What we should be focusing on is not a certain person. ”

It was Li Qing who said this, don't look at him who drank a lot, but that look and demeanor didn't look like he was drinking high at all, maybe he really didn't drink high.

Bai Zhizhan's gaze immediately turned over, and Li Yunxiang also put on a deferential look.

If at the beginning, he was still suspicious of Li Qing's identity, after drinking these rounds of wine, Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang knew it in their hearts.

Why?

The other young officers didn't drink much, didn't talk much, and kept an eye on those who tried to get close to Li Qing.

The eyes that look at people are as sharp as knives, as if they can see through people.

These guys are clearly Ouchi's bodyguards.

"You don't want to think that even if there is no lame Lofus, there will be a blind Hofos or a deaf Tofos. Like I said at the beginning, it's not about someone. ”

"What's that?"

Because Bai Zhizhan had not said anything, Li Yunxiang pretended not to understand and asked. Somebody's got to pick up on the topic anyway.

"Interests."

Li Yunxiang pursed his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. Looking at his expression, he obviously drank too much, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he gets drunk.

This answer is certainly correct, but it is too general.

For thousands of years, disputes have arisen over interests, without exception.

The Liangxia Empire quickly developed into the most powerful country in the world, and the contradictions with the Western powers were also concentrated in interests. In the past few decades, every war and every conflict has been related to interests, and the last global war was a total outbreak of contradictions.

To put it into practice, that is to say, to be specific, how should this "interest" be explained?

Li Qing didn't explain much, and he didn't need to explain more.

As early as 20 years ago, there were already signs of this.

At the end of the last war, the first two countries to enter the war, the Kingdom of Bran and the Republic of Locke, parted ways. Although everyone believes that the main reason is the uneven distribution of spoils, and the differences between the two sides on the issue of whether to send troops to intervene in the rebellion of the Luosha Empire, but fundamentally speaking, it is actually the war that lasted for more than four years, burning up the wealth accumulated by the two old empires for hundreds of years.

In short: the common good is gone.

Of course, there are also reasons for the Liangxia Empire.

Because the war did not end with the complete defeat of the Liangxia Empire, in other words, the alliance group did not achieve a real victory, so after the war, it was difficult for several so-called victorious countries to obtain the war dividends of completing the reconstruction, and they could not recover quickly after the war.

These old Western empires, especially the Kingdom of Bran and the Republic of Locke, were the defeated countries.

Due to the limitations of its own size, and the inability to make up for the losses suffered by plundering overseas interests through colonial expansion, in the great development after the war, especially during the "Golden Decade", whether it is the Bran Kingdom, which has regained the crown of the world's number one colonial suzerain, or the Locke Republic, which has shown a little strength in foreign expansion, it is actually impossible to compete with the two huge superpowers.

By the end of the war, this was already evident.

The most representative thing is that the Liang Xia Empire actually participated in the Saiba Peace Conference as a reciprocal status, and was also a formal signatory to the "Saiba Peace Treaty". During the following "Hwaseong Negotiations", the Liangxia Empire gained a status equal to the Newland Federation and the Bran Kingdom, and still had a slight advantage in specific distribution. Several other victorious powers, such as the Narrow Empire and the Locke Republic, were reduced to second-rate powers.

All of these were the main factors in the collapse of the First Alliance after the war.

In any case, the situation at that time was that the Liangxia Empire, which was originally a "defeated country", successfully maintained its national capital and laid the foundation for its re-emergence twenty years later. On the side of the Western powers, after more than four years of tragic wars, the only one who could continue to confront the Liangxia Empire was the Newland Federation.

The reality before the Western powers is: either they will give up some of their overseas interests and remain neutral, and give up their ambitions for foreign expansion; Either they will join the Newland Federation and form an alliance with the Newland Federation to jointly fight against the powerful Liangxia Empire and safeguard their core interests.

Obviously, different countries have made different choices.

It was also from this time that the old empires represented by the Bran Kingdom, to be precise, the interest groups that controlled these old empires, began to carry out a painful transformation, transferring their core interests to the Newland Federation, and reconstructing the network of interests based on the Newland Federation.

The most representative is the "Son of the Rose" family that was born and developed in the Western Continent, moved to the Bran Kingdom during the Locke Empire, and spent more than 100 years to build the Bran Kingdom into the world's largest colonial suzerain, the first Western power and the world's first financial hegemony in the industrial age.

The post-war "golden decade" was associated with this great transfer of wealth.

After 20 years of painstaking management, although there are still many problems, such as the free and loose Nuland people are still deeply affected by isolationism, and many anti-war groups are still reflecting on the impact of the last war, but in the financial and economic fields that determine the core interests of the country, the Youzu consortium represented by the Rose Son family has successfully integrated into the Newland Federation and has also grasped the lifeblood of the Newland Federation.

For example, the core financial institution of the Nuland Federation, the Federal Reserve Bank, is in the hands of several large families of the Youzu consortium.

In this way, can you still count on the Nuland Federation to watch from the wall?

Actually, there is no doubt about this question at all.

When formulating the war plan, from Xue Yuanzheng to Bai Zhizhan War, they all thought that in order to prevent several major allies, such as the Narrow Empire and the Bran Kingdom, from being quickly defeated after the war, the Nuland Federation would definitely send troops to participate in the war before it developed to an irreparable level.

It can be seen that the enemy of the empire is not the Narrow Imperial State, but the Nuland Federation.

Since it is destined to go to war with the Nuland Federation, the best option for the empire is to quickly defeat the obstructive Narrow Imperial State.

Any delay in the pace of the attack would be extremely costly.

After realizing this problem, Bai Zhizhan figured out a truth.

The strategy he advocated in the past, that is, to attack the Tuke fortress in the south first, expand the empire's territorial defense circle in the name of attacking the narrow imperial state, and establish another strategic defense line outside the Sadou Islands in the north and south, is a waste of time and may not have good results.

If this is the case, even if the two main forces are not annihilated near the Watcher Strait and the aircraft carrier is not lost, the naval command will still adopt the eastward strategy led by Liu Xiang Allah, first concentrate forces to attack Liuhuang Island in the volcanic archipelago, and after obtaining a springboard for attacking the Sagi mainland, and complete the strategic encirclement of the Sagi Imperial State, then consider whether to attack the Tuke fortress in the south or attack the Sayi mainland in the north.

An army offensive on the Icestorm Peninsula?

Obviously, from a strategic point of view, unless it directly attacks the mainland of the Sagi Empire and lands in the western part of the Sagi Empire, the army is only a supporting role.

The decisive battlefield is still on the ocean.
