About This Novel

Financial power and military power are the two decisive factors in traditional political games. In ancient Chinese politics, all political issues were ultimately classified as financial issues. In ancient China, all administrative power came from military power. Therefore, the so-called "political power" in ancient China was, in the end, just financial and military power. In this book, the author proposes a new interpretation perspective of modern history, looking at modern history from the perspective of military power and financial power for the first time. In addition to the novel perspective, many of the viewpoints in this book are refreshing. For example, China also had a magnificent era of civil sea power; geopolitics has existed in China since ancient times, and it has developed five geographical lines to promote historical development. The textual expression continues the author's consistent style, integrating cultural individuality into historical writing, forming a self-contained whole that makes people feel full and hearty after reading it.
