Volume 8 World War Volume 27 The Yellow Peril

.

In people's imagination, there are two kinds of "yellow perils". One is the image of the sleeping lion of the Opium Empire that was despised and despised by the West in the 19th century, with some terrible colors added. It seems that the body of the dying and rigid empire also contains r.

"Dr. Fu Manchu" is the "yellow peril" represented by Chinese immigrants. Those "Chinatown" living in London and San Francisco. To the eyes of Westerners, ugly, sinister, cunning, dirty, cold, hardworking, numb and cruel. "Most of them are villainous criminals. They have to leave China and have no ability to make a living in the Western world. Just: The ability to commit crimes." This is the closer "yellow peril". It directly threatens the security of the Western world.

At the end of the 20th century, Zhao Gang (in the minds of Westerners, this man was simply the incarnation of Satan) conspired to overthrow the Qing Empire, and the subsequent series of counterattacks attracted widespread and deep attention from the West. Because of repeated blows, the Chinese Empire, which was almost paralyzed, suddenly broke out from bottom to top.

In the imagination of Westerners, the yellow races all over the mountains are under the vast sky of Asia.~|                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

In a few years, Western countries have lost all their privileges in China and their rights to eliminate China's vassal states. These facts have awakened the nightmare of sleeping deep in their collective unconsciousness. The premonition is about the "Yellow Peril". The nightmare is the end of the "Revelation" scene: the devil tribe as numerous as the sea and sand. They will capture the holy city of beloved...

First of all, there is the legend of "Yellow Peril". In 1895, China defeated Japan (although from Zhao Gang, the main body of this war was completely defeated, Western society believed that China had won the victory). China failed repeatedly in a series of international conflicts for more than half a century. It was approaching the limit of decline and humiliation, and suddenly became vibrant and defeated Western students-Japan, which made Western society uneasy.

During this year, the German Emperor William II began to propose the "digefahr" in public. He ordered the court painter Hermann Neckfash to draw a painting based on his imagination of the Yellow Peril scene. After printing, it was given to his relatives and friends and ministers and the rulers of other major European countries. The name of the painting was "Huang Peril". The seven angel-like figures in the painting represent seven Western countries, including Germany, England, France, Italy, Austria, and Russia. They held them.

The spear and shield stood on a cliff. The top of his head was the background of a large cross. Archangel Michel stood on the edge of the cliff. He said with a serious and sacred expression: "European countries united. The deep ravine. The faint mountain river and city walls. There was a strange shape hanging in the air.:                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

William II's intention at that time was just to attract the attention of France and Russia and to facilitate his own control of China. This was just a rogue trick used by Western countries. For Britain, France, Russia and the United States, which are also rogues, it basically won't have any effect. The way Western countries do things is to do things. No matter whether you have any sins or not, as long as you don't have the corresponding power, I will invade you.

William II's sensational fantasy of the Yellow Peril. Although not many people raised objections, the painter's paintings soon spread. In 1898, the United States also printed and distributed "Yellow Peril" as a poster. If the German Emperor's panic of the Yellow Peril was completely a sensation, then Britain and the United States still had some unspeakable reasons.

For the United Kingdom, that was the military aggression and economic plunder of China made them feel a little panic in victory. They felt that the Chinese would one day take revenge against the British Empire. For the United States, the problem was even more. Chinese labor immigration posed a threat to Americans in terms of labor market and racial concepts. There has been a trend of anti-China. This is all "yellow" + 10000s.

When talking about the "Yellow Peril", Kernan pointed out that the possible threats to China are reflected in both economic and military aspects. If China's current modern industrialization is successful, then China's countless hard-working masses can make Chinese products flood the world. This is a creepy prospect that reminds us of it. And it has slowly become a reality, and countless textiles are dumped around the world at low prices.

At that time, there were still people complaining. "The number of foreigners who make a living in China has gradually decreased." It is true that since the New China eliminated the import of opium, those foreigners who rely on for a living have lost their skills in making a living and have to send a curse of resentment.

It is the Westerners who live in China who are most likely to feel worried and terror. Their views affect the prejudice of public opinion in their hometowns. From a military perspective, after the Sino-French War, "people seem to have wanted to see the scene of Chinese people running around the world"; twenty years later, this danger may be even more urgent.

If China begins the industrial revolution, there will be huge people in China. The army with an amazing quality and amazing scale will be unimaginable.

In the minds of ordinary people, the Yellow Peril brings a vague fear. Only:_                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

They used "Mongolian nomadic tribes" to call the flooded people in China. However, this word first appeared in European languages. It refers to the barbarians surging from the heart of Central Asia. They are those who don't know where to come, and wherever they go. They are all terrifying...

Kernan wants to say that the "yellow peril" panic of Westerners is not actually neither: nor military. It is a kind of "psychological" panic about the huge foreign population. This panic may not have any realistic or possible threats at all. It is just its disgusting and alien existence that makes Westerners feel nervous and painful.

Madhus once described the huge Chinese population crowded in the hellish land. He expressed his unique sympathy for this. Although Eliza dmore does not have the sympathy of missionaries, he does not hide his racist bias. He is in "Wan Wan"

》The beginning of the article:

Never foreigner has had an in-depth understanding of the way of thinking of the yellow race. Their thinking--Piqi--the end is different from us. It is a process that is opposite or reversed to us. We cannot trace and understand... For all the orientals, no nation is as different from us as the Chinese. There is no memory, custom, tradition, concept, root or any symbol that can connect our past with their past. It is like between the Anglo-Saxons and the Chinese. There is no sympathy, concern, empathy and tacit understanding.

