Chapter 163: No One Understands Themselves

"Boy, what do you think? You've been a bit abnormal these two days! Sending the sailboat off the dock, Hong Tao squinted at Luo Mei with his small eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"You yourself know that Jiang Zhuyi is an ambitious woman, and she also has a grudge against you to kill her father, why do you want to return Jiang Renjie to her? This kind of person is very dangerous if he doesn't have a little restraint, aren't you afraid that after their sister and brother grow stronger, they will get out of control? Luo Meimei was still unable to figure out what Jiang Zhuyi wanted, with his previous understanding, Hong Tao should not be so emotional, too irrational. There is no harm in doing this, and it is not good that it is a copy of the Golden River Empire, and it is even worse.

"Oh, it's worth it, you kid has been secretly slandering your father-in-law in his heart for the past few days, and he is an old fool who forgets his righteousness! Hong Salamander, you are not allowed to listen to the following words, I have to teach your husband how to deal with women in the future. Hong Tao thinks that Luo Meimei is good anywhere, but he has little contact with women and doesn't understand women's minds very well. As his father-in-law, he has compulsory education to educate him, which is also for the good of his daughter.

"Phew! Stinky daddy! The salamander pinched Luo Mei fiercely, and turned to check on the sailors' work on the America. She has lived in an environment with three mothers since she was a child, and later met Jiang Zhuyi, and she has long been surprised by Hong Tao's crooked reasoning in her private life, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with this.

"Jiang Zhuyi, like me, is a person who doesn't like to be controlled by others, so instead of forcing her head to drink water, it is better to let her choose by herself. Europe is not our Europe, it is more difficult to assimilate than the Great Song Dynasty, and we have so much land to operate in the west that we can't spare time to spend here. ”

"No matter what Jiang Zhuyi and Emperor Wilhelm will choose in the future, at least they can contain Europe now. In my new vision, Europe is the Great Song Dynasty of the Americas, and we will have to conduct frequent trade with it in the future, as long as we control the sea control in our hands, they will not be able to make big waves. And you don't know much about Europe, it has a lot of internal contradictions, and the struggle between clerical power and imperial power alone will not be settled for a while. In addition, there is the problem of the authenticity of the Eastern Roman Empire, but it does not mean that it has no use value. ”

"It's a pity that I may not have time to stir it up, but I leave it to you, and in the future, when you draw your hand, you might as well support the Byzantine Empire and let it return to its former majesty. These Christian countries in the west of Europe will have a headache by then, and can they still bother to cross the sea to find us trouble? "You're a good leader, but you're a bit shallow. I know you've been running around all these years, and you've been thinking about it all the time. But it's not enough to just look at the surface, you have to deeply understand the living habits, thinking habits and historical origins of each place, and you can find a lot of useful places from it. ”

"Since you don't want to be the commander of the fleet, I think it's better to focus more on the European side and study them carefully. When your father and your Uncle Wen are old, you will have to take over the burden of the Spring Alliance. It's not for you to rule the alliance, but for you to be at the helm and take the countries in the alliance to get the most benefits, understand? "Luo America's problem is actually a lot of people's problem, but others don't ask it for various reasons.

According to Hong Tao's original plan for Europe, Europe is the backyard of the Americas, a buffer zone and dividing line between the Spring Alliance and the Jinhe Empire. But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the Jinhe Empire's invasion of the Great Song Dynasty in the north disrupted Hong Tao's plan, and he did not have the time and energy to slowly run Europe.

So he decided to give up Europe partially, no longer intending to completely control it, but to use a more fucked up way, to disrupt Europe, slow it down, and use its technological superiority to make it a dumping ground for the Spring Alliance's goods. Politically, Europe will become the future Africa and become a battlefield for the struggle of various forces.

Jiang Zhuyi and Friedrich II are his spokesmen in Europe, and they are also two huge-stirring sticks. In later generations, the United States used Britain to stir up in Europe and achieved great success, so why couldn't it use Jiang Zhuyi and Friedrich II's country to stir up? The Americans did not fully control Britain, and they could still achieve the goal of dividing Europe, and of course they could.

