flash of admiration flashed in Liu Che’s eyes.

This man is indeed a loyal and righteous man, and also a smart man.

…

[After the establishment of the New Dragon State, Gu Gengyu, for the sake of national construction, handed over all the assets of the Gu family for three generations to the country without reservation, including tens of millions of US dollars in funds, factories, office buildings, a large number of pig bristles, livestock products and Gu Qingji’s Tiger brand trademark.]

[These assets are conservatively estimated to be nearly 100 million US dollars, and the brand value of the “Tiger Brand” pig bristles is even more immeasurable.]

The barrage flew out:

“Guo Gu is really amazing!”

“This pattern is too big!”

“…”

Many ancient people from all dynasties were directly stunned.

Such a huge asset, actually donated it?.
