"The current situation is by no means something that you and me, or even anyone, can change. Just as we must put the interests of the empire first, the tens of millions of soldiers and civilians of the Empire from the prime minister down will also put the interests of the Empire first. The core interest of any empire is to achieve global hegemony, that is, to dominate the world. It's a pity that on this narrow planet, there can only be room for one overlord. ”

When Wang Kaiyuan said this, Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang both smiled bitterly.

In fact, Wang Kaiyuan should return to the empire with Wallace. After meeting Li Yunxiang, he temporarily changed his itinerary, saying that he was going to the Narrow Yi Imperial Kingdom to deal with some matters of the Sixth Bureau, anyway, it was only a day or two of work, so he stayed and went to Dongdu Bay with the "Qinling".

"Don't sigh either, it's an inevitable result." After Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang turned their gazes, Wang Kaiyuan continued: "Although none of us have witnessed it, we can all think that it was only an expedient measure to form an alliance with the Empire back then. If it had not been for the defeat in the last war, this confrontation would have arisen a long time ago. If the leaders above are not mentally prepared, the ghosts do not believe it. ”

"What do you mean ......" As soon as the words came out, Li Yunxiang closed his mouth.

Bai Zhizhan didn't say anything, just looked at Wang Kaiyuan and waited for him to continue.

Wang Kaiyuan hesitated a little before saying, "It's also you two, I just said." Do you think there is really a conflict between Shoufu and the Holy One? ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhizhan was immediately stunned.

On the contrary, it was Li Yunxiang, who probably thought about it at the beginning, so he didn't show too much surprise.

The inside story revealed by Wang Kaiyuan is indeed very explosive.

Xue Yuanzheng and Shengshang are acting!

However, Bai Zhizhan immediately understood.

Xue Yuanzheng has always pursued a tough foreign policy, and he personally made all the strategic plans before the war, so he is the representative of the main battle faction in the eyes of the military and the people.

In a sense, Xue Yuanzheng represents the imperial military.

Obviously, it is impossible for him to change his position for no reason.

More importantly, he is the chief assistant of the Empire, the highest administrator of the Empire, and one of the most influential figures in the world.

In terms of international status, only Lofos can match him.

According to the post-war evaluation, he and Lofos were the two main promoters of the Second Global War, and they were also the number one promoters of rewriting the world order after the First Global War.

The key is that Xue Yuanzheng has lived in the Shoufu Mansion for more than ten years!

Then, the only one who can make him submit is the emperor.

It can be seen that the emperor came forward at this time, in fact, to make Xue Yuanzheng turn with dignity. Fundamentally, it is still related to the aftermath of the work.

"According to you, before the outbreak of the Great War, Shousuke was already ......"

In the end, Bai Zhizhan not only turned his gaze to Wang Kaiyuan, but also slowed down his speech.

"The two are the most outstanding generals in the empire, and they must be able to understand that it is not the military who determines the world pattern, and war is only a means of struggle."

As soon as Wang Kaiyuan finished speaking, Li Yunxiang said: "In the final analysis, it is still the interests that dictate. ”

Bai Zhizhan didn't speak, but his face had become very ugly.

Wang Kaiyuan smiled and said, "We are just mortals, so we can't accurately predict the future, but we all know history. More than 2,000 years ago, the First Emperor was able to unify the land of China, in addition to having an invincible army of tigers and wolves, as well as the foundation laid by the previous six generations of emperors. Among them, the contribution of filial piety to the law is the most. This is our basic understanding, but how many people know that there is another key factor? ”

Bai Zhizhan turned his gaze, he was already surprised by Wang Kaiyuan's deliberate virtue.

"The wars that lasted for hundreds of years in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"

"This ......" Li Yunxiang was obviously a little surprised, probably because he didn't find a suitable reason to refute it for a while, so he didn't continue.

Bai Zhizhan sighed.

"Looking at it from another angle, if there is no war that has lasted for hundreds of years, if there is no war caused by war, and if there is no impact on people with lofty ideals, do you think that with the power of a country, even if there is a division of tigers and wolves, the world can be unified in just a few decades?"

"The world thinks of home." Bai Zhizhan answered.

"Yes, the key is to think about the world!"

Bai Zhizhan sighed secretly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Obviously, the current international situation is not serious enough to wither, so the efforts we have made will not have good results." Wang Kaiyuan paused for a moment before saying: "If you want to feel better, it can be said that we were not born in the right era. What we can do is create a better environment for future generations. Looking at it from another angle, we have encountered an ideal era again, because in any case, after the end of this war, there will definitely be a few decades of peace. Our generation, even if they can witness the next global war, will certainly not have to rush into battle. In a very contemporary sentence, everything we do is for the present and for the future. When it is our children's and grandchildren's turn to fight, we may be able to achieve the unification of the world. ”

At this moment, even Li Yunxiang smiled bitterly.

Wang Kaiyuan didn't ramble anymore, and after taking out his cigarette, he got up and went outside the cabin.

"Don't think about it too much, Wang Kaiyuan is also so virtuous." When Li Yunxiang said this, it was obviously a snake to add to it.

If you think about it, where can you think about it?

In fact, Wang Kaiyuan has made it very clear.

The time has not yet come for the empire to dominate the world, because at present, the military and civilians of the empire cannot accept the results of global unification.

Obviously, the same goes for the Western powers.

That's the root problem!

Traditions, customs, culture, and other things related to national character have existed for thousands of years, and the era of globalization that began on the basis of industrialization is less than a century, to be precise, has not yet fully arrived, so what can be done to break the barriers that have existed for thousands of years?

Can the Imperial soldiers and civilians tolerate a blue-eyed, blonde-haired, white-skinned Westerner living in the Shousuke Mansion?

If not, then why are the military and civilians of Western countries willing to obey the dictates of the empire?

However, it is also like what Wang Kaiyuan said.

The devastation caused by war is not severe enough for no one to feel that peace is precious, and no one is willing to give up anything else for the sake of peace.

In fact, this is destined that the war will not have a perfect result.

It's not just this big war.

Perhaps, in the future, too.

As for when the perfect result will be achieved, it is unknown.

While Bai Zhizhan was thinking about this, Wang Kaiyuan returned to the cabin, and deliberately flicked off the cigarette ash on his clothes when he came in.

It was the middle of the night, but no one wanted to rest.

In a few hours, the "Qinling" will enter Dongdu Bay, and then the three will go their separate ways.

Even if it won't be goodbye, this is likely to be the last time the three of them will talk about the current situation calmly as friends.

At least as far as Bai Zhizhan knows, Wang Kaiyuan is the number one successor of the next military intelligence agency Zhang.

Even if Wang Kaiyuan wanted to maintain a relationship with Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang, he would reduce his contacts with the two commanders-in-chief for the sake of avoiding suspicion.

In fact, everyone has no idea what the future will look like.
