Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Your Majesty, I think we should continue to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom."

"As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him. Now that there are rebellions in the Rakshasa country, it is the best time for us to attack the Rakshasa country." After Pan Chengzhang told Li Fu about the development of the incident, he was the first to stand Get up and speak.

In Pan Chengzhang's view, the Rakshasa Kingdom has been causing trouble in the north of the empire for nearly a hundred years, which has made the empire difficult to deal with. At its worst, the Rakshasa Empire even wanted to annex the empire's three provinces outside the Pass.

Regarding such an evil neighbor, Pan Chengzhang's idea was to beat him to death with a stick and let him disappear into the long river of history.

Zhao Xu listened to Pan Chengzhang's suggestion and nodded silently.

To be honest, Zhao Xu now also wants to take the opportunity to destroy the Rakshasa Empire. In this case, the empire will have no rivals in the north and can focus all its attention on Southeast Asia.

Just when Zhao Xu was about to agree, Lin Yi stood up and said to Pan Chengzhang and Zhao Xu.

"I object."

When he heard that Lin Yi, whom he favored and regarded as his successor, was against him, Pan Chengzhang looked a little unhappy.

However, he did not speak, but looked at Lin Yi with a deep look on his face, expecting Lin Yi to give him an explanation.

Lin Yi first smiled apologetically at Pan Chengzhang. To be honest, he and Pan Chengzhang were very happy working together and there was no conflict between the two people.

However, this matter cannot be done as Pan Chengzhang said.

Destroying a decadent and backward Rakshasa country, but creating a more terrifying red furry bear for itself, this is the truly terrifying thing for the empire.

"Your Majesty, Lord Pan, before I state my opinions, I would like to ask you a question first."

“In a confrontation between countries, would you rather choose a stale, decadent, and familiar opponent, or would you rather choose an unknown and vibrant country as your opponent?”

Before Lin Yi spoke, he took the lead in asking a question, which made everyone present lower their heads in thought.

After a while, Zhao Xu asked the doubts in his heart.

"Yi'er, what do you mean, if we destroy the Rakshasa Empire and replace it with a new country? But I don't understand why we can't directly occupy the entire Rakshasa Empire territory, but let this new country What about the emergence of the country?”

The ministers present also nodded after hearing Zhao Xu's words.

That's right, why doesn't the empire directly occupy the entire Rakshasa Kingdom and then let some new country appear?

If the empire can occupy the entire Rakshasa country, then there will be no new country.

"First of all, let's talk about whether the empire can eat all the territory of the Rakshasa Empire. I think it is impossible for the empire to eat all of it."

"The best territories of the Rakshasa Empire are all in Europe. Currently, European countries are not willing for the empire to interfere in Europe. If the empire forcibly annexes the Rakshasa Empire's European territories, it is estimated that the first ones to stand up against us will be our allies."

Lin Yi said with some helplessness, the current situation is like this.

Don't look at the fact that the Hans Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire seem to have very good relations with Daxia. But once the empire wants to annex the Rakshasa Empire, especially all the European territories of the Rakshasa Empire, then the Hans Empire will definitely be the first to object.

After all, the Hans Empire did not want a more powerful opponent than the Rakshasa Empire to appear on its eastern front.

Even this opponent is still an ally with them.

The Mongol army swept across Europe back then, making the whole of Europe tremble. Even now, when it comes to the Mongols, Europe is still silent about them.

Therefore, at this stage, it is unrealistic for the empire to annex the Rakshasa Empire.

The real opportunity for the Empire to intervene in European affairs will have to wait for a while, at least until the Empire breaks up with the Hans Empire and regards the Hans Empire as an enemy.

At this time, Lin Yi felt that the best thing would be to wait until twenty years later.

Since the current empire cannot absorb the entire Rakshasa Empire, a new country will inevitably appear after the Rakshasa Empire is destroyed.

Some people here may think that since the empire can't afford it, why not negotiate with the Hans Empire to divide the Rakshasa Empire, using the Ural and Caucasus Mountains as the dividing line?

In fact, Lin Yi has also thought about this method, but again, if the Rakshasa Empire is really divided according to the Ural and Caucasus as the border, it is actually equivalent to the empire bordering the Hans Empire.

When the time comes, the Hans Empire will definitely be on guard against the Empire and form a vicious competition.

At this stage, Lin Yi does not want to put his limited energy into competing with the Hans Empire. According to Lin Yi's plan for the empire, this world war should end with the victory of the Allies.

After this, the empire will inevitably stay away from the Hans Empire, and instead begin to have good relations with the Allies.

Because only in this way can the empire have the greatest say after two world wars.

And prematurely competing with the Hans Empire is likely to weaken the empire's voice and allow the John Empire to regain its strength.

Therefore, it is best to have a buffer state between the Empire and the Hans Empire.

And this buffer country can only be the Rakshasa Empire, because it is corrupt enough.

Coupled with the rebellion in the Rakshasa country this time, the empire can completely win over the Rakshasa country.

In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Anyone who puts eternal enemies first will never be a qualified politician.

Lin Yi was cynical before, but now he is much more diplomatic.

"So, Yi'er, your idea is that the empire supports the Rakshasa Empire and helps them tide over the difficulties?"

"But what benefits can the empire gain by doing this?" Zhao Xu thought for a while and asked Lin Yi.

"The biggest advantage is that we have a barrier between us and the Hans Empire. A barrier that can collapse at any time and can only rely on the empire." Lin Yi said slowly.

In fact, in Lin Yi's heart, he silently added that the red giant bear would never appear again.

Otherwise, the giant red bear will be a major problem for the empire in the next few decades.

When Zhao Xu heard Lin Yi's words, he did not immediately give his opinion. He turned to look at Pan Chengzhang aside, hoping to see what his opinion was.

At this time, Pan Chengzhang lowered his head and thought, not noticing that Zhao Xu was looking at him.

After a long time, Pan Chengzhang raised his head, looked at Lin Yi, and then said slowly: "Prince Rui, do you know something? Why are you so sure that after the fall of the Rakshasa Empire, a more powerful country will emerge? , lying across the north of the empire?"
