Chapter 723: A Change in Thinking
Doesn't Margaret know about the situation in Ling Lingqi's words?
No, of course she knew it, but she couldn't refuse the trading conditions proposed by Wu Jizong, let alone give up this opportunity to gain extraordinary strength and rejuvenate at the same time.
Because she didn't know if there would be another such opportunity if she missed it.
As for the way to use force to forcibly rob the Wu family, she was not without such thoughts, but after some thoughtful analysis, Margaret chose to give up this idea that was not conducive to herself.
Because although the Wu family is the difference between a lion and a rabbit compared to the United Kingdom, it is not easy to fight against the forces she personally controls.
Maybe she has the most elite agents in the world under her hands, and she can also use a few real cronies to unite from the government to the military to put pressure on the Wu family, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, it is far inferior to the Wu family, which controls thousands of regular troops and more than 1,000 security police, as well as more than 20,000 reserve militias.
After all, she is only the head of the MI Land Service, and she can only use the core and periphery of less than a few hundred operatives, and more than half of these are hired outsiders.
And the United Kingdom army, she did not have an order signed by the Cabinet, and she could not mobilize even a squad of soldiers.
Otherwise, only one cruiser of about 10,000 tons and thousands of regular troops need to be dispatched, and Margaret felt that she should be able to deal with the two destroyers and other armies of the Wu family.
But the trouble is that the other party has more than single-digit extraordinary power, among which there is also a B-level extraordinary powerhouse, and as the inheritor of the ancient transcendent power, depending on the situation, the Wu family may have a deeper hidden power. Once it is launched, I am afraid that the United Kingdom will not be able to solve the problem in a short time.
And whether it is to use the army of the United Kingdom, or to ask her sister, who is Her Majesty, to send extraordinary forces to support, I am afraid that she will only get a small part of the harvest in the Wu family afterwards. With Margaret's knowledge of that man, there really was that kind of transcendent and youthful opportunity, and this opportunity would certainly not fall on her head.
"Perhaps, it is not necessary for someone to think about being a queen for another eighty years!"
Margaret couldn't help but complain in her heart, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for her poor nephew.
"Besides, Wu Jizong has already explained in advance, that kind of way to obtain extraordinary strength and regain youth in one fell swoop, what kind of dungeon task needs to be completed in that game to obtain, it really has to be forcibly snatched, even if I finally get a transcendent seed, whether I can complete the task that can only be completed by that B-level powerhouse has a chance to complete is still an uncertain situation......"
Margaret certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to give up her sure grasp of an uncertain outcome, but to make a wedding dress for her, even if it was her dear sister.
So now she is faced with a situation where she has to accept and reject both options, and of course she prefers the former.
In fact, from the perspective of the royal princess of the United Kingdom and the head of the MIA, the Wu family has such ambitions, and she instinctively felt a little unhappy at first.
But when she thought about it, she realized that she was thinking a little too much.
"I am neither the queen of the United Kingdom, nor the United Kingdom is no longer the Breton Empire on which the sun never sets, and it has no relationship with the many colonies in the South Seas to rule and be ruled!"
In other words, as long as it does not affect the interests of the United Kingdom in the South Seas, it is not a question of who will be the ruler of the land of Bo Ni Chau.
Unlike her adopted son, who still has some enthusiasm, Margaret has long been smoothed out of the innocence in her heart from World War II to the present, and now in addition to her own interests and the glory of the royal family, the rest is even the safety of the United Kingdom, and she basically doesn't care about the rest.
So there is a strong inclination in my heart, even if I am as wise as Mrs. M, I will inevitably be swayed by desire and find a good reason for myself.
She said to Ling Lingqi:
"I understand what you said, and even I know that the Wu family is not only the strength recorded in the archives of the Military Intelligence Land Department, in addition to their extraordinary strength, they also hide a lot of wealth and strength, even without our help, it is nothing more than impossible to achieve a greater goal, but they can completely retreat to the second......
Ling Lingqi frowned when he heard this, this kind of thing was still not suitable for him, he liked to follow orders, and then go to do some difficult tasks, challenge himself while maintaining justice and saving the world by the way!
Although he did not know whose justice belonged to him.
Margaret knew that the secret agent industry was the easiest to drill into the horns and the easiest to cause psychological problems, and she didn't want to have a gap in her heart with her most powerful assistant and closest adopted son, so she continued to analyze:
"The Goh clan wanted to expand their territory on the island of Pak Nai Chau, and the first thing to do was Sarah, the nearest Malayan state in the Bo Ni region. This has a great advantage for them, and as the land of the former Lan Fang Kingdom, there are many Chinese, and the Wu clan is also the most suitable choice for its goal. ”
"So I think they will definitely choose Sarah as their primary goal, so that although the success rate is not as great as the expansion to the south, the harvest is not comparable to the south, and it is completely worth their gamble!"
Ling Lingqi was about to speak, but Margaret interrupted him.
"I know that you are not optimistic about the Wu family and don't want to participate in it, but have you ever thought that the Wu family also wants the land of Malaya, not our land, which is a matter of generosity to others for the United Kingdom, even if you agree! Even if the Wu family succeeds, it basically has no negative impact on the United Kingdom, so what benefits can you get by worrying about Malaya? ”
Ling Lingqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was a little stunned.
Oh, yes! Why is he worried about Malaya?
Although he has selfish intentions, he was raised by the princess of the royal family, and he was trained by the military intelligence department, and he is also a loyal and patriotic person in his bones, so he instinctively does not want his adoptive mother to get involved with himself in the quagmire of war and conflict that may lead to war and conflict, as for wanting extraordinary power, it can be obtained from other ways.
Now that I am awakened by my adoptive mother, I find that I am also like those old and young remnants of the empire where the sun never sets, and they have fallen into the glory of the former empire, and subconsciously brought that kind of thinking, and also regarded Malaya and other regions as the colonies of the empire!
"I was wrong! Since the empire lost the most brilliant diamond in the crown, in the past hundred years, the South Seas region has long been no longer the colony on which the sun never sets! ”
Ling Lingqi sighed and then said:
"In particular, although Malaya was once a colony of the United Kingdom, some of their local forces have gradually become estranged from the Lemburg authorities over the years, although Lemburg's influence in Malaya is still not small, but even I can feel that the relationship between the two sides is no longer as close as in the last century, and those high-level earth kings and chieftains are still secretly eyeing the bald eagle!"
Margaret sneered and said: "The reason why this is so, you should also know very well, isn't it because Brittania is lonely, and it can no longer occupy a strong voice in the world like a hundred years ago, and it can't give them shelter and benefits like it did in the fifties and late of the last century?" ”
"And in the past few decades since the Bald Eagle became the hegemon of the new world, from the end of the last century to the present, Malaya has watched Javanese mud tin go to be a dog for the lighthouse country, biting this and gnawing that all day long, although the reputation is bad, but the stomach is very much eaten a lot of meat, and it is difficult for those unforeseen guys not to be greedy!"
