Chapter 387: "Compromise"

Bai Ze smiled at this and said nothing.

Apparently not believing in Richie.

Li Qi himself said that he came here to talk because he couldn't beat it, so he could beat it?

So will Richie still be here?

"Moon Jae doesn't seem to believe it?" Richie asked.

Bai Ze smiled bitterly: "I want to believe it too." ”

"I think it's worth believing."

"I want to hear about it."

"It's been proven by the facts."

Li Qi's expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "The reason why you think I am ambitious is because of three points. First, steam carts and rifles. Second, I cooperated with the Moon Trinity, and I took all the benefits of that war that I could take. Third, I seek the independence of the Huaxia Alliance. I don't know if I'm wrong. ”

Bai Ze nodded.

Li Qi said: "But which of these three points is what I took the initiative to do?" First of all, steam cars and rifles. As for these two things, we humans have already figured them out, so why don't we take them out earlier, not to mention the benefits, at least they can help me resolve many, many crises. Could it be that I had predicted this war a long time ago, and was it possible? The reason is very simple, because I respect and trust the rules set by your kingdom very much, and we humans are safe under these rules, and will get better and better, so why do I take them out to break these rules, and even cause your kingdom to warn me.

Now when I take out the steam cart and the rifle, it is because your kingdom itself has broken the rules that I am forced to do so.

Secondly, my cooperation with the Moon Trinity. What else should I do? Sitting and waiting to die? As for the benefits, it was after the crisis came, I thought about taking away all the benefits contained in the crisis, this war is not controlled by me, whether I want it or not, the crisis will come, in other words, I must face this crisis no matter what, in this case, why don't I try to fight for the benefits.

Finally, seek independence, which makes me even more unforgiving, it was your kingdom that broke our faith first, it is impossible to say that an apology from the king of the earth can offset the mistakes you have made, trust can collapse overnight, but it will take a long, long time to establish. If Moon Jae thinks that because of the words of the King of the Earth, I will be moved to kneel. Then why don't you want to believe that I have no ambition, after all, I am still a victim. ”

Bai Ze nodded slightly, and said very subtly: "You are right, trust is difficult to establish. ”

The implication is that if I want to believe your words, I won't do this to you, I just don't believe you.

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Therefore, you choose the most simple and direct way, destroy all distrust, and then cultivate the object of trust." ”

Bai Ze nodded and said, "This is also the most effective and safest way. ”

So far, there is nothing to hide, that's what happened, they just think that their back garden can't fall into the hands of a person who can't control it, which is a very big hidden danger, except for the soon.

Li Qi said: "Therefore, I have never complained about anyone, the rules are set by you, and if you want to destroy them, then I have nothing to say." And I didn't talk about it during the last negotiation, because I knew that no matter what I said, you would adopt this simplest and most effective strategy, and I would do the same. But now it has been proven that this is indeed the easiest way, but it is not the most effective and safe, and the result is only a lose-lose situation. ”

Bai Ze asked, "In other words, you have a more effective way?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "The most effective way is, of course, to re-establish mutual trust. ”

Bai Ze said: "If you want to build trust with us on an equal footing, I can tell you very clearly that this is impossible. ”

This system cannot be dominated by the Huaxia Alliance, it must be the kingdom, since it is dominated by the kingdom, then it must be unequal, to put it bluntly, you listen to me.

This relationship of equality must be based on strength, which is not in suspense, and strength also includes soft power and hard power, which is indispensable.

If the strength is similar, the status is naturally equal, just like the relationship between Lingzhou and the kingdom, that is, equal, but they did not say that they wanted to be equal to each other, this is natural. What kind of equality and freedom are said in this mouth, it is all a kind of propaganda, just look at it as an advertisement, and if you are serious, you are not far from death.

