Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 13 The General Trend of the Nation in Twenty Minutes
As soon as the empress spoke, the three grand dukes immediately snickered, while Wang Wei looked at the three revolutionaries of the older generation helplessly.
This group of old ....
It's all uncles and uncles, and there are old men, you can't get angry, you can't get angry.
Wang Wei smiled bitterly, you have all agreed to these things!
"Well, even if it's me. ”
Wang Wei can only say this.
"I guess it's been planned for a long time. ”
Tina decided to squeeze a little bit.
"It's been a while. ”
Wang Wei said.
"Give me the reason, I need to know why you are doing this, and most importantly, why didn't you inform me beforehand. ”
The empress, naturally she must have the majesty of the empress, and when she saw Tina say this, Comrade Wang immediately burst into tears.
"Our Cortana finally has a fight!"
Wang Wei opened his mouth to say this, which washed away all the momentum that Tina had worked so hard to accumulate. But even Tina herself knew that there was really nothing she could do about this man, but she knew that there was one trick that worked best, and that trick came from Luna's unique professor, and with the friendly support of Elidan.
"Kane, tell me, okay?"
The expression on Tina's face softened, and then became more and more pitiful, looking at Wang Wei from the bottom up. Her hands were on her chest, her small mouth was slightly pursed, and the light in her eyes flashed, as if telling endless grievances.
"Okay, okay..."
According to what Wang Wei himself said, he is a good person through and through, he can't see others using this trick to deal with him, others are tough with him, he can kill others back to his hometown, but others use star eyes on him, then he can only raise his hand and give in in the end. Caught on his weakness, he moved a stool and sat down in front of Tina so that his eyes were level with her.
"To put it simply, it's what I said at the beginning, long-distance and close-range. ”
Wang Wei said.
"Isaac has never been a great power, and despite the rapid pace of our rise, we are nothing compared to those countries that have historical advantages. Those three countries were vassals arranged by Hugo there from the beginning, and their only purpose was to create chaos on the edge of our country, perhaps only a small mess, but as long as they could keep us from stopping, their purpose was achieved. And as a big country, the most important thing is to have an absolute iron-fisted policy to solve all this, and the easiest way is war. ”
Wang Wei stood up again and pointed to an area on the map.
"Hugo is here, with an Evanses in the middle, and here is Verne, and on the other side of Hugo, the empire of large and small stallions runs from here all the way to the coast. It can be said that the alliance of these countries is not without purpose, they have almost divided the entire continent from the middle. There was Tolkien above, and the nations that looked to Tolkien at the top, where the great powers were fighting each other, and below there was only us, and to the south was the desert, then the barren lands, all orcs, and bordering the barren lands were the Ike and their volcanic and brimstone-smelling lands. In other words, this momentum of theirs is actually a move to completely separate the civilized society of our entire continent!"
"Verne and Hugo have always had a relationship with each other, and that's something we all know. But why did the empire of Alexandre Dumas suddenly join their axis of evil? As I said a long time ago, the interests of the state and the state are the first consideration of the kings, and the first quality that all kings must possess is the wolf nature. Although I think Hugo's mad dog trait is more serious, I would not believe anything if there was no inexplicable agreement between the four of them. ”
"We in Isaac have the most fertile farmland on the continent, the most vast forests on the continent, the most majestic mountains on the continent, and the most beautiful coastline on the continent. We have the Death Desert as our natural barrier and don't have to worry about the orc invasion. Huge forests are still waiting to be developed. It can be said that Isaac basically has the conditions to become a superpower, but what is missing now?"
Wang Wei drew a chapter of the map in countless circles, and then sat back in front of Tina.
"We're about money. ”
Wang Wei took out a money bag from his pocket, shook it lightly, and the gold coin made a pleasant sound.
"Tolkien has this largest land in the world, the most wealth in the world, so they are the most powerful country in the world. But at the end of the day, what they have is still wealth!"
Wang Wei kept his money pocket on the table.
