Chapter 171 Be a Ghost
Comrade Quansheng shook his head. "No, it's just... is it really necessary?"
Luo Jiu answered firmly: "It has to be this way.
If you don't act like a wolf warrior, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered.
If you look at recent history, you know, when we were not strong enough, they didn't even allow us to remain neutral.
They are either forced to fight with others, or wait to be divided up and treated as a piece of fat meat on the negotiation table, to be slaughtered at will by the great powers with steel knives.
I will never allow this to happen, and now I have a choice, I will be the one holding the knife."
Comrade Quansheng nodded, but was still a little worried.
"I understand you, but you fought for your compatriots on the battlefield, fought everywhere and risked the world's condemnation. I am afraid that not everyone will understand your painstaking efforts in the future."
Luo Jiu looked at him, her red eyes covered with a layer of mist, she smiled and replied: "If you understand me, then the organization understands me.
No matter how much misunderstanding I suffer in the future, I will not feel wronged.
I always do things with a clear conscience. Why should I take others' words to heart? "
Comrade Quansheng sighed, "I know you are determined and have great perseverance. But how do you want history to record what is happening now?
You have worked hard for the world, and I really can't bear to see you being criticized."
Luo Jiu laughed a few times and shook his head.
She sat down in the presidential chair, looking out the window and looking down on everyone.
"Your words remind me of my brother.
I also advised him to consider his historical reputation, guess what he said? "
Comrade Quan Sheng asked hurriedly: "What did he say?"
Luo Jiu said: "He said he could not read many characters, the history books were thick and he could not read more than a few pages, and he did not care about it.
Come to think of it, he and I do have some similarities.
But I can't be like him and ignore history.
I wrote the answer sheet carefully and certainly don't want to be given a zero.
But I still believe that history should be written truthfully, and future generations will be able to distinguish right from wrong, merits from demerits.
Let them record the truth. I can bear the criticism and the infamy.
History can record my ambition and constant expansion of territory, and it can also record my inflated ambitions and colonial expansion everywhere.
It can be recorded that China had such a bandit-like President Luo, who used one thing after another to illustrate how domineering and powerful she was, and how many glorious and dishonorable means she used to conquer the world.
It can be written like this, I have no problem with it.
I would rather have my criticism recorded in history books than have this country suffer a century of humiliation recorded in history books.
I would rather the historians drink tea and laugh and curse while recording how I indulge in military aggression.
We also don't want them to grit their teeth and shed tears, enumerating the sufferings of this country and then writing them down in history books one by one.
It is easier to count my merits and demerits than to count the corpses of my compatriots.
As long as the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the days of suffering for the people are gone, what does my personal honor and disgrace matter?"
Comrade Quansheng was standing behind her and heard her speak so calmly. He stood there for a long time and was shocked again and again.
Luo Jiu said this and suddenly smiled, "I hope it's not just men who record my history, otherwise it would be bad.
History written by men always likes to blame the faults on women. The fall of Zhou was blamed on Bao Si, the fall of Wu was blamed on Xi Shi, and the Anshi Rebellion was blamed on Yang Yuhuan.
The Qing dynasty ruled for nearly 300 years, but Empress Dowager Cixi held power for only 15 years. The country was closed to the outside world during the reigns of Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong, missing out on the first industrial revolution. After that, the country fell into decline step by step, and the blame for the country's demise was entirely placed on Empress Dowager Cixi.
It’s really ridiculous to think about it. Every time a dynasty changes, there will be a king who destroys the country.
Men have destroyed so many countries, and no one has ever said that it was not possible because he was a man.
Because of Empress Dowager Cixi, the country was destroyed, and the argument became: You see, women should not interfere in politics.
How ridiculous!
History books never mention women when writing about prosperous countries, as if the credit has nothing to do with them.
When writing about the fall of a country, they would either find a woman to write about in great detail, or write a sentence about the character's indulgence in alcohol and sex, secretly blaming the temptation on women.
It’s really strange, what role do women play in history?
It seems that when the country is prosperous, women are irrelevant.
If a country is going to perish, women will have to shoulder the blame. Even a smile can become an important reason for the country's demise. It is really crucial.
I think it would be fine if I win every time from now on, but if I lose once, I am afraid someone will say that this is because a woman is in power."
Comrade Quan Sheng smiled and said, “Please rest assured about this. When the Institute of History was established, Vice President Cheng and Minister Shi of the Ministry of Justice both proposed many times that we must ensure the important participation of women.
Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Culture is also the director of the Institute of History. There are 12 researchers in the institute, and seven of them are female history students who have returned from China. They will not be biased as they were in the past. "
Luo Jiu nodded, "Minister Zhou is a progressive writer, with avant-garde ideas, a sharp pen, and a fair character. I feel relieved to have him preside over this."
Luo Jiu has decided to accompany the army to supervise the battle. She assigned the work of the Presidential Palace to a group of people. On the second day, together with Feng Qi, she personally led an army of 200,000, dozens of warships, and more than 20 bombers, aiming at Fei State.
As the army approached, the people of Fei country woke up as if from a dream, and suddenly discovered that the sleeping lion of the neighboring country had quietly awakened.
Just like a ferocious beast coming out of the mountains, a young tiger roaring in the valley, causing all the beasts to panic.
It was too late for Fei State to ask for peace at this time. It wanted to cede one or two cities to quell the war, but the other side ignored it.
Luo Jiu's condition was that Fei State be transformed into Fei Province, which, like Ying Province, was not allowed to have an army, but had to cooperate with China to establish a military base there, fully obey China's rule, learn the Chinese language and writing, and contribute local resources to China's construction.
When the Fei people heard this, they said, "Aren't you forcing us to become Chinese? We absolutely don't agree."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Very good, then you have a second choice, go and be a ghost."
In the end, Fei State was beaten badly and lasted less than an hour before the entire territory surrendered.
When Feng Qi came in person to announce the good news, Luo Jiu calmly ticked a box on the map and said, "Let's follow the procedures of Sakura Province and start the process.
China is building a large-scale infrastructure, and we can use the oil, iron ore and other resources of Feiyang. We need to mine them as soon as possible and transport them back to China as soon as possible. "
Feng Qi: "We can't rush this. The transport ships are busy transporting resources to Ying Province and can't be separated. We can't use warships as cargo ships."
Luo Jiu rubbed his temples and said, "The domestic shipyard has already started production, but it will take some time. Call Jia Ling and ask her where the cargo ship she purchased earlier is."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Jialing pushed the door open and said, "No need to call me, I flew here. Look, who did I bring with me?"
Luo Jiu and Feng Qi looked behind her and were greatly surprised.
