Chapter 167: Hometown is next door
Luo Youde said quite vividly, he is like a person in a hurry, always running around in this world, and there is no stable day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info every time I go to a place, I want to build it into a paradise, but unfortunately I can't always do it. Then he retreated to the next best thing and played with his life to instill his own thoughts in others. Generally, when you get to this point, you are almost gone, and this time is no exception.
"Though the kingdom be great, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. From "Sima Law". "In terms of learning, Wen Nan is the most popular among these people, but it's a pity that he is not there. Luo Youde is not a businessman, but he is also a businessman who likes to read, but he is more reserved and does not squeak. But Luo Meimei was not as sleek as his father, and when he saw that no one squeaked, he was afraid that he would be cold, so he answered his father-in-law's question.
"Hey, see it, our Hong family is a family of poetry and books, all of them are knowledgeable people. I won't show off my son, America married my daughter, and I'm good at this knowledge! As soon as Hong Tao spoke again, Luo Meimei immediately regretted it, and he resolutely refused to be this green grass next time. Everything is good from the Hong family, and he has studied hard for more than ten years, and his knowledge comes from his daughter-in-law, and he has never seen such a shameless elder.
I won't translate the meaning of this sentence, and the reason is obvious. Since ancient times, those who wait for others to hit the door and then fight back are two fools, and at that time, the opponent will be all ready, and even if we can win, we will pay a great price. How did the war come about? This time I took the fleet to Europe, it seems that I am trying to avenge Karl, or to fight for sea supremacy, but in fact, this is a superficial understanding. ”
"My real purpose is to eliminate a big war for the near future! If the Europeans had occupied the sea, developed for another ten years, amassed hundreds of huge ships, and trained an army capable of conquest, they would not have to wait for us to come to the door, but would have come to us on their own initiative. Then the war will spread to our land, and we will not be happy whether we win or lose. ”
"Does this passive war make sense? It doesn't make any sense to us. Therefore, I use a small-scale war to delay the time when they can fully argue with us for another ten or twenty years, so that this possible large-scale war will also be postponed. But everyone remember, it's not completely eliminated, it's just delayed. As long as we loosen our grip and give them a chance to develop, this war will come sooner or later. ”
"This principle was established in Europe, and the same is true for the Golden River Empire. Through this war, this continent is no longer a secret, and we people are no longer a secret, and it is unrealistic to want to hide here without fighting with the world. We must not only do our best to develop our own country, but also keep our eyes fixed on the left and right, and once we find danger, even if it is a possibility, we must find a way to eliminate it. ”
"Of course, it is good to be able to eliminate it through negotiation and exchange of interests, but if not, then war is necessary, and do not soften your heart just because the other party is your son, brother, or relative. If you think about it carefully, in fact, fighting the war in advance is saving people. If both sides have been hostile for many years and have been prepared for many years, once the war starts, it will be a protracted and non-ending war, and the losses of both sides will be very large, and perhaps one side will die. Ending war with war is the idea I put forward, and if you want peace, you must first fight war, and this is my core foreign policy. After touting the high quality of the old Hong family, Hong Tao entered the topic, broke it and crumpled it to explain his thoughts as much as possible, this time it is not nonsense, it is all true thoughts.
"I see that everyone has been fooled, discussing national affairs with our majesty, none of us is an opponent, even if we add up. The Luo family was born as a businessman, and finally hoped that his son would grow up and inherit the family business, but he was abducted by His Majesty. Let me also say to the ancients, I forgot my father when I married my daughter-in-law! Now I'm still alone, so I can't fight Your Majesty, so I won't fight at all. Brother Hong, what do you want to say, let's talk about it together, and don't make fun of us one by one. ”
"You discovered this place, and you brought it down with you, and gave it to us people to set up ourselves as kings, and I have never heard of this kind of mind spoken of by the ancients. To be honest, I can't believe it until now, but if I don't believe it, the land can't run away, so where is it. Although you said that our countries are an alliance, and no one can command anyone, my Luo family is still willing to listen to you, and you can do whatever you say. I'm sure no one thinks they know better than you do. Hurry up and give a clear answer, I still have to talk to my son more, I don't want to listen to half-night classes anymore. Luo Youde finally couldn't hold it back, and if he continued to talk like this, he wouldn't be able to finish it at dawn. He also knew what Hong Tao probably wanted to say, although he was not 100% in favor of Hong Tao going back to save the Great Song Dynasty, but he also knew that he couldn't stop it. Instead of trying his best and not being able to stop it, it is better to help him fulfill this wish.