"Look at this time, when they saw the steel battleship, it seemed that without thinking about it, they directly bought the best one I could sell him, that is, there was nothing he couldn't buy as long as he wanted. If the war requires, all of Tolkien's citizens can be turned into soldiers in three days! This shows that Tolkien's people are fierce, but all that is needed to support such an army is gold!"
Wang Wei placed a gold coin in front of Tina, and then poured the remaining dozens of gold coins in front of him.
"That's the gap between us. ”
Wang Wei said.
The pity in Tina's eyes was gone, replaced by a lingering worry, and she almost knew what Wang Wei was trying to say.
"Let's look at where we are. ”
Wang Wei paused for a moment and then said.
"Our domestic shipping has just started, this is a good stage of development, and the shipping itself is composed of river transportation and sea transportation, we have the magnificent Gray Dragon River, but it has been occupied by those three fool countries, and the most disgusting thing is that those three fool countries are still controlled by Hugo!"
"We all want to have a dog at our doorstep, but if someone else brings it to our doorstep, I'm afraid no one likes it. ”
"It seems that they have been isolated from us for some time like never before, they are afraid of our development, and although we have been lucky enough to get rid of their plot for the time being, who knows if they have any other plots?"
Wang Wei looked at Tina, watched her reaction, then lowered his head and counted the gold coins one by one.
"So, what we have to do is to take the initiative before they can react and put everything under our control. And first, we need to send a signal to the continent. ”
"Whoever goes against Isaac is against me, and the end of me and against me will be very miserable, we have to make every bastard country of the axis of evil regret it, and then come to kneel and beg me, beg me to let them go!"
Wang Wei crumpled the map into a ball with a loud bang and threw it far away into the wastebasket.
"Honey?"
Luna whispered to Wang Wei.
"What for?"
Wang Wei, who was feeling comfortable about his plan, looked at Luna's inexplicable expression strangely.
"That map is the only royal map in the country, and it doesn't seem good if you draw circles on it, and just throw it away like this. ”
......
The three archdukes couldn't hold back any longer, and after glancing at each other, they laughed out loud at the same time. And Tina was completely relieved from the heavy atmosphere, and smiled softly with her mouth covered.
"Let's be honest, what you just said, how long have you been memorizing it. ”
Tina asked with a smile.
"Twenty minutes, it's so easy, it's only two pages. ”
Wang Wei said triumphantly, and the faces of the three grand dukes beside the empress immediately showed embarrassment.
"I knew that something so deep was definitely not something you could have come up with. ”
Tina glanced at Luna behind her, and said as if she had known it for a long time. In normal times, Luna often tells Tina about her man, and the biggest characteristic is of course not that savage character, but that tendon brain. Wang Wei's thinking is very straightforward, which makes it impossible for him to think about the situation so deeply. Moreover, his description just now contains a lot of subtle analysis of the situation on the mainland. And most importantly, without the support of these grand dukes, he would not have known about such a situation!
"No way, our old face is not as thick as his, so I'm embarrassed to say it. ”
The old man stood up first.
The emperor actually has military power, but he also has no military power. In fact, Tina knew that the Founding Emperor should do this to prevent his descendants from abusing the power in their hands and eventually leading to the demise of the country. So all the rights are hollowed out, but the rights are concentrated in the hands of the emperor, as long as the emperor can pick up those rights.
The three Grand Dukes pledged to be loyal to the country, though no one knew why the heavily armed Grand Dukes had never done anything to be sorry for the country in all these years. The Grand Dukes protected the country as if they were their own family, and supported the emperor of the country with their own means.
However, it is said that there was a time in the history of this country that the three Grand Dukes joined forces to force the old emperor to appoint a new emperor because they were not satisfied with the emperor's arrangement.
The three archdukes have always appeared almost as a unit, and some connections unknown to outsiders have linked these three families together and become the strong backing of the entire Isaac.
Therefore, the least one thing Tina can be sure of is that if the three Grand Dukes all support Wang Wei's view, then it shows that this view is very operable in theory and in practice.
