Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1149 Hidler Threat Theory

"Speaking of which," Wilson tried to change the subject, "I wonder what the President thinks of the Byrd Empire's...Führer Hitler?"

Su Zhengyang put down the wine glass in his hand and his eyes became deep. The whole banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for his answer.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "A great madman, a terrible genius."

This comment stunned everyone present.

"He is great," Su Zhengyang said with a rare solemnity in his voice, "because he was able to make a defeated country rise again in just ten years and let the army of the Bird Empire sweep across Europe again. What kind of courage and ability does this require?"

He stood up and walked to the window: "But he is also a madman. His racial theory, his living space doctrine, his almost paranoid pursuit of power..."

Turning around, Su Zhengyang's eyes became sharp: "Most importantly, he doesn't know how to be moderate. A true politician should know when to advance and when to retreat. But Hidler, he is intoxicated with victory and conquest, which will make him lose his mind."

&34;You mean...&34; Wilson asked tentatively.

"He will lose," Su Zhengyang said firmly, "not in military terms, but in his paranoia. When a person believes that he is a nation chosen by God and that he is destined to rule the world, he has already embarked on the road to self-destruction."

He sat back in his seat: "The current Bird Empire is like a mad beast, rampaging and invincible. But this crazy expansion will eventually reach its limit. When that day comes, Hidler will find that he is not the savior chosen by God, but a madman who leads the entire nation to the abyss."

These words made everyone present fall into deep thought. They had never heard such a profound analysis before.

"So," Su Zhengyang picked up his glass, a meaningful smile on his face, "this is one of the reasons why China is unwilling to intervene in the European battlefield. We just need to wait, wait for the day when the beast is exhausted."

"But, Mr. President," Wilson put down his glass, looking solemn, "what if the beast really wins? What if Hitler really conquers all of Europe..."

"Yes," Du Bois eagerly took over the topic, "Hiedler's ambitions go far beyond this. In his conception, the entire world will be under the rule of the Aryans. He believes that other races are inferior, including..."

She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clear.

Su Zhengyang showed a hint of sarcasm and said: "So you are worried that after Hitler conquers Europe, he will drive his chariot to the East?"

"It's not impossible," Wilson said solemnly, "You said he was a madman. Once he controls Europe's resources and gains greater power, who knows what he will do?"

"According to our intelligence," Dubois added, "Hitler's staff has been studying the Eastern strategy. They believe that only by conquering the vast eastern lands can they gain real 'living space'."

After Su Zhengyang heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter. This sudden laughter stunned everyone.

"Interesting," he wiped the tears from his eyes, "It's really funny. You are thinking with the logic of a hundred years ago."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he continued: "Let me ask you, why was Hitler able to run rampant in Europe? It was because those small countries were weak and those so-called "powerful countries" were corrupt. But..."

His voice suddenly turned cold: "China is not Poland, not France, and certainly not the ancient Eastern country that you imagine is at the mercy of others. If Hitler really dares to drive his chariot to the East, he will understand what real war is."

&34;But...&34; Wilson wanted to say something else.

"No need for that," Su Zhengyang interrupted him, "Let me tell you a secret. Just last month, we tested a new type of rocket in the Gobi Desert. The range is three times that of the Byrd Empire V34 missile."

This sentence made everyone gasp.

"So," Su Zhengyang raised his glass, "instead of worrying about the safety of China, you should think about how to protect your own country."

"Mr. President," Wilson insisted, "Hitler's threat is real. His genocidal policies and his expansionist ambitions prove that he is a complete lunatic. For the sake of human civilization and world peace..."

"For human civilization?" Su Zhengyang sneered and interrupted him, "Mr. Wilson, don't you think it's ironic to hear you say this?"

"Yes," Du Bois interrupted eagerly, "we represent the side of justice! We are fighting for human freedom and dignity! Hidler is a dictator, a tyrant..."

&34；正义？&34；苏正阳放下酒杯，目光变得锐利，&34；让我们来谈谈你们的&39；正义&39；。&34；

He stood up and looked down at the envoys: "When you used your powerful ships and cannons to blast open the gates of China, burned and looted the Old Summer Palace, and forced us to sign an unequal treaty, where was your 'justice'?"

DuBois's face turned pale instantly.

"When you carved up colonies in Africa, massacred Indians in America, and expelled aborigines from Australia, where was your 'civilization'?" Su Zhengyang's voice became colder and colder. "Now Hitler is using the same methods against you, and you start shouting about humanity and justice?"

The entire banquet hall fell into deathly silence.

"In the final analysis," Su Zhengyang sat down again, his tone full of sarcasm, "you are no different from Hidler. You are just a group of robbers in civilized clothes. It's just that now, a stronger robber than you has appeared, and you are afraid."

&34;This is different...&34; Wilson tried to argue.

"What's the difference?" Su Zhengyang said coldly, "Because now it's your turn to be the victim? Because now you have also tasted the taste of being bullied?"

He picked up the glass and shook it gently: "So I say, your worries are ridiculous. In my opinion, whether it is Hidler or you so-called "Justice League", you are just a group of beasts fighting for interests."

"And China," he said, sweeping his eyes over everyone present, "will not become a pawn of any side. We will quietly watch you fight in Europe until the day when you are all exhausted."

Wilson and Du Bois looked at each other in bewilderment. They finally understood that in Su Zhengyang's eyes, their so-called "civilized countries" were no different from Hitler's Nazis. They were all plunderers, just wearing different cloaks.
