Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction when he heard Zhao Xi's words. He felt that Zhao Xi was now able to realize the Sakura Country's plan and then directly propose the destruction of the country. This was a great improvement.

In the past, Zhao Xi had always adhered to the principle of "convincing others with virtue". For such things, he always felt that he should influence the other party.

This set of so-called "gentleman" remarks does not do much harm to an individual. At least if you do this, others will say that you have high moral character.

But when this set of remarks is put between countries, it can only be said to be "silly".

However, Zhao Xi's method is actually a bit immature.

"Brother Xie, you are right. Since Sakura Country wants to show its teeth to us, it should pull out his teeth one by one!"

"However, there is one thing I think you should consider, and that is the empire's reputation in the international world."

"According to your idea, the empire should have ended the war in Europe and launched a war against Sakura Country. Then you need to consider the Western world's views on this matter, as well as the anti-war sentiment within the empire."

"So, Brother Xi, please think about it again, what should we do?"

Lin Yi looked at Zhao Xi. After he put forward his idea, he quietly waited for Zhao Xi, hoping that he could come up with other ideas.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily.

To be honest, Zhao Xi still feels a little disappointed in his heart. He feels that he has worked very hard, but the gap between him and Lin Yi is still so big.

Lin Yi looked at the disappointment on Zhao Xi's face, and a smile did appear on his face.

"Brother Xie, you have to remember that you are the future emperor of the empire, not a combat staff officer of the military department. You cannot hold yourself to the standards of a combat staff officer."

"As an emperor, you must understand who the enemies of the empire are and what their purpose is for everything they do. As for how the empire will counterattack, as for counterattacks, that is what ministers should do."

"If you have to think about everything, what else do you need me to do? So don't be disappointed in yourself. You have done a good job now."

Lin Yi smiled and enlightened Zhao Xi. He didn't want Zhao Xi to lose confidence in himself because of this incident.

When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, his heart suddenly felt much better, and his mood suddenly became brighter.

And when he was in a good mood, his thoughts became more active.

"Brother, I understand." Zhao He nodded, and then continued: "Brother just said that we need to consider the international impact, so eldest brother wants the empire to be at the commanding heights of public opinion. Brother, do you want to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Luring the snake out of its hole?" Lin Yi had a smile on his face: "Go on."

"Brother, this is what I think. Since the Sakura Kingdom is determined to plot against me, Daxia, they will definitely make follow-up actions."

"With the current strength of Sakura Country, no matter what they do, in my opinion, their chances of winning are very small."

"If I were the Prime Minister of Sakura Country, the first step I would do would be to develop myself. However, Sakura Country is small and lacks resources. It is very unrealistic to rely on its own conditions for development."

"What's more, the unification of Sakura Country has not been completed. There is also Fuso Country on Kyushu Island in Shikoku."

"So, there is only one way before Sakura Country, and that is to gain Daxia's trust, let Daxia loosen its control over Sakura Country, and allow Sakura Country to trade with the world."

"When we have enough strength, we will wait for an opportunity to annex the Fuso Kingdom and complete the unification. Then we will lie dormant. When the world undergoes major changes, we will seize the opportunity to rise up and fight the empire to the death."

"That's right." This time Lin Yi was happy from the bottom of his heart, because Zhao He said everything on his mind.

"So, if Sakura Country wants to rise, the first step is to gain the empire's trust in them. And in order for the empire to stand on the moral high ground, we can give it this opportunity."

"So Brother Xie, what will happen after defeating the Sakura Kingdom? What are your plans? How will the empire deal with the Sakura Kingdom?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

"Brother, from the perspective of international public opinion, it is unrealistic for the empire to destroy the country and massacre the city. If it really does this, it will definitely be condemned by all countries in the world."

"But if we leave it alone, it won't be long before Sakura Country's anti-imperial ideas will rise again, and by then it will be another war for the empire."

"So, for the empire, it is a big change. It will replace the top management of Sakura Kingdom, inside and outside. Support a pro-empire person to come to power and serve as the head of state."

"As for those former senior officials of Sakura Country, the empire can also use war crimes to try and clean them up."

"After all, this kind of right is the right of the victorious country, and no country in the world can say anything about it." Zhao Xi became more and more confident as he spoke, and the confident expression on his face became more and more obvious.

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"It's a good idea, I think so too, but Brother Xie, you still neglected one thing, and that is the issue of education."

"The current education in Sakura Country has been cultivating the military mentality of the younger generation, which means that the younger generation thinks that Sakura Country should be the master of East Asia."

"Under such an educational environment, the younger generation educated will be extremely hostile to the empire."

"If you want Sakura Country to become obedient, then the empire must reform their education. Only when the children who receive the new education grow up and enter all walks of life, will Sakura Country, this unfamiliar dog, be considered tame."

When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, he nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, without reforming education, what the empire is doing now can only be regarded as useless efforts. In a few years, the Sakura Kingdom will still rebel.

Simply get rid of their current high-level officials and use a new education system to enslave them. Only in this way can Sakura Country become an obedient dog.

As for why the empire doesn't directly send troops to make Sakura Country a part of the empire.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, and Zhao He didn't mention it either. Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between the two brothers.

"Okay, Brother Xie, I'll give you a task. You write a plan for what we talked about today, and then give it to your uncle for him to take a look at. After all, if this plan is really implemented, it will not be done twice a year. It will be effective within a year.”

"Every aspect involved requires my uncle's personal nod."

"As for you, Fang Xiao, you can get ready now."

"Since we plan to let Sakura Country develop first, we will secretly target him. I don't want Sakura Country to really escape the control of the empire."

"So, be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Keep a close eye on the senior officials of Sakura Country. Even if I want to know what kind of underwear their prime minister is wearing today, I will find out."

After hearing Lin Yi's arrangement, Zhao Xi and Fang Xiao nodded quickly, indicating that they knew what to do.