"You always say that you don't have enough time, can you tell me what your plans are. Now you are only in your fifties, and your health is no worse than us young people, and I dare not say that you will live to be a hundred years old, but I think that eighty or ninety years old will definitely be fine. And your mind has always been stronger than ours, even if you are old, it will not be much worse, and there are still decades left, and this is not enough? Luo Meimei not only has a good brain, but also has a very fine heart, and after just a few days of contact with Hong Tao, he heard a very critical question. Carl's stupid thing doesn't have the ability to do that, and if you don't tell him, he won't hear anything.

"You have something in common with me, but you're not very good at complimenting people. What do you mean to live to be 100 years old, you can't say more? Since you're going to pat yourself on the back, don't be leisurely, shoot hard when the wheel is round, the person who is used will not be in pain, and the person who is not used will be annoyed if you touch him. ”

"Now that you've asked that question, I'll tell you the truth. I'm probably leaving the Spring League soon...... Don't interject, listen to me. It's not that I want to leave, to be honest, that part of CitΓ© Soleil is something I'm ready to retire for. It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and many things are not up to me. ”

"The Great Song Dynasty resolutely cannot let the Jinhe Empire occupy it, this is the bottom line of my life. The Great Song Dynasty is gone, I have been working for nothing for decades, why don't you care about it. Your father is helping me dig the canal now, as soon as this canal is completed, I can suddenly appear from behind the Jinhe Empire, and then I will take the fleet to save the Great Song Dynasty, and I won't be able to come back regardless of whether I win or lose. ”

"From now on, my kingdom will be inherited by my other two sons. The kingdom of you and the salamander is on an archipelago in the sea to the west, and I have named it for you, which is Midway. It is the relay station for shipping between the Jinhe Empire, the Great Song Dynasty and the Spring Alliance, and it is also the first line of defense, not to guard against others, but to guard against possible wars between all of us. ”

"I hope that this war will never start and that everyone can live their lives well. You help me take care of this place, or I may come to you with a fleet one day. Hong Tao said these things to Luo Youde, and now he said them to Luo Meimei again, and they said it more clearly than to Luo Youde. The Midway in Hong Tao's mouth is not the Midway of later generations, he likes to name it randomly, but he doesn't bother to think about it himself, so he simply borrows it.

This Midway Island is actually the Hawaiian Islands, and as long as Luo America takes root here, it is equivalent to a big chess piece in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Whether it is a person from the east coast of the Pacific who wants to land on the west coast, or a person from the west coast who wants to go to the east coast, he must get his consent. Otherwise, you will be attacked from the back after you pass, and there is no overwhelming absolute superiority, and there is no hope of victory at all.

Hong Tao wants to use this geographical layout as one of the means to curb possible fratricide in the future. The rat and the rat are their own sons, and so is Hongjinhe, and it is unlikely that there will be a war between them, but what about their offspring? It's hard to say. Of course, it is impossible to avoid it completely, and Hong Tao does not pursue such unrealistic effects, he only needs to add a variable and a little difficulty to the future. This is also his duty to future generations, nothing more.

"You're going to take the fleet back to the Golden River Empire? That...... What about Jinhe? I don't agree with your approach. Although they are a little anxious, they act according to your rules, and I think this rule is very good. Although I don't support them going north now, just because I don't support them doesn't mean that they are wrong. You can't go back on your word and break your own rules! ”

Luo Meimei understood that the old emperor really wanted to use force to grab power in the Jinhe Empire, so as to prevent the Jinhe Empire from fully invading the Great Song Dynasty. He had never thought of this method before, and he never imagined that his old man would be so confused. If he used to regard Hong Tao as an idol to worship in his life, then now he suddenly feels that he is wrong, this old man is essentially no different from the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is not worthy of his own worship!

"Hey, hey, hey! How to speak? Even the basic respect is gone, you you, yours, I am your elder, believe me or not...... I'm going to whip you! Hong Tao originally wanted to say that I would whip you, but he felt that this sentence was not very reliable, so he changed the heads-up to a group fight.

