Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After Lin Yi read the memorial in his hand, he put it back on Zhao Xu's table.

"Have you finished reading? Yi'er, what do you think?" Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"It's not a big problem. Everything in the empire is developing in a good direction now. As long as we follow the steps, we will be able to catch up with the European countries before the war comes." Lin Yi said slowly.

When he heard Lin Yi talk about world war again, Zhao Xu hesitated, and then said slowly: "Yier, do you really think this war will affect the empire?"

"In other words, can I, Daxia, survive this war alone?"

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xu's words, he knew that Zhao Xu had not given up on his unrealistic idea until this moment.

Lin Yi previously proposed that the empire needs to vigorously develop industry, and when it comes to industries for people's livelihood, it also needs to prepare for war.

At that time, Zhao Xu asked Lin Yi if the empire could not participate in affairs in Europe.

Lin Yi also considered it, but he felt that the possibility of the empire not being involved was very low.

After all, if the empire needs to develop, it must contact other countries. In this contact, there will inevitably be a relationship of interest.

As long as there is a relationship of interest, one must consider the issue of siding with one another.

Moreover, as the empire becomes more and more powerful, even if the empire does not want to participate, it will still be dragged down by European countries.

Therefore, whether the empire will participate in the war or not depends not only on the empire's will, but also on the European countries.

If the European countries are determined to drag the empire down. Then no matter how the empire hides, it is impossible to escape.

In this case, make preparations in advance and use your absolute strength to obtain sufficient benefits for the empire.

Moreover, Lin Yi also has his own little thoughts.

You know, this is a world war! As long as the empire can win, the benefits to the empire will be huge.

In Lin Yi's plan, he wanted to control all of East Asia, Southeast Asia, including Australia, under the control of the empire through World War I.

After that, the empire worked hard and waited for the second war, but that time was the war that would determine the world structure for the next hundred years.

The empire must be at the forefront of all countries in the world, and even become the world's number one power.

Therefore, Lin Yi had no reason not to participate in these two wars.

Since you have to fight anyway, be prepared in advance.

However, for Zhao Xu, he was not willing to start the war easily.

This is because he is the emperor and he definitely has more things to consider than Lin Yi.

Not to mention anything else, if the war breaks out, the business and people's livelihood within the empire will be greatly affected.

The empire's recovery, which had finally come to an end, would be interrupted by war.

Therefore, as the emperor of the empire, Zhao Xu least wanted a war.

"Uncle, we have said this before. The possibility of the empire trying to survive alone is very slim."

"Rather than thinking about how to avoid war and make complete preparations, try to win this war at the lowest cost."

"Actually, uncle, you should feel lucky that the main battlefield of this war is not within the empire."

"No matter how far the war goes, the impact on the empire will be the lowest." Lin Yi said with a smile.

When Zhao Xu heard that Lin Yi still insisted on his previous idea, he nodded and said nothing more.

But then Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi and asked: "As for the two sides in the war, have you ever thought about which camp you want to join?"

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Lin Yi shook his head.

To be honest, so far, Lin Yi has not decided which camp to join.

Whether it is the Hans Empire or the John Empire, joining either of them has advantages and disadvantages.

Joining John's empire camp, according to the original history, the empire wants to win, there is no doubt about this.

At the same time, the current strength of the empire is not that of some braided dynasty. Even if they win, they will be treated like trophies.

It can be said that the empire is now a force that cannot be ignored in the Far East.

No matter which side you join, it will be a reinforcement for that side.

Therefore, after the war, the empire can definitely sit on the winner's chair and divide the fruits of victory.

But the disadvantage is that the empire is not necessary for the John Empire, so after the war, the spoils that the empire can divide will become very small.

At the same time, Lin Yi's idea during World War I was to bring the entire East and Southeast Asia under the rule of the empire.

The Hans Empire had colonies on several small islands in the Far East.

Southeast Asia is now in the hands of the John Empire, the Gallic Empire and the Netherlands.

If the Empire joins the John Empire camp, what excuse does it have to fight for these territories?

No excuse!

The advantage of joining the Hans Empire camp is that the empire wants Southeast Asia, and control of East Asia is relatively simple.

The Hans Empire and his allies do not have much interest here in the Far East.

All they want is Europe and Africa, and even the Middle East is not their main target.

But the disadvantage is that the Hans Empire is weaker than the John Empire.

Even including the addition of the empire, it is still much weaker than John's empire and his allies.

If the empire wants to help the Hans Empire win this war, it can be said that it will pay a high price.

As for whether he can become a separate force and start a war with the Hans Empire and the John Empire at the same time.

Theoretically it's possible, and it can still give you a big advantage in the early stages.

But what happens after that? What if the Hans Empire cannot hold on anymore and is defeated by the John Empire, and the John Empire and his allies free up their hands?

Do you want an empire to use the power of one country to fight against the entire world?

This is reality, not fantasy. Not to mention that the empire has not yet become the number one in the world. Even if it becomes the number one in the world, there is no way to achieve this.

Look at America in later generations. It is already the country with the strongest military strength in the world. Does it dare to declare war on the other four "Five Permanent Countries" at the same time?

Is it okay to be beaten up in minutes?

Therefore, Lin Yi felt that he would not consider challenging the entire world until he mastered the mushroom bomb.

After all, if you do that, the loss will be too great.

Of course, in a certain country in the future, in the Goryeo area, one person and one brick, killing from north to south, the empire might be able to do it if it is ruthless.

But if we do this, the empire must be prepared to have at least half of the country disrupted.

In fact, after all is said and done, Lin Yi still feels that the foundation of the empire is too weak and cannot withstand the hardships.

If the empire now had the industrial production capacity of Millikin, Lin Yi felt that he could still try the feat of "one versus four".

As for now, Lin Yi feels that for the empire, it is best to choose one side to join.
