"Why? Hasn't the Yaling Empire always supported you? ”

I have to admit that Vina Dubov has too narrow an inside contact with political decision-making, although she has seen many shameless people who ruthlessly draw their swords in the face of interests in her career as an adventurer, but she still knows a little less about the political field that has never talked about the exchange of interests, and does not consider moral issues and a principled position, which is commonly known as naivety.

In contrast, Luo Zhengdao, who was born in a professional class, is much more sober-minded, he has learned from countless politicians in the history of the old world on paper what is thick and black is invisible, and how to actually operate it with two faces and three swords, and he is tired of those tricks that are sweet in his mouth and use knives in his hands.

Since he had already made a clear judgment, Luo Zhengdao could objectively and calmly analyze the current situation and how sinister his situation was, he had no intention of explaining the reason in detail with the half-elf beauty, and said with a smile:

"Bane's oracle may have prompted the Yaling Empire to abandon its support for me, and Yaling and I have a relationship of mutual use and no unbreakable friendship, so don't say those kind words. If the Yaling Empire is under pressure, it will feel better to give up and support me, don't think that Yaling will talk about morality, and I will thank them for having a conscience if they didn't betray me. ”

Indeed, as the situation unfolds, the turbulent situation of friend and foe is uncertain, even if tomorrow is the day when the end of the world comes, today when it is time to eat, it is still necessary to eat, and it is time to sleep or lie down. Those who lack a big heart, even if they miss the ticket at the end of the world, they can be so neurotic that they toss themselves to death, this is self-inflicted!

Casually putting aside the worries about the oracle of Bane, Luo Zhengdao turned around and re-examined the achievements of the ambush battle of the Shahua Fishman Kingdom, and after this actual combat test, he was not without joy to see that the new naval combat weapon of the aircraft carrier was not as useless as he thought at the beginning.

Without a new powerplant to replace the sails, the all-deck carrier is still a delicacy of nonsense, but the less technologically immature aircraft has shown some significant advantages over the battleship. At present, the mainstream naval guns in the New World are still front-loading smoothbore guns, and both the range and accuracy are not very satisfactory, and although the range of the aircraft is relatively limited, it is far beyond the normal range of the naval guns, especially in the aspect of shore attack, and the maneuverability advantage of the carrier-based aircraft has been fully demonstrated. In time, fighters that further improve their performance will inevitably become an important member of the naval battlefield, and this is the trend of the times.

In the process of developing aircraft and aircraft carriers, the weak foundation of Wake Reef military industry began to change from modern to modern, although a series of military scientific and technological innovation and progress are not large, on the whole it is still quite successful, especially the technological breakthrough of metal fixed ammunition has attracted the attention of the Yaling Overseers.

After Sariel Byrne took the time to see the results of the new firearm, she asked Luo Zhengdao if she could transfer the technology to the Yaling Empire. For the diffusion of technology, the traversers will never lack self-confidence, a single technology, compared with a huge technology tree, is naturally a trivial matter. After the second batch of military aid arrived at Wake Reef with the Yaling Empire, the ordnance technology experts who arrived at Wake Reef with the ship saw the demonstration of the production and use of metal fixed ammunition, they collectively rejected Sariel's view, saying that the Yaling Empire had no intention of introducing this innovative technology.

Just as the Hanse cat in the old world was crushed to death by a bald eagle and a woolly bear, the fundamental reason was not that military science and technology were not advanced, but that the productive forces determined the war potential, and it was impossible to win an all-out war by relying on one or two new weapons alone.

The real reason why the Yaling Empire looked down on metal fixed ammunition Luo Zhengdao was also very clear, everyone knew that the new world was on the eve of the industrial revolution, and before the birth of cheap power, the depth of digging mines by manpower alone was quite limited. Excluding special areas such as the Dark Regions, which are themselves in the underworld, the first difficult problem to mine elsewhere is how to clean up the stagnant water in the mines. In the old world, when the mining technology was already quite mature, accidents such as mine water penetration and gas protrusion often led to mass casualties. From this, it can be seen that the dangerous underground world is different from the surface world, and the trivial things that seem trivial on the ground are deadly crises that kill people in the mines.

The first use of the Newcomen steam engine in the old world was to pump water from John Bull's coal mine, because the mechanical device that relied on animal power to pump water at that time was far from the degree of natural water seepage under the mine.

The difficulties encountered in mining in the New World are much more complicated than in the Old World, and the warlike underground races are not easy to mess with, and the various monsters that are good at raiding in the dark are also a major obstacle, so it is difficult to increase the overall metal production, which is relatively easy to understand.

