Chapter 199: The Strategy for Seeking the Country
Depending on the situation, the Sword of Liberty has become an important strategic resource in the eyes of other countries except the Dreadnought Empire. What is certain is that regardless of what joint operations the coalition countries have solemnly organized, and they have also sent top spy fighters like Pixel Qing, in fact, there are actually some secret operations in secret, no one knows.
For example, Hu Liu, who came on behalf of the Sword Alliance, is a clear proof that Chen Guo, where the Sword League is located, will not look at the face of the Sword Alliance, who will believe it.
I really don't have a long memory, and the role of the coalition liaison has already taught me a lesson a while ago, and it's not been a few days since I rushed to do something secret.
Ling Xiao smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but to tell the truth, he still had to do this thing of entering the Dreadnought Empire, not for the alliance, not for the general trend of the world, just for the people he cared about in his heart.
Like relatives, like peaches, like the cute moon girl, like the big and unruly Liu family, like Zhao Xiaobao who has an ambition at a young age, these are all people who need to be guarded by themselves, Ling Xiao is unwilling to let these people be hurt even a little, so he came without hesitation.
Of course, the request of the sect master of the Sword Sect is also a reason, after all, it is his own old Taishan, and he can still please a little if he can share some worries.
It's just that the current situation of the Sword of Freedom also shows that even these underground resistance organizations that were once lonely and helpless are no longer unattended in today's changing situation, and I am afraid that a large number of various forces are trying their best to maintain good relations with them, no matter how the shape changes, it is always beneficial to operate in the Dreadnought Empire.
In this way, it may be a little more difficult to negotiate with the Sword of Freedom, but facing difficulties has always been one of Ling Xiao's strengths.
A few taps on the cheek to focus your cranky thoughts. Ling Xiao stepped forward and knocked softly on the door of the night general Zhao Xuewen.
To tell the truth, just as Ling Xiao thought, taking the opportunity of the gathering of underground forces from all over the world, more than one organization, even forces outside the Dreadnought Empire, came to greet the night general Zhao Xuewen, the representative of the Sword of Freedom, and all kinds of conditions were mentioned as soon as they opened their mouths, there is really no best, only better.
For Zhao Xuewen. The current situation, whether it is for him or for the Sword of Freedom, is a golden opportunity, as long as he can seize this opportunity, the Sword of Freedom will grow and even overthrow the rule of the Gun God, and it is very likely that he will achieve hegemony.
But this is not in tune with the philosophy he has always adhered to. Indeed, if well planned and effective. If the organization is fine, the unity is sincere, and the way to do it in the way of the sword of freedom, Zhao Xuewen is willing to give what he has. Including life to complete.
However, although Zhao Xuewen is a martial artist and has not learned enough in strategy, he can also see it. These people who came to make conditions with themselves and talk about cooperation were not thinking about the fate of the people of the Empire at all. Not even the fate of the sword of freedom, but their own interests.
It is true that who in this world does not want to be rich, powerful, and beautiful overnight, but if this qiē wants to be exchanged for the interests of the sword of freedom and the interests of the common people of the fearless empire, Zhao Xuewen's attitude is very clear, it is impossible.
He will never forget how he was oppressed by the official of the Dreadnought Empire to the point that his wife was separated and his family was ruined, and he will never forget the poisonous oath he made when his wife and young son died, and he will never forget the thousands of good brothers who died in vain for this cause after they gathered together for the same goal to establish the Sword of Freedom.
These people, these things, are like a burden that will always be carried in his heart, how can he ignore his own selfishness, betray his former oath.
It's just that everyone in the world is drunk, and the feeling of me waking up is uncomfortable, just the situation he knows, there are no less than ten organizations that have reached deals with various forces, either for the master who just took refuge in the Dreadnought Empire to run a sphere of influence, or to clear some thorns in the eye, this is not just sent away Hu Liu, but he has grown up with a good brother since he was a child, but since Hu Liu entered the Sword Alliance, the whole person has become different, and now he actually lets himself kill the benefactor Ling Xiao who once saved his life.
This made Zhao Xuewen puzzled no matter what, would people really change so much? He still clearly remembered how he and Hu Liu were in high spirits, guiding the country, and how they made a life-and-death alliance, vowing to overthrow the dark rule of the Gun God together, but it has only been sixteen years, and everything seems unreal.
In the midst of depression, Zhao Xuewen took out a bottle of burning knives, sat down quietly at the table and began to drink, but after two sips, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Brother Zhao drinks wine alone, don't you smell the wine and feel more worried?"
When I looked closely, it was Ling Xiao, who was smiling and groaning, looking at him. Maybe it's another lobbyist who wants to come to himself to find some benefits, Zhao Xuewen thought so, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as he first saw him, but responded lightly, "Brother Xiao is here, sit down!"
As the so-called hemp pole is afraid of beating the wolf at both ends, Zhao Xuewen certainly misunderstood Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao was also a little unsure of Zhao Xuewen's attitude, so he could only forcibly press the mind of confession and slowly test it.
