Chapter 174: East and West are in a Dilemma (Celebrating the Women's Volleyball Team Winning the Championship)
Sailing the dinghy back to the test slipway, Wen Xiaoqi couldn't open his eyes anymore, and sat on the deck crookedly. When the www.biquge.info spirit is extremely concentrated, you can not be tired, not hungry, not thirsty, not sleepy, but once you relax, you can't carry it for half a minute, and you will immediately show your original shape. Hong Tao simply asked the little apprentices who were pedaling the boat to send their master back to the laboratory to sleep well, and then told them to prepare all kinds of nutritional supplements, and when Wen Xiaoqi woke up, he would definitely eat nonsense. This thing Hong Tao has experience, and when he used to stay up late to play game dungeons, he also had this virtue, he didn't sleep much for three or five days, didn't eat and drink much, and once the copy passed, he immediately became a sleepy insect and a foodie, and he wanted to make up for what he lost.
Wen Xiaoqi can sleep for three days without anyone's attention, but Hong Tao can't. When he took the boat back to the North Shore Pier, his face that was still happy immediately drooped. There are three different galleons parked next to the pier, this type of ship Hong Tao has just become familiar with, the three-masted battleship of the Flemish Hanseatic warship!
"In the future, if I am not at home, no one will go to the house to collect it, and you will not be afraid of losing things!" As soon as he walked into his home, Hong Tao saw a furry thing lying on his chaise longue, holding his wine glass in his left hand and his cigar in his right hand.
"......" The two servants pouted, avoiding the evil master.
"Brother Hong, if you don't want the emperor to be the king, it's so calculating! Your paradise is so big, no wonder you can't be happy, and you haven't been back once in so many years. Compared with Carl, who has no image, Wennan who walks down the stairs is much more eye-catching. Dressed in a cyan robe, a square scarf, a wisp of long hair, and a folding fan, it is very immortal. The most important thing is that Wen Nan has a cultural atmosphere on his face, whether he knows him or not, he will definitely not be regarded as a pirate at first glance. It's innate, and you can't learn it.
"Brother Wen, don't come unharmed...... Hahahaha. Hong Tao can't look more handsome than himself, and he seems to be more knowledgeable than himself. Now he seems to be much more pleasing to the eye, in order to be more pleasing to the eye, Wen Nan was hugged by him, and then swayed, the robe was folded, the hair crown was scattered, and the beard was messy, and Hong Tao was also happy.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I can't stop those little guys, so I have to run away, out of sight and out of mind. Brother Hong's hair is also graying, we are all old, and it is time to find a place to take care of our lives. As you used to say, this world will be theirs sooner or later, let them toss it. As soon as they met, he was ravaged by Hong Tao, Wen Nan was not annoyed, Hong Tao tortured him a lot at the beginning, and he was used to it. If Hong Tao is polite and polite after meeting him now, then Wen Nan will probably have to wonder whether to return to teach at the Imperial University in Port Kalamba. Obviously not very welcoming himself, why should he be here?
"You say this insincerely, and there is a sour taste. We are old, you see this red-haired ghost is almost bald, but we are not old to the extent of waste, and if you want to beat us down casually, it is a dream! Old card, what do you say? Originally, Hong Tao thought that Wen Nan was really disheartened and didn't want to get involved in the country's high-level anymore, but now when they met, they only listened to his words, Hong Tao was relieved, this old handsome guy's heart was not cold.
"Ever since I had my own kingdom, I have already fallen down, no need to fight, I will lie down by myself...... Let me first declare that I will not go back to fight with the Golden River Empire, and I will still build a castle for Philip. "Wen Nan is old and strong, and Karl is not old and decrepit, and the two people are in stark contrast. The former always has a heart that takes care of the world, which comes from the education he received since childhood; The latter can only be rich and secure, which may also be related to his cultural background and life experience.
"See, Lai Pi Lai face, I knew this, why should I give him the land, Karl Fort nest." Karl is abolished, this is something that Hong Tao has long determined. Of course, Hong Tao does not complain about Carl's choice, except for himself, everyone is a living person and has the right to choose life. And Carl is not all wasted, he just has no ambition, but his determination to protect his family is even heavier. If anyone dares to touch his Karl and Mia Forts, then he will definitely play with his life.