"Reason is not to others, this is what you said at the beginning, right is right, wrong is wrong, this kind of approach of yours is not worthy of my respect!" Luo Meimei doesn't look at Wen Wen who usually has no temper, but he is pretending. He is also very similar to Hong Tao at this point, it's not that he has no temper, but he thinks that most people are not worthy of losing their temper, but once they meet someone who is worthy of losing their temper, it is not just a tantrum, and the six relatives are full of energy.

"Later, when others have finished speaking, and I have completely figured it out, I will draw conclusions, when did I say that I am going to fight with my own son? Did I say I was going back to depose my son's throne, dissolve the parliament and become emperor again? In fact, even if I say it, you shouldn't stand up and oppose it right away, I think it's good, do you oppose it? The right thing to do is to go back quietly and tell your father about it, and then take him with you to convince Vennan, Karl, Swan, and Mercy to keep me under control before I take control of the fleet. Otherwise, I know that you are not happy, maybe I will throw you to Jiang Zhuyi to be an instructor, and you will not live under her for a year. Our salamander is a big deal, just find another one, you're a fart! Hong Tao was a little dissatisfied with Luo Meimei's performance, he was still young, no matter how mature his thinking was, the city government was still not deep enough.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Rest assured, even if you arrest me, I will not unite with others to oppose you. The big deal was that I took the salamander on a boat, and the two of us had a good time on the sea, and we found a continent south of Jawa Island that was not on the chart, very, very large, and there were natives on it. Luo Meimei didn't quite believe Hong Tao's statement, in his mind, except for Hong Tao to regain the rights of the Jinhe Empire, there was no way to stop the war between the empire and the Great Song Dynasty. At this point, he is also similar to Hong Tao, not very keen on power, and likes to live a free and easy life. When encountering difficulties that are difficult to overcome, they usually choose to bypass them, and are not willing to pay too much cost.

"Yo he! Awesome, put the ...... Oceania has been found! Tell me first, where did you come from? Hong Tao really didn't expect that Luo Mei and Hong Salamander would actually discover Australia. But I can't say Australia, because I said when I made up nonsense before, I came from Australia, and once I said it, the consequences would be very serious. Fortunately, Australia has another name, so you don't have to make it up yourself.

"North! We explored a small area where there were a lot of crocodiles, and they were very large. The environment there is very complicated, and I didn't dare to go too deep with the salamander, and we don't know how big it is, but I feel that it is definitely not small, even bigger than Luzon. Don't interfere with me, you go back with the fleet, not to seize power, but to do something? Luo Meimei had a very clear mind and didn't let Hong Tao take the topic away.

It's not small, it's not just bigger than Luzon, it's bigger than the whole of the Great Song Dynasty, have you told anyone about it? "Hong Tao has always used the continent of Australia, because the local climate and environment are too fucked, especially in North Australia, which is not suitable for large-scale human life.

"Not yet, as far as Hong Salamander and I know, before we explore clearly, Hong Salamander doesn't want to tell others that she plans to surprise you." Luo Meimei shook her head.

"Well, then don't tell anyone about it yet. I promise not to go back and seize power, as for what to do, I can't say it yet, but it's not as dirty as you think, I naturally have my own way, so don't worry about it. Hong Tao was very reluctant to promise anything to others, but to catch up with such a son-in-law who was more serious, he had to make an exception. For more detailed issues, Hong Tao will not tell anyone, the only possibility that this matter can succeed is suddenness, in case anyone leaks the news, he will die an ugly death. When something is related to his life and death, Hong Tao really doesn't recognize his six relatives, and his father won't say anything when he comes.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do I need to do? "Since the old man gave a guarantee, Luo Meimei will no longer ask, although Hong Tao has never been a good person, but his credit is still very good in this life, if he can't stop it, he will help, this is the performance of a family.

"There's a lot going on, but you can't do it right now. Once you're fully familiar with the sea, we'll see what you can do for me. Let's go, we should go back too, go and see your father, I haven't seen him for so many years, do you miss him? Hong Tao really wanted Luo Meimei to take on part of his work immediately, but he had to take him back first, and then decide after meeting Luo Youde.
