"In addition, the EU is not a unified country, but just a loose alliance. All the countries participating have their own thoughts. Germany wants to sell products, France wants to maintain the status of Europe's big brother, Britain wants to make things easier, and Central and Eastern European countries want to hold on...

Only when we Chinese speak with one mind and one mind, and work together, can we achieve great things. All countries in the EU have their own little thoughts and cannot be unified at all. What kind of great things can we do?

Moreover, Europe is very close to the Middle East and is at the forefront of civilization conflict. Once the two major civilizations go to war, the EU will be under the greatest pressure. At that time, not to mention the others, millions of refugees alone will be able to flood the entire Europe.

By then, the war of civilization will likely ignite on the European continent, while the United States will likely survive on the other side of the ocean. Just like in World War I and World War II, other continents were in full swing, and only North America was safe and sound.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the EU to rise and surpass the United States. Of course, because of the accumulation of riches, they will not decline too quickly.

But overall, they will sooner or later be replaced by our China. By then, the grand events of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Silk Road will likely reappear." Xia Tian smiled.

When the directors of the Ling Dynasty heard Xia Tian say this, they all smiled and nodded, admitting that what he said made sense.

Since World War II, although European countries have remained a world power, with a developed economy, stable society and generous welfare, it has to be said that the focus of the world has shifted from Europe to America. The United States has been dominating the world order, and Europe has gradually become its vassal.

Especially in recent years, the United States' Internet and communication technology have been developing rapidly, and compared with the performance of European countries is not satisfactory. This fully shows that Europe has fallen behind in the Third Industrial Revolution and is even worse than China's performance.

The reason for this is that European countries have different languages ​​and writings in different countries, while the population of each country is tens of millions and the minimum is only tens of thousands. Therefore, the number of users is insufficient, which makes it impossible for Internet websites to grow and grow.

In comparison, China itself has a population of 1.3 billion, accounting for one-fifth of the world's population, which is enough to support many super-large Internet websites.

Second, it is because Europe and the United States are too close. This "close" is not only very close to each other, but also has similar cultures, languages, writings, customs, etc.

Therefore, American Internet companies are developing into Europe, just like cutting butter with a hot knife, which is very easy and will not encounter too much resistance. In comparison, American Internet companies often encounter situations that are not suitable for the local environment when they come to China to develop. For example, ebay, Gaopeng, Amazon, Uber, etc.

Therefore, European countries missed the dividends of the Third Industrial Revolution, and similarly Fusang, they also fell behind.

Of course, although they lag behind in the Internet and communication technology, European countries and Fuso have a strong accumulation and innovation in manufacturing. They have gained considerable advantages in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and are not completely left behind.

...

"Reappearing the Silk Road?!" A director of Ling smiled, "Mr. Xia, your statement is very interesting."

"Yes, our country is vast and rich in resources, rich in resources and sufficient labor, and is very suitable for the development of manufacturing. However, with China's size, the products produced can be easily scaled. Just like my Tianxia Clothing, which produces all-out efforts, produces three million pieces a day, and can make people across the country wear new clothes in a year. If there are hundreds of clothing companies, then whoever they want to sell the extra clothing will definitely be sold.

The Eurasian continent is the largest market in the world. Our railways can travel from the southeast coast through Central Asia and all the way to Europe.

Our country is now rich in coastal areas, while inland areas are barren, especially in the northwest and southwest, and the economy is underdeveloped, and even the problem of food and clothing has not been solved. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads and build railways, which run across the northwest. Wherever the railway goes, there are business opportunities. Countries along the way will also become our allies. The terminal station Europe is our biggest market.

Moreover, once the railway is completed, Central Asia's oil and natural gas will be transported continuously to solve our country's energy problems.

Using railways can also avoid the maritime hegemony of the United States." Xia Tian analyzed to the guides of the ridge.

When all the directors Ling heard this, their eyes lit up.

The United States is the overlord of the global ocean, and the main global waterways are almost all under the control of the United States, such as the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Alaska, etc.

These straits are the throat of maritime transportation and have very important sterilization, military and economic status. The reason why Singapore is so prosperous is because it is located next to the Strait of Malacca.

In normal times, these straits are powerful tools for money, and once the war period comes, these straits are fortresses that can only be opened by one man and ten thousand men.

Although it is not time for war to break out between China and the United States, people will have immediate worries without long-term thinking. What's more, a country's development has been a blink of an eye in the blink of an eye and must be far-reaching.

Therefore, Xia Tian really makes sense. If the land Silk Road is launched and the Eurasian continent is run through the railway, then it will not only avoid the maritime hegemony of the United States, but also win over all countries along the way, and also gain a broad market in Europe.

This plan is quite awesome, both in the ruling, economic and military level.

Although it is not enough to develop itself with China's current strength, in another ten or twenty years, after China grows and grows, this plan will surely be put on the agenda and become China's future development strategy.

"Mr. Xia, your insights are really unique, which opens our eyes." The directors of Ling all smiled.

In the reform and opening up, China has always been feeling the stones across the river. In fact, no one has a clear understanding of where to go and how to go. However, after hearing Xia Tian’s insights, everyone feels suddenly enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

It really corresponds to that saying, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.

"Directors Ling are so polite. I'm just talking casually." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "It's best if you can help you."

"Of course, of course, I have benefited a lot, and I have benefited a lot!" The directors of the Ling Dynasty said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Xia Tian nodded.

The revival of the Silk Road was China's development strategy in previous lives. It was far-sighted and of great significance. It can be said to be a century-old plan that benefits the country and the people.