"Brother Ka is a person of true temperament, Da Song is not his hometown, why bother to go back thousands of miles to fight. Brother Hong and I are different, although I don't know why Brother Hong has always helped Da Song, but I think this is consistent with Brother Ka's reluctance to leave his hometown and not want to see the lives of his hometown in misery. "Wen Nan understands Carl very well, and it seems that they get along well these days.
"I love to go back or not, anyway, I don't expect him, just be optimistic about the oil route. By the way, you two are so busy running back, is there a result of the negotiations over there? "Just over two months after I came back, Carl and Vennan chased after me, and there was only one possibility, their negotiations with European countries had come to fruition.
"I met with the papal envoys in Karlburg, and the kings of France and England also sent envoys, and the situation was not very good. Both the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller withdrew their forces from the Iberian Peninsula, and the kings of France and England demanded compensation from Karl for the loss of their ships. Many nobles in the German kingdom were also making trouble, but they went to Wilhelm's palace, presumably asking Karl to compensate for the damages. I think they're dragging their feet, and Carl can't afford to lose it, even if he sells it. Even I, an outsider, can figure it out, and it's impossible for them not to understand. They may also have internal divisions, but as long as there is time to reconcile them, their armies will soon be assembled. Kaiser Wilhelm thought so, saying that the Church would never give up this opportunity to return to Rome, and that they would do their best to encourage all the nobles they could to participate in the war. Now that the situation has changed, I don't think it's enough to attack the city-state of Venice to deter the others. You have to think of another way, or you can scare them and make them understand that they can't do anything, and sit down at the negotiating table honestly for peace talks; Otherwise, we will beat them up a little more and make them more anxious about peace talks than we are. "Vennan and Carl really didn't come to hang out, and the situation on the European side has changed again, and it is different from the situation estimated in the Leeward Islands.
"Oh, the thirstier you get, the more salt you eat...... I don't have much land to fight the Europeans right now. Land warfare is not like naval warfare, the competition is completely about equipment and combat concepts, once deep inland, even if we can get William's logistical support, our army is not enough to fight against most of Europe. Don't expect William to come out of the country to help us fight, even if the war is won, what will he get? If I had been in his position, I wouldn't have done such a thing, it would have caused big trouble for my own country. As soon as we leave, his country will become a public enemy of Europe, even more hostile to the Europeans than the Saracens on the Iberian Peninsula, and this is a never-ending situation. After listening to Wen Nan's narration, Hong Tao was also a lawsuit. At present, this situation is already the worst, if you can't think of a good way to solve it, Da Song will have to give it up. Europe has a bearing on the future development of the North American continent, and at the very least, it must ensure that the Mediterranean region cannot be lost.
"I think you should go back to Jinhe City, first convince your son, then you two emperors go to the parliament together, and then persuade them, and finally let the imperial government let the Great Song go first, and mobilize the army to the east of Europe. If the Imperial army can land from Khorezm and attack westward, the European countries will not have time to think about me and William, and they may have to beg us to send troops and march east together against the Imperial army. At that time, the imperial army can no longer advance westward, so that the empire will occupy a large area of the original Byzantine Empire, and it will not be in vain, and our problem will be solved. Karl pretended to be a strategist and talked about his opinions eloquently, shaking his head quite proudly.
"Old Wen, what do you think of Carl's idea?" Hong Tao seemed to listen, but he couldn't make up his mind and asked Wen Nan for his opinion.
"It's a good way, but how to convince the Imperial Government is a big problem. Jin He is no longer the Jin He of the past, he is very assertive, and he interferes in government affairs a lot more than when you were the emperor. There are few old people left in Yiyi's government, including the parliament. I'm afraid you'll face a fierce confrontation when you go back, and your father and son will become rivals. Wen Nan had obviously heard Carl's suggestion, and he was supportive of it in principle, but he was a little worried about Hong Tao.