Their huge number and similarity are astonishing. The resemblance of any individual to his thirty millions of compatriots is terrible. In any part of this huge empire, everyone finds them with the same unchanging physiological and psychological patterns—the same yellow skin, firm character and harshness, mechanical language; the same housing, graves and clothing; the same prejudice, superstition and customs; the same selfish conservatism and blind worship of the past, ancient things. This monotony, unrestrained life with constant repetition of characters, events. It is annoying. Almost resentful.

In the land they occupied, from Siberia to Jiaozhichina, they can leave their own traces; they are conceited, selfish, depressed, cowardly and superstitious. They have no imagination, emotion, chivalrous spirit or sense of humor; they are not enthusiastic about any struggle (the view of the Western countries is ridiculous, and keen on fighting seems to be an advantage). Including those that improve living conditions are even indifferent to who will rule them or who will usurp the monarchy.

"Yellow Peril" is more of a Western culture's imagination of the East. The huge alien population itself causes psychological pressure and panic to Westerners. If the Chinese are not aggressive or active, and are insensitive, then Westerners will only be disgusted and disgusted at most. There is actually an existence and growing in the world!

If one day, such a large population suddenly becomes bloodthirsty and warlike. Armed to the teeth, disgust or disgust will turn into fear and hatred. It will be the darkest moment in the world. The end of the world imagined by Christians. The appearance of Zhao Gang made this fear manifest in concrete form. After several wars, after tasting the bitterness of failure, Western countries put away their broken fangs and temporarily stopped the discussion of Huang Peril. This is because China has proved its strength. Western society only recognizes these. In their opinion, although China's strength is weaker than first-class power, it is stronger than second-class countries and has the right to become partners.

But in fact, the propaganda of "Yellow Peril" has never stopped for a moment. The reasons for panic may be more complex. There are historical and psychological ones, including economic and military ones. (Western culture is full of exclusion and aggressiveness, and it is often taken for granted exclusion and aggressiveness. The imagination of foreign cultures is often "judging others by oneself.").

"Anyway, a certain concept of "yellow peril" constantly invades the imagination of Europeans. "yellow peril" is a series of panics, which seem true and false, and are not present. Its threat to the local economy of the West lies in the continuous influx of cheap labor; the threat to Western philosophy and the Christian church lies in the spread of Buddhism; and the direct threat to Western forces on a larger scale is reflected in the fact that China is working with other countries to strive for political and economic freedom. Of course, the most unimaginable panic is also a nightmare. Yellow people are flooding the world like a flood. The final domination is ultimately dominated by the rule of the world.

As a new country, the booming national power made Western countries uneasy. However, in the eyes of Western powers, China still cannot threaten it. The British Prime Minister once said, "As long as you use 1/3 of the strength of the British Empire, you can make the Chinese realize the gap in strength and return to the negotiating table obediently."

But the panic of "yellow peril" cannot be eliminated even in the blue sky and the sun. The huge number and similarity of Chinese people are incompatible with the Westerners' incredible personality. Just think of it, it makes Westerners feel uneasy. Westerners think that those Chinese who are innumerable, indifferent, numb, tenacious, cruel and even scheming. They are like a yellow monster with only one face, one mind, but countless hands and feet. They are the real "Long Live Empire" that has survived forever.

The most terrifying thing is that over the years, they have quietly immigrated to the sea, penetrated into Europe, North America, lived in London or San Francisco, and were close to rooms or streets with fragile nerves. They often heard terrible knocks on the door. The empire is no longer terrible. What is terrible is the countless individuals left by the empire. They are quietly flowing over the world like plagues, and locusts. Satanically, on the individual, suddenly resurrecting the demon shadow of the empire. This is another kind of yellow peril imagined by Westerners. The yellow peril in the West.

However, this fear was not felt by the Western government. At least this threat does not exist to them. As long as China's strength cannot threaten them, they will not show their fangs casually.

However, when the Battle of Almaty ended, China's strength was overestimated. Western countries even had an illusion that the Chinese used only 300,000 to destroy one million, so that China's 30 million troops could destroy one million troops. China already had an overwhelming advantage over the West.

They did not see that after the Battle of Almaty, China's armored cluster suffered heavy losses, all tanks were damaged, most of the armored vehicles were damaged, and the car was lost by 2/3. The death, half of the officers and soldiers were killed and killed, and they had lost their strength as an assault force. It took Zhao Gang four years to accumulate this armored force, and it would take at least half a year to recover.

Therefore, Germany and Britain held a Munich conference with China. In name, it was to plan for the future battle situation, but in fact, two mad dogs began to steal the fruits of others' victory! Zhao Gang sent Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, and gave him the instructions to protect Central Asia and give up the interests of Western Siberia and Japan, but these abandonments required corresponding compensation, such as Ottoman Turkey, Iran, Iraq, etc., where no oil was found, and in terms of value, it was just a desert.

Sometimes, the vision is farther than others, which is a huge advantage. When World War II began twenty years later, the British Prime Minister regretted it.

"At that time, I thought we made money, but now we lost a lot. Zhao Gang is really the embodiment of Satan!"