You must know that a first-class battleship of the Yaling Empire uses a salvo of one-sided naval guns, and the weight of a single consumption of stone shells is close to one ton, considering that cast iron shells of the same caliber are about three times heavier than stone shells due to the different densities of the constituent materials. This means that a single salvo of naval artillery would throw nearly three tons of metal out, and it would be a permanent loss that could not be recovered. This kind of extravagant debacle is an intolerable crime for any country's finances, and what is the difference between it and smashing an enemy with a large amount of gold coins? It's no surprise that the Yaling Empire's deal to introduce metal loading technology fell through.

Metal cartridges were ruthlessly defied, and the experts of Yaling were interested in the two technologies, metal cartridge shells and fire cap shots, and they felt that these two innovations would certainly have a great future in improving artillery and muskets.

During the visit, they learned the basic principle of the fire cap, and the experts of Yaling said that their ideas have been opened, and they can imitate the copycat military products at any time, but the result is that this business is also over, not to mention the bullet shells with lower technical thresholds, and people don't even bother to say sorry. In short, after a series of, Luo Zhengdao did not expect much from the output technology, and this seemingly calm atmosphere lasted until Sariel Byrne gently knocked on the door of Luo Zhengdao's office one morning, and she handed in an official document with the contents of which she had expected.

In short, it was a diplomatic memorandum signed in the name of the cabinet of the Yaling Empire, and it was ornately decorated with elegant words, and the main content boiled down to nothing more than four words.

"Break off the relationship? So, are you leaving Wake Reef too? ”

Looking at Luo Zhengdao at his desk, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, the Yaling Overseer replied quietly:

"No, Your Excellency. I will henceforth be employed by His Excellency the Earl in my personal capacity as your personal security adviser and bodyguard. ”

Hearing this, the hypocritical smile on Luo Zhengdao's face turned to reveal a bit of sincerity, and he nodded and said:

"Oh, I see. I can understand her choice and look forward to the opportunity for us to work together again in the future. ”

In the old world, there was an expert in international relations, and after a long and careful search, he finally determined that the gangster was the closest reference to the state. Whether they are at the level of organizational structure, the sources and channels of economic income, and the struggle and cooperation between different gangs, they all have a high degree of similarity to the behavior of the state. To put it mildly, stripped of the aura of glory shrouded in the exterior, the internal difference between the state and the gangsters is quite limited, or it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the same as the raccoon dogs, so expecting the country to talk to you about friendship is an idea that only comes from forgetting to eat brain fragments.

Even if he can't find a reason to turn his face, the means of pretending to be wrong have not been able to pass the country, and he will say a little truth about unreasonable things, and if he can't say any reason, he must insist on messing around, in short, fighting a war of words is a language art that can't give people a sense of being poor in words!

One of the typical examples of this type of discourse is that when someone asks you a difficult question, remember to answer with the following example sentence: "When you ask if one plus one equals two, we firmly believe that the answer may be any number other than two, and of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the answer is equal to two." ”

Diplomacy is actually, I believe that the majority of netizens who are accustomed to crooked building and fart on online forums are very aware that no matter what post does not come out of three sentences, it will inevitably be crooked. For example, since ancient times, the world has been groundbreaking, natural human rights, and boiling oil, which are all strong words and excellent words. Regardless of whether it is tenable at the level of reasoning, whether there is a disadvantage of catching chickens with zĂ i IQ in terms of logic, anyway, the party with a loud enough voice can always take advantage of the negotiations. The reason why he is complaining in his heart at the moment is that Luo Zhengdao just feels that the Yaling Empire is not shameless enough, and he is a little disdainful.

The Yaling Empire's approach is to make a gesture to draw a line with himself as a focal point, and to tell the outside world that I have broken off with this discredited guy, and we have no relationship from now on. In essence, this kind of practice of covering up one's ears and stealing the bell is no different from those bad families whose fathers are unkind and their sons are unfilial, and whose internal contradictions are so troublesome that they want to publicly publish a newspaper to announce their disconnection.

No matter what kind of vows are spoken, in the final analysis, they are not as solid and reliable as the fundamental interests of both parties, some people will betray their own families, some people will betray their beliefs, but no one will give up pursuing their own interests, unless there is a greater good tempting him. Total Empress of the Goblin Second Empire. Tai, the god of war and conquest, Bane, must be true to say that the Yaling Empire has a hostile attitude of fear and hatred. If it is said that the Yalings will sincerely obey the will of the other gods, the people who think this way are 100% because they drank too much gutter oil and Sanlu milk powder when they were children, or they were squeezed through the door and left some kind of sequelae.
