Chapter 110 Retribution (2)
"How is it impossible!" Chen Hao said confidently: "Mr. James, although I am a ignorant person, I am not very capable, and I don't know much about the situation in the world. However, I have studied casually with a teacher from the United States for many years. Although I have not learned any useful skills, I am very yearning for and admiring the democratic country of the United States.
You also know that in our Chinese country, no matter what big things we want to do, we not only rely on nepotism, but also rely on a lot of money to open the way. This minister does not hide it. I am a typical example of this! The senior officials here are almost all from aristocratic families.
According to my American teacher, in your America, if a person wants to be a high-ranking official, his relationships and money are auxiliary. Extraordinary ability and a good heart to serve the people are the key to getting ahead! I wonder if Mr. James agrees with this?"
Seeing that Chen Hao belittled himself but admired the United States so much, James stood up and said proudly: "Chen, you are right. The reason why our United States has developed so rapidly is mainly because people have the best of their talents and the best of their own things. Every president of our United States is a hero with extraordinary abilities!
In our United States, as long as you have the ability to become an extraordinary person, have a very high reputation in society, and are willing to benefit the people, then those large consortiums and large families will come to support these famous people.
After these famous people became spokespersons of large consortiums and families, they gave advice and contributed to them. After affirming the abilities of these spokespersons, in order to better realize their own interests, they will fully support these spokespersons to run for president.
For example, the current president of the United States is the Republican Mr. Theodore Roosevelt. When Mr. Roosevelt was president, he was less than 43 years old and was the youngest president in our American history. Mr. Roosevelt's backstage was one of the top Morgan consortiums in the United States. At the same time, he also received the support of the railway king Harriman.
Mr. Roosevelt is well-read and has both civil and military knowledge. He is a naturalist, historian, military strategist and orator. He is considered one of the most versatile presidents in our United States. He has many works and translations and has a high status in letter literature.
Before the war between the United States and Spain, Mr. Roosevelt served as Deputy Secretary of the Navy. During his tenure, because the Secretary of the Navy was not enthusiastic about naval affairs, Mr. Roosevelt took the power and was committed to the modernization of the navy. In addition, he also vigorously promoted the United States' shipbuilding capabilities, and his work made outstanding strategic preparations for the future Spanish-American War.
During our American and Spanish War, Mr. Roosevelt was unwilling to work in civilian work, so he quit his job in the Admiralty to serve as a lieutenant colonel of the Raff Riders. During the war, he performed outstandingly and was one of the most prominent heroes in the Spanish-American War."
Speaking this in one breath, James couldn't help but feel a little dry. He picked up the top Tieguanyin on the table and took a few sips with intoxication on his face. He couldn't help but exclaimed at the top Chinese green tea.
Seeing everyone pricking their ears and staring at him intently, James smiled embarrassedly, then cheered up and continued: "During President Theodore Roosevelt's administration, he appeared in the face of a reformer, and used the government's power to manage and supervise private economic activities. In particular, he launched the "Social Diagnosis and Treatment of Industrial Cultural Syndrome" campaign to protect natural resources, which achieved obvious results.
Mr. Roosevelt's first three presidents have converted 16 million hectares of land into state ownership. In his more than six years in power, he has converted 7,800 hectares of land into state ownership, thus preserving a large number of national forests, parks, minerals, oil, coalfields and hydraulic resources for future generations, reserved land for public utilities, and promoted farmland water conservancy projects.
Externally, Mr. Roosevelt actively implemented an expansionist policy to expand our American sphere of influence. To this end, he vigorously expanded his navy, ensured the construction of the Panama Canal, and took some measures that were conducive to economic construction and resource protection.
It can be seen from this that most of our presidents in the United States have ascended the throne of president with the support of large consortiums and large families after showing their extraordinary ability to become a saint.
After they become president, although they will be influenced by the power of the consortium and the big family behind them. However, no matter what, all of them will be committed to developing the United States. They put the interests of the United States first and regard the interests of the United States as the interests of their own consortium.
Therefore, our United States' national strength has flourished and has now surpassed other countries and has become the world's number one economic power!
According to my Chinese teacher, your corrupt Chinese upper country, a large group of ruling classes, almost all rely on nepotism and spending money to buy officials and rank. They do not know how to seek strength, but only know how to exploit the people and enjoy a luxurious and decayed life.
In order to maintain their dominance, they even adopted methods that could not be proclaimed to the text, restricting the ideas that bound the people, so that the people would be willing to be enslaved by them as long as they had a bite of food.
During this period, even if some very outstanding politicians appeared, as long as these politicians showed their desire and behavior to plead for the people and seek strength, these politicians would be suppressed by the vested interest classes and eventually had to leave with regret.
The most typical example is the corrupt ruling classes of the Qing Dynasty. They completely separate the interests of the country and the personal interests and maintain their dominance by selling the interests of the country. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty failed to reform, which led to the declining and shaking now."
After listening to James' long speech, Chen Hao's impression of James, a materialist changed greatly. He strongly applauded James with encouragement.
Chen Hao knew that during this period, the ruling class in the United States was committed to developing the economy and allowed the American economy to take off rapidly. However, in politics, it was in a period of deep anti-corruption.
At the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the rapid growth of the US economy, the rapid expansion of the government scale, and the strengthening of local government power to control public resources, led to collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion and serious corruption.
However, several economic crises in the United States during this period triggered a large-scale workers' movement and progressive movement, led to the promulgation and establishment of a series of anti-corruption laws and related laws and institutions, and ultimately gave birth to a relatively complete anti-corruption system in the United States.
