Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Lin Yi had no objection to letting him go to Europe to participate in peace talks.

Whether in his previous life or in this time and space, he has never been to Europe, and he actually wants to see it himself.

Therefore, Lin Yi also agreed.

When Zhao Xu saw that Lin Yi agreed, he would naturally not object. However, considering that Lin Yi was not a formal diplomat, Zhao Xu still asked Gu Xianzhi to accompany Lin Yi as his deputy.

When Lin Yi returned to the palace and saw his three children and three princesses who were over 7 years old, Lin Yi felt somewhat apologetic in his heart.

For the sake of the prosperity of the empire, he spent almost all his time at the military headquarters or Longxiang Army headquarters. Lin Yi rarely worried about the affairs of the palace.

Since the three princesses entered the palace, Lin Yi handed over the management of the palace to the three princesses. The housekeeper Lao Fang also handed over the financial power of the palace to the main concubine Lin Wanyu. The side concubine Hu Qingluo and the side concubine Li Yuqing came from the side. assist.

As I said before, the three princesses did not come from wealthy families. They were all the daughters of petty officials or wealthy businessmen, and their characters were also very good.

The father of Princess Lin Wanyu was originally an official in a county in the south of the Yangtze River, and now he was only the chief financial official in the Jianghuai region.

Her father was a relatively rigid scholar, without so many twists and turns. He had been an official for more than [-] years, and his political achievements could only be said to be average. Perhaps his most successful achievement was educating Lin Wanyu.

The father of the concubine Hu Qingluo is a businessman in Guangdong and Guangxi, and his ancestral home is Huguang.

This person is very particular about integrity in doing business. He is a well-known big businessman in Guangdong and Guangxi. He is currently the president of the Guangdong and Guangxi Chamber of Commerce.

The other concubine, Li Yuqing, was the personal maid of Queen Zhang Yan and was an orphan. But Li Yuqing has been well-behaved since she was a child and is very popular with Zhang Yan.

However, don't get me wrong, Li Yuqing was not sent by Zhang Yan to monitor him. Lin Yi had investigated this matter.

At the same time, Li Yuqing also knew that her status was special, so she was the most low-key among the palace.

As soon as Lin Yi returned to the palace, he saw his three wives teaching the children. A smile appeared on his face and he felt very warm in his heart.

No matter how tired he was, when he returned home and saw such a scene, he immediately felt relieved.

At this time, Lin Yi looked at his wife and children, and suddenly thought that he had been married for so long and had never spent time with them.

After all, in the past, this world war was like a big stone, weighing on his heart, making him breathless. How could he be in the mood to accompany his wife and children?

But it's different now.

The empire has become the biggest winner in this world war, successfully seizing vast lands. As long as Daxia doesn't act recklessly or commit suicide, Daxia will continue to occupy the entire East Asia region and become a veritable overlord of East Asia.

Therefore, he is now in the mood to spend time with his family.

Lin Yi felt that his trip to Europe this time was just for show.

And according to the habits of the nobles in Europe, they will often organize drinking parties and so on.

So Lin Yi was thinking, how about taking his wife and children with him for a European tour?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi decisively told the three princesses his thoughts and asked them to pack their things.

At first, the three princesses could not believe that their prince would want to take them to Europe, so they were all stunned.

But after the shock, there is joy, but then there is hesitation and confusion.

According to Daxia tradition, after a woman gets married, she cannot appear in public. As princesses, they should respect these things.

But Lin Yi doesn't care about this. In his mind, women can hold up half the sky, so why should they be imprisoned at home?

Lin Yi is a typical reformist. He has long wanted to change everything.

Now he felt that he couldn't control the queen, she was her aunt after all, but he could control his wives.

So, with Lin Yi's encouragement, the three princesses finally relented and expressed that as long as His Majesty did not object, they were willing to go with Lin Yi.

So will Zhao Xu object?

Of course Zhao Xu would not object. He was even very happy to see Lin Yi taking his wife and children to Europe.

He felt that Lin Yi had been too miserable and under too much pressure over the past few years, so he just took the opportunity to let him relax.

As for Queen Zhang Yan, she heard that Lin Yi wanted to take the princess to Europe with her. She complained that Zhao Xu was not considerate of Lin Yi, but she was also envious.

Then, Zhang Yan sent several of his personal maids over and asked them to serve Lin Yi and his family on the road.

At the same time, Zhang Yan knew that those foreigners were used to holding cocktail parties, and at cocktail parties, they must have female companions.

So Zhang Yan chose three more sets of accessories from his own and had them delivered to Lin Wanyu and the others.

Finally, the maid in charge of making clothes in the palace was asked to measure the size of Lin Wanyu's clothes and prepare to rush out three sets of palace clothes before they left.

Lin Yi couldn't refuse his aunt's enthusiasm, so he could only let Lin Wanyu and the others take their children to thank Zhang Yan.

After taking care of food and clothing, Lin Yi also had to consider the issue of travel.

If he goes to Europe alone, the worst he can do is take a warship. It's both safe and convenient.

But now that I have to take my wife and children with me, it would be inappropriate to take a warship there.

Therefore, Lin Yi planned to charter a cruise ship to go there.

In fact, Lin Yi was reluctant to spend the money. He felt that chartering a cruise ship for his whole family was somewhat of a waste.

But Zhao Xu didn't think so. He felt that no matter what he said, Lin Yi was still a prince, so he still had to be careful.

Besides, if Lin Yi and his family are traveling, plus the necessary escorts and other accompanying negotiators, chartering a cruise ship is not too much.

Lin Yi, who couldn't defeat Zhao Xu, could only agree to Zhao Xu's arrangement.

Of course, the journey from Daxia to Europe is at least tens of thousands of miles, and a single cruise ship is not safe.

So, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Xu directly asked the Taizong to take two cruisers as frigates and go to Europe together.

Lin Yi had no objection to this arrangement.

Why doesn't Lin Yi object to this? The reason is also very simple. Lin Yi wants to go all the way and collect hydrology and ocean current information along the way.

In addition, Lin Yi also wants to dig a hole in Europe.

Now the empire's aircraft carrier has been built and has been secretly tested.

Lin Yi feels that now the empire's aircraft carriers have reached actual combat standards, and in the future the empire's naval center of gravity will shift towards aircraft carriers.

The emergence of aircraft carriers will completely rewrite the form of future naval battles. Future naval battles will gradually develop from giant ships and cannons to aircraft carrier formations.

After all, in terms of combat effectiveness and aspects, aircraft carriers are better than battleships.

In the future, an aircraft carrier battle group can very easily sink a battle group headed by a battleship.

The cost of a battleship is two to three times that of an aircraft carrier.

The Tang-class battleships are so big and prominent. Wouldn't it be a pity not to stimulate the European countries at this last moment and lead them collectively astray?
