Since the establishment of the empire, even Wang Yu himself felt that the work of the diplomatic department seemed to have come to a standstill, and the huge empire seemed to be devoting all its energy to foreign expansion, and the scope of diplomacy was limited to a rather narrow area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFrequent wars have made the diplomatic department not know who to focus on for a while, the Indean Kingdom has fallen, the Duchy of Merry has disappeared, the Liberian states and Mache Khan have lost their diplomatic significance, and the Hansen Alliance? There is no need, and the only ones left are the Triple Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance.

Everything is dominated by military operations, diplomacy has completely become a vassal of the military, there is no stable diplomatic continuation strategy, the order is changed day by day, today is called peace talks, and tomorrow is called war, which not only has greatly damaged the credibility of the empire, but also made Wang Yu, the foreign minister of the empire, unable to sleep peacefully, and even need to think twice before saying anything, so as not to leave people with the image of breaking his word and gaining weight.

Wang Yu does not think that the current policy of the empire is completely in line with the interests of the empire, perhaps the appropriate expansion of the empire is necessary, but it does not need unlimited expansion, the complex ethnicity, religion and customs of various parts of the continent determine that it is impossible to unify under one country, in this case, why should there be unlimited pursuit in this regard? Ethnicity and population have reached a limit, and perhaps the problem is overshadowed by the current apparent strength of the empire, but if you calm down and investigate and analyze carefully, you will find that many of the newly incorporated lands of the empire have not been integrated into the empire as smoothly as the original Northern Luzon, which is particularly concerning, so Wang Yu felt the need to reflect on the national policy of the empire.

Inconsequential land is no longer so important, what is the value of bringing local empires like Daliao and Mawlamyine under rule? Does it enhance the overall national strength of the empire or does it have strategic goods that the empire urgently needs to be ensured? Nothing, except for poverty and the renewed destruction of the promise that the Nanyang Alliance has no territorial ambitions, it seems to have played no role, and from a military point of view it may indeed be necessary to secure a strategic route, but why can't it be made clear to the Nanyang Alliance that it is only a temporary occupation? The ambiguous strategy also puts him in a dilemma as a foreign director.

Wu Feng has read this national policy proposal three times, and he can even memorize many chapters and paragraphs, many problems he has thought about but have not really thought through, and many problems he has only tasted at the surface, and more problems are what he has pondered but has never been able to come up with a solution that can be taken into account in all aspects, maybe Wang Yi's proposal is not entirely correct, but Wu Feng also has to admit that on many issues, Wang Yi's analysis is indeed very accurate and realistic.

Xiao Tang and Su Qin had already read it, and Wu Feng even sent this proposal to Gu Ji to circulate and brainstorm, Wu Feng believed that considering such a major issue from all angles could give a more comprehensive understanding of the views and opinions of all parties, so that the interests of more classes could be taken into account when making decisions in the future.

"I can't see that Wang Mi really has a heart, I want to admit that the empire has been negligent in many aspects, and the empire can't completely rely on military action to solve the problem if it wants to establish the image of a responsible great power, just as Wang Mi said, is it necessary for the empire to be included in the empire's territory for direct management in places like Daliao and Mawlamyine? Wouldn't it be better to let the Nanyang Alliance retain a formal existence and control it through economic infiltration? For example, the Marbun Islands are already largely under our control, and after the settlement of the Maqi Khan issue, it is unlikely that the South Seas Alliance will pose much threat to the empire. These are all questions worth pondering, and the Empire needs a clearer display of national policy, so that our allies and neighbors can understand what the Empire wants to see in the future, and only by clarifying these can we all work towards our goals. ”

Wu Feng shook the manuscript paper in his hand, and he and Xiao Tang and Su Qin also made some discussions on this suggestion, thinking that although Wang Yi mostly analyzed and looked at the problems from a diplomatic point of view, it was quite deep and wide, and the issues involved were not only diplomatic issues, but also involved some deep-seated issues of the empire, such as the cultural assimilation of the Indean region, the settlement and naturalization of various ethnic groups in the Tengger steppe, and the economic integration of the Meili region and the empire, and even took into account what kind of means should be taken to deal with the empire after the victory of the war in regions such as Liboya and Maqihan, Many questions were not even considered by Wufeng and Xiao Su, but Wang Yi brought them up, which made the three of them a little embarrassed.

