The atmosphere in the meeting room fell silent.

Between the words of Hu Fu, the leader of the Zhao * Cavalry Shooting League, and Feihong, the leader of the Lu * Taishan League, the dispute over the question of "the goal of the imperial expedition is to deny it to Russia" is full of gunpowder. It is very difficult to get any of them to regress.

Qin Xiaobai looked at everyone with a smile, without the slightest intention of making any statement.

This most critical "expedition" issue should not only benefit the players of the Yan Kingdom, but also make the nine leaders at the negotiation table reach an agreement, and the negotiations cannot collapse, so as to achieve the success of the alliance of the nine princes and players, which will be a highly skilled game.

Now is far from the time for him to exit.

He naturally placed his hands on the round table, waiting for the cards to be played.

He, the Sword King, the Sea Soul, and the Wild Dragon, representing the players of the four vassal states of Yan, Qi, Wu, and Chu respectively, had actually reached a naval fleet expeditionary alliance long before this negotiation. This expedition had to be carried out from the sea in order to be in the fundamental interests of their four princes. However, the alliance of the four of them was still too weak, and five of them did not form an alliance with them, and they had to bring together at least two of the princes' representatives in order to gain an overwhelming advantage.

Before getting Qin Xiaobai's hint, the Sword King, the Wild Dragon, and the Sea Soul would not play their cards easily. The four of them have a very high tacit understanding, silently planning in their hearts, waiting for a good time. Wait for the game to be sure, and lay the advantage in one fell swoop.

Qinglian of the Qin * World Alliance, although she threw out the topic, she also didn't say too much. Instead, he glanced at the other eight negotiators at the round table with a faint smile, thinking in his heart that he should unite with them. Overwhelms the other several.

What she agreed with was, of course, to carry out expeditions along the Silk Road, along the main arteries of "Central Plains-Central Asia-West Asia-Europe." $$ Qin State happens to be at the throat of this road, so that Qin players can get the most benefits.

She is now sure that she will have the support of Zhao Guodi's Hufu cavalry. Because it is also beneficial to Zhao State. What she wants to know most at the moment is what the attitude of Xiaobai, the eldest leader of the Zhou Shui League of the Yan Kingdom, the son of heaven of the Heavenly Son League of the Wei State, and the swordsman of the Shu Zhong League of the Bashu Kingdom. If the trio could be persuaded to support the 6-Way Expedition, they would have a slim advantage over five of the nine.

As for Lu, Qi, Wu, and Chu, the base camps of these four families were on the southeast coast, not close to the inner 6, and vigorously developing the naval fleet, it was definitely going to take the naval expeditionary route, and she had little hope of persuading them to support the 6-way expedition.

Five-to-four situation. The difference in strength is not big, and no one can convince anyone. It is likely that the nine princes will split into two factions, and at the same time carry out expeditionary operations from the sea and 6 - this is in the most favorable situation for the Qin state. If the situation is bad, it is likely that the Yan Kingdom will also support the navy, after all, the naval fleet of the Zhoushui Alliance is second to none among the nine princes. In this way, it will become four to five. In any case, the Nine Princes are likely to be divided.

This is what she does not want to see.

She sighed slightly. It is necessary to avoid the division of the nine princes. The difficulty will be very high.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Son of Heaven of Wei * Heavenly Alliance led the Son of Heaven to see that everyone was silent, laughed, and said in a mediation manner towards Hu Fu and Feihong: "Don't worry, two brothers, you have something to say." Speaking of expeditions to Russia-Western Europe. To be honest, I don't agree with that. The reason is similar to that of the Feihong brothers, Russia and Western Europe are too far away from the borders of our Wei State, and almost all of the land that has been defeated is won by the players of the two vassal states of Qin and Zhao, and we can't get much benefit. The most important thing is that if we attack Russia, we will make a strategic mistake. ”

"Oh, what do you say?"

The swordsman of the Shu Zhong Alliance, who had not spoken, suddenly asked. == The Son of Heaven groaned and lost everyone's appetite. Fang Cai said with a smile: "There are now four major powers in Europe: Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, and there are several slightly inferior powers, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and so on. They are in a kind of strategic balance with each other, containing and guarding against each other, and fiercely competing for the territory of Western Europe's interests.

We beat Russia, but Russia did not dare to fight back in a big way, why is this?

It's very simple, one is that the road in Siberia is too far for them to spend, and another important reason is that they don't dare to draw troops to fight back. Russia's neighbors, Germany, and France, were watching the excitement from the sidelines. If Russia strikes back. Send troops to Siberia and start a war with Chinese players. Then Russia could be attacked by German and French players at any time, which would lead to a total collapse of Russian players in the direction of Western Europe - this is something that Russian players cannot afford.

