"If you don't go to sea yourself......"

Hearing Xu Shi's words, Xia Ke'an blinked his eyes and said thoughtfully, "That's going to send someone out to explore?" ”

She doesn't want to play with Xu Shi, "What is it?" "You're amazing!" This little trick to satisfy men's vanity is played by children.

And she's in the form of a royal sister now, so it's not uncommon to do that kind of thing.

Xu Shi didn't care what she thought, she just smiled and nodded.

On this trip to the Hualan Empire, he was more of a pioneer to set a model for the follow-up development, which really made him spend the rest of his life on continuous expansion at sea, and he himself was unwilling.

This person's nature is still lazy, and no matter how he says it, he is also the master of one party, there is no problem with the royal driving and personal expedition once or twice, and it is always a little inappropriate to always leave the rear base camp empty like this.

Now that we have experience, it is only natural that we have to adjust our methods and methods.

While stabilizing and improving navigation technology, it is enough to continuously send fleets to explore the sea.

And he only needs to be in charge of the base camp, which is much more efficient in comparison.

"Indeed."

Xia Wuwu also agreed, she knew that everyone had gained a lot from this trip.

At least this model is established, from setting up signal nodes along the way, to building overseas bases, and then reaching diplomatic relations with other regions to trade according to demand...... If it can continue, it will be possible to expand a worldwide network in a few years.

Still.

"There is a question to pay attention to, how to determine the overall strength of the other city-states?"

Xia Kitten reminded again, "You must be vigilant at this point. ”

This is a big problem that cannot be ignored.

In other words, this is the embodiment of the law of the dark forest.

Each of the experimental areas is independent and different from each other, and there is no guarantee that all areas will be as friendly as the Hualan Empire.

In other words, the Hualan Empire did not have a friendly attitude towards the visit of outsiders at the beginning - it was Silver Pine Island that held a friendly attitude, and that was because everyone saved the lives of Pan Cheng's family by mistake.

At first, the main body of the empire was quite repulsive to these outsiders, although the resistance given was not enough to really stumble Xu Shi's footsteps, but after all, it gave resistance.

This is to be expected, after all, the "Heavenly Principles" themselves divide each area very separately, and they also want to see the city-states separate from each other.

If someone had landed in Night Sin City before Xu Shi had set out to sea, their reaction might not have been any better.

In this case, going to sea to explore is a risky thing, and the trip to the Hualan Empire was relatively smooth, mostly because of the crushing of science and technology, or the overall strength, which allowed them to beat a wave of primitives.

But what if other regions are stronger than them? Then the outcome may not be the same.

Desperately exposing the risk of letting the other party know that there are other forces outside of themselves, it is very likely that they will backfire on themselves, just like they did to the Hualan Empire.

Conquest, diplomatic relations, and being conquered are all possible, and it is not always possible to prepare for the worst, but to prepare for the worst.

Thinking about it like this, Xia Wuwu is a little scared, thanks to the fact that the first time he went to sea was a simple mode, otherwise he might not be able to become what it would be like now.

Xu Shi was noncommittal, but he only comforted the other party.

"I've thought about it, if we want to cast the net, we have to focus on convergence."

He said in a deep voice, "That is, to lower your posture for the time being, such as trying to explore and contact other city-states in the name of caravans, and then make adjustments after you find out their details." ”

Yes, since it's a dark forest, then they have to learn a little.

Appear to the hunter as a prey.

The caravan trade model is obviously easier for most people to accept their existence, and communicating with each other is also the easiest way to know the strength of the other party.

As for whether there will be a disparity in strength, he is still very confident at this point.

"First of all, the overall strength of Night Sin City is by no means bad."

"We can't be said to be the strongest, but at least we are in the upper middle range. ”

This is still a very conservative estimate.

"Secondly, in the way that the various regions are planned in the way of "heavenly principles", it is absolutely impossible for the situation where the gap is too large."

