Chapter 648: Exercise
"Drills?" Victoria thought for a moment, "Do you want to give the two sides a real confrontation exercise?" β
"Have we ever done this before?"
"Nope." Victoria replied, "But it seems that tens of thousands of people have died, although it is mainly the vassals on both sides." But that was a long, long time ago, and we tacitly didn't attack each other after we realized that there was nothing good in attacking each other. β
"Is there a covenant between us, then?"
"Not either." "In reality there are hardly any agreements on paper between us, some of them are short-term delivery orders and the like, and none of them are long-term agreements. The Alexandria Conference on both sides of us will not actually adopt any mandatory resolution. In Aurora's language, it's called 'gentlemen's friendship is as light as water', and there is absolutely no need for us to bind each other with paper agreements. β
"Because there's no need for any hostile behavior, is it?"
"Huh." Victoria smiled, "I think that's where it all comes from. Rome isn't good, and Aurora isn't either, is it? But neither side of us has any interest in attacking the other, I am afraid because the act of war is too bad for us to do any good. In other words, indigestion. It's held up on both sides, and it needs to be digested. β
"What do you think would have been the future of both of us, if it weren't for the present? Have you estimated this? β
"I'm sure there will be a world war. There will be bloodshed, and I think it will happen, and even the previous Babylon summits have discussed this, and both sides are noncommittal, anyway, they are laughing at each other, and everyone knows what will happen - by the way, the Babylon summit is different from Alexander's, the Babylonian meeting is mainly held by the Ministry of Rites, and it is a meeting for our two sides to coordinate global governance, and we will have the vice emperor to participate. If it's next time"
She thought for a moment: "Although the situation is getting worse, if Rome is not finished, the Babylon summit will still be held." Maybe you'll come this year tooβif you do, I won't let my father attend on my behalf, I'll come myself." There are some things that I have to explain to you face to face, and by the way, I will talk about other cooperation issues in the future. β
"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded, "If you want that, I'll go." β
"What do you mean, 'I hope so', and although there is no one else around, we don't seem to know each other that well, do we?"
"I'm talking about business, what are you talking about?"
[Tsk, she's in a hurry. γ
"Ahem." After a few seconds of silence, Victoria reopened, "Anyway, I don't seem to have any other opportunity to talk to someone like that. Because I have to be responsible for everything I say to others. It's a private phone call here, so you can say whatever you want. β
"Actually, as long as you're not here to declare war, it's good to have a meeting. Phaethon would have liked to meet familiar people, too. β
"Then you will take her with you. By the way, the Babylon Summit should be after you want a 'military exercise'. Do you really want to try it? If you want to try, you can. Remember what I said earlier, we 'ran in' a lot of people with each other during the run-in period? Let's just simulate what it was like at that time. β
"You mean, give the confrontation a theme?"
"You have to limit the situation."
"Tsk." Shang Luo replied, "Are you addicted to running in groups, and you have to find a script for everything?" β
"It's not that I'm looking for it, it's that if we want to simulate, we can't set up a void space where we don't recognize each other out of thin air, we have to pick a theme. So, what theme are you looking for? Or so I ask β what time period do you want to play? At what stage do you want to limit the armament of both sides? β
"Can you try it? It's not just one fight anyway. β
"Then it's better to win two out of three, and I'll pick a few scripts for you to choose from, all of which we've had with each other β we first went to war with each other in the second half of the 17th century. The 17th century was for us, and as far as your calendar is concerned, I don't know very well. β
"It's okay, I know very well what the 17th century was like. But how was that battle fought? β
"It was the early modern period, the eve of a full-scale entry into the age of hot weapons. Tsk, I remember that Rome lost, and it was badly lost. But if you fight again, you won't necessarily lose. Then this one is my pick, do you have a script you want to pick? β
"Take out your active equipment and practice it. This was the theme of our training. β
"No problem, then we'll also take the active equipment. and." Victoria paused, "Since you brought it up, then the third script is also up to you." What do you want to compare? β
"How about PVE?"
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"It's just that we always fight each other, and the anger is too big. In the third game, it's better to compare who beats the brute faster. β
"Hey this," Victoria thought for a moment, "you're very thoughtful, I didn't even expect to be able to play like this." Okay, I'll take care of it. Then the black stone gave it to you, and we can communicate with each other. But you have to do it yourself. β
"Wait, we'll have to figure out the scale."
"Scale?" Victoria was stunned for a moment, "Not ten or twenty people?" β
"What are you talking about! Do you think it's a running group? At least 10,000 of them, of course. β
"More than 10,000! How could it be possible to access 10,000 people into the script at once. Ten people are about the same, just play the command, and then let the silhouette simulate the rest - I thought so at first. β
"I told you that it was a military exercise, and it must have been a big game."
"Okay. Alright," Victoria was silent for a few seconds, "here's the first question, I don't know if you've thought about it: about ten people, we can do small activities. If it's tens of thousands, it's bound to be a matter of letting the curtain fall. What are you going to do about this? Are you ready now to bring the transcendent world directly into the public eye? Even if you're ready, I'm not ready. β
"Tsk, you don't have to worry about this, I already have a plan."
"Okay." Victoria's voice was a little helpless, "I was really surprised by such a big change all of a sudden, and your ability to act is really good." Can Phaeth really take a vacation with you? β
"Now she is on mandatory leave. She should have returned this point."