If we go on an expedition to Russia. Then it will immediately upset the balance in Western Europe, and even if it can destroy Russia, it will benefit German and French players. Moreover, after the destruction of Russia, the entire European players will be shocked and take strict precautions against us, and we will next face directly with the German and French coalition forces, and even the entire Western European coalition - this is definitely a strategic mistake. We need to divide Western Europe, not give them a chance to unite. All I am opposed to setting the goal of the expedition as Russian. ”

Qin Xiaobai nodded slightly.

It seems that the Tianzi League of Wei opposed the 6th expedition, and it seems that it decided to take the route of the naval expedition. Lu and Wei both supported the navy, so at least six of the nine princes supported the naval expedition. It's still a clear attitude of Bashu.

He seemed to be lost in thought, his right index finger tapping lightly on the tabletop.

The Sword King received the code, understood it, and said loudly: "What the Son of Heaven said is right, it is a strategic mistake to set Russia as the target of the expedition. We should not rush to upset the balance between the four European powers, but should avoid the strong and the weak, and seize more power in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, and then compete with a few strong opponents. Brother Swordsman, what do you think? "Enclosing territory in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and other parts of the world cannot be done by relying on the Sixth Army, and only the Navy can do it. The words of the Sword King are also tantamount to supporting the naval expedition in disguise.

The Sword King looked at the Shu Zhong Alliance's leading sword directly opposite the round table

Man.

The swordsman of the Shu Zhongmeng smiled and said: "Well, everyone has their own opinions on strategic issues, and it is inconvenient for me to say anything. I don't know what the other brothers here think? The swordsman played a trick gun, avoided answering the substantive questions that the sword king said, and threw the ball to the others.

Qin Xiaobai smiled secretly.

Bashu was deep in the southwestern hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, whether it was far from the northern grasslands or from the southeast coast, and it was very difficult for the 6th Army to go on expeditions and naval expeditions, so it was not surprising to take a neutral position. The Sword King asked for the opinions of the others, obviously looking at which side was strong, so he stood on that side.

Again, he hinted.

Wu Zhoushan League Sea Soul and Chu Zhanjiang League Crazy Dragon have made it clear that they support the proposals of the Sword King, Feihong, and the Son of Heaven, and oppose the expedition to Russia.

The situation at the negotiating table began to take on a one-sided situation. Five have already made it clear that they are on the side of the naval expedition. Only Qin and Zhao still supported the 6th Army's expedition to Russia.

Hu Fu was a little anxious about this situation.

Qinglian was a little unexpected, but she maintained a normal demeanor.

The swordsman of the Shu Zhongmeng obviously saw the situation at the negotiation table clearly, and pondered for a while before saying: "Our goal is to establish a world order, and it is indeed not suitable to break the current balance in Western Europe. I propose to take Asia as the first phase of the expedition, especially in the Indochina Peninsula, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean. ”

He finally offered a price. Bashu is the closest to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, and you only need to borrow Myanmar to easily enter and exit the Indian Ocean, which is very beneficial to Bashu players. At the same time, it is also extremely beneficial to Chu players.

The nine people present all understood that if they agreed to the price he offered, the Bashu player forces represented by the swordsman would inevitably support the naval expeditionary route.

Qin Xiaobai nodded slightly.

The mad dragon, the sea soul, and the sword king all agreed and accepted the price offered by the swordsman. And Feihong of Lu and the son of heaven of Wei are not opposed, as long as it is a naval expedition, it is relatively beneficial to them.

Qinglian casually glanced at the people present, and noticed that the eyes of several of them were vaguely transmitting some kind of signal, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them, slowly promoting the progress of the alliance negotiations, making the negotiations progress steadily in one direction.

Could it be that several of you here have already reached an alliance beforehand?

Sensing this, she was secretly shocked in her heart.

Is it one person in charge, or is it multiple people joining forces?

The nine people here, each of them are princes of one side, and they are extremely powerful figures, and it is impossible to easily subdue anyone. She believes that there is a high possibility that multiple people will work together to control the situation. Sword King, Wild Dragon, Sea Soul, Feihong, Son of Heaven, Swordsman, those few of them have already reached an alliance and manipulated the situation at the negotiating table behind the scenes?

She looked at it for a long time, unable to tell.

Her eyes fell on Xiao Bai not far away, in fact, in the entire negotiation table, only Xiao Bai was still thinking about something, and did not make a clear statement.