"I don't have an opinion......" Swan was also tired of listening, Luo Youde understood in his heart so he didn't want to listen to it again, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't want to listen.
"I don't have an opinion at all......" Qi Zu hurriedly stated his position, and he didn't quite know what Hong Tao wanted to say.
"That's what I mean, in fact, I wanted to say it a long time ago, Your Majesty, hurry up and finish, I still have good things for you to see, really good things, I promise!!" Wen Xiaoqi is like a primary school student who has just scored 100 points in the exam, and he always wants to surprise his parents, but he can't find a chance, and he basically hasn't eaten much of this meal.
"Don't worry, this is the procedure. Since we are an alliance, we have to do it according to the alliance agreement, even if we know the result, we have to go through the process. The rest of the houses were not present, so I voted for them instead. Okay, now that it's unanimously approved, I'll talk about my decision. ”
"Everyone should know that I am using all the forces of the Alliance to dig a canal in the south, but what is this canal for? You may not know yet. Where does this canal lead? You don't know yet. Now I'll tell you the answer, this canal leads to the sea to the west, and the name of this sea should be familiar to all of you, it is called the Pacific Ocean! "Since Luo Youde has broken through his intentions, Hong Tao will not go around in circles, as long as there is no longer too much war on the European side, he should start preparing to return to the west. However, this matter is not a separate decision of the Kingdom of Mexica, and with an alliance, it must be done according to the constitution of the alliance. The rules are greater than the sky, and the consent of the other kings must be obtained, even if their kingdoms are still illusory, they must be treated as kings.
"Pacific! Salamander, what about our charts? "The first to react was Luo America, he and the Hong Salamander have been playing the Americas, and they have not been idle much over the years, even Australia has explored, but they have not explored too far in the Pacific Ocean east of Luzon. Because what is the place further east, Hong Tao has never mentioned it, it is not particularly needed, and no one will go too far on an unknown sea. But as soon as Hong Tao said this now, Luo Meimei, who had imprinted the entire nautical chart in his mind, immediately had a sense of position, and he wanted to use the nautical chart to confirm it again.
"Oops, I'm locked in the cabin, wait for me to get it!" The salamander also drank a lot of wine, but when she mentioned the chart, she woke up from all the wine, stuck out her tongue, and got up to run out.
All naval officers who have graduated from a nautical school, whether piloting a battleship or a cargo ship, have a rule that must be followed, that is, the charts must not be taken out of their sight. When on board, the charts are always available and are usually locked in a cabinet in the captain's room. When docking, the captain's office has to be manned throughout the day, and in the event of an accident on the ship, the first reaction of the captain on duty is to destroy the charts. In this day and age, a classified chart often means the safety of a sea area, and it is worth more than a fleet.
"Don't go, don't go! I've got it here. And I'm more accurate than yours, see it, it's hand-drawn by His Majesty, hehehe...... "Compassion, who has been helping his son peel the crab shell, finally spoke at this time, and he carried a cylinder on his back, which contained the chart that Hong Tao left for Medini, and he weighed the weight of this thing, and he slept with it.
Not only were the young people curious, but old craftsmen like Qi Zu couldn't help but gather around the table that Mercy had cleared, intending to see what the sea to the west was like. What's more, the word Pacific Ocean is familiar not only to naval officers like Luo Mei and Mercy, but also to anyone who has studied and studied at sea in the Empire, and it is the sea on the east side of Luzon.
If these two seas are not the same name, it means one thing, my hometown is across the sea! This incident touched everyone's hearts, and when he left his hometown, he traveled all the way west, through several ports, and traveled tens of thousands of miles to reach North America. But now some people say that they will return to their hometown further west, this concept is both a little confusing and inexplicably surprising, it is cost-effective to run so far, and the hometown has always been next door!?
More people who are more familiar with navigation and cartography have begun to draw sketches on the table and floor with wine. The earth is a sphere, this lesson was mentioned in the Golden River Empire Primary School, but it was only a general statement, and there was no very convincing evidence. Now Hong Tao said that the sea east of Luzon Island is the sea west of the American continent, this sentence is very informative, and it is not intuitive to imagine it just by the brain, and it seems to be clearer to draw a picture.