Li Qi nodded and said: "I know this, maybe I understand it better than Wen Zai, you are the eldest brother, I am the younger brother, I have never wanted to overthrow it." As a sign of my sincerity in this regard, I am willing to hand over the secrets of the steam cart and the rifle. ”

Bai Ze was slightly startled and said, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course it is true, if there is no war, I may also choose to hand it over to your kingdom, because I dare not use it, give it to you, it is up to you to decide, at least it is possible to be useful, not only that, but I am also willing to continue to obey the traditional laws of the kingdom, as before, to recognize the kingdom's dominance over this continent." ”

Bai Ze and Tu Shan glanced at each other, a trace of confusion in their eyes.

If Li Qi threatened them with defeat, they would be able to understand, but at this time, Li Qi actually chose to give in, which is too weird.

Li Qi seemed to see the doubts in their hearts, and said with a wry smile: "Two, if it is not to this point, will you believe that the trade war with the Huaxia Alliance will cause an economic crisis in the kingdom?" I don't think so. ”

Bai Ze said: "If I am not mistaken, we only need you to give up the development of steam cars, if you are willing, it is impossible for a trade war to break out, since you are willing to ......." ”

"Moon Jae seems to have misunderstood."

Richie interrupted him, "I'm just saying to hand over the secret of the steam cart and the rifle to prove that I don't want to hide anything from the kingdom, and I will open my heart and be honest with the kingdom." But I didn't say to give up the steam car, I can only guarantee that the steam car will not leave the Huaxia Alliance without the permission of the kingdom. As I said before, after you have made so many bad decisions, I can't trust you right away, and I have also assisted the elves, so mutual trust still has to be built slowly.

And how to establish trust, of course, is to open trade, mutual integration, real trust is to establish exchanges and interests under the premise, only when our interests do you in me, I have you, we can trust each other, and at that time, everything can be discussed.

Of course, opening up trade is very beneficial for both of us, especially at this time. ”

Bai Ze pondered for a while, and said, "But your relationship with the Jing Clan? ”

Li Qi smiled: "The Elite Clan is just our trading partner, that's all, in the military aspect, in the political aspect, we do not have any cooperation. I also made it very clear to Su Nu at the beginning that our Huaxia Alliance is independent and will not be attached to any party. But because of geography, we have to make compromises with the kingdom, that's a certainty, and I'm very aware of this rule.

But then again, even if I could move this land to the Moon Lands, I wouldn't go, because I'd rather believe in the kingdom than I am, after all, the kingdom has brought prosperity to this continent in the past.

Moreover, if it weren't for the kingdom system, we humans would not be where we are today, and I am full of gratitude for this, and now I am full of expectations, just imagine, if the kingdom can go back to the beginning, I can make a lot of money, so that we humans can live a rich life, this is everything I look forward to. ”

Bai Ze nodded slightly and said, "I have seen your sincerity, but we have to think carefully, you go back first." ”

Li Qi nodded, got up and arched his hand: "Then I will leave first." ”

After Li Qi went out, Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really want to know, why this human has such intelligence, he doesn't look like a human at all." ”

If this matter is made to the end, the Huaxia Alliance will definitely perish, you must know that the driven war is always interests, economic competition, and the competition for interests, and the last resort of economic competition is war, which is really not able to fight, then only force is left.

Once the kingdom sends troops, the Huaxia Alliance will really be unable to resist.

Bai Ze didn't understand why Li Qi chose this stall before, he thought that sooner or later, it would be better than now, but he now understands that today is the best time.

Now is the moment they are most worried about, the economy of the southeast region has collapsed, if they continue to fight, the loss will exceed the Tu Shan clan's expectations, for the sake of a Chinese alliance, and bet on the dominance of the kingdom, is this really cost-effective?

No matter how shrewd Li Qi is, but in terms of force, he still can't pose a substantial threat to the kingdom, and the rifle is really useless against the elite of the kingdom, even if you don't use the air force to bully the Huaxia Alliance, the kingdom's bow and arrow will be farther than your rifle.

