Chapter 432: Seeking Skin with the Tiger! [three]
And in the depths of the sky, the smoke and light from the shattering and disintegration of the planet obscured a stealth warship hidden in the darkness.
The general in the battleship had a complicated face, and through the skylight, through the big explosion and the noisy smoke and dust, it seemed that he could also see the lonely figure lying on the broken earth.
"If the surveillance system is not wrong, the Twin Eagle Empire and the Muller Federation have lost a full double digit number of nobles in the battle just now......"
"My lord, did you agree with him on any terms?"
The general's subordinates, those earthlings still don't understand the change of things, in fact, the general is also a little hindsight, but he quickly figured it out.
"I still underestimated him. He's more mature than he was before......"
The general sighed, his tone a little solemn, "When I saw him, I thought that he must have come for revenge, and this time, I will probably have to fight to the death." But it didn't occur that he was no longer him. ”
"Do you know what the signs of a person's maturity are?"
The general asked a rhetorical question, and then, without waiting for the others to answer, he said to himself, "It's learning to compromise." ”
"Let's go, the Federation has no chance for us to intervene. A tyrant who learns to compromise and becomes mature is terrible. If you could, I really didn't want to be his enemy. ”
The general sighed under his breath, shook his head, and commanded the battleship to draw an arc in the dark starry sky and disappear into the starry sky.
Li Tomb sat up from the collapsed earth, caught the brilliance that flashed in the dark starry sky, and looked indifferent, why did he let the general go again?
It's very simple, the unknown enemy is what Li Tomb feels uncontrollable, and this boundless universe. I am afraid that there will be too many unknown enemies in the future to count. Rather than facing those unknown enemies, Li Tomb prefers to face a known enemy, such as a general.
With the ability of the general, after being driven out of the Muller Federation by him, he may choose to retaliate. But it is more likely that the general relied on his so-called prophet to choose the future that another general knew.
The future is unknown to Li Tomb, but it seems foreseeable to the general, and then as long as he follows the general's line, he can also see more of the future under the fog.
Yes, he took the general as a coordinate, one that would allow him to see the future. The general is undoubtedly a formidable enemy, an enemy who can foresee future changes, which makes people feel creepy to think about, but from the other side. It is precisely because of the general's foresight that Li Tomb can grasp the future changes from the general's movements.
It sounds incredible, but in fact, the history of the development of civilization has proved that the rise and fall of dynasties and the revolution of new technologies are not only seen by those so-called wise people. In fact, there was no shortage of contemporaries who saw the same opportunities as those who were hailed as wise legends.
It's just that at that time, it is often a fork in the road of history, and some people choose the left. Then it came to an abrupt end, and some people chose the right. And then Brilliant I. Life is actually the art of choice, and life is the wisdom of choice.
In this life, people will face countless choices, choose the right one will be brilliant, choose the wrong one will be gloomy, and often in fact, the two roads of glory and gloom appear in front of you at the same time. It's just that there is too much fog in front of the future, and at this fork in the road of history, not every time you can choose the right one.
So Li Tomb needs a coordinate, a coordinate that can help him see the road ahead, and the general is a good choice. At least not in the previous Skynet analysis. Or in Li Tomb's thinking now, the general's life will always bring him greater benefits than the general's death.
At least when he occasionally has a choice, a look at the general may help him know how to make a better choice.
If Li Tomb was like a soldier and a soldier before, then now he is learning to be a politician, a politician who learns to compromise and knows how to balance, because no matter what you say, how you think, from ancient times to the present, it is often a politician who can really decide a thing.
If this politician has his own unshakable idea, then this politician may be able to become a politician, but the problem is that although Li Tomb has his own persistence, it is difficult to be accepted by any country in the modern universe, so he is also destined to become a politician for a long time in the future, maybe a brutal politician.
So in addition to cruelty, he may need hypocrisy. In addition to insistence, he may need to compromise. But he reminded himself that there is always a bottom line that he must guard, because people in the world are often like this, at the beginning they are always enthusiastic, wanting to change a qiē, and then take a step back here, let go there, and compromise so much that they are all assimilated.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and subconsciously touched his chest, there should have been a necklace there, and there should have been her shadow on the necklace, but where did the necklace fall now?
He tried hard to recall, and then found with some bitterness that he didn't know when, and he had gradually deviated from his original direction.