"Well, Your Majesty is right, during this period of time, the central government of the empire on the one hand paid too much attention to military issues, and at the same time, the government council also paid more attention to the financial and economic rectification of the interior of the empire, and there was a lack of an overall and long-term consideration for the new territories outside the interior of the empireWithout a unified culture and ideology, it will be difficult for the region to truly integrate into the empire, especially when the Indean culture still has a considerable centripetal force on the Indean tribes. ”

Su Qin also put forward his own opinions, " The situation in Zhongnan County and Nanhai County is much better in this regard, all ethnic groups in these places have gradually accepted the core ideas of our Tang culture, and continue to integrate their own national culture into Tang culture, especially in the rapid development of Taoism and Buddhism in these areas of the empire has played a very important role, so the minister thinks that the empire should also increase its efforts to support the missionary work of Taoism and Buddhism in the Indean region in the next step, and encourage the missionaries in the interior of the empire to spread the essence of Tang culture in Taoism and Buddhism to the Indean region in a steady stream, and strengthen the integration of Indean culture and Tang culture。 ”

"What Brother Su said is very much, in addition to the infiltration and integration of folk culture, the empire has been in education, art, Buildings should increase official investment and support, such as local administrative officials and schools to make the surname compulsory learning Tang language, promote the compulsory education of Tang language, build Tang-style landmark buildings in various places, promote the spread of Tang art in these areas, and at the same time absorb the essence of the culture and art of the Indo-German ministries for their own use, and further strengthen the sense of belonging of the Indo-German ministries to the empire, which should be promising in these aspects, but now the empire pays more attention to the economic development of various places, but ignores these aspects that are crucial to the unification and stability of the empire in the future, and integration into these thirty years is precisely the need for the empire's greatest attention in these aspectsOtherwise, once the centrifugal force increases, it will not be easy to bridge again. Xiao Tang also agreed.

"Well, these are all questions that we should consider, and the Council should study them immediately, but the most crucial question now is whether we should send this signal to everyone that the empire has no territorial ambitions and claims to any country or power other than Liboa, Mache Khan, and the Wadi? Wang Yi brought me back this problem, and I promised him that I could explain it to the Triple Alliance if needed, but now the Triple Alliance has asked me to publicly promise all my people, hehe, it seems that my credibility has fallen to a rather low level among my neighbors. Wu Feng laughed a little self-deprecatingly, Wu Feng, the territory of the Triple Alliance, has no ambitions, but what about the South Seas Alliance?

"Your Majesty, is this question aimed at the Nanyang Alliance?" Xiao Tang and Su Qin both keenly noticed Wu Feng's attitude.

"Yes, the Nanyang Alliance is like a piece of chicken ribs in my mind, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, Wang Yi suggested that I abandon it, I am a little hesitant, so I want to hear the opinions of the two of you. Wu Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, this issue has also been discussed between the minister and Brother Su, the opinion of the Government Council is the same as that of Wang Yi, we are inclined to give up, in fact, the Nanyang Alliance has been included in the arms of the empire, the territorial claim is really meaningless, the future development of the empire can only be on the ocean, with the further development of the empire's economy in the future, the economy of the Nanyang Alliance can only exist by relying on the empire, this is an indisputable fact. Xiao Tang cautiously put forward the opinion of the government council, "The necessary external competition even promotes the economic development of the empire to a certain extent, and the strength of the empire does not mean that everything must be included in the imperial management system." ”

Nodding, Wu Feng stood up and said slowly: "You have helped me make up my mind, the South Sea Alliance Empire can give up, but the interests of the empire in the New World must be fought for, and the maritime rights and interests will play an increasingly important role in the future, we must all be sober about this, and when this battle is resolved, the Empire will make every effort to develop the economy, and at the same time continue to expand its influence in the New World, and the competition with those powerful countries in the Western Continent on the ocean has just begun, and we will not be lonely in the future." ”