The ones who can really threaten the kingdom are those perfect races.

It took so much effort to spend so much effort with a second-class race to be surpassed by the perfect race, this is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and the results of that battle will also be wiped out, you must know that the Moon Three Clan is now desperately recovering.

Bai Ze suddenly looked at Tu Shan's clan and said, "What do you think?" ”

Tu Shan, who had been silent, was slightly stunned, and looked at Bai Ze very embarrassed, she didn't even have the courage to open her mouth after she knew Li Qi's overall plan, she lost very completely, and after half a loud time, she sighed and said: "Since he dares to tell us all his plans, it proves that he is completely sure." ”

Before, she still had an excuse to excuse herself, after all, she just used a crippled area to fight with Li Qi, but after learning about Li Qi's overall plan, she knew that she had lost, if that was the case, the kingdom would definitely break out in an economic crisis, although it was not certain that the consequences would collapse, but the consequences would be unpredictable.

This is very terrifying for an empire.

Bai Ze nodded and said, "Yes!" He even cares about the face of our kingdom, which is the only reason why he only wants to talk to the two of us, and hand over the secret of the rifle and steam cart. ”

Li Qi is such a sensible person, of course, he knows that he can't let his eldest brother lose face, even if he has the advantage, he still shows that he is compromised and makes the eldest brother stand in a winning position.

Tu Shan Clan sighed and said, "Now without using force, it is impossible to disintegrate the Huaxia Alliance in one fell swoop, and we can only adopt a policy of Huairou now, integrate them into our kingdom, and then rely on time to build trust, and when they trust our kingdom again, that is when they collapse." Alas... This could have been a good idea, but now this method seems to be a little helpless. ”

Bai Zehe laughed a few times and said, "You don't need to worry too much, after all, you have a lot of worries and restrictions, and he doesn't have any worries." ”

This is comforting, but it is also true, after all, Tu Shan's family has a lot of concerns, those owners, the domestic economy, and the overall situation.

Li Qi didn't need to think about it, because even if the kingdom lost a hair on the table, he would have to stud.

.....

On the vulture.

"So you haven't changed at all."

Hanying, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally spoke.

Li Qi was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Han Ying said: "In that battle, you seem to have changed as if you have changed a person, no one is afraid, dare to fight and dare to rush, I thought that was the real you, but today you seem to have changed back to the Li Qi you used to be." ”

Li Qi laughed and said: "Actually, that's not the real me, the most real me, is the one who usually laughs and scolds with you, I'm actually at that level where I'm very happy when I take a little advantage, and when I'm the happiest, I was selling wine and making a little money, and now I make a lot of money, but I can't give me that kind of happiness." ”

Hanying rolled his eyes, who believes you!

This forced pretense is really indignant to people and gods, you just say that you don't love money!

If you have to be ruthless, you will be able to bring down the kingdom, which is not a small bargain!

"Don't believe it, it's true."

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Actually, no matter which one I am, my purpose has never changed, that is, to make the Huaxia Alliance independent. If you want to be independent, first of all, you can't set up a strong opponent for yourself, and in this trade war, which of my moves is independent, isn't it all forced? Only by establishing friendly relations with all parties can we achieve true independence and development. ”

Han Ying said, "But now that you have the advantage, you don't need to pay such a big price in exchange for the kingdom's forgiveness. ”

Li Qi smiled: "In the final analysis, it is actually a matter of face, do rifles and steam carts have a great effect on the kingdom for them?" Does it hurt us a lot? Not necessarily. If they fight us with rifles and steam carts, then it is impossible to know whether they will win or lose. But face is the least valuable, if the kingdom is open to trade, our Huaxia Alliance will benefit from it, and every race in our Huaxia Alliance will live a safe, happy, and happy life, that's it. ”

Han Ying glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, and said, "Are you really willing to be subservient to the kingdom?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Before I don't have any strength, I'm really willing." ”