"Brother Zhao, this is not like your character, sitting alone and drinking by yourself, how can you drink with your friends!"
Perhaps Ling Xiao's words just happened to talk about Zhao Xuewen's sore spot, Zhao Xuewen sighed, raised his head and drank another sip of spirits, letting the hot line of fire pass through his throat, soothing his heart that was gradually cold.
Seeing that Zhao Xuewen didn't answer, Ling Xiao had no choice but to say to himself, "Brother Zhao, with all due respect, now the Dreadnought Empire is bent on governing the country with military power, and it is a road of no return, although I am an outsider, but if it goes on like this, even if the Dreadnought Empire gets the final victory, it is the common people who suffer!"
Ling Xiao really thinks like this, how can the suffering of the sword soldier be clear above the temple; of course, Zhao Xuewen also thinks so, and it is also the problem that he can't solve day and night, listening to Ling Xiao say this, he is also a little moved, and can't help but answer, "This is also a helpless thing, what can Brother Feixiao change?"
"Solution? If such a thing is not fundamentally changed, no one can do anything. There's nothing I can do. Such words came from Ling Xiao's mouth, of course, he was also testing Zhao Xuewen, now the situation is weird, and it is absolutely impossible to give the truth lightly.
Hearing that Ling Xiao couldn't do anything, the little light in Zhao Xuewen's eyes dimmed again, and he poured a sip of liquor into his stomach again, he finally figured it out, one by one is like this, I'm afraid it's time to persuade himself to find a way out and find a way out. Then throw out some tempting conditions to tempt yourself.
However, what Ling Xiao said next made Zhao Xuewen a little surprised, "Below a thousand years, the ancestor said that the people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, but there are not many people who really understand this sentence, in my opinion, in this fearless empire." I'm afraid there isn't a single one!"
Although it was a little surprising that Ling Xiao would actually say these useless words of argument around the bend, Zhao Xuewen really considered this sentence, "Brother Xiao is too underestimated." As the saying goes, there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, that's what you mean in that sentence. ”
Seeing that Zhao Xuewen finally had an interest in speaking, Ling Xiao immediately picked it up. "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, which is already good. I just want to ask, what is the help of the man, and what is the help of the widow?"
This question is a little bit of a question to Zhao Xuewen, in fact, the way of literary debate is to discuss some of the remarks of the sons in the subset of the scriptures, if you really want to delve into these words and sentences, no one has really done it.
"Four books and five classics, I have also read it, boy, the so-called more help just means that the world returns to the heart, and the princes from all walks of life come to help, at most, plus the wealthy families and strong families, but has Brother Zhao ever thought about the power of the people?"
Zhao Xuewen obviously never considered the truth that everyone knew in his previous life, and asked suspiciously, "What strength can the people have? What strength can the people have, and they are not submissive, I am afraid that a gun or a knife can scare them into shrinking their heads and surrendering, what power can they have!"
Frowning, Ling Xiao had to explain a little more clearly, "That's because they don't know their own strength, this needs someone to guide, Brother Zhao, think about it, if the people can really come to their senses, they don't have to do more, just don't work, or no longer let people take away the fruits of labor, what will happen?"
What the common people can do is just to work in the fields every day, but if they really don't work, big things will really happen, Ling Xiao's guiding words made Zhao Xuewen more and more excited the more he thought about it. Yes, silk and satin, delicacies, that bit and that piece are not all made by the common people, if there is really that day, maybe just looking for something to eat is already a great luxury.
Seeing that Zhao Xuewen's heart was moved, Ling Xiao struck while the iron was hot, "Think deeper, except for the high-ranking families and royal nobles, who is not crawling out of the common people step by step, if there are really no ordinary people, who will fight, who will kill people, do those fools with fat brains have the courage to hold knives and the determination to fight hard?"
With such thorough words, Zhao Xuewen can be said to be unheard of, although he understands a little, he still doesn't understand how to stimulate the power of the people, but this does not prevent him from finally figuring out one thing, that is, Ling Xiao did not come to find some kind of benefit, but really wanted to cooperate with the Sword of Freedom, and had the intention of helping the Sword of Freedom, of course, it was inevitable to do something beneficial to the coalition forces by the way.
"Brother Xiao, your words have made my mind clear, but I still want to ask, how to exert the power of the common people?"
Things took a turn for the better, and Ling Xiao was also happy, "People's war, no enemy in the world can beat the strategy of people's war!" By the way, you will understand this way, for example, in this Linhai City, if the restaurant outside the yamen is handed over to you on a formal occasion, if someone wants to snatch your things, what will you do?"
didn't want to think about it, Zhao Xuewen, who was drinking so hotly, stopped drinking, "Copy the guy and beat him up, milk." After saying this, he also seemed to have an understanding, and his eyes were no longer that dazed look, and the night general's former pride began to surge again like a wave! (To be continued......)