"Because to do so is undoubtedly contrary to their ultimate goal." ”

The reason is simple, it's normal for there to be differences between city-states, but this is only to ensure the diversity of the experimental area, so that they can accumulate more samples and find easier ways to clear the "rusty fog".

But if there is a situation where the upper and lower limits are too large, there will be a fundamental problem - to take the simplest example, if there is really an area in charge of some anti-heaven technology such as two-way foil, then he does not have to go to great lengths to do these things, this one city-state is enough to crush the others, and then dominate.

But in this way, the number of samples that can be collected by the "Heavenly Principles" will continue to decrease, and in the end, it will only depend on this one place?

It is clear that such a risk cannot be taken for them.

Therefore, at the beginning of the planning, "Tianli" must have defined all areas in a certain range, and the strength of each other must be high and low, but there will never be too much tilt.

Even between Night Sin City and the Hualan Empire - although it is said to be crushing, the software advantage of ideology and poor information is the key to determining the victory.

As for hard power, it is also because of the royal family, the suppression of the Holy See, and the division within them, so they can win so smoothly.

But if the Holy See and the royal family join forces to deal with him, an outsider, can it really be so smooth? I don't think so.

Even if you can gnaw this bone, it is very likely that you will lose both sides or even die in the net.

So, this issue needs to be paid attention to, but don't be too scared.

Occupy the median position between 0 and 100 and occupy the median position between 0 and 10,000, which are two completely different concepts.

"And we're not primarily about expansion and conquest by nature, are we?"

The old aunt expanded her thinking and said, "What should be established is a model similar to an alliance." ”

"Now that we have the Hualan Empire as an ally, if we are the pioneers in going to sea, this is already a great advantage."

She rarely put on a serious face, "In this case, if we can win over one or two more ally city-states, we will definitely be able to occupy absolute dominance." ”

"And as this alliance continues to grow, it is the regions that are still independent that need to consider what the consequences will be if they do not stand on the same side as us."

"Yes, yes."

Xu Shiwen Zou Zou read a sentence and touched her head, "The good daughter is so smart." ”

"Who's your daughter?"

The white-haired royal sister also gave her an eye knife.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

Xu Shi hurriedly changed his words, "You are not my daughter, you are a fool who really fed the dog." ”

“…… I'll bite you to death! ”

The old aunt blew up in an instant, and the little boy learned to play boomerangs?

Are you talking about serious things now?

The two of you went back and forth.

Xia Wuwu just wanted to laugh when he saw it.

She still has a little impression of what happened in her childhood, ten years ago, I'm afraid no one could do this, so that the dignified "refracted light" second master is like a little daughter-in-law, and she will lose her temper and be jealous or something.

She likes this kind of happy atmosphere, it's just fun, it's just fun.

Xu Shi and Xia Ke'an giggled for a long time before stopping, the old aunt was not good at running, and fell weakly into Xu Shi's arms, holding his face with one hand.

If it's in the Lori form, it's not too cute, but if it's in the form of a royal sister...... It's more or less naïve.

I don't know who just shouted in my heart, saying that it is not uncommon to make a child's move.

Xu Shi easily took her hand and let her rest on his lap.

The topic is also back on track.

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Xu Shi restrained his smile, "In fact, the most important place to establish an alliance system is not trade or diplomacy, but to pull as many people into the water as possible." ”

"Huh?"

"Or rather, we want to try to get more people awakened."

Xu Shizheng said, "Let them realize that their lives are being manipulated, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to make the right choice." ”

Yes, his starting point is not to conquer other regions, it can only be regarded as a means, not an end in itself.

The ultimate goal is to overthrow the "Heavenly Principles" and then clear the "rusty fog".

And the trip to the Hualan Empire can be regarded as giving him a lot of inspiration, and he is not the only one in this world who is unhappy with "Heavenly Principles".