The initial idea was actually simple. He just wanted to find her, just pure persistence, but he didn't know when the necklace was gone, and he didn't care, but now he realized that maybe it was when the necklace disappeared, and he had already deviated from his original idea of being ridiculously simple.
Obviously he only wants to save one person, but he somehow carries the fate of the entire race on his back, is this a greater ambition worthy of generosity and sorrow, or is it that he has long been overwhelmed by the pressure of this fate, so that he has forgotten his original thoughts.
When you are alone, you always like to think cranky. He shook his head vigorously, telling himself to stop thinking about it, to avoid the fear in his heart, it turned out that he had already realized from the day he woke up, maybe a little earlier, when he was reduced to a zombie.
No matter how firm and persistent he is, in fact, he can't go back, and he can't go back to such simple happiness.
"Hopefully it didn't disturb your sunrise."
Mu Chenggong's cold voice sounded in Li Chenggong's ears, Li Tomb came back from his silent thoughts, raised his head and looked at Mu Chenggong standing on the bridge of the battleship in the depths of the sky.
"I'm just waiting for you. Hurry up, we'll do our best to complete the agreement, and then there's still a lot to do. ”
Mu Chenggong's tone was not polite, even if he was the first to understand Li Tomb's intentions and implement them firmly. But in fact, he and Li Tomb did not reach any secret agreement before, and he believed that Viscount Fia of the Double Eagle Empire did not either.
In fact, the reason why he understood it as soon as Li Tomb killed the nobles of the Double Eagle Empire, and chose to stand on Li Tomb's side was because of a story about drinking and chatting during the previous voyage.
At that time, the situation was like this, he, Li Tomb, and Viscount Fia and several other nobles were drinking together, Li Tomb said in a joking tone at the time, if someone died at the hands of Tian Guang in this operation, it should make people feel happy instead of sad, after all, if one person dies, one less person will share the benefits after the battle.
The nobles present at that time were inevitably a little harsh when they heard it, but when it really happened, all the nobles were seriously injured, and the general successfully attacked Kazakhstan, in fact, this thought suddenly flickered in Mu Chenggong's mind.
To be honest, he didn't feel too sad at that time, and the first thought that came to his mind was that Kazakhstan died, so who should take over the remaining forces of Kazakhstan?
Then it was so simple that Li Tomb struck and killed a nobleman of the Double Eagle Empire again, and he suddenly realized that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to multiply his own interests even if he didn't need to wait for the development of the new river system to be completed.
Normally, it would be difficult to kill a nobleman, but now it seems that a major reshuffle can be completed, whether it is within the Federation or against the Double Eagle Empire, it will be a unique opportunity.
A person who can become a nobleman must be good at seizing opportunities. So Mu Chenggong wanted to seize this opportunity after seeing Li Tomb make a move, he couldn't make a move on the nobles of the Federation clearly, and it was impossible to kill Li Tomb, but as long as he made a move, chaos would detonate, and then more nobles who wanted to understand this truth would also seize the opportunity.
Facts have proved that the nobles are really greedy snakes, and the Viscount of Fia of the empire is angry on the one hand, and can't wait to strangle the nobles of the Federation, this is really an excellent deal, without evil to each other's internal allies, but with the help of each other's hands, to complete a major reshuffle of domestic power.
No one is more stupid than anyone else, and the only benefit that a long life brings to the nobility is to make them believe only in profit, and not in so-called human emotions. Just like a Kazakh, Mu Chenggong remembered that he and he seemed to be very good friends, close comrades-in-arms a long, long time ago, well, Tian Guang was also at that time.
Then a long time changed, if it weren't for his efforts to recall, he seemed to be about to forget, it turned out that what died today, and was indifferently divided by them, turned out to be his former good friend.
"So, that's a fragile feeling, isn't it?"
Baron Chen Nuo's voice sounded coldly, he was also one of the five surviving barons of the Muller Federation, his face was a little pale at the moment, with a hint of sarcasm, "So don't talk to me about any feelings anymore, today's events have proved that only interests are eternal." ”
"We're talking about profit now."
Baron Hill nodded, but his eyes looked at Li Tomb, who had joined the online meeting last, "So, Your Excellency, how do you think the benefits should be distributed?" ”
"Don't worry, I don't have a big appetite. Tian Guang and His Excellency the fallen Kazakh baron, the forces they left behind, I want it. ”
Li Tomb waved his hand, and his tone was stiff, "As for how you want to divide it, it's up to you!" (To be continued......)
