Pitiful people must have hateful qualities. When Chen Ke was a big loser, he felt that these words were full of the acerbity unique to winners. As Chen Ke transformed step by step towards a winner, he slowly discovered that if these words sounded annoying, it was because winners generally lacked emotion extremely. In order to make losers understand, they had to imitate emotion.

Many propaganda pieces and articles have said more than once that the United States was excluded from the Versailles spoils sharing system by Britain and France after World War I. The United States paid a huge price but got nothing, which led to the United States losing confidence in Britain and France and beginning to seek splendid isolation, so isolationism prevailed domestically.

In 1920, where Chen Ke was, Chen Ke only wanted to say one comment about this: "Bullshit"!

As an international system after the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations indeed had many immature aspects. However, isolationism ran rampant in the United States itself, and the people and politicians were willing to enjoy the results but unwilling to bear obligations. Put simply, the US Congress twice rejected the treaty to join the League of Nations. This was the result of strong domestic isolationism in the United States, not that being excluded stimulated domestic isolationism in the United States.

Then the side of the United States only wanting to enjoy the results soon showed. Britain indeed hoped that the United States could become a "responsible major country" in North America, and an "obedient little partner" within Britain's world hegemony system. Of course, the United States refused to agree. Less than a year after the end of World War I, the world shipbuilding competition began.

Britain wanted to build warships, and the United States, backed by strong industrial strength, also began to build ships. Britain's little partner in Asia, Japan, also followed suit and began to build ships.

For Japan, building ships actually had more practical significance. Facing powerful China, Japan no longer truly believed that it could seek victory in land warfare. To obtain strategic balance, Japan indeed needed sufficient retaliatory capability. This capability could only come from the navy.

Regarding Japan's madness, the Chinese side had no way either. A navy cannot be built in a day, and relying solely on purchase is not realistic either. Apart from watching Japan build ships, the People's Party didn't have too many ways to compete at sea.

And the Japanese comrades in the People's Party also rarely began to be impetuous.

"Can the Russian Bolsheviks succeed? If they can succeed, combined with the success of our People's Party, can we start promoting the socialist revolution in Japan now?" Japanese comrades led by Kuroshima Jin specially asked to see Chen Ke for this.

"As it looks now, Japan is far from revolution," Zhang Yu replied.

"What's the problem with this?" Kuroshima Jin was very puzzled.

"This problem comes from within Japan, not outside. The socialist movement and the socialist revolution are two different things. The characteristic of the socialist revolution is to find a way to solve problems by oneself when encountering them. And those backbone elements of the socialist movement always engage in opportunism when encountering major difficulties. They never act according to real political needs, but seek external help in an emotional way of loyal alliance." Zhang Yu replied.

"What is the difference between socialist revolutionaries and backbone elements of the socialist movement?" Kuroshima Jin continued to ask.

"Comrade Li Runshi, what do you think?" Zhang Yu said to Li Runshi, who came to the Central Committee to report on his work.

"The former practices the justice they believe in, while the latter believes they are justice itself," Li Runshi replied.

Listening to the Q&A of this highly regarded young comrade, many old party members of the People's Party couldn't help smiling.