For example, Pan Ling, Lu Baiyan, including Dongfang Xiao, after learning the truth, they all felt deep hatred for the mastermind behind all this.

Having a yearning for the City of Night Sin and wanting to establish communication with it is an ideological issue, and it does not affect anything else.

They also can't accept that their lives are set to serve a particular object.

With a point of breaking the face, can the people of other city-states be able to accept this? With a high probability, it is impossible.

It's just that I don't know what's behind all this.

Then, it is only necessary to expose all this at the right time, and such a blockbuster news with traces to follow is enough to sober up most people.

And once they accept this fact, it is self-evident what they will do.

Of course, there must be a handful of people who refuse to accept it, or who are still obsessed.

For example, the "protagonists" of various regions, as vested interests, will not let people get involved in their good lives, to take the simplest example, even if people like Shen He or Luo Yu know the truth, will they choose to give up? Absolutely not.

They will only be more tied to the "Heavenly Principle" because they are the chosen ones.

Then, for such an existence, it is good to simply clear it, Boss Xu has already killed the two "protagonists", and he doesn't mind coming three, four, five or six more.

But having said that, is there any guarantee that there will be a "protagonist" who is willing to resist? Not encountering such a person does not mean that such a person does not exist, whether there will be a "protagonist" who is willing to give up a good life and seek a higher dimensional freedom, which is difficult to say for a while.

You can't say that when you encounter two bad things, you will completely deny everyone else.

"In short, what we have to do, at the end of the day, is screening."

He cleared his throat and concluded, "Choosing someone who can stand with us is also an enhancement of our overall strength." ”

As for how to screen, that's something he has to adjust according to different situations.

"Looks like you're going to trouble me again."

Xia Ke'an recommended himself, raised his head to look at him and laughed, "Coax me, or I won't strike." ”

She knows exactly how much of a role her abilities can play in this kind of thing, and at worst sheer cheating - observing the future of others, analyzing whether she can win them over based on probability, and picking out the "watchdogs" hidden in each area.

This family has to be scattered without me!

Xia Wuwu didn't speak, just sat up straighter and gave Xu Shi a look.

To this day, the tacit understanding between the two is indestructible, and there is no need to say it at all to communicate or something.

Xia Kitten admits that she can't think as much as Xu Shi or her aunt, but she also has her own advantages - her combat power is top-notch, whether it is leading the fleet to sea or clearing heretics, she is also willing to shine in these places, so as to contribute to Xu Shi's plan.

No one seems to really worry about the dangers of such a crazy plan, because there is a fairly unanimous attitude on this point.

There are dangers, but you can't stop them because they are dangerous, but you should make a plan as comprehensive as possible so that they can carry out their plan smoothly.

“…… This is just a prototype of the plan, and it is still too early to be implemented. ”

Xu Shi smiled, "We haven't even arrived home yet, and it always feels a bit hasty to express our stance now." ”

"Let's take a stand, you can steal the fun."

Xia Ke'an glanced at him, "This is to see that your performance is not bad...... Why, I don't plan to go to sea again, and I can't find a beautiful little girl again, do you regret it very much? ”

"Is there anyone more lovely in the world than you?"

Xu Shi was very surprised by her yin and yang weirdness.

I have to say that he knows how to coax people, the old aunt is visibly red, and the smile in her eyebrows and eyes can't be hidden at all.

She loved to hear that.

Unexpectedly, he looked at Xia Wuwu in the next second, "Oh, it turns out that there is." ”

Xia Kitten was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This man's ability to speak flatteringly is getting more and more perfect, isn't he?

But she was just as useful, and she posted it as she spoke.

"I don't recognize what you say, you have to do something to do."

Xia Ke'an also came to the other side when he heard this, and he had already started to untie his clothes like a female hooligan, "When the time comes, I will also ......"

Why do you want to keep the royal sister form all the time? Isn't that what that's all about......

Eat rice bowl tonight!
